Definitions
- the invention relates to an inkjet printing assembly for printing on rapidly moving correspondence objects, in particular in a postage, franking or more generally stamping machine.
- Such an assembly known for example from document GB-A-2 110 854, comprises printheads provided with ink-emitting nozzles, means for guiding and driving the object or the support to be print in front of said nozzles, and means for detecting the advance of the support triggering the emission of ink by said nozzles.
- the document GB-A-2 110 854 envisages detecting the passage of the object at a given point, by detecting its edge before for example, and then trigger a time base regulating the emission of the drops.
- This solution is not suitable because it then requires regulating the speed of the paper with a tolerance impossible to obtain in practice. It is therefore necessary that a device closely coupled to the advancement of the paper generates the instants of launching of the successive drops.
- the use of a mechanical pulse emitter coupled to the flat object has been envisaged.
- Such a system can consist of a drive roller, driving without slip the correspondence object, on which is mounted a pulse generator linked in rotation, or a roller linked to a pulse generator mounted idly in rotation and supported by a spring arm on the correspondence object or on the object's drive means (roller or belt); such systems work well with objects of regular thickness.
- a drive roller driving without slip the correspondence object, on which is mounted a pulse generator linked in rotation
- Such systems work well with objects of regular thickness.
- the objects are unevenly filled letters, it is difficult to compress them between two rollers and this can cause local deformations of the paper detrimental to the print quality.
- the object of the invention is to give a satisfactory solution to these two fundamental problems.
- the means for guiding and driving the printing assembly comprise a device for keeping the object away from the nozzles by suction by means of compressed air jets operating in steady state. of Bernouilli; thus an "air cushion" separates the printed surface of the paper and the surrounding objects, avoiding any risk of smudging.
- Such a solution therefore differs completely from known solutions where perforated belts connected to suction means create a suction which presses the support against the belt, without self-regulation of a holding distance as in the present invention.
- the support holding device consists of plates pierced with holes, arranged substantially on the periphery and in the vicinity of all of the nozzles, in a plane very close to that of said nozzles; alternatively the holes can be integrated in the printheads comprising the nozzles and it is advantageous to provide means for recovering the air emitted (for example collecting grooves and suction holes).
- the latter comprise a device for almost permanent location of an edge (generally the front edge) of the object; this distinguishes them as well from devices where the edge of the object is detected only once or a very limited number of times, as from devices where permanent or quasi-permanent location does not interest the object itself. even but another mobile whose movement is supposed to be linked in a unique way to that of the object.
- an edge generally the front edge
- this device comprises a row of optical sensors arranged parallel to the movement of the object. Two consecutive sensors of this plurality of sensors are regularly spaced by a step equal to n not from the elementary points of the image to be printed, n being an integer equal to or greater than 1. When it is equal to 1, the number sensors is thus equal to the maximum number of points to be marked in the direction of movement, plus the offset between the two extremes expressed in number of points.
- These sensors and the optical system which includes them are arranged so that each time as the object to be marked travels the distance equal to the printing step of the points, a cell is lit or obscured step by step.
- Such a row of sensors can be produced with discrete components or with integrated components of the CCD (charges coupled detection device) type.
- the tracking device comprises a light brush generator scanning the space step by step along the path of the object. More precisely, the position of a narrow light beam on the front edge of the object is controlled by means of a rotating mirror driven by a motor controlled in position; by reading the position of the motor, the position of the object is identified.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic front view of a printing assembly, in accordance with the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a partial schematic side view of the assembly of Figure 1
- Figure 3 shows in schematic perspective
- Figure 4 shows in perspective schematic
- FIG. 5 represents the partial front face of a print head modified in accordance with a variant of the invention
- FIG. 6 represents a schematic cross section of the head of FIG. 5.
- the printing assembly in accordance with the invention comprises printing heads 1 with ink jets arranged so as to be able to print on a support or correspondence object 2 by scrolling a standardized postal imprint represented by the dotted lines 3.
- the object 2 scrolls through continuous drive means constituted for example by two endless belts 4 enclosing the object, or a belt and a pressure pad.
- the belt conventionally passes over free rollers and rollers driven by a motor system.
- a horizontal guide edge 20 guides the lower edge of the object 2 to be printed.
- printheads 1 manufactured by DATAPRODUCTS under the reference "Ultrajet 96/32". These heads have 32 ink spray nozzles 5 spaced 1.483 mm apart. By tilting the nozzles relative to the direction of movement of the paper it is possible to vary the distance between two adjacent points on the paper and therefore to simultaneously vary the pitch of the 32 traces and the total printing height in order to obtain a desired density of 128 points per inch (approximately 5 points per mm).
- the 4 heads are slightly offset in height by 0.195 mm relative to each other; they therefore complement each other for form by interlacing 128 lines of dots spaced 0.195 mm.
- the set of print heads 1 is grouped in a support and holding member 22.
- the print heads are arranged several plates or bars 6 pierced with holes 7, the flat front face of which is slightly above the plane of the ink projection nozzles 5; the holes 7 of these bars 6 are placed in communication with a source of compressed air, not shown, by means of conventional solenoid valves which make it possible to establish a jet or stream of air in the holes at the appropriate times.
- These air currents will, when a sheet of paper is located a short distance from the plates or bars 6 create a suction effect which stabilizes the sheet at a very short distance from the front face of the bars; this effect, and the equilibrium distance, depend on the speed of the air (the so-called Bernouilli effect), and can therefore be adjusted to the desired value.
- Bernouilli effect the so-called Bernouilli effect
- the device of the invention maintains between the print side of the object 2 and the front plate of the nozzles and bars (substantially the front side of the support and holding member 22 ) a non-contact distance traveled by the ink jets 25 emitted by the nozzles 5.
- the air sent under pressure through the holes 7 is forced, in the presence of a sheet of paper 2, to suddenly change direction and to circulate along divergent paths in the space between the paper 2 and the surface of the bar 6. If the initial conditions are such that this space is small enough so that the section offered for the passage of air is sufficiently reduced, the increase tation of the air speed causes its pressure to drop, in accordance with the so-called Bernouilli equation which, for a compressible fluid in the absence of volume or field force, takes the simplified form: where V denotes the local speed of the fluid, dp the pressure variation, ⁇ * "the local specific mass, and C a constant.
- This effect produces a suction force which, when the distance between paper and strip is quite small, greatly exceeds the effect in the opposite direction due to the pressure of the air jet emerging from the hole or holes.
- this suction effect varies inversely with the said distance, which stabilizes this distance and provides a means of guiding the paper without there being any solid contact.
- the guide bars 6 are arranged around the print heads 1 proper.
- the ejection of air parallel to the surface of the front plate of the head could more or less disperse the ink jet and disturb the quality printing; to overcome this defect, recovery grooves 23 are formed in said plate; these grooves 23 are connected to orifices 24 formed in this plate, in turn connected to a pump which sucks up the jets of disturbing air.
- the object detection device 2 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 comprises a row 8 of optical cells 9: these cells 9 are approximately 1,200 in steps of approximately 0.2 mm.
- CCD charge coupled detector
- a light source 10 constituted by a fluorescent tube whose axis is arranged parallel to the line 8 of the sensors 9.
- the moment of ejection of each drop d ink is determined successively and alternately by the detection of the front edge of the print medium by a cell, and by a time base interpolating between the signals emitted by two adjacent cells; this interpolation can call upon various principles well known in electronic technique: for example the technique of the phase-controlled oscillator making it possible to multiply the frequency of an almost periodic signal, or even the technique of the digital time base which delivers signals replacing those which would come from the deleted cells, this time base being permanently adjusted by measuring the time elapsed between two successive signals coming from the cells.
- the application of these methods makes it possible to reduce the cost of the sensors, but in return makes the system a little sensitive to variations in speed.
- the identification of said object is obtained by the pursuit of its front edge by means of a fine light brush.
- This device shown in FIG. 3 comprises: a laser 13 emitting a narrow light brush 14 of very small divergence, the diameter of which is on the order of 0.2 to 0.5 mm. - Closely associated with this laser, a photoelectric receiver 15 (called a sensor thereafter) whose optical axis is coincident with that of the laser 13.
- a photoelectric receiver 15 (called a sensor thereafter) whose optical axis is coincident with that of the laser 13.
- the theoretical confusion of the optical axes is obtained by physical separation of the outward and return beams 28 by means of a semi-reflecting mirror 26 interposed on the light brush emitted by the laser 13 (and possibly other deflection mirrors such as the mirror 27).
- -A rotating mirror 16 driven by a stepping motor 17 located on the optical axis common to the laser 13 and to the receiver 15, arranged so as to allow the laser beam to scan, through the transparent window, the zone of passage of the letter.
- a correction lens 18 intended to linearize the movement of the laser brush as a function of the rotation of the stepping motor (mirror angle / linear displacement relationship), and a deflection mirror 19.
- the assembly works as follows: Between two successive letters, the initial position of the laser spot is adjusted at the end of the transparent window 12, on the side where the letter 2 is expected; in this position, no obstacle is encountered by the beam and in return the sensor receives nothing.
- a letter 2 travels, its front edge cuts the beam at a given time; then the sensor 15 receives the light scattered back, and the engine control system advances the engine 17 by one step; the sensor no longer receives anything, and the motor remains in the position thus acquired, until the letter again reaches the new position of the beam. In this way, it suffices to count the number of steps imposed on the motor 17 to pinpoint the position of the letter 2 with precision.
- the planar rotating mirror is replaced by a helical reflecting surface 16 whose axis is that of the stepping motor 17.
- the laser system 13 ′ and sensor 15 ′ has its optical axis arranged parallel to this axis, so that by rotation of the motor 17 'the light rays sweep across the window for the passage of letters.
- An electronic system 21 controls the motor 17' and the circuits of the laser 13 'and the sensor 15'. We have omitted, in FIG. 4, for simplicity, the beam separation and deflection system illustrated in FIG. 3 for the laser and its associated sensor.
