Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for printing from a printing unit of a franking machine, individually supplied, on at least one of the flat sides of the printing unit, driven by friction, passing flat items of mail such as envelopes, mailing bags, envelopes, cards, printed products or the like, guided in the conveying direction F on one side edge.
- a conveying device which grips the mail items at a front end in conveying direction F and which forms a conveying plane of a conveying gap / channel of the conveying device with a guide plate located on the underside of the printing unit and a conveying unit opposite the guide plate.
- the EP 1 183 154 B1 describes a franking machine with at least one print head of a printing unit for printing flat mail items that can be inserted or passed through, such as closed envelopes and postcards, which has a guide part protruding around the print head and opposite its mouth plane, one with the mailing objects between it and opposite one, around a guide part across the conveying direction arranged axes rotating conveyor rollers is assigned to a conveyor device transporting the items to be shipped, the conveyor device having two drive-connected ones which form a conveyor path with the guide part Has drive rollers which, viewed in the conveying direction, are arranged in front of and behind the print head and opposite one another against a drive roller, respectively.
- a shipping object detected in between which exerts a pressure, reversible counter-pressure roller.
- Such conveying devices require a high level of construction precision and precise coordination of the conveying rollers and the drive elements with one another, with the drive friction being interrupted between the conveying rollers, so that irregularities in the position and stability of the shipping objects can arise, which lead to imprecise printed images and impair control.
- a corresponding device for printing mail items according to the preamble of claim 1 is in the US2009 / 159405 A1 disclosed.
- the problem addressed by the present invention was to create a device for printing individually supplied mail items from a printing unit of a franking machine, which is characterized by a simple structure for reliable operation with tried and tested machine elements and components and is user-friendly and service-friendly.
- the object is achieved according to claim 1.
- the device is suitable for the arrangement of further traction means rotating in parallel.
- the upper run of the traction means and the opposite guide plate form a conveyor gap / channel in which the supplied mail items are guided.
- the upper run of the traction means which interacts with the guide plate, forms a section that rises (slightly) in the conveying direction F and opens into a conveying gap / channel which is used to precisely guide the transported mail items.
- rollers of the conveyor system are expediently mounted on the free end of a lever arm of the pivotable double lever and thus determine the position of the run of the traction means.
- the lever arms of a double lever are preferably connected to one another forming an acute angle, at right angles or differently therefrom, so that an optimal arrangement and function is created between the strands.
- rollers are jointly and evenly applied to the inside of a strand by means of spring force.
- the traction means have an adapted to the running grooves of the pulleys, a solid profile with a round cross-section made of an elastic material such as rubber or a rubber mixture that is suitable for tensioning.
- the strands of the traction means can be kept under tensile stress in the inoperative position and during operation when the shipping items are passing through.
- the rollers supporting the upper run form a conveying plane which is parallel to the conveying plane and which can be adapted to the thickness of the mail items passing through in order to change the conveying gap / channel.
- the cross-sectional height of the conveying gap / channel can be determined automatically by the thickness of a mail item supplied under the action of a spring force on the double lever.
- the traction means of the conveyor device are advantageously under tension under constant spring force, both in the operating and in the inoperative position of the conveyor device.
- the conveying circumferential area can be arranged on the front rollers in the conveying direction above the conveying circumferential area of the upstream deflecting rollers, so that the mail items continuously run onto the front section of the upper Trums can be done.
- the deflection rollers are preferably on the axes forming the machine frame mounted parallel shafts arranged transversely to the conveying direction F, at least one shaft being driven according to the transport speed of the mail items.
- An additional special meaning for a reliable functioning of the device consists in that the double levers which are pivotable in pairs between the shafts of the deflecting rollers, on transversely to the conveying direction F and parallel to each other, are pivotable to the traction means respectively. whose strands are stored assigned, whereby no additional space is required.
- the transverse rods can be arranged or respectively in a plane determined by the shafts of the pulleys of the traction means. be fastened in the machine frame.
- the lever arms of a double lever in the inoperative position can be distributed approximately symmetrically (evenly) on the plane defined by the crossbars, so that the lever arms of the double lever with the plane formed by the crossbars limit an approximately equal angle up and down , whereby an approximately even deflection / lifting of the strand up or down takes place when the mail pieces pass through.
- the traction means sections Two upper strands are each assigned a freely rotatable friction wheel, which is directed from above onto the mail items fed to the traction element sections and acts to stabilize regular transport of the mail items.
- the friction wheels can be set and adjusted in the conveying direction F behind the end edge of the transfer table above the traction element section for optimal detection of the mail items.
- this can be arranged with the printing head between two pairs of rollers above the conveyor unit.
- the upper run of the traction means in the conveying direction F parallel beads, respectively. channel-like depressions in the guide plate that have a slight deformation, respectively. broader coverage of the shipping items on the facing surface of the traction means.
- a further reduction in the friction on the underside of the guide plate can be achieved if support strips running parallel on both sides of the beads are attached to the underside of the guide plate.
- the transfer table that ends over the circumference of the deflection rollers is advantageously formed by recesses into which the traction means with their front ends for trouble-free Intervention.

- the guide plate 9 forms the horizontal transport plane 7, along which the mail items 4 arriving at the conveyor end of the transfer table 5 are picked up by a conveyor 11 of a conveyor device 12 at the front end 13 and transported by this under the printing unit 2 and the printing unit 2 continues along the transport plane leave.
- the conveyor 11 and the conveyor level 7 are at a standstill, respectively.
- Conveying channel 14 which extends at least approximately over the width of the conveying plane 7 and is delimited by a lateral guide 15 for positioning a mail item 4.
- the latter points in the effective area of the conveying strand 24, 25 of the traction means 18, 19 in the conveying direction F of the traction means 18, 19 assigned to them Corrugations 47 and channel-shaped depressions, in which the shipping items 4 are deformed by the traction means 18, 19 to the semicircular surface of the latter - not in contact with this - in order to optimally use the conveying effect of the upper run 24 of the traction means 18, 19 and to be able to largely exclude the friction of the mail items 4 on the large-area guide plate 6.
- the conveying mechanism 11 consists of at least two traction means 18, 19, which are spaced apart from one another around common horizontal axes on deflection roller pairs 16, 17 laterally spaced in the conveying direction F, and which each form a strand 24, 25 along the conveying plane 7 and opposite it.
- the traction means 18, 19 are preferably designed with a circular full cross-section and consist of an elastic material such as rubber or a rubber mixture, which give off a favorable coefficient of friction.
