Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for controlling the operation of a printhead, which is moved from the printing position in a predetermined direction and within a predetermined transport time to a further position after the printing of a drawing element or a character in each case by actuating at least one printing element, wherein the transport time is monitored for exceeding a limit value and the drive of the print head is interrupted when the limit value is exceeded.
  • Methods of this type are used in printers for printing text, data or image information. They serve to bring a printhead into a predetermined printing position and then to produce an impression on a carrier, for example paper, by actuating at least one printing element.
  • a carrier for example paper
  • an ink ribbon is arranged between the print head and the carrier, which comes into contact with the carrier when the printing element is actuated.
  • the information to be printed is printed character by character, i.e. the printhead is shifted in the line direction and carries out the printing process.
  • the print carrier is moved one line spacing, for example by a roller, and a new cell-shaped printing process takes place.
  • the current position of the printhead is recorded in one line and can be reported by a position signal to a controller which actuates a printing element to print a character when a specific position is reached.
  • This principle can be used both in interval-controlled operation, in which the movement of the print head is interrupted and the printing element is then actuated, and in so-called "flying" printing. at the latter is the printhead for printing one
  • a printhead When a printhead is in operation, it can happen that it adheres to the printing medium, that is to the ink ribbon or to the carrier, after actuation of a printing element.
  • a printing element For example, in the case of a needle printhead, the printing elements of which are needles, a needle actuated for printing can pierce the ribbon and hook into it, i.e. it does not return to its resting position.
  • the print head moves to the next print position, the needle is bent or broken by the relative movement between it and the ink ribbon. Both mean destruction of the entire print head. This risk is increased in newer dot matrix printers by the fact that the number of needles per print head is high and thin needles are used which can pierce the ribbon more easily.
  • the printhead and the ribbon stick together.
  • the printing elements are electrical heating resistors which transmit characters to the printing medium with the aid of a melting ink ribbon
  • the risk of printing elements of the printing head sticking to the melting material adhering to the ink ribbon can also adhere to the printing elements due to overheating or surface defects and thus cause a malfunction of the printhead operation.
  • This object is achieved for a method of the type mentioned above in that, in order to release adhesion between the printing element and a printing medium, the print head moves in the opposite direction to the predetermined direction when the limit value is exceeded and / or at least one printing element with that used for printing Energy reduced energy is operated.
  • the invention makes use of the knowledge that the forward movement of the printhead by the ink ribbon or the recording medium is prevented by the printhead and printing medium, that is to say the ink ribbon or recording medium, and that the next printing position is reached only with delay or not at all becomes.
  • the printhead and printing medium that is to say the ink ribbon or recording medium
  • the position signal of the printer known per se is advantageously used as a criterion for reaching predetermined printing positions.
  • the invention now provides that the print head when the limit value is exceeded in to the predetermined opposite direction is moved.
  • This simple measure alone can loosen the adhesion of the print head and print medium. For example, if a needle pierces the ribbon with a needle printhead and the ribbon tensions due to the further movement of the printhead, the backward movement of the printhead reduces the elastic tension between the needle and the ribbon to such an extent that the needle restoring force pushes the needle into a rest position in the printhead is sufficient to detach it from the ribbon.
  • Another possibility of eliminating the sticking of the print head and the ink ribbon is to actuate one or more printing elements, the energy applied for this being reduced compared to the energy used for printing a character.
  • actuating the printing element it is achieved that at the location where the ink ribbon and the printhead adhere to each other, energy is supplied which causes the two parts to be released from one another.
  • energy is supplied which causes the two parts to be released from one another.
  • the adhesive connection between the print head and the melt ribbon can be softened and thus released.
  • mechanical energy is activated at the point at which the needle is hooked into the ink ribbon by actuating one or more printing elements. The tensile and compressive forces that occur at the point of adhesion, together with the restoring force of the needle, cause the needle to be released from the ink ribbon and return to its rest position.
  • a combination of the measures mentioned can preferably also be used. This can be done in such a way that the pressure elements during or after the backward movement of the. Printhead are operated. The two work together in such a way that the sticking together of the print head and the ribbon is released with high reliability.
  • the limit value, to which the time between the printing of a character and the occurrence of the position signal is monitored is preferably set as a function of the type of printhead or of printing parameters.
  • printing parameters are, for example, the speed at which the print head is moved, the type of ink ribbon or the energy to be used to actuate the printing element.
  • Another advantageous development of the invention can also be such that the print elements of the print head are operated simultaneously with reduced energy.
  • the energy required to actuate the printing element is advantageously measured such that the needle stroke is reduced by approximately half.
  • this stroke movement of the needle or a plurality of needles an optimal result is achieved on the one hand when the needle adhering to the ink ribbon is loosened and, on the other hand, no character is printed on the print carrier with a high degree of certainty.
  • Another development of the invention is characterized in that, when the limit value is exceeded, a transport motor provided for moving the print head is short-circuited or driven with a counter current. As a result of this measure, the motor is braked electrically and the movement of the print head comes to a standstill after a very short distance. The ink ribbon and the print element of the print head are not stressed beyond their elastic limit, i.e. not damaged. In addition, this training shortens the total time required to eliminate the fault »
  • the method according to the invention can also be carried out in such a way that a transport motor provided for moving the print head is actuated with a predetermined number of current pulses for the movement in the opposite direction. These cause a jerky step movement of the printhead, which causes jerky tensile and compressive forces at the junction between the printhead and the ribbon. These help to loosen the adhesive connection between the print head and the ink ribbon.
  • the number of current pulses is set depending on the type of transport motor, the printer, the ribbon and other print-specific parameters.
  • a further practical embodiment of the invention provides that the print head is positioned at the print position after a predetermined time which it had before the printout was exceeded Limit value, and that printing is continued at this position.
  • the predetermined time is set depending on the type of the print head, the transport motor and other parameters of the printer. This further training guarantees an almost uninterrupted operation of the printer. However, if such faults repeat within a certain time, an error message can be generated in a further embodiment of the invention if a predetermined number of limit value violations is exceeded. This makes it possible to indicate a malfunction, which cannot be remedied by the method according to the invention, in order to initiate further measures, for example repair or replacement of the print head.
  • such a measure can also consist in the fact that the operation of the print head is switched off within a predetermined time if the limit value is exceeded several times.
  • the method according to the invention is advantageously further developed in that after the drive interruption, when the limit value is exceeded, the direction of movement of the printing head is determined, and that if the direction is not reversed, a further error message is generated.
  • This measure ensures that errors which are manifested in the fact that the limit value is exceeded and which cannot be attributed to the adherence of a printing element can be reliably detected.
  • a needle printhead stretches it by a certain amount as a result of its kinetic energy, so that the restoring force that arises causes the print head to swing back.
  • the reversal can be recognized, for example, on the basis of the position signal. If this reversal of direction does not occur, there is a malfunction, which was caused, for example, by a mechanical jamming of the print head or a paper jam. As a result, an error message can be generated or the print head can be interrupted.

Printing processes are described below with the aid of the needle 15, which is shown separately in FIG. 1. With the type of printer described here, the ink ribbon is stretched along a line and is not moved back and forth with the print head.
  • the needle 15 With a rising edge 40 of the driver current ID, the needle 15 is deflected in the direction of the ink ribbon with a slight delay, which is caused by the inertia of the electromechanical actuator. Which is made of a fabric-like material standing ribbon is pressed against the print carrier by the tip of the needle 15, whereby it forms a punctiform symbol on it. If several needles are actuated in this way, a column-shaped or mosaic-shaped print character is created on the carrier. After the needle 15 has been actuated, it is normally retracted into its rest position in the needle print head 10 by its restoring force.
  • the monitoring module 30 With a falling driver current edge 42, the monitoring module 30 becomes active, which monitors the time T until the arrival of the next position signal PMS for exceeding the predetermined limit value G.

  • a time monitor With the falling edge of the driver current ID, a time monitor becomes active in the next step 54, which determines whether the pulse edge of the position signal PMS arrives within the limit value time G (step 56).
  • the time monitoring is implemented with the aid of a counter, which is loaded with an initial count that is proportional to the limit value G.
  • the count is decremented in time with a clock signal derived from the timer unit of the microcomputer. If a position reporting signal PMS occurs before the count 0 is reached, then the printing process is correct and the program branches to step 50 in order to continue the printing process.
  • next step 58 in which a query for flour malfunction is carried out, the meaning of which will be explained later. If there is no multiple fault, the transport motor 12 is braked in the next step 59 in order to interrupt the movement of the print head 10. This is done by short-circuiting the motor winding of the transport motor 12, a high delay resulting from the eddy current effect. It would also be conceivable to control the motor winding with a current of opposite polarity, which would further increase the delay. A high deceleration is therefore desirable in order to head 10 as completely as possible by the transport motor 12, thereby reducing the risk of tearing the ribbon or bending the needle 15.
  • step 60 braking is terminated.
  • the ink ribbon which is stretched elastically by hooking the printing needle into the ink ribbon, can now relax and takes the print head with it in the relaxation direction, which is signaled by the position sensor 20 when the direction of movement is reversed.
  • step 61 the reversal of direction is evaluated. If the direction reversal does not occur, there is a malfunction such as a break in the drive connection between the motor and the printhead or a paper jam. It then branches directly to step 70, in which an error avoidance is generated. If the direction is reversed, the direction of motor rotation is reversed in step 62, ie the direction of movement of the print head 10 is now opposite to that before the fault.
  • the motor winding is then actuated with a predetermined number m of current pulses IM (step 64), as a result of which the print head 10 executes jerky step movements which bring about or support the release of the needle 15 from the ink ribbon.
  • the number m of current impulses IM as well as their height and pulse width is dimensioned such that the print head 10 returns approximately to the position it was in before the fault.
  • all needles 14 of the print head 10 are actuated.
  • n current pulses of defined width from driver module 18 are output as driver current ID to the electro-mechanical actuators of the needles 14.
  • the energy supplied to the actuators is adjusted by changing the pulse width in such a way that the needles 14 execute about half a stroke.
  • the needles 14 are pressed against the ink ribbon and strip it off the needle 15 adhering to it.
  • the reduced stroke movement avoids the printing of a character on the print carrier.
  • a shaking movement which supports the detachment of the needle 15 from the ink ribbon.
  • the actuation of the needles 14 can already be carried out before or during the braking of the transport motor 12 and during the jerky backward movement of the print head 10. If the pressure elements 14 are actuated only after the backward movement of the print head 10, this has the advantage that the ink ribbon is relaxed, so that no transverse forces are exerted on the hooked needle 15.
  • step 68 the direction of rotation of the transport motor 12 is reversed again, so that the direction of movement of the print head 10 coincides with that prior to the fault.
  • a query for multiple faults is carried out in step 58. This serves to detect a multiple occurrence of an interruption or a delay in the movement of the print head. Such successive faults can be caused, for example, by a paper jam, a defective ink ribbon or a needle hooked very firmly into the ink ribbon. If such faults occur several times within a predetermined time, then after a predeterminable number of attempts at exemption, a branch is made to step 70, where an error message is generated and displayed. The operator of the printer can then arrange for maintenance or repair of the device. Of course, such an error message can already be generated when a single fault occurs, it then being possible to statistically analyze the errors that occur.
  • the time monitoring is activated and the time T until the arrival of the rising pulse edge of the position signal PMS is measured. If this is less than the limit value G, there is no fault S, whereupon the time monitoring is reset to an initial state and restarted with the next falling edge 82 of the driver current ID. This time the time T reaches the limit value G, which is the condition for the existence of a fault S. Now the measures for releasing a needle possibly sticking in the ink ribbon are initiated, ie the transport motor 12 is braked and gradually moved to the left in the opposite direction. Then all needles 14 are driven with a fixed number of driver current pulses ID, the
  • Pulse width b compared to which is reduced with normal actuation of a pressure element. After the printing elements 14 have been actuated several times, the fault S is generally eliminated, and the printing head 10 is moved again in its original direction and continues printing.

Abstract

Un procédé de commande du fonctionnement d'une tête d'impression permet de reconnaître des perturbations dans le transport de la tête d'impression le long d'une ligne d'impression et le cas échéant de les éliminer. Une unité de commande (24) commande une source de courant (16) qui alimente en courant un moteur (12) de déplacement d'une tête d'impression (10). Les éléments d'impression (14) de la tête d'impression (10) sont alimentés en un courant pulsé d'attaque (ID) par un module d'attaque (18). Un capteur de position (20) détecte le chemin parcouru par la tête d'impression (10) le long d'une ligne d'impression. Le temps de transport entre deux positions d'impression est contrôlé, et lorsqu'une valeur limite (G) est dépassée, l'entraînement de la tête d'impression (10) est interrompu et le cas échéant la tête d'impression est déplacée en sens opposé et/ou au moins un élément d'impression (14, 15) fonctionne alors avec une énergie réduite par rapport à l'énergie requise pour l'impression. Ces mesures permettent de reconnaître et d'éliminer automatiquement une perturbation provoquée par l'adhérence d'un élément d'impression (14) au ruban encreur.
