发明名称 DISPENSER FUNCTIONALITY EVALUATION
摘要 One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for evaluating dispenser functionality of a dispenser for dispensing a material. In an example, a non-loaded electrical characteristic and/or a loaded electrical characteristic of the dispenser may be measured and evaluated to determine whether to perform a dispense event. In another example, current measurements, such as peak current, may be measured during a dispense event. The current measurements may be evaluated to determine whether a problem exists, such as a mechanical stall, a gear train problem, an actuator problem, a pump problem (e.g., a clogged pump), a mechanical impedance, and/or other issue. Such information may be collected, stored as historical data, and/or used to determine whether to perform subsequent dispense events.

主权项 1. A method for evaluating dispenser functionality of a dispenser for dispensing a material, comprising: measuring a non-loaded electrical characteristic of a dispenser; responsive to the non-loaded electrical characteristic being above a first non-loaded threshold, performing a dispense event; and responsive to the non-loaded electrical characteristic being between the first non-loaded threshold and a second non-loaded threshold: measuring a loaded electrical characteristic of the dispenser;responsive to the loaded electrical characteristic being above a loaded threshold, performing the dispense event; andresponsive to the loaded electrical characteristic being below the loaded threshold, refraining from performing the dispense event.
