When the user puts the inkjet head 10 into the accommodating space 2 3 of the inkjet head carrier 20 and fixes it on the body 21, the electronic signal input point 11 of the inkjet head 10 is electrically connected to the body 21. The contact point 221 of the sexual connection device 22 is in contact with each other, so that a control signal transmitted from a control circuit (not shown) inside the printer is input to the inside of the inkjet head 10 via the contact point 221 and the electronic signal input point 11 to control a plurality of The nozzle holes eject ink droplets. The following is a schematic diagram of a conventional driving circuit between a printer and a computer system using a matrix type and a multiplexed inkjet head. Please refer to the third figure, which is a conventional printer using a matrix inkjet head. A schematic diagram of a driving circuit between the computer system and the computer system, as shown in the drawing, the printer 3 includes a printing control circuit board 30 and a matrix inkjet head 31, and between the printing control circuit board 30 and the inkjet head 31. The plurality of contact points 221 of the electrical connecting device 22 shown in the second figure are electrically connected to the electronic signal input point 11 shown in the first figure, and the print control circuit board 30 can be supplied by the processor 301 and the driving power source. The circuit 302 and the driving chip 303 are configured. The driving chip 303 is electrically connected to the processor 301 and the driving power supply circuit 302, and the processor 301 is connected to the computer system 32 through a universal serial bus (USB) transmission line. The supply circuit 302 is for supplying a driving voltage signal for driving a heater (not shown) inside the ink jet head 31. When the computer system 32 is to perform a data printing operation, the processor 301 of the print control circuit board 30 receives the data image and related processing signals transmitted by the computer system 32 for printing and the related image processing signals. Processing the printed data signal recognized by the inkjet head 31, and generating a control signal according to the printed data signal, and printing the data signal and the control form number A0101, page 4 / 39 pages 0993153369-0 1328519 The number is transmitted to the driving chip 303, and the driving chip 3〇3 also receives the driving voltage signal continuously transmitted by the driving power supply circuit 302, and the driving chip 303 will print the received signal according to the trigger of the control signal. The lean signal and the drive voltage signal are transmitted to the inside of the ink jet head 31 and drive the ink jet head 31 to control the corresponding orifice to perform ink jetting to print the data required by the computer system 32. [0008] Referring to the fourth figure, which is a schematic diagram of a driving circuit between a printer using a multiplexed inkjet head and a computer system, as shown in the drawing, the printer 4 has a printing control circuit board. 4〇 and multiplexed inkjet head 41, and can also be connected to computer system 42 through a universal serial bus (USB) transmission line, except that control printed circuit board 40 has only processor 4〇1 and driving power supply circuit 402. As for the driving chip 3〇3 shown in the third figure, which has been integrated in the circuit inside the inkjet head 41, the advantage of reducing the head of the inkjet head can be achieved, so that the inkjet head 41 directly passes through the processor 4. 〇1 receives the data signal, and the processor 401 transmits the data signal in a sequence transmission manner, and the driving power supply circuit 4〇2 continuously supplies the driving voltage for driving the heater inside the inkjet head 41. signal. When the computer system 42 is to perform the data printing operation, the processor 4〇1 receives the data image transmitted by the computer system 42 and the related processing signal through the universal serial bus (USB) transmission line. Different from the processing mode of the printer 3 not shown in the third figure, the processor 40 only processes the data image and the related processing number into a printing signal acceptable to the inkjet head 41, and generates a control signal. The print signal is transmitted to the inkjet head 41 together with the control signal. At this time, the driving circuit (not shown) inside the inkjet head 41 converts the printing signal transmitted from the processor 401 into the inkjet head 41. 096125525 Form No. A0101 Page 5 of 39 0993153369-0 1328519 The printing data signal required for printing is also performed, and the driving circuit also receives the driving voltage signal continuously transmitted from the driving power supply circuit 402, so The ink jet head 41 can control the corresponding orifices to perform ink ejection by the received control signal and the driving voltage signal and the printing data signal.

The contact points 221 of the device 22 are incapable of being in close contact or poor contact, which may cause the nozzle holes inside the inkjet head 10 to be unprintable, resulting in a deterioration in the quality of the printing. [0011] Therefore, how to develop an ink-jet head connection electrical test method which can improve the above-mentioned conventional technology and the detection circuit to which it is applied is a problem that is urgently needed to be solved.

[0042] When the printer 6 is to perform an electrical connection between the printer control circuit board 60 and the inkjet head 61, the processor 61 outputs a control signal to the detection circuit 603, respectively. And the normal operation circuit 604, so that the switch 603 of the detection circuit 603 is turned on by the trigger of the control signal, and the switch 6041 of the normal operation circuit 604 is in a non-conducting state due to the control of the control signal, so the drive The power supply circuit 602 directly transmits a driving voltage signal to the inkjet head 61 via the changeover switch 6031 and the resistor 6032. At this time, the analog digital converter 6033 receives the node 切换 between the switch 6031 and the resistor 6032.

When the comparison result is that the digital current signal is the same as the basic current signal, the plurality of nozzles representing the inkjet head 61 do not have any current flowing, that is, the current inkjet head The electronic signal input point detected in 61 is not connected to the contact point of the corresponding printer control circuit board 60, that is, the contact is poor, and if the processor 601 determines that the digital current signal is greater than the basic current In the case of a signal, at least one of the plurality of nozzles of the inkjet head 61 has a current flowing therethrough, so that it can be known that the electronic signal input point of the inkjet head 61 for detecting is corresponding to the printer. The contact point of the machine control circuit board 60 is connected to and is in a normal state. [0044] After the detection circuit 603 detects the problem and the user also solves the problem of poor contact, the processor 601 transmits another control signal to the detection circuit 603 and the normal operation circuit 604 respectively to enable the detection. The switch 6031 of the measuring circuit 603 is in a non-conducting state due to the control signal, and the switching switch 6041 of the normal operating circuit 60 is turned on by the triggering of the control signal, so that the ink jet head 61 can start the normal ink jet printing. At this time, the processor 601 receives the data image to be printed and the related processing signal transmitted by the computer system 61. Since the driving circuit is disposed inside the inkjet head 61, the processor 601 only displays the data image. And the relevant processing signal is processed into a printing signal acceptable to the inkjet head 61, and a control signal is generated, and the printing signal is transmitted to the inkjet head 61 together with the control signal, and the driving circuit inside the inkjet head 61 will be driven by The printing signal transmitted from the self-processor 601 is converted into the printing required for the ink jet head 61 to actually print 096125525 Form No. A01O1 Page 17 / Total 39 Page 0993153369-0 1328519 data signal, and the driving circuit also receives the driving voltage signal continuously transmitted from the driving power supply circuit 6〇2 via the switching switch 6041, so that the driving circuit can receive the control signal and the driving voltage signal and print the data.
