Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device and a method for transfer printing an electrostatically charged toner image from an intermediate carrier of an electrographic printer or copier onto a record carrier and fixing the transfer printed toner image on the record carrier.
- transfer printing In electrographic printers or copiers, the transfer of a toner image from an intermediate carrier, for example a photoconductor drum or a photoconductor tape, to a recording medium is referred to as transfer printing.
- the section of the printer or copier at which the intermediate carrier and the recording medium are brought into contact with one another is referred to as the transfer printing area.
- the intermediate carrier moves in the transfer printing area, i.e. e.g. the surface of a photoconductor drum and the recording medium at the same speed in the same direction, while the toner is transferred from the intermediate carrier to the recording medium.
- a high quality print image on the record carrier can only be achieved if a uniform contact is made between the record carrier and the intermediate carrier in the transfer printing area and if the record carrier and the intermediate carrier actually move at the exact same speed in the transfer printing area.
- the recording media are transported with transport rollers into the transfer printing area and sprayed with a charge on the side facing away from the intermediate carrier, the sign of which is opposite to the charge on the toner image and the intermediate carrier.
- the recording medium is attracted to the intermediate carrier and, adhering to it, is transported through the transfer printing area Charging the recording medium the transfer of the charged toner particles from the intermediate carrier to the recording medium.
- the recording medium is then unloaded with the aid of a discharge device, so that it detaches from the intermediate carrier, and transported to a fixing device.
- a transfer printing device of this type is known from WO 98/58297
- This transfer printing device has a pressure element for pressing the record carrier onto the intermediate carrier.
- a printer with two identical printing units is known, to which recording media are fed via an input section.
- the printed recording media are output via a common output section.
- a discharge channel is assigned to one printing unit, via which a recording medium, which was printed on one side by this printing unit, can be fed to this printing unit again for printing on the rear side.
- a recording medium printed by the other printing unit can be removed via the discharge channel, bypassing the transfer printing path of the former printing unit, to the output section.
- the fixing rollers When the recording medium enters the roller contact area, the fixing rollers perform additional flexing work, as a result of which the recording medium is braked briefly, that is to say it experiences a sudden impact that is opposite to the transport direction.
- the distance between the fixing rollers and the transfer printing area is often less than the length of the longest recording medium to be printed.
- the "length" of the recording medium in the following always means the expansion of the recording medium in the transport direction , ie the length of the edges of the recording medium, which are arranged parallel to the transport path. In the case of a rectangular recording medium, these need not necessarily be the "longitudinal edges", but can also be the transverse edges thereof, namely if they are printed in landscape format.
- the invention has for its object to provide a device and a method of the type mentioned, with which a high quality print image is generated with a compact design.
- a compact design of the device inevitably leads to a small distance between the conveyor belt and the fixing device. Due to the spatial proximity, the conveyor belt is also heated by the heat required for fixing, whereby it can be deformed and its function can be impaired. In addition, when the conveyor belt is heated, there is a risk that the toner on it will start to melt and adhere to the conveyor belt.
- the guided transport section is arranged in a transport unit and the fixing device in a fixing unit, which can be inserted into and removed from the printer or copier independently of one another. Due to the structural separation of the two units, no heat can be transferred via common components, for example circuit boards.
- the fixing unit preferably has a wall which is designed as a hollow chamber profile and offers good thermal insulation.
- the hollow chamber profile has openings through which air is sucked out to cool the transport unit.
- the recording medium is placed on an electrostatically chargeable trans- overlying the conveyor belt and adhered to it by electrostatic forces, transported through the transfer printing area and along an adjoining, guided transport section and conveyed to a fixing device in which the Record carrier is guided again.
- a “free transport section” denotes a transport section on which the recording medium can bulge freely, that is to say can form a wave or a hump, as a result of which the distance between its front and rear edges is shortened.
- the further developed device or method thus effectively prevent blurring of the printed image.
- an electrostatically chargeable conveyor belt stronger adhesion can be achieved than with a suction table, so that the section of the recording medium located in the guided transport section cannot be braked so easily by the impact.
- the shock can be absorbed by the possibility of wave formation in the free transport section.
- the conveyor belt preferably has a volume resistivity of between 10 11 and 10 15 ⁇ cm.
- the conveyor belt essentially consists of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF).
- the guided transport section must be long enough to ensure a sufficiently secure guidance, which prevents the printed image from blurring in the transfer printing area.
- the length Li of the guided transport section is preferably between 100 and 210 mm.
- the length L 2 of the free transport section must be large enough that a shaft with a curvature that is not too small can form to cushion the impact.
- L 2 is preferably at least 1/3 of the length of the shortest record carrier to be printed. A good wave formation results with a length of L 2 between 80 and 130 mm.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of the components of an electrographic printer or copier involved in image formation with a conventional device for transfer printing Toner image from an intermediate carrier on a recording medium and fixing the re-printed toner image on the recording medium,
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic illustration of a recording medium when two fixing rollers penetrate into the roller contact area
- FIG. 3 shows the device for transfer printing and fixing of FIG. 1 in the case of a recording medium with low rigidity
- FIG. 4 shows the device of FIG. 3 with a record carrier with high rigidity
- FIG. 5 shows a schematic illustration of the components of an electrographic printer or copier involved in the image generation with a device for transfer printing of a toner image from an intermediate carrier onto a recording medium and fixing the transfer printed toner image on the recording medium according to a development of the invention
- Fig. 6 shows the device for transfer printing and fixing of Fig. 5 with a recording medium with high rigidity
- Fig. 7 is a sectional view of a transport assembly and a fixing assembly.
- a photoconductor drum 10 is shown in cross section, the peripheral surface of which is coated with a photo semiconductor, for example arsenic triselenide (As 2 Se 3 ).
- a photo semiconductor for example arsenic triselenide (As 2 Se 3 ).
- As 2 Se 3 arsenic triselenide
- the photoconductor drum 10 rotates in the direction indicated by the arrow 12.
- Her photo semiconductor layer is first electrostatically charged with the help of a so-called charging corotron 14.
- the charged section reaches a character generator 16 with a light source 18 (an LED comb in FIG. 1) with which the photoconductor drum 10 is exposed.
- the electrical resistance of the photo semiconductor layer drops and the charge flows off. In this way, pixels of a latent charge image are generated on the photoconductor drum.
- the latent charge image arrives at a developer station 20, from which triboelectrically charged toner with the aid of a suitable electric field is transferred from a developer roller 22 to the exposed (so-called “dark writing") or unexposed areas of the photo semiconductor (so-called "writing") ) is transmitted.
- the charge image on the photoconductor drum 10 is colored with toner, i.e. developed.
- the toner image is then transferred to a recording medium, for example a sheet of paper 24. Therefore, the photoconductor drum 10 is generally referred to as an intermediate carrier.
- the sheet 24 is transported by means of transport rollers 26 into the transfer printing area 28.
- the transfer area is the section at which the photoconductor drum 10 and the sheet 24 come into contact with one another and the toner image is transferred to the sheet 24.
- the conventional device for transferring the toner image from the photoconductor drum 10 to the sheet 24 shown in FIG. 1 the latter is sprayed with the help of a so-called transfer coronron 30 on its underside with charge which is opposite to the charging of the toner.
- the sheet 24 adheres to the photoconductor drum 10, and the toner is transferred to the sheet 24 by the electrostatic attraction.
- the sheet 24 is then discharged again using an AC corotron 32 so that the electrostatic holding forces disappear, and the sheet 24 shears off the photoconductor drum 10 due to its rigidity.
- the printed sheet 24 is then transported into a fixing device 36 via a suction table 34. Any toner remaining on the photoconductor drum 10 after transfer printing is removed by a cleaning unit 50.
- the fixing device 36 has two rollers, a heated fixing roller 38 and a pressure roller 40, which presses against the fixing roller 38 and forms a roller contact area 44 with it.
- the rollers 38 and 40 rotate in a direction indicated by arrows 42 at a peripheral speed V f .
- the sheet 24 is guided for fixing along the transport path 46 through the roller contact area 44. All components involved in transfer printing and fixing are accommodated in a common structural unit 48.
- 1 is so compact that the distance between transfer printing area 28 and fixing device 36 is less than the length of the longest recording medium to be printed. This means that the front edge of such a recording medium already penetrates into the roller contact area 44, while an inner section of the same is still being printed in the transfer printing area 28.
- 2 shows the fixing device 36, in which the front edge of a recording medium 24 penetrates into the roller contact area 44 formed by the fixing roller 38 and the pressure roller 40. As can be seen in FIG. 2, the rollers 38 and 40 are deformed. The front edge of the sheet 24 is briefly braked when it enters the roller contact area 44 and experiences an impact with an impact force F s . The impact force F s is opposite to the direction of movement of the blade 24 and is shown in FIG. 2 by a force arrow.
- FIG. 3 For the sake of clarity, only those components of the conventional arrangement of FIG. 1 that are involved in transfer printing and fixing are shown in FIG. 3.
- a sheet 24 ' is also shown, the front edge of which just penetrates into the roller contact area 44 of the rollers 38 and 40 and thus experiences the impact force F s just described, while a rear portion of the sheet 24' is still in the transfer printing area 28 ,
- the impact force F s leads to the formation of a shaft 52 in the sheet 24 '.
- “wave” means a curved section of the sheet 24 ′ which deviates from the transport route actually provided.
- the blade 24 'of FIG. 3 has a low stiffness so that only a small force is required to bend the blade into a shaft 52.
- the inclination of the blade 24 'when the shaft 52 is formed is sheared off the suction table 34 due to the low rigidity of the blade 24'.
- the suction force of the suction table 34 which is shown in FIG. 3 by the arrows pointing vertically downwards, is sufficient to prevent the blade 24 ′ from shearing off the suction table 34.
- FIG. 4 The same components are shown in FIG. 4 as in FIG. 3, except that a sheet 24 ′′ with a higher rigidity is transported therein. Due to the higher rigidity of the blade 24 ′′, no wave is formed in the illustration in FIG. 4, instead the blade 24 ′′ shears off the suction table 34. The sheet 24 ′′ is almost stretched, so that the impact force F s is transmitted into the transfer printing area 28, as a result of which the printed image is blurred.
- FIG. 5 shows an essentially identical arrangement of components involved in image generation as in FIG. 1, but in which a device for transfer printing and fixing according to a development of the invention is shown.
- the device has a conveyor belt 54 which is guided around a first roller 56, a second roller 58, a third roller 60 and an opening roller 62.
- the conveyor belt 54 is counter-clockwise by the first roller 56 in the representation of FIG. driven in a clockwise direction v 0 , which corresponds to the tangential speed of the lateral surface of the photoconductor drum 10.
- the third roller 60 is pretensioned with a spring 64 in such a way that it exerts a tension on the conveyor belt 54.
- the opening roller 62 is arranged between the first roller 56 and the transfer printing area 28 and extends the conveyor belt 54 to the outside relative to an alignment line 66 of the first and second rollers 56, 58.
- the positioning roller 62 ensures that the conveyor belt 54 is in close contact with the photoconductor drum 10, in which the conveyor belt wraps around the photoconductor drum in the transfer printing area, ie touches the outer surface of the photoconductor drum over a certain angular range.
- a cleaning device 68 is arranged below the conveyor belt 54.
- the cleaning device 68 has a blade 70, which is arranged transversely to the direction of travel of the conveyor belt 54 and adjoins the latter, and a toner collecting container 72 into which toner scraped off by the blade 70 from the conveyor belt 54 falls.
- a blade-like contact element 74 On the side of the conveyor belt 54 facing away from the photoconductor drum 10, there is a blade-like contact element 74 which is connected to a schematically illustrated voltage source 76 and serves to charge the conveyor belt 54.
- the conveyor belt 54 with the associated rollers 56, 58, 60 and 62, the cleaning device 68 and the contact blade 74 are structurally combined in a transport unit 78, which is shown in the schematic representation of FIG. 5 by a dashed frame.
- FIG. 5 shows a fixing device 36 which does not differ significantly from that of FIGS. 1, 3 and 4, but is accommodated in a structurally independent fixing unit 80, which is also shown schematically by a dashed frame is.
- a guide plate 82 also belongs to the fixing unit 80.
- a discharge device 84 is arranged above the first roller 56.
- the conveyor belt 54 is charged via the contact blade 74 to an electrostatic potential of a few kilovolts compared to a ground potential, the sign of the charge of the conveyor belt 54 being different from the sign of the charge of the toner image on the photoconductor drum 10.
- a recording medium 24 is conveyed onto the conveyor belt 54 in the region of the second roller 58 with the aid of transport rollers 26 and adheres to it electrostatically.
- the conveyor belt 54 wraps around the photoconductor drum 10 in a certain angular range and thereby makes a uniform contact between the sheet 24 resting on the conveyor belt 54 and adhering thereto and the photoconductor drum 10.
- the conveyor belt 54 has a volume resistivity between 10 11 and 10 15 ⁇ cm, so that it maintains sufficient electrostatic charging on the section between the first roller 56 and the transfer printing area 28 to hold the sheet 24 there by electrostatic forces.
- the transport path between the transfer printing area 28 and the first roller 56 is therefore called “guided transport section” in the following.
- Particularly good guidance results from a conveyor belt which essentially consists of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), has a volume resistivity of 8 x 10 12 ⁇ cm and a thickness of 150 ⁇ m.
- PVDF polyvinylidene fluoride
- the first roller 56 is an antistatic roller made of silicone with a specific volume resistance of 10 8 ⁇ cm and is therefore suitable for a large part of the load of the conveyor belt at the end of the guided transport section 54 to be deducted from this.
- the first roller 56 has a diameter of less than 28 mm, so that the conveyor belt 54 is relatively strongly curved thereon and the sheet 24 shears off slightly from the conveyor belt 54 guided around the first roller 56.
- the amount of the charge discharged on the roll-out roller can be influenced by its material, for example the choice between metal and plastic.
- the overprinted but not yet fixed toner is held on the sheet 24 by the electrostatic attraction of the transport belt 54.
- this attraction is absent and the similarly charged toner particles tend to repel one another and to adhere to conductive parts located in the vicinity and to contaminate them.
- the toner on the sheet 24 is discharged from the conveyor belt 54 by means of the unloading device 84 when the sheet 24 is sheared off.
- the sheet sheared by the conveyor belt 54 is guided via the guide plate 82 into the fixing unit 80 and fixed there. Apart from gravity, no forces act on the blade 24 between the first roller 56 and the roller contact area 44.
- This section is therefore called the free transport section below.
- the sheet 24 has the possibility of forming a shaft so as to absorb the impact force F s described.
- FIG. 6 is a snapshot in which the leading edge of a sheet 24 ′′ enters the roller contact area 44 penetrates while a rear portion of the sheet 24 '' is still printed in the transfer printing area 28.
- the sheet 24 ′′ is the same sheet as in FIG. 4, here the impact is not transmitted into the transfer area 28, but the sheet 24 ′′ remains adhering to the conveyor belt 54 in the guided transport section, while in the free transport section forms a shaft.
- the free transport section in which the shaft can form is significantly larger than the free section in the device of FIGS. 3 and 4, so that a flatter shaft can be formed which is less prone to shearing off the transport belt 54 than one more curved wave.
- the length of the guided transport section with Li and the length of the free transport section with L 2 designated.
- the aim is to achieve a certain minimum distance between the transfer area and the fixing device, ie a certain value for the sum of Li and L 2 .
- a large value for Li that is to say a longer transport section, has the advantage that the total holding force experienced by the sheet 24 ′′ is relatively large.
- a large value for L 2 has the advantage, however, that a flatter shaft can form, so that the shear forces are lower.
- the ideal compromise between Li and L 2 must be found.
- the length Li in FIG. 6 should be at least 1/3 the length of the shortest sheet to be printed. Length is the extent of the sheet in the direction of transport, which for a rectangular sheet can also correspond to the shorter side, namely if it is printed in landscape format.
- V f is preferably between 97% and 100% of the rotational speed v 0 of the conveyor belt 54.
- FIG. 7 shows the transport assembly 78 and the fixing assembly 80 in a sectional view.
- the use of two separate units has two major advantages.
- One relates to the assembly, which is significantly less expensive in the case of separate structural units. This is because the transport assembly 78 must be adjusted very precisely with respect to the photoconductor drum 10 in order to ensure a good transfer printing, while the fixing assembly 80 does not have to be installed with such accuracy. If the transport and fixing devices are combined in a common structural unit, as is the case with the structural unit 48 of FIG. 1, the entire structural unit must be installed with high precision in order to ensure high quality transfer printing. But since de the fixing device contains heavy components, the overall assembly 48 is much heavier and more unwieldy than the transport assembly 78 and therefore also much more difficult to install precisely.
- the second advantage is that the heat radiated by the fixing roller 38 does not heat the conveyor belt as much as would be the case if the conveyor belt 54 and the fixing device 36 were arranged in a common structural unit. This is of the utmost importance since the conveyor belt 54 is deformed by excessive heating and loses its functionality.
- the fuser assembly 80 has a housing 86 that holds the heat radiated from the fuser roller 38.
- the housing 86 On the side facing the transport unit 78, the housing 86 has walls 88 and 90 which are designed as hollow chamber profiles and therefore provide good thermal insulation.
- the hollow chamber profile 88 is vented with a blower (not shown) and has openings 92 through which air is drawn in to cool the transport unit.
- the air flow of the intake air is shown schematically by an arrow 94.
- the air extraction also serves to clean the transport unit from attached toner particles.
- the transport assembly 78 and the fixing assembly 80 can advantageously be designed as inserts.
- the air sucked into the hollow chamber profile is filtered with the aid of an ozone filter (not shown) before it is discharged into the environment.
- the blower (not shown) continues to run for about half an hour in the embodiment shown after the printer has been switched off.
