Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Drucker mit einer austauschbar einlegbaren Farbbandkassette, welche einen Speicherraum für ein Farbband und eine über ein Unter­setzungsgetriebe durch einen Elektromotor antreibbare Transporteinrichtung für das Farbband aufweist.The invention relates to a printer with an exchangeably insertable ink ribbon cassette, which has a storage space for an ink ribbon and a transport device for the ink ribbon which can be driven by an electric motor via a reduction gear.

Bei einer bekannten Kassette dieser Art (EP-A 01 58 963) werden die Transporteinrichtungen über eine beim Einlegen der Kassette in Eingriff gebrachte Kupplung mit dem Unter­setzungsgetriebe eines im Drucker angeordneten Elektro­motors gekuppelt. Untersetzungsgetriebe und Motor müssen dauerfest für die gesamte Lebensdauer des Druckers ausgelegt sein. Dennoch sind Störungen auch dieser Bau­gruppen des Druckers nicht ausschließbar und müssen gegebenenfalls von einem fachkundigen Techniker behoben werden.In a known cassette of this type (EP-A 01 58 963), the transport devices are coupled to the reduction gear of an electric motor arranged in the printer via a coupling engaged when the cassette is inserted. Reduction gear and motor must be designed to last for the entire life of the printer. Nevertheless, malfunctions of these components of the printer cannot be excluded and may have to be remedied by a competent technician.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Anordnung der eingangs genannten Art derart zu gestalten, daß die Reparaturanfälligkeit des Druckers verringert wird.The invention has for its object to design the arrangement of the type mentioned in such a way that the susceptibility to repairs of the printer is reduced.

Die Lösung gelingt dadurch, daß der Elektromotor und das Untersetzungsgetriebe in einem an das Gehäuse der Farb­bandkassette fest integrierten Antriebsgehäuse angeordnet und daß Mittel zur Herstellung einer Stromverbindung vom Motor zum Drucker mittels einer lösbaren Kontaktverbindung vorgesehen sind.The solution is achieved in that the electric motor and the reduction gear are arranged in a drive housing which is firmly integrated into the housing of the ink ribbon cassette and in that means are provided for establishing a power connection from the motor to the printer by means of a detachable contact connection.

Erfindungsgemäß sind der Elektromotor und sein Unterset­zungsgetriebe nicht mehr Bestandteile des Druckers sondern der Kassette. Bei einem Fehler dieser Bauelemente braucht lediglich die dann defekte Kassette von einer Bedienungs­person ausgewechselt zu werden, wobei die Hilfe eines fachkundigen Technikers nicht mehr erforderlich ist.According to the invention, the electric motor and its reduction gear are no longer part of the printer but of the cassette. In the event of a defect in these components, only the then defective cassette needs to be replaced by an operator, the help of a skilled technician being no longer required.

Der Aufwand für einen einer Kassette zugeordneten Antrieb ist erheblich geringer als bei Zuordnung zum Drucker, weil er lediglich für die relativ geringe Lebensdauer einer Kassette dimensioniert werden muß. Die Anfangskosten für einen Drucker einschließlich einer Kassette sind verringert.The effort for a drive assigned to a cassette is considerably less than when assigned to the printer, because it only has to be dimensioned for the relatively short life of a cassette. The initial cost of a printer including a cartridge is reduced.

Zwar sind die Kosten für eine erfindungsgemäß mit eigenem Antrieb versehene Austauschkassette geringfügig höher, doch bedeutet das auch nach häufiger Verwendung von Austauschkassetten keinen Nachteil, weil die Ersparnis infolge verringerter Reparaturkosten schwerer wiegt.Although the costs for an exchange cassette provided with its own drive according to the invention are slightly higher, this does not mean a disadvantage even after frequent replacement cassette use, because the savings due to reduced repair costs outweigh the costs.

Die erfindungsgemäße Farbbandkassette muß elektrisch mit einem Drucker verbunden werden. Das ist auf einfache Weise dadurch möglich, daß die Kontaktverbindung durch an der Kassette angeordnete Stecker erfolgt, welche bei in den Drucker eingelegter Kassette in zugeordnete Gegen-­Steckkupplungen des Druckers eingeführt sind.The ribbon cassette according to the invention must be electrically connected to a printer. This is possible in a simple manner in that the contact connection through the Cassette arranged connector takes place, which are inserted into associated mating connectors of the printer when the cassette is inserted into the printer.

Die elektrische Verbindung kann ohne zusätzlichen Aufwand automatisch dadurch erfolgen, daß aus einer Kassetten­wandung federnd hervorragende, mit dem Elektromotor elektrisch verbundene Kontaktelemente vorgesehen sind, welche zugeordnete Gegenkontaktflächen des Druckers bei eingelegter Kassette stromleitend berühren.The electrical connection can be made automatically without additional effort in that resiliently excellent contact elements, which are electrically connected to the electric motor, are provided from a cassette wall, which contact the associated mating contact surfaces of the printer with the cassette inserted in a current-conducting manner.

Die Kontaktelemente der Kassette sind vorteilhaft in einer zu ihrer Einlegerichtung parallelen Ebene angeordnet. Dabei können die korrespondierenden elektrischen Kontakt­flächen relativ zueinander in gewissem Ausmaß gleiten, so daß gegebenenfalls Toleranzunterschiede der Kassettenlage ohne Beeinträchtigung der Stromverbindungen zulässig sind.The contact elements of the cassette are advantageously arranged in a plane parallel to their direction of insertion. The corresponding electrical contact surfaces can slide to a certain extent relative to one another, so that tolerance differences in the cassette position may be permitted without impairing the power connections.

Bevorzugt ist bei einer um eine zum Drucker raumfeste Schwenkachse schwenkbar gehalterten Kassette vorgesehen, daß die Kontaktflächen der Kassette in einer zur Schwenk­achse orthogonalen Ebene in Nähe der Schwenkachse angeord­net sind. Dabei genügt eine Verschiebbarkeit der Kontakt­verbindung in besonders engen Grenzen.In the case of a cassette which is pivotally mounted about a pivot axis which is fixed to the printer, it is preferably provided that the contact surfaces of the cassette are arranged in a plane orthogonal to the pivot axis in the vicinity of the pivot axis. It is sufficient to be able to move the contact connection within particularly narrow limits.

Die Erfindung und deren Vorteile werden anhand der Beschreibung von in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen erläutert.

  • Fig. 1 deutet schematisch die erfindungswesentlichen Merkmale einer Farbbandkassette an.
  • Fig. 2 zeigt eine Aufsicht auf ein geöffnetes Antriebsgehäuse einer erfindungsgemäßen Farbbandkassette.
  • Fig. 3 zeigt einen Schnitt durch das Antriebsgehäuse nach Fig. 2.
  • Fig. 4 zeigt einen die elektrischen Anschlüsse skizzierenden Ausschnitt einer Seitenansicht der Anordnung nach Fig. 2.
The invention and its advantages are explained on the basis of the description of exemplary embodiments shown in the drawing.
  • Fig. 1 schematically indicates the features of an ink ribbon cassette essential to the invention.
  • Fig. 2 shows a plan view of an open drive housing of an ink ribbon cassette according to the invention.
  • FIG. 3 shows a section through the drive housing according to FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 4 shows a detail of a side view of the arrangement according to FIG. 2 sketching the electrical connections.

In Figur 1 verläuft im Bereich zwischen Seitenarmen 1 und 2 ein Abschnitt eines Farbbandes 3, von welchem eine große Länge in einem Stauraum 4 gespeichert ist. Die Weiterbewegung des Farbbandes 3 erfolgt in Pfeilrich­tung 5 mittels eines Antriebs, welcher im integrierten Antriebsgehäuse 6 vorgesehen ist.In FIG. 1, a section of an ink ribbon 3 runs in the area between side arms 1 and 2, a large length of which is stored in a storage space 4. The ink ribbon 3 is moved further in the direction of the arrow 5 by means of a drive which is provided in the integrated drive housing 6.

Mit 7 und 8 sind mit einem Motor der Antriebseinrichtung elektrisch verbundene Gleitkontakte angedeutet, welche auf Gegenkontaktflächen 9 und 10 eines Druckers mit Federan­druck gleiten, so daß eine Drehbewegung der Farbband­kassette um Drehachsen 10 und 11 unter Beibehaltung des elektrischen Kontakts möglich ist.With 7 and 8 electrically connected sliding contacts are indicated with a motor of the drive device, which slide on counter-contact surfaces 9 and 10 of a printer with spring pressure, so that a rotary movement of the ribbon cassette about axes of rotation 10 and 11 is possible while maintaining the electrical contact.

Da für die Antriebseinrichtung 6 verwendete Elektromotoren im allgemeinen Kleinspannungsmotoren sind, brauchen die Kontaktflächen 9 und 10 keine Mittel zum Berührungsschutz aufzuweisen.Since electric motors used for the drive device 6 are generally low-voltage motors, they need Contact surfaces 9 and 10 have no means of protection against accidental contact.

Einzelheiten eines erfindungsgemäß gestalteten Antriebs für eine Farbbandkassette zeigen die Figuren 2 bis 4. Im ohne Abdeckung dargestellten Antriebsgehäuse 6, welches an die Farbbandkassette einstückig angeformt ist, treibt ein mit einer Gleichspannung von weniger als 12 Volt betriebener Motor 12 mit seinem Riemenrad 13 über den Zahnriemen 14 die Zahnräder 15 und 16 eines Untersetzungs­getriebes an. Das Zahnrad 16 kämmt mit der Transportrolle 23, bei deren Drehung das zwischen den Transportrollen 23 und 24 geklemmte Farbband 3 gezogen wird.Figures 2 to 4 show details of a drive designed according to the invention for a ribbon cassette. In the drive housing 6 shown without a cover, which is integrally formed on the ribbon cassette, a motor 12 operated with a DC voltage of less than 12 volts drives its belt wheel 13 via the toothed belt 14 the gears 15 and 16 of a reduction gear. The gearwheel 16 meshes with the transport roller 23, during the rotation of which the ink ribbon 3 clamped between the transport rollers 23 and 24 is pulled.

Die Zahnräder 15 und 16 können vorteilhaft an die Bodenwandung des Antriebsgehäuses 6 angeformt sein. Die vom Elektromotor 12 kommenden Anschlußleitungen 17 und 18 sind mit Gleitkontakten 19 und 20 verbunden, welche auf Federarmen 21 und 22 eines Kontaktträgers 25 hervorragen. Die Gleitkontakte 19 und 20 sind in unmittelbarer Nähe der Drehachse 11 angeordnet, so daß deren Gleitbewegung beim Schwenken der Farbbandkassette möglichst gering ist.The gears 15 and 16 can advantageously be molded onto the bottom wall of the drive housing 6. The connecting lines 17 and 18 coming from the electric motor 12 are connected to sliding contacts 19 and 20 which protrude from spring arms 21 and 22 of a contact carrier 25. The sliding contacts 19 and 20 are arranged in the immediate vicinity of the axis of rotation 11, so that their sliding movement when pivoting the ribbon cassette is as small as possible.
