  • Publication number: 20160325545
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to suppress variance in the print quality of an inkjet recording device. In order to solve the above problem, the present invention is an inkjet recording device of a charge control type equipped with two or more nozzles which are disposed side by side in a print head, the inkjet recording device being characterized by the following: having a control unit for performing print control independently for each of a plurality of printing configurations; the control unit having an input unit whereby current values of print elements of each of the printing configurations can be periodically checked, and having an output unit whereby the print elements during a subsequent print can be modified; and in that the control unit further adjusts each of the nozzles for every print so as to cause the “charging voltage”, “deflecting voltage”, and “ink pressure” of the subsequent print to approach a reference value.

  • Publication number: 20160244306
    Abstract: A telescopic boom extension device includes a driving mechanism. The driving mechanism that drives B pins and a C pin includes a hydraulic supply part and a drive source generation part. The drive source generation part generates a predetermined hydraulic pressure at the hydraulic supply part based on a pneumatic pressure. The hydraulic supply part has an accumulator and AOHs and supplies a hydraulic pressure to a cylinder-boom coupling mechanism and an inter-boom fixing mechanism. The drive source generation part uses a pneumatic supply part to send compressed air to the hydraulic supply part.

  • Publication number: 20160221803
    Abstract: A telescopic boom extension device includes a cylinder-boom coupling mechanism, an inter-boom fixing mechanism, and a driving mechanism that drives the foregoing two. The driving mechanism has a hydraulic supply part and a drive source generation part. The hydraulic supply part includes an AOH and is provided at a cylinder tube of a telescopic boom. The hydraulic supply part supplies operating oil selectively to actuators driving a B pin and a C pin. The drive source generation part includes an air hose and supplies compressed air to the AOH.

  • Publication number: 20160046124
    Abstract: Under a condition in which bowed printing occurs, a horizontal shift is suppressed to improve print quality. Following a program stored in a ROM 12, an MPU 10 generates video data for charging print particles according to print contents data stored in a RAM 11. Based on the print contents data, the MPU 10 detects a letter to be printed last, and when the letter to be printed last is printed to end a print operation, generates video data so that based on the video data, a non-print charge voltage driving non-print particles to an extent that they do not fly over a gutter 25 is applied to non-print particles. The number of the non-print particles subjected to the non-print charge voltage is determined by the MPU 10, based on the distance from a print head 2 to a print subject 30, a letter height preset value, etc. A character signal generating circuit 18 generates the non-print charge voltage, based on the video data, and applies the generated the non-print charge voltage to a charging electrode 22.

  • Patent number: 9233532
    Abstract: Provided is an inkjet recording device for performing print control by increasing or decreasing the number of adjustment ink particles, which are used according to the speed of the object being printed even when the movement speed of the object being printed is increasing or decreasing and which are uncharged particles carrying a fixed electrical charge that takes electrostatic bonding into consideration. The present invention is an inkjet recording device provided with an ink container for holding ink that is to be printed on the object being printed, a nozzle that is connected to the ink container and discharges the ink, a charging electrode for charging specified ink that has been discharged from the nozzle, a deflecting electrode for deflecting the ink charged by said charging electrode, a gutter for collecting the ink that is not used for printing, and a control unit for controlling the printing.

  • Patent number: 9064397
    Abstract: A verification value is calculated for an estimation result. The estimation result is corrected on the basis of the calculated verification value. This allows for output of a highly reliable estimation result. If it is determined that the class to which the state of a driver belongs has transitioned continuously, the estimation result is outputted. If it cannot be determined that the class to which the state of the driver belongs has transitioned continuously, a previous estimation result is outputted instead of the latest estimation result. This allows for output of a highly reliable estimation result.
