A method for monitoring the consumption of consumables for inkjet printers

Abstract

The invention provides a monitoring method for the consumable consumption of an ink-jet printing machine. The monitoring method comprises the steps that a metering device is connected to a consumable addition loop in series; consumables needing to be added from an ink box or a solvent box in the consumable addition loop flow through the metering device for being metered each time and then are added into an ink loop of the ink-jet printing machine. The amount of left consumables in the ink box or the solvent box is estimated in real time according to a metering result of the metering device. According to the monitoring method, the consumption progress condition of the consumables of the ink-jet printing machine can be accurately mastered without opening a machine case frequently and manually inspecting the machine case, hidden failures such as leakage and blockage of the whole ink addition metering loop can be judged, consumable supplementing plans and maintenance plans can be made in advance, machine halting and production halting caused by using up the consumables can be avoided, the use convenience of the ink-jet printing machine is greatly improved, and the continuous stability of production is greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of jet printing, in particular to a method for monitoring the consumption of consumables of an inkjet printer. Background technique [0002] The continuous inkjet printer is mainly composed of three parts: nozzle, ink system, and circuit control system. Its working mechanism is to cut the constant temperature and constant pressure ink line ejected from the nozzle into uniform size and speed through equal amplitude vibration. Ink dots, and the voltage on the charging electrode is controlled by the CPU, and the electrostatic induction principle is used to indirectly control the charge of the ink dots. When ink dots with different charges pass through the high-voltage electrostatic field, they receive different Coulomb forces and will have different deflections. In this way, different ink dots are placed at different positions on the surface of the front object to form the printing content; most of the ink drop...
