Definitions
- the invention relates to a franking machine with at least one print head of an inkjet printing unit for printing insertable or continuous flat shipping objects such as letters or postcards, consisting of a guide part arranged above the print head and opposite its nozzle mouth level, one of which has the shipping objects between them and opposite Axles arranged transversely to the conveying direction are assigned to a conveying device transporting the objects to be dispatched.
- a franking machine with at least one print head of an inkjet printing unit for printing insertable or continuous flat shipping objects such as letters or postcards, consisting of a guide part arranged above the print head and opposite its nozzle mouth level, one of which has the shipping objects between them and opposite Axles arranged transversely to the conveying direction are assigned to a conveying device transporting the objects to be dispatched.
- new stamp application methods including those based on thermal and inkjet technology, are increasingly being used in addition to the classic rotation technology
- Inkjet or inkjet printheads have been known for a long time and are used in particular in PC printers.
- the knowledge gained there when using such printheads cannot refer to the field of application here Franking machines are transferred.
- the reasons for this are, among other things, the high speed of the letters to be franked, their different formats and thicknesses as well as the significantly rougher environmental conditions, based on the partly dirty surfaces of the shipping objects.
- these franking imprints must meet the strict quality requirements of the post offices, which requires a high level of design effort and reliability
- the object of the present invention is then to design a franking machine in such a way that it is equipped with an inkjet print head when franking shipping objects such as letters, cards or the like of different thicknesses, different formats and materials, and allows largely trouble-free printing and produces a clearly identifiable print image Since nowadays such machines have to enable high throughput, fully automatic operation is also required
- the management of the shipping objects in the area of the print head is therefore of particular importance, since from thinnest objects (quasi single sheet) to thick letters, a wide range of shipping objects with different mechanical properties - for example due to the bending behavior - and to be printed or franked in various formats, During the entire printing phase, the distance between the object surface to be printed and the nozzle mouth level of the inkjet printhead must be constant. In addition, conditions must be created that ensure a robust design, reliability and low-maintenance construction
- the conveyor has two drive-connected drive rollers forming a conveying section with the guide part, which, viewed in the conveying direction, are arranged in front of and behind the printhead and that, opposite each other, a counter-pressure roller which exerts a pressure and can be reversibly raised against a drive roller or a transport object transported therebetween is arranged
- the description is mainly limited to the technical measures for printing the shipping objects during transport in the franking machine
- FIG. 1 Front view of the complete counter pressure mechanism, including
- FIG. 2 top view of counter pressure mechanism according to FIG. 1,
- FIG. 3 front view of the complete counter pressure mechanism in the franking position, counter pressure in the upper position
- FIG. 4 front view of the complete counter pressure mechanism in the service position
- Figure 7 Front view, thick letter has left the right roll, the right one
- Counter pressure roller automatically comes to the upper position, middle support roller remains at the original height level.
- the left counter pressure roller has taken over the height sensing and Figure 8 top view, drive rollers with feed gear.
- the letter is inserted manually into the franking machine in the starting position.
- Photocells start the franking process with an exact envelope position.
- the counter-pressure rollers which are in a lower position when the envelope is inserted, are moved upwards via control cams on the main shaft and press the mail item against the upper drive rollers.
- the letter transport resp. the franking process can now be triggered.
- the counter pressure consists of three counter pressure rollers. Two rollers are located under the right and left rollers. The third, middle role has the task of bringing the letter under the print heads to the required height level without pressing the letter against the end faces of the print heads, so that the printed image remains unsmeared. After franking, the counter pressure rollers move down again and open the gap for inserting a new envelope.
- control cams 1A, 1B and 2A, 2B which pivot the control levers 7A, 7B and 9A, 9B over the control rollers 29 about the axis 10, more or less depending on the necessary position or lower.
- the basic position of main shaft 3 is found by a microswitch 28 connected via control cam 27.
- the screw 31 is driven by the motor 31 and the main shaft is in the "insert letter” position, "Franking" or “Service position” rotated.
- the exact position is achieved by means of a fork light barrier 25 and the slotted disk 26 seated on the motor shaft by electronic control — by the number of pulses triggered.
- the counter pressure levers right and left 6A, 6B and 8A.8B are pivoted upward about the axis 10 by the tension springs 30 attached to the control levers 7A, 7B and 9A, 9B until the counter pressure rollers 13, 15 on the upper drive rollers 32, 33 issue.
- the control levers 7A, 7B and 9A, 9B reach their end positions via the control cams 1A, 1B and 2A, 2B, which has the consequence that the tension springs 36 are biased a little further.
- the secure support between the control rollers 29 and the control cams 1A, 1B and 2A, 2B is achieved by the tension springs 29 attached to the spring suspension rod 18.
- the rocker arm 22 seated on the axis of rotation of the support roller 14 is suspended in the axis 34 of the right counter-pressure rollers 13 and must forcibly move downwards when the right counter-pressure lever 6A, 6B is lowered and reaches the level of the right counter-pressure roller.
- the rocker arm 22 is rigidly supported on the stop 35 against the support roller carrier 21 by rotating to the left. To the right, the rocker arm 22 can turn away from the stop 35 against the force of the tension spring 36. This is necessary because of the mutual scanning between the right and left counter pressure roller and will be described in more detail later. Description of Figures 1 to 8:
- the counter pressure levers 6A, 6B; 8A, 8B are ready for inserting a single letter.
- the franking machine is activated via a reflex light barrier.
- the main shaft 3 rotates clockwise by about 1/3 of a turn.
- the control levers 7, 9 are pivoted upwards via the control rollers 29 by the control cams 1, 2.
- the counter pressure levers are also moved upwards via the tension springs 30 until the counter pressure rollers 13, 15 rest against the drive rollers 32, 33.
- the control levers move a little further until the control curve has reached its peak.
- the possible overstroke of the control levers is compensated for by the spring-loaded coupling of the counter pressure levers.
- the support roller 14 has been adjusted to the same level via the rocker arm 22.
- the letter is now jammed between the drive rollers and the counter pressure rollers.
- the drive motor 40 (see FIG. 8) drives the drive rollers 31, 33 via the gear 41 and moves the letter from right to left.
- the speed and position are detected via the incremental encoder 42 and the feeler wheel 38.
- the feeler wheel is driven by friction from the moving envelope and thus detects the exact speed of the letter surface.
- the letter is printed on dssTastrad via a separate counterprint, which will be described separately later.
- the inkjet print heads spray corresponding patterns from cell to cell, which in turn lead to the desired print image.
- the guide part 39 holds the letter at an exact distance from the face of the print head in order to be able to obtain a clean printed image with regard to resolution and also to prevent the printed lines from being smeared when the envelope is moved.
- the drive motor switches off and the main shaft turns back to its basic position, the counterpressure levers return to their starting position. A new letter can be inserted.
- the main shaft 3 rotates between the position "Insert” and “franking” always only about 1/3 turn forwards or backwards, which brings a considerable time advantage and also protects the mechanics.
- the counter pressure rollers After another 1/3 turn, the counter pressure rollers have reached their absolutely lowest position, as is necessary in the service position (see Figure 4). Back to the basic position "insertion" again only 1/3 turn is required.
- the thick letter is also moved under the left drive roller.
- the left counter pressure lever also had to move downwards against spring force and assumed the same level as the right counter pressure roller or the middle support roller.
- the stop 37 of the left ken counterpressure lever has made contact with the push arm of the support roller support 21.
