背景技术Background technique
随着网际网路及电子商务的发展,对数位文件传输与数位办公的需求与日俱增,打印装置俨然成为家庭或办公必备的电子输出设备。With the development of the Internet and e-commerce, the demand for digital file transmission and digital office is increasing day by day, and the printing device has become a necessary electronic output device for home or office.
企业需要快速且大量打印输出,因此页宽式(page-width array)打印技术因应而生。该打印平台的承载机构系为固定式,利用宽度大于或等于待打印纸张宽度的打印平台的喷墨头结构阵列,直接对通过喷墨头结构阵列下方的纸张进行打印作业。此打印技术目前已大幅应用在企业以及家庭的打印装置,该打印技术能以每分钟约60页的速率执行全彩(full color)1600DPI(Dots Per Inch)打印,以供使用者在进行高速打印动作的同时,仍保有高品质的文件以及影像输出水准。Enterprises need fast and high-volume printing output, so page-width array printing technology was born accordingly. The carrying mechanism of the printing platform is fixed, and the inkjet head structure array of the printing platform whose width is greater than or equal to the width of the paper to be printed is used to directly print the paper passing under the inkjet head structure array. This printing technology has been widely used in enterprise and home printing devices. This printing technology can perform full color (full color) 1600DPI (Dots Per Inch) printing at a rate of about 60 pages per minute for users to perform high-speed printing While moving, it still maintains high-quality files and image output levels.
由于印表机大量进行印制作业,累积的纸粉及污垢导致部分打印字元可能变得不清楚。若欲维持良好打印品质,必须定期清除在纸张托架和输纸部分及喷墨头表面上所残余的墨水和其他污染物,并于喷墨头未使用期间,将喷墨头加盖,以保护喷墨头及避免喷墨孔上的墨水干涸。因此,为延长喷墨头寿命,绝大多数印表机都有维护及清洁装置;然而,页宽式打印的阵列喷墨装置,其清洁机构相较小型的往复式打印装置复杂许多,不仅难以维护,且清洁程序亦相对耗费时间。Due to the intensive printing operation of the printer, some printed characters may become unclear due to the accumulated paper dust and dirt.

另外,于一些实施例中,页宽打印装置1更可包括连续供墨模块5,但不以此为限。如第1图所示,以本实施例为例,页宽打印装置1的连续供墨模块5系设置于主机体2的一侧,并可借由一供墨输送管路(未图示)连通至页宽打印平台31的喷墨头结构311的储墨槽(未图示)中,以进行连续供墨的打印作业。此外,由于本发明的页宽打印装置1的页宽打印平台31系由多个喷墨头结构311排列而成,故于打印时易出现线条不对齐或歪斜状况,为改善此项缺失,本装置更可包括一校正模块6,以进行打印校正作业。如第五图所示,于本实施例中,主要透过校正模块6架构于打印模块3的扫描单元(未图示),亦即当打印模块3进行位移及打印作业时,校正模块的扫描单元可针对打印后的稿件进行影像撷取作业。于一些实施例中,该扫描单元系可为接触式影像感应器(Contact Image Sensor,CIS)、电荷耦合元件(Charge Coupled Device,CCD)及摄影机的其中之一,但不以此为限。In addition, in some embodiments, the page
当扫描单元完成影像撷取作业之后,再将扫描后的稿件影像传递至一处理器(未图示)中进行相关演算,处理器再依据特定的校正程序对该稿件影像进行影像校正作业,进而可对该稿件影像进行校正与误差调整,最后,各喷墨头结构311将分别套用该校正程序后的校正影像进行输出作业,借此以把该校正后的校正影像进行输出打印。故该校正模块借由扫描单元与特定校正程序的配合,可自动检知打印状况、对影像稿件进行精密校正,如杂讯消除、倾斜校正等,再借由水平侦测及垂直侦测等方式进行区域关注处理,进而以校正及控制其校正影像的品质。After the scanning unit completes the image capture operation, the scanned manuscript image is transmitted to a processor (not shown) for related calculations, and the processor performs image correction on the manuscript image according to a specific calibration procedure, and then Correction and error adjustment can be performed on the manuscript image. Finally, each
综上所述,本发明的页宽打印装置1透过第一动力源32提供动力使升降装置33作垂直升降动作,配合第二动力源44带动滑动平台46于滑轨45上作水平往复运动,俾可进行页宽打印装置1的打印作业与清洁、维护作业。于打印时,滑动平台46系设置于清洁位置,以使其上的刮板元件41及喷墨头封存模块43维持待命状态,而页宽打印平台31借由第一动力源32的动力驱动,位移至打印位置执行打印作业;不打印时,页宽打印平台31再位移至维护位置及抵触封存位置,以进行清洁及封存维护作业。此外,本发明的页宽打印装置1更可透过连续供墨模块5以进行连续供墨的打印作业,以及透过校正模块6以自动检知打印状况、并确实控制印后稿件品质,进一步以共同提升页宽打印装置1的打印效能与打印品质。To sum up, the page
是以,本发明的页宽打印装置借由页宽打印平台的垂直升降位移及滑动平台上维护模块的相对水平往复移动,可达保护及清洁多个喷墨头结构的功效,且由于维护模块的多个刮板元件及喷墨头封存模块上的多个喷孔皆与本发明的多个喷墨头结构呈相对应设置的设计,使得本发明的页宽打印装置的多个喷墨头结构于清洁及维护上更加便利,改善习知页宽式喷墨装置喷墨头不易维护及清洁等问题,俾提升页宽装置的使用年限,并可降低企业在打印作业上的支出成本。因此,本发明的页宽打印装置,实为一具产业价值的发明,爰依法提出申请。Therefore, the page width printing device of the present invention can protect and clean multiple inkjet head structures through the vertical lift displacement of the page width printing platform and the relative horizontal reciprocating movement of the maintenance module on the sliding platform, and because the maintenance module The plurality of scraper elements and the plurality of nozzle holes on the inkjet head sealing module are designed to be correspondingly arranged with the plurality of inkjet head structures of the present invention, so that the plurality of inkjet heads of the page width printing device of the present invention The structure is more convenient in cleaning and maintenance, and improves the problem that the inkjet head of the conventional page-wide inkjet device is not easy to maintain and clean, so as to increase the service life of the page-wide device and reduce the cost of printing operations for enterprises. Therefore, the page width printing device of the present invention is actually an invention with industrial value, and an application is filed according to the law.
纵使本发明已由上述实施例详细叙述而可由熟悉本技艺人士任施匠思而为诸般修饰,然皆不脱如附申请专利范围所欲保护者。Even though the present invention has been described in detail by the above-mentioned embodiments, it can be modified in various ways by those skilled in the art, all of which are within the scope of the attached patent application.
