Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Druckvorrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a printing device according to the preamble of
Die Druckvorrichtung ist mit einer Vielzahl von Druckköpfen versehen, die jeweils einen Druckbereich aufweisen, dessen Erstreckung in Druckrichtung eine Zeilenhöhe und dessen Erstreckung quer zur Druckrichtung eine Spaltenbreite festlegt, wobei die Druckköpfe in mehreren voneinander beabstandeten parallelen Reihen angeordnet und die Druckköpfe verschiedener Reihen quer zur Druckrichtung zueinander versetzt sind.The printing apparatus is provided with a plurality of printheads, each having a printing area whose extension defines a line height in printing direction and a width across the printing direction, wherein the printheads arranged in a plurality of spaced apart parallel rows and the printheads of different rows transversely to the printing direction offset from each other.
Der Begriff "Druckrichtung" meint dabei die Richtung der Bewegung des zu bedruckenden Druckguts relativ zu den Druckköpfen. Sofern auf rotierende Druckplattenzylinder aufgezogene Druckplatten als Druckgut vorgesehen sind, steht die Druckrichtung senkrecht zur Drehachse des Druckplattenzylinders.The term "printing direction" means the direction of movement of the print material to be printed relative to the printheads. If mounted on rotating printing plate cylinder printing plates are provided as print material, the printing direction is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the printing plate cylinder.
Derartige Druckvorrichtungen werden beispielsweise dazu eingesetzt, um OffsetDruckplatten zu bebildern. Mit der Vielzahl von Druckköpfen kann ein Beschichtungsmittel oder in Umkehrung hiervon ein Lösungsmittel zum Auflösen einer Beschichtung der Druckplatte auf diese aufgespritzt werden.Such printing devices are used, for example, to image offset printing plates. With the plurality of printheads, a coating agent or, conversely, a solvent for dissolving a coating of the printing plate can be sprayed thereon.
Um ein hochwertiges Druckbild zu erhalten, ist es wünschenswert, das über die Druckvorrichtung auf die Druckplatten aufzubringende Medium in jedem Bereich der Druckplatte fein und gleichmäßig verteilt ohne Fehlstellen auftragen zu können. Hierzu sind die Druckköpfe ausreichend dicht aneinander anzuordnen. Andererseits ist die mögliche Dichte des Aneinanderpackens der Druckköpfe begrenzt, da diese aneinanderstoßen. Insofern wäre es wünschenswert, mit möglichst wenig Druckköpfen auszukommen.In order to obtain a high-quality printed image, it is desirable to be able to apply the medium to be applied to the printing plates via the printing device in every area of the printing plate in a finely and evenly distributed manner without any defects. For this purpose, the print heads are to be arranged sufficiently close together. On the other hand, the potential density of the printheads being stacked together is limited as they abut one another. In this respect, it would be desirable to manage with as few printheads.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of
Die mit der Erfindung erzielbaren Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, dass der Teilungsabstand der Druckköpfe in jeweils einer Druckkopfreihe der Spaltenbreite mal der Anzahl der Reihen und der Abstand der Reihen voneinander der Zeilenhöhe mal der um eins erhöhten Anzahl der Reihen entspricht. Die Spaltensprünge in einer Druckkopfreihe entsprechen der Anzahl der Druckkopfreihen, während die Zeilensprünge zwischen benachbarten Druckkopfreihen um eins größer als die Anzahl der Druckkopfreihen der Druckvorrichtung sind. Die Druckköpfe sind genau derart angeordnet, dass keine Lücken und keine Überlappungen zwischen den Druckköpfen, wo nicht bzw. doppelt gedruckt werden würde, vorgesehen sind. Hierdurch kann eine hohe Auflösung bei gleichzeitig kompakter Bauweise der Druckvorrichtung erreicht werden.The advantages achieved by the invention are in particular that the pitch of the printheads corresponds in each case a Druckkopfreihe the column width times the number of rows and the distance of the rows from each other of the row height times the increased by one number of rows. The column jumps in a print head row correspond to the number of print head rows, while the line jumps between adjacent print head rows are one greater than the number of print head rows of the printing apparatus. The printheads are arranged exactly so that there are no gaps and no overlaps between the printheads where printing would not be done twice. As a result, a high resolution can be achieved with a compact design of the printing device.
In vorteilhafter Weise sind Druckköpfe aus verschiedenen Reihen in einer gemeinsamen Ebene angeordnet. Insbesondere kann jeweils ein Druckkopf aus jeder Reihe mit einem jeweiligen Druckkopf aus jeder anderen Reihe in einer gemeinsamen Ebene liegen. Hierdurch wird die Montage der einzelnen Druckköpfe wesentlich vereinfacht. Insbesondere können diese auf einem ebenen Druckkopfhalter befestigt sein. Neben einer kompakten Anordnung kann hierdurch eine einfache Ausrichtbarkeit der Druckköpfe relativ zueinander erreicht werden.Advantageously, printheads of different rows are arranged in a common plane. In particular, one printhead from each row may each be in a common plane with a respective printhead from each other row. As a result, the assembly of the individual printheads is much easier. In particular, these may be mounted on a flat printhead holder. In addition to a compact arrangement, this makes it possible to achieve a simple adjustability of the print heads relative to each other.
In Weiterbildung der Erfindung werden die einzelnen Druckköpfe schräg zur Druckrichtung angeordnet, um eine höhere Auflösung zu erreichen. Jeder Druckkopf besitzt eine Längsrichtung, die durch seinen Druckbereich bzw. durch die Linie, entlang derer die Düsenöffnungen angeordnet sind, bestimmt wird. Die Druckköpfe werden derart schräg zur Druckrichtung angeordnet, dass sich die genannte Längsrichtung in einem spitzen Winkel zu der Druckrichtung erstreckt. Der Winkel kann an die Gegebenheiten, insbesondere an die Gestaltung der Druckköpfe angepasst werden. Gemäß einer Ausführung der Erfindung kann der Winkel zwischen 20° und 45°, insbesondere etwa 30° betragen.In a further development of the invention, the individual print heads are arranged obliquely to the printing direction in order to achieve a higher resolution. Each print head has a longitudinal direction which is determined by its printing area or by the line along which the nozzle openings are arranged. The print heads are arranged obliquely to the printing direction so that said longitudinal direction extends at an acute angle to the printing direction. The angle can be adapted to the conditions, in particular to the design of the print heads. According to one embodiment of the invention, the angle between 20 ° and 45 °, in particular about 30 °.
In Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind die Druckköpfe aus verschiedenen Reihen um den selben Winkel schräg gestellt. Sie können insbesondere derart angeordnet sein, dass Druckköpfe aus verschiedenen Reihen mit ihren Längsrichtungen in einer gemeinsamen Ebene liegen. Die gemeinsame Ebene ist zur Druckrichtung um den Winkel geneigt, um den auch die Druckköpfe zur Druckrichtung schräggestellt sind.In a further development of the invention, the print heads of different rows are inclined at the same angle. In particular, they may be arranged such that printheads of different rows lie with their longitudinal directions in a common plane. The common plane is inclined to the printing direction by the angle by which the printheads are tilted to the printing direction.
