摘要:
A sheet transfer assembly is provided for transferring a sheet from a supplying conveyor to a receiving conveyor. The receiving conveyor includes a transport belt having a support surface for supporting the sheet on a contact side of the sheet. The supplying conveyor is arranged for advancing the sheet in a transport direction towards the receiving conveyor. The sheet transfer assembly includes a sheet guidance element arranged downstream of the supplying conveyor in the transport direction for guiding the sheet towards the receiving conveyor, the sheet guidance element includes a guidance surface for supporting the sheet at its contact side; wherein the guidance surface includes two guide faces. Both guide faces extending in the transport direction over the support surface of the transport belt and being cooperatively arranged for supporting both side edge portions at the sides of the sheet in a lateral direction, which is substantially perpendicular to the transport direction, thereby forming a space in between one another allowing a middle portion of the sheet to move towards the support surface of the transport belt.

A method for printing on a plurality of sheets includes the steps of: arranging the plurality of sheets on a support surface of an endless conveyor, the plurality of sheets including a first sheet and a second sheet being arranged at a sheet-to-sheet distance between one another; advancing the plurality of sheets on the support surface in a conveying direction along a print head assembly for applying droplets of ink on the sheets; providing a suction force through perforations arranged in the support surface for holding the plurality of sheets on the support surface, wherein the suction force provides an air flow through uncovered perforations present in the sheet-to-sheet distance in a print region between the print head assembly and the support surface; and forming an image by the print head assembly on each of the plurality of sheets supported on the support surface of the conveyor by applying droplets of ink. The method further includes the step of controlling the sheet-to-sheet distance in response to a dew formation attribute for indicating dew formation on the print head assembly.
摘要:
An apparatus (24) for cooling media sheets (16, 18, 22) in a printer, the apparatus comprising - a number of cooling units (28, 30); - a conveyer having a first conveyer path (34) adapted to feed the media sheets successively through the cooling units; and - a switch (38) adapted to deflect selected ones of the media sheets into a second conveyer path (34),
wherein the switch (38) is disposed upstream of a last one (30) of the cooling units and downstream of a first one (28) of the cooling units, and the second conveyer path (40) bypasses the last one of the cooling units, and wherein the conveyer comprises a decelerating mechanism (42) for decelerating the sheets in the first conveyer path (34) between the first one of the cooling units (28) and the last one of the cooling units(30).

A sheet transport assembly (150) is provided for transporting a sheet along a process unit configured for applying a process to the sheet. The sheet transport assembly comprises: a conveying unit (160) comprising a transport belt (11) and a deflection element (13c). The transport belt is configured for advancing the sheet in a transport direction along the process unit to the deflection element, the sheet being placed with a contact side on the belt and a process side towards the process unit. The deflection element is arranged in contact with the transport belt to deflect the transport belt downstream in the transport direction relative to the process unit. The sheet transport assembly further comprises a separating unit (300) for separating the sheet from the transport belt. The separating unit is connected to an air supply source. The separating unit comprises a restrain blowing device (200) arranged for directing a restrain air flow onto the process side of the sheet in a restrain area for urging the sheet towards the transport belt proximate to the deflection element. The separating unit further comprises a lifting blowing (100) device arranged for directing a lifting air flow onto the contact side of the sheet in a lifting area for lifting the sheet from the transport belt. The lifting area is arranged extending only over a middle portion of a width of the sheet, the width being a dimension of the sheet in a lateral direction perpendicular to the transport direction.

The invention provides a transport mechanism (2) for transporting sheets (S) of a print medium in a printing system (1). The transport mechanism (2) comprises: a first conveyor device (20) having a first conveyor body (21) which is configured to hold a plurality of sheets (S) of print medium and is movable to convey the sheets (S) along the transport path (P); and a transfer system (50) comprising a second conveyor device (30) having a second conveyor body (31) which is configured to hold the sheets (S) and is movable to convey the sheets (S) further along the transport path (P). The transfer system (50) is configured to transfer the sheets (S) from the first conveyor body (21) to the second conveyor body (31) in a transfer region (T). The second conveyor body (31) is arranged adjacent the first conveyor body (21) in the transfer region (T), and the transfer system (50) includes suction means configured to provide an under-pressure (U2) at the second conveyor body (21) for contactless transfer of the sheets (S) from the first conveyor body (23) to the second conveyor body (23). The invention provides an associated method of transporting sheets (S) of a print medium in a printing system (1).
