The specific embodiment
At first, with reference to the formation of Fig. 1~Fig. 7 to hot copying and printing machine of the present invention, particularly ribbon cartridge maintaining body and ribbon cartridge describe.
The hot copying and printing machine body of symbol 101 expressions in Fig. 1.In hot copying and printing machine body 101, platen 102 and printhead 103 are being set.Platen 102 is fixed on certain position.Printhead 103 is arranged on the printer body in the horizontal direction freely to rotate, and the spring by not representing among the figure applies spring force from platen 103 with deviating from.And printhead 103 joins erecting on the sheet 105 of first slide unit 104 to.Therefore, slide, printhead 103 can be moved to the direction of pushing or deviate from respect to platen 102 by first slide unit 104.
Platen 102 needs only to relatively pushing or deviating from direction and move with printhead 103.So, also can make platen 102 and the interlock of first slide unit 104, platen 102 is moved in the direction of pushing or deviate from fixing printhead 103.
Then, on hot copying and printing machine body 101, two rotating shafts 106,107 are set, ribbon cartridge 108 is installed on these rotating shafts 106,107.In the inside of ribbon cartridge 108, accommodate configuration colour band 109 and its take-up reel 110.In addition, as shown in Figure 2, near the diapire 111 of ribbon cartridge 108, the sidewall at the both ends of the line segment P between corresponding crosscut colour band 109 and the take-up reel 110 is cut open, and forms to engage and bears portion 112,113, and at one end form through hole 114 in the portion.
And, disposing the second tabular slide unit 115 in the bottom of ribbon cartridge 108.Second slide unit 115 preferably is made of high-strength materials such as metals, shown in Fig. 3 (a), forms pair of engaging portion 118,119 on the two ends of one side.These junction surfaces 118,119 erect sheet 116 and outstanding to transverse direction from the front end that erects sheet 116 and engaging claw 117 that form constitutes by what erect respectively, by erecting sheet 116 and engaging claw 117 forms the font of falling L.In the inboard of each engaging claw 117, form the rake 120 that from the base portion to the front end, tilts.In addition, apply spring force by extension spring 121 on second slide unit 115, make it to keep will be to the trend of first slide unit, 104 side shiftings always.
With when mounted, the joint that the mode of installing on the position at the junction surface 118,119 of corresponding second slide unit 115 forms the two ends of described ribbon cartridge 108 bears portion 112,113.
And, as shown in Figure 4,, form the hole 122 that is substantially triangular in shape in the front of second slide unit 115, in this delthyrium 122, engaging the prominent axle 123 of the front end that is formed at described first slide unit 104.So second slide unit 115 links and slides with first slide unit 104 within the specific limits.In addition, the slippage of first slide unit 104 is set at the degree of about twice of the slippage of second slide unit 115.
In described formation, when carrying out the colour band exchange, first slide unit 104 is slided to the right side of figure by proper device, as Fig. 6 and shown in Figure 7, make platen 102 and printhead 103 deviate from mobile.
Like this, when first slide unit 104 is slided, prominent axle 123 is positioned at the front of the delthyrium 122 of second slide unit 115, the position shown in Figure 4 of first slide unit, 104 sides just, therefore, slide into till half degree of slippage, prominent axle 123 all is the medial movement at delthyrium 122, and second slide unit 115 does not move.After first slide unit 104 surpasses half of slippage, described prominent axle 123 touches the wall of the inboard of delthyrium shown in Figure 5 122, if be moved further again, prominent axle 123 will push second slide unit 115 and resist the spring force of extension spring 121, and second slide unit 115 also links with first slide unit 104, moves to the position of Fig. 6 always.
Then,, and pull down the ribbon cartridge 108 that uses, on the rotating shaft of hot copying and printing machine body 101, pass new ribbon cartridge 108, install from taking-up colour band 109 between platen 102 and the printhead 103.At this moment, shown in Fig. 3 (a), a side's of second slide unit 115 junction surface 118, the through hole 114 of diapire 111 that passes ribbon cartridge 108 is up to its middle part.And then, load onto between printhead 103 and the platen 102 be printed material (figure expression) after, make first slide unit 104 to sliding in the other direction, printhead 103 is pushed platen 102 ground moves.
When sliding first slide unit 104, as shown in Figure 6, prominent axle 123 is positioned at the inside of the delthyrium 122 of second slide unit 115, but, as Fig. 1 and (b) shown in Figure 3, by the spring force of extension spring 121, make second slide unit 115 keep trend to first slide unit, 104 side shiftings always, therefore, with 104 interlocks of first slide unit, second slide unit 115 also moves.After second slide unit 115 is moved by the effect of spring force, also move to equidirectional at its junction surface 118,119, the rake 120 of the engaging claw 117 at junction surface 118,119 engages with the portion of bearing 112,113 that engages of the diapire 111 of ribbon cartridge 108, but, diapire 111 is pressed to the below by the rake 120 of engaging claw 117, therefore, can keep ribbon cartridge 108 securely.
In the moment that engages in this wise, second slide unit 115 stops in the position of Fig. 5, no longer continues to move.On the other hand, first slide unit 104 continues to move again, so prominent axle 123 moves to the front face side of delthyrium 122 as shown in Figure 4, simultaneously, printhead 103 is pushed down platen 102.So, just can print.
As mentioned above, because second slide unit 115 moves and engages with ribbon cartridge 108 with first slide unit 104, therefore, by constitute second slide unit 115 with high-strength materials such as metals, can positively ribbon cartridge 108 be remained on second slide unit 115.So, when being installed to ribbon cartridge 108 on the printer body, shown in Fig. 3 (b), even, also can keep ribbon cartridge 108 fully securely owing to be arranged on rotating shaft 106,107 on the printer body with the preventing that rotary part 125 jack-up from having removed and prevent turning effort of ribbon cartridge 108.
And, finish maintenance at the first half of the stroke of second slide unit 115 to ribbon cartridge 108, after, owing to blocked with the machinery of first slide unit 104 and contacted, therefore in order to keep ribbon cartridge 108, second slide unit 115 is not pushed printhead 103, but pushes down printhead 103 with certain pressure by platen 102, therefore can not impact print quality.
In addition, moving of above-mentioned first slide unit 104 and second slide unit 115 is not ribbon cartridge 108, can carry out equally when exchange is printed with running stores such as pipe, adhesive tape yet.
And the position of the junction surface of ribbon cartridge and second slide unit that engages with this junction surface also is not limited to above-mentioned example.
Then, with reference to Fig. 8 (a)~Figure 14,, especially tape spool and the ribbon cartridge that is used for the package colour band described the formation of hot copying and printing machine of the present invention.
Fig. 8 (a) and (b) be the stereogram of ribbon cartridge, Fig. 9 is a upward view of removing the state of diapire, Figure 10 (a) and (b) be respectively the stereogram and the profile of tape spool.In last figure, symbol A represents the ribbon cartridge of heat manifolding usefulness.This ribbon cartridge A, be with package the tape spool 202 of hot carbon ribbon 201 and the tape spool 203 that batches colour band 201 usefulness be installed in the tape drum 204 and constitute, tape spool 202 and package tape spool 203 are made of synthetic resin, two ends up and down at the tube a of portion of central authorities are provided with flange b, inside at a of tube portion forms centre bore 206, upper end at a of tube portion forms recess 205, on recess 205, forms the clutch part 207 of a plurality of tab shapes radially from described centre bore 206.And, be formed with prominent bar 208 at its longitudinal direction of the inner face upper edge of the described tube a of portion.
At Figure 10 (a) and (b), the situation with package tape spool 203 is that example illustrates tape spool especially.In package tape spool 203, in the outside of a of tube portion minor diameter part 261 is being set, and is forming difference in height.Owing to print the influence at the position that has consumed ink, can produce crooked by the colour band 201 after printhead (the scheming not shown) printing.Therefore, when colour band 201 is rolled up to package tape spool 203, can produce the ill situation of colour band 201 outer edge package longitudinally.But,, send and just can successfully be wrapped at last by the colour band after the printhead prints 201 from tape spool 202 owing to be provided with minor diameter part 261.
On the other hand, as Fig. 9, Figure 13 and shown in Figure 14, also can not need the minor diameter part of a of portion 261 and flange b be set on tape spool 202, and colour band 201 directly is wrapped to the level and smooth a of tube portion.Because the minor diameter part of a of portion 261 and flange b are not set, in the inside of ribbon cartridge body 204, can dispose tape spool 202 and package tape spool 203 nearer, realize the miniaturization of ribbon cartridge body.
And, the configuration of tape spool 202 and package tape spool 203 is not had particular determination, also can for dispose opposite configuration as shown in Figure 9.
As Figure 10 (a) and (b), on the clutch part 207 of tape spool 202 and package tape spool 203, possesses the conical surface with respect to the vertical direction inclination of recess 205.Shown in Figure 10 (a), the base end part of wall ratio recess 205 sides of the leading section by making the tape spool upper end side is thinner, and the wall thickness of the wall ratio tape spool outer circumferential side part of tape spool central side part is thinner, and forms the conical surface of this clutch part 207.And, clutch part 207, with two sides that engaging claw 221 described later engages among, only with a side side (the first side 207a) as the conical surface, and the opposing party's side (the second side 207b) is as being vertical face substantially with respect to recess 205.
Ribbon cartridge body 204, constitute box-like by upper wall 209 and diapire 210 with sidewall 211, portion within it, the resettlement section 212 that can accommodate the package tape spool 203 of described tape spool 202 and colour band 201 is being set with rotating freely, and, a pair of small pulley 213 that is used to expose colour band 201 is being set being wrapped to the way of package tape spool 203 from the colour band 201 that described tape spool 202 is drawn.The inboard that is used to locate the circular-arc bead 214 of colour band tape spool 202 and package tape spool 203 on diapire 210 forms resettlement section 212.In the inboard of small pulley 213, form the space, the printhead of hot copying and printing machine (scheming not shown) is located in this space.
In addition, it is such that the joint in the ribbon cartridge 108 as shown in Figure 2 bears portion 112,113, also can form otch on the sidewall at the both ends up and down of Fig. 8 (a).Equally, the through hole 114 in the ribbon cartridge 108 as shown in Figure 2 is such, also can form through hole on the diapire 210 of ribbon cartridge body 204.Form to engage like this and bear portion and through hole, and fit together, just can positively keep being installed in the ribbon cartridge on the hot copying and printing machine with above-mentioned ribbon cartridge maintaining body.
On the upper wall 209 of ribbon cartridge 204, on the position of corresponding tape spool 202 and package tape spool 203, form two baffle plates 215.That is, form the individual grooving 217,218 that is the U font substantially of long and short two, form baffle plate 215, between two groovings 217,218, form the linking part 219 of L font in the inboard of grooving 217,218 by the ground of subtend on upper wall 209.As shown in figure 11, part at each center of an end of described baffle plate 215, corresponding described tape spool 202 and described package tape spool 203, form minor axis portion 220, on the part of each clutch part 207 of the more front end of minor axis portion 220, corresponding described tape spool 202 and package tape spool 203, form the engaging claw 221 of overshooting shape.And the end of the opposition side of described baffle plate 215 forms the press section 222 that can push from the outside.After pushing this press section 222, then baffle plate 215 is that shaking of lever-like up and down done at the center with described linking part 219.
According to described formation, the colour band tape spool 202 in ribbon cartridge body 204 and the top of the centre bore 206 of package tape spool 203, insert the minor axis portion 220 of the baffle plate 215 of described ribbon cartridge body 204, therefore, as shown in figure 11, colour band tape spool 202 and package tape spool 203 can be that the center rotates freely with described minor axis portion 220.And, on the radial clutch part 207 around the upper end of colour band tape spool 202 and the centre bore 206 of package tape spool 203, engaging the engaging claw 221 of described baffle plate 215, therefore, described tape spool 202 and package tape spool 203 all are in the lock state, and can not rotate.So, in the time of on the hot copying and printing machine of not packing into, can not at will rotate.When colour band 1 relaxes, as shown in figure 12, by the press section 222 of lower baffle plate 215 and shake baffle plate 215, after removing the engaging of clutch part 207 of its engaging claw 221 and colour band tape spool 202 or package tape spool 203, can be exposed to the tape spool 202 or the package tape spool 203 of the through hole 216 (with reference to Fig. 8) of diapire 210 with rotations such as finger or rods.
In addition, can be not the upper wall of baffle plate and ribbon cartridge not be formed one yet, and separate formation with the upper wall of ribbon cartridge.
As shown in figure 12, when the ribbon cartridge of described formation being packed into hot copying and printing machine, as long as will be arranged at the through hole 216 that the rotating shaft 226 on the hot copying and printing machine inserts on the diapire 210 that is formed at described ribbon cartridge body 204.Then, when by the unshowned device of figure, ribbon cartridge inserted the assigned position of hot copying and printing machine and fixedly the time, the minor axis portion 220 of the upper end jack-up baffle plate 215 of rotating shaft 226, so baffle plate 215 shakes, engaging claw 221 floats, releasing engages with clutch part 207, and state unlocks.On the outside of rotating shaft 226, form prominent bar 223 along its longitudinal direction.Rotating shaft 226 is inserted each centre bore 206 of colour band tape spool 202 and package tape spool 203 from the through hole 216 of ribbon cartridge A, then since the prominent bar 208 of the prominent bar 223 of rotating shaft 226 and centre bore 206 be bonded together, therefore after rotating shaft 226 rotations, then colour band tape spool 202 also rotates with package tape spool 203.
And, as mentioned above, in the clutch part 207 of present embodiment, among two sides that engage with engaging claw 221, only with the first side 207a as the conical surface, and the second side 207b is for to be vertical substantially face with respect to recess 205.Therefore, the resistance of the rotation of the lock-out state of tape spool 202 and package tape spool 203 can make it to change according to the direction that makes the tape spool rotation.Just, during the direction rotation that engages with engaging claw 221 when the conical surface (the first side 207a), compare, can more easily rotate with the situation of the direction rotation that engages to the second side 207b of clutch part 207 and engaging claw 221 to clutch part 207.
Issue when adding lustre to belt sag when ribbon cartridge be not installed in state on the hot copying and printing machine, the user must be own winding package tape spool portion.In such state, by adopting the formation of above-mentioned clutch part, impel the user only to a direction rotation colour band, can easily solve the relaxation problem of colour band 201.
