Below lift a specific embodiment explanation the present invention.
When the imaging device is ink-jet printer, be EPSON R230 printer such as model, judge that the ink surplus deficiency of print cartridge just can only be that the sign recording material capacity information that reads corresponding memory chip stores is carried out.
And the ink-jet printer of some model judges that the ink surplus deficiency of print cartridge is not only to read the sign recording material capacity information of corresponding memory chip stores, and whether also detect print cartridge by sensor has ink remaining.After if this ink-jet printer and this storage chip carry out alternately, get access to the sign recording material capacity information that this storage chip stores and be designated as the ink surplus, but after detecting print cartridge and do not have ink remnants through sensor, this ink-jet printer will stop print job.For example, for the ink-jet printer of Epson certain model, the sign recording material capacity information indication that should detect memory chip stores has the ink surplus, and detecting print cartridge by sensor again has ink remaining, and this ink-jet printer just can use.
Similarly, also be like this when the imaging device is laser printer, the sign recording material capacity information indication that should detect memory chip stores has toner cartridge that the carbon dust surplus is arranged, and detecting by sensor again has remaining toner cartridge carbon dust in the toner cartridge, and this laser printer just can use.
Corresponding to the storage chip of the sensor print cartridge specific embodiment that resets
It is remaining that EPSON has a lot of print cartridges all to detect ink with piezoceramic transducer, as shown in Figure 7, Fig. 7 is the communication interaction schematic diagram between existing ink-jet printer, storage chip and the piezoelectric transducer module, on the basis of structure shown in Figure 1, for the ink surplus to print cartridge is measured, it is provided with again the piezoelectric transducer module in print cartridge, this piezoelectric transducer module is comprised of the cavity that is arranged in print cartridge and the piezoelectric ceramics that sticks at cavity.When the ink surplus of test in the print cartridge, the imaging device main body sends the DC pulse of high voltage to this piezoelectric transducer module, and this DC pulse can cause this piezoelectric transducer module to produce mechanical deformation, is equivalent to cavity has been knocked; Subsequently, the resonance that cavity will produce causes the vibration of piezoelectric ceramics, produces the frequency characteristic of corresponding voltage signal, is imaged the apparatus main body machine examination and measures.Because the frequency characteristic of different voltage signals represents the ink capacity information in the print cartridge, so the frequency characteristic of the voltage signal that the imaging device main body obtains according to detection just can be determined the ink surplus in the current print cartridge, remind the user of use in time to change print cartridge or be controlled to not reimaging of picture apparatus main body according to the result of the ink surplus deficiency of determining.
Adopt the present invention that the storage chip of this print cartridge is resetted and when in print cartridge, refilling ink, still can not imaging, this is because the imaging device main body does not detect print cartridge and extracts from the imaging device main body, namely the imaging device main body does not confirm that print cartridge and imaging device main body disconnect, think and do not change print cartridge, imaging device main body one judges straight through the pulse that the piezoelectric transducer module generates whether print cartridge is pulled out, thereby determines whether to have changed print cartridge.At this moment, just adopt structure shown in Figure 4, be broken into being connected between picture apparatus main body and the storage chip by the second key switch, so that the pulse that the imaging device subject detection sends less than the piezoelectric transducer module, namely imaging device is determined to disconnect between print cartridge and the imaging device main body through detecting, think that print cartridge extracts from the imaging device main body by mistake, again so that recovery controller storage chip is resetted.After finishing when resetting, send the terminating switch instruction by the second key switch, then revert to being connected between picture apparatus main body and the storage chip, and the sign recording material capacity information of storage chip also is reset full black amount information, then the imaging device main body thinks that the print cartridge of a new full China ink amount is replaced the imaging work of a beginning new round by mistake.
The above only is preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is in order to limit the present invention, within the spirit and principles in the present invention not all, any modification of making, is equal to replacement, improvement etc., all should be included within the scope of protection of the invention.
