摘要:
A charging phase control device for an ink jet recording device wherein the ink droplets are positively or negatively charged in the recording mode. In the charging phase detection mode an ink droplet charging electrode is so energized that more than two successive ink droplets may be negatively or positively charged and one or more ink droplets which immediately follow said more than two successive, negatively or positively charged ink droplets may be uncharged or positively or negatively charged. The negatively or positively charged ink droplets repel each other and attract the uncharged or positively or negatively charged ink droplets so that they coalesce into large ink droplets. Therefore the distance between an ink head and an ink droplet detection means may be reduced, the ink jet recording or printing device may be made compact in size and light in weight; and ink droplet charging phase may be detected and controlled with a higher degree of accuracy.

An ink jet recording apparatus performs a print operation by controlling an ink jet recording head to eject ink drops there from against front and back surfaces of a recording sheet at a print position. The apparatus includes a transporting mechanism for transporting a portion of the recording sheet to a location outside of the apparatus after a completion of the print operation on the front surface of the recording sheet and just before printing of the back surface of the recording sheet.

A device for detecting viscosity of a liquid which varies with time includes a first tank provided with an overflow section for maintaining a predetermined liquid height, and a second tank fluidly communicated to the first tank and provided with a restricted outlet, or orifice. While a liquid is circulated through the two tanks by a pump, a height sensor which is dipped in the liquid in the second tank senses a liquid height in the tank in terms of capacitance. The output of the height sensor is representative of a viscosity of the liquid.

In multi-nozzle ink jet printing for divisional-printing or color-printing information on a single paper with ink of a same color or of different colors ejected from a plurality of nozzles which are mounted on a carriage, a unique method is provided for the prevention of unregistered printing of an image due to positional deviation between the ink issuing from the respective nozzles with respect to a direction of movement of the carriage. A difference in position between ink drops from the respective nozzles with respect to the direction of carriage movement is detected so as to determine the timings for starting printing with the ink from the respective nozzles based on the detected difference.
摘要:
An ink jet printing apparatus uses as its charge detection means a gutter which is made of a conductive material, insulated from collected ink and grounded through a resistor. A charging electrode is supplied with charging voltage pulses for a phase search intermittently at a predetermined period which is at least two times the period of a drive frequency of ink droplets. The resultant voltage appearing across the resistor is amplified and filtered to pick out a pulse signal of the predetermined period. The resistance of the resistor between the gutter and the ground is preselected to be sufficiently smaller than that of the ink.
摘要:
Considering the fact that a charging voltage and the resultant amount of deflection of an ink droplet are substantially proportional to each other, actual measurement is first made of a charging voltage for causing ink droplets to fly to at least one predetermined deflection position and then, based on the measured voltage, proper charging voltages for driving ink droplets to other deflection positions are computed. Further, more adequate charging voltages are determined taking nozzle compensatory coefficients allotted to individual ink ejection holes of nozzles and/or step compensatory coefficients for individual deflection steps into consideration.
摘要:
Prior to printing, ink drops are ejected from an ink ejection head or nozzle (28) and an amount of deflection is sweepingly varied until the ink drops hit a target (57), thereby providing a reference which compensates for variations in an amount of charge of the ink drops, a deflection voltage and an ink drop velocity. The ink temperature or an ejection pump pressure are sweepingly varied, prior to the deflection sweep operation, until a sensed ink ejection velocity and thereby ink drop mass become equal to a predetermined value to provide a desired printing density or darkness.

A first ultrasonic transducer is normally energized so that the ink jet normally emerging through a nozzle of an ink manifold containing the pressurized ink may break into an ink drop within a charge electrode and the charged ink drop may be deflected by a pair of deflection electrodes so as to travel toward a gutter. In response to the ink-placement signal a second ultrasonic transducer is de-energized when it has been energized in phase or in opposite phase with the first ultrasonic transducer when the second ultrasonic transducer has been de-energized so that the formation of each ink drop may occur outside of the charge electrode and the uncharged ink drop may travel to strike against a recording medium.
