Definitions
- the invention relates to an ink supply system for an ink jet printer, according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
- Ink jet printers are already known in which printhead assemblies composed of multiple printheads are used. These printheads are lined up to span a full print area width that is a multiple of the print area width of a single printhead. Such Druckkopfan- orders are arranged relative to a transport device on which the parts to be printed during the printing process, stationary. Such an ink jet printer is described for example in the document WO 2006/084614.
- High power inkjet printers typically use printheads with a large number of nozzles. Such printheads with, for example, 128 nozzles per print head must be supplied with ink for trouble-free operation, the pressure of which must be in a very narrow tolerance range.
- Inkjet printers as described in WO 2006/084614 and as so-called large format printers with printing area widths up to several meters, have the advantage of a very high throughput through the use of the described stationary printhead assembly.
- the narrow tolerance range for the ink pressure at the individual printheads requires a very high technical and therefore cost-intensive effort to be able to ensure individually required ink supply.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to produce an ink supply system for an inkjet printer with a printhead assembly composed of individual printheads, which can be constructed inexpensively with relatively few simple technical components.
- the object of the invention is achieved by an ink supply system according to the paint of claim 1 solved.
- the advantage here is for the same supply of multiple printheads through a common intermediate tank with a significant reduction in space requirements for the components of the ink supply system also achieved the advantage that by the reduction of the fluid pressure of the ink regulating components, the error rate of a so-equipped ink jet printer essential can be reduced.
- the inlet channels as provided in claim 11, to form by tubing, have the advantage that thus a very flexible adaptation of the flow lengths of the inlet channels can be achieved.
- a return channel by simply exchanging a hose of different lengths.
- ink supply system achieves the advantage that the supply channels formed by tubes can be adjusted as far as possible in the extended position.
- a vacuum pump to the intermediate tank, according to claim 13, it can be achieved that an undesirable outflow of ink from the nozzles of the spinning heads is prevented.
- Fig. 1 shows an ink jet printer with an ink supply system.
- Fig. 1 shows an ink jet printer 1 with an ink supply system 2.
- the ink supply system 2 is shown only for one color or one ink.
- ink supply systems 2 in the corresponding number of colors are to be provided.
- the inkjet printer has a horizontally arranged transport device 3 for moving a printing part 4 lying on top of it in a feed direction 5 (as shown perpendicularly out of the plane of the drawing). Above the transport device 3 there is a printhead arrangement 6 with printheads 7, through which the printing part 4 moved past underneath is printed with ink.
- the transport device 3 is formed for example by a circulating conveyor belt, which is guided or driven via at least two deflection rollers.
- the moving in the direction of feed 5 upper portion of the conveyor belt is supported by one or more guide plates on its underside, so that a correspondingly uniform horizontal movement of the pressure member 4 in the feed direction 5 is achieved.
- the printhead assembly 6 has a plurality of printheads 7 for each color, so that the entire width of the print medium or the printing member 4 can be printed at once without the printhead assembly 6 having to move in the lateral direction with respect to the feed direction. That the printhead assembly 6 is stationary in the lateral direction and stationary with respect to the transport means 3 during the printing.
- Each of the print heads 7 has a nozzle row 8 formed by a plurality of juxtaposed and usually linearly aligned nozzles.
- the nozzle row 8 contains, for example, 128 juxtaposed nozzles (not shown in FIG. 1 for reasons of clarity).
- a single print head 7 or a nozzle row 8 accordingly has a printing area width 9 measured perpendicular to the feed direction 5.
- the print heads 7 or their nozzle rows 8 are lined up close to each other so that a total printing area width 10 of the print head arrangement 6 results.
- the ink supply system 2 first comprises a main tank 11 from which an intermediate tank 12 is supplied with ink.
- an inlet channel 13 is provided with a pump 14.
- print heads are each connected by a line to the common sub-tank 12. It is provided that all the intermediate tank 12 with the printheads 7 connecting line sections of the pipe network 15 have a directed from the intermediate tank 12 to the printheads 7 down slope. This has the advantage that air bubbles, which can arise from different causes in the pumped ink, can always escape upward and so a malfunction of a print head 7 is avoided.
- the intermediate tank 12 is further connected to a vacuum pump 16 in such a way that the air located above a liquid level 17 of the ink can be set under negative pressure relative to the ambient air pressure. This is necessary to prevent leakage of the filled inks through the nozzle openings of the print heads 7 due to the dead weight of the ink.
- a level sensor 18 with which the level of the liquid level 17 and the level of the intermediate tank 12 can be measured with ink arranged. With the help of the level sensor 18, the liquid level 17 can be monitored in the intermediate tank 12 in a controller 19 and always fill so much ink from the main tank 1 1 by appropriately driving the pump 14 that the liquid level 17 is kept constant.
- the level of the liquid level 17 constant is important in that the hydrostatic pressure of the ink corresponding to the height difference between the liquid level 17 and the nozzle openings in the printheads 7 is responsible for the pressure ratios of the ink liquid in the printheads 7 and thus for trouble-free operation .
- the negative pressure or the pressure prevailing over the liquid level 17 air pressure must be set so that on the one hand it is not too low, thus preventing the ink from spilling out of the nozzles and on the other hand is not too high, otherwise ink in the Printhead interior is sucked and thus air from the outside can enter through the nozzle openings, which has a nozzle failure result when the piezocam is filled with air.
- Further effects, which may likewise have an influence on the printing situation in the print heads 7, are increasing pressure losses due to an increasing blockage of the possibly used degassing or filter units (not shown in FIG.
- the distributor 20 is preferably formed by a distributor tube of constant tube cross-section and of straight shape.
- outlet openings 21 are arranged for inlet channels 22 for the printing heads 7, wherein distances of successive outlet openings 21 are equidistant with respect to a longitudinal extent of the distributor tube.
- a distance between two successive outlet openings 21 is preferably equal to the pressure area width 9, ie a distance between two successive print heads 7.
- the distributor tube 20 is substantially straight and parallel to the extension of the Printhead assembly 6 corresponding to the entire printing area width 10 is arranged.
- a plurality of print heads 7 can be made into a structural unit, i. be composed of a so-called printhead module.
- the printhead assembly 6 can thus be transferred analogously to printhead modules formed from a plurality of printheads 7.
- an inlet channel 22 is provided for supplying such a printhead module formed of a plurality of printheads 7 with ink. Accordingly, the distance between two successive outlet openings is then equal to the distance or the print area width of two successive printhead modules.
- the line connecting the intermediate tank 12 with a print head 7 or a print head module thus comprises a first line section 23 common to a plurality of print heads 7 or a plurality of print head modules and a respective own feed channel 22 to the print head 7 or to the print head module.
- the leading to the printheads 7 inlet channels 22 are preferably formed by flexible tubes.
- a length 24 of each successive inlet channels 22 is dimensioned smaller, the greater is a relative to the longitudinal extent of the manifold 20 measured distance of the respective outlet opening 21 of the intermediate tank. In this case, a highest point 25 of the manifold 20 is connected to the intermediate tank 12.
- the lengths 24 of the inlet channels 22 are so dimensioned that for the operating state of the maximum ink ejection through the nozzles of the print heads 7, the sum of the pressure losses caused by the flow resistances in the respective inlet channel 22 and the corresponding line section 23, for all on the manifold 20 connected inlet channels 22 are as equal as possible.
- this is inclined relative to a horizontal plane by an angle 26.
- This angle 26 is variable, in which the distributor tube 20 is mounted on an adjusting device 27, so that the inclination can be adjusted.
- the adjusting device 27 may alternatively be realized by a holder other than shown in FIG.
- the angle 26 of the inclination of the distributor tube 20 is preferably dimensioned so that the inlet channels 22 are in the widest possible stretched position.
