Definitions

  • the invention relates to a printing device with at least one transfer roller which can be coated on its roller surface at least partially with coating material, for example a toner, the coating material being able to be applied directly or indirectly to a carrier surface of a transfer element.
  • coating material for example a toner
  • the invention also relates to a printing method in which a coating is applied to a workpiece with the aid of a transmission element.
  • BESTATIGUNGSKOPIE be moistened.
  • the paper which serves as a transfer element, can then be peeled off, with the rubber-ariaabi layer and the colored coating applied thereon adhering to the workpiece.
  • the transmission element has an expansion element which forms the support surface and that the support surface is expandable by means of an expansion device.
  • 3D-shaped glass ceramic cooktops with, for example, lower-lying cooking areas or deformed higher-level operating areas, as well as curved glass-ceramic fireplace viewing panels, 3D-shaped ceramic parts, such as tableware, such as Print on plates and bowls and 3D-shaped plastic surfaces.
  • the transmission element is designed as an endlessly circulating band which is equipped with expansion elements at least in regions along its longitudinal extension or which is itself designed as an expansion element.
  • the endless belt enables a continuous, economical coating of workpieces. It can in particular be provided that the transmission element is designed as a rubber band.
  • the stamp surface of the stamp is formed by an elastic, resilient material.
  • the support surface of the expansion element is provided with a silicone coating or is formed by a silicone rubber. Such a surface design prevents coating material from sticking to the support surface after the printing process.
  • the printing method can be designed in such a way that the transfer element rotating as an endless belt is guided past the stretching device and that the endless belt is stopped during the stretching of the carrier surface and the execution of the printing process , At the same time as the endless belt is clocked, the conveyor belt must also be stopped.
  • a continuous manufacturing process can be achieved if it is provided that the transmission element rotating as an endless belt can be guided past the stretching device, that during the stretching of the support surface and the Carrying out the printing process, the stretching device and at the same time the workpiece are carried along with the endless belt.
  • a preferred embodiment variant of the invention is characterized in that the stretching device is assigned a corona which effects or supports the transfer of the coating material to the printing surface of the workpiece to be printed.
  • the drawing shows a schematic representation of a printing device to which workpieces 11 are continuously fed by a transport device 10.
  • the workpieces 11 are in the present case in the form of plates which have an upwardly facing pressure surface 12.
  • This printing area 12 is to be printed with the printing device described in more detail below.
  • the workpieces 11 can also be other workpieces made of glass, glass ceramic or plastic, which have already been described above.
  • the printing device has a first transfer roller 24 which can be electrostatically charged in a known manner and then coated with toner particles 27 of a toner 26.
  • the toner 26 is held in a storage container 25.
  • black-colored toner 26 is stored in the storage container 25.
  • three further transfer rollers 28 are provided. Further transfer containers 29 are assigned to these transfer rollers 28. Colored toners are filled in the individual storage containers 29.
  • the transfer rollers 28 can be coated with this colored toner.
  • a transfer device 20 is arranged below the transfer rollers 24 and 28.
  • the transmission device 20 has an endless belt designed as an expansion element 22. In the present case, this endless belt 22 is designed as a rubber belt.
  • the rubber band 22 is deflected via two transport rollers 21 which are held at a distance from one another.
  • the left of the two transport rollers 21 is driven by a motor, not shown in the drawing. Accordingly, the rubber band forms an upper run 22.1 and a lower run 22.1.
  • a tensioning unit 40 is also assigned to the left transport roller 21. By means of this clamping unit 40, the
  • Rubber band 22 are biased.
  • the right transport roller 21 is assigned a cleaning device 23, the operation of which will be explained below.
  • a stretching device 30 is arranged between the two transport rollers 21 and between the run-in and run-out runs 22.2 and 22.1.
  • the stretching device 30 has a drive 31 which moves a plunger 32 linearly.
  • the plunger 32 carries a stamp 33 at its end facing away from the drive 31.
  • the stamp 33 has a stamp surface 34 facing downwards.
  • the stamp surface 34 is designed to be adapted to the pressure surface 12 of the workpiece 11 and is curved accordingly.
  • the transfer roller 24 is coated with the toner particles 27.
  • the transfer rollers 28 are coated with colored toner particles.
  • the transfer rollers 24 and 28 rotate clockwise.
  • the run-up strand 22.2 is passed from right to left past the transfer rollers 24 and 28. guided.
  • the rotational speed of the rubber band 22 and the surface of the transfer rollers 24 and 28 are coordinated.
  • Corones 35 are used to transfer the color particles 27.
  • the ink particles 27 are transported on the rubber band 22 past the left transport roller 21 and then reach the area of the run-off strand 22.1.
  • the transport roller 21 is stopped. Then the punch 33 can be moved in the direction of the workpieces 11 by means of the drive 31.
  • the elastic band 22 expands and lies against the stamp surface 34.
  • the stamp 33 then presses the rubber band 22 onto the pressure surface 12.
  • the stamp 33 can at the same time also be provided with a heating device which fixes the ink particles 27 on the workpiece surface.
  • the stamp 33 is moved back into its upper starting position.
  • the rubber band 22 can then be rotated further, for which purpose the transport roller 21 is rotated.
  • the transport device 10 also moves and places the next workpiece 11 under the stretching device 30.
  • the workpiece 11 provided with the pressure 13 is transported out of the effective range of the printing device.
  • the cleaning device 23 is used.
  • the cleaning device 23 can be, for example, a heated roller that is on the rubber band 22 rolls.
  • the heated roller is in turn associated with a brush that removes the toner particles 27.
  • the rubber band 22 can also be provided with a silicone coating on its carrier surface. It is also conceivable to apply a layer of silicone rubber to the rubber band 22.
