    摘要: A continuous liquid ejection system includes a substrate and an orifice plate affixed to the substrate. Portions of the substrate define a liquid chamber. The orifice plate includes a MEMS transducing member. A first portion of the MEMS transducing member is anchored to the substrate. A second portion of the MEMS transducing member extends over at least a portion of the liquid chamber and is free to move relative to the liquid chamber. A compliant membrane is positioned in contact with the MEMS transducing member. A first portion of the compliant membrane covers the MEMS transducing member and a second portion of the compliant membrane is anchored to the substrate. The compliant membrane includes an orifice. A liquid supply provides a liquid to the liquid chamber under a pressure sufficient to eject a continuous jet of the liquid through the orifice located in the compliant membrane of the orifice plate. The MEMS transducing member is selectively actuated to cause a portion of the compliant membrane to be displaced relative to the liquid chamber to cause a drop of liquid to break off from the liquid jet.

    摘要: An apparatus for a liquid drop emitter, especially for use in an ink jet printhead, is disclosed. A chamber filled with a liquid, a nozzle and a thermo-mechanical actuator, extending into the chamber from at least one wall of the chamber is disclosed. A movable element of the thermo-mechanical actuator is configured with a bending portion which bends when heated, the bending portion having at least one actuator opening for passage of the liquid. Apparatus is adapted to apply heat pulses to the bending portion resulting in rapid deflection of the movable element, ejection of a liquid drop, and passage of liquid through the at least one actuator opening. A movable element configured as a cantilever or as a beam extending from anchor walls of the chamber is disclosed. The thermo-mechanical actuator may be formed as a laminate structure including a layer constructed of a deflector material having a high coefficient of thermal expansion and that is electrically resistive, for example, titanium aluminide. Apparatus adapted to apply heat pulses comprising a resistive heater formed in the deflector material in the bending portion is also disclosed.

    摘要: An apparatus and method of operating a liquid drop emitter, such as an ink jet device, for emitting a series of liquid drops using reduced energy, is disclosed. The method is applicable to a drop emitter comprising a liquid-filled chamber having a nozzle and an actuator, such as a thermal actuator, for applying pressure to liquid at the nozzle. The actuator has a movable portion and exhibits damped resonant oscillation having a fundamental period, TR, and a damping time constant, TD. Apparatus adapted to cause rapid displacement of the movable portion of the actuator in response to electrical pulses causes drop ejection and damped resonant oscillation of the thermal actuator. The method of operating comprises applying electrical pulses having a nominal energy if the actuator is quiescent or applying reduced energy pulses to the actuator if it is usefully oscillating due to a previous drop emission. By advantageous use of resonant oscillations of the actuator, overall energy usage is reduced, and the productivity of the drop emitter is increased.
