Abstract

A printing platen particularly for matrix printers is comprised of an aluminum or synthetic body carrying a thin layer of a ceramic material, preferably aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, chromium dioxide or a blend thereof. Such a platen is sufficiently frictional and hard for withstanding the impact of high speed print hammers or needles.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Schreibwiderlager für Schreibmaschinen, insbesondere für Matrixdrucker. mit einem Auflagekörper, auf dem der Aufzeichnungsträger durch Reibung transportierbar ist,The invention relates to a writing abutment for typewriters, in particular for matrix printers. with a support body on which the record carrier can be transported by friction,

Derartige Schreibwiderlager, insbesondere Schreibwalzen, dienen der luftspaltfreien Auflage und ferner dem Antrieb eines Aufzeichnungsträgers in Vorschubrichtung, d.h. senkrecht zur Richtung der Schreibzeile. Der Transport von Einzelblättern oder von Endlosaufzeichnungsträgern, die jeweils aus Papier von einzelnen oder mehreren Lagen bestehen können, unterliegen jeweils unterschiedlicher Reibung.Such abutments, in particular platen rollers, are used for the air gap-free support and also to drive a recording medium in the feed direction, i.e. perpendicular to the direction of the writing line. The transport of single sheets or of continuous recording media, which can each consist of paper of one or more layers, are subject to different friction.

Die Schreibwiderlager in Schreibmaschinen und teilweise in Matrixdruckern transportieren den Aufzeichnungsträger über Gummiwalzen oder spezielle Kunststoffwalzen. Sowohl den Gummiwalzen als auch den Kunststoffwalzen wird ein hoher Friktionswert der Oberfläche zugeschrieben. Bei Matrixdruckern, deren Druckelemente aus Drucknadeln oder aus Druckhämmern mit besonderen Druckspitzen bzw. Druckkugeln bestehen, wird ein mit wachsender Schreibgeschwindigkeit größere Härtewerte der Oberfläche aufweisendes Druckwiderlager angestrebt. Es hat sich nunmehr gezeigt, daß bei härteren Schreibwidelagern, z.B. bei Aluminiumwalzen, der Friktionswert sinkt, so daß die Mitnahme des Aufzeichnungsträgers nicht mehr gewährleistet ist.The abutments in typewriters and partly in matrix printers transport the record carrier over rubber rollers or special plastic rollers. Both the rubber rollers and the plastic rollers are assigned a high friction value on the surface. In the case of matrix printers, the printing elements of which consist of printing needles or printing hammers with special pressure peaks or printing balls, a pressure abutment which has greater hardness values of the surface with increasing writing speed is sought. It has now been found that with harder pen bearings, e.g. in the case of aluminum rollers, the friction value drops, so that it is no longer possible to take the record carrier with you.

Nach dem Stand der Technik stehen sich daher Gummi- und Kunststoffschreibwiderlager mit höheren Friktionswerten und für niedrigere Schreibgeschwindigkeiten einerseits und Metallschreibwiderlager mit niedrigeren Friktionswerten und für höhere Schreibgeschwindigkeiten andererseits gegenüber. Bei weiter wachsenden Schreibgeschwindigkeiten ist daher die Qualität der Schriftzeichen durch die Härte des Schreibwiderlagers gesichert, jedoch nicht mehr der Transport des Aufzeichnungsträgers. Besondere Probleme entstehen hier beim Transport von Einzelblättern.According to the prior art, therefore, rubber and plastic writing abutments with higher friction values and for lower writing speeds on the one hand and metal writing abutments with lower friction values and for higher writing speeds on the other hand. If the writing speeds continue to increase, the quality of the characters is ensured by the hardness of the abutment, but no longer the transport of the recording medium. Particular problems arise here when transporting single sheets.

Der Vorschub des Aufzeichnungsträgers ist jedoch bei der extrem hohen Genauigkeit des Matrixdruckverfahrens und den exakten Papiervorschüben Grundlage für ein gutes Schriftbild.With the extremely high accuracy of the matrix printing process and the exact paper feeds, however, the advance of the record carrier is the basis for a good typeface.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein verschleißfestes Druckwiderlager für hohe Druckgeschwindigkeiten bei harten Anschlägen, bei hoher Oberflächenhärte und bei hohen Reibungsbeiwerten zu schaffen.The invention has for its object to provide a wear-resistant pressure abutment for high printing speeds with hard strokes, with high surface hardness and with high coefficients of friction.

Die gestellte Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß auf einem Grundkörper im Plasma- oder Flammspritz-Verfahren verarbeitbare Werkstoffe mit einer Schichtdicke von 0,01 mm bis 5 mm zu einem Körper mit äußerer Schreibwiderlageroberfläche, auf der der Aufzeichnungsträger anliegt, aufgebracht sind. Eine solche Oberfläche weist eine genügende Härte für das Schreiben mit hartem Anschlag, also auch im Matrixdruckverfahren, auf und eine extrem hohe Reibung gegenüber gängigen Aufzeichnungsträgern, z.B. solchen aus den unterschiedlichsten Papiersorten. Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen verschleißfesten Schreibwiderlager ist daher ein sauberes, leicht lesbares Schriftbild und ein sicherer Transport des Aufzeichnungsträgers auch bei hohen Schreibgeschwindigkeiten gewährleistet. Die erforderlichen Reibungsbeiwerte können außerdem durch variable Rauhtiefen eingestellt werden.The object is achieved according to the invention in that materials which can be processed in a plasma or flame spray process and have a layer thickness of 0.01 mm to 5 mm are applied to a body with an outer writing abutment surface on which the recording medium rests. Such a surface has sufficient hardness for writing with a hard stroke, i.e. also in the matrix printing process, and extremely high friction compared to common recording media, e.g. those made from the most varied types of paper. The wear-resistant abutment according to the invention therefore ensures a clean, easy-to-read typeface and safe transport of the recording medium even at high writing speeds. The required coefficients of friction can also be set using variable roughness depths.

Nach dem Grundgedanken der Erfindung kann eine Schreibwalze dahingehend wirtschaftlich und technisch einwandfrei gestaltet sein, indem der Grundkörper mittels im Plasmaverfahren aufgetragener oxidkeramischer Werkstoffe zu einem Körper mit außen genauem Kreisprofil geformt ist. Vorteilhafterweise kann ein Durchmesseruntermaß des Grundkörpers ausgeglichen werden.According to the basic idea of the invention, a platen roller can be economically and technically flawlessly designed in that the basic body is formed into a body with an externally precise circular profile by means of oxide ceramic materials applied in the plasma process. An undersized diameter of the base body can advantageously be compensated for.

Um die erfindungsgemäßen Wirkungen zu erreichen, ist es vorteilhafterweise bereits ausreichend, wenn die Schichtdicke des oxidkeramischen Werkstoffes gleichmäßig 0,020 mm beträgt.In order to achieve the effects according to the invention, it is advantageously sufficient if the layer thickness of the oxide ceramic material is uniformly 0.020 mm.

Die vorteilhafterweise auf einem Grundkörper zufriedenstellende Haftungseigenschaften aufweisenden, spritzbaren Werkstoffe werden -dahingehend ausgewählt, daß der oxidkeramische Werkstoff aus Aluminiumoxid, Titanoxid oder Chromoxid oder aus einem Gemisch dieser Werkstoffe besteht.The sprayable materials which advantageously have satisfactory adhesion properties on a base body are selected in such a way that the oxide-ceramic material consists of aluminum oxide, titanium oxide or chromium oxide or a mixture of these materials.

Die angestrebten Haftungseigenschaften sind vorteilhafterweise schon dann erfüllt, wenn der Grundkörper aus einem in mittleren Bereichen wärmebeständigen Metallkörper oder Kunststoffkörper mit normal bearbeiteter Oberfläche besteht.The desired adhesion properties are advantageously already met if the base body consists of a heat-resistant metal body or plastic body with a normally machined surface in central areas.

Zusätzliche Merkmale des Schreibwiderlages bestehen darin, daß es als zylindrische Schreibwalze ausgebildet ist und daß innerhalb der Walzenlänge axial begrenzte, radial geglättete Zonen vorgesehen sind. Diese Gestaltung vermeidet einen Abrieb der üblichen Papierumlenkmittel.Additional features of the writing abutment are that it is designed as a cylindrical writing roller and that axially limited, radially smoothed zones are provided within the roller length. This design avoids abrasion of the usual paper deflecting means.

In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung schematisch dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher erläutert.In the drawing, an embodiment of the invention is shown schematically and is explained in more detail below.

Die einzige Figur der Zeichnung stellt eine Seitenansicht auf den Druckkopf mit Schreibwiderlager eines Matrixdruckers dar.The only figure in the drawing represents a side view of the print head with a printing abutment of a matrix printer.

Der Druckkopf 1 des Matrixdruckers ist als Nadeldruckkopf ausgeführt und bewegt sich im Schreibbetrieb senkrecht zur Zeichenebene vor dem Schreibwiderlager 2, das als Auflagekörper eine zylindrische Schreibwalze zeigt, um die der Aufzeichnungsträger 3 geführt und in Vorschubrichtung 4 bewegt wird. Die Bewegung in Vorschubrichtung 4 kann zwischen den Druckpässen in Schritten oder während eines Druckpasses kontinuierlich erfolgen. Der Druckkopf 1 wird parallel zur Achse 5 des Schreibwiderlagers 2 in gleichförmigen hin- und hergehenden Bewegungen geführt. In dieser Zeit treten die (nicht sichtbaren) Drucknadeln bzw. Druckhämmer aus dem vorderen Druckkopf 1a aus und treffen auf ein Farbband 6 auf, um Druckpunkte auf dem Aufzeichnungsträger 3 zu hinterlassen.The print head 1 of the matrix printer is designed as a dot-matrix print head and moves in writing operation perpendicular to the plane of the drawing in front of the platen 2, which shows a cylindrical platen as a support body, around which the recording medium 3 is guided and moved in the feed direction 4. The movement in the feed direction 4 can between the pressure passes in steps or done continuously during a print pass. The print head 1 is guided parallel to the axis 5 of the platen 2 in uniform reciprocating movements. During this time, the (not visible) print needles or print hammers emerge from the front print head 1 a and hit an ink ribbon 6 in order to leave print dots on the recording medium 3.

Das Schreibwiderlager 2 besteht aus einem Grundkörper 7 aus Kunststoff oder Aluminium, auf dem oxidkeramische Werkstoffe 8 mit einer Schichtdicke 9 von 0,01 mm bis 5 mm zu einem Körper mit äußerer Schreibwiderlageroberfläche 10 aufgespritzt sind. Der aus dem Grundkörper 7 und der Schichtdicke 9 gebildete Körper weist im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel Kreisprofil 11 auf.The writing abutment 2 consists of a base body 7 made of plastic or aluminum, onto which oxide-ceramic materials 8 with a layer thickness 9 of 0.01 mm to 5 mm are sprayed onto a body with an outer writing abutment surface 10. The body formed from the base body 7 and the layer thickness 9 has a circular profile 11 in the exemplary embodiment shown.

Der Grundkörper 7 ist im Ausführungsbeispiel mit einer gleichmäßigen Schichtdicke 9 von 0,020 mm beschichtet. Der Schichtwerkstoff 8 besteht aus Aluminiumoxid, Titanoxid oder Chromoxid oder aus einem Gemisch dieser Werkstoffe. Die Schreibwiderlageroberfläche 10 weist eine beim Aufspritzen einstellbare Rauhtiefe auf, die für das Matrixdruckverfahren besonders geeignet ist.In the exemplary embodiment, the base body 7 is coated with a uniform layer thickness 9 of 0.020 mm. The layer material 8 consists of aluminum oxide, titanium oxide or chromium oxide or a mixture of these materials. The writing abutment surface 10 has a roughness depth which can be adjusted when spraying and which is particularly suitable for the matrix printing process.

Der Aufzeichnungsträger 3 wird außerdem mittels mehrerer Andrückrollen 12 auf die Schreibwiderlageroberfläche 10 gedrückt, um die Reibungskraft zur Wirkung zu bringen.The recording medium 3 is also pressed onto the abutment surface 10 by means of a plurality of pressure rollers 12 in order to bring the frictional force into effect.

Auf der zylindrischen Schreibwalze sind axial begrenzte, radial geglättete Zonen 13 vorgesehen, an denen Papierumlenkmittel 14 anliegen, ohne zu verschleißen.Axially limited, radially smoothed zones 13 are provided on the cylindrical platen roller, against which paper deflecting means 14 abut without wearing out.
