Problems solved by technology

[0007] The most direct way to detect the state of micro-droplet ejection is through high-speed camera and image processing, but this method has disadvantages
On the one hand, high-speed cameras are very expensive; on the other hand, processing a large number of images is very time-consuming, which is far from achieving the purpose of real-time monitoring of injection status
While the EHD droplet jetting method can produce droplets with a diameter of tens of microns or even smaller, imaging requires a considerable magnification, and the field of view will be small, so clear and stable imaging is not easy, because some droplets may deviate from the vertical drop trajectory
In addition, imaging is done with a backlight configuration, placing the nozzle between the camera and the light source, and for very small droplets, the contrast between the droplet and the background is poor, making it difficult to extract the edge of the droplet

Embodiment Construction

[0037] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0038] The whole experimental setup includes a droplet ejection system and a detection system for EHD ejection instability caused by pulsating liquid supply. The droplet ejection system mainly includes a liquid supply module based on a syringe pump, a high-voltage power supply and a droplet collector.

[0039] The liquid supply module includes two parts, namely a syringe pump and a controller, wherein the syringe pump is composed of a syringe, a lead screw translation stage driven by a stepping motor, and a stepping driver. The controller adopts a single-chip microcomputer, which can generate pulse waves. Whenever the controller sends out a pulse wave, the stepping motor will rotate a specific angle in a predetermined direction. Generally, the step angle of the stepper motor is 1.8°, and 16 times of subdivision can be achieved through the drive unit. ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for detecting EHD injection instability caused by pulse liquid supply of an injection pump. A device for realizing the method comprises the injection pump, a controller, a nozzle, a collector, a scattered light collection and detection module and a data acquisition end, a laser of the scattered light collection and detection module emits light beams, and if it is observed that micro-droplets penetrate through the light beams, scattered light is generated at the moment. According to the detection method, data are collected through a photomultiplier tube, the amplitude ratio of frequency components of the data is calculated, and the EHD injection instability caused by pulse liquid supply of an injection pump is studied. Compared with a traditional high-speed camera shooting and image processing method, the method does not need a high-speed camera, so that the corresponding equipment cost is reduced, processing of a large number of images is avoided, the data processing time is shortened, and real-time detection is easier to achieve. Every time micro-droplets are sprayed out, the micro-droplets can penetrate through the laser beams, so that scattered light is generated, and detection and collection of the micro-droplets are more accurate.
