Definitions

  • DE-AS 25 16 149 discloses a device for keeping the distance between the print head of a matrix printer and the recording medium constant.
  • the print head itself is slidably attached to the print carriage, is under the load of a spring acting between the print head and the slide, and adjusts its distance to the recording medium automatically via a feeler roller.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a matrix printer, in which the printing gap can be predetermined and varied within predetermined ranges, without an automatic printing gap setting. This task has arisen from the requirement to create a structurally simple, inexpensive printer suitable for large series production.
  • the object is achieved in a technically advanced manner in that the mobility required for positioning the print head of the same in the movable insert frame ge sets and thereby a rigid connection between the printhead and carriage can be made.
  • This is a significant advantage in terms of production and manufacturing costs, because movement mechanisms on a moving part, while at the same time fulfilling precise guidance of the moving parts, are very complex. This also reduces the mass of the moving parts, which can also reduce the drive power for the print head.
  • Claim 2 shows that the pressure can be adjusted in a simple manner via eccentrics. If these eccentrics are non-rotatably connected to the guide rod, a simple rotation of the guide rod is sufficient to set a desired pressure gap.
  • the insert frame with all units to be attached to it can be manufactured separately, regardless of the parts permanently installed in the printer housing.
  • a simple form-fitting plug-in coupling is sufficient, which allows their coupling parts to be axially displaced from one another.
  • the matrix printer shown in Fig. 1 has a print head 1 which is fixed immovably on a carriage 2. At the front end of the carriage 2 is a zy attached guide sleeve 3 and attached to a guide rod 4.
  • the guide rod 4 is arranged parallel to a pressure counter 7 in the form of a friction roller.
  • eccentrics 5 and 6 At both ends of the guide rod 4 there are eccentrics 5 and 6 which, under the action of a spring 23 (see FIG. 2), rest on corresponding parts of the printer housing 8.
  • the guide rod 4 is held in an insert frame 9.
  • a timing disk 12 is connected to the motor shaft of the main drive motor 11, which uses a light barrier 28 to determine the respective position of the print carriage 2 and thus the respective position Print position of the print head 1 of a controller, not shown, reports.
  • the drive system also includes a power take-off motor 13, which drives a shaft 16 with a worm gear 15 in one direction of rotation via a gear 26 and freewheels, which are not further described, and drives a drive shaft 14 of the ribbon system via this and a line switching device 17 in another direction of rotation. Furthermore, a lancing freewheel 22 is provided for rotating the counterpart 7.
  • the ribbon cassette includes an ink ribbon 21, which is drawn in a short section. With a dash-dotted line 24, the axis of Druckko D fes 1 is designated.
  • the drive elements of the line switching device 17, the input of which forms a shaft 18, are mounted on the printer housing.
  • the front square end of the shaft 18 is inserted into a sleeve 20 correspondingly provided with an inner square.
  • This plug connection forms a form-fitting coupling 19 which permits the relative displacement of the insert frame 9 to the printer housing 8 resulting from the pressure gap setting without interrupting the kinematic connection.
  • Fig. 2 shows the eccentric 5 which bears against the printer housing 8 under the action of the spring 23 and which is here to be connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the guide rod 4.
  • a screw 26 is provided to fix the eccentric position.
  • a slideway 27 of the printer housing 28 is indicated, on which the insert frame 9 rests.
