초록

A lumped model is proposed to predict liquid ejection characteristics of a thermally driven inkjet print head. The model is based on a two-dimensional heat conduction equation, an empirical pressure-temperature equation and a nonlinear hydraulic flow-pressure equation. It has been simulated through the construction of an equivalent R-C circuit, and subsequently analyzed using SIMULINK and a circuit simulation tool, PLECS. Using the model, heating and cooling characteristics of the head are predicted to be in agreement with the IR temperature measurements. The effects of the head geometry on the drop ejection are also analyzed using the nonlinear hydraulic model. The present model can be used as a design tool for a better design of thermal inkjet print heads.
