AI Technical Summary
During inkjet printing, the actual ink ejection volume of the printhead may differ from the predetermined ejection volume, which increases the difficulty of detection. Furthermore, it is difficult to accurately detect the actual ink ejection volume when the printhead is clogged or not flowing smoothly.
An inkjet detection structure is provided, including a detection panel for an inkjet detection area and a test spray area. The actual spray volume of the printhead is detected by a weighing tray and a weighing scale. The printhead is first sprayed in the test spray area until it is smooth before being detected in the inkjet detection area to obtain an accurate actual spray volume.
It improves the accuracy of inkjet volume detection, can correct deviations in the printhead's predetermined ejection volume, and ensures precise control of printhead inkjet output.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of inkjet detection. More particularly, the present application relates to an inkjet detection structure and an inkjet device. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of inkjet printing, it is usually necessary to spray ink onto a product to be inked (such as a wafer) by a nozzle to implement an inkjet printing job.
[0003] In an inkjet printing job, a predetermined spraying amount is usually set for the nozzle, and then the nozzle is controlled to spray according to the predetermined spraying amount. However, a problem arises in that the actual amount of ink sprayed by the nozzle is not always consistent with the predetermined spraying amount, and sometimes deviates, thereby affecting the effect of the inkjet job.
[0004] If the deviation is to be corrected, the actual spraying amount of the nozzle needs to be detected for comparison with the predetermined spraying amount, and then error correction processing is performed.
[0005] However, in the process of detecting the actual spraying amount of the nozzle, the nozzle may be blocked or not smooth when spraying ink, which leads to the phenomenon that the actual ink spraying amount cannot be accurately detected, increasing the difficulty of detection work. At present, there is no effective solution to this problem, and it is therefore an urgent problem to be solved. SUMMARY

[0057] Since the inkjet head may be blocked or not fluent when spraying ink, it is difficult to detect the actual inkjet amount. Therefore, before spraying ink in the inkjet detection area 101, the inkjet head sprays ink in the test spraying area 102, and then the inkjet detection is performed in the inkjet detection area 101 after no adverse phenomenon, which is beneficial to the implementation of the detection operation. Specifically, the inkjet detection structure 10 of the embodiments of the present application is provided with the detection panel 100 having the inkjet detection area 101 and the test spraying area 102, so that the inkjet head can be sprayed towards the test spraying area 102 first, and then the ink is sprayed towards the weighing tray 110 in the inkjet detection area 101 after the ink is fluent, so that the actual ink sprayed by the inkjet head can be obtained, and the accurate actual spraying amount can be detected by the weighing scale 120.
