Definitions

  • the invention relates to a printing device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a device for adjusting the section of a print head in a matrix printer in which a sensor intended for contact with the surface of the record carrier is arranged on the print head carrier.
  • the print head carrier can be adjusted with the help of an eccentric adjustment mechanism in the direction of the print abutment and away from it.
  • To determine the thickness of the recording medium it is first drawn into the printing position.
  • the printhead carrier is then moved to a reference position furthest away from the platen, which is determined by means of a light barrier. The distance of the sensor surface from the pressure abutment in this reference position is fixed and known.
  • the print head carrier is then moved in the direction of the print abutment, until the sensor rests on the surface of the record carrier that has now been drawn in with a certain contact pressure, the distance covered up to this point being measured by means of a counter. This measured distance is then subtracted from the previously known reference distance in the computing device. The difference corresponds to the thickness of the recording medium. On the basis of the value for the thickness of the record carrier determined in this way, the print head carrier is then moved away from the print abutment again until the desired distance between the print head and the surface of the record carrier is set.
  • a sensor has already been proposed in a device of the type known from US Pat. No. 4,676,675 - viewed in the feed direction of the record carrier - to be arranged in front of the print position on a part fixed to the printer frame relative to the platen in such a way that it rests on the platen when the record carrier has not yet been pulled in and can be deflected or deformed by the retracted record carrier, the deflection or deformation of the sensor being proportional electrical quantity is implemented.
  • the sensor proposed in this solution comprises moving parts which can become contaminated by the inevitably occurring paper dust and thereby block. Furthermore, these mechanical parts would have to be adjusted.
  • a device for controlling the distance of a printhead from a recording medium in which a sensor in the form of a two-armed lever is pivotally mounted on the printhead carrier or the printhead carriage so that it has one free lever end can rest on the record carrier in the area of the respective printing point.
  • the sensor is formed from a thin sheet of metal which is pressed against the recording medium by a spring with a very low contact pressure, so that the sensor can slide over the paper almost without resistance.
  • the sheet has a recess at its support point, through which the needles of the print head can pass. At its lever end facing away from the support point, this sensor carries a magnet which interacts with a Hall probe arranged on the print head carrier.
  • An electronic control circuit moves the print head carrier or the print head carriage perpendicular to the print abutment until a desired voltage corresponding to a predetermined distance of the print head from the recording medium occurs on the Hall probe.
  • This solution has considerable disadvantages in practical operation.
  • the sensor is only allowed to lightly touch the surface of the record carrier rest, otherwise it could hinder the movement of the print head and damage the record carrier during the movement of the print head.
  • it is precisely this low contact pressure that causes the sensor to respond to any unevenness in a record carrier. This is particularly noticeable in the case of multi-layer record carriers, for example form sets or savings books.
  • the invention has for its object to further improve a device of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1 in such a way that moving parts of the sensor, which require mechanical adjustment, can be eliminated and that the device is simple in construction and robust in operation.
  • the solution according to the invention has the advantage that the sensor works without contact and does not require any mechanical parts that would have to be adjusted and whose function could be impaired by paper dust.
  • Both parts of the Hall sensor are arranged on already existing parts of the printing device, namely on the one hand on the pressure element and on the other hand on the print head or print head carriage.
  • the pressure element is so tightly clamped against the pressure abutment that it presses the record carriers to be processed flat against the pressure abutment.
  • the measurement is not falsified by dents, kinks or folds in the record carrier, since it is flattened in any case.
  • the spring which prestresses the pressure element in the direction of the pressure abutment must be relatively strong, slight deviations from the usual spring force also play no role. Adjustment is therefore relatively uncritical.
  • Attaching one part of the Hall sensor to the pressure element ensures that the adjustment of the print head spacing can already take place while the recording medium is still being drawn into its printing position. When it has reached this, the print head is also set to the correct distance. This avoids a time delay when setting the print head spacing.
  • the pressure abutment can be a platen roller in a manner known per se, the pressure element preferably being an elastically deformable pressure plate which extends over the entire width of the pressure abutment.
  • a second Hall probe which is thermally coupled to the first Hall probe, is preferably provided on the pressure element outside the region which the print head traverses as it moves along the pressure abutment.
  • the good thermal coupling between the two Hall probes makes it possible to use the output signal of the second probe to compensate for the temperature response of the first probe.
  • the invention further relates to a method for setting and maintaining a predetermined distance of a print head of a printing device from a recording medium according to claims 11 and 12.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 one can see a platen roller designated 10 serving as a pressure abutment.
  • a print head guide 14 Parallel to the shaft 12 of the platen roller 10, a print head guide 14 is arranged in front of it, which is mounted with eccentric bearings 16, 18 in side plates 20, 22 of a printer frame.
  • a pinion 24 is arranged in a rotationally fixed manner, with a second pin on the output shaft a step motor 28 combs pinion 26 seated.
  • a carrier 30 is mounted axially displaceably on the print head guide 14 and in turn carries a needle print head 32.
  • An elastically deformable pressure plate 36 is located below the mouthpiece 34 of the needle print head 32. This extends over the entire writing width of the printer. At its lower edge 38, it is fixedly connected to a crossbar 40 of the printer frame extending between the side plates 20, 22 and, near its upper edge, tangentially touches the platen roller 10 in a line of contact 42 (FIG. 2) immediately below the print head mouthpiece 34. The upper edge 44 of the pressure plate 36 is bent obliquely away from the platen roller 10 above the contact line 42.
  • paper guides 46, 48 are arranged on both sides of the print head mouthpiece 34, the upper ends 50 of the print roller 10, which are located at a short distance from each other, are adapted to the contour of the print roller 10 (FIG. 2).
  • the arrangement of the pressure plate 36 and the paper guides 46, 48 described above ensures that a recording medium 52 clings closely to the platen roller 10 in the printing area.
  • a permanent magnet 54 is inserted into the left paper guide 46.
  • a first Hall probe 56 is glued to the pressure plate 36. As can be seen in FIG. 2, this Hall probe 56 is located at the level of the permanent magnet 54, so that these elements face each other when the print head 32 is in a corresponding printing position along the platen roller 10.
  • a second Hall probe 58 On the pressure plate 36 is outside the area caused by the movement of the carrier 30 is swept along the print head guide 14 by the permanent magnet 54, a second Hall probe 58. Both Hall probes 56, 58 are thermally well coupled via the pressure plate 36, so that the output signal of the second probe 58 can be used to compensate for the temperature response of the first probe 56 .
  • the print head 32 In the automatic setting, the print head 32 must be in the position in which the permanent magnet 54 and the first Hall probe 56 face each other.
  • the Hall voltage is dependent on the magnetic induction and thus on the distance d (FIG. 2) between the permanent magnet 54 and the Hall probe 56.
  • This distance d is the distance of the print head mouthpiece 34 from the platen roller 10 or the surface of the recording medium 52 guided around the roller proportional.
  • the target head spacing is a specific factor for the print head used, which, depending on the head type, is between 0 mm for a thermal print head and 0.5 mm for a wire print head.
  • a certain Hall voltage value corresponds to this distance and is permanently stored in the control program for the printer controller 60 (FIG. 1).
  • a recording medium 52 is drawn into the printer from the underside of the roller. He pushes himself between the platen roller 10 and the pressure plate 36. This reduces the distance d and the Hall voltage increases.
  • the eccentrically mounted print head guide 14 is then rotated via the stepper motor 28 and the pinions 24, 26, as a result of which the Distance d changes until the Hall voltage of Hall probe 56 matches the stored target value.
  • the target head spacing is then set again. In order to compensate for the inevitable mechanical play, the head infeed is always carried out in the same direction, as the first three steps in the flow chart in FIG. 3 show.
  • the solution according to the invention was explained using an exemplary embodiment with a dot matrix printer.
  • the invention is not limited to such a dot matrix printer. Rather, it can be used with all types of printers in which the distance between the print head and platen has to be set depending on the paper thickness.
