Specific implementation mode
The skeleton diagram of ink-jet apparatus based on embodiment is shown in Fig. 1.Ink-jet apparatus is formed with from main tank 21 The circulating path 20 of ink out and back to main tank 21.Inserted with ink gun 40 on the circulating path 20.Than ink gun Inserted with pump 22 on the circulating path 20 of 40 upstream sides.Ink gun 40 and pump 22 between circulating path 20 on inserted with Surge tank 30.Inserted with another pump 23 on the circulating path 20 of side farther downstream than ink gun 40.In ink gun 40 and pump Inserted with another surge tank 50 on circulating path 20 between 23.
Ink gun 40 includes multiple nozzle bores 41.Nozzle bore 41 is opposed with the substrate 43 being held on objective table 42.It is spraying In black head 40, the drop of ink is sprayed from nozzle bore 41 towards substrate 43.
The ink of pump 22 and pump 23 into same direction conveying circulating path 20.It can be used for example as pump 22,23 Diaphragm pump.The flow of the ink flowed through in the circulating path 20 in the upstream side of each pump 22,23 and downstream side is according to pump 22,23 Action and pulse.
It is equipped in surge tank 30 and flows into pipe 33, effuser 34, open and close valve 35 and drain valve 37.Flow into pipe 33 and effuser 34 are inserted in from the top of surge tank 30 in surge tank 30.Pipe 33 is flowed into connect with the jet port of pump 22.Effuser 34 and ink-jet First 40 connection.It is flowed into surge tank 30 by flowing into inflow entrance 31 of 33 lower end of pipe from the ink of 22 injection of pump.Surge tank Ink in 30 is flowed out by outflux 32 of 34 lower end of effuser from surge tank 30.
Open and close valve 35 is configured to the sky into external discharge surge tank 30 from the position higher than the horizontal position of outflux 32 Gas.It shows that open and close valve 35 is installed on the example of the upper surface of surge tank 30 in Fig. 1, but open and close valve 35 can also be installed on buffering The side of tank 30.The horizontal position of inflow entrance 31 and the horizontal position of outflux 32 are almost the same.Here, " the water of inflow entrance 31 Prosposition is set " refer to horizontal plane residing for inflow entrance 31 height, " horizontal position of outflux 32 " refers to residing for outflux 32 The height of horizontal plane.
If ink is flowed into surge tank 30, the liquid level of ink rises.If ink continues to flow into, the liquid level of ink arrives Up to the horizontal position of outflux 32.Under the state, it is formed with above liquid level and is wrapped by the inner surface of surge tank 30 and liquid level The enclosure space enclosed.If ink is flowed into the state that open and close valve 35 is opened in surge tank 30, liquid level rises, and the envelope The air for closing space is discharged by open and close valve 35 to outside.
Level transducer 36 is configured in surge tank 30.Level transducer 36 measures the liquid level in surge tank 30.It is surveyed Amount result is input to control device 60.As level transducer 36, ultrasonic type liquid level sensor, floating liquid level can be used Sensor etc..
Identical as surge tank 30, another surge tank 50 also includes flowing into pipe 53, inflow entrance 51, effuser 54, outflux 52, open and close valve 55, level transducer 56 and drain valve 57.Pipe 53 is flowed into connect with ink gun 40.The suction of effuser 54 and pump 23 Entrance connects.
Having heaters 25 is accommodated in main tank 21.Heater 25 heats the ink in main tank 21.In order to follow The temperature of the ink recycled in endless path 20 remains constant, other than the heater 25 in main tank 21, can also recycle Heater is configured in path 20.
The action of the control of control device 60 pump 22,23 and the opening and closing of open and close valve 35,55.In addition, control device 60 controls oil Injection of the drop of ink from ink gun 40.
With reference to 2~Fig. 7 of figure, ink-jet apparatus is illustrated from sequence of the supply ink until spraying ink.
As shown in Fig. 2, storing ink 70 in main tank 21.Control device 60 controls open and close valve 35,55 and becomes pass Closed state.At this point, ink gun 40 is in halted state.Control device 60 makes pump 22,23 work.Ink in main tank 21 as a result, 70 are flowed into surge tank 30 via pump 22.If ink 70 continues to flow into surge tank 30, the liquid level in surge tank 30 can be gradual Rise.
As shown in figure 3, after the liquid level in surge tank 30 reaches the horizontal position of outflux 32, open and close valve 35 is opened. Whether reach the horizontal position of outflux 32 as liquid level, can be judged according to the measurement result of level transducer 36.
If open and close valve 35 remains off, after liquid level reaches the horizontal position of outflux 32, ink 70 can pass through Outflux 32 flows out from surge tank 30 and is supplied to ink gun 40.If however, opening open and close valve 35, ink 70 will not flow out, Liquid level continues to rise more than the horizontal position of outflux 32.
As shown in figure 4, if the liquid level in surge tank 30 reaches the position higher than the horizontal position of outflux 32, dress is controlled Set 60 closing open and close valves 35.Here, outflux can be compared to detect that liquid level reaches according to the measurement result of level transducer 36 The case where high position in 32 horizontal position.If closing open and close valve 35, the liquid level in surge tank 30 stops rising, and ink 70 is logical Outflux 32 is crossed to begin to flow out.
If as shown in figure 5, closing open and close valve 35, ink 70 is supplied to ink gun 40 via surge tank 30.If ink gun 40 are filled by ink 70, then the ink 70 flowed out from ink gun 40 is flowed into surge tank 50 by inflow entrance 51.
As shown in fig. 6, after the liquid level in surge tank 50 reaches the horizontal position of outflux 52, control device 60 is opened Open and close valve 55.Whether reach the horizontal position of outflux 52 as liquid level, can according to the measurement result of level transducer 56 come Judged.If opening open and close valve 55, the liquid level in surge tank 50 continues to rise more than the horizontal position of outflux 52.
As shown in fig. 7, if the liquid level in surge tank 50 reaches the position higher than the horizontal position of outflux 52, dress is controlled Set 60 closing open and close valves 55.After closing open and close valve 55, the ink 70 in surge tank 50 is flowed out by outflux 52.From buffering The ink 70 that tank 50 flows out is recovered to main tank 21 via pump 23.
As shown in figure 8, in the state of closing open and close valve 35,55, ink 70 is recycled in circulating path 20.At this Under state, control device 60 makes ink gun 40 work.As a result, ink is sprayed from the nozzle bore 41 of ink gun 40 towards substrate 43 Drop.
With the pulsation of the ink flux ejected from pump 22, the liquid level in surge tank 30 can upper and lower displacement.Similarly, with The pulsation of the ink flux sucked by pump 23, the liquid level in surge tank 50 also can upper and lower displacement.By in surge tank 30 and 50 Liquid level upper and lower displacement, the pulsation of ink flux generated in pump 22,23 absorbed.Therefore, it is flowed into ink gun 40 The pulsation of ink flux and the ink flux flowed out from ink gun 40 reduces.As a result, it is possible to steadily be sprayed from ink gun 40 Penetrate ink.
Then, by being compared with comparative example shown in Fig. 9, the excellent effect of above-described embodiment is illustrated.
The skeleton diagram of ink-jet apparatus based on comparative example is shown in Fig. 9.In a comparative example, in surge tank 30,50 simultaneously It is not installed with open and close valve 35,55 (Fig. 1) and level transducer 36,56 (Fig. 1).
In a comparative example, after the liquid level in surge tank 30 reaches the horizontal position of outflux 32, if ink is flowed into Surge tank 30, the then ink for being equivalent to influx are flowed out by outflux 32.Similarly, the liquid level in surge tank 50 reaches stream After the horizontal position of outlet 52, if ink is flowed into surge tank 50, the ink for being equivalent to influx is flowed by outflux 52 Go out.
Therefore, the liquid level in surge tank 30 maintains the horizontal position almost the same with the horizontal position of outflux 32, and The upper and lower displacement near the horizontal position.If liquid level becomes to set low than the horizontal position of outflux 32, surge tank 30 can be caused Interior air is supplied to ink gun 40 by outflux 32.As a result, the ink injection of ink gun 40 becomes unstable.
Similarly, the liquid level in surge tank 50 maintains the horizontal position almost the same with the horizontal position of outflux 52, And the upper and lower displacement near the horizontal position.By the displacement of liquid level, air in surge tank 50 by outflux 52 with Ink flows out together.Bubble can be mixed into the ink recycled in circulating path 20 as a result,.If the bubble being mixed into ink is logical It crosses circulating path 20 and reaches ink gun 40, then the ink injection of ink gun 40 will become unstable.
In the above-described embodiments, as shown in figure 8, the liquid level in surge tank 30 maintain it is higher than the horizontal position of outflux 32 Position.Due to liquid level upper and lower displacement near the position higher than the horizontal position of outflux 32, outflux 32 is always Positioned at the position than liquid level more on the lower.Therefore, it is possible to prevent the air in surge tank 30 from entering cycle by outflux 32 Path 20.Similarly, it can prevent the air in surge tank 50 from being entered in circulating path 20 by outflux 52.
It, preferably will be from the horizontal position of outflux 32 to liquid level in order to improve the effect for preventing air from entering circulating path 20 The height until liquid level when dropping to minimum is set as more sufficiently large than the displacement amplitude of liquid level.For example, it is preferable to will be from outflux 32 Horizontal position to liquid level when liquid level drops to minimum until height be set as liquid level displacement amplitude 2 times or more.
In the case where ink gun 40 works, if inflow entrance 31 exposes in the top of liquid level, in ink from inflow entrance 31 Bubble is easy tod produce when being fallen towards liquid level in ink.The generation of bubble in order to prevent, preferably by the horizontal position of inflow entrance 31 It is set as identical or lower than it as the horizontal position of outflux 32.Similarly, in surge tank 50, it is also preferred that by the water of inflow entrance 51 It is identical or lower than it as the horizontal position of outflux 52 that prosposition, which installs,.
In the above-described embodiments, open and close valve 35 is closed when as shown in Fig. 2, being initially supplied ink.Later, as shown in figure 3, Liquid level in surge tank 30 opens open and close valve 35 after reaching the horizontal position of outflux 32.As other methods, also may be used To open open and close valve 35 from being initially supplied ink.In this case, as shown in figure 4, the liquid level in surge tank 30 is more than Open and close valve 35 is closed when the horizontal position of outflux 32.It is equally possible that opening opening and closing from being initially supplied ink Valve 55.
Then, circulating path 20, pump 22,23, the cleaning method of surge tank 30,50 and ink gun 40 are carried out with reference to figure 10 Explanation.
The skeleton diagram of ink-jet apparatus when cleaning is shown in Figure 10.The ink in main tank 21 is discarded before washing. Moreover, by making pump 22,23 work, the ink in circulating path 20 is recovered to main tank 21 and is discarded.Remain on buffering Ink in tank 30,50 is then discarded by opening drain valve 37,57.
After ink in discarded main tank 21 and circulating path 20, cleaning solution 71 is filled in main tank 21.In main tank It is filled in 21 after cleaning solution 71, pump 22,23 is made to work.Cleaning solution 71 is recycled in circulating path 20 as a result,.Buffering The liquid level of cleaning solution 71 in tank 30 maintains the high position of liquid level of the ink 70 when being sprayed than ink shown in Fig. 8.It is this State can by postpone closing open and close valve shown in Fig. 4 35 at the time of by realize.Similarly, the cleaning solution 71 in surge tank 50 Liquid level be also maintained at the high position of liquid level of the ink 70 when being sprayed than ink shown in Fig. 8.
If the liquid level of the cleaning solution 71 in surge tank 30,50 is set as higher, flow is transmitted in the inhibition of surge tank 30,50 The function of pulsation will reduce.Therefore, the pulsation of the cleaning solution flow generated in pump 22,23 can be transmitted to ink gun 40.It is logical The pulsation of over cleaning flow quantity can improve the cleaning performance of ink gun 40.
Moreover, the liquid level of the ink 70 (Fig. 8) when the liquid level of the cleaning solution 71 in surge tank 30,50 is sprayed than ink is high. Therefore, it is possible to the ink residue being effectively removed on the wall surface being attached near the liquid level of ink 70.
In the above-described embodiments, the liquid level in surge tank 30 is measured using level transducer 36 (Fig. 1).Also, according to this At the time of measurement result is come at the time of determining unlatching open and close valve 35 shown in Fig. 3 and closing open and close valve 35 shown in Fig. 4.However, Elapsed time infer liquid level after can also being started to work according to pump 22,23, with replace with level transducer 36 come Measure liquid level.
For example, it is also possible to when have passed through the preset 1st from the time of ink 70 begins to flow into surge tank 30 Between at the time of carry out it is shown in Fig. 3 open open and close valve 35 control.Furthermore, it is possible to from the time of opening open and close valve 35 by The control shown in Fig. 4 for closing open and close valve 35 is carried out at the time of preset 2 time.It is determined according to by the time In the case of the open and close control moment of open and close valve 35, it is convenient to omit level transducer 36.
The liquid level of surge tank 50 can also be inferred according to elapsed time after 22,23 start-up operation of pump.Therefore, also may be used To carry out the open and close control to open and close valve 55 according to elapsed time after 22,23 start-up operation of pump.
Then, the ink-jet apparatus based on another embodiment is illustrated with reference to figure 11.Hereinafter, pair with Fig. 1 shown in The different point of embodiment illustrate, and to identical incomplete structure explanation.
The skeleton diagram of ink-jet apparatus based on another embodiment is shown in Figure 11.In the present embodiment, open and close valve 35, 55 connect with exhaust pump 65.If opening open and close valve 35, the gas in surge tank 30 is vented by exhaust pump 65.Equally Ground, if opening open and close valve 55, the gas in surge tank 50 is vented by exhaust pump 65.
It, can in the state of unlatching open and close valve 35 shown in Fig. 3 by carrying out forced exhaust to the inside of surge tank 30 The liquid level in surge tank 30 is set to reach higher horizontal position.Similarly, in the state of unlatching open and close valve 55 shown in Fig. 6, The liquid level in surge tank 50 can be made to reach higher horizontal position.
More than, according to embodiment, the present invention is described, but the present invention is not limited to this.For example, can carry out each Kind change, improvement, combination etc., this is obvious to those skilled in the art.
