Rigid printed circuit boards spray printing negative pressure ink supply system and method
Technical field
The present invention relates to rigid printed circuit boards spray printing equipment, be specifically related to be used for a kind of negative pressure ink supply system and method for rigid printed circuit boards spray printing equipment.
Background technology
Rigid printed circuit boards spray printing equipment belongs to a kind of ink-jet system, and in ink-jet system, ink feeding system is a key technology, and the size of the negative pressure that it provides and stability will directly influence the quality of system's ink-jet.
Existing rigid printed circuit boards spray printing ink supply mode is a liquid level difference siphon ink supply mode, and the print cartridge height is lower than sprinkler height, utilizes the ink negative pressure hold mode at the liquid level difference formation shower nozzle place between shower nozzle and the print cartridge.
Present subject matter: the ink pressure in 1 ink feeding system is in the atmospheric pressure atmospheric pressure state, can't load pipeline vacuum degassing device, makes interior being prone to of pipeline form bubble, causes the ink negative pressure maintenance at shower nozzle place unstable, and it is stable to influence ink supply; 2 because of this ink supply mode principle limits, and the print cartridge installation site will be lower than nozzle position perpendicular to the horizontal plane direction, so, must print cartridge be installed on beyond the spray printing machine worktable range of movement, cause the China ink pipe long, the ink supply damping strengthens, and influences ink supply stability.
Summary of the invention
The invention provides a kind of negative pressure ink supply system and method, overcome the easy bubble that forms of pipeline in traditional ink supply method, the problem that the shower nozzle negative pressure is unstable.
The present invention realizes through following technical scheme.
A kind of negative pressure ink supply of the present invention system comprises vavuum pump, vacuum generator, print cartridge, shower nozzle, ink supply pump and ink bottle;
Said print cartridge comprises box body, blow vent, ink outlet port, ink supply port and switch; Said blow vent is positioned at said box body top, and said ink outlet port is positioned at said box body bottom, and said ink supply port is positioned at said box body middle part; Remain basically stable with required liquid level, said switch is arranged in the box body;
The air entry of said vavuum pump communicates with air; The exhaust outlet of vavuum pump links to each other with the air supply opening of said vacuum generator; The vacuum port of said vacuum generator links to each other with said blow vent, and said ink outlet port links to each other with said shower nozzle, and said shower nozzle is positioned at said print cartridge below; Said ink supply delivery side of pump links to each other with said ink supply port, and said ink bottle links to each other with the inlet of said ink supply pump;
Said print cartridge seals;
More than device connects through pipeline.
A kind of negative pressure ink supply method of the present invention may further comprise the steps:
Start the ink supply pump to the head cartridge ink supply, the switch control ink supply pump in the head cartridge makes the interior ink level of head cartridge stable;
The ink of spray nozzle liquid level difference of ink in the head cartridge is stabilized in H, and required vacuum is P in the head cartridge, and P=-0.01H;
Start vavuum pump and vacuum generator, adjusting vavuum pump operating current makes and reaches required vacuum in the head cartridge;
Shower nozzle driving work, the stable ejection of ink;
Said liquid level difference H is selected from 60~400mm, and preferred 200~300mm, corresponding vacuum P be selected from-0.6~-4kPa, preferred-2~-3kPa;
The ink flow rate of said ink supply pump is selected from 300~450ml/min.
A kind of negative pressure ink supply system and method provided by the invention, the vacuum of utilizing ink self gravitation and vacuum generator to produce is kept shower nozzle place negative pressure state, guarantees the stable negative pressure at shower nozzle place through the control of ink level in the head cartridge and vacuum.Compare characteristics such as having black short out, ink supply stability height with traditional negative pressure ink supply system.
Description of drawings
Fig. 1 is the structural representation of a kind of negative pressure ink supply of the present invention system.
The specific embodiment
As shown in Figure 1, negative pressure ink supply of the present invention system comprises vavuum pump 1, vacuum generator 2, print cartridge 3, shower nozzle 4, ink bottle 5, ink supply pump 6 and filter 7;
Said print cartridge 3 comprises box body 31, blow vent 32, ink outlet port 33, ink supply port 34 and switch 35; Said blow vent 32 is positioned at said box body 31 tops; Said ink outlet port 33 is positioned at said box body 31 bottoms; Said ink supply port 34 is positioned at said box body 31 middle parts, remains basically stable with required liquid level, and said switch 35 is arranged in the box body 31;
The air entry of said vavuum pump 1 communicates with air; The exhaust outlet of said vavuum pump 1 links to each other with the air supply opening of said vacuum generator 2, and the vacuum port of said vacuum generator 2 links to each other with said blow vent 32, and said ink outlet port 33 links to each other with said shower nozzle 4; Said shower nozzle 4 is positioned at said print cartridge 3 belows; Said ink supply port 34 links to each other with said filter 7, and said filter 7 links to each other with said ink supply pump 5 outlets, and said ink bottle 6 links to each other with said ink supply pump 5 inlets;
Said print cartridge 3 seals;
More than device connects through pipeline.
According to the foregoing description, negative pressure ink supply method of the present invention may further comprise the steps:
Start the ink supply pump to the print cartridge ink supply, the switch control ink supply pump in the print cartridge makes the interior ink level of print cartridge stable;
The ink of shower nozzle liquid level difference of ink in the print cartridge is stabilized in 300, and required vacuum is-3kPa in the head cartridge;
Start vavuum pump and vacuum generator, adjusting vavuum pump operating current makes in the head cartridge and reaches-3kPa; Shower nozzle driving work, the stable ejection of ink;
The ink flow rate of said ink supply pump is 350ml/min;
Said vavuum pump is selected from maximum functional vacuum-26.7kPa, maximum operating currenbt 0.5A.
The above; Be merely the specific embodiment of the present invention, but protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, any technical staff who is familiar with the present technique field is in the technical scope that the utility model discloses; Can expect easily changing or replacement, all should be encompassed within protection scope of the present invention.Therefore, protection scope of the present invention should be as the criterion with the protection domain of claim.
