Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a printer with a print head by dot matrix with a wire matrix and more particularly such a printer comprising a print head removably mounted on the support of the printer head.
  • Wire matrix dot printers are well known in the prior art. They generally include a print head with a matrix of threads mounted in a carriage which allows its lateral movement. The printer furthermore comprises a paper handling device allowing the paper to be fed, either in sheets or in continuous strip, around the platen. The print head moves laterally in front of the paper, either step by step or at constant speed. It has several thin wires, for example eight. One end of each wire is connected to an actuator which can be energized to drive the wire forward. The other wire ends are aligned vertically in the vicinity of the plate. The ink ribbon is disposed between the ends of the wires and the paper so that when an actuator is energized, a wire is driven forward and strikes the ribbon against the paper on which a dot is printed.
  • characters can be printed by the wires on the paper in a manner well known to those skilled in the art.
  • a thread matrix dot print head is described for example in patent FR-A-2 253 629 and means controlling it for printing alpha-numeric characters are presented in patent FR-A-2 374 691.
  • patent US-A-3 987 883 the description of the mounting of the print head in the printer.
  • a problem encountered in wire matrix printers is that of removing the printhead from the device holding it in place in the printer. After a period of use, the print head becomes unusable due, for example, to the breakage of one of the print wires, and the entire head must be replaced.
  • printers of the prior art such as that presented in patent US-A-4,987,883
  • the print head is fixed to a cradle. If the print head itself needs to be replaced, it is necessary to remove the complete assembly formed from the head and the cradle. It would be better to be able to remove the head alone and replace it, which would save the cost of replacing the cradle.
  • a solution to such a problem is already described in US-A-3,960,255.
  • FIG 1 is a perspective view of a printer 10 having a print head 12 made according to the teachings of the present invention.
  • the printer 10 comprises a ribbon holder 14 which ensures the passage of the ink ribbon in front of the print head 12.
  • the printer 10 comprises a platen 16 disposed on the side of the ribbon opposite to the print head 12.
  • the printer 10 also includes a paper feeding system 18 comprising two drive elements 20 which feed the paper or any other recording medium around the plate 16 and in front of the print head 12 to allow printing. characters on paper.
  • the recording medium can consist of a continuous strip of paper with perforated marginal strips, entrained in the supply system 18 by the elements 20, or consist of sheets of paper introduced behind the plate 16 and driven by pressure rollers when the plate 16 is rotated.
  • the movement of the paper in the feed system 18 is controlled by stepping motors (not shown) which respond to electrical signals.
  • the printing of the characters on the paper is caused by the actuation of one or more threads of the print head 12 in order to cause their movement forward and the striking of the ribbon against the paper which is held firmly by plate 16. Then the wire is unconditioned and returns to its initial position, leaving a dot printed on the paper.
  • the print head 12 moves from the left margin to the right and the wires are actuated so as to cause the printing of adjacent dots which form characters on the paper arranged around the plate 16.
  • the print head 12 comprises eight thin wires arranged so as to cause the printing of adjacent dots which form characters on the paper arranged around the plate 16.
  • the print head 12 comprises eight thin wires arranged in a vertical column on the side of the head 12 closest to plate 16.
  • One end of the seven upper wires of the vertical column is used to print the characters while the remaining lower wire is used for underlining.
  • the opposite ends of the wires are connected to eight individual actuators mounted in a circle.
  • the actuators of the print head 12 are protected by a cover 22.
  • the print head 12 is described in detail in the patents FR-A-2 253 629 and US-A-3 987 883 cited above.
  • the print head 12 is driven from left to right and from right to left along the plate 16 on two rails 26 and 28 by a stepping motor (not shown) connected to a set of pulleys and belts 24.
  • a single line of characters is printed when the print head 12 moves from the left, as seen in Figure 1, to the right. Then, the plate 16 is rotated to advance the paper by a line spacing and the print head 12 is brought back to the left in its position of FIG. 1. During its movement from right to left, a second line of characters is printed on the paper, and the characters are as shown in Figure 2. Since the threads must be physically separated from each other to avoid wear and deterioration, the printed dots are also separated from each other.
  • the horizontal spacing of the points is determined by the speed of the print head 12 when it travels laterally through the plate 16 and by the rate of excitation printing wire actuators.
  • FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 show a printhead assembly 12 which includes the printhead itself 30 similar to that presented in the patent FR-A-2 253 629 cited above and which rocks in a cradle or support 32.
  • FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 are respectively perspective, top and side views of the print head 30 and its cradle 32.
  • the print head 30 comprises eight arrangements actuating elements 36 which can be of the type described in patent FR-A-2 253 629 cited above.
  • the actuating devices 36 each control a particular printing wire 38 and are arranged in a circle behind the print head 30.
  • the wires 38 are guided in vertical alignment in the housing 40 of the print head 30 and open out along a vertical line at the front 42 of the head 30. Each of them must be physically separated at all points from neighboring wires to avoid their wear and deterioration which could be caused by their friction.
  • the printed circuit panel 44 is placed between the actuating devices 36 and the housing 40 of the printhead 30, and the printed wires of this table connect each of the actuating devices 36 to the connector 46.
  • the print head 30 is mounted in the head support or cradle 32 by means of two support elements 48 and 50 and this assembly will be described in more detail later.
  • the head support or cradle 32 comprises an oil reservoir 52, the top of which is extended by an ear 54.
  • the cradle 32 also comprises two pivot axes 56 and 58 fixed in its sides.
  • a finger 60 having a cylindrical section portion 62 and a "diamond" section portion 64, the tips of which at the ends of the long diagonal are truncated, is fixed in the cradle 32 by a locking screw 66.
  • the diamond-shaped section portion 64 of the finger 60 has a vertical axis parallel to the aligned wires 38 of the head, which is longer than its horizontal axis.
  • FIGS 7, 8, 9 and 10 show how the print head 30 is mounted in the cradle 32 via the support elements 48 and 50 which will now be described.
  • the cradle 32 has four legs, three of which, the legs 68, 70 and 72 are shown in the figures.
  • the legs 68 and 70 are lateral legs located on the left side when facing the direction of actuation of the wires and the leg 72 as well as the one which is not shown and which is similar to the leg 70, are the two straight side legs of the cradle 32.
  • the legs 68 and 72 constitute the two front legs while the leg 70 and the leg not shown, constitute the two rear legs.
  • Each of the legs 68, 70 and 72 has a passage 74.
  • each of the support elements is of cylindrical section with the exception of the support element 50 whose part 76 crossing the passage 74 of the leg 68 has a diamond-shaped section, its long vertical axis being parallel to the line of the wires 38.
  • the part 76 with diamond-shaped section aims to minimize alignment problems during the manufacture of the cradle 32.
  • the support elements 48 and 50 can be arranged in the passages made in the front legs 68 and 72 with a relatively large clearance compared to what it would be in the case of a part 76 which would be cylindrical.
  • the lateral play of the print head 12 is not as critical as the vertical play since the head 12 only rotates at a very small angle corresponding to half the center to center distance separating the adjacent printed dots.
  • Each of the support elements 48 and 50 has a conical front end 78 which is housed in a corresponding conical recess of a first receiving element 80.
  • the element 80 is made integral with the housing 40 by an arm 82.
  • the part of the elements of support 48 and 50 included between the passages 74 of the lateral legs such as the legs 68 and 70 of Figures 8 to 10, comprises a stop 84 and a spring 86 which is arranged between the rear legs, such as the leg 70, and the stop 84.
  • the stop 84 is placed on the support elements 48 and 50 so that, when the print head 30 is mounted in the cradle 32, it is applied against the front legs 68 and 72 by a flexible means in the form of spring 86.
  • the rear end of the support elements 48 and 50 has a cylindrical section 88 of reduced diameter relative to that of the main part, and integral with the latter.
  • the rear end of the support elements 48 and 50 is introduced into a housing formed in the rear receiver block 90 constituting a second reception element and, connected to the circuit board 44 which is itself connected to the housing 40.
  • An insulator 92 is provided at the bottom of the housing of the receiver block 90 to isolate the printed circuit panel 44 from the support elements 48 and 50. These are introduced into the receiver block 90 by pressing a flexible spring-shaped element 94.
  • the length of the support elements 48 and 50 is less than the distance separating on the one hand the bottom of the conical housing of the element 80 and, on the other hand, the bottom or the rear part of the block 90, so that the spring 94, when it is placed between the insulator 92 and the rear end 96 of the main part of the elements 48 and 50, exerts a force against the housing 40, which keeps the conical end 78 in the conical housing 80.
  • Each of the support elements 48 and 50 further comprises a hole 98 machined in its center so that said hole is disposed in the passage 74 of the rear legs of the cradle 32, for example in the leg 70, when the support elements 48 and 50 abut and rest on the conical housing 80 and that the spring 86 is extended to the maximum.
  • the hole 98 can be exposed by moving the print head 30 and the support elements 48 and 50 rearward relative to the cradle 32, which compresses the spring 86. This operation can be carried out quickly. using the handle 97.
  • the first step is to push back the print head 30 and the support elements 48 and 50 while maintaining the cradle 32 in the position of FIG. 9, which compresses the spring 86 and exposes the hole 98. Then a pin 100 is introduced into the hole 98.
  • the housing 40 and the support elements 48 and 50 are then driven forward by the force exerted by the spring 86 and brought into a position such that the pin 100 bears against the rear legs 70 of the cradle 32. Then , as seen in Figure 10 , the housing 40 is pushed forward while the support elements 48 and 50 are held in a fixed position by the pin 100 which bears against the rear legs 70; this forward movement is sufficiently large to cause the withdrawal of the conical end 78 of the support elements of the conical housings 80. This position is shown in solid lines in FIG. 10. During this movement, the spring 94 is compressed and the rear end 88 of the support elements 48 and 50 moves towards the insulator 92 situated in the rear receiver block 90.
  • the complete housing is moved downwards, as indicated by arrow 102, so that the housing conical 80 is in position 80A.
  • the spring 94 returns to its normal state, thus driving the housing in the direction indicated by the arrow 104, which causes the conical housing 80 to pass into position 80B.
  • the support elements 48 and 50 have been released from the rear receiver unit 90 which is now in position 90B and the print head 32 can be removed by lifting the rear side of the housing 40 and releasing it from the cradle 32 while removing the front side 82 from under the support elements 48 and 50.
