Pinch roll retainer 56 is contained in the recess 139 of retainer supporting member 57.More specifically, pinch roll retainer 56 with such arranged in orientation in recess 139, be the axial direction of the longitudinal direction 131 of pinch roll retainer 56, and the shorter direction 132 of pinch roll retainer 56 is corresponding to the throughput direction of recording sheet corresponding to driven roller 47.
The auxiliary retainer that will be described below 110 utilizes the disc spring 61 that inserts between auxiliary retainer 110 and the pinch roll retainer 56 to be supported on the upside place (that is the side of facing with driven roller 47) of pinch roll retainer 56.
Two spring container cavities 62 are formed in the pinch roll retainer 56.Spring container cavity 62 contiguous otch 76 and the otch separately in otch 76 are provided with at 131 place, inboard along the longitudinal direction.Disc spring 61 is contained in the spring container cavity 62.Utilize this configuration, disc spring 61 is positioned in the pinch roll retainer 56.Each of disc spring 61 is used as so-called compression spring, and has the spring length and the elastic force that can move the rotating shaft 65 of pinch roll 48 towards driven roller 47 thrusters.Notice, replace disc spring 61, the elastic component such as leaf spring and rubber can be used as thrust unit.
Chamber separately that positioning rib 77 is arranged in the spring container cavity 62 is located 131 inboard along the longitudinal direction.Groove 78 is formed in the upper end of each positioning rib 77.Each of positioning rib 77 is erect from the upper surface of pinch roll retainer 56.In side view, groove 78 basically forms the U-shaped shape, thereby groove 78 is vertically cut the positioning rib 77 dearly from the upper end of positioning rib 77.Positioning rib 77 is used for along shorter direction 132 location pinch rolls 48.More specifically, under the state that the auxiliary retainer 110 that will describe hereinafter is installed on the pinch roll retainer 56 and the rotating shaft 65 of pinch roll 48 supports by auxiliary retainer 110, by coming along shorter direction 132 position rotating axles 65 (see figure 7)s in the groove 78 that rotating shaft 65 is inserted positioning ribs 77.Rotating shaft 65 is determined by the size of groove 78 and the size of rotating shaft 65 by the positioning accuracy of positioning rib 77.
The bottom surface that prodger 83 is arranged on pinch roll retainer 56 is 131 center along the longitudinal direction.Prodger 83 is inserted in engagement grooves 84 (see figure 6)s in the bottom surface 69 of the recess 139 that is formed on retainer supporting member 57 and with this engagement grooves 84 and is engaged.Prodger 83 forms from the outstanding downwards narrow width shape in the bottom surface of pinch roll retainer 56.Prodger 83 and engagement grooves 84 are formed on shorter direction 132 and are elongated shape.When prodger 83 was inserted in the engagement grooves 84, pinch roll retainer 56 was positioned in the retainer supporting member 57 with respect to longitudinal direction 131.And, the moving range of pinch roll retainer 56 is limited to shorter direction 132, the i.e. throughput direction of recording sheet.
First guiding rib 75 is set to the side 74 that is positioned at the place, downstream of pinch roll retainer 56.First guiding rib 75 is outstanding along the direction that is basically perpendicular to side 74.More specifically, as shown in Figure 5, first guiding rib 75 is set to side 74, thereby first guiding rib 75 is outstanding towards the platen 34 at the place, downstream that is arranged on pinch roll retainer 56.First guiding rib 75 is integrally formed with pinch roll retainer 56.In addition, first guiding rib 75 is along the axial direction of pinch roll 48, and promptly the longitudinal direction of pinch roll retainer 56 is arranged on a plurality of positions.Particularly, for side 74 along the longitudinal direction each end in 131 the two ends one first guiding rib 75 is set.
The upper surface of first guiding rib 75 is as spigot surface, and when recording sheet was transported to first guiding rib 75, described spigot surface was towards the leading edge of platen 34 these recording sheets of guiding.The upper surface of first guiding rib 75 is smooth, and approximately when pinch roll retainer 56 is positioned at the primary importance place is in identical height with the upper surface of platen 34.Notice that when pinch roll retainer 56 was in position (optional position from primary importance to the second place) except that primary importance, first guiding rib 75 was downward-sloping towards the upper surface of platen 34.
＜auxiliary retainer 110 〉
Under auxiliary retainer 110 was installed in state on the pinch roll retainer 56, the bar 112 of support arm 111 was restricted to the guider of above-below direction as the moving direction that will assist retainer 110.The moving range of auxiliary retainer 110 is determined by the distance between the lower end of hook 113 and hook rib 70.That is to say that when promoting to assist retainer 110 under the state that is installed at auxiliary retainer 110 on the pinch roll retainer 56, hook 113 is spaced apart with the lower end of hook rib 70 downwards.In contrast, when upwards retainer 110 was assisted in lifting, hook 113 engaged with the lower end of hook rib 70.
Under disc spring 61 is contained in state in the spring container cavity 62, on disc spring 61, will assist retainer 110 to be installed on the pinch roll retainer 56.Therefore, do not having external force to be applied under the state of auxiliary retainer 110, auxiliary retainer 110 upwards promotes constantly by the motive force of disc spring 61.On the contrary, if the external force of downward direction is applied to auxiliary retainer 110, then disc spring 61 is compressed, thereby assists retainer 110 along the direction dislocation towards pinch roll retainer 56.In the present embodiment, be configured to printer portion 2 if will be in the parts (member) of the assembled state shown in Fig. 5, then pinch roll 48 is pressed on the driven roller 47, thereby auxiliary retainer 110 is also pushed downwards via pinch roll 48.Therefore, will assist retainer 110 to be configured under the state of printer portion 2, auxiliary retainer 110 is retained as and makes auxiliary retainer 110 to move in above-mentioned moving range along the vertical direction.
Seven second guiding ribs 66 are wholely set the upper surface of auxiliary retainer 110.The leading edge that second guiding rib 66 is set to be used for the recording sheet that will carry from upstream side this clamp-press part that leads smoothly to conveying roller 54.Each of second guiding rib 66 is along shorter direction 132, and promptly throughput direction extends on the upper surface of auxiliary retainer 110.Second guiding rib 66 along the longitudinal direction 131, promptly the axial direction of driven roller 47 is arranged abreast.The second guiding rib 66A that is arranged in the both end sides place of auxiliary retainer 110 forms along shorter direction 132 shape longer than other second guiding rib 66.
The 3rd guiding rib 64 is arranged on auxiliary retainer 110 131 center along the longitudinal direction.The 3rd guiding rib 64 from downstream side 60 along the direction identical with first guiding rib 75, promptly outstanding along downstream direction.The 3rd guiding rib 64 is provided with integratedly with auxiliary retainer 110.Similar to first guiding rib 75, when recording sheet was transported to the upper surface of the 3rd guiding rib 64, the upper surface of the 3rd guiding rib 64 was used for towards the leading edge of platen 34 side directed these recording sheets.In addition, the 3rd guiding rib 64 also is used for and will be supported on the position of close this clamp-press part from this trailing edge to the recording sheet of the clamp-press part separation of conveying roller 54, thereby the trailing edge of recording sheet can not contact the roller surface of pinch roll 48.The 3rd guiding rib 64 is projected into the terminal identical position with first guiding rib 75.
As mentioned above, in the present embodiment, second guiding rib 66 and the 3rd guiding rib 64 are set to auxiliary retainer 110 integratedly.Therefore, only the rotating shaft 65 of pinch roll 48 between each guiding rib 64,66 and pinch roll 48.Therefore, the dimensional tolerance of height of influence from pinch roll 48 to each guiding rib 64,66 only is each the accumulated value of dimensional tolerance of pinch roll 48, rotating shaft 65 and auxiliary retainer 110.Thereby, compare with traditional supporting mechanism that the dimensional tolerance that is subjected to a large amount of members influences, can reduce guiding rib 64 and 66 site errors with respect to pinch roll 48.In other words, the distance between pinch roll 48 and guiding rib 64 and 66 can remain on steady state value accurately.Therefore, when recording sheet entered this to the clamp-press part of conveying roller 54, this recording sheet was by second guiding rib 66 clamp-press part that leads smoothly.In addition, when the trailing edge of recording sheet when clamp-press part separates, the trailing edge of recording sheet leads towards the downstream smoothly by the 3rd guiding rib 64.Therefore, can prevent because the transmission failure that site error caused of guiding rib 64 and 66 is carried such as the inclination of paperboard and recording sheet.
＜pinch roll 48 〉
As shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, pinch roll 48 forms cylindrical shape and is made by resin with good sliding properties etc.Each of pinch roll 48 forms with the cylindrical shape that is formed with the endoporus that in axial direction extends.Rotating shaft 65 inserts in this endoporus.Utilize this configuration, pinch roll 48 can be with respect to rotating shaft 65 rotations.Although rotating shaft 65 can be made by the various materials such as synthetic resin and metal, preferred rotating shaft 65 is used to make pinch roll 48 to rotate smoothly by making such as stainless steel.Thus, can make minor diameter but rotating shaft 65 with enough rigidity.In the present embodiment, as shown in the drawing, two pinch rolls 48 rotatably support by rotating shaft 65.Notice that the quantity and the length of pinch roll 48 can make amendment as required.
Like this, because being supported for, pinch roll 48 makes that pinch roll 48 can be with respect to rotating shaft 65 rotations, so needn't rotating shaft 65 rotation in groove 78 certainly.Therefore, groove 78 can have such size, and promptly rotating shaft 65 can seamlessly be inserted.Yet in the present embodiment, groove 78 has such size, i.e. groove 78 supporting rotating shaft 65 rotatably under the situation that does not have resistance substantially.Therefore, fixed to one another even pinch roll 48 and rotating shaft 65 become, thus pinch roll 48 can not rotate by relative rotation axi 65, and pinch roll 48 also can relative auxiliary retainer 110 rotations with rotating shaft 65.
In the present embodiment, pinch roll 48, rotating shaft 65 and auxiliary retainer 110 are described as separating member.Yet these members are not to be necessary for separating member.For example, rotating shaft 65 can be set to auxiliary retainer 110 integratedly.In this case, when inserting rotating shaft 65 in the groove 78, auxiliary retainer 110 and rotating shaft 65 are located with respect to the throughput direction of recording sheet.Utilize this configuration, the dimensional tolerance that influences the position of guiding rib 64 and 66 only is two members of pinch roll 48 and auxiliary retainer 110.Therefore, can make the site error of guiding rib 64 and 66 littler.Notice that rotating shaft 65 is not limited to and auxiliary retainer 110 identical materials.For example, if rotating shaft 65 and auxiliary retainer 110 are integrally formed by insert molding, then rotating shaft 65 can be made by steel, and auxiliary retainer 110 can be made by synthetic resin.
In addition, rotating shaft 65 can be wholely set pinch roll 48.In this case, when inserting rotating shaft 65 in the groove 78, pinch roll 48 and rotating shaft 65 are located with respect to the throughput direction of recording sheet.When rotating shaft 65 and pinch roll 48 were integrally formed by this way, the dimensional tolerance that influences the position of guiding rib 64 and 66 only was two members of pinch roll 48 and auxiliary retainer 110.Therefore, can make the site error of guiding rib 64 and 66 littler.Notice that rotating shaft 65 is not limited to and pinch roll 48 identical materials.For example, if rotating shaft 65 and pinch roll 48 are integrally formed by insert molding, then rotating shaft 65 can be made by steel, and pinch roll 48 can be made by synthetic resin.
Because the supporting mechanism of pinch roll 48 is constructed by this way, so pinch roll retainer 56 supports movably by retainer supporting member 57.Pinch roll 48 utilizes the rolling movement of pinch roll retainer 56 and dislocation.More specifically, pinch roll retainer 56 can move between the transfer position (primary importance) shown in the punctured position shown in Fig. 8 A (second place) and Fig. 8 B.
In addition, in the present embodiment, the 3rd guiding rib 64 is set to auxiliary retainer 110, as mentioned above.Pinch roll 48 supports by auxiliary retainer 110.Therefore, when recording sheet kept clampingly by pinch roll 48 and driven roller 47, auxiliary retainer 110 and the 3rd guiding rib 64 and pinch roll 48 left the amount that driven roller 47 moves the thickness that equals recording sheet.That is to say the 3rd guiding rib 64 and pinch roll 48 mobile phases displacement together.Therefore, no matter whether recording sheet keeps clampingly by pinch roll 48 and driven roller 47, always the relative position of pinch roll 48 and the 3rd guiding rib 64 is constant.In other words, during carrying, the distance between the upper end of the lower surface of recording sheet and the 3rd guiding rib 64 can remain on constant distance.
Therefore, during recording sheet is carried conveying roller 54 by this, as shown in Fig. 9 A during when the thin recording sheet 98 by this conveying roller 54 carried such as the duplicator paper and as Fig. 9 B as shown in two kinds of situations during when the thick recording sheet 99 of conveying such as postcard, the 3rd guiding rib 64 and pinch roll 48 are pushed down.Therefore, always remain on steady state value apart from T1 between the lower surface of recording sheet and the 3rd guiding rib 64.
By using this supporting mechanism, can above-mentioned be set at steady state value apart from T1 with necessary minimum of a value.Therefore, even at the trailing edge of recording sheet from the clamp-press part after separating between pinch roll 48 and the driven roller 47 at once, the trailing edge of recording sheet also can be supported near the clamp-press part by the 3rd guiding rib 64.That is to say that do not contact the position on the roller surface of pinch roll 48 at trailing edge, recording sheet also can be supported.This prevents recording sheet because the roller surface of the trailing edge of recording sheet and pinch roll 48 does not contact and promoted by pinch roll 48.In addition, suppose when carrying the reclinate recording sheet of its trailing edge or with the recording sheet of waveform state bending, and the situation of the trailing edge of recording sheet when the 3rd guiding rib 64 hangs down and contact the roller surface of pinch roll 48.Even in this case, recording sheet and roller surface also contact with each other near clamp-press part, make recording sheet and roller surface form the acute angle that is in the basic horizontal state.Therefore, continue to use in the power of the direction that promotes recording sheet very little.Thus, recording sheet can not be pushed to the downstream.
In addition, in the present embodiment, as shown in Fig. 9 A and Fig. 9 B, the 3rd guiding rib 64 is arranged so that the contiguous virtual plane 88 that hereinafter will describe in the upper end of the 3rd guiding rib 64.This is used to utilize driven roller 47 and pinch roll 48 to keep clampingly to conveying roller 54 and carries recording sheet.Therefore, approximate corresponding to this virtual plane 88 near the transport path the conveying roller 54 at this, wherein virtual plane 88 is by the intersection of following each face: plane 87 comprises the axis of the rotating shaft 65 of the axis of driven roller 47 and pinch roll 48; And the roller surface of pinch roll 48 the roller surface of driven roller 47 sides (in Fig. 9 A and Fig. 9 B in the face of), and wherein virtual plane 88 perpendicular to plane 87.If the contiguous virtual plane 88 in the upper end of the 3rd guiding rib 64, then from the clamp-press part after separating between driven roller 47 and the pinch roll 48 at once at the trailing edge of recording sheet, the 3rd guiding rib 64 can support the trailing edge of recording sheet, thereby this trailing edge can not contact the roller surface of pinch roll 48.
In addition, at the structure that is used for supporting movably pinch roll retainer 56, when pinch roll retainer 56 moves to punctured position, between the upstream side 95 of the rib 94 of platen 34 and pinch roll retainer 56, form and have clearance of predetermined width T2 (seeing Fig. 8 A).Yet this gap T2 is by above-mentioned first guiding rib 75 and 64 sealings of the 3rd guiding rib.Therefore, even moved towards gap T2 by this recording sheet that conveying roller 54 is carried, first guiding rib 75 and the 3rd guiding rib 64 prevent that also recording sheet from entering among the T2 of this gap.Simultaneously, by first guiding rib 75 and the 3rd guiding rib 64 leading edge of recording sheet is directed to platen 34 sides.More specifically, the leading edge of recording sheet is directed to the inclined-plane 96 at upstream side 95 places that are formed on rib 94.Therefore, 96 upper surfaces towards rib 94 lead smoothly along the inclined-plane with recording sheet.Thus, recording sheet can stably be transported to platen 34, and can also prevent paperboard.
In the present embodiment, as shown in Fig. 8 A and Fig. 8 B, first guiding rib 75 and the 3rd guiding rib 64 are arranged on corresponding to the position that is formed on the gap between the adjacent rib 94, thereby first guiding rib 75 and the 3rd guiding rib 64 are not interfered a plurality of ribs 94 of the upstream side 95 that extends to platen 34.In the present embodiment, the overhang of first guiding rib 75 and the 3rd guiding rib 64 (outstanding length) be set at make win guiding rib 75 and the 3rd guiding rib 64 enter gap between the rib 94, with along throughput direction by the location independent of the pinch roll retainer 56 of removable support.In other words, even first guiding rib 75 and the 3rd guiding rib 64 are arranged so that working as pinch roll retainer 56 remains on apart from platen 34 position farthest, be the punctured position shown in Fig. 8 A (second place) when locating, the upstream side 95 of platen 34 also intersects with first guiding rib 75 and the 3rd guiding rib 64 in plane.Therefore, supporting under the state of pinch roll retainers 56, no matter the position of pinch roll retainer 56 how, in the gap between total first guiding rib 75 and the 3rd guiding rib 64 insertion ribs 94 (seeing Fig. 8 A and Fig. 8 B) by retainer supporting member 57.In addition, when pinch roll retainer 56 with rolling movement on retainer supporting member 57 when mobile, first guiding rib 75 and the 3rd guiding rib 64 reciprocally move along throughput direction.Utilize this to move back and forth, first guiding rib 75 and the 3rd guiding rib 64 insert in the gap that is formed between the rib 94 and withdraw from described gap.
As shown in Fig. 8 A and Fig. 8 B, first guiding rib 75 is arranged so that the upper surface (spigot surface) of first guiding rib 75 is positioned at the position lower than the upper surface of platen 34.Utilize this configuration, though when recording sheet when first guiding rib 75 is carried, the leading edge of this recording sheet platen 34 sides that also lead smoothly.Then, the recording sheet that the is directed to platen 34 sides supporting base that leads smoothly by this way, promptly recording sheet moves on the inclined-plane 96 that the upstream side 95 (rear end) that is formed on platen 34 is located.
In the present embodiment, first guiding rib 75 is arranged so that the upper surface of first guiding rib 75 is positioned at the position lower than the upper surface of platen 34, and the upper surface of first guiding rib 75 is positioned at the high position, lower end than the inclined-plane 96 of the upstream side 95 (rear end) of platen 34.Therefore, the recording sheet platen 34 that can lead more smoothly.
The moving range of＜pinch roll retainer 56 〉
Hereinafter will be described the moving range of pinch roll retainer 56 on retainer supporting member 57.
In the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 10, be attached at retainer supporting member 57 under the state of framework, the bottom surface 69 of the recess 139 of retainer supporting member 57 (bottom surface that comprises concave shaped portion 141) forms crooked shape.Place at rolling bearing 80 under the state between the bottom surface of bottom surface 69 and pinch roll retainer 56, pinch roll retainer 56 is supported at its place, bottom surface.
As shown in Figure 10, the bottom surface 69 of recess 139 is downward-sloping towards the downstream from upstream side.Bottom surface 69 has and the approximate corresponding shape of the arc of cylindricality, and this arc wraparound is changeed center O and drawn, and this centre of gyration is included in by in the perpendicular of the central shaft A of driven roller 47 and parallel with this central shaft A.Therefore, pinch roll retainer 56 69 moves along the bottom surface by rolling bearing 80.In other words, pinch roll retainer 56 wraparounds commentaries on classics center O moves as rotating center.At this moment, because auxiliary retainer 110 utilizes the rolling movement of pinch roll retainer 56 to be promoted by disc spring 61, so pinch roll 48 outer peripheral face along driven roller 47 in the lasting state that keeps being pressed on the driven roller 47 moves.Notice centre of gyration O be included in by in the perpendicular of central shaft A not necessarily.When pinch roll retainer 56 is positioned at the primary importance place, centre of gyration O is positioned at the second place side place on the plane of the central shaft B that comprises this central shaft A and pinch roll 48, thereby along with pinch roll retainer 56 side shifting upstream, the decrement of disc spring 61 becomes littler, and this is enough.
In the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 10, pinch roll retainer 56 is restricted to scope between following along the moving range of shorter direction 132: transfer position, at this transfer position place, along the direction towards the rear side of driven roller 47, the angle that is formed between the plane of perpendicular by centre of gyration O and the central shaft B by centre of gyration O and pinch roll 48 is θ 1; And punctured position, in this collapsed position, along the direction towards the rear side of driven roller 47, the angle that is formed between the plane of perpendicular by centre of gyration O and the central shaft B by centre of gyration O and pinch roll 48 is θ 2 (greater than θ 1).Notice be used to limit along shorter direction 132 forwards to the prodger 68 of moving range and the downstream inwall of engagement recesses 67 as first limiting member of the present invention.In addition, be used to limit upstream side inwall along the prodger 68 of the moving range of the backward directions of shorter direction 132 and engagement recesses 67 as second limiting member of the present invention.
Pinch roll retainer 56 and retainer supporting member 57 are constructed as mentioned above.Therefore, when recording sheet keeps conveying roller 54 clampingly by this (during the conveying at recording medium), pinch roll retainer 56 moves (seeing Fig. 8 B) to transfer position.In contrast, when the trailing edge of recording sheet when this separates conveying roller 54 (not during the conveying at recording medium), pinch roll retainer 56 moves (seeing Fig. 8 A) to punctured position.
The basic principle of the rolling movement of＜pinch roll retainer 56 〉
Next, the basic principle of the rolling movement of pinch roll retainer 56 is described with reference to Figure 11 and Figure 12.Here, Figure 11 is presented at the schematic diagram of center O as the cross section of driven roller 47 and pinch roll 48 in the XY coordinate of initial point.Figure 12 is presented at the schematic diagram that driven roller 47 and pinch roll 48 in the XY coordinate of Figure 11 clamp the state of the ground sheet material of holding the record (indicating by mark S).Here, A is the pivot of driven roller 47, and r1 is the radius of driven roller 47, and B is the pivot of pinch roll 48, and r2 is the radius of pinch roll 48.Pivot A is positioned on the X-axis.Initial point O is positioned at pivot A is separated by more than or equal to the position of the radius of driven roller 47 along the negative direction of X-axis.In addition, initial point O overlaps with the curved center of the bottom surface 69 of recess 139, and promptly initial point O overlaps with above-mentioned centre of gyration O.Pinch roll retainer 56 can move between following: from X-axis is the position D that θ 1 is moved at the center around initial point O in the counterclockwise direction; And from the position E of the mobile similarly θ 2 of X-axis (greater than θ 1).Here, position D is corresponding to above-mentioned transfer position (seeing Fig. 8 B), and position E is corresponding to above-mentioned punctured position (seeing Fig. 8 A).Notice,, center O, A and B are defined as shown in Figure 11 and Figure 12 for ease of describing.Yet needless to say, the position at the center separately of driven roller 47, pinch roll 48 and bottom surface 69 is not limited to above-mentioned position.
Here, angle θ is defined as when pinch roll 48 moves to the optional position, is formed on the angle between line segment OA and the line segment OB.That is to say that the possible range of angle θ is θ 1≤θ≤θ 2.Pinch roll 48 promotes (direction of section AB along the line) by the disc spring that is in compressive state 61 that is contained in the pinch roll retainer 56 towards driven roller 47.
As shown in the drawing, if θ＞0, then rotation (moving) the center A of the center O of arc DE and driven roller 47 does not match.Therefore, along with the increase of θ, pinch roll retainer 56 and driven roller 47 are relative remotely to be separated.Therefore, along with the increase of θ, disc spring 61 launches.That is to say that along with the increase of θ, the elastic energy E of disc spring 61 reduces.At this moment, moment M1 acts on the pinch roll 48, and this moment M1 is in the counterclockwise direction and around center A, and promptly along the direction perpendicular to line segment AB, moment M1 has the proportional value of reduction amount dE/d θ with elastic energy E.
On the other hand, the driven rotation of pinch roll 48 causes frictional force (moment of friction) M2 ' to act on the pinch roll 48, and frictional force M2 ' is around center B and along the direction opposite with the direction of rotation of pinch roll 48.Moment M2 is defined as by frictional force M2 ' being converted to the power around center A, promptly along the moment that obtains perpendicular to the power of the direction of line segment AB.The frictional force M2 ' that generate this moment is the stiction that generates in the sliding surface between pinch roll 48 and rotating shaft 65 owing to the rotation of pinch roll 48.Notice that moment M2 is not shown in Figure 11.
In addition, when pinch roll retainer 56 is mobile on the bottom surface 69 of the recess 139 of retainer supporting member 57, generate force of rolling friction (moment of friction) M3 '.This force of rolling friction M3 ' is around center O, promptly along the directive effect perpendicular to line segment OB.Moment M3 is defined as by force of rolling friction M3 ' being converted to the power around center A, promptly along the moment that obtains perpendicular to the power of the direction of line segment AB.Here, above-mentioned force of rolling friction is called moment M3.Notice that moment M3 is not shown in Figure 11.
In addition, as shown in Figure 12, when carrying recording sheets by driven roller 47 and pinch roll 48, comprise recording sheet weight, since the power W of the elastic force of the bending of recording sheet etc. along directive effect towards the center of pinch roll 48.Power W causes generating moment M4 along the direction that reduces angle θ.Especially, in the present invention, as shown in the drawing, recording sheet is transferred to making recording sheet be pressed on the platen 34 the moment M4 of the degree that this generation be can not ignore with angle θ from upside.Notice that EI is defined as the rigidity of recording sheet.
In addition, when the leading edge of recording sheet enters clamp-press part between driven roller 47 and the pinch roll 48, perhaps when the trailing edge of recording sheet when clamp-press part separates, the length of disc spring 61 changes the amount of the thickness h that equals recording sheet.More specifically, in the former situation, disc spring 61 is compressed thickness h, and in the latter's situation, disc spring 61 expansion thickness h.Therefore, equally in this case, the elastic energy of disc spring 61 increases and reduces, and is similar to above-mentioned moment M1, generates around center A and has moment M5 with the proportional value of dE/d θ.
Here, angle θ (θ 1≤θ≤θ 2), the thickness h of recording sheet and the rigidity EI of recording sheet are variablees.Therefore, moment M1 is with the function representation of angle θ and thickness h.Moment M4 is with the function representation of angle θ and rigidity EI.Moment M5 is with the function representation of thickness h.Although on accurate meaning, moment M2 and M3 are the functions of angle θ and thickness h, compare with M5 with moment M1, M4, moment M2 and M3 are very little.Therefore, here moment M2 and M3 are considered as constant.Hereinafter, the function of angle θ is with M1 (θ) and M4 (θ) expression.
Suppose between driven roller 47 and pinch roll 48, not produce and slide.And the frictional force between hypothesis driven roller 47 and the pinch roll 48 is enough big, and the frictional force between pinch roll 48 and the recording sheet is enough big.So, in the present embodiment, above-mentioned moment M1 satisfies the hereinafter expression formula of indication to M5.
That is to say, when recording sheet is not carried by driven roller 47 and pinch roll 48, satisfy following expression (1).At this moment, moment M2 acts on along clockwise direction around center A, and moment M3 acts in the counterclockwise direction around center A.
M1(θ)+M3＞M2(1)
Therefore, in this case, pinch roll retainer 56 moves towards upstream side along the throughput direction of recording sheet, and to after-contraction.Then, the attitude of pinch roll retainer 56 position (punctured position) that remains on θ=θ 2 is located.
When the clamp-press part between recording sheet arrival driven roller 47 and the pinch roll 48, the leading edge of recording sheet keeps clampingly by the rotation of driven roller 47, and satisfies following expression (2).At this moment, moment M3 acts in the counterclockwise direction around center A, and moment M5 acts on along clockwise direction around center A.
M1(θ)+M3＜M4(θ)+M5(2)
At this moment, pinch roll retainer 56 moves towards the downstream along throughput direction, locates and the attitude of pinch roll retainer 56 remains on the position (transfer position) of θ=θ 1.
During the conveying of recording sheet, satisfy following expression (3).At this moment, moment M2 acts on along clockwise direction around center A, and moment M3 acts on along clockwise direction around center A.
M1(θ)＜M2+M3+M4(θ)(3)
Therefore, the attitude of pinch roll retainer 56 position (transfer position) of continuing to remain on θ=θ 1 is located.
When the trailing edge of recording sheet from driven roller 47 when clamp-press part between the pinch roll 48 separates, satisfy following expression (4).At this moment, moment M3 acts on along clockwise direction around center A, and similar to moment M1, moment M5 acts in the counterclockwise direction around center A.
M1(θ)+M5＞M3(4)
As understanding, when the trailing edge of recording sheet generates moment M1 (θ)+M5 (left side) from driven roller 47 when clamp-press part between the pinch roll 48 separates, and has only moment M3 (right side) as frictional force from top expression formula (4).Here, be used for moving moment M1 (the θ)+M5 of pinch roll retainer 56 greater than the moment M3 that is used to prevent rolling movement towards the upstream side of recording sheet.Therefore, pinch roll retainer 56 moves towards the upstream side of recording sheet.Here, moment M3 is the less friction that is generated by rolling bearing 80.That is to say that compare with moment M1 (θ)+M5, moment M3 is very little.Therefore, in this case, most moment M1 (θ)+M5 is used for moving pinch roll retainer 56 towards the upstream side of recording sheet.Thereby, pinch roll retainer 56 fast moving.Notice that in case pinch roll retainer 56 shrinks, the attitude of pinch roll retainer 56 just remains on the position (punctured position) of θ=θ 2 and locates.
If at the trailing edge of recording sheet from the clamp-press part after separating between driven roller 47 and the pinch roll 48, the abnormality that pinch roll retainer 56 does not turn back to the position (punctured position) of θ=θ 2 appears, then driven roller 47 is controlled as along opposite direction rotation, thereby satisfies following expression (5).Therefore, pinch roll retainer 56 can move to the position (punctured position) of θ=θ 2.
M1(θ)+M2＞M3(5)
In this case, moment M2 acts in the counterclockwise direction around center A, and moment M3 acts on along clockwise direction around center A.
As mentioned above, in multifunctional equipment 1, wherein pinch roll retainer 56 supports movably via rolling bearing 80, and pinch roll 48, pinch roll retainer 56, retainer supporting member 57, disc spring 61 etc. are arranged so that and satisfy expression formula (1) to (5).Utilize this configuration, when recording sheet kept conveying roller 54 clampingly by this, pinch roll retainer 56 moved towards the downstream apace along throughput direction.In addition, when the above-mentioned clamping of recording sheet was released, pinch roll retainer 56 moved towards the downstream apace along throughput direction.Therefore, compare, can make along the amount of throughput direction promotion recording sheet almost nil with the traditional structure that uses sliding friction.This quality that prevents to be recorded in the image on the recording sheet descends.
Although the present invention is described in detail with reference to the above embodiment of the present invention, those skilled in the art be it is evident that under the situation of the scope that does not depart from claim, can make various changes and modifications therein.
＜comparative example 〉
Hereinafter, comparative example will be described.The proposition comparative example is used to describe the advantage according to the sheet material conveyor and the image recorder of the foregoing description.
To Figure 14 B first comparative example is described with reference to Figure 13 A.To as shown in the 13C, the ink jet type image recorder of first comparative example is provided with the sheet material conveyor 210 of carrying recording sheet S towards platen 202 according to the present invention as Figure 13 A.This sheet material conveyor 210 comprises and is arranged in a pair of conveying roller 203 that platen 202 locates along the upstream side of throughput direction (hereinafter referred is " upstream side ") and is arranged in a pair of outlet roller 204 that platen 202 is located along the downstream (hereinafter referred is " downstream ") of throughput direction.
When image is recorded in the image recorder, drive this off and on to conveying roller 203, be used for carrying recording sheet S off and on predetermined length.During the dwell time of this intermittent delivery, record head 200 slides mobile along the direction (perpendicular to the direction of Figure 13 A to the drafting sheet material of Figure 13 C) vertical with the throughput direction of recording sheet S (left and right directions of Figure 13 A in Figure 13 C), nozzle from record head 200 sprays ink simultaneously, thereby ink adheres to this recording sheet S.Repeat this operation for each intermittent delivery, thereby image is recorded on the recording sheet S continuously with predetermined length.Notice that the controller (not shown) controls this to conveying roller 203 and this rotation to outlet roller 204, thereby carry out above-mentioned intermittent delivery.
To as shown in Figure 13 C, this comprises driven roller 205 and driven voller 206 to conveying roller 203 as Figure 13 A.Driven roller 205 receives from the revolving force of transmission such as motor, and is driven in rotation.Driven voller 206 by promotions such as disc springs 207 so that be pressed on the driven roller 205, and driven the rotation.As shown in Figure 13 A, when the leading edge from the recording sheet S of sheet material supply box (not shown) supply arrives this to conveying roller 203, the leading edge driven rolls 205 of recording sheet S and driven voller 206 clampings, and this begins to carry recording sheet S to conveying roller 203.At this moment, disc spring 207 is compressed the amount of the thickness of recording sheet S, and driven voller 206 separates from driven roller 205.S is transferred along with recording sheet, and to outlet roller 204 clampings, and as shown in Figure 13 B, recording sheet S is carried outlet roller 204 conveying roller 203 and this by this leading edge of recording sheet S by this.Along with recording sheet S is further carried, as shown in Figure 13 C, the trailing edge of recording sheet S separates conveying roller 203 from this, and recording sheet S is only carried outlet roller 204 by this.At this moment, the amount of the thickness of disc spring 207 extension record sheet material S, and driven voller 206 is pressed on the driven roller 205.Notice similarly to conveying roller 203 to this, this also comprises driven roller 208 and driven voller 209 to outlet roller 204.Here,, this has write down record images sheet material S thereon because being used for clamping to outlet roller 204, thus extruding force is set at little value, so that prevent the deterioration of image.
Yet, utilize above-mentioned sheet material conveyor 210, as shown in Figure 14 A, at the trailing edge of recording sheet S at once from clamp-press part (pressure portion) after separating, the roller surface of this trailing edge contact driven voller 206.Therefore, if the rotation roller surface of the trailing edge of recording sheet S contact driven voller 206, then recording sheet S is from the power F (see Figure 14 B) of this reception edge, roller surface with the throughput direction equidirectional.This power F does in order to promote recording sheet S along throughput direction.If recording sheet S is promoted by this power F when carries out image on recording sheet S writes down, then this recording sheet S is exceeded requiredly and carries, and causes the image record position to depart from along throughput direction.Thus, such problem occurs, promptly cause being called the phenomenon of " band " (being also referred to as " image jump "), this will make picture quality obviously descend.Especially, in following structure, wherein recording sheet is being transferred when oblique upside is pressed to platen 202, partly because the front edge side of recording sheet S by this to outlet roller 204 clampings, so from this at once to conveying roller 203 after separatings at trailing edge, trailing edge is because the restoring force of crooked recording sheet S and towards driven voller 206 side shiftings, and touch roll surface effectively.In this case, above-mentioned zoning obviously occurs.At the recording sheet S that conveying has big relatively thickness and relative high rigidity, during postcard and glazed paper, above-mentioned zoning also obviously occurs.
Next, second comparative example will be described.Japan patent applicant announce No.2007-261061 discloses a kind of image recorder that is provided with conveying device, and this conveying device comprises the pinch roll (48) by the vertical resiliency supported of pinch roll retainer (56).In this image recorder, pinch roll retainer (56) is supported for and makes pinch roll retainer (56) to move between the primary importance and the second place.When the trailing edge of recording sheet from driven roller (47) when clamp-press part between the pinch roll (48) separates, pinch roll (48) and pinch roll retainer (56) move into place the second place in upstream side from primary importance.In addition, as shown in Figure 14 of Japan patent applicant announce No.2007-261061, pinch roll retainer (56) is provided with towards the side-prominent guiding rib (75) of platen (94).Guiding rib (75) is outstanding from pinch roll (48) towards platen (94).In this image recorder, from the clamp-press part after separating between driven roller (47) and the pinch roll (48), this trailing edge supports by guiding rib (75) at the trailing edge of recording sheet.If the separating distance between the outer peripheral face of the upper end of guiding rib (75) and driven roller (47) is big with respect to the thickness of recording sheet, then at the trailing edge of recording sheet from this clamp-press part after separating at once, the contact of the trailing edge of recording sheet moves to the roller surface of the pinch roll (48) of the second place.In this case, even for the image recorder of announcing among the Japan patent applicant announce No.2007-261061, also can cause the bar zoning.Notice that the numeral in the round parentheses is the numeral of using in Figure 14 of Japan patent applicant announce No.2007-261061.Following description is like this equally.
If above-mentioned separating distance is set at little value, then can suppress this zoning.Yet, utilize the image recorder of Japan patent applicant announce No.2007-261061, since as follows, this separating distance can not be set at enough little value.Can comprise such as the thin recording sheet of duplicator paper and such as the thick of postcard and glazed paper and rigidity recording sheet by the recording sheet of image recorder record.In the image recorder of Japan patent applicant announce No.2007-261061, guiding rib (75) is set to pinch roll retainer (56).Therefore, if pinch roll retainer (48) along the elasticity direction with respect to pinch roll retainer (56) dislocation, then the relative position between pinch roll (48) and the guiding rib (75) changes.Utilize this structure, if above-mentioned separating distance is set at value less than the thickness of recording sheet, then this recording sheet can not through and bump guiding rib (75), produce the problem of the transmission failure that damages such as paperboard and recording sheet.Therefore, in the image recorder of Japan patent applicant announce No.2007-261061, above-mentioned separating distance is set at the thickness that is suitable for the thickest recording sheet.Therefore, separating distance need be set at respect to big value such as the thickness of the thin recording sheet of duplicator paper.
Next, the 3rd comparative example will be described.Similar to above-mentioned second comparative example, Japan patent applicant announce No.2007-175991 discloses a kind of mechanism that supports the pinch roll retainer, this pinch roll retainer supports pinch roll, thereby this pinch roll retainer can move between the primary importance and the second place.In this mechanism, when the trailing edge of recording sheet from driven roller when clamp-press part between the pinch roll separates, the pinch roll retainer moves to the second place.In Japan patent applicant announce No.2007-175991, the second place is set at the position that is positioned at the upstream side place of the perpendicular by above-mentioned clamp-press part at its place's pinch roll, i.e. position of not intersecting with perpendicular on the roller surface of its place's pinch roll.Therefore, when the trailing edge of recording sheet when clamp-press part separates, the trailing edge of recording sheet is not easy to contact the roller surface of pinch roll.Yet, at the trailing edge of recording sheet at once, still do not carry out the rolling movement of pinch roll from the clamp-press part after separating, and in some cases, the roller surface of the trailing edge moment ground contact pinch roll of recording sheet.Therefore, even, can not eliminate the appearance of bar zoning for disclosed mechanism in Japan patent applicant announce No.2007-175991.Especially, if the second place is set at above-mentioned position, the size that then depends on the external diameter of pinch roll, it is big that the rolling scope of pinch roll retainer becomes, in this case, the initial rolling movement of pinch roll retainer can not be carried out apace, and the trailing edge of recording sheet contacts the roller surface of pinch roll continually.In addition, if the second place is set at above-mentioned position, the expansion of the scope of then rolling has increased the size of equipment, and in some cases, because the expansion of rolling scope needs to increase spring force.In addition, because the nip angle of clamp-press part increases in the horizontal direction, so the adverse effect that becomes complicated to the sheet material feed lines of clamp-press part also occurs.
First to the 3rd comparative example has the problems referred to above.Yet, according to the sheet material conveyor of this embodiment and image recorder can prevent recording medium from the clamp-press part after separating between driven roller and the driven voller at once recording medium promoted by driven voller, thereby improve the quality that is recorded in the image on the recording medium.
Next, the 4th comparative example will be described.Japan patent applicant announce No.2007-90669 discloses a kind of recording equipment, and this recording equipment supports driven voller, makes this driven voller to move and can rotate along throughput direction.When the trailing edge of recording sheet from driven roller when clamp-press part between the driven voller separates, driven voller receives from the power of the trailing edge of recording sheet and towards upstream side and shrinks.More specifically, in the disclosed recording equipment, the retainer that supports driven voller is via the retainer support member support of rolling bearing by the framework of the equipment of being fixed in Japan patent applicant announce No.2007-90669, thereby this retainer can move.Utilize this configuration, retainer itself can move along throughput direction.
In the disclosed supporting mechanism, the rotating shaft (65) of pinch roll (48) is by bearing (63) location, so that increase the precision of the rolling movement of pinch roll retainer (56) in Japan patent applicant announce No.2007-90669.Therefore, can make the slackness of support portion of rotating shaft (65) littler, and during rolling movement, the power that applies from recording sheet can be transferred to pinch roll retainer (56) equably, thereby realizes rolling movement accurately.Yet in this supporting mechanism, rotating shaft (65) directly supports by pinch roll retainer (56), thereby rotating shaft (65) can move along the vertical direction.Therefore, even enter clamp-press part between driven roller (47) and the pinch roll (48) when recording sheet, when causing pinch roll (48) mobile along the vertical direction, pinch roll retainer (56) is also mobile.That is to say that only pinch roll (48) can move along the vertical direction, this causes problem described below.Notice that the numeral in the round parentheses is the numeral of using in Fig. 7 of Japan patent applicant announce No.2007-90669.Following description is like this equally.
In the above-mentioned supporting mechanism shown in Fig. 7 of Japan patent applicant announce No.2007-90669, retainer supporting member (57) is attached to main frame, and rolling bearing (80) is arranged on the supporting surface (upper surface) of retainer supporting member (57).Pinch roll retainer (56) is attached to the more upside of rolling bearing (80), and the rotating shaft (65) of pinch roll (48) rotatably supports via disc spring (61) by pinch roll retainer (56).In this supporting mechanism, because a plurality of member is positioned between retainer supporting member (57) and the pinch roll (48), so the accumulated size tolerance of each member causes the difference (error) of the height from pinch roll (48) to pinch roll retainer (56).If the minimum of a value of the dimensional tolerance of each member is accumulated, then the height from pinch roll (48) to pinch roll retainer (56) becomes maximum, causes pinch roll (48) to expose significantly towards driven roller (47) side from pinch roll retainer (56).In this case, the leading edge of the recording sheet of carrying towards the clamp-press part between driven roller (47) and the pinch roll (48) contacts the roller surface of pinch roll (48) in the position away from this clamp-press part.According to the degree of exposure of pinch roll (48), recording sheet enters and contacts the roller surface of pinch roll (48) with can becoming approximate right angle.In this case, recording sheet can not enter clamp-press part smoothly, and this causes paperboard before clamp-press part.
On the contrary, if the maximum of the dimensional tolerance of each member from retainer supporting member (57) to pinch roll (48) is accumulated, then the height from pinch roll (48) to pinch roll retainer (56) becomes minimum of a value.In other words, the distance between pinch roll (48) and the driven roller (47) becomes minimum of a value.In this case, following problem may occur, promptly above-mentioned distance becomes less than the maximum ga(u)ge of recording sheet that can be by the conveying of this device, and for example, can not pass through clamp-press part such as the thick recording sheet of postcard and glazed paper.
The 4th comparative example has the problems referred to above.Yet, can the leader record sheet material according to the sheet material conveyor of this embodiment and image recorder, make this recording sheet pass through the clamp-press part between driven roller and the driven voller smoothly, thereby in the mechanism of a plurality of member supports driven vollers, under the situation of the normal rolling movement that does not stop first supporting member (pinch roll retainer 56), prevent transmission failure such as the paperboard and the conveying of tilting.
