Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for printing a large area, in particular a large area located on a substrate that cannot be fed to a printing device.
  • a large area located on a substrate that cannot be fed to a printing device.
  • Examples of such surfaces are building walls, walls of trucks or railway wagons, surfaces on containers or even entire side walls of ships.
  • the FR 2 601 265 A1 describes such a method in which the print head is movably attached to a first axis along a printing path, the first axis being attached to a frame movable in the horizontal x-direction, and wherein the surface is printed by the sequential printing of the printing paths.
  • the vertical distance of a reference point of the device is determined at several points distributed over the printing path to the surface to be printed and the vertical distance of the print head from the surface to be printed is set at the points distributed over the printing path according to a previously recorded measurement value. Similar processes are also shown by FR 2 735 420 A1 and the EP 2 644 392 A1 .
  • Inkjet printers are widespread, the color to be applied being an ink which spray ink drop by drop onto the substrate via nozzles that are controlled by a controller.
  • nozzles that are controlled by a controller.
  • Several nozzles for different colors can be arranged next to one another in the printhead, with which multicolor printing 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 stretched in a bed, the printing table.
  • the print head is attached to a cross table, which makes the print head itself in both directions Level is movable.
  • Level is movable.
  • the distance between the printing head in the spatial direction i.e. orthogonal to the plane spanned by the x and y directions and here and below called the z direction, constant and precisely defined. This distance is important to get a clean print image.
  • the ink nozzles are focused at this distance.
  • printers have become known with which it should be possible to print on walls.
  • These printers use print heads from commercially available inkjet printers, which are attached to an axis so as to be movable in one direction, here and in the following named vertical direction or y-direction.
  • This axis is fastened to a chassis, the chassis being movable in a direction essentially orthogonal to the vertical direction, here and hereinafter referred to as the horizontal direction or the x-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 path with an extension in the y-direction given by the printhead, i.e. with a web width in the horizontal direction.
  • the chassis is moved past a wall in the x-direction while the print head remains in the upper or lower end position.
  • the y-axis consists of a profile of a finite length of usually 2 m, the print head movement along this axis taking place via a toothed belt. This means that the length of the y-axis cannot initially be extended, or can only be extended with great effort.
  • the fastening and design of the stability of the y-axis is designed for this length, so that an extension of the axis would lead to a very unsatisfactory print image due to mechanical instability and associated fluctuations in the x and z directions of the y axis.
  • the walls of buildings are rarely aligned exactly perpendicular to the ground, but are usually inclined relative to the ground.
  • the inclination is only small angular dimensions of a few degrees. Above a room height of usually around 2.50 m for residential buildings and significantly more for commercial buildings, however, a 1 ° inclination already makes a difference of more than 4 cm, which means that the print image is very different in terms of contour sharpness between the bottom end and the top end.
  • ultrasonic sensors to measure for subsequent tracking of the distance between the print head and the wall. These sensors are attached to the printhead and are therefore only able to detect the distance in real time, ie at the moment when the printhead is at the relevant point. 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 printhead if it collides with them.
  • the y-axes of known wall printers are more or less centrally mounted on the chassis in the x-direction, at least they are not mounted on an end of the chassis located in the x-axis. Thereby it is not possible to print into a corner. In other words, more or less wide, non-printable strips always remain in the corners of the room.
  • the rails for the chassis can only be laid straight, ie it is not possible to print on curved surfaces. Also today it is only possible to print on areas that are perpendicular to the floor on which the chassis is running. It is not possible to print on differently oriented surfaces, for example ceiling or floor surfaces.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a method for printing a large area, in particular a large area located on a substrate that cannot be fed to a printing device, which avoids the limitations and disadvantages described above.
  • a further object of the invention is to specify a device for carrying out the method.
  • this object is achieved by a method having the features of independent claim 1.
  • Advantageous developments of the method emerge from the subclaims 2-6.
  • the object is also achieved by a device according to claim 7.
  • Advantageous embodiments of the device emerge from the dependent claims 8-13.
  • the inventive method is suitable for printing a large area located on a substrate that cannot be fed to a printing device.
  • Areas such as the walls of buildings, trucks or railroad cars, areas on containers, etc., wherein the area to be printed can be divided into print paths in one direction according to the print width of a print head and the print head on a first axis along a print path in vertical y-direction is movably attached, the first axis is attached to a movable chassis in the horizontal x-direction and the surface is printed by the sequential printing of the vertical printing paths.
  • the orthogonal distance A z0 in the horizontal z-direction, which is orthogonal to the horizontal x-direction, of a reference point of the device at several points distributed over the vertical printing path to the surface to be printed is determined, and the orthogonal distance A z of the print head of the area to be printed at the points distributed over the vertical printing path, corresponding to one previously recorded measurement value is set.
  • the multiple points can be evenly distributed over the length of the vertical printing path.
  • the recorded measured values of each vertical print path are stored in series of measurements for each point measured along the print path, with a trend being determined from the measured values of at least one series of measurements, with a steering movement of the horizontally movable chassis being triggered when the trend exceeds a previously defined threshold exceeds.
  • the surface to be printed is, for example, a wall that is essentially perpendicular to the floor surface on which the horizontally movable chassis moves, for example a wall of a living room
  • a steering movement of the chassis is triggered when the distance between the wall and the chassis is approx The course of the movement of the chassis changed, for example because the wall direction bends or the wall describes a curve.
  • the measured values of each measurement at a certain height are combined into series of measurements in the control device and a trend is calculated. If the trend of at least one measurement series changes above a previously defined threshold, the control device outputs a steering impulse to the chassis so that the distance of the chassis from the wall moves back into the previously defined corridor. In this way, it is also possible to print on walls that follow a curve or the course of which changes compared to a direction initially taken
  • the device for carrying out the method has a measuring device for contactless measurement of the distance between a reference point of the device and the surface to be printed.
  • the device also has a control unit for evaluating the measured values and generating Control pulses for setting the distance A z of the print head from the surface to be printed on.
  • the distance A z of the print head With the setting of the distance A z of the print head from the wall to be printed, the problems of the prior art with regard to a clearly contoured print image are solved despite the not exactly planar and equidistant alignment of the surface to be printed with respect to the print head.
  • the distance A z In order to be able to set the distance A z of the print head at every location on the printing path so that it is always the same despite unevenness or, for example, non-perpendicular walls, the distance A z must be determined. In a preferred embodiment, this is done without contact, preferably optically, for example with a laser range finder.
  • the distance A z of the print head from the surface to be printed is set so that it always has the same distance A z , it cannot collide with an unevenness on this surface, for example.
  • the measurement takes place via a reference point of the device.
  • This reference point can be located, for example, on the first axis on which the print head is moved along a printing path.
  • 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 required print head position with regard to the distance A z from the surface to be printed can be determined via the known geometric relationships of the device.
  • a corresponding distance measuring device can be attached to the reference point.
  • 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 leads in one direction in front of the print head during printing. This is the preferred direction of printing. By rushing ahead, the distance is already measured while the print head is still scanning the previous print path. This gives the control unit a lead time for calculating the printhead distance A z from the surface to be printed.
