The sound wave equation is derived from a continuous equation and a momentum equation, and describes an important partial differential equation of sound wave propagation in a medium.
Compared with the prior art, the biological 3D printing system 100 provided by the embodiment of the invention does not have a nozzle in the traditional method, but adopts an acoustic control technology instead of the nozzle in the traditional method, and the acoustic control technology has the advantages of non-contact and no damage, so that the cells are not damaged, the biological activity of the cells can be effectively ensured, and the cells can be controlled in parallel, so that plane-based or three-dimensional-based printing can be realized in addition to the traditional point-based printing, and the printing speed is higher; meanwhile, the sound field can generate stress and deformation on cells in the sound field, so that the invention can provide a certain mechanical environment for the cells, promote the growth and fusion of the cells, and fix and form the three-dimensional complex structure assembled by the discrete cells, thereby avoiding the problem of damage to the cells during cross-linking and forming.
Further, based on the above embodiments, in the embodiment of the present invention, the acoustic manipulation module 104 includes an array ultrasonic transducer, a signal generator, and a power amplifier. The array ultrasonic transducer can be an ultrasonic transducer based on a planar array or an ultrasonic transducer based on a ring array; the signal generator is used for generating an electric signal for exciting the array ultrasonic transducer, and the power amplifier is used for amplifying the electric signal. In addition, the transmission signal of the signal generator may be a continuous sinusoidal signal, or may be a pulsed sinusoidal signal.
The function of the array ultrasonic transducer is to convert the input electric power into mechanical power (i.e. ultrasonic wave) and transmit the mechanical power, and a small part of the power is consumed by the array ultrasonic transducer.
For better understanding of the present invention, embodiments of the present invention provide an arrayed ultrasonic transducer that may be comprised of a housing, a matching layer, a piezoelectric ceramic area array transducer, a backing, and an outgoing cable. The piezoelectric ceramic area array transducer is made of PZT-5 piezoelectric material polarized in the thickness direction. The piezoelectric ceramic area array transducer has 4 blocks, and each area array has 4096 array elements. Piezoelectric ceramic area array transducers are used as basic ultrasonic transducers from which ultrasonic signals are transmitted or received. The received ultrasonic signals can carry out ultrasonic imaging on the printed organ and observe the anatomical structure and growth condition of the organ in real time. The imaging mode can be a two-dimensional B mode image obtained based on a traditional pulse echo mode, an ultrasonic CT two-dimensional image can also be obtained in a transmission mode, a three-dimensional image can be reconstructed through the two-dimensional image, or the three-dimensional image can be directly obtained through three-dimensional volume data.

The biological 3D printing system 100 provided by the embodiment of the present invention further includes a flow control module 106, which can effectively improve the accuracy of 3D printing by maintaining the uniform distribution of the suspension cells in the water tank 105 in the soundless field space.
