Abstract
【解決手段】受けリザーバ内に溶融インクを受け入れることと、複数のリザーバのうちの受けリザーバへと開かれるものが溶融インクを受入れ、この間に複数のリザーバのうちの少なくとも1つの他のものが溶融インクを印刷機構へ計量分配するために開かれることを交互にすることと、リザーバ内のインクレベルに応じて溶融インクを印刷機構へ計量分配することを含む。

Description
Claims (4)
- 溶融インクを印刷機構へ送達するためのインク送達システムであって、
溶融インクを受け入れるための受けリザーバと、
前記受けリザーバと前記印刷機構と連通する溶融インク出口との間で流体連通するリザーバシステムとを備え、前記リザーバシステムは、
前記受けリザーバと連通する第1の取入れ口と前記溶融インク出口と連通する第1の吐出し口とを有する第1のリザーバと、
前記受けリザーバと連通する第2の取入れ口と前記溶融インク出口と連通する第2の吐出し口とを有する別個の第2のリザーバと、
前記第1の取入れ口と前記第1の吐出し口との間に配置されかつ前記第1の取入れ口を閉じる吐出し位置と前記第1の吐出し口を閉じる取入れ位置との間で移動可能な第1のシール部材を含む第1のバルブアッセンブリと、
前記第2の取入れ口と前記第2の吐出し口との間に配置されかつ前記第2の取入れ口を閉じる吐出し位置と前記第2の吐出し口を閉じる取入れ位置との間で移動可能な第2のシール部材を含む別個の第2のバルブアッセンブリと、
前記第1及び第2のバルブアッセンブリへ動作可能式に結合されかつ一方の前記シール部材が前記吐出し位置にありかつもう一方の前記シール部材が前記取入れ位置にあるように前記第1及び第2のシール部材を調和して動作させるべく構成されるアクチュエータアッセンブリとを含むインク送達システム。 - 前記アクチュエータアッセンブリは、前記第1のシール部材へ結合されかつこれを移動させるように構成される第1のアクチュエータと、前記第2のシール部材へ結合されかつこれを移動させるように構成される別個の第2のアクチュエータとを含む、請求項1に記載のインク送達システム。
- 前記第1及び第2のアクチュエータは各々対応する前記第1及び第2のシール部材へ細長いロッドによって結合される、請求項2に記載のインク送達システム。
- 前記第1及び第2のアクチュエータは各々、旋回可能式に支持されるロッカアームによって前記細長いロッドへ結合される液圧シリンダを含み、これにより、前記液圧シリンダの直線的移動は前記ロッカアームを回転させて前記細長いロッドを直線的に移動させる、請求項3に記載のインク送達システム。
