Abstract

UN SISTEMA DE SERVICIO DE AUTO-LIMPIEZA ROTATORIO (50;200) QUE REALIZA EL SERVICIO DE MANTENIMIENTO DE LOS CABEZALES DE IMPRESION DE CHORRO DE TINTA (34;36), EN UN MECANISMO DE IMPRENTA POR CHORROS DE TINTA (20). UNA ESTACION DE SERVICIO ROTATORIA (200) QUE TIENE UNA LEVA QUE SOPORTA UN TAMBOR (202), QUE ROTA SOBRE UN EJE (55) PARALELO A LA DIRECCION DE EXPLORACION DE LA CABEZA DE IMPRESION (41) PARA LIMPIARLA (34,36) ORTOGONALMENTE A LO LARGO DE LA LONGITUD DE UNA SERIE DE INYECTORES LINEALES (354;355). UNA LEVA DE DOBLE HOJA (210,212) QUE TIENE UNA PUNTA BIFURCADA DE BARRIDO (230,232) CON SUPERFICIES DE BARRIDO SEPARADAS POR SEGMENTOS RETRAIDOS (234). LA LEVA EXPULSA TINTA A MECHAS (370) DE UN INYECTOR (352) Y LA ARRASTRA A LO LARGO DE UNA SERIE LINEAL (354,355) A OTROS INYECTORES PARA LUBRICAR LA PIEZA DE PLUMA (350) Y PARA DISOLVER CUALQUIER RESIDUO DE TINTA ACUMULADO. CUALQUIER GRUMO DE TINTA SALE A TRAVES DE LOS SEGMENTOS RETRAIDOS DE LA PUNTA DE BARRIDO (234,236,238) Y SE APARTA DE LOS INYECTORES. UN SISTEMA DE RASPADO DE LEVAS OPCIONAL (250) PIVOTA A TRAVES DE UNA UNION DE LEVAS (270,272,274,275) CON EL TAMBOR (202), PARA UNIRSE SELECTIVAMENTE Y RASPAR (260,262) LAS LEVAS (220,222,216,218). TAMBIEN SE PROPORCIONA UN METODO PARA LIMPIAR UN CABEZAL DE IMPRESION DE CHORRO DE TINTA (34,36) PARA MANTENER EL BUEN ESTADO DE LA PIEZA DE PLUMA, PARTICULARMENTE PARA PIEZAS DE PLUMA QUE UTILIZAN TINTAS COMPUESTAS DE PIGMENTOS DE SECADO RAPIDO.
