Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram of exemplary modular printing system 10, and modular printing system 10 has the transmission assembly 14 of carrying one or more workpiece WP for the array 40 with respect to one or more print bar 42.Fig. 2 is side-looking Figure 60 of exemplary improved modular printing system 10.Fig. 3 is detailed part perspective Figure 80 of the exemplary transmission assembly 14 that is associated with improved modular printing system 10.

Exemplary transmission assembly 14 shown in Fig. 1 is included in a plurality of rollers 16 of rotatably installing with respect to underframe 12, for example 16a, 16b, between the conveyer belt 18 that extends.The exemplary improved modular printing system 10 shown in Fig. 1 that is to be understood that only provides the simplification view of print system 10.For example, transmit assembly 14 and may further include one or more additional rollers, the idler roller 52 being for example associated with strainer 72 (Fig. 2), and/or roller 16 and conveyer belt 18 may further include band mutual interlocking gear 96 (Fig. 3), such as, but be not limited to intermeshing a plurality of teeth 96.And improved print system 10 can preferably comprise that additional structure and mechanism are provided for the dimensional tolerance of the raising in any setting, operation or life-span.

Exemplary transmission assembly 14 shown in Fig. 1 is typically operated by driving mechanism 26, driving mechanism 26 controllably makes in roller 16, for example roller 16a rotation, thereby produce the movement 32 of conveyer belt 32, one or more like this workpiece WP (for example ceramic tile WP) is controllably moved, thereby for example in the one or more positions with respect to system 10, is operated.Although here with reference to one or more workpiece WP, ceramic tile WP for example, exemplary print system 10 is described, should be understood that, for with other workpiece or stock, such as, but be not limited to any print system being associated 10 in paper, film, fabric or other manufactured materials, can easily implement structure described herein and system.

Driving mechanism 26 typically comprises drive motor 142 (Fig. 6) and for example transmits the coupling mechanism of driver 144 (Fig. 6), and wherein drive motor 142 is controllably powered by the controller 20 of for example programmable logic controller (PLC) (PLC).Driving mechanism 26 can preferably comprise one or more improved structures, thereby provide, highly accurately and repeatably locates and moves.

Improved modular printing system 10 can preferably comprise encoder 28, thereby the movement 32 of the accurate control of conveyer belt 18 is for example provided by driving mechanism 26.Controller 20 typically comprises one or more processors 22,22a-22e for example, and can comprise for example memory 24 of internal memory, for example for but be not limited to any operating parameter of storage, threshold value, operation history and/or track record.Controller 20 is typically configured to control all movements and the operation in print system 10, for example for but be not limited to by the movement of the conveyer belt 18 of driving mechanism 26 and print bar 42, for example co-operating of 42a-42h.

As shown in Figure 1, display 34 and user interface 36 are also typically connected to controller 20, thereby the input from for example operator's user USR is for example provided, thereby and/or provide information to user USR.And print system 10 may further include communication link 46, controller 20 can preferably be configured to be sent output signal 48 and/or received input signal 50 by communication link 46.

Exemplary improved modular printing system 10 shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 is configured to print on ceramic tile WP, and can preferably comprise one or more workpiece guiding 98 (Fig. 3), workpiece guiding 98 is positioned at the upstream of one or more print bars 42, for example inlet region 86 (Fig. 3) of conveyer belt 18.The ceramic tile WP being placed on conveyer belt 18 can not need highly precisely to locate at the beginning, and/or can be twisted, namely rotation.The appropriate location of ceramic tile WP on conveyer belt 18 guaranteed in workpiece guiding 98, for example, in centre, and guarantees that ceramic tile WP is straight acceptably, for example, in acceptable threshold value.

Exemplary improved modular printing system 10 shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 can preferably comprise the improved tensioning guiding mechanism 72 for conveyer belt 18.For example, during for example any initial setting up, band replacement or other maintenance, threaded mechanism, be that screw mechanism 102 (Fig. 4) can be moved rotatably, thereby for example provide roller 16, for example 16a and 16b, between the intense adjustment of linear range, to obtain the tensioning that required of for example being recommended by the manufacturer of conveyer belt 18 of conveyer belt 18.

Similarly, for the parallel adjustment between roller 16, strainer 72 can preferably comprise at least one that is arranged in roller 16, for example 16a or 16b, opposite side on a pair of leading screw (guide screws) 102, for example 102a and 102b.One or two in leading screw 102, for example 102a and/or 102b, can be preferably adjustable, to realize parallel between roller 16 and conveyer belt 18, namely realizes between the axis of roller 16 and the longitudinal axis of conveyer belt 18 and be 90 degree.

In certain embodiments, the leading screw group 102 that for example the first roller 16 of 16a is associated can be when corresponding roller 16 can not be adjusted parallel or tensioning (namely there is no locking), for example, when the position of the relative roller 16 of for example 16b is held, be taken as main or basic for parallel adjustable guide mechanism 102.Similarly, for example 16 pairs, the relative roller of 16b is parallel or tensioning in any one can be adjustable, namely there is no locking, for example, when the position of the relative roller 16 of for example 16a is held.Then operator USR can determine when roller 16 is aimed at (guaranteeing that like this conveyer belt 18 is parallel with relative roller 16) and suitably aims at conveyer belt 18 with workpiece guiding 98.

Once conveyer belt 18 is adjusted to parallel and has sufficient tensioning, screw mechanism 102 is tightened, and original place is got back in workpiece guiding 98.Once complete, operator USR can start improved modular printing system 10 with test pattern, thereby for example confirms that guiding is not for example due to excessive friction heating.If no, improved modular printing system 10 can be devoted oneself to work or turn back to work.If the temperature of workpiece guiding 98 excessively raises in test process, operator or attendant USR can repeat one or more steps where necessary, and retest.

When conveyer belt 18 is all considered to parallel and suitable tensioning with roller 16, operator USR is mark 112 (Fig. 5) conveyer belt 18 and workpiece guiding 98 preferably, then another part from the part of system to system, for example opposite end 86,88, rotatably moving conveyor belt 18, namely make conveyer belt 18 advance, the position of this tense marker 112 can be determined and can be compared with the position of being expected, thereby for example calculates the difference in millimeter.The difference of calculating provides the indication whether conveyer belt 18 has any slip, and it is no problem namely to confirm to arrange in operating process.

After arranging, the owner or operator USR typically do not need to reset tolerance, because roller 16 and conveyer belt 18 are stable dimensionally, for example, in the life expectancy that for example can meet or exceed 2 years Acceptable lifes of conveyer belt 18, be stable.
