Definitions
- DE-AS 2516 149 discloses a device for keeping the distance between the print head of a matrix printer and the recording medium constant.
- the print head itself is slidably attached to the print carriage, is under the load of a spring acting between the print head and the slide, and adjusts its distance to the recording medium automatically via a feeler roller.
- the object of the invention is to provide a matrix printer, in which the printing gap can be predetermined and varied within predetermined ranges, without an automatic printing gap setting. This task has arisen from the requirement to create a structurally simple, inexpensive printer suitable for large series production.
- the object is achieved in a technically advanced manner by the invention in that the mobility required for positioning the printhead is placed in the displaceable insert frame and a rigid connection between the printhead and the carriage can thereby be established.
- This is a significant advantage in terms of production and manufacturing costs, because movement mechanisms on a moving part, while simultaneously fulfilling precise guidance of the moving parts, are very complex. This also reduces the mass of the moving parts, which can also reduce the drive power for the print head.
- Claim 2 shows that the pressure can be adjusted in a simple manner via eccentrics. If these eccentrics are non-rotatably connected to the guide rod, a simple rotation of the guide rod is sufficient to set a desired pressure gap.
- the insert frame with all units to be attached to it can be manufactured separately, regardless of the parts permanently installed in the printer housing.
- a simple form-fitting plug-in coupling is sufficient, which allows their coupling parts to be axially displaced from one another.
- the matrix printer shown in Fig. 1 has a print head 1 which is fixed immovably on a carriage 2. At the front end of the carriage 2, a cylindrical guide sleeve 3 is attached and attached to a guide rod 4. The guide rod 4 is arranged parallel to a platen 7 in the form of a friction roller. At both ends of the guide rod 4 there are eccentrics 5 and 6 which, under the action of a spring 23 (see FIG. 2), rest on corresponding parts of the printer housing 8.
- the guide rod 4 is held in an insert frame 9.
- a timing disk 12 is connected to the motor shaft of the main drive motor 11, which uses a light barrier 28 to determine the respective position of the print carriage 2 and thus the respective position Print position of the print head 1 reports a control, not shown.
- the drive system also includes a power take-off motor 13, which drives a shaft 16 with a worm gear 15 in one direction of rotation via a gear 26 and freewheels, not further described, and drives a drive shaft 14 of the ink ribbon system via this, and a line switching device 17 in another direction of rotation. Furthermore, a lancing freewheel 22 is provided for rotating the counterpart 7.
- the ribbon cassette includes an ink ribbon 21, which is drawn in a short section.
- the axis of the print head 1 is designated by a dash-dotted line 24.
- Fig. 2 shows the eccentric 5 which bears against the printer housing 8 under the action of the spring 23 and which here is to be connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the guide rod 4.
- a screw 26 is provided to fix the eccentric position.
- a slideway 27 of the printer housing 28 is indicated, on which the insert frame 9 rests.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Matrixdrucker gemäß Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1. Durch die DE-AS 2516 149 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Konstanthalten des Abstandes des Druckkopfes eines Matrixdruckers vom Aufzeichnungsträger bekannt. Dabei ist der Druckkopf selbst verschieblich auf dem Druckschlitten befestigt, steht unter der Auflast einer zwischen dem Druckkopf und dem Schlitten wirksamen Feder und stellt seinen Abstand zum Aufzeichnungsträger über eine Tastrolle selbsttätig ein.The invention relates to a matrix printer according to the preamble of claim 1. DE-AS 2516 149 discloses a device for keeping the distance between the print head of a matrix printer and the recording medium constant. The print head itself is slidably attached to the print carriage, is under the load of a spring acting between the print head and the slide, and adjusts its distance to the recording medium automatically via a feeler roller.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, unter Verzicht auf eine selbsttätige Druckspalteinstellung einen Matrixdrucker zu schaffen, bei dem der Druckspalt vorgegeben und in vorgegebenen Bereichen variiert werden kann. Diese Aufgabe ist aus der Forderung erwachsen, einen konstruktiv einfachen, für eine Großserienproduktion geeigneten, preiswerten Drucker zu schaffen.The object of the invention is to provide a matrix printer, in which the printing gap can be predetermined and varied within predetermined ranges, without an automatic printing gap setting. This task has arisen from the requirement to create a structurally simple, inexpensive printer suitable for large series production.
Erfindungsgemäß wird daher vorgeschlagen, den Matrixdrucker entsprechend den im Patentanspruch 1 niedergelegten Merkmalen zu gestalten. Auf Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung gemäß den Unteransprüchen wird verwiesen.According to the invention it is therefore proposed to design the matrix printer in accordance with the features set out in patent claim 1. Reference is made to embodiments of the invention according to the subclaims.
Durch die Erfindung wird die gestellte Aufgabe in technisch fortschrittlicher Weise dadurch gelöst, daß die zum Anstellen des Druckkopfes erforderliche Beweglichkeit desselben in den verschieblichen Einsatzrahmen gelegt und dadurch eine starre Verbindung zwischen Druckkopf und Schlitten hergestellt werden kann. Dies ist fertigungsmäßig und bezüglich der Fertigungskosten ein erheblicher Vorteil, weil Bewegungsmechanismen an einem bewegten Teil, unter gleichzeitiger Erfüllung einer präzisen Führung der bewegten Teile, sehr aufwendig sind. Außerdem verringert sich so die Masse der bewegten Teile, wodurch auch die Antriebsleistung für den Druckkopf reduziert werden kann.The object is achieved in a technically advanced manner by the invention in that the mobility required for positioning the printhead is placed in the displaceable insert frame and a rigid connection between the printhead and the carriage can thereby be established. This is a significant advantage in terms of production and manufacturing costs, because movement mechanisms on a moving part, while simultaneously fulfilling precise guidance of the moving parts, are very complex. This also reduces the mass of the moving parts, which can also reduce the drive power for the print head.
Patentanspruch 2 zeigt auf, daß die Druckeinstellung in einfacher Weise über Exzenter erfolgen kann. Werden diese Exzenter drehfest mit der Führungsstange verbunden, so genügt eine einfache Drehung der Führungsstange, um einen gewünschten Druckspalt einzustellen.
Fertigungsmäßig ergibt sich der weitere Vorteil, daß der Einsatzrahmen mit allen an ihn anzubauenden Einheiten unabhängig von den im Druckergehäuse fest eingebauten Teilen getrennt gefertigt werden kann. In kinematischen Verbindungen zwischen Antriebselementen des Druckergehäuses und des Einsatzrahmens genügt eine einfache formschlüssige Steckkupplung, die eine Axialverschiebung ihrer Kupplungsteile zueinander zuläßt.In terms of production, there is the further advantage that the insert frame with all units to be attached to it can be manufactured separately, regardless of the parts permanently installed in the printer housing. In kinematic connections between the drive elements of the printer housing and the insert frame, a simple form-fitting plug-in coupling is sufficient, which allows their coupling parts to be axially displaced from one another.
