Thermal printer working principle and heating control of thermal printer head


Thermal printer works

The thermal printer works by mounting a semiconductor heating element on the printhead. The printhead heats up and contacts the thermal paper to print the desired pattern. The principle is similar to that of a thermal fax machine. The image is generated by heating to produce a chemical reaction in the film. This thermal printer chemical reaction is carried out at a certain temperature. High temperatures accelerate this chemical reaction. When the temperature is lower than 60 ° C, the paper needs to go through quite a long time, even for several years to become dark; when the temperature is 200 ° C, this reflection will be completed in a few microseconds.

For a 2-inch printhead, there are 384 heating points in the horizontal direction and 576 heating points for 3 inches. Control of the heating point is abstracted into a write to a cache. The print head has a built-in buffer, and 1 bit in the buffer indicates whether a heating point is heated. So before heating, we need to serially write the data of the dot line to be printed to the printer's cache. How to write data is not described here, we assume that the data has been written to the cache. Currently, it is important to know that the data must be written as soon as the motor begins to rotate, usually by writing data at the same time as the first phase of the startup.

After the data is written to the cache, it is not simply a matter of heating by heating a heater. After testing, for a 3-inch printhead, 576 points of simultaneous heating will cause the instantaneous current peak to reach 11A. The instantaneous current that most lithium batteries can withstand is only about 6A. One heating may cause the battery to be protected and lose power. The printhead divides all heating points into several "groups" for control. Therefore, at some point, we can only heat some of these groups. The principle of group heating is to reduce the instantaneous current (reduce the number of heating points at a certain time) while ensuring that each group can be heated substantially uniformly. Due to the limitation of the size and cost of the portable printer, there is generally no constant current device for the power supply of the print head, so uneven grouping may result in different writing depths in the same line. This needs to be determined by extensive testing.

Sprayer Agriculture

Sprayer agriculture is one kind of sprayers,the material is PE, the lance is plastic lance,stepless can be adjusted,it has a capacity of3L/4L/5L/8L,the working pressure is from2.2 to 2.7pa .it has high corrosion resistant and durable and different color can be offer.It can be used for agriculture.It's very convenience to be used. We have many advantages over other products.First of all, we are very stricted in controling over the raw materials,sencondly,we have more than 20 years experience in mold translation.thirdly,we will carry out a complete inspection of each product, we have a complete set of testing equipment to ensure that each product to the hands of customers have no quality problems.The effect of fog water is very good, it can also be spray straight line.Meanwhile the size of the atomization can be mediated,also there's an exhaust valve in it, When the pressure is out of range, it can protect your safety. Sprayer Agriculture has already been the daily tool for people to make agriculture better.Sprayer Agriculture has better quality and better drainage.Sprayer Agriculture can also used on routine disinfection.It will help your daily life more convenience,more safe.
