Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of piezoelectric jet valve technology, specifically a piezoelectric jet valve droplet observation experimental mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] A piezoelectric jet valve is a miniature jetting device based on the piezoelectric effect. Its main functions include high-precision fluid control and high-speed, non-contact dispensing. It achieves precise control of fluids (such as adhesives and inks) through the piezoelectric effect, producing tiny, uniform droplets to meet the needs of high-precision coating, dispensing, and printing. The working principle of the piezoelectric jet valve relies on the properties of piezoelectric materials. When the piezoelectric material is stimulated by voltage, it deforms, thereby changing the pressure, flow rate, or direction of the fluid. This non-contact dispensing technology can adapt to dispensing processes on various complex surfaces, featuring high speed, high precision, and high adaptability.
[0003] The droplet observation experiment using a piezoelectric jet valve is mainly used to study the formation, size, frequency, and morphology of droplets when liquid passes through the valve. The piezoelectric jet valve utilizes the piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric materials to convert electrical signals into mechanical motion, thereby propelling liquid through a nozzle to form tiny droplets. By observing and analyzing the droplet formation process, the influence of different parameters on droplet size, jet frequency, and jet stability is studied. Therefore, it is necessary to clamp and fix the piezoelectric jet valve and to use a camera to observe the droplets. This requires fixing the camera and precisely adjusting its position. To address this, a piezoelectric jet valve droplet observation experimental mechanism is proposed to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the observation. Utility Model Content

[0024] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.
[0025] like Figure 1 and 2As shown, a piezoelectric jet valve droplet observation experimental mechanism includes a base plate 1 and an observation device 2. The observation device 2 is disposed on the upper end of the base plate 1. A first support rod 3 is disposed on one side of the observation device 2 and is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base plate 1. A first connector 31 is bolted to the upper end of the first support rod 3. A first connecting rod 32 is disposed through the middle of the first connector 31 and is perpendicular to the first support rod 3. A second connector 33 is installed at the end of the first connecting rod 32 away from the first connector 31. A second connecting rod 34 is vertically arranged in the middle of the second connecting member 33. A miniature piezoelectric injection valve 35 is installed at the lower end of the second connecting rod 34. A material box 36 is connected to one side of the miniature piezoelectric injection valve 35. The first connecting member 31 and the second connecting member 33 are both installed by bolts, which can adjust the position of the miniature piezoelectric injection valve 35. A second support rod 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base plate 1. An LED fill light 41 is arranged in the middle of the second support rod 4. The LED fill light 41 is set towards the observation device 2 to provide illumination for the observation experiment.
[0026] The observation device 2 includes a Z-axis moving component 21, an X-axis moving component 22, a Y-axis moving component 23, a support plate 24, a mounting block 25, and a high-resolution area array camera 26. The Z-axis moving component 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the support plate 24, the X-axis moving component 22 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the support plate 24, the Y-axis moving component 23 is located below the X-axis moving component 22, and the mounting block 25 is fixedly connected to the side of the Z-axis moving component 21 away from the support plate 24. The high-resolution area array camera 26 is mounted on the other end of the mounting block 25, and one end of the high-resolution area array camera 26 is connected to a telecentric lens 261. The Z-axis moving component 21, the X-axis moving component 22, and the Y-axis moving component 23 are used to adjust the position of the high-resolution area array camera 26 on the Z-axis, X-axis, and Y-axis, respectively. The Z-axis moving component 21, the X-axis moving component 22, and the Y-axis moving component 23 have the same structure.
[0027] like Figure 3As shown, the Y-axis moving assembly 23 includes a lower fixed block 231 and an upper moving block 232. The lower end of the lower fixed block 231 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1. Multiple first slide rails 2311 are provided on the upper end of the lower fixed block 231, arranged in parallel. The upper moving block 232 is positioned above the lower fixed block 231 and slidably connected to it. Multiple second slide rails 2321 matching the first slide rails 2311 are provided on the lower end of the upper moving block 232. The first slide rails 2311 and second slide rails 2321 reduce the sliding resistance between the lower fixed block 231 and the upper moving block 232. An L-shaped block 233 is fixedly connected to one side of the upper moving block 232, and an L-shaped block 233 is fixedly connected to one side of the lower fixed block 231. A connecting block 234 is connected, and an adjusting handle 235 is fixedly connected to the middle of the connecting block 234. A push rod 236 is slidably connected to one end of the adjusting handle 235. A knob is set at the rear end of the adjusting handle 235, which can drive the push rod 236 to extend or retract. When the push rod 236 extends and abuts against the L-shaped block 233, it will push the upper moving block 232 to move. The Z-axis moving component 21, X-axis moving component 22 and Y-axis moving component 23 are used to adjust the position of the high-resolution area array camera 26 in this way, which facilitates precise correction of the screen position and the drop position, ensuring high controllability and accuracy of experiments and observations. In addition, the high-resolution area array camera 26 can be used with image measurement software to measure droplet diameter, droplet velocity, drop diameter, etc.
[0028] The upper moving block 232 has a connecting plate 237 at the end away from the L-shaped block 233. The connecting plate 237 has a slot in the middle and a locking bolt 238 on one side. One end of the locking bolt 238 passes through the slot and is threaded to the upper moving block 232. The lower end of the connecting plate 237 is threaded to the lower fixed block 231 by a bolt. When the high-resolution area array camera 26 is adjusted to a suitable position, the lower fixed block 231 and the upper moving block 232 can be fixed by tightening the locking bolt 238 to prevent the high-resolution area array camera 26 from moving during the experiment.
[0029] The principle of this invention is as follows: the position of the miniature piezoelectric jet valve 35 is adjusted by adjusting the first connecting member 31 and the second connecting member 33; the LED supplementary light 41 is turned on to provide illumination for the observation experiment; the relative position of the upper moving block 232 and the lower fixed block 231 is adjusted by rotating the knob on the adjusting handle 235; the lower fixed block 231 and the upper moving block 232 are locked by the locking bolt 238; the position of the high-resolution area array camera 26 is adjusted by the cooperation of the Z-axis moving component 21, the X-axis moving component 22 and the Y-axis moving component 23, so that the image of the droplet dripped by the miniature piezoelectric jet valve 35 by the high-resolution area array camera 26 is located in the center of the screen, and the droplet observation experiment can be started. The high-precision moving platform ensures the high controllability and accuracy of the experiment and observation.
