One, simple, the deflection that can increase piezoelectric ceramics brake of piezoelectric ceramics brake structure, the effective injection action that realizes large particle diameter ink: the utility model is processed to form some discrete independently piezoelectric ceramics each other unit through grooving after piezoelectric ceramics brake and cover plate are linked together, and position, piezoelectric ceramics unitary space is just in time corresponding with the groove location of the fluid slot of cover plate opposite side injection unit.Therefore, independent of one another between adjacent piezoelectric ceramics unit, after unit powers up, distortion alone, can not have influence on or be limited by the distortion of adjacent bar piezoelectric ceramics unit.Moreover that the distortion of piezoelectric ceramics unit adopts is d
31transverse curvature pattern, the ink in can convection cell groove produces larger rock deformation pressure, is conducive to increase ink droplet and sprays initial velocity, realizes effective injection action of large particle diameter ink.
Two, nozzle works alone, increase work efficiency: existing piezoelectric ceramics shower nozzle, owing to being subject to the restriction of piezoelectric ceramics detrusion pattern, during some fluid slot work, the fluid slot of its adjacent both sides must be in off position, otherwise injection action can form interference each other, cause injection unit cisco unity malfunction.So in the nozzle plate design of existing piezoelectric ceramics shower nozzle, injector configuration is triplets often, cycle arrangement, the not nozzle of same position periodic duty successively on the same group during work.And piezoelectric ceramics unit in the utility model piezoelectric ceramics braking is set to discrete independently bar shaped piezoelectric ceramics unit each other, action does not interfere with each other each other, any nozzle of any moment can work independently or adjacent nozzle is worked simultaneously, so that all nozzles can be worked simultaneously, do not have the problem of three nozzle one component sequential workings of traditional ink gun, this can greatly improve the operating efficiency of piezoelectric ceramics shower nozzle.
Three, the type of drive of piezoelectric ceramics is various: the utility model can adopt different Driving Methods of Piezoelectric Actuators.It both can adopt individual layer Piezoelectric Ceramic, utilized the flexural deformation of piezoelectric ceramics, made cover plate produce deformation, after the ink in fluid slot suffers oppression, from nozzle, sprayed; It also can adopt double-deck Piezoelectric Ceramic, two blocks of contrary piezoelectric ceramics of polarised direction are stacked, be placed on cover plate, power up a rear bar shaped piezoelectric ceramics unit and produce compression, another bar shaped piezoelectric ceramics unit produces elongation strain, form thus flexural deformation, the ink in force fluid groove, makes it to spray from nozzle.
Four, can realize circulation in ink, avoid ink to stop up, improve the service life of accuracy of spray and shower nozzle: due to ink quality, the reason such as poorly sealed, particle in ink, bubble etc. can be trapped in the runner places such as spout, fluid slot, and this will cause degradation problem under the nozzle of shower nozzle and fluid slot obstruction, flowpath pressure shakiness, accuracy of spray.Because having one group of fluid, the utility model flows into pipeline and one group of fluid outflow pipeline, fluid flows into the interior circulation of pipeline and fluid outflow pipeline formation fluid slot, therefore, ink circulates in fluid slot, is " running water ", the impurity in ink, bubble etc. can be taken out of, deliver in print cartridge, so just avoid the obstruction of fluid slot and spout, improved accuracy of spray, extended the life-span of shower nozzle.
Five, effectively realize the heat radiation of circuit, improve the stability of operating temperature: a side of cover plate and injection unit form array of cavities, form numerous fluid slots, and ink just circulates in this array of cavities.Arrangement of electrodes, at the opposite side of cover plate, is connected with piezoelectric actuator, and provides driving signal for it.The amount of heat that during work, electrode produces can pass to ink place by cover plate, and along with circulating of ink is pulled away, realizes the heat radiation of circuit, can effectively reduce so overheated problem, and the operating temperature of shower nozzle is more stable, ensures the duty of shower nozzle.
Six, compact conformation, the more nozzle of can arranging, improve the speed of inkjet printing: ink jet-print head described in the utility model is only by injection unit, epiphragma, piezoelectric actuator, cover plate, fluid flows into pipeline, fluid flows out pipeline and driving circuit device forms, and, μ m Qie≤100, the Hou Du≤30 μ m of described cover plate, μ m Qie≤500, the Hou Du≤100 μ m of piezoelectric actuator, μ m Qie≤80, the Zhi Jing≤25 μ m of nozzle, Shen Du≤500 μ the m of fluid slot, said mechanism combination and dimension combination make the simple and compact for structure of ink jet-print head, the more nozzle of can arranging, and then the speed of raising inkjet printing, adapt to the work requirements of different occasions, there is stronger practicality, be particularly useful for inkjet printing, glaze colours is decorated, the fields such as bio-pharmaceuticals.
Accordingly, the utility model also provides a kind of ink-jet printer, comprises ink jet-print head, moving-member and drive control component, and wherein, described ink jet-print head is selected above-mentioned ink jet-print head.Because described ink jet-print head has above-mentioned advantage, make ink-jet printer simple in structure, efficiency is high, can effectively control cost and ensure the quality of products, and the colorant structure in protection ink, strengthens color development effect and decorative effect better.
The above is preferred embodiment of the present utility model; it should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, do not departing under the prerequisite of the utility model principle; can also make some improvements and modifications, these improvements and modifications are also considered as protection domain of the present utility model.
