Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Drucker der im Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 genannten Art.The present invention relates to a printer referred to in the preamble of claim 1 Art.

Aus dem Stand der Technik ist ein Single-Pass Inkjet-Drucker mit einem Druckmodul und einem Auszugssystem bekannt. Das Auszugssystem umfasst zwei gegenüberliegende Teleskopschienen, die mit dem Druckmodul verbunden sind und mittels welchen das Druckmodul relativ zum Gehäuse des Druckers zwischen einer ausgezogenen und einer eingezogenen Position verschiebbar lagerbar ist. Die Teleskopschienen sind für den einseitigen Auszug des Druckmoduls ausgebildet. Das Druckmodul des Single-Pass Druckers umfasst zumindest einen, typischerweise jedoch eine Mehrzahl an Druckköpfen mit jeweils zumindest einer Düsenreihe zum Bedrucken eines Mediums durch Ausstoß von Tintentropfen.From the prior art, a single-pass inkjet printer with a printing module and an extension system is known. The extension system comprises two opposing telescopic rails, which are connected to the printing module and by means of which the printing module relative to the housing of the printer between a solid and a retracted position is displaceable storable. The telescopic rails are designed for the one-sided extension of the printing module. The printing module of the single-pass printer comprises at least one, but typically a plurality of printheads each having at least one row of nozzles for printing a medium by ejecting ink drops.

In einer ausgezogenen Position können am Druckmodul Wartungsarbeiten vorgenommen werden, die in der eingezogenen Position nur mit Schwierigkeiten und damit nur mit einem höheren Arbeitsaufwand möglich wären.In an extended position maintenance work can be made on the printing module, which would be possible in the retracted position only with difficulty and thus only with a higher workload.

WO 2011 157281 beschreibt einen Single-Pass-Tintenstrahldrucker mit einer Laufbahn zum Führen eines Druckmediums entlang einer Laufrichtung sowie mit einer Anzahl von sich in einer Querrichtung über die Laufbahn erstreckenden Druckkopfmodulen. Dabei ist vorgesehen, dass die Druckkopfmodule jeweils im Wesentlichen in vertikaler Richtung hängend selbstjustierend in eine gerätefeste Druckposition einbringbar und in der gerätefesten Druckposition reversibel entnehmbar angeordnet sind. Ein solcher Single-Pass-Tintenstrahldrucker bietet die Möglichkeit eines einfachen manuellen Austauschs von Druckkopfmodulen, wodurch sich die Stillstandzeiten verkürzen. JP 2003 211053 A beschreibt eine Vorrichtung zum Beschichten einer Oberfläche eines zu beschichtenden Objekts, wie beispielsweise eines Halbleiter- oder Flüssigkristallsubstrats, mit einer Abdeckbeschichtung oder dergleichen mit einer gleichmäßigen Filmdicke. Des weiteren beschreibt dieses Dokument einen Wartungsmechanismus eines Beschichtungskopfes einer Flüssigkeitsbeschichtungsvorrichtung mit dem insbesondere Wartungsarbeiten an einem großen Beschichtungskopf erleichtert werden. WO 2015 EPO 1557 beschreibt ein Druckmodul, umfassend eine an der Frontseite angeordenete Baugruppe für die Montage eines Druckkopfes in einem Tintenstrahldrucker, wobei das Druckmodul relativ zu einer Ablageeinrichtung beabstandet angeordnet ist und die Baugruppe einen Trägerrahmen mit einer Öffnung, die sich durch den Trägerrahmen erstreckt und für die Aufnahme/Abgabe des Druckkopfes vorgesehen ist, wobei die Baugruppe Mittel für die Montage des Druckkopfes aufweist, welche ein frontseitiges Empfangen desselben in einer Reparaturstellung des Druckmoduls relativ zur Ablageeinrichtung ermöglichen. WO 2011 157281 describes a single pass ink jet printer having a track for guiding a print medium along a direction of travel as well as having a number of printhead modules extending transversely across the track. It is provided that the printhead modules are arranged in each case substantially vertically adjustable self-aligning in a device-fixed printing position and reversibly removable in the device fixed printing position. Such a single-pass inkjet printer offers the potential for easy manual replacement of printhead modules, reducing downtime. JP 2003 211053 A describes an apparatus for coating a surface of an object to be coated, such as a semiconductor or liquid crystal substrate, with a cover coating or the like having a uniform film thickness. Furthermore, this document describes a maintenance mechanism of a coating head of a liquid coating apparatus with which, in particular, maintenance work on a large coating head is facilitated. WO 2015 EPO 1557 describes a printing module comprising a front mounted assembly for mounting a printhead in an ink jet printer, the printing module being spaced relative to a tray, and the assembly comprising a support frame having an opening extending through the support frame is provided for the recording / dispensing of the print head, wherein the assembly has means for mounting the print head, which allow a front-side receiving the same in a repair position of the printing module relative to the storage device.

Im Rahmen dieser Beschreibung wird unter einem Single-Pass Drucker ein Drucker mit einem Druckmodul zum Bedrucken des Mediums verstanden, bei dem das Medium im Betriebsmodus kontinuierlich bewegt wird und das Druckmodul einen Bereich des Mediums jeweils ein einziges Mal erblickt, wobei das Druckmodul nicht gemäß dem bekannten Scanverfahren betrieben wird, sondern im Wesentlichen stationär angeordnet ist.In the context of this description, a single-pass printer is understood as meaning a printer having a printing module for printing on the medium, in which the medium is continuously moved in the operating mode and the printing module sees a single area of the medium, wherein the printing module does not act according to the known scanning method is operated, but essentially is arranged stationary.

Derartigen Single-Pass Druckern mit Auszugssystemen haftet die Schwierigkeit an, dass das Druckmodul nach erfolgtem Auszug nur schwer wieder zurück in dievorbestimmte Druckposition korrekt positioniert werden kann. Das ist ganz besonders wichtig, da nur in der korrekten Druckposition ein Bild mit der gewünschten Druckqualität gedruckt werden kann. In der Regel werden bei einem Single-Pass Drucker mindestens vier Druckmodule in Vorschubrichtung nacheinander angeordnet, eines für jede Grundfarbe inkl. Schwarz.Such single-pass printers with pullout systems have the difficulty of having the print engine difficult to properly reposition back to the predetermined print position after pullout. This is especially important because only in the correct printing position can an image be printed with the desired print quality. As a rule, with a single-pass printer, at least four print modules are arranged one after the other in the feed direction, one for each basic color, including black.

Tatsache ist, dass Single-Pass Drucker zukünftig immer größere Druckbreiten abdecken werden. Eine große Druckbreite bedeutet, dass größere und damit schwerere Druckmodule zum Einsatz kommen. Dementsprechend erhöht sich auch die Gefahr, dass bei einem Vollauszug das Auszugssystem Schaden nimmt und in Folge dessen das Auszugssystem das Druckmodul nicht mehr in die korrekte Druckposition zu verbringen vermag.The fact is, single-pass printers will cover ever greater print widths in the future. A large printing width means that larger and therefore heavier printing modules are used. Accordingly, the risk increases that the extract system is damaged in a full extension and as a result, the pull-out system is no longer able to spend the print module in the correct printing position.

Zur Lösung des Problems sind Auszugssysteme mit besonders robuster Bauweise bekannt. Solche Auszugssysteme sind aber teuer in der Anschaffung.To solve the problem extraction systems are known with a particularly robust design. Such pull-out systems are expensive to buy.

Die robuste Bauweise vermag das Problem der korrekten Positionierung zwar zu lösen, hat aber den Nachteil, dass die gewünschte Druckqualität trotzdem oft nicht erzielt wird, da Druckmodule in Vorschubrichtung weiter voneinander beabstandet werden müssen als bei einfacher Bauweise.Although the robust design can solve the problem of correct positioning, but has the disadvantage that the desired print quality is still often not achieved because print modules in the feed direction must be spaced further apart than in a simple design.

Bekanntlich verschlechtert sich beim Bedrucken eines Mediums mit einem Single-Pass Drucker die Druckqualität mit zunehmendem Abstand der Druckmodule voneinander, da aufgrund der zwangsläufigen Toleranzen das Medium einen gegenüber der Transportrichtung senkrechten Seitenlauf hat.As is known, the printing quality deteriorates with increasing distance of the printing modules from each other when printing a medium with a single-pass printer, since due to the inevitable tolerances, the medium has a side run perpendicular to the transport direction.

Der Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zugrunde einen Single-Pass Drucker mit einem einfachen Auszugssystem anzugeben, mit dem die oben genannten Probleme zumindest reduziert werden können.The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a single-pass printer with a simple extension system, with which the above problems can be at least reduced.

Die Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale der unabhängigen Ansprüche 1 und 12 erfüllt. Die Unteransprüche beschreiben bevorzugte Varianten der vorliegenden erfinderischen Vorrichtung.The object is achieved by the features of independent claims 1 and 12. The subclaims describe preferred variants of the present inventive device.

Entsprechend einem ersten Aspekt der Erfindung wird gemäß Anspruch 1 ein Single-Pass Drucker mit zumindest einem Druckmodul zum Bedrucken eines Mediums und einem Auszugssystem vorgestellt, das mit dem Druckmodul über mindestens einem Mittel zur Kopplung koppelbar ist, wobei das Druckmodul zumindest eine Düsenreihe umfasst und wobei das Auszugssystem dergestalt ausgelegt ist, dass das Druckmodul im gekoppelten Zustand relativ zu einem Gestell des Single-Pass Druckers zwischen einer eingezogenen Position und einer variabel wählbar ausgezogenen Position verschoben werden kann.According to a first aspect of the invention, a single-pass printer with at least one printing module for printing a medium and an extension system is presented, which can be coupled to the printing module via at least one coupling means, wherein the printing module comprises at least one nozzle row and wherein the extension system is designed such that the pressure module in the coupled state relative to a frame of the single-pass printer between a retracted position and a variable selectable extended position can be moved.

Erfindungsgemäss ist das Druckmodul zumindest dann vom Auszugssystem entkoppelbar, wenn mittels Druckmodul über die zumindest eine Düsenreihe Tintentropfen auf ein Medium gedruckt werden sollen, wobei das Druckmodul im vom Auszugssystem entkoppelten Zustand in einer vorbestimmten Druckposition auf einer Traghalterung des Gestells ortsfest gelagert werden kann.According to the invention, the printing module can be decoupled from the extraction system at least if ink droplets are to be printed on a medium by means of the printing module via the at least one nozzle row, wherein the printing module can be stored in a predetermined printing position on a support bracket of the frame in a decoupled state from the extraction system.

Der erfindungsgemässe Single-Pass Drucker lässt vorteilhafterweise eine kompaktere Bauweise als die bekannten Single-Pass Drucker mit Auszugssystem zu.The inventive single-pass printer advantageously allows a more compact design than the known single-pass printer with pull-out system.

Entsprechend einem zweiten Aspekt der Erfindung wird gemäß Anspruch 12 ein Single-Pass Drucker mit zumindest einem Druckmodul zum Bedrucken eines Mediums und einem Auszugssystem angegeben, das mit dem Druckmodul über mindestens ein Mittel zur Kopplung koppelbar ist, wobei das Druckmodul zumindest eine Düsenreihe umfasst und wobei das Auszugssystem dergestalt ausgelegt ist, dass das Druckmodul im gekoppelten Zustand relativ zu einem Gestell des Single-Pass Druckers zwischen einer eingezogenen Position und einer variabel wählbar ausgezogenen Position verschoben werden kann, wobei das Auszusgsystem derart ausgebildet ist, dass das Druckmodul im an das Auszugssystem gekoppelten Zustand mit dem Auszugssystems in zwei entgegengesetzte Richtungen und damit zweiseitig relativ zum Gestell auszieh- und einschiebbar ist.According to a second aspect of the invention according to claim 12, a single-pass printer is provided with at least one printing module for printing a medium and an extension system which can be coupled to the printing module via at least one means for coupling, wherein the printing module comprises at least one nozzle row and wherein the extension system is designed such that the print module can be moved in the coupled state relative to a frame of the single-pass printer between a retracted position and a variably selectable extended position, wherein the Auszusgsystem is designed such that the print module in coupled to the extension system Condition with the extension system in two opposite directions and thus two-sided relative to the frame extractable and can be inserted.

Die sich aus der Alternativlösung gegenüber dem ersten Aspekt der Erfindung ergebende objektive technische Aufgabe des zweiten Aspekts der Erfindung besteht ebenfalls darin, einen Single-Pass Drucker mit einem einfachen Auszugssystem anzugeben, mit dem die oben genannten Probleme zumindest reduziert werden können. Ein solcher Drucker lässt auch in vorteilhafter Weise eine kompaktere Bauweise als die bekannten Single-Pass Drucker zu. Die Erfindung wird durch den Hauptanspruch 1 definiert.The objective technical problem of the second aspect of the invention resulting from the alternative solution compared to the first aspect of the invention is likewise to provide a single-pass printer with a simple extension system with which the abovementioned problems can at least be reduced. Such a printer can also be advantageously a more compact design than the known single-pass printer. The invention is defined by the main claim 1.

Die jeweiligen ersten und zweiten Laufrollen (113, 113') definieren gemeinsam eine Führungsebene, entlang der das Blech verschiebbar gelagert ist. Das Blech ist über Mittel zur Kopplung 105 mit dem Druckmodul 101 lösbar gekoppelt. Der Single Pass Drucker umfasst eine Auflagevorrichtung 104 mittels welcher das Medium 103 in Transportrichtung X transportiert werden kann.In illustration A off FIG. 1 a single-pass printer is shown with a printing module 101 for printing on a medium 103 and an extraction system. The extension system comprises a relative to the frame 107 of the printer (out of the plane) extendable guide unit 111 which is formed as a metal sheet with a hat profile, and a guide arrangement which is formed as opposed first and second rotatably mounted rollers (113, 113 ').
