Embodiment
The present invention is below further described in connection with the embodiment in accompanying drawing:
As shown in Fig. 1~2, the present invention mainly comprises a plurality of piezoelectric patches 1, interior electrode 2 and external electrode 3, and each piezoelectric patches 1 vertically arranges, and a plurality of piezoelectric patches 1 stack gradually connection along horizontal direction.
As shown in Figure 5, the one side in the surface, left and right of each piezoelectric patches 1 is interior electrode joint face 4, and the interior electrode joint face 4 of a plurality of piezoelectric patches 1 is surface, the same side.
As shown in Fig. 2 and 5, described interior electrode joint face 4 is provided with interior electrode 2, and interior electrode 2 is rectangle plane.Interior electrode 2 upper is positioned at its place electrode joint face 4 below upper below within, and the upper of interior electrode 2 do not overlap below with the upper of interior electrode joint face 4 below.Within the limit, left and right of interior electrode 2 is positioned at the limit, left and right of its place electrode joint face 4, and electrode fillet 5 in the one side in interior electrode 2 limits, left and right overlaps with interior electrode joint face 4 same side and forms, does not overlap with interior electrode joint face 4 same side with the another side of interior electrode fillet 5 in interior electrode 2 limits, left and right relatively.In the area S1 of described interior electrode 2 and its place, the proportion of the area S2 of electrode joint face 4 is 0.5<S1:S2<1.Adjacent interior electrode fillet 5 arranges at adjacent piezoelectric patches 1 left and right sides interval.
As shown in Fig. 1 and 5, the front and rear surfaces of a plurality of piezoelectric patches 1 is external electrode joint face 6, connects external electrode 3 on external electrode joint face 6.The medial surface of the external electrode 3 in the front and rear surfaces of a plurality of piezoelectric patches 1 is connected with the interior electrode 2 of this side respectively.Described external electrode 3 is latticed flexible electrode, can stretch.The lateral surface of the external electrode 3 in the front and rear surfaces of a plurality of piezoelectric patches 1 is connected with external power source by wire 7 respectively.
Suppose that the voltage swing that is carried in piezoelectric patches 1 is V, after on-load voltage, piezoelectric patches 1 Width produces elongation strain, and deflection is Δ W, in length and Width, has produced contraction distortion, and deflection is respectively Δ L and Δ H.The large I of Δ W, Δ L, Δ H calculates according to piezoelectric equations.The boundary condition of piezoelectric patches 1 is approximately mechanical freedom and electrical short in the present invention, by first kind piezoelectric equations, can be obtained:
S=dE,
Wherein S is strain, and d is piezoelectric strain constant (unit is m/v), and E is electric field strength (unit is v/m), wherein
So strain S of Width

From derivation above, can find out, the elongation strain Δ W longitudinally producing during 1 energising of single piezoelectric patches depends on two parameters: the size of the size of driving voltage and longitudinal piezoelectric strain constant of material, and the size of cross-direction shrinkage distortion depends on three parameters: the size of driving voltage, laterally the size of piezoelectric strain constant and piezoelectric patches laterally/size of longitudinal length ratio; And the size of the contraction distortion Δ H producing in H direction depends on the horizontal piezoelectric strain constant d of piezoelectric patches 1
31, height dimension H/ width dimensions W ratio, be carried in the voltage V on electrode 26.
The piezoelectric-actuator using in the piezoelectric type fuel injector of prior art (being also injection valve, injector etc.) as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7, is that the linear deformation producing while having utilized piezoelectric patches 1 energising realizes the control to fuel injector.Longitudinal piezoelectric strain constant d due at present conventional piezoelectric
33size be 500~800(10
-12m/v) left and right, and on the driving voltage that piezoelectric can work, be limited to about 200V, the elongation strain that therefore single piezoelectric patches produces is 10
-1um left and right, is 50um if control the needed total deformation of fuel injector work, and the piezoelectric-actuator of prior art will carry out the piezoelectric patches lamination of 500 left and right (or more).
In piezoelectric-actuator according to the present invention, the contraction distortion size that piezoelectric patches 1 energising produces is
according to studies show that, the horizontal piezoelectric strain constant d of the piezoelectric smart material of associated mechanisms exploitation at present
31can reach 500(10
-12m/V), therefore, when piezoelectric patches 1 height dimension H long enough,
when enough large, when loading certain voltage, piezoelectric-actuator just can produce enough height dimension contraction distortions, thereby by the structural design of fuel injector, utilizes this axial dimension contraction distortion to realize the injection control to fuel injector.So, piezoelectric-actuator designed according to this invention only need to be by increasing piezoelectric patches 1 lamination of some, guarantee the intensity of piezoelectric-actuator, the quantity that outstanding advantages of the present invention shows as its lamination prior art of comparing can reduce by an order of magnitude.
In piezoelectric-actuator of the present invention, piezoelectric patches number of laminations significantly reduces, and reduces the potential safety hazard in piezoelectric-actuator manufacture and use procedure; Meanwhile, reduce manufacturing cost, can realize batch production and application.
