Figure 11~Figure 13 is the explanatory drawing of the action of expression arrestment mechanism 100.Position relation when at first, Figure 11 (a) expression open-close lid 4 is positioned at closed position.In the case, form following configuration relation: with the binder bolt 164 that is fixed on body frame 40 1 sides is the circular circumference face of the cam follower 170 of oscillation center, from the printer rear side, be overlapped on the smooth camming surface 121 of cam part 110 of switch bracket 50 1 sides that open-close lid 4 is installed.
Under this state, if open-close lid 4 is opened in the locking of mechanism 60 (with reference to the Fig. 6) that unlock, then cam part 110 is that rotate upward at the center with supporting axle 43.Cam follower 170 is along with open-close lid 4 opens, and relatively slides downwards along camming surface 121, and the oscillating quantity of swing arm 160 that cam follower 170 is installed is very little.Therefore, when open-close lid 4 began to open, it is minimum that arrestment mechanism 100 acts on the braking force of open-close lid 4.
Shown in Figure 11 (b), if open-close lid 4 is roughly opened 10 degree from closed position, then cam follower 170 breaks away from from the 1st camming surface 121.Shown in Figure 11 (c), if open-close lid 4 is roughly opened 15 degree, camming surface 124 is run into cam follower 170.After this, along with the increase of the aperture (amounts of rotation) of open-close lid 4, cam follower 170 slides to the camming surface 123 that is attached thereto from camming surface 124 on one side, by this camming surface 124 upward pushed on one side.As a result, the swing arm 160 of supporting cam wheel push rod 170 is swung upward.Because swing arm 160 paid surface friction drag by belleville spring 166, so increase the braking force of regulation with respect to the opening action of open-close lid 4.Therefore, open-close lid 4 can fiercely not opened.
In this example, shown in Figure 12 (a), if open-close lid 4 is roughly opened 60 degree, cam follower 170 arrives the end of camming surfaces 123, after this, along with the increase of the aperture of open-close lid 4, along camming surface 123, slides to opposition side.In addition, shown in Figure 12 (b), if open-close lid 4 reaches the fully open position (open position) of opening 90 degree, cam follower 170 turns back to the end of the camming surface side of camming surface 123.
Then, if close the open-close lid 4 that is positioned at open position, then cam part 110 rotates thereupon, and from the cam follower 170 detaching cam faces 123 that stop, and the state of cam follower 170 is run in the end of the camming surface 122 of formation opposite side.Figure 13 (a) expression open-close lid 4 is closed to the state of the position of about 85 degree.Thereafter since with the closing motion interlock of open-close lid 4, cam follower 170 is pushed downwards by camming surface 122, so swing arm 160 is swung downwards.Thus, to the closing motion of open-close lid 4, apply the braking force of regulation.If open-close lid 4 is closed to the roughly aperture of 45 degree, then cam follower 170 arrives the end of camming surface 122, thereafter, along camming surface 122, slides round about.In addition, shown in Figure 13 (c),, then turn back to the other end of camming surface 122 if open-close lid 4 is closed to the roughly aperture of 30 degree.
If continue to close open-close lid 4, then cam follower 170 breaks away from from camming surface 122, shown in Figure 11 (b), forms the state that is overlapped on the camming surface 122.Thereafter, make open-close lid 4 move to closed position during, cam follower 170 slides along camming surface 121.At camming surface 121 is when rotate at the center with supporting axle 43, and the oscillating quantity that pushes the swing arm of swinging 160 by this camming surface 121 is very little.That is, and run under the state of camming surface 122,123,124 at cam follower 170, the oscillating quantity of the swing arm 160 when these camming surfaces are rotated is compared less.Therefore, when closing open-close lid 4, after cam follower 170 broke away from from camming surface 122, is overlapped on the camming surface 121, the braking force that acts on open-close lid 4 reduced.
So, in this example, when closing open-close lid 4, after open-close lid 4 becomes the angle before the closed position, compare, act on little braking force with the braking force that is acted on before this.Therefore,, then can avoid when locking, being out of shape, be absorbed in the problem of monolateral closed condition owing to bigger braking force causes open-close lid 4 if, set the lock out action of beginning locking framework 60 after the pivotal position of the little value switching of braking force.In addition, if suitably set the motion track of camming surface 122,123,124 and the motion track of cam follower 170, then after open-close lid 4 unlocks, move to open position during, and from the open position to the lock out action, begin move during, can apply big braking force to open-close lid 4.Therefore,, just can prevent fierce switch open-close lid 4, problem that the operator is injured or the problem of damaging in generations such as open-close lid component parts if suitably set the value of this braking force.
Herein, this routine arrestment mechanism 100 can load and unload on printer 1.That is, on body frame 40, brake unit 150 is installed releasably,, cam part 110 is installed releasably opening and closing on the frame 51.Therefore, when the switching of open-close lid 4, do not need to act on like that under the situation of braking force, can take off arrestment mechanism 100.For example, to be horizontally set under the situation of using printer 1 under the horizontal state on the cashier, in the switching of open-close lid 4, the braking force that is installed in the torsion spring formation on its supporting axle 43 is promptly passable.
To this, under situation about using with the vertical configuration state that printer 1 is installed on the wall, the closed position of open-close lid 4 is vertical, when opening open-close lid 4, towards the horizontal opening position, utilizes deadweight fiercely to open from vertical closed position.Therefore need big braking force.In such cases,,, can prevent from fiercely to open open-close lid by to the big braking force of open-close lid 4 effects if arrestment mechanism 100 is installed.In addition, owing to the position that the lock out action from open-close lid 4 begins, big braking force is switched to little braking force, closes so can also avoid taking place the monolateral of open-close lid 4.
