The fracture of wire detection function of this patent is when the printed material in single head or two head printers structure occurs being broken or printed
The situation that material is finished, fracture of wire detection sensor (mechanical or photo-electric) triggering, control unit are detected simultaneously by the signal, temporarily
Ready preceding print state, and user's continued access printed material is prompted by output unit, after the completion of continued access, user can continue printing and work as
Preceding model.
Outage detection function is to work as the situation for the termination printing such as occurring powering off in print procedure, power failure detection circuit triggering,
Control unit is detected simultaneously by the signal, the energy stored using energy storage component (inductively or capacitively), will in a manner of interruption
Current print data rapid saving is into data storage, and changeable stand-by power supply short-duration power, and printhead is moved into peace
Then all positon automatically cuts off stand-by power supply in order to avoid damage printer model.When going up electric again, output unit (such as touch-screen) will
Prompt the user whether to continue and stamp time printer model.It needs to be determined that the reference zero position of printer, selection are continuous in open cycle system
After beating, power-off data storage is read, printing mechanism X-axis, Y-axis back to zero is anti-to determine X/Y plane internal reference dead-center position coordinate
Only larger printer model may collide and damage model with printing mechanism during Z axis back to zero, and this control system keeps Z axis to beat
It is motionless in the original location to print platform.Two head printers structure is different from single head printing mechanism, and two head printers structure also needs in continuous beat
Current printhead is accurately switched to printing head status during power-off.
As shown in Figure 6.In print procedure, this control system detects outage condition, after judging to confirm, will currently beat
Print status data is saved in data storage (such as EEPROM, Flash etc.), then switches to stand-by power supply and moves printhead
To home to prevent printhead damage model, then stand-by power supply is cut off, close system.
As shown in Figure 7.After re-powering, output display unit prompt the user whether it is continuous beat, selection is no, into normally beating
Bleeding off journey, selection are that data (such as mimeograph documents name letter preserved under last time outage condition is then read from data storage
Breath).In open-loop control system, printing mechanism X-axis, Y-axis needs back to zero, to determine X/Y plane internal reference dead-center position coordinate,
For the collision that prevents that printer model and printing mechanism may be caused during Z axis back to zero and damage model, this control system is by Z axis
Print platform is held in place putting, and then printhead is heated to target temperature, and printing mechanism, which is run at breakpoint, starts continuous beat.
