Embodiment Construction

[0031] In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the features and advantages of the present invention, the following combines the embodiments of the present invention Figure 1-Figure 5 Describe in detail.

[0032] figure 1 Shown is a schematic diagram of the components of the image forming apparatus related to the present invention. The image forming apparatus 1 includes: an ink cartridge 3, through which ink can be continuously supplied to the image forming apparatus, and after the ink in the ink cartridge 3 is exhausted, the ink cartridge can be replaced with a new ink cartridge to continue printing; the ink cartridge installation part 2 is set to A part of the image forming apparatus is used for the installation of the ink cartridge 3 to ensure that the ink cartridge 3 will not move at will in the image forming apparatus; the printing unit 4 is used to eject the ink supplied in the above-mentioned ink cartridge 3 onto the printing medium 6, and the commo...

Abstract

The invention relates to an image formation device. The image formation device comprises an ink cartridge detachably installed on the image formation device, a printing unit and a detection mechanism for detecting the ink cartridge, wherein the detection mechanism comprises an optical sensor, a timing unit and a judgment unit. The optical sensor comprises the optical transmitting portion and the optical receiving portion. The timing unit uses change of on and off states of the optical sensor as a trigger signal of timing starting in the ink cartridge installing process, and the judgment unit judges whether the ink cartridge is installed by mistake or not according to comparison of a result detected by the optical sensor and a preset program after beginning to reach or exceeding preset time when the timing unit is triggered to time. The relevant information of the ink cartridge can be accurately judged through the change of on and off states of the optical sensor and detection of the timing unit, and the technical problem that an existing image formation device cannot accurately judge whether the ink cartridge is installed successively or not in the ink cartridge installing process is solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus. Background technique [0002] Inkjet printing is more and more favored by users due to the advantages of printing bright colors. To ensure the printing effect, higher requirements are placed on the ink cartridges that supply ink to the image, especially the relevant parameters of the ink cartridges. For example, the ink volume information in the ink cartridge, the ink color information in the ink cartridge, etc. [0003] For example, Chinese patent CN200810179708.2 provides an image forming apparatus (printer) capable of detecting ink cartridge information, the image forming apparatus is provided with an ink cartridge determination system, and the ink cartridge determination system includes an optical sensor located at the ink cartridge installation part, and a determiner . The optical sensor includes a light emitting element and a light receiving element, and the optical sensor outputs dif...
