Specifically, the liquid level sensor 3 in this embodiment includes a high level switch 3-1 and a low level switch 3-2. Referring to fig. 1, the liquid level sensor 3 shown in fig. 1 has three conductive metal rods (probes) with different lengths, and since the ink is conductive, whether the ink liquid level covers the probe can be determined by detecting the resistance between the two long and short probes and the longest probe, and the viscosity value can be determined by only determining the time difference from the liquid level empty high-level probe to the empty low-level probe. The liquid level sensor 3 of the invention is not limited to a sensor with two high and low liquid level signals, and can also be a float switch with two sensing positions, and can also be in other forms.
Preferably, the device for detecting the viscosity of the ink jet printer and the addition amount of consumable materials further comprises an evaluation device, wherein the evaluation device is electrically connected with the liquid level sensor 3 so as to count a liquid level change signal in the viscosity detection chamber 2 sensed by the liquid level sensor 3, and indirectly judge the viscosity value of the liquid in the viscosity detection chamber 2 according to the change condition of the time difference of the liquid level in the viscosity detection chamber 2 from the high probe/high liquid level (corresponding to the high liquid level switch 3-1) flowing empty to the low probe/low liquid level (corresponding to the low liquid level switch 3-2) flowing empty. In this embodiment, the evaluation device is preferably a CPU.
Further, the sampling tube 8 of the viscosity detection device and the adding tube 9 of the consumable adding loop are respectively communicated with the viscosity detection chamber (i.e. the sampling tube 8 is used as a path for injecting ink into the viscosity detection chamber 2, and the adding tube 9 is used as a path for injecting consumable into the viscosity detection chamber 2), and the sampling tube 8 and the adding tube 9 can be directly connected and communicated with the top, the side wall or the bottom of the viscosity detection chamber 2; or, the sampling tube 8 of the viscosity detection device and the adding tube 9 of the consumable adding loop are merged to the same pipeline and then communicated with the viscosity detection chamber, and similarly, the same pipeline can be directly connected and communicated with the top, the side wall or the bottom of the viscosity detection chamber 2, as shown in fig. 1, in this embodiment, the sampling tube 8 and the adding tube 9 are merged to the same pipeline at the parallel connection port 2-2, so that the pipeline is used as a path for injecting ink and/or consumable into the viscosity detection chamber 2.
In order to better understand the viscosity and consumable addition amount detection device of the ink jet printer, the working method of the viscosity and consumable addition amount detection device of the ink jet printer is explained in detail in the embodiment. The operation method of the viscosity and consumable addition amount detection device of the ink jet printer according to the embodiment will be described in detail with reference to fig. 1.
Firstly, executing step S1, and judging whether the detection object is the viscosity of the ink jet printer or the addition amount of the ink jet printer to consumable materials;
next, step S2 is executed, if the detected object is the viscosity of the ink jet printer, the viscosity of the ink jet printer is detected based on the viscosity detection device 100 in the ink jet printer viscosity and the consumable addition amount detection device (i.e. the viscosity detection process does not involve the participation of the consumable addition circuit 200).
For S2, specifically, the viscosity detection device 100 is connected with a main ink pressure loop (i.e. the mixing cylinder 4) of the ink jet printer through a sampling interface 0 of the sampling tube 8, when the viscosity of the ink needs to be detected, the viscosity valve 1 is opened, the ink in the mixing cylinder 4 is injected into the viscosity detection chamber 2, and when the ink to be detected is submerged and the high liquid level of the liquid level sensor 3 is triggered, the high liquid level switch 3-1 is closed; later, the viscosity valve 1 is closed, the ink is stopped from being injected into the viscosity detection chamber 2, meanwhile, the ink to be detected in the viscosity detection chamber 2 slowly flows out through a throttling emptying pipe 2-4 at the bottom of the viscosity detection chamber, the liquid level in the viscosity detection chamber 2 is gradually reduced, when the liquid level of the ink to be detected in the viscosity detection chamber 2 is lower than the high liquid level switch 3-1, the state of the high liquid level switch 3-1 is turned off from a closed state, at the moment, an evaluation device (preferably a CPU) starts to time, the time is T1, the liquid level in the viscosity detection chamber 2 is further reduced along with the gradual emptying of the ink to be detected in the viscosity detection chamber 2, when the liquid level is lower than a low liquid level, the state of the low liquid level switch 3-2 is turned off from a closed state, at the moment, the CPU times T2, and the timing duration delta T0 (delta T0 = T2-T1) is in proportion to the viscosity of the ink to be detected, the viscosity change of the ink-jet printer can be monitored in real time by repeatedly sampling and detecting the timing duration delta T0.
Then, step S3 is executed, if the detected object is the consumable addition amount and whether the consumable exists or not, the consumable addition amount of the ink jet printer needs to be detected based on the viscosity detection device 100 and the consumable addition loop 200 (that is, the consumable addition amount detection needs to involve the viscosity detection device 100 and the consumable addition loop 200 to jointly participate in the realization); the method is mainly based on the difference result between the consumed time of the process of independently filling or emptying the viscosity detection chamber 2 and the consumed time of filling or emptying the viscosity detection chamber 2 caused by adding a certain amount of consumable materials into the viscosity detection chamber 2 in the process of filling or emptying the viscosity chamber, and the specific detection mode can adopt a mode one or a mode two (the recording time involved in the two modes is recorded by a CPU).
The first method is as follows:
s31: stopping detecting the viscosity of the ink jet printer, and acquiring a last viscosity detection value; wherein the viscosity detection value is defined as the time difference Delta T from the moment that the liquid level in the viscosity detection chamber 2 is detected to be disconnected by the high liquid level switch 3-1 to the moment that the low liquid level switch 3-2 is detected to be disconnected;
s32: opening a viscosity valve 1, closing an adding valve 6 and an adding pump 5, injecting ink into the viscosity detection chamber 2, closing the viscosity valve 1 after first preset time (wherein the first preset time is determined according to practical application conditions) after the liquid level in the viscosity detection chamber 2 is submerged and a high liquid level switch 3-1 of a liquid level sensor 3 is triggered to be closed, and recording a time t1 (the time is recorded by a CPU) corresponding to the moment when the high liquid level switch 3-1 in the viscosity detection chamber 2 detects the disconnection;
s33: after the time t1 is recorded, continuing a second preset time to reach a corresponding time t2 (wherein the length of the second preset time depends on the practical application), opening an adding valve 6 and an adding pump 5, and injecting the consumable with the time delta t into the viscosity detection chamber 2; wherein the time delta T for injecting the consumable is less than delta T (the specific time duration delta T depends on the practical application).
S34: during the time delta t for injecting the consumable, if the high liquid level switch 3-1 detects the connection, the adding valve 6 and the adding pump 5 are closed, the moment is recorded as t3 (the time is recorded by the CPU), and the addition amount of the consumable is recorded by taking the time as a unit mark: t3-t 2; if low liquid level switch 3-2 detects the disconnection, then close and add valve 6 and add pump 5, record consumptive material addition volume to the time is the unit sign record consumptive material addition volume and is: 0, judging that the consumable bottle 7 is empty, sending a notice for prompting to replace the consumable bottle 7, and displaying a prompt message or warning that the consumable bottle 7 is exhausted by the system;
s35: after the time delta T for injecting the consumable, the disconnection is detected by the low level switch 3-2 along with the time, the moment is recorded as T4, if T4-T1> delta T, and the addition amount of the consumable is recorded by taking the time as a unit identifier: delta t, determining that the consumable material still exists in the consumable material bottle 7; if T4-T1 is not more than delta T, marking and recording the addition amount of the consumable by taking time as a unit as follows: 0, the consumable bottle 7 is judged to be empty, and a notice for prompting the replacement of the consumable bottle 7 is sent.
