DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] It should be clear that the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0018] The terms used in the embodiments of the present application are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the present application. The singular forms "a", "an", "the" and "the" used in the embodiments of the present application and the appended claims are also intended to include plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0019] It should be understood that the term "and / or" as used herein simply describes a relationship between associated objects, indicating that three possible relationships exist. For example, "A and / or B" can represent: A alone, A and B together, or B alone. Furthermore, the character " / " in this document generally indicates an "or" relationship between the associated objects.

[0020] See also Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of the structure of an inkjet printing device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The inkjet printing device includes an ink carriage 11, a print head, and an ink carriage guide 12. The print head is mounted on the ink carriage 11, which is in turn mounted on the ink carriage guide 12. The ink carriage 11 is driven by a motor and moves along the ink carriage guide 12. By controlling the movement of the ink carriage 11 and the ink ejection action of the print head, an image is formed on a printing medium (such as paper).

[0021] The image printed on paper by an inkjet printer is composed of multiple ink dots arranged in a certain pattern. During the printing process, the inkjet printer needs to move the ink carriage 11 back and forth to print. To speed up printing, the ink carriage 11 will only move in the area where the pattern or text is printed. For most documents, the document content is mainly distributed on the left side of the document. For example, for documents with a large amount of single-line text, the text content is mainly on the left side of the document. For example, when printing chat screenshots, financial records, shopping lists, or advertising leaflets, the printed content is also mainly on the left side of the document. Because the document content is mainly on the left side of the document, when the inkjet printer prints, the ink carriage 11 will also mainly move on the left side of the ink carriage guide 12, and rarely move to the other side of the ink carriage guide 12. If the inkjet printer is in this use condition for a long time, it will cause greater wear on one side of the ink carriage guide 12 and less wear on the other side, affecting the service life of the ink carriage guide 12 and, in turn, the overall life of the inkjet printer.

[0022] In order to balance the wear on the left and right sides of the ink carriage guide rail 12, an embodiment of the present invention provides an image formation control method, which balances the wear on the left and right sides of the ink carriage guide rail 12 by adjusting the printing bias of the printing task, thereby reducing the overall wear rate of the ink carriage guide rail 12, increasing the service life of the ink carriage guide rail 12, and thus increasing the service life of the inkjet printing equipment.

[0023] See also Figure 2 , is a flow chart of an image formation control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the processing steps of the method include: 201, obtain the print task.

[0024] A print task includes a target job, which is a document to be printed. In this embodiment of the present invention, the document content to be printed on paper related to the target job is referred to as print image data. Optionally, the print task may include printing N rounds of the target job, where N is greater than or equal to 2. This means that multiple rounds of the target job need to be printed. It can be understood that printing multiple rounds of the target job means printing multiple copies of the target job.

[0025] 202, determine the printing direction of the image data in the printing task. If the printing direction is toward the first side of the inking guide rail, execute step 203; if the printing direction is not toward the first side of the inking guide rail, directly execute the printing task.

[0026] The ink carriage guide rail is usually divided into left and right sides. The first side refers to one side of the ink carriage guide rail, which can be the left side or the right side of the ink carriage guide rail. The second side is the side opposite to the first side. When the first side is the left side of the ink carriage guide rail, the second side is the right side of the ink carriage guide rail; when the first side is the right side of the ink carriage guide rail, the second side is the left side of the ink carriage guide rail. In the embodiment of the present invention, the first side is the side with more printed image data relative to the second side data. It can also be understood that the first side is the side where the ink carriage moves more relative to the second side during printing. Figure 3 As shown, according to the left-to-right and top-to-bottom layout method, the print image data in the print task is usually biased to the left side. Therefore, optionally, the first side is the left side of the inking guide rail. Of course, if the print task adopts other layout methods so that the print image data is biased to the right, the first side is the right side of the inking guide rail.

[0027] In some embodiments, determining a printing bias for the image data in a print task may include determining the printing bias for the image data based on user input. For example, when issuing a print task, the user sets a printing bias for the image data, such as setting the printing bias for the image data to the left or right side, where the left or right side corresponds to a first side of the ink carriage guide rail.

[0028] In other embodiments, the method for determining the printing bias of the print portrait data in the print task can also be: determining it based on the print portrait data in the print task. Specifically, based on the print portrait data in the print task, the first cumulative movement number of the ink carriage on the first side of the ink carriage guide rail and the second cumulative movement number are determined, and the printing bias is determined based on the first cumulative movement number and the second cumulative movement number. The print portrait data can be split into multiple lines, each line corresponding to a print line, and a print line corresponds to a movement process of the inking carriage on the inking carriage guide rail. During one movement process, the inking carriage prints from the starting point of the print line to the end point of the print line, and the distance from the starting point to the end point of a print line corresponds to the travel distance of the inking carriage. Based on the travel distance of the inking carriage in each print line, the first cumulative movement number of the inking carriage on the first side of the ink carriage guide rail and the second cumulative movement number of the inking carriage on the second side can be accumulated.

[0029] In some embodiments, if the ink carriage is in the printing state and the distance it travels in a printing line is less than or equal to a first threshold, the first cumulative number of movements is accumulated once; if the ink carriage is in the printing state and the distance it travels in a printing line is greater than or equal to a second threshold, the second cumulative number of movements is accumulated once. Of course, the distance the ink carriage travels in a printing line can also be multiplied by a certain coefficient and then compared with the first threshold or the second threshold. Optionally, the first threshold and the second threshold can be determined based on the length of the ink carriage guide rail, and the first threshold and the second threshold can clearly distinguish the left and right sides of the ink carriage guide rail. In a specific example, the length of the ink carriage guide rail is a, the first threshold is a / 3, and the second threshold is 2a / 3. When the distance x the ink carriage travels in a printing line is less than or equal to a / 3, the first cumulative number of movements is accumulated once; when the distance x the ink carriage travels in a printing line is greater than 2a / 3, the second cumulative number of movements is accumulated once. Of course, the distance the ink carriage travels in a printing line can also be multiplied by a certain coefficient, for example, the coefficient is 70%, that is, when the distance x the ink carriage travels in a printing line is less than or equal to a / 3, the first cumulative number of movements is accumulated once; when the distance x the ink carriage travels in a printing line is greater than 2a / 3, the second cumulative number of movements is accumulated once. When 70% is less than or equal to a / 3, the first cumulative movement times are accumulated once; when the ink carriage travels a distance x in a printing line, When 70% is greater than 2a / 3, the second cumulative movement number is accumulated once, so that the printing bias can be more clearly distinguished through the first cumulative movement number and the second cumulative movement number.

[0030] In some embodiments, the first cumulative movement times and the second cumulative movement times are statistics of the print image data of the current print task. When the print task is to print multiple rounds of target jobs, only the print bias of one round of print image data may be counted.

[0031] In some embodiments, the first cumulative movement count and the second cumulative movement count are calculated starting from the time the inkjet printing device leaves the factory. Specifically, the movement count of the current print task is added to the historical cumulative movement count of the inkjet printing device. For example, if the number of movements of the inkjet printing device on the first side accumulated since leaving the factory is the first historical cumulative movement count y1, and the number of movements of the current print task on the first side is n1, then the first cumulative movement count Y1 = y1 + n1. Similarly, if the number of movements of the inkjet printing device on the second side accumulated since leaving the factory is the second historical cumulative movement count y2, and the number of movements of the current print task on the second side is n2, then the first cumulative movement count Y2 = y2 + n2.

[0032] In some embodiments, when the difference between the first cumulative number of movements and the second cumulative number of movements is greater than a specified value, it is determined that printing is biased toward the first side of the inking guide rail. Alternatively, when the first cumulative number of movements is m times the second cumulative number of movements, it is determined that printing is biased toward the first side of the inking guide rail, where m is greater than or equal to 2.

[0033] 203 , after adjusting the printing bias of the printing task according to the preset rule, execute step 204 .

[0034] 204 , executing the adjusted printing task.

[0035] In the above method of the embodiment of the present invention, when the print image data in the print task has an obvious bias, such as biased to the left or right, the print bias is adjusted; if there is no obvious bias, the print task is directly executed.

[0036] Adjusting the printing bias according to a preset rule may include adjusting the printing bias according to the degree of wear on the left and right sides of the inking wheel guide rail. Optionally, the printing bias of the printed data before the adjustment is the first side, and the printing bias of the printed data after the adjustment is the second side. That is, after the printing bias is adjusted, the movement direction of the inking wheel changes from primarily moving on the first side to primarily moving on the second side, and the friction of the inking wheel on the inking wheel guide rail also changes from primarily moving on the first side to primarily moving on the second side, thereby achieving the effect of balancing the friction between the left and right sides of the inking wheel guide rail.

[0037] In some embodiments, the printing task includes: printing multiple rounds of target jobs; Figure 4 As shown, when printing is biased towards the first side, the printing bias of the printing task is adjusted according to preset rules, including: setting the odd rounds of the target job to forward output of the printing portrait data, and setting the even rounds to reverse output of the printing portrait data, wherein, by reversely outputting the printing portrait data of the even rounds, the printing bias of the printing portrait data can be adjusted from the first side to the second side, that is, the left side wear of the ink carriage guide rail is adjusted to the right side wear, thereby balancing the wear on the left and right sides of the ink carriage guide rail.

[0038] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the even-numbered rounds are set to reverse output of the print portrait data, specifically including: rotating the print portrait data of the target job 180 degrees clockwise for print output. Among them, the print portrait data can be rotated 180 degrees clockwise with the center point of the page as a reference, that is, the print portrait data is processed with center symmetry before printing out. After the print portrait data is processed with center symmetry, the print bias of the print portrait data is adjusted from the first side to the second side, that is, the print data-heavy area is adjusted from the first side of the ink carriage guide rail to the second side of the ink carriage guide rail. Specifically, the print bias is adjusted from the left side of the ink carriage guide rail to the right side, or the print bias is adjusted from the right side of the ink carriage guide rail to the left side. As Figure 5 As shown, the image data for forward output and reverse output are centrally symmetrical. When the inkjet printing device outputs image data in the forward direction, it first prints the header, then prints from the first to the last line of the text, and finally prints the page number. When outputting image data in the reverse direction, it first prints the page number, then prints from the last to the first line of the text, and finally prints the header. The image is symmetrical with the center of the forward direction. In this way, reverse output does not affect the printing effect, and the user can obtain a printed manuscript by adjusting the paper direction. Thus, by adjusting the print bias, the friction rate of the left and right ink carriage guide rails can be balanced without affecting the printing effect.

[0039] Using this approach, after the inkjet printer completes its current print run, it will process the target job symmetrically in the next print run. This shifts the most heavily printed area to the right side of the document, concentrating wear on the inker rails on the right side. Simultaneously, the left side of the inker rails is cooled. This approach balances wear on the inker rails and extends the life of the inkjet printer.

[0040] In some embodiments, when the target job has a small number of pages, even if there is a printing bias, the wear and tear on the ink carriage rails during the printing process is relatively limited. If the image data is output in the forward direction for odd rounds and in the reverse direction for even rounds, and the output direction of the image data is frequently changed, the inkjet printing device will consume a large amount of power. Therefore, the preset rules of the embodiment of the present invention also include: determining whether the number of pages of the target job is greater than the preset number of pages. When the number of pages of the target job is greater than the preset number of pages, it means that the target job has a large number of pages, and multiple rounds of printing will affect the wear and tear of the ink carriage rails. Therefore, the odd rounds of the target job are set to output the image data in the forward direction, and the even rounds are set to output the image data in the reverse direction, that is, one copy of the target job is printed in the forward direction, one copy of the target job is printed in the reverse direction, and then one copy of the target job is printed in the forward direction, until the number of copies of the target job reaches the number of copies set in the task. On the other hand, when the number of pages of the target job is less than or equal to the preset number of pages, the print image data of the target job can be directly output in reverse, that is, when the number of pages of the target job is small and there is a printing bias, the target job will be output in reverse in each round of printing. In this way, the processing consumption caused by alternating switching of the printing bias of each round can be avoided, and the impact of the forward and reverse output of the printed paper in each round on the user experience can be avoided. Moreover, in each round of printing, the side with more print data is allocated to the side where the guide rail moves less for printing, which can also balance the wear on the left and right sides of the ink carriage guide rail.

[0041] In some embodiments, when a user issues a print task, a prompt may pop up, prompting the user to enable the print orientation adjustment function. After the user confirms the function, a direction adjustment instruction is issued, which adjusts the print orientation of the image data in the print task. That is, after the user confirms the function, the user can then adjust the print orientation of the image data and perform the printing operation according to the method of the embodiments of the present invention, thereby avoiding inconsistent print orientations that could affect the user experience.

[0042] Furthermore, the inkjet printing device also includes a waste ink tank, in which a sponge is provided. In the event of abnormal ink jetting from the print head, the inkjet printing device is required to perform a nozzle cleaning operation. Figure 7 As shown, the process of cleaning the print head of the inkjet printing device includes: the print head moves to the center of the waste ink tank area, and the print head controls all nozzles to start spraying ink until the number of sprays meets the set conditions; then, the print head returns to the standby area to wait for the next action. Figure 7In the cleaning process shown, the print head sprays a certain amount of ink into the waste ink tank. When the water in the ink evaporates, the remaining solid ink particles will solidify on the sponge. When the ink is sprayed into the waste ink tank a certain number of times, the sponge in the area where the ink is sprayed more will bulge. When the waste ink on the sponge bulges to a certain extent, the print head will come into contact with the waste ink when it moves to this area. Not only will it be impossible to clean the print head, it will also cause the print head to be contaminated, and the service life of the waste ink tank will reach the end. Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the clumps of waste ink in the waste ink bin, which has reached the end of its useful life, are mainly concentrated in the middle of the sponge, while there is almost no waste ink around the sponge. This indicates that the waste ink bin sponge is not being fully utilized. In other words, the utilization rate of the sponge in the waste ink bin is the highest in the center, and gradually decreases as it radiates outward.

[0043] The present invention provides a technology that fully utilizes the idle capacity of the waste ink bin sponge by moving left and right above the waste ink bin area and performing waste ink related actions (such as deep cleaning) during the movement, thereby reducing the height of waste ink solidification and accumulation, and ultimately extending the service life of the waste ink bin. Among them, the deep cleaning process of the print head performed by the inkjet printing device in the embodiment of the present invention is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, it includes: the waste ink tank includes a first side boundary close to the print head and a second side boundary away from the print head. The print head moves to the inside of the waste ink tank area, and the print hole of the print head close to the first side boundary of the waste ink tank is as close to the boundary as possible without crossing the boundary. Afterwards, the print head moves toward the second side boundary of the waste ink tank, and during the movement, each print nozzle is controlled to continuously spray ink to clean the print nozzle. When a print nozzle moves close to the second side boundary of the waste ink tank, the print head stops spraying ink to prevent the ink from spraying out of the boundary. The print head starts to move in the opposite direction and starts to spray ink. When a print nozzle moves close to the first side boundary of the waste ink tank, the print head stops spraying ink. This is repeated multiple times until the number of times the print head sprays ink meets the predetermined requirement. Afterwards, the print head stops spraying ink and moves to the standby area to wait for subsequent actions.

[0044] The nozzle cleaning method of the embodiment of the present invention significantly improves the utilization rate of the waste ink tank sponge, extends the service life of the waste ink tank, reduces the risk of the printing nozzle being contaminated in the waste ink tank, and the waste ink will be absorbed and fixed by the foam more quickly.
