Definitions
- the invention relates to a precision guide for the electrodes of a multi-electrode writing head for metal paper printers, consisting of a guide part with grooves running parallel to one another, the electrodes receiving grooves, from the flanks of which the electrodes are guided laterally, and a cover part placed thereon.
- Electrode print heads for metal paper printers are known in various designs. Among other things, you have to ensure a certain mutual distance between the electrodes and - if abrasion problems of the electrodes are to be taken into account - to provide a way to guide the electrodes.
- the electrodes seen in cross section, do not protrude beyond the grooves, that the cover part near the point where the electrodes emerge from the write head has a recess which runs transversely to the longitudinal axis of the electrode and in which an elastically deformable, non-conductive Element is arranged, the areas lying on the guide part are deformed and that protrudes into the grooves, fixing the electrodes located therein, and allows the electrodes to be tracked in the direction of their longitudinal axis.
- the solution according to the invention has the advantage that the electrode is fixed in its position in the guide groove, even if its diameter should fluctuate due to predetermined tolerances. It rests on the groove flanks and cannot move sideways. Furthermore, it is possible, by appropriate dimensioning of the elastically deformable, non-conductive element, to ensure that the electrode lies against the groove flanks in a large longitudinal section of the groove guide. For this purpose, only the elastically deformable element needs to have a dimension in the direction of the electrode longitudinal axis which is of the order of magnitude of this longitudinal section.
- US Pat. No. 2,718,450 describes a guide in which electrodes guided in grooves are pressed down by a rubber roller lying transversely to them. Seen in cross-section, however, the upper parts of the electrodes stand out of the grooves.
- the rubber roller has such a frictional contact with the protruding parts of the electrodes that it can advance the electrodes in the grooves upon rotation.
- the rear end of the electrode protrudes from the groove guide and its end near the write.
- a spring-loaded contact ball is provided for making an electrical contact. The spring force for this ball presses the electrode against the rubber roller.
- the electrode At its front, near-writing end, the electrode lies tangentially on a record carrier guided over a roll.
- This roller can be pivoted against the electrode in order to generate a corresponding contact pressure.
- the position of the electrode in the groove is determined by three points: the front edge of the electrode guide, the rubber roller and the contact ball. This does not result in the electrode resting on the groove flanks along the entire groove length.
- the electrode In the swiveled-in state of the roller, in order to achieve a contact pressure of the electrode on the recording medium, as is required for a secure recording process, the electrode is pressed somewhat out of the front part of the groove against the rubber roller. This results in the possibility of an undesirable lateral movement of the electrode in its groove guide.
- the precision guide 1 consists of three main parts: a guide part 2, a cover part 3 formed by a cover and a flexible element 5 running in a recess 4 of the cover part 3. Furthermore, it can be seen from Fig. 1, that the guide part 2 is provided with a number of adjacent guide grooves 6 in which the electrodes 7 run. For the sake of clarity, some of these are guides grooves shown without associated electrodes. On the writing side, the cover part 3 and the guide part 2 are each provided with a bevel (8; 9).
- the resulting actual mouthpiece 10 of the precision guide has a design that accommodates the writing process, that is, it is slightly rounded both in the writing direction (direction of the double arrow 11) and perpendicularly to it (direction of the double arrow 12) in order to ensure perfect sliding and locking to prevent writing residue and dirt.
- Both parts, both the cover part 3 and the guide part 2 are fixed in their outer position by appropriate stops and supports (not shown).
- the cover part 3 can be fixed on the guide part 2 by simple locking screws. Other fixing and fastening options are conceivable.
- This precision guide can be used in particular in a device for tracking electrodes, as described in German patent application P 2758150.6.
- the electrodes 7 running in the grooves 6 can be tracked in the direction of the arrow 13 indicated by the dashed line if the wear is corresponding.
- the device for tracking the electrodes is not the subject of the invention, it is therefore not described in more detail.
- the cross section of the electrodes does not protrude over the grooves with their upper part; they basically have a lateral range of motion within the groove.
- the element 5 designed as a flexible holding tube is provided, which runs in a recess 4 of the cover part 3.
- This recess 4 has a prismatic shape; it is transverse to the direction of the electrodes.
- the elastic flexible holding tube made of electrically non-conductive material is preferably made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
- PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene
- This holding tube has such a dimension that it is deformed when the precision guide is assembled at points A, B and C (see sectional view in FIG. 3) in such a way that the lower part of the holding tube (deformation area C) is open the electrode 7 running in the guide groove 6 acts and holds it in a fixed position without lateral freedom of movement (FIG. 2). This ensures that the electrodes 7 are guided in the individual grooves 6 without lateral freedom of movement.
- the flexible holding tube which is preferably made of PTFE, has the property that it is possible to track the electrodes in the assembled state of the precision guide.
- the reason for this is the corresponding surface properties of the holding tube (sliding friction).
- Guide part 2 and cover part 3 must be made of a non-conductive material for understandable reasons so that the individual electrodes remain isolated from each other. Ceramic is preferably considered for such a material, but solutions are also conceivable in which electrically conductive metals are rendered non-conductive by appropriate surface treatment in the area of their surface.
- FIG. 2 shows an enlarged partial sectional view of the precision guide according to FIG. 1 according to section line XX. The position of the individual electrodes 7 within their guide grooves 6 can be seen from this illustration. These guide grooves have a simple triangular shape. It can be seen how the element 5 designed as a holding tube is pressed slightly into these grooves and touches the electrodes 7 in the upper part and fixes them in their position within the grooves.
