The partition wall that will separate between passage 121,121 adjacent in each channel column of ozzle disc 12 122 at least some of processed by polarization after piezoelectric element formed.At each partition wall 122 two Face is formed with driving electrode (not shown).Partition wall 122 is applied in because of the driving electrode on its two sides The driving signal of assigned voltage thus detrusion.Thus, folded by a pair partition wall 122,122 Passage 121 in the way of cubical expansion, contraction, produce change, thus in passing away 121 Ink give discharge pressure.
It is formed with multiple nozzle 111 at nozzle plate 11.Each nozzle 111 goes out with the ink of passage 121 Mouth 121a connection.The passage 121 of the pressure discharged it is given because of the deformation of partition wall 122 Interior ink is discharged from nozzle 111 by ink outlet 121a.Additionally, ink outlet 121a It it is the opening portion of the passage 121 of downside in Fig. 2 of ozzle disc 12.
Substrate 13 is have than the area big with the composition surface that ozzle disc 12 engages flat thin Plate, it is such as formed by glass, pottery, silicon, synthetic resin etc..Ozzle disc at substrate 13 The face of 12 sides, is formed with the not shown wiring that each driving electrode with ozzle disc 12 electrically connects. The region of the substrate 13 stretched out from ozzle disc 12 is as by this wiring and drive circuit (not shown) Between the connecting portion of the outside wiring part (not shown) such as FPC of electrical connection and function.
It addition, be formed with, at substrate 13, the through hole that the passage 121 with ozzle disc 12 is the most corresponding 131.That is, in the same manner as the passage 121 of ozzle disc 12, along the X-direction in Fig. 1 and set seven Individual through hole 131 and form row, and such row have been formed along a y-direction four row.
The inside of passage 121 with and its corresponding through hole 131 connect.The shower nozzle of through hole 131 The opening portion of sheet 12 side is formed in the way of the opening portion with passage 121 becomes same shape.Respectively Through hole 131 is towards shared ink chamber 141 inner opening, and it constitutes the ink stream making to share ink chamber 141 Enter each ink flow path in passage 121.Therefore, shared ink chamber 141 side of each through hole 131 Opening portion constitute towards the ink entry 131a of corresponding passage 121.
Ink manifold 14 is formed as the box at an opening, and in the way of this opening inaccessible Engage with substrate 13.Thus, in the inner side of ink manifold 14, formed to discharging the complete of ink Portion's passage 121 is commonly fed the shared ink chamber 141 of ink.Ink manifold 14 makes ink from ink Inflow entrance 142 flows into, and discharges to outside from ink inlet 143.
Damped part 15 has damping framework 151 and sends out as the damping area of compensator or trimmer pressure ripple Waving the flexible membrane 152 of function, closing (inclosure) in the dampening chamber 153 formed by they divisions has The gases such as air.Damping framework 151 is formed as thin box by the parts with rigidity, this thin box For flexible membrane 152 stretching arrange face opening.If the face place arranged for flexible membrane 152 stretching In at least opposed with ink entry 131a face.Here, it is illustrated only by hexahedron Opposed with ink entry 131a face stretching in six faces of the damped part 15 constituted sets It is equipped with the damped part 15 of flexible membrane 152.
Flexible membrane 152 has can cover whole ink entry 131a big at substrate 13 opening Little, it is bonded in damping framework 151 by adhesive, thus constitutes one of damped part 15 Face.As flexible membrane 152, such as, can use PI (polyimides), LCP (polymerizable mesogenic Thing), PET (PET), PE (polyethylene), PP (polypropylene) etc. close Resin film.From effectively playing the viewpoint making pressure wave attenuation carry out the damping effect buffered Considering, the thickness of flexible membrane 152 is preferably below more than 10 μm 150 μm, more preferably 50 μm Below above 150 μm.
Damped part 15 is joined in the way of making faced by the face of flexible membrane 152 side and ink entry 131a Put in shared ink chamber 141.Thus, make from passage 121 via ink entry 131a to altogether The pressure wave propagated by ink chamber 141 is collided with the flexible membrane 152 as damping area, and by enclosing Make flexible membrane 152 deflection deformation in the compression of gas of dampening chamber 153 thus absorb this pressure Ripple.
Although as it is shown in figure 1, damped part 15 has can cover than at substrate 13 opening complete The size in the region of the configuring area field width of portion ink entry 131a, but opening than ink manifold 14 Open area is little.Therefore, as in figure 2 it is shown, around damped part 15 with shared ink chamber 141 Internal face between, it is ensured that have the ink flow path 141a towards ink entry 131a.It addition, resistance Buddhist nun's parts 15 configure across the predetermined distance of composition ink flow path 141b between substrate 13.
Dampening chamber 153 and damped part 15 is made as it is shown on figure 3, be provided with at damping framework 151 The pressure of ft connection adjust with hole 154.Concrete to pressure adjustment hole 154 later Function describes, but by using this pressure adjustment hole 154, thus easily at damped part 15 manufacture time be adjusted so that the internal pressure of dampening chamber 153 becomes the pressure of regulation.
The pressure adjustment hole 154 of damped part 15 is sealed from outside by seal member 155.Close As long as envelope parts 155 can occlusion pressure adjustment hole 154 parts the most particularly want Ask, such as, can use adhesive, adhesive tape etc..Alternatively, it is also possible to utilize deposition to seal Pressure adjusts with hole 154.Seal member 155 shown in present embodiment uses thermohardening type resin.
And, for damped part 15, close (inclosure) in the gas of dampening chamber 153 Shrink when normal temperature and the face of flexible membrane 152 is formed to contrary with ink entry 131a side The flexure plane of side depression, the ink in shared ink chamber 141 is in the use temperature higher than normal temperature Time, it is closed in the gas expansion of dampening chamber 153 and makes the face of flexible membrane 152 form near flat Face or the flexure plane to the side depression contrary with ink entry 131a side.Additionally, normal temperature table Show 25 DEG C.
Flexible membrane 152 shown in solid in Fig. 3 represents that the gas expansion of dampening chamber 153 is formed The state of tabular surface, the flexible membrane 152 shown in single dotted broken line represents the gas expansion of dampening chamber 153 And form the state of the flexure plane of depression.Wherein, the depression during gas expansion of dampening chamber 153 The sinking degree of flexure plane is less than the flexure plane of the depression during gas normal-temperature of dampening chamber 153.
Here, the use temperature of ink is in order to carry out lettering action and to penetrate ink from nozzle 111 Time shared ink chamber 141 in the temperature of ink.Concrete temperature is because of the difference of the kind etc. of ink And different, but it is set to the temperature higher than normal temperature.
As the ink in shared ink chamber 141 is set as using the means of temperature, although not shown, But such as enumerate and heating is set in the surface of manifold 14, pars intramuralis or shared ink chamber 141 Device the means that the ink being accumulated in shared ink chamber 141 is directly heated, will be heated by heater After ink tank in ink supply to shared ink chamber 141 means, supplying ink to ink gun 1 Water supply pipe heater is set and will heat during the supply of ink after ink to share The means etc. of ink chamber 141 supply.It addition, ink gun 1 is by piezoelectric element (partition wall 122) Driving and generate heat and make the temperature of ink increase, therefore there is also the heating by piezoelectric element and Make to share the ink in ink chamber 141 and reach to use the situation of temperature.
So, for damped part 15, owing to closing (inclosure) in dampening chamber 153 Gas shrinks when normal temperature and makes the face of flexible membrane 152 form the flexure plane of depression, at shared ink When ink in room 141 is in the use temperature higher than normal temperature, it is closed in the gas of dampening chamber 153 Expand and make formation near flat face, face or the flexure plane of depression of flexible membrane 152, thus During the driving of ink gun 1, flexible membrane 152 will not to ink entry 131a side convexly significantly Heave, it is possible between flexible membrane 152 and substrate 13, guarantee ink flow path 141b.That is, damping Parts 15 had both played damping effect, and the ink towards passage 121 will not be hindered again in use to supply Give.
Additionally, from the viewpoint of balancedly playing damping effect for whole passages 121, excellent The face of the flexible membrane 152 when selecting damped part 15 to be in the environment of the use temperature of ink is Tabular surface.
Preferably, the concrete internal pressure of dampening chamber 153 is depressurized at normal temperature and an atmospheric pressure Under conditions of be more than 50kPa and not enough atmospheric pressure.Thus, can either play and do not make flexible membrane The effect of 152 constriction ink flow path 141b, can obtain again damping effect well.Additionally, The gas of an air pressure is constituted when atmospheric pressure is to be measured under conditions of normal temperature and an air pressure Pressure.
As long as pressure adjustment hole 154 is in a part for damped part 15.Such as, when So can also be arranged at the side of damped part 15.Pressure adjustment hole shown in present embodiment Although 154 faces with flexible membrane 152 opposite side being formed at damping framework 151, but it also is able to It is arranged at flexible membrane 152.But, by pressure adjustment hole 154 being arranged at damping framework 151 Side, is formed based on seal member from the face without the ink flow path 141b side at damped part 15 , the most there is not the obstruction ink load towards the flowing of ink entry 131a in the position of the convex of 155 The heart.It addition, the most there is not the worry damaging damping effect based on flexible membrane 152.
As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, the pressure adjustment hole 154 preferably sealed by seal member 155 It is configured at the portion corresponding with the outside of the configuring area of the ink entry 131a at substrate 13 opening Position.That is, when damped part 15 being projected from the direction vertical with the face 13a of substrate 13, The position that pressure adjustment hole 154 and seal member 155 are configured is positioned at ratio ink entry 131a The more outward position of configuring area.
Thus, even if the thermohardening type resin before the relatively low solidification of viscosity is from pressure adjustment hole 154 Drip to the inside of flexible membrane 152, also can depart from from the configuring area of ink entry 131a, because of This can reduce the shadow that the thermohardening type resin dripped brings to damping effect based on flexible membrane 152 Ring.Even if it addition, pressure adjustment hole 154 is arranged at flexible membrane 152, also due to sealing Part 155 departs from from the configuring area of ink entry 131a, it is possible to reduce seal member 155 Hinder the ink worry towards the flowing of ink entry 131a, and also be able to reduce largely Damage the worry of damping effect based on flexible membrane 152.
From not only guaranteeing ink flow path 141b but also play damping effect based on flexible membrane 152 efficiently From the viewpoint of, preferably damped part 15 is configured that ink entry 131a and flexible membrane 152 Separating distance D than the separation between adjacent channel column ink entry 131a, 131a each other away from Little from d.
Separating distance D is hanging down towards the flexible membrane 152 of damped part 15 from ink entry 131a Straight distance.As shown in Figure 4, by the ink entry 131a of the channel column adjacent along Y-direction, When separating distance between 131a is set to d1, d2, d3, this separating distance D is preferably D < D1 and D < d2 and D < d3.
Specifically, damped part 15 is so that separating distance D is at the ink with adjacent channel column All than this distance in distance d1 between entrance 131a, 131a, the comparison of any one of d2, d3 The mode that d1, d2, d3 are little, is arranged in shared ink chamber 141.Separating distance d1, d2, d3 It is the ink entry (as ink entry A) in a channel column, passage adjacent thereto Closest between the ink entry (as ink entry B) of ink entry A in row Beeline.This separating distance d1, d2, d3 are generally formed at the ink of adjacent channel column The width in gap between the row between entrance A, B.Separating distance d1, d2, d3 may not be phase Same value.
Thus, in the case of observing damped part 15 from ink entry 131a, to damped part The distance that the distance of the flexible membrane 152 of 15 compares the ink entry 131a of neighbouring channel column is near, Therefore, it is possible to make from passage 121 by ink entry 131a to propagating in shared ink chamber 141 Composition in pressure wave, towards damped part 15 advance is absorbed by flexible membrane 152 immediately and declines Subtract.Therefore, it is possible to improve the effect of the impact of the crosstalk reduced between adjacent channel column.
For the ink gun 1 shown in present embodiment, straight line as shown in dashed line in figure 2 L is such, and ink entry 131a, ink outlet 121a and nozzle 111 are arranged in straight line On, and the flexible membrane 152 of this straight line L and damped part 15 intersects.According to this structure, energy Towards the pressure wave of damped part 15 in enough making to result from passage 121 and from ink entry 131a Composition is directly absorbed by flexible membrane 152 and decays, and therefore the assimilation effect of pressure wave is the highest and can It is reduced the effect of the impact of crosstalk significantly, thus preferably.
Make damped part 15 and ink entry 131a across separating distance D the means that configure do not have Particularly requirement.Such as shown in Fig. 5, enumerate and be protrusively provided oriented substrate at damped part 15 The example of an appropriate number of foot 157 that 13 sides are prominent.If making this foot 157 and substrate 13 Face 13a abuts, then can carry out easily regulation separating distance D by the projecting height of foot 157. Foot can also be arranged at the side of damping framework 151.
It addition, although not shown but it also may by foot is protrusively provided in the face of substrate 13 13a is upper or sets up pillar between the internal face of damped part 15 and shared ink chamber 141, from And support damped part 15.
Damped part 15 is formed as utilizing flexible membrane 152 to cover whole ink entries The size of 131a.That is, as it is shown in figure 1, when from substrate 13 be provided with ink entry 131a Direction vertical for face 13a time damped part 15 is projected, damped part 15 comprises ink Entrance 131a's is whole.Thereby, it is possible to utilize damped part 15 to make from whole passages 121 Pressure wave attenuation.It addition, the absorbent properties that can reduce pressure wave in each passage 121 are produced The situation of raw difference.Therefore, it is possible to make the minimizing effect of the impact of crosstalk become between each passage 121 Uniformly, from but preferred mode.
Further, for damped part 15, assuming that flexible membrane 152 is the situation of tabular surface Under, if this flexible membrane 15 is parallel with the face 13a of substrate 13, then for whole passage 121 energy Enough damping effects that balancedly plays, thus preferably.
But, in the present invention, if damped part 15 is configured at least one ink entry 131a With the separating distance D of flexible membrane 152 than this ink entry 131a with include that being communicated in this ink enters Between the passage 121 of mouth 131a ink entry 131a in the adjacent channel of interior channel column arranges The little position of separating distance, then damping effect can be utilized to make from this ink entry 131a's Pressure wave attenuation such that it is able to be reduced the effect of the impact of the crosstalk brought to adjacent channel 121 Really.
Certainly, pressure wave damped parts 15 before arriving neighbouring ink entry 131a are made to decay The quantity of ink entry 131a The more the better.That is, from the viewpoint of the impact reducing crosstalk, Preferably damped part 15 is configured to, so that ink entry 131a and the flexibility of damped part 15 Distance between separating distance D ratio and the ink entry 131a of neighbouring channel column of film 152 is little The ratio of the quantity of ink entry 131a that configures of mode at the number of whole ink entry 131a More than the 90% of amount.
Additionally, when flexible membrane 152 shape in the environment of the use temperature of ink of damped part 15 In the situation (situation shown in single dotted broken line in Fig. 3) of the flexure plane being in depression, preferably by soft The position caved in most of property film 152 and closest between the ink entry 131a at this position away from From the separating distance D coming regulation ink entry 131a and flexible membrane 152.Even if in this case, Though which ink entry 131a, to flexible membrane 152 distance all than be adjacent to its channel column Ink entry 131a between distance near such that it is able to be significantly more reduced adjacent The effect of the impact of the crosstalk between row.
Although the damping framework 151 of damped part 15 is formed by the material with rigidity, but preferably Formed by metal at least partially.It is said that in general, metal pyroconductivity compared with ink (liquid) Higher, therefore, it is possible to make the Temperature Distribution sharing the ink in ink chamber 141 promptly become uniform.Make For metal, such as, metal that the pyroconductivities such as aluminium, copper, stainless steel good can be preferably used.This The metal of sample may be used for damping the wall of a part for framework 151, it is also possible to is used for damping framework The entirety of 151, but preferably at least exist in the way of directly contacting with the ink in shared ink chamber 141 The surface of damping framework 151 is exposed.
Though the ink used in the present invention not particularly requirement, but it is preferably used such as gel UV ink, ceramic ink etc. need to be heated up to advise by ink by heating mechanisms such as heaters like that Fixed temperature also makes the viscosity of ink be reduced to be suitable to the ink of the viscosity of discharge.This is because, although Different because of the kind of ink, but such as use temperature gel UV of less than 90 DEG C more than 60 DEG C The use temperature of the inks such as ink and other inks are in a ratio of high temperature, and the gas of dampening chamber 153 is easy Expand largely, therefore obtained significant effect by the present invention.
In the present embodiment, it is configured with a damped part 15 in shared ink chamber 141, but also may be used To configure multiple damped part 15 in shared ink chamber 141.It addition, the planar shaped of damped part 15 Shape is not limited to rectangular-shaped, it is also possible to be that toroidal, elliptical shape, polygon etc. are arbitrary Shape.
(manufacture method of damped part)
It follows that use a Fig. 6~Fig. 9 example to the manufacture method of above-mentioned damped part 15 Illustrate.
For damped part 15, when making dampening chamber 153 and ft connection to resistance The gas of Buddhist nun room heats, and then closes from outside by dampening chamber 153, thus by heated Gas confinement (inclosure) is in dampening chamber 153.Hereinafter, the concrete example of preferred manufacture method is entered Row explanation.
First, prepare in advance and be formed with the damping framework 151 in pressure adjustment hole 154 in a part. Then, after adhesive 156 is coated on the opening edge 151a of damping framework 151, flatly draw Stretch and flexible membrane 152 (Fig. 6) is set.Though there is no particular limitation for adhesive 156, but in this enforcement Mode uses heat-curing type adhesive.
It follows that the damping framework 151 that stretching is provided with flexible membrane 152 is arranged in oven 100 In, and make adhesive 156 solidify (Fig. 7) by the solidification temperature being heated to adhesive 156. By using oven 100, it is possible to make adhesive 156 solidify efficiently.
If adhesive 156 is cured, then by the damping framework 151 of band flexible membrane 152 from oven Take out in 100, use heating arrangements that the gas of dampening chamber 153 is heated (Fig. 8) afterwards.
As heating arrangements, heating plate 200 is preferably used.The surface 200a of heating plate 200 is in flat Tabular, therefore, it is possible to directly and equably to the gas of dampening chamber 151 to enter in the way of overall The efficient heating of row.Thus, it is also possible to make the difference of the performance of each product less.
Make the surface 200a facing to heating plate 200 of flexible membrane 152 side, and in dampening chamber 153 By pressure adjustment with hole 154 with damping framework 151 ft connection state under, Ge Zherou Property film 152 carries out the heating of the gas of dampening chamber 153.Now, the gas in dampening chamber 153 Although expanding, but can be from pressure adjustment hole 154 to the outside release of dampening chamber 153, therefore Flexible membrane 152 will not be heaved or peel off, thus maintains tabular surface.
Afterwards, proceed by from outside for pressure adjustment hole 154 and performed by seal member 155 Sealing operation, and block pressure adjustment hole 154, thus by the gas confinement (envelope after heating Enter) in dampening chamber 153 (Fig. 9).
Here, it is preferred that when the temperature of gas of dampening chamber 153 ink in shared ink chamber 141 When using more than the 90% of temperature, seal member 155 is utilized dampening chamber 153 to be closed.Thus, When damped part 15 is in the environment of the use temperature of ink, the face shape of flexible membrane 152 Become near flat face or the flexure plane of depression, thus without constriction ink flow path 141b.
Here, it is preferred that, near flat face be the temperature of the gas in dampening chamber 153 be ink Closing (sealing) time institute's shape in pressure adjustment hole 154 is completed under conditions of using temperature ± 10% The face become.
It addition, it is also preferred that, in the temperature of the gas of dampening chamber 153 is in shared ink chamber 141 During more than the use temperature of ink temperature, seal member 155 is utilized dampening chamber 153 to be closed. Thus, when damped part 15 is in the environment of the use temperature of ink, it is possible to make flexibility The face of film 152 is reliably formed the flexure plane near flat face or depression.
It is more preferably, when making damped part 15 be in the environment of the use temperature of ink The face of flexible membrane 152 is formed as tabular surface.Tabular surface is the temperature of the gas in dampening chamber 153 It it is the closing (sealing) completing pressure adjustment hole 154 under conditions of use temperature ± 5% of ink Time the face that formed.By forming tabular surface, it is possible to balancedly play for whole passages 121 Damping effect, the most more preferably.That is, it is also preferred that the temperature working as the gas of dampening chamber 153 is in When sharing the use temperature of ink in ink chamber 141, utilize seal member 155 by dampening chamber 153 Close.
In the present embodiment, the face of the damping framework 151 in the side contrary with flexible membrane 152 It is configured with pressure adjustment hole 154, therefore, it is possible to make flexible membrane 152 side and heating plate 200 Sealing operation is easily carried out under the aspectant state of surface 200a.It addition, can directly utilize The heat of heating plate 200 makes the seal member 155 being made up of thermohardening type resin solidify, the most also Sealing operation can be simplified.
The sealing in pressure adjustment hole 154 is not limited to the temperature ratio of the gas in dampening chamber 153 Situation about starting when using temperature height, such as can also be when the temperature that the use temperature than ink is low Start.If seal member 155 that is thermohardening type resin are uncured, even if then to dampening chamber 153 Gas heat further, it is also possible to bleed off pressure via uncured thermohardening type resin Power, the opportunity therefore sealing beginning, there is no particular limitation.Additionally, from yield rate (rate) Viewpoint considers, preferably proceeds by the sealing in pressure adjustment hole 154 when reaching and using temperature.
Such as by configuration thermometer (not shown) near damping framework 151, and measure resistance The environment temperature of the surrounding of Buddhist nun's framework 151 such that it is able to whether judge the gas in dampening chamber 153 Reach the use temperature of ink.
From the viewpoint of making the sealing operation that performed by seal member 155 good, preferably pressure Adjustment by the size in hole 154 at below diameter 3mm.Particularly as shown in the embodiment will Thermohardening type resin is used as in the case of seal member 155, from preventing the uncured heat that has been coated with Gel-type resin is from the viewpoint of pressure adjustment hole 154 enters in dampening chamber 153, the most directly Footpath is 1mm.Though hole shape is not limited to circle, but in the case of non-circular, pressure adjusts With the diameter in hole 154 be in the case of the circle being replaced into the area identical with the aperture area in hole should Diameter of a circle.
Carry out being held by seal member 155 in the case of maintaining heated condition based on heating plate 200 The pressure of row adjusts with the sealing in hole 154.This is because, if in the heat as seal member 155 Before gel-type resin solidification, the temperature of the gas in dampening chamber 153 reduces, it is likely that because of gas Shrink and be thermally cured type resin and import from pressure adjustment hole 154, and in flexible membrane 152 Face forms film based on thermohardening type resin.In such a situation it is preferred that by flexible membrane 152 and heating Distance between the surface 200a of plate 200 remains below 3mm, thus suppresses damping as far as possible The temperature change of the gas in room 153.
Because seal member 155 that is thermohardening type resin solidify by close for pressure adjustment hole 154 Envelope, thus obtain the damped part 15 having gas in dampening chamber 153 inner sealing (inclosure).Due to Gas in dampening chamber 153 reaches to carry out during the use temperature of ink pressure adjustment hole 154 Seal, so when this damped part 15 is under normal temperature environment, the gas in dampening chamber 153 Body shrinks, thus the face of flexible membrane 152 forms the flexure plane of depression.On the other hand, in damper portion When part 15 is in the use temperature of ink, the gas expansion in dampening chamber 153, but flexible membrane 152 Face be the degree of the flexure plane forming near flat face or depression as illustrated in fig. 3, thus not Convexly significantly can heave and constriction ink flow path 141b to ink entry 131a side.
According to above-mentioned manufacture method, only by the gas in dampening chamber 153 is heated and at this Gas reaches to utilize seal member 155 by close for pressure adjustment hole 154 during the use temperature of ink Envelope, it becomes possible to the pressure carrying out the gas in dampening chamber 153 as simply as possible adjusts.Therefore, Reach to use even if can be easily manufactured to play damping effect and share the ink in ink chamber 141 Temperature compliant film 152 also will not hinder the damped part 15 of the providing ink towards passage 121.
Additionally, the gas in above manufacture method, in made dampening chamber 153 by heating When reaching the use temperature of ink, proceed by the sealing operation for pressure adjustment hole 154, But particularly it is used as in the case of seal member 155 being thermally cured type resin, it is also possible in damping Gas in room 153 reaches to proceed by sealing operation before ink uses temperature.In this case, Continue (when thermohardening type resin is uncured) at the end of the sealing not performed by seal member 155 Heating, the gas of expansion is pushed uncured thermohardening type resin open and is released to outside, thus Making of ink can be up to sealing finish time (the solidification finish time of thermohardening type resin) With the gas confinement (inclosure) of temperature in dampening chamber 153.
It addition, in above manufacture method, employ oven when making adhesive 156 solidify 100, but as shown in Figure 10, it is also possible to utilize cover 300 to cover with being configured at heating plate 200 On the damping framework 151 of flexible membrane 152.Owing to the heat of heating plate 200 can be utilized to make cover 300 Internal temperature is warming up to condition of cure temperature, even if so not using oven 100 also to be able to height Effect adhesive 156 is made to solidify.Further, since can be immediately moved into resistance after adhesive solidifies The gas of Buddhist nun room 153 carries out the operation heated, so also being able to simplify manufacturing process.
