Description

The print control unit of franking machine
Technical field
The utility model relates to the print control unit of a kind of print control unit, particularly franking machine.
Background technology
Post envelope is printed the basic print system that adopts one way, envelope or label (can be attached on envelope as postage paying voucher, similar stamp) enter from one end of printer, after printing, exit from other one end again, printing type can be ink-jet or hot stamping mode, and this special equipment is called franking machine.Franking machine substitutes traditional stamp in the mode of directly printing, and reduces costs.More than one printhead can be installed to expand the height of printing in one way print system.
Rotary photoelectric encoder is the stroke inductor that along circumference, rotational angle is divided into multiple unit pulses, often turns over a unit pulse, just reflects the forward travel distance of feed roller on girth, namely paper send distance to.
Prior art is generally, at one of paper feeding wheel or paper output wheel, rotary photoelectric encoder is installed.In the time that encoder is arranged on paper feeding wheel, the paper afterbody of printing leaves after paper feeding wheel, and encoder cannot continue to follow the tracks of the variation of media location again, if at this moment print and also do not complete, accurate printing often can not be continued in the rear end of print area so; For this reason, need to use longer paper in the middle of reality, when making printhead prints, paper is still carried on paper feeding wheel, and this has just produced the back distance of longer printer page, and the length of back distance is at least greater than the distance of printhead to paper feeding wheel.In the time that encoder is arranged on paper output wheel, can only arrive after paper output wheel at paper, could start to print according to the paper position tracing into, this has just produced the front distance of printer page, and front is apart from being at least greater than the distance of printhead apart from paper output wheel.The mode that existing single encoded device control is printed, individual envelope or the label length of printing are longer, have caused the huge waste of printed material.
Simultaneously, there is certain thickness print media and enter or leave the feed roller moment that photoelectric encoder is installed, this encoder of taking turns and be arranged on wheel is impacted, encoder can not accurately reflect the change in location of print media on moving direction, can affect printing precision, produce chromatography stitching error.
Summary of the invention
The utility model will solve chromatography stitching error of the prior art, print tracking media location inaccuracy, use the problem of longer print media, provide the utility model a kind of franking machine print control unit for this reason, this franking machine print control unit structure arranges compactness, Method of printing is reasonable in design, can realize accurate tracking print media, use shorter print media, and realize without chromatography stitching error when more than one printhead is installed in system.
For solving the problem of chromatography stitching error, print tracking media location inaccuracy, the longer print media of use, the technical solution adopted in the utility model comprises paper feeding wheel, paper output wheel, rotary photoelectric encoder, printhead and print control unit, the output signal input print control unit of rotary photoelectric encoder, in print control unit, be provided with printing initial value, print control unit is according to input signal and the output of printing initial value control printhead of rotary photoelectric encoder; It is characterized in that rotary photoelectric encoder is two, be arranged on respectively on paper feeding wheel and paper output wheel, the output signal input print control unit of two rotary photoelectric encoders; A paper sensor is installed between paper feeding wheel and printhead.
In described print control unit, be provided with counter, reading code signal switching value, counter adopts the umber of pulse metering of rotary photoelectric encoder; Print media front end is by paper feeding wheel and while arriving paper sensor, and counter counts from zero, and counter first carries out increment counting according to the umber of pulse of paper feeding wheel rotary photoelectric encoder; When counter equals reading code signal switching value, counter is switched to the umber of pulse of paper output wheel rotary photoelectric encoder and carries out increment counting; Wherein reading code signal switching value is more than or equal to paper and arrives the numerical value of counter when paper output wheel, the numerical value of counter when clearly this switching value is less than paper and leaves paper feeding wheel.
While having two adjacent print at least, adjacent print distributes along print media direction of advance vertical interlaced, and described reading code signal switching value is set according to adjacent two the printhead noninterlace print areas in print area.
Described noninterlace print area is the region of the blank content of adjacent two printhead prints.
Described noninterlace print area is that in print area, adjacent print is printed respectively the region without the staggered content of vertical splicing.
Described noninterlace print area is region when one of them printhead prints of adjacent print, another printhead are not printed in print area.
Described noninterlace print area be in print area adjacent print perpendicular to printing direction of advance, having an area of the pattern at a distance of 5 millimeters of above blank blocks up and down.
Because the length of print media is greater than the distance of paper feeding wheel and paper output wheel all the time, no matter when, print media all at least contacts with one of them feed roller.The paper feeding distance and position signal of the rotary photoelectric encoder on the feed roller of even running that what print control unit read is, paper enters or departs from the signal that feed roller impacts and do not pass to print control unit as the position signalling of printing, so the print signal of the utility model collection always is stable paper feeding signal, has improved thus printing precision; Owing to adopting into and out of the switching of paper wheel coding, can accurately read the positional information of print media, first according to the code printing of paper feeding wheel, enter the suitable opportunity after paper output wheel at paper, be switched to the code printing according to paper output wheel, just can not produce longer page front distance and page back distance, allow to use shorter print media.
In one way print system, adopt the rear collaborative work of multiple printhead splicings, printhead is interspersed perpendicular to paper feed direction, between each printhead, has relative position deviation.Entering letter wheel encoder and going out letter wheel encoder is asynchronous working, separately with the change in location of pulse signal independent feedback print media, in the time that the signal of print control unit foundation is switched to paper output wheel encoder from paper feeding wheel encoder, may produce the feedback error of print media position, worst error is 1 pulse equivalency, and then causes printhead maximum to shift to an earlier date or lag behind 1 pulse equivalency printing.For high-precision one way franking machine printing type, the pulse error of switching signal will show as the stitching error on pattern, and the pattern edge that adjacent print is printed just there will be very significantly stitching error.
Such as a straight line vertical with paper direction of advance is printed respectively epimere 51 and hypomere 52 by two printheads, front printhead according to paper feeding wheel code printing the hypomere of straight line, paper advances, rectilinear movement will be carried out the printing of straight line epimere to a rear printhead, at this moment carry out signal switching, signal is switched to paper output wheel encoder from paper feeding wheel encoder, because feedback error, a rear printhead first produces in advance or lags behind and prints, in this case, rear printhead prints straight line epimere out may stagger in vertical direction with front printhead prints straight line hypomere out, the straight line printing upper, hypomere is not just on same ideal line, this has just produced obvious pattern splicing error, human eye can be told this pattern dislocation.Paper moves on, the content that front printhead is switched to after paper output wheel code printing arrives rear printhead, the position feedback error of forward and backward printhead is just synchronous, and front and back printhead lags behind simultaneously or in advance, the print What after this no longer shows stitching error.So stitching error is to occur in this time point that two printheads are switched to paper delivery end-of-encode from Formfeed encode to occur, reflecting from distance is exactly the fixed range of adjacent print between paper direction of advance, it is the alternate position spike of adjacent print, if the width of empty frame between the jet orifice of adjacent print in accompanying drawing 3 is exactly the alternate position spike of adjacent print, the content in this distance is likely because signal switches the stitching error that causes print What.
The position gap of adjacent print from, select composed pattern region that human eye differentiates to go out or without the region of composed pattern as noninterlace print area, comply with this region and carry out setting signal switching value, can avoid pattern table to reveal stitching error.
In the utility model, noninterlace print area can be: print white space, the white space that adjacent print is not printed; Adjacent print respectively along print media direction of advance without the staggered area of the pattern of vertical splicing, adjacent print is printed separately, and there is no the staggered situation of vertical splicing; Or one of them does not print adjacent print, the region of another printhead prints; Or adjacent print is perpendicular to printing direction of advance, and the difficult alignment distance of differentiating of the human eye of being separated by, such as there being the area of the pattern at 5 millimeters of intervals on vertical.
