The invention relates to devices for applying liquid droplets to a surface, such as paper, for recording on it with ink. $
A device is known for applying liquid droplets to a surface containing a liquid chamber with an outlet and a channel for supplying liquid, and a means for generating 10 periodically increasing the pressure of the liquid in the chamber, in which the liquid is ejected onto the paper in a series of droplets by applying electrical impulses to the means for periodically <5 to a dynamic increase in fluid pressure in the chamber [1].
However, as a result of the formation of liquid droplets of a relatively large size, and also due to the * high 20 operating speed of the recording mechanism and the inevitable swirl of the air flow at the recording surface, good recording quality is not ensured and gradation of the 25 resulting image is difficult.
The purpose of the invention is to reduce the spread of the torch and the size of the drops.
The specified goal is achieved by. that the device is equipped with a baffle installed in the liquid chamber 31) with a hole coaxial with its outlet, fixed to the liquid chamber with a pneumatic chamber and air supply means connected to the latter via the line, and an air humidifier is installed on said line.

A device for applying liquid droplets to a surface comprises a liquid chamber 1 connected by a channel 2 for supplying liquid to a supply tank 3 and provided with an outlet 4 and means for creating a periodic increase in the pressure of the liquid in the chamber 1, mounted on the liquid chamber 1, a pneumatic chamber 5, connected by highway 6 through an air humidifier 7 with air supply means 8 and provided with an outlet 9 located coaxially with the outlet 4 of the liquid chamber 1.
The liquid chamber 1 by means of the partition 10 is divided into outer 11 and inner 12 parts communicating with each other through an opening 13 in the partition 10, which is made coaxially with the outlet holes 4 and 9 of the liquid 1 and pneumatic 3 chambers, respectively. In addition, a hole 14 is made in the partition 10 connecting the outer part 11 of the liquid chamber 1 with the channel 2 for supplying liquid from the supply tank 3.
The means for creating a periodic increase in the pressure of the liquid in the chamber 1 is made in the form of membranes 15 and a piezoelectric crystal 16 fixed on its body, the membrane 15 adjoining the inner part 12 of the liquid chamber 1 in the enlarged part 17. In this case, the cross-sectional area of the outlet opening 4 of the liquid chamber 1 should be significantly less than the cross-sectional area of the enlarged part 17, its inner part 12, and slightly smaller than the cross-sectional area of the outlet 9 of the pneumatic chamber 5. For supplying control pulses to the crystal 16 and wires 18 are connected to the membrane 15.
The pneumatic chamber 5 includes an inlet channel 19 connecting it through the line 6 and an air humidifier 7 to the air supply means 8, an annular part 20 and a disk-shaped part 21, communicating with the atmosphere through the outlet 9. The height of the disk-shaped part 21 of the pneumatic chamber 5 must be significantly less than the height (size ^ dimension along the axis) of its annular part 20.
Instead of the axial direction (Fig. 1), the inlet channel 19 can be directed tangentially to the circumference of the annular part 20 of the pneumatic chamber 5 (Figs. 2 and 3).
The means 8 for supplying air to the pneumatic chamber 5 includes a pump • 22, to the outlet 23 of which an air filter is sequentially connected to filter out foreign particles and damp the pulsations of the air flow created by the pump 22, an air humidifier 7 to prevent drying of the liquid in the outlet 4 of the liquid chamber 1 and air pressure regulator 25, the latter being connected via line 26 to a supply tank 3. ·
The air humidifier 7 (Fig. 5) is made in the form of a container 27 partially filled with water and divided by a porous partition 28 into the inlet 29 and the outlet 30 of the chamber, the first of which is connected via line 31 to the air filter 24, and the second through line 32 to the inlet a channel 19 of the pneumatic chamber 5. To partially fill the tank 27 with water, a pipe 33 is connected to its side wall. '

To partially fill the tank 27 with water, a pipe 33 is also attached to its side wall.
A device for applying liquid droplets to a surface works as follows.
When a piezoelectric crystal 16 is excited by an electric pulse, the liquid from the inner part 12 of the liquid chamber 1 under the pressure of the membrane 15 is ejected through the hole 13 in the partition 10 into the outer part 11 of the chamber 1 and then through the outlet openings 4 and 9 to the recording surface. When the pulse supply is stopped, the direction of fluid flow in the hole 13 in the baffle 10 is reversed, and the liquid is sucked from the supply tank 3 through the channel 2 through the hole 14 in the baffle 10 and the outer part 11 into the inner part 12 of the liquid chamber {1].
At the same time, to the annular part 20 of the pneumatic chamber 5 from the air supply means 8 through the inlet channel 19, a constant air pressure flows, which diverges when passing through the annular part 20 of the pneumatic chamber 6 and converges when it enters the disk-shaped part 21 of the chamber 5, after which it exits through the outlet 8 at high speed.
The pressure of the supplied air is set so that the pressure in the annular part 20 of the pneumatic chamber 5 is equal to the pressure in the outlet 4 of the liquid chamber 1 • to ensure the suction of the liquid from the hole 4 with overcoming the surface tension and viscosity of the liquid, and so that the air velocity at the outlet of the outlet 9 was greater than the rate at which liquid is ejected from the outlet 4, which allows acceleration of the ejected liquid by air flow.
Since the liquid breaks up into a series of droplets of decreasing size during ejection, smaller droplets accelerate faster than larger droplets, as a result of which they reach the recording surface at essentially the same time.
When the inlet channel is tangent to the circumference of the annular part 20 of the pneumatic chamber 5 (FIGS. 2 and 3), a circular air flow is formed in the annular part of the chamber 5, shown by the arrow in FIG. 3. In the disk-shaped part 21 of the chamber 5, the air spirals radially inward to the outlet.
Due to the absence of an axial component in the spiral air flow in the disk-shaped part 21 of the pneumatic chamber 5, air from this part of the chamber 5 can be sucked through the outlet 4 into the outer part 11 and further into the inner part 12 of the liquid chamber 1, preventing receipt. satisfactory ejection of liquid.
To prevent such an introduction of air, the supply tank 3 for the liquid is connected via a line 26 to the air supply means, as a result of which excess pressure of air and, therefore, liquid is created in the supply tank 3. Due to this, the pressure of the liquid in the outlet 4 of the liquid chamber 1 increases, it is set manually by the regulator 25 so that it is equal to the air pressure in the disk-shaped part 21 of the pneumatic chamber 5.
The approximate sizes of the liquid 1 and pneumatic 5 chambers of the device, providing a high-speed laminar air flow at the outlet of the outlet 9 of the pneumatic chamber 5 at a supply pressure of 1001,000 mm of water column, may be the following: the outer diameter of the annular part 45 of the pneumatic chamber 5 - 20 mm; the width of the annular part 20 of the pneumatic chamber 5 (W) 1-4 mm, 1 the height of the annular part 20 of the pneumatic chamber 5 (D) 0.5-2 mm, * the height of the disk-shaped part 21 of the pneumatic : chamber 5 (t) 10-100 microns; the diameter of the outlet 4 of the liquid chamber 1-40 microns; the diameter of the outlet 9 of the pneumatic chamber 5 is 100-150 microns.
During pauses, when control pulses to the piezoelectric crystal 16 are not supplied, the surface of the liquid in the outlet 4 of the liquid chamber 1 may dry out, thereby increasing its viscosity. The humidifier 7 maintains its fluidity by moisturizing the air flow entering the pneumatic chamber 5.
Compressed air coming from the filter 24 into the inlet chamber 29 of the humidifier 7 (Fig. 5), is moistened when passing through a water-saturated porous partition 28 and leaves the outlet chamber 30.
In another structural embodiment of the humidifier 7 (Fig. 6), air enters from the filter 24 into the inlet (lower) chamber 29, passes through a porous septum 28 completely immersed in water, for example from glass or porcelain, and enters the water in the form of air bubbles, which float to the surface of the water. The next porous septum 34, mainly of fibrous material, absorbs spatter formed when air bubbles exit upward, but pass moistened air into the outlet (upper) chamber 30, from where it enters the pneumatic chamber 5 via line 32.
As a result of using the present invention, the capabilities of mechanisms for writing data to a surface, such as paper, in a dynamic mode are greatly expanded. This ensures good recording quality due to the receipt in the device of droplets of liquid of a reduced size.
