摘要:
In a printing device employing a solenoid (116) for driving a printing hammer (110), provided are switching member (126) for ON/OFF operating electric current flowing through the solenoid coil (116), voltage generating member (128) for generating voltage in accordance with the electric current, converting member (130) for converting the generated voltage to a digital value, chopping member (134) for comparing the converted digital value with a predetermined comparison value, while for turning on the switching member (126) when the converted value is smaller than the predetermined comparison value and turning off the switching member (126) when the converted value is larger than the predetermined comparison value, another chopping member for alternatively turning the switching member in another predetermined interval shorter than the predetermined interval, when the set value becomes similar to the comparison value, during said predetermined interval. Thus, the current deviation at each of the solenoid driving period are controlled to be limited in the desired range.

Thus, the current flowed through the solenoid is controlled so as not to be largely varied.
摘要:
A drive circuit for driving a wire dot print head including a driving coil (5), a lever (6) for causing a print wire (7) to strike a platen (16) under the action of the driving coil, a spring member (12) for urging the lever (6) to an initial position, and a damper member (13) for absorbing kinetic energy of the lever when it returns to the initial position, comprises a circuit (30, 32, 40, 50) for causing current to flow through the driving coil (5) when the lever (6) is returning to the initial position after having struck the platen (16) in the case where the temperature of the print head is outside a set temperature range. Thus, in operation, a braking force is applied to the lever (6) as it returns to the initial position.
