Abstract: A method for manufacturing an ejection head (10) or ejector suitable for ejecting in the form of droplets (16) a liquid (14) conveyed inside the ejection head (10), comprising a step of producing, from a silicon wafer, a nozzle plate (12) having at least one ejection nozzle (13); a step of producing, from another silicon wafer, a substrate (11) having at least one actuator (15) for activating the ejection of the droplets of liquid through the nozzle (13); and a step of joining the nozzle plate (12) and the substrate (11) together to form the ejection head, wherein this joining step comprises the production of a junction (25), made by means of the anodic bonding technology, between the substrate (11) and the nozzle plate (12), in such a way that, in the area of this junction (25), the ejection head (10) does not present structural discontinuities, and also possesses a resistance to chemical corrosion by the liquid (14) contained in the ejection head (10) at least equal to that of the silicon constituting both the substrate (11) and the nozzle plate (12). The method of the invention may be applied for manufacturing an ink jet printhead (110), having one or more nozzles (113a, 113b, etc.), which has the advantage, with respect to the known printheads, of also being suitable for working with special inks characterized by high level chemical aggressiveness. In general, the ejection head of the invention, thanks to its structure which is globally highly robust and also chemically inert in the area of the junction (25), can be used advantageously with various types of liquids, even with marked chemical aggressiveness, in different sectors of the art, for example for ejecting paints on various types of media, generally not paper, in the industrial marking sector; or for ejecting in a controlled way droplets of fuel, such as petrol, in an internal combustion engine.

Abstract: The head comprises a hollow body (21) carrying a series of capillary tubes (12) of rigid material, on to each of which is fixed a sleeve-type piezoelectric transducer (16). A resin (26) is injected into the hollow body so as to encase first portions of the transducers. A flexible printed circuit (28) is connected to another portion (26) of the transducers, the circuit having a series of pairs of conducting areas hot-soldered to two conducting terminals disposed on the outside surfaces of the transducers.The printed circuit (28) is fixed between the hollow body (21) and an intermediate block (35) which is closed by means of a sealing diaphragm (38), having a series of sleeves (40) which are a close fit on the ends of the capillary tubes remote from the nozzles. For manufacture of the head, the resin is injected by positioning the hollow body (21) in an apparatus comprising a support frame for the hollow body and a transverse member provided with a plurality of reference holes for receiving and precisely positioning the ends (13) of the capillary tubes (12) which carry the nozzles. The frame is provided with a series of seats for receiving the opposite ends of the capillary tubes. The seats are closed by a resilient strip having a series of holes which are a close fit on the portions of the transducers which are to remain free from the resin.

Abstract: Mounted within a substantially hollow supporting and containing housing are tubes which communicate at one end with an ink reservoir and whose opposite ends are aligned with respective ink discharge nozzles provided in a plate member which faces the printing surface in use. The plate is mounted on the housing so as not to touch the ends of the tubes and with the interposition of yieldable sealing members. The tubes are mounted in the housing with the aid of a positioning tool the shape of which reproduces essentially the shape of the plate. A resin is subsequently poured into the housing and, after hardening, constitutes an elastic mass for retaining the tubes in the housing.
