Correspond to the structure of ink-jet printer, each ink-jet box is provided with: the container electric contact be electrically connected with corresponding apparatus electrical contacts; At least store the information-storing device of this ink-jet box relevant information, wherein above-mentioned relevant information comprises print cartridge identifying information, and the identifying information of each print cartridge is not identical; Towards the light emission part of optical receiver luminescence and the control part of the above-mentioned smooth emission part luminescence of control, wherein, control part comprises Card read/write control unit and luminous controling unit, when the luminous instruction of light emission part luminescence receiving any one ink-jet box of the above-mentioned ink-jet box group of control that ink-jet printer sends, the light emission part that luminous controling unit controls this ink-jet box is luminous; And when receiving the print cartridge installation response instruction that ink-jet printer sends, Card read/write control unit then to judge in above-mentioned response instruction that print cartridge identifying information and the identifying information of self Shi Caihui that matches returns an answer signal in printer, namely respond, otherwise, without the need to response.In addition, above-mentioned smooth emission part both can send visible ray, also can send black light.
Obviously, according to above-mentioned print cartridges structure, the light emission part that the control part of each print cartridge can control on it when receiving the instruction of the light emission part luminescence on certain print cartridge of control that printer sends is luminous, namely when each printer sends the instruction of light emission part luminescence of certain print cartridge of control, light emission part on all print cartridges all can be lit, like this, even if the light quantity that the light emission part of certain print cartridge sends is less, under the light strengthening action of other print cartridge, also can ensure that it correctly can be identified by printer.
For describing clearly to technical scheme of the present invention, now the structure of the print cartridge in the embodiment of the present invention and print cartridge group is described.
In the present embodiment, " print cartridge group " refers to the combination being arranged on print cartridge dissimilar on same ink-jet printer, as different capabilities, different colours etc.Fig. 2 a is then the schematic appearance of print cartridge group.As shown in Figure 2 a, print cartridge group comprises a print cartridge A1, print cartridge B2, print cartridge C3, print cartridge D4, print cartridge E5.Above-mentioned print cartridge A and print cartridge B, C, D, E are only mutually different on the ink type stored, other is arranged, as internal structure etc., be all the same, in the present embodiment, print cartridge A ~ E carries out distinguishing according to loaded ink, that is, the structure about print cartridge A illustrates and may be used for print cartridge B, C, D, E, for this reason, only describe the structure of print cartridge A below in detail, the detailed description about print cartridge B, C, D, E will be removed.
In the present embodiment, print cartridge group is removably mounted on ink-jet printer.This ink-jet printer has the parts such as aforesaid balladeur train, optical receiver 6, several apparatus electrical contacts, fax wire 7 equally, and ditto described in, several apparatus electrical contacts is electrically connected with control circuit via fax wire 7, namely above-mentioned several apparatus electrical contacts is that conllinear connects, and fax wire 7 is equivalent to a bus.
As shown in Figure 2 b, in order to ensure print quality better, print cartridge A is also provided with store print cartridge relevant information and with the chip 8 of the intercommunication of printer.Particularly, chip substrate 81 comprises: container electric contact 82, be electrically connected to above-mentioned corresponding apparatus electrical contacts, thus print cartridge is connected with printer via apparatus electrical contacts, because above-mentioned several apparatus electrical contacts is that conllinear connects, that is, also be that conllinear is connected via respective container electric contact 82 with several print cartridges of above-mentioned several apparatus electrical contacts respectively, in addition, in the present embodiment, ink box chip is provided with 4 container electric contacts, and the signal that 4 container electric contacts are corresponding is respectively GND, Vcc, CLK, Data; Information-storing device, i.e. memory cell 83, store that print cartridge A is independent, relevant all information, comprising the color of the ink had in print cartridge A; Light emission part, can be luminous towards above-mentioned optical receiver, and particularly, in the present embodiment, it is LED; Control part 84, control part 84 comprises Read-write Catrol module 841 and light emitting control module 842, the instruction that can send according to printer and controlling above-mentioned information-storing device or light emission part.
As shown in Figure 2 a, in the present embodiment, what print cartridge A loaded is black ink, and what print cartridge B, C, D, E loaded is color inks, as the ink such as Indigo, carmetta.Consider that the consumption of black ink is larger, the size of print cartridge A is compared print cartridge B, C, D, E and is arranged larger, that is, print cartridge A can be arranged to different sizes according to different real needs from print cartridge B, C, D, E, but still has identical structure and outward appearance substantially.Those of ordinary skill in the art should be understood that the size of above-mentioned print cartridge A-E also can be arranged to formed objects.
Because several print cartridge is all via container electric contact, apparatus electrical contacts, fax wire 7 and being connected with the control circuit of printer, namely the equal conllinear of the chip of above-mentioned several print cartridge connects, that is, several control parts of above-mentioned print cartridge group are connected with above-mentioned control circuit via above-mentioned fax wire 7, the control part of each ink-jet box can receive all command informations that printer control circuit sends, the control part of each ink-jet box can receive that printer sends to the command information of the control light emission part luminescence of any one ink-jet box, when controlling the luminous instruction of light emission part luminescence of print cartridge B as sent when printer, print cartridge A, C, D, control part on E also can receive above-mentioned luminous instruction.
For printer, the installation testing process of print cartridge comprises two parts: (1) loads and judges the stage: according to whether receiving corresponding response, printer judges whether that all print cartridges have loaded in printer all by sending print cartridge installation response instruction successively, if, then carry out next stage, otherwise prompting user print cartridge does not load completely; (2) loading correctly judges the stage: after all print cartridges of confirmation load all completely, above-mentioned multiple smooth emission part (LED) is controlled successively by sending the luminous instruction of the light emission part luminescence controlling each print cartridge successively, to judge whether print cartridge is loaded in correct position according to received light quantity, wherein, above-mentioned print cartridge installation response instruction is generally made up of the identifying information of each print cartridge, luminous instruction is then general to be made up of the identifying information of print cartridge and the state control information of light emission part, obviously, installation response instruction and luminous instruction different.
Accordingly, in the present embodiment, each control part inside comprises: the Read-write Catrol module 841 of control chip read-write and the light emitting control module 842 of control light emission part luminescence.In general, the information-storing device of each print cartridge can store the identifying information of print cartridge.Accordingly, after print cartridge group is arranged on printer, when printer sends print cartridge installation response instruction, time the cognizance code only having identifying information and printer when certain print cartridge to send matches, the Read-write Catrol module 841 of this print cartridge just can return an answer signal to printer, and namely respond, then now printer can think that this print cartridge loads, otherwise nonreply signal returns printer, printer can think that this print cartridge does not load; And when printer sends print cartridge luminescence instruction, the light emission part that the light emitting control module of above-mentioned print cartridge then can control on it is luminous.
As previously mentioned, ink-jet printer inside is provided with and judges whether print cartridge loads and be arranged on the installation testing process of tram, namely, printer can detect each print cartridge one by one, and only when each print cartridge place obtains corresponding answer signal and optical receiver receives suitable light quantity, printer just can think that print cartridge has loaded and has been loaded in correct position, just can complete initialization process, otherwise printer can be pointed out and reported an error.Equally, as previously mentioned, the light emission part that there is print cartridge in prior art sends light in various degree and makes print cartridge obviously be arranged on the situation correct position being judged as setup error due to foozle.
In order to solve the problem existing for prior art, and meet the installation testing process of print cartridge, the present embodiment connects based on several smooth emission part conllinear and Read-write Catrol module and the separate situation of light emitting control module, propose: each print cartridge control part all can light the light emission part be positioned on each print cartridge above-mentioned after the luminous instruction receiving any one control light emission part luminescence that printer sends, namely the luminous instruction that tape/tube printer does not send makes for which print cartridge in print cartridge group, the light emission part that the light emitting control module of each print cartridge in above-mentioned print cartridge group all can control on it is luminous, the several smooth emission part of print cartridge group is namely made to be lit simultaneously or to extinguish.Its concrete being operating as: be positioned at each control part of different print cartridge when the luminous instruction receiving printer, ignore the print cartridge identifying information in its luminous instruction, the lighting or extinguish of direct control light emission part, that is, no matter when detecting which print cartridge, the several smooth emission part of above-mentioned several print cartridge all can be lighted simultaneously or is extinguished; Exactly, no matter when detecting which print cartridge, as long as each control part above-mentioned receives the luminous instruction that printer sends will light corresponding light emission part.That is, in the present embodiment, the light emitting control module of each print cartridge only needs to control light emission part print cartridge according to the light emission part state control information in luminous instruction, and the print cartridge identifying information ignored in luminous instruction, namely in the present embodiment, light emitting control module and Read-write Catrol module separate.
Obviously, when adopting above-mentioned smooth emission part light emitting control mode, only one-way communication is there is between light emitting control module and printer, namely light emitting control module can only accept the instruction of printer and control lighting/extinguishing of light emission part, without the need to returning relevant information to printer, and the action returning answer signal to printer is performed by above-mentioned Read-write Catrol module, as shown in Figure 5, is the communication scheme between the controller of the present embodiment and printer.In addition, Read-write Catrol module also can receive and respond the read write command that printer sends, and allows printer to carry out read-write operation to the chip of print cartridge.
In the present embodiment, above-mentioned print cartridge identifying information is for the ink of different colours that loads according to print cartridge and the color ID arranged.
As shown in Figure 3 a, the command information form of driving light emission part luminescence that printer control circuit sends is: color ID (or claiming type identification code) code+state (as ON, OFF, CALL etc.) code.Such as, suppose print cartridge A, B code black (K) and yellow print cartridge (Y) respectively, its code is 110,101 respectively, the code of ON, OFF is 000,100, then instruction " 110000 ", " 110100 ", " 101000 ", " 101100 " represent " print cartridge A is bright ", " print cartridge A goes out ", " print cartridge B is bright ", " print cartridge B goes out " respectively.As previously mentioned, in the present embodiment, the light emitting control module of above-mentioned control part ignores above-mentioned color ID code, that is, the light emitting control module of above-mentioned control part can not send response signal to control circuit, but Direct driver light emission part (LED) is luminous, the instruction that what no matter it received is " print cartridge A is bright ", still the instruction of " print cartridge B is bright ", in other words, in the present invention, light emitting control module understands information that printer control circuit sends as shown in Figure 3 b, ignore the color ID of its front three completely, the LED state code according to latter three is only needed to detect LED.In like manner, the mode controlling the extinguishing of light emission part is also similar.For this reason, after print cartridge adopts above-mentioned light-emitting control method, above-mentioned light emitting control module only needs the light emission part status information according to luminous instruction and lights/extinguish light emission part.But, if do not return answer signal to printer, then the control circuit of printer can think that print cartridge does not load and cannot complete initialization process, for this reason, in the technical program, Read-write Catrol module not only controls read-write operation in the chip read-write stage, also needs be responsible for the print cartridge installation response instruction according to printer at installation detection-phase and return answer signal to printer.
Fig. 4 a-4d is that in the present embodiment, print cartridge group carries out the schematic diagram detected of installing, and Fig. 6 is that in the present embodiment, print cartridge group carries out the flow chart detected of installing.
1, the print cartridge assembling comprising several print cartridge is loaded on ink-jet printer;
2, ink-jet printer sends the print cartridge installation response instruction for several print cartridge successively, then correspondingly, the Read-write Catrol module of above-mentioned several print cartridge returns answer signal to represent that it loads to printer successively, if certain response instruction does not obtain answer signal, then represent that certain print cartridge is not installed, printer stops detecting, and prompting user loads print cartridge;
3, after judging that all print cartridges load all, balladeur train, under the driving of printer motor, drives the print cartridge be located thereon to move around, and when moving to above-mentioned print cartridge A and optical receiver corresponding section, balladeur train stops mobile;
4, as shown in fig. 4 a, printer control circuit sends the luminous instruction controlling print cartridge A, then the light emitting control module of the control part of print cartridge A ~ E obtains above-mentioned luminous instruction via fax wire, and the light emission part directly controlling to be positioned at each print cartridge above-mentioned according to above-mentioned luminous instruction is luminous, in the present embodiment, light emission part is LED, as shown in Figure 4 b;
5, now, optical receiver judges whether to receive abundant light quantity, when the light quantity that optical receiver receives is greater than threshold value, namely control circuit judges that print cartridge A loads and loads on correct position, otherwise, if when optical receiver does not receive light or the light quantity that receives lower than threshold value, control circuit can think that print cartridge A does not load or loaded but is not positioned at correct position, prompting mistake, testing process stops;
6, then, as illustrated in fig. 4 c, it is corresponding with optical receiver that printer driver balladeur train moves forward to print cartridge B, when balladeur train moves to print cartridge B and optical receiver corresponding section, control circuit sends the luminous instruction controlling print cartridge B, similarly, print cartridge A, C, D, the light emitting control module of the control part of E obtains above-mentioned luminous instruction and directly controls the LED luminescence (as shown in figure 4d) being positioned at each print cartridge above-mentioned, when the light quantity that optical receiver receives is greater than threshold value, namely control circuit judges that print cartridge loads and is loaded on correct position, otherwise, then judge that print cartridge loads mistake,
7, repeat above-mentioned steps, be encased in after on correct position until detect that print cartridge C, D, E are all judged, testing process terminates.
Obviously, from above-mentioned implementation process, the luminous instruction that tape/tube printer does not send is that the LED of which print cartridge controlling print cartridge group is lighted/extinguished, several LED of above-mentioned print cartridge group all can be lit or extinguish, that is, the control part (light emitting control module) of each print cartridge of above-mentioned print cartridge group all can control respective light emission part luminescence respectively when receiving arbitrary luminous instruction that printer sends.Like this, carrying out in installation testing process, even if when the luminosity of certain LED is less, the scattered beam that can be sent by the LED of adjacent print cartridge carries out supplying to a certain degree, thus make it meet the light quantity threshold value required for detecting, and there will not be obviously to be arranged on correct position cause printer to judge because the light emission measure of LED is little print cartridge is not enclosed on correct position.
In sum, the installation of above-mentioned print cartridge detects stability to adopt technique scheme fully to ensure, the phenomenon that the installation preventing print cartridge from causing due to the foozle of LED detects mistake produces.
