Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of non-contact fluid marking devices which are commonly known as “ink-jet” or “fluid-jet” devices. More particularly, the present invention relates to the method and assembly to mount an orifice plate to a fluid-jet device and to the apparatus used in the mounting operation.
  • Ink-jet devices in and of themselves are well known through e.g. U.S. Patent Nos. 3,373,437 to Sweet et al; 3,560,988 to Krick; 3,579,721 to Kaltenbach; and 3,596,275 to Sweet.
  • prior art ink-jet devices provide a linear array of fluid-jet orifices formed in an orifice plate from which filaments of pressurized marking fluid (e.g. ink, dye, etc.) are caused to issue from a fluid supply chamber.
  • An individually controllable electrostatic charging electrode is disposed downstream of the orifice plate along the so-called "drop-formation" zone.
  • the fluid filament is caused to assume an electrical potential opposite in polarity and related in magnitude to the electrical potential of its respective charging electrode.
  • this induced electrostatic charge is then trapped on and in the droplet.
  • subsequent passage of the charged droplet through an electrostatic field will cause the droplet to be deflected towards a catching structure.
  • Uncharged droplets on the other hand proceed along the normal droplet flight path and are eventually deposited upon a recording substrate.
  • solder techniques to rigidly fix an orifice plate to an orifice plate holder.
  • solder techniques are disadvantageous in that bowing of the orifice plate occurs due to differential thermal expansion and temperature variances between the orifice plate and the orifice plate holder. This phenomenon is, at least in part, thought to be caused by the fact that the solder technique precludes intimate planar contact between the various structural components.
  • Hunt '791 relates to the means which permit the positioning and alignment of a jet of printing liquid which issues from a hole in a disc.
  • Hunt '791 provides a compressible washer retained in recess.
  • the disc bears against the compressible washer and is held in position by a plate which defines a central hole.
  • a trio of aligned holes in the plate and bottom flange of housing couple the plate to the bottom flange so as to capture the disc between the plate and the washer in the central recess.
  • Bader etal '013 disclose a leaf spring secured to a print head in overlying fashion with respect to nozzle plate.
  • Bader et al '103 require that the orifice plate be fixed to the print head by means of screws in addition to the securing functions provided by the leaf spring.
  • Lundquist et al '435 merely disclose that a holder can be threadably coupled to the forward end of a block so to provide an easily removable mounting from the nozzle (see FIGURE 2).
  • White et al '901 disclose a sandwich-type structure for mounting an orifice plate to a base. The screws are required by White et al's '901 structure to pass through each element of the sandwich-type structure including the orifice plate 16.
  • Paranjpe et al '899 relate to a formed orifice plate which defines a trough having outwardly extended flanges.
  • the trough-like orifice plate of Paranjpe et al '899 is dependently supported in the orifice plate holder.
  • the present invention provides for a method and an assembly whereby axial bowing of the orifice plate is prevented by maintaining the planar orifice plate against a planar surface defined on an orifice plate holder.
  • a pair of clamp members accomplish this function, each of which includes a clamp body defining a vertical guide surface which slidably cooperates with a vertical guide surface formed on the exterior of a manifold assembly.
  • Each damp member also includes a horizontally outwardly extended arm which defines at its terminal end a substantially planar contact surface. Suitable securing elements such an machine bolts or the like extend through the clamp body so as to bridge the clamp body and manifold assembly.
  • each securing element causes the planar contact surface at the terminal end of each clamp arm to exert a clamping force against the planar orifice plate and, in turn, to also exert a clamping force between the planar orifice plate and the recessed planar surface of the manifold assembly.
  • This advantageous planar contact exerted upon the orifice plate in a narrow region laterally of the linear array of orifices by means of the planar contact surface of each clamp arm advantageously prevents bowing of the orifice plate as forces will be evenly distributed along the axial length thereof.
  • each of the clamp members is provided with hinge means consisting of one or more hinge elements which connect the clamp members to the manifold assembly for engagement and disengagement with the planar surface of the orifice plate.
  • hinge means consisting of one or more hinge elements which connect the clamp members to the manifold assembly for engagement and disengagement with the planar surface of the orifice plate.
  • hinge means in accordance with the invention is that it facilitates the precise mounting of the clamping members, thereby further ensuring that the clamping forces applied against the orifice plate will be uniformly distributed and will thus prevent bowing about the orifice plate longitudinal axis.
  • the use of hinges also ensures that the clamping members will establish substantially perpendicular planar contact with the orifice plate, thereby preventing the plate from shifting sideways (and misaligning the lihear array of orifices) during a printing operation.
  • the present invention also contemplates mounting the orifice plate so as to maintain the orifice plate under tension between its opposing ends.
  • the invention therefore provides two methods and related apparatus for placing the orifice plate under the desired amount of tension.
  • the orifice plate is rigidly fixed (by means of clamps or the like) at one end and is then thermally expanded so as to increase the lengthwise dimension of the orifice plate by a predetermined amount (preferably in an amount not greater than 1/16 inch).
  • a predetermined amount preferably in an amount not greater than 1/16 inch
  • one end of the orifice plate is again rigidly secured by means of clamping members.
  • the other end of the orifice plate is coupled to a stretching (tensioning) apparatus comprising (1) a fixed member which is rigidly secured to the fluid jet manifold assembly; (2) a movable member operatively connected to the orifice plate; and (3) means for adjusting the position of the movable member relative to the fixed member in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the orifice plate.
  • the tensioning device may be manually adjusted to place the orifice plate under a predetermined amount of tension. Thereafter, the tensioned and extended plate may be rigidly fixed into position on the manifold assembly.
  • a fluid-jet apparatus 10 in which the present invention finds particular utility is shown in accompanying FIGURE 1.
  • the fluid-jet apparatus 10 generally includes a manifold assembly 12 which defines a fluid supply chamber 14.
  • the lower end of supply chamber 14 establishes an outlet slot 16 so that fluid can pass through a linear array of orifices 18 defined in orifice plate 20.
  • Fluid filament 22a issuing from each orifice 18 breaks into individual droplets 22h.
  • an electrostatic charge is placed upon selected ones of droplets 22b by means of charging electrode 24.
  • Charged ones of droplets 22b are then deflected by deflection electrode 26 towards catching structure 28 while uncharged ones of droplets 22 b proceed on to substrate 30 so as to be deposited thereon and form indicia, patterns or the like generally represented by numeral 32.
  • Orifice plate 20 is shown in a greatly enlarged manner in FIGURE 1 for clarity of presentation. As can be seen, orifice plate 20 is mounted to manifold assembly 12 by means of a pair of laterally opposing clamp members 40. Accompanying FIGURES 2 and 3 more clearly show the clamp members 40 of the present invention.
  • the clamping assembly of the present invention includes a pair of clamp members 40 in opposing relationship to one another.
  • Each clamp member 40 includes a clamp body 44 and a substantially horizontally extending clamp arm 46, the clamp arm 46 thereby defining a bearing surface 47 to bear against the orifice plate 20 when clamp body 44 is clamped to manifold assembly 12 and to maintain a slight clearance between arm 46 and plate 20.
  • Each clamp body 44 also defines a substantially vertical bearing surface 48 which cooperates with a respective one of the vertical bearing surfaces 50 of manifold assembly 12.
  • Manifold assembly 12 is preferably a split-bodied design having upper and lower manifold members 12a, 12b, respectively.
  • the fluid supply chamber 14 is fitted with a turbulence damping structure 13 as more fully disclosed in U.S. Application Serial No. 720,735 to Sutera et al filed April 8, 1985, entitled "BAFFLE TO MINIMIZE TURBULENCE WITHIN ORIFICE PLATE".
  • Each clamp body 44 includes an aperture 45 so that a bolt 52 or like threaded securing means can be placed in recessed surface 54 in registry with a threaded aperture 45a of manifold assembly 12 so as to bridge the space 56 defined between the clamp body 44 and the manifold assembly 12 (see FIGURE 3).
  • the upper end of each clamp body 44 includes a vertically extending flange portion 58 establishing a seating surface 60 which bears against the horizontal opposing surface 62 of the clamp body 44.
  • bearing contact is established between the manifold assembly 12 and the bearing surface 60 of the flange 58 on the one hand and the manifold assembly 12 and the planar surface 47 of the clamp arm 44 through the orifice plate 20 on the other hand so that an advantageous force distribution therebetween occurs. That is, upon tightening of the bolts 52, the linear contact areas established by the planar bearing surface 47 of the clamp arm 46 and the bearing surface 60 of the flange 58 will uniformly distribute the forces applied against the orifice plate 20 so as to substantially prevent bowing thereof about the elongated axis of plate 20.
  • one end 68 of orifice plate 20 be provided with an aperture 70 which registers with a fixed-position peg 72 formed on the manifold assembly 12, particular attention being directed to accompanying FIGURE 4 for the discussion which follows.
  • the other end 74 of the orifice plate 20 is preferably provided with an opening 76 which is enlarged in the axial direction of orifice plate 20 and which accepts a second fixed-position peg 78 therein.
  • Heat is then applied directly to the orifice plate 20 so as to effect thermal expansion thereof.
  • Any suitable means to heat and thus thermally expand the orifice plate can be utilized such as electrical resistance heating, heated air, etc. Most preferred however is the use of heated air (e.g., 180°F) directly impinging upon the orifice plate 20.
  • heated air e.g. 180°F
  • the thermal expansion of the orifice plate 20 is visually perceived by noting displacement of the indicator line 82 (etched onto the exterior visible surface of the orifice plate 20) relative to the scale 84 (etched onto the visible surface of the manifold assembly 12).
  • the scale 84 is subdivided into a plurality of lines having 1/32 inch centers.
  • the other end 74 of the orifice plate 20 is rigidly fixed in position relative to the manifold assembly 12 by means of a screw and clamp assembly 86 thereby maintaining the orifice plate in its thermally-expanded length.
  • the orifice plate 2 0 is then allowed to cool to ambient temperature while being maintained in its expanded length so that upon cooling and thus thermal contraction thereof, tension is applied between the opposing ends 68, 74 of the orifice plate 20 is maintained under a desirable tension so as to aid in its planar mounting to manifold assembly 12.
  • the pair of clamp members 40 as described previously are then positioned so as to complete the mounting of orifice plate 20 onto manifold assembly 12.
  • FIGURES 5, 6 and 7 of the drawings An alternative embodiment of the clamping assembly and clamp members in accordance with the present invention is depicted in FIGURES 5, 6 and 7 of the drawings.
  • orifice plate 20 is shown mounted to the manifold assembly in the same manner described above in which one end of orifice plate 20 is provided with an aperture which registers with a fixed-position peg formed on manifold assembly 12. Enlarged opening 76 in the other end of the orifice plate 20 accepts a second fixed position peg 78.
  • suitable securing means such as screw and clamp assembly 80.
  • the other end of the plate may be rigidly fixed in position relative to manifold assembly 12 thereby maintaining it in its extended and tensioned form.
  • the pair of clamp members 40 as previously described are positioned so as to complete the mounting of the orifice plate 20 onto manifold assembly 12.
  • the clamp members be positioned such that the substantially planar bearing surfaces (shown as 46 and 47 on FIGURE 2) of the clamping members will impact on the planar surface of the orifice plate in precisely the same position and with the same orientation during each successive installation of the orifice plate. It has been found that such precise positioning may be ensured by providing one or more hinge means operatively connecting clamp members 40 to the lower portion of manifold assembly 12.
  • one or more hinge elements 90 and 91 are rigidly secured to clamp members 40 and to lower manifold member 12b by way of threaded securing means (shown by way of example as 95, 96, 97 and 98 in FIGURE 7).
  • the hinged clamp members 40 may thus be swung into position and secured to the manifold assembly to thereby contact the planar surface of the orifice plate in the same manner and in the same location by making bearing contact between the manifold assembly and the bearing surface of flange 58 on the one hand and the manifold assembly 12 and planar surface 47 of clamp arm 44 through orifice plate 20 on the other hand (see FIGURE 2).
  • a plurality of hinge elements may be independently spaced along clamp members 40 to further ensure that an advantageous force distribution occurs between the manifold assembly and orifice plate 20. After hinged clamps 40 are in position, bolts 52 may be tightened. Again, the linear contact areas established by the planar bearing surface 47 of clamp arm 46 and bearing surface 60 will uniformly distribute the forces applied against the orifice plate so as to substantially prevent bowing thereof.
  • FIGURE 5 The details of the hinge means shown in FIGURE 5 are depicted in FIGURES 6 and 7 of the drawings.
