Specifically, the liquid level sensor 3 in this embodiment includes a high liquid level switch 3-1 and a low liquid level switch 3-2. With continued reference to fig. 1, the liquid level sensor 3 shown in fig. 1 has three conductive metal rods (probes) with different lengths, and since the ink is conductive, the detection of the resistance between the two long and short probes and the longest probe can determine whether the ink liquid level covers the probe, and the viscosity value can be determined only by determining the time difference from the liquid level to the low probe. The liquid level sensor 3 of the present invention is not limited to a sensor for detecting a high liquid level signal and a low liquid level signal, and may be a float switch having two sensing positions, or may be other types.
Preferably, the device for detecting the viscosity and the consumable additive amount of the ink-jet printer further comprises an evaluation device, wherein the evaluation device is electrically connected with the liquid level sensor 3 so as to count the liquid level change signal in the viscosity detection chamber 2 sensed by the liquid level sensor 3, and indirectly judge the viscosity value of the liquid in the viscosity detection chamber 2 according to the change condition of the time difference from the high-level probe/high-level (corresponding to the high-level switch 3-1) to the low-level probe/low-level (corresponding to the low-level switch 3-2) of the liquid level in the viscosity detection chamber 2. In this embodiment, the evaluation device is preferably a CPU.
Further, the sampling tube 8 of the viscosity detection device and the adding tube 9 of the consumable adding circuit are respectively communicated with the viscosity detection chamber (namely, the sampling tube 8 is taken as a path for injecting ink into the viscosity detection chamber 2, the adding tube 9 is taken as a path for injecting consumable into the viscosity detection chamber 2), and the sampling tube 8 and the adding tube 9 can be directly connected and communicated with the top, the side wall or the bottom of the viscosity detection chamber 2 through direct connection; or, the sampling tube 8 of the viscosity detection device and the adding tube 9 of the consumable material adding circuit are converged to the same pipeline and then are communicated with the viscosity detection chamber, and similarly, the same pipeline can be directly connected and communicated with the top, the side wall or the bottom of the viscosity detection chamber 2 through the same pipeline, as shown in fig. 1, in the embodiment, the sampling tube 8 and the adding tube 9 are converged to the same pipeline at the parallel connection interface 2-2, so that the pipeline is used as a path for injecting ink and/or consumable materials into the viscosity detection chamber 2.
In order to better understand the viscosity and consumable addition amount detection device of the ink-jet printer, the working method of the viscosity and consumable addition amount detection device of the ink-jet printer is explained in detail. The operation method of the ink jet printer viscosity and consumable addition amount detection apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to fig. 1.
Firstly, executing step S1, and judging whether the detection object is the viscosity of the ink jet printer or the addition amount of consumable materials;
next, if the detection target is the viscosity of the ink jet printer, step S2 is executed, in which the viscosity of the ink jet printer is detected only based on the viscosity of the ink jet printer and the viscosity detection device 100 in the consumable addition amount detection device (i.e., the participation of the consumable addition circuit 200 is not involved in the viscosity detection process).
For S2, specifically, the viscosity detecting device 100 is connected with a main ink pressure loop (i.e. the mixing cylinder 4) of the ink code spraying machine through the sampling interface 0 of the sampling tube 8, when the viscosity of the ink needs to be detected, the viscosity valve 1 is opened, the ink in the mixing cylinder 4 is injected into the viscosity detecting chamber 2, and when the ink to be detected is submerged and triggers the high liquid level of the liquid level sensor 3, the high liquid level switch 3-1 is closed; and closing the viscosity valve 1 later, stopping injecting ink into the viscosity detection chamber 2, slowly flowing the ink to be detected in the viscosity detection chamber 2 out through the throttling emptying pipe 2-4 at the bottom of the viscosity detection chamber, gradually reducing the liquid level in the viscosity detection chamber 2, turning off the high liquid level switch 3-1 from closed to open when the liquid level of the ink to be detected in the viscosity detection chamber 2 is lower than the high liquid level switch 3-1, starting timing by an evaluation device (preferably a CPU), wherein the timing is T1, gradually emptying the ink to be detected in the viscosity detection chamber 2 along with the gradual flow of the ink to be detected in the viscosity detection chamber 2, turning off the low liquid level switch 3-2 from closed to open when the liquid level is lower than the low liquid level, timing T2 by the CPU, and detecting the time duration delta T0 (delta T0=t2-T1) in proportion to the viscosity of the ink to be detected by repeated sampling, so that the viscosity change of the ink of the code spraying machine can be monitored in real time.
Then, executing step S3, if the detection object is the consumable addition amount and the consumable existence, detecting the consumable addition amount of the ink code spraying machine based on the viscosity detection device 100 and the consumable addition circuit 200 is needed (i.e. the consumable addition amount detection needs to involve the implementation of the viscosity detection device 100 and the consumable addition circuit 200 together); the detection of the consumable addition amount and the consumable existence of the ink jet printer is mainly based on the difference result between the time consumption of the process of filling or emptying the viscosity detection chamber 2 alone and the time consumption of filling or emptying the viscosity detection chamber 2 caused by adding a certain amount of consumable into the viscosity detection chamber 2 while filling or emptying the viscosity detection chamber 2, and the specific detection mode can be a mode one or a mode two (the recording time involved in the two modes is recorded by the CPU).
Mode one:

s32: opening the viscosity valve 1, closing the adding valve 6 and the adding pump 5, injecting ink into the viscosity detection chamber 2, closing the viscosity valve 1 after a first preset time is required to be closed after the liquid level in the viscosity detection chamber 2 is submerged and the high liquid level switch 3-1 of the liquid level sensor 3 is triggered to be closed (the first preset time is required to be determined according to actual application conditions), and recording the time t1 corresponding to the moment when the high liquid level switch 3-1 in the viscosity detection chamber 2 detects disconnection (the time is recorded by a CPU);
s33: after the time t1 is recorded, continuing to reach the corresponding time t2 for a second preset time (the second preset time depends on the actual application condition), opening an adding valve 6 and an adding pump 5, and injecting consumable materials with the duration deltat into the viscosity detection chamber 2; wherein the time deltat of the injection of the consumable is less than deltat (the specific deltat time depends on the actual application).
S34: in the time Δt of the consumable injection, if the high level switch 3-1 detects the on, the addition valve 6 and the addition pump 5 are closed, and the time is recorded as t3 (the time is recorded by the CPU here), and the consumable addition amount is recorded in time units as follows: t3-t2; if the low liquid level switch 3-2 detects the disconnection, the adding valve 6 and the adding pump 5 are closed, the consumable adding amount is recorded, and the consumable adding amount is recorded by marking in time units as follows: 0, judging that the consumable bottle 7 is empty, sending a notice for prompting replacement of the consumable bottle 7, and displaying prompt information or warning that the consumable bottle 7 is exhausted by the system;
s35: after the time deltat of consumable injection, the low liquid level switch 3-2 detects disconnection along with the time, the moment is recorded as T4, if T4-T1> deltaT, the addition amount of consumable is recorded by marking in time unit as follows: Δt, judging that consumable materials still exist in the consumable material bottle 7; if T4-T1 is less than or equal to deltaT, marking the addition amount of the recording consumable material by taking time as a unit as follows: and 0, judging that the consumable bottle 7 is empty, and sending a notification prompting replacement of the consumable bottle 7.
