Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for printing a large area, in particular a large, located on a non-feedable to a printing substrate surface.
- a large area in particular a large, located on a non-feedable to a printing substrate surface.
- examples of such surfaces are building walls, walls of trucks or railway carriages, surfaces on containers or entire ship's side walls.
- Paint application system over the substrate Ink jet printers are widely used, the ink to be applied being an ink which is sprayed onto the substrate in droplets via nozzles which are controlled by a controller. Several nozzles for different colors can be arranged side by side in the print head, whereby a multi-color print is possible.
- the printing plane usually corresponds to the horizontal. Because of the feed, the substrate must be flexible at least in the longitudinal direction.
- flatbed printers are also known.
- the substrate is clamped in a bed, the printing table.
- the print head is attached to a cross table, whereby the print head itself in the two directions of a Level is movable.
- the dimensions of such cross tables are finite and can not be increased arbitrarily, since the axes of the cross table can be stored only at their end points and still have to have a minimum stability. Even with flatbed printers, the substrate is supplied to the printer.
- the spacing of the printhead in the spatial direction i. perpendicular to the plane spanned by the x- and y-direction and here and in the following called z-direction, constant and precisely defined. This distance is important to get a clean print image.
- the ink nozzles are focused on this distance.
- Substrate for example, the wall of a room or building to print.
- Inkjet printers which are in one direction, here and hereinafter named vertical direction or y-direction, movably mounted on an axis.
- This axle is mounted on a chassis with the chassis in one direction
- the printing principle corresponds to that of the large format printer described first:
- the vertical direction of the print head is realized by its up and down movement in the y direction, while the horizontal direction is realized by the movement of the chassis in the x direction.
- the printhead now prints a vertical web with a y-directional extent defined by the printhead, i. with a web width in the horizontal direction. For printing one in a horizontal direction
- the chassis is moved in the x-direction past a wall, while the printhead dwells in the upper or lower end position.
- Rail system that bridges such bumps.
- the disadvantage of this is that the rails must be designed and aligned, which means effort, and on the other hand for long walls to be printed long rails are required, which increases the transport cost of the wall printer to a job site, increases the cost of the wall printer and turn the Increased printing effort.
- the y-axis consists of a profile of a finite length of typically 2 m, the printhead movement being along this axis via a toothed belt.
- the length of the y-axis is initially not extendable or only with great effort.
- the attachment and design of the stability of the y-axis is designed for this length, so that a
- ultrasonic sensors known. These sensors are mounted on the printhead and therefore are only able to detect the distance in real time, ie the moment the printhead is in place. A readjustment based on such a measurement can only be very imperfect because of the dead time between measurement and readjustment.
- a wall can also have unevenness that can destroy the print head when it collides with them.
- the y-axis of known wall printers are mounted in the x-direction more or less centrally on the chassis, at least they are not mounted on an x-axis end of the chassis. Thereby it is not possible to print in a corner. In other words, more or less wide, non-printable strips remain in the corners of the room.
- the rails for the chassis are only straight laid, ie the printing of curvy surfaces is not possible. Also, today it is only possible to print on surfaces that print perpendicular to the ground on which the chassis drives. The printing of differently oriented surfaces, such as ceiling or floor surfaces is not possible. Especially right, it is not possible to print three-dimensionally shaped surfaces, such as vaulted ceilings.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a method for printing a large, in particular located on a non-feedable to a printing substrate large area specify that described above
- this object is achieved by a method having the features of independent claim 1.
- Advantageous developments of the method will become apparent from the dependent claims 2-6.
- the object is further achieved by a device according to claim 7.
- Advantageous embodiments of the device will become apparent from the dependent claims 8-13.
- the inventive method is suitable for printing a large, located on a non-feedable to a printing substrate substrate.
- Surfaces such as walls of buildings, trucks or railway carriages, surfaces on containers, etc., wherein the area to be printed in one direction in printing webs according to the printing width of a printhead is divisible and wherein the printhead on a first axis along a
- Movement web is movably mounted, the first axis is fixed to a horizontally movable in the x-direction chassis and the surface is printed by the sequential printing of the printing lines.
- the method is characterized in that the vertical distance A z0 of a reference point of the device determines at several points distributed over the printing web to the surface to be printed and the vertical distance A z of the print head from the surface to be printed at the points distributed over the printing web each one according to one previously recorded measured value.
- the multiple points can be distributed uniformly over the length of the printing web.
- the recorded measured values of each printing web can be stored in measurement series for each point measured along the printing web, wherein a trend is determined from the measured values of at least one measurement series, wherein a steering movement of the horizontally movable
- Chassis is triggered when the trend exceeds a previously defined threshold.
- a previously defined threshold For example, if the area to be printed is a vertical wall, for example a wall of a living space, substantially perpendicular to the floor surface on which the horizontally movable chassis moves, a steering movement of the chassis will be triggered as the distance of the wall from the undercarriage in the Changed during the movement of the chassis,
- the wall direction kinks or the wall describes a curve.
- the measured values of each measurement at a specific height are combined in the control device into measurement series and a trend is calculated. If the trend of at least one series of measurements exceeds a predetermined one
- Threshold changes is outputted by the control device, a steering pulse to the chassis, so that the distance of the chassis moves from the wall back into the previously defined corridor. In this way, it is possible to print on walls that follow a curve or whose course changes from a direction initially taken

- the distance A z of the print head In order to be able to set the distance A z of the print head at each location on the printing web so that it is always the same despite unevenness or, for example, non-vertical walls, the distance A z must be determined. This is done in a preferred embodiment without contact, preferably optically, for example with a
- the printing surface is set so that it always has the same distance A z , it can not collide, for example, with a roughness on this surface.
- the measurement is made via a reference point of the device.

- the reference point is moved together with the print head along a print path, so that the distance A z0 of the reference point to the corresponding print head positions is known.
- the reference point can be arranged in the horizontal x-direction next to the print head, so that the distance A z0 of the reference point from the surface to be printed precedes the print head when printing in one direction. This is the preferred printing direction.
- By anticipating the distance is already measured while the printhead still leaves the previous print path. This gives the control unit a time lead for the calculation of the print head distance A z of the surface to be printed.
- the first printing web is traversed without activating the print head at the beginning of a printing process, wherein the vertical distance A z0 of a reference point of Printhead at several distributed over the vertical print path points to the surface to be printed vorausilend to the worn off in the measurement
