ABSTRACT:
A preliminary ejection sensor of an ink jet recording apparatus includes a vibration plate adapted to vibrate on receipt of an ink droplet ejected from an ejection port on a recording head in order to detect the vibration of the vibration plate depending on variation of a gap between a core and the vibration plate, whereby it can be checked whether ink is ejected from the recording head or not. In addition, the preliminary ejection sensor can check the present ink ejecting state of the recording head. Thus, in contrast with a conventional sensing system wherein ink ejection is sensed by an optical sensor on one side surface of the recording head, the structure of the ink jet recording apparatus can be simplified. Additionally, in contrast with another conventional checking system wherein a temperature sensor is disposed on the recording head to indirectly check the present ink ejecting state of the recording head by monitoring the elevated temperature, the ink jet recording apparatus assures that a checking operation can quickly be achieved at a high accuracy. Consequently, the ink jet recording apparatus makes it possible to exactly detect whether or not ink is correctly ejected from ink ejection ports formed on the jet recording head.
