PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inkjet head which enables efficient cleaning. SOLUTION: This inkjet head has a plurality of channels which are composed of a pressure chamber and an orifice plate 33 with an ink ejection port 33a. In the inkjet head, a plurality of grooves communicating with respective channels are provided, and a common liquid chamber is provided on the upper part of the grooves. The inkjet head comprises: a partition plate which brings about channel resistance along the grooves by separating the common chamber in a direction orthogonal to the grooves; a liquid supply port for supplying the liquid to a first common liquid chamber on the pressure-chamber side of the partition plate; and a liquid ejection port for ejecting the liquid from a second common liquid chamber on the backside of the pressure-chamber of the partition plate. The flow of the liquid along the grooves is formed by making the liquid flow to the liquid ejection port from the liquid supply port. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
