Description

DK 166667 B1DK 166667 B1

Opfindelsen angår en printer af den art, der afgiver ark enkeltvis, og som er udstyret med en arkudtagningsmekanisme for det trykte ark, og hvor der efter arkudtagningsmekanismen i forhold til arkbevægelsesret-5 ningen findes en sporskiftemekanisme indrettet til at lede de enkelte trykte ark, med den trykte side vendende opad, til en første samlebakke, eller med den trykte side vendende nedad, til en anden samlebakke, og hvor sporskiftemekanismen indbefatter et styreorgan, der har 10 tværsnitsform som en trekant, hvis top peger mod arkudtagningsmekanismen, hvilket styreorgan er indrettet til ved rotation om en aksel, der er parallel med arkudgangen, at omstilles mellem to arbejdspositioner ved hvilke toppen på nævnte trekant-tværsnit i styreorganet be-15 finder sig på den ene side, henholdsvis den anden side af arkudgangen.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a single-sheet printer of the printed sheet equipped with a printed sheet withdrawal mechanism, and wherein, according to the sheet removal mechanism relative to the sheet movement direction, there is a track switching mechanism adapted to guide the individual printed sheets. the printed side facing upwards, to a first collection tray, or with the printed side facing downwards, to a second collection tray, and wherein the track switching mechanism includes a guide member having a cross-sectional shape as a triangle, the top of which points to the sheet withdrawing mechanism, which guide is adapted to by rotating about a shaft parallel to the sheet exit, to be switched between two working positions at which the top of said triangular cross-section of the guide is located on one side or the other side of the sheet outlet, respectively.

Et arrangement af denne art er kort beskrevet og vist i JP-A-58/157678.An arrangement of this kind is briefly described and shown in JP-A-58/157678.

Det kendte arrangement har imidlertid diverse 20 ulemper.However, the known arrangement has various disadvantages.

For det første indbefatter det kendte arrangement, som er beregnet til at foretage en ret indviklet sortering, mange indbyrdes ledforbundne dele, som kræver flere aktiveringsorganer. Et sådant arrangement ud-25 sættes for slid, fungerer lidet tilfredsstillende og kræver hyppigt og kostbart eftersyn.First, the known arrangement, which is intended to make a rather complicated sort, includes many interconnected parts which require multiple actuators. Such an arrangement is subject to wear, functions poorly and requires frequent and costly inspection.

Dertil kommer, at arkene ledes ved hjælp af styreorganer, der har form som en trekant med buede sider og som udgøres af separate plader. De aktive flader på 30 disse styreorganer, dvs. ledefladerne, der tjener til at lede de fra printeren udgående ark til den pågældende samlebakke, udgøres kun af kanterne af pladerne, hvilket indebærer en usikker styring over hele bredden af arket. Desuden kan denne form for styring tilpasses 35 en given arkbredde ved indstilling af mellemrummet mellem pladerne, men der kan ikke styres breddeforskellige ark uden modifikation af denne indstilling.In addition, the sheets are guided by guide means having the shape of a triangle with curved sides and formed by separate plates. The active surfaces of these control means, viz. the guide surfaces which serve to guide the sheets extending from the printer to the respective bin are formed only by the edges of the plates, which implies uncertain control over the entire width of the sheet. In addition, this kind of control can be adapted to a given sheet width by adjusting the space between the plates, but no width difference sheets can be controlled without modifying this setting.

Opfindelsen tager således sigte på at afhjælpe ulemperne ved den nuværende udformning af printere og give mulighed for opsamling af trykte ark enten ved frontsiden eller ved bagsiden af printeren, med den 5 trykte arkside vendende opad eller nedad.The invention thus aims to alleviate the disadvantages of the present design of printers and to allow the collection of printed sheets either at the front or the back of the printer, with the printed sheet side facing up or down.

Med henblik herpå er en printer af den indledningsvis angivne art ifølge opfindelsen ejendommelig ved, at styreorganet er udformet som en diedrisk flade, der strækker sig over hele længden af arkudgangen, at 10 de to arkstyrende flader på det diedriske styreorgan er konkave, og at hver ende af styreorganet har en styrearm, der opstrøms for arkudtagningsmekanismens valser er drejeligt lejret om akslen.To this end, a printer of the type initially described in the invention is characterized in that the guide means is formed as a deadly surface extending over the entire length of the sheet exit, that the two sheet guide surfaces of the deadly guide are concave and that each end of the guide means has a guide arm which is rotatably mounted about the shaft of the sheet withdrawal mechanism rollers.

For en bruger, der befinder sig foran frontsiden 15 af printeren kan nævnte første samlebakke hensigtsmæssigt befinde sig på bagsiden af arkudgangen, medens nævnte anden samlebakke befinder sig på frontsiden af arkudgangen og lige foran brugeren.For a user located in front of the front side 15 of the printer, said first collection tray may conveniently be located on the back of the sheet exit, while said second collection tray is located on the front side of the sheet outlet and directly in front of the user.

Hensigtsmæssigt kan arksamlebakkerne i hovedsa-20 gen være horisontale.Conveniently, the sheet tray bins can generally be horizontal.

Med denne udformning opnår man en printer, hvor der er to muligheder for arkopsamling, hvilket opnås med.midler, der er enkle både i udformning og i anvendelse. Herved gøres printeren smidigere, da operatøren 25 er i stand til på et nemt tilgængeligt sted at få arkene opsamlet i sidenummereringsorden og klar til sammenhæftning, men samtidig også er i stand til at få arkene opsamlet med den trykte side vendende opad med henblik på f.eks. permanent at kunne kontrollere prin-30 terfunktionen.With this design, a printer is obtained in which there are two options for sheet collection, which is achieved with means that are simple in both design and use. This makes the printer smoother as the operator 25 is able to have the sheets picked up in page numbering order and ready for stitching in an easily accessible place, but at the same time also able to have the sheets collected with the printed side facing up for f. eg. permanently being able to control the printer function.

Opfindelsen forklares nærmere i det følgende under henvisning til den skematiske tegning, hvor fig. 1 og 2 viser en del af en printer ifølge opfindelsen i to forskellige arbejdsstillinger.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the schematic drawing, in which fig. 1 and 2 show part of a printer according to the invention in two different working positions.

35 Ved 1 betegnes huset 1 til en printer, hvis printmekanisme yderst skematisk antydes ved 2. Pilen 3 3 DK 166667 B1 angiver bevægelsesbanen for papirarkene. Efter trykning føres disse ark enkeltvis til en udgang 4, ved hvilken der findes en arkudtagningsmekanisme 5, som består af to kontraroterende valser 6, der er i anlæg mod hinan-5 den, og hvoraf den ene drives i rotation ved hjælp af på tegningen ikke viste drivmidler. I det viste udførelseseksempel antages det, at arkene udgår i opadgående retning med tilnærmelsesvis vertikal arkføring.35 At 1, the housing 1 is referred to as a printer whose printing mechanism is very schematically indicated by 2. Arrow 3 3 DK 166667 B1 indicates the path of movement of the sheets of paper. After printing, these sheets are fed individually to an output 4, in which there is a sheet removal mechanism 5, which consists of two counter-rotating rollers 6 abutting each other 5, one of which is rotated by means of the drawing propellants. In the illustrated embodiment, it is assumed that the sheets extend in an upward direction with approximately vertical sheet guide.

Det antages, at maskinens frontside befinder sig 10 til højre som vist ved AV og bagsiden til venstre som vist ved AR.It is assumed that the front of the machine is 10 to the right as shown by AV and the back to the left as shown by AR.

Ud for området for kontakt mellem valserne 6 findes der et sporskift 7, der består af et styreorgan 8, som strækker sig over hele længden af maskinudgangen, 15 og som er udformet med en mod valserne vendende diedrisk styreflade 9 med toppen 10 af rumvinklen pegende mod valserne. Por at arkene nemmere kan styres i en glidende bevægelse, er begge dele 9a og 9b af denne styreflade konkave.Beside the area of contact between the rollers 6, there is a track shift 7 consisting of a guide member 8 extending over the entire length of the machine output 15 and formed with a deadly guide surface 9 facing the rollers with the top 10 of the room angle pointing towards rollers. Because the sheets can be more easily steered in a sliding motion, both portions 9a and 9b of this guide surface are concave.

20 Ved begge sine ender har styreorganet 8 bærearme 11, der på tegningen strækker sig nedad, og som er drejeligt lejret ved 12 på maskinens stativ, således at dette styreorgan ved hjælp af ikke viste, manuelt aktiverbare eller fjernstyrede midler kan bringes til at 25 vippe fra §n position til en anden. Bevægelsesamplituden begrænses ved hjælp af ikke viste stop.20 At both ends thereof, the guide member 8 has supporting arms 11 extending downwardly in the drawing and pivotally mounted at 12 on the machine stand so that this guide means can be tilted by means of the manually shown or remotely controlled means not shown. from one position to another. The motion amplitude is limited by stops not shown.

I den første position, der er vist i fig. 1, befinder den diedriske styreflades top 10 sig til venstre for kontaktlinien mellem valserne 6 og et ark, 30 der føres opad til den konkave flade 9a, bøjes ud til højre i retning (pilen 3a) mod maskinens frontside, således at den trykte side på arket vender nedad. Disse ark opsamles i en bakke 14, der på frontsiden er placeret foran operatøren, og arkene ligger i normal side-35 nummereringsorden.In the first position shown in FIG. 1, the top 10 of the deadly guide surface is to the left of the contact line between the rollers 6 and a sheet 30 which is directed upwardly to the concave surface 9a is bent to the right in the direction (arrow 3a) towards the front side of the machine so that the printed side of the the sheet faces down. These sheets are collected in a tray 14 located on the front of the operator and the sheets are in the normal page-35 numbering order.

I den anden position, der er vist i fig. 2, be-In the second position shown in FIG. 2, be-
