[0002] Printers are office tools used in various places such as homes and companies. To ensure printing results, the print heads in the printers are usually required to be installed with specific models of the brand to avoid problems such as other print heads not being able to match and install in the printer or poor printing results. For this reason, the print heads in the printers usually have identity information so that the printers can effectively read the print head information when working, and then remind the user of the print head status.

[0024] In order to effectively realize the output of the print head's scrapping information, when the controller determines that the current print head has reached its corresponding service life, the controller controls the identity writing module to operate according to the print head scrapping information sent by the controller to the selection module, and then selects and blows at least one of the remaining fuses in the print head, so that the print head scrapping data formed by the on and off states of each fuse in the fuse array matches the print head scrapping information.

[0029] Figure 2 4 is a circuit diagram of an identity management circuit of a fuse-type nozzle in an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0030] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0031] like Figure 1As shown, the identity management circuit of the fuse-type nozzle in this embodiment includes a print nozzle 100 for installation in a printer and a control circuit board 200, and the control circuit board 200 can perform various tasks for controlling the printer. After the print nozzle 100 is installed in the printer, it is electrically connected to the control circuit board 200.
[0032] The print head 100 includes a fuse array 1 and a gating module 2, wherein the fuse array 1 includes a plurality of fuses, each of which is electrically connected to the gating module 2; the number of fuses is specifically set as needed, such as in the present embodiment, 22 fuses are set in a specific arrangement order and each fuse is labeled and defined as labels H1 to H22. When in use, the gating module 2 can sequentially switch on and off each fuse in the fuse array 1, so that a fuse with a specific label can be blown by passing a large current through the fuse with a specific label, thereby writing the identity information of the print head 100.

[0036] like Figure 2As shown, the identity writing module 4 in this embodiment includes a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, an eighth resistor R8, a ninth resistor R9, a first MOS transistor Q1, a first triode Q2, and a first diode D1. The first end of the eighth resistor R8 is electrically connected to the signal input end of the controller 3, the second end of the eighth resistor R8 is electrically connected to the base of the first triode Q2, the first end of the ninth resistor R9 is electrically connected to the second end of the eighth resistor R8, the second end of the ninth resistor R9 and the emitter of the first triode Q2 are grounded, the collector of the first triode Q2 is electrically connected to the first end of the second resistor R2, the second end of the second resistor R2 is electrically connected to the gate of the first MOS transistor Q1, the first end of the first resistor R1 is electrically connected to the second end of the second resistor R2, the second end of the first resistor R1 and the source of the first MOS transistor Q1 are electrically connected to the power supply end of the power supply module, the positive electrode of the first diode D1 is electrically connected to the drain of the first MOS transistor Q1, and the negative electrode of the first diode D1 is electrically connected to the gating module 2.
[0037] In this embodiment, the power-on circuit includes a third resistor R3, a fourth resistor R4, a fifth resistor R5, a tenth resistor R10, an eleventh resistor R11, a second MOS transistor Q3, a second transistor Q4, and a second diode D2; the signal reading circuit includes a sixth resistor R6 and a seventh resistor R7. A first end of the tenth resistor R10 is electrically connected to the signal output end of the controller 3, a second end of the tenth resistor R10 is electrically connected to the base of the second triode Q4, a first end of the eleventh resistor R11 is electrically connected to the second end of the tenth resistor R10, a second end of the eleventh resistor R11 and an emitter of the second triode Q4 are grounded, a collector of the second triode Q4 is electrically connected to a first end of the fourth resistor R4, a second end of the fourth resistor R4 is electrically connected to a gate of the second MOS tube Q3, a first end of the third resistor R3 is electrically connected to a second end of the fourth resistor R4, a second end of the third resistor R3 and a source of the second MOS tube Q3 are electrically connected to a power supply end of the power supply module, a drain of the second MOS tube Q3 is electrically connected to a first end of the fifth resistor R5, a second end of the fifth resistor R5 is electrically connected to a positive electrode of the second diode D2, and a negative electrode of the second diode D2 is electrically connected to the selection module 2.

[0038] In order to ensure the particularity of each print head 100, to effectively obtain the characteristic information of the print head 100, and to effectively confirm the identity of the print head 100, to avoid the substitutability of other products, and correspondingly to avoid the imitation of other print heads 100, each print head 100 has corresponding identity characteristic information. The identity characteristic information of the print head 100 includes thermal resistance information, applicable ambient temperature information, resistance information, type information, life information and / or usage information. Some of the identity characteristic information of the print head 100 can be detected by special detection equipment before the print head 100 is installed in the printer. That is, the detection equipment is used to test whether the nozzle is qualified. If qualified, the thermal resistance information, applicable ambient temperature information, resistance information and other identity characteristic information of the good print nozzle 100 are obtained, and then the identity characteristic information is stored in the computer so that the identity characteristic information data can correspond one by one to the corresponding print nozzle 100. In addition, the computer can also supplement the type information, life information, use information and other identity characteristic information of each print nozzle 100 to form a complete identity characteristic information.
[0039] After the print head 100 is installed in the printer, the identity feature information corresponding to the installed print head 100 is imported into the controller 3 of the printer through an external device, wherein the external device is an external computer storing the identity feature information of the print head 100. The controller 3 stores the strobe combination data corresponding to the different identity feature information of the print head 100, and the strobe combination data uses different digital segments to represent each identity feature information in the print head 100. The number of selection combination data in this embodiment is the same as the number of fuses in the fuse array 1 and corresponds to the fuse labels one by one. For example, for fuses defined as H1 to H22, the corresponding selection combination data are N1 to N22, respectively, wherein the data combination of N1 to N4 represents the thermal resistance information of the print head 100, the data combination of N5 to N8 represents the applicable ambient temperature information of the print head 100, the data combination of N9 to N12 represents the resistance information of the print head 100, the data combination of N13 to N16 represents the type information of the print head 100, the data combination of N17 to N20 represents the life information of the print head 100, and the data combination of N21 to N22 represents the usage information of the print head 100.
[0040] The identity management method of the fuse-type nozzle in this embodiment includes an identity writing method and an identity recognition method.
[0041] The identity writing method is as follows: S1, after the print head 100 is placed in the printer, an external device imports the identity feature information corresponding to the installed print head 100 into the controller 3 of the printer, and the controller 3 obtains the corresponding selection combination data according to the identity feature information of the print head 100; the controller 3 in the printer sends the selection combination data to the selection module 2 in the print head 100, and the selection combination data can represent the information of whether each fuse in the fuse sequence is blown, such as the selection data corresponding to the fuse that needs to be blown is 1, and the selection data corresponding to the fuse that does not need to be blown is 0, thereby forming the selection combination data composed of 0 and 1; S2, the controller 3 controls the identity writing module 4 to work, thereby realizing the power-on of the selection module 2, and the selection module 2 selects the fuses that need to be blown in turn according to the selection combination data, so as to complete the identity writing work of the print head 100, and the on-off state of each fuse in the fuse array 1 directly represents its identity information. The specific process of S2 is as follows: the signal output terminal GPIO1 of the controller 3 sends an identity writing signal, so that the base of the first transistor Q2 is pulled high, the collector and emitter of the first transistor Q2 are turned on, and the current flows through the first resistor R1, the second resistor R2, and the first transistor Q2, pulling down the voltage of the gate of the first MOS transistor Q1, and the corresponding source and drain of the first MOS transistor Q1 are turned on, so that the power supply circuit 6 supplies the power to the first MOS transistor Q1. The identity writing module 4 supplies the power of the power supply circuit 6 to the fuse array 1 of the print head 100 through the first diode D1. And through the gating control of the combination gating module 2, for the fuses labeled H1 to H22, the fuses that need to be blown are energized, and the fuses that need to be retained are selected to be not energized and skipped. In addition, the first diode D1 in the identity writing module 4 can prevent the power supply of the power supply circuit 6 from reversely entering the drain of the first MOS tube Q1 in the identity writing power supply module during subsequent identity reading, thereby disrupting the original path of the voltage divider circuit formed by the sixth resistor R6 and the seventh resistor R7 in the signal reading circuit, thereby rendering the reading function invalid.
[0042] The identity recognition method is as follows: the controller 3 controls the identity reading module 5 to work, thereby realizing the power-on of the strobe module 2, and the strobe module 2 sequentially strobes each fuse in the fuse array 1; at the same time, the identity reading module 5 obtains the identity information of the print head 100 formed by the on-off state of each fuse, thereby realizing the identity recognition of the print head 100. Before each printing action, the printer will read and confirm the identity information of the print head 100, and the read information will be used for subsequent printing correction. Specifically, the signal output terminal GPIO2 of the controller 3 sends an identity reading signal, so that the base of the second transistor Q4 is pulled high, the collector and emitter of the second transistor Q4 are turned on, and the current flows through the third resistor R3, the fourth resistor R4, and the second transistor Q4, pulling down the voltage of the gate of the second MOS tube Q3, and the source and drain of the second MOS tube Q3 are turned on, so that the power supply circuit 6 supplies the power to the second MOS tube Q3. The identity reading module 5 supplies the power of the power supply circuit 6 to the fuse array 1 of the print head 100 through the fifth resistor R5 and the second diode D2. Then, the fuses labeled H1 to H22 are sequentially selected through the combined selection signal control of the selection module 2. Each time the fuse is selected, the sixth resistor R6 and the seventh resistor R7 form a voltage divider circuit, and the signal input terminal GPIO3 of the controller 3 reads the selected voltage, and the on-off status of the 22 fuses is read in sequence, that is, the identity information of the print head 100 is obtained.
[0043] The second diode D2 can prevent the reverse power supply from entering the controller 3 through the sixth resistor R6 during the identity writing process and damaging the controller 3. The fifth resistor R5 limits the current supply when reading the identity information to prevent similar writing functions from causing the reading function to fail.
[0044] In order to confirm the specific situation of the print head 100 in the printer, especially when a print head 100 is just installed in the printer, before the identity recognition method is performed, the controller 3 controls the strobe module 2 to strobe all the fuses in the fuse array 1, and the identity reading module 5 reads the signal of the print head 100 and transmits it to the controller 3, and then judges that the print head 100 is in one of the following states according to the size of the signal: the print head 100 is not electrically connected and installed in the printer, the print head 100 is electrically connected and installed in the printer but the identity writing operation is not performed, and the print head 100 is electrically connected and installed in the printer and the identity writing operation has been completed. If it is determined that the print head 100 is not electrically connected and installed in the printer, the controller 3 reminds to perform the electrical connection of the print head 100. If it is determined that the print head 100 is electrically connected and installed in the printer but the identity writing operation is not performed, the controller 3 reminds to perform the identity writing of the print head 100. If it is determined that the print head 100 is electrically connected and installed in the printer and the identity writing operation has been completed, the identity information of the print head 100 is identified by the identity recognition method. This process can be performed during the printer manufacturing process or when the after-sales service personnel replace the print head 100.
[0045] The voltage divider circuit of the sixth resistor R6 and the seventh resistor R7 connected in series can prevent the controller 3 from receiving a voltage greater than the bearing limit. The sixth resistor R6 and the seventh resistor R7 are connected in parallel with the fuse in the installed print head 100 to form a resistor that needs to be identified, and then form a voltage divider circuit with the fifth resistor R5, so that the final voltage of the resistor that needs to be identified can be identified by the control system after being divided by the sixth resistor R6 and the seventh resistor R7. The selection of the resistance values of R5, R6, and R7 needs to meet the following conditions: when the print head 100 is not electrically connected and installed in the printer, the print head 100 is electrically connected and installed in the printer but the identity writing operation has not been performed, and the print head 100 is electrically connected and installed in the printer and the identity writing operation has been completed, the signal input terminal GPIO3 of the controller 3 can read different voltage signals, thereby determining these different states.
[0046] During the operation of the printer, the controller 3 can accumulate and time the working time of the print head 100. In order to effectively output the scrap information of the print head 100 and remind the user to replace the print head 100 in time to ensure the printing effect, when the controller 3 determines that the accumulated working time of the current print head 100 reaches the corresponding service life, according to the scrap information of the print head sent by the controller 3 to the selection module 2, the controller 3 controls the identity writing module 4 to work, and then selects and fuses at least one of the remaining fuses in the print head 100, so that the scrap data of the print head 100 formed by the on-off state of each fuse in the fuse array 1 matches the scrap information of the print head. When the identity reading module 5 reads the scrap data of the print head 100 formed by the on-off state of each fuse in the print head 100, the scrap data of the print head 100 is transmitted to the controller 3, and the controller 3 prompts the user to replace the print head 100 or the controller 3 directly uploads the information of the expiration of the print head life to the network service platform of the product party.
[0047] The identity management circuit of the fuse-type nozzle in the present invention utilizes the identity management method of the fuse-type nozzle. After the print head 100 is installed in the printer, the identity of the print head 100 is written by fusing or retaining each fuse in the print head 100. The identity information cannot be modified and can be one-to-one paired with the printer for a certain period of time, and the identity information is more accurate. In addition, the cost of the identity management circuit of the fuse-type nozzle is low. In addition, when the printer is working, it can effectively identify whether the print head 100 installed in the printer is a print head 100 that matches the printer standard, ensuring the reliable performance of the printing work, thereby effectively ensuring the printing effect. The identity management circuit of the print head 100 can prevent data tampering, has low cost, is simpler to install, simplifies the control circuit, and will not lose data when encountering magnetic materials, and has high reliability of identity information.
[0048] In addition, the print head 100 in the printer can only be identified by professional printer service personnel, and the user does not need to replace the print head 100 by himself, thereby ensuring the performance stability of the print head 100 after installation and avoiding the possibility of users purchasing unqualified print heads 100.
