Definitions

  • the present invention relates to franking machines with a print head detachably mounted on a base, and the print head of which is with a print drum carrying printing rollers. It relates more particularly in such machines, to a device for locking in position the print wheels.
  • These printing wheels are, in known manner, rotatably mounted on the drum to allow them to be adjusted in position, in the absence of a franking operation. They are also slightly protruding on the periphery of the drum and rotatable with it, for printing fixed and variable postage information at each rotation of the drum.
  • the dials are used to print variable value and postage date information.
  • the printing drum therefore carries two sets of wheels for this variable information, which protrude from the drum through suitable openings in a plate engraved with postal stickers.
  • This engraved plate follows the periphery of the drum and carries the fixed postage information, in the form of imprints of the postage sticker and of the home office sticker, or another defined form.
  • This same drum generally carries, in addition, another engraved plate called advertising similar to the first but often retractable mounted, which is assigned to the printing of fixed advertising information.
  • other printing means such as one or more retractable pads are associated with the drum.
  • knobs are in known manner coupled to a motorized or manual control assembly with so-called driving pinions, by rack and pinion rods driven by the driving pinions and driving so-called pinions driven on the wheels.
  • the motorized control assembly is connected to a control card mounted in the base and itself connected to a data input means, for example a keyboard with display screen on the machine.
  • a franking machine with a removable printing head comprising printing knobs coupled to a control assembly motorized by pinions and sliding rods with racks and a locking device.
  • the locking device consists of a plate through which the main shaft and the sliding rods pass, this plate comprising a slot through which only a rack rod can slide. This locking device therefore allows, that only the rod to be adjusted is free, and only for the moment of adjustment. All other rods are locked to prevent unwanted movement of the rods.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a locking device which, once the adjustment of the knobs has been carried out, makes it possible to lock the racks and the printing knobs during their rotation with the drum at each printing cycle, and which or of a more compact arrangement and with fewer moving elements than the locking devices known from the prior art.
  • said first element is a protruding rod inside the first ring
  • the coupling means a finger on the control assembly locked in the width of a coupling slot of the first ring.
  • said first ring axially integral with the sheath belongs to said head, is mounted on the rear end portion of the sheath and has an open access slot at the end of the first ring on the side of the rear end of the sheath, defining said access to the rear racks for said adjustment control assembly mounted in the base in interface for the head.
  • Figures 4 and 5 correspond to Figures 2 and 3 and are a schematic sectional view at a second ring of the locking device and the corresponding schematic longitudinal section.
  • the franking machine is that which is the subject of French patent application No. 90 08 752 filed on July 10, 1990 in the name of the applicant. A description of this machine is included in the present application, with reference to FIG. 1 and / or to FIG. 2, with regard to the mounting of the head on the base.
  • This machine is with a print head 1 removable with respect to a base 2.
  • the head is received in a location provided for its purpose on the front of the base, against a recessed front wall 2A of the base.
  • the head 1 forms a security module, the different parts of which are mounted in a quasi-closed box 10, of access not authorized for the user. It essentially comprises a printing drum 11, a sheath 12, and a card 13 of the accounting circuits known as the accounting card of the machine.
  • the drum 11 is flat 11A, which is flush through a window 10A from the bottom of the housing, for the rest position of the drum. It carries on its periphery an engraved plate 14 for printing postal stamps and two sets of printing wheels for the postage amount and the date, such as the wheel 15, protruding through the plate 14.
  • the drum carries, in addition, advertising printing means similar to the plate 14 but retractable or is associated with other means additional retractable printing supports, such as stamps at one or more printing positions. These additional printing means are as such known and not illustrated.
  • the sheath 12 carries the drum on its front end portion inside the head. On the other hand, it has its protruding rear end part on the back of the head. It is rotatably mounted in the head in two rolling bearings 16 and 17.
  • the accounting card 13 is connected to a connector 18 for its connection to the base.
  • Base 2 forms another separate set, which is authorized access. It has an insertion slot 20 for articles under the head. It comprises a printing counter-roller 21, a spindle 22, a mechanism for driving the spindle and the counter-roller, not shown, and at least one card 24 of the control circuits of the base and of the head, called control card.
  • Pin 22 is horizontal. It is rotatably mounted in the base by rolling bearings, such as the bearing 27 on an intermediate spacer 26. It has its front end protruding in the location of the head on the base, through a wide opening 29 in the front wall 2A.
  • the rear part of the sheath is inserted into the base, the pin 22 and the sheath 12 are locked in rotation, and a connector 28 on the base and the connector 18 of the head ensure the connection of the head and base.
  • a mechanism illustrated at 30 ensures the blocking of the head in place on the base.
  • the base 2 also carries a data entry and display assembly 35 for the operator, such as a keyboard and an associated display screen. This assembly is mounted on the upper face of the base. It is coupled to the control card 24.
  • This machine is also equipped with a wheel adjustment device, which is as such known or is preferably in accordance with the applicant's patent application, of the same date of filing as the present application and having for title "Device for adjusting printing wheels in a franking machine”.
  • the adjustment device illustrated in FIG. 1 conforms to that of the above-mentioned application.

  • the control assembly 40 is mounted in the base 2, while the sliding rods 41 and the driven pinions 42 belong to the head.
  • This control assembly is in an annular housing 43 defined around the sheath on the spindle, between the spacer 26 of the base and its front wall 2A. It constitutes in the base 2 an interface for controlling the adjustment of the knobs of the head 1 and is thus called hereinafter.
  • In the base it receives its adjustment control signals from the control card 24, by a connection card 34.
  • the control interface 40 includes a set 45 of motors M and the same set 46 of cascading pinions, with a cascade of driving pinions per motor.
  • Each cascade is formed here of three driving pinions, in engagement between them and driven by their individual motor, one 46A motor, and another 46B intermediate and the third 46C of attack for one of the sliding rods.
  • the number of individual motors and driving pinion cascades 46 is advantageously chosen from six and corresponds to the six postage or date wheels.
  • the control interface 40 is mounted oscillating in its housing 43 around the sleeve on the spindle. It is controlled in angular position around the sleeve then kept at rest, from orientation control signals from the control card 24.
  • a semi-annular groove 44 on the rear part of the sleeve provides clearance for the driving pinions 46C when ordering. The profile of this groove corresponds to three pinion teeth driving 46C.
  • the control interface is mounted on a hub 50 centered on the sleeve on the spindle.
  • the hub is carried by the spacer 26 and guided in rotation by a plain bearing 51.
  • the vertical shoulder of the hub 50 parallel to the front and rear walls of the base and substantially against the spacer 26, forms a ring gear 55, with semi-peripheral teeth 55A.
  • a pinion 56 is engaged on the teeth 55A. It is mounted on the shaft of a motor 57, called the angular position control motor, connected to the control card 24 and mounted behind the spacer 26.
  • the driven pinions 42 are directly mounted on the axis of the different knurls to which they are individually assigned.
  • the sliding rack rods are identical to each other. They each have a rear rack 60 for their coupling to the driving pinions 46C and a front rack 62 coupled to each of the driven pinions, at their end parts. They extend side by side along generatrices of the sheath, and are embedded in longitudinal grooves 63 of the sheath, leaving access to the racks for the driving pinions 46C and the driven pinions 42.
  • the sliding rods or their racks form a group A of six elements assigned to the adjustment of the franking dials, another group D of six other elements assigned to the adjustment date dials and a third group S of three additional items assigned to the setting of additional dials.
  • These additional knobs are mounted identical to the previous ones on the drum but provide control of additional individual printing means associated with the drum.
  • ring 70 rotatable around the sheath 12 and rear racks 60, which is coupled to the adjustment control assembly 40. This ring is driven with the control assembly 40 relative to the sheath, for the operations of adjusting the wheels and during each operation postage.
  • the ring 70 is mounted axially integral with the sleeve on its rear end part. It belongs to the head and remains integral with the sheath during the disassembly of the head from the base.
  • the ring 70 has an open annular inner ring 71, the section of which is complementary to an entrance to the rear racks 60.
  • the rear end portion of the sleeve 12 has an annular groove 72 complementary to the ring 71 and passing through an entrance of the rear racks.
  • the rod is engaged in the groove 72 and in an inlet of the various racks, in particular in the position of rest or insertion of the head on the base, denoted PI on an axis of symmetry of the assembly 40, in FIG. 2 It remains engaged in the groove 72 and the inlet of the rear racks of two of the groups A, D and S, during the adjustment of the knobs corresponding to the third group of rear racks.
  • This ring may alternatively have a semi-annular inner groove corresponding to a rack tooth and the sheath a projecting annular rib which is complementary to it and corresponds to a rack tooth, this rib being interrupted by the grooves 63 for the racks.
  • the ring also has a slot 74 for access for the assembly 40 to the rear racks 60.
  • This access slot 74 is of width corresponding to the six racks of group A or D for the six driving pinions 46C which can engage on they. It is open on the rear end of the sheath, for the insertion and the longitudinal positioning of the driving pinions 46C in this slot, during the insertion of the head into the base.
  • This access slot 74 interrupts the annular ring on a corresponding sector 75.
  • the coupling means of the ring 70 to the control assembly 40 are constituted by a finger 76 on the hub 50, which is protruding internally towards the sleeve mounted on the spindle, and a coupling slot 77 on the ring.
  • the coupling slot 77 is open on the rear end of the sleeve for the engagement of the finger 76 in the slot and its sliding along this slot during mounting of the head on the base.
  • the finger 76 retained in the width of the slot secures in rotation the ring and the adjustment control assembly 40 relative to the sheath, during the angular orientation of the assembly 40, for which the sheath remains at rest, and during franking operations for which the assembly 40 remains fixed in the base.
  • the locking device preferably further comprises a second ring 70 'to guarantee perfect locking of the racks.
  • This second ring 70 ′ is mounted, axially integral with the sheath, on the sheath and the rear racks, like the first ring 70. It is also oscillating around the sheath like the first ring, but locks the racks in position, except for their adjustment .
  • This second ring 70 ′ has an annular inner ring 71 ′, complementary to a rack-intermesh, on its periphery, which is simply interrupted by three series of notches 75 ′ which open out through the ring 70 ′ or alternatively which can do not open through the ring. These series of notches 75 ′ correspond to the series of racks A, D, S respectively and allow access to the rear racks only for the adjustment of one or the other of the three series.
  • the rod 71 ′ corresponds to a peripheral groove 72 ′ on the sheath in which it is engaged.
  • This ring 70 ′ carries a member 76 ′ for actuating in oscillation around the sheath of a position known as locking of the racks, which is its normal position, and for which the notches 75 ′ are between the racks of the different groups, such as 'illustrated, and an authorized adjustment position for which the notches 75 ′ are opposite the different racks.
  • This oscillation command is half a step from the racks of the same group or an integer of no more than one half step. It is transmitted to the member 76 ′ either from the assembly 40, or from the control card 24, by a motor or other means such as an electromagnet, or jack or other equivalent. It ensures the setting of the ring 70 ′ in the authorized adjustment position just before the adjustment of a group of knobs and in the rack locking position just after each adjustment.
  • a groove can replace the rod 71 ′ with this time teeth replacing the notches 75 ′ and a rib replacing the groove 72 ′ on the sheath.
  • the ring 70 is terminally mounted on the sheath, with its rod 71 centered in the profile of the groove 44.
  • the ring 70 ′ is simply more internal than the ring 70 on the sheath.
  • the rod 71 provides a loose locking of the rear racks while their perfect locking is ensured by the rod 71 ′.
  • the rod 71 or 71 ' is preferably attached to its ring. It is fixed in the ring by pins or screws such as 78.
  • pins or screws such as 78.
  • any other suitable arrangement for securing the ring to the ring can be retained, or the ring can also be directly produced by manufacturing with the ring.
  • the mounting of the ring 70 on the rear end of the sheath is carried out by playing on the elasticity which the slots 74 and 77 give it, or by making it in two or more parts then joined together.
  • the ring 70 ′ is preferably in several parts.
  • the rear racks of the sliding rods not affected by the current adjustment are locked perfectly by the rod 71 while the rod 71 'leaves them all free.
  • the rear racks are locked by the rod 71 and, in the sector 75 without rod, by the driving pinions 46C of the assembly, and in addition by the rod 71 ′.
