Definitions
- the invention relates to a franking machine with at least one print head Inkjet printing unit for printing on insertable or continuous flat Shipping objects such as letters or postcards, consisting of one around the print head and arranged above the nozzle orifice plane Guide part, which one the shipping objects between themselves and opposite, conveyor rollers rotating about axes arranged transversely to the conveying direction is assigned to the conveying device transporting objects, the Conveyor device two drive-connected with the guide part forming a conveyor line Has drive rollers, viewed in the conveying direction in front and behind the printhead are arranged and that one opposite each other a driving role resp. a shipping object transported in between a print exercising, reversibly raised counter pressure roller is arranged.
- a postage meter is in US-A-5 166 883 disclosed.
- Inkjet or inkjet printheads have long been known and in particular are used in PC printers.
- Insights gained cannot apply to the field of application here Franking machines are transmitted.
- the reasons include in high speed the letters to be franked, their different formats and Thicknesses, as well as the significantly rougher environmental conditions, due to partly dirty surfaces of the shipping objects. They also have to Franking imprints often meet strict post office quality requirements high design effort and reliability required.
- US 5'440'979 A1 relates to a franking machine for canceling postage stamps and for printing information on an envelope.
- This franking machine has a conveyor system with two revolving conveyor belts, between which the depths in the lower edge area are recorded and transported vertically. So that there is a sufficient frictional connection between the working strands of the conveyor belts and the envelopes, freely rotatable rollers which press on the conveyor belts are provided behind and in front of the conveyor system.
- a scanning wheel of an encoder which is connected to the conveyor belt for speed monitoring of the conveyor system, is provided.
- the front edge of the envelope triggers the printing process of the print heads over time.
- the sensor that detects the front edge of the envelope sends a signal to a computer, from which control signals for triggering the pressure are sent to the print heads via a control panel.
- the computer Based on the input from the sensor, the computer determines the position at which point the envelope is to be printed and also determines which of the print heads is to be activated for printing in the specific position.
- the present invention has for its object in a franking machine to ensure that the printing unit when franking shipping objects such as letters, cards or the like with different thicknesses, different formats and materials a trouble-free printing and a clearly identifiable Print image allowed. Because nowadays such machines enable high throughputs fully automatic operation is also required. Because from the thinnest objects (quasi single sheet) to thick letters a wide one Occurrence of shipping objects with different mechanical properties - for example, due to the bending behavior - and in a wide variety of formats to be printed or franked must be done during the entire printing phase the printing process with the throughput speed resp. that of the shipping object distance traveled must be coordinated or controlled. In addition, conditions must be created that are highly reliable and Ensure low-maintenance construction.
- this object is achieved in that for speed and position monitoring of a transported shipping object or.
- a feeler wheel driven by the passing shipping object and assigned to an encoder device is arranged. This means that simple means can be used to achieve a high level of precision when printing on the shipping objects.
- the letter In the case of single letter franking, the letter is inserted manually into the franking machine. Photocells start the franking process with an exact envelope position.
- the counterpressure rollers which are in a lower position when the envelope is inserted, are moved upwards via control cams of the main shaft and press the mail item against the upper drive rollers.
- the letter transport resp. the franking process is triggered.
- the counter pressure consists of two counter pressure rollers and an intermediate support roller.
- the counter pressure rollers are located under the right and left drive rollers.
- the support roller has the task of keeping the letter under the print heads at the required height level without pressing the letter against the end faces of the print heads, so that the printed image remains unsmeared.
- the counter-pressure rollers and the support roller move down again and open the gap for inserting a new envelope.
- a plurality of control cams 1A, 1B and 2A, 2B are arranged on the main shaft 3, the control levers 7A, 7B and 9A, 9B via the control rollers 29 about the axis 10 pivoting, raise or lower more or less depending on the required position.
- the basic position of the main shaft 3 is via a control cam 27 switched microswitch 28 found.
- the worm gear is driven by the motor 31 23/24 driven and the main shaft in the "insert letter" positions, "Franking" or “Service” turned. The exact position is determined by a Fork light barrier 25 and the slotted disc 26 on the motor shaft per electronic control achieved.
- the right and left counter pressure levers 6A, 6B and 8A, 8B are by those attached to the control levers 7A, 6B and 9A, 9B
- Tension springs 30 pivoted upwards about the axis 10 until the counter pressure rollers 13, 15 rest on the upper drive rollers 32, 33.
- the control levers 7A, 7B and 9A, 9B reach their end positions via the control cams 1A, 1B and 2A, 2B, which leads to The consequence is that the tension springs 36 are biased a little further.
- the secure support between the control rollers 29 and the control curves 1A, 1B and 2A, 2B is supported by the tension springs 29 attached to the spring suspension rod 18 reached.
- the rocker arm 22 seated on the axis of rotation of support roller 14 is in axis 34 the right counter pressure rollers 13 hooked in and must be when lowering the right counter pressure lever 6A, 6B forcibly move down with and reaches the level of the right counter pressure roller.
- the rocker arm 22 is supported from the stop 35 against the support roller carrier 21 from left turning rigid.
- the rocker arm 22 can rotate clockwise against the force of the tension spring 36 turn away from the stop 35. This is because of the mutual scanning between right and left counter pressure roller required and will be more precise later described.
- the counterpressure levers are ready for inserting a single letter in the basic position. As soon as the letter is in its exact rear and right position on the table stop, the franking machine is activated via a reflex light barrier. First, the main shaft 3 rotates clockwise by about 1/3 of a turn. The control levers 7, 9 are pivoted upward 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 lever is compensated for by the spring-loaded coupling of the counter pressure lever.
- the support roller 14 has adjusted itself to the same level via the rocker arm 22.
- the letter is now clamped between the drive rollers and the counter pressure rollers.
- the drive motor 40 (see FIG. 8) drives the drive rollers 31, 33 via the transmission 41 and moves the letter from right to left.
- the speed and position are detected by 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 surface of the letter.
- the letter is pressed onto the feeler wheel via a separate counterpressure, 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.
- Guide part 39 holds the letter at an exact distance from the print head face side 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 40 switches off and the main shaft 3 rotates back into its basic position, the counterpressure levers 6A, 6B; 8A, 8B return to their starting position. A new letter can be inserted.
- the main shaft 3 rotates between the "insert” and "franking” positions only about 1/3 turn back and forth, 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 "insert" again only 1/3 turn is required.
- the thick letter is also below the left Drive roller 15 driven.
- the left counter pressure lever had to be against spring force also move down and has the same height level as the right one Counter pressure roller or the middle support roller assumed.
- the stop 37 of the the left counter pressure lever has contact with the push arm of the support roller support 21 added.
- position monitoring is carried out via a separate one Touch wheel that drives an encoder disc directly.
- the encoder disc or that The feeler wheel is exactly between the drive rollers, on the middle of the two print heads arranged.
- the signals are evaluated via an encoder.
- the exact one The starting position when inserting the letter manually is from a reflex light barrier supplied, which detects the position of the right edge of the letter. With automatic This zero point signal is fed by a fork light barrier from the letter feeder peripheral automatic feeder supplied. From this start signal onwards Touch the feeler wheel for the exact position of the letter.
- the Tatrad when the zero point is triggered has not yet reached and therefore cannot drive, this must be done for a short Distance via the driven button counterpressure.
- the proof of the driven counter pressure roller to the feeler wheel or the left drive roller via the cam-controlled mechanism of the remaining counter pressure levers or rollers.
- the speed of the is controlled by two friction wheels and several intermediate wheels transfer left drive roller to the feeler wheel.
- the left and right drive rollers are firmly coupled via a spur gear, so that the speed of the letter driven by the right roll at the speed of the left drive roll to match. Small differences don't matter here, there are still printing has not started.
- the speed of the driven back pressure no longer matters.
- the feeler wheel becomes the same speed due to the friction between the letter surface and the feeler wheel circumference driven.
- the counter pressure wheel that previously acted as a friction wheel drive now only has a pressing function, since the envelope is between the friction partners pushed.
- the begins Printing process in the designated letter position According to the respective Envelope position, the print heads line-by-line patterns that correspond to the corresponding one Guide overall print image. After a certain distance that leaves Envelopes the right drive roller and is only left of the left drive roller emotional.
- the feeler wheel scans the speed until the end of the letter. Around 10 mm before the end of the envelope the printing is finished.
- the counter pressure lever 101 of the driven incremental encoder is on the to Side wall riveted axis of rotation 102 pivoted.
- the up and down movement of the counterpressure lever takes place in connection with the remaining counterpressure levers. This function is described separately.
- the counter pressure lever 101 will over the riveted stop bolt 103 and through the stop edge 104 of the Control lever 105 moves up and down.
- the overstroke of the control lever is by The contact of the friction wheel 108 on the feeler wheel 119 is balanced by the tension spring 116.
- the friction wheel 108 is rotatably supported on the riveted axis of rotation 131.
- About two Linking tabs 106, 107 are the left back pressure lever 120 and the back pressure lever 101 rotatably connected with each other and guarantee for the connecting gear constant center distances with simultaneous degree of freedom of rotation.
- the Friction wheel 109 which sits on the same axis 117 as the counter-pressure roller 114 driven by the left drive roller 113 (friction pairing 125). Over the spur wheels 112, 111, 110, the friction wheel 108 is driven at the same speed (friction pairing 126).
- the counter pressure levers are raised so far up until the corresponding counter pressure rollers on the drive rollers or the feeler wheel.
- the feeler wheel is driven up to the Time at which the envelope arrives between friction wheel 108 and feeler wheel 119 through the gear chain from the left drive roller via friction and idler gears to the feeler wheel.
- the scanning surface of the feeler wheel (Shell surface) can be roughened, knurled to increase grip or the like.
- the driven counter pressure of the incremental encoder also has the advantage that the feeler wheel does not have to be accelerated by the letter arriving from the feeding. This point is not important for manual feeding, since all rotating parts are accelerated from standstill at the same time.
- the feeler wheel 119 sits together with the encoder slotted disk 121 on the axis 123, which is supported by means of two precision ball bearings.
- the encoder 122 samples the signals and passes them on to the control electronics.
- the quality of the scanning of the letter speed and the position is of enormous importance for the print quality.
- the chronological sequence of the spraying of the line-by-line printing pattern occurs depending on the letter speed and thus the letter position.

Description
Diese Frankiermaschine weist ein Fördersystem mit zwei umlaufenden Transportbändern auf, zwischen denen die Biefe im unteren Randbereich erfasst und senkrecht stehend transportiert werden. Damit ein ausreichender Reibungsschluss zwischen den Arbeitstrums der Transportbänder und den Umschlägen entsteht, sind hinter und vor dem Fördersystem auf die Transportbänder drückende, frei drehbare Rollen vorgesehen. Auf dem Förderweg sind zwischen einer letzten hinteren Rolle und einer vorderen Rolle Lichtleiter resp. Glasfasersensoren montiert, an die ein Druckwerk mit auf die Rückseite der Förderbänder einwirkenden Führungsleisten anschliesst. In Förderrichtung vor dem Sensor ist ein mit dem Förderband antriebsverbundenes Tastrad eines Encoders zur Geschwindigkeitsüberwachung des Fördersystems vorgesehen. Die Vorderkante des Briefumschlages löst über die Zeit den Druckvorgang der Druckköpfe aus. Der die Vorderkante des Briefumschlages erfassende Sensor schickt ein Signal an einen Rechner, von dem aus über einen Steuerpanel Steuersignale zur Auslösung des Druckes an die Druckköpfe geleitet werden. Der Rechner bestimmt aufgrund des Inputs des Sensors die Position, an welcher Stelle der Briefumschlag zu bedrucken ist und bestimmt weiterhin, weicher der Druckköpfe zum Druck in der bestimmten Position zu aktivieren ist.
Damit lässt sich mit einfachen Mitteln eine hohe Präzision beim Bedrucken der Versandobjekte erzielen.
Zum besseren Verständnis wird dabei auf die Bezugszeichen und Figuren, in denen Ausführungsformen der Erfindung dargestellt sind, Bezug genommen.

Der Gegendruck besteht aus zwei Gegendruckrollen und einer dazwischenliegenden Stützrolle. Die Gegendruckrollen liegen unter den rechten und linken Antriebswalzen. Die Stützrolle hat die Aufgabe, den Brief unter den Druckköpfen auf dem erforderlichen Höhenniveau zu halten, ohne den Brief gegen die Stimflächen der Drucköpfe zu drücken, damit das Druckbild unverschmiert bleibt. Nach dem Frankieren bewegen sich die Gegendruckrollen und die Stützrolle wieder nach unten und geben den Spalt für das Einlegen eines neuen Kuverts frei.
Die Gegendruckhebel sind in der Grundstellung zum Einlegen eines Einzelbriefes bereit. Sobald der Brief in seiner exakten hinteren und rechts am Tischanschlag angelegten Position ist, wird über eine Reflexlichtschranke die Frankiermaschine aktiviert. Zuerst dreht sich die Hauptwelle 3 um ca. 1/3 Umdrehung im Uhrzeigersinn. Die Steuerhebel 7, 9 werden über die Steuerrollen 29 durch die Steuerkurven 1, 2 nach oben geschwenkt. Die Gegendruckhebel werden über die Zugfedern 30 ebenfalls nach oben mitgewegt, bis die Gegendruckrollen 13, 15 an den Antriebswalzen 32, 33 anliegen. Die Steuerhebel bewegen sich noch etwas weiter, bis die Steuerkurve ihren Höchstpunkt erreicht hat. Der mögliche Überhub der Steuerhebel wird durch die gefederte Ankopplung der Gegendruckhebel ausgeglichen. Die Stützrolle 14 hat sich über den Schlepphebel 22 auf dasselbe Niveau eingestellt. Der Brief ist nun zwischen den Antriebsrollen und den Gegendruckrollen eingeklemmt. Der Antriebsmotor 40 (siehe Figur 8) treibt über das Getriebe 41 die Antriebswalzen 31, 33 an und bewegt den Brief von rechts nach links. Die Geschwindigkeits- und Positionsdetektierung erfolgt über den Inkrementalgeber 42 und das Tastrad 38. DasTastrad wird über Reibung vom sich bewegenden Briefumschlag angetrieben und erfasst so die exakte Geschwindigkeit der Briefoberfläche. Der Andruck des Briefes an dasTastrad erfolgt über einen separaten Gegendruck, der später noch gesondert beschrieben ist. In Abhängigkeit von der Briefposition spritzen die Tintenstrahldruckköpfe zellenweise entsprechende Muster ab, die in Folge zu dem gewünschten Druckbild führen. Die Niederhalteplatte resp. Führungsteil 39 hält den Brief auf einen exakten Abstand zu der Druckkopfstimseite um bezüglich Auflösung ein sauberes Druckbild erhalten zu können und ausserdem zu verhindern, dass die gedruckten Zeilen bei der Bewegung des Kuverts verschmiert werden. Nach Beendigung des Frankiervorganges schaltet der Antriebsmotor 40 ab und die Hauptweile 3 dreht sich wieder in ihre Grundstellung zurück, die Gegendruckhebel 6A, 6B; 8A, 8B nehmen wieder ihre Ausgangsstellung ein. Ein neuer Brief kann eingelegt werden. Die Hauptwelle 3 dreht sich zwischen der Position "Einlegen" und "Frankieren" immer nur ca. 1/3 Umdrehung vor bzw. zurück, was einen erheblichen Zeitvorteil mit sich bringt und ausserdem die Mechanik schont. Nach einer weiteren 1/3 Umdrehung haben die Gegendruckrollen ihre absolut tiefste Position errecht, wie sie in der Serviceposition (siehe Figur 4) notwendig ist. Zurück in die Grundstellung "Einlegen" ist ebenfalls wieder nur 1/3 Umdrehung erforderlich.

Das Tastrad 119 sitzt zusammen mit der Encoderschlitzscheibe 121 auf der Achse 123, die mittels zweier Präzisionslaufkugellager gelagert ist. Der Encoder 122 tastet die Signale ab und gibt sie an die Steuerelektronik weiter. Die Qualität der Abtastung der Briefgeschwindigkeit und der Position ist für die Druckqualität von enormer Bedeutung. Die zeitliche Abfolge des Abspritzens der zeilenweisen Druckmuster geschieht in Abhängigkeit der Briefgeschwindigkeit und somit der Briefposition.
