Definitions
- the invention relates to the printing of patterns on three-dimensional articles, and more particularly to printing on articles mounted on rotary receiving elements.
- Bottles, tubes, jars used for inkjet printing are generally made of plastic, because they are particularly inexpensive, unbreakable, light, and colorable.
- the bottles can also be formed of glass.
- a treatment for example by corona, flame, plasma, or any appropriate surface treatment.
- a white background is then optionally printed which is dried, for example with ultraviolet radiation, before printing a four-color process (black, magenta, cyan, yellow).
- printing machines are used which have a plurality of fixed ink jet printheads, and an article is moved relative to the heads. The machines include a drive mechanism for rotating the articles to print a pattern. Regardless of the printing device used, printing defects may occur due to misalignment, article, or printheads.
- British patent application GB 2376920 discloses a method for printing a pattern on a cylinder (or cone) of any size with the aid of several printing heads.
- the printheads are radially disposed with respect to the center of the article for printing on curved objects.
- the printheads can be fixed or movable along an axis.
- the cylinder is rotated about its axis while a print head moves in translation along a generatrix of the cylinder.
- the relative trajectory of the print head relative to the cylinder is helical.
- a software managing the printing takes into account the parameters of the helix to correct the printed image.
- the software can perform image processing to print an image of the rectangular type on an article of the conical type.
- the software uses a modified print file to adapt the rectangular image to the conical shape of the article. But this process only allows to print a single pattern on one object at a time, it is unsuited to an industrial process where it is desired to print several patterns on several items with a high rate.
- An object of the invention is to overcome these disadvantages, and more particularly to provide a means for printing patterns with a high print timing and high accuracy.
- Another object is to be able to provide a means for correcting printing errors due, in particular, to variations in pattern development.
- a method of pattern printing on three-dimensional articles respectively mounted on rotary receiving elements comprising a step of producing, for each receiving element, a set of plural digital images intended to print respectively parts of the same pattern on an article mounted on the receiving element, and a step of successive impressions of the parts of the same pattern on the same article respectively from the digital images of the set associated with the receiving element of the article.
- the digital images of the same set have the same length, the method comprising a step of simultaneous printing of several parts of distinct patterns on respectively several articles, each simultaneous printing of a part of a pattern on an article being performed at from a digital image of the set associated with the receiving element of the article.
- the rate of printing of the patterns on several articles is increased.
- the length of the digital images associated with each receiving element is adapted to obtain an accurate impression of the patterns.
- Each digital image can represent a monochromatic part of a pattern.
- the length of the digital images of the same set associated with a receiving element can be determined from the length of an arc described by the rotation of the article mounted on the receiving element.
- the differences in rotation between the receiving elements are taken into account in order to obtain an even more precise impression of the patterns on the articles. Indeed, there may be variations in rotation between two receiving elements due to a machining defect of the elements, or to a positioning error of the elements. Thus, the printing of the patterns is adapted according to the rotational variations between two receiving elements.
- a device for printing patterns on three-dimensional articles comprising:
- a support plate provided on its periphery with a plurality of article receiving elements, each receiving element being rotatably mounted on the support plate;
- image processing means configured to produce, for each receiving element, a set of several digital images intended to print parts of the same pattern respectively on an article mounted on the receiving element; and means for rotating the support plate configured to place each article mounted on a receiving element successively facing each print head so as to successively print the parts of the same pattern on the same article respectively from the digital images of the set associated with the receiving element of the article.
- the digital images of the same set have the same length, and the printheads are configured to simultaneously print several parts of distinct patterns on respectively several articles, each print head printing a part of a pattern on an article to from a digital image of the set associated with the receiving element of the article.
- the image processing means can produce monochromatic digital images.
- the image processing means can determine the length of the digital images of the same set associated with a receiving element from the length of an arc described by the rotation of the article mounted on the element of reception.

- each Arefl reference material Aref2 is printed with a pattern M1, M2 from the reference digital image lref.
- each printed pattern is analyzed on each of the reference articles and it is determined whether a printing error has occurred. For example, a print error with respect to a mark in the pattern printed on the reference article can be determined, or it can relate to a mark on the reference article itself. For example, if the pattern is spread over the article, there is an overlap of the edges of the pattern on the article. In this case the length of the image is too long.
- the determined error associated with the reception element for example via a software interface of a computer, is recorded using image processing means 31 for each reception element. .

- Each main transmission element 15 is coupled on the one hand to a third driving element 16 fixed to a central axis driven by the secondary motor 7 and on the other hand to two second driving elements 13 of the unit elements 12.
- the central axis is a shaft of the secondary motor 7.
- the unit elements 12 are connected so that each turn of a main transmission element 15, corresponds to a turn or a half-turn of the intermediate transmission elements 14 of the the connected unit elements 12, and preferably all intermediate transmission elements 14.
- the third drive element 16 resumes an initial position identical to each revolution of a main transmission element 15.
- an intermediate transmission element 14 corresponds to an integer multiple of revolutions of the associated main transmission element 15.
- the third drive element 16 preferably has an axis of rotation substantially perpendicular to the support plate 1.
- a main transmission element 15 may be formed by a toothed belt.
- the driving element 16 may comprise a toothed wheel whose axis of rotation is substantially perpendicular to the plane of the support plate 1.
- the transmission elements may be in the form of belts, preferably notched, or chains.
- the receiving elements P1 to P32 have performed at least one complete revolution on themselves.
- all the driving elements 9, 13, 16 are in their initial position.
- the printing device comprises eight sets 8 angularly distributed at the periphery of the plate 1, and four distinct unit elements 12.
- Each set 8 comprises four reception elements P21 to P24.
- Each receiving element P1 to P32 is provided with a gear 11 having 25 teeth, and the first driving element 9 of an assembly 8 is formed by a notched wheel of 25 teeth.
- the associated end transmission element 10 is a toothed belt comprising about 150 teeth. In other words, when the toothed belt 10 of a set makes a turn, all the receiving elements P1 to P32, and all the first driving elements 9, do exactly six turns on themselves.
- Each second driving element 13 may comprise two notched wheels whose axis of rotation is preferably perpendicular to the support plate 1.
- notched wheels are interconnected by a total connection, that is to say they are fixed relative to each other, they have the same angular velocity.
- a first toothed wheel of the second drive member 13 is coupled to the intermediate transmission member 14 formed by a toothed toothed belt of 150 teeth.
- a total of four unit elements 12 are then obtained.
- the four unit elements 12 are coupled two by two to the central axis.
- Each coupling can be achieved by a main transmission element 15 in the form of a toothed toothed belt 150 coupled on the one hand to the second 50-toothed wheels of the second drive elements 13 respectively of the two connected unit elements 12, and other part of the third drive element 16 arranged, preferably, in the form of at least a toothed wheel of 50 teeth fixed to the central axis.
- the notches forming the main transmission elements are only two in number.
- Such a printing device makes it possible to ensure the reproducibility of the rotational movements of an article on its receiving element at each indexing of the support plate 1.
- the secondary motor 7 is a motor brushless type ("brushless" in English).
- Such an engine avoids fluctuations in the electrical and mechanical losses associated with other types of engines which would have the consequence of introducing non-reproducible offsets at each turn of the main transmission end, intermediate transmission 14 and transmission transmission elements 15 .
- each receiving element may have a variation of rotation with respect to another receiving element of the device. Such variations may be due to manufacturing variations of the belts and sprockets of the drive system of the receiving elements.
- the printing device defined in FIGS. 1 and 2 is particularly adapted to take these variations into account and to improve the printing accuracy of the patterns.
