Definitions
- a sheet support element with suction holes is frequently used for supporting an image receiving sheet and at the same time ensuring that the sheet lies perfectly flat on the support element.
- a sheet e.g. a sheet of paper
- the sheet is held on the sheet support plate due to the subatmospheric pressure in the suction chamber which is connected to suction holes facing the bottom side of the sheet. A certain subatmospheric pressure is required to hold the sheet sufficiently flat on the support plate.
- this object is achieved by a sheet handling device of the type indicated above, wherein a flow obstructing material is arranged to obstruct an air flow from at least a subset of the suction holes into the suction chamber.
- the flow obstructing material may fill passages that run through the sheet support element and connect the suction holes to the suction chamber.
- the flow obstructing material may build one or more blocks that are arranged in the suction chamber to lie against apertures of the sheet support element which are connected to the suction holes.
- the invention can be used with a single compartment suction chamber, it does not suffer from the drastic pressure variations with varying media sheet widths, as is the case with conventional single compartment suction chambers. Furthermore, the present invention allows to use a single suction chamber for handling sheets the width of which may vary continuously or discretely within a wide range.
- the flow obstructing material is arranged in a region of the suction chamber where the suction holes of at least said subset are connected to the suction chamber.
- the flow obstructing material may be arranged in two blocks extending over lateral parts of the suction chamber, whereas a middle part of the suction chamber does not contain the flow obstructing material. This middle part will then have a width that is not larger than the width of the smallest sheets to be handled.
- the flow obstructing material is arranged to obstruct an air path between any two suction holes of at least said subset of suction holes.
- the subset of suction holes may comprise all suction holes within a certain area of the sheet support element.
- the flow obstructing material may completely cover a wall of the suction chamber containing apertures which are connected to the suction holes. In this embodiment, the airflow from the suctions holes to the suction device is also reduced when no sheet is present on the sheet support element.
- the flow obstructing material is arranged to provide obstructed air flow paths of different lengths between different suction holes and the suction device.
- the flow obstructing material may be provided, for example, as one or more blocks of varying thickness being arranged adjacent to apertures that are connected to the suction holes. Thereby, a certain amount of leak flow depending on the size of the area that is covered by a sheet can be provided by adapting the shape of the flow obstructing material.
- the sheet support element may be a plate that has at least one hollow space formed between a top wall defining the top surface of the plate and a bottom wall defining a bottom surface of the plate; wherein the suction holes pass through the top wall from the top surface to the hollow space, said hollow space being connected to the suction chamber; and wherein at least a part of the flow obstructing material fills at least a part of the hollow space.
- a plurality of hollow spaces may connect respective rows of suction holes and may be filled completely or partly by the flow obstructing material.
- a hot melt ink jet printer comprises a platen 10 which is intermittently driven to rotate in order to advance a sheet 12, e. g. a sheet of paper, in a direction indicated by an arrow A over the top surface of a sheet support plate 14.
- a number of transport rollers 16 are rotatably supported in a cover plate 18 and form a transport nip with the platen 10, so that the sheet 12, which is supplied from a reel (not shown) via a guide plate 20, is paid out through a gap formed between an edge of the cover plate 18 and the surface of the sheet support plate 14.
- a carriage 22 which includes a number of ink jet printheads (not shown) is mounted above the sheet support plate 14 so as to reciprocate in the direction of arrows B across the sheet 12.
- a number of pixel lines are printed on the sheet 12 by means of the printheads which eject droplets of hot melt ink onto the sheet in accordance with image information supplied to the printheads.
- guide and drive means for the carriage 22, ink supply lines and data supply lines for the printheads, and the like, have not been shown in the drawing.
- the top surface of the sheet support plate 14 has a regular pattern of suction holes 24 which pass through the plate and open into a suction chamber 26 that is formed in the lower part of the plate 14.
- the suction chamber is connected to a blower 28 which creates a subatmospheric pressure in the suction chamber, so that air is drawn-in through the suction holes 24.
- the sheet 12 is held against the flat surface of the support plate 14 in a flat condition, especially in the area which is scanned by the carriage 22. Thereby, a uniform distance between the nozzles of the printheads and the surface of the sheet 12 is established over the whole width of the sheet and a high print quality can be achieved.
- the droplets of molten ink that are jetted out from the nozzles of the printheads have a temperature of 100° C or more and cool down and solidify after they have been deposited on the sheet 12.
- the heat of the ink must be dissipated with a sufficient rate.
- the temperature of the sheet 12 should not be too low, because otherwise the ink droplets on the sheet 12 would be cooled too rapidly and would not have time enough to spread-out. For this reason, the temperature of the sheet 12 is controlled via the sheet support plate 14 by means of a temperature control system 30 which circulates a temperature control fluid, preferably a liquid, through the plate 14.
- the temperature control system includes a circulating system with tubes 32 that are connected to opposite ends of the plate 14. One of the tubes passes through an expansion vessel 33 containing a gas buffer for absorbing temperature-dependent changes in the volume of the liquid.
- the temperature control system 30 includes heaters, temperature sensors, heat sinks, and the like for controlling the temperature of the fluid, as well as a pump or other displacement means for circulating the fluid through the interior of the sheet support plate 14.
- a number of elongated cavities 34 are formed in the interior of the plate 14 so as to extend in parallel with one another and in parallel with the direction (B) of travel of the carriage 22 between opposite ends of the plate 14, where they are connected to the tubes 32 through suitable manifolds.
- the cavities 34 are delimited by top walls 36, bottom walls 38 and separating walls 40.
- the top walls 36 together, define the top surface 42 of the plate 14 which is machined to be perfectly flat.
- passages 58 connect the suction holes 24 to apertures 60 at a bottom surface of the bottom wall of the plate 14.
- the section is parallel to the direction (A) of the sheet advance.
- FIGs. 3 and 4 different embodiments of the sheet support plate 14 are shown in cross-section, the plane of section being parallel to the arrows B in Fig. 1 .
- the dimensional proportions and the number of the suction holes 24 as shown have been altered for reasons of clarity.
- the shape of the blocks 80 may be adapted to create a certain amount of leak air flow from not covered suction holes 24b to the blower 28, depending on the size of the sheet.
- Fig. 4 shows an embodiment in which the blocks 80 have the shape of wedges.
- Fig. 5 shows another embodiment of the sheet support plate 14, which differs from the sheet support plate of Fig. 1 in that there are hollow spaces 44 formed between pairs of separating walls 40.
- the hollow spaces 44 extend in parallel to each other and in parallel with the direction (B) of travel of the carriage 22 between opposite ends of the plate 14.
- the suction holes 24 pass through the top wall 36 into the hollow space 44.
- the hollow spaces 44 are connected to the suction chamber 26 via the apertures 60.
- the hollow spaces 44 are filled with flow a obstructing material 84.
- the suction chamber 26 does not contain flow obstructing material.
- flow obstructing material may also be present inside the suction chamber 26 as has been described in the previous embodiments.
