Definitions

  • the invention relates to paper transport in printing devices with a movable print head.
  • the guide roller is on the Printhead face rotatably mounted and lies on a flexible, parallel to the Pressure abutment extending band, the flexible band during the Printing process is firmly on the receipt.
  • a reference position must be determined for the document, for what a paper stop that can be swung into the printing web is used. There is also a gap between when inserted to open the paper transport rollers. So far by an associated drive, for example achieved by solenoids.
  • the object of the invention is the functions mentioned without providing your own drive.
  • the invention solves this problem by the printhead in moves to a position outside the print area and thereby actuating a lever which swivels in the paper stop into the paper transport path. Further the print head runs onto a stationary counterpart, so that he pushed away from the platen and on Gap is opened into the material to be printed can be retracted. At the same time through angle levers and push rods the paper feed roller pairs open. The arrangement additionally effects a printhead gap control.
  • Fig. 1 shows a cross section through an arrangement according to the invention.
  • one is on a print head carrier mounted printhead.
  • printhead becomes synonymous used for print head carriers.
  • the printhead 1 is perpendicular to the plane of representation on guide rods 8a, 8b slidably arranged and with a not shown Drive for a movement in this direction Mistake.
  • a Pressure abutment 6 Opposite the print head 1 is a Pressure abutment 6, so that a paper transport path 7 is present is in which the document 40 to be printed by Guide and support plates, not shown, is guided.
  • the Guide rods 8a, 8b are connected to the chassis in such a way that the print head 1 by a few millimeters in the Display plane moved away from the paper transport path 7 can be and so the distance of the print head 1 from the pressure abutment 6 can be changed, as further will be described below.
  • the document 40 to be printed is in an initial position shown. It is supported by a leading role 3b, which is the document presses against a counter roller 4b in the direction of the arrow A transported in front of the printhead. Continue in the direction of transport there are a second guide roller 3a and an associated counter roller 4a, which take over the transport, if the document was captured by them.
  • the counter roles 4a, 4b are fixed to the chassis via pivot bearings connected and are synchronized by means not shown driven.
  • the guide rollers 3a and 3b are on rotary bearings 23a, 23b attached to angle levers 2a and 2b. You can also used in a known manner pairs of angle levers that are mutually perpendicular to the image plane standing rods are mechanically rigidly coupled.
  • a lever to the right and left of the paper feed path used by a rod are connected, on which guide rollers 3a are rotatably mounted are.
  • the angle levers 2a, 2b are in turn over Pivot bearings 21a, 21b held relative to the chassis.
  • rotary bearings 24a, 24b couple a push rod 9 the angle lever, so that the guide rollers 3a, 3b in the same Dimensions pressed against the counter rollers 4a, 4b or by the Counter rollers can be lifted off. All axes of the bearings 21a, 21b, 22a, 22b, 23a, 23b are parallel to each other.
  • the paper stop 5 is preferably has a stop surface 5 'perpendicular to the image plane.
  • the paper stop 5 is designed as a lever, via a rotary bearing 22b approximately in the middle between the stationary pivot bearing 21b and the bearing point 23b for the Guide roller 3b is attached.
  • a suitable bearing or a double lever it is avoided that the paper stop from the shown level evades.
  • Pivot point 22b On the paper stop 5 is at some distance from that Pivot point 22b is a bolt 13 perpendicular to the plane of the illustration attached protruding. This bolt can go through a driver 14 of a pivot lever 10 in the same Direction A as the paper transport are operated, so that the paper stop 5 in the display plane rotates and moves to the position shown in dashed lines 5 " can be.
  • the pivot lever 10 is movable by means of a pivot bearing 11 stored, its axis perpendicular to the paper transport path 7 stands. 2, the pivot lever 10 is off View of arrow B shown.
  • the print head 1 will by the drive on the guide rods, not shown Travel 8a, 8b in direction C.
  • Travel 8a, 8b is the one shown Position and at the same time the starting position of the printhead on the left margin.
  • the Swivel lever 10 actuates bolt 13 with driver 14, so that the paper stop 5 'in the working position 5 "is pivoted.
  • the Swivel lever 10 has a short lever arm on the roller 12 and a long one on the driver 14, a short one is sufficient Away from a few millimeters of printhead shift to bring the paper stop 5 into the working position 5 ".
  • the long lever makes it possible Attach paper stop 5 in the printing area, although the Printhead 1 a triggering movement outside the print area performs.
  • a second roller 30 is fixed in relation to the chassis and therefore presses when the movement continues of the print head 1 via a run-up slope 31 den Print head away from the paper transport path 7. It thus causes the printhead to lower.
  • the printhead 1 is connected to the angle lever 2a in a bearing 22a, so that the latter rotates around the fixed bearing 21a performs and the guide roller 3a from the paper transport path 7 is lifted off.
  • This connection can be made permanently, as with a round one Guide rod 8a (or a suitable bearing of the guide rod 8a in the print head), the print head 1 rotates can perform around the axis of the guide rod.
  • the second guide rod 8b, which is a tilting movement of the Prevented printhead is by a similar pair of levers connected to the chassis or, as indicated in FIG. 1, the print head can be moved through an elongated hole.
  • the print head executes 1 a movement in the arrow C opposite Direction, i.e. to the starting position and to the printing positions there. This will initially lower the printhead canceled so that the print head 1 again against the pressure abutment 6 and the guide rollers 3a, 3b against move the counter rollers 4a, 4b.
  • One not shown Spring forces this movement and provides pressure the guide rollers 3a, 3b against the counter rollers 4a, 4b.
  • the further backward movement of the print head 1 also gives the Swivel lever 9 free, which is then by the paper stop 5 acting gravity or another not shown spring moves back and causes the Paper stop 5 pivoted out of the paper transport path 7 becomes.
  • the preferred embodiment shown can also can be used in a simplified manner by pressing the angle lever 2b in the area of the paper stop 5 and the push rod 9 is dispensed with and the counter roller 3b permanently by a Suspension is pressed against the drive roller 4b. It remains the printhead lowering by the roller 30 and the distance control by the angle lever 2a in the area of the print head 1 in interaction with the drive rollers there 4a, counter rollers 3b and the angle lever 2a.
  • the suspension for the pair of rollers 3b, 4b less powerful than that for the one coupled to the printhead Pair of rollers 3a, 4a.
  • Becomes a sufficiently stiff Document inserted so he can push the Rollers are pushed to the stop and after lowering the ruler to the other one, with the Printhead coupled roller pair are transported, which then determines the transport.
  • rollers 12 and 30 can also be designed accordingly and lubricated sliding surfaces are replaced, if the printhead drive is designed accordingly.
