Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for printing markings on flat shipments according to the preamble of the claim 1.
  • US-A-4 207 579 a device for printing sheets for the reproduction of documents is known, in which the sheets are conveyed past the printhead on transport belts.
  • the transport belts are perforated / have holes and under the belts on the side facing away from the print head there is a vacuum device which acts through the holes in the transport belts on the sheets to be printed and pulls them onto the transport belts so that the sheets slip on the Transport belt is avoided. If mail items with different thicknesses are also to be printed with this device, the print head has different distances from the surface to be printed and a print image according to the task could not be guaranteed.
  • US-A-4 447 817 describes a printing unit with a transport means for sheets to be printed, in which the sheets are also transported with transport belts.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore a device to create with the mailings to be printed different Thick safely with steady speed and with a predetermined distance with little effort on the print heads be transported past.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show a preferred embodiment of a Device according to the invention in top or side view.
  • a backdrop 1 is arranged so that the between a cover belt 2 arranged in pairs and a perforated conveyor belt 4 funded program 3 at a predetermined distance is guided past print heads 8.
  • the printing station 8a points in addition to those shown in this embodiment two print heads 8 still ink tank 7 and an ink supply system and a cleaning pump, but the following are not shown in more detail.
  • the printing stations 8a are controlled by an electronics magazine. Preferably two printing stations 8a are used, each station printed on one side of a shipment.
  • An incoming Consignment 3 triggers the signal via this light barrier 10 Express.
  • the first print head 8 begins first to press.
  • the second print head 8 begins at a time offset to press.
  • the start of printing must be coordinated be that a uniform image is created.
  • the Control of the printing process is preferably with a Synchronized clock, which is driven by the conveyor belt 4 becomes.
  • the distance of the light barrier 10 becomes the first Print head 8 or the second print head 8 in a number implemented by measures. Printing begins when the corresponding number of bars has been reached, this corresponds to again a certain way.
  • the printing process itself will controlled directly by the clock. Since the control of the It is irrelevant what speed is printed depending on the route have the shipments.
  • the Printheads 8 designed as an inkjet printer. Sitting there in the print heads 8 a pixel plate in which the nozzles 11 are arranged are that a predetermined number of these each create a pixel on the artwork.
  • a linear arrangement of nozzles 11 is preferably used, although matrix or other arrangements are also possible.
  • these are spatially offset vertically and below arranged at a predetermined angle ⁇ .
  • the distance from the light barrier 10 to the respective first nozzles 11 of the respective print head 8 becomes an electronic computer given as delay.
  • the computer converts the route into bars around.
  • the start of printing can be changed by changing the delay Heads can be adjusted.
  • Cover belt 2 and perforated conveyor belt 4 overflow Rollers 12, between which the device is arranged.
  • the Rollers 12 close the spread between Cover belt 2 and perforated conveyor belt 4.
  • the size of the normal force is determined by the spreading the conveyor belts determined by the broadcast 3. The spread leads to stretching of the ligaments. In front and behind the Program 3 will spread the conveyor belts through the Rollers 12 closed. In addition, the size is determined by the Spreading pending normal force by the distance of this determined both roles. Since the device for printing between the rollers 12 is arranged, the distance between the rollers not big enough to have a slippery shipment to ensure.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show a substantially in the area of the printheads 8 arranged vacuum device realized as a suction tub 5.
  • This suction pan preferably extends linearly to the area of the rollers 12 on both sides of the printing station 6, which is arranged between the rollers 12.
  • the suction pan has an opening that the conveyor belts, adapted to the cover belt 2 and the perforated conveyor belt 4 is, so that the programs 3 from the negative pressure against the Conveyor belt 4 are pressed. This is made possible by that the conveyor belt 4 rests against the backdrop, the runs over the suction pan.
  • the opening is as Perforated sheet executed.
  • the suction pan extends longer than the backdrop.
  • the opening of the vacuum device 5, i.e. essentially the suction pan is such on cover belt 2 and conveyor belt 4th adjusted that programs 3 from the negative pressure against the perforated conveyor belt 4 are pressed, however, that if no shipment 3 is in front of the vacuum device 5 The holes in the perforated conveyor belt are closed.
  • the vacuum device 5 increases the normal force on the mail items, since the mail items are sucked in by the conveyor belt running over the backdrop.
  • the magnitude of the additional normal force is at least a factor 10 higher than any force achieved by the conveyor belts alone.
  • FIG. 4 A situation is shown in which there is a hole between the holes Conveyor belt 4 and the cover belt 2 a thicker shipment 3 is clamped. With proper operation, the Opening the suction pan through the shipment 3 and the cover tape 2 closed. However, is a thick shipment 3 between the Conveyor belts clamped, can be in front of and behind the broadcast 3 Opening wedge 18 arise. In this case, the cover tape 2 do not close the opening wedge 18, causing holes in the Conveyor belt 4 are not covered. This creates a leak that causes the pressure to drop.
  • FIG. 5 shows schematically a suction pressure setting device for Connection to the suction chamber.
  • a vacuum is applied to a pump 20 generated, which is kept constant by a vacuum valve 21 becomes. If a certain negative pressure is reached, it opens the vacuum valve 21 and air is via a Bypass 22 sucked. The vacuum remains constant. Breaks by leaking the pressure together, the bypass 22 is closed. Since a large volume flow is conveyed there are only slight fluctuations in pressure.
