Head chip, liquid jet head, and liquid jet recording device

Abstract

There are provided a head chip and so on capable of improving the print image quality while suppressing the manufacturing cost. The head chip according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes an actuator plate having a plurality of ejection grooves, a nozzle plate having a plurality of nozzle holes, and a cover plate having a first through hole, a second through hole, and a wall part. The plurality of nozzle holes includes a plurality of first nozzle holes arranged so as to be shifted toward the first through hole, and a plurality of second nozzle holes arranged so as to be shifted toward the second through hole. In a first ejection groove communicated with the first nozzle hole, a first cross-sectional area of a part communicated with the first through hole is smaller than a second cross-sectional area of a part communicated with the second through hole. In a second ejection groove communicated with the second nozzle hole, the second cross-sectional area is smaller than the first cross-sectional area. A first expansion flow channel part is formed in the vicinity of the first nozzle hole, and a second expansion flow channel part is formed in the vicinity of the second nozzle hole. A central position of the first expansion flow channel part coincides with a first central position of the first nozzle hole, or is shifted toward the first through hole. A central position of the second expansion flow channel part coincides with a second central position of the second nozzle hole, or is shifted toward the second through hole.
