Definitions
- the invention relates to a thermal printer according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the thermal printers known in practice are used for printing on paper, cardboard, etc. by means of a thermal film, as is the case, for example, when printing on labels. They usually have one or more thermal print heads, each of which cooperate with a printing roller in order to print the printing material with the thermal film. In the event of a malfunction in the thermal print head and / or damage to the printing roller, these components must be replaced. To do this, the housing of the thermal printer must be opened, the damaged component or components dismantled and the new components assembled. In addition to the specialist personnel required for this, this process is time-consuming, as a result of which the thermal printer is idle for an undesirably long time.
- the printing unit can be completely replaced quickly in the event of damage. It is only necessary to release the electrical connections between the control device of the thermal printer and the thermal print head as well as any lock that may be present. The printing unit can then be removed from the thermal printer and exchanged for a new, undamaged one, the electrical connections re-established and the existing lock, if any, locked again. As a result, the downtimes of the thermal printer according to the invention are considerably reduced compared to the thermal printers known in the prior art.
- the storage device can be designed in any way within the scope of its function of combining the thermal print head and the printing roller into a printing unit. It has proven to be advantageous if the bearing device is formed by two spaced apart and at least approximately parallel bearing plates, which receive the thermal print head and the printing roller between their two mutually facing sides.
- the pressure roller can be rotatably mounted directly in the two bearing plates.
- the thermal print head can also be held on the bearing plates directly or with the interposition of a further holding device.
- at least one of the bearing plates has a guide for the electrical connecting cable between the thermal print head and the control device of the thermal printer. It should be noted here that the electrical connection between the thermal print head and the control device of the thermal printer can be realized in a simple manner by a correspondingly dimensioned plug connection, it being possible for a single plug to be provided which establishes all the cable connections.
- the two bearing plates have the same outer contour. It has furthermore proven to be advantageous if the bearing plates have an outer contour such that they can be used both for printing units which are arranged above a printing material to be printed and for printing units which are arranged below this material.
- the shape of the bearing plates can be designed as desired within the scope of their function. - 3 -
- the bearing plates each have the shape of a sickle with at least one bearing plate arm protruding from its convex side.
- the thermal print head can be arranged between the bearing plate arms of the two bearing plates and the printing roller can be rotatably mounted on the free end of the bearing plate arms.
- the thermal print head and / or the printing roller or the bearing plates it may be sufficient to use only the printing roller and / or the thermal printing head to connect the two bearing plates to one another in such a way that a printing unit is formed. It is also possible for the two bearing plates to be connected to one another via at least one connecting and stiffening axis.
- the connecting and stiffening axes can be held on the bearing plates by means of cylinder screws.
- the number of connection and stiffening axes can be chosen arbitrarily.
- the use of three connecting and stiffening axes has proven to be advantageous, these preferably being arranged in the area of the sickle tips of the bearing plates and the free end of the protruding bearing plate arm.
- the thermal film is guided independently of the printing unit.
- a particularly compact design of the thermal printer can be achieved in that the at least one existing guide element for the thermal film is also part of the printing unit combined by the storage device.
- the at least one guide element preferably formed by a guide axis, can be arranged between the two crescent-shaped bearing plates and can be held on the latter in the area of the one crescent tip of the bearing plates, in particular the crescent point of the bearing plates located in front of the thermal head in the feed direction of the thermal film.
- the thermal printhead can be fixed or held in the thermal printer by a wide variety of measures. For example, it is conceivable that the printing unit is clamped between two walls of the housing of the thermal printer so that it is fixed in its position. A simpler and quicker solution can be that the storage device is held on the thermal printer via a central locking device.
- the central locking device can in turn be formed by a wide variety of solutions.
- it can be a toggle lock or a bayonet lock.
- a particularly simple solution consists in that the central locking device is formed by a threaded rod held on the thermal print head, onto which the printing unit can be pushed, and a locking nut that can be screwed onto the threaded rod after the printing unit has been pushed on.
- the thermal printer can also be advantageous for the thermal printer to be provided with two printing units arranged one behind the other on one side of the printing material to be printed. If the thermo film material on one printing unit is exhausted, the other printing unit can be switched over and the printing process can be continued after the interruption necessary for the switching. Then, while the other printing unit is printing, the thermal printing film material on the first printing unit can be replaced.
- the printing material to be printed is only to be printed on one side, it may be sufficient, apart from the situation described above, that only one printing unit is provided in the thermal printer. If, on the other hand, the printing material to be printed is to be printed on both sides, it can be advantageous if three printing units are provided in the thermal printer, two of which are arranged on one side and one on the other side of the printing material to be printed.
- Figure 1 is a schematic representation of the inside of a thermal printer according to the invention.
- Figure 2 is a schematic representation of an inventive

- the structure of the printing unit 20 as an example for the printing units 20, 30, 40 is explained in more detail with reference to FIG.
- the main components of the printing unit 20 are a thermal printing head 22, a printing roller 24 which interacts with the thermal printing head 22, and a bearing device 26.
- the bearing device 26 consists of two spaced apart and at least approximately parallel to each other and parallel to the feed and discharge direction of the printing material D (see arrow X in Fig. 1) arranged bearing plates 26a, 26b.
- the bearing plates 26a, 26b take the thermal print head 22 between them, which can be held on the one hand directly or on the other hand with the interposition of a holding device which may be provided for it, but not shown in FIG. 2, on the bearing plates 26a, 26b printing roller 24 extending essentially transversely to the feed direction X of the printing material D.
- a bearing plate 26a or 26b has the shape of a sickle with two sickle tips 26aa, 26ab, on the convex outside of which a bearing plate arm 26ac is arranged so as to protrude freely.
- the pressure roller 24 is rotatably supported at the free end of the bearing arm 26ac.
- a guide device 27 for the thermal film T is arranged on the right-hand sickle end 26ab in relation to FIG. 2ab of the bearing plate 26a, but also the bearing plate 26b.
- the guide device 27 can be formed by a rod or axis, around which the thermal film T is guided, as will be explained in more detail in connection with FIG. 1.
- an adjusting device 28 for adjusting the thermal print head 22 is provided on the bearing plate 26a. This adjusting device 28 is arranged approximately in the middle of the sickle in the region of the bearing arm 26ac projecting from the convex outer side.
- the bearing device 26 is in the housing 12 of the thermal printer 10 by means of a threaded rod which is held on the rear vertical wall 12a of the housing 12 which can be seen in FIG. 1 (with reference to FIG. 1).
- the pressure unit 20 can be pushed onto this threaded rod, which is not shown in more detail in FIG. 2, and its position can be fixed by means of a nut 29 which is then to be screwed onto the threaded rod from the outside.
- the opening in the two bearing plates 26a, 26b for the threaded rod which is not shown in FIG. 2 itself, is provided approximately centrally in the crescent-shaped section of the two bearing plates 26a, 26b.
- the two bearing plates 26a, 26b of the bearing device 26 could be connected to one another by means of the printing roller 24 and / or the thermal print head 22 and / or the guide element 27 for the thermal film T.
- three connecting and stiffening rods are also provided, which are held in the bearing plates 26a, 26b by means of cylinder screws 25.
- the connecting and stiffening rods are each arranged on the two sickle ends 26aa, 26ab and the free end of the protruding arm 26ac.
- the printing units 20, 30, 40 are each arranged in such a way that in the two printing units 20, 30 provided above the printing material D, the printing rollers 24, 34 are each below the printing material and that below the printing material D arranged printing unit 40, the printing roller 44 are arranged above the printing material D, so that the printing material D is received in the individual printing units 20, 30, 40 in each case between the thermal print head 22, 32, 42 there and the associated printing roller 24, 34, 44.
- the printing material D is drawn off from a supply station DV, in which the printing material D wound into a roll is rotatably held, and is guided into the interior of the housing 12 of the thermal printer 10. The printing material D is then printed in each of the three printing units 20, 30, 40 by means of a thermal film T. - 7 -
- the unwinding and winding units 50, 60, 70 will now be explained in more detail below with reference to the unwinding and winding unit 50.
- the unwinding and winding unit 50 comprises an unwinding roller 52, on which the thermo film material T is wound, and a winding roller 54, on which the used thermo film material T is rewound.
- the unwinding and winding rollers 52, 54 and 62, 64, in relation to FIG. 1 are each arranged one above the other, whereas the unwinding and winding rollers 72, 74 of the printing unit 40 arranged below the printing material D, in relation to FIG. 1, are arranged horizontally next to one another.
- the thermal film material T drawn off from the supply roll 52 is first fed to the printing unit 20 via the guide element 27, from there to the thermal print head 22 and the printing roller 24 and then to a deflection roller 56, in order to then be wound up again on the supply roll 54 for the used thermal film material T. to become.
- a cutting device 80 is provided after the printing units 20, 30, 40 inside the housing 1 2 of the thermal printer 10, which has a conventional structure and is therefore not described in detail.
- a head pressure adjuster 90, 100, 110 is provided for each printing unit 20, 30, 40, as can be seen in FIG.
- the thermal film T and / or the printing material D may have to be threaded out of the respective printing unit 20, 30, 40. Then, after loosening the nut 29, the pressure unit 20, 30, 40 can be pulled off the threaded rod. A new printing unit 20, 30, 40 is then pushed onto the threaded rod and the nut 29 screwed back on, so that this new printing unit 20, 30, 40 is held securely in the thermal printer 10. Thereafter, the thermal film material T and the printing material D are threaded into the respective printing unit 20, 30, 40. Possibly. the thermal print head 22, 32, 42 is still to be adjusted by means of the adjusting device 28. The factory-adjusted thermal print head 22, 32, 42 no longer has to be adjusted. After closing the housing 12, the printing process can then be resumed.
