Detailed description of the invention
Understandable for enabling above-mentioned purpose of the present utility model, feature and advantage to become apparent from, below by specific embodiments and the drawings, this utility model is described further.
The shower nozzle of existing ink-jet printer (see Fig. 1, Fig. 2) uses driving chip to control, it would be desirable to high-voltage signal provide on piezoelectric ceramics or piezoelectric, produce deformation, ink droplet sprayed;System controls the signal of different spray nozzles, will obtain different printing curves.If owing to nozzle enters air, or due to reasons such as piezoelectric ceramics exceptions, cause ink droplet can not spray (see Fig. 3) smoothly, even if whole shower nozzle only one of which nozzle occurs abnormal, also whole picture will be impacted, and cause picture to scrap, produce loss.Simultaneously because cannot print continuously, production efficiency is caused to decline.
For the disconnected ink caused due to air resorption at nozzle, or because hardware fault is (as shape-changing material damages, ink dried blocking etc.), the change of electrical characteristics between two electrodes, the driving chip of this utility model design can be caused, the change of these electrical characteristics can be gathered, and feeding back to control system, control system, according to different electrical characteristics, finds some or certain some nozzles, can be by changing the disappearance controlling to avoid the occurrence of picture, it is to avoid loss.As it is shown in figure 1, injector electrode is a row, there is 128 or 256 even 2014 tunnels, between two adjacent nozzles, deformation can be produced, ink is extruded.And between every two path electrodes, will have specific electrical characteristics, such as capacitance.Therefore detect the electrical characteristics between adjacent two electrodes, can be used as examination criteria.
Inkjet printer head failure detector of the present utility model is as shown in Figure 4, in the driving circuit, between each two electrode, add testing circuit, testing circuit measures two interelectrode electrical characteristics signals, include but not limited to the signal characterizing shower nozzle state that the current value etc. during capacitance, drive waveforms, driving can be measured, and then judge the state in shower nozzle (nozzle, ink chamber etc.).
Above-mentioned testing circuit is integrated in driving chip, or realizes on circuit boards.Testing circuit can often between two-way (between each two electrode) do one, the quantity so needed is a lot, it would however also be possible to employ the mode of multiplexing, uses the mode of poll to realize, as it is shown in figure 5, use a testing circuit and multiple selection switch to realize.Testing circuit output signal, be converted to the signal such as analog voltage or electric current, or throughput turns to digital signal, carry out judging and analyzing for master control system (or claiming control system), and take corresponding countermeasure, include but not limited to drive ink feeding system to squeeze ink, change driving voltage and control amount out of ink and blotting power, avoid air to enter, or strengthen ink delivery pressure or send alarm etc., to avoid processing the loss brought not in time, human cost will be reduced and improve yield.Specifically, change the mode controlled and include: (1) shuts down, enter nozzle cleaning program.(2) remedying printing, for the nozzle that cannot dredge, location is also individually remedied the nozzle gone wrong, is compensated picture lack part by other normal nozzles.(3) shutdown sends alarm, and human intervention also solves problem.
Above-mentioned electrical characteristics include that piezoelectric or the capacitance of shape-changing material, drive waveforms are (after breaking down, due to electrical property change, cause drive waveforms also to produce corresponding change) and driving during current value etc., but being not limited to these electrical characteristics, any characteristic that can detect may be used to detection.Provide below two kinds of detection modes:
1) detection mode 1: detection two interelectrode capacitances, the capacitance of different conditions is different.By the change of capacitance, the state of shower nozzle can be obtained.
After resulting in blockage, suck air or ink change, two interelectrode capacitances therefore can be caused to change, therefore introduce capacitive detection circuit.8bit precision, 128 way switch can be used to control, each shower nozzle of cycle detection.Owing to detection influences whether print state in course of injection, therefore move to edge when shower nozzle, utilize and drive motor to slow down and shut down and idle print time of reversely accelerating is detected.1 second free time, detect speed 128Hz.The control system change by capacitance, can detect nozzle problem, can provide just for problem nozzle and drive signal, individually be carried out, it is to avoid waste ink droplet.
Fig. 6 show a kind of capacitive detection circuit, utilizes the time delay feature of electric capacity and resistance, when capacitance variations, time delay also changes, and drives signal by providing, it is judged that time delay and the time difference of driving signal, can obtain the change of time delay, thus judge capacitance whether with ideal value deviation.
2) detection mode 2: detection drives signal to electrode drive current, and shower nozzle state is different is different electric currents by reaction, can obtain the state of shower nozzle.
After resulting in blockage, due to change or the characteristic changing of piezoelectric ceramics of electric capacity, actuator drive current can change.By detecting the electric current of driver, condition of nozzles information can be obtained.
Above practical circuit is only for explanation, and this utility model is not limited to this several ways.Being illustrated in figure 7 a kind of current detection circuit, drive circuit passes through line driving pressure electric material, drives pipe to do mirror image in electric current, is sent in master control system, and electric current is detected by master control system, notes abnormalities, and processes.General driving tube current is the biggest, it is likely to be breached hundreds of milliampere, current detection circuit typically can not support the biggest electric current, therefore can be by (as shown in n:1 in figure) after driving tube current scale smaller, re-send in master control system, so testing circuit easily realizes, it is achieved cost is relatively low.
Detection scheme of the present utility model can be tabulated as follows, includes but not limited to content listed in following table.
This utility model can be additionally used in shower nozzle self-inspection, and whether can detect that shower nozzle dispatches from the factory is non-defective unit, accelerates detection speed and reduces testing cost.When dispatching from the factory, utilize detection device of the present utility model and detection method, the electrical characteristics of nozzle piezoelectric ceramics and electrode can be checked, it is judged that whether nozzle is processed normally, when electrical characteristics exception, it is believed that shower nozzle is defective, be one quickly, detection mode easily.And existing traditional method needs inject ink and print, observation ink droplet motion conditions judges that shower nozzle is the most normal.
Above example is only limited in order to the technical solution of the utility model to be described; the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or equivalent by those of ordinary skill in the art; without deviating from spirit and scope of the present utility model, protection domain of the present utility model should be as the criterion with described in claims.
