The printing action is meshed central gears 41 with the output gear 36 of motor 35 by first～the 4th reduction gearing 37～40, configuration first planetary gear 42 and second planetary gear 43 on the periphery of this central gear 41, these planetary gears 42,43 mesh central gear 41 respectively.First planetary gear 42 is configured on the position with first toothless portion), 47 pars of cam wheel 45, second planetary gear 43 and the configuration of second toothless portion), 48 par ground, and respectively can with cam wheel 45 engagement and relative being supported on the central gear 41.The flange gear 49a of first central gear, 41 engagement flange gear mechanisms 49 is with respect to the rotation of this flange gear 49a and with one among flange gear 49b, the 49c of predetermined delay rotation engagement ratchet 50, another meshes idler gear 55.The a platen gear 51 engagements above-mentioned ratchet 50 coaxial with platen 7, another platen gear 52 engagement secondary sun wheels 53, in addition, above-mentioned idler gear 55 engagements the 3rd central gear 56.And, still can dispose the third line star gear 54 of this central gear 53 of engagement in the periphery of secondary sun wheel 53 with revolving round the sun, periphery at the 3rd central gear 56 still can dispose the fourth line star gear 57 that meshes this central gear 56 with revolving round the sun, and above-mentioned the third line star gear 54 and fourth line star gear 57 corresponding its revolution engagement ribbon spools are around gear 58.

Mark 59 is the printing head rods that keep heat seeking print head 8, this printing head rod 59 possesses the pin 60 on the cam path 46 that is clamped on above-mentioned cam wheel 45 on the side opposite with the installation side of heat seeking print head 8, and by extension spring 61 elastic stressings and can to wind with axle 62 be the axle rotation at center.And, the rotation of above-mentioned pin 60 corresponding above-mentioned cam wheels 45 and sliding with the edge part of cam path 46, printing head rod 59 be that the center rotates with axle 62.

Figure 14 represents to print the preceding A-stage of beginning.Under this state, as shown in the figure, heat seeking print head 8 is away from platen 7.

Figure 15 represents that the state that motor 35 is used in action is printed in entry into service just according to printing the indication that begins.If the printing action is rotated on the positive veer shown in the arrow in the drawings with motor 35, then this driving force is delivered on the cam wheel 45 by gear 36～40, first central gear 41, first planetary gear 42, this cam wheel 45 is rotated in a clockwise direction, and selling 60 edge parts along cam path 46 moves, printing head rod 59 is that the center rotates in the counterclockwise direction because of the elastic force of extension spring 61 with axle 62, and heat seeking print head 8 moves to platen 7.In addition, the printing action is delivered on the flange gear 49a of flange gear mechanism 49 with the driving force of motor 35 by gear 36～40, first central gear 41, but, the flange function plays a role between this flange gear 49a and another flange gear 49b, and therefore above-mentioned flange gear 49b does not rotate.Above-mentioned flange gear 49b meshes platen gears 51 by ratchet 50, but owing to this flange gear 49b does not rotate, so driving force is not delivered on the platen 7.At this moment, the flange function does not play a role between flange gear 49a and the flange gear 49c, therefore the driving force of first central gear 41 is delivered on the 3rd central gear 56 by idler gear 55, but because fourth line star gear 57 and ribbon spool are around gear 58 disengagings, so colour band wireline reel 9 is not driven.Like this, be in the downward way of print head at heat seeking print head 8, platen 7 and colour band wireline reel 9 are not driven yet.

Figure 16 represents the state of heat seeking print head 8 after platen 7 is pushed end.Printing will begin under this state.At this moment, as shown in the figure, first planetary gear 42 falls into first toothless portion) 47 of cam wheel 45 by the rotation of cam wheel 45.Therefore, action is cut off with the transmission of the driving force of motor 35, and the rotation of cam wheel 45 stops, and heat seeking print head 8 remains the state that is crimped on the platen 7.On the other hand, at this moment, finish during being connected between flange gear 49a and flange gear 49b, thereby the driving force of motor 35 is delivered to by ratchet 50 and drives platen 7 on the platen gear 51.Have, drive secondary sun wheel 53 and the third line star gear 54 by platen gear 52, the third line star gear 54 engagement ribbon spools are around gear 58, and transmission of drive force drives colour band wireline reel 9 with rotation.

Figure 17 represents to print and finishes and heat seeking print head 8 leaves the state of removing when pushing from platen 7.If printing finishes, the drive actions of then reversing motor 35.Like this, first central gear 41 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, when first planetary gear 42 breaks away from from first toothless portion) 47 of cam wheel 45, second planetary gear, 43 engagement with cams gears 45, driving force by this gearing motor 35 is delivered on the cam wheel 45, cam wheel 45 rotates in the counterclockwise direction from the state of Figure 16, and the rotation of this cam wheel 45 makes that printing head rod 59 is rotated in a clockwise direction and heat seeking print head 8 leaves from platen 7.On the other hand, ratchet 50 is rotated in a clockwise direction when printing action is just being changeed with motor 35 and the driving force of motor 35 is delivered on the platen gear 51, but when the printing action is reversed with motor 35, block the transmission of this driving force, so platen 7 does not rotate.In addition, this moment, the rotation of first central gear 41 made the flange gear 49a of flange gear mechanism 49 rotate, but the flange function plays a role between this flange gear 49a and flange gear 49c, therefore idler gear 55 and the 3rd central gear 56 do not rotate, fourth line star gear 57 is in the state that breaks away from around gear 58 from ribbon spool, and does not carry out the transmission to the driving force of colour band wireline reel 9.

Figure 18 represents that the print head that heat seeking print head 8 leaves from platen 7 lifts the processing action that finishes the back colour band rolling-in of being carried out.After heat seeking print head 8 leaves from platen 7, carry out the counter clockwise direction rotation of cam wheel 45 and second toothless portion) 48 that second planetary gear 43 falls into cam wheel 45, the rotation of cam wheel 45 stops, and keeps the print head of heat seeking print head 8 to lift state.On the other hand, at this moment, remove the flange function between flange gear 49a and flange gear 49c, driving force is delivered on idler gear 55, the central gear 56 from flange gear 49a, fourth line star gear 57 engagement ribbon spools are around gear 58, and rotation drives colour band wireline reel 9 on coiling direction.Like this, leave the colour band of reeling after relaxing from platen 7 by heat seeking print head 8, should be lax thereby eliminate.Print head when the rolling-in of this colour band finishes by the correspondence printing lifts in scheduled time of setting of action counter-rotating and drives printing and move and carry out with motor 35.Like this, driving single printing action prints with motor 35 and by the action of carrying out Figure 14～Figure 18 repeatedly.

The sequence of operation when then, information such as printing its title on the label surface of CD D being described.At first, switch cover 5 closes at above the apparatus main body 2, and inserts under the state of flap 23a covering in insertion mouth 21 usefulness of this switch cover 5, overcomes spring 29 action button 27a is pressed downward to.To should the tight sheet 26 of operation sheet be center rotation and the chucking of removing the hook portion 24 of this clamping sheet 26 and switch cover 5 with axle 28c, the chucking of 5 pairs of apparatus main bodies 2 of cancel switch lid, when the free end side of switch cover 5 was boosted, hook portion 24 moved to outside the recess 25 and switch cover 5 forms openable state.Finger tip is held switch cover 5 manually switch cover 5 rotated upward and to open under this state, as shown in Figure 3 as open system main body 2 above.If remove being pressed into of operation push-button 27a, then action button 27a and above-mentioned clamping sheet 26 are got back to initial position by the active force of spring 29.

Then, the print cartridge 85 of packing in the box filling department 6 on apparatus main body 2, and after this is packed into, once more switch cover 5 is closed at above the apparatus main body 2.To should Closing Switch the hook portion 24 of lid 5 enter in the recess 25 and with above-mentioned clamping sheet 26 chuckings, be clamped on switch cover 5 on the apparatus main body 2 and keep this closure state by this chucking.The suitable closure state of this switch cover 5 is detected by switch cover switch 33.

Secondly, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, its label surface is inserted in the apparatus main bodies 2 CD D under the state that erects of printing equipment 1 front side from peristome 16, again along transport that path 15 is moved and the box filling department 6 of packing in.At this moment, CD D at its lower end part in transporting path 15 and the roughly pars intermedia of above-below direction is inserted in the insertion mouth 21 of switch cover 5 and transport path 15 and insert and move when being directed in mouthfuls 21 at this.Have again, be inserted at CD D and inserted mouth at 21 o'clock, insert flap 23a and rotated up and erect by crowded the pushing away of this CD D.

If CD D is inserted in the box filling department 6, then as shown in FIG. 13A, its abut side edges that moves front side is to the location division 15c that transports path 15, and the bottom is installed on the predetermined installation site with guiding face 15a butt, and this CD D is detected by disk detecting sensor 13.When CD D is installed in the predetermined installation site of box filling department 6, about first half of this CD D protrudes in the upper side of switch cover 5, therefore use finger tip rotating disc D subsequently, and adjust with preprinted column direction on the label surface that will be printed on CD D in advance and the length direction that inserts flap 23a and put abreast.

When CD D being inserted in the above-mentioned insertion mouth 21 and inserting flap 23a and rotate up, locking component 31a and this action in linkage as Fig. 2 and shown in Figure 4 as project to outside it and enter in the through hole 27g of action button 27a from the wall of switch cover 5 one sidepieces.Like this, make that being pressed into of action button 27a is that the chucking of the hook portion 24 of clamping sheet 26 and switch cover 5 is removed and to be become and can not carry out, and the top gripping orientation of relative apparatus main bodies of maintained switch lid 52.Therefore, after CD D is inserted box filling department 6, can prevent that accident from opening the faulty operation of switch cover 5.

Thereafter, the predetermined key of operated key input part 3 is also imported printing information, and predetermined key and the indication of operation begins printing again.Move to platen 7 operating heat seeking print head 8, CD D is clamped with this heat seeking print head 8 and platen 7 and is limited.And CD D transports to discharge portion 15b along transporting path 15 by the rotation of platen 7, transports in the way at this, and predetermined informations such as its title are printed on the label surface of CD D by heat seeking print head 8.

When printing finished, CD D was transported to discharge portion 15b, and heat seeking print head 8 leaves and removes by the clamping of heat seeking print head 8 and 7 couples of CD D of platen from platen 7, thereby removed the restriction of CD D.Be positioned at CD D under the state of discharge portion 15b, its downstream part of CD D is inserted into to be inserted in mouthfuls 21, and inserts flap 23a and be in the state of erecting, and the chucking of the hook portion of clamping sheet 26 and switch cover 5 is removed the state that can not carry out that is in.

So if the operator takes out CD D from printing equipment 1, then the insertion flap 23a that erects with the label surface butt of CD D is that the center is rotated down because of deadweight with axle 22, inserts mouth 21 and cover because of this rotation is inserted into flap 23a.Side surface side with a sidepiece that is hidden in switch cover 5 is extracted and moved to action that locking component 31a and this insertion flap 23a are rotated down interlock from the through hole 27g of action button 27a, and like this, being pressed into of action button 27a becomes possibility.Then, print cartridge in the box filling department 6 85 to be replaced by under the situation of other print cartridge 85 and tape drum 70, the chucking of cancel switch lid 5 is opened the peristome of box filling department 6 to carry out this replacing by switch cover 5 is rotated up under this state by downward pressing operation button 27a.

Like this, in this printing equipment 1, after being encased in CD D in the apparatus main body 2, as long as the printing release till being discharged to discharge portion 15b to CD D during in CD D be present in and transport in the path 15, then the push operation to action button 27a is stoped by the locking component 31a with the action interlock of inserting flap 23a, and CD D is being begun to remove this state after apparatus main body 2 (transporting path 15) takes out.Therefore, can prevent that accident from opening switch cover 5 and inserting the label surface of mouthfuls 21 edge part damage CD D, thus and inadvertent depression action button 27a and make unstable and the transporting property that diminish CD D of the closure state of switch cover 5 can prevent to impose improper printing and the undesirable condition that causes at CD D.

When this printing finished, CD D was transported to the position of the discharge portion 15b that transports path 15 end of downstream side, and stops with the state that is supported on this discharge portion 15b.Then, describe with Figure 17 and Figure 18, by counter-rotating drive the printing action with motor 35 so that heat seeking print head 8 leaves from platen 7, drive printing by counter-rotating in the set time again and move with motor 35 so that carry out the rolling-in of colour band 87, end process (step S27, finish) then.

As described in the printing treatment of this Figure 21 and Figure 22, pack in the box filling department 6 on apparatus main body 2 behind the print cartridge 85 switch cover 5 on apparatus main body 2 when closed, depart from and inappropriate from predetermined closing position at this closure state, thereby the chucking of hook portion 24 and clamping sheet 26 is under the incomplete situation of chucking of 5 pairs of apparatus main bodies 2 of switch cover, detects these situations by switch cover switch 33.And, if at the CD D that in apparatus main body 2, packs under this state, and detect this CD D by disk detecting sensor 13, be not exclusively to be the warning of purport by the chucking that sends by the control of control part 100 with switch cover 5 then, and should warn content to show and show (step S24) in the portion 4 based on the detection signal of this disk detecting sensor 13 and the detection signal of above-mentioned switch cover switch 33.

Therefore, the operator notices that by this warning the closure state of switch cover 5 is inappropriate, and corrects this closure state.If the closure state at switch cover 5 keeps carrying out under the unsuitable state printing action, the edge part etc. that then exists the CD D transport can abut to the insertion mouth 21 of switch cover 5 causes carrying out the problem of incorrect printing, but owing to carried out this warning in advance, and the operator corrects the closure state of switch cover 5, so can not carry out undesired printing.

In addition, cover the incomplete of 5 pairs of apparatus main bodies, 2 chuckings by switch cover switch 33 sense switches, and when under this state, detecting with respect to the packing into of the CD D in the apparatus main body 2, control so that forbid the driving of platen 7 and heat seeking print head 8 by control part 100 by disk detecting sensor 13.Therefore, under the incomplete situation of the closure state of switch cover 5, can not print action yet, thereby can avoid carrying out the unfavorable condition of incorrect printing even the faulty operation printing begins key.

Figure 23 and Figure 24 represent second embodiment, in this embodiment, are provided with and cover the insertion flap that inserts mouth 21.And in this second embodiment, side is provided with bar member 23b below switch cover 5.

Bar member 23b has sliding contacting part 23v and linkage portion 23w and forms and is the L shape, in the middle of it base portion by axle 23x rotation be installed in freely switch cover 5 below.This bar member 23b is flexibly stressed along the clockwise direction of Figure 24 by spring member 23y, abuts to stops 23z usually and goes up and this clockwise rotation of restriction, and remain on initial position.

And when bar member 23b was positioned at initial position, sliding contacting part 23v was positioned at insertion mouth 21 downsides of switch cover 5 and tilts this insertion of crosscut mouthfuls 21 and dispose.That is, the direction of this sliding contacting part 23v from its base portion to its front towards transport path 15 transport upstream side and the crosscut of tilting inserts mouthfuls 21 and dispose.The linkage portion 23w of bar member 23b goes up by axle 23x rotation and connects locking component 31b freely, the rotation of the corresponding bar member of this locking component 31b 23b and move on the width of switch cover 5 and can be with respect to the wall of switch cover 5 one sidepieces outstanding or hide.

On the action button 27a on be arranged on apparatus main body 2 with the identical formation through hole of above-mentioned first embodiment situation 27g.And from the outstanding action of a sidepiece wall of switch cover 5, this locking component 31b enters in the through hole 27g of aforesaid operations button 27a by the rotation of the corresponding bar member of above-mentioned locking component 31b 23b.

On the label surface of CD D during the predetermined text line of printing etc., on switch cover 5 closes at apparatus main body 2 and under the state of chucking, at first, push button 27a, the chucking of 5 pairs of apparatus main bodies 2 of cancel switch lid, pick at switch cover 5 and manually switch cover 5 is rotated up and opens, the print cartridge of packing in the box filling department of apparatus main body 2 is closed into switch cover 5 above the apparatus main body 2 after this is packed into and chucking once more.

Then, CD D is inserted in the apparatus main body 2 from peristome 16 towards erecting under the state of printing equipment 1 front side with its label surface, and along transporting path 15 and inserting mouth 21 and move so that be encased in the box filling department.At this moment, the sliding contacting part 23v of bar member 23b prolongs in inserting mouthful 21 downsides as this insertion mouth 21 of inclination crosscut, therefore, if be inserted into CD D in the insertion mouth 21 and edge insertion mouth 21 moving CD D, then this CD D abuts to sliding contacting part 23v and promotes leverage component 23b, and leverage component 23b overcomes spring member 23y and is the center along the counter clockwise direction rotation of Figure 24 with axle 23z.And locking component 31b gives prominence to and enters in the through hole 27g of action button 27a from the wall of switch cover 5 one sidepieces by the rotation of bar member 23b.

Have again, in the time of in CD D charging apparatus main body 2, mistakenly will be from the top of switch cover 5 by inserting mouthfuls 21 and when vertically inserting, inserting mouthful sliding contacting part 23v of 21 downside inclination crosscuts ground configuration bar member 23b, therefore stop insertion by above-mentioned sliding contacting part 23v, can notice that therefore direction of insertion is wrong and from correct laterally inserting from vertical direction.With CD D when correct direction is inserted, as mentioned above, locking component 31b gives prominence to and enters in the through hole 27g of action button 27a from switch cover 5 one sidepieces, like this, to the operation of action button 27a is that the operation that the chucking of 5 pairs of apparatus main bodies 2 of switch cover is removed becomes and can not carry out, thereby after being inserted into CD D in the apparatus main body 2, can prevent that accident from opening the faulty operation of switch cover 5.

In this second embodiment, set bar member 23b in the face of transporting in the path 15 of CD D, its sliding contacting part of this bar member 23b 23v is encased in the CD D promotion on the installation site and rotates to the precalculated position from initial position, sliding contacting part 23v sliding-contact to be displaced into transport in the path 15 and move to from the installation site drain position 15b CD D label surface and be positioned at CD D and be maintained at when transporting path 15 on the precalculated position and constitute, simultaneously, rotating to the precalculated position by the initial position from bar member 23b makes locking component 31b be moved to the go forward side by side locking of line operate button 27a of latched position from non-locked position to constitute.

If after printing finishes, the CD D on the discharge portion 15b is taken out to outside the device, then break away from by the crowded of CD D and push away, bar member 23b under the active force of spring member 23y with axle 23x be the center along rotating on the clockwise direction of Figure 24, simultaneously, abut to stops 23z and move and be back to initial position.And by the restoring action of bar member 23b, locking component 31b moves and extracts from the through hole 27g of action button 27a to the direction of switch cover 5 inboards of submerging.Like this, the operation to action button 27a becomes possibility.Then, be under the situation of other print cartridge and tape drum with the replacing ink cartridge in the apparatus main body 2, pressing operation button 27a and cancel switch cover 5 chucking downwards, and the peristome that manually switch cover 5 is rotated up to open the box filling department under this state carries out this replacing.

Like this, in this second embodiment, during in CD D charging apparatus main body 2, by the pressing operation of locking component 31b prevention to button 27a, therefore, can prevent that accident from opening switch cover 5 and inserting the label surface of mouthfuls 21 edge part damage CD D, thus and inadvertent depression action button 27a and make unstable and the transporting property that diminish CD D of the closure state of switch cover 5 can prevent from CD D is imposed inappropriate printing and the undesirable condition that causes.

Figure 25 and Figure 26 represent the 3rd embodiment, and in this embodiment, a part of inserting the sidepiece of flap 23c extends to its side and the conduct shielding portion 23d corresponding with action button 27a.This shielding portion 23d is the thin box-shaped of lower aperture, as shown in figure 25, when inserting mouthful 23c body of one who has dropped dead by the roadside on switch cover 5 and cover when inserting mouthfuls 21, make operation become possibility away from action button 27a upper side to this action button 27a, as shown in figure 26, when erecting, move to the configuration side of action button 27a and cover this action button 27a by this action, thereby make operation become and to carry out action button 27a when inserting that flap 23c rotates up and with respect to switch cover 5.

Presswork under this embodiment situation is described in proper order.At first, switch cover 5 closes at above the apparatus main body 2, under the state of the insertion mouth 21 that covers this switch cover 5 with insertion flap 23c, and pressing operation button 27a, the chucking of cancel switch lid 5, and open switch cover 5 with in the box filling department 6 that print cartridge 85 is packed into.At this moment, the shielding portion 23d of insertion flap 23c is opening-wide state on every side away from action button 27a top action button 27a's, thereby can carry out the operation to this action button 27a without barrier.

Thereafter, switch cover 5 closes at above the apparatus main body 2 and switch cover 5 is clamped on the apparatus main body 2, under this state, as shown in figure 26, with CD D make its label surface under the state that erects of printing equipment 1 front side, be inserted in the apparatus main body 2 from peristome 16 and the box filling department 6 of packing in.At this moment, rotated up and erect by crowded the pushing away of CD D.And the shielding portion 23d that inserts flap 23c is to should spinning movement and overlap with action button 27a, with the integral body of this shielding portion 23d overlapping operation button 27a.Like this, the pressing operation of action button 27a can not carry out, and the gripping orientation above 5 pairs of apparatus main bodies of maintained switch lid 2, therefore, after CD D is inserted into box filling department 6, can prevent that accident from opening the faulty operation of switch cover 5.

Then, the predetermined key of operated key input part 3 input printing information is operated predetermined key indication beginning printing again.Later action is identical with the situation of above-mentioned first embodiment, prints predetermined informations such as its title on the label surface of CD D by the heat seeking print head, and when printing finished, CD D was transported to discharge portion 15b.

If will being positioned at the CD D of discharge portion 15b, the operator is taken out to outside the auto levelizer, the label surface of butt and CD D and the insertion flap 23c that erects is that the center is rotated down because of deadweight with axle 22 then, and use insertion flap 23c to cover by this rotation and insert mouth 21, simultaneously, shielding portion 23d is moved to the top and leaves from action button 27a, and the operation of action button 27a is become possibility.

Then, be under the situation of other print cartridge or tape drum with the replacing ink cartridge in the apparatus main body 2, the chucking of pressing operation button 27a and cancel switch lid 5 manually rotates up switch cover 5 so that open the peristome 6a of box filling department 6 and carry out this replacing under this state downwards.

Like this, in the 3rd embodiment, CD D is inserted in the apparatus main body 2 afterwards to be expelled to discharge portion 15b during and under the state of CD D charging apparatus main body 2 (transporting path 15), by the pressing operation of the shielding portion 23d prevention of inserting flap 23c to button 27a, therefore, can prevent that thereby accident from opening the label surface that switch cover 5 inserts mouthfuls 21 edge part damage CD D, thereby and unexpectedly be pressed into action button 27a and make unstable and the transporting property that diminish CD D of the closure state of switch cover 5 can prevent from CD D is imposed the undesirable condition that improper printshop causes.

Figure 27 to Figure 30 represents the 4th embodiment.In this embodiment, possesses the insertion flap 23e that on the direction that is orthogonal with respect to being arranged on the slit-shaped insertion mouth 21 on this switch cover 5, can in preset range, slide in the inboard of switch cover 5.This insertion flap 23e possesses to be configured under the state with CD D charging apparatus main body 2 not and closedly inserts the lid main part 23p of mouthfuls 21 position and prolong the 23q of bar portion of setting from this lid main part 23p to the toe lateral of apparatus main body 2.With the end of the corresponding lid main part of the peristome 16 sides 23p of apparatus main body 2 on similarly form the 23m of sloping edge portion with the insertion flap 23a of first embodiment.In addition, form 45 ° the rake 23r of tilting at the leading section of the 23q of bar portion, its leading section abuts on the connecting rod 28.

In this embodiment, as Figure 27 and shown in Figure 29, thereby by the operation of action button 27a between the clamping sheet 26 of the hook portion 24 of the cancel switch that moves lid 5 and apparatus main body 2 sides the connecting rod 28 of chucking portion is separable and connect therebetween.Promptly, end 28a of the connecting rod 28 that is connected with action button 27a and be provided with on the other end 28b of connecting rod 28 of clamping sheet 26 and form protuberance 28d and recess 28e respectively, this protuberance 28d is chimeric with recess 28e so that an end 28a of connecting rod 28 is connected with the other end 28b, remove protuberance 28d and the chimeric of recess 28e and an end 28a of connecting rod 28 can be separated with the other end 28b.And the other end 28b of connecting rod 28 possesses and abuts to the rake 23r that is formed on the 23q of bar portion that inserts mouthful 23e and be the rake 28f of 45 ° of inclinations with its sliding-contact.In addition, the other end 28b of connecting rod 28 is by the end 28a reinforcing of spring member 28g to connecting rod 28.

In this printing equipment, by insert mouthfuls 21 with CD D charging apparatus main body 2 in the time, the inserting side leading section of CD D is met the 23m of sloping edge portion that inserts flap 23e, is squeezed by CD D and pushes away and move and move to open to the toe lateral of apparatus main body 2 and insert mouthfuls 21 open position (Figure 29, Figure 30) thereby insert flap 23e.

If by making insertion flap 23e move to open position in the CD D charging apparatus main body 2, the rake 23r sliding-contact that then is arranged on the rake 28f on the other end 28b of connecting rod 28 and inserts the 23q of bar portion of flap 23e, therefore move away from the direction of the other end 28a of connecting rod 28 on the other end 28b of connecting rod 28 edge, thereby an end 28a of connecting rod 28 separates (Figure 29, Figure 30) with the other end 28b.Therefore, under the state with CD D charging apparatus main body 2, the operation of operator presses action button 27a is fine, but this steering force is not delivered to clamping sheet 26 sides, thereby the operator is invalid to the operation of action button 27a.

Take out from apparatus main body 2 to the printing of CD D and with CD D if finish, then the active force by spring member 28g restores to initial position and in an end 28a combination of connecting rod 28 the other end 28b of connecting rod 28, simultaneously, insertion flap 23e is back to initial position by the other end 28b of connecting rod 28 by crowded pushing away.

Like this, in the 4th embodiment, in during after inserting CD D in the apparatus main body 2, extremely discharging and under the state of CD D charging apparatus main body 2 from discharge portion 15b, pressing operation to action button 27a is invalid, and do not remove the chucking that is clamped on the switch cover 5 on the apparatus main body 2 under closure state, therefore, can prevent that accident from opening switch cover 5 and inserting the label surface of mouthfuls 21 edge part damage CD D, thus and inadvertent depression action button 27a and make unstable and the transporting property that diminish CD D of the closure state of switch cover 5 can prevent from CD D is imposed the undesirable condition that improper printshop causes.

Figure 31 represents the 5th embodiment, in this embodiment, and the solenoid 31d that locking component 31c that setting can tighten with action button 27a and unclamp in apparatus main body 2 and conduct drive the drive source of this locking component 31c.

Figure 32 represents the block diagram of control system of the printing equipment of the 5th embodiment.The 5th embodiment is identical substantially with the control system of printing equipments such as first embodiment shown in Figure 20, forbids using in the mechanism difference on this aspect of drive source but remove at the chucking of switch cover 5.Shown in figure 32, use solenoid as this drive source, and solenoid 31d is connected to control part 100 by drive circuit 142.In addition, in the printing equipment of the 5th embodiment, control part 100 according to from the information of disk sensor 14 often monitoring arrangement main body 2 transport whether there is CD D in the path 15.Have again, as mentioned above, disk detecting sensor 14 is arranged on the position that is from upstream to the CD D that moves in the downstream in the moving range that can detect in transporting path 15, if have CD D from the assembling position of printing beginning in the path 15 to the transporting of drain position 15b that printing finishes, then it can be detected.If one can be provided with a plurality of inadequately.

Have, if describe, then above-mentioned solenoid 31d is normally closed again, and at this moment, above-mentioned locking component 31c is in not the non-locked position with action button 27a chucking, and the operation of action button 27a be in may state.And, CD D is being inserted in the apparatus main body 2 and during by the disk detecting sensor 14 detection CD D of box filling department 6, drive solenoid 31d based on this signal and by the control of control part 100, action locking component 31 by this solenoid 31d is outstanding and move to latched position with action button 27a chucking, and the operation by this chucking action button 27a is maintained at the state that can not carry out.

When using this printing equipment 1 on the label surface of CD D, to print, at first, pressing operation button 27a, the switch cover 5 that picks at also manually rotates up switch cover 5 to be opened, in the box filling department 6 of again print cartridge being packed into.

Then, close on the apparatus main body 2 switch cover 5 and chucking, and under this state CD D is being inserted in the apparatus main body 2 and in the box filling department 6 of packing into from peristome 16 with the state that erects of its label surface towards printing equipment 1 front side, and be assembled in predetermined assigned address.

If CD D is assembled in assembling position predetermined in the box filling department 6, then detects this CD D, and this signal is delivered to control part 100, and utilize the control of control part 100 to drive solenoid 31d based on this signal by disk detecting sensor 14.And, action locking component 31d by the solenoid 31d after driving gives prominence to and tightens with action button 27a, thereby action button 27a is in the state that operation can not be carried out, therefore, after CD D being inserted in the box filling department 6, can prevent that accident from opening the faulty operation of switch cover 5.

Then, the predetermined key of operated key input part 3 is also imported printing information, operates predetermined key indication beginning printing again.Identical in this later action with the situation of above-mentioned first embodiment, and carry out printing treatment with Figure 21 and order shown in Figure 22, and on the label surface of CD D, print the predetermined information of its title etc. by the heat seeking print head, after printing finished, CD D was transported to discharge portion 15b.

If CD D is expelled to discharge portion 15b and the CD D that finishes printing is taken out to outside the device, then become non-detection status from detected state by disk detecting sensor 14 CD D, and this signal delivered to control part 100, pass through the energising of the control stop solenoid 31d of control part 100 in view of the above, locking component 31c is from action button 27a disengaging and break away from this chucking, and the operation of action button 27a is in the state that may carry out.

Figure 33 represents to be removed by the chucking that the control part 100 that uses above-mentioned solenoid 31d carries out switch cover 5 and forbids the flow chart handled.In the power switch of connecting printing equipment 1, constantly monitor the state of disk detecting sensor 14 by control part 100, if detect exist (S101 is) that is arranged in the CD D that transports path 15 by disk detecting sensor 14, then the chucking that carries out switch cover 5 by the energising of carrying out solenoid 31d is removed the processing (S102) forbid, be not arranged in the existing of the CD D that transports path 15 (S101 not) if detect, then the energising of stop solenoid 31d and carry out the processing (S103) that the chucking of switch cover 5 is removed by disk detecting sensor 14.And, drive timer and carry out the processing of S101 to S103 with predetermined time interval repeatedly.

Like this, in this printing equipment 1, in CD D charging apparatus main body 2 during, the pressing operation of action button 27a is stoped by locking component 31c.Therefore, the situation of the 5th embodiment can prevent that also accident from opening switch cover 5 and inserting the label surface of mouthfuls 21 edge part damage CD D, thus and inadvertent depression action button 27a and make unstable and the transporting property that diminish CD D of the closure state of switch cover 5 can prevent from CD D is imposed the undesirable condition that improper printshop causes.
