Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of inkjet printers, and more specifically to a multi-head high-speed variable data inkjet printer. Background Technology

[0002] An inkjet printer is a microcontroller-controlled device that marks products using a non-contact method. It applies pressure to the ink within the system by controlling an internal gear pump or by supplying compressed gas externally, forcing the ink through a nozzle with an aperture of tens of micrometers. A crystal oscillation signal applied above the nozzle splits the continuous ink stream into droplets of equal size and frequency with a specific spacing. These droplets are charged as they pass through charging electrodes, the amount of charge controlled by the CPU. A detection electrode then checks the actual charge and phase of each droplet. Finally, the charged droplets are deflected in a deflection field created by deflection electrodes and ejected from the printhead, striking different locations on the product surface to form various texts, patterns, and other markings. It can be used to print production dates, batch numbers, barcodes, QR codes, trademarks, anti-counterfeiting marks, and Chinese characters. During operation, the inkjet printer does not have strict requirements on the printing position; it only needs to ensure the printed content is within a certain range and complete. High-speed inkjet printers can print at speeds up to 80 meters per minute, which places high demands on the coordination between the moving speed of the printed object and the printing speed. However, existing inkjet printers have difficulty monitoring the printing position during the printing process, and by the time defective parts are discovered, a large number of defective parts have already been generated. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-head high-speed variable data inkjet printer to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the existing technology.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A multi-head high-speed variable data inkjet printer includes a frame, on which are mounted an adjusting roller, several winding rollers, and several printheads. The adjusting roller and winding rollers are for winding the object to be printed. The adjusting roller is slidably connected to the frame. A linear drive is fixedly connected to the frame, and the linear drive drives the adjusting roller to slide on the frame to adjust the position of the object to be printed and the printheads facing each other. The inkjet printer is equipped with a control system, which includes...

[0006] The image acquisition module captures images of the inkjet-printed area and defines them as image information.

[0007] A strobe element is mounted on the frame and operates synchronously with the image acquisition module.

[0008] The image processing module has a preset inkjet printing position recognition strategy. The image processing module acquires the image information and obtains the inkjet printing position according to the inkjet printing position recognition strategy. The inkjet printing position reflects the position of the inkjet printing on the printed object. The inkjet printing position is compared with a preset printing range. If the inkjet printing position is within the printing range, a standby signal is generated to the strobe element and the image acquisition module. If the inkjet printing position exceeds the printing range, an adjustment signal is generated to the linear drive to adjust the printing position.

[0009] In this invention, preferably, the inkjet printing location identification strategy includes an inkjet printing identification step, which includes:

[0010] Several line segments are identified in the image information to be defined as basic line segments. Two basic line segments that are parallel are defined as a group of parallel line segments. A group of parallel line segments that intersect is defined as a reference block. The intersection relationship is specifically that each basic line segment in one group of parallel line segments intersects with two basic line segments in another group of parallel line segments. The basic line segments in each reference block are extended to form several closed quadrilateral regions. The quadrilateral region with the largest area is defined as the coding region. The coding region is specifically the area covered by the QR code on the image information.

[0011] In this invention, preferably, the inkjet printing position identification strategy includes an inkjet printing positioning step, which specifically includes:

[0012] The coding area is acquired, its four vertices are identified, and the four edges of the printed object within the image information are identified. Two edges along the conveying direction of the printed object are defined as reference edges, and the other two edges are defined as distance judgment edges. An auxiliary line segment parallel to the reference edges is drawn, such that the auxiliary line segment intersects the vertex to form several distance line segments. The distance line segment starts from the vertex and ends at the intersection of the auxiliary line segment and the distance judgment edge. The length ratio of the distance line segment to the reference edge is calculated to define the coding position.

[0013] In this invention, preferably, the control system includes a displacement prediction module. The displacement prediction module controls the strobe element of the image acquisition module to operate at a preset time interval to acquire two image informations sequentially. The module identifies the inkjet printing position within the two image informations and compares them to calculate the displacement amount and displacement direction. The displacement amount reflects the change in the position of the inkjet printing area in the two image informations, and the displacement direction reflects the direction of movement of the inkjet printing area in the two image informations. Based on the displacement amount, displacement direction, and preset time interval, a critical moment is predicted. The critical moment reflects the moment when the inkjet printing position is about to exceed the printing position. When the time reaches the critical moment, the displacement prediction module generates an adjustment signal to the linear drive.

[0014] In this invention, preferably, the displacement prediction module is configured with an output distance calculation strategy. The output distance calculation strategy includes obtaining the position of the adjusting roller on the frame to define the current position, obtaining the radius of the adjusting roller, the radius of the winding roller, the position of the winding roller, and the inkjet printing movement distance to calculate the target position. The target position reflects the position of the winding roller on the frame after the linear drive is output. The radius of the winding roller reflects the radius of the two winding rollers adjacent to the adjusting roller. The position of the winding roller reflects the position of the two winding rollers adjacent to the adjusting roller on the frame. The inkjet printing movement distance reflects the length of the printed object moved after the adjusting roller is adjusted.

[0015] In this invention, preferably, the displacement prediction module is configured with a movement distance calculation strategy. The movement distance calculation strategy includes an adjustment direction judgment strategy and an adjustment distance selection strategy. Specifically, the direction judgment strategy involves obtaining the displacement direction. If the displacement direction is consistent with the conveying direction of the printed object, a linear drive component drives the adjusting roller to move away from the winding roller to increase the distance between the adjusting roller and the adjacent winding roller. If the displacement direction is opposite to the conveying direction of the printed object, a linear drive component drives the adjusting roller to move closer to the winding roller to decrease the distance between the adjusting roller and the winding roller.

[0016] The adjustment distance selection strategy specifically involves predicting the inkjet printing position at the critical moment based on the displacement amount, displacement direction, and preset interval time, defining the predicted position as the predicted position, calculating the inkjet printing movement distance based on the predicted position and printing range, and subtracting a preset error from the inkjet printing movement distance to obtain the inkjet printing movement distance.

[0017] In this invention, preferably, the position of the adjusting roller on the frame is specifically the position of the adjusting roller axis in a vertical section, and the position of the winding roller is specifically the position of the winding roller axis in a vertical section, wherein the vertical section reflects any section perpendicular to the adjusting roller.

[0018] In this invention, preferably, the frame is formed with a slide groove for the adjusting roller to slide, and a ranging component is provided on the frame. The ranging component measures the position of the axis of the adjusting roller relative to the starting point of the slide groove by means of contact or non-contact principle to obtain the position of the adjusting roller on the frame.

[0019] In this invention, preferably, the control system is equipped with a verification module. The verification module performs verification after the adjustment roller completes the position adjustment to adjust the size of the preset error. The image acquisition module acquires the verification image information and acquires the verification inkjet printing position within the verification image information. If the inkjet printing verification position falls within the printing range, the preset error is reduced by a unit value until the distance between the inkjet printing position and the printing range is less than the preset distance value.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0021] 1. This invention utilizes the combination of an image acquisition module and a strobe element to acquire images of the inkjet printing area under high-speed motion. The image processing module acquires the position of the inkjet printing on the printed object and compares it with a preset printing range. This can be used to monitor the position of the inkjet printing and calculate the adjustment direction and distance of the adjustment roller based on the change in the inkjet printing position, so that the printing position can change accordingly, reducing the generation of waste parts, ensuring the continuous operation of the inkjet printer, and ensuring work efficiency.

[0022] 2. This invention uses a coding recognition step to identify the coding area of ​​an image. The recognition process is simple and highly accurate. The coding positioning step obtains the specific position of the coding area on the printed object. The coding position is represented by the ratio of the length of the distance line segment to the length of the reference edge line. It can obtain relatively accurate data without calculating the actual length of the distance line segment. Furthermore, the setting of the reference edge line eliminates the influence of lens distortion of the image acquisition unit. The entire calculation process is simpler while ensuring the reliability of the data. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] It should be noted that when a component is described as "fixed to" another component, it can be directly on the other component or may have a component in between. When a component is described as "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or may have a component in between. When a component is described as "set on" another component, it can be directly set on the other component or may have a component in between. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.

[0029] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0030] Please also see Figures 1 to 2 This embodiment provides a multi-head high-speed variable data inkjet printer. For specific structural details, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 1 The inkjet printer includes a frame 1, on which are mounted an adjusting roller 2, several winding rollers 3, and several printheads 4. The adjusting roller 2 and winding rollers 3 are used to wind the object to be printed. The object is released from the rightmost winding roller, passes through multiple winding rollers and adjusting rollers, and is output from the left side. The adjusting roller 2 is slidably connected to the frame 1, which has a groove for sliding. A ranging component is mounted on the frame 1. This component measures the position of the adjusting roller 2 relative to the starting point of the groove using contact or non-contact principles to obtain its position on the frame 1. For example, an infrared rangefinder is fixedly connected to the frame 1. The infrared rangefinder's measuring direction is along the length of the groove, and the rangefinder must be directly facing the adjusting roller 2. Therefore, when the adjusting roller 2 moves, the infrared rangefinder can obtain the position of the adjusting roller 2 relative to the frame 1. A linear drive unit is fixedly connected to the frame 1. The linear drive unit drives the adjusting roller 2 to slide on the frame 1 to adjust the position of the object to be printed and the printhead 4. In the same inkjet printer, the positions of each winding roller 3 are relatively fixed and can be obtained by measurement, while the position of the adjusting roller 2 can also be estimated by an infrared rangefinder.

[0031] The inkjet printer is equipped with a control system, which includes an image acquisition module 5, a strobe element 6, an image processing module 7, a displacement prediction module 8, and a verification module 9.

[0032] The image acquisition module and the strobe element need to be positioned facing the object to be printed. The image acquisition module 5 captures an image of the area to be printed and defines it as image information. The strobe element 6 is mounted on the frame 1 and works synchronously with the image acquisition module 5. When the flashing frequency of the strobe element 6 is close to or synchronized with the rotation or movement speed of the object being measured, the surface quality or running condition of the high-speed moving object can be easily observed by utilizing the persistence of vision or video synchronization. This characteristic can be used to acquire images of the object being printed during the high-speed printing process.

[0033] The image processing module 7 has a preset inkjet printing position recognition strategy. The image processing module 7 acquires image information and obtains the inkjet printing position according to the inkjet printing position recognition strategy. The inkjet printing position reflects the position of the inkjet printing on the printed object. The inkjet printing position is compared with the preset printing range. If the inkjet printing position is within the printing range, a standby signal is generated to the strobe element 6 and the image acquisition module 5. If the inkjet printing position exceeds the printing range, an adjustment signal is generated to the linear drive to adjust the printing position. This setting facilitates real-time monitoring of the inkjet printing position and timely adjustments, reducing the generation of defective parts.

[0034] The inkjet printing location recognition strategy includes inkjet printing recognition steps, which include:

[0035] Several line segments are identified in the image information and defined as basic line segments. Two basic line segments that are parallel are defined as a group of parallel line segments. Groups of parallel line segments that are intersecting are defined as reference blocks. The intersection relationship is specifically defined as each basic line segment in one group of parallel line segments intersecting with two basic line segments in another group of parallel line segments. The basic line segments in each reference block are extended to form several closed quadrilateral regions. The quadrilateral region with the largest area is defined as the coding region. The coding region is specifically the area covered by the QR code on the image information.

[0036] The inkjet printing location identification strategy includes an inkjet printing positioning step, which specifically includes:

[0037] The process involves acquiring the coding area, identifying its four vertices, and recognizing the four edges of the object to be printed within the image information. Two edges along the object's transport direction are defined as baseline edges, and the other two are defined as distance judgment edges. Auxiliary line segments parallel to the baseline edges are drawn, intersecting the vertices to form several distance segments. Each distance segment starts at a vertex and ends at the intersection of the auxiliary line segment and the distance judgment edge. The ratio of the distance segment's length to the baseline edge's length is calculated to define the coding position. In the coding positioning step, the coding position is represented by the ratio of the distance segment's length to the baseline edge's length. This eliminates the need to calculate the actual length of the distance segments, providing relatively accurate data. Furthermore, the baseline edge setting eliminates the influence of lens distortion from the image acquisition unit, simplifying the calculation process while ensuring data reliability. The specific coding position consists of eight data points. Each vertex includes two distance segments, for a total of four vertices, resulting in eight data points. The use of eight data points is specifically chosen to account for potential position shifts during the actual printing process, allowing for a more gradual change in vertex data.

[0038] The displacement prediction module 8 controls the strobe element 6 of the image acquisition module to operate at a preset time interval to acquire two image informations sequentially. It identifies and compares the inkjet printing position within the two image informations to calculate the displacement amount and direction. The displacement amount reflects the change in the inkjet printing area position in the two image informations, and the displacement direction reflects the direction of movement of the inkjet printing area in the two image informations. Based on the displacement amount, displacement direction, and preset time interval, a critical moment is predicted. The critical moment indicates the moment when the inkjet printing position is about to exceed the printing position. When the critical moment is reached, the displacement prediction module 8 generates an adjustment signal to the linear drive. This setting specifically aims to reduce the number of operations of the strobe element 6 and the image acquisition unit by extending the interval between the two calculations using a preset time interval. This setting can reduce errors in the measurement process, provide better detection results, and predict the adjustment time of the adjustment roller 2. When the predicted critical moment is reached, the adjustment roller 2 is adjusted, reducing the data processing load of the control system and achieving greater energy efficiency.

[0039] The displacement prediction module 8 is configured with an output distance calculation strategy. This strategy includes obtaining the position of the adjusting roller 2 on the frame 1 to define the current position, and obtaining the radius of the adjusting roller 2, the radius of the winding roller 3, the position of the winding roller 3, and the coding movement distance to calculate the target position. The target position reflects the position of the winding roller 3 on the frame 1 after the linear drive is output. The radius of the winding roller 3 reflects the radius of the two winding rollers 3 adjacent to the adjusting roller 2. The position of the winding roller 3 reflects the position of the two winding rollers 3 adjacent to the adjusting roller 2 on the frame 1. The coding movement distance reflects the length of the printed object moved after the adjusting roller 2 is adjusted. Specifically, the position of the adjusting roller 2 on the frame 1 is the position of its axis within a vertical section. The position of the winding roller 3 is specifically the position of its axis within a vertical section, where the vertical section refers to any section perpendicular to the adjusting roller 2.

[0040] The displacement prediction module 8 is configured with a movement distance calculation strategy, which includes an adjustment direction judgment strategy and an adjustment distance selection strategy. The direction judgment strategy specifically involves obtaining the displacement direction. If the displacement direction is consistent with the conveying direction of the printed object, the linear drive component drives the adjusting roller 2 to move away from the winding roller 3 to increase the distance between the adjusting roller 2 and the adjacent winding roller 3. If the displacement direction is opposite to the conveying direction of the printed object, the linear drive component drives the adjusting roller 2 to move closer to the winding roller 3 to decrease the distance between the adjusting roller 2 and the winding roller 3. For example, according to... Figure 1 If the measured displacement direction is from right to left, it means the inkjet printer position is gradually moving to the left side of the printed object. After adjusting roller 2, the inkjet printer needs to appear on the right side of the image information, which means the printed object needs to move a certain distance to the left. This distance is the inkjet printer movement distance. At this time, adjusting roller 2 should move downward. Conversely, if the measured displacement direction is from left to right, it means the inkjet printer position is gradually moving to the right side of the printed object. After adjusting roller 2, the inkjet printer needs to appear on the left side of the image information, which means the printed object needs to move a certain distance to the left. This distance is the inkjet printer movement distance. At this time, adjusting roller 2 should move upward.

[0041] The adjustment distance selection strategy is as follows: the predicted position is defined as the inkjet printing position at the critical moment based on the displacement amount, displacement direction, and preset interval time. The inkjet printing movement distance is calculated based on the predicted position and the printing range. The inkjet printing movement distance is then subtracted from the preset error to obtain the inkjet printing movement distance. The preset error is set primarily to account for system errors, ensuring the inkjet printing movement distance is slightly less than the actual printing movement distance, preventing the inkjet from exceeding the printing range during a single adjustment. The control system is equipped with a verification module 9. After the adjustment roller 2 completes its position adjustment, the verification module 9 verifies the preset error to adjust its magnitude. The image acquisition module acquires the verification image information and obtains the verification inkjet printing position within the verification image information. If the verified inkjet printing position falls within the printing range, the preset error is reduced by a unit value until the distance between the inkjet printing position and the printing range is less than the preset distance value. The verification module 9 is set primarily to account for discrepancies between the preset error value and the actual situation. Multiple adjustment processes are used to adjust the predicted error value to make it closer to the actual situation.

[0042] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of the present invention's concept are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
