Definitions

the invention relates to a printing device according to the preamble of claim 1 and claim 22.
Such storage containers are preferably storage containers for operating fluids of the printing device, in particular ink reservoir and / or solvent reservoir.
reservoirs are used with a dimensionally stable outer body, which have in their interior at least one shape-variable storage body, usually in the form of a bag, which contracts during a removal of the corresponding operating fluid, for example, during ink withdrawal.
the outer body also often have other elements, such as electronic circuits and
Memory devices via which information, for example, on the current filling level of the reservoir and / or a kind of content and / or
Manufacturer information and / or a date of manufacture, etc. can be replaced with the printing device.
this data can be written updated in this memory. This makes it possible
said outer body frequently, in particular at
Printing equipment in the office sector and / or labeling systems in the industrial sector additional facilities on, for example, electronic and / or fluidic devices, such as ink filters and / or nozzles with associated control devices, so that the outer body in conjunction with these additional facilities is a functioning pressure module, which can be operated for example via external electrical control signals.
additional facilities on, for example, electronic and / or fluidic devices, such as ink filters and / or nozzles with associated control devices, so that the outer body in conjunction with these additional facilities is a functioning pressure module, which can be operated for example via external electrical control signals.
such a pressure module has a considerable complexity, whereby both manufacturing costs and operating costs are relatively high, since usually after emptying of the reservoir and in particular of the storage body, the complete print module is replaced and disposed of.
Reservoir in even simpler design have only a container that is either designed as dimensionally stable body and when emptying requires additional facilities for ventilation or designed as non-dimensionally stable body, such as a bag that requires a corresponding elaborately designed recording device for its support.
Machine control of the printing device is usually carried out via electrical contacts, via which the power supply of the electrical device to the reservoir and the data transfer between the reservoir and the control system of the printer.
the receiving device for the reservoir for example, a Row of contact pins, which come in an insertion and fixing of the reservoir in the receiving device with corresponding contact surfaces on the reservoir in connection, whereby the electrical contacts come about.
inks and solvents used for industrial applications are sometimes very aggressive or have high adhesion
Reservoir must be made with a sufficient contact force, by means of which the contact surfaces are pressed together. This can be impaired in particular by wear.
a storage container of a printing device wherein the reservoir has at least one opening and wherein at least one of the opening facing surface element of an outer side of the reservoir has a pointing in a first direction surface normal and wherein the
Storage container has at least one data module, the at least one transmitting and / or receiving unit for contactless communication with at least one
a printing device is further known, wherein the printing device has at least two receiving devices for receiving a respective storage container and wherein the printing device at least one
the at least one communication module has at least one transmitting and / or receiving unit, which is suitable for a contactless data transmission between this transmitting and / or receiving unit and each at least one data module of a reservoir and wherein the
Printing device has at least one line system.
EP 1 060 895 A1 discloses a storage container of a printing device, wherein the storage container has at least one data module which has at least one transmitting and / or receiving unit for contactless communication with at least one communication module of a printing device.
Continuous ink jet printers have an operating principle in which an ink to be printed from a storage container, for example by means of a
Removed negative pressure and preferably via pumps with positive pressure in a preferably located in a print head pressure chamber is promoted, which has at least one nozzle on a side facing an object to be printed on. From the at least one nozzle ink initially emerges as a continuous ink jet, which decays into individual drops.
at least one modulation element is attached to the pressure chamber, for example, which generates pressure fluctuations in the exiting ink jet, so that after leaving the nozzle after a short time in breaks a defined distance into individual similar drops of ink.
the size of the ink drops depends, for example, on the applied modulation frequency, the
Nozzle diameter and the pressure generated by the pump can be set within the limits set by the combination of the aforementioned parameters for the system. Just before the tearing off of the ink drops from the leaked
the ink droplets are each provided with an individual electrical charge, the height of the charge preferably depends on the desired impact position on the object to be printed.
the ink has an electrical
the charging electrode is electrically held at ground potential.
the charging electrode has no mechanical contact with the ink jet. If an ink drop now breaks off the ink jet while it is in the field region of the charging electrode, the electrical charges which have moved through the influence in the drops remain in the ink jet
Conductivity of the ink is according to the level of the applied charging voltage. With a change in the charging voltage, the amount of charge on each drop can thus also be changed.
the electrically charged ink drops subsequently enter the electrostatic field of a plate capacitor and, depending on their individual charge, are more or less deflected from their rectilinear trajectory and fly off the electrostatic field at a certain angle dependent on their charge their original trajectory continues.
different impact positions can be selected on a surface to be labeled with individual ink droplets, where in this
the inks used for this purpose have certain required or desired
Solvents are used for example methyl ethyl ketone, alcohols, acetone or generally organic solvents. Due to the principle, it is so that even in the non-printing operating state ink drops from the said nozzle emerge and only after a certain distance in the ink jet print head on the
Trap pipe are returned to the ink circuit.
the ink droplets are exposed to the ambient air, losing some of their solvent due to the volatility of the solvent mentioned and used in the ink.
the ink jet printer continuously decreases the proportion of solvent in the ink circulation in the ink circuit, resulting in an increase in the viscosity of the ink and thus malfunction or failure of the printer.
the ink is continuously or at regular intervals or as needed fed a certain amount of solvent from a dedicated reservoir. This happens, for example, by timed a specific
Solvent amount is supplied to the ink system or via a
Viscosity measurement is supplied as needed a certain amount of solvent.
different pumps and / or valves and / or filters and / or measuring devices are provided in the ink system, which must be brought into different contact with each other as needed. There is therefore a need for extensive tubing between these facilities
