Description
Technical field
The present invention relates generally to laser drill, particularly the method for outlet opening repeatably in the cutting inkjet nozzle.
Background technology
Since the laser invention, used the pulse type laser source to carry out material removal and just received much concern always.The early 1980s, the application of ultraviolet excimer laser radiotechnology aspect the polymer etching caused further developing of Laser Micro-Machining field, by laser drill, technology such as cut, repeat, can process the part of smaller szie.Recently, the article of a piece " short-pulse laser precision drilling " by name (author X.Chen and F.Tomoo are published in SPIE volume 3888 in 2000---" high power laser processing and manufacturing ") is summarized some key issues of current little manufacture field.In addition, also have following relevant patent:
United States Patent (USP) " ink jet-print head with heating chip ink-jet filter " (patent No. 6,260,957) is mentioned a kind of silicon ink-jet filter that utilizes little processing and laser drill to process, and is used for the heating chip of ink jet-print head.Such heating chip comprises a plurality of filters, can be used for the nozzle of a plurality of ink jet-print heads.The structure of filter comprises a little ink-jet entrance area that is processed to form, and the outlet opening of a plurality of laser drill processing.Before carrying out little processing and laser drill, protective layer need be set on heater chip substrate.
United States Patent (USP) " nozzle and the method and apparatus that forms nozzle " (patent No. 6,089,698) is mentioned and earlier nozzle plate and printer main body being bonded together, and is formed for the nozzle of ink-jet printer then by the method for laser ablation.Laser beam is converted into a bit at the nozzle plate front end, thereby is forming conical nozzle towards the place, exit position.Place the first and second laser beam masks before focus prism, its position is corresponding with the entrance and exit of nozzle respectively in prism, the shape difference of the entrance and exit of nozzle.The nozzle center plane is used to control the meniscus of ink droplet, and the ink droplet of avoiding ejecting is subjected to the side force from nozzle wall.
United States Patent (USP) " use light-absorbing coating and fusible copper control outlet opening precipitate the method with vary in diameter again " (patent No. 6,023,041) is mentioned a kind of method of processing through hole in stacked substrate.This method at first applies the one layer of polymeric light-absorption layer on the bottom surface of stacked substrate, use laser to drill through the hole then between the end face of substrate and bottom surface, removes the light-absorption layer that forms on the substrate bottom surface at last.
European patent " nozzle plate of inkjet printhead " (patent No. EP0867294) is mentioned a kind of method of making the processing nozzle plate of inkjet printhead on the anamorphic zone that comprises nozzle layer and adhesion layer.This method at first applies one layer of polymeric sacrifice layer and one deck adhesive linkage, the flow features of laser ablation anamorphic zone then on anamorphic zone.In addition, this patent also provides a kind of method of improving the adhesive property between adhesive linkage and the sacrifice layer.In case prepared to comprise the anamorphic zone of sacrifice layer, the anamorphic zone of laser ablation coating with the flow features in the formation band, thereby forms nozzle plate then.After forming flow features, remove sacrifice layer.By using laser that nozzle plate is separated, can isolate single nozzle plate of inkjet printhead from anamorphic zone.
United States Patent (USP) " ink jet-print head and processing method thereof the " (patent No. 5 with the locally-shaped jet orifice of laser cutting, 548,894) mention a kind of method of making ink jet-print head, utilize the ink jet-print head of this method manufacturing to comprise ink-jet chamber assembly with ink-jet chamber, and the nozzle plate that is fixed to the front end face of ink-jet chamber assembly, nozzle plate has the jet orifice that links to each other with each nozzle chambers, wherein form the interval of nozzle plate by the method for injection molding, form a plurality of blind holes like this on an opposite at interval, the direction of the cross-sectional area of each blind hole along end face towards the opposite reduces gradually.Utilize the laser cutting nozzle plate to form nozzle plate at interval, the aperture on the nozzle plate has just formed jet orifice with this blind hole.For guaranteeing being connected of spray ink-jet chamber and jet orifice, the size of each blind hole initiating terminal is preferably less than the size of ink-jet chamber end.
Ultrafast laser can continue to produce about 10
-11Second (10 psec) is to 10
-14The intense laser pulses of second (10 femtosecond), the intense laser pulses that short-pulse laser produces then can continue about 10
-10Second (100 psec) is to 10
-11Second (10 psec).This means that ultrafast laser and short-pulse laser have a wide range of applications in fields such as medical treatment, chemistry and communications.In addition, short-pulse laser more can be used for multiple material is cut, holes.Say that in a sense the processing in other hole of submicron order becomes very easy.In addition, can also use laser to process the high hole of depth-to-width ratio on hard material, such application comprises the through hole on the cooling duct of turbine blades, inkjet printing machine nozzle and the printed circuit board (PCB) etc.
In the manufacturing industry quality control, but how to realize the shape of repeating hole, and make it in strict conformity with product specification, this point is very important.Laser system just has such flexibility.Aspect Laser Processing, engineer or user at first design two dimension or three-dimensional structure, and it is digital control to utilize program to be translated into then, realize in good time controlling laser.Yet along with the continuous reduction of feature size, the large-scale production of carrying out little converted products becomes more and more difficult, particularly can rapid processing and save cost, can also satisfy the code requirement of product simultaneously consistently.
The key factor that influences inkjet printer quality is designs of nozzles, construction technology and operation.Often need in above-mentioned material, process a plurality of holes in the designs of nozzles, and each nozzle bore also have the cross section and the outlet opening of moulding.These outlet openings are control ink droplet key points from the ejection of inkjet printing machine nozzle.Any defective all can cause the quality problems of printer.If the ink droplet of ejection is inconsistent, the quality of printer will reduce greatly.
The processing of nozzle bore is a major issue during ink-jet printer is made.The nozzle bore that processing has geometry in particular, and measure its size (include port radius, go out port radius, outlet hole depth, bevel angle etc.) and shape (tapering in cylindrical outlet hole etc.), these all are vital for the quality of control printer and final actual use.Simultaneously, make method of operating that laser tool also must be provided in the process of nozzle, material is controlled and final size and shape are detected, judge whether it satisfies repeated requirement, could guarantee the uniformity of production in enormous quantities like this.
Other boring methods although method for drilling holes has lot of advantages, but still are kept away this problem of unavoidable product defects relatively.At present, the product that utilizes the picosecond laser hole-drilling system to process still can produce defectives such as burr, recess.Because the size of outlet opening and planarization are very crucial for nozzle performance, therefore the defective harm on the outlet opening is bigger, such as the high speed ejection of meeting restriction ink droplet, change drop location or cause that ink droplet repeats etc., these all can make the quality of printer reduce greatly.Current laser drill technology adopts short pulse, low-energy laser more, forms oral pore by traditional diamond-making technique (incising circular pattern, removal center material form the hole), and this also can cause producing unpredictable defective on each face of cylindrical outlet hole.As mentioned above, these burrs, recess can have a negative impact to the printer quality, should avoid in process as far as possible.With that in mind, people need a kind of method to reduce defective in the laser drill process, to improve the quality of products and uniformity.At this point, the invention provides a kind of solution.
Summary of the invention
According to the present invention, a kind of method in the workpiece laser drill that is used for making inkjet nozzle comprises: originally use laser beam to go up the surface of this workpiece of irradiation on one point, this point is positioned at the outer perimeter in required hole and is enough to avoid tentatively excise outer perimeter to the distance of outer perimeter.With variable bit rate mobile laser beam on the outer perimeter direction, and the control variable bit rate is to avoid the outer perimeter distortion.According to the figure excision workpiece material that can fully remove the material in the outer perimeter, thereby form the hole.
The present invention has many advantages.Improve the print quality of ink-jet printer generally speaking, and improved quality and the uniformity of making inkjet nozzle.It is minimum that the defective that produces in the laser drill process to the inkjet nozzle hole becomes.Can not produce the recess of the repeated outlet opening that is used for inkjet nozzle.Chang Gui laser drilling system relatively, the method and system that the present invention proposes can realize on the existing system basis, under many circumstances even need not any auxiliary tools.Therefore, the present invention can increase the cost of existing product hardly.
The present invention can be applied to many fields, in this point detailed description from behind as can be seen.Although should be appreciated that and showed preferred embodiment of the present invention, detailed description and specific example only are used to show purpose, limit the scope of the invention and be not used in.

The specific embodiment
The explanation that regards to preferred embodiment down only is exemplary, is not limited to the present invention, application of the present invention or use.
Generally speaking, the first embodiment of the present invention provides a kind of manufacturing to satisfy the method for the repeated outlet opening of shape need.This method at first uses laser drilling system to process the through hole of a radius as A on workpiece, and A is less than the radius B of outlet opening; Again laser is moved to the outlet opening diameter, carry out circular motion along the outlet opening diameter and process.In another embodiment of the present invention, at first remove initial mass X from the hole, this quality is less than the gross mass Y that finally removes from the hole, and then removal residual mass Y-X.When carrying out all excision operations, coherence request need be satisfied between (border that laser ablation produces) substantially in the border of the border of actual excision and desirable excision, that is to say in predetermined threshold value (if tolerance along perimeter change, then is a threshold function table) scope.Could satisfy the processing specification requirement of product like this, particularly satisfy the qualitative performance requirements in outlet opening or other holes.
Reason around " canned tunas effect " generation---just produce the reason of single burr or recess in the outlet opening, two embodiment have adopted two kinds of distinct analyses.First kind the analysis showed that, when laser beam penetrates at first that certain is some on the outlet opening circumference, will be jagged in the outlet opening or recess produce.Therefore, first embodiment does not eliminate recess in (a bit in the outlet opening diameter range of for example processing) on the circumference by the position that control penetrates generation.Second kind the analysis showed that, can remove material from the cross section of outlet opening certain limit gradually when laser beam processes oral pore, and removed material flocks together, and can cause uneven fission of outlet opening or recess.Therefore in second embodiment, before finishing last step, want to remove material from outlet opening earlier; Like this, when processing oral pore, reduced the gathering that is removed material, thereby the size that reduces recess is until final elimination to final diameter.In two embodiment, material removing rate be by the cutting laser beam when cutting on the workpiece clearance of material define; In addition, through hole also needs to define in the position that is removed on the material, this position is apart from the circumference certain distance, and when the cutting laser beam cut a locating hole on workpiece, the spot size of material removing rate and laser minimal distortion should be less than threshold value (being defined as the tolerance of margins of excision defective) like this; The distance that laser beam path is enough apart from circumference, when cutting laser beam gradually during cut workpiece, the spot size of material removing rate and margins of excision minimal distortion should be less than predetermined threshold value like this; When cutting laser beam during along path movement, need definition laser beam progress rate function, it is the function of laser beam position, when cutting laser beam gradually during cut workpiece, material removing rate and spot definition make the distortion minimum of margins of excision, and less than predetermined threshold value.

Workpiece geometries 200 is cross sections of the inner bellmouth of inkjet nozzle, and this bellmouth can process by laser drilling system 100.But the workpiece geometries 200 here is an embodiment just, and the present invention is not limited to use this shape.
The special parameter of workpiece geometries 200 comprises peripheral diameter 260, outlet opening diameter 280 and outlet hole depth 290, all is to formulate according to print cartridge manufacturer's requirement.
Consider now prior art, Fig. 3 and shown in Figure 4 be a kind of art methods that adopts traditional puncturing technique processing inkjet nozzle outlet opening.Outlet opening 300 shown in Figure 3 is to process by traditional puncturing technique shown in Figure 4, comprises laser beam path 310 and circumference 320.Circumference 320 is to define with the radius that the central point of outlet opening 300 is measured.
For guaranteeing the definition of processing, between laser beam path 310 and the week footpath 320 can be apart from maximum to 20 microns, but this distance is by the spot definition of light beam 107 and resection rate (the material numbers that certain hour inner light beam 107 is removed) decision, with the workpiece geometries that realizes being scheduled in the reality.
Shown in Figure 4 is a kind of method 400 that adopts traditional puncturing technique processing inkjet nozzle outlet opening, may further comprise the steps:
Step 410: the side velocity (the scalar part of angular speed) that reduces light beam 107.Speed during with respect to the machine-shaping hole, side velocity will reduce nearly 50%～90%.Use lower speed to finish the processing in cylindrical outlet hole 300, can obtain better circular hole shape.In one embodiment, nozzle bore and cylindrical outlet hole 300 are according to as shown in Figure 2 workpiece geometries 200 moulding.
Step 420: on the outlet opening circumference, bore a hole.Light beam 107 threshes circular motion along circumference 320, until getting rid of enough materials, causes the material in the laser beam path 310 to separate, and finally processes a radius and satisfies the outlet opening 300 that predetermined workpiece geometries requires.
Shown in Figure 5 is the photo with inkjet nozzle hole of recess problem.Therefrom the result of inkjet nozzle hole after reality processing as can be seen that is to say, according to producing recesses 501 in the outlet opening 502 of above-mentioned art methods processing.
Introduce specific embodiments of the invention now, added key improvements having defined in the ablation algorithms that how on workpiece 155, to get out shape.
As previously mentioned, the present invention considers how to use the laser drilling system manufacturing can repeat outlet opening emphatically, and makes it satisfy certain shape need.The starting point of considering all is two kinds of distinct analyses former round the generation that---that is to say and occur single burr or recess in the outlet opening that machines---for explaining " canned sardines effect " thereby that propose.
First consideration is to eliminate because the material on light beam 107 initial " penetrating " (being initial breakthrough when light beam 107 arrival workpiece 155 bosoms) the outlet opening circumference causes burr or the recess in the outlet opening.Recess at (in the outlet opening diameter range of for example processing a bit) on the circumference, is not eliminated in the position that penetrates generation by control.
When light beam 107 processed oral pore, material was removed in the cross section in the outlet opening certain limit gradually, and removed material flocks together, and finally can cause uneven fission of outlet opening or recess.Second consideration is exactly how to eliminate this part burr or recess.This method was earlier removed a part of material from outlet opening before finishing last step, when processing oral pore to final diameter like this, reduced the gathering that is removed material, thereby the size that has reduced recess is until final elimination.
Further, Fig. 6 and shown in Figure 7 be a kind of method that adopts punching and spiral technology processing inkjet nozzle outlet opening.Outlet opening 600 shown in Figure 6 is to process by punching shown in Figure 7 and spiral technology, comprises starting point 610, laser beam path 620 and circumference 630.
For guaranteeing the definition of processing, between laser beam path 620 and the circumference 630 can be apart from maximum to 20 microns, but this distance is spot definition and resection rate (the material number that the certain hour inner light beam 107 is removed) decision by light beam 107 in the reality, with the workpiece geometries that realizes being scheduled to.
Shown in Figure 7 is a kind of method 700 that adopts punching and spiral technology processing inkjet nozzle outlet opening.
Step 710: penetrate workpiece outlet opening center.Light beam 107 is focused on the center of outlet opening 600, until penetrating workpiece 155.
Step 720: screw is outer to the outlet opening circumference.Light beam 107 is from starting point 610 centers, outside the speed screw of laser beam path 620 with 0.1 second/commentaries on classics～1 second/commentaries on classics, until outlet opening circumference 630.Can remove the material of workpiece 155 in the process of light beam 107 outside screw, cause the material in the laser beam path 620 to separate, outlet opening 600 enlarges gradually, arrives circumference 630 until light beam 107.
Step 730: move in a circle along the outlet opening circumference.Light beam 107 moves in a circle along circumference 630 with the speed of 0.1 second/commentaries on classics～1 second/commentaries on classics, processes the outlet opening 600 with circular peripheral 630.
The instantaneous progress rate of light beam 107 is relevant with the point on the track of the position of light beam 107 and definition circumference 630 respectively, and changes continuously along circumference 630; Laser beam path is a function of the relative circumference 630 in light beam 107 positions; In the processing,, cut along laser beam path mobile beam 107 according to progress rate function execution in step 720 and 730.Like this, when cutting light beam 107 gradually during the cutting nozzles plate body, the spot size of laser minimal distortion should be less than a predetermined threshold value on material removing rate and outlet opening 600 borders.For the special design of workpiece 115, at first should rule of thumb determine this function, write light beam 107 control programs then, perhaps the guiding operation personnel handle light beam 107.Also this function is dissolved in the design of control circuit or mechanical cam among other embodiment.
What employing method 700 was carried out outlet opening 600 finally adds man-hour, because the position that light beam 107 penetrates destruction is away from circumference 630, so can eliminate consequent burr or recess.
Fig. 8 and shown in Figure 9 be a kind of method that adopts punching and slow loop technique processing inkjet nozzle outlet opening.Outlet opening 800 shown in Figure 8 is to process by punching shown in Figure 9 and slow loop technique, comprises starting point 810, laser beam path 820 and circumference 830.
For guaranteeing the definition of processing, between laser beam path 820 and the circumference 830 can be apart from maximum to 20 microns, but this distance is by the spot definition and resection rate (the material number of the light beam 107 removals within a certain period of time) decision of light beam 107, with the workpiece geometries that realizes being scheduled in the reality.
Shown in Figure 9 is a kind of method 900 that adopts punching and slow loop technique processing inkjet nozzle outlet opening.
Step 910: in the outlet opening circumference, penetrate workpiece.Light beam 107 is focused on starting point 810 and penetrates workpiece 155, and starting point 810 is positioned at the circumference 830 of outlet opening 800.
Step 920: handle laser beam to the outlet opening circumference a bit.From starting point 810, operation light beam 107 to the circumference 830 a bit.
Step 930: move in a circle at a slow speed along the outlet opening circumference.Light beam 107 moves in a circle at a slow speed along circumference 830 with the speed of 0.1 second/commentaries on classics～1 second/commentaries on classics, until removing enough materials, causes the materials in the laser beam path 820 to separate.Final result is the requirement that the radius of outlet opening 800 satisfies predetermined workpiece geometries, and precision is in the margin of tolerance of threshold value definition.Keep laser beam path 820 continuous, spend around 360 along outlet opening circumference 830 up to light beam 107.
What employing method 900 was carried out outlet opening 800 finally adds man-hour, because the position that light beam 107 penetrates destruction is away from circumference 830, so can eliminate consequent burr or recess.

Shown in Figure 11 is a kind of method 1100 that adopts binary channels puncturing technique processing inkjet nozzle outlet opening, may further comprise the steps:
Step 1110: in the internal drilling of outlet opening circumference.Light beam 107 threshes circular motion with the speed of 0.1 second/commentaries on classics～1 second/commentaries on classics along laser beam path 1010, until removing enough materials, causes the materials in the laser beam path 1010 to separate.
Step 1120: on the outlet opening circumference, hole.Light beam 107 threshes circular motion with the speed of 0.1 second/commentaries on classics～1 second/commentaries on classics along circumference 1030, until removing enough materials, causes the materials in the laser beam path 1020 to separate.Final result is the requirement that the radius of outlet opening 1000 satisfies predetermined workpiece geometries.
In the method 1100,, eliminated because burr or the recess that the gathering of outlet opening 1000 materials causes owing in outlet opening 1000, get rid of a part of material earlier finishing last first being processed.Like this, reduced the gathering that is removed material the man-hour that adds when finally finishing outlet opening 1000, thereby the size that reduces recess is until final elimination.
