Title:
METHOD OF DEVICE FOR DETECTING EJECTION OF LIQUID AND INKJET RECORDER
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3697209
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve problems wherein a conventional detector has less detection performance of an ink drop, a small output, and therefore less reliability, a high voltage is generated to be applied in a conventional device so that the device has a safety problem.
SOLUTION: There is disclosed a liquid ejection detecting method and a device for detecting a liquid ejected from a liquid jet head. An electrode 9 is provided to a position where the liquid ejected from the liquid jet head 6 contacts the head 6. The liquid is ejected, and then the head 6 and the electrode 9 are connected with each other so that circuit is made to be a closed circuit. A value of a voltage generated on both ends of a resistor (r) by a current (i) flowing through the closed circuit is obtained. When the voltage becomes higher than a predetermined voltage, the ejection of the liquid can be detected.
