Definitions
- the invention relates to a transport device for flat goods to be printed according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the invention is used in microprocessor-controlled printing devices and is suitable for franking machines and other mail processing devices.
- the invention makes it possible to achieve a small offset of the dots in the printing, which in particular improves the machine readability of an impression of a franked mailpiece.
- a transport principle with an overhead belt and a bottom-mounted sprung counter-pressure device, between which a mailpiece is clamped, is known from the patent DD 233 101 B5
- a thermal transfer ribbon is not suitable as a conveyor belt.
- the thermal transfer ribbon is disposed above a feed table over which the mail pieces are transported horizontally post-downstream.
- the feed table has openings through which a driven counter-pressure roller passes through the mail item.
- a postage meter machine with a mail item transport device is known with which the letters are transported through the postage meter machine by means of an overhead conveyor belt and a plurality of spring-mounted levers arranged below.
- the conveyor belt is mounted in a loop on rollers and does not allow the pressure module or a part thereof to protrude into the area between the rollers.
- the width of the conveyor belt is relatively small and is about 1 inch.
- the extension of the housing transversely to the mail item transport direction is relatively large in comparison.
- a second printing position for printing franking strips is provided, which are rolled up on rolls and which are unrolled for printing. This second printing path causes higher production costs.
- a printing device for an ink-jet franking machine wherein a franking print is printed by means of an ink-jet print head on a mail piece in the case of an approximately horizontal letter transport.
- the ink jet printhead is arranged to be stationary behind a guide plate in a recess for printing.
- a transport device is a revolving conveyor belt, which is also arranged on the side of the guide plate.
- a supporting and pressing device is arranged with a plurality of rollers, so that a fed mail piece between the rollers of the support and pressure device and the circulating conveyor belt is clamped.
- the device can not avoid skewing the print carrier. Even an insufficiently tensioned conveyor belt or not exactly parallel alignment of the axes of those rollers on which the conveyor belt rotates, carries the aforementioned danger in itself. Due to the large number of roles of support and pressure device latter is very expensive.
- JetMail ® In the DE 196 05 015 C1 ( US 5,949,444 ) an embodiment for a printing device of an ink-jet franking machine JetMail ® has been proposed by the applicant Francotyp-Postalia AG & Co., at a non-horizontal approximately vertical letter transport performs a franking pressure by means of an ink jet printhead, which is arranged behind a guide plate in a recess stationary.
- a transport device is a revolving conveyor belt with pressure elements for the mail pieces (letters to 20 mm thickness, DIN B4 format) or for franking strips, which are formed aufklebbar on packets of any thickness.
- the print carrier (letter, packet, franking strip) is clamped between the pressure elements and the guide plate.
- An apparatus for character printing on a predetermined place on one side of a flat recording medium and a correspondingly equipped franking machine are known.
- a transport belt is arranged on the one hand on the inkjet printhead side and on the other hand forms a non-suspended support means for the print side of a flat recording medium (object, mail, envelope).
- a counter-pressure device supports the flat object from below, in which a belt rolls around at least two other rollers, at least one of which is not suspended.
- One from the EP 1 170 141 B1 Known device for printing a print carrier in the printing area uses in the power transmission area a driven transport drum and non-driven counter-pressure rollers or alternatively a non-driven counter-pressure conveyor belt.
- a stationary ink jet printhead prints in the print area the downstream moving print carrier, wherein the ink jet print head is arranged axially to the transport drum.
- the printing area is preferably about 1 inch and is spaced from the power transmission area, wherein the distance of the farthest pixel from the edge of the transport drum is smaller than the radius of the circumference of the transport drum.
- the disadvantage is the low approximately linear contact of the mail piece surface to be printed with the transport drum and a spaced feed wheel for mailpieces.
- the feed wheel is driven by a toothed belt from the transport drum. This causes a ⁇ x offset of the dots in the print image. Othogonal this results in a ⁇ y offset of the dots in the printed image, especially in very large mailpieces.
- the structure also causes high manufacturing costs.
- EP 881 599 A2 relates to an ink-jet printing device with a conveyor belt running around two rollers.
- the invention has for its object to develop a transport device of a printing device for flat goods, which ensures a high print quality at a mean throughput of flat goods in cooperation with a microprocessor-controlled printing device. Despite low production costs, the reliability of the printing device should be as high as possible and the printing offset in the x-direction and y-direction should be low.
- postcards and on the other hand C4 and B4 letters with a mail piece thickness up to 10 mm are to be processed.
- a printing position is achieved.
- the printing module is held in the printing position and a transport device is arranged to horizontally transport flat goods or a mail piece past the print head.
- the transport device is stationarily arranged in the printing device with respect to a pressure device which presses the mail piece to the conveyor belt.
- the conveyor belt acts in the transport area with a predetermined stiction on a part of the surface of the mail piece, which is not printed, but is located near the area to be printed.
- a printing module is arranged counter to the direction of gravity over a printing window in the z direction of a Cartesian coordinate system.
- a print image is generated by at least one print head.
- at least one print head of an ink cartridge ejects ink droplets opposite to the z direction in the direction of gravity through the print window.
- the printing window is arranged on the edge of a conveyor belt in a housing part, wherein the conveyor belt transports a flat good to be printed on the edge during printing in the transport direction x past the at least one print head. The flat goods are pressed against the force of gravity to the conveyor belt in a support area.
- a support region is advantageous, which is located on both sides of a line, which is centered through the printing window transversely to the transport direction x in the y-direction of the Cartesian coordinate system runs, stretched.
- the conveyor belt is supported on a support plate, which is arranged above the transport region between a molding plate and a bearing plate of a roller carrier, wherein the support surface of the support plate is larger than the surface of the pressure window, which is adjacent to the support plate.
- the printing device is arranged in a box-shaped chassis.
- the box-shaped construction ensures a high stability with a very simple structure.
- the pressure module can now protrude into the area between the rollers.
- the guidance during transport of the mailpieces is improved and the printing offset in the x-direction and y-direction is less than 100 microns in both directions.
- the transport device for flat goods to be printed has a printing module in the printing position, from which the printing module can be moved in a conventional manner in a cleaning and sealing position by transverse movement means known per se transversely to the mailpiece transport direction.
- the cleaning and sealing position can advantageously be arranged closer to the conveyor belt. This also reduced the size of the chassis and housing across the mailpiece transport direction.
- the conveyor belt is preferably a driven wide tensioned flat belt.
- the latter is guided by means of deflection rollers both over the printing module and under the printing module along, while the printing module is in a printing position. In the printing position, the printing module protrudes at least partially into the intermediate space between the two deflection rollers, but the heads of the two ink cartridges continue to be outside the transport area.

Im Marktsegment der Frankiermaschinen mit kleinen bis mittleren Postgutdurchsatz wird eine kompakte Transportvorrichtung für Poststücke bei möglichst geringen Herstellungskosten benötigt.In the market segment of franking machines with small to medium Mailgutdurchsatz a compact transport device for mail pieces with the lowest possible production costs is required.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Transportvorrichtung einer Druckvorrichtung für flache Güter zu entwickeln, die im Zusammenwirken mit einer mikroprozessorgesteuerten Druckvorrichtung eine hohe Druckqualität bei einem mittleren Durchsatz flacher Güter gewährleistet. Trotz geringer Herstellungskosten soll die Zuverlässigkeit der Druckvorrichtung möglichst hoch und der Druckversatz in x-Richtung und y-Richtung sollte gering sein. Dabei sollen einerseits Postkarten und andererseits C4 und B4 Briefe mit einer Poststückdicke bis 10 mm verarbeitet werden.The invention has for its object to develop a transport device of a printing device for flat goods, which ensures a high print quality at a mean throughput of flat goods in cooperation with a microprocessor-controlled printing device. Despite low production costs, the reliability of the printing device should be as high as possible and the printing offset in the x-direction and y-direction should be low. On the one hand postcards and on the other hand C4 and B4 letters with a mail piece thickness up to 10 mm are to be processed.
Die Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen der Anordnung nach dem Anspruch 1 gelöst.The object is achieved with the features of the arrangement according to claim 1.
Durch eine Querbewegung eines Druckmoduls quer zur Poststücktransportrichtung mittels Querbewegungsmittel wird eine Druckposition erreicht. Beim Drucken nach einem Tintenstrahldruckverfahren wird das Druckmodul in der Druckposition gehalten und eine Transportvorrichtung ist entsprechend angeordnet, um flache Güter bzw. ein Poststück am Druckkopf vorbei waagerecht zu transportieren. Die Transportvorrichtung ist ortsfest in der Druckvorrichtung gegenüber einer Andruckvorrichtung angeordnet, welche das Poststück an das Transportband andrückt.By a transverse movement of a printing module transversely to the mail item transport direction by means of transverse movement means, a printing position is achieved. When printing by an ink jet printing method, the printing module is held in the printing position and a transport device is arranged to horizontally transport flat goods or a mail piece past the print head. The transport device is stationarily arranged in the printing device with respect to a pressure device which presses the mail piece to the conveyor belt.
Das Transportband wirkt im Transportbereich mit einer vorbestimmten Haftreibung auf einen Teil der Oberfläche der Poststückes, welcher nicht bedruckt wird, aber nahe dem zu bedruckenden Bereich gelegen ist.The conveyor belt acts in the transport area with a predetermined stiction on a part of the surface of the mail piece, which is not printed, but is located near the area to be printed.
Ein Druckmodul ist entgegen der Schwerkraftrichtung über einem Druckfenster in z-Richtung eines kartesischen Koordinatensystems angeordnet. Beim Drucken wird durch mindestens einen Druckkopf ein Druckbild erzeugt. Beispielsweise stößt mindestens ein Druckkopf einer Tintenkartusche Tintentropfen entgegengesetzt zur z-Richtung in Schwerkraftrichtung durch das Druckfenster aus. Das Druckfenster ist am Rand eines Transportbandes in einem Gehäuseteil angeordnet, wobei das Transportband ein am Rande zu bedruckendes flaches Gut während des Druckens in Transportrichtung x an dem mindestens einen Druckkopf vorbei transportiert. Die flachen Güter werden entgegen der Schwerkraft an das Transportband in einem Stützbereich angedrückt.A printing module is arranged counter to the direction of gravity over a printing window in the z direction of a Cartesian coordinate system. During printing, a print image is generated by at least one print head. For example, at least one print head of an ink cartridge ejects ink droplets opposite to the z direction in the direction of gravity through the print window. The printing window is arranged on the edge of a conveyor belt in a housing part, wherein the conveyor belt transports a flat good to be printed on the edge during printing in the transport direction x past the at least one print head. The flat goods are pressed against the force of gravity to the conveyor belt in a support area.
Empirisch hat sich gezeigt, dass ein Stützbereich vorteilhaft ist, welcher sich beidseitig einer Linie, welche mittig durch das Druckfenster quer zur Transportrichtung x in y-Richtung des kartesischen Koordinatensystems verläuft, ausgedehnt. Das Transportband stützt sich an einer Stützplatte ab, die oberhalb des Transportbereiches zwischen einer Formteilplatte und einer Lagerplatte eines Rollenträgers angeordnet ist, wobei die Stützfläche der Stützplatte größer ist, als die Fläche des Druckfensters, welches zur Stützplatte benachbart ist.Empirically it has been shown that a support region is advantageous, which is located on both sides of a line, which is centered through the printing window transversely to the transport direction x in the y-direction of the Cartesian coordinate system runs, stretched. The conveyor belt is supported on a support plate, which is arranged above the transport region between a molding plate and a bearing plate of a roller carrier, wherein the support surface of the support plate is larger than the surface of the pressure window, which is adjacent to the support plate.
Die Druckvorrichtung ist in einem kastenförmigen Chassis angeordnet. Der kastenförmige Aufbau sichert eine hohe Stabilität bei sehr einfachem Aufbau. Durch Vergrößern der Umlenkrollen der Transportvorrichtung kann das Druckmodul in den Bereich zwischen den Rollen nun hineinragen. Damit und aufgrund der Verwendung eines Flachriemens als Transportband wird die Führung beim Transport der Poststücke verbessert und der Druckversatz in x-Richtung und y-Richtung ist kleiner als 100 µm in beiden Richtungen. Durch das Hineinragen des Druckmodul oder Teilen desselben und durch ein Weglassen eines zweiten Druckpfades wurde die Ausdehnung des Chassis und Gehäuses in y-Richtung, d.h. quer zur Poststücktransportrichtung verringert.The printing device is arranged in a box-shaped chassis. The box-shaped construction ensures a high stability with a very simple structure. By enlarging the deflection rollers of the transport device, the pressure module can now protrude into the area between the rollers. Thus, and due to the use of a flat belt as a conveyor belt, the guidance during transport of the mailpieces is improved and the printing offset in the x-direction and y-direction is less than 100 microns in both directions. By projecting the printing module or parts thereof and omitting a second printing path, the extension of the chassis and housing in the y-direction, i. reduced transversely to the mailpiece transport direction.
Die Transportvorrichtung für zu bedruckende flache Güter hat einen Druckmodul in der Druckposition, aus welcher das Druckmodul in an sich bekannter Weise in eine Reinigungs- und Dichtposition durch an sich bekannte Querbewegungsmittel quer zur Poststücktransportrichtung verfahren werden kann. Die Reinigungs- und Dichtposition kann vorteilhaft dichter am Transportband angeordnet werden. Dadurch wurde die Ausdehnung des Chassis und Gehäuses quer zur Poststücktransportrichtung ebenfalls verringert.The transport device for flat goods to be printed has a printing module in the printing position, from which the printing module can be moved in a conventional manner in a cleaning and sealing position by transverse movement means known per se transversely to the mailpiece transport direction. The cleaning and sealing position can advantageously be arranged closer to the conveyor belt. This also reduced the size of the chassis and housing across the mailpiece transport direction.
Das Transportband ist vorzugsweise ein angetriebener breiter gespannter Flachriemen. Letzterer wird mittels Umlenkrollen sowohl über das Druckmodul als auch unter dem Druckmodul entlang geführt, während sich das Druckmodul in einer Druckposition befindet. In der Druckposition ragt das Druckmodul in den Zwischenraum zwischen den beiden Umlenkrollen wenigstens teilweise herein, wobei sich die Köpfe der beiden Tintenkartuschen aber weiterhin außerhalb der Transportbereiches befinden.The conveyor belt is preferably a driven wide tensioned flat belt. The latter is guided by means of deflection rollers both over the printing module and under the printing module along, while the printing module is in a printing position. In the printing position, the printing module protrudes at least partially into the intermediate space between the two deflection rollers, but the heads of the two ink cartridges continue to be outside the transport area.
