Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for transporting record carriers in printing or copying devices according to the features of claim 1.
- the device is said to be particularly suitable as an auxiliary drive for an automatic recording medium insertion device in printing and copying devices.
- pairs of friction wheels are arranged in the record carrier transport channel above the actual paper web, which are designed in such a way that, when stationary, they have a diameter with which a sufficient minimum distance from the paper web is maintained. If the friction wheels are rotated, wheel segments swivel outwards due to the centrifugal force and thereby enlarge the wheel diameter or its enveloping circle to such an extent that the paper web touches and is driven by the existing friction.
- the solution only requires drive motors with friction wheels arranged on their axes, and no separate pivoting and pivoting means or monitoring devices.
- the invention is particularly suitable for use in electrophotographic printing devices which process recording media of different widths.
- the arrangement of the friction wheels or transport elements in pairs means that all paper webs with a width between limit values are transported straight through the paper transport channel without the need for special settings by the operating personnel depending on the width of the recording medium.
- Embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings and are described in more detail below, for example. Show it
- Figure 1 is a schematic sectional view of an electrophotographic printing device with an arrangement for automatically inserting a tape-shaped recording medium.
- Figure 2 is a schematic side view of a transport element at a standstill and when rotating and
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic representation of an arrangement of the transport elements in a recording medium transport channel which receives recording media of different widths
- An electrophotographic printing device contains a supply table 10 for receiving a supply stack 11 of pre-folded continuous paper 12, as well as a pivotable actuating rocker 14 provided with a paper dividing device 13 for feeding the continuous paper 12 to a transfer printing station 15, via which toner images generated on a photoconductor 16 onto the continuous paper 12 are transmitted.
- the transfer printing station 15 contains a tractor drive 17 for transporting the continuous paper 12 with two lateral tractor belts engaging in the perforations of the continuous paper 12 with transport nipples arranged thereon.
- four pivotally mounted tractor flaps 18 are arranged which press the continuous paper against the tractor belts in the area of the perforation surface.
- a fixing station Downstream of the transfer printing station 15 is a fixing station for fixing the loose toner images on the continuous paper.
- This contains a loop puller 19, which has the task of stabilizing the paper.
- a vacuum brake 20 which is connected via a vacuum channel 21 to a preheating caliper 22 of the fixing station.
- the preheating saddle 22 contains a fixed preheating saddle 23 and a pivoting heating saddle 24.
- the actual fixing of the toner images takes place in a fixing gap downstream of the preheating saddle 22 in the paper running direction between a heated fixing roller 25 and a pressure roller 26 which can be swiveled in and out.
- the continuous paper 12 is passed through a cooling device, consisting of a cooling saddle 27 with air outlet openings and a cooling profile 28.
- a cooling device consisting of a cooling saddle 27 with air outlet openings and a cooling profile 28.
- the continuous paper with the toner image fixed thereon is blown with cooling air on the front and back in order to cool the continuous paper with the toner image. This is necessary in order to prevent the individual forms of the continuous paper from sticking to one another during the subsequent stacking of the continuous paper.
- a stacking device with a stacking surface 29 and a feed device 30 which can be raised and lowered relative to the stacking surface 29.
- a tab in the form of a deflection element 33 is also provided on the stacking surface 29.
- All units such as transfer printing station 15, loop puller 19, vacuum brake 20, preheating caliper 22, cooling device 27, form a continuous support surface for the recording medium, the continuous support surface being part of a paper channel leading from the transfer printing station 20 to the entry area to the stacking device is.
- One wall surface of the paper channel is formed by the mounting surface, the other wall surface by the paper elements 34.
- a recording medium additional transport device 35 is arranged in the transition area between preheating saddle 23 and heating saddle 24 and in the area of the sight puller 19, which is designed such that it only takes place during the insertion process engages with the surface of the recording medium 12 and transports it.
- this additional recording medium transport device contains transport elements 36 which are driven by a drive motor 37 (FIG. 3).
- the transport elements which are designed as friction wheels, are made in one piece from elastic material, for example Vulkollan (pure) L63 Shore A. They are mounted above the recording medium 12 at a distance from the recording medium 12 so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation 38.
- Each of the transport members 36 has four webs 39 arranged radially around the axis of rotation, on which friction elements 40 designed as wheel segments are distributed over the circumference.
- Each of the four friction elements 40 has a friction surface 41, each friction surface 41 forming approximately a quarter circle.
- Each transport element 36 is mounted on a holder in the form of an aluminum 42, which is fastened on the axis of rotation 38 of the drive motor 37, for example via a clamp connection.
- Arranged on the aluminum wheel 42 are fastening pins 43 which engage in corresponding fastening openings 44 in the transport element 36 and stop pins 45 which in turn engage in stop openings 46 in the form of elongated holes in the transport element 36.
- the friction elements 40 are now designed with regard to their mass and their elastic attachment to the webs 39 such that a sufficient minimum distance AB from the recording medium 12 is maintained when the friction elements 40 are at a standstill. If the transport elements 36 are rotated with the aid of the drive motors 37 in accordance with the direction of the arrow shown, then due to the centrifugal force, the friction elements pivot into the transport position T shown in dashed lines, to be precise with respect to their deflection path by the stop pins 45 in connection with. the stop openings 46. As a result, the enveloping circle of the transport elements 36 increases so far that the friction elements 40 touch the surface 12 of the recording medium 12 via their friction surfaces 41 and transport them by friction.
- the friction elements 40 swivel back into their rest position due to the return force of the elastic fastening and release the recording medium at a distance AB from the recording medium 12. It is thus possible to support the advance of the recording medium 12 during the actual automatic insertion of the recording medium 12 into the printing device by driving the transport elements 36. After the insertion process has ended, when the recording medium has reached the storage surface 29, the drive of the transport elements 36 is switched off and the friction elements 40 lift off the surface of the recording medium. In the subsequent printing operation, the recording medium 12 with the loose toner images arranged thereon moves freely through the paper transport channel at a distance AB from the transport elements 36.
- the transport elements are cut out in one piece from elastic material. It is also possible to change the friction arrange elements as separate elements that are tied to the axis of rotation via spring elements. Guides may be provided for this purpose. Furthermore, the friction elements 40 can consist of metal and can be coated on their friction surface 41 with friction-increasing material. Furthermore, it is possible to arrange a larger or smaller number of friction elements instead of four friction elements. A single friction element on a single web may be sufficient.
- a pair of transport elements 36 fastened on both sides of the drive motor 37 are assigned to each drive motor 37, as shown in FIG.
- These pairs of transport elements are arranged in the recording medium transport channel in such a way that a transport element for the wider recording media 12/2 and 12/3 is located at least in the area of the narrowest recording medium 12/1 and in an area adjacent to this area.
- the narrowest record carrier 12/1 has a width of 210 mm
- the medium-wide record carrier 12/2 has a width of 375 mm
- the widest record carrier 12/3 has a paper width of 457 mm.
- both transport elements 36 attack approximately on both sides towards the center of the recording medium.
- the transport elements are arranged slightly outside the center. In all of these cases, a degree of execution of the recording media 12 is ensured, although they are not in engagement with pin wheels in this area. A separate side guide is therefore not necessary.
- the transfer printing station is swung down and a feed-through channel between the photoconductor drum 16 and transfer printing station 15.
- the paper transport arm 14 is in the pivoting position. After swiveling the paper transport swivel 14 into the loading position, the actual threading process begins. This can be triggered by pressing a corresponding button on the control panel or automatically by scanning the position of the paper transport rocker 14.
- the feeding device 30 of the stacking device moves into the uppermost position shown in broken lines, adjacent to the fixing station.
- a line counter is started via the device control in the control arrangement, which counts the 1/6 "line impulses of the paper transport 10 triggered by the device control.
- the line impulses are the impulses which are used to define the individual write lines on the continuous paper. They are generated in the device control in connection with the character generator. Since a form length, ie a sheet of continuous paper, contains a predetermined number of writing lines, the starting position A of the continuous paper with respect to the first form is also exactly determined by the location of the insertion position A.
- the tractor drive 17 pushes the continuous paper 12 over its perforations at the loading speed in the direction of the fixing station, thereby sliding the beginning of the continuous paper, ie the first form on the support surface of the
- the loading speed must not be too fast, since the inert mass of the continuous paper can lead to paper jams when accelerated. It must also not be too slow, otherwise the paper may deform too much when it passes through the warm fuser, which in turn can cause a paper jam.
- the tests showed that an optimal loading paper speed is between 0.3 m / s and 0.7 m / s.
- the continuous paper runs immediately after leaving the transfer printing station 15 into the paper channel comprising the support surface and the paper guide elements.
- the transport elements 36 driven by the drive motors 37, grip the recording medium 12 with the friction surfaces 41 of the friction elements 40 and transport them through the fixing station.
- the feed speed of the transport elements 36 is selected to be somewhat higher than the feed speed of the transfer printing station 15. This tightens the paper.
- the heating saddle 24 is pivoted away from the fixing roller 25, it is in the standby mode in the heated state.
- the pressure roller 26 is also pivoted away. After leaving the preheating saddle 22, the beginning of the paper reaches the cooling saddle 27 and slides thereon along and runs into the area of the paper transport roller 31 of the feed device 30.
- the paper detector 32 which detects the paper web and, via a control arrangement, gives the command to the device control to stop the further transport of the enduro paper. Then it is checked whether there is a paper jam. If there is no paper jam, the beginning of the continuous paper 12 is moved downwards in synchronism with the feed device 30 into the area of the stacking surface 29. This is followed by a fold-correct deposit via the stacker 33.
- vacuum is applied to the vacuum brake 20 via the vacuum channel 21 to the preheating caliper 22 by means of a vacuum valve, and the recording medium 12 is thereby positioned on the saddle so that it cannot move.
- the paper transport rollers 31 are switched off, as is the drive of the transport elements 36.
- the friction elements 14 with their friction surfaces 41 lift off the surface of the recording medium 12.
