Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus for printing a web of textile, which apparatus comprises:
  • the heads which are arranged on a necessarily very rigid beam, easily accessible.
  • the invention provides a specific embodiment of the apparatus which has the feature that each beam can be positioned in a fixed position relative to the main frame by means of positioning means, comprising three sets of recesses, for instance V-grooves, and associated protrusions, for instance balls, present on the main frame respectively the beam, and that each beam can be lifted out of the position defined by these positioning means and in the thus obtained free position can be pushed to the outside, for instance for repair or maintenance.
  • positioning means comprising three sets of recesses, for instance V-grooves, and associated protrusions, for instance balls, present on the main frame respectively the beam, and that each beam can be lifted out of the position defined by these positioning means and in the thus obtained free position can be pushed to the outside, for instance for repair or maintenance.
  • each beam is supported by a sub-frame with the general form of a lying U which is laterally displaceable in and out of the apparatus such that, if desired during operation of the apparatus, any sub-frame whose inkjet heads are temporarily not in use can be displaced to the outside, for instance for repair or maintenance.
  • apparatus according to the invention may be characterized by washing means placed downstream relative to the upper active part for removing the glue from the conveyor belt.
  • Use can be made of a desired number of colours and a corresponding number of beams with units of inkjet heads.
  • the number of colours can amount for instance to a maximum of 12, while the beams are placed at mutual distances of 10-100 cm.
  • Printing speeds can be realized of 1-40 m/min.
  • a printing width of for instance 1 cm to 50 m can be realized according to the invention.
  • the resolution of the finally obtained printed image can amount to 120-400 dpi. It will be apparent that this resolution is also determined by the precision with which the mutual distance between nozzles of the inkjet heads can be maintained relative to the textile web to be printed.
  • the conveyor belt passes the inkjet heads in very stable manner and without notable height difference at the position of these heads.
  • the maximum height variation between the nozzles and the textile surface for printing amounts to about 10 ⁇ m.
  • Printing can take place with different colour systems.
  • the system can also be used by working with colour graduations other than the traditional ones. Specific colours are then mixed and used instead of the above stated colours.
  • Fig. 1 shows an apparatus 1 for printing a textile web 2 (see also Fig. 2).
  • the apparatus comprises a main frame 3 placed on the ground or a shop floor.
  • apparatus 1 comprises an endless conveyor belt 6 which is guided over a driven roller 4 and a reversing roller 5 disposed substantially parallel thereto and which is driven by motor means (not shown) at a chosen constant speed as according to arrow 7.
  • the apparatus further comprises glue dispensing means 8 for applying a glue layer upstream of the active upper part 9 of conveyor belt 6 for temporary light adhesion of textile web 2 to this active part 9 such that web 2 is fixed non-movably relative to the conveyor belt during transport by said upper part 9.
  • a washing device 10 shown in Fig. 5 contains sponge means 11 and a scraper 12 for removing glue residues from conveyor belt 9. These washing means 10 are placed downstream of the active part 9.
  • Fig. 2 shows a supply and feed unit and a pressure roller 15 which co-acts with roller 4 and which provides an intimate and adhering contact between the active upper part 9 and textile web 2.
  • a printing unit 16 comprises eight U-shaped frames 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, which are each adapted to generate, under the control of a control unit (not shown), a very small droplet of coloured ink at any point in time determined by the control unit by means of an inkjet head unit added to each frame, one colour for each frame.
  • Printing means 16 are operative in the zone of the active part 9 of the conveyor belt. The printing takes place in accordance with an adjustable pattern to be selected.
  • a dryer 25 Connecting onto printing unit 16 is a dryer 25 which is finally followed by a discharge and storage unit 26 in which the dried web, otherwise than in the infeed unit 13, is not rolled up onto a roll but, swinging back and forth as according to arrow 27 in per se known manner, comes to lie under its own weight in layers of the now printed textile web 28 on a stack 29.
  • the printing means of which frames 17-24 form part, comprise frame beams which are added to the respective frames and supported thereby, and each of which carries an array of inkjet heads. During operation each of these arrays is immobile relative to the upper surface defined by the active part.
  • conveyor belt 6 is supported over active part 9 by support surfaces, drawn in this case as rollers 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, where the support positions for the conveyor belt correspond with the zones of the inkjet arrays situated thereabove.
  • Rollers 31-38 are incorporated in the structure such that during operation they have a substantial difference in speed from that of conveyor belt 6.
  • the rollers can for instance be driven or braked or, in the simplest case, be fixed.
  • Fig. 4, 5 and 6 show an embodiment in which the rollers are ordered in an arc such that active part 9 of conveyor belt 6 is deflected by each roller through an angle in the order of 1°.
  • Conveyor belt 6 is arranged under tensile stress over rollers 4 and 5.
  • Fig. 7 shows the U-shaped frame 22 which can be displaced laterally out of apparatus 1 in the manner shown in Fig. 1.
  • the U-shape leaves clear an opening 41 such that with a lateral displacement as according to arrow 42 the frame 22 can be moved to the right in the drawing without disrupting the operation of the rest of the apparatus.
  • one beam corresponding to a colour not in use can thus be removed for service lines.
  • the upper leg of the U bears a beam 43 which carries an inkjet array in a manner not shown.
  • Beam 43 can be positioned very precisely relative to lower leg 44 by means of respective recesses and protrusions.
  • Reference numeral 71 designates a supply station for coloured ink. As shown particularly clearly in Fig. 2, this station 2 contains two containers 72, 73, each with its own colour, between which it is possible to switch, or with the same colour for continuation of the printing process when one container is completely empty.
  • Fig. 8a shows that beam 43 is positioned as according to an arrow 45 such that it comes to lie in its nominal position with great precision in three independent directions.
  • Fig. 8b shows that by means of a drive 46 the beam 43 can be lifted out of positioning means 47, thus becomes freely suspended and can then be pushed as according to Fig. 8c to the right out of the frame in the direction of arrows 48.
  • Fig. 9 shows by way of example a beam 43 which is provided on its underside with three V-shaped grooves 51, 52, 53 which co-act with respective balls 54, 55, 56.
  • Fig. 10 shows the manner in which roller 5 can be tilted in a vertical plane, whereby a certain torsion is created in conveyor belt 6 which has the consequence that the belt undergoes a force whereby it leaves the transverse position it occupies and undergoes a gradual lateral displacement.
  • the ⁇ z displacement can amount for instance to a maximum of 0.1 ⁇ m.
  • the indicated displacement ⁇ y depends on the length of roller 5. This displacement is a second order effect compared to ⁇ z, and is therefore wholly negligible.
  • a tilting takes place around the centre of axis 51 to the position 51'. Where this tilting takes places is wholly unimportant. What is important is that the belt undergoes a certain torsion, whereby the side edges of the belt acquire a helical shape with a very small angle.
  • Fig. 11 shows such an embodiment wherein on the side which is not drawn roller 5 is rotatable on its rotation shaft 52 substantially at a fixed position, while on the side shown in Fig. 11 it is supported by a bearing 53 which is pivotable relative to a frame beam 56 forming part of a frame by means of a pull rod 54 with a nut 55.
  • a stepping motor 57 is provided with a rotatingly driven nut and an associated screw spindle 58 which, when driven by the stepping motor, can make a reciprocating movement as according to an arrow 59.
  • a cam lever 61 is hereby displaced against sub-frame 62, which can thereby undergo an upward and respectively downward directed displacement with associated adjustment of the position of the axis of shaft 52, whereby the above mentioned helix angle is changed.
  • control of stepping motor 57 takes place by a control unit which receives transverse position signals from an optical sensor situated in the immediate vicinity of the reversing roller.
  • the embodiment is such that the optical sensor always performs a transverse position measurement at the same longitudinal point of the edge of the conveyor belt, thereby obtaining a determination of the transverse position.
  • the apparatus can display an exceptional accuracy, whereby the printed images realized with the apparatus are of a quality unknown up until now.
