Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for a printing unit pivotally mounted in a printer frame, which is displaceable parallel to a plurality of printing documents and can be pivoted to the printing positions by means of a pivoting motor and a pivoting gear, which is further arranged on a carriage, the carriage with the printing unit is movable on a guide between side parts arranged at a distance of the printing web width, and the slide, printing unit, side parts and guide can be pivoted together.
  • the printing unit with its printing point - the printing point is defined as the attachment point of the middle printing needle at a printing needle column in a mosaic printer - moves in a circular path from one printing position to the other relative to two different printing documents.
  • This type of movement of the print head from one print position to the other print position has the consequence that the overall arrangement requires a relatively large overall height, which is of little advantage for use in a printing device, for example to be arranged on a table, since then the printer would become so high that the operator could no longer see the upper printing position.
  • the printhead moves during its swiveling movement on a circular path (a very flat path) into the printing position, so that due to various paper guide parts which are arranged near the printing position on the printing base, the printhead can only be pivoted in certain longitudinal positions, so that the print head is not hindered by the mentioned paper guide parts.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a pivoting device for a printing unit with a relatively low overall height, which allows printing on several printing documents, so that a table workstation printer can be created, in which the operator can still follow the printing process on the upper printing pad.
  • the swivel device in such a way that a partial swiveling is also possible by stopping the swivel device after a certain smaller or larger angle.
  • the pivoting of the printing unit should be able to take place in any lateral position thereof.
  • a swivel gear is provided with a coupling curve groove fixed to the printer frame, in which a coupling is guided with its ends, with which the side parts or the guide are connected, and with an element of a swivel motor acting on the coupling and that printing points in the end positions of the printing unit intersecting printing point planes each intersect the coupling between their ends, the printing point planes each running perpendicular to the printing planes on the printing documents.
  • the swiveling device has the advantage that the printing unit moves on a very steep path into the printing position when pivoting, which has the advantage of a significantly smaller space requirement than the circular path.
  • one branch of the coupling curve groove is vertical, the other branch is horizontal and the printing planes run parallel to the connecting line between the end points of the coupling.
  • This arrangement has the advantage that a section is selected from the movement path of the swivel device, which causes the printing unit to move almost vertically into the printing position, in particular at the end of the swivel movement. Adverse component collisions with paper guides etc. are therefore avoided; the pivoting movement can be effected in any lateral position of the printing unit.
  • a swivel motor with a drive spindle is used as the drive element, which acts on the coupling via a nut connected to the coupling.
  • paddock has roles at its end points is provided, which are guided in the two branches of the coupling curve groove.
  • end position of the rollers in the branches of the coupling cam groove is limited by spring-loaded stop levers such that the springs are tensioned when the end position is reached.
  • a stepper motor is used as the swivel motor for the swivel device, digitized partial positioning of the swiveling printing unit is possible, with the result that the printing unit does not have to be swiveled to its other end position each time, but can only swivel it so far, for example that the view of the print image is released. Also, with such a partial positioning of the printing unit, a special retraction of the printing unit for the purpose of connecting the recording medium in rows is no longer necessary, which results in a simplification of the printing unit (printhead and carriage).
  • Another advantage of partial positioning is that the printing unit can only be pivoted, for example, by the width of a single printing needle. In this case, it is possible to print over the same line several times and print out the same data to produce a print that corresponds to the correspondence, because then the second print fills the gaps (rounding of the print needles) of the first print.
  • FIG. 1 can be seen in front of a printing pad 1, a printing unit 2, which consists of a carriage 3 and the actual print head 4, the mouthpiece 5 of which is located directly in front of the printing pad 1 via an ink ribbon 6 and inscribes a paper on the printing pad 1 with its printing needles, not shown.
  • the level in which the printing needles act on the base 1 is the first printing level 0 1 (FIG. 4).
  • the ink ribbon 6 is removed from a cassette 7, which consists of two parts 7a and 7b, which is arranged on a guide 8 to the right and left of the printing position 9.
  • the ink ribbon 6 is stored in part 7a of the cassette, is conveyed by drive means in part 7b and is guided in front of the printing position 9.
  • the printing unit 2 is mounted on a guide 10 which is held between two side parts 11 and 12.
  • a motor 13 is arranged on the right side part 11 and drives the printing unit 2 on the guide 10 via a pulley 14, a belt 15 and a further not shown pulley, so that it is displaced in the line direction to the pressure on the printing pad 1 to effect.
  • the second printing pad 16 (see FIG. 3) is arranged at an angle of approximately 90 ° to the first printing pad 1, in which case the printing unit 2 prints the pad from top to bottom.
  • the plane in which the print head 4 interacts with the second printing pad defines a second printing plane O 2 , perpendicular to this one can define two planes P 1 and P 2 in which the printing dots A 1 ' A 2 lie, ie the point in which the middle pressure needle the printing planes D 1 . D 2 touches.
  • the side parts 11, 12, the guide 10 and the printing unit 2 are pivoted by the pivoting device to be described below so that the print head 4 prints either on the printing pad 1 or on the printing pad 16.
  • the pivoting device for the printing unit 2 With the guide 10, and thus also with the side parts 11 and 12 is a coupling 17, which on the left side consists of the two parts 18 and 19, which are connected to each other.
  • the coupling 17 On the right side, the coupling 17 consists only of the part 19 with the rollers 20 and 21 attached to it, as can also be seen from FIGS. 2 and 3 results.
  • the two rollers 20 and 21 are rotatably attached to two corners of the square part 19 and are guided in two branches 22 and 23 of a coupling cam groove 24.
  • the rollers 20, 21 form the end points of the coupling 17.
  • the two branches 22 and 23 are grooves in a guide plate 25 fixedly attached to a printer frame 26.
  • the end positions of the two rollers 20 and 21 are limited by stop levers 27 and 28, which are under the action of springs 29 and 30. If the roller 21 in the position shown in FIG. 2 is the end position shown, the spring 30 is somewhat tensioned. As a result, the spring 30 supports this movement in the sense of an additional acceleration at the beginning of the movement of the coupling 17, so that the movement process can start up quickly. On the other hand, the spring 30 dampens the pivotal movement at the end thereof. The situation is similar with the stop lever 27. When the coupling 17 is in its other end position, see FIG. 3, then the roller 20 presses the stop lever 27 outwards, so that the spring 29 is slightly tensioned. Here, too, the spring 29 acts to accelerate the start-up of the pivoting device when another position is to be assumed and to dampen it. At the same time, the stop levers 27, 28 still relieve the weight.
  • a bracket part 31 is fastened to the coupling 17, in which a nut 32 is rotatably mounted.
  • a drive spindle 33 is guided through the nut 32 and is driven by a gearwheel 34 from the axis 35 of a swivel motor 36.
  • microswitches 38 and 39 are still attached, which cooperate with two switching levers 40 and 41.
  • the shift levers 40 and 41 are controlled by staggered bolts 42 on the parts 18 and 19 so that one microswitch in one end position of the coupling 17 and the other microswitch in the other end position of the coupling 17 is closed to the end positions of the transmission to report to the electronics.
  • the swivel motor 36 When pivoting, the swivel motor 36 is switched on. It drives the drive spindle 33 via the gearwheel 34, the nut 32 moves on the spindle 33 and thereby also the coupling 17 in FIG. 3 pivoted counterclockwise. The rollers 21 and 20 move in the coupling cam groove 24 from the position shown in FIG. 3 in the position shown in FIG. 2. In this sale, the printing unit 2 interacts with the printing pad 16. If, on the other hand, the swivel motor 36 is driven in the other direction, the coupling 17 with the two rollers 20 and 21 moves in the coupling curve groove 24 from the position according to FIG. 2 back to the position shown in FIG. 3. In this position, the printing unit 2 acts on the printing pad 1.
  • FIG. 4 shows a schematic representation in which the two pressure planes 0 1 , 0 2 , the two positions of the coupling 27 in the coupling curve groove 24 and the planes P 1 ' P 2 , which are perpendicular to the printing planes in the pressure points A 1' A 2 , recognizes.
  • the pressure point planes P "P 2 intersect the coupler vertically, but this is not necessary if, for example, the two branches 22, 23 of the coupling curve groove 24 have a different angular position to the pressure planes.
  • FIG Path B 1 on which the print head 4 moves between the printing substrates 1 and 16 or printing planes 0 1 and D 2. Compared to a circular path, the print head 4 is pulled back relatively quickly at the beginning of the pivoting movement and dips back into it at the end just as steeply the other print position.
  • FIG. 5 shows in a schematic representation that the two-part transmission consisting of coupling and coupling curve can also be designed differently.
  • a gearwheel 43 is the coupling which interacts with a fixed guide part (corresponding to the printer frame 26) 44 and an internal toothing 45 fastened thereon.
  • the diameter of the internal toothing 45 is twice as large as the diameter of the gear 43.
  • the drive spindle 33 and the swivel motor 36 then engage the gear 43 by means of a suitable connecting element in order to generate the rotary movement. If the gear 43 rotates clockwise, then it rolls on the internal toothing 45 until it has reached the dashed position after half a revolution.
  • the respective position of the print planes D 1 , D 2 and the print head 4 can also be seen.
  • the end points of the coupling 17 are the engagement points of the gear 43 with the internal toothing 45 in the two end positions, which are shown with a connecting line K. It can be seen that the print head 4 also travels a very steep path B 2 when pivoting between the pressure points A and A 2
