活字ドラム式プリンタ装置の概念図を示す。(2) Background of the technology, conventional technology, and problems In type drum printers, a hammer driven by a magnet strikes the ink ribbon, and when the hammer hits the printing paper between the ink ribbon and the type drum, the hammer hits the printing paper between the ink ribbon and the type drum. The type on the type drum located at is printed on the paper. FIG. 1 shows a conceptual diagram of a conventional type drum printer.
第1図において1が活字ドラムであり、2がインクリボ
ンであり、3がドラム回転軸であり、4が励磁コイルで
あり、5が印字ハンマーである。In FIG. 1, 1 is a type drum, 2 is an ink ribbon, 3 is a drum rotating shaft, 4 is an excitation coil, and 5 is a printing hammer.
一般にマグネットの励磁コイル4が励磁されてからハン
マー5が活字ドラム1を叩くまでの時間をフライトタイ
ムと称する。Generally, the time from when the excitation coil 4 of the magnet is excited until the hammer 5 hits the type drum 1 is called flight time.
このフライトタイムはマグネット、ハンマー5の製造上
のバラツキ等の原因によシ、きわめて多くのバラツキが
発生するのが通常であった。This flight time normally has a large amount of variation due to manufacturing variations in the magnet and hammer 5, etc.
そのため印字の打鍵むらが生じ、印字が用紙上で一直線
上に並ばず、読みすらいものになる欠点があった。This resulted in uneven printing, and the printing did not line up in a straight line on the paper, making it difficult to read.

本発明の目的は、活字ドラム式プリンタ装置において、
印字の1鍵ムラを修正し、もって印字ムラをなくシ、プ
リンタ装置の印字品質を向上させることにある。(3) Purpose of the Invention The purpose of the present invention is to provide a type drum type printer device.
To improve the printing quality of a printer device by correcting one-key printing unevenness and thereby eliminating printing unevenness.

トムラをなくしたことに特敵がある。(4) Structure of the Invention The present invention detects the keystroke timing of the magnetic hammer with an honest element on the type drum to obtain the keystroke timing of the magnetic hammer.Therefore, by automatically adjusting the magnet excitation timing, flight irregularities of the print hammer can be eliminated. There is a special enemy in losing the .
(5)発明の実施列 以下本発明の実施例を第2図にそって詳しく説明する。(5) Implementation sequence of the invention Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIG.

ットの励磁タイミングを自動的に修正するようにすれば
完全にフライトズレのない活字ドラムが得られる。In FIG. 2, steps 1 through 6 are as explained in FIG. 1. 6 is an excitation current source for the magnet. The excitation current dα6 is controlled by the control circuit 13, and causes the excitation current to flow through the excitation coil to excite the magnet. Reference numeral 7 designates a piezoelectric element on the drum, and when the hammer 5 hits it, it generates a current, which is sent to the control circuit 13 via the bus of the rotating shaft 3 and C8. The magnet control circuit 13 can know the actual hammer keying timing from the signal from the pressure element 7. From this timing, it knows the deviation from the flight time design and automatically adjusts the magnet excitation timing from the deviation signal. If you make the correct correction, you can obtain a type drum that is completely free of flight deviation.
第3図に本願の回路を中心とした自動印字調整機構を示
す。図で1は活字ドラム、7は圧電素子、9はブラシ、
10はカウンター、11は差分回路、12はメモリーで
ある。FIG. 3 shows an automatic print adjustment mechanism centered on the circuit of the present application. In the figure, 1 is a type drum, 7 is a piezoelectric element, 9 is a brush,
10 is a counter, 11 is a differential circuit, and 12 is a memory.
活字ドラムlK1行分の圧電素子7を各桁対応に埋めこ
み保守コマンドを作成する。A maintenance command is created by embedding the piezoelectric elements 7 for one line of the type drum lK corresponding to each digit.
保守コマンドの動作は1桁ずつ圧電素子7の部分を印字
し、装置の最大桁数まで動作を繰υ返す。The maintenance command operation prints the piezoelectric element 7 one digit at a time, and repeats the operation until the maximum number of digits of the device is reached.
この動作により各桁毎にマグネットを励磁した時制御回
路13からの信号で、カウンタ10のカウントアツプを
開始し、ハンマーが活字ドラム1の圧−素子フを打った
時、回転軸3.ブラシ9を介してカウンタ10をストッ
プする。When the magnet is excited for each digit by this operation, the counter 10 starts counting up in response to a signal from the control circuit 13, and when the hammer hits the pressure element of the type drum 1, the rotary shaft 3. The counter 10 is stopped via the brush 9.
その時のカウンタ10の値と標準フライトタイム値との
差分を差分回路11で取り、各桁毎に差分値をメモリー
12上に記憶する。その値を実際の印刷動作時の励磁時
間に反映させる。A difference circuit 11 calculates the difference between the value of the counter 10 at that time and the standard flight time value, and stores the difference value in the memory 12 for each digit. The value is reflected in the excitation time during actual printing operation.
即ち、保守用動作が終了し、通常O動作に移ると、印字
桁に対応して制御回路13はメモリー12よシ差分値を
読出し、その差分値分だけずらせだタイミングで第2図
の励磁電流源6を駆動する。That is, when the maintenance operation is completed and the normal O operation is started, the control circuit 13 reads the difference value from the memory 12 in accordance with the printed digit, and at a timing shifted by the difference value, the excitation current shown in FIG. power source 6.
これにより活字ドラムlに対するハンマーの打鍵タイミ
ングは各tiで同一となシ、同紙上では印字が直線状に
並び、印字品質が均一となって読み易くなる。As a result, the timing of the hammer hitting the type drum 1 is the same for each ti, and the printed characters are arranged in a straight line on the same paper, making the printing quality uniform and easy to read.
