This in conjunction with above-mentioned patent application of awaiting the reply jointly as cross reference.
We the U.S. Patent application that awaits the reply jointly (application number: 09/112,821) in brief a kind of moving nozzle device.This moving nozzle device is controlled the displacement of moving nozzle by a kind of magnetic control element regulation, thereby controls the ejection of ink.
A problem of this design is that the parts of moving nozzle device must carry out hydrophobic to be handled, and enters in the controller zone to prevent ink.
The invention provides a kind of moving nozzle device that hydrophobic is handled that do not need to carry out.
Summary of the invention
The invention provides a kind of ink jet-print head, it comprises at least one nozzle assembly, each described nozzle assembly comprises: the nozzle that can move, described nozzle has one and limits the corolla part of nozzle opening and partly go up an extended shirt rim part from corolla, described nozzle opening is communicated with a nozzle chambers fluid that is used for ccontaining ink, described shirt rim part limits the part of the outer wall of described nozzle chambers, and on a base plate of nozzle chambers, be limited with an ink entry hole, limit the second portion of described nozzle chambers outer wall around the enclosure wall of described ink entry hole setting; Can control the thermal flexure type controller that described nozzle moves for one; And attaching parts that described thermal flexure type controller are connected to described nozzle; Wherein, in use, when described thermal flexure type controller heated bending, described attaching parts pass motion to described nozzle makes described nozzle produce displacement, thus by described opening by described nozzle chambers injection ink.
In the present invention, " nozzle " speech is interpreted as having the element of an opening, rather than opening itself.
Above-mentioned shirt rim part can move with respect to substrate, and more particularly, this shirt rim part is the substrate shift reciprocately relatively, and during displacement, ink is sprayed forward, during displacement, can replenish ink in nozzle chambers backward.When the partial dislocation of shirt rim, above-mentioned enclosure wall can be used as restraining device, prevents that ink from spilling from nozzle chambers.And this enclosure wall preferably has involute lip limit part or scrapes part, with as a kind of seal means.Though between above-mentioned lip limit part and the shirt rim part certain interval is arranged because ink viscosity is higher and this gap is very narrow, when nozzle when substrate moves, lip limit or scrape part and can prevent that ink from spilling.
Above-mentioned controller can be made of two crossbeams, and a crossbeam wherein is as active beam, other one as passive beam." active beam " is meant that when controller started, electric current can flow through this beam, and " passive beam " upward do not have electric current to pass through this moment.Because the special tectonic of controller, when electric current flow through active beam, active beam was owing to the resistance themogenesis expands, because passive beam is limited, so bending motion is passed to attaching parts, thereby made nozzle produce displacement.

The specific embodiment
Figure 1 shows that a nozzle assembly 10 of realizing according to the present invention.An ink jet-print head has a plurality of said nozzle assemblies 10, and this nozzle assembly forms an array 14 (seeing Fig. 5 and Fig. 6) on silicon chip 16.Nozzle array 14 will describe in detail below.
Assembly 10 comprises a silicon chip (silicon wafer in other words) 16 that deposits one deck dielectric layer 18.On dielectric layer 18, deposit one deck CMOS passivation layer 20.
Each nozzle assembly 10 comprises the attaching parts of a nozzle that has a nozzle opening 24 22, lever arm 26 forms, and a controller 28.Lever arm 26 is connected to controller on the nozzle 22.
To shown in Figure 4, nozzle has a corolla part 30, extends a shirt rim part 32 from corolla part 30 as Fig. 2.Shirt rim part 32 constitutes the part of the outer wall (seeing that Fig. 2 is to Fig. 4) of nozzle chambers 34.Nozzle opening 24 communicates with the liquid road of nozzle chambers 34.It should be noted that nozzle opening 24 has a circle flange 36, this flange 36 makes the ink 40 in the nozzle chambers 34 form meniscus 38 (see figure 2)s on the convex edge.
On the bottom 46 of nozzle chambers 34, have an ink entry hole 42 (as shown in Figure 6).Ink entry hole 42 communicates with ink admission passage 48 by silicon chip 16.
There is a corral wall 50 outer ring in ink entry hole 42, and enclosure wall 46 extends upward from the bottom.The shirt rim part 32 of said nozzle 22 constitutes the first of nozzle chambers 34 outer walls, and above-mentioned enclosure wall 50 constitutes the second portion of the outer wall of nozzle chambers 34.
The free ending tool of enclosure wall 50 has the lip limit 52 of inside upset, and the sealing ink is played on this lip limit, and when nozzle 22 moved, lip limit 52 can stop ink to spill.Because the viscosity of ink 40 is higher, and the gap between lip limit 52 and the shirt rim part 32 is very little, under the surface tension effects of ink 40, the effect of sealing ink is played on lip limit 52, prevents that ink 40 from spilling from nozzle chambers 34.
Controller 28 is a kind of thermal flexure type adjusting devices, it be connected from silicon chip 16 upwardly extending (extending upward from CMOS passivation layer 20 more precisely) anchor sheet 54.Anchor sheet 54 is installed on the conductive spacer 56, and conductive spacer 56 is as the electric power connecting path that is connected with controller 28.
Controller 28 comprises first beam (58, active beam) and second beam (60, passive beam), and active beam is on passive beam.In a preferred embodiments, beam 58 and beam 60 all are made of conducting ceramic material or contain conducting ceramic material (for example titanium nitride TiN).
First end of beam 58 and beam 60 all is fixed on the anchor sheet 54, and the other end is connected with lever arm 26.When electric current passed through active beam 58, beam 58 can be because resistance be given birth to fuel factor generation thermal expansion.And do not have electric current to pass through on the passive beam 60, so can not expand simultaneously with active beam 58, therefore, beam 58 and beam 60 can produce bending motion, cause lever arm 26 and nozzle 22 to silicon chip 16 displacements, as shown in Figure 3.At this moment, ink can eject by nozzle opening 24, as 62 among Fig. 3.After the thermal source on the active beam 58 is eliminated, promptly stop electric current, nozzle 22 will turn back to its static position, as shown in Figure 4.When nozzle 22 turns back to its static position,, can produce a China ink 64, shown in label among Fig. 4 66 because the ink droplet neck is disconnected.Then, ink droplet 64 is fallen on the printed media, for example a piece of paper.Because the formation of ink droplet 64 can produce a reverse meniscus 68 as shown in Figure 4.Oppositely meniscus 68 causes ink 40 flow nozzle chambeies 34, thereby forms new meniscus 38 (see figure 2)s immediately, for ready from nozzle assembly 10 next melted ink of ejection.
Refer now to Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, wherein described nozzle array 14 in more detail.Nozzle array 14 is used for four-color printhead.So this nozzle array 14 is made of 4 nozzle assembly groups 70, each nozzle assembly group provides a kind of color.Nozzle assembly 10 in each nozzle assembly group 70 is set to two nozzle assembly rows 72 and 74.A nozzle assembly 10 in the nozzle assembly group 70 of having drawn in more detail among Fig. 6.
In order more closely to pack the nozzle assembly 10 among the nozzle assembly row 72 and 74, the nozzle assembly 10 among the nozzle assembly row 74 is with respect to stagger certain distance or be staggered of the nozzle assembly 10 among the nozzle assembly row 72.And the distance between the nozzle assembly 10 among the nozzle assembly row 72 is enough big, so that the lever arm 26 of the nozzle assembly among the nozzle assembly row 74 is by adjacent nozzles assembly 10 among the nozzle assembly row 72.Need to prove that each nozzle assembly 10 all is a dumb-bell shape, therefore, the nozzle 22 among the nozzle assembly row 72 is nested between the nozzle 22 and controller 28 of the adjacent nozzle assembly 10 among the nozzle assembly row 74.
And for the ease of packing the nozzle 22 among the nozzle assembly row 72 and 74 more compactly, each nozzle 22 all is hexagonal.
The people in the industry readily appreciates that, in actual use, when nozzle 22 when silicon chip 16 moves, because nozzle opening 24 has a low-angle with nozzle chambers 34, so ink offset from perpendicular slightly when ejection.And the design among Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 has overcome this problem.In above-mentioned two figure, the controller 28 of the nozzle assembly 10 among the nozzle assembly row 72 and 74 extends to a side of nozzle assembly row 72 and 74 along same direction.Therefore, the ink droplet of nozzle 22 ejections from nozzle assembly row 72 is parallel to each other with the ink droplet of nozzle 22 ejections from nozzle assembly row 74, thereby has improved print quality.
And as shown in Figure 5, silicon chip 16 has some adhesive pads 76, and these adhesive pads provide through the electrical connection of pad 56 to the controller 28 of nozzle assembly 10.These electrical connections form by cmos layer (not illustrating among the figure).
Please refer to an example of the present invention shown in Figure 7.Simultaneously with reference to preceding figure, the symbol in two drawings is corresponding mutually.
In this example, a nozzle guard cap 80 has been installed on the silicon chip 16 of nozzle array 14.Nozzle guard cap 80 has a main part 82, and this main part 82 has a plurality of passages 84.The nozzle opening 24 of the nozzle assembly 10 in passage 84 and the array 14 is corresponding, and when ink during from any one nozzle opening 24 ejection, ink droplet can be by corresponding passage 84 before getting to printed media.
Main part 82 has certain interval with nozzle assembly 10, by pole pillar 86 supports in other words.One of them pillar 86 has an air inlet openings 88.
In use, when array 14 work, air is inhaled into from air inlet openings 88, and passes through passage 84 with ink.
Because air is different with the speed of ink droplet 64 by the speed of passage 84, so ink droplet 64 can not be subjected to air influence.For example, ink droplet 64 is approximately 3 meter per seconds from the speed of nozzle 22 ejection, and the speed of air by passage 84 is approximately 1 meter per second.
The effect of air is to make passage 84 can not be mingled with foreign particles.If some foreign matter (for example dust granule) drops in the nozzle assembly 10, can produce harmful effect to nozzle.The mode that employing is supplied gas by air inlet openings 88 pressures of nozzle guard cap 80 can be avoided the problems referred to above to a great extent.
