The cross reference of related application
The application is the U.S. Provisional Patent Application sequence number No.61/787 submitted on March 15th, 2013, the non-provisional application of 738 and require its priority, and it is open is incorporated herein by reference.
Technical field
Synthesis jet actuator (syntheticjetactuator) is widely used technology, and its generation is sprayed for the synthesis of fluid, to affect the flowing from the teeth outwards of this fluid, to dispel the heat from its point.Common synthesis jet actuator comprises housing, and this housing limits inner chamber.Aperture is present in the wall of this housing.Actuator also comprises in this housing or mechanism around, for the volume in periodic variation inner chamber, so that a series of fluid vortex generates and is transmitted into external environment condition from the aperture of housing.The example of volume changing mechanism can comprise such as: the piston being arranged in case of sprayer, to move in aperture by fluid during the reciprocating motion of piston or to shift out aperture; Or the flexible membrane of wall as housing.Flexible membrane is activated by piezo-activator or other proper implements usually.
Background technology
Usually, control system is used for being formed time harmonic motion (time-harmonicmotion) of volume changing mechanism.When mechanism reduces chamber volume, fluid is by aperture discharge side.When fluid is by aperture, the sharp edges separation of the fluid in aperture, to form vortex sheet (vortexsheet), vortex sheet turnup becomes eddy current.These eddy current leave the edge in aperture under the self-induction speed (self-inducedvelocity) of himself.When mechanism increases chamber volume, surrounding fluid is pumped to chamber from the distance larger apart from aperture.Because eddy current has left the edge in aperture, so they are not by the impact of surrounding fluid entering into chamber.When aperture is left in eddy current advance, the injection of their complex fluids, i.e. " synthesis is sprayed ".
People recognize, acoustic noise is a unfavorable aspect of synthetic jets emitter operation, comprise two cooling injection (DCJ), and each in the opposed surface of device of two cooling injection uses actuator (that is, piezo-activator).DCJ usually they mechanical resonance pattern place or near energized, to optimize electrically to the conversion of machinery, and to realize maximum deflection under the input of minimum mechanical energy.Although DCJ operation when in their mechanical resonance pattern or near operation time be optimum, people recognize, at some frequencies operation DCJ can generate a large amount of noises, because the sonority features of device is partly determined by the driving frequency of device.
The synthetic jets emitter (comprising DCJ) of many variants constructs with the metallization piezo-activator (metalizedpiezo-actuator) utilizing conductive adhesive to be bonded to metallic plate or blade usually.By being connected to the piezoelectricity side of metallized exposure and the electrical connection being connected to plate material to realize to piezo-activator.Usual use solder or conductive glue stick.Then two in these plates are peripherally glued together, leave the aperture opening to be formed injection.When the actuating of piezo-activator, air is sucked by aperture and discharges, thus causes clean just (netpositive) air-flow.
A shortcoming of metallic plate or blade is that they are expensive, and their rigidity causes higher resonant frequency, which increases DCJ gimp.In addition, metallics can cause the vibration of increase.And the resonant frequency of DCJ may increase due to metallic plate.
Therefore, expect to provide a kind of synthetic jets emitter, such as DCJ, it has plate, and plate is made into has much lower resonant frequency, thus has less noise.Also expect that plate has the quality of reduction, this can provide lower vibration.
