Description

The lower surface of the left end of the second lever 25 contacts the upper end face of the striker 3. The lower end of the striker 3, located in the receiving groove 21, penetrates into the glue outlet channel 42 of the glue inlet body 1 and... The nozzle 2 is used in conjunction with a guide sleeve 14 provided at the lower opening of the valve body 22 for the striker 3 to pass through.

[0028] A support column 26 is provided in the receiving groove 21 of the valve body 22 and below the left end of the first lever 23. A first spring 271 is provided between the support column 26 and the lower surface of the left end of the first lever 23. The lower end of a rotary screw 28 mounted on the valve body 22 contacts the upper surface of the left end of the first lever 23. The lower surface of the left end of the second lever 25 contacts the upper end face of the impact pin 3. The lower end of the impact pin 3, located in the receiving groove 21, passes through the glue outlet channel 42 of the glue inlet body 1 and cooperates with the nozzle 2. A guide sleeve 14 is provided at the lower opening of the valve body 22 for the impact pin 3 to pass through. The upper end of the impact pin 3 has a A flange portion 31 extends radially outward. A return spring 15 is provided between the lower end face of this flange portion 31 and the guide sleeve 14. A second spring 272 is fitted on the outer side of the return spring 15 and the guide sleeve 14. The second spring 272, which is coaxially arranged with the return spring 15, is located between the lower surface of the left end of the second lever 25 and the inner wall of the bottom of the receiving groove 21. The return spring 15 of the striker promotes the striker to quickly return to the raised state, so that a gap is formed between the striker and the nozzle, which facilitates the rapid entry of fluid. The return spring of the second lever (i.e., the second spring 272) promotes the rapid rebound of the lever after the piezoelectric ceramic shortens, which protects the piezoelectric ceramic and facilitates the rapid raising of the striker.

[0029] When the piezoelectric column 24 is energized, it expands downward to create a thrust on the right end of the second lever 25, causing the left end of the second lever 25, which rotates around the second protrusion 251, to push the striker 3 downward to strike the nozzle 2 and dispense glue. When the piezoelectric column 24 is de-energized, it retracts, and the nested reset spring 15 and the second spring 272 reset respectively, causing the striker 2 and the second lever 25 to return to their initial positions.

[0030] The surfaces that mate with each other between the first protrusion 231 and the first groove 232, the second protrusion 251 and the second groove 252, the third protrusion 241 and the third groove 242, and the fourth protrusion 243 and the fourth groove 244 are all arc surfaces.

[0031] The first protrusion 231 is formed on the upper surface of the right end of the first lever 23, and the first groove 232 into which the first protrusion 231 is inserted is opened on the inner wall of the receiving groove 21; the second groove 252 is opened on the lower surface of the right end of the second lever 25, and the second protrusion 251 is disposed on the inner wall of the receiving groove 21.

[0032] The third protrusion 241 is disposed on the upper end of the piezoelectric column 24, and the third groove 242 is formed on the lower surface of the first lever 23; the fourth protrusion 243 is integrally formed on the upper surface of the second lever 25, and the fourth groove 244 is formed on the lower end surface of the piezoelectric column 24.

[0033] In use, the glue enters the glue inlet channel on the glue inlet body and then enters the glue outlet channel. The lower end of the ejector pin, which cooperates with the nozzle, penetrates into the glue outlet channel. Through repeated impacts between the ejector pin and the nozzle, the glue in the glue outlet channel is sprayed out from the lower end of the nozzle to perform the dispensing operation. Specifically: after the piezoelectric column is energized, it expands downward to create a thrust on the right end of the second lever, which causes the left end of the second lever, which rotates around the second protrusion, to push the ejector pin downward to strike the nozzle and dispense glue. After the piezoelectric column is de-energized, it retracts, and the nested reset spring and the second spring reset respectively, so that the ejector pin and the second lever return to their initial positions. The excitation voltage of the piezoelectric column is a square wave. Therefore, the ejector pin performs high-speed reciprocating motion under the action of the piezoelectric column, so that the glue can be continuously sprayed out from the nozzle.

[0034] When the above-mentioned piezoelectric fluid jet valve is used, it can improve the stability of the second lever and the impact pin that moves with the second lever during repeated high-frequency movement, as well as the consistency of the dispensing gap formed between the impact pin and the nozzle and the impact force between them, thereby improving the dispensing accuracy and stability during long-term use.

[0035] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
