Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a better recording with the liquid temperature maintained an optimal level by supplying a heat energy to a liquid from an electric and heat energy conversion element within such a range as allowing no formation of a flying liquid drop when the liquid is at a low temperature. CONSTITUTION:A pulse train with a time range only required for raising the liquid temperature to match the print cycle is supplied to an AND gate 14 from a pulse generator 13. When the liquid temperature is below a specified level, the resistance value of a thermistor 8 rises to set the resistance values of resistors 11A, 11B and 11C so that the output voltage from a comparator 12 reaches the ''H'' level. When the liquid temperature is below the specified level, output voltage is supplied to the base of a transistor 15 from an AND gate 14 with the outputting of the pulse from the pulse generator 13 and a low voltage VL is fed to an electric-heat energy element 7 through a diode 18 to raise the liquid temperature to a level free from hampering jetting.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a control circuit provided in the recording apparatus of the present invention. In this example, the temperature detector t is a thermistor, and the change in resistance value corresponding to the temperature change of the thermistor g as shown in FIG. Use this to control the temperature of the heater. That is, it utilizes the fact that when the liquid temperature in the liquid supply chamber is high, the resistance value of the thermistor t becomes a low value, and when the liquid temperature is low, the resistance value of the thermistor S becomes a high value. That is, the thermistor gap and resistance //A, //B, and //C are connected as shown in the figure, voltage V is applied, and the thermistor gap and resistance /l are connected as shown in the figure.
Connection point CA with C and connection point CB between resistors //A and //B are connected to (-) input terminals and (+) input terminals of comparator /, respectively, and resistors //B and /B are connected. Ground the other terminal of /C. Therefore, when the temperature of the liquid is above a predetermined temperature that does not interfere with injection, the resistance value of thermistor g becomes low, and the output voltage from the comparator/g becomes "L".
level, and when the temperature of the liquid does not reach the predetermined temperature, the resistance value of thermistor g increases, so that the output voltage from the comparator l becomes the 1H" level.
Set the resistance values of //B and //C.

/3 is a pulse generator, and a pulse train with a time width necessary to raise the liquid temperature in synchronization with the printing cycle is supplied to the AND gate/2 from the comparator /3. As long as the output voltage to 4I is at the "L'" level, that is, as long as the liquid temperature is maintained at a predetermined temperature or higher, even if there is a pulse signal output from the pulse generator/3, the base of the transistor 13 is not supplied with base voltage,
Therefore, the high voltage VH for liquid jetting is applied to the heater in accordance with the timing of the printing pulse IIE pressure (i') supplied to the transistor/4171 base.

Furthermore, when the liquid temperature does not reach the predetermined temperature, an output voltage of 1H'' level is supplied from the comparator/2 to the AND gate/4 (and therefore, from the AND gate/4'C). When a pulse is output from the pulse generator /3, an output voltage is supplied to the base of the transistor /, 5-, and the transistor /S becomes conductive for a time corresponding to the pulse width of the pulse output, and is connected to the heater via the diode /g. 7 to low voltage V
By feeding L to heat the heater 7, the liquid temperature can be raised to a predetermined temperature that does not hinder injection. Therefore, in the transistor /6, high voltage VH is applied to the heater 7 in synchronization with the timing when the print pulse signal is supplied to the base, so that the head 1 can perform good liquid jetting under a suitable liquid temperature condition.
