Research on Intelligent Control System of Thermal Print Head Based on Field Programmable Gate Array

Abstract

Thermal print head heating real-time temperature fluctuations are too large, often causing damage to the print head heating point, resulting in poor print quality and unsatisfactory print results. Therefore, to improve the stability of the thermal print head during printing, and at the same time to solve the inefficiency of the traditional single-chip microcomputer control of the thermal print head heating method, a field programmable gate array-based thermal print head heating control method is proposed. To control the core, the intelligent fuzzy Proportional-Integral-Differential (PID) control algorithm is used to ensure that the temperature of the print head can be stabilized quickly. Through simulation and experimental verification, it is shown that the intelligent fuzzy PID control algorithm greatly improves the temperature stabilization effect, and the time required to reach stability short not only improve the printing accuracy but also extend the life of the print head.
