[0002] The nozzle is the core part of the inkjet printer or dispensing machine, which accounts for the highest cost and the highest technical content. It is blank from research and development to manufacturing in China and completely depends on imports. However, the structure of foreign nozzles is complex and the preparation process is also very complicated. , the dependence on ultra-precision processing equipment is very strong, and the price of the nozzle is expensive; in addition, the output displacement and output force of foreign nozzles are low, and the scope of application of the nozzle is limited; and the parts of the nozzle are easy to wear and have a short life

[0003] Take the Epson piezoelectric nozzle as an example, such as figure 1 and figure 2 As shown, the nozzle plate and the ink chamber of the Epson piezoelectric nozzle are made of MEMS production technology, the structure and processing technology are complicated, the processing equipment is expensive, and the cost of the nozzle is high; the piezoelectric ceramic in the structure of the Epson piezoelectric nozzle is 1 micron thick The piezoelectric ceramic film is limited by the preparation process, and its own density is relatively low. When it is deformed by electricity, it will not produce a large output displacement, so that the output force is low, and the material of the Epson piezoelectric nozzle is mainly semiconductor silicon. , the silicon material has high rigidity, and the deformation range of the ink chamber is small, which further reduces the output force. Due to the decrease in the output force, the Epson piezoelectric nozzle is only suitable for home and office printing, not suitable for industrial ceramic inkjet printing or those that require high ejection force. Dispensing printing, etc.; the entire piezoelectric ceramic film of the Epson piezoelectric nozzle is bonded to the surface of the ink chamber substrate. When the piezoelectric ceramic film is deformed, it will cause deformation of the entire ink chamber, making parts such as the ink chamber easy to wear , short life
