  • This device comprises a disk recording or copying unit and a printing unit on one side of the disk, these two units being mounted on the same axis perpendicular to a disk carrier combined with an arm used for handling the disk. disk.
  • the patent EP 1,057,651 discloses a simple and economical printer comprising a carrier object adaptable to several forms of objects.
  • the patent US 6,302,601 relates to a thermal transfer type printer suitable for printing on compact discs comprising a removable medium.
  • printers for example inkjet-type printers, relatively simple and inexpensive, modified and adapted to receive discs instead of sheets of paper.
  • the compact disc printing apparatus belongs to this category, and thus makes it possible to have a printer capable of printing various information in a punctual and personalized manner on the surface of a compact disc, thanks to an inexpensive additional device adapting the operation of the standard type printer so as to print on one side of a medium such as a compact disc.
  • the printing apparatus of the present invention comprises a conventional standard printer base, for example of the type. inkjet printer, intended to print on sheets of paper, comprising at least one drive motor of the print head and the support of the object to be printed, and supplemented by an additional motor and a mechanical device of tilting of the support drive by one or the other motor.
  • the usual printers comprise two separate motors for moving the print head and for advancing the paper receiving the print.
  • the apparatus for printing information on the surface of an object such as a compact disc is of the type comprising at least one mobile printing head and one object carriage and at least one a main drive motor, and it is distinguished in that it comprises an additional motor driving the carriage on part of its displacement, and a mechanical switch for alternately tilting the drive of the carriage by the main motor and by the additional engine.
  • the object to be printed is placed on the carriage, the carriage is advanced by means of an additional motor to a printing start position, the carriage is advanced by the main motor during printing, and returns the carriage to its original position by the additional motor, after removing the printed disc.
  • the control of the additional motor is preferably programmed to extend the movement of the carriage to a position for removal of the printed disk.
  • the carriage is held in its end position corresponding to the removal of the printed disk until a new print order is given, then causing the carriage to return to the starting position.
  • the removal of the printed disk can be done after returning the carriage to the starting position.
  • the recording medium printing apparatus of the present invention is designed to use a standard printer base by supplementing it with an appropriate device and making sure to modify as little as possible its original mode of operation.
  • the program and electronic components that control the movements of the print head and the support of the object to be printed, generally a sheet of paper are not modified in their design or their operating mode, and that the additional device inserted in the device does not interfere with their operation, so that the printing on the surface of the recording medium, such as a compact disc, is exactly like printing on a sheet of paper in the same unmodified printer.
  • the recording medium on one side of which must be printed text or graphics is constituted by a carriage capable of moving in both directions on an axis substantially perpendicular to the axis of movement of the print head, unlike the print medium of a conventional printer that moves between two positions, always in the same direction.
  • this support is generally constituted by rollers and slides that guide the movement of the sheet of paper from a loading tray to a receiving tray after printing.
  • the movement of the compact disk carriage must be able to be controlled alternately by the control of the printer and by the control of the additional device, and the drive of the carriage is then done either by the printer motor or by that of the additional device, according to the position of the mechanical switch.
  • the movement of the carriage is controlled so that the latter is in its starting position after each printing of a compact disc so as to be ready for printing the next compact disc.
  • the movement of the carriage is related to the printing cycle only during part of its own cycle.
  • the print head of the printer moves substantially perpendicular to the axis of movement of the carriage, under the control of the printer.
  • electronics and printer control software to print the desired information on the surface of the compact disc, as in the case of the usual printing on a sheet of paper.
  • the motor of the additional device thanks to the mechanical switch, causes the carriage to move again.
  • This end of the printing cycle can advantageously be detected by a sensor, for example a photocell, identifying the corresponding position of the carriage.
  • the mechanical switch is preferably constituted by a gear system capable of pivoting between two positions to be driven alternately by the gears of one or the other of the two engines.
  • the mechanical switch comprises a right-mounted gear comprising a toothed wheel on the drive axis of the compact disc carrier carriage, cooperating with an intermediate gear mounted on a pivoting arm along the axis of the wheel. toothed.
  • the mechanical switch When the mechanical switch is operated to switch from one position to another, it may happen that the top of a tooth of the motor pinion is facing the top of a tooth of the intermediate gear. To avoid mishandling of the latter, the movement of the mechanical switch is controlled by an actuator, and a spring is placed between the actuator and the switch, so as to compensate for the angular variation thus created. Thus, from the beginning of the rotation of the drive pinion, under the action of the spring the intermediate pinion is put in place and the two pinions meshing normally.
  • connection between the actuator and the switch is fixed but the axis of the intermediate gear is slidably mounted in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the pivoting arm, against the action of a spring that pushes it against the motor pinion.
  • the axis of the intermediate gear is automatically moved back a distance equal to the depth of the toothing, and from the beginning of the rotation of the pinion. motor, the intermediate gear is put in place and the two gears meshes normally.
  • the device according to the present invention also has the advantage of not disturbing the cleaning mode of the printheads, necessary to maintain the quality of printing on compact discs, or on paper if necessary.
  • the cleaning of the print heads can be done by means of a pump, which can be actuated by the same motor as that which drives the paper or the compact disc carrier carriage. Consequently, in such a configuration, the cleaning of the printheads can not be done during a printing cycle, but it is necessarily performed outside this cycle, at a time determined by the printer program according to the parameters that are specific to it.
  • the device according to the invention makes it possible not to disturb the process of cleaning the printheads by the pump actuated by the printer motor outside the printing cycle, thanks to the mechanical switch which isolates the motor of the printer after printing, and drive the Compact Disc Carriage with the additional motor.
  • the apparatus of the invention comprises a motion sensor of the main motor, connected to a control circuit allowing rotation of the additional motor when the sensor has detected that the main motor is at a standstill.
  • the motion sensor allowing the control circuit of the additional motor to know the on or off position of the printer engine, and to activate the additional engine only when the engine of the engine printer is stopped.
  • the printer of the invention has the advantage of being used in manual mode or integrated in a robotic device.
  • the user loads each disc directly and resumes it after printing.
  • the printer is integrated in a system comprising, in a known manner, devices for automatically loading and removing the disks.
  • the Figure 1 schematically shows the operation of a device according to the invention, combined with a paper drive system and control of the print head of a conventional ink jet printer.

  • the operation of the motor (MI) is controlled by the control circuit I.
  • a mechanical switch (A) is placed between the motor (MI) and the compact disc carriage (C) so that the carriage (C) moves. is driven by the motor (MI) when the switch (A) is switched to the corresponding gear position.
  • the additional motor (M II) can also drive the carriage (C) via the mechanical switch (A) when the latter is in the appropriate position.
  • the operation of the additional motor (M II) is controlled by the control circuit (II).
  • the switching of the mechanical switch (A) is controlled by the control circuit (II) according to the parameters from the motion sensor (B), according to a simple logic.
  • the motion sensor (B) is of the usual type, which detects whether the motor (M I) is rotating or is at a standstill.
  • the printer engine (M I) may also cause the pump (P) to work to clean the printheads of the printer.
  • the Figure 2 represents the relative positions of the two motors (MI) and (M II) and the mechanical switch (A).
  • the motor (M I) of the printer drives the axis (1) through the belt (2) and the wheel (3).
  • the shaft (1) carries the pinion (4) whose rotation drives the intermediate gear (5) mounted on the pivoting arm (6) of the mechanical switch (A).
  • the angular rotation movement of the switch (C) is controlled by an actuator (7) by a mechanism shown in more detail on the Figure 3 .
