- Monitoring means have been described for monitoring the operation of punches in punching equipment for punched tape wherein each punch is associated with an electromagnet having a magnetic circuit which includes the punch when the latter is in position of rest. Each punch is provided with slots so arranged that they change the flux in the magnetic circuit inducing a voltage pulse in the coil of the electromagnet whenever the punch performs a given length of stroke. This voltage pulse indicates that the punch has in fact performed its stroke.
- This known type of monitoring means cannot be directly applied to a printer. For instance, unlike punching equipment for punched tape the number of hammers is far greater than the number of punches, usually ten times as great.
- the printing hammers are all crowded into a minimum of space, difficulties arise in finding room for additional electromagnets associated with the increased number of hammers.
- the aforementioned monitoring means requires the monitored elements to at least partly comprise magnetizable material. Hence this form of monitoring is not applicable to printing hammers made entirely of plastics. Plastics printing hammers are advantageous for several reasons, particularly because of their low weight, their quietness in operation and their low cost.

Monitoring means have been described for monitoring the operation of punches in punching equipment for punched tape wherein each punch is associated with an electromagnet having a magnetic circuit which includes the punch when the latter is in position of rest. Each punch is provided with slots so arranged that they change the flux in the magnetic circuit inducing a voltage pulse in the coil of the electromagnet whenever the punch performs a given length of stroke. This voltage pulse indicates that the punch has in fact performed its stroke. This known type of monitoring means cannot be directly applied to a printer. For instance, unlike punching equipment for punched tape the number of hammers is far greater than the number of punches, usually ten times as great. Moreover, since the printing hammers are all crowded into a minimum of space, difficulties arise in finding room for additional electromagnets associated with the increased number of hammers. Furthermore, the aforementioned monitoring means requires the monitored elements to at least partly comprise magnetizable material. Hence this form of monitoring is not applicable to printing hammers made entirely of plastics. Plastics printing hammers are advantageous for several reasons, particularly because of their low weight, their quietness in operation and their low cost.
This invention seeks to overcome these difficulties by providing each printing hammer or a part connected thereto with an actuating element which at or near the print position of the hammer operates an armature associated with the electromagnet operating or releasing the hammer to induce a voltage pulse in the coil of the electromagnet. Hence the electromagnets operating or releasing the hammers are also used to monitor the operation of the hammers, the need for additional monitoring magnets being eliminated.
The invention will be hereinafter more particularly described with reference to the drawings in which FIGS. 1 to 3 are three embodiments of the invention, each schematically shown,
FIG. 4 is a part of FIG. 3 in a different operational state and FIG. 5 is a block diagram of an embodiment of evaluating means associated with the electromagnet of the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 4.
In FIGS. 1 and 2 there is provided a printing hammer l operable by an electromagnet 12. A type carrier 13, an inking ribbon l8 and a paper platen 16 are located in front of the hammer for cooperation therewith. The electromagnet comprises a coil 33 and a core 8. Whenever a current flows through the coil 33 the core 8 attracts an armature 34 which faces the forward end of the core 8 and pivots on a pin 32. When deflected, the free end of the armature 34 propels the printing hammer 1 in the direction of an arrow marked F towards the type carrier 13 to which a type-face 14 is attached. The impact of the printing hammer on the type carrier causes the inking ribbon 18 to be pushed by the typeface 14 into contact with the paper 17 on the platen 16 to produce an impression of the type face on the paper.
Opposite the rear end face of the magnet core 8 is a second armature 7. One end of this armature 7 pivots on a pin 35 and the armature is urged by a spring 39 against the rear end face of the magnet core 8. The printing hammer has a wedge shaped projection 25 positioned on the hammer so as to strike the free end of the armature 7 abruptly deflecting it away from the rear end of the core 8 as the hammer strikes the type carrier 13 during the continued forward motion of the printing hammer I towards the paper platen 16. Owing to the resultant change in magnetic flux at the ends of the coil 33 a peak voltage is induced in the coil which can be used as a monitoring signal. This monitoring signal indicates that the printing hammer 1 has in fact propelled the type face 14 to the paper 17.
In FIG. 2 the armature 34 which operates the printing hammer 1 is connected by a hinge at 36 to a rightangled lever 37. This lever 37 works on a pivot pin 38. When the printing hammer 1 strikes the type carrier 13 the projection 25 strikes the free end of the lever 37, causing the armature 34 that had been attracted by the core 8 to be suddenly thrown off. Hence a voltage peak is induced at the ends of the coil 33, as in the previous example.
In FIG. 3 the shaft of the printing hammer 1 is slidably mounted in guide means 2 and provided with a wedge shaped projection 9 engaged by a hook-shaped end 30 of the armature 7 of an electromagnet 12, the printing hammer being thus kept in a cocked position against the thrust of a compression spring 3. The compression spring 3 exerts thrust in the direction of the arrow marked F towards the platen 16. The armature 7 is tiltable about a hinge 35 and is deflected against the action of a restraining spring 10 about said hinge when the magnet coil 33 is energized, thereby releasing the printing hammer 1 which is propelled by the spring 3 against the type carrier 13. The compression spring 3 is contained in a blind bore 29 in the hammer shaft between the inner end 4 of the bore and an adjustable screw 5 threaded in a rail 6 to permit the spring pressure of the compression spring 3 to be adjusted. The printing hammer 1, the electromagnet 12, the rail 6 and the guide means 2 are all attached to a common frame 11.
The printing hammer 1 is cocked by the back deflection of a cocking element 20 mounted in a bracket 19, a spring 21 on said cocking element engaging a projection 22 on the printing hammer 1 to retract it after a printing stroke against the thrust of the compression spring 3 until the armature 7 again engages the wedgeshaped projection 9. After cocking, the retracting element 20 returns into its former position.
Preferably the armature 7 is a two armed lever, one arm being formed with a hook-shaped end 30, whereas the other arm has an upward sweep at its end 31. This upswept end 31 is located in the path of a ramp 25 on the printing hammer 1. At the same time as the printing hammer l strikes the type carrier 13 the upswept end 31 of the armature 7 rides up the ramp deflecting the armature about its hinge 32 and thus pulling it away from the electromagnet 12. The result is the generation of a voltage pulse at the terminals of the magnet coil and this pulse is used to provide a monitoring signal indicating that the printing hammer has completed its stroke and that the impression has been made.
In order to avoid excessive force in deflecting the armature 7 away from the magnet the current for energizing the magnet 12 is so controlled tat the retaining force of the magnet at the instant of armature withdrawal is merely a fraction of the initial force of attraction of the magnet. For instance, this retaining force may preferably be only one-fifth to one-tenth of the initial force of attraction. The magnet coil 33 may comprise two windings of which one is for energizing the magnet and the other for the generation of the peak induction voltage.
FIG. 4 shows the printing hammer 1 at the instant of striking the type carrier 13. The armature 7 is still being held by the magnet, but during the continued movement of the printing hammer 1 towards the platen 16 it is forcibly pulled away from the magnet by riding up the ramp 25. When the printing hammer is cocked in a direction opposite to that indicated by the arrow F, the armature 7 will be kept in released position by the pull of the spring 10.
A monitoring device for a printing hammer is shown in FIG. and comprises a bistable storage element 26 and two amplifiers 27 and 28. The operating signal for a printing hammer is applied to its associated storage element 26 which in response thereto changes state. Consequently the magnet coil 33 is energized via the amplifier 27 and the printing hammer l is released (FIG. 3). The voltage pulse which is induced at the end of the hammer stroke is amplified in suitable manner in the amplifier 28 and resets the storage element 26. Before a fresh hammer operating signal is applied to the storage element 26 a check is carried out to determine if the storage element has been reset by the induced voltage pulse and whether the printing hammer has completed its movement.
In a line printer the storage elements 26 of the printing hammers together constitute a shift register, the hammer operating signals for each printing cycle being applied sequentially to the shift register. When the selected hammers have been released the induced peak voltages restore the corresponding storage elements to their former states. For example, whilst the printing hammers are being cocked a complete shift through the shift register may be used to check whether all the hammer operating signals have been cleared. For instance, should one of the storage elements still be in the operate state a warning signal may be produced.
