Definitions

  • the invention relates to printing apparatuses with deflected continuous ink jets and more particularly in such apparatuses, a module or printhead which provides several simultaneous jets and which lends itself to an assembly of several juxtaposed printing modules. allowing to maintain a constant pitch between jets to obtain a large printing device.
  • the head comprises, in a single housing, at least two modulation bodies comprising ejection nozzles supplied by a single ink circuit and a device for recovering unused drops, common to all jets, with only one recovery outlet.
  • the single housing has a base which serves as a support for the modulation bodies, for charge electrodes, for phase or speed detection electrodes and for deflection electrodes, these various elements having to be precisely aligned, from the order of a hundredth of a millimeter.
  • a print head of this type is ill-suited to making a row of several tens of ink jets because its cost of manufacture and maintenance will be very high.
  • US-A-4,160,982 describes an ink jet printing device in which the charge and deflection electrodes are carried by an arm whose pivoting makes it possible to clear the space between the ejection head ink jet and the gutter in order to facilitate maintenance and, in particular, to allow the gutter to be raised near the ejection head during this maintenance.
  • the gutter is not fixed, which poses problems of manufacturing and mounting tolerance and makes it practically impossible to produce a multijet head as well as the juxtaposition of several multijet heads.
  • An object of the present invention is therefore to produce a multijet module or print head, the manufacture of which is considerably simplified while having great positioning precision for the various elements.
  • Another object of the present invention is to produce a multijet printing module which can be associated with one or more modules of the same type so as to produce a very wide printing apparatus and to ensure the connection of screens between the different modules.
  • the one-piece body is carried by one face of a support beam, the other face of which carries the fourth, fifth and sixth means.
  • the different means communicate with each other by conduits arranged inside the one-piece body and the beam.
  • the invention also relates to a printing apparatus which comprises a plurality of printing modules juxtaposed on said support beam, so as to respect the pitch between jets.
  • the side of the support beam 28, opposite to that carrying the one-piece body 29 of each printing module, is associated with a single part 30 which produces, in combination with said beam 28, a recovery or drain tank 62 of the ink from the recovery gutters of the nine printing modules and, in combination with a plate 110, a cavity 111, for distributing the ink to the nine devices 33 for generating eight ink jets.
  • the support beam 28 has internal conduits which make the connection between, on the one hand, the recovery tank 62 and, on the other hand, the gutters 34 and the generation devices 33 of the nine printing modules mounted on the support beam 28. It also includes other internal conduits for making the connection between the distribution cavity 111 and the generation devices 33.
  • FIGS. 2a and 2b are essentially schematic sections to support the description and are not actual sections of the device. This is how the conduits shown there are not always in the section plane but in parallel planes. Thus, FIG. 2b corresponds essentially to the plane of the emptying or purging conduits of the reservoir 35 and of the gutters 34 of a printing module, but the conduit 73 is not in the same plane (see FIG. 6c) .
  • FIG. 2a essentially corresponds to the plane of the supply conduits of the reservoir 35 but the conduit 69 is not in the same plane (see FIG. 6a) as well as the recovery circuit 59.
  • the device 33 for generating eight ink jets comprises a stimulation reservoir 35 which is fixed to the monobloc piece 29 in which are drilled, on the one hand, a conduit 37 for supplying ink to the reservoir 35 and, on the other hand, a conduit 72 for purging this tank.
  • the liquid, contained in the reservoir 35 is pulsed or ejected in the form of jets towards the outside of said reservoir in the direction of the gutter 34 through micro-orifices 36 drilled in a nozzle plate 39 integral with the lower part of the reservoir 35.
  • Such ejection means as well as the nozzle plate are for example described in French Patent No. 2,576,251.
  • each jet of liquid breaks up into microdroplets and passes through the deflection head multijet 32 where certain drops are electrically charged by charging electrodes 41 then deflected from their initial trajectory towards the gutter 34 by deflection electrodes 42 to make an impact outside of this on a support 40 to be printed which scrolls in front of the print module.
  • the first element 135 is a block of insulating material which serves as a reference for stacking the other elements and their positioning relative to the device which supplies the ink jets.
  • the second element 136 is a first shielding plate which is made of insulating material, the face of the side of the stop 135 is metallized except around the alignment holes.
  • the fourth element 138 is a second shielding plate which is made of insulating material, the face of the side opposite to that of the charging electrode plate 137 is metallized except around the alignment holes.
  • the fifth element 139 is an electrical isolation spacer made by a plate of insulating material.
  • the sixth element 140 is a third shielding plate which is made of insulating material, the face of the side of the stop 135 is metallized except around the alignment holes.
  • the eighth element 142 is a fourth shielding plate which is made of insulating material, the face of the side opposite to that of the plate of detection electrodes 141 is metallized except around the alignment holes.
  • the elements 136 to 142 are pierced with slots parallel to the path of the non-deflected ink jet, some 153 of sufficient depth to partially pass through the electrodes 146 and 148 and thus allow the passage of the ink jets, and the others 154 of greater depth than the previous ones to delimit spaces of equal width between the inserts and reduce crosstalk between the jets.
  • the slots 153 are metallized only at the location of the electrodes while the slots 154 are metallized over their entire depth.
  • the ninth, tenth and eleventh elements 143, 144 and 145 together constitute the deflection electrodes of the drops of the ink jets and are each produced by blocks of insulating material in which deep grooves separate partitions whose walls are metallized.
  • the metallized walls of the tenth element 144 are connected to supply conductors such as that referenced 152.
  • the insulating material of the various elements is, for example, ceramic, the characteristics of which allow it to be machined, in particular in thickness, with an accuracy of the order of a few microns.
  • the four armor plates 136, 138, 140 and 142 each have a thickness of 0.5 millimeter for example and the metal layer is made of a noble material, a gold alloy for example, which makes it possible to avoid EDM and which has a thickness of approximately 2 to 10 microns, preferably 2 to 4 microns.
  • the spacer 139 is approximately one millimeter thick.
  • the charging electrodes are produced for example by metal inserts which are glued in holes drilled in the support plate having a thickness of two millimeters for example.
  • the supply conductors are produced by metal tracks having a thickness of about four microns which are connected to the inserts.
  • the detection electrodes are also produced by metal inserts which are glued in holes drilled in the support plate having a thickness of two millimeters for example.
  • the connecting conductors are made by metal tracks having a thickness of about four microns which are connected to the inserts.
  • the rest of the support plate on the side of the metal conductors is metallized except on areas on either side of the inserts and metal tracks.
  • the thickness of the metallization is from 4 to 15 microns approximately.
  • the metal inserts must be made of a material which must have the following characteristics: a coefficient of expansion close to that of the support plate, ease of metallization for connections with the supply conductors and ease of machining for drilling slots. This material is for example obtained by sintering at least one metallic powder.
  • the deflection electrodes proper are constituted by the three elements 143, 144 and 145 which, unlike the other elements 135, to 142, are not insulating plates but insulating blocks, l 'a central 144 whose metallized walls receive the high deflection voltage by the conductors such as that referenced 152 and the other two 143 and 145 respectively disposed upstream and downstream in the direction of the ink jet.
  • These electrodes formed by the metallized walls of blocks 143 and 145 serve to reduce the risks of breakdown.
  • the supply conductors 152 are made, half, on the inlet face of the block 140 and, for the other half, on the outlet face of the block, by ensuring that two successive electrodes are supplied one by one conductor on the input face and the other by a conductor on the output face.
  • the multijet deflection head 32 is mounted on one side of a rotary arm 43, the other side of which supports an electronic box 44.
  • This electronic box of the shielded type, comprises a printed circuit 45 on which are mounted different electronic components producing various electronic functions which will be described more fully in relation to FIG. 4.
  • This printed circuit 45 is connected to the electrodes of the multijet deflection module 32 by one or more connectors or flexible cords 46 and to an electronic control device (not shown) by one or more flexible cables 47.
  • the housing 44 is closed by a cover metallic 48.
  • the arm 43 pivots on the axis 49 integral with the upper part of the one-piece body 29 thanks to the combination of a link 50 and a yoke 51 which is driven in translation by a cylinder 52 provided with one-way flow limiters 53.
  • This rotation makes it possible to lower the arm 43 so that the ink jet (s) can pass through the multijet deflection head and raise it to allow access to the plate nozzles 39 and the multijet deflection head for their maintenance.
  • the gutter 34 for recovering the ink drops not used from a jet is disposed at the lower part of the monobloc body 29 (FIGS. 2 and 3). It comprises, by ink jet, an inlet orifice 54 drilled in an advanced part 54 ′ of the monobloc body 29 and a cavity 55 in which is disposed a block 56 of insulating material which is crossed by eight conduits 57 communicating, d on one side, with the inlet orifices 54 and on the other side, with the reservoir 62 via a cavity 58 and a conduit 59.
  • the eight conduits 57 therefore open into this cavity 58 (FIG. 3) in the shape of a triangle so that the liquid from the unused drops is sucked through the conduit 59 whose inlet orifice is disposed at the upper part of the cavity 58 , i.e. at the top of triangle 60.
  • the cavity 58 is closed by a plate 61 which has an orifice 61 ′ constituting the inlet of the conduit 59. Seals 60 are provided for sealing between the block 56 and the plate 61 and between the latter and the conduit 59 which is drilled in beam 28.
  • the reservoir 62 is obtained by a first cavity disposed in the beam 28 and by a second cavity disposed in a part 30, this last part being assembled to the beam 28 by bolts 65 and seals 66, these bolts 65 also serving to assemble the rear plate 110.
  • the reservoir 62 is connected to a solenoid valve 89, also called drain, by a conduit 63, said solenoid valve being moreover connected to the reservoir 35 by a conduit which passes through the beam 28 and the one-piece body 29
  • the conduit comprises three parts, the first horizontal 77 for the crossing of the beam 28, the second 75 in the form of a cavity in the one-piece body 28 and the third 72 for the crossing of the one-piece body 29.
  • the reservoir 62 is common to all the printing modules mounted on the beam 28, that is to say to the nine modules shown in Figure 1.
  • Figures 6c and 6d Figure 6c being a view along arrow C in FIG. 6d, show the cavity 62 in the part 30 as well as the nine orifices 63 ′ of the conduits 63 which open there from the solenoid valve 89.
  • the bottom of the cavity 62 is inclined so as to allow the liquid to be recovered by a conduit 73, the orifice of which is located at the lowest point.
  • each conduit 57 is equipped with a stud 85 which, by reference to the potential of the one-piece body 29, makes it possible to detect the presence of liquid in the gutter. It is for this reason that the parts 56 and 61 are made of insulating material.
  • Such a liquid detector can be produced, without limitation, according to the exemplary embodiment described in French patent No. 2,543,019.
  • Distribution of the liquid to all the tanks of the nine modules is carried out via the distributor 111 produced on the rear face of the part 30 and which communicates with a solenoid valve 86, called supply (one per module) by conduits 74 which terminate in orifices 74 ′ at number of 9 in the dispenser 111.
  • This dispenser 111 is supplied with ink by a conduit 69 whose inlet orifice in the dispenser is referenced 69 '.
  • the conduits 74 are supplied by a main conduit 76 connected to the supply conduit 69 and secondary conduits 87 which are designed to balance the regular and singular pressure drops to each tank 35.
  • These different main conduits 76 and secondary 87 are closed by a plate 110 which is applied against the rear face of the part 30.
  • the solenoid valve 86 communicates with the latter via a conduit 38 inside the beam 28, a conduit 37 inside the one-piece body 29 and a cavity 88 in the one-piece body 29 connecting the two conduits 37 and 38.
  • FIG. 6e shows the orifices 63 ⁇ and 74 ⁇ of the conduits 63 and 74 at the place of their connection with the corresponding solenoid valves 89 and 86.
  • the gutter 54 ′ must be inclined at an angle ⁇ with respect to a first vertical plane containing the jets and by an angle ⁇ with respect to a second vertical plane perpendicular to the first.
  • FIG. 4 is a functional diagram showing the various functions performed by the electronic circuits installed on the card 45.
  • the first function is that of signal transfer between the multijet deflection head and an external control device 90.
  • the second function is to record information which characterizes the modifications to be made automatically on the control signals to take account of certain faults.
  • the transfer function concerns the charge voltages of the drops which are transmitted to the charge electrodes by the conductors 95 from the control device 90 (circuit 99), the deflection voltage which is transmitted to the deflection electrodes by conductors 92 in from the control device 90 (supply circuit 93), the phase detection signals which are transmitted from the phase detection electrodes to the control device 90 (processing circuit 99) via conductors 94, d a multiplexing circuit 101, a preamplifier 100 and a conductor 102.
  • the multiplexing circuit is controlled by signals on conductors 103, produced by the processing circuit 99.
  • the function for recording the characteristic information of the multijet printing module is realized by a memory 105 of the permanent type which is recorded at the time of the factory settings.
  • This information relates, for example, to the static errors of the multijet print head, such as the misalignment of the jets, and, in this case, the processing circuit 99 performs an overall correction of the charge of the drops and triggers in advance. or late the emission of the charged drops to obtain a better positioning of the impacts on the support 40. For this purpose, it uses the information provided by the memory 105.
