Definitions
- the present invention relates to a drop-on-demand (DOD) type ink jet head, and more particularly to a piezoelectric type ink jet head.
- DOD drop-on-demand
- inkjet printers are simple in principle and suitable for color printing.
- DOD type which ejects ink droplets only during dot formation, can be said to be the mainstream.
- DOD types include the Kaiser type disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 53-12138 and the thermal jet type disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 61-59914.
- the former has a very difficult problem of miniaturization, and the latter has a very difficult problem in that the ink burns due to the application of high heat to the ink.
- the pressure chamber la is formed by forming a groove in the piezoelectric substrate 1 and covering it with a flat upper lid 2.
- a drive electrode 4 is provided on the inner wall of the groove 1, and a voltage is applied to the partition wall lc, which is a part of the piezoelectric substrate 1, via the drive electrode 4 to deform the wall lc.
- the deformation reduces the volume of the pressure chamber la and pressurizes the ink filled therein, thereby discharging ink droplets provided corresponding to the pressure chamber and performing printing.
- an aqueous conductive ink is generally used.
- the drive electrode 4 and the ink are in direct contact and the adjacent drive electrodes are short-circuited, or the ink itself may cause electrolysis. Therefore, as a countermeasure, it is necessary to provide an insulating film 6 between the ink and the drive electrode as shown in FIG.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-252750 discloses a method of forming a conductive pattern on the upper surface of a piezoelectric substrate for wiring between a driving electrode and an IC (semiconductor integrated circuit) and from the IC to the outside. ing.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 182133/1992 also provides a shallow connection groove at the end of the groove of the pressure chamber on the extension thereof, and joins the electrode in the connection groove and the electrode of the circuit board having the drive circuit with a copper foil wire. The method is disclosed.
- the drive electrode 4 performs a mounting process for making an electrical connection with the IC or the copper foil wire or the like. Therefore, in the portion where the mounting process is performed, usually, the conductive surface of the drive electrode must be exposed.
- the insulating film 6 is formed so as to have a sufficiently strong adhesion to the drive electrode 4 for the purpose of preventing a short circuit due to the permeation of the ink. It is also very difficult to implement the method of peeling off. In addition, even if a structure in which the insulating film 6 is not formed partially is achieved, the penetration of ink into the interface between the insulating film and the drive electrode tends to occur starting from the end of the insulating film. This can lead to the problem of delamination.
- Piezoelectric materials are extremely vulnerable to acids and alkalis, and it is extremely difficult to etch and pattern metal thin films by photolithography.
- the copper foil wire must be extremely weak and thin, and may be deformed or damaged. Great nature. Furthermore, the number of copper foil wires used for one head is several tens to one hundred and several tens, and all these copper foil wires are aligned with the connection grooves provided on the piezoelectric substrate without being damaged, and joined. It requires great care and effort.
- the conventional shear mode type has the following problems when the pressure chamber is deformed.
- FIG. 19 is an exploded perspective view of an ink jet head using a shear mode, in which a large number of elongated grooves are formed in parallel on a piezoelectric body 28 such as PZT (lead zirconate titanate). Then, the upper surface of the partition walls 48ab, 48bc, etc., remaining between the grooves, glass, ceramic A lid 2 made of a material such as a mix or a plastic is flexibly bonded with an elastic member 3. As a result, the grooves become pressure chambers 38a, 38b, 38c filled with ink.
- a piezoelectric body 28 such as PZT (lead zirconate titanate).
- each of the pressure chambers 38a, 38b, and 38c is configured so that ink can be supplied by a common ink reservoir (not shown), and a nozzle plate 7 having a small nozzle 5 is bonded to the other end.
- the piezoelectric body 28 is polarized so as to be aligned in one direction (or in the opposite direction) as indicated by the arrow 8 including the partition walls 48ab and 48bc.
- Electrodes 18a, 18b, 18c and the like are formed on the inner surface of the groove.
- FIG. 16 is a cross-sectional structural view of the ink jet head using the shear mode when the head is not driven.
- the electric field lines 58ab in the partition 48ab and the polarization direction of the piezoelectric body are orthogonal to each other. This causes the shear mode to be deformed.
- the cross-sectional area of the pressure chamber 38b decreases from the initial state in FIG. 16 to that in FIG. That is, if the pressure chamber 38b is filled with ink, the pressure of the ink instantaneously rises due to the volume reduction of the groove, and the ink droplet is ejected from the nozzle.
- the electric field between the electrodes 18a and 18b on both sides of the partition wall 48ab be concentrated only in the partition wall 48ab.
- the electric field leaks into the part below the partition wall 48ab and the pressure chamber 38a, so that the electric field lines 68ab are generated.
- the electric field leaks into the part below the partition wall 48bc and the pressure chamber 38bc, and the electric field line 68bc is generated.
- the lines of electric force 68ab and 68bc are almost parallel to and in the same direction as the polarization direction of the piezoelectric body under the pressure chambers 38a and 38b. Deformation occurs, and the bottom of the pressure chamber 38b is lifted as indicated by the dashed line.
- the line of electric force 68ab and the polarization direction of the piezoelectric body are aligned.
- the directions are almost parallel and opposite to each other, and shrinkage deformation occurs in this direction, so that the bottom is depressed as shown by the dashed line.
- the present inventors measured the displacement of the partition wall 78a by laser measurement.
- a small mirror was adhered to the upper surface of the partition wall, and while changing the voltage applied to the electrodes on both sides of the partition wall, the amount of movement of the mirror was measured with the laser beam applied to the mirror, and converted to the amount of deformation of the partition wall Is what you do.
- the volume change of the pressure chamber 38b in FIG. 17 was considerably small, about 23, compared to the case of only the virtual shear mode. As a result, there is a problem that the ink ejection force is greatly reduced and the ink droplet ejection speed is reduced.
- An object of the present invention is to firstly solve the problem of the insulating film in the mounting processing section, and secondly to solve the problem of connection with the external circuit, thereby achieving high reliability, high performance and small size. Another purpose is to supply low-cost inkjet heads.

Various defects due to short circuits can be prevented, and the reliability of the head can be greatly improved.
- the periphery of the conductive particles is also electrically protected by the adhesive insulating member that constitutes the electrical bonding member, and the reliability of the conductive particles in terms of reliability is reduced. No problem.

By configuring, it can be suppressed.
- the direction of the lines of electric force at the bottom is oriented at a right angle to the slope and has a certain angle with respect to the polarization direction of the piezoelectric body.
- the lines of electric force are divided into a component perpendicular to the polarization direction and a component parallel to the polarization direction.
- the component in the perpendicular direction acts to cause a pure shear mode deformation, and the component in the parallel direction rotates. Trigger.
