[0053] The adjustment module 1 includes a horizontal coordinate adjustment module 4 and a vertical coordinate adjustment module 5, respectively arranged in two mutually perpendicular directions on the outer peripheral surface of the nozzle 3. The horizontal coordinate adjustment module 4 is provided with a first thermal expansion member 6 and a first temperature adjustment module 7, and the vertical coordinate adjustment module 5 is provided with a second thermal expansion member 8 and a second temperature adjustment module 9. The first thermal expansion member 6 and the second thermal expansion member 8 are respectively in close contact with the nozzle 3. The adjustment module 1 is used to adjust the temperatures of the first thermal expansion member 6 and the second thermal expansion member 8 through the first temperature adjustment module 7 and the second temperature adjustment module 9, respectively, so that the thicknesses of the first thermal expansion member 6 and the second thermal expansion member 8 change respectively under the effect of thermal expansion and contraction, so as to drive the nozzle 3 to move the horizontal coordinate and the vertical coordinate, thereby adjusting the position of the nozzle 3;
[0054] The fixing module 2 is used to fix the position of the nozzle 3 after the nozzle 3 moves;
[0055] The image acquisition module is arranged opposite to the nozzle 3, and is used to photograph the nozzle 3 when the nozzle 3 is being spliced to obtain the position of the nozzle 3;
[0056] The control module is used to control the nozzle splicing adjustment device.
[0057] In specific applications, the adjustment module 1 refers to a component used to adjust the position of the nozzle 3, which can be specifically implemented by a horizontal coordinate adjustment module 4 and a vertical coordinate adjustment module 5. In the scheme, it is used to drive the nozzle 3 to move through temperature changes to solve the problem of poor accuracy. The fixing module 2 refers to a component used to fix the position of the nozzle 3, which can be specifically implemented by a limit structure or bolts. In the scheme, it is used to maintain the position stable after the nozzle 3 moves to prevent deviation. The nozzle 3 refers to the component that prints ink and is the object that needs to be adjusted in the scheme. The horizontal coordinate adjustment module 4 refers to a component arranged on one side of the nozzle 3, which specifically includes a first thermal expansion component 6 and a first temperature adjustment module 7. In the scheme, it is used to control the lateral movement of the nozzle 3. The vertical coordinate adjustment module 5 refers to a component arranged on the other side of the nozzle 3 adjacent to the horizontal coordinate adjustment module 4, which specifically includes a second thermal expansion component 8 and a second temperature adjustment module 9. In the scheme, it is used to control the vertical movement of the nozzle 3. The first thermal expansion component 6 refers to a component that can achieve thermal expansion and contraction, which can be specifically implemented by a metal with a high thermal expansion coefficient such as copper or aluminum. In the scheme, it drives the nozzle 3 to move laterally through thickness changes. The first temperature adjustment module 7 is a component used to adjust the temperature of the first thermal expansion element 6 and, in this solution, is used to precisely control temperature changes. The second thermal expansion element 8 is a component capable of thermal expansion and contraction. Specifically, it can be made of a metal with a high thermal expansion coefficient, such as copper or aluminum. In this solution, thickness changes drive the vertical movement of the nozzle 3. The second temperature adjustment module 9 is a component used to adjust the temperature of the second thermal expansion element 8 and, in this solution, is used to precisely control temperature changes. The image acquisition module is positioned opposite the nozzle 3 and is used to capture a position image of the nozzle 3 to obtain displacement information of the nozzle 3, thereby enabling precise adjustment during nozzle splicing. The control module is used to control the nozzle splicing adjustment device, namely, the image acquisition module and the adjustment module 1. The image acquisition module obtains the position information of the nozzle 3. The control module 1 adjusts the temperature to adjust the thickness of the thermal expansion elements (the first thermal expansion element 6 and the second thermal expansion element 8) under the effect of thermal expansion and contraction, causing a slight displacement of the nozzle 3 to adjust the position of the nozzle 3. This forms a closed-loop control system, replacing mechanical drive methods and improving adjustment accuracy and efficiency.
[0058] The adjustment module 1 adjusts the temperature of the first thermal expansion member 6 and the second thermal expansion member 8 through the first temperature adjustment module 7 and the second temperature adjustment module 9, respectively, causing the thickness to change under the effects of thermal expansion and contraction. The adjustment module drives the nozzle 3 to move in the horizontal and vertical coordinates, thereby adjusting the position of the nozzle 3. The fixing module 2 fixes the position of the nozzle 3 after it moves to avoid subsequent offset. This temperature-based method ensures accurate calculation and control of the change amount. Compared with the existing technology, which uses an adjustment screw or motor drive, the accuracy is limited by mechanical components and vibration affects the adjustment results. This solution adopts the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, has no mechanical moving parts, avoids vibration interference, and achieves more precise and efficient adjustment.
[0059] When the temperature of the thermal expansion member (the first thermal expansion member 6 and the second thermal expansion member 8) is adjusted to change the thickness, the change in thickness can be obtained by a preset thermal expansion and contraction calculation formula, wherein the thermal expansion and contraction calculation formula is specifically: ,in, is the change in length (or thickness), is the initial length (or initial thickness) of the thermal expansion component, is the thermal expansion coefficient of the thermal expansion component, By controlling the temperature of the thermal expansion member (the first thermal expansion member 6 and the second thermal expansion member 8) using the thermal expansion and contraction variation calculation formula, its thickness or length can be precisely controlled, thereby achieving micron-level or even nanometer-level displacement adjustment.
[0060] The nozzle splicing adjustment device provided in the present application adjusts the temperatures of the first thermal expansion member and the second thermal expansion member respectively through the adjustment module, so that the thicknesses of the first thermal expansion member and the second thermal expansion member change respectively under the thermal expansion and contraction effects, so as to drive the nozzle to move the horizontal coordinate and the vertical coordinate, thereby adjusting the position of the nozzle, solving the problems of poor adjustment accuracy and low adjustment efficiency in the existing nozzle splicing adjustment method, and realizing precise fine-tuning of the nozzle position through the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, thereby improving the adjustment efficiency during nozzle splicing.
[0061] Specifically, the first temperature regulating module 7 and the second temperature regulating module 9 are respectively provided with a temperature regulating unit and a temperature sensor, which are respectively recorded as a first temperature regulating unit 10, a second temperature regulating unit 11, a first temperature sensor 12 and a second temperature sensor 13; the first temperature regulating unit 10 is fixedly connected to the first thermal expansion member 6, and the second temperature regulating unit 11 is fixedly connected to the second thermal expansion member 8; the first temperature sensor 12 is fixedly connected to the first thermal expansion member 6, and the second temperature sensor 13 is fixedly connected to the second thermal expansion member 8;
[0062] The first temperature regulating unit 10 and the second temperature regulating unit 11 are used to regulate the temperatures of the first thermal expansion member 6 and the second thermal expansion member 8, respectively, so that the thicknesses of the first thermal expansion member 6 and the second thermal expansion member 8 change under the effects of thermal expansion and contraction, thereby adjusting the position of the nozzle 3;
[0063] The first temperature sensor 12 and the second temperature sensor 13 are used to obtain the temperatures of the first thermal expansion member 6 and the second thermal expansion member 8 respectively.
[0064] In specific applications, the first temperature adjustment module 7 and the second temperature adjustment module 9 are respectively provided with a temperature adjustment unit and a temperature sensor. The temperature adjustment unit can be implemented using a resistance wire (for heating) and a semiconductor refrigeration plate (or a water cooling system for cooling). The temperature adjustment unit (the first temperature adjustment unit 10 or the second temperature adjustment unit 11) is fixedly connected to the thermal expansion element (the first thermal expansion element 6 or the second thermal expansion element 8), allowing heat to be directly transferred. The temperature sensor (the first temperature sensor 12 or the second temperature sensor 13) is fixedly connected to the thermal expansion element (the first thermal expansion element 6 or the second thermal expansion element 8) to obtain temperature data in real time. Based on the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, the temperature adjustment unit controls the temperature of the thermal expansion element (the first thermal expansion element 6 or the second thermal expansion element 8), causing the thickness of the thermal expansion element (the first thermal expansion element 6 or the second thermal expansion element 8) to change. Temperature data feedback is used to adjust the temperature control operation, forming a closed-loop control system. Thus, the temperature of the thermal expansion member (the first thermal expansion member 6 or the second thermal expansion member 8) is precisely controlled, so that the thickness of the thermal expansion member (the first thermal expansion member 6 or the second thermal expansion member 8) changes under the thermal expansion and contraction effect to drive the nozzle 3 to move, thereby solving the problems of poor position adjustment accuracy and low efficiency of the nozzle 3.
[0065] Preferably, if Figure 1 As shown, the first temperature sensor 12 can be embedded in the first thermal expansion element 6, and the second temperature sensor 13 can be embedded in the second thermal expansion element 8, so as to obtain more accurate thermal expansion element temperatures.
[0066] Specifically, the fixing module 2 includes a base 14 and a limiting module 15; the adjusting module 1, the nozzle 3 and the limiting module 15 are arranged in the base 14, and the adjusting module 1 and the limiting module 15 are respectively fixedly connected to the base 14; the limiting module 15 is arranged on both sides of the outer peripheral surface of the nozzle 3 opposite to the horizontal coordinate adjusting module 4 and the vertical coordinate adjusting module 5;
[0067] The base 14 is used to fix the positions of the adjustment module 1, the nozzle 3 and the limit module 15;
[0068] The limiting module 15 is used to limit the movement range of the nozzle 3 and fix the position of the nozzle 3 after movement.
[0069] In specific applications, base 14 refers to a supporting structure, which can be implemented using a metal plate or plastic plate. Its function is to fix the limit module 15 and the nozzle 3 to enhance stability. Base 14 integrates the adjustment module 1, nozzle 3, and limit module 15 into one body, ensuring the stability of the overall structure. The limit modules 15 are arranged on the outer surface of the nozzle 3 on opposite sides of the horizontal and vertical adjustment modules 4 and 5. They cooperate with the horizontal and vertical adjustment modules 4 and 5 arranged on the outer surface of the nozzle 3 in two mutually perpendicular directions to limit the displacement range of the nozzle 3 and directly fix the position of the nozzle 3 after movement.
[0070] Specifically, the limiting module 15 includes a limiting spring 16 and a fixing bolt 17; the limiting spring 16 and the fixing bolt 17 are fixedly connected to the base 14 respectively;
[0071] The limit spring 16 is used to push the nozzle 3 so that the nozzle 3 is in close contact with the first thermal expansion member 6 and the second thermal expansion member 8 respectively, thereby limiting the movement range of the nozzle 3;
[0072] The fixing bolt 17 is used to fix the position of the nozzle head 3 after the nozzle head 3 moves.
[0073] In specific applications, the limit module 15 is a component used to limit the movement of the nozzle 3 and fix its position. Specifically, it can be implemented using a combination of a limit spring 16 and a fixing bolt 17. Its function is to provide thrust and lock the position to eliminate play. The limit spring 16 is an elastic element, specifically a coil spring or compression spring, which pushes the nozzle 3 into close contact with the thermal expansion elements (the first thermal expansion element 6 and the second thermal expansion element 8) to eliminate positional deviation. The fixing bolt 17 is a threaded fastener, specifically a screw or bolt, which locks the position of the nozzle 3 after movement to prevent displacement.
[0074] During nozzle adjustment, the retaining spring 16 continuously pushes the nozzle 3, ensuring seamless contact between the nozzle 3 and the first and second thermal expansion members 6 and 8, thereby eliminating any looseness. After the nozzle 3 is moved, the fixing bolt 17 is tightened to secure the nozzle 3, simplifying the locking process. The synergistic effect of the retaining spring 16 and fixing bolt 17 ensures that the nozzle 3 remains stably fixed in the desired position after adjustment.
[0075] Specifically, the regulating module is further provided with a heat insulating layer; the heat insulating layer includes a first heat insulating layer 18 and a second heat insulating layer 19; the first heat insulating layer 18 is located between the first temperature regulating unit 10 and the base 14, and the second heat insulating layer 19 is located between the second temperature regulating unit 11 and the base 14;
[0076] The heat insulating layer is used to isolate the base 14 from the influence of temperature changes caused by the temperature regulating unit.
[0077] In specific applications, an insulation layer is added to the adjustment module 1, the first insulation layer 18 is located between the first temperature adjustment unit 10 and the base 14, and the second insulation layer 19 is located between the second temperature adjustment unit 11 and the base 14; the insulation layer reduces heat transfer through physical isolation, maintains the temperature of the base 14 stable, and prevents the base 14 from deformation due to thermal expansion or contraction, making the position adjustment process of the nozzle 3 more reliable.
[0078] In an optional embodiment, a heat insulation layer may be provided between the heat expansion member (the first heat expansion member 6 or the second heat expansion member 8 ) and the nozzle 3 to ensure stable use of the nozzle 3 .
[0079] Specifically, the image acquisition module includes a visual feedback unit and an image processing unit;
[0080] The visual feedback unit is used to photograph the nozzle 3 to obtain an image of the nozzle 3;
[0081] The image processing unit is used to detect the position of the nozzle 3 based on the image.
[0082] In a specific application, the image acquisition module is arranged relative to the nozzle 3 and is used to capture the position of the nozzle 3. The image acquisition module includes a visual feedback unit and an image processing unit. The visual feedback unit includes a high-resolution camera, a microscope lens, a light source and other equipment, which can capture the micron-level displacement of the nozzle 3 and provide a basis for subsequent image processing and displacement adjustment. The image processing unit determines whether the displacement of the nozzle 3 has reached the target position based on the image captured by the visual feedback unit. The image processing unit includes an image processing algorithm and an FPGA. After acquiring the position image of the nozzle 3, the image processing unit calculates the position information of the nozzle 3 through the image processing algorithm, ROI extraction, sub-pixel positioning, coordinate transformation and other operations, and calculates the position deviation by comparing the position information with the target position. At the same time, the FPGA is used to accelerate the above image processing process and reduce latency. After obtaining the position deviation, the control module controls the adjustment module 1 to execute an action, so that the nozzle 3 gradually moves to the target position. This forms a closed-loop control system, replacing the mechanical drive method and improving the adjustment accuracy and efficiency.
[0083] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 The nozzle splicing adjustment method provided in the embodiment of the present application is applied to the nozzle splicing adjustment device described above to adjust the nozzle position when splicing the nozzles, including:
[0084] Step S101, obtaining the nozzle spacing and the nozzle hole spacing of the corresponding nozzle holes of the two nozzles to be spliced, and obtaining the nozzle standard spacing and nozzle hole standard spacing when the two nozzles to be spliced are correctly spliced;

[0088] The manufacturing method of the nozzle splicing adjustment device adjusts the temperatures of the first thermal expansion member and the second thermal expansion member respectively through the adjustment module, so that the thicknesses of the first thermal expansion member and the second thermal expansion member change respectively under the thermal expansion and contraction effects, so as to drive the nozzle to move the horizontal coordinate and the vertical coordinate, thereby adjusting the position of the nozzle, solving the problems of poor adjustment accuracy and low adjustment efficiency in the existing nozzle splicing adjustment method, and realizing precise fine-tuning of the nozzle position through the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, thereby improving the adjustment efficiency during nozzle splicing.
[0089] Specifically, in step S101, the nozzle spacing and the nozzle hole spacing of the corresponding nozzle holes in the two nozzles to be spliced are obtained through the image acquisition module, as well as the nozzle standard spacing and nozzle hole standard spacing between adjacent nozzles when the nozzles to be spliced are correctly spliced. Among them, the nozzle spacing refers to the distance between the nozzles to be spliced, the nozzle hole spacing refers to the distance between the corresponding nozzle holes on the nozzles to be spliced (that is, the two nozzle holes interpolated in the arrangement direction in the nozzles to be spliced), the nozzle standard spacing refers to the distance between the nozzles when they are correctly spliced, and the nozzle hole standard spacing refers to the distance between the nozzle holes when they are correctly spliced. Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 Schematic diagram of nozzle spacing and nozzle hole spacing, where x is the nozzle hole spacing, y is the nozzle spacing, rectangle a and rectangle b are nozzles, circle c and circle d are nozzle holes, and arrows indicate distance.
[0090] Specifically, in step S102, according to actual needs, one of the two nozzles to be spliced is set as a nozzle to be adjusted, which is used to move the nozzle position to complete nozzle splicing, and the other nozzle is set as a fixed nozzle, whose position remains fixed.
[0091] Specifically, in step S103, the first thermal expansion member adjustment temperature and the second thermal expansion member adjustment temperature are calculated based on the difference between the nozzle hole spacing and the standard nozzle hole spacing and the difference between the nozzle head spacing and the standard nozzle head spacing using a preset thermal expansion and contraction change calculation formula, including:
[0092] Calculate the difference between the nozzle spacing and the standard nozzle spacing to obtain the nozzle spacing deviation;
[0093] Calculate the difference between the nozzle hole spacing and the standard nozzle hole spacing to obtain the nozzle hole spacing deviation;
[0094] Through the preset thermal expansion and contraction change calculation formula, based on the nozzle spacing deviation and the nozzle hole spacing deviation, the second thermal expansion component adjustment temperature of the nozzle to be adjusted corresponding to the nozzle spacing deviation and the first thermal expansion component adjustment temperature of the nozzle to be adjusted corresponding to the nozzle hole spacing deviation are calculated.
[0095] In step S103, the difference between the nozzle spacing and the standard nozzle spacing, as well as the difference between the nozzle hole spacing and the standard nozzle hole spacing are calculated respectively, and the nozzle spacing deviation and the nozzle hole spacing deviation are calculated. Through the preset thermal expansion and contraction change calculation formula, according to the nozzle spacing deviation and the nozzle hole spacing deviation, the temperature change corresponding to the nozzle spacing deviation and the temperature change corresponding to the nozzle hole spacing deviation are calculated. Combined with the initial temperature of the first thermal expansion component of the nozzle to be adjusted and the initial temperature of the second thermal expansion component of the nozzle to be adjusted, the adjustment temperature of the second thermal expansion component of the nozzle to be adjusted corresponding to the nozzle spacing deviation and the adjustment temperature of the first thermal expansion component of the nozzle to be adjusted corresponding to the nozzle hole spacing deviation are calculated.
[0096] The preset calculation formula for the thermal expansion and contraction variation is as follows: , is the change in length (or thickness), is the initial length (or initial thickness) of the thermal expansion component, is the thermal expansion coefficient of the thermal expansion component, is the temperature change. By controlling the temperature of the thermal expansion elements (first and second thermal expansion elements) using the thermal expansion and contraction change calculation formula, their thickness or length can be precisely controlled, thereby achieving micron-level or even nanometer-level displacement adjustment.
[0097] In step S104, the temperature of the first thermal expansion member of the nozzle to be adjusted is adjusted to the first thermal expansion member adjustment temperature, and the temperature of the second thermal expansion member of the nozzle to be adjusted is adjusted to the second thermal expansion member adjustment temperature, so that the nozzle spacing after adjustment is equal to the standard nozzle spacing, and the nozzle hole spacing after adjustment is equal to the standard nozzle hole spacing, including:
[0098] Adjusting the temperature of the first thermal expansion member of the nozzle to be adjusted to the first thermal expansion member adjustment temperature, and adjusting the temperature of the second thermal expansion member of the nozzle to be adjusted to the second thermal expansion member adjustment temperature;
[0099] Obtain the adjusted nozzle spacing and the adjusted nozzle hole spacing;
[0100] Determine whether the difference between the adjusted nozzle spacing and the standard nozzle spacing and the difference between the adjusted nozzle hole spacing and the standard nozzle hole spacing are both equal to 0; if not, use the difference that is not equal to 0 as the corresponding deviation value and return to the step of calculating the adjustment temperature; if so, determine that the adjusted nozzle spacing is equal to the standard nozzle spacing and determine that the adjusted nozzle hole spacing is equal to the standard nozzle hole spacing.
[0101] In step S104, the first thermal expansion component of the nozzle to be adjusted is adjusted to the first thermal expansion component adjustment temperature, so that the thickness of the first thermal expansion component changes corresponding to the temperature difference, thereby driving the nozzle to move the horizontal coordinate, and the second thermal expansion component of the nozzle to be adjusted is adjusted to the second thermal expansion component adjustment temperature, so that the thickness of the second thermal expansion component changes corresponding to the temperature difference, thereby driving the nozzle to move the vertical coordinate.
[0102] Obtain the position of the nozzle to be adjusted after temperature adjustment, and obtain the adjusted nozzle spacing and the adjusted nozzle hole spacing from the nozzle to be spliced, and determine whether the difference between the adjusted nozzle spacing and the standard nozzle spacing and the difference between the adjusted nozzle hole spacing and the standard nozzle hole spacing are both equal to 0; when either the difference between the adjusted nozzle spacing and the standard nozzle spacing or the difference between the adjusted nozzle hole spacing and the standard nozzle hole spacing is not equal to 0, use the difference that is not equal to 0 as the corresponding deviation value (if the difference between the adjusted nozzle spacing and the standard nozzle spacing is not equal to 0, use the difference that is not equal to 0 as the nozzle spacing deviation; if the difference between the adjusted nozzle hole spacing and the standard nozzle hole spacing is not equal to 0, use the difference that is not equal to 0 as the nozzle hole spacing deviation; if both differences are not 0, use both differences as corresponding deviation values), and return to the step of calculating the adjustment temperature; if so, determine that the adjusted nozzle spacing is equal to the standard nozzle spacing and that the adjusted nozzle hole spacing is equal to the standard nozzle hole spacing.
[0103] In an optional embodiment, when the number of nozzles to be spliced is greater than 2, the nozzle spacing and the nozzle hole spacing of the corresponding nozzles of two adjacent nozzles can be obtained in turn, the adjustment temperature (the adjustment temperature of the first thermal expansion component and the adjustment temperature of the second thermal expansion component) can be calculated, and the temperature of the nozzle to be adjusted can be adjusted according to the adjustment temperature, so that the nozzle spacing of adjacent nozzles after adjustment is equal to the standard nozzle spacing, and the nozzle hole spacing of adjacent nozzles after adjustment is equal to the standard nozzle hole spacing, and then all nozzles to be spliced are traversed, and the nozzle whose position is first determined among all adjacent nozzles is used as the fixed nozzle, and the other nozzle among the adjacent nozzles is used as the nozzle to be adjusted, and the position of the nozzle to be adjusted is adjusted, and the nozzle hole spacing and nozzle spacing of all adjacent nozzles are adjusted to the standard nozzle hole spacing and standard nozzle spacing in turn to complete the nozzle splicing.
[0104] In step S104, after determining that the adjusted nozzle spacing is equal to the standard nozzle spacing and determining that the adjusted nozzle hole spacing is equal to the standard nozzle hole spacing, the method further includes:
[0105] The nozzle position of the nozzle to be adjusted is fixed by the fixing module.
[0106] In step S104, after the nozzle spacing and nozzle hole spacing are confirmed to be equal to the corresponding standard values (standard nozzle spacing and standard nozzle hole spacing), the fixing module is activated to lock the position of the nozzle to be adjusted. This utilizes the mechanical locking mechanism of the fixing module to eliminate the risk of movement at the moment the adjustment is completed, ensure the long-term stability of the position, avoid deviation due to external interference, and thus maintain high-precision splicing.
[0107] As can be seen from the above, the nozzle splicing adjustment method obtains the nozzle spacing and the nozzle hole spacing of the corresponding nozzle holes in the two nozzles to be spliced, and obtains the standard nozzle spacing and the standard nozzle hole spacing of the two nozzles to be spliced when they are correctly spliced. Through the preset thermal expansion and contraction change calculation formula, according to the difference between the nozzle hole spacing and the standard nozzle hole spacing and the difference between the nozzle spacing and the standard nozzle spacing, the first thermal expansion component adjustment temperature and the second thermal expansion component adjustment temperature are calculated, and one of the two nozzles to be spliced is set as the nozzle to be adjusted, and the temperature of the first thermal expansion component of the nozzle to be adjusted is adjusted to the first thermal expansion component adjustment temperature, and the temperature of the second thermal expansion component of the nozzle to be adjusted is adjusted to the second thermal expansion component adjustment temperature, so that the adjusted nozzle spacing is equal to the standard nozzle spacing, and the adjusted nozzle hole spacing is equal to the standard nozzle hole spacing, so as to solve the problems of poor adjustment accuracy and low adjustment efficiency in the existing nozzle splicing adjustment method, and realize precise fine-tuning of the nozzle position through the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, thereby improving the adjustment efficiency during nozzle splicing.
