Description

DESCRIPTION

Deposit of a printing device and a procedure for emptying an exchangeable tank of a printing device.

The invention relates to a deposit of a printing device according to the preamble of claim 1 and claim 2 and a method for emptying an interchangeable deposit of a printing device according to the features of claim 11.

10 Deposits are known for use in printing devices, in particular printing machines, for example, in inkjet printing devices for industrial applications and also in the domestic and office sectors. Such deposits are preferably tanks for service liquids of the printing device, in particular ink tanks and / or solvent tanks. In this case, deposits are often used with a stable external body in shape, which in its interior have at least one variable accumulating body in shape, the mayona 15 times in the form of a bag that contracts during an extraction of the liquid from corresponding service, for example during an ink extraction. The external bodies also frequently have other elements, for example, electronic circuits and accumulator devices through which information can be exchanged, for example, on the current filling level of the deposit and / or a type of content and / or information from the manufacturer and / or a date of manufacture, etc. With the printing device. Depending on the operating time, this data can be written up to date in this accumulator. In this way it is possible to issue, for example, a warning as soon as the amount in the deposit falls below a certain value, so that the user can replace the deposit on time with a new one.

In addition, the aforementioned outer body frequently presents, in particular in the case of printing devices in offices and / or in labeling systems in the industrial sector, additional devices, for example, electronic and / or fluidic devices, such as for example ink filters and / or nozzles with corresponding excitation devices, so that the outer body in connection with these additional devices represents a printing module suitable for operation, which can be operated, for example, through electrical control signals external

30

A similar printing module therefore has a non-insignificant complexity, so that both manufacturing costs and operating costs are relatively high, since in general the entire printing module is replaced and eliminated after the emptying of the deposit and in particular of the accumulator body.

35 Deposits in the simplest embodiment have, for example, only a stable external body in shape with a variable accumulator body in a shape located inside, for example a bag, and in addition thereto electronic devices for the exchange of information. In this way the complexity of the entire deposit is lower and therefore the manufacturing costs and operating costs are lower. Such deposits are also generally replaced as a whole after emptying.

40

Deposits in a still simpler form have, on the contrary, only a container that is either made as a stable body in form and in case of emptying requires additional devices for filling or is made as a body not stable in form, for example as bag, which requires a corresponding receiving device, configured in an expensive way to hold it.

Four. Five

A communication of the aforementioned electronic devices with a machine control of the printing device is generally carried out through electrical contacts, through which the current supply of the electrical device is made in the tank and the transfer of data between the deposit and printer control system. For this purpose, the receiver receiving device has, for example, a series of contact pins 50 that come into connection with corresponding contact surfaces in the deposit during placement and fixing of the deposit in the receiving device, whereby contacts are established electric In this regard, difficulties may arise in particular in the industrial use of printing devices or labeling devices, since the contacts on both sides are present at least partially protected, so there is a danger of oxidation of the metal surfaces and / or fouling of the contact surfaces by oil, dust, moisture or ink spills, which can lead to communication failure and therefore also to a failure state of the entire printing device. In particular, inks and solvents, as they are used for industrial applications, are partially very aggressive or have high adhesion on the most different materials, which leads to an increased cleaning expense in case of fouling of contacts with inks similar.

In addition, difficulties may arise because the mechanical orientation of the container with respect to the receiving device must be very precise, so that a precisely performed receiver apparatus is required and the fixing of the containers must be performed with a sufficient tightening force, by means of that the 5 contact surfaces are pressed against each other. This may be impaired in particular due to wear.

From US 2008/0186367 A1 a deposit of a printing device is known, the deposit presenting at least one opening, and presenting at least one surface element of an outer side of the container, opposite the opening, one normal to the opening. surface that signals in a first direction, and presenting the deposit at least one data module that has at least one sending and / or receiving unit for a contactless communication with at least one communication module of a printing device and being stored in the data module the data that can be read by at least one communication module of a printing device.

In US 2008/0186367 A1, a printing device is also known, the printing device presenting at least two receiving devices for a reception of a deposit respectively, and the printing device presenting at least one communication module, and presenting the at least one communication module at least one sending and / or receiving unit that is appropriate for a contactless data transmission between this sending and / or receiving unit and respectively at least one data module of a deposit and 20 presenting the device Print at least one duct system.

From EP 1 060 895 A1 a deposit of a printing device is known, the deposit presenting at least one data module having at least one sending and / or receiving unit for a contactless communication with at least one communication module of a printing device.

By JP 2001 106 217 A, US 5 234 130 A, WO 2007/006109 A1, DE 10 2006 022 477 A1, US 2001/0013884 A1, WO 99/04979 A1 and US 2003/0189623 A1 other deposits are known.

Inkjet printers that work continuously have a working principle in which an ink to be printed is extracted from a tank, for example, by means of a depression and is preferably transported through pumps with overpressure to a chamber of pressure preferably located in a print head, which has at least one nozzle on one side directed to the object to be printed. The ink first comes out of the at least one nozzle as a continuous ink jet that breaks down into individual drops. For this purpose, for example, at least one modulator element that generates pressure oscillations in the outgoing ink jet is placed in the pressure chamber, so that it is opened in similar individual ink drops in a short time at a defined distance. after the exit of the nozzle. The size of the ink drops depends, for example, on the frequency of modulation applied, the diameter of the nozzle and the pressure generated by the pump and can be adjusted within predetermined limits from the combination of the parameters mentioned for the system. Shortly before detachment of the ink droplets from the outgoing ink jet, the ink droplets are respectively provided with an individual electric charge, the charge level preferably depending on the desired incidence position on the object to be printed.

The ink has an electrical conductivity to guarantee the electric charge. During the charging process the ink drops still do not come off the ink jet that comes out of the nozzle of the inkjet printer, so that due to the electrical influence the charge carriers in the ink move towards the charging electrode or moving away from it according to the polarity and intensity of an external charging voltage, the ink chamber being maintained and consequently the ink reservoir, for example, electrically to the mass potential. In this regard, the charging electrode has no mechanical contact with the ink jet. If a drop of ink is now detached from the ink jet, while it is located in the area of the charge electrode field, then the electric charges that migrate due to the influence on the drops remain in the drop volume and this also It seems electrically charged after detachment out. A load separation takes place directly before the drop of the drop on the front edge of the ink jet and the load imbalance thus generated in the drop that arises is maintained and, in this example, the drop leaves the area of the negatively charged Charge electrode field. A quantity of charge remains in the detached ink drop, the magnitude of which is preferably in accordance with the level of the charge voltage applied in the case of a constant electrical conductivity of the ink. In the case of a modification of the load voltage, the amount of load in each drop can also be modified accordingly.

On its first straight flight, the electrically charged ink drops then enter the field

Electrostatic of a plate capacitor and deviate according to their individual charge more or less of their rectilinear trajectory and after leaving the electrostatic field they continue to fly at a certain angle depending on their charge with respect to their original trajectory. With this principle, different impact positions can be selected on a surface to be printed with individual ink drops, this being done in this embodiment only in one direction of deflection. For the suppression of individual eye drops or if it should not be printed, the ink drops

they obtain a fixed fixed load or remain unloaded, so that after leaving the field

Electrostatic plate condenser affects a collecting tube, from where they are pumped back to the ink tank through a pump system. In this way the unprinted ink circulates in the circuit, which has led to the designation of inkjet printers that work continuously.

10

The inks used for this have certain, required or desired properties, such as the mentioned electrical conductivity or a drying time as short as possible. In particular, a short drying time requires the use of volatile solvents such as liquid carrier in the ink. Solvents used are, for example, methyl ethyl ketone, alcohols, acetone or in general organic solvents. In this regard, it is conditioned 15 on principle that ink drops from the nozzle also come out in the non-printing operating state.

mentioned and only after a certain path are returned to the print head by inkjet

again through the collecting tube in the ink circuit. During their flight time along this route, the ink drops are exposed to ambient air, losing a part of their solvent due to the volatility of the solvent mentioned and used in the ink. Thus, during a longer operating time of the inkjet printer, the solvent fraction in the ink present in the ink circuit is continuously reduced, which leads to an increase in the viscosity of the ink and by consequently leads to a malfunction or a printer oatmeal. To avoid this, the ink is supplied continuously or at regular intervals or according to the need a certain fraction of solvent from a deposit provided for it. This occurs, for example, as long as a certain amount of solvent is supplied to the ink system 25 in a temporarily controlled manner or a certain amount of solvent is supplied according to need due to a viscosity measurement. For this, different pumps and / or valves and / or filters and / or measuring devices are provided in the ink system, which are put in different contact with each other according to need. Therefore, a wide placement of flexible tubes is required between the mentioned devices to guarantee functionality.

30

Usually the corresponding devices, such as pumps and / or valves and / or filters and / or measuring devices, are fixed on at least one base plate or one mounting plate. A flexible tube placement between the individual devices between them is usually carried out by corresponding flexible tube connections, which requires a non-insignificant time during manufacturing. In addition, the placement of flexible tubes 35 between the individual devices between them is prone to failure, which can lead to work.

Supplementary not insignificant. In addition, maintenance purposes are often required

configure at least separable hose connections determined separately, which leads to increased costs due to the connection elements to be used. In addition, often due to the space available in the housing of the inkjet printer, it is not possible to have all the devices accessible

40 optimal, which in case of maintenance can lead to expensive assembly work and therefore times

of considerably prolonged inactivity of the inkjet printer.

From JP 2001 106217 A a single wall deposit of a printing device is known, in which the deposit can be transferred from a first operating state to a second operating state by applying a depression in an interior space of the deposit, presenting an external body of the deposit in the second state of operation other than in the first state of operation. The deposit can be made of a polyethylene.

From WO 99/04979 A1 a single wall deposit of a printing device is known, which is purged in its interior space during emptying by a feeder conduit. The deposit is made, for example, of an HDPE.

Pressure fluctuations can occur in the duct systems of the printing devices due to the pumps used, which can have a negative effect on, for example, an ejection behavior of the service liquids, for example in the ink of Print that is ejected from an inkjet printhead. This is based on the fact that the most constant possible pressure ratios must reign in the inkjet printhead to ensure uniform operation. But pressure oscillations can generally extend from the corresponding pump to one end of the duct system, for example, to at least one printhead.

The invention has the objective of creating a deposit of a printing device and a method for emptying an exchangeable deposit of a printing device.

The objective is achieved according to the invention by means of the features of claim 1 and the features of claim 2 and the features of claim 11.

A preferred printing device, which has at least one duct system, the printing device presenting at least one base body having a first main side and a second main side, and presenting the at least one base body at least two steps which respectively connect at least one channel with the second main side of the at least one body, and being connected or being able to connect at least one ink tank and / or at least one solvent tank and / or at least one printhead by injection of ink and / or at least one coupling element for the deposit on the second main side of the at least one base body respectively directly and / or through at least one interconnected connecting conduit with at least one of the at least two passages of the at least one channel, and the at least one base body on its first main side having at least two channels through which at least one conduit of the at least one system is established respectively a of ducts delimited by the at least one base body, on the one hand, and at least one cover and / or at least one sealing element, on the other side, and being arranged and / or being able to arrange at least one other constructive element of the at least one duct system on the second main side of the at least one base body, and the at least one other construction element being connected and connected simultaneously with at least two steps that are associated respectively to different channels of the at least one Two channels, in particular, have the advantage that the printing device can be manufactured and operated economically and with easy maintenance, for example, since the tuben system completely or at least partially replaces the usual flexible tube fittings.

Another advantage is preferably that the at least one base body defines and configures not only the duct system, but also provides a connection system that can also serve as a receiving plate and / or mounting body or mounting plate for devices chemicals and / or other devices. Another advantage is that the base body can serve as a mounting body for at least one sheet carcass, which can preferably be folded and consequently releases, for example, the base body accessible from three sides.

Another advantage is preferably that a predefined, established and constructively optimized duct system is present through the at least one channel in the base body, which is less prone to failure than a flexible tube system. Elastic ducts that can become brittle and / or permeable are not necessary.

Preferably the at least one cover is reversibly connected, that is in particular separable, with the at least one base body. This ensures that the duct system can be made accessible, for example, for maintenance purposes.

If, as is preferable, the at least one channel is covered by at least one sealing element, thus

It establishes a conduit that does not need contact with the at least one cover. This offers the advantage that a selection of a material from which the cover is manufactured is wider and should not be adapted to the properties of the service liquid.

5 Another advantage of a printing device, in which the at least one base body has at least one compensation recess on its first main side, through which at least one compensation volume of the at least one system of compensation is established ducts delimited by the at least one base body, on the one hand, and the at least one cover and / or the at least one sealing element, on the other side, and that the compensation volume is connected to the second main side of the at least one base body through at least one step and that a volume delimited by the at least one compensation volume can be modified by compression and / or decompression of at least one damping body, is that they can be damped and / or reduce and / or completely avoid pressure pulsation caused by at least one pump within a service liquid within the pipe system. This preferably provides constant pressure ratios at an outlet of the tubenne system, for example in a printhead, in particular 15 inkjet printhead. In this way you can improve the quality of printed products.

A configuration, in which the at least one cover and / or the at least one sealing element is configured at least partially flexible in an area that delimits the volume of compensation and / or that the at least one damping body is arranged in a side of at least one cover and / or of the at least one sealing element 20 opposite the compensation volume and / or the at least one damping body is configured in a reversible deformable manner and / or the at least one damping body is arranged between the at least one sealing element and the at least one cover, offers the advantage of a particularly simple and therefore economical, but nevertheless effective, duct system structure.

25 A configuration, in which the compensation volume is configured as a compensation conduit and is connected with at least two steps and / or the compensation volume is connected to the second main side of the base body through at least two steps , which have cross-sectional surfaces of different sizes, offers the advantage that the damping takes place within an area of the duct system crossed in one direction, so that the service liquid located there is constantly replaced and / or 30 by a throttling can achieve an improvement in the effect of the damping body and / or a laminar flow behind the compensation volume.

The advantages obtainable preferably with the invention preferably consist in that the preferred deposit can be manufactured and handled in a very simple and economical manner and is not very prone to failures. Particularly from 35 the emitting and / or receiving devices arranged and / or used, there is preferably the advantage that a contactless exchange of signals and / or data is possible between an impression device and, essentially knowing insensitive regarding fouling. Preferably, a contactless exchange of signals and / or data between a deposit and an external communication device is also possible. Such an exchange of signals and / or data is preferably encrypted and is therefore insensitively protected against external disturbances and against tampering. An advantage of a preferred tank is that the tank allows a manufacturing and / or mounting position with precision less than when it presents contact surfaces for electrical contacts. An advantage of a preferred deposit is that the deposit can be filled and / or reused after an emptying, in particular since at least one data module of the container can be rewritten again with data.

Four. Five

A preferred deposit of a printing device, which has at least one opening, having at least one surface element of an outer side of the tank opposite the opening normal to the surface directed in a first direction, and taking the deposit by means of the application of a depression in an interior space of the deposit from a first operating state to a second operating state, and presenting an external body of the deposit in the second operating state other than in the first operating state, and deviating the direction from the normal to the surface of the at least one surface element of the outer side of the deposit in the second operating state at a maximum of 60 ° of a direction from the normal to the surface of the at least one surface element of the outer side of the deposit in the first operating state, in particular it has the advantage that in this surface element it can be provided a data module and / or a mark, the one or which can be read and / or written and / or selected in any of the two operating states.

A preferred deposit of a printing device, which has at least one opening and at least one outer body, at least partially comprising the outer body of the deposit of a mixture of an HDpE

(High Density Polyethylen, high density polyethylene), that is to say a polyethylene with a density between 0.94 g / cmA3 and 0.97 g / cmA3, on the one hand, and an LDPE (Low Density Polyethylen, low density polyethylene) , that is to say, a polyethylene with a density between 0.915 g / cmA3 and 0.935 g / cmA3, on the other hand, in particular has the advantage that this deposit can be reversibly modified and / or essentially with a development prescribed in its shape, so that in particular one can influence an orientation of at least one surface element of its outer side.

A preferred deposit of a printing device, which has at least one data module that has at least one sending and / or receiving unit for a contactless communication with at least one communication module of a printing device, the deposit being able to transfer by applying a depression in an interior space of the deposit from a first operating state to a second operating state and presenting an external body of the deposit in the second operating state other than in the first operating state, in particular it presents The advantage that the deposit can be economically manufactured, handled easily and yet is appropriate for an exchange of data with the printing device.

fifteen

By means of a preferred method for emptying an interchangeable deposit of a printing device, in which in the second operating state a perpendicular address of the at least one data module presents a second orientation that deflects at a maximum 60 ° of the perpendicular address of the at least one data module in the first operating state, it is always guaranteed that a communication of the data module with the printing device is possible.

A preferred printing device, which has at least two receiving devices for a reception respectively of a deposit, the printing device presenting at least one communication module, and presenting the at least one communication module at least one sending unit and / or receiver that is appropriate for a contactless data transmission between this sending and / or receiving unit and respectively at least one data module of a deposit, and each of the at least two receiving devices having at least one coupling element, and at least the two coupling components being connected to each other and with at least one inkjet printing head through at least one duct system for service liquids, in particular it has the advantage that by comparing data correspondingly, service liquids that do not adapt to each other can be prevented, such as different inks and / or inks and solders Not compatible with them, mix with each other in a common duct system and thus, for example, become unusable. This applies in particular to a preferred method for the operation of a printing device, inserting at least two deposits, which respectively have at least one data module, in at least two corresponding receiving devices of the printing device, and reading 35 by at least one communication module, the data of at least one data module of the at least two deposits respectively and a verification being carried out, by means of a machine control by means of at least the data read from the at least two modules, if it is A common use of the service liquids contained in the at least two deposits in the printing device is permissible.

40 Preferably, a deposit of a printing device is also particularly preferred, which has at least one data module in which the data that can be read by means of at least one communication module of a printing device is stored, containing the data stored in the at least one data module information on the settings that can be adjusted in the printing device when using the service liquid contained in the tank. This offers among others the advantage that the printing device 45 is always correctly adjusted, independent of the operators. This reduces a possibility of error and thus costs for downtime. For example, in the case of a modification of the components of one ink from one delivery to the next, the operator must not report new necessary adjustments of the printing device, but the corresponding adjustments are made automatically without errors by the device Print.

For example, this is shown in a preferred procedure for the operation of a printing device, inserting at least one deposit, which has at least one data module, in a receiving device of the printing device, and reading the data of the at least a data module of the at least one deposit by means of at least one communication module of the printing device, and verifying a machine control the settings 55 of the printing device by means of at least the lefdos data and / or modifying the settings of the printing device based on the lefdos data.

Preferably the at least one data module contains information on how often the deposit has already been inserted into a printing device. Then you can estimate, for example, how intense it has been

already damaged a cover of an opening and if another insertion of the container in the same or another printing device is permissible without a danger of lack of tightness.

Preferably the at least one data module is disposed on one side of the tank opposite the at least one opening of the tank, so that the communication devices of the printing device and the receiving devices of the printing device can be arranged spatially separated from each other. This prevents the dangers that arise when an electronic unit is placed around the possible exit points of the service liquids.

10 Preferably the at least one data module contains information on how much liquid has already been extracted from the tank. This is preferably the only information that can be written by a normal user, while all other information can only be read by a normal user, but written and read by a manufacturer. This guarantees comfortable and safe operation for the user and flexibility for the manufacturer.
