Description

Re-inking device and method

The present invention relates to go up again the re-inking device and the method for black apparatus and method, particularly various fabric ribbons.

Fabric ribbon especially multiply knit nylon colour band is widely used in various printers, for example typewriter, cash register, counting machine, telex machine and ever-increasing computer printer, the colour band that matches of first-class China ink generally can be bought from the manufacturer of printer.Most of fabric ribbons all are to be contained in the plastic casing in continuous, annular mode, and all there are its own unique ribbon cartridge shape and size in each manufacturing firm.In use when the driver of printer rotated the driving mechanism of ribbon cartridge, braid over braid was pulled to outside the box, and sends back to again in the box, at least colour band be exposed on the outer section of box with the part China ink, pass in known manner on the material that the acceptance resemble paper prints.Use up when making print quality defective when the China ink on the colour band, it is generally acknowledged that this box colour band will scrap, the expense of replacing is very considerable.

The sector has two kinds of solutions to scrapping the cost issues that produced of fabric ribbon box that exhausts China ink.A kind of way is that the replaced color of the first-class China ink of packing in existing box is brought and replaced original colour band; But it is very difficult and very dirty that this method implements, and also is not suitable for common box colour band user's needs.Second kind of solution is to adopt re-inking device, and original colour band is gone up China ink again and ribbon cartridge need not be taken out or taken apart to colour band in box.The latter just that the present invention discussed.

For reducing manufacturing cost, especially avoid being necessary for the special re-inking device of box colour band manufacturing of various models (size and shape), people always attempt to make the device that can go up China ink for various box colour bands again.This re-inking device will be not only to this have much use separately the box next door or above.This known arrangement, its advantage be ribbon cartridge with its same way as of in printer, locating re-inking device of packing into, but we also find two shortcomings (a) that it has because the driving mechanism of ribbon cartridge be cannot see, a lot of users find to be difficult to it is aimed at (driving) bindiny mechanism, (b) very difficult assurance will drive connector and project upwards correct distance, contact suitably to mesh to be driven fully with driving mechanism; Engagement with driving mechanism, just cause ink density as being interrupted a little, be that print density is irregular, may force driving mechanism to enter into excessively deeply in opposite situation connects on the blade, one of them may be damaged, normally driving mechanism damages because the box colour band can not rotate in printer, thereby make go up again black meaningless.Known this layout often comprises that a depression bar is pressed in the supporting mechanism to keep ribbon cartridge, and itself plays detent mechanism, relies on the friction between ribbon cartridge and the supporting mechanism to prevent or limit slippage.

Also knowing on the market and can buy a kind of device, is to adorn ribbon cartridge is counter going up when China ink again, promptly its " end " drive connector and drive unit all on ribbon cartridge towards last.Like this, the supporting mechanism of ribbon cartridge, detent mechanism, driving connector, the drive unit that drives connector and ink tube etc. all are installed in a side of pedestal in this design.But in this known layout, the supporting mechanism of ribbon cartridge (also having ink tube usually) can not be fixed on the pedestal movably at least.Therefore this re-inking device only be suitable for limited number special-purpose ribbon cartridge selectively go up again black, be those ribbon cartridges, when the ribbon cartridge of selecting was fit to be installed in the supporting mechanism of fixed position, the dispersion that its colour band idle running section can wipe the ink tube ink exported.Bindiny mechanism is installed on the adjustable arm of radius, makes its can pack into driving mechanism of ribbon cartridge, but to various ribbon cartridges, its load is balance all, the arm short to radius, and regular meeting of bindiny mechanism jumps out engagement.

We attempt to eliminate or alleviate above-mentioned shortcoming.

So according to a feature of the present invention, we provide a kind of re-inking device for box mode knitting band, this box colour band has rotating driving mechanism, the shape of ribbon cartridge provides one section idle running colour band that is exposed, re-inking device comprises a pedestal, the supporting mechanism of ribbon cartridge is installed in the above, detent mechanism, the drive unit of rotational tape drum driving mechanism, ink tube, its ink distributes outlet to contact with the idle running section of colour band, the feature of device be all these mechanisms all on one side of pedestal, each mechanism is base motion relatively all.Preferably the supporting mechanism of ribbon cartridge comprises a lot of seating surfaces, its detent mechanism too, so pedestal can support, and heteroid and the original-pack different fabric ribbon box of relative positioning, thereby can go up black to the idle running section of its colour band again.

We also are provided as the method that ribbon cartridge is gone up China ink again, it comprises these steps, ribbon cartridge supporting mechanism and detent mechanism are located on pedestal, so that admit and locate the selected box colour band that will go up China ink again, this ribbon cartridge has driving mechanism, be fit to extract out the colour band formation idle running colour band section of certain-length, optionally ribbon cartridge is positioned in this mechanism or next door, and the driving mechanism that makes ribbon cartridge pedestal dorsad, again drive unit is inserted this driving mechanism, lay the ink disperser and contact with the part of idle running colour band section at least,, pull out continuous idle running section and gone up China ink all again up to this colour band then by this drive unit rotating drive mechanism.

As the exploded view finding of Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, pedestal is metallic plate or plank 1, also can be easily by wear-resisting plastics such as ABS, nylon manufacturing.Plate 1 is a rectangle, generally is the position that flatly is placed on it with four rubber blankets 6, and rubber cushion is fixed on the substrate 1 by hole 5 with screw 6.Post 7 is the position that vertically or almost is placed vertically at it when normal the use, and cross section is circular, also is with ABS, nylon manufacturing, is fixed on the substrate 1 by hole 3 with screw 8.4 supporting pillars 16 are that the bolt 17 that has pad 21 is separately fixed at substrate 1 by hole 4.Ink tube 18 is to be positioned in the substrate 1 along groove 2 selected positions by the screw 20 of being with pad 21a; In use ink tube 18 is along groove 2 location, thereby it contact with the idle running section R of colour band, and directedly makes the ink in the ink tube 18 to export by one or several dispersion, be expressed as hole 22 among the figure, flows on the colour band.

Each post 16 all has shoulder 16a and upstanding wall 16b, and shoulder 16a is as the supporting mechanism of ribbon cartridge 13, and upstanding wall 16b is as the lateral register mechanism of ribbon cartridge 13.Shoulder 16a is that the height of sd so is not so that the idle running section R of colour band can wipe substrate; And make the wing button that generally can change (some ribbon cartridge is also supported ribbon cartridge with blade or anchor clamps when wing button rotates) that stretches out from the ribbon cartridge end face exceed substrate 1.

So just can understand the ribbon cartridge 13 that shows and be installed in opposite position, its end face (cannot see) is towards substrate 1 towards last at its " end ".According to special box colour band supplier's design criteria, will there be a kind of specific groove at the center of driving wheel indent.Normally single groove of groove or cross bath, thus driver can be flat blade 12a, preferably along with the degree of depth reduces width (tapered) gradually downwards, so that cooperate the groove of the different in width and the degree of depth; But can there be another kind of shape at the center of ribbon cartridge driving mechanism, as triangle, rectangle, Y shape or the like, can cooperate the another kind of connector that drives then, and the bindiny mechanism that perhaps small-sized shape is suitable is inserted between blade and the ribbon cartridge driving mechanism.

Ribbon cartridge 13 is contained in opposite position, comprises the driving connector 12 of blade 12a in this embodiment, is locked in the two-way axle of manually taking up, and crank arm 11 provides the driving means of rotation for ribbon cartridge driving mechanism 14; Driving connector 12 is mounted on the arm 10 of constant radius.By the side direction of one or several post 16 and/or the adjustment of rotation, can regulate the position of ribbon cartridge 13, can correctly be inserted into the degree of depth that cooperates in the ribbon cartridge driving mechanism 14 up to blade 12a; If the weight of existing various driving connectors is known, blade 12a just meshes with predetermined load.Arm 10 is contained on the vertical column 7, is that rotate in horizontal plane in the axle center with the post, can be locked in arbitrary height or position, angle arbitrarily by tightening screw 9.To adorn two-way electro-motor on the radial arm 10 in another embodiment.

Ink tube 18 is at the porose 22(Fig. 3 of different vertical heights), pass the barrel of putting ink, one of them or several such hole can be by shutter 19 closures.For the narrow braid over braid of width (1/4 English inch as is known), ink will only disperse out by nethermost hole, braid over braid (1/2 English inch) in the face of broad, ink will disperse to come out by two or all three holes 22, if desired, add several additional pads 21 separately, 21a regulates the height of shoulder 16a and/or ink tube 18.For the continuous weaving band of annular, the point of stamping white in colour band 15 is of great use to indicate starting point and the terminating point of going up the China ink section again.After heavily going up China ink, preferably colour band is placed and re-used in several hours, to allow ink be diffused into the whole width of braid over braid equably.Be the mounting portion below putting ink tank, ink tube is fixed on the substrate 1 removably.

Fig. 5-10 shows the versatility according to re-inking device of the present invention, available various box colour band C, and every kind has different size and dimensions, and every kind has the different driving mechanism 14 in location, and every kind has the idle running section colour band R of diverse location will go up China ink again.From top description, it will be appreciated that in addition, different box colour bands has the central recess of difform ribbon cartridge driving mechanism 14, thereby require to be fixed on radial arm 10 on the post 7 at (a little) different height, requiring different connectors to be coupled to takes up in the axle 11, perhaps require bindiny mechanism, it has the blade 12a of groove matching connector 12, and its other end has the shape of required ribbon cartridge driving mechanism, and it can be installed between connector 12 and the ribbon cartridge driving mechanism 14 drivingly.

So far describable each embodiment all is to be used for selected a certain specific special box colour band.Post 16 can rotate respectively in four holes 4 separately, bears any small side direction error with the vertical wall 16b that allows it, as radial arm 10, and the error that vertical column 7 and ink tube 18 cause; Thereby it will be appreciated that, in another embodiment that will describe in detail below, substrate 1 can have the hole 4 more than 4, so (even in specific embodiment) can use the post more than 4 if desired, so 4 (or a plurality of) have the post 16 of shoulder to reorientate onboard, just this embodiment be fit to different designs the box colour band go up again black.

Each commercial undertaking wishes and can go up China ink again to the box colour band of various printing machines that I also propose another embodiment, see Figure 11/12.The structure of pedestal comprises angle steel 112 and 113, separates and guide rail 120 and 121 parallel to each other vertical column 101, an end of contiguous block 108, the 109 clamping guide rails 120,121 of cooperation, the other end of contiguous block 110, the 111 clamping guide rails of cooperation on the space.In another embodiment, this can replace with the U-lag steel guide rail 120,121, the effect of its central channel resembles the support clamping plate of three supporting arms 114,116,115, the head of three bolts is placed in the U-lag steel, and their bodies of bolt separately then project upwards by groove.In another embodiment, angle steel 112,113 can replace with solid steel pole (square or rectangle), and it has vertical opening, so bar can directly be fixed on the workbench.During use, will be positioned at angle steel 112,113 on the certain level face, for example angle steel will be placed on terminal or top (Figure 12) of workbench 100.

Slide block 102 adjustable grounds are fixed on the right cylinder 101.Tighten slide block 102 by screw 104, also fixed (variable) radial arm 103 simultaneously, motor 105 and reduction gear box 106 are installed on it.Motor 105 is d.c. motors, and its speed is variable.The rotation direction of motor 105 is also variable, with consistent with driving connector 107 desired rotation directions.

Two parallel ribbon cartridge steady arms 114,115 are installed on the guide rail 120,121 by the grip block 117,122 tightened by screw-nut 41 with by the grip block 119,124 that screw-nut 43 is tightened separately.Block 125,126 is slidably mounted on the ribbon cartridge steady arm 114, releasably is locked on the bar 114 by screw 280,290; Block 127,128 is slidably mounted on the ribbon cartridge steady arm 115, can reorientate after unclamping lock-screw 300,310.The block that slides can pin, so their upright surface (generally those upright surfaces are vertical with steady arm) can be used as detent mechanism when the box colour band is gone up China ink again, i.e. and the lateral movement of restriction ribbon cartridge when colour band is advanced by motor 105 drives; Because ribbon cartridge is fixed on the steady arm in this embodiment, thereby they are again the supporting mechanisms of ribbon cartridge.

Ink tube steady arm 116 also is installed on the guide rail 120,121 by the clamp 118,123 that screw-nut 42 is tightened.Clearly visible from Figure 12, the top flange of ink tube steady arm 116 is lower than the top flange of ribbon cartridge steady arm.

Ink tube 133 is by supporting that slidably 132 is fixing, and it can be fixed on any position along steady arm 116 by screw 136; From each hole 135 that ink tube 133 gives out ink, its height and direction can be adjusted after unclamping trip bolt 137.Close or open the following hole in 135 holes of ink tube, open down hole and mesopore, or down, in, go up the hole, can control by the height of shutter 134 in the ink tube 133.For being installed in parallel ribbon cartridge steady arm 114, ribbon cartridge on 115, the relative position of its ink tube 133 and ribbon cartridge, the position of that section idle running colour band section R preferably is adjusted to the pulling force minimum that makes colour band particularly and between ribbon cartridge two arms, thereby makes the tension force minimum in the colour band driving mechanism.

The embodiment of Figure 11-12 allows to adjust continuously, than carrying out lateral adjustment respectively separately, will unclamp each embodiment of pulling down to element before reorientating and tightening, and can adapt to the commercial needs and the requirement of more users better.

Figure 13-16 shows that the box colour band that the re-inking device of use Figure 11-12 designs another kind carries out going up again China ink, as seen from the figure, re-inking device of the present invention allows ribbon cartridge steady arm 114, in 115 one or two, ink tube steady arm 116, the ribbon cartridge block 125 of slip, 126,127 and 128, the mounting blocks 102,103 of ink tube 133 and motor carries out relocating rapidly and simply.The box colour band is represented by C that generally the colour band idle running section that is exposed is represented by R.

Most of operators may need polynary driver element, and several there box colour bands (size, shape identical or different) can be gone up China ink simultaneously, and for example coml is gone up China ink again and operated.The contiguous block that will have each guide rail 120,121 is installed on the pedestal of proper extension, angle steel 112a for example, and 113a can accomplish this point, as the ternary driver element of Figure 17.

Another embodiment that shows ink tube among Figure 20.Shutter 119 is sealings, is slidably mounted in the ink tube 118.By ratchet, pawl device valve is remained on selected upright position, be stuck in a position of ratchet by the ratchet 120 of spring 121 reinforcings.This embodiment may be particularly useful to polynary drive unit, device as shown in Figure 17, because that 2 or a plurality of box colour band are gone up simultaneously again is black, it may stand stronger vibration.

Thereby be appreciated that the mechanism that I propose, make that ribbon cartridge can be correctly, and face the location (reverse side) at the end adjustably that the result installs superincumbent driver can be inserted into the groove center that ribbon cartridge is driven wheel, and also can remove.Utilize the handle or the motor of two-way rotation,, can make to be driven the clockwise or rotation counterclockwise of wheel according to the needs of box colour band particular design; Also have and to use a driving connector (compare as alternative connector, clockwise or counter-clockwise screw thread be arranged) so will supply in pairs with screw thread to can counter-rotationally being driven wheel.But drive unit with forward and backward, motor preferably, can carry out height and lateral register adjusting with my embodiment, preferably combine, utilize the ribbon cartridge of the driving connector various designs that just process range is very wide effectively of relatively small amount with the driver of taper.Also can think in the embodiment of Figure 12, fixing radial arm can be determined size like this, by changing the position of supporting pillar and ink tube simply, just can be fit to most of box colour bands that various manufacturers make, the employed box colour band of home computer user for example, be that all kinds of potential users can buy standard-sized substrate, and the column of fixed position and common fixed radial arm 10, the hole 4 of oneself punching and accomplishing fluently in advance to replace just can be fit to the box colour band (box) of their given shape then.

In the being seen correction embodiment of Figure 18, substrate 201 is rectangles, is sitting in by screw 6 to be fixed on four rubber blankets on the substrate 201 by hole, angle 5.In this embodiment, substrate 201 has the hole that much penetrates, and each diameter is the same with hole, angle 5, becomes honeycombed to arrange.The numbering in every hole is 205.In another embodiment, open-work on each angle and other local hole are replaced by the bolt bar on the upper surface of base plate, it can match with the expandable clip in its side that is fit to clamp the bolt bar side, and clip is installed in second section listed mechanism of this scheme specification.

The position of post 7 is vertically or almost vertical when normal the use, passes hole 205 by screw 8 and is fixed on the substrate 201.Four supporting pillars 16 are fixed on the substrate 201 by bolt 17 band pads 21 separately by hole 205.Ink tube 218 usefulness bolts 17 pass the position that pad 21 is fixed on a certain selection on the substrate 201.Use China and Mexico's water drum 218 be like this location so that it contact with the idle running section R of colour band, and like this orientation make ink in the ink tube will be from the ink barrel one or several hole 22(Figure 19) in outflow.

The hole 22 of ink tube is in different vertical heights, and they can be closed by the valve 219 of hollow circle tube in this embodiment, and valve can rotate with cylindrical shell in ink tube 218 and be slidingly matched.The top 230 of valve 219 has shoulder 231, is fit to be sitting in the top of ink tube 218, and valve also has the opening 219a with each hole 22 vertical alignment, 219b, 219c.If desired, it can have the lid of a hermetic seal, prevents that dust from falling in the ink, also prevent ink tube not the time spent ink spill; Lid will be taken away in use.In another advanced embodiment, ink tube is replaceable box, and capacity is 3 milliliters, and sealing is twined by the aluminium pool in the hole originally; Lid is the leachy replaceable vinyl cover in center; Top cover with whole atresia is enclosed within replaceable covering again, blocks pore and prevents ink leakage, and pool and top cover removal back ink are flowed with regard to producing.

During use, for the narrow braid over braid of width, as Figure 19 finding, disperse ink only to use minimum hole 22, in order to accomplish this point, rotation valve 219 makes and has only the left-hand component (as Figure 19 finding) of opening 219a to align with minimum hole 22.To the wideest braid over braid, rotation valve 219 makes uppermost hole align with opening 219c, because in this embodiment, each 22 hole is to be arranged vertically in the right side of opening 219a and 219b terminal, so present 219a and 219b align with their corresponding apertures separately.Therefore preferably the horizontal length of opening 219c is with the equal in length of its respective aperture or lack a bit a little, and the horizontal length of opening 219b and 219a is its 2 times and 3 times.But will think,,, can dispose the hole of other shapes, size and different layouts no matter be narrow, medium or wide braid over braid according to ink suitably being spread to whole braid over braid width.

Figure 18 as seen, deflector roll 220 comprises that the bolt 17 by band pad 21 can append to supporting pillar 222 on the substrate 201, roller 221, it is mounted on the upright axle 223 of pillar 222, can rotate freely.

Figure 21-24 shows, uses fixing radial arm 10, uses the versatility that cellular pedestal 201 is installed.Along with the suitable location of ink tube, the box colour band A of various existing special designs, B, C, D can pull out general idle running band R and the slight CONTACT WITH FRICTION of ink tube, to box colour band A and B, also will suitably locate deflector roll 220.The design of substrate 201 not only can cooperate the box colour band of various special designs, and can be according to operator's convenience, perhaps various ribbon cartridges can be positioned at optimal position on the substrate according to length of arm or the like.

Characteristics of substrate 201 be porose diameter all identical, each parts are installed can standardization.I advise using so-called M4 soket head cap screw.With the substrate of my improvement, the box colour band is easy to the location, if wish also can to accomplish, one or several of the 2nd section listed mechanism of specification is positioned at fixed position on the substrate earlier, only changes the position of all the other mechanisms then on side direction or angle.

In the embodiment of Figure 25, base seat lid 301 is lids of unit container 340, can leave in the container 340 according to each parts of using in the colour band re-inking device of the present invention, also can take away when not in use, the shape of this lid normally has one deck foamed plastics of a lot of grooves.5 grooves 342 are arranged on the base seat lid 301, and every groove 344 openings at one end all in this embodiment, these grooves are that the bump by lid forms, so these grooves are not the grooves that penetrates.The size of groove is determined by the head of admittance and grip bolt 17, thereby bolt 17 just can slip in the groove from openend 344, can move around in groove on request then.The side edge shape of groove can prevent the screw rotation.In another embodiment, the number difference of groove constitutes groove by the recess of lid, and these grooves are the grooves that penetrate, and the two ends of groove are all closed but widen at the other end and to form key hole shape groove.

Each parts that will describe below all are installed on the base seat lid 301 by a screw 17 respectively, and in another embodiment, parts can be fixed with the several screws that are contained in the identical or different groove, or the set screws component that utilizes the screw component in several grooves to form is installed.

At least resemble parts of pillar 316 in one embodiment, the one end has flange 345(Figure 35), the hole 346 that can pass the body of bolt is arranged on it.Twisting locking nut 348(Figure 37 on the body of bolt), bolt can be tightened on the flange so that on the position that these parts angle orientation is on request selected in groove.In a useful especially embodiment, do not have flange 345, and a groove that can pass the body of bolt is arranged, the horizontal adjustment that pillar 316 can also be added; The most handy in another embodiment flat locking nut (being that its diameter is greater than height) replaces nut 348.Parts have threaded flange hole in also having an embodiment, or threaded (vertical) groove 349(Figure 26) with the threaded engagement of bolt.

Still in this embodiment, parts that are installed in like this on the base seat lid 301 are to take up arm post 307.Taking up arm post 307 in this embodiment is flat substantially, but mounting flange 350 is arranged, it is placed on the position between the adjacent slot 342 on the base seat lid 301, sees Figure 25, is placed on to take up vertically extending groove 351(Figure 44 in the arm post 307) in nut 348 admit bolts 17.In another embodiment, bolt 17 can pass the hole and the nut engagement of flange 350 as described above, and in also having an embodiment, the groove 351 in taking up arm post 307 itself has been attacked screw thread, and therefore taking up post 307 can be threaded with screw 17.

Take up arm post 307 and comprise groove 352, the pole 354 of taking up arm 310 can be put into this groove.Unclamp after the nut 348, take up arm 310 and take up arm post 307 and can on the plane parallel, rotate (swing) together with base seat lid 301.In preferred embodiments, the outside indention of nut, in that the taking up before arm post angle on request slips into nut of the interior sawtooth that is complementary arranged, earlier nut is fixed on the appropriate location in the groove 342, therefore can change the orientation of taking up arm 310 soon and must not unclamp nut.This tooth nut and have the respective element of inner sawtooth also to be applicable to other parts that are installed on the substrate.

Taking up arm 310 has the winding head 356 in finger-type cave 358 in comprising.Clearly visible from Figure 41, finger-type cave 358 is parts of the partial groups component 360 that can rotate, and partial groups component 360 is in the form of annular discs, utilizes 4 clips 362 to be fixed on to take up a position of 356.(seeing Figure 40) transfers to usefulness by finger dialling in finger-type cave 358, partial groups component 360 is rotated, it makes driver tip 312 rotate again, because driver tip 312 is engaged in the ribbon cartridge driver 14 when using, so rotational tape drum driver 14 is also just pulled out the various piece that will go up ink ribbon idle running section R again.Though there is smooth inner surface in finger-type cave 358, in also having an embodiment, its inner surface has serration or becomes coarse to be caught to help pointing in the rotation.Also can to adopt the crank arm of Fig. 1 without the finger-type cave, (in order depositing) the finger-type seat that can remove to be arranged in one embodiment, with a pair of outside biasing spring pin it is fixed in the groove usually.
