In Fig. 4, on valve plate 62,, be formed with a plurality of valves 620 corresponding to the position of the first static pressure unit 611.Fig. 6 represents the enlarged drawing of a valve 620.
Among Fig. 6, valve 620 possesses: barrier film 621, support portion 622, the first arm 623, and second arm 624.
Two the first arm 623 dual-grippers that barrier film 621 passes through to form in one direction are in annular support part 622.Support portion 622 by with the direction of the first arm 623 quadratures on two second arms 624 forming, in valve plate 62 dual-grippers in the matrix of the exterior lateral area that becomes valve 620.Like this, valve 620 has: make the different and support barrier film 621 of the distance from the center that is positioned at a pair of the first arm 623 that forms on the straight line and second arm 624, so-called universal joints structure that can displacement on the thickness direction of the first arm 623 and second arm 624.
Being shaped as of barrier film 621 is discoid, and through hole 625 is formed at the center.
Between the matrix of support portion 622 and valve plate 62, be formed with gap 626, between support portion 622 and barrier film 621, be formed with gap 627.
Valve plate 62 and valve 620 can be by metal etching or the shaping or the stamping-out of stamping-out, resin form.
In Fig. 4, on sept plate 63,, be formed with a plurality of breakthrough parts 630 as valve cap corresponding to valve 620 as the 4th plate-shaped member.The size of the peristome of breakthrough part 630 is the size of valve 620 degree.
On main body 64,, be formed with a plurality of breakthrough parts (hole) as the second static pressure unit 640 corresponding to barrier film 621.Forming greatly of the peristome of the second static pressure unit 640 is littler than barrier film 621.
In addition, a plurality of second static pressure unit 640 are communicated with respectively by stream 641.
On coffer 65, the suction inlet 51 corresponding to fan 50 forms porose 650.The suction inlet 51 of fan 50 is communicated with stream 641 by hole 650.Thereby the second static pressure unit 640 is communicated with fan 50.
The part sectioned view of sheet adsorption device 30 has been shown among Fig. 7.
The center configuration of the center in the hole of the center in the hole of the first static pressure unit 611, the second static pressure unit 640 and valve 620 becomes to be positioned on the axle shown in the single-point line.The first static pressure unit 611 and the second static pressure unit 640 are communicated with and formation connection stream 600 via valve 620.Being communicated with stream 600 is represented by dotted arrow.
At this, constitute switching by the first static pressure unit 611, valve 620, breakthrough part 630 and the second static pressure unit 640 and be communicated with first state of stream 600 and the stream switching mechanism 70 of second state.
Below, describe the effect of the valve 620 in the stream switching mechanism 70 and first state and second state that is communicated with stream 600 in detail.
Near the stream switching mechanism 70 amplification profile has been shown among Fig. 8.The stream of the gas under the situation that arrow is represented to attract with fan 50 among the figure.
In valve 620, the gap 626 between support portion 622 and the valve plate 62, the gap 627 that reaches between support portion 622 and the barrier film 621 constitute the first stream portion, and through hole 625 constitutes the second stream portion.
Solid arrow represents that gas flows through the appearance of the second stream portion, and the double dot dash line arrow represents to flow through the appearance of the first stream portion.
In Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, when covering, few from the inflow of the gas that attracts hole 42 with 40 attraction hole 42 printing medium S.In addition, the first static pressure unit 611 and the second static pressure unit 640 are communicated with by through hole 625.In this case, because the pressure compensation that comes the inflow of the gas in self-gravitation hole 42 to produce is little, therefore, do not produce big difference between the pressure in the pressure in the first static pressure unit 611 and the second static pressure unit 640.Thereby the power that gas flow causes does not put on barrier film 621.
Barrier film 621 stops at the position 621A of the restoring force balance that the spring force of the power that puts on barrier film 621 that the attraction of fan 50 and the size of through hole 625 etc. cause and the first arm 623 shown in Figure 6 and second arm 624 causes.In addition, support portion 622 stops at the position 622A that is illustrated by the broken lines.At this, if the width of support portion 622 is wide, then barrier film 621 is difficult to response.
Gas flows through first stream portion (by the path in gap 626 and gap 627) and the second stream portion (by the path of through hole 625).This state is for being communicated with first state of stream 600.When printing medium S covered with 40 attraction hole 42, the pressure in the first static pressure unit 611 approached atmospheric pressure.On the other hand, the second static pressure unit, the 640 interior pressure that attract by fan 50 become negative pressure.Thereby gas flow is, with the direction pushing of barrier film 621 to the second static pressure unit 640.
Barrier film 621 overcomes the spring force of the first arm shown in Figure 6 623 and second arm 624 and moves in breakthrough part 630, stops up the peristome of the second static pressure unit 640 at the position 621B shown in the dotted line.In addition, support portion 622 stops at by the position 622B shown in the dotted line.
Gas flows through the second stream portion.This state is for being communicated with second state of stream 600.
Second state is that the stream sectional area is littler than first state, is communicated with stream 600 not by the state of the second stream portion obturation.Thereby, attract hole 42 not have printing medium S to cover, when connection stream 600 is in second state, also from attracting hole 42 to attract a little.
If this state is to utilizing recording medium S to cover the state transitions that attracts hole 42, then owing to come the inflow of the gas in self-gravitation hole 42 to reduce, the pressure of the first static pressure unit 611 reduces, and barrier film 621 moves to by the position shown in the 622A.
At this, consider not have the situation of through hole 625 at barrier film 621.In this case, the attraction hole 42 not state of printing medium S covering is that barrier film 621 is positioned at position 621B, is communicated with stream 600 fully by the state of obturation.
In case obturation even then attract hole 42 printing medium S to cover afterwards, is not carried out the attraction in attraction hole 42 certainly fully yet, do not adsorb recording medium S as if under this state, being communicated with stream 600.That is, be atmospheric state in the first static pressure unit 611, the second static pressure unit 640 becomes negative pressure state by fan 50.
Like this, the structural reason that forming under second state does not entirely shut is communicated with stream 600 is by covering having or not of the recording medium S that attracts hole 42, changing the pressure of the first static pressure unit 611.
If form through hole 625, then the pressure in the first static pressure unit 611 attracts the having or not of recording medium S in hole 42 to change according to covering.
Also have, through hole 625 is arranged at band gripper shoe 61, valve plate 62, sept plate 63 and main body 64, the first static pressure unit 611 and the second static pressure unit 640 is communicated with also can.
Valve 620 has universal joints structure, and therefore, barrier film 621 moves in breakthrough part 630 with respect to the face keeping parallelism of the main body 64 that is formed with the second static pressure unit 640, stops up the peristome of the second static pressure unit 640 reliably.
At this, sept plate 63 is communicated with the stroke of stream 600 from the barrier film 621 of first state when second state transitions by its thickness regulation.Switch to second state reliably in order to be communicated with stream 600, importantly stipulate the trip well, therefore, shown in present embodiment, preferably use the structure of plate member for each barrier film 621 precision.
Also have, as with the different structure of structure of using sept plate 63, form in integratedly main body 64 also can, but compare with present embodiment, be difficult between each barrier film 621, stroke be stipulated equably.
Size, the capacity of the first static pressure unit 611, the size of breakthrough part 630 and the capacity of the second static pressure unit 640 etc. in the attraction of the size of through hole 625, fan 50, attraction hole 42 suitably are designed to, when printing medium S covers in attraction hole 42, overcome the spring force of the first arm 623 and second arm 624, stop up the peristome of the second static pressure unit 640.
If the size design of through hole 625 is got greatly, then attracting under the situation that printing medium S does not cover of hole 42 (being communicated with stream 600 is under the situation of second state), a large amount of gases are attracted from attracting hole 42 by through hole 625, and therefore, the loss (loss) of the negative pressure that is produced by fan 50 becomes big.On the contrary, if the size design of through hole 625 is got little, then the pressure corresponding to the first static pressure unit 611 that has or not that covers the recording medium S that attracts hole 42 changes spended time, therefore, reduces the response of barrier film 621.The size of through hole 625 is preferably suitably set in view of such situation.
In addition, the volume of the first static pressure unit 611 and groove 610 is more little, and corresponding to rapid more the causing of pressure variation of the first static pressure unit 611 that has or not that covers the recording medium S that attracts hole 42, therefore, the response of barrier film 621 improves.
As stream switching mechanism 70, except the mechanism that uses barrier film 621, also can be the situation that attracts hole 42 printing medium S to cover by perception such as sensors, and drive the mechanism of selecting by the little fan that attracts hole 42 each setting.In addition, also can attract the situation of hole 42 printing medium S covering, use the drive unit or the electromagnetism barrier film of shutter and shutter, select to attract hole 42 by perception such as sensors.
According to such present embodiment as can be known, has following effect.
(1) the stream sectional area of the connection stream 600 that is communicated with attraction hole 42 that printing medium S not covers is compared with the size of the stream sectional area of the connection stream 600 that is communicated in the attraction hole 42 that printing medium S covers and is diminished.That is, stream switching mechanism 70 attracts the having or not of recording medium S in hole 42 suitably to select the stream sectional area corresponding to covering.Therefore, can reduce the not gas flow at 42 places, attraction hole of printing medium S covering relatively.Thereby, size, the gradient of the recording medium S that no matter adsorbs, all obtain stable absorption affinity, the change of load that can access the mobile noise that causes of air and attraction is few, consumes sheet adsorption device 30, conveying device 20, image processing system 100 that electric power reduces.
(2) when attracting hole 42 printing medium S covers, the pressure that approaches in the second static pressure unit 640 that the pressure ratios in the atmospheric first static pressure unit 611 are attracted is big.At this moment, owing to partly open and close to be communicated with valve 620, the first static pressure unit 611 of stream 600 and the stream sectional area of the gas between the second static pressure unit 640 diminishes, therefore, can reduce from the gas flow that attracts hole 42 to flow into.Thereby, the main attraction hole 42 that attracts printing medium S to cover, size, the gradient of the recording medium S that no matter adsorbs, all obtain stable absorption affinity, the change of load that can access the mobile noise that causes of air and attraction is few, consumes sheet adsorption device 30, conveying device 20, image processing system 100 that electric power reduces.
Covering by recording medium S under the state that attracts hole 42, be communicated with stream 600 not by obturation.Therefore, according to having or not of the recording medium S that cover to attract hole 42, the pressure oscillation of the first static pressure unit 611 can suitably change the position of barrier film 621.
(3) valve 620 switchings are as the gap 626 and the gap 627 of the first stream portion, and therefore, connection stream 600 passes through to be communicated with as the through hole 625 of the part of the second stream portion.Under valve 620 closing state, also by through hole 625, thereby the pressure that can easily be communicated with the place, valve 620 both sides in the stream 600 is regulated.
(4) therefore valve 620, constitutes stream switching mechanism 70 by simple structure by the connection stream 600 of the partly open first static pressure unit 611 of barrier film 621 and the second static pressure unit 640.Thereby it is small-sized, slim that stream switching mechanism 70 becomes, and can access small-sized, slim sheet adsorption device 30, conveying device 20, image processing system 100.
(5) stream switching mechanism 70 is made of the stacked simple structure that is formed with band gripper shoe 61, valve plate 62, the sept plate 63 of the first static pressure unit 611 and is formed with the main body 64 of the second static pressure unit 640, therefore, and need be from the electric power of outside.Thereby can be reduced consumes sheet adsorption device 30, conveying device 20, the image processing system 100 of electric power.In addition, stream switching mechanism 70 is made of stepped construction, therefore, can make stream switching mechanism 70 small-sized, slim, can access small-sized, slim sheet adsorption device 30, conveying device 20, image processing system 100.
(6) valve 620 has so-called universal joints structure, and therefore, barrier film 621 when mobile, can reduce the degree that barrier film 621 tilts with respect to gas flow in the breakthrough part 630 as valve cap.Thereby repeatability by barrier film 621 control gas flow, can access sheet adsorption device 30, conveying device 20, the image processing system 100 that can select reliably by the attraction hole 42 of recording medium S covering well.
(7) stackedly be formed with the sept plate 63 of breakthrough part 630 and form, therefore, compare, can improve the precision of shape, can also reduce cost with the situation that valve cap is formed as base material processing.
(8) the attraction hole 42 that covers by printing medium S not suppresses to attract, and therefore, can suppress the flowing of air of the outer rim vicinity of recording medium S, the image processing system 100 of the flight bending of the black liquid 11 that sprays from jet head liquid 10 of can being inhibited.
(9) when covering by recording medium S, become negative pressure in the first static pressure unit 611 and the second static pressure unit 640 and get final product, therefore, not only can actual air volume type fan, but also can use the piston-type pump.
(10), can determine the position that stops and the response of barrier film 621 by the size that changes through hole 625, the width of support portion 622, the size in gap 626,627.
(11) when the driving of fan 50, suppress on the other hand, to give big attraction to the attraction hole 42 that printing medium S covers from the not attraction in the attraction hole 42 of printing medium S covering with 40.Therefore, when being with 40 to carry, under fan 50 and situation that a plurality of attractions hole 42 is communicated with, also can on throughput direction, give suitable absorption affinity in front end and the rear end to recording medium S at mounting recording medium S.That is, can be to mounting in the recording medium S that carries with 40, suitably give absorption affinity to the front end of its throughput direction integral body till the rear end, recording medium S stably can be supported in 40 lip-deeply carry simultaneously.In addition, under the situation about using with the size of the width of throughput direction quadrature and other recording mediums S recording medium S inequality or under the situation of the recording medium S that changes halfway of the width of use a slice recording medium S, also according to the having or not of recording medium S that attracts on the hole 42, change the sectional area that is communicated with stream, therefore, give big attraction by the attraction hole 42 that only printing medium S is covered, can under absorption comprises whole the state of end of recording medium S, stably carry.

As shown in figure 10, sheet adsorption device 66 possesses: as the band gripper shoe 68 of first plate-shaped member, it can be via supporting the recording medium S of mountings on 40 with 40; Main body 69 as second plate-shaped member; Coffer 65.Also have, be with gripper shoe 68, main body 69, reach coffer 65 stacking gradually from the top with fan 50 sides of 40 sides towards the below.
With the band gripper shoe 61 of first embodiment in the same manner, at the upper surface of band gripper shoe 68,, staggeredly be formed with a plurality of grooves 681 corresponding to the row in the attraction hole 42 of the throughput direction of recording medium S.Groove 681 slenderly forms on the throughput direction of recording medium S.The length of the throughput direction of the recording medium S of groove 681 forms two the interval degree that attract hole 42 lining up row at the throughput direction of recording medium S, with with in 40 move, under the situation that move in attraction hole 42, any one of attraction hole 42 is stuck on the groove 681.
Also have, the bottom notch of the groove 681 in this band gripper shoe 68 is provided with the roughly cylindric first static pressure unit 682, and, be formed with the through hole 683 that connects the lower surface of being with gripper shoe 68 in the bottom of this first static pressure unit 682.Also have, the opening edge part chamfering of the upside that becomes the first static pressure unit, 682 sides of this through hole 683 forms the valve seat with conical surface-shaped bearing surface 684 685 of upside hole enlargement thus.
In addition, the lower surface of band gripper shoe 68 be formed with near the position through hole 683 with the axis of through hole 683 abreast towards above to extend the back crooked and to the intercommunicating pore 686 as interconnecting part of the medial surface opening of the first static pressure unit 682 to horizontal direction.Also have, the diameter of this intercommunicating pore 686 forms less than the through hole 683 (that is, the stream sectional area is little) that partly is formed with valve seat 685 at the upside opening edge.Also have, in the present embodiment, utilize the through hole 683 in big footpath to constitute the first stream portion that is communicated with stream 600, and, utilize the intercommunicating pore 686 of path to constitute the second stream portion that is communicated with stream 600.
In addition, be provided with the roughly cylindric second static pressure unit 691 in the upper surface of main body 69 depression, this second static pressure unit 691 is being stuck on the throughput direction of recording medium S on two the first static pressure unit 682.Also have, these two first static pressure unit 682 are communicated with in the through hole 683 of each the first static pressure unit, 682 inner opening and intercommunicating pore 686 and the second static pressure unit 691 via an end.Also have, the volume of the second static pressure unit 691 forms greater than the first static pressure unit 682, is formed with the through hole 692 to the lower surface perforation of main body 69 in its bottom.Be formed with a plurality of second such static pressure unit 691 in main body 69, each second static pressure unit 691 is interconnected via the stream 693 that is communicated with separately through hole 692.
In addition, coffer 65 is structures identical with the coffer 65 of first embodiment, forms porose 650 corresponding to the suction inlet 51 of fan 50.Also have, suction inlet 51 is communicated with the stream 693 of main body 69 by this hole 650, and fan 50 is communicated with each second static pressure unit 691 thus.
And then, in the second static pressure unit 691 in main body 69, form gripper shoe 695, with opposed with the through hole 683 of each first static pressure unit 682 of upside with supported hole 694 with main body 69.In this supported hole 694, can insert the logical lower end side that constitutes the cylindric rod unit 761 of valve 76 slidingly and movingly.The upper end of this rod unit 761 is positioned at the first static pressure unit 682, forms the roughly circular cone trapezoidal shape valve body 762 that can contact with 684 of the bearing surfaces of valve seat 685 in the upper end of this rod unit 761.Also have the bearing surface that is conical surface-shaped 763 in this valve body 762 and bearing surface 684 butts of valve seat 685, the inaccessible first stream portion that is communicated with stream 600.
In addition, insert the spring 764 that is equipped with as force application part between gripper shoe 695 and valve body 762, valve 76 is by the power of granting of this spring 764, with the direction application of force of valve body 762 to the stream sectional area that increases connection stream 600.That is, valve 76 form often valve body 762 from valve seat 685 away from the valve state of opening (the first valve state).At this, the power of granting of spring 764 is the power that becomes the first static pressure unit 682 of atmospheric pressure state less than printing medium S not covers and utilize the pressure reduction of the second static pressure unit 691 that fan 50 attracts, and when the pressure in the first static pressure unit 682 and the second static pressure unit 691 is identical, become can make valve body 762 from valve seat 685 away from size.Also have, in the present embodiment,, constitute and switch first state that is communicated with stream 600 and the stream switching mechanism 70 of second state by the first static pressure unit 682, the second static pressure unit 691, valve 76, and valve seat 685.
Below, describe the effect of the valve 76 in the stream switching mechanism 70 and first state and second state that is communicated with stream 600 in detail.
Also have, shown in Figure 10 about two valves 76 usually the power of granting by spring 764 to valve body 762 from valve seat 685 away from direction by the application of force, form the valve state of having opened as the through hole 683 of the first stream portion of opening (the first valve state).Also have, if under this state drive fan 50, then the pressure in the second static pressure unit 691 is because the attraction of fan 50 becomes negative pressure, becomes above the power of granting of spring 764 with the pressure reduction of the interior pressure in the atmospheric first static pressure unit 682 roughly.Like this, valve 76 becomes its valve body 762 and overcomes the granting power of spring 764 and move towards the direction that falls to being positioned at valve seat 685, locking is communicated with stream 600 and forms second state as the valve state that closes (the second valve state) (with reference to the valve 76 in the left side among Figure 10) of the through hole 683 of the first stream portion.
Secondly, under this state, the attraction hole 42 that covers with printing medium S in the attraction hole 42 in 40 that suppresses mounting recording medium S and carry is followed with 40 move and become under the location status corresponding with the first static pressure unit 682, and gas flows into situation in the first static pressure unit 682 from the outside via described attraction hole 42.Also have, gas flows in the second static pressure unit 691 on a small quantity via the intercommunicating pore 686 as the second stream portion in the first static pressure unit 682, and the pressure reduction of the first static pressure unit 682 and the second static pressure unit 691 diminishes gradually, becomes at last less than the power of granting of spring 764.Like this, valve 76 become the grant power of its valve body 762 by spring 764 towards from valve seat 685 away from direction move, opened the valve state of opening (the first valve state) (with reference to the valve 76 on the right side among Figure 10) as the through hole 683 of the first stream portion, will be communicated with stream 600 from second state to first state transitions.
Also have, under this state, mounting recording medium S and carry with in the attraction hole 42 in 40 not the attraction hole 42 that covers of printing medium S follow with 40 move and become under the location status corresponding with the first static pressure unit 682, gas flows into situation in the first static pressure unit 682 from the outside via described attraction hole 42.Like this, the pressure in the first static pressure unit 682 become and approach atmospheric pressure, surpass the power of granting of spring 764 with the pressure reduction of pressure in the second static pressure unit 691 that becomes negative pressure.Like this, valve 76 becomes its valve body 762 and overcomes the granting power of spring 764 and move towards the direction that falls to being positioned at valve seat 685, locking as the valve state that closes (the second valve state) (with reference to the valve 76 in the left side among Figure 10) of the through hole 683 of the first stream portion, will be communicated with stream 600 from first state to second state transitions.
According to such embodiment as can be known, has following effect.
(13) not according to barrier film, and possess form can with respect to valve seat 685 fall the position valve body 762 and be set to valve body 762 often to from valve seat 685 away from the direction application of force spring 764 and constitute under the situation of valve 76, also can access and first embodiment and the identical effect of second embodiment.Therefore, constitute stream switching mechanism 70 by simple structure.
(14) and then, the second static pressure unit 691 that becomes negative pressure chamber when attracting drive fan 50 is not the stacked valve plate that is made of spring steel and the main body 69 that is made of the material beyond the spring steel and the airtight structure that forms.Therefore, for example, (for example possessing heating arrangements for the drying of the black liquid that promotes recording medium S is sprayed, heater or warm wind device) situation under, also different with thermal coefficient of expansion and main body 69 valve plates is different with the situation that the mode of the airtight formation second static pressure unit 691 is laminated in main body 69, does not cause the distortion that causes by the heat conduction.Thereby, can enlarge band gripper shoe 68 that constitutes static pressure control part 67 or the selection width that forms the parts of main body 69.
Each volume of (15) the first static pressure unit 682 and the second static pressure unit 691 forms as follows, that is: follow the driving of fan 50 and become earlier negative pressure conduct first negative pressure chamber the second static pressure unit 691 volume greater than after become the volume of the first static pressure unit 682 of conduct second negative pressure chamber of negative pressure.Thus, during to first state transitions, can give big attraction from second state being communicated with stream 600 to recording medium S.The front end that therefore, can on throughput direction, suitably adsorb recording medium S.
(variation 1)
Near the stream switching mechanism 73 in the variation 1 amplification profile has been shown among Figure 11.
Structure beyond the stream switching mechanism 73 is identical with first embodiment.Specifically, replace barrier film 621, use movable part 700 and spring 730, switch first state and second state of connection stream 600 shown in Figure 7.
In Figure 11, stream switching mechanism 73 possesses: the first static pressure unit 611, movable part 700, spring 730, breakthrough part 630, the second static pressure unit 640 and be communicated with the first static pressure unit 611 and the through hole 740 of the breakthrough part 630 and the second static pressure unit 640.
Movable part 700 possesses dividing plate 701 and spheroid portion 702, and is supported by spring 730.Between the inwall of dividing plate 701 and the first static pressure unit 611 and breakthrough part 630, be formed with gap 703.
Below, describe in detail the movable part 700 in the stream switching mechanism 73 effect, and be communicated with first state and second state of stream 600.
The stream of the gas under the situation that arrow is represented to attract with fan 50 among Figure 11.
In Figure 11, gap 703 constitutes the first stream portion, and through hole 740 constitutes the second stream portion.
Solid arrow represents that gas flows through the appearance of the second stream portion, and two dash-dot arrows represent to flow through the appearance of the first stream portion.
In Figure 11, when covering, few from the inflow of the gas that attracts hole 42 with 40 attraction hole 42 printing medium S.In addition, by through hole 740 and gap 703, be communicated with the first static pressure unit 611 and the second static pressure unit 640.In this case, the pressure compensation that comes the inflow of the gas in self-gravitation hole 42 to produce is little, therefore, does not produce big difference between the pressure in the pressure in the first static pressure unit 611 and the second static pressure unit 640.Thereby the power that gas flow causes does not act on movable part 700.
Movable part 700 stop at the attraction of fan 50 and act on the power of movable part 700 and two chain-dotted lines of the restoring force balance that the spring force of spring 730 causes shown in position 700A.
Gas flows through the first stream portion and the second stream portion.This state is for being communicated with first state of stream 600.
When printing medium S covered with 40 attraction hole 42, the pressure in the first static pressure unit 611 approached atmospheric pressure.On the other hand, the second static pressure unit, the 640 interior pressure that utilize fan 50 to attract become negative pressure.Thereby gas flow is, with the direction pushing to the second static pressure unit 640 of the dividing plate 701 of movable part 700.
Movable part 700 overcomes the spring force of spring 730 and moves in breakthrough part 630, and spheroid portion 702 is at the peristome that is stopped up the second static pressure unit 640 by the position 700B shown in two chain-dotted lines.
Gas flows through the second stream portion.This state is for being communicated with second state of stream 600.
(variation 2)
Figure 12 shows near the amplification profile the stream switching mechanism 74 in the variation 2.Specifically, the shape difference of barrier film 750.
Structure beyond the stream switching mechanism 74 is identical with first embodiment.
In Figure 12, barrier film 750 has the hemispherical Shell shape, utilizes arm 751 to be fixed in valve plate 75 by cantilever support.Be formed with through hole 752 at barrier film 750.
Below, describe effect, and first state and second state of connection stream 600 shown in Figure 7 of the barrier film 750 in the stream switching mechanism 74 in detail.
The stream of the gas under the situation that arrow is represented to attract with fan 50 among Figure 12.
In Figure 12, the gap 753 of a side that does not have cantilever support of the barrier film 750 of cantilever support constitutes the first stream portion, and through hole 752 constitutes the second stream portion.
Solid arrow represents that gas flows through the appearance of the second stream portion, and two dash-dot arrows represent to flow through the appearance of the first stream portion.
In Figure 12, when covering, few from the inflow of the gas that attracts hole 42 with 40 attraction hole 42 printing medium S.In addition, by through hole 752 and 753, the first static pressure unit 611, gap and 640 connections of the second static pressure unit.In this case, the pressure compensation that comes the inflow of the gas in self-gravitation hole 42 to produce is little, therefore, does not produce big difference between the pressure in the pressure in the first static pressure unit 611 and the second static pressure unit 640.Thereby the power that gas flow causes does not act on barrier film 750.
Barrier film 750 stop at the attraction of fan 50 and act on the power of barrier film 750 and restoring force balance that the spring force of arm 751 causes by the position 750A shown in two chain-dotted lines.
Gas flows through the first stream portion and the second stream portion.This state is for being communicated with first state of stream 600.
According to the size in through hole 752 and gap 753, determine these stop position.
When printing medium S covered with 40 attraction hole 42, the pressure in the first static pressure unit 611 approached atmospheric pressure.On the other hand, become negative pressure in the second static pressure unit 640 that utilizes fan 50 to attract.Thereby gas flow is that barrier film 750 is pushed to the second static pressure unit, 640 directions.
Barrier film 750 overcomes the spring force of arm 751 and moves in breakthrough part 630, at the peristome that is stopped up the second static pressure unit 640 by the position 750B shown in two chain-dotted lines.
Gas flows through the second stream portion.This state is for being communicated with second state of stream 600.
By with the protuberance 756 of the valve plate 75 of barrier film 750 opposed positions, can determine the width in gap 753.This protuberance 756 can not have yet.
