Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a multi-consumable management method according to an embodiment of the present invention, where, as shown in fig. 1, the multi-consumable management method includes:
the execution main body of the embodiment of the invention is a multi-consumable management system, the controller of the multi-consumable management system is electrically connected with the material boxes, the number of the material boxes can be one or a plurality, the controller and the material boxes can be connected through a USB port or a Type-C interface, the controller determines whether the material boxes are connected according to signals at the interface, and the controller can specifically determine whether the material boxes are connected according to actual conditions, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited in particular.
In general, since the types of consumables that can be placed in one cartridge are limited, by connecting a plurality of cartridges to increase the types of consumables, for example, in the case where 4 types of consumables of colors can be placed in each cartridge, the consumable of 16 colors can be used by connecting 2 cartridges with the multi-consumable management system, and the more the number of cartridges connected thereto, the more colors can be used.
S110, judging and displaying the number of the material boxes, and detecting each material box;
each cartridge is checked to see if a preset signal can be detected in the cartridge. In the following, the detection of one of the cartridges is described as an example, and the detection process for each cartridge is the same.
Because the printing consumable has a plurality of manufacturers, consumable materials and models among different manufacturers may be different, in order to judge whether the consumable in the material box accords with the printing requirement of the target printer, detection of a preset signal needs to be carried out, and whether the preset signal can be detected on the consumable is judged. The detection method of the preset signal can be determined according to actual conditions, and the embodiment of the invention is not particularly limited.
In the embodiment of the invention, the detection of the preset signal is carried out on each material box, so that each consumable in the material box can be regarded as being detected, and whether the preset signal can be detected on the consumable is judged.
For example, in the embodiment of the present invention, a related signal transmitting component may be disposed on the consumable and used for transmitting a preset signal, where the signal transmitting component may be any component capable of transmitting an electrical signal, such as a bluetooth sensor, an NFC sensor, an RFID sensor, etc., and may be specifically determined according to practical situations, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
For example, the preset signal includes an RFID signal or an NFC signal. When the signal transmitting component is an RFID sensor, the preset signal is an RFID signal; when the signal transmitting component can be an NFC sensor, the preset signal is an NFC signal.
It should be noted that, the preset signal further includes related information of the consumable, such as a consumable brand, a consumable type, a consumable name, a consumable color, a consumable diameter, a consumable allowance, a consumable density, a consumable length, a printing temperature range, and the like, which may be specifically determined according to actual situations, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited in this particular aspect. The value of the preset range can be determined according to practical situations, which is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
S120, when a preset signal is detected, first preset parameter information of corresponding consumable materials is displayed based on the preset signal;
when a preset signal is detected in the material box, the material box is indicated that consumable materials are necessarily present, and first preset parameter information contained in the preset signal is read and displayed. For example, in the case where 4 consumables are placed in the cartridge, the 4 consumables respectively correspond to different display areas at the time of display; if no consumable is placed at the 1 st position and the 2 nd position, the first consumable and the second consumable are placed at the 3 rd position and the 4 th position respectively, and if preset signals are detected on the first consumable and the second consumable, relevant parameters of the consumable are displayed at the corresponding positions of the first consumable and the second consumable.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the value of the first preset parameter information may be determined according to an actual situation, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
For example, the first preset parameter information may include a reference number of the consumable, a consumable allowance, a material quality and a color, the reference number of the consumable indicates a position of the consumable in the cartridge, and the consumable allowance indicates a remaining amount of the consumable.
And S130, when the preset signals are not detected, respectively displaying second preset parameter information of corresponding consumable materials based on the first user instruction, or respectively displaying that consumable materials at corresponding positions are empty.
When the preset signal cannot be detected in the material box, two possibilities exist, namely, the material box is provided with consumable materials, and a signal sending component is not arranged on the consumable materials, so that the preset signal cannot be detected; the other is that the material box has no consumable, and a preset signal cannot be detected.
Therefore, before the step of displaying the second preset parameter information of the corresponding consumable based on the first user instruction, the method further includes:
judging whether consumable materials exist in the material box or not;
when it is determined that consumable materials exist in the material box, responding to second preset parameter information input in any one or more modes of voice input, manual selection or manual input of a user, and generating a first user instruction;
and when the fact that no consumable exists in the material box is determined, the second preset parameter information in the first user instruction is empty.
In the embodiment of the invention, whether consumable materials exist in the material box is judged first, the judging method can be determined according to actual conditions, and the embodiment of the invention is not particularly limited.
In some embodiments, the material box is provided with a material groove, a plurality of material grooves are arranged in the material box, a signal receiving component is arranged in a preset range of the material groove, and the detecting step for each material box comprises the following steps:
and detecting whether consumable materials on the corresponding trough have the preset signals or not through the signal receiving assembly.
In the embodiment of the invention, consumable materials are winding raw materials in a filament form, the consumable materials are wound on a material tray, the material tray is provided with the signal transmitting assembly, the material tray is arranged in a material groove of the material box, different consumable materials are wound on different material trays, and different material trays are respectively placed on different material grooves. And a signal receiving assembly is arranged in the preset range of each trough so as to ensure that the signal receiving assembly can receive preset signals sent by the corresponding trays.
For example, when the preset signal is an RFID signal, the signal receiving component is an RFID reading component, and when the preset signal is an NFC signal, the signal receiving component is an NFC reading component.
It should be noted that, the value of the preset range may be determined according to the actual situation, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
In some embodiments, the consumable sensor is disposed in the cartridge, and the step of determining whether the consumable is present in the cartridge includes:
and detecting whether consumable materials exist in the corresponding trough through the consumable material sensor.
In the embodiment of the invention, the consumable sensor is arranged in the material box, and can detect signals when a user inserts the material tray into the material groove. For each trough, if the consumable sensor detects a signal, the consumable in the trough can be judged to exist; if the consumable sensor does not detect a signal, it can be determined that no consumable is present in the trough.
After judging whether consumable materials exist in the material box, continuing to explain, under the condition that the consumable materials exist in the material box but a preset signal cannot be detected, the user can directly input second preset parameter information of the consumable materials because the information of the consumable materials cannot be read through the preset signal, and a first user instruction is generated based on the input second preset parameter information. The input mode of the consumable second preset parameter information can be voice input, can be manually selected from the existing parameters, can be directly and manually input, can be combined, can be determined according to actual conditions, and is not particularly limited.
And under the condition that no consumable exists in the material box, the user cannot input corresponding information, and the second preset parameter information in the first user instruction is set to be empty.
Therefore, when the preset signal is not detected, judgment is performed based on the first user instruction, if the first user instruction contains second preset parameter information, the second preset parameter information of the corresponding consumable is displayed, and if the first user instruction is empty, the consumable at the corresponding position is displayed to be empty.
According to the multi-consumable management method provided by the embodiment of the invention, after the number of connected material boxes is judged, each material box is detected, if a preset signal is detected in a certain material box, the material box is indicated that consumable materials are necessarily present, and first preset parameter information is displayed at the position corresponding to the consumable materials; when the preset signal is not detected, the material box may not have consumable, or may be a chip on which the preset signal cannot be generated, and when the consumable is in the material box but the chip is not in the material box, the first user instruction is received and the second preset parameter information of the consumable is extracted from the first user instruction, and when the consumable is not in the material box, the corresponding position of the consumable is directly displayed to be empty. The multi-consumable management method provided by the embodiment of the invention can visually display the number of the material boxes and the related information of the consumable in the material boxes, so that the use condition of the consumable in the material boxes is clear at a glance, the interaction process based on the consumable is optimized, and the user experience is improved.
In some embodiments, the first preset parameter information includes one or more of a reference number, a consumable allowance, a material quality, and a color of the corresponding consumable, and the displaying the first preset parameter information of the corresponding consumable includes:
displaying consumable allowance of the consumable in a display area corresponding to the consumable through the size of a preset graph;
displaying the color of the consumable material through the color of the preset graph;
and displaying the material of the consumable material by material abbreviation.
In the embodiment of the invention, the first preset parameter information comprises the label, the consumable allowance, the material quality and the color of the corresponding consumable, when the first preset parameter information of the consumable is displayed, the corresponding display area is found according to the material groove where the consumable is positioned, the display areas corresponding to the consumable on different material grooves are different, and the consumable allowance is displayed through the size of a preset image. For example, the consumable part margin may be displayed by a circle pattern, and the larger the consumable part margin is, the larger the circle pattern area is.
The color of the consumable can also be displayed by the color of the preset graph, for example, the consumable is yellow, and then the circle image is yellow. Consumable abbreviations can be marked on the display area to display the material of the consumable, such as PLA material and PETG material.
It should be noted that, the current printing consumable material can be displayed by the brightness of the preset pattern, if the first consumable material is used for current printing, the preset pattern of the display area corresponding to the first consumable material is bright, and the preset patterns in other display areas are dark; the consumable supplies can be distinguished in a dynamic mode and a static mode, for example, the preset image of the first consumable supply corresponding to the display area is dynamically rotated, the preset images in other display areas are static, and a user can know the consumable supplies which are currently used at a glance.
For example, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a multi-consumable display provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, the multi-consumable management system is connected to 4 cartridges, where the 4 cartridges are respectively distinguished by 1, 2, 3, and 4, and each cartridge has 4 material tanks respectively distinguished by ABCD. The right strip boxes sequentially represent 1, 2, 3 and 4 material boxes from top to bottom, the inverted triangle represents consumable materials in current printing, and the symbols in the strip boxes represent the states of consumable materials in each material groove in the material boxes.
As shown in fig. 2, the cartridge displayed on the current page is the 1 st cartridge, wherein the AB two tanks are empty, and "/" is used for indicating that the empty is formed, so that the following "… …" indicates that the material of the consumable cannot be known; consumable materials exist in the C trough, but because a preset signal cannot be detected, and the consumable materials in the C trough are not edited by a user, the consumable materials are in an intermediate state, and "? The lower pen-shaped icon represents that the material can be edited, and the C material groove can normally display the first preset parameter information of the consumable after the user edits; and D, consumable materials exist in the trough and a preset signal can be detected, a shadow part in the drawing represents consumable material allowance, PLA represents material, an eye image represents normal display, and the more the consumable material allowance is, the larger the shadow part is, the less the consumable material allowance is, and the less the shadow part is.
In some embodiments, the method further comprises:
judging and displaying the number of the material racks;
and displaying third preset parameter information of each material rack based on a second user instruction.
In the embodiment of the invention, the material rack is also displayed, and the material rack is generally not provided with a signal transmitting component, so that a preset signal cannot be detected under normal conditions, and therefore, the third preset parameter information in the second user instruction needs to be manually input, wherein the manual input mode can be voice input, manual selection, manual input or combination of the modes, and the method is particularly determined according to actual conditions. In the embodiment of the invention, the third preset parameter information in the second user instruction is manually input, and then the third preset parameter information in the second user instruction is read and displayed.
It should be noted that, the first preset parameter information, the second preset parameter information, and the third preset parameter information are all related systems of consumable materials, and the parameters included in the related systems may be the same or different.
