Description

Device and method for ultrasonically focusing and spray-printing aerosol ink particles
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of aerosol jet printing, in particular to a device and a method for ultrasonically focusing and jet printing aerosol ink particles.
Background
Conformal electronic printing can realize the preparation of two-dimensional electronic circuit at arbitrary curved surface through modes such as rendition, direct writing and thermoforming under the prerequisite that keeps the plane electronic function to promote electronic system design flexibility, and then realize miniaturization, lightweight, the intellectuality of electronic system, be regarded as one of the innovative technology that overturns traditional electronic manufacturing. Aerosol ink-jet printing technology is a novel conformal electronic printing technology, has non-contact and high-precision jet printing characteristics, and can realize conformal printing and manufacturing of active and passive electronic components and sensors, and optimization research on the technology becomes a research hotspot in recent years.
In the aerosol ink-jet printing technology, a gap of 1-5mm exists between a spray head and a substrate due to a non-contact design mode; the diameter of the ink drop is extremely small and is only 2-5 mu m; the ink particle ejection rate is extremely high, reaching 80-100m/s, therefore, when aerosol ink particles pass through the ejection channel at high speed, the aerosol ink flow can generate drift dispersion, and the drift dispersion condition has uncertainty, so that the phenomenon of 'overspray', namely 'satellite drops' formed by the ink droplet deposition with drift dispersion, occurs around the originally planned jet printing deposition. The "satellite" may result in insufficient planned jet deposition resulting in insufficient strength, electrical performance of the printed object, and furthermore, planned nearby deposited portions may contact short circuits due to "satellite" deposition. In summary, the "overspray" caused by the drift and dispersion of the aerosol ink particles during the jetting process can cause serious problems such as insufficient deposition quality of the printed object, insufficient electrical performance and even failure.
The reliable control of the 'overspray' of the aerosol spray printing is one of the key conditions for stably preparing high-performance and high-integration conformal electrons by the aerosol spray printing, and the direct method for controlling the 'overspray' is to sufficiently focus ink particles in the aerosol spray printing process so as to inhibit the drift and dispersion of the ink particles. The current focusing methods for aerosol ink streams are mainly three:
the first method is that the flow of the carrier gas and the sheath gas is adjusted: the carrier gas is used for conveying the aerosol ink to the nozzle and determining the distribution and motion state of aerosol ink particles before jetting; the sheath gas is used for focusing and jetting aerosol ink particles in the jet printing process, so that the focusing effect of the ink flow can be controlled by adjusting the gas flow of the sheath gas and the carrier gas;
adjusting an ink channel structure inside the spray head: the uncertainty of the dispersion of the ink particles in the jetting channel is increased due to the complexity of the microscopic geometrical structure in the nozzle, and the adjustment of the geometrical structure of the ink channel in the nozzle can realize the adjustment of the appearance of the ink flow and the focusing degree of the ink particles so as to reduce the uncertainty of the drift dispersion of the ink particles in the jetting process;
and a third method, applying a magnetic radiation force to the magnetic metal ink particles by an external magnetic field for focusing: a magnetic field is arranged outside the aerosol jet printing system, and magnetic radiation force is applied to magnetic metal ink particles, so that the ink particles generate radial movement, and further the focusing of ink flow is realized.
Although the aerosol ink particle focusing method can achieve a certain focusing optimization effect, certain disadvantages exist in application practice. The first method and the second method can only realize qualitative focusing optimization, because the diversity of the physical properties of ink materials, the particularity and the unknown of the actually applied selected ink, the extremely complex correlation relationship between the physical properties of the ink and carrier gas, the sheath gas flow and the geometrical structure of an injection channel and the undefined quantitative analysis, the first method and the second method are difficult to realize the quantitative focusing of aerosol ink particles, and thus the reliable and quantitative control of 'overspray' is difficult to realize. The third method has strong dependence and selectivity on the physical properties of the focused ink material, so that in practical application, the ink selection and printing planning based on the third method have certain limitations.

The high-frequency sound field has the characteristics of good directivity, strong penetrability, high sensitivity, no damage to action and the like, and is one of effective means for particle manipulation, so that the invention adopts a mode of externally adding the annular high-frequency sound field to an aerosol jet printing ink flow jet channel to carry out radial ultrasonic focusing of full coverage of a horizontal layer on aerosol ink particles 6.
Specifically, the piezoelectric-ultrasonic transducer 3 is a tubular structure to realize the radial acoustic radiation force of the full coverage of the horizontal layer, realize the radial focusing of the full coverage of the horizontal layer of the aerosol ink particles 6, and realize the sufficiency and uniformity of the particle focusing of the ink flow, and the inner diameter of the piezoelectric-ultrasonic transducer 3 is the same as the outer diameter of the nozzle 2, so as to reduce the distance between the transducer and the aerosol ink flow as much as possible, avoid the excessive attenuation of high-frequency sound wave energy in the transmission process, and ensure the high-integration matching of the piezoelectric-ultrasonic transducer 3 and the aerosol jet printing system 1. The length of the piezoelectric-ultrasonic transducer 3 is 80% of the length of the nozzle 2, and under the condition that excessive load is not added to the aerosol jet printing system 1, a sufficient focusing action range is constructed, so that aerosol ink particles are guaranteed to be subjected to sufficient focusing action in the jetting process to achieve a sufficient focusing effect.
The piezoelectric-ultrasonic transducer 3 is made of a ceramic piezoelectric material, and the piezoelectric-ultrasonic transducer 3 works based on the inverse piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric ceramics and relates to conversion of electric energy and mechanical energy. According to the inverse piezoelectric effect, an electric signal with a certain frequency can be converted into mechanical vibration with a certain frequency, and the vibration of a vibration source is transmitted in a wave form through a medium to form sound waves with a certain frequency. The signal generator and the power amplifier are used as an excitation source, an electric signal with the frequency of more than or equal to 2MHz and more than or equal to 50Vpp is input into the piezoelectric-ultrasonic transducer, and the intensity and the distribution form of the generated ultrasonic wave are adjusted by adjusting the excitation input of the electric signal, so that the force acting on the particles is controlled; the inner electrode of the piezoelectric-ultrasonic transducer is made of sintered silver material, and the outer electrode of the piezoelectric-ultrasonic transducer is made of PVD (physical vapor deposition) film material.

And finally, the outer sides of the upper end and the lower end of the piezoelectric-ultrasonic transducer are bonded and connected with the part of the outer wall of the nozzle outside the focusing action area by using an adhesive, so that the piezoelectric-ultrasonic transducer and the nozzle are stably assembled, and the high-frequency sound waves are prevented from changing in direction and attenuating energy in the transmission process due to the fact that the adhesive is placed in the focusing action area. By utilizing the piezoelectric-ultrasonic transducer 3 and the electric signal excitation, the radial quantitative focusing of the full coverage of the horizontal layer surface of aerosol ink particles is realized by matching with the nozzle of the aerosol jet printing system of the ultrasonic focusing device and the connection assembly between the two in an ultrasonic focusing mode.
The invention also provides a method for spray-printing aerosol ink particles by ultrasonic focusing, which adopts the ultrasonic focusing method to carry out radial quantitative focusing of full coverage of the horizontal layer on the aerosol ink particles so as to realize reliable control of 'overspray' of aerosol spray-printing, and comprises the following steps:
firstly, aiming at the deposition requirements of aerosol spray printing, including the deposition line width and the interval between adjacent deposition lines, an acceptable range of 'overspray' is obtained, and the acceptable range refers to the maximum 'overspray' range which does not cause the contact of the adjacent deposition lines on the premise of effective deposition amount of spray printing. From the acceptable range of "overspray" and the effective deposition range, the analysis yields the degree of focusing required by the aerosol ink particles 6 during the jetting process.
Then, based on the range of a focusing area in the aerosol ink flow jetting process, analyzing the force-motion condition of aerosol ink particles in the jetting process under the action of non-focusing, wherein the force comprises the fluid drag force of a solvent and sheath gas, the motion comprises the axial speed of the ink particles in a channel, constructing a motion model of the aerosol ink particles in the axial direction of the focusing area, and calculating the time of jetting the ink particles through the focusing area.
Secondly, aiming at the focusing degree required by the aerosol ink particles 6, based on the movement time of the aerosol ink particles 6 in the focusing area, and according to the physical properties of the aerosol ink particles 6, including particle size and density, the radial force-movement analysis of the aerosol ink particles 6 in the focusing area determines the sound field parameters required by the aerosol ink particles 6 to realize the radial focusing movement, including frequency, pressure node distribution, sound pressure, sound intensity and the like.
Finally, aiming at the relevant parameters of the focusing sound field obtained by the analysis, the excitation parameters of the signal generator 5 and the power amplifier 4 are adjusted according to the excitation-response relation of the piezoelectric-ultrasonic transducer 3, so that the piezoelectric-ultrasonic transducer 3 generates a corresponding inverse piezoelectric effect, ultrasonic focusing response is output, and radial quantitative focusing of full coverage of a horizontal layer is realized on aerosol ink particles.
