[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, a common heating system for a nozzle includes an optocoupler circuit, a transistor Q1, a relay, and a dual-series switching diode. The input of the optocoupler circuit is connected to an external power supply and a temperature sensor. The output of the optocoupler circuit is connected to the base (B) of the transistor Q1. The collector (C) of the transistor Q1 is connected to the first interface of the relay through a resistor R4. The second and fifth interfaces of the relay are both connected to the power supply. The fourth interface of the relay is connected to the input of the dual-series switching diode. A heating element is externally connected to the output of the dual-series switching diode. This invention employs optocoupler isolation, transistor Q1 driving, relay, and dual-series switching diode control to achieve safe operation of a high-voltage heating circuit under low-voltage control. The circuit is simple and low-cost, and also serves to protect the circuit. It is safe and reliable: the use of optocoupler control for direction and pulse signals provides stronger anti-interference and EMC capabilities; the relay is connected in parallel with a dual-series switching diode to prevent circuit breakdown. The system is simple to use and control, and the components are flexible.

[0020] In this embodiment, the optocoupler circuit includes resistor R3, resistor R5, capacitor C2, optocoupler, resistor R2, capacitor C1, resistor R6, and resistor R7. The first interface of the optocoupler is grounded through resistor R5 and capacitor C2, respectively. The third interface of the optocoupler is grounded through resistor R7. The third interface of the optocoupler is connected to the base (B) of transistor Q1 through resistor R6. The fourth interface of the optocoupler is connected to the power supply through resistor R2. The fourth interface of the optocoupler is connected to the power supply through capacitor C1.

[0021] Specifically, this utility model uses a PS2801C-1-F3 optocoupler. When the control terminal outputs a high level, current flows through the LED inside the optocoupler, the LED emits light, and the phototransistor (output side) inside the optocoupler conducts after receiving the light, forming a current path; thus achieving electrical isolation between the input and output, preventing interference or high voltage from entering the control terminal.

[0022] This design uses a 2SD2655 transistor Q1. After the output side of the optocoupler is turned on, the current flows from the power supply through the output terminal of the optocoupler to the base resistor of the transistor, and then to the base of the transistor, causing the NPN transistor to saturate and conduct, thereby amplifying the output current of the optocoupler and providing sufficient driving capability to the relay coil. After transistor Q1 is turned on, the relay coil is energized, generating a magnetic field to attract the contacts, thereby connecting or disconnecting the external load circuit.

[0023] This design uses the SRD-24VDC-SL-C conversion C-type relay, which is small in size, has multiple load options, and can meet ambient temperatures of +85℃ / +105℃. When the coil is energized, 24V is applied to the coil, the electromagnet generates a magnetic field, the armature is attracted, the load circuit is connected, and the external high voltage / high current circuit is energized and works. When the coil is de-energized, the magnetic field disappears, the armature is reset under the action of the spring, and the load is de-energized.

[0024] This design uses BAV99 dual series switching diodes. When the control terminal outputs a low level, the LED of the optocoupler is turned off, the internal phototransistor is cut off, and then the base current of transistor Q1 returns to zero, transistor Q1 is cut off, the relay coil is de-energized, the contacts are reset, and at the moment transistor Q1 is turned off, the reverse electromotive force generated by the relay coil is discharged through the dual series switching diodes, preventing the protection circuit from being broken down.

[0025] The working principle of this design is as follows: Before the system is started, different temperature values ​​can be set according to the different viscosities of the ink. When the system temperature is 0.5℃ lower than the set temperature value, the system will start heating. When the system temperature is 0.5℃ higher than the set temperature value, the system will stop heating.

[0026] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
