    image 1 Technical sector:
    reproduction of designs or motifs on a surface, especially surfaces of objects, through the projection, ejection or deposition of fluids, especially fluids that contain high concentrations of solids and aims to solve the problems that currently have the decoration of objects, especially ceramic products such as tiles or tiles and / or glass, problems that are also transferable to other fields of application of high solids dispersions according to a certain pattern, design or motif. State of the art:
    There are numerous references in the state of the art to devices and methods of fluid deposition, for the reproduction of designs or motifs on a surface, by the projection, ejection or deposition of fluids, especially graphic printing inks.
    It is known the existence of different types of deposition devices according to their mode of action, so that it is usually distinguished between continuous mode ejection methods (ICJ, for its acronym in English Continuous Ink Jet), or by selective or low ejection demand (DOD, for its acronym in English Drop On Demand).
    Within the DOD category, several well-differentiated typologies are also known: thermal devices (TIJ, for its acronym in English Thermal Ink Jet), devices operated by Valves and devices activated by Piezoelectric actuators, so that only they generate drops when they want them to be injected onto the object or substrate.
    In these DOD devices, the droplet size can be very small (less than 80 picoliters, compared to 600 picoliters of CIJ technology), the place where the drops are deposited and the distance between the heads of the cells are perfectly controlled Different inks are reduced to a few centimeters. All this means that the print quality is optimal and that the four-color process can be worked without difficulty

    substrate or recirculated .. The high drop frequency of CIJ translates directly into high-speed printing capacity as evidenced by applications such as the coding date of beverage cans. An additional benefit of CIJ is the ejection speed (of the order of 25 m / s) which allows relatively (compared to other inkjet technologies) large distances between the print head and the substrate, which is useful in environments Industrial Finally, historically, CIJ has enjoyed an advantage over other inkjet technologies in its ability to use inks based on volatile solvents, allowing rapid drying that aids in adhesion on many substrates.
    However, it has numerous drawbacks, such as the large size of the drops produced, the difficulty of accurately depositing the drop at the required point of the substrate, the high distance between the heads of the different inks, etc., which translate into that the print quality obtained is low, often preventing work with four-color process. That is why its industrial application is reduced to industrial marking or the printing of documents in which a good quality of finish is not required and the perception that it is a dirty and unfriendly technology due to the use of fluids based on volatile solvents.
    Additionally, it has limitations associated with the requirement that the printed fluid has to be electrically chargeable, and the loss of solvent due to the continuous precise recirculation of measurements and corrections of density, viscosity and surface tension of the fluids.
    TIJ technology (also known as Bubble-Jet), is based on the sudden evaporation of small amounts of ink (micro-explosion), which cause a bubble, which pushes the ink out of the head, forming the corresponding drop that is deposited on the substrate to print. The main application is the printers for domestic use, because Piezoelectric technology (generally known as Piezoelectric Pressure Wave) is based on the application of an electric current to a piezoelectric that deforms causes a pressure wave (by a sharp reduction of the ejection chamber volume) that produces the ejection of the drops of ink projected on the substrate. The production achieved is very high, while the heads are reliable to work continuously for extended periods of time, so it has been this type of technology that has been implemented in industrial applications.

    Various types of piezoelectric deposition devices based on the
    way of deforming the actuator [Alex Grishin, Piezoelectric shear mode drop-on-demand inkjet actuator, Sensors and Actuators A 101 (2002), 371-382] and therefore creating the pressure wave, the most commonly used being compression (squeeze mode actuator), curved (bend mode actuator), piston (push mode inkjet actuator) and shear mode (shear mode actuator). Technical Problem
    As indicated in the introduction to the state of the art, DOD technology allows
    obtain solutions for ejection or deposition of fluids with a low droplet size
    (less than 80 picoliters, compared to 600 picoliters of CIJ technology), with high resolution and
    for fluids with very low viscosity at ejection temperature.
    Currently numerous new applications (digital enamelling, creation of 3D structures, encapsulated circuits, etc.), cannot be made due to the limitations of current technology or, where appropriate, must be made through multiple depositions with multiple devices in series which makes economically very expensive its application.
    For certain fluid formulations, especially those based on water, the deposition devices, currently on the market, present an additional insurmountable difficulty.

    exposed technician.
    Thus, the most recent patent, known by the applicant, for the resolution of the technical problem, is WO 2013/013983, which describes a device in which by means of the action of a plunger (between 3 and 5 mm in diameter, claim 14) from a means placed outside the supply channel, the ejection orifice is sealed, the supply channel being pressurized at a pressure lower than atmospheric.
    Said invention has the disadvantage of offering a low resolution and a high technical complexity regarding the sealing of the aforementioned pistons with respect to the supply chamber, the existence of springs, whose mechanical fatigue and response time can seriously limit the reliability of the device working at 1kH as claimed and the use of electromagnetic means for its operation, add additional complexity factors for its volume, thus, according to the description, drawings and claims, it seems clear that it does not allow to reach a resolution greater than 1 /3.3 points per centimeter.
    On the other hand WO 2010/146473, proposes a printhead, particularly suitable for viscous or particle-containing fluids, with multiple channels, whose operation of said device is controlled by a micro-electro-pneumatic circuit containing a micro-valve of 18 and a pneumatic regulating valve 23, to generate a control pressure Pc that drives a diaphragm 8 actuated by the control pressure Pc, controlling the discharge of fluid through the fluid outlet 6.
    Said invention thus offers a pneumatically controlled version of a device analogous to one of "piezo bend mode" technology by diaphragm, with the advantage that the pressure created in the chamber is greater than that achieved with a piezoelectric actuator, but which does not resolve the problem of mechanical resistance of said a first position in which said dispensing passage is closed and a second position in which said dispensing passage is connected to a source of said fluid under pressure, wherein said valve arrangement comprises a slide valve, said slide valve and said piezoelectric transducer is arranged such that for at least the initial displacement of the valve arrangement from said second position towards said first position, said sliding valve moves in a transverse direction to said first axis.

    One of the main problems that a device like the one described does not solve is that of possible seals due to the sliding of the dispensing valve on the surface that contains the nozzle, especially if the fluids to be dispensed are liquids with a high solid content. Another additional problem is that of being a large device given the transverse arrangement of the actuator and the length of said actuator.
    US 2009/0115816 and US 2005/084952 similarly claim, An inkjet printing element comprising a pressure ink chamber, at least one nozzle that is closed by a mobile valve body, and an element Piezoelectric actuation of the valve, which executing bending movements, in an alternative movement, and which is electrically connected to a control device. The flexure strip is bent in such a way that one end pulls on the side of the valve (ALL) that extends transversely to the reciprocating direction of the valve body (6), and a longitudinal section of the strip is perpendicular to the same. The end of the valve side of the flexure strip is attached, in a way that allows it to be displaced, to the valve body through a pull bar or through a cable that has an adjustment nut.
    Said devices are characterized by presenting an indirect action of the actuator on the closing or valve, whose closing position has to be secured by a spring and the communication between the pull-up bar or cable and the outside, presents seat problems, to provide a new piezoelectric transducer arrangement for fast and precise control of fluids under pressure, in a variety of different applications, such as computer printing, fluidics, etc. The piezo is isolated from the fluid used.

    US 4,450,375 claims a piezoelectric device for selectively dispensing the desired amounts of a fluid under pressure comprising: A). a valve body having a fluid chamber and inlet and outlet means that communicates with said chamber with said inlet means adapted to be connected to a source of said pressurized fluid; and B). fluid control valve means for controlling such fluid dispensing through said outlet means comprising: I). said body having at least one valve seat communicating with said outlet means; II). a deformable element mounted on the valve body which in cooperation with said valve seat effectively controls the communication with said outlet means around said valve seat and impact means directly coupled with the deformable member to selectively distort in said member of said valve seat to change the condition of said deformable member around said valve seat in order to establish or interrupt communication with said outlet means as desired; and C). bending deformable piezoelectric means (Bender) mounted on the valve body isolated from said fluid chamber and adapted to be electrically connected to a DC source .; said piezoelectric means includes a bending portion connected with said impact means to move it selectively with the energization or de-energization of said piezoelectric means by selectively distorting the deformable element without any of said impact means or said deformable piezoelectric Contact this fluid.

    multiple use or can be grouped in a comb-like configuration. A piezoelectric assembly (Bender) is provided that allows the force exerted on the percussion element by the free end of the bender to be adjusted and maintains the electrical isolation of the piezoelectric from one of the others. The assembly as it is installed provides an adjustable support point and a clamping member that cooperates with the support point for fixing the adjustment. The assembly keeps the free end of the piezo centered on the percussion element, and allows the initial deflection adjustment and also provides for the electrical connection of the piezoelectric with a fixed receptacle. When necessary, any difference in the thickness between the assembled benders and the receptacle can be corrected.
    As with the other disclosures described above, US 4,629,926 and US 4,450,375, do not solve the technical problem of working with very viscous fluids, with a high solids content, since the use of a deformable membrane and a deformation medium interposed (by impact with the piezoelectric) introduces a greater stress load for the actuator, especially for working at high frequency, in addition the high distance between the heads of the different inks due to the arrangement and size of the actuators makes its use virtually impossible , for the distance between heads of the different inks, when you want to obtain higher resolutions than the native one.
    However, US 4,629,926 is considered the closest document in the state of the art, with respect to the present invention.
    Thus, without solving the technical problem described, it is the object of the present invention to describe a device and method of deposition of droplets larger than 100 picoliters, and more preferably between 500 and 50,000 picoliters, of fluids with a high solids concentration and high viscosity at ejection temperature.

    It is also the object of the present invention to describe a method of deposition of large volumes of high viscosity fluids and / or containing high percentages of dispersed solids, and which must be applied to surfaces of objects, without contact and according to a particular pattern or design .
    Finally, it is an object of the present invention, to describe a machine that using said device and method, allows the deposition of large volumes of fluids, especially fluids containing solids, on object surfaces, such as the application of enamels and engobes in ceramic products, and other coatings (coatings) on metal, wood, cardboard and glass objects (not limited to) that require the deposition of large volumes of fluids or dispersions that must be carried out without contact and according to a particular pattern or design.

    control (7). Statement of an embodiment of the invention.
    For the realization of the present invention, there is a machined body with different cavities and holes (figure 4), which will constitute the body (10) of the device, and which contains a fluid inlet channel (8) and a channel of fluid outlet (9), a fluid supply channel (2), an actuator installation door or channel (16) and a rectangular opening made in the body of the device on an access face (11), which remains sealed with respect to the exterior by means of a closing plate (12).
    In communication with the fluid supply channel (2), accessible to the outside by one of its faces (11), a piece, sheet or plate (13) are arranged, in which a series of holes (5) have been made. which allow the passage of fluid outwards, towards a second piece, sheet or plate (14) containing machined or preformed, channels that extend to the lower edge of said piece, terminations that will constitute, once the assembly is closed with a new part, sheet or plate (15), the side closure (12) of the body
    (10) of the device (1).
    Said plate or sheet (14) containing the ejector channels (4), has a thickness equal to the width of the end of the channel, that is to say the cut that will constitute the ejection nozzle (3) after the assembly of the closure sheet (15), in case it is desired that said ejection nozzle be of square section.
    For the selective sealing of each of the passage holes (5), inside the body of the device, some shutters (21) are placed, preformed on flexible material into which a piezoelectric actuator (23) is inserted, constituting the called an actuator (22), the piezoelectric actuator assembly (23) plus the shutter (21) and the flexible material on which it is preformed and which houses the piezoelectric inside.

    width
    As an example. non-limiting, actuators of the following dimensions, expressed in millimeters, have been used:
    (l = 18) >> (a = 5) >>> (e = 0.75)
    For the correct operation of the device, "n" actuators (22), each provided with a shutter (21), are used for each of the "n" passage holes.
    The set of the "n" actuators constitutes the actuator glove (24), which houses and insulates the piezoelectric actuators inside it, and which, with its design, allows the closure of the actuator access channel (16) and faces to each of the “n” passage holes
    (5) with a shutter (21).
    In the described device, the "n" shutters are at rest in contact with the "n" passage holes, so that working the supply channel at a pressure (pc) greater than the atmospheric (pa) will not experience leakage of fluid or loss of this. Detailed statement of the preferred embodiment of the invention.
    The device object of the present invention has a body (10) with different holes and holes (Figure 4) that can be obtained, without limitation, by machining, casting, or extrusion, containing a fluid inlet channel (8 ) and a fluid outlet channel (9), a fluid supply channel (2), an actuator installation door or channel (16) and a rectangular opening in the device body on an access face (11 ), which is sealed with respect to the exterior by means of a closing plate (12).
    image44
    Said plate or sheet (14) containing the ejector channels (4), has a thickness equal to the width of the end of the channel, that is to say the cut that will constitute the ejection nozzle (3) after the assembly of the closure sheet (15), in case it is desired that said ejection nozzle be of square section.
    In a preferred embodiment, the closure plate (12) is a single piece, formed, not limitatively, by casting or injection, which contains all the passageways (5), ejection channels (4) and ejection nozzles (3). This preferred form has additional mounting advantages, as well as in the design of the ejection channels (4) and the ejection nozzles (2), the shapes of which may be other than channels or holes of rectangular or square section.
    For the selective sealing of each of the passage holes (5), inside the body of the device, some shutters (21) are placed, preformed on flexible material into which a piezoelectric actuator (23) is inserted, the assembly of piezoelectric actuator (23) plus the shutter (21) and the flexible material, on which it is preformed, and which inside houses the piezoelectric, constituting the so-called actuator (22).
    In a preferred embodiment, the portions of flexible material that cover each piezoelectric actuator (23) and isolate it from the fluid, and on which a plug (21) is preformed, that is, each actuator (22), are part of a single piece or glove of the actuators, which extends beyond these, covering and additionally insulating the control means (7).

    Thus, the set of the "n" actuators constitutes the glove of the "n" actuators (24), which houses the different "n" piezoelectric actuators (23) isolated, and is designed to face each of the "n" ”Passage holes (5) with one of the“ n ”shutters (21).
    In the described device, the "n" shutters are at rest in contact with the "n" passage holes (figures 8 and 9), so that the supply channel working at a pressure (pc) higher than atmospheric ( p) you will not experience fluid leakage or loss of it.
    Applied an external signal to the control means (7), these individually activate the piezoelectric actuators, releasing (corresponding figure 10) the corresponding passage orifices (5) of their shutters (21), producing the ejection of fluid through the nozzles Ejection selected.
    The method of operation of the device object of the present invention operates so that, receiving the signals from an external control device, these are processed by the control means of the device (7), which depending on these, will activate or not , applying or not applying a certain electric charge, on each of the “n” piezoelectric actuators (23), through the contacts of its electrodes (31), so that, if this activation is received, it will experience a deformation by bending in the direction of its greatest dimension (l), in a direction substantially perpendicular to it, and to the axis coinciding with the ejection direction (z), so that its displacement away the plug (21) from the passage hole (5) facing him, releasing the opening of the hole of

    In a preferred embodiment, the major surface (s) of the actuators are oriented in a plane parallel to the YZ plane, but aligned according to planes perpendicular to it, that is, parallel to the XZ, so that the actuator deformation is obtained according to the directions parallel to the axis (x).
    Figure 11 shows both possible orientations and the movements of the seal, according to the deformations experienced.
    The present invention describes its use in a Machine, so that said devices can be mounted in a machine, placed in any of the ways already provided in the patent of the applicant ES2302634 (Autonomous Inkjet Printing Module), this it is in one or several rows substantially perpendicular to the direction of advance of the object (fig. 1a and 2a of said patent) or with a certain degree of inclination (figure 1b and 2b of said patent) in which figure 1a . shows the schematic arrangement of devices, for single-pass printing of the required width, according to a configuration in which the printing width is increased while maintaining the native resolution of the device while Figure 1b, is a schematic view similar to Figure la, according to a configuration in which the print width and print resolution have been increased (by a factor equal to 1 / s α).
    On the other hand, figure 2a of the aforementioned patent ES'634 shows the structure of devices of figure 1a, repeated for each of the different inks (colors) used, arranged in different rows, and figure 2b is a similar view to that of figure 2a in which the heads are repeated for each of the different inks.
    In both cases different inks or fluids, or the same fluid, can be used, with which according to 2a and 2b the native resolution of the device could be quadrupled.
