Definitions

  • the invention relates to a franking machine with at least one print head having inkjet printing unit for printing insertable or continuous flat shipping objects such as letters or postcards from a protruding around the print head and opposite the nozzle orifice plane arranged guide part, the one the shipping objects between them and opposite, rotating about axes arranged transversely to the conveying direction
  • Conveyor rollers of a conveyor device transporting the shipping objects is assigned, wherein the conveyor two with the guide part of a conveyor line has forming drive rollers, the viewed in the conveying direction before and are stored behind the print heads, and opposite, against the drive rollers respectively.
  • a shipping object transported in between exerts pressure Counter pressure rollers are provided.
  • Such a franking machine is disclosed in US-A-5 166 883.
  • Inkjet or inkjet printheads have long been known and in particular are used in PC printers.
  • the one there when using such printheads 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, based on partly dirty surfaces of the shipping objects.
  • the franking imprints strict post office quality requirements meet what high Design effort and reliability required.
  • US 5,440,979 A1 relates to a franking machine for the cancellation of stamps and to print information on an envelope.
  • This franking machine has a conveyor system with two rotating conveyor belts on, between which the bid is recorded in the lower edge area and vertically be transported upright. Light guides are on the further path respectively. Glass fiber sensors installed, to which a printing unit connects.
  • the Printing unit consists of two with vertical spacing one above the other and in one acute angles to each other. Moreover, these are Printheads (only) attached together adjustable and one of them for cancellation the stamps and the other are intended for printing a specific text.
  • the front edge of an envelope triggers the printing process over time individual printheads.
  • the one that grips the front edge of the envelope Sensor sends a signal to a computer, from which a control panel Control signals are sent to the printheads.
  • the calculator determines based on the input of the sensor the position at which point to print the envelope is and also determines which of the print heads for printing in the specific position is to be activated.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a franking machine with an inkjet printing unit that allows trouble-free printing and a clearly identifiable print image when franking shipping objects such as letters, cards or the like.
  • conditions must be created that ensure high reliability and low-maintenance construction.
  • the printing unit at least has two printheads that have a common nozzle orifice plane form that the printheads viewed at the nozzle orifice level respectively rectangular, at an acute angle to the conveying direction of the shipping objects and are mutually partially offset.
  • 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 drives the drive rollers 32, 33 via the transmission 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 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 a precise distance from the face of the print head in order to be able to obtain a clean print 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.
  • the inkjet printheads are fixed on an adjustment module. Using this mechanism, the print heads can be precisely adjusted to each other so that the start pixel of one head exactly matches the end pixel of the second head and so there are no print image gaps.
  • the printheads are connected to an easily replaceable ink bag container via tubes. When commissioning for the first time, the ink must be sucked out of the ink bag and the print heads flooded.
  • the franking machine described here is used to implement the required Print image height and the resolution required two inkjet printheads.
  • the print heads are against each other at depth added. This means that the top half of the print image is from the rear print head and the lower half is generated by the front printhead.
  • the pixel rows of the two must Printheads can be adjusted against each other.
  • the printheads are also arranged obliquely in the plan view, since the effective The distance between the individual pressure nozzles is smaller and thus a higher resolution of the Print image is possible.
  • One printhead is rigidly mounted, while the second printhead shifted or finely adjusted along the row of nozzles relative to the rigid print head can be.
  • the printhead adjustment module is also the one already described Hold-down plate resp. Guide part stored.
  • the print head unit is designed as a separate module. i.e. the assembly is possible as a complete subassembly and the printheads before installation can be finely adjusted.
  • the rigid print head carrier plate is on the carrier plate 314 305 and the head plate 313 mounted.
  • the front print head 301A is positioned precisely using the slugs 312 and small embossments on the clamping plate 303 pressed against the print head carrier plate 305.
  • the tensioning takes place over the tension screw 310 and the press nut 311.
  • the adjustable print head support plate 304 sits in the print head carrier Depth displaceable and is through the press-in threaded bushes 322 and Led collar screws 309.
  • the collar screws 309 press the adjustable Printhead support plate 304 over spring washers 308 and washers 302 to the contact surface.
  • the adjustable print head carrier plate can be locked against shift the friction of this contact pressure.
  • the rear print head is 301 B. positioned and held like the front one.
  • the adjustable print head carrier plate 304 has a fold on the front side, into which a threaded bushing is pressed. On this threaded bushing are a spring washer 307 and the spacer sleeve 323 applied.
  • the spring assembly clamps between the bent angles of the rigid and adjustable print head carrier plates.
  • the adjustable print head carrier plate is adjusted using the adjusting screw 306. When the set screw is tightened, the rear print head moves with the print head carrier plate Forward.
  • the unit moves under the spring force of the spring assembly 307 to the rear. By preloading the spring assembly any game canceled.
  • the rear print head 301B is thus set. that the foremost ink jet nozzle matches the rearmost of the front print head or has exactly one pixel spacing.
  • the adjustable part is fixed with the locking screw 321, so that it can no longer adjust.
  • There are two more in the top plate 313 Column guide bushes 315, which the columns 316 of the hold-down plate, respectively. guide part 317 lead.
  • Guide part 317 is on the Lifting eccentric 320 moves up and down.
  • the compression springs 318 raise the lifting plate 319 free of play upwards.
