Description

本発明は、電池寿命を検出することができる２次電池駆動プリンタに関する。   The present invention relates to a secondary battery driven printer capable of detecting battery life.

例えば、ポータブルプリンタでは、２次電池を駆動電源としている。このような２次電池駆動のプリンタは、電池の充電容量が少なくなって印字動作ができなくなると、ローバッテリエラーを表示して動作を停止する。このためユーザは充電済み電池への交換が必要であることを認識できる。   For example, a portable printer uses a secondary battery as a driving power source. Such a secondary battery driven printer displays a low battery error and stops operating when the battery charge capacity is low and the printing operation cannot be performed. Therefore, the user can recognize that replacement with a charged battery is necessary.

なお、２次電池は充放電回数が多くなると寿命が劣化することが知られている。
特開平１０−２５３７２５号 In addition, it is known that the life of the secondary battery is deteriorated when the number of times of charging / discharging is increased.
JP-A-10-253725

２次電池を駆動電源としたプリンタでは、電池残量容量の検出は、電池電圧を検出しているものがある。従って、充放電回数が多くなって性能が劣化した電池を使用すると、
満充電から印字を始めても数枚印字しただけですぐにローバッテリエラーを検出してしまう。このため、ユーザは規定枚数の印字ができないため、電池の劣化にもかかわらず、機器の異常と判断してしまう場合がある。 In some printers using a secondary battery as a driving power source, the remaining battery capacity is detected by detecting the battery voltage. Therefore, if you use a battery whose performance has deteriorated due to a large number of charge / discharge cycles,
Even if printing is started from full charge, a low battery error is detected immediately after printing several sheets. For this reason, since the user cannot print a specified number of sheets, it may be determined that the device is abnormal despite the deterioration of the battery.

本発明は、上記の点に鑑みてなされたもので、その目的は、従来のローバッテリエラーかあるいは電池寿命によるエラーかを区別して報知することができる２次電池駆動プリンタを提供することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a secondary battery driven printer capable of distinguishing and informing whether a conventional low battery error or an error due to battery life. .

本発明は、２次電池により用紙搬送部や印字ヘッドを駆動して用紙に印字するプリンタにおいて、前記２次電池の電圧を検出する電池検出手段と、前記電池検出手段により検出された２次電池の電圧が印字動作できないローバッテリレベルであるか否かを判定する判定手段と、電源オン時の電圧から前記ローバッテリレベルの電圧までの電位差に対応して、前記電源オン時の電圧から前記ローバッテリレベルの電圧まで前記２次電池の電圧が低下するまでに、寿命と判定されない２次電池により前記用紙を搬送し得る距離の最小値を記憶する記憶手段と、前記電源オン時に前記電池検出手段により検出された前記２次電池の電圧を保存する保存手段と、印字動作時に前記用紙搬送部によって前記用紙が搬送される距離を計数する距離計数手段と、外部から印字要求があると、前記判定手段による判定を行い、前記２次電池の電圧が前記ローバッテリレベルであると判定されると、前記保存手段により保存されている電圧から現在の電池電圧までの電位差を求め、この電位差に対応して前記記憶手段により記憶されている最小値と前記距離計数手段により前記電源オン時から前記ローバッテリレベルであると判定されるまでの間に計数された距離とを比較する比較手段と、この比較手段により前記計数された距離が前記最小値に満たないとき、電池寿命を表示する電池寿命表示手段とを具備したことを特徴とする。
The present invention relates to a battery detection unit for detecting a voltage of the secondary battery and a secondary battery detected by the battery detection unit in a printer that prints on a sheet by driving a sheet conveyance unit or a print head by a secondary battery Determining means for determining whether or not the voltage of the battery is at a low battery level at which printing operation is not possible, and corresponding to the potential difference from the voltage at power-on to the voltage at the low battery level, Storage means for storing a minimum value of a distance that the sheet can be conveyed by a secondary battery that is not determined to have a lifetime before the voltage of the secondary battery drops to a battery level voltage; and the battery detection means when the power is turned on Storing means for storing the voltage of the secondary battery detected by the step, and distance counting means for counting the distance that the sheet is conveyed by the sheet conveying unit during a printing operation When externally there is a print request, the performed determination by the determination unit, when the voltage of the secondary battery is determined to be the low battery level, the current battery voltage from the voltage stored by the storage means The potential difference is calculated from the minimum value stored in the storage means corresponding to the potential difference until the low battery level is determined by the distance counting means from the time when the power is turned on. Comparing means for comparing the distance, and battery life display means for displaying the battery life when the distance counted by the comparing means is less than the minimum value.

本発明によれば、ローバッテリエラーかあるいは電池寿命によるエラーかを区別して報知することができる。 According to the present invention, it is possible to inform by distinguishing whether an error due to B over battery error or battery life.

以下図面を参照して本発明の一実施の形態に係る２次電池駆動のプリンタについて説明する。図1において、１１は本プリンタを統括して制御するＣＰＵ(中央処理装置)である。このＣＰＵ１１からのシステムバス１１ａには、ＲＯＭ(リード・オンリ・メモリ)１２、ＲＡＭ(ランダム・アクセス・メモリ)１３、モータドライバ１４、ヘッド制御回路１５、断線チェック回路１６、電源スイッチ１７、ＬＥＤ１８、通信Ｉ／Ｆ１９、各種センサ２０、電池電圧検出回路２１が接続されている。   A secondary battery driven printer according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 11 denotes a CPU (central processing unit) that controls the printer as a whole. The system bus 11a from the CPU 11 includes a ROM (Read Only Memory) 12, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 13, a motor driver 14, a head control circuit 15, a disconnection check circuit 16, a power switch 17, an LED 18, A communication I / F 19, various sensors 20, and a battery voltage detection circuit 21 are connected.

この電池電圧検出回路２１は、２次電池２２の電圧を検出する。この２次電池２２の出力はレギュレータ回路２３を介して安定化されて各素子へ電源供給される。   The battery voltage detection circuit 21 detects the voltage of the secondary battery 22. The output of the secondary battery 22 is stabilized via the regulator circuit 23 and supplied to each element.

ＲＯＭ１２には、図３に示す制御プログラムの他、図２に示すように電源オン時の２次電池22の電池電圧と現在の２次電池22の電池電圧との電位差ｘと正常最大発行距離ｙとの関係Ａが予め記憶されている。   In addition to the control program shown in FIG. 3, the ROM 12 stores the potential difference x between the battery voltage of the secondary battery 22 when the power is turned on and the current battery voltage of the secondary battery 22 as shown in FIG. Is stored in advance.

ＲＡＭ１３にはステッピングモータ２４で搬送された記録媒体の発行距離aを計数するカウンタ13a及び電池電圧検出回路２１で検出された2次電池の電圧bを保存する記憶領域１３ｂを有する。この発行距離ａは、例えば用紙搬送用のステッピングモータで用紙を送ったステップ数である。   The RAM 13 has a counter 13 a that counts the issuance distance a of the recording medium conveyed by the stepping motor 24 and a storage area 13 b that stores the voltage b of the secondary battery detected by the battery voltage detection circuit 21. The issuance distance a is the number of steps in which the sheet is fed by a sheet conveying stepping motor, for example.

モータドライバ１４にはステッピングモータ２４が接続される。   A stepping motor 24 is connected to the motor driver 14.

ヘッド制御回路１５及び断線チェック回路１６には、それぞれサーマルヘッド２５が接続される。このヘッド制御回路１５はサーマルヘッド２５にヘッド駆動信号を出力する。断線チェック回路１６はサーマルヘッド２５の発熱素子の断線をチェックする。   Thermal heads 25 are connected to the head control circuit 15 and the disconnection check circuit 16, respectively. The head control circuit 15 outputs a head drive signal to the thermal head 25. The disconnection check circuit 16 checks for disconnection of the heating element of the thermal head 25.

通信Ｉ／Ｆ１９には、ホストコンピュータ(図示しない)が接続される。このホストコンピュータから印字要求が出力される。   A host computer (not shown) is connected to the communication I / F 19. A print request is output from the host computer.

次に、上記のように構成された本発明の一実施の形態の動作について説明する。まず、電源スイッチ１７をオンすると図３のフローチャートに示す処理が開始される。まず、カウンタ13aの計数値がクリアされる(ステップＳ１)。   Next, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be described. First, when the power switch 17 is turned on, the processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 3 is started. First, the count value of the counter 13a is cleared (step S1).

次に、電池電圧検出回路１６により2次電池22の電池電圧が検出され、その電池電圧bはＲＡＭ13の記憶領域13bに保存される(ステップＳ2)。つまり、電源スイッチ17をオンしたときの2次電池22の電池電圧bが保存される。   Next, the battery voltage detection circuit 16 detects the battery voltage of the secondary battery 22, and the battery voltage b is stored in the storage area 13b of the RAM 13 (step S2). That is, the battery voltage b of the secondary battery 22 when the power switch 17 is turned on is stored.

次に、電池電圧bはローバッテリレベルであるかが判定される(ステップＳ３)。このローレベルは2次電池２２が満充電のときの電圧値の所定％の電圧に設定されている。   Next, it is determined whether the battery voltage b is at a low battery level (step S3). This low level is set to a voltage of a predetermined percentage of the voltage value when the secondary battery 22 is fully charged.

このステップＳ３の判定で「ＹＥＳ」と判定された場合には、ＬＥＤ１８が赤で点灯される(ステップＳ4)。これにより、使用者に対して2次電池22がローバッテリであることが報知される。   If it is determined “YES” in step S3, the LED 18 is lit red (step S4). This notifies the user that the secondary battery 22 is a low battery.

一方、ステップＳ3の判定で「ＮＯ」と判定された場合には、印字待ち状態とされる(ステップＳ5)。   On the other hand, if “NO” is determined in the determination in step S3, the print wait state is set (step S5).

そして、ホストコンピュータ(図示しない)からの印字要求を通信Ｉ／Ｆ19を介して受信したかが判定される(ステップＳ6)。このステップＳ6の判定で「ＮＯ」と判定されている間は印字待ち状態とされる。   Then, it is determined whether a print request from a host computer (not shown) has been received via the communication I / F 19 (step S6). While it is determined “NO” in the determination of step S6, the printer waits for printing.

一方、ステップＳ6の判定で「ＹＥＳ」と判定されると、電池電圧bはローバッテリレベルであるかが判定される(ステップＳ７)。   On the other hand, if “YES” is determined in the determination in step S6, it is determined whether the battery voltage b is at a low battery level (step S7).

このステップＳ７の判定で「ＮＯ」と判定されると印字動作が行われる(ステップＳ８)。   If “NO” is determined in the determination in step S7, a printing operation is performed (step S8).

そして、走行距離カウンタ13aをステップＳ８で行った印字動作分カウンタアップする処理が行われる(ステップＳ9)。その後、ステップＳ5の処理に戻る。   Then, a process for incrementing the travel distance counter 13a by the printing operation performed in step S8 is performed (step S9). Thereafter, the process returns to step S5.

一方、ステップＳ7の判定で「ＹＥＳ」と判定されると、ステップＳ2で保存した電源スイッチ１７をオンしたときの2次電池22の電池電圧bから現在の電池電圧、つまりステップＳ7で検出された電池電圧を減算した電位差xを演算する(ステップＳ10)。   On the other hand, if “YES” is determined in the determination in step S7, the current battery voltage, that is, detected in step S7, is determined from the battery voltage b of the secondary battery 22 when the power switch 17 stored in step S2 is turned on. The potential difference x obtained by subtracting the battery voltage is calculated (step S10).

そして、ＲＯＭ12に記憶されている図２のデータを参照して、電位差xに対する正常最大発行距離yを求める(ステップＳ11)。   Then, the normal maximum issuance distance y with respect to the potential difference x is obtained with reference to the data of FIG. 2 stored in the ROM 12 (step S11).

そして、正常最大発行距離yとカウンタ13aに計数されている記録媒体の発行距離aとを比較する(ステップＳ１２)。  Then, the normal maximum issuance distance y is compared with the issuance distance a of the recording medium counted by the counter 13a (step S12).

そして、電池寿命であるかが判定される(ステップＳ13)。つまり、発行距離a＜正常最
大発行距離yであるかが判定される。 Then, it is determined whether the battery life is reached (step S13). That is, it is determined whether the issue distance a <the normal maximum issue distance y.

このステップＳ13の判定で「ＹＥＳ」と判定されると、ＬＥＤ１８が赤で点滅され、2次電池が電池寿命であることが表示される(ステップＳ14)。   If “YES” is determined in the determination in step S13, the LED 18 blinks in red and it is displayed that the secondary battery has a battery life (step S14).

一方、ステップＳ13の判定で「ＮＯ」と判定されると前述したステップＳ４の処理、つまりＬＥＤ１８の点灯が行われる。   On the other hand, if “NO” is determined in the determination in step S13, the process in step S4 described above, that is, the LED 18 is turned on.

以上のように、電源オン時の２次電池電圧と現在の２次電池電圧との差と正常最大発行距離との関係を記憶しておき、印字動作時に発行距離が前記電源オン時の２次電池電圧と現在の２次電池電圧との電位差に対応する正常最大発行距離より小さい場合には電池寿命によるエラーと判断してその旨を報知するようにしたので、従来のローバッテリエラーかあるいは電池寿命によるエラーかを区別して報知することができる。特に、サーマルヘッドを用いたプリンタでは、このサーマルヘッドでの電力消費が大きいため、ローバッテリによる電池電圧の低下か電池寿命かの判断が正確にできるようになる。   As described above, the relationship between the difference between the secondary battery voltage at power-on and the current secondary battery voltage and the normal maximum issuance distance is stored, and the issuance distance at the time of printing operation is the secondary at the time of power-on. If it is smaller than the normal maximum issuance distance corresponding to the potential difference between the battery voltage and the current secondary battery voltage, it is determined that the error is due to the battery life, so that the notification is made. It is possible to distinguish and notify whether the error is due to the lifetime. In particular, in a printer using a thermal head, the power consumption of the thermal head is large, so that it is possible to accurately determine whether the battery voltage is reduced or the battery life is low due to a low battery.
