Referring to Fig. 1, existing a kind of color inkjet printer has casing 11, and ink-jet printer shown in Figure 1 has omitted the supporting plate of casing 11.Be provided with the movement 12 of ink-jet printer in the casing 11, and be provided with a slide bar 20, print word car 14 and under the drive of motor (invisible among Fig. 1), move back and forth along slide bar 20.Print in the word car 14 and be provided with keyset (invisible among Fig. 1), keyset is electrically connected with movement 12 through winding displacement 13.Print word car 14 and have cavity, a plurality of print cartridges 15 removably are installed in the cavity, accommodate the ink of different colours in the different print cartridges 15.
Referring to Fig. 2, print cartridge 15 has housing 16, and housing 16 surrounds the cavity that holds ink, and the lower end of cavity is provided with ink outlet port 17, and the ink in the cavity flows out through ink outlet port 17, and to the ink supply pin ink supply of printing word car 14.
On the outer wall of print cartridge 15 housings 16 chip piece 18 is installed, chip 18 has substrate, and a side of substrate is provided with a plurality of electric contacts 19, be used for being electrically connected with keyset, and electric contact 19 comprises a plurality of communication contacts and two detection contacts.The opposite side of substrate is provided with the electronic module (invisible among Fig. 2) that is electrically connected with electric contact 19.
Referring to Fig. 3, electronic module is provided with memory 21 and control module 22, and control module 22 receives the signal that ink-jet printer sends through communication contact, and judges the order of these signal representatives, operate accordingly according to command execution simultaneously, as read and write data etc.
Memory 21 stores the information relevant with print cartridge; Comprise variable information and fixed information; Variable information is the information that constantly changes with the printing meeting; Like the ink surplus, print information such as duration, fixed information is the information that can not change with printing, like print cartridge model, suitable ink-jet printer model, ink color etc.
More existing print cartridges are provided with piezoelectric transducer at ink outlet port 17 places, and piezoelectric transducer is connected with the detection contact, and receives the signal of telecommunication that ink-jet printer sends.
After print cartridge 15 is installed to the printing word car 14 of ink-jet printer; Ink-jet printer powers on for chip 18; Just send signal to electronic module through communication contact; And read the data that are stored in chip 18 memories 21, judge whether print cartridge 15 models are suitable, print cartridge 15 interior residual ink amount abundance etc. whether.Have only judge in the suitable and print cartridge 15 of print cartridge 15 models sufficient ink is arranged after, ink-jet printer could be carried out print job.
Ink-jet printer will calculate print cartridge 15 amount of ink remaining after carrying out a printing, and the ink surplus data of upgrading are written in the memory 21.Therefore, ink-jet printer need read the ink surplus data of storage in the chip 18 before each execution printing, to confirm that sufficient ink is arranged in the print cartridge.
In addition; The detection contact that ink-jet printer also passes through chip 18 is to the piezoelectric transducer output AC signal of telecommunication; Because piezoelectric transducer will shake and produce the signal of certain frequency of oscillation after receiving ac signal; When piezoelectric transducer shook in air, frequency of oscillation was higher, and in liquid when vibrations frequency of oscillation lower.Therefore, when in the ink outlet port 17 ink being arranged, the frequency of oscillation of piezoelectric transducer is lower, and when ink outlet port 17 did not have ink, the frequency of oscillation of piezoelectric transducer was higher.Ink-jet printer further judges whether have sufficient ink to carry out printing in the print cartridge through detecting piezoelectric transducer.And, when the frequency of oscillation of judgement piezoelectric transducer is higher during ink-jet printer, will send alarm signal, the prompting user changes print cartridge.

Print the word car and have cavity, a plurality of print cartridges are releasably attached in the cavity.Each print cartridge has a housing, and housing surrounds the cavity that holds ink, and the lower end of cavity is provided with ink outlet port, and the ink in the cavity flows out through ink outlet port.
On outer wall of the housing of print cartridge chip piece is installed, chip has a substrate, and substrate one side toward the outer side is provided with a plurality of electric contacts as communication unit, be used for keyset on electric contact be connected.A part is a communication contact in the electric contact on the chip substrate; Be used to realize the exchanges data of chip and inkjet printing machine core; The electric contact of another part is to detect the contact, is used to receive the ac signal of ink-jet printer output, and returns AC signal to ink-jet printer.Certainly, if be radio communication between ink-jet printer and the consumable chip, then the communication contact in the communication unit can be the antenna that is used for radio communication.
Substrate is provided with electronic module towards the one side of inboard, and the electrical schematic diagram of electronic module is as shown in Figure 4.Be provided with memory 31, control module 32 and piezoelectric signal in the electronic module and produce circuit 33; Control module 32 can be used for receiving the signal that ink-jet printer sends; And carry out accordingly and order; Memory 31 is used to store print cartridge and the relevant data of ink, comprises holding in ink color, the print cartridge ink surplus etc. in print cartridge model, suitable ink-jet printer model, the print cartridge.Certainly, the data of ink surplus each carry out printing after, upgrade and be written in the memory 31 by ink-jet printer.
Piezoelectric signal produces circuit 33 and has triode T1, transformer T2, inductance L 5, capacitor C 3, C4, C5 and resistance R 3, R4 as switching device; Transformer T2 has primary coil L3 and secondary coil L4; Primary coil L3 and capacitor C 3 are connected in parallel; Constitute the LC oscillating circuit, after receiving AC signal, the AC signal that generation is had certain frequency of oscillation.And resistance R 4 is connected in series with capacitor C 4, and capacitor C 5 is connected in series with inductance L 5, is used to regulate the amplitude etc. that piezoelectric signal produces the AC signal that circuit generates.
The control end of triode T1, just base stage is connected with control module 32, receives the control signal of control module 32 outputs, i.e. the signal of high level.Two outputs of triode T1, promptly emitter stage, colelctor electrode and resistance R 3, secondary coil L4 are connected in series.When triode T1 conducting, secondary coil L4 and resistance R 3 formation closed-loop paths, when triode T1 ended, secondary coil L4 and resistance R 3 formed open circuit.

Wherein L, C are respectively inductance value and capacitance, and inductance value is mainly by the decision of primary coil L3 inductance value, and capacitance is mainly determined by the capacitance of capacitor C 3.
When control module 32 judges that the ink surplus is lower than threshold value, to base stage loading high level signal, the i.e. Continuity signal of triode T1; Triode T1 conducting, secondary coil L4 and resistance R 3 form closed loop, when having electric current to flow through on the elementary coil L3; To respond to the formation induced-current on the secondary coil L4, and also just produce magnetic flux, the flow direction that dimension level coil L4 induction generates is opposite with the flow direction of primary coil L3; The magnetic flux that the magnetic flux that primary coil L3 generates is generated by the secondary coil L4 part of cancelling out each other; The electric current that causes flowing through on the primary coil L3 increases, and induction reactance is also corresponding to be reduced, and the inductance value that is equivalent to primary coil L3 reduces.According to formula 1, when the inductance value L of elementary coil L3 reduces, but under the situation that capacitance C does not have to change, the frequency of oscillation f that piezoelectric signal produces circuit 33 output signals increases.
Like this; Only choose parameter suitable transformer T2, capacitor C 3 and resistance R 3; Promptly can be when triode T1 conducting; Let piezoelectric signal produce circuit 33 output frequency of oscillation higher signal, and when triode T1 ends, export the lower signal of frequency of oscillation, and this frequency of oscillation higher signal is similar with piezoelectric transducer oscillatory signal in air; The signal that frequency of oscillation is lower is similar with piezoelectric transducer oscillatory signal in ink, can simulate the signal of two kinds of different conditions lower piezoelectric sensor outputs.
When ink-jet printer writes the ink surplus less than threshold value to chip; Control module 32 is promptly controlled triode T1 conducting; Piezoelectric signal produces circuit 33 can export the higher AC signal of frequency of oscillation to ink-jet printer, and ink-jet printer sends the information of changing print cartridge to the user, can make things convenient for the user in time to understand the operating position of ink in the print cartridge; Thereby avoid print cartridge to print operation under the state to the greatest extent, prevent the damage of print cartridge and ink-jet printer at China ink.
