Description

打印作业切换方法、图像形成装置及可读存储介质
本申请要求于2020年7月24日提交中国专利局、申请号为202010720954.5、发明名称为“打印作业切换方法、图形形成装置及可读存储介质”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及图像处理技术领域,具体涉及打印作业切换方法、图像形成装置及可读存储介质。
背景技术
图像形成装置用于执行图像形成作业,诸如生成、打印、接收和发送图像数据,并且图像形成装置的示例包括打印机、扫描仪、复印机、传真机、以及在单个设备中执行以上功能的多功能外围设备(MFP,Multi-Functional Peripheral)。
现有图像形成装置,一般都有多个模式,多个模式例如可以对应在不同类型的纸张上成像,比如在A4尺寸的纸张上成像时,图像形成装置的曝光组件中的多棱镜以第一速度旋转,而在A6尺寸的纸张上成像时,图像形成装置的多棱镜分别以第二速度旋转,其中,第二速度低于第一速度,通常来说,多棱镜的转速与纸张的宽度呈正相关。
在进行打印作业时,光电传感器设置于感光体(OPC,Organic Photoconductor)和曝光组件之间的一侧,用于感应光信号以确定多棱镜的相位,当多棱镜的相位对应一行图像的起始像素点/末端像素点时,向图像形成装置的控制器反馈行同步信号,使得控制器响应于行同步信号逐步输出该行图像/下一行图像对应的图像数据,从而保证曝光、显影的正常运行。
现有技术中,如果需要从第一模式切换到第二模式,例如从打印A4纸张作业切换到打印A6纸张作业时,图像形成装置的控制器会将多棱镜的角速度由A4纸张对应的线速度切换到A6纸张对应的线速度,由于多棱镜的角速度变化后,光电传感器需要根据光信号确定多棱镜的相位,以输出行同步信号给控制器,而在多棱镜的角速度由A4纸张对应的线速度切换到A6纸张对应的线速度之后,在光电传感器输出行同步信号给控制器之前的这段时间内,曝光组件需要持续曝光且控制器无法确定多棱镜的相位,从而会导致感光体异常曝光。为了解决此问题,现有技术中一般的做法为:完成A4纸张对应的作业之后,先将曝光组件停止运行(即,将多棱镜的角速度变为0),然后重新以新的模式启动曝光组件(即,将多棱镜的角速度由0调整到A6对应的线速度),但通过该方法会导致切换时间比较久,并且用户会明显感受到图像形成装置有停顿。
基于上述,本领域技术人员需要一种能够保证正常曝光且能缩短切换时长的打印作业切换方案,以提高用户使用体验。

下面,对本申请主要涉及到的图像形成部c进一步详细说明。
结合图1-图3,图像形成部c包括:四个成像单元10、与四个成像单元10一一对应的四个曝光组件20、显影单元30、中间转印带40、包含与各成像单元10对应设置的四个一次转印辊50(转印部件的一个示例)、二次转印辊60、定影单元70等等,其中,四个成像单元10与黑色(BK)、品红色(M)、青色(C)、黄色(Y)分别对应。
每个成像单元10包括感光鼓101(感光体的一个示例)、充电辊102(充电单元的一个示例)、清洁单元103、充电用外施电压部104及感光鼓马达105(感光鼓驱动单元的一个示例)。其中,感光鼓马达105驱动感光鼓101沿顺时钟方向或者逆时钟方向以一定速度旋转,在本发明实施例中,感光鼓马达105驱动感光鼓101沿顺时钟方向(即图1和图3所示的A1方向)旋转。
图像形成部c的图像形成过程可以包括:充电辊102使感光鼓101的表面带电,曝光组件20根据上位装置(例如计算机端)发送过来的图像数据或是图像读取部b传输过来的图像数据产生曝光信号,发射出与曝光信号相对应的激光束,曝光感光鼓101的表面,从而在感光鼓101的表面形成静电潜像。接着,显影单元30使感光鼓101的表面上的静电潜像显影为调色剂图像。然后,一次转印辊50将感光鼓101的表面上的调色剂图像一次转印到中间转印带40的表面,从而在中间转印带40的表面上形成调色剂图像。二次转印辊60将中间转印带40表面的调色剂图像二次转印到纸张。被二次转印有调色剂图像的纸张被输送到进入到定影单元70。定影单元70使调色剂图像定影在纸张上,从而排出。此外,残留在感光鼓101的表面上的调色剂由清洁单元103去除。
应该知道的是,上述的图像形成装置1为彩色图像形成装置的一个示例,在其它 实施例中,如果是单色图像形成装置,则成像单元10、曝光组件20及一次转印辊50等的数量为1个。
其中,显影单元30包括显影辊(显影结构的一个示例)301、显影用外施电压部302及显影盒303,显影用外施电压部302用于对显影辊301施加显影偏压。显影盒303用于存放显影剂。四个显影单元30的显影盒303分别用于存放黑色(BK)、品红色(M)、青色(C)、黄色(Y)的显影剂。
其中,如图3所示,每个曝光组件20包括发光部201、多棱镜202、多棱镜马达203(多棱镜驱动单元的一个示例)、多棱镜马达控制单元204、光学透镜205及传感器206。
发光部201被设置成能够射出光束,发光部201的数量可以为一个或者多个,发光部201的例子可以为激光发射二级管。在本发明实施例中,发光部201的位置是固定的。
多棱镜202可以是四棱镜、五棱镜、六棱镜等,在本实施方式中,多棱镜202为六棱镜,呈正六边形,在多棱镜202的外周面设置有6个反射面,多棱镜202被设置为能够旋转。
多棱镜马达203被固定在多棱镜202上,在多棱镜马达控制单元204的控制下,以规定的转速旋转,从而使多棱镜202旋转。在本发明实施例中,多棱镜马达控制单元204可以是非必要的,控制器a可直接控制多棱镜马达203以一定速度旋转。
光学透镜205设置于多棱镜202与感光鼓101之间,光学透镜205例如为fθ透镜,在本发明实施例中,光学透镜205的数量为两个,在本发明其它实施例中,各曝光组件20除了具有光学透镜205外,还可以具有其它一个或多个光学透镜205。
传感器206用于检测多棱镜202的相位,当多棱镜202的相位为预设相位时,向控制器a生成第一反馈信号,其中,当发光部201发射的光点刚好照射在多棱镜202的一棱的边缘时,多棱镜202的相位为预设相位。第一反馈信号用于确定多棱镜202的相位,进而确定一行扫描图像的起始像素点或末端像素点。
曝光组件20的工作原理为:控制器a将需要图像数据变为电信号,输出至发光部201,使之发射出一个光点,这光点照在多棱镜202的一棱的边上,经过光学透镜205反射到感光鼓101上,在感光鼓101上就形成的一个光点G1,控制器a再发射第二个光点G2,多棱镜202旋转一点点,这样第二个光点就照射在感光鼓101上第一个光点边,以此类推,多棱镜202的一棱扫描图像的一行,一行图像对应一行光点轨迹,感光鼓101经过扫描一行后(如图3所示,一行扫描图像对应的光点沿W方向均匀排列),向A1方向旋转预设距离,因此,在感光鼓101上就形成了以光点为单位的静电潜像。基于上述,当多棱镜202到达预设相位时,在感光鼓101上形成一行光点轨迹中的第一个光点。
如图2所示,在本发明实施例中,控制器a与传感器206连接,传感器206具体可以为光电传感器,光电传感器设置于多棱镜202与感光鼓101之间的一侧,用于感应光信号,将光信号转换为电信号,当多棱镜202的相位为预设相位,光电传感器向控制器a发送第一反馈信号,第一反馈信号的例子可以为行同步信号。
控制器a与多棱镜马达203或者多棱镜马达控制单元204连接,用于根据不同的 图像作业类型,控制器a控制多棱镜马达203或者通过多棱镜马达203控制多棱镜马达203以不同线速度旋转,进而控制多棱镜202以不同线速度旋转。
控制器a与感光鼓马达105连接,用于根据不同的图像作业类型,控制感光鼓马达105以不同线速度旋转,进而控制感光鼓101以不同线速度旋转。
控制器a与充电用外施电压部104连接,在图像形成装置1执行打印的过程中,控制器a控制充电用外施电压部104对充电辊102施加充电偏压,使充电辊102带电,另外,在图像形成装置1执行打印的过程中,感光鼓101在感光鼓马达105的作用下旋转,与感光鼓101接触的充电辊102从动于感光鼓101而旋转,因此充电辊102使感光鼓101的表面均匀带电。
在进行打印的过程中,曝光组件20的发光部201射出光束,射出的光束通过多棱镜202的各反射面偏转,穿过光学透镜205而到达感光鼓101的表面,在感光鼓101的表面形成静电潜像。
控制器a与显影用外施电压部302连接,在进行打印的过程中,控制器a控制显影用外施电压部302对显影辊301施加显影偏压。据此,显影剂中的调色剂从显影辊301供给给感光鼓101的表面,感光鼓101的表面的静电潜像被显影为调色剂图像。
具体地,在进行打印的过程中,充电辊102使感光鼓101带电,使得感光鼓101的表面电势变为暗部电势Vd。曝光组件20发射激光以将感光鼓101曝光,感光鼓101被激光照射的区域(光点)的电势与明部电势Vl对应,不被激光照射的区域中的感光鼓101中的电势与暗部电势Vd对应。
显影用外施电压部302施加显影偏压Vdc到显影辊301,显影辊301的表面电势与显影偏压Vdc对应。在进行打印的过程中,显影偏压Vdc被控制为比暗部电势Vd高且比明部电势Vl低的值。暗部电势Vd为例如-400V,显影偏压Vdc例如为-300V,明部电势Vl为例如-100V。通过该配置,使得承载在显影辊301上的调色剂(负极性)附着到感光鼓101被激光照射的区域(明部电势Vl),但在不被激光照射的区域(暗部电势Vd)中不附着到感光鼓101上。
现有图像形成装置,一般都有多个模式,多个模式例如可以对应在不同类型的纸张上成像,比如在A4尺寸的纸张上成像时,图像形成装置1的曝光组件20中的多棱镜202以第一速度旋转,而在A6尺寸的纸张上成像时,图像形成装置1的多棱镜202分别以第二速度旋转,其中,第二速度低于第一速度,通常来说,多棱镜202的转速与纸张的宽度呈正相关。
在进行打印作业时,光电传感器设置于感光体和曝光组件20之间的一侧,用于感应光信号以确定多棱镜202的相位,当多棱镜202的相位对应一行图像的起始像素点/末端像素点时,向图像形成装置1的控制器a反馈行同步信号,使得控制器a响应于行同步信号逐步输出该行图像/下一行图像对应的图像数据,从而保证曝光、显影的正常运行。
现有技术中,如果需要从第一模式切换到第二模式,例如从打印A4纸张作业切换到打印A6纸张作业时,图像形成装置1的控制器a会将多棱镜202的线速度由A4纸张对应的线速度切换到A6纸张对应的线速度,由于多棱镜202的线速度变化后,光电传感器需要根据光信号确定多棱镜202的相位,以输出行同步信号给控制器a, 而在多棱镜202的线速度由A4纸张对应的线速度切换到A6纸张对应的线速度之后,在光电传感器输出行同步信号给控制器a之前的这段时间内,曝光组件20需要持续曝光且控制器a无法确定多棱镜202的相位,从而会导致感光体异常曝光。为了解决此问题,现有技术中一般的做法为:完成A4纸张对应的作业之后,先将曝光组件20停止运行(即,将多棱镜202的线速度变为0),然后重新以新的模式启动曝光组件20(即,将多棱镜202的线速度由0调整到A6对应的线速度),但通过该方法会导致切换时间比较久,并且用户会明显感受到图像形成装置有停顿。
基于上述,本发明实施例提供一种打印作业切换方法、图像形成装置及可读存储介质,能够解决现有技术中不同类型的打印作业之间的切换过程中存在的异常曝光和切换时间比较久的问题,能够保证正常曝光且能缩短切换时长,以提高用户体验。
如图1-3所示,本发明实施例提供一种打印作业切换方法,应用于图像形成装置1,图像形成装置1包括:控制器a、曝光组件20、感光体(例如感光鼓101)及显影辊301,曝光组件20包括发光部201、多棱镜202及传感器206,多棱镜202、感光体和显影辊301在控制器a的控制下旋转,控制器a还用于控制显影辊301的显影偏压;曝光组件20还包括传感器206,传感器206用于根据发光部201产生的激光检测多棱镜202的相位,当多棱镜202的相位为预设相位时,输出第一反馈信号至控制器a。
请参阅图4,一种打印作业切换方法,包括:
步骤S101:当确定由第一类型的第一打印作业切换至第二类型的第二打印作业时,控制器控制显影辊的电势由第一电势调整为第二电势,以及控制发光部停止产生激光,其中,第一打印作业、第二打印作业对应多棱镜的角速度分别为第一速度、第二速度,第一速度不同于第二速度,第二电势的绝对值低于感光体被激光照射的区域的电势的绝对值;
步骤S102:控制器将多棱镜的角速度由第一速度切换到第二速度;
步骤S103:控制器控制发光部重新产生激光;
步骤S104:控制器接收传感器生成的第一反馈信号,第一反馈信号用于确定多棱镜的相位,进而确定一行扫描图像的起始像素点或末端像素点;
步骤S105:控制器调整显影辊的电势恢复为第一电势,第一电势的绝对值高于感光体被激光照射的区域的电势的绝对值。
可以理解,本发明实施例通过在接收到第一反馈信号之前先控制所述显影辊的电势由第一电势调整为绝对值低于所述感光体被激光照射的区域的电势的绝对值的第二电势以及暂停发光部停止产生激光,以分别达到暂停显影、曝光的目的,待所述多棱镜的角速度达到目标值(即第二速度)再产生激光,以及待所述多棱镜的相位到达一行扫描图像的起始像素点或末端像素点对应的相位之后,再恢复为显影辊的电势为第一电势,进而再进行正常的显影,因此,可以直接切换多棱镜的角速度至目标线速度,不必先将曝光组件停止运行(即,将多棱镜的角速度变为0),然后重新以新的模式启动曝光组件(即,将多棱镜的角速度由0调整到A6对应的线速度),从而减少了切换作业所需的时间,同时,由于在调整多棱镜的角速度之前暂停了曝光,在确定行同步信号之前,暂停了显影辊的显影操作,避免了异常曝光和异常显影。
下面对本发明提供的打印作业切换方法进行具体的说明。
本发明实施例提供的打印作业切换方法可以应用于以下场景:
场景一:不同用户在同一时间段内下发两个不同的打印作业至图像形成装置,两个不同的打印作业对应不同多棱镜202的线速度。
例如,第一用户与第二用户分别在同一时间下发第一打印作业和第二打印作业至图像形成装置。
又例如,第一用户先下发第一打印作业至图像形成装置,在图像形成装置完成第一打印作业时或者图像形成装置完成第一打印作业之前,第二用户再下发第二打印作业至图像形成装置。
场景二:同一用户在同一时间段内下发两个不同的打印作业至图像形成装置,两个不同的打印作业对应不同多棱镜202的线速度。
例如,第一用户同时下发第一打印作业和第二打印作业至图像形成装置。

场景三:同一用户下发打印作业至图像形成装置,打印作业包括第一打印作业和第二打印作业,即打印作业中的其中一部分页面作为第一打印作业,打印作业中的其中一部分页面作为第二打印作业。
在以上场景中,两个不同的打印作业的例子可以为不同纸张类型的打印作业,例如第一打印作业对应的纸张类型为A4纸张,第二打印作业对应的纸张类型为A6纸张,纸张类型信息可以携带在作业信息中。
针对步骤S101:当确定由第一类型的第一打印作业切换至第二类型的第二打印作业时,控制器a控制显影辊301的电势由第一电势调整为第二电势,以及控制发光部停止产生激光,其中,第一打印作业、第二打印作业对应多棱镜的角速度分别为第一速度、第二速度,第一速度不同于第二速度,第二电势的绝对值低于感光体被激光照射的区域的电势的绝对值;
其中,当图像形成装置1在完成第一打印作业之前或者图像形成装置1在完成第一打印作业的时候,如果接收到第二打印作业,那么,当图像形成装置1完成第一打印作业时,确定由第一类型的第一打印作业切换至第二类型的第二打印作业。
其中,第一打印作业和第二打印作业可以由终端侧下发,或者由图像形成装置11的操作部下发,经由图像读取部b进行扫描生成图像数据。
其中,第一打印作业和第二打印作业可以对应不同类型的纸张,纸张类型信息可以携带在第一打印作业和第二打印作业对应的设置信息中。例如,第一打印作业对应A4纸张,第二打印作业对应A6纸张。其中,第一打印作业、第二打印作业对应多棱镜202的线速度分别为第一速度、第二速度,第一速度不同于第二速度。在图像形成装置1执行第一打印作业时,控制器a通过多棱镜马达203控制多棱镜202的线速度为第一速度。
其中,控制器a控制显影单元的电势由第一电势调整为第二电势,其目的是为了使得承载在显影辊301上的调色剂(负极性)不附着到感光鼓101被激光照射的区域(明 部电势Vl),从而停止显影的过程。其中,第一电势对应上文中的显影偏压Vdc,显影偏压Vdc例如为-300V,第二电势可以为-50V,感光体被激光照射的区域的电势对应上文中的明部电势Vl,感光体不被激光照射的区域的电势对应上文中的暗部电势Vd。
其中,控制器a通过控制显影用外施电压部302对显影辊301施加的显影偏压从而调整显影单元的电势由第一电势调整为第二电势。
其中,控制器a与发光部201,用于控制发光部201发射激光。
其中,控制器a控制显影辊301的电势由第一电势调整为第二电势,以及控制发光部201停止产生激光的顺序本发明不做限定,即控制器a可以先控制显影辊301的电势由第一电势调整为第二电势,再控制发光部201停止产生激光,或者先控制发光部201停止产生激光,再控制显影辊301的电势由第一电势调整为第二电势,或者同时控制显影辊301的电势由第一电势调整为第二电势以及发光部201停止产生激光。
针对步骤S102:控制器将多棱镜的角速度由第一速度切换到第二速度;
作为一种示例,控制器a可以根据不同的纸张类型信息确定感光鼓101和多棱镜202的线速度,例如,根据第一打印作业对应的纸张类型信息确定执行第一打印作业时感光鼓101和多棱镜202的线速度,根据第二打印作业对应的纸张类型信息确定执行第二打印作业时感光鼓101和多棱镜202的线速度。
在本实施例中,第一打印作业、第二打印作业对应多棱镜202的线速度分别为第一速度、第二速度,控制器a与多棱镜马达203或者多棱镜马达控制单元204连接,用于根据不同的图像作业类型,输出不同的电压参数控制多棱镜马达203或者通过多棱镜马达控制单元204控制多棱镜马达203以不同线速度旋转,从而实现将将多棱镜202的线速度由第一速度切换到第二速度。
针对步骤S103:控制器控制发光部重新产生激光。
其中,步骤S103的目的在于使得传感器206能够根据激光的光信号检测多棱镜202的相位。
其中,控制器a与发光部201,用于控制发光部201发射激光。
针对步骤S104:控制器接收传感器生成的第一反馈信号,第一反馈信号用于确定多棱镜的相位,进而确定一行扫描图像的起始像素点或末端像素点;
当多棱镜202的相位为预设相位时,向控制器a生成第一反馈信号,其中,当发光部201发射的光点刚好照射在多棱镜202的一棱的边缘时,多棱镜202的相位为预设相位。第一反馈信号用于确定多棱镜202的相位,进而确定一行扫描图像的起始像素点或末端像素点。
传感器206具体可以为光电传感器,光电传感器设置于多棱镜202与感光鼓101之间的一侧,用于感应光信号,将光信号转换为电信号,当多棱镜202的相位为预设相位,光电传感器向控制器a发送第一反馈信号,第一反馈信号的例子可以为行同步信号。控制器a接收到第一反馈信号后,确定多棱镜202的相位,逐步输出该行图像/下一行图像对应的图像数据,从而保证曝光、显影的正常运行。
针对步骤S105:控制器调整显影辊的电势恢复为第一电势,第一电势的绝对值高于感光体被激光照射的区域的电势的绝对值。
其中,感光体的例子可以为感光鼓101。
其中,控制器a控制显影单元的电势由第二电势恢复为第一电势,其目的是为了使得承载在显影辊301上的调色剂(负极性)附着到感光鼓101被激光照射的区域(明部电势Vl),从而重新启动显影的过程。
在本发明实施例中,为了进一步避免显影异常,控制器a调整显影辊301的电势为第一电势,包括:当感光体被激光照射过的区域转过显影辊301的位置之后,调整显影辊301的电势恢复为第一电势,从而使得感光体被激光照射过的区域不进行显影,避免显影剂异常。
在本发明实施例中,打印作业切换方法还包括:控制器a控制感光体的线速度由第三速度切换到第四速度,其中,第一打印作业对应感光体的线速度为第三速度,第二打印作业对应感光体的线速度为第四速度,第三速度不同于第四速度。
其中,控制器a控制感光体的线速度由第三速度切换到第四速度可以在确定由第一类型的第一打印作业切换至第二类型的第二打印作业后的任一步骤之前或者之后。
在本实施例中,第一打印作业、第二打印作业对应感光体的线速度分别为第三速度、第四速度,感光体具体为感光鼓101,控制器a与感光鼓101对应的感光鼓马达105连接,用于根据不同的图像作业类型,输出不同的电压参数控制感光鼓马达105以不同线速度旋转,从而实现将感光鼓101的线速度由第三速度切换到第四速度。
