Abstract

A passage member of the present disclosure includes a plurality of plates including openings forming a passage through which a liquid flows and stacked through an adhesive. In at least one plate, a plurality of adhesive spill holes are arranged at substantially the same distances from the opening, so as to surround the opening.

Claims (35)

1. A passage member comprising:

a plurality of plates that are stacked using an adhesive and configured with openings forming a passage through which a liquid flows, wherein a first plate of the plurality of plates is further configured with a plurality of first openings and a plurality of independent first adhesive spill holes arranged at substantially a same distance from one of the plurality of first openings and surround the one of the plurality of first openings.

2. The passage member according to claim 1 , wherein each of opening areas of the plurality of first adhesive spill holes is smaller than an opening area of the one of the plurality of first openings.

3. The passage member according to claim 1 , wherein the first adhesive spill holes arranged at the surroundings of the one of the plurality of first openings are arranged rotationally symmetrically.

4. The passage member according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a second plate of the plurality of plates which is stacked on the first plate and comprises a plurality of second openings as the openings and a plurality of independent second adhesive spill holes arranged at substantially the same distance from one of the plurality of second openings and surround the one of the plurality of second openings, wherein the one of the plurality of first openings and the one of the plurality of second openings are connected,

the second adhesive spill holes are arranged in a surface of the second plate at a side of the first plate, and

when viewed on a plane, the second adhesive spill holes are not arranged at positions with respect to the one of the plurality of first openings opposite to the first adhesive spill holes.

5. The passage member according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a second plate of the plurality of plates which is stacked on the first plate and comprises a plurality of second openings as the openings and a plurality of independent second adhesive spill holes arranged at substantially the same distance from one of the plurality of second openings and surround the one of the plurality of second openings, wherein,

the one of the plurality of first openings and the one of the plurality of second openings are connected,

the first adhesive spill holes are arranged in rotational symmetry of order “n” (“n” is an odd number of 3 or more), and

when viewed on a plane, the second adhesive spill holes are arranged at positions the first adhesive spill holes.

6. The passage member according to claim 1 , wherein:

the plurality of first adhesive spill holes arranged at substantially a first distance from the one of the plurality of first openings, and

the first plate further comprises a plurality of independent second adhesive spill holes arranged at substantially a second distance from the one of the plurality of first openings and surround the one of the plurality of first openings, the second distance being longer than the first distance.
