Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of inkjet printer control, and in particular to an intelligent control system for inkjet printers based on the Internet of Things. Background Art

[0002] The inkjet speed of traditional inkjet printers is often a pre-set fixed value, which cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the actual product transmission speed of the production line. In the actual production process, the product transmission speed of the production line may change due to factors such as changes in production plans, restarting after equipment failure repairs, or production requirements of different batches of products. When the product transmission speed increases, if the inkjet printer still runs at the original fixed inkjet speed, it may cause problems such as missing inkjet codes or inaccurate inkjet positions; conversely, when the product transmission speed slows down, it may cause waste of inkjet resources and unstable inkjet quality, such as ink accumulation and unclear inkjet lines.

[0003] In addition, the quality of inkjet printing is significantly affected by the temperature of the nozzle and the pressure of the ink. It is difficult for traditional inkjet printers to accurately monitor and automatically adjust the temperature and pressure of the nozzle in real time during operation. Too high or too low nozzle temperature will affect the ink jetting effect, and thus affect the quality of inkjet printing, for example, it may cause defects such as uneven thickness of the inkjet lines, different shades of color, or breakpoints. Similarly, unstable ink pressure can also cause similar inkjet quality problems. For example, too high pressure may cause excessive ink jetting, and too low pressure may cause insufficient or discontinuous ink jetting. However, traditional inkjet printers lack effective means to establish an accurate relationship model between nozzle temperature, ink pressure and inkjet quality, and cannot optimize the inkjet quality in real time based on changes in these key factors. They usually require regular manual inspections and manual adjustments, which is not only inefficient, but also difficult to ensure the timeliness and accuracy of adjustments, and cannot meet the needs of modern large-scale, high-precision production.

[0004] Based on the above background, there is an urgent need for an intelligent control system that can dynamically adjust the coding speed according to the product conveying speed of the production line, and can monitor the nozzle temperature and ink pressure in real time to ensure the coding quality, so as to improve the adaptability, reliability and efficiency of the inkjet printer in industrial production.

[0018] When V product <V standard ,Right now When the product transmission speed is slower than the standard speed, the current inkjet speed will be reduced based on the preset basic inkjet speed.

[0019] When V product =V standard , it means that the product transmission speed is consistent with the standard speed, and the current coding speed will not be adjusted based on the pre-set basic coding speed.

[0020] As a further solution of the present invention: in Step A3, the corresponding adjustment formula is:

[0030] Calculate different nozzle temperature values ​​T i The corresponding average value of the coding quality score Q Ti ;

[0031] Among them, when i=1, then Q Ti It is expressed as the average value of the coding quality score corresponding to a nozzle temperature value;

[0032] Step 1.5, use the polynomial fitting method to establish the relationship between the nozzle temperature and the average value of the coding quality index;

[0035] In the formula, a0, a1, a2, ... a k The coefficients of the corresponding polynomial when establishing the relationship between the nozzle temperature and the average value of the coding quality index;

[0036] Step 1.6, use the least squares method to determine the coefficient value of the polynomial;

[0037] Among them, the goal of the least squares method is to minimize the sum of squared errors;

[0038] Right now: ;

[0039] Then, the relationship model between the nozzle temperature and the coding quality score is determined based on the coefficient value of the polynomial;

[0040] Its relational model is expressed as:

[0041] ;

[0042] Step 2: Constructing the relationship model between ink pressure and coding quality:

[0043] The relationship model between ink pressure and inkjet quality is established in accordance with the establishment method of the relationship model between nozzle temperature and inkjet quality;

[0044] Its relationship model is through: express;

[0045] In the formula, b0, b1, b2, ... b k The coefficients of the corresponding polynomial when establishing the relationship model between ink pressure and coding quality;

[0046] Step 3: Determine the optimal nozzle temperature based on the nozzle temperature model:

[0047] Extract the pre-set coding quality standard score value and mark it as Q target ;

[0048] Then, it is substituted into the relationship model between nozzle temperature and coding quality, and the optimal nozzle temperature corresponding to the coding quality standard score is obtained;

[0049] Among them, the equation corresponding to the optimal nozzle temperature and the coding quality standard score in the relationship model is as follows:

[0050] ;

[0051] Where, T adjust is the optimal nozzle temperature;

[0052] By solving the equation corresponding to the optimal nozzle temperature and the coding quality standard score, the optimal nozzle temperature corresponding to the coding quality standard score is obtained;

[0053] Step 4: Compare the current nozzle temperature with the optimal value and calculate the adjustment value:

[0054] Get the current nozzle temperature and mark it as T1;

[0055] Then the current nozzle temperature T1 is compared with the optimal nozzle temperature T adjust Compare and calculate the nozzle temperature T1 and the optimal nozzle temperature T adjust The absolute value of the difference between them is used as the temperature adjustment value;

[0056] Step 5: Determine the optimal ink pressure based on the ink pressure model:

[0060] ;

[0061] Where P adjust is the optimal ink pressure;

[0062] By solving the equation corresponding to the optimal ink pressure and the coding quality standard score, the optimal ink pressure corresponding to the coding quality standard score is obtained;

[0063] Step 6. Compare the current ink pressure with the optimal value and calculate the adjustment value:

[0065] Then the current ink pressure P1 is compared with the optimal ink pressure P adjust Compare and calculate the ink pressure P1 and the optimal ink pressure Padjust The absolute value of the difference between them is used as the pressure adjustment value.

[0066] As a further solution of the present invention: wherein, the coding quality score value is determined by the coding line deviation rate.

[0067] As a further solution of the present invention: the deviation value of the coding line is obtained as follows:

[0068] Step 1.3.1, obtain the preset required width of the coding line and record it as Wy;

[0070] Step1.3.2, through:

[0071] ;

[0072] Calculate the coding quality score PT;

[0073] In the formula, It is the deviation rate of the coding line between the required coding line width and the actual coding line width.

[0074] As a further solution of the present invention: in the fourth step, when T1<T adjust -β T When , it indicates that the current nozzle temperature is low, and a temperature increase signal is generated. The temperature increase signal is used to combine the temperature adjustment value, and the control module adjusts the heating device disposed on the nozzle to restore the nozzle temperature to the optimal nozzle temperature;

[0075] When T1>T adjust +β T When , it indicates that the current nozzle temperature is high, and a temperature adjustment signal is generated. The temperature adjustment signal is used to combine the temperature adjustment value, and the control module adjusts the cooling device set on the nozzle to restore the nozzle temperature to the optimal nozzle temperature;

[0076] When T adjust -β T ≤T1≤T adjust +β T , it means that the current nozzle temperature is moderate and no corresponding temperature adjustment signal is generated;

[0077] In the formula, β T It is a supplementary factor preset according to the nozzle temperature.

[0078] As a further solution of the present invention: In the sixth step, when P1<P adjust -β PWhen , it indicates that the current ink pressure is low, and a pressure increase signal is generated. The pressure increase signal is used to combine the pressure adjustment value and adjust the working state of the ink pressure pump through the control module to restore the ink pressure to the optimal working pressure;

[0079] When P1>P adjust +β P When , it indicates that the current ink pressure is high, and a pressure reduction signal is generated. The pressure reduction signal is used to combine with the pressure adjustment value, and the working state of the ink pressure pump is adjusted through the control module to restore the ink pressure to the optimal working pressure;

[0080] When P adjust -β P ≤P1≤P adjust +β P When , it means that the current ink pressure is moderate and no corresponding pressure adjustment signal is generated;

[0081] In the formula, β P A supplementary factor preset based on ink pressure.

[0082] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0083] Adapt to production rhythm: By dynamically adjusting the inkjet speed parameters according to the product transmission speed data of the production line, the inkjet speed can be matched with the product transmission speed. When the product transmission speed is fast, the inkjet speed is increased accordingly, and when the transmission speed is slow, the inkjet speed is reduced. When the product transmission speed is consistent with the standard speed, the inkjet speed is kept unchanged, which effectively avoids problems such as inkjet omissions or poor inkjet effects caused by speed mismatch, and ensures that the inkjet work can be completed accurately and efficiently under different production rhythms.

[0084] Accurately determine the adjustment speed: With the help of the preset product transmission speed standard value, the pre-set basic inkjet speed and the preset speed adjustment coefficient, the adjusted current inkjet speed can be accurately calculated through a specific adjustment formula, which improves the scientificity and accuracy of the inkjet speed adjustment.

[0085] Comprehensively guarantee the quality of inkjet printing: Comprehensively consider the two factors that have an important impact on the quality of inkjet printing, namely nozzle temperature and ink pressure, and establish the relationship model between nozzle temperature and inkjet printing quality, as well as the relationship model between ink pressure and inkjet printing quality. The quality of inkjet printing is controlled from multiple key dimensions, which comprehensively guarantees the stability and consistency of the quality of inkjet printing.

[0086] Accurately determine the best parameters: Use scientific experimental methods and reasonable mathematical fitting methods to accurately determine the best nozzle temperature and ink pressure, providing a reliable reference standard for adjusting the coding quality.

[0087] Real-time feedback and automatic adjustment: By comparing the current nozzle temperature and ink pressure with the optimal values, it can determine in real time whether to generate corresponding temperature adjustment signals and pressure adjustment signals, and determine the specific temperature adjustment values ​​and pressure adjustment values. Then, with the help of the control execution unit, the nozzle temperature and ink pressure are automatically adjusted, realizing real-time monitoring and automatic optimization of the coding quality, reducing the errors and lags of manual intervention, and greatly improving the coding quality and the intelligence of the entire coding work.

[0088] In general, the intelligent control system can improve the adaptability, accuracy and coding quality of the inkjet printer during operation, realize the intelligent and efficient management and control of the inkjet printer operation, and ensure the stability and high-quality development of the product coding process on the production line.
