[0056] The present invention provides a viscous ink printing method, which is applied to a viscous ink printing device.
[0057] See also Figure 1 In a first embodiment of the present invention, the viscous ink printing method comprises the following steps:
[0058] Step S10: obtaining the target area;
[0059] Step S20: calculating operating parameters according to the target area;
[0060] Step S30: adjusting the inkjet force applied by the first transducer 31 and the second transducer 32 to the nozzle 21 according to the operating parameters, so that the volume of the ink droplet is consistent with the target area.
[0061] See also Figure 5 The viscous ink printing device includes a nozzle 21 and a first transducer 31 and a second transducer 32 arranged on both sides of the nozzle 21 .
[0062] Based on the traditional piezoelectric ceramic extrusion inkjet printing technology, the pressure design usually satisfies the harmonic pressure curve. Therefore, in the high-viscosity inkjet printing process, the present application adjusts the ultrasonic frequency so that the acoustic radiation force generates a quasi-harmonic pressure curve, thereby ensuring that the ink droplet volume and speed remain stable during the printing process.
[0063] In the present invention, the difference frequency ultrasonic printing method requires the use of two different frequencies of acoustic radiation force coupling and irradiation to achieve quasi-harmonic pressure to print high-viscosity ink, that is, the nonlinear interference effect of sound waves with a certain frequency difference constrained in the confocal area is used to generate a modulated sound field in the confocal area.
[0064] In one embodiment, a greater acoustic radiation force can be achieved by increasing the ultrasonic power, such as increasing the ultrasonic sound pressure or sound intensity, irradiation time, etc., so as to eject the high-viscosity ink droplets out of the nozzle 21. However, the ultrasonic sound field has a large radiation range, and in order to avoid the divergence of the radiation force, it should be sufficient to reach the force size for squeezing the ink.
[0065] In another embodiment, the first transducer 31 and the second transducer 32 can be used to print high-viscosity ink by coupling and irradiating two acoustic radiation forces of different frequencies to achieve quasi-harmonic pressure. The nonlinear interference effect of acoustic waves with a certain frequency difference constrained in the confocal area is used to generate a modulated acoustic field in the confocal area. This can further reduce the size of the device and enable the integration of multiple nozzles 21.
[0066] Specifically, the transducer in the present application may be a piezoelectric transducer, which deforms under the action of an electric field through the characteristics of piezoelectric materials. Figure 6 For example, an ultrasonic transducer is formed by using the inverse piezoelectric effect of a piezoelectric crystal. The piezoelectric ceramic is made into a sheet and polarized, and a silver layer is coated on the upper and lower surfaces as electrodes. An electric field is applied between the piezoelectric sheets. The ultrasonic pulse is obtained by switching the electric field direction and the polarization direction at high frequency.
[0067] When the external electric field is in the same direction as the polarization direction, the polarization strength of the piezoelectric film is enhanced by the external electric field. The enhancement of the polarization strength causes the piezoelectric film along the polarization direction to produce tensile deformation; when the external electric field is in the opposite direction to the polarization direction, the polarization strength of the piezoelectric film is reduced by the reverse electric field, causing the piezoelectric film to produce compressive deformation along the polarization direction.
[0068] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 5The first transducer 31 and the second transducer 32 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the nozzle 21. To ensure the accuracy requirement, the first transducer 31 and the second transducer 32 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the nozzle 21 with the gravity direction as the symmetry axis.
[0069] When inkjet is being performed, the ink is ejected from the nozzle 21 and printed onto the surface of the substrate 40 to be processed to form circular ink drops. First, the target area corresponding to the ink drop is set according to the printing requirements, and the operating parameters corresponding to the first transducer 31 and the second transducer 32 are calculated according to the target area.
[0070] The first transducer 31 and the second transducer 32 are controlled to operate according to the operating parameters, thereby ensuring that ink droplets of the same size as the target area are printed.
[0071] In the design of the difference frequency ultrasonic radiation force field, this embodiment adopts an arc-shaped ultrasonic transducer, which is arranged by a staggered method to achieve a pair of ultrasonic waves or even multiple pairs of ultrasonic waves being emitted simultaneously.
[0072] The technical solution of the present invention realizes quasi-harmonic pressure to print high-viscosity ink by coupling and irradiating two acoustic radiation forces of different frequencies, that is, by cooperating with the first transducer 31 and the second transducer 32, the nonlinear interference effect of acoustic waves with a certain frequency difference constrained in the confocal area is utilized, and a modulated acoustic field is generated in the confocal area to drive ink droplets to be ejected from the nozzle 21. The influence of the environment and air pressure accuracy is avoided, thereby improving the volume accuracy of ink droplets when ejecting.
[0073] See also Figure 2 In the second embodiment of the present invention, step S30 includes:
[0074] Step S31: adjusting the first complex sound pressure amplitude applied by the first transducer 31 to the nozzle 21 and the second complex sound pressure amplitude applied by the second transducer 32 to the nozzle 21 according to the operating parameters;
[0075] Step S32: calculating the inkjet force according to the first complex sound pressure amplitude and the second complex sound pressure amplitude.
[0076] The ink ejection force exerted on the nozzle 21 by the first transducer 31 and the second transducer 32 is mainly composed of the first complex sound pressure amplitude and the second complex sound pressure amplitude.
[0077] The first complex sound pressure amplitude, the second complex sound pressure amplitude and the acoustic radiation force satisfy the following expression:
[0078] Expression 1: ;
[0079] Expression 2: ;
[0080] F n (r, t) is the acoustic radiation force, I n (r, t) is the sound intensity when the first transducer 31 and the second transducer 32 are in operation, I n,A (r) is the first complex sound pressure amplitude, I n,B (r) is the second complex sound pressure amplitude, is the central angular frequency of the first transducer 31, is the central angular frequency of the second transducer 32 , t is the time node for calculating the irradiation time, and r is the position coordinate of the first transducer 31 and / or the second transducer 32 .
[0081] According to Expression 2, at the first transducer 31 at the center angular frequency In operation, the second transducer 32 is at a center angular frequency It can be understood that during the operation of the first transducer 31 and the second transducer 32, the sound field generated in the interference region of the two sound beams includes not only the angular frequency and The sound field also includes Therefore, the sound intensity generated by the first transducer 31 and the second transducer 32 when they are in operation is calculated by Expression 2.
[0082] Since the sound energy of the high-frequency part is not within the low-frequency range, the influence of the high-frequency part on the modulated sound radiation force is removed.
[0083] Substituting the sound intensity into Expression 1, F n (r, t) is the acoustic radiation force, r is the position coordinate of the first transducer 31 and / or the second transducer 32, c is the sound propagation speed, α n is the sound absorption coefficient of the nth harmonic. Among them, the sound absorption coefficient has a power relationship with the frequency: , γ represents the sound absorption index, I n Indicates the sound intensity of the nth harmonic frequency.
[0084] The acoustic radiation forces applied to the nozzle 21 by the first transducer 31 and the second transducer 32 are calculated by Expression 1 and Expression 2.
[0085] During the printing process, under the action of the first transducer 31 and the second transducer 32, the high viscosity ink is made to have a vertical downward ink jet force by using the acoustic radiation force, which provides the effect of squeezing the ink downward. In addition, during the ultrasonic high viscosity printing process, the ink jet force mainly depends on the ultrasonic frequency, sound pressure or sound intensity, short pulse and irradiation time. Therefore, the operating parameters may also include, for example, adjusting parameters such as sound intensity, short pulse and irradiation time.
[0086] See also Figure 3 In the third embodiment of the present invention, step S32 includes:
[0087] Step S321: obtaining the gravity of the ink droplet in the nozzle 21;
[0088] Step S322: calculating the acoustic radiation force exerted by the first transducer 31 and the second transducer 32 on the nozzle 21 according to the first complex sound pressure amplitude and the second complex sound pressure amplitude;
[0089] Step S323: calculating the inkjet force according to the gravity and the acoustic radiation force.
[0090] For nozzles of different shapes and sizes, in order to further improve the area accuracy of printing after the ink droplets are squeezed out, the acoustic radiation force is also calculated in combination with the gravity of the ink droplets in this embodiment.
[0091] It is understandable that due to the different shapes and sizes of the nozzles 21, or even if the nozzles 21 of the same model are limited by their process limitations, their sizes may also be slightly different. Therefore, the gravity of the ink droplets stored in the nozzles 21 can also be calculated at the same time.
[0092] See also Figure 5 The nozzle 21 is gradually set along the gravity direction, and the top is connected to the needle tube. The needle tube needs to use a transducer to realize a vertical downward force according to the nozzle 21.
[0093] As an embodiment, in order to improve the printing efficiency, multiple nozzles 21 are provided to print simultaneously in this embodiment. In order to ensure the same printing effect, the ink jetting force of each nozzle 21 is adjusted independently according to the gravity of the ink droplets in different needle tubes and the corresponding acoustic radiation force, so that after each nozzle 21 prints, the ink droplets can meet the target area requirements. This avoids the problem of the size of the nozzle 21, which causes the ink droplets of different nozzles 21 to form different areas on the substrate 40 after printing.
[0094] When designing the size of the nozzle 21, the ultrasonic focusing height H can be designed according to the area range of the printing ink droplets. h At the same time, due to the falling speed of the ink droplets and the horizontal traveling speed, the spacing height L between the substrate 40 and the nozzle 21 needs to be controlled to obtain the printing spacing Δ.
[0095] For further analysis based on fluid mechanics simulation, please refer to Figure 7 , in order to design the maximum diameter d of the nozzle 21 and the length d of the nozzle 21 h , the minimum diameter d of the nozzle 21 o In this embodiment, d=0.5mm, d h =3mm, L is the half wavelength of ultrasound, do Design is carried out with = 50um as an example.
[0096] Specifically, step S321 includes:
[0097] Step S324: Obtain the diameter of the nozzle 21 and the density of the ink droplet;
[0098] Step S325: Calculate the gravity according to the diameter and the density.
[0099] The diameter d of the nozzle 21 is obtained by measurement, and the density ρ of the ink droplet is detected. The gravity, the acoustic radiation force, and the inkjet force satisfy the following expression:
[0100] Expression 3: ;
[0101] According to Expression 3, it can be deduced that , , .
[0102] Among them, F c is the inkjet force, F g is the gravity, F n is the acoustic radiation force, g is the acceleration due to gravity, g a is the acceleration of the ink droplet ejected from the nozzle 21, ρ is the density, δ is the surface tension of the ink droplet, d is the diameter, R is the diameter of the ink droplet, and V is the volume of the ink droplet.
[0103] By calculating the gravity F of the ink droplet in the nozzle 21 g , and combining it with the acoustic radiation force F applied to the nozzle 20 n to obtain a downward resultant force, that is, the inkjet force F c , where F c should be greater than the resistance F of the ink in the nozzle 20 f to enable the ejection of high-viscosity ink.
[0104] For high-viscosity ink, its Ohnesorge number: ; For traditional printers, the Z value of its low-viscosity ink is usually in a relatively small range, such as 0.1 < Z < 1, while for high-viscosity ink such as UV glue, the Z value is usually between 10 and 100. Therefore, in this embodiment, the operating parameters can also be adjusted according to the viscosity of different inks to ensure that the ink can be smoothly ejected from the nozzle 21.
[0105] Please refer to Figure 4 , in the fourth embodiment of the present invention, step S20 includes:
[0106] Step S21: Establish a mathematical model;
[0107] Step S22: detecting the current area of the ink droplet;
[0108] Step S23: comparing the current area with the target area;
[0109] Step S24: obtaining a plurality of comparison results, and generating a data set according to the plurality of comparison results;
[0110] Step S25: importing the above data set into the mathematical model to generate a corresponding characteristic function;
[0111] Step S26: Calculate the corresponding operating parameters according to the characteristic function and the target area.
[0112] In order to improve the degree of automation, the first transducer 31 and the second transducer 32 are debugged before they are put into operation.
[0113] By establishing a mathematical model, in this embodiment, the "random forest" mathematical model is taken as an example, the target area required for printing and the moving speed of the nozzle are imported, and the nozzle 21 is controlled to print. During the printing process, the ink droplets are photographed by a high-speed camera, and the contour and position of the ink droplets are obtained by image analysis, and the current area of the ink droplets after printing is calculated. After comparing the current area with the target area, the target area required for importing printing and the moving speed of the nozzle are adjusted. After repeating the above steps, multiple comparison results can be obtained, and the Canny algorithm is used for calculation to obtain the eigenvalue and characteristic function.
[0114] After debugging, the target area and moving speed are imported, and the corresponding operating parameters can be obtained through the mathematical model. When there are multiple nozzles 21, the ultrasonic waveforms of the first transducer 31 and the second transducer 32 corresponding to each nozzle 21 are synchronized by FPGA to achieve high-frequency printing.

Since the viscous ink printing device adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described one by one here.
