The printhead protective device
Technical field
The utility model relates to a kind of protective device, and especially a kind of device that the printhead of impact printer is protected belongs to printer electronics components and parts technical field.
Background technology
At present, the printhead of known impact printer is very important parts, and its price is valuable, and the maintenance cost height in use also damages easily.Particularly in print procedure, often, printhead causes that temperature raises because of continuing to print, when temperature is elevated to peak above its permission, will cause printhead to burn.For this reason, most impact printers adopt the mode of adding fin, improve the radiating effect of printhead.Yet the problem that existing radiating mode still can not avoid printhead to be burnt fully.In addition, when existing impact printer still continues to print under lacking the not enough situation of paper or paper width, print needle also can print to data on roller or the type slug, make the content that to beat on medium, mistake is got to and is printed on roller or the type slug, this is not only meaningless to the correct printing of medium, but also can cause damage to print needle.Existing in addition impact printer is printhead coil overcurrent protection function and influence its service life for want of also.Therefore be necessary prior art is improved,, reduce the printer use cost to improve print head longevity.
Summary of the invention
Easily burn printhead in order to overcome the lasting printing that existing impact printer exists, lack paper and print the damage printhead, printhead coil overcurrent and burn deficiency such as coil, the utility model provides a kind of printhead protective device.
The technical scheme that its technical problem that solves the utility model adopts is: a kind of printhead protective device; comprise printhead; it is characterized in that the overheat protector that is electrically connected with the printer master control borad is set on printhead, the overcurrent protector that is electrically connected with the printer master control borad is set on the earth-return of printhead.Overheated to avoid printing, print overcurrent and the problem of burning printhead.
Described overheat protector is by temperature sensor; the resistance, the electric capacity that are electrically connected with temperature sensor by the printer cable socket constitute; resistance, electric capacity link to each other with the AD passage of printer master control borad; when surpassing safety value with convenient printhead temperature; stop to print by master control borad, avoid temperature to continue to raise.
Described overcurrent protector is made of the driving chip that is electrically connected with the printer master control borad, FET, current sense resistance, voltage comparator; wherein; the input that drives chip links to each other with printer master control borad output; the output that drives chip links to each other with the FET input; the FET output links to each other with current sense resistance and voltage comparator; so that when overcurrent,, guarantee that the printhead coil is not burnt by the driving of voltage comparator notice master control borad interruption to printhead.
The utility model compared with prior art has following advantage and effect: adopt such scheme, can effectively overcome deficiency excessive because of print load in the short time, that temperature raises and burns printhead, overcome overcurrent simultaneously and to cause that the printhead coil burns etc. not enough, and can reduce in the print procedure loss to printhead, prolong the print head maintenance cycle, improve printing effect, thereby prolong printhead, reduce the operating cost that the client uses impact printer until printer complete machine service life.The utility model reliability height, good stability, protectiveness is strong, can monitor printhead temperature, overcurrent condition in real time, and printhead is effectively protected.

The specific embodiment
The embodiment that provides below in conjunction with accompanying drawing is described further the utility model.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, printhead temperature signal 2 is by 1 output of printer cable socket, after current-limiting resistance 3 reinforcement drivings, behind the RC filter network through resistance 6 and electric capacity 7 compositions, receive the AD passage of main control chip, with analog signal conversion is 0~1023 data signal, makes main control chip can monitor the temperature of printhead accurately.When printhead temperature surpassed safety value, main control chip stopped printhead and goes out pin, avoided printhead temperature to continue to raise.
In example shown in Figure 2, the printhead cluster loop current monitoring control PHTST signal 8 of main control chip output drives the conducting or the shutoff of chip 9 control IFR1503S FETs 10 by MC34151.If 10 conductings of IFR1503S FET, printhead cluster loop SOLGND signal 11 ground connection of enclosing the land then, the reverse input end of LM339 voltage comparator 16 is a low level.If IFR1503S FET 10 turn-offs, then printhead cluster is enclosed the land loop SOLGND signal 11 by current sense resistance 13 ground connection, when the printhead coil had drive current, this drive current was big, so the reverse input end of LM339 voltage comparator 16 is a high level.Are low level or high level different with the PHREF1 current monitoring with reference to control signal 15 with reference to control signal 14 according to the PHREF0 current monitoring, can set the size that threshold values is monitored the printhead cluster loop current.When coil current surpasses threshold values, LM339 voltage comparator 16 can output low levels be notified the generation of main control chip overcurrent, and main control chip can interrupt the driving control to printhead, guarantees that the printhead coil is not burnt, thereby the printhead overcurrent protection is provided.
