Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Druckmaschine mit einer ein Band enthaltenden Kassette, die zwei in einem Gehäuse im seitlichen Abstand angeordnete, drehbar gelagerte Hülsen aufweist, wobei das Band von der einen Hülse abgespult, an einem Druckkopf vorbeigeführt und auf die andere Hülse aufgespult wird und am Gehäuse eine Durchgangsbohrung zum Einstecken eines Aufnahmebolzens der Druckmaschine angebracht ist.The invention relates to a printing press with a belt Cassette, the two rotatably mounted in a housing at a lateral distance Has sleeves, the tape being unwound from the one sleeve, on a printhead passed and wound onto the other sleeve and one on the housing Through hole for inserting a locating pin of the printing machine is appropriate.
Eine Druckmaschine gattungsgemäßer Art ist aus der DE 3723279 A1 bekannt geworden. Der dort beschriebene Drucker ist zum Einsatz einer Farbbandkassette geeignet, in der ein Band enthalten ist, welches während des Druckbetriebes von einer Hülse abgewickelt, gemeinsam mit einem Aufzeichnungsträger zwischen einem Thermodruckkopf und einer Andruckrolle durchgeführt und schließlich auf einer anderen Hülse aufgewickelt wird. Zur optimalen Positionierung der Kassette im Drucker sind am Rahmen der Druckmaschine Führungszapfen vorgesehen, die sich entlang der geometrischen Achsen der Hülsen erstrecken und in Bohrungen der Kassette eingreifen. Um einen hinreichenden Raum für den Druckkopf zwischen dem Gehäuse der Kassette und dem freien Trum des Bandes zu schaffen, ist letztere an ihren seitlichen Berandungen mit zwei überstehenden Kassettenarmen versehen, an deren Stirnseite jeweils ein Umlenkelement, d. h. eine Rolle für das Band angeordnet ist. Da die Kassettenarme jedoch relativ kurz sind, ist an dem der Hülse, auf die das Band aufgewickelt wird, benachbarten Kassettenarm ein langer, nach außen überstehender Arm angebracht, an dessen Spitze ein weiteres Umlenkelement für das Band sitzt. Das freie, nutzbare Trum des Bandes wird so auf einem dreieckförmigen Weg transportiert, wobei erst durch den überstehenden Arm hinreichend Platz zwischen dem Gehäuse und dem Trum entsteht, um den Druckkopf dazwischen plazieren zu können.A printing press of the generic type has become known from DE 3723279 A1. The printer described there is suitable for the use of an ink ribbon cassette in which a Tape is included, which is unwound from a sleeve during printing, together with a record carrier between a thermal print head and one Pinch roller performed and finally wound up on another tube. For optimal positioning of the cassette in the printer are on the frame of the printing machine Guide pins are provided that extend along the geometric axes of the sleeves extend and engage in holes in the cassette. To have sufficient space for the print head between the housing of the cassette and the free strand of the ribbon create, the latter is on its side edges with two protruding cassette arms provided, on the end face of each one deflection element, d. H. a role for the tape is arranged. However, since the cassette arms are relatively short, the Sleeve, on which the tape is wound, adjacent cassette arm a long, after arm protruding from the outside attached, at the tip of another deflecting element for the tape is sitting. The free, usable strand of the band is thus on a triangular Transported away, with enough space between only by the protruding arm the housing and the run is created in order to be able to place the printhead between them.
Als nachteilig ist bei den bekannten Druckmaschinen anzusehen, daß keine nachträgliche Justierung der Lage der Kassette und des Bandes möglich ist, so daß aufgrund von Fertigungstoleranzen der Abmessungen der Kassette bzw. des Bandes die optimale Positionierung des Bandes relativ zum Druckkopf nicht gewährleistet ist, so daß - insbesondere bei höheren Druckgeschwindigkeiten - nicht immer gute Druckergebnisse entstehen.A disadvantage of the known printing presses that no subsequent Adjustment of the position of the cassette and the tape is possible, so that due to Manufacturing tolerances of the dimensions of the cassette or the tape the optimal Positioning the ribbon relative to the print head is not guaranteed, so that - especially at higher printing speeds - not always good printing results arise.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Druckmaschine der eingangs beschriebenen Art so weiterzubilden, daß jederzeit eine optimale Position des Bandes innerhalb der Druckmaschine gewährleistet ist.The invention is therefore based on the object of a printing press at the outset described type so that at all times an optimal position of the belt is guaranteed within the printing press.
Zur Lösung der Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, daß das Gehäuse an einem auf dem Aufnahmebolzen verschieb- und festsetzbaren Stellring anliegt.To solve the problem, the invention proposes that the housing on a rests on the locating pin, which can be moved and fixed.
Die Erfindung macht sich den Aufnahmebolzen der Maschine zunutze, auf welchen man die Kassette aufstecken kann. Zusätzlich wird die Kassette wie bereits aus dem Stand der Technik auch auf die Antriebswelle und die Bremswelle für die beiden Hülsen mit dem Band aufgesteckt. Aufgrund dieser Dreipunkthaltung erreicht man eine ganz korrekte Zuordnung der Kassette bzw. ihres jeweils arbeitenden Trums zu anderen Elementen der Maschine bzw. zur Druckwalze der Druckmaschine. Dadurch, daß die Kassette an dem Stellring anliegt, der seinerseits axial auf dem die Durchgangsbohrung der Kassette durchdringenden Aufnahmebolzen verschieb- und feststellbar ist, kann ihre Position entlang der geometrischen Achse des Aufnahmebolzens, die im Regelfall parallel zu der der Hülsen und zur Druckwalze verläuft, variiert und justiert werden, um so eine optimale Lage des Bandes zu realisieren. Der Stellring kann sowohl an einer der Druckmaschine zugewandten Fläche als auch an einer gegenüberliegenden, dem freien Ende des Aufnahmebolzens benachbarten Fläche der Kassette anliegen. Auch die Verwendung zweier Stellringe, die die Kassette unverrückbar zwischen sich einschließen, ist denkbar. The invention makes use of the mounting bolts of the machine on which one can insert the cassette. In addition, the cassette is from the state of the Technology also on the drive shaft and the brake shaft for the two sleeves with the Tape attached. Due to this three-point posture, a very correct one is achieved Assignment of the cassette or its respective working strand to other elements of the Machine or to the printing roller of the printing press. The fact that the cassette on the Collar is present, which in turn axially on the through hole of the cassette penetrating locating pin is displaceable and lockable, their position along the geometric axis of the locating pin, which is usually parallel to the the sleeves and to the pressure roller runs, varied and adjusted in order to achieve an optimal Realize the position of the tape. The collar can be attached to one of the printing presses facing surface and at an opposite, the free end of the Fit the locating pin on the adjacent surface of the cassette. Use too two collars, which immovably enclose the cassette between them, is conceivable.
Die Kassette kann aus zwei identischen, parallel verlaufenden Gehäusehälften bestehen, zwischen denen die Hülsen angeordnet sind. Der Aufnahmebolzen durchdringt dann zumindest die Durchgangsbohrung einer der Gehäusehälften und der Stellring liegt an dieser Gehäusehälfte an. Alternativ zu einer Kassette mit zwei identischen Gehäusehälften kann eine von ihnen (insbesondere die der Maschine abgewandte) in ihrem oberen, dem Druckkopf abgewandten Bereich in der Mitte vergrößert sein, um Platz fur die Durchgangsbohrung zu schaffen.The cassette can consist of two identical, parallel housing halves, between which the sleeves are arranged. The locating pin then penetrates at least the through hole of one of the housing halves and the adjusting ring is present this half of the housing. As an alternative to a cassette with two identical housing halves can one of them (especially the one facing away from the machine) in its upper, the Printhead facing area must be enlarged to accommodate the center To create through hole.
Die Durchgangsbohrung des Gehäuses der Kassette kann durch die Bohrung einer Lagerhülse gebildet sein, die in einen Durchbruch einer Gehäusehälfte eingesetzt ist.The through bore of the housing of the cassette can be through the bore of a Be formed bearing sleeve which is inserted into an opening in one half of the housing.
Im Regelfall ist die Durchgangsbohrung auf einer Quer-Symmetrieebene der Kassette in der Nähe der Berandung angeordnet, während das nutzbare, freie Trum des Bandes und die zugehörigen Umlenkelemente am gegenüberliegenden Ende der Kassette angebracht sind.As a rule, the through hole is on a transverse plane of symmetry of the cassette in arranged near the edge, while the usable, free strand of the tape and the associated deflection elements are attached to the opposite end of the cassette.
Es kann beispielsweise bei der Verwendung bereits bedruckter Aufzeichungsträger angebracht sein, nur einen Teil seiner Breite noch nachträglich - beispielsweise mit einer Artikelnummer, Äbezeichnung oder einem Preis - zu bedrucken, während die übrige Breite bereits beschriftet ist. Sollen zur Einsparung von Druckbandkosten schmälere Bänder verwendet werden, so können diese ebenfalls von der erfindungsgemäßen Kassette aufgenommen werden, wobei die Kassette über den am Aufnahmebolzen axial verschieb- und feststellbaren Stellring so ausgerichtet wird, daß sich das schmälere Druckband in dem zu bedruckenden Bereich befindet. Die Erfindung ermöglicht nicht nur die Verwendung unterschiedlich breiter Kassetten, sondern auch die Zuordnung derIt can be used, for example, when using already printed recording media be appropriate, only a part of its width afterwards - for example with a Article number, designation or a price - to be printed while the remaining width is already labeled. Should narrow tapes to save printing tape costs are used, they can also from the cassette according to the invention are picked up, the cassette being axially displaceable on the and lockable collar is aligned so that the narrower ribbon in the area to be printed. The invention not only enables use cassettes of different widths, but also the assignment of the
Kassette zu einem ganz bestimmten Abschnitt einer die Breite des Bandes über treffenden Druckwalze. Es ist so auch ohne weiteres möglich, zwei schmale Kassetten nebeneinander anzubringen und gleichzeitig mit zwei Bändern, insbesondere unterschiedlicher Farbgebung zu drucken.Cassette to a specific section of the width of the tape hitting pressure roller. It is also easily possible to have two narrow cassettes to be placed side by side and simultaneously with two tapes, in particular different colors to print.

Die Kassette 2 wird in die Druckmaschine 1 etwa senkrecht zur Bildebene eingesetzt. Eine
rückwärtige Wand 3 der Druckmaschine wird von zwei im seitlichen Abstand
angeordneten außenverzahnten Wellen durchsetzt, wobei bspw. die eine Welle 4 eine mit
einem Antriebsmotor verbundene Antriebswelle ist, während die andere Welle 5 eine mit
einer Rutschkupplung verbundene Bremswelle sein kann. Der Seitenabstand der beiden
Wellen 4 und 5 entspricht dem Lochabstand 6 der Kassette 2.The
Die Kassette 2 nimmt ein Band 7 auf, welches sich auf einer Hülse 8, vorzugsweise
Papphülse, befindet. Wenn dieses Band 7 im Sinne der Pfeile 9, 10 und 11 der Figur 2
ablaufen soll, so ist das Band 7 mit der Hülse 8 zunächst der Bremswelle 5 zugeordnet.
Wenn man die Antriebswelle 4 antreibt, so wird es von der Hülse 8 abgewickelt und auf
eine weitere Hülse 12 aufgewickelt die von der Antriebswelle 4 durchsetzt ist. Das Band 7
wird über Umlenkelemente 13 und 14 am in Figur 2 unteren Kassettenende umgelenkt.
Das zwischen diesen Umlenkelementen 13 und 14 befindliche Teilstück bildet das
arbeitende nutzbare Trum 15 des Bandes 7. Es wird zwischen einem Druckkopf 16 der
Druckmaschine 1 und einer Druckwalze 17 hindurchgeführt (Figur 1).The
Bei der Kassette gemäß Figur 6 ist die Gehäusehälfte 19 an ihrem oberen Ende mit einer
Ausbuchtung 49 versehen, an der sich ein Durchbruch 50 befindet. In diesen ist eine
Lagerhülse 51 eingepreßt, die vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff besteht. Beim Einsetzen dieser
Kassette 2 in die Druckmaschine 1 greift in die Bohrung der Lagerhülse 51 ein an der
rückwärtigen Wand 3 der Druckmaschine 1 angebrachter Aufnahmebolzen 52 ein. Durch
diesen Aufnahmebolzen 52 sowie die beiden Wellen 4 und 5 ist die Kassette 2 der Figuren
5 und 6 sicher in der Druckmaschine 1 fixiert. Zum besseren Aufschieben
der Kassette 2 ist der Aufnahmebolzen 52 an seinem freien Ende etwas angespitzt.
Dasselbe gilt gemäß der zeichnerischen Darstellung für die Wellen 4 und 5. Im übrigen
durchsetzt der Schaft der Wellen 4 und 5 jeweils eine Lagerb□chse 53 der Wand 3. Sie
dient zur axialen und radialen Lagerung.In the case of the cassette according to FIG. 6, the
Weil die Kassette 2 der Figur 6 schmäler ist als Kassetten, deren Dicke etwa der Länge der
Wellen 4 und 5, soweit sie über die Wand 3 hinausstehen, entspricht, muß man die genaue
Lage der Kassette 2 gegenüber der Druckmaschine 1 bzw. deren Wand 3 durch geeignete
Mittel vorgeben. Eine Möglichkeit besteht darin, daß man auf den Aufnahmebolzen 2
einen Stellring 54 mit einer Klemmschraube 55 aufschiebt. Es ist leicht einsehbar, daß man
durch ein Verschieben des Stellrings 54 nach links, also gegen die Wand 3 hin, den durch
diesen gebildeten Anschlag verlagert und dadurch die Kassette 2 näher an die Wand 3
heranrückt. Andererseits kann man sich anhand der Figur 6 auch leicht vorstellen, daß man
zwei Kassetten 2 nebeneinander in die Druckmaschine 1 einbringt, wobei jede mit einem
anderen insbesondere andersfarbigen Band 7 geladen sein kann. Es ist auch ohne weiteres
möglich, zunächst irgendwelche Etiketten oder dergleichen mit der Kassette 2 in der
Stellung gemäß Figur 6 zu bedrucken und nachfolgend die Kassette 2 ganz nach links zu
verschieben um einen zweiten Aufdruck seitlich neben dem ersten am Druckgut
anzubringen.Because the
