Definitions
- the present invention relates to a printing machine for a printer using a magnetic linear encoder.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a printer printing machine having high reliability even under an environment in which the machine is easily contaminated.
- the printer printing machine of the present invention which controls the position by use of the linear encoder, uses a high resolving magnetic recording medium, which is formed of an alloy containing iron, chrome and cobalt (hereinafter simply called as an alloy), as a memory of the linear encoder, and detects the magnetic record by a magnetic head.
- a high resolving magnetic recording medium which is formed of an alloy containing iron, chrome and cobalt (hereinafter simply called as an alloy), as a memory of the linear encoder, and detects the magnetic record by a magnetic head.
- the composition of the alloy can be freely set in accordance with a requested magnetic characteristics. It is preferable that the composition of the alloy consist of chrome: 13 to 32%, cobalt: 5 to 20%, and iron: residue, by weight % (herein simply expressed as %). In particular, it is preferable that the composition of the alloy consist of chrome: 16 to 25%, cobalt: 7 to 16%, and iron: residue. Moreover, in order to improve machinability and a magnetic characteristic, 0.05 to 3% of each of titanium, vanadium, molybdenum, and tungsten may be added.
- the magnetic recording medium is long-shaped such as a wire or a band.
- the cross section of the recording medium is formed such that a magnetic recording surface and a bottom surface thereof are parallel to each other:
- the detecting head must be precisely moved to be parallel to the recording medium. If the magnetic recording surface is parallel to the bottom surface, the bottom surface which act as a fixing surface of the recording medium and the parallel movement mechanism are easily adjusted, thereby the recording surface and the detecting head can be automatically moved parallel to each other with precision. By use of the above-mentioned structure, assembly can be made easy.
- the magnetic head to be used in the printer printing machine of the present invention may be a well known magnetic sensor of magneto-resistance effect type. It is preferably possible to use a magnetic sensor of magneto-resistance effect type, which can obtain an effective output even in a high temperature atmosphere as disclosed in Patent Application No. Hei 2-199123.
- the magnetic head As a mounting mechanism of the magnetic head, it is preferable to use a mechanism in which the magnetic head is formed in a gap holding part, which is movably fitted to the long magnetic recording medium, and the gap holding part moves along the long magnetic recording medium.
- the gap holding part and the long magnetic recording medium may be relatively moved.
- the long magnetic recording medium may be movable.
- Reference numeral (1) denotes a wire-shaped magnetic recording medium.
- the magnetic recording medium is formed by the way that an alloy material containing iron, chrome and cobalt is processed to be wire-shaped by the well-known method such as rolling and drawing, thereafter an N pole and an S pole are alternately magnetized.
- Reference (2) denotes a gap holding part having a magnetic head.
- the above part may be structured as specifically shown in Fig. 2.
- a magnetic element mount (11) whose cross section is U-shaped is mounted on the wire-shaped magnetic recording medium (1).
- a magnetic sensor (13) is fixed onto the magnetic element mount (11).
- a bearing (14) which has a hole into which a round bar-like magnetic recording medium is inserted in its central portion, is fixed to both ends of the magnetic element mount (11). Since the magnetic element mount (11) slides along the rod-shaped magnetic recording medium (1), serving as an axis, together with the magnetic sensor (13), the rod-shaped magnetic recording medium (1) is arranged to be floated in the hollow.
- Reference numeral (3) denotes a printing head.
- various types of printing heads such as an ink jet type, a dot impact type, a laser printer, and a thermal transferring type may be used.
- Reference numeral (4) denotes a slide guide shaft for guiding a printing head.
- the guide mechanism other than one shown in the drawing may be used.
- Fig. 3 shows a gap holding mechanism (5) of the other embodiment of the present invention.
- the magnetic head (2) is supported by a magnetic head support (6) so as to face the magnetic recording medium (1).
- the magnetic head support (6) is guided by a support guide (7).
- the gap between the magnetic head (2) and the magnetic recording medium (1) can be maintained to be a suitable value.
- the magnetic recording medium is formed by that an alloy material containing iron, chrome and cobalt is processed to a bar-shape with a rectangular cross section by the well-known method such as rolling and drawing, thereafter an N pole and an S pole are alternately magnetized over the surface of the bar.
- the magnetic head uses a magneto-resistance effect element, and is fixed to a printing head of a printer printing machine.
- the printer printing machine uses a printing head such as an ink jet type, a dot impact type, and a thermal transferring type.
- the printing mechanism moves in relative to a printing paper.
- the magnetic recording medium is fixed to a body of the printer printing machine.
- the magnetic detecting surface of the magnetic head (2) fixed to the printing head and the magnetized surface of the magnetic recording medium (1) face each other, and are controlled through the gap holding mechanism (5) so as to maintain the gap having a constant distance.
- the magnetic recording medium (1) and the magnetic head (2) can be used in a mechanically non-contact state and no sliding resistance state.
- the printer printing machine of the present invention brings about the following effects.
