Description

喷墨打印机喷嘴异常补偿方法、装置及喷墨打印机 技术领域
本发明涉及喷墨打印技术领域,尤其涉及一种喷墨打印机喷嘴异常补偿方法、装置及喷墨打印机。
背景技术
喷墨打印是指通过喷头上的喷嘴将墨滴喷射到打印介质上以得到图像或文字,主要包括往复式扫描打印、一次性扫描打印、多喷头并排扫描打印等,往复式扫描打印也称作多pass扫描打印,多pass扫描打印是指待打印图像的每个单元都要进行多次插补才能打印完成,每个单元都由多个像素点组成,如2pass扫描打印则每个单元由2个像素点组成,3pass扫描打印则每个单元由3个像素点组成;一次性扫描打印也称作单pass扫描打印,单pass扫描打印是指待打印图像的每个单元只需要一次扫描就可以打印完成;多喷头并排扫描打印也称作onepass扫描打印,onepass扫描打印是指待打印图像一次打印完成。
如图1是4pass扫描打印的原理图,待打印图像的某一区域A(或者称作一块图像)需要4次覆盖打印完成,该区域A由若干个单元B组成,每个单元B由4个像素点组成;区域A的数据被分成4份分别是数据块A1、数据块A2、数据块A3和数据块A4,4份数据块分别由喷头的不同喷嘴进行打印,打印介质的移动方向如图1中的L1,喷头的移动方向如图1中的Z1。喷头在第1pass时,区域A的数据块A1由喷头的J1部分进行打印完成;打印介质在第1pass时的移动距离和喷头的J1部分在L方向上的长度相等;喷头在第2pass时,区域A的数据块A2由喷头的J2部分进行打印完成;打印介质再移动和喷头J2部分长度相等的距离,喷头在第3pass时,区域A的数据块A3由喷头的J3部分进行打印完成;打印介质再移动和喷头J3部分长度相等的距离,喷头在第4pass时,区域A的数 据块A4由喷头的J4部分进行打印完成。经过喷头不同部位的4次覆盖待打印图像的区域A,打印完成区域A对应的那块图像。
技术问题
但是如图2所示,无论是那种打印方式,喷墨打印机喷头工作很长一段时间后,由于墨路污染、墨水沉淀、灰尘、水汽等原因,易造成喷头喷嘴状态异常,这些异常如堵塞、斜喷、发虚、墨量不足等情况,从而导致打印的图像出现拉线、空白等问题,严重影响产品的质量。
当喷头喷嘴状态异常时,现有技术是通过清洗、压墨并刮拭以疏通喷嘴,但在清洗过程中,仍可能有部分堵孔无法清理干净,仅仅几个喷嘴异常的情况下,还能勉强进行生产,但对于要求高质量精度的产品仍然需要更换喷头;如果喷嘴异常的数量超过整个喷嘴数量的10%,则这个喷头就必须要更换掉了;当仅仅由于少部分喷嘴状态异常而导致整个喷头要被更换掉,这样不仅影响生产进度,而且轻易更换喷头也大大增加了生产的成本。

请参见图3,本发明实施例提供了一种喷墨打印机喷嘴异常补偿方法,该方法主要是对喷墨打印机喷头的喷嘴出现异常时,进行补偿,以实现正常打印图像,不影响图像在打印介质上的成像质量。该喷墨打印机喷嘴异常补偿方法包括:
S100、确定喷头中异常喷嘴位置信息;
请参阅图4,在本实施例中,通过打印状态图确定喷头中异常喷嘴位置信息,具体包括如下步骤:
S111、获取喷嘴的排布信息,依据所述喷嘴排布信息生成参考喷嘴状态图;
S112、获取参考喷嘴状态图对应的参考图像数据,依据所述参考图像数据控制所述喷头在打印介质上喷墨得到实际喷嘴状态图;
S113、依据所述实际喷嘴状态图和所述参考喷嘴状态图,确定所述喷头中异常喷嘴位置。
具体的,请参阅图5,在本实例中,所述喷头400包括4个通道分别为第一通道410、第二通道420、第三通道430和第四通道440,每个通道打印一种的颜色,每个通道有若干个喷嘴,假设每个通道有V个喷嘴,当喷头400没有出现异常喷嘴现象时,则打印的状态图由4V个线段组成,每一条线段都有一个位置标识,每一条线段由一个喷嘴独立打印形成;当喷头400中出现异常喷嘴时,打印的状态图就会出现明显的缺失线段情况,这时根据缺失线段的位置标识就可以知道异常喷嘴的具体位置信息。在另一实施例中,所述喷头400只包括一个通道,打印机中安装有多个喷头400,每个喷头打印一种颜色。在另一实施例中,多个喷头组成一个通道,该通道打印一种颜色。无论是哪种喷头结构,上述异常喷嘴位置信息的确定方法都可适用。
请参阅图6,在另一实施例中,通过传感器确定喷头中异常喷嘴位置信息,具体包括如下步骤:
S121、发送第一检测信号,控制所述喷头的每个喷嘴喷墨并得到所述第一检测信号经过每个所述喷嘴的预定喷射轨迹后对应各喷嘴的第一反馈信号,所述预定喷射轨迹为所述喷嘴正常时喷射墨滴的运动轨迹;
S122、发送第二检测信号,控制所述喷头的每个喷嘴喷墨并得到所述第二检测信号经过每个所述喷嘴的所述预定喷射轨迹后对应各喷嘴的第二反馈信号;
S123、依据每个所述喷嘴的所述第一反馈信号和所述第二反馈信号,确定所述喷头中的异常喷嘴位置信息。
具体的,该方法采用两个传感器发射的激光光束(即第一检测信号和第二检测信号)对喷头中异常喷嘴进行检测,通过第一传感器的第一反馈信号与第二传感器的第二反馈信号结合来确定喷头中异常喷嘴位置信息,避免了由于传感器自身原因导致的检测误差而导致检测结果不准确出现误判的问题,避免了正式打印时异常喷嘴对打印产品的影响。同时,在本方法的基础上还可以添加传感器的个数,来加快检测速度及检测精度,具体传感器的个数根据需要进行选择。
同时,通过上述方法不仅能够确定异常喷嘴位置信息,且还可以确定异常喷嘴的具体异常状态,如堵塞、斜喷、发虚、墨量不足等;然而当出现斜喷、发虚、墨量不足时,如果不把异常喷嘴关闭掉,则打印时异常喷嘴仍然会出墨污染打印产品,导致产品上的墨滴密度不均匀。因此,在进行补偿前需要将异常喷嘴关闭掉,具体方法如下:
依据所述异常喷嘴位置信息,确定所述第一数据的打印数据地址,将非出墨数据写入所述第一数据对应的打印数据地址。这样就可以保证在打印时,异常喷嘴不出墨,不污染打印产品。
S200、获取打印参数,确定所述异常喷嘴对应的第一数据,依据所述异常喷嘴位置信息和所述打印参数,确定所述喷头中补偿所述异常喷嘴的第一数据对应的补偿喷嘴位置信息;
具体的,在本实例中,所述打印参数包括:打印介质与喷头的相对位移、喷嘴数量及第一往复式扫描打印次数。其中,所述第一往复式扫描打印次数表示打印介质单位区域的覆盖次数即pass数,且pass数为大于等于2的整数,喷头每扫描1次(打印1pass)后打印介质或喷头移动一定距离即打印介质与喷头的相对位移记作走纸距离。当所述喷嘴数量为某一通道的喷嘴数量时,根据打印参数中的打印设备特征及待打印图像的打印要求可以计算获得所述第一往复式扫描打印次数,其中,打印设备特征包括:单个喷头的精度、打 印机的横向光栅精度值;待打印图像的打印要求包括:待打印图像沿走纸方向的精度值、待打印图像垂直与走纸方向的精度值。
所述第一往复式扫描打印次数通过以下公式得到:
Figure PCTCN2019071923-appb-000001
其中,y1为第一往复式扫描打印的次数,x1为待打印图像沿走纸方向的精度值,x2为待打印图像垂直与走纸方向的精度值,x3为单个喷头的精度,x4为打印设备的横向光栅精度值,y、x1、x2、x3、x4都是大于零的自然数。
所述走纸距离(打印介质与喷头的相对位移)通过以下公式得到:
Figure PCTCN2019071923-appb-000002
其中,z为所述走纸距离,x 5为某一通道的喷嘴数,y为所述往复式扫描打印的次数,z、x 5都是大于零的自然数。
具体的,确定补偿喷嘴位置信息包括:定义所述第一往复式扫描打印的次数为R,R为大于等于2的整数,所述喷头对应有R组喷嘴,当所述R组喷嘴的第v组喷嘴中有一个或多个异常喷嘴时,从所述R组喷嘴的余下R-1组喷嘴中选取与所述异常喷嘴位置对应的喷嘴作为备选补偿喷嘴,从所述备选补偿喷嘴中选中补偿喷嘴补偿所述异常喷嘴,每一异常喷嘴对应于至少一个补偿喷嘴,其中v为大于等于1的整数。
如图7,所述喷头包括4个通道分别为黑色通道C1、青色通道C2、洋红色通道C3、黄色通道C4,每个通道有16个喷嘴,以4pass打印为例,则黑色通道C1的喷嘴平分成4组分别为第1组a1、第2组a2、第3组a3和第4组a4,每一组有4个喷嘴按走纸方向L2分别为第1号喷嘴、第2号喷嘴、第3号喷嘴和第4号喷嘴,所述异常喷嘴为第1组a1的第1号喷嘴和第4组a4的第2号喷嘴,则第1组a1的第1号喷嘴的补偿喷嘴位置有第2组a2的第1号喷嘴、第3组a3的第1号喷嘴和第4组a4的第1号喷嘴,第4组a4的第 2号喷嘴的补偿喷嘴位置有第1组a1的第2号喷嘴、第2组a2的第2号喷嘴和第3组a3的第2号喷嘴。
S300、依据所述打印参数,获取所述补偿喷嘴在正常打印时所对应的第二数据,所述第二数据包括出墨数据和非出墨数据,确定所述第二数据中非出墨数据的地址,将所述第一数据对应写入所述非出墨数据的地址生成补偿数据。
具体的,在喷头的一个通道中可能存在多个异常喷嘴,所有异常喷嘴的补偿方法都是相同的,下面将以往复式扫描打印方式中某个喷头的一个异常喷嘴为例详细说明其具体补偿方法,具体补偿方法如下:
依据所述异常喷嘴位置信息,获取所述异常喷嘴对应的第一数据,在本实施例中,将所述第一数据记作第一异常喷嘴打印数据。
设所述第一异常喷嘴打印数据为:
SrcData 1[n]={S1,S2,S3,S4,........,Sn}
其中n为SrcData x的数据个数,S为具体数据信息。
然后依据所述补偿喷嘴位置信息获取补偿喷嘴在正常打印时对应的第二数据,具体为:所述打印区域的数据包括P份数据块(P为大于0的自然数),所述P份数据块按照打印的前后顺序分别为第1数据块、第2数据块……第P-1数据块、第P数据块,则第d数据块由第d组喷嘴进行打印,d为大于0的自然数且d小于等于P。根据所述补偿喷嘴位置信息从P份所述补偿喷嘴数据块中提取所述补偿喷嘴对应的第二数据。
根据所述第二数据和所述第一异常喷嘴打印数据按照如下步骤对某一通道上的第i组第e所述异常喷嘴对应的第一异常喷嘴打印数据进行补偿得到每个所述补偿喷嘴的实际打印数据,i为大于0的自然数且i小于等于P:
S1、判断第1组第e所述补偿喷嘴是否异常,如果正常,则从第1数据块中提取第e所述补偿喷嘴对应的第1第二数据,将第1第二数据与所述第一异常喷嘴打印数据进行或运算得到第1实际打印数据,同时更新第一异常喷嘴打印数据得到第二异常喷嘴打印数据。判断所述第二异常喷嘴打印数据 中的数据个数是否为零,若果为零则结束补偿;如果不为零或第1组第e所述补偿喷嘴异常进入下一步。
S2、判断第2组第e所述补偿喷嘴是否异常,如果正常,则从第2数据块中提取第e所述补偿喷嘴对应的第2第二数据,将第2第二数据与所述第二异常喷嘴打印数据进行或运算得到第2实际打印数据,同时更新第二异常喷嘴打印数据得到第三异常喷嘴打印数据。判断所述第三异常喷嘴打印数据中的数据个数是否为零,若果为零则结束补偿;如果不为零或第2组第e所述补偿喷嘴异常进入下一步。
S3、判断第3组第e所述补偿喷嘴是否异常,如果正常,则从第3数据块中提取第e所述补偿喷嘴对应的第3第二数据,将第3第二数据与所述第二异常喷嘴打印数据进行或运算得到第3实际打印数据,同时更新第三异常喷嘴打印数据得到第四异常喷嘴打印数据。判断所述第四异常喷嘴打印数据中的数据个数是否为零,若果为零则结束补偿;如果不为零或第3组第e所述补偿喷嘴异常进入下一步。
……
Sp、判断第P组第e所述补偿喷嘴是否异常,如果正常,则从第P数据块中提取第e所述补偿喷嘴对应的第P第二数据,将第P第二数据与所述第二异常喷嘴打印数据进行或运算得到第P实际打印数据,补偿结束,由于已没有所述补偿喷嘴所以补偿结束。
设所述第m组第e所述补偿喷嘴对应的第m第二数据为:
DstData m[n]={D1,D2,D3,D4,........,Dn}
其中n为DstData m的数据个数,D为具体数据信息,m为所述补偿喷嘴所在的组号。
在本实施例中,对于DstData m中的某个位置k,规定存在DstData m(k)=0,则表示打印时所述补偿喷嘴在K位置不出墨,则SrcData x中的K的数据可以用DstData m中的K的位置进行补偿。其中,DstData m(k)=0只是一种规定,没有具体数值限制,同样也可以规定DstData m(k)=5,代表打印时所述补偿 喷嘴在K位置不出墨,对于DstData m(k)等于多少时所述补偿喷嘴在K位置不出墨不做限定。
定义一种新运算法则记为
Figure PCTCN2019071923-appb-000003
Figure PCTCN2019071923-appb-000004
其中,α表示一个数值,β表示另外一个数值,
Figure PCTCN2019071923-appb-000005
表示一种运算,当β为0时,α与β通过
Figure PCTCN2019071923-appb-000006
运算后的值为α,当β值不为0时,α与β通过
Figure PCTCN2019071923-appb-000007
运算后的值为β。
依次对SrcData x和DstData m中的数据进行
Figure PCTCN2019071923-appb-000008
运算,结果赋值给DstData m’,即
Figure PCTCN2019071923-appb-000009
其中,DstData m’是第m组第e所述补偿喷嘴对应的第m实际打印数据。
设在SrcData 1中有n个数据需要补偿,而DstData m中有n 1个非出墨数据可以补偿SrcData 1中的数据,则从SrcData 1中取出对应的数据得到SrcData 2
SrcData 2[n-n1]={D1,D2,D3,D4,........,D(n-n1)}
若n-n1=0,则表示SrcData 1中的数据已经被补偿完,如果存在余下未进行处理的补偿喷嘴则其实际打印数据按第二数据进行保存;如果不存在余下未进行处理的补偿喷嘴则表明异常喷嘴位置的数据刚好能够被补偿完。
若n-n1≠0,则表示SrcData 1中的数据未被补偿完,如果不存在余下未进行处理的补偿喷嘴,则SrcData 2中的数据不再进行处理;
如果存在余下未进行处理的补偿喷嘴,则提取第m+1组第e所述补偿喷嘴对应的第二数据DstData m+1,将DstData m+1和SrcData 2中的数据进行
Figure PCTCN2019071923-appb-000010
运算,结果赋值给DstData m+1’,即
Figure PCTCN2019071923-appb-000011
其中,DstData m+1’是第m+1组上的补偿喷嘴对应的第m+1实际打印数据。
设在SrcData 2中有n-n1个数据需要补偿,而DstData m+1中有n 2个非出墨数据可以补偿SrcData 2中的数据,则从SrcData x+1中删除与DstData m+1中有n 2个非出墨数据对应的数据得到SrcData 3
SrcData 3[n-n1-n2]={D1,D2,D3,D4,........,D(n-n1-n2)}
重复以上判断,直到异常喷嘴打印数据中的数据个数为零或不存在未进行数据处理的补偿喷嘴为止。
如图8,对于某一打印区域F,设置4pass打印完成,走纸方向如图中的L4,设第1pass打印的第1数据块为F1,第2pass打印的第2数据块为F2,第3pass打印的第3数据块为F3,第4pass打印的第4数据块为F4,则某一通道的喷嘴被平分成4组分别为第1组c1、第2组c2、第3组c3和第4组c4,设定所述异常喷嘴位置为对应第1组c1第3喷嘴,则所述异常喷嘴的所述补偿喷嘴从未经羽化处理的一个变成3个分别为:第2组c2第3喷嘴、第3组c3第3喷嘴和第4组c4第3喷嘴,提取第1数据块F1中第3喷嘴对应的第一数据也可称作第一异常喷嘴打印数据SrcData 1,所述SrcData 1中的数据个数有20个,第2数据块F2中的第3喷嘴对应的第二数据记为DstData 2,第3数据块F3中的第3喷嘴对应的第二数据记为DstData 3,第4数据块F4中的第3喷嘴对应的第二数据记为DstData 4,
将SrcData 1和DstData 2中的数据进行
Figure PCTCN2019071923-appb-000012
运算,得到第2组第3喷嘴的第2实际打印数据为DstData 2’和第二异常喷嘴打印数据SrcData 2
SrcData 1[20]={S1,S2,S3,S4,S5,S6,S7,S8,S9,S10,
S11,S12,S13,S14,S15,S16,S17,S18,S19,S20}
DstData 2[20]={0,1,2,0,3,2,3,0,1,2,0,0,1,3,2,0,3,0,2,1}
DstData 2中可以补偿SrcData 1的非出墨数据有:DstData 2[1]=0,DstData 2[4]=0,DstData 2[8]=0,DstData 2[11]=0,DstData 2[12]=0,DstData 2[16]=0,DstData 2[18]=0。
将所述SrcData 1的每个数据和所述DstData 2对应的数据进行以下运算:
Figure PCTCN2019071923-appb-000013
通过以上运算得到第2组第3喷嘴的第2实际补偿喷嘴打印数据为DstData 2’
DstData 2‘[20]={S1,1,2,S4,3,2,3,S8,1,2,S11,S12,1,3,2,S16,3,S18,2,1}
所述第二异常喷嘴打印数据为:
SrcData 2[13]={S2,S3,S5,S6,S7,S9,S10,S13,S14,S15,S17,S19,S20}所述SrcData 2中的数据个数不为0,则继续补偿。
将SrcData 2和DstData 3中的数据进行

运算,得到第3组第3喷嘴的第3实际打印数据为DstData 3’和第三异常喷嘴打印数据SrcData 3
DstData 3[13]={0,2,3,0,1,0,2,2,1,3,2,0,3}
DstData 3中可以补偿SrcData 2的非出墨数据有:DstData 3[1]=0,DstData 3[4]=0,DstData 3[6]=0,DstData 3[12]=0。
将所述SrcData 2的每个数据和所述DstData 3对应的数据进行以下运算:
Figure PCTCN2019071923-appb-000015
通过以上运算得到第3组第3喷嘴的第3实际打印数据为DstData 3’
DstData 3‘[13]={S2,2,3,S6,1,S9,2,2,1,3,2,S19,3}
所述第三异常喷嘴打印数据为:
SrcData 3[9]={S3,S5,S7,S10,S13,S14,S15,S17,S20}
所述SrcData 3中的数据个数不为0,则继续补偿。
将SrcData 3和DstData 4中的数据进行
Figure PCTCN2019071923-appb-000016
运算,得到第4组第3喷嘴的第4实际打印数据为DstData 4’和第三异常喷嘴打印数据SrcData 4

将所述SrcData 3的每个数据和所述DstData 4对应的数据进行以下运算:
Figure PCTCN2019071923-appb-000017
通过以上运算得到第4组第3喷嘴的第4实际打印数据为DstData 4’
DstData 4‘[9]={2,S5,S7,S10,S13,2,S15,S17,S20}
所述第四异常喷嘴打印数据为:
SrcData 4[2]={S3,S14,}
所述第四异常喷嘴打印数据还有两个数据没有补偿,但所有补孔都用完了,所以补偿停止。
打印第2数据块F2时第2组c2第3喷嘴按DstData 2’中的数据进行打印,打印第3数据块F3时第3组c3第3喷嘴按DstData 3’中的数据进行打印,打印第4数据块F4时第4组c4第3喷嘴按DstData 4’中的数据进行打印,则第1组c1第3喷嘴的部分数据就被第2组第3喷嘴、第3组第3喷嘴和第2组第3喷嘴进行补偿打印了,解决了由于喷头喷嘴状态异常而使得打印的图像出现断线或者效果差的问题。
当存在多个异常喷嘴时,则其具体补偿步骤包括(将当前打印含有所述异常喷嘴记为第一异常喷嘴):
S310、依据所述打印参数以及当前对应在所述打印介质同一区域的覆盖次数,获取当前覆盖打印介质的送料距离和对所述第一异常喷嘴的补偿范围,建立所述第一异常喷嘴的位置、所述第一异常喷嘴在打印介质上的打印位置以及所述第一异常喷嘴对应的所述第一数据之间的第二映射关系;
S320、若所述第一异常喷嘴在打印介质上的打印位置在所述喷头当前的打印范围内,则存储所述第二映射关系,并备份所述第一数据。
S330、搜索存储的所述第二映射关系中,在覆盖当前打印介质的打印范围内,是否有所述第一异常喷嘴外的异常喷嘴对应的打印位置在所述打印范围内;
S340、若有,记为第二异常喷嘴,并根据所述第二映射关系获取所述第二异常喷嘴在所述打印介质上相对应的打印位置信息,计算出覆盖当前打印介质的打印范围内所能进行补偿的补偿喷嘴,将所述第二映射关系中备份的所述第二异常喷嘴的打印数据写入所述补偿喷嘴的非出墨数据地址生成补偿数据。
同时,当所述第一异常喷嘴在打印介质上的打印位置在所述喷头当前的打印范围外时,则不存储所述第二映射关系,如此将也搜索不到所述第一异常喷嘴的所述映射关系,则当前打印不能补偿所述第一异常喷嘴。
其中,上述所述第二映射关系的建立步骤如下:
定义所述第一往复式扫描打印的次数为P,P为大于等于2的整数,即每块图像由P次(也即P pass)覆盖打印而成,当前打印索引记为X,所述X指的是从整个打印开始计数起到当前已经打印的次数,逐一计算所有异常喷嘴是否落在从包含当前打印在内算起的所述P次打印范围之内,记其中一个异常喷嘴为第一喷嘴,所述第X次打印起始位置等于前X次打印介质与喷头之间的相对位移,记为S x,所述第X次打印在打印介质上的新增覆盖距离,记为h x,喷头的高度记为H,则所述第X次打印新增覆盖范围记为[S x+H-h x,S x+H],记所述第一喷嘴与在所述喷头与打印介质的相对位移增大的方向上的第一个喷嘴之间相距距离为W,则在第X+0次,第X+1次,...,第X+P-1次打印中对应的起始位置分别为:S x,S x+1,…,S X+P-1,则所述每次打印的新增覆盖范围为:[S x+H-h x,S x+H],所述第一喷嘴的打印位置分别为:S x+W,S x+1+W,…,S X+P-1+W,若所述第一喷嘴在所述打印介质上的打印位置位于对应的所述新增覆盖范围外,则不存储所述映射关系在本实施例中记作第一映射关系;若所述第一喷嘴在所述打印介质上的打印位置位于对应的打印新增覆盖范围内,且不与已存储的第一映射关系重复,则存储所述第一映射关系,所述第一映射关系包括对应打印索引,第一喷嘴对应打印位置,并取出所述第一喷嘴的所述第一数据。请参阅图9,在本实施例中,设喷头高度为12(这里的数值都是为了便于说明本发明的技术方案,这些整数值都是在同一参考标准下设定的,本领域技术人员在本实施例公开的基础上,是可以完全实现本发明的技术方案的,此外这里取整数也是为描述方便,对应12个喷嘴),第一往复式扫描打印的次数为4次(4pass),即每块原始图像需要4次分量打印覆盖而成,每次分量打印覆盖距离为3(对应喷头高度的四分之一,每pass打印时喷头在同一区域的覆盖距离),当前为第1pass打印时,第1pass 打印起始位置为0,则第1pass打印新增覆盖范围为[9,12];第一喷嘴与在所述喷头与打印介质的相对位移增大的方向上的第一个喷嘴之间相距距离为4(即从起始位置起算的第4个喷嘴出现异常),第一喷嘴为异常喷嘴且该喷头中只有这一个喷嘴,设第1pass打印后打印介质的移动距离为3,第2pass打印后打印介质的移动距离为3,第3pass打印后打印介质的移动距离为3,第4pass打印后打印介质的移动距离为3。第1pass打印时第一喷嘴在打印介质上的打印位置为4,不在打印新增覆盖范围[9,12],不保存这个第一映射关系;第2pass打印时第一喷嘴在打印介质上的打印位置为7,不在打印新增覆盖范围[9,12],不保存这个第一映射关系;第3pass打印时第一喷嘴在打印介质上的打印位置为10,在打印新增覆盖范围[9,12],保存映射关系记为第一映射关系,包括打印索引3,第一喷嘴对应打印位置10,取出备份第一喷嘴的打印数据;第4pass打印时第一喷嘴在打印介质上的打印位置为13,不在打印新增覆盖范围[9,12],不保存第一映射关系。
依据所述打印参数和所述第一映射关系,将所述第一数据写入所述第二数据中非出墨数据的地址生成补偿数据具体步骤如下:
当前为第X次打印时,逐一搜索所存储的第一映射关系,记其中一个映射关系对应的异常喷嘴为第二喷嘴,从所述第一映射关系中取出所述第二喷嘴打印位置,若第二喷嘴打印位置小于当前打印的起始位置,则认为所述第一映射关系已经过时,将该第一映射关系从存储器中删除掉;若打印位置大于等于当前打印的起始位置,则所述映射关系有效,所述第二喷嘴的打印位置减去当前打印的起始位置的值,记为Z x,若Z x小于所述喷头高度H,则所述第二喷嘴对应的所述第一打印数据可补偿,即异常缺失的打印线落在喷头范围之内。根据所述喷头内的各喷嘴位置信息,若Z x位置对应的喷嘴为正常喷嘴,则Z x位置对应的喷嘴作为第二喷嘴的补偿喷嘴,记为第三喷嘴,将所述第二喷嘴的第一数据写入所述第三喷嘴对应的第二数据的非出墨数据地址,得到所述第三喷嘴的所述补偿数据,第三喷嘴对应的打印数据包括其原始的出墨数据和写入的补偿数据;同时清除存储器中已写入所述第三喷嘴的 所述第二喷嘴的所对应的补偿掉的数据;对于所述第二喷嘴,在所述打印介质与所述喷头的相对位移增大过程中,可不断得到所述第二喷嘴对应的第三数据、第四数据…第N数据…,直到所述第二喷嘴的数据补偿写完或者第二喷嘴对应的第一映射关系已过时,所述第三数据是第二数据经补偿后的剩余待补偿数据、所述第四数据是所述第三数据经补偿后的剩余待补偿数据,所述第N数据是第N-1数据经补偿后的剩余待补偿数据,其中4≤N≤M,N取整数。
请继续参阅图9,依据所述第一映射关系,上面已经得到所述第一映射关系对应打印介质的打印位置为10。
当前打印为第1pass打印时,打印起始位置为0(均是基于同一参考标准),所述第一映射关系对应打印位置减去当前打印起始位置的值为10,小于所述喷头高度12,而在所述喷头与打印介质的相对位移增大的方向上与第一个喷嘴之间相距距离为10的喷嘴为正常喷嘴,即找到了所述第一映射关系的第一补偿喷嘴,将所述第一映射关系对应打印数据写入所述第一补偿喷嘴的非出墨地址,得到所述第一补偿喷嘴的补偿数据,同时清除掉所述第一映射关系对应打印数据在本次打印中被补偿掉的那部分数据,得到所述第一映射关系的第一次补偿后数据;
当前打印为第2pass打印时,打印起始位置为3,所述第一映射关系对应打印位置减去当前打印起始位置的值为7,小于所述喷头高度12,而在所述喷头与打印介质的相对位移增大的方向上与第一个喷嘴之间相距距离为7的喷嘴为正常喷嘴,即找到了所述第一映射关系的第二补偿喷嘴,将所述第一次补偿后数据写入所述第二补偿喷嘴的非出墨地址,得到所述第二补偿喷嘴的补偿数据,同时清除掉所述第一次补偿后数据在本次打印中被补偿掉的那部分数据,得到第一喷嘴的第二次补偿后数据;
当前打印为第3pass打印时,打印起始位置为6,所述第一映射关系对应打印位置减去当前打印起始位置的值为4,小于所述喷头高度12,而在所述 喷头与打印介质的相对位移增大的方向上与第一个喷嘴之间相距距离为4的喷嘴为异常喷嘴,则本次无法对所述第一映射关系进行补偿;
当前打印为第4pass打印时,打印起始位置为9,所述第一映射关系对应打印位置减去当前打印起始位置的值为1,小于所述喷头高度12,而在所述喷头与打印介质的相对位移增大的方向上与第一个喷嘴之间相距距离为1的喷嘴为正常喷嘴,即找到了所述第一映射关系的第三补偿喷嘴,将所述第一喷嘴的第二次补偿后数据写入所述第三补偿喷嘴的非出墨地址,得到所述第三补偿喷嘴的补偿数据,同时清除掉所述第二次补偿后数据在本次打印中被补偿掉的那部分数据,得到所述第一映射关系的第三次补偿后数据;
当前打印为第5pass打印时,打印起始位置为12,第一喷嘴对应打印位置10已经小于当前打印起始位置12,则从第5次打印开始,已经无法对所述第一映射关系进行补偿,停止补偿。
以上对本发明所提供的喷墨打印机喷嘴异常补偿方法进行了详细介绍,如图10为采用本发明的上述技术方案的效果图,从图10可知,通过对异常喷嘴进行补偿后,其打印效果几乎与喷头的全部喷嘴正常出墨的效果相同,不会出现背景技术中的断线或者空白问题。无需因为喷嘴的问题轻易换掉喷头,大大节约了喷墨打印设备的成本。
本发明的实施方式
实施例1
请参阅图11,本实施例在以上最佳实施方式中加入羽化处理,增加了异常喷嘴的补偿机会,同时也提高了打印产品的质量,具体步骤包括:
S1201、确定喷头中异常喷嘴位置信息;
S1202、获取打印参数,对所述打印参数对应的第一打印数据进行羽化处理得到第二打印数据;
S1203、依据所述异常喷嘴位置信息,从所述第二打印数据中获取所述异常喷嘴对应的第一数据,依据所述异常喷嘴位置信息和所述打印参数,确定所述喷头中补偿所述异常喷嘴的第一数据对应的补偿喷嘴位置信息;
S1204、依据所述补偿喷嘴位置信息,从第二打印数据中获取所述补偿喷嘴在正常打印时所对应的第二数据,所述第二数据包括出墨数据和非出墨数据,确定所述第二数据中非出墨数据的地址,将所述第一打印数据对应写入所述非出墨数据的地址生成补偿数据;
其中,所述第二打印数据包括所述第一数据和所述第二数据。
在本实施例中,所述打印参数还包括:羽化幅度,则所述对所述打印参数对应的第一打印数据进行羽化处理得到第二打印数据的具体步骤如下:
依据所述第一往复式扫描打印次数和所述羽化幅度,得到第二往复式扫描打印次数,所述第二往复式扫描打印次数大于所述第一往复式扫描打印次数;
依据所述第二往复式扫描打印次数,对待打印的第一打印数据进行羽化处理得到第二打印数据,所述第二打印数据中的非出墨数据的数量大于所述第一打印数据中的非出墨数据的数量。
具体的,本实施例通过对所述打印参数对应的第一打印数据进行羽化处理得到第二打印数据,经过羽化处理后所述第二打印数据中的非出墨数据的数量大于所述第一打印数据中的非出墨数据的数量,进而增加了异常喷嘴的补偿机会;而具体补偿的方法同最佳实施方式的补偿方法相同,仅仅是本实施例中的所有喷嘴的数据都是从经过羽化后得到的第二打印数据中获取异常喷嘴的第一数据和补偿喷嘴的第二数据,且确定补偿喷嘴位置信息是通过第二往复式扫描打印的次数进行确定的。
其中,经过羽化处理后所述走纸距离(打印介质与喷头的相对位移)通过以下公式得到:

在本实施例中,所述羽化数据矩阵与所述第一子打印数据矩阵的相与运算得到第一羽化数据矩阵,具体为:所述羽化数据矩阵为T,所述第一子打印数据矩阵M,则所述第一羽化数据矩阵为:
M1=M.×T
其中,.×为矩阵点乘运算,M1为第一羽化数据矩阵;
所述互补羽化数据矩阵通过以下公式获得:
T‘=E-T
其中,E为所述单位矩阵,所述单位矩阵中的元素都为1,T‘为所述互补羽化数据矩。
所述互补羽化数据矩阵与所述第三子打印数据矩阵进行相与运算得到第二羽化数据矩阵,则所述第二羽化数据矩阵为:
M2=M .×T
其中,M‘为第三子打印数据矩阵,.×为矩阵点乘运算,M2为第二羽化数据矩阵。

实施例2
请参阅图13,相对于实施例1,本实施例针对一次性扫描打印,即所述第一往复式扫描打印次数为1,所述第一往复式扫描打印次数表示打印介质单位区域的覆盖次数,本实例中所述覆盖次数为1,所述打印参数还包括:第二羽化幅度,经过羽化处理后本实施例中相邻的两次覆盖打印存在打印重叠区域,则所述第一打印数据是所述重叠区域对应的打印数据。具体如图13,待打印图像的某一区域B需要2次覆盖打印完成,打印介质的移动方向如图13中的L2,喷头的移动方向如图13中的Z2;喷头第一次移动E1,区域B由喷头J1部分打印一次,打印介质移动小于喷头的喷嘴数值的距离,喷头第二次移动E2,区域B由喷头J2部分再打印一次,区域B打印完成,其他重叠区域的打印方法同区域B的相同。
请参阅图14,本实施例的具体实施步骤包括:
S151、确定喷头中异常喷嘴位置信息;
S152、获取打印参数确定打印重叠区域,对所述打印重叠区域对应的第一打印数据进行羽化处理得到第二打印数据;
S153、依据所述异常喷嘴位置信息和所述打印参数,从所述第二打印数据中获取所述异常喷嘴对应的第一数据;依据所述异常喷嘴位置信息和所述打印参数,确定所述喷头中补偿所述异常喷嘴对应的第一数据对应的补偿喷嘴位置信息;
S154、依据所述补偿喷嘴位置信息和所述打印参数,从所述第二打印数据中获取所述补偿喷嘴在正常打印时所对应的第二数据,所述第二打印数据包括出墨数据和非出墨数据;确定所述第二数据中非出墨数据的地址,将所述第一数据对应写入所述第二数据中非出墨数据的地址生成补偿数据。
具体的,获取打印参数确定打印重叠区域,对所述打印重叠区域对应的第一打印数据进行羽化处理得到第二打印数据,设置羽化幅度,依据羽化幅度获取羽化点数和所述打印重叠区域,所述打印重叠区域对应的重叠喷嘴数量等于所述羽化点数。根据羽化点数确定打印介质与喷头的相对位移记作走纸点数,通过所述走纸点数确定补偿所述异常喷嘴对应的打印数据的补偿喷嘴位置信息,所述补偿喷嘴和所述异常喷嘴位于同一通道上。
所述走纸点数通过以下公式获得:
x2=x1-r
其中,x1为某一通道的喷嘴数,r为羽化点数,x2为走纸点数,x1、r、x2都是大于零的整数。
将某一通道的喷嘴按照走纸方向进行编号,根据异常喷嘴的位置信息确定异常喷嘴编号,当所述异常喷嘴编号大于所述羽化点数的数值小于所述走纸点数的数值时,所述异常喷嘴对应的第一数据不能被补偿,因为不存在补偿喷嘴。
当所述异常喷嘴编号小于等于所述羽化点数的数值时,补偿异常喷嘴对应的打印数据的补偿喷嘴编号通过以下公式获得:
Y=T+x2
其中,Y为所述补偿喷嘴编号,T为所述异常喷嘴编号
当所述异常喷嘴编号大于等于所述走纸点数的数值时,补偿异常喷嘴对应的第一数据的补偿喷嘴编号通过以下公式获得:
Y=T-x2
其中,Y为所述补偿喷嘴编号,T为所述异常喷嘴编号
设第m次走纸后某一通道对应的打印数据为原始打印数据矩阵,根据所述羽化点数,m为大于零的自然数,将原始打印数据矩阵分成第一打印数据子矩阵、第二打印数据子矩阵及第三打印数据子矩阵。所述第一打印数据子矩阵、所述第二打印数据子矩阵和所述第三打印数据子矩阵的高度和等于所述通道的喷嘴数,所述第一打印数据子矩阵和所述第三打印数据子矩阵的高度相等,所述第一打印数据子矩阵的高度和所述羽化点数相等;所述第一打印数据子矩阵及所述第三打印数据子矩阵位于所述重叠区域,所述重叠区域对应的打印数据为第一打印数据,所述原始打印数据矩阵对应的原始打印数据包括第一打印数据,由于所述第一打印数据子矩阵的高度和所述羽化点数相等,则所述羽化幅度越大则所述重叠区域越大,重叠区域增大则落入重叠区域的异常喷嘴就增多,则补偿异常喷嘴的机会就增大了,所述第一打印数据子矩阵和所述第三打印数据子矩阵组合形成的矩阵对应的打印数据为第一打印数据。
例如,在本实施例中,所述通道上喷嘴的个数为12个,当所述羽化点数为2dot时,所述走纸点数为10dot,则所述第一打印数据子矩阵的高度为2dot,所述第二打印数据子矩阵的高度为8dot,此时所述第三打印数据子矩阵的高度为2dot。
当所述羽化点数等于所述喷头喷嘴个数的1/2时,所述第二打印数据子矩阵不存在。
例如,在本实施例中,所述通道上喷嘴的个数为18个,当所述羽化点数为9dpi时,所述走纸点数为9dot,则所述第一打印数据子矩阵的高度为9dot, 所述第三打印数据子矩阵的高度为9dot,此时所述第二打印数据子矩阵不存在。
当所述异常喷嘴编号小于等于所述羽化点数的数值时,依据所述异常喷嘴编号,从所述第m次走纸对应的第二打印数据矩阵中获取所述异常喷嘴的第一数据。
依据所述补偿喷嘴位置信息,从第m-1次走纸对应的第二打印数据矩阵中获取补偿喷嘴对应的第二数据。将所述异常喷嘴对应的第一数据与其对应的补偿喷嘴的第二数据进行或运算得到补偿喷嘴的实际打印数据。
如图15,所述喷头上喷嘴的个数为10个,当所述羽化点数为2dot时,所述走纸点数为6dot,所述异常喷嘴编号为9,则异常喷嘴对应的第一数据的补偿喷嘴编号为1所述走纸方向如图中L3,喷头移动方向如图中Z3,则从第1次走纸Q1对应的第二打印数据矩阵中获取9号喷嘴的第一数据为:
SrcData 1[20]={S1,S2,S3,S4,S5,S6,S7,S8,S9,S10,
S11,S12,S13,S14,S15,S16,S17,S18,S19,S20}
从第2次走纸Q2对应的第二打印数据矩阵中获取1号喷嘴的第二数据为:
DstData 2[20]={0,1,2,0,3,2,3,0,1,2,0,0,1,3,2,0,3,0,2,1}
DstData 2中可以补偿SrcData 1的非出墨数据有:DstData 2[1]=0,DstData 2[4]=0,DstData 2[8]=0,DstData 2[11]=0,DstData 2[12]=0,DstData 2[16]=0,DstData 2[18]=0。
将所述SrcData 1的每个数据和所述DstData 2对应的数据进行以下运算:
Figure PCTCN2019071923-appb-000029
通过以上运算得到第2次走纸Q2时1号喷嘴的实际补偿喷嘴打印数据为DstData 2’
DstData 2‘[20]={S1,1,2,S4,3,2,3,S8,1,2,
S11,S12,1,3,2,S16,3,S18,2,1}
第2次走纸Q2时1号喷嘴按DstData2’中的数据进行打印,第1次走纸Q1的9号喷嘴中的部分数据就由第2次走纸Q2的1号喷嘴进行了补偿打印, 解决了由于喷头喷嘴状态异常而使得打印的图像出现断线或空白的问题。以上实施例的其他部分与最佳实施方式、实施例1相同,详细描述请参见最佳实施方式、实施例1的描述。
