Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for printing a component by means of a digital printing method, which component has a first and a second surface area.
  • the task of printing components with two surface areas, which are inclined at an angle to each other and connected to each other via a transition region may be, for example, plates or strips with at an angle of, for example, 90 ° to each other arranged side surfaces which are connected to each other via an edge formed with a radius or a transition region.
  • Such components are printed after mechanical finishing, for example, with an ink jet process, so that their entire visible surface to the outside receives a pleasing appearance, for example, provided with a homogeneous ink layer or with a pattern that runs steadily over the entire surface.
  • a printing method for printing a component having two mutually perpendicular surface areas is described, which merge into one another via an inclined surface 116.
  • each surface area is a printhead 60.
  • the inclined surface is printed so that the printheads are each moved beyond the associated surface area, so that at least one part of the inclined surface is printed.
  • a middle region of the inclined surface is printed by both printheads.
  • the US 2001019340 A1 describes a printing method and a device for its implementation, in which or when printing three-dimensional surfaces on a printhead trained printing nozzles are each controlled such that only those printing nozzles are activated, the distance from the surface to be printed is within a predetermined value ,
  • the EP 1 479 524 A1 also generally describes a method of manufacturing a component having a surface of predetermined appearance, wherein adjacent surface areas disposed at an angle to each other are patterned such that the pattern smoothly transitions from one surface area to the other surface area. There are no indications regarding the printing of a transition area between the surfaces.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method and an apparatus with which it is possible to easily print a transition region formed between two surface regions forming an angle with one another in such a way that a homogeneous printing of the transition region takes place.
  • the claim 8 is directed to an apparatus for solving the relevant part of the invention task.
  • a digital printing method is understood to mean printing methods in which a liquid in the form of individual liquid droplets is sprayed onto individual surface elements of a surface to be printed by means of at least one digital data set from at least one spray nozzle in order to produce a predetermined pattern on the surface. which can also have the appearance of a homogeneous coloring. Different colors can be produced by different color liquids, which are sprayed in the form of droplets on a surface element or immediately adjacent surface elements. Different color intensities can be produced by the number of droplets reaching a surface element or immediately adjacent surface elements and / or, more recently, by different volumes of the liquid droplets.
  • a typical example of a digital printing process is the so-called inkjet printing process in which ink or dye liquid droplets are ejected from a printhead having a plurality of spray nozzles.
  • the droplets are generated by thermal evaporation (bubblejet) or by means of piezoelectric elements and sprayed.
  • Fig. 1 has a component to be printed 10, in the example shown a edge strip, a non-printing base 12, a likewise not to be printed lateral side 14, a first flat surface area to be printed 16, a to be printed curved transition area 18 in a flat to be printed second Surface area 20 on.
  • the surface regions 16 and 20 are perpendicular to one another and in each case continuously transition into the transition region 18, which extends over an angular range of 90 degrees and has a radius of curvature r.
  • a print head of a per se known ink jet printing device is described, which is formed for example as a pressure bar and over the entire in Fig. 1 extends perpendicular to the plane of the drawing length of the component 10.
  • a pressure bar contains, for example, a plurality of printheads arranged in mutual overlap along its length, so that each surface element can be covered with liquid droplets.
  • the printing of the component 10 takes place in the illustrated example such that initially under relative movement between the component 10 and the print head 20 in a direction perpendicular to the plane perpendicular to the paper plane extension direction of the component 10 and parallel to the surface region 16 (x-direction) of the first Surface region 16 and a part of the transition region 18 is printed.
  • the control data stored in an EDP system are distorted with respect to the curved transition region 18 in the x-direction compared to a template, which shows the pattern to be generated on the curved surface of the transition region, so that depending on the angle ⁇ , the x-direction with the respective tangent to the surface of the transition region forms, the pattern is stretched.
  • the amount of liquid sprayed off is changed as a function of x.
  • x 0 is in Fig. 1 denotes the beginning of the transition region.
  • the quantity of liquid to be sprayed off per relative movement unit in the x-direction is constant relative to the color intensity to be achieved.
  • the intensity of the printing ie the amount of liquid to be emitted per unit of relative movement in the x direction for the generation of a predetermined color intensity, remains over a distance x 1 , starting from x 0 Fig.
  • Fig. 1 is initially constant to the right and then decreases between x 1 and x 2 , for example, linearly, and is set to zero when reaching the point x 2 , so that the according to Fig. 1 lowest part of the transition region 18, which is very strongly inclined to the x-direction, is not printed in this printing step.
  • step II in which the second surface area 20 is printed and the in Fig. 1 is shown as y-direction.
  • the intensity in the range between y 1 and y 2 decreases to zero, so that the region of the transition region 18 which is inclined more than 60 degrees to the y direction is not printed in this method step.
  • the described printing method achieved in a simple manner that the transition region in well-defined way (exact formation of the pattern due to sufficiently large angle of incidence of the droplet direction on the surface (between 90 degrees and 30 degrees)) is printed with good pattern quality, the intensity remains constant in that in the transition region, is printed on in both printing steps (x and y), the pressure intensity of the one printing step decreases and that of the other printing step increases, so that the sum intensity is approximately constant.
  • the two printing steps I, II can be carried out, for example, by first performing the printing step x such that the component 12 is moved from right to left under the print head 22, then the component 12 corresponding to the angle of inclination of the first surface area 16 and the first surface area 16 second surface area 20 to each other in the illustrated example by 90 degrees) and is then moved from left to right under the print head 22, wherein the printing operation begins when the point B is located under the print head and the printing ends when the location y 2 is located under the printhead.
  • the described method according to which a curved surface can be printed without a print head or the component to be printed being pivoted during the printing process, can be used for a wide variety of components.
  • Fig. 2 shows a cross section through a component in which two relief-like surface regions 16 and 20 are interconnected via a transition region 18, wherein the angle ⁇ , the surface regions 16 and 20 together form, about 60 degrees.
  • a first printing step I the surface region 20 is printed with a first part of the transition region 18.
  • the surface region 16 is printed with a part of the transition region 18 in a second printing step II, wherein the parts of the transition region which are printed in the printing step I and in the printing step II overlap ,
  • the pressure intensity ie the amount of pressure fluid delivered per unit of relative movement, can already be modulated during the printing of the relief-like surface areas 16 and 20 depending on the respective angle of inclination between the surface area and the direction of movement.
  • Fig. 3 shows a component 10 with three mutually perpendicular to each other forming planar surface areas which are interconnected via curved transition areas, wherein the radii of curvature of the transition regions may be the same or different.
  • the surface to be printed on the component 10 is printed in three printing steps I, II and III, in which the component 10 is pivoted to the print head 22 in each case by 90 degrees.
  • the transition areas are, as based on the Fig. 1 portrayed, printed.
  • Fig. 4 shows a component 10 whose surface is to be completely printed;
  • the steps I, II and III correspond to the embodiment according to FIG Fig. 3
  • step IV in which the underside of the component 10 is to be printed, the print head 22 and the component 10 are pivoted to each other such that the relative movement between the print head 22 and component 10 is parallel to the bottom.
  • Fig. 5 shows a circular bar, which is advantageously printed in four printing steps I to IV, wherein in each of the printing operations to both end regions toward control operations are performed, as shown in the Fig. 1 for the transitional area between Fig. 5 the printing steps II and III have been explained.
  • Fig. 6 provides a plan view of a developed surface, for example, of the component 10 according to Fig. 3 with the same length formation of the side regions 20 and 20 '.
  • the meanings of x 1 , x 2 and y 1 , y 2 respectively correspond to those of FIG Fig. 1 .
  • those surface parts are designated, which are printed in the respective printing process x and y (there are two mutually rotated by 180 degrees printing operations y) with an intensity of 100%, that is, all the colors of which, for example a decor is composed, based on the relative movement in the direction of x or y is 100% delivered.
  • the respective ink application is reduced from 100% to 0%, whereby this reduction can be directly proportional decreasing with respect to the inclination angle or the linear relative movement distance.
  • Fig. 7 to 9 show examples according to which the printing steps I and II according to Fig. 1 can be controlled.
  • Fig. 7 shows an example in which the surface part which is printed with decreasing intensity in step I completely overlaps that surface part which is printed in full intensity in step II and vice versa, the surface part which is printed with decreasing intensity in step II, overlaps the part printed in step I with full intensity.
  • Fig. 8 Fig. 14 shows a case where the respective surface portions printed with decreasing intensity overlap but are not congruent.
  • Fig. 9 shows the case in which the surface parts, which are each printed with decreasing intensity, are congruent.
  • Fig. 7 to 9 are for the surface of the component according to Fig. 6 each to be presented twice, ie to the respective Fig. 7 to 9 joins the Fig. 6 to the left mirror the same figure again.
  • Fig. 10 Based on Fig. 10 is below under a similar consideration as in Fig. 1 explains how to achieve a print intensity on the transition region 18 in the printing steps I (relative movement between the print head and the first surface region 16 in the x direction) and the printing step II (relative movement between the print head and the second surface region 20 in the y direction) , which leads to a constant pressure intensity over the entire transition region 18.
  • the geometry of the pattern to be created in the transition region 18 can be transformed in a manner known per se by distorting the pattern data used for the control according to the angle ⁇ such that the pattern is printed undistorted in spite of the linear relative movement.
