Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of high-voltage piezoelectric actuator manufacturing process, and more particularly to a high-voltage piezoelectric actuator manufacturing process. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, there are two main methods for fabricating high-voltage piezoelectric ceramic multilayer actuators:
[0003] Silver paste is printed between ceramic sheets, and multiple ceramic sheets are stacked and assembled. Then, the multi-layer ceramic sheets are tightly stacked and fixed by a silver firing process. The advantage of this method is that the process is simple and the cost is low. The disadvantage is that the silver paste layer is too thin and gaps are easily generated in the middle, which affects the energy conversion effect of the actuator and the service life.
[0004] Individual ceramic sheets are first made into piezoelectric ceramic sheets through silver printing, silver baking, and silver firing processes. A thin metal sheet (copper, stainless steel, or nickel alloy) is inserted between two piezoelectric ceramic sheets. The piezoelectric ceramic sheets and metal sheets are bonded and fixed together with high-temperature epoxy adhesive. Multiple layers of piezoelectric ceramic sheets and multiple layers of thin metal sheets are stacked alternately and assembled, and a high-temperature curing adhesive is used to achieve a tight stacking and fixation. The advantages of this method are good energy conversion efficiency of the actuator and a robust and reliable product. The disadvantages are that the process is complex, the addition of metal sheets leads to higher product costs, and the thin metal sheets increase the overall height of the actuator, affecting the extension ratio.
[0005] In summary, to address the technological shortcomings of the two mainstream high-voltage piezoelectric ceramic stacked actuators mentioned above, we propose a high-voltage piezoelectric actuator fabrication process. Summary of the Invention

[0048] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0049] 1. The manufacturing process of this piezoelectric actuator differs from conventional manufacturing processes in that end electrodes are printed at both ends of a single ceramic sheet. The end electrodes printed at both ends of the ceramic sheet are connected to the surface electrodes on both sides of the ceramic sheet, serving as the two poles of a single ceramic sheet. Thus, the end electrodes play the role of bringing out the surface electrodes that are hidden by multiple stacked ceramic sheets. This allows the stacked ceramic sheets to be connected in series via wires and then welded together with the end electrodes. The piezoelectric ceramic sheets are directly bonded and fixed with high-temperature epoxy adhesive.

[0052] In summary, this fabrication process does not require metal sheets, does not increase the overall height of the actuator, and does not affect the scaling ratio. It can ensure the energy conversion effect of the actuator, and the process is simple and low-cost. The end electrode printing equipment of this fabrication process can automatically and efficiently complete the end electrode printing of ceramic sheets, meeting the production needs of process innovation.

[0083] In S1, the binder is carboxymethyl cellulose, the lubricant is glycerin, and the mass ratio of powder, carboxymethyl cellulose, glycerin and deionized powder is 1.0:0.02~0.04:0.02~0.04:0.08~0.10.
[0084] The thickness of the extruded membrane strip in S2 is 0.15mm to 0.35mm;
[0085] The dimensions of the stamped part in S3 are: 19.2mm x 19.2mm;
[0086] The debinding temperature in S4 is 600℃, and the sintering temperature is 1230℃~1280℃;
[0087] In S5, clean the surface of the ceramic tile to remove the protective powder, and check whether the ceramic tile is intact, whether the thickness is uniform, and whether there are any discolored spots, etc.
[0088] In S6 and S8, the printed electrode material is silver paste with a solid content of 45% to 53%, and the electrode printing thickness is moderate.

[0098] The significant difference between the above-mentioned preparation process and existing commercially available processes lies in the location and method of printing silver paste onto individual ceramic sheets 6. The most notable difference is the printing of end electrodes onto the ceramic sheets 6, such as... Figures 8-10 As shown, the end electrodes printed at both ends of the ceramic sheet 6 are connected to the surface electrodes on both sides of the ceramic sheet 6 respectively, serving as the two poles of a single ceramic sheet 6. Thus, the end electrodes play the role of bringing out the surface electrodes that are hidden by the superposition of multiple sets of ceramic sheets 6, so that the superposition of ceramic sheets 6 can be connected in series by welding the end electrodes with wires later.
[0099] Considering the characteristics of the aforementioned preparation process, its production equipment is generally compatible with existing equipment. However, it requires specialized terminal electrode printing equipment to address the processing needs of this innovative process. Therefore, a high-voltage piezoelectric actuator terminal electrode printing device is proposed:
[0100] The terminal electrode printing equipment consists of a robot arm 3, a dipping mechanism 4, and a frame 5. The upstream of the robot arm 3 is a feeding conveyor 1, and the downstream of the robot arm 3 is a discharging conveyor 2.
[0101] The robotic arm 3 includes a turntable 301, a first motor 304, and a second motor 305. The turntable 301 is rotatably connected to the frame 5. The housing of the second motor 305 is connected to the bottom of the turntable 301, and the output shaft of the second motor 305 passes through the turntable 301. A coupling 306 is fixedly sleeved at the end of the output shaft of the second motor 305, and a material-receiving tee pipe 307 is coaxially connected to the top of the coupling 306. A suction cup 308 is sleeved at the top of the material-receiving tee pipe 307. Baffles 101 are provided on both sides of the discharge port of the feeding conveyor 1, and the discharge port of the feeding conveyor 1 is located at the bottom of the baffles 101. A spring sheet 102 is provided, with the end of the spring sheet 102 near the feed conveyor 1 slightly bent downwards and the end of the spring sheet 102 away from the feed conveyor 1 bent upwards. The two sets of stop bars 101 and spring sheets 102 are symmetrically arranged about the feed conveyor 1. Both ends of the turntable 301 are provided with bearing seats 302, and each bearing seat 302 is provided with a bearing 303. The bearing 303 located at one end of the first motor 304 is thin-walled. The housing of the first motor 304 is fixedly connected to the frame 5, and the output shaft of the first motor 304 passes through the frame 5, the bearing 303 and connects to the housing of the turntable 301.
[0102] like Figure 3 As shown, the ceramic sheet 6 needs to have one side of the surface electrode printed first, and then be fed into the device by the feeding conveyor 1. Under the action of inertia and the guidance of the stop bar 101, the ceramic sheet 6 slides along the upper surface of the spring sheet 102 until it is stopped by the bending of the end of the spring sheet 102. The first motor 304 drives the turntable 301 and the suction cup 308 to deflect to the vertical upward, so that the suction cup 308 is placed on the bottom surface of the ceramic sheet 6. The negative pressure makes the suction cup 308 firmly stick to the ceramic sheet 6. Then, it returns to the zero position directly under the drive of the first motor 304. The elastic deformation of the spring sheet 102 makes the suction cup 308 smoothly remove the ceramic sheet 6.
[0103] The dipping mechanism 4 is composed of a sliding cylinder 401 and a swing cylinder 402. The housing of the sliding cylinder 401 is fixedly connected to the frame 5, and the housing of the swing cylinder 402 is fixedly connected to the slider of the sliding cylinder 401. The output shaft of the swing cylinder 402 is connected to a material box 403 for temporarily dispersing silver paste. A feeding tee pipe 404 for feeding silver paste is connected to one side of the material box 403, and a cotton strip 405 for dipping is connected to the side of the material box 403 away from the feeding tee pipe 404.
[0104] like Figure 5As shown, when the robotic arm 3 picks up the ceramic sheet 6, driven by the first motor 304, one edge of the ceramic sheet 6 gently touches the cotton strip 405 once to dip in a layer of silver paste, initially forming an end electrode. The first motor 304 drives the ceramic sheet 6 to deflect upwards, and then the second motor 305 drives the ceramic sheet 6 to rotate 180 degrees, and the action of dipping in silver paste is repeated. After completion, the swing cylinder 402 drives the material box 403 and the cotton strip 405 to deflect away from the ceramic sheet 6. Then, the sliding cylinder 401 pushes the swing cylinder 402, material box 403, etc. away from the ceramic sheet 6. At this time, the silver paste feeder in the factory can replenish the silver paste into the material box 403 and the cotton strip 405 through the hose and the feeding tee 404 for the next dipping.
[0105] The feeding conveyor 1 and the dipping mechanism 4 are distributed on both sides of the robot arm 3, and the discharging conveyor 2 is located at the bottom of the robot arm 3. The feeding conveyor 1 and the discharging conveyor 2 are arranged in parallel to each other.
[0106] After the coating is completed, the first motor 304 drives the suction cup 308 and the ceramic sheet 6 with silver paste printed at both ends to deflect downwards and release the ceramic sheet 6 onto the discharge conveyor 2, which is then transported downstream to dry and print the electrode on the other side.
[0107] The two ends of the material feeding tee pipe 307 away from the suction cup 308 are connected, one end of which is used to connect to the negative pressure source, and the other end is sealed with the coupling 306. Two ends of the material feeding tee pipe 404 are connected to the two ends of the material box 403, and the other end of the material feeding tee pipe 404 is connected to the silver paste feeding equipment. The first motor 304 and the second motor 305 are both closed-loop stepper motors.
[0108] like Figure 7 The image shows the specific structure of the ceramic sheet 6, which includes a ceramic substrate 61, a silver layer 62 for end face electrodes, and an inner electrode 63 for the silver layer. A thin solder layer is adhered to the surface of the silver layer 62 for end face electrodes of the ceramic substrate 61, and the surface of the ceramic substrate 61 is the inner electrode 63 (surface electrode).
[0109] like Figure 9 As shown, the ceramic substrate 61 is stacked with leads connected as follows: one side is connected as the negative electrode 64, and the other side is connected as the positive electrode 65; the structure of a single product is: two approximately 1mm end face plates 66 + an 18mm effective ceramic plate 67 (e.g. Figure 10 ).
