Definitions
- the present invention relates to wire-type printing heads used in serial printers and operating on a principle of energy of deformation accumulated in a leaf spring under the effect of the magnetic energy of a permanent magnet with subsequent conversion of the above-mentioned energy of deformation into the energy of printing due to the electric current which is passed, in accordance with a data to be printed, through a coil to creat an electromagnetic force cancelling the attractive force of the permanent magnet.
- Fig. 1 is a semi-sectional view of a known spring-loaded wire-type printing head
- Fig. 2 is a sectional view along line A-A of Fig. 1.
- reference numeral 1 designates a disk-shaped rear yoke. Stacked on the peripheral surface of rear yoke 1 are a permanent magnet 2, an intermediate yoke 3, and an armature yoke 4. One end of a leaf spring 5 is rigidly clamped between armature yoke 4 and intermediate yoke 3. The leaf spring 5 extend radially inward, i.e., toward the center of the disk-shaped rear yoke 1.
- leaf spring 5 Fixed to the free end of leaf spring 5 is an armature 6 which carries on its free end the base (rear end) of a printing wire 7 which is rigidly attached thereto.
- the tip (front end) of printing wire 7 is arranged so that it can project through a guide portion 8a of a wire guide 8.
- a core 9 Located in the central portion of rear yoke 1 is a core 9 which is surrounded by a coil 10.
- Reference numeral 11 designates a center pole which forms a magnetic path for a magnetic flux generated by coil 10.
- Reference numeral 12 designates a magnetic path formed by permanent magnet 2.
- the demagnetization flux of coil 10 creates interferences by flowing through paths 14a, 14b formed by adjacent armatures 6II, 6III and cores 9II and 9III (Fig. 2).
- the known wire-type printing heads have an inefficient path for the demagnetization flux developed by the coil, and until now the problem of magnetic interference in these devices has not yet been solved.
- auxiliary core which forms an independent magnetic flux by means of a coil installed between the permanent magnet and the core.
- the end of the above-mentioned auxiliary core serves as a fulcrum point for the armature.
- the magnetic flux developed by the coil flows through the core in the direction opposite to that of the magnetic flux developed by the permanent magnet, passes through the armature, enters the auxiliary core, and thereby can efficiently suppress the magnetic flux of the permanent magnet.
- the permanent magnet flux which enters the auxiliary core exerts almost no effect on the force of magnetic attraction developed by the armature.
- the magnetic fluxes of the coils penetrate, to a lesser extent, into the adjacent armatures and cores, and the total magnetic interferences are reduced.
- Fig. 3 is a sectional view illustrating a wire printing head made in accordance with the first embodiment of the invention.
- Fig. 4B is a perspective view of cores, coils and auxiliary cores of the same wire printing head.
- Fig. 4A is a perspective view of armatures and leaf springs positioned above the cores, coils and auxilialy cores.
- the device comprises a rear yoke 1 which carries an auxiliary core 14, a core 9, and a center pole 11, all these parts being arranged sequentially in the stated order toward the center, with their ends facing an armature 6.
- auxiliary core 14 forms a separate path 16 for a magnetic flux developed by a coil 10.
- Core 14 is made of the same ferromagnetic material as core 9.
- Core 14 is disposed to form a predetermined gap between it and the core 9, on the side of the core 9 facing the permanent magnet 2.
- auxiliary core 14 The forward (top as seen in the figure) end of auxiliary core 14 is used as a fulcrum point for swinging motions of armature 6.
- the above-mentioned armature has a cross section sufficient for magnetic paths.
- the magnetic paths include magnetic path 12a of the flux generated by permanent magnet 2 and magnetic paths 16 and 17 of the fluxes generated by coil 10. Among these, magnetic path 16 passes through auxiliary core 14, and magnetic path 17 passes through central pole 11.
- the above-mentioned armature 6 and opposite parts 18 of downward protrusions 4a of armature yoke 4 that are adjacent to the side surfaces of armature 6 are located near or above core 9, or they can be arranged so that a distance between auxiliary core 14 and permanent magnet 2 is substantially greater than the gap between core 9 and auxiliary core 14.
- Reference numeral 3 designates an intermediate yoke
- 5 is a leaf spring
- 7 is a printing wire.
- the proposed wire-type printing head operates as follows:
- the force of attraction of armature 6 is due to a torque for rotation of armature 6 on the fulcrum point formed by the top portion 14a of auxiliary core 14. Moreover, almost all the entire torque is developed by core 9. The portion of the magnetic flux which flows through auxiliary core 14 and is developed by permanent magnet 2 exerts almost no influence on the force of attraction of armature 6.
- coil 10 When, on the other hand, coil 10 is energized, the flux induced by coil 10 flows in the direction opposite to that of the flux induced by permanent magnet 2, passes through armature 6, flow through auxiliary core 14, and at the same time enters central pole 11.
- Figs. 5 and 6 show experimental data. More particularly, Fig. 5 is a graph which illustrates a relationship between peak currents of the coil and the number of simultaneously operating wires. Fig. 6 is a graph showing the relationship between the number of simultaneously operating wires and the energy supplied to the coil.
- Fig. 7 is a sectional view of a wire-type printing head corresponding to the second embodiment of the proposed device.
- the device of the second embodiment is similar to that of the first embodiment, except that is does not have a central pole.
- the auxiliary core and the main core are made from the same material. It is obvious, however, that these parts can be made from different materials, provided that both these materials have ferromagnetic characteristics.
- the main core can be made from Permendur, or a similar material with properties of high magnetic saturation, which the auxiliary core is produced from silicon steel.
- the auxiliary cores 14 extend separately from the rear yoke 1. But, alternatively, lower parts of the auxiliary cores 14 may be connected by bridging members 19, as shown in Fig. 8.
- the bridging members 19 can be of the same magnetic material as the auxiliary cores 14 and can be formed integrally with them.
- the proposed device contains an auxiliary core which is located on the side of the permanent magnet of the core and forms a separate magnetic path for a flux developed by the coil, and because the top end of this auxiliary core serves as a fulcrum point for rock movements of the armature, the flux developed by the coil can more efficiently flow through the auxiliary core.
- An additional effect is that the coil does not generate heat, and printing can be performed in a high-duty mode.
