Abstract
The invention relates to a method for testing an ink box of an ink-jet printer. The ink-jet printer is provided with a carriage unit, wherein an ink supply needle which is used to be inserted into the ink outlet of the ink box and an electrode joint which is used to be electrically connected with an ink storage quantity detector of the ink box are arranged in the carriage unit; the ink supply needle is communicated with a spray nozzle arranged on the carriage unit; the spray nozzle is electrically connected with a central processing unit in the ink-jet printer through a first cable; and the electrode joint is electrically connected with the central processing unit through a second cable. The testing method comprises the following sequential process steps of: separating the electrode joint from the carriage unit; electrically connecting the electrode joint with the ink storage quantity detector; keeping the ink box and the ink supply needle in a mutual separation state at the same time; and starting the ink-jet printer to check and read ink storage quantity information inside the ink box. The testing method is used for detecting ink capacity inside the ink box and is easy to operate; and the ink box cannot be damaged in the detection process.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to method for testing ink box of ink-jet, particularly be used for testing the method for ink-jet printer cartridge ink inside capacity.
Background technology
The inkjet type printer, its printing type normally provides Mo Yuan by the ink tank of print cartridge and so on, via corresponding ink flow duct ink is transported to record head, the nozzle ejection that under the driving of print signal ink is arranged from record head is finished the record of character or figure to the recording mediums such as paper.Common commercially available ink-jet printer can be divided into piezoelectric ink jet printer and bubble type ink-jet printer according to version and the operation principle of its nozzle.
The working method of piezoelectric ink jet printer, that near its record head nozzle ink flow duct both sides respectively arrange one or more piezo-electric crystal, piezo-electric crystal is subject to the print signal control by Data Modulation, the distortion of generation contraction or expansion, ink in the extruding jet nozzle forms fine drop after nozzle penetrates, splash down to recording medium for example on the page of paper, form a measuring point.
The bubble type ink-jet printer, its recording head structure is similar to the piezoelectric ink jet printer.Difference between its working method and the piezoelectric ink jet printer is that near ink flow duct inwall or the outer wall of the bubble type ink-jet printer record head nozzle is provided with several heating electrodes.The electric impulse signal of Data Modulation is sent on the heating electrode of nozzle, and heating electrode is rapidly heated, and near the ink of nozzle is vaporized rapidly, forms steam bubble.The pressure that the steam bubble expansion produces makes ink form fine one by one ink droplet after nozzle penetrates, and splashes down to the paper page again.After electric pulse disappeared, the ink in the ink devaporation, nozzle maintained level with neat mouthful of nozzle outer surface by surface tension.Record head extracts the ink flow duct at the ink flow nozzle place in the negative pressure guiding ink storage chamber that forms behind the ink.
No matter be the piezoelectric ink jet printer, or the bubble type ink-jet printer, the ink tank or the print cartridge that all need to be complementary with it are laid in ink.For the member that holds ink, the print cartridge of current use generally is the expendable print cartridge as ink-jet printer.On the expendable print cartridge, usually dispose an IC chip, be used for storing the information such as ink capacity that print cartridge inside holds.But in actual applications, usually there are deviation in the ink capacity information of IC chip storage and print cartridge actual the appearance between the ink capacity that stores up, when causing ink-jet printer to be worked according to the IC chip canned data, the ink capacity of its dispatch command and storage that print cartridge holds is not complementary, and then produces the risk of defective nozzle.In addition, also exist because of the fault of IC chip own and cause the inoperable situation of print cartridge.In view of the situation, be necessary the ink capacity of storage that print cartridge holds and the product quality examinations of IC chip, to relate to the gap of ink capacity information between calibration IC chip and the print cartridge, predict the performance state of IC chip.Detection method is print cartridge to be packed into survey on the ink-jet printer comparatively accurately.Yet, implement the actual measurement mode and must expose the diaphragm seal of ink box ink outlet, also need the ink outlet port of print cartridge is re-started sealing detecting when print cartridge being drawn off from ink-jet printer after complete like this, and ink can flow in the ink-jet printer inevitably when drawing off print cartridge, cause working environment contaminated, affect the normal use of ink-jet printer.
Summary of the invention
For the problems referred to above, the object of the invention is to provide a kind of method for testing ink box of ink-jet.This method of testing is used for detecting the ink capacity of print cartridge inside, and its operation is very simple, and print cartridge after being completed, still keep with test before identical serviceable condition.
According to the method for testing ink box of ink-jet of the invention described above purpose design, be provided with on its related ink-jet printer for the word car that loads and transport print cartridge.In the word car, be provided with to insert print cartridge ink outlet port for tattooing needle and be used for forming with the China ink amount of the holding detector that print cartridge arranges and be electrically connected the electrode contact that holds black amount information with the transmission print cartridge.Be communicated with for the nozzle that arranges on tattooing needle and the word car.Nozzle is electrically connected by the interior central processing unit of the first cable and ink-jet printer.Electrode contact is electrically connected by the interior central processing unit of the second cable and ink-jet printer.This method of testing comprises following process steps in sequence: first electrode contact is separated from the word car, again it is formed electrical connection with holding China ink amount detector, meanwhile keep print cartridge and be in the state that is separated from each other for tattooing needle, then open ink-jet printer to review the black amount information of holding of print cartridge inside.
Method for testing ink box of ink-jet of the present invention, utilize ink-jet printer original in drawing supplying tattooing needle and being used for the electrode contact that black amount information is held in transmission print cartridge inside of print cartridge internal ink, adopt the method that electrode contact is separated with the word car, under the state that ink-jet printer runs well, to hold for the transmission print cartridge China ink amount of the holding detector connection of electrode contact and the print cartridge of black amount information, and keep simultaneously print cartridge and be in the non-touching state that is separated from each other for tattooing needle.Like this, both can utilize ink-jet printer to be used to transmit the electrode contact that print cartridge holds black amount information and review the black amount situation of holding of print cartridge inside, can under print cartridge and the state that is separated for tattooing needle, guarantee that the ink outlet port of print cartridge can not be subject to hurt again, thus realize print cartridge after being completed, still keep with test before the imagination of identical serviceable condition.Therefore, this test mode takes full advantage of existing appointed condition on the one hand, and its operation is very easy as normal printing job on the one hand.
