[0002] A piezoelectric ceramic jet valve is a device for precisely controlling fluid jetting, using piezoelectric ceramic material as its core driving component. Utilizing the piezoelectric effect, when a voltage is applied to the piezoelectric ceramic material, it deforms. In the piezoelectric jet valve, a piezoelectric element is installed. When voltage is applied to the piezoelectric element, it deforms, causing a change in the size of the orifices or channels on it, resulting in a change in fluid pressure, and thus altering the fluid flow rate or direction.

The amplifier 501 is fixedly connected to the right side of the pad 506. The fixed pad 505 and the pad 506 form a flexible hinge structure and are installed on the amplifier. This design ensures that during the movement, the locking screw 504 passes through the main pad 503 and the piezoelectric ceramic 502 is flexibly fixed between the fixed pad 505 and the main pad 503 by tightening the amplifier 501. This ensures that the piezoelectric ceramic 502 is only subjected to vertical pressure at both ends, without lateral or torsional forces, thereby improving the overall stability and response speed.
