Below be specifically described with regard to the formation of the thin slice box 10 of the thin slice supply unit 1B of present embodiment.Fig. 2 is the block diagram of the thin slice box 10 of present embodiment, and Fig. 3 is the amplification stereogram of thin slice box 10 part of being surrounded by dotted line A in Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 is the cutaway view of the arrow B-B position of thin slice box 10 in Fig. 2.
The thin slice box 10 of present embodiment comprises box housing 12 as housing, thin slice pallet 14, the first flipper guide 16a and the second flipper guide 16b as pallet, end face guide plate 18 and as thin slice end guide plate 20 of guide member etc.
Box housing 12 is included in the relative side wall portion 12a of Y direction with 12b, at X-direction relative side wall portion 12c and 12d and bottom 12e etc., forms the space of accommodating thin slice.The outside of side wall portion 12a is the protecgulum 120 as the part of the shell of MFP 1.Protecgulum 120 has the handle 120a that thin slice box 10 is pulled out from MFP 1.And the side wall portion 12c of present embodiment has stipulated to be housed in the reference position of the end of thin slice on X-direction in the box housing 12.
In addition, the first flipper guide 16a and the second flipper guide 16b and end face guide plate 18 and side wall portion 12c's is arbitrary to bringing into play the function of first limiting part, be used to limit a side of thin slice, another limits the side with the side quadrature that is limited by first limiting part to bringing into play the function of second limiting part.
Thin slice pallet 14 is the pallets that load thin slice.As shown in Figure 4, S. A. 14a is with respect to side wall portion 12a relative on Y direction and side wall portion 12b rotation support slice pallet 14.The upper push-rod 15 that thin slice pallet 14 rotates by the propulsive effort that utilizes motor is the center rotation with S. A. 14a, the end of lifting side wall portion 12c side.Upper push-rod 15 1 boosts thin slice pallet 14, and the thin slice on the thin slice pallet 14 just contacts with pick-up roller 50.Then, pick-up roller 50 is that the direction of the supply (X-direction among Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) of thin slice is picked up thin slice one by one in the direction along the guide surface of the first flipper guide 16a and the second flipper guide 16b, supplies with to image forming part 1A.And thin slice pallet 14 has the shape of the moving area of avoiding the first flipper guide 16a, the second flipper guide 16b and end face guide plate 18.Particularly, thin slice pallet 14 have with the corresponding peristome 14b of the moving area of the first flipper guide 16a, with the corresponding peristome 14c of moving area of the second flipper guide 16b and with the corresponding recess 14d of the moving area of end face guide plate 18.By peristome 14b, peristome 14c and recess 14d, the first flipper guide 16a, the second flipper guide 16b and end face guide plate 18 can move in the zone of repeating with the zone of the thin slice of being accommodated.In addition, the frame shape by the open area clamping of side wall portion 12c and peristome 14b of thin slice pallet 14 partly is the front end support portion of the thin slice front end of support slice pallet 14.
And the thin slice pallet 14 of present embodiment has buffer unit 14e in the zone of the S. A. 14a side on the bottom surface of the bottom 12e of box housing 12.This is because usually in order to replenish thin slice easily, thin slice box 10 can be pulled out from MFP 1, if but under the state that boosts thin slice pallet 14, pull out thin slice box 10 from MFP 1, the upper push-rod 15 that then boosts thin slice pallet 14 is disengaged with the binding of the driver trains such as motor that drive upper push-rod 15, and thin slice pallet 14 falls with upper push-rod 15.In case thin slice pallet 14 falls, then thin slice pallet 14 collides the bottom 12e of box housing 12 etc., sends clash.If have above-mentioned buffer unit 14e, in case thin slice pallet 14 falls, the buffer unit 14e between thin slice pallet 14 bottom surfaces and the box housing 12 is clamped and elastic deformation, and the rotative speed (speed of fall) of thin slice pallet 14 is reduced, and suppresses collision sound.In addition, about having the thin slice box of buffer unit, this specification sheets comprises the content described in No. the 12/543765th, the U.S. Patent application.
The first flipper guide 16a and the second flipper guide 16b comprise the wall divided into two parts portion that is formed on the public pedestal part.The first flipper guide 16a and the second flipper guide 16b are loaded in the location, end of the Y direction of the thin slice on the thin slice pallet 14 by the guide surface in the wall portion of the guide surface of the wall portion of first relative on the Y direction flipper guide 16a and the second flipper guide 16b.Specifically be, the first flipper guide 16a of side wall portion 12b side and the second flipper guide 16b of side wall portion 12a side are keeping the distance from middle position from a relative guide surface to another guide surface, slide linkedly mutually.Thin slice is contained on the thin slice pallet 14, and the first flipper guide 16a and the second flipper guide 16b slide, and the guide surface by making both and the end positions of thin slice lump together, and are alignd with the midway location of the Y direction of thin slice pallet 14 in the position of thin slice.In addition, the Y direction that is loaded in the thin slice on the thin slice pallet 14 is that the direction with the direction of the supply quadrature of thin slice is the Width of thin slice.
Further specify the formation of the first flipper guide 16a based on Fig. 2 and Fig. 3.The first flipper guide 16a comprises pedestal part 160, from pedestal part 160 to the first wall portion 161 and the second wall portion 162 that the loading direction of thin slice is stretched out.And, slide linkedly in order to make the first flipper guide 16a and the second flipper guide 16b, link guide rail 163 both are linked mutually.It is fixing with pedestal part 160 to link guide rail 163.
But first wall portion 161 has guide surface 161a " loaded " position shows 161b and protrusion 161c etc.
As mentioned above, guide surface 161a carries out the location of the end on the Y direction of thin slice.
But " loaded " position shows 161b and shows the maximum loading that can be loaded in the thin slice on the thin slice pallet 14 by thin slice in the position (highly) of loading on the direction.But " loaded " position shows that 161b is presented on the guide surface 161a.
Protrusion 161c will fall into and shift the position identical with the thin slice loading surface of thin slice pallet 14 onto on the end of thin slice of peristome 14b of thin slice pallet 14 and support.Owing to be that thin slice loading surface with thin slice pallet 14 is that benchmark shows the maximum load position, boost the also end of the guide surface 161a side of support slice by protrusion 161c, but but " loaded " position demonstration 161b can correctly hold the carrying capacity that shows the thin slice of 161b with respect to " loaded " position.
And thin slice described later end guide plate 20 is between the protrusion 161c and thin slice pallet 14 on the X-direction of first wall portion 161 sides of pedestal part 160.
End face guide plate 18 slides in X-direction, carries out the location of an end of the X-direction of thin slice.The side wall portion 12c of end face guide plate 18 and box housing 12 decision cargo-carring thin slice in the position of X-direction.For example, thin slice is relied under the state of side wall portion 12c, end face guide plate 18 slides up to the end of running into thin slice, thereby moving of restriction X-direction positions, or after end face guide plate 18 slides according to width that will cargo-carring thin slice in advance, by thin slice being placed on position, thin slice can be loaded in big or small cooresponding position with thin slice by end face guide plate 18 and side wall portion 12c defined.
Below be specifically described with regard to the structure of the thin slice end guide plate 20 of present embodiment based on Fig. 5 to Fig. 7.Fig. 5 is the cutaway view of the arrow C-C position of thin slice box 10 in Fig. 3, and Fig. 6 is the cutaway view of the arrow D-D position of thin slice box 10 in Fig. 3, and Fig. 7 is the block diagram that the side wall portion 12c side (thin slice direction of the supply downstream) from thin slice box 10 is seen.In addition, for the ease of understanding, in Fig. 5 to Fig. 7, illustrate cargo-carring thin slice S.And, in Fig. 7, omitted the part of thin slice box 10 in the thin slice direction of the supply downstream of the end of the side wall portion 12c of first wall portion 161 side.
As mentioned above, the thin slice end guide plate 20 of present embodiment pedestal part 160 in the position of the guide surface 161a of first wall portion 161, be positioned at the thin slice direction of the supply downstream of open area of the peristome 14b of thin slice pallet 14.Thin slice end guide plate 20 slides thin slice S on thin slice pallet 14, when carrying out aligned in position by the " loaded " position of above-mentioned first flipper guide 16a and end face guide plate 18 regulations, the bight of thin slice is boosted, and the bight that prevents thin slice is stuck in or enters in the difference of height or gap of the thin slice pallet 14 on guide plate 20 next doors, thin slice end or box housing 12.
Particularly, as mentioned above, thin slice pallet 14 has peristome 14b at the sliding area of the first flipper guide 16a.And, thin slice loading surface at thin slice pallet 14 is under the horizontal state, the position of the upper surface of the pedestal part 160 at place, the open area of peristome 14b is positioned at than the position about the thickness of the low thin slice pallet 14 of thin slice loading surface, and the bottom 12e of box housing 12 is positioned at the position lower than pedestal part 160.For example, under the state that the guide surface 161a of the side portion that makes thin slice and the first flipper guide 16a lumps together, position for the thin slice of the X-direction of aliging, in case thin slice S is slided by end face guide plate 18 (perhaps user manually directly slip thin slice S) and to side wall portion 12c side shifting, then the end of thin slice especially the bight Sc of thin slice run into thin slice pallet 14 peristome 14b side (difference of height) or enter thin slice pallet 14 and bottom 12e between block.In case the bight Sc of thin slice is stuck on difference of height etc., bight Sc might fold or breakage etc. and being damaged.
And, as shown in Figure 4, the clash when preventing that thin slice pallet 14 from falling, the thin slice pallet of present embodiment has buffer unit 14e in the S. A. 14a of bottom surface side.But, if the thin slice that is loaded on the thin slice pallet 14 is few, loaded weight is light, then the elastic deformation of the included buffer unit of thin slice pallet 14 reduces, compare the state that another distolateral formation opposite with the S. A. 14a side of thin slice pallet 14 is floated with the situation of loading a large amount of thin slice generation elastic deformations.Float if another of thin slice pallet 14 is distolateral, the difference of height or the thin slice pallet 14 at peristome 14b place and the gap increase between the box housing 12 that form of the peristome 14b of thin slice pallet 14 then, the bight Sc of thin slice block because of this difference of height etc. easily.
As shown in Figure 5, guide plate 20 usefulness dip plane in thin slice end are that guide surface 20a catches to the bight Sc of the close thin slice of the " loaded " position of thin slice and on it and pushes away, and the guiding thin slice makes the bight Sc of thin slice stride across difference of height between pedestal part 160 and the thin slice pallet 14.
The thin slice end guide plate 20 of present embodiment is the leg-of-mutton sheet component of elastic deformation.And leg-of-mutton one side of thin slice end guide plate 20 contacts fixing with the pedestal part 160 of the below of the thin slice loading surface of thin slice pallet 14.And, the guide surface 20a of thin slice end guide plate 20 is dip plane, this dip plane in box housing 12 by the first flipper guide 16a and the second flipper guide 16b, in the thin slice loading area of the rectangle of regulation such as end face guide plate 18 and side wall portion 12c, loading direction (Z-direction) with respect to thin slice, the thin slice direction of the supply (X-direction), tilt with the either direction in the direction (Y direction) of loading direction and thin slice direction of the supply quadrature, and along with bight side near the thin slice loading area of the position of intersecting point that is formed on the extended line of guide surface 161a and side wall portion 12c, the dip plane that raises gradually from the upper surface position of pedestal part 160.
In other words, guide surface 20a be loading direction (Z-direction), thin slice S towards thin slice S the direction of the supply (X-direction) reversing sense (in other words being direction) from the side wall portion 12c lateral side wall 12d of portion side and towards the dip plane of three directions of the direction of the central side of the Width of thin slice S.By this guide surface 20a, the lower surface of the thin slice S that can rise really.In addition, direction towards the central side of the Width of thin slice S is under the situation in the first wall portion 161 that thin slice end guide plate 20 is installed in the first flipper guide 16a, from the direction of side wall portion 12b to side wall portion 12a side, thin slice end guide plate is being installed under the situation of second flipper guide, from the direction of side wall portion 12a to side wall portion 12b side.
In addition, the direction of the guide surface 20a of thin slice end guide plate 20 preferably sets on horizontal surface (X-Y plane) and the angle of guide surface 161a is about 45 degree.By being set in about 45 degree, no matter make thin slice S under the mobile situation of the side wall portion 12d lateral side wall 12c of portion side (the arrow E direction of Fig. 7) or under the mobile situation of the side wall portion 12a lateral side wall 12b of portion side (the arrow F direction of Fig. 7), thin slice end guide plate 20 all catch thin slice bight Sc and on push away, prevent that bight Sc and difference of height etc. from contacting.
And the height that the thin slice of thin slice end guide plate 20 loads direction preferably is higher than the thin slice loading surface at least under the horizontality of thin slice pallet 14.Be higher than the position of the thin slice loading surface of thin slice pallet 14 by the upper end that makes thin slice end guide plate 20, the bight Sc of thin slice can positively be downloaded on the thin slice loading surface of thin slice pallet 14.
For example, the support component 20s (with reference to figure 6 and Fig. 7) of the rear side of thin slice end guide plate 20 by being relatively arranged on guide surface 20a is fixing and supported.As shown in Figure 7, support component 20s is the trapezoid elements with inclined-plane, and the inclined-plane is used to tilt fixedly thin slice end guide plate 20.In addition, but if support slice end guide plate 20, support component 20s also has by the plate-shaped member with the crooked inclined-plane that forms of plate.
In addition, by thin slice S being loaded in the position by the first flipper guide 16a and the second flipper guide 16b, end face guide plate 18 and side wall portion 12c defined, thin slice end guide plate 20 is because of the weight elastic deformation of thin slice.At least under the thin slice of the maximum loading of the thin slice box 10 under the state that will not have thin slice end guide plate 20 is loaded in situation on the thin slice pallet 14, thin slice end guide plate 20 loads the optimum seeking site of upper end of direction below the height of the thin slice loading surface of thin slice pallet 14 at thin slice.Even this is because under the state of the thin slice that has loaded original maximum loading, if the upper end position of thin slice end guide plate 20 is higher than the thin slice loading surface of thin slice pallet 14, then the parts that are downloaded to above the thin slice end guide plate 20 of thin slice S also will be swelled, and have formed and loaded the identical state of thin slice that surpasses the maximum loading of thin slice box 10.If surpass the maximum load position then can cause paperboard etc.
Therefore the thin slice end guide plate 20 of present embodiment is covering under the state on the support component 20s because elastic deformation takes place thin slice end guide plate 20, and the upper end position of thin slice end guide plate 20 is identical with the position of thin slice loading surface.Even thin slice S is contained on the thin slice end guide plate 20, the surface of thin slice S (top) also is flat.
And for the same reason, the thin slice end guide plate 20 of present embodiment is the rubber-like material preferably, and this elastomeric material is deformed to the position of the thin slice loading surface that is lower than thin slice pallet 14 under the situation of the thin slice that has loaded maximum loading.As the material of thin slice end guide plate 20, for example can use pet film or apply film, mylar of poly tetrafluoroethylene etc.
And, the preferred triangle of shape of thin slice end guide plate 20.This is in order to topple over, under the situation of elastic deformation, to prevent that the part that the distortion of thin slice end guide plate 20 is toppled over from contacting with the guide surface 161a of first wall portion 161 or the thin slice pallet 14 on next door to support component 20s side (the bottom 12e side of box housing 12) because of the weight of thin slice at thin slice end guide plate 20.In addition, triangle also front end form circular shape, subtriangular shape is also trapezoidal or fan-shaped.
It more than is the formation of the MFP 1 and the thin slice box 10 that MFP 1 has of present embodiment.
Thin slice box 10 according to the thin slice end guide plate 20 of present embodiment with above explanation, when the thin slice that is housed in the thin slice box 10 slided on thin slice pallet 14, being positioned at suitable " loaded " position, can mobile thin slice and do not make the bight of thin slice run into the differences of height such as side of the peristome 14b of thin slice pallet 14.Therefore, especially the bight of thin slice can bending or breakage in the end of thin slice.
And, form the dip plane by the guide surface 20a that makes thin slice end guide plate 20, and make this dip plane in box housing 12 by the first flipper guide 16a and the second flipper guide 16b, in the thin slice loading area of the rectangle of regulation such as end face guide plate 18 and side wall portion 12c, loading direction with respect to thin slice, the thin slice direction of the supply and tilt with either direction in the direction of loading direction and thin slice direction of the supply quadrature, and along with bight side near the thin slice loading area that is formed on the extended line of guide surface 161a and side wall portion 12c intersection location place, raise gradually from the upper surface position of pedestal part 160, thereby for the thin slice that moves along the thin slice direction of the supply and the either direction from the direction of the side wall portion 12a lateral side wall 12b of portion side, thin slice end guide plate 20 all can be caught the end of thin slice and push away on it, prevents that the end of thin slice from running into difference of height etc.
And, because thin slice end guide plate 20 is the sheet components that carry out elastic deformation, therefore loaded at least under the situation of thin slice of maximum loading, thin slice end guide plate 20 carries out elastic deformation topples over, so thin slice end guide plate 20 can not shifted thin slice onto more than the position of thin slice loading surface of thin slice pallet 14.Therefore, can load the thin slice of the maximum loading equivalent of the thin slice when not having thin slice end guide plate 20.
And by thin slice end guide plate 20 is arranged on the pedestal part 160 of the first flipper guide 16a, even the first flipper guide 16a moves, thin slice end guide plate 20 also can remain certain position relation with the guide surface 161a of the first flipper guide 16a.Run at an end of the thin slice of Y direction under the state of guide surface 161a of the first flipper guide 16a, make thin slice when the thin slice direction of the supply moves in slip that utilizes end face guide plate 18 etc., thin slice end guide plate 20 can boost the bight of thin slice all the time, can prevent to run into difference of height etc. really.
And, form triangle by shape with thin slice end guide plate 20, even load thin slice on thin slice end guide plate 20, thin slice end guide plate 20 carries out elastic deformation topples over, the part that distortion is toppled over can not contact with guide surface 161a or thin slice pallet 14 yet.
Below describe with regard to the thin slice stowage of the thin slice box 10 of present embodiment.
At first, at the interval of the interval that makes the first flipper guide 16a and the second flipper guide 16b, end face guide plate 18 and side wall portion 12c greater than thin slice is placed on the thin slice pallet 14 under the state of cargo-carring sheet width.
Then, move the first flipper guide 16a and the second flipper guide 16b, carry out thin slice, perhaps carry out the location of Y direction and X-direction simultaneously in the location that the location or the mobile end face guide plate 18 of Y direction carries out X-direction.
If carry out the location of Y direction, the first flipper guide 16a and the second flipper guide 16b slide, up to the interval of the first flipper guide 16a and the second flipper guide 16b with the width of Y direction of cargo-carring thin slice consistent.Thin slice is to close with the suitable " loaded " position of the big or small cooresponding Y direction of thin slice.
If carry out the location of X-direction, end face guide plate 18 slides, and is consistent with the width of the X-direction of thin slice with the interval of side wall portion 12c up to end face guide plate 18.Thin slice is that side wall portion 12c is close to the reference position of thin slice one end of X-direction.
If carry out the location of Y direction and X-direction simultaneously, then move the first flipper guide 16a and the second flipper guide 16b and end face guide plate 18 simultaneously.
The first flipper guide 16a and the second flipper guide 16b slide, when carrying out the location of Y direction of thin slice, or end face guide plate 18 is when sliding the location of the X-direction of carrying out thin slice, when perhaps carrying out the location of Y direction and X-direction twocouese simultaneously, on one side all be to make the position of thin slice with consistent with the big or small cooresponding " loaded " position of thin slice by the bight that pushes away thin slice on thin slice end guide plate 20 one side.
For example, position at the first flipper guide 16a and the second flipper guide 16b is consistent with the end positions of the Y direction of thin slice, carried out under the state of location of Y direction of thin slice, if end face guide plate 18 slides, the reference position of thin slice on X-direction is that the position of side wall portion 12c is close, then thin slice is promoted by end face guide plate 18, move to the thin slice direction of the supply (the direction of side wall portion 12c side from side wall portion 12d side direction), the bight of thin slice is boosted by thin slice end guide plate 20, and thin slice moves and can not be stuck on the difference of height etc. of peristome 14b of thin slice pallet 14.
And, the position consistency at the two ends on the X-direction of the position of end face guide plate 18 and side wall portion 12c and thin slice, carried out under the state of location of X-direction of thin slice, if the first flipper guide 16a and the second flipper guide 16b slide, the suitable " loaded " position of thin slice on Y direction is close, then the thin slice end guide plate 20 of the first flipper guide 16a enters the downside of thin slice, pushes away on the bight with thin slice.Because the position of the difference of height that the end of thin slice has formed at the peristome 14b that has striden across thin slice pallet 14, therefore, thin slice end guide plate 20 is not to push away on for the end that makes thin slice strides across difference of height, but because the guide surface 20a of thin slice end guide plate 20 is also towards the direction of the thin slice that moves, so thin slice can not be stuck in the side of thin slice end guide plate 20.Even behind the location of X-direction, carry out the location of Y direction, thin slice end guide plate 20 also can one elastic deformation simultaneously catch the end of thin slice.
And, carry out the location of thin slice if the first flipper guide 16a and the second flipper guide 16b and end face guide plate 18 slide simultaneously, then with make thin slice identical when the thin slice direction of the supply moves, the bight of thin slice is boosted by thin slice end guide plate 20.Therefore, thin slice can not be stuck on the difference of height that the peristome 14b of thin slice pallet 14 forms etc., and moves to the big or small cooresponding " loaded " position with thin slice.
As mentioned above, stowage according to the thin slice of present embodiment, thin slice by flipper guide or end face guide plate under the situation that the big or small cooresponding " loaded " position with thin slice moves, thin slice end guide plate 20 lifts the bight of thin slice, so the bight of thin slice can not blocked by the difference of height that the peristome 14b of thin slice pallet 14 forms.
