Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for pressing flat goods on a transport module according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention is used in microprocessor-controlled printing devices and is suitable for franking machines and other mail processing equipment.
  • a transport principle with an overhead belt and a bottom-mounted sprung counter-pressure device, between which a mailpiece is clamped, is known from the patent DD 233 101 B5
  • a thermal transfer ribbon is not suitable as a conveyor belt.
  • the thermal transfer ribbon is disposed above a feed table over which the mail pieces are transported horizontally post-downstream.
  • the feed table has openings through which a driven counter-pressure roller passes through the mail item.
  • a jam relief mechanism for a mailing machine is known.
  • a mailpiece is fed along a feed path in a mailing machine by means of an endless drive belt which exerts stiction on the top of the mailpiece.
  • a plurality of pivoting arms are mounted in a sequence below the lower belt run of the endless drive belt.
  • Each pivot arm each has a pinch roller attached to a free end of the pivot arm.
  • a respective biasing mechanism is associated with each pivot arm, whereby the pivot arm is biased in an upward direction so that the pinch roller contacts the lower belt path when no mail piece is fed.
  • the jam relief mechanism selectively and simultaneously pushes the pivot arms against the respective biasing force applied to each of the pivot arms by the biasing mechanism.
  • the pinch rollers Upon pivoting of the pivot arms by the jam relief mechanism, the pinch rollers are moved in a downward direction away from the lower belt run of the endless belt.
  • the swivel arms are rotatably mounted on axles, which requires a complex assembly.
  • a printing device for an ink-jet franking machine wherein a franking print is printed by means of an ink-jet print head on a mail piece in the case of an approximately horizontal letter transport.
  • the ink jet printhead is arranged to be stationary behind a guide plate in a recess for printing.
  • a transport device is a revolving conveyor belt, which is also arranged on the side of the guide plate.
  • a supporting and pressing device is arranged with a plurality of rollers, so that a fed mail piece between the rollers of the support and pressure device and the circulating conveyor belt is clamped.
  • the device can not avoid skewing the print carrier. Even an insufficiently tensioned conveyor belt or not exactly parallel alignment of the axes of those rollers on which the conveyor belt rotates, carries the aforementioned danger in itself. Due to the large number of roles of support and pressure device latter is very expensive.
  • An apparatus for character printing on a predetermined place on one side of a flat recording medium and a correspondingly equipped franking machine are known.
  • a transport belt is arranged on the one hand on the inkjet printhead side and on the other hand forms an unsupported support means for the print side of a flat recording medium (object, mail, envelope).
  • a counter-pressure device supports the flat object from below, in which a belt rolls around at least two other rollers, at least one of which is not suspended.
  • One from the EP 1 170 141 B1 Known device for printing a print carrier in the printing area uses in the power transmission area a driven transport drum and non-driven counter-pressure rollers or alternatively a non-driven counter-pressure conveyor belt.
  • a stationary ink jet printhead prints in the print area the downstream moving print carrier, wherein the ink jet print head is arranged axially to the transport drum.
  • the printing area is preferably about 1 inch and is spaced from the power transmission area, wherein the distance of the farthest pixel from the edge of the transport drum is smaller than the radius of the circumference of the transport drum.
  • the disadvantage is the low approximately linear contact of the mail piece surface to be printed with the transport drum and a spaced feed wheel for mailpieces.
  • the feed wheel is driven by a toothed belt from the transport drum. This causes a ⁇ x offset of the dots in the print image. Othogonal this results in a ⁇ y offset of the dots in the printed image, especially in very large mailpieces.
  • the structure also causes high manufacturing costs.
  • a franking machine is known, inter alia, an electronic part (meters) and the transport device for mailpieces with an electronic control.
  • a keyboard and a display unit of the meter are connected to the electronic part.
  • the electronic control is electrically connected to a drive of the transport device to the drive.
  • To drive for example, an electric motor with gear is used.
  • the transport device has a conveyor belt, which in the transport area with a predetermined Stiction on a part of the surface of the flat goods or mail pieces acts, which is not printed, but the printing area is close.
  • At least one ink cartridge is arranged opposite to the direction of gravity above a printing window in the z direction of a Cartesian coordinate system.
  • at least one ink jet printhead ejects ink droplets opposite to the z direction in the direction of gravity, which fly through the printing window.
  • the printing window is arranged on the edge of a conveyor belt in the y-direction in a housing part, wherein the conveyor belt transports a flat good to be printed on the edge during printing in the transport direction x at the at least one print head over.

  • an actuating element is arranged to actuate a lowering device, which is arranged in the lower housing shell.
  • the lowering device has a lever mechanically connected to the actuating element and a slider coupled thereto, which causes a lowering of the spring elements when the actuating element is actuated.
