CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD OF INK JET PRINTER HEAD USING LIQUID METAL

摘要

The present invention relates to a control apparatus and method for an ink jet printer head using a liquid metal in which a liquid metal (LIQUID METAL) is used for a print head, so that the liquid metal can be maintained in a liquid state.;The present invention provides a control apparatus and method for an ink jet printer head using a liquid metal, comprising: temperature sensing means for sensing a temperature of ink supplied from an ink container, and indirectly increasing the temperature of the liquid metal to a temperature higher than the melting point by heating the ink; Further comprising heat generating means for maintaining at a predetermined portion of the ink furnace, detecting the temperature of the liquid metal, determining whether the detected temperature of the liquid metal is below the melting point, and In the determining step, if the temperature of the liquid metal is determined to be a temperature below the melting point, driving the heating means; and in the determining step, if the temperature of the liquid metal is not below the melting point, blocking the driving of the heating means It was to include.;Therefore, in the ink jet printer head using a liquid metal, the liquid metal temperature can always be maintained at a melting point or higher to maintain an appropriate operating temperature of the print head, thereby improving printing function. have.
