Abstract
The invention discloses a method of recycling ink-jet printer cartridge and the ink-jet printer cartridge recycled with the same. The method of recycling the ink-jet printer cartridge comprises the following steps: (1) dismounting a memory chip and disabling an original piezoelectric sensor; (2) mounting the substitute part for the piezoelectric sensor in the ink-jet printer cartridge and connecting corresponding circuits; and (3) mounting the memory chip in the ink-jet printer cartridge. The substitute part for the piezoelectric sensor can output a certain substitute signal according to the detection condition outputted by an ink-jet printer, wherein the substitute signal is equivalent to the oscillation frequency signal outputted by piezoelectric sensor when there is ink in the ink-jet printer cartridge. When receiving the substitute signal, the ink-jet printer continues to print if there is ink in the ink-jet printer cartridge, and when repeatedly receiving the stable false signal which is not consistent with the actual amount of the ink, the ink-jet printer manages the residual ink by using a control module, without affecting the use of the user.

Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of recovery method of ink-jet printer cartridge and use the recovery print cartridge that this method obtains.
Background technology
The injection of ink droplet is controlled in the record head utilization of ink-jet printer heat or vibration, when record head print cartridge ink inside deficiency, the state of being unable to supply ink carry out sky that the ink ejection operates down when beating, can break down.Therefore, in ink-jet printer, in order not make record head empty beating being taken place, needs to monitor the ink surplus in the print cartridge.
At present, common a kind of piezoelectric transducer of internal control module and print cartridge that utilizes is worked in coordination to detect the ink-jet printer of ink surplus.Wherein, ink-jet printer stores information such as predefined print cartridge model, color, and printer has a control module, is used for the various information that the managing printing process is produced, as date printed, number of copies, ink surplus, ink droplet calculating etc.; Then be fixed with storage chip and piezoelectric transducer on the supporting with it print cartridge, wherein memory chip stores relevant initial informations such as the model of print cartridge, ink color, ink capacity, thereby control print cartridge and printer mate; And the vibration signal frequency that piezoelectric transducer is produced when having or not ink in print cartridge is different, and during if any China ink, frequency is about 33KHZ, and when inkless, frequency can be judged the ink surplus about 100KHZ.Significantly, in print procedure, all there are information exchange (as Fig. 1) in printer and storage chip, printer and piezoelectric transducer.Simultaneously, because can there be certain error in piezoelectric transducer, usually can be or think that the residue of ink water yield is actual in the print cartridge and be that the actual quantity of ink of " sky " is stored in the storage chip as a corrected value with the error amount of piezoelectric transducer, i.e. control information.
Because printer is to move with the prerequisite that exists for of piezoelectric transducer, then when print cartridge is installed on the printer, after receiving the normal response message of print cartridge side pressure electric transducer and detecting successfully to the information of storage chip, printer can print.
In print procedure, control module in the printer can be sent to information such as the date printed that write down, ink surplus and preserve in the storage chip, and, control module can apply driving pulse to piezoelectric transducer in this process, it is vibrated, produce corresponding frequency of oscillation, being printed machine examination measures, because different frequencies of oscillation is represented quantity of ink information different in the print cartridge, when inkless, then printer just can be determined the ink surplus of print cartridge according to detected frequency of oscillation if any China ink.Send the frequency of oscillation of " ink uses up " when piezoelectric transducer, the control module of printer can read control information from storage chip, sprayable unnecessary quantity of ink and carry out this injection action when calculating reaches the true terminal point of ink, up to reaching the true terminal point of ink, this moment, printer can be pointed out user's ink surplus deficiency, needed to change print cartridge.
By the control procedure of above-mentioned ink surplus as can be known, piezoelectric transducer is the actual detected parts, it can point out " China ink will be use up ", the printer control module then is a management component, the information that piezoelectric transducer provides is analyzed, calculated to obtain the true terminal point of accurate ink, the ink residual volume is controlled to minimum.
But, there is such problem in this print cartridge: (1) pour water in the print cartridge manufacture process excessive velocities or variation of surrounding environment in transportation, all may produce too much bubble or make air bubble expansion, when bubble is adsorbed on piezoelectric transducer surperficial, this moment is if be installed in print cartridge in the printer, printer can be owing to the wrong responses information that receives from piezoelectric transducer makes a mistake the initialization process of printer, and print cartridge then can't continue to use; When (2) damaging for some reason as if the piezoelectric transducer in the print cartridge, entering the sensor container cavity as ink is short-circuited it, then this moment print cartridge is packed in the printer, printer can cause print cartridge can't continue to use owing to the wrong responses information that receives from piezoelectric transducer makes a mistake the initialization process of printer equally; (3) if in the print cartridge use because the atmosphere that enters by gas port can produce bubble and be adsorbed on the surface of piezoelectric transducer, then this moment piezoelectric transducer detection can become unstable, cause ink level to detect and make mistakes.
In addition, print cartridge is as the consumptive material of printer, and major part is dropped after using up, and the print cartridge that these abandon comprises parts such as plastics, film, rubber, chip, in the middle of major part all can not natural degradation, so not only can cause the wasting of resources, and can bring burden to environment.Along with the generally use of ink-jet printer, the consumption of print cartridge little by little increases, and is if the old print cartridge of sky is not reclaimed, then more and more serious to the pollution meeting of environment.Therefore,, reduce environmental pollution, should take to reclaim the measure of processing for resource is effectively reused.
But when reclaiming at the above-mentioned print cartridge that has storage chip and piezoelectric transducer, because described piezoelectric transducer is all had relatively high expectations to ink characteristics and filling process etc., as sensor surface bubble etc. can not be arranged, these all make the yield rate of regeneration print cartridge lower, difficult quality is stable, increases cost recovery.
Summary of the invention
