具体实施方式Detailed ways
首先请参阅图2、图3,该二图分别表示本发明中第一实施例的上视图以及局部剖面图。如图2所示,在本实施例中的流体喷射装置5具有一第一压电构件51P,设置于流体喷射装置5的一外侧表面50,上述第一压电构件51P包括一对片状的第一压电体51RP以及第二压电体51LP,其中在第一、第二压电体51RP、51LP之间具有一喷孔53,上述喷孔53在X轴方向的宽度为L0,流体可通过一流体喷射致动器(未图标)驱动后,经由喷孔53喷出以形成喷射液滴。First, please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , which respectively represent a top view and a partial cross-sectional view of the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the
有关流体喷射装置5的详细结构请参阅图3,所述流体喷射装置5主要包括一变形机构51以及一基材52,其中变形机构51设置于基材52上,包括一第一压电构件51P以及一第一弹性构件51E。如前所述,第一压电构件51P包括第一、第二压电体51RP、51LP,其可采用锆钛酸铅(PZT)材质的压电材料;此外第一弹性构件51E则包括一第一弹性体51RE以及一第二弹性体51LE,其可采用高分子聚合物(polymer)材质。特别地是,在第一、第二弹性体51RE、51LE之间具有一流道54,上述流道54大致朝一第一轴向(Z轴方向)延伸,并穿过基材52与第一弹性构件51E进而和喷孔53相连接,其中第一、第二弹性体51RE、51LE构成上述流道54的部分内壁,且流体55可经由流道54末端的喷孔53喷出形成喷射液滴。Please refer to FIG. 3 for the detailed structure of the
在本实施例中,所述第一、第二压电体51RP、51LP的上、下表面涂有电极层(ELECTRODE),当第一、第二压电体51RP、51LP受到垂直方向(Z轴方向)的电场作用时,会于水平方向(X轴方向)产生膨胀或收缩变形,并可迫使位于第一、第二压电体51RP、51LP下方的第一、第二弹性体51RE、51LE产生变形。接着请参阅图4A,当第一、第二压电体51RP、51LP受到一电场作用而在一第二轴向(X轴方向)产生膨胀变形时,喷孔53的孔径由原先的宽度L0缩小为L1,同时由第一、第二弹性体51RE、51LE所构成的部分流道54内壁亦会随着第一、第二压电体51RP、51LP产生一线性变形(如图4A所示)。在此情况下,由于流体55受到喷孔53以及流道54缩减的影响,故可有效地降低喷射流量,同时增加流体55喷出后的飞行速度。In this embodiment, the upper and lower surfaces of the first and second piezoelectric bodies 51RP and 51LP are coated with electrode layers (ELECTRODE). When the first and second piezoelectric bodies 51RP and 51LP are subjected to When the electric field in the direction) acts, it will expand or contract in the horizontal direction (X-axis direction), and force the first and second elastic bodies 51RE, 51LE below the first and second piezoelectric bodies 51RP, 51LP to generate out of shape. Next, please refer to FIG. 4A. When the first and second piezoelectric bodies 51RP and 51LP are subjected to an electric field to expand and deform in a second axial direction (X-axis direction), the diameter of the
相反地,如图4B所示,当第一、第二压电体51RP、51LP于X轴方向产生收缩变形时,喷孔53的孔径则由原先的宽度L0增大为L2,同时由第一、第二弹性体51RE、51LE所构成的部分流道54内壁则朝外侧扩张。在此情况下,由于流体55受到喷孔53以及流道54增大的影响,故可有效地增加喷射流量,同时可降低流体55喷出后的飞行速度。Conversely, as shown in FIG. 4B, when the first and second piezoelectric bodies 51RP and 51LP shrink and deform in the X-axis direction, the aperture diameter of the
接着请参阅图5A以及图5B,当第一压电体51RP产生收缩变形且第二压电体51LP产生膨胀变形时,由第一、第二弹性体51RE、51LE所构成的部分流道54内壁朝右方偏斜(如图5A所示);反之,当第一压电体51RP产生膨胀变形而第二压电体51LP产生收缩变形时,由弹性体51RE、51LE所构成的部分流道54内壁则朝左方偏斜(如图5B所示)。5A and 5B, when the first piezoelectric body 51RP undergoes contraction deformation and the second piezoelectric body 51LP undergoes expansion deformation, the inner wall of part of the
如前所述,当第一、第二压电体51RP、51LP所受的电场方向相反而产生一膨胀一收缩的情况时,会改变流道54的方向与形状,同时喷孔53位置则会在X轴方向上产生适度的偏移。借由上述原理可用以控制并调整流体55的喷射角度,其中当第一、第二压电体51RP、51LP的变形量相等时,喷孔53的孔径可大致保持不变。As mentioned above, when the direction of the electric field received by the first and second piezoelectric bodies 51RP and 51LP is opposite to produce a situation of expansion and contraction, the direction and shape of the
再请参阅图6A,该图表示本发明中第二实施例的示意图。在本实施例中的流体喷射装置6包括一变形机构61、一基材62、多个喷孔63L、63R以及多个对应的流道64L、64R,其中变形机构61设置于基材62上,流道64L、64R依序穿过基材62与变形机构61,并分别连接所述喷孔63L、63R。如图所示,上述变形机构61包括一第一压电构件61P以及一第一弹性构件61E,其中第一压电构件61P包括片状的第一、第二、第三压电体61RP、61LP、61CP,第一弹性构件61E则包括第一、第二、第三弹性体61RE、61LE、61CE。Please refer to FIG. 6A again, which shows a schematic view of the second embodiment of the present invention. The
在图6A中,所述第一、第二、第三弹性体61RE、61LE、61CE分别设置于第一、第二、第三压电体61RP、61LP、61CP下方,其中第一、第二、第三压电体61RP、61LP、61CP的上、下表面涂有电极层(ELECTRODE)。特别地是,当第一、第二、第三压电体61RP、61LP、61CP受到垂直方向(Z轴方向)的电场作用时,会在水平方向(X轴方向)产生膨胀或收缩变形,进而可变化喷孔63L、63R以及流道64L、64R的形状。In FIG. 6A, the first, second, and third elastic bodies 61RE, 61LE, and 61CE are respectively arranged under the first, second, and third piezoelectric bodies 61RP, 61LP, and 61CP, wherein the first, second, and The upper and lower surfaces of the third piezoelectric bodies 61RP, 61LP, 61CP are coated with electrode layers (ELECTRODE). In particular, when the first, second, and third piezoelectric bodies 61RP, 61LP, and 61CP are subjected to an electric field in the vertical direction (Z-axis direction), they will expand or contract in the horizontal direction (X-axis direction), and then The shapes of the injection holes 63L, 63R and the
接着请参阅图6B,当第三压电体61CP与第三弹性体61CE在X轴方向上产生水平收缩变形时,右侧的第一压电体61RP与第一弹性体61RE对应地产生水平收缩变形,借此可使得喷孔63R的孔径增大以增加流体65的喷射流量;同时,位在左侧的第二压电体61LP与第二弹性体61LE对应地产生相同变形量的水平膨胀变形,借此可改变流体65由喷孔63L喷出的飞行方向。基于上述原理,本实施例可根据流体喷射装置当中两个以上的不同喷孔需求,适当地调整每个喷孔与流道的轮廓,借以有效地控制喷射流体的体积、飞行速度与飞行方向,至于其它类似的变化效果则不再赘述。Next, please refer to FIG. 6B. When the third piezoelectric body 61CP and the third elastic body 61CE produce horizontal contraction deformation in the X-axis direction, the first piezoelectric body 61RP on the right side and the first elastic body 61RE correspondingly produce horizontal contraction. deformation, whereby the diameter of the
