Fig. 3 shows the partial sectional view of ink gun 2.This ink gun 2 is installed with respect to the suitable parts 14 that are located in the printer 1 by support 15.This support 15 has vertical component effect 15a and horizontal part 15b, forms contrary " T " font in side view.Vertical component effect 15a is installed on the parts 14 by means of screw 16, and at the lower surface of horizontal part 15b, by isolated part (spacer) 40, is fixed with ink gun main body 2a.2a is from downside for the ink gun main body, comprises channel unit 20 in order, is fixed on channel unit 20 lip-deep performance elements (executing agency) 19 and performance element is clipped in the middle and is fixed on channel unit 20 lip-deep difference channel units 40.
Following with reference to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, the structure of difference channel unit 40 is described.
Difference channel unit 40 is stacked together mutually and constitute with first plate 41, second plate 42 and the 3rd plate 43.First plate 41 in above-mentioned 3 pieces of plates 41~43 and second plate 42 are made of metals such as stainless steels, and the 3rd plate 43 is stacked together mutually and constitute with resin plate 43c such as metallic plate 43a such as stainless steel and polyimides.The metallic plate 43a of the 3rd plate 43 and channel unit 20 are relative and dispose.
As shown in Figure 4, the width central portion in a side of first plate, 41 length directions is formed on the ink introducing port 41a that connects on the thickness direction by etching etc.Shown in Fig. 5 A, ink via cartridge 201 and the pipe 200a that is connected with this cartridge 201, is imported into ink introducing port 41a from providing ink sources such as black grooves.
Shown in Fig. 5 B, cartridge 201 has: the base portion 201b of tubular; And reducing diameter part 201c, form pointed at side formation reduced diameter and the front end 201a opposite with base portion 201b.Base portion 201b is pressed among the ink introducing port 41a, and the end of the pipe 200a that draws from providing ink source 200 by outside be embedded on the outer peripheral face of reducing diameter part 201c.If the part of the mounting pipe 200a of cartridge 201 (reducing diameter part 201c) is very thin shape, then easy mounting pipe 200a.In addition,, providing ink source 200 is directly installed on the cartridge 201, also can carries out fitting operation equally easily if omit pipe 200a.
Preferred cartridge 201 is by constituting with first plate, 41 identical materials.In this case because both linear expansion coefficient is identical, so both because the expansion that temperature and humidity changes, dwindle identical, thereby can keep sealing between the cartridge 201 and first plate 41 well.Thus, can prevent that air from entering through the base portion 201b of cartridge 201 and the gap between the ink introducing port 41a.
The preferred cartridge 201 and first plate 41 are made by stainless steel.Because stainless anti-ink corrosivity is good, so can use various inks.In addition,, pass through cartridge 201 and ink introducing port 41a, in the ink difference stream of difference channel unit 40, produce bubble so can prevent air because stainless anti-air permeability is good.
In addition, on second plate 42, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4, by pressure processing etc., (the paper vertical direction among Fig. 3) along its length forms the hole of the ink housing tube 42a that is configured for storage ink.On the sidewall in the hole that constitutes this ink housing tube 42a, as shown in Figure 4, also form a plurality of otch 42c of semicircular column continuously.
On part metallic plate 43a, corresponding with the inlet 20a (back explanation) of channel unit 20 of the 3rd plate 43, form ink export mouth 43b (with reference to Fig. 3) identical shaped with inlet 20a, that on thickness direction, connect.The formation position of this ink export mouth 43b is also corresponding with the otch 42c of second plate 42 shown in Figure 4.
The resin plate 43c of the 3rd plate 43, with the corresponding part of inlet 20a of the inlet 20a (back explanation) of channel unit 20, on the promptly corresponding part, form ink filter device 43f with inlet 20a and ink export mouth 43b identical appearance with above-mentioned ink export mouth 43b.
By metallic plate 43a is carried out etching, form ink export mouth 43b, then the part corresponding with ink export mouth 43b of resin plate 43c carried out excimer laser processing, adjacent a plurality of holes that minute diameter (16~24 μ m) is set, concentrated area, thus form filter 43f.
In addition, on the metallic plate 43a of the 3rd plate 43, make part shown in dotted lines in Figure 4 form groove by etching etc., and stay the zone that comprises ink export mouth 43b.Thus, the side relative with channel unit 20 at the 3rd plate 43 forms recess 43g.As shown in Figure 3, this recess 43g is formed for disposing the space 44 of performance element 19 (drawing with double dot dash line) on channel unit 20 surfaces of Fig. 4.But, in corresponding zone (zone in the dashdotted outside among Fig. 4), the outside of metallic plate 43a, form height to side-prominent this protuberance of protuberance 43h (with reference to Fig. 3) 43h of channel unit 20 1 and make and flexible printed circuit board described later (FPC:Flexible Printed Circuit) 4 44 can be drawn out to the outside from the space with the long limits of performance element 19.By means of this protuberance 43h, above-mentioned space 44 is closed.
On metallic plate 43a,, can reduce machining period by etching that is used to form recess 43g simultaneously and the etching that is used to form ink export mouth 43b.
By mutual stacked first plate 41, second plate 42 and the 3rd plate 43, can form the ink difference stream that makes the ink shunting from ink introducing port 41a to ink export mouth 43b.
Channel unit 20 has circular inlet 20a (with reference to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3) in difference channel unit 40 1 sides, and channel unit 20 engages with difference channel unit 40, so that the otch 42c of this inlet 20a and difference channel unit 40 partly is communicated with.Thus, the ink in the ink housing tube 42a is imported in the channel unit 20 via inlet 20a.
Performance element 19 is engaged with on the upper surface of channel unit 20, specifically, is engaged with on the zone outside channel unit 20 upper surfaces and the zone that difference channel unit 40 engages, and does not contact with difference channel unit 40.That is to say,, on zone in addition, separate, on this separating part, disposed performance element 19 with ink gun main body 2a though difference channel unit 40 contacts with channel unit 20 near inlet 20a.In addition, shown in the double dot dash line of Fig. 4, performance element 19 is approximate trapezoid in vertical view, and a plurality of performance elements 19 are arranged alternately along the length direction of ink gun 2.The length direction configuration of the unit, parallel opposite side (bottom and upper segment) longshore current road 20 of each performance element 19.The hypotenuse of adjacent performance element 19 is overlapped on the width of channel unit 20.Channel unit 20 lower surfaces corresponding with the engaging zones of performance element 19 form the ink-jet zone.
The inlet 20a of above-mentioned channel unit 20 and the regional corresponding configuration that performance element 19 is not set.Specifically, as shown in Figure 4, inlet 20a is by constituting with the lower part, promptly the inlet of the diagonal angle, length direction two ends of channel unit 20 configuration with at 2 one of the short brinks of the performance element 19 parallel opposite side inlets of configuration alternately over the ground.Like this, a plurality of inlet 20a arranged spaced on the length direction of channel unit 20, thereby even the longer dimension of ink gun 2, the ink in the ink housing tube 42a also can be resisted flow path resistance, and stably supplies with to channel unit 20.
Below, with reference to Fig. 6, the ink flow path in the purpose is elaborated.Fig. 6 is the amplification view of the ink flow path in the expression channel unit shown in Figure 3.
As shown in Figure 6, channel unit 20 has had the structure of nine pieces of thin metal plates 21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29 stacked.Menifold stream 30 (shared ink chamber) is crossed over and is formed from last several the 5th~layer 7 flat boards 25~27, and this menifold stream 30 is communicated with above-mentioned inlet 20a via not shown path.Be formed with communication hole 31 on Siping City's plate 24 of side thereon on the throne, this communication hole 31 is connected with the slit 32 that forms on three layer flat plate 23.
Slit 32 by on second layer flat board 22, form intercommunicating pore 33, and on ground floor flat board 21, form to such an extent that an end of balancing gate pit 34 is communicated with.This balancing gate pit 34 is used to accept to be fixed on the driving of the performance element 19 on channel unit 20 upper surfaces and ink is exerted pressure it and the corresponding one by one setting of each nozzle 13.The other end of balancing gate pit 34 by connecting the second~eight layer of nozzle that flat board forms communication hole 35, is communicated with the nozzle of the very thin taper that forms on the 9th layer of flat board 29.Front end at this nozzle is formed with inkjet mouth 13a.
The flat shape of balancing gate pit 34 is elongated approximate rhombus or approximate parallelogram, but its diagram is omitted.
In having the ink gun main body 2a of said structure, for example, shown in Fig. 5 A, 200 inks that import at first are imported into the ink housing tube 42a from ink introducing port 41a from the providing ink source, temporarily store therein.Then, the ink in the ink housing tube 42a is via notch portion, and by filter 43f, removes the impurity that is mixed in the ink by filter 43f therein.Ink by filter 43f arrives ink export mouth 43b (with reference to Fig. 4).Then, ink is directed to the inlet 20a of channel unit 20 from ink export mouth 43b, thereby is directed in the menifold stream 30.As shown in Figure 6, the ink in the menifold stream 30 is supplied with to each balancing gate pit 34 via communication hole 31, slit 32, intercommunicating pore 33.Then, in each balancing gate pit 34, the ink that is applied pressure by means of the back explanation arrives the driving of performance element 19 sprays from inkjet mouth 13 by nozzle communication hole 35.
Performance element 19 constitutes by stacked many pieces of piezoelectric boards, and this piezoelectric board is made of the ceramic material of for example lead zirconate titanate (PZT).Between piezoelectric board, there is the membrane electrode that constitutes by metal materials such as Ag-Pd series, on the part relative, forms active portion with each balancing gate pit 34.By applying potential difference between the electrode that is configured between the piezoelectric board, active portion is protruded distortion to balancing gate pit's 34 1 sides, and consequently, the volume of balancing gate pit 34 dwindles, thereby pressure is applied on the ink in balancing gate pit 34.
As the power supply part to performance element 19, as shown in Figure 6, FPC 4 is bonded on the upper surface of performance element 19.FPC 4 draws from the sidepiece of ink gun main body 2a as shown in Figure 3, and is crooked upward, and is electrically connected with the driver IC that is configured in parts 14 sides (not shown).The driving pulse that generates in this driver IC is supplied to the electrode of performance element 19 via FPC 4, make above-mentioned active portion distortion thus.This control of Electric potentials is independently carried out for each balancing gate pit 34.
In addition, as shown in Figure 3,, dispose the seal member 36 of silicon series at the sidepiece of the ink gun main body 2a corresponding with the outlet of FPC 4.Sealing parts 36 are born following effect, promptly protect FPC 4, and enclosure space 44, invade in the above-mentioned space to prevent ink etc.
As mentioned above, according to the ink gun 2 of present embodiment owing in the ink difference stream of difference channel unit 40, ink filter device 43f is set, so with in channel unit 20, filter is set and compares, can increase the area of filter, and reduce the quantity of filter.That is, can make filter integrated.Thus, filter 43f is difficult for producing scale error, so the flow path resistance of energy limit ink stream is discrete, improves press quality.
In addition, (part of for example communicate hole 31 or slit 32) is provided with under the situation of filter in the ink flow path of channel unit 20, and in order to make the filters locations alignment on each several part, dull and stereotyped 21~29 (with reference to Fig. 6) contraposition precision prescribed each other is than higher.Relative therewith, in the present embodiment, not very high by the aligning accuracy requirement of filter 43f reliably in order to make ink.In addition, owing to filter is not formed on dull and stereotyped 21~29, so the flat board 21~29 of formation channel unit 20 is easy to bit comparison.Therefore, ink gun 2 easy to manufacture, and can improve qualification rate and reduce manufacturing cost.
In addition, form on the plate 43 of filter 43f in the plate that constitutes difference channel unit 40.Thus, by for example etching and processing or Laser Processing, can easily form filter 43f.
In addition,, compare, can make the shape and size in hole stable with etching and processing forming under the situation in a plurality of holes that constitute filter 43f by excimer laser processing.Thus, can stablize the flow path resistance of ink flow path.
In addition, owing to the 3rd plate 43 that is formed with filter 43f is resin plate 43c such as metallic plate 43a and polyimides stacked structures that form mutually, so by metallic plate 43a is carried out etching, can form ink export mouth 43b, and process by excimer laser, on the part corresponding of resin plate 43c, a plurality of holes are set, thereby can easily form filter 43f with ink export mouth 43b.Adopt above-mentioned filter formation method, can reduce the manufacturing cost of filter 43f.
In this case, compare with the situation that on single plate, forms filter and since resin plate 43c by metallic plate 43a as the substrate support, so can keep the intensity of filter 43f well.And, because the 3rd plate 43 has good intensity, so the stacked operation between the 3rd plate 43 and second plate 42 is carried out easily.
In addition, filter 43f is configured between ink housing tube 42a and the ink export mouth 43b.More particularly, form on the part the 3rd plate 43 that is formed with ink export mouth 43b, corresponding with ink export mouth 43b of filter 43f in the plate that constitutes difference channel unit 40, the ink that temporarily is stored among the ink housing tube 42a passes through otch 42c, through filter 43f, arrive ink export mouth 43b then.In this case, in the front and back of ink by filter 43f, promptly from otch 42c part to ink export mouth 43b, not bigger variation of flow path resistance.Therefore, flowing of ink is steady, thereby has prevented to produce by filter 43f the time bubble.
Following with reference to Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, the related ink gun of second embodiment of the present invention is described.The ink gun 102 of present embodiment only difference channel unit is different with first embodiment.Channel unit 20 waits other structural element identical with first embodiment, thus be marked with identical label, and omit its explanation.
