具体实施方式
在下面的描述中，出于解释的目的，阐述了某些示例的多个具体细节。说明书中对“示例”或类似语言的引用意味着结合示例描述的特定特征、结构或特性包括在该示例中，但不一定包括在其它示例中。
图1示意性图示了应用于打印装置的切割器模块100(其也可被称为“切割单元”)。切割器模块100可以包括刀片驱动机构102(也被称为“切割器致动机构”)和旋转切割器，旋转切割器为由刀片驱动机构102驱动的旋转切割刀片104的形式。刀片驱动机构102可以包括选择性地使刀片驱动机构102沿向前切割方向108或向后方向110驱动旋转切割刀片104的离合器机构106。
图2示意性图示了打印系统200。在本示例中，打印系统200包括上述的切割器模块100。
切割器模块100可以是打印系统200的模块/单元，并可用于切割打印系统200在其上进行打印的打印介质。打印介质可以，例如，包括纸、卡片、包含塑料的片材、纺织品，或者可以在其上沉积材料以产生打印内容的任何其它打印介质。切割器模块100可以从打印系统200移除。在一些示例中，切割器模块100可以被单独地提供给打印系统200。打印系统200可以包括不止一个切割器模块100。例如，可以提供两个或多个切割器模块100，以切割打印介质上产生的有打印内容部分的任一侧的多余打印介质。
图3a示意性图示了切割器模块100的第一示例。该切割器模块100包括安装有刀片驱动机构102和切割器104的主体301。在本示例中，刀片驱动机构102包括可操作地与离合器106和旋转切割刀片104(以下称为“切割器104”)相连的齿轮302(以下称为“驱动齿轮302”)。在一些示例中，切割器模块100还可以包括第二、相对的切割器(未示出)，当打印介质被切割时，打印介质可以从切割器之间通过。第二切割器可以是被动的，因为它可以不被刀片驱动机构102驱动。
在本示例中，驱动齿轮302安装在齿轮轴304上，齿轮轴304是从主体301延伸的具有圆形横截面的轴。离合器106与驱动齿轮302啮合，并包括安装在齿轮轴304上的离合器基座310。离合器106与驱动齿轮302啮合，因而驱动齿轮302和离合器106相连。离合器106通过与驱动齿轮302共同围绕齿轮轴304旋转而使驱动齿轮302旋转。图3b示出了驱动齿轮302和离合器106的放大图，并且示出了与驱动齿轮302的第一啮合结构314相啮合的第一离合器结构312。
驱动齿轮302被打印系统200的驱动机构驱动以旋转。在图3a-3c的示例中，打印系统200的驱动机构包括可操作地连接至驱动齿轮302的驱动杆303，从而驱动杆303的旋转引起驱动齿轮302的旋转。驱动杆303可以具有如附图所示的圆形横截面或者非圆形横截面(例如，六角形横截面)。驱动杆303的旋转可以经由与驱动杆303接触的传递轮305传递到驱动齿轮302。例如，传递轮305可包括齿轮啮合部(未示出)，该齿轮啮合部与驱动齿轮302上的对应的啮合部(未示出)啮合，以将旋转运动从驱动杆303传递到驱动齿轮302。
如上所述，驱动齿轮302可操作地连接到切割器104以及离合器106，从而，当驱动齿轮302旋转时，切割器104被迫使旋转。例如，驱动齿轮302沿第一方向306的旋转运动可以引起切割器104沿向前切割方向108的旋转运动，驱动齿轮302沿第二方向308的旋转运动可以引起切割器104沿向后方向110的旋转运动。例如，切割器齿轮(未示出)可以与图示的驱动齿轮302啮合，从而驱动齿轮302的旋转运动使得切割器104旋转。由于离合器106使驱动齿轮302旋转，因此离合器基座310绕齿轮轴304的旋转运动实现切割器104的旋转运动。
当切割器模块100用于切割打印介质时，刀片驱动机构102可以驱动切割器104沿向前切割方向108旋转。例如，打印系统200的驱动机构可以沿第一方向306驱动驱动齿轮302，从而切割器104沿向前切割方向108旋转。当沿向前切割方向108旋转时，切割器104可以沿如图3a中的箭头318所示的向前前进方向前进地切割打印介质。
当驱动机构102沿向后方向110驱动切割器104时，切割器模块100可以被迫使朝向停止位置(也称为“静止位置”)以及沿图3c中箭头316所示的方向远离切割位置(也称为“活动位置”)旋转。切割器模块100朝向停止位置的旋转绕驱动杆303的轴线303a发生。轴线303a的位置相对于打印介质前进所沿的介质路径是固定的。在切割位置，切割器104与介质路径上的打印介质接触。当切割器模块100朝向停止位置绕轴线303a旋转时，切割器104移动远离介质路径。下面描述能够使切割器模块100朝向停止位置旋转所使用的示例方法。
再次参考图3b，离合器基座310可以包括螺旋弹簧，该螺旋弹簧包括由弹簧丝构成的线圈。第一离合器结构312可以包括臂312形式的突起，该突起延伸远离离合器基座310的由弹簧丝的端部部分形成的端部。弹簧丝的与臂312相反的端部可以，例如，固定到齿轮轴304。离合器106可以通过臂312与啮合结构314啮合的方式与驱动齿轮302啮合，使得离合器106和驱动齿轮302相连。
啮合结构314可以是驱动齿轮302的表面中的凹陷或缺口，臂312的端部可以被容纳于该凹陷或缺口内。在图3a-3c的示例中，啮合结构314是驱动齿轮302的面向齿轮轴304的表面中的凹陷或缺口，臂312的端部位于该啮合结构314中，以便与之啮合。在一些示例中，啮合结构314可以由驱动齿轮302表面的一对突起形成，当驱动齿轮302绕驱动轴304旋转时，该对突起将臂312容纳在其之间。
在示例中，当驱动齿轮302旋转时，臂312可以被容纳在啮合结构314内。离合器基座310和齿轮轴304之间的接触导致指向与离合器106绕齿轮轴304的旋转方向相反方向的摩擦扭矩。当足够的扭矩施加于驱动齿轮302以克服该摩擦扭矩时，齿轮的旋转使离合器106对应于驱动齿轮302的旋转而绕齿轮轴304旋转。
在示例中，离合器基座310和齿轮轴304之间的摩擦扭矩是这样的，当驱动齿轮302被驱动杆303驱动时，离合器106使得齿轮沿两个方向旋转。因此，在示例中，切割器104可以有选择地被驱动以沿向后方向110和向前切割方向108旋转。
在示例中，离合器基座310和齿轮轴304之间的与驱动齿轮302绕齿轮轴304沿第二方向308的旋转运动相反的摩擦扭矩可以是这样的，当驱动齿轮302通过打印系统200的驱动机构在第二方向308上驱动时，切割器模块100被迫使朝向停止位置并远离切割位置旋转，并且驱动齿轮302在第二方向308上旋转。
离合器基座310和齿轮轴304之间的与驱动齿轮302绕齿轮轴304沿第二方向308的旋转运动相反的摩擦扭矩，可以比离合器基座310和齿轮轴304之间的与驱动齿轮302绕齿轮轴304沿第一方向306的旋转运动相反的摩擦扭矩更大。摩擦扭矩在两个相反方向上的这种差别可以允许切割器104沿向前切割方向108容易旋转，但沿相反方向则提供了更大阻力，这足够引起切割器模块100绕轴线303a旋转到停止位置，同时使切割器104能够沿向后方向110旋转，从而防止物质被截留在切割器内。
例如，与驱动齿轮302沿第二方向308的旋转相反的摩擦扭矩可以足够高，从而，打印系统200的驱动机构提供的旋转运动并不是全部被转化为驱动齿轮302沿第二方向308的旋转运动。这导致部分旋转运动被转化为切割器模块100朝向停止位置的旋转。
当驱动齿轮302沿第一方向306被驱动时，臂312可以沿第一方向306被啮合结构314推动。当这发生时，臂312相对于离合器基座310初始移动一定量，而离合器基座310是静止的。由于如图3b所示的螺旋弹簧在齿轮轴304上的取向，这种移动导致离合器基座310围绕齿轮轴304松弛。沿第一方向306推动臂312在反方向上拉动弹簧线的相对端(臂312和固定于齿轮轴304的相对端)，导致弹簧线圈的部分展开(松弛)。这会减小离合器基座310和齿轮轴304之间的摩擦扭矩，允许离合器基座310抵靠齿轮轴304滑移，而离合器基座310和齿轮轴304之间的夹持力更小。在弹簧座处于这种松弛配置下离合器基座310绕齿轮轴304旋转，驱动切割刀片104沿向前方向旋转。
另一方面，当驱动齿轮302沿第二方向308旋转时，臂312沿第二方向308被推动。臂312沿第二方向110相对于离合器基座310初始移动。由于螺旋弹簧在齿轮轴304上的如图3b所示的取向，这导致离合器基座310围绕齿轮轴304紧缩，从而在轴304上施加抓紧力。沿第二方向推动臂312推动弹簧线的相对端(臂312和固定于齿轮轴304的相对端)，导致螺旋弹簧缩紧。这增加了离合器基座310和齿轮轴304之间的摩擦扭矩。在弹簧座处于这种缩紧配置下，离合器基座310绕齿轮轴304旋转，驱动切割刀片104沿向后方向旋转。
沿第二方向308(离合器基座310处于缩紧配置)的摩擦扭矩因此大于沿第一方向306(离合器基座处于松弛配置)的摩擦扭矩。沿第二方向的较大摩擦扭矩导致驱动杆303的一些旋转运动转化为切割器模块100绕轴线303a朝向停止位置的旋转运动。沿第二方向110施加到驱动齿轮302外部的扭矩的一部分没有转化为驱动齿轮302的旋转。这导致切割器模块100沿箭头316所示的方向围绕轴线303a朝向停止位置旋转。
上述的第一示例性切割器模块100包括与啮合结构408相啮合的臂312。图4示意性图示了切割器模块100的第二示例，在第二示例中，离合器106包括与驱动齿轮302的第二啮合结构404相啮合的第一离合器结构402，以及与驱动齿轮302的第二啮合结构408相啮合的第二离合器结构406。
在本示例中，第一离合器结构402和第二离合器结构406是第一臂402和第二臂406形式的突起。第一啮合结构404可以是驱动齿轮302的表面上的例如突起的结构，当驱动齿轮302沿第一方向306旋转时，该结构与第一臂402相啮合。第二啮合结构408可以是驱动齿轮302的表面上的例如突起的结构，当驱动齿轮302沿第二方向308旋转时，该结构抓取第二臂406。在本示例中，驱动齿轮沿第一方向和第二方向的旋转均会导致离合器基座310的松弛。
第一臂402可以比第二臂406具有更大的长度。这意味着，当第一臂402沿第一方向306被第一啮合结构404推动时，施加以促使离合器基座310沿第一方向306旋转的力矩，大于当第二臂406沿第二方向308被第二啮合结构408推动时(对于施加到驱动齿轮302的相同大小的驱动力)施加以促使离合器基座310沿第二方向308旋转的力矩。
由于施加在第一臂402和第二臂406上的相应力矩的这种差异(因此，在相反方向上以相同的驱动大小施加在第一臂402和第二臂406上的力矩)，离合器基座310在第一臂402沿第一方向306被推动时比在第二臂406沿第二方向308被推动时更松弛。这导致沿第二方向308的旋转摩擦扭矩比沿第一方向306的更大。因此，切割器104可以轻松地沿向前切割方向转向，而沿向后方向110的旋转伴随有足够的以与上述相同的方式驱动切割器模块100朝向停止位置旋转的摩擦扭矩。
根据上述的示例，驱动302沿第二方向308的力矩沿向后方向驱动切割器刀片104，同时伴随着切割器模块100朝向停止位置的力矩。在打印过程中，打印介质可以向后移动，例如，沿与向前前进方向318相反的方向。在沿前进方向而不是沿向后方向实现驱动切割器刀片的旋转的系统中，沿向后方向的驱动则会导致切割器模块朝向停止位置运动而不是导致切割器旋转，向后的运动会例如引起对打印介质的损坏或者切割器模块或打印系统的部件阻塞。因为根据本文描述的示例的切割器模块100使切割器104沿向后方向110旋转，所以可以防止或减轻这种损坏或阻塞。
图5示出了打印系统200的部件。图5示出了包括驱动杆303的打印系统200的驱动机构502。在该示例中，有两个切割器模块100连接至驱动机构502。所示的切割器模块100可以是如上述任何示例中所述的。如上所述，驱动杆303的旋转驱动切割器模块100的齿轮302旋转以驱动切割器刀片104。
可以使用图5所示的部件来执行使用切割器模块100的方法。驱动机构502可以使切割器模块100从切割位置(如图5所示)移动到停止位置(未示出)，以及切割器模块100的切割器104在朝向停止位置的运动期间沿向后方向110(与向前切割方向108相反)旋转。
例如，驱动杆303被驱动旋转，因而切割器模块100沿箭头316所示的方向朝向停止位置旋转。同时切割器模块100的驱动齿轮302沿第二方向308旋转(被驱动杆303的旋转所驱动)，并导致各自的切割器104沿向后方向110旋转。这种方法可以，例如，在与驱动机构502相连的任何数量的切割器模块上执行。
已提供上述描述来图示并描述所述原理的示例。该描述并非旨在穷举或将这些原理限制为所公开的任何精准形式。鉴于上述的教导，许多修改和变化是可能的。应当理解的是，关于任何一个示例所描述的任何特征可以单独使用，或者与所描述的其他特征结合，并且还可以与任何其它示例的任何特征结合，或者任意其它示例任意结合。
