Definitions
- the invention relates to a dot matrix printhead for matrix printers with a bobbin which has spaced apart magnetic yokes, each of which is associated with an electromagnetic coil surrounding a magnetic yoke and a magnet armature attached to a resilient element, which is connected to the rear end of a printing needle, with its front end Pressure points can be generated on a record carrier by selective energization of the electromagnetic coils, and with a disc-shaped permanent magnet provided in the core region of the coil carrier.
- Such dot matrix print heads achieve printing speeds which are the same as those of slow line printers (600 characters per second) and are known to be considerably less complex than such line printers.
- needle print heads are inferior to line printers in terms of the service life, which is measured in millions of characters. Efforts are therefore being made to improve the relatively inexpensive dot matrix print heads for matrix printers in order to obtain a longer service life.
- the dot matrix printhead for matrix printers represents an object that has to be accelerated from zero speed to a constant speed and then decelerated again.
- the known object is also designed with respect to the magnetic circuit in such a way that the pole faces of two pole pieces lie in mutually perpendicular planes and are arranged closely adjacent to one another, that the armature is provided with corresponding surfaces parallel to the pole faces, and that a pair of crossed bending members is provided to form a pivot bearing for the armature and the pivot axis lies approximately in the plane of the pole face of the electromagnet, the armature being forced to move along a path which intersects the plane of the pole face of the electromagnet, as a result of which the permanent magnet contacts the armature in contact the pole face of the electromagnet and at a short distance from the permanent magnet pole piece.
- Such a magnet system may have certain advantages, but it intentionally contains several air gaps in the electromagnet.
- the training of the individual links is still very expensive, such as. B. training with crossed bending members to form a pivot bearing for the anchor.
- the invention has for its object to propose an even lighter needle print head for higher speeds combined with simpler manufacturing technology and high electrical efficiency.
- the coil carrier forms magnetic yokes in the number of printing lines even on the outer circumference or edge, that the magnetic yokes and the electromagnetic coils used form a flat surface with their respective outer sides with the disc-shaped permanent magnets arranged in an interior of the coil carrier that a disc-shaped, magnetizable cover, which is placed on the common flat surface and covers the electromagnetic coils, is provided, and that the magnet armature is opposite each for a printing needle on the cover of the electromagnetic coil.
- the better utilization of the magnetic fluxes is achieved in particular in that interruptions of the magnetic flux in the form of gaps filled with non-magnetizable material are provided in the disc-shaped, magnetizable cover with respect to the magnet armature.
- the gaps therefore limit leakage flux losses.
- Another measure to steer the magnetic fluxes into desired paths is that the magnetic armatures are arranged on the disk-shaped cover, covering at least the intermediate spaces.
- the non-magnetizable material in the interstices advantageously consists of solder or cast resin.
- the resilient element connected to the magnet armature is under bending prestress.
- Such an arrangement serves for easy adjustability during assembly, in which the basis for the proper functioning of the individual parts is created.
- the bending pretension is also a means of achieving a uniform firing of the individual needles.
- the coil carrier consist of a thin-walled base body produced by shape stamping and section-wise bending, in which the yoke legs are each below the bottom surface bent and bent up to a "U" with unevenly long yoke legs, the outer of which protrude above the floor surface.
- Such a bobbin can also be used for a non-circular arrangement of the printing needles or printing hammers. It is then provided for this that the coil carrier, the permanent magnet or the disk-shaped cover are each rectangular or round.
- a simplification compared to the prior art is achieved in that the side walls of the magnet armature are made of a material of sheet thickness, which is shaped into a rigid cross-section with a triangular plan.
- the needle printhead according to the invention is formed from merging functions of easier assembly, the stray fluxes to be avoided or their utilization and to save weight to the extent that the coil carrier, the permanent magnet and the disk-shaped cover are connected to one another in areas of flat surfaces touching one another. This results in a particularly compact design with the functional advantages mentioned.
- the needle print head has a coil carrier 1 which is further shaped on the outer circumference 2 to form magnetic yokes 3, such an approximately shell-shaped coil carrier 1 being able to be produced from soft iron sheet by pulling or pressing and punching and forming an interior 1 a.
- the magnetic yokes 3 protrude upward as approximately rectangular yoke legs 3a (FIG. 2) and are each surrounded by the associated electromagnetic coil 4.
- the permanent magnet 5 is located in the interior 1a.
- the end faces 3b and the end face 5a lie on a surface 6 of the same height, which can be created by adjusting the thickness of the permanent magnet 5.
- the screw 9 is magnetically separated from the permanent magnet 5 and from the coil carrier 1 via the insulating sleeve 10.
- the magnetic flux 11 is created around each electromagnetic coil 4, the magnet armature 12 being pulled into the position shown in FIG. 1.
- the pressure needle 13 is attached to the magnet armature 12. All Drucknadein 13 are guided in a mouthpiece 14 of the front housing part 8b.
- the magnet armature 12 is itself fastened to the resilient element 15.
- the resilient element 15 is in the drawn position so biased that when the solenoid 4 is energized, the magnetic field of the permanent magnet 5 is abruptly canceled, so that the mechanical force of the resilient element 15, the mass of the magnet armature 12 with that of the pressure needle 13 against the ( shoots not shown) shoots in direction 16, which rests on a platen (the platen usually consists of a pressure roller).
- each magnet armature 12 is constructed from light side walls 12a and 12b and connected to the magnet plate 17.
- the resilient element 15 is connected to the magnetic plate 17 by means of the screws 18a and 18b.
- the resilient element 15 is lever-shaped at its free end by means of the fastening screw 19 and the adapter 20 on the cover 7.
- the cover 7 is not in one piece, but consists of the inner plate 7a and the outer ring 7b, which form an intermediate space 21 between them.
- This space 21 is made of non-magnetizable material, such as. B. fusible link, casting resin, adhesive, ceramic or the like.
- the gaps 21 allow the magnetic flux to flow in precisely definable trajectories without disadvantageous stray fluxes.
- the coil carrier 1 is produced by stamping and then bending from flat sheet metal blanks.
- the coil carrier 1 therefore represents an economically producible, lightweight base body 1.
- the yoke legs 3a are bent down to below the base surface 1b and bent up to form a “U” with legs of unequal length, the outer ones of which project beyond the base surface 1b.
- the invention is not limited to a circular arrangement of the printing needles 13.
- the arrangement of the printing needles can also be long. parallel rows take place so that the yoke legs then also form parallel rows.
- the side walls 12a, 12b, the pressure needle 13 and the resilient element 15 are each connected to a unit by means of screwing, welding or soldering.
- the side walls 12a, 12b are also made of a material of sheet thickness, a rigid cross section 22 having a triangular outline 23 being formed.
