Definitions

  • the invention relates to a printing unit of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 and claim 4.
  • the recording medium is generally transported in line jumps by the transport device perpendicular to the line direction and printed line by line by the print head.
  • the print heads of modern printing units for example needle print heads or ink mosaic print heads that can be moved in the line direction or thermal print bars that are immobile in the line direction, must be kept with great accuracy at a very short distance from the recording medium during the printing process or must be held against the recording medium with a certain pressure force.
  • Typical application examples for printing units of the generic type are the printing units of receipt printers in cash registers, which have to process shingled receipts in the transport direction, and of printers for printing savings bank books or the like.
  • the platen has any suitable shape and can be designed, for example, as a bar with a flat writing surface or as a rotatable pressure roller.
  • the sensor arrangement is formed by a sensor roller or roller arranged on a swivel frame, which is formed by spring means is placed against the recording medium resting on the pressure bar fixedly arranged in the printer housing (DE-PS 22 48 262).
  • a guide bar extending parallel to the line direction is fastened to the swivel arm, against which the print head, which is movable perpendicular to the writing plane, rests resiliently via guide rollers.
  • This device is used only to control the distance between the print head and the print bar. You must also be equipped with means, not shown, for lifting the sensor rollers and the print head.
  • a device for transporting the recording medium must be provided regardless of the components described in DE-PS 22 48 262. This generally comprises transport rollers connected to a drive, counter-pressure rollers and means for placing the transport rollers against the recording medium and for lifting the transport rollers when a recording medium is to be inserted.
  • the structure of the known device is very complex since, in addition to the indispensable transport system with its drive and adjustment devices, it has an independent sensor arrangement, which in turn has a number of movably mounted components and means for actuating the sensor arrangement.
  • Another disadvantage of the known construction is seen in the fact that the transfer of the position of the sensor roller to the print head takes place via a series of bearing points which are moved when the sensor arrangement is put on or taken off and which are subject to particularly high wear. This wear manifests itself in an increasing misalignment of the printhead in the course of the use of the printing unit, so that a regular readjustment or a regular exchange of parts of the sensor arrangement is necessary.
  • US-A-4,227,819 already shows a printing unit of the type mentioned in the preamble of the new claim 1, in which a Platen and a drivable transport roller are arranged on a common carrier and can be adjusted together into their respective operating positions by means of a single drive. Both the platen and the transport roller are resiliently mounted on the common carrier.
  • the carrier 66 is adjusted between an inoperative position and a fixed predetermined operating position by an adjustment drive 120, 124, the transport roller first coming into contact with the counter roller 112 and then the platen against the stop at stops which are firmly aligned with the printhead.
  • IBM Technical Disclosure Bulletin Vol. 25, No. 10, page 5188 shows a solution in which, similar to DE 22 48 262, a feeler roller scans the thickness of the print carrier and adjusts the counter-bearing relative to the print head fixed perpendicular to the print carrier via a lever arrangement.
  • the feeler roller and lever arrangement is provided in addition to the transport rollers, so that this construction is also complex and expensive.
  • WO 85/04840 which falls under Art. 54 (3) EPC, shows an arrangement in which the transport roller and the platen are also arranged on a common carrier.
  • the thrust bearing is not fixedly mounted on the carrier, but can deflect downward against the force of springs.
  • the carrier is pivoted by means of an adjusting device until the transport roller rests on the counter roller.
  • the platen resiliently presses the print carrier against a lower surface of the print head by means of the springs.
  • the carrier must be lifted for the purpose of transporting the printing medium to such an extent that the printing medium is no longer clamped between the platen and the underside of the print head.
  • the object on which the invention is based is seen in creating a printing unit in which the distance between the print head and print carriers of different thicknesses can be precisely adjusted, in particular fixed stops associated with the print head and serving as spacers, which periodically retract the platen during Make print carrier transport necessary, should be avoided.
  • both alternative solutions solve this task with technical means that are partly the same but sometimes different.
  • the platen is fixed on the carrier, so that a certain setting of the carrier also a certain setting of the Platen and thus a certain distance of this platen corresponds to the printhead.
  • this fact is used for the regulation of the printing gap, in that the carrier is set during the printing process depending on the thickness of the material to be printed in a position in which there is a certain printing gap between the print head and the material lying on the platen.
  • this is achieved by using a limit switch which is actuated by the transport roller axis and regulates a predetermined pressure gap.
  • a major advantage of this first alternative is that the pressure of the transport roller is regulated independently of the thickness of the material to be printed.
  • the printhead does not perform an infeed or lift movement perpendicular to the writing plane.
  • print heads that can be moved in the line direction, for example, they can only be mounted so that they can move in this direction, which can be accomplished in a simple manner with robust and precise longitudinal guides.
  • a cross slide-like arrangement according to one of the known constructions with the accuracy problems that occur is not necessary.
  • the control of the distance or pressure between the print head and the platen is rather carried out by delivering the platen perpendicular to Writing plane, whereby the movable mounting of the platen can also be very simple, since this also only carries out a movement in one direction.
  • the transport rollers are also mounted on the support bearing the platen, so that only a single adjustment drive is required for the delivery and lifting of the platen and the transport rollers relative to the recording medium.
  • the resilient transmission means are tensioned by further delivery of the carrier until the correct distance of the print head with respect to the recording medium is reached in the first alternative, or until the transport rollers are sufficiently pressed against the second alternative.
  • the transport device can at the same time take on the task of a thickness sensing device, since the transport roller interacts with one (or more) counter-rollers precisely aligned with the print head and, in this way, also causes the print platen to be precisely aligned with the print head due to the mechanical coupling via the common carrier . Since only one roller system is suitable for the transport and for sensing the strength of the record carrier or document; While separate pressure systems must also be provided in the case of separate transport and feeler rollers, a single pressure system is sufficient in the present invention.
  • the adjustment drive of the carrier is designed as a positioning drive, a limit switch which can be actuated by the displaceable transport roller axis being arranged on the carrier and which controls the positioning drive in such a way that the displaceable transport roller axis assumes a desired position relative to the carrier, in which the pressure spring is one certain spring force corresponding to the desired pressure force.
  • the adjustment drive of the carrier receives the command to deliver it.
  • the limit switch has a position that corresponds to the delivery command of the adjustment drive.
  • the displaceable transport roller axis drives a translation lever which is pivotably mounted on the carrier and increases the displacement movement of the transport roller axis, the output end of which actuates the limit switch and is acted upon by the pressure spring.
  • the transport roller is arranged in a fixed position on the carrier, the adjusting drive of the carrier being designed as a linear adjusting drive, each with a disengaged position and a switching position corresponding to the engaging position, and with a resilient transmission device between the adjusting drive and the carrier is provided which enables an overstroke of the adjustment drive which goes beyond the stroke corresponding to the engagement position. If, when the carrier is delivered, the transport roller lies against the document and the pressure bar has reached its writing position, the adjustment drive carries out its overstroke and thereby tensions the resilient transmission device, the spring force achieved thereby determining the pressure force of the transport roller.
  • the carrier is designed, for example, as a frame which is adjustably mounted on the printer housing via a parallel link arrangement.
  • the transport drive connected to the transport roller can be arranged in the printer housing, the drive connection being designed, for example, as a cardan shaft because of the relative movement between the transport roller and the transport drive; In a preferred embodiment of the invention, however, the transport drive is also arranged on the carrier, it being possible for the drive connection between the transport roller and the transport drive to be rigid.
  • the printing unit 2 shown schematically in FIG. 1 is arranged in a printer housing 4. It comprises a print head 6, a pressure beam 8 serving as a pressure counter bearing, one or more transport rollers 10 lying next to one another for further transport of the recording medium 12 in the direction of the arrow 14 and counter rollers 16 serving as counter bearings for the transport rollers 10.
  • the pressure beam 8 and the transport rollers 10 are in one Carrier 18 arranged, which is adjustably mounted in the printer housing 4 in the direction of arrow 20. The for storage and adjustment of the carrier 18 in the direction of The means provided for by arrow 20 are described further below.
  • the transport roller axis 22 is not mounted directly on the carrier 18, but rather on a transmission lever 24, which in turn is pivotably mounted on the carrier 18 about the axis 26.
  • the transport roller axis 22 on an arc around the axis 26, i. H. thus essentially shift in a direction corresponding to the adjustment direction 20 of the carrier 18 relative to the carrier 18.
  • the free end of the translation lever 24 is acted upon by a pressure spring 28, which this end in the pressure direction, i. H. so loaded in the direction of arrow 30.
  • a limit switch 32 with three contact blades 34, 35, 36; the middle contact lamella 35 can be moved from an upper switching position shown in FIG. 1 via a neutral position into a lower switching position shown in FIG. 2 by an actuating projection 38 formed on the transmission lever 24.
  • the upper switch position according to FIG. 1 activates the adjustment drive for the carrier 18 in the pressing direction 30, the lower switch position according to FIG. 2 activates it in the opposite direction; the adjustment drive is not activated in the intermediate neutral position.
  • the printing unit is in a state ready for inserting the recording medium 12.
  • the record carrier 12 is inserted between the print head 6 and the print bar 8 until it abuts a stop 40.
  • a suitable sensor detects that a recording medium 12 has been inserted and activates the adjustment drive for the support 18. Since the limit switch 32 has a switch position which corresponds to an actuation of the adjustment drive in the sense of an infeed of the support 18 in the direction of arrow 30, it moves the carrier 18 upwards and places the recording medium 12 against the counter rollers 16.
  • the transport roller axis 22 is displaced downward relative to the carrier 18 against the force of the pressure spring 28.
  • the contact plate 35 is lifted by the actuating extension 38 from the contact plate 34, so that the adjustment drive stops.
  • the pressure bar 8 has at the same time its correct writing distance from the print head 6, so that the printing unit is ready for writing.
  • the transport drive for the transport rollers 10 and the print head 6 are activated in a known manner, so that the recording medium 12 z. B. line by line is described.
  • the stop 40 has been moved from its operating position shown in FIG. 1 to the inoperative position shown in FIG. 2, as will be explained in more detail further below.
  • the transport rollers 10 simultaneously fulfill the task of determining the thickness of the recording medium 12 and of controlling the print distance between the print head 6 and the print bar 8. If the recording medium 12 z. B. has a decreasing strength with increasing feed movement, as is often the case with till receipts or the like, then the transport rollers 10 shift when reaching each step relative to the carrier 18 by an amount corresponding to the step height.
  • the actuation extension 38 stands out from the central contact plate 35, which comes into contact with the upper contact plate 34, so that the adjustment drive of the carrier 18 moves the latter upwards until the limit switch 32 returns to its neutral position.
  • the transport rollers 10 move downwards relative to the carrier 18, the middle and lower contact lamella 35 and 36 coming into contact, so that the carrier 18 is adjusted downward until the limit switch 32 is again its Neutral position, while the transport roller 10 has its correct pressure, the pressure bar 8 has its correct writing distance to the print head 6.
  • the stop 40 consists of a stop plate 42 which is approximately perpendicular to the writing plane and is mounted in the printer housing 4 so as to be pivotable about an axis 46 via an arm 44 which is at right angles thereto.
  • a tension spring 48 acts on the arm 44, the free end of which is firmly connected to the carrier 18 at an attachment point 50.
  • the fastening point 50 is in the lowered position of the carrier 18 according to FIG. 3 somewhat below the axis 46, so that the stop 40 is held in the operating position shown.
  • the fastening point 50 When the carrier 18 is moved in the direction of the arrow 30, the fastening point 50 also moves upward, so that the stop 40 is tilted to the left when a certain dead center is exceeded, the stop plate 42 withdrawing from the writing plane defined by the recording medium 12 and enables the further transport of the record carrier. When the carrier 18 is lowered, the stop 40 snaps back into its operating position.
  • the mounting of the carrier 18, which can be adjusted in the direction of the arrow 20, is carried out via a parallel link arrangement according to FIG. In Fig. 5 is only the locking bar facing the viewer 52 shown.

  • the carrier 18 is in its lower position, in which the transport rollers are disengaged, the print bar is removed from the print head.
  • the adjustment bolt 52 moves to the right (in FIG. 7)
  • the pivot points 58, 64 which are firmly connected to the adjustment bolt 52 are moved into the positions 58 ′, 64 ′ shown in FIG. 6.

  • the slot 68 formed in the printer housing allows only a vertical one Displacement of the fulcrum 66. Since the carrier 18 can also only perform a vertical movement with respect to the fulcrum 66 via the slot 70 formed therein, the carrier 18 is lifted vertically upwards without any lateral movement.
  • Fig. 8 again shows the printing unit 2 with the printer housing 4, the carrier 18 adjustable therein in the direction of the arrow 20, the transport rollers 10 arranged on the carrier and the pressure bar 8, further with the print head 6 and the counter rollers 16.
