When the thin slice feeding was operated, solenoid was disconnected, so that pick-up roller 22 contacts with uppermost thin slice.The thin slice that contacts with pick-up roller 22 is by the driving feeding of pick-up roller 22.In this state, by rotating pick-up roller 22 from the driving force that conveying roller 23 transmits by synchronous belt.The thin slice that is driven by pick-up roller 22 is by conveying roller 23 and reduction roll 25 clampings and conveying.Make reduction roll 25 when the direction opposite with the thin slice throughput direction rotated by unshowned torque limiter, conveying roller 23 rotates along the throughput direction of thin slice.
Thereby when only carrying a thin slice, owing to have only a thin slice to be clamped between two rollers, the friction force between thin slice and roller has overcome the driving force of torque limiter to reduction roll 25, so reduction roll rotates along throughput direction.
Under the situation that two or more thin slices advance overlappingly, when the clip position that arrives between conveying roller 23 and the reduction roll 25, friction force between thin slice just becomes and is weaker than the power of torque limiter, reduction roll 25 rotates along the direction opposite with throughput direction thus, and has only the separated and feeding in advance of uppermost thin slice in a plurality of thin slices.
Like this, advance simultaneously at pick-up roller 22 under the situation of a plurality of thin slices, aforementioned functional makes only separates in these a plurality of thin slices and advances uppermost thin slice, and the thin slice that is stacked on thus in the thin slice box 21 can be carried one by one.Then, the thin slice that so separates is transported to thin slice location division 9.

On the other hand, form at dual-side image under the situation of pattern, after by fixing roller 26 and pressure roll 27, thin slice is transported to two-sided 7.
The thin slice that is transported in two-sided 7 passes through two-sided transport path 29, and is directed in the double surface unit (sheet turn-over device) 30.Then, for multiimage forms, thin slice is transported to thin slice location division 9 by feed rolls 31 again, then, and to be discharged to the outside of image processing system 1 with mode identical under one-sided image formation pattern.
Below roll-over unit 30 will be described, it is as the sheet turn-over device in the present embodiment.
In roll-over unit 30, be supported between band driven roller of locating the conveying starting position 35 and the band driven roller 36 of the carrying the end position place as the adsorption band 33 of used for conveyer belt of the present invention in absorption and conveying thin slice.On the chip sorption surface of adsorption band 33 of the position of band driven roller 35 positions that are in from 180 ° of the position distortions on the chip sorption surface of the adsorption band 33 of the position of band driven roller 36.More specifically, face down, and face up on the chip sorption surface of the adsorption band 33 of the position of band driven roller 36 on the chip sorption surface of adsorption band 33 of the position of band driven roller 35.
In the present embodiment, the chip sorption surface is twisted 180 °, but this angle can suitably be selected as required.
Also carry the place, starting position at thin slice, pressure roll 39 clips adsorption band 33 and is with driven roller 35 relative.Pressure roll 39 applies specific biasing force to band driven roller 35, and the thin slice that is transported to roll-over unit 30 thus is adsorbed is with 33 absorption.The biasing force that is applied to band driven roller 35 can be aspect size and applying method, for example according to the type of thin slice, by solenoid or Electric Machine Control.
In addition, support roller 37 is arranged on the substantial middle place of band driven roller 35 and band driven roller 36, and in the inboard of supported adsorption band 33, for fear of its phase mutual friction.
Although be omitted in the present embodiment, drive by the drive unit such as motor as the band driven roller 35,36 of drive unit of the present invention, so that adsorption band 33 rotates with predetermined speed.In addition, the transportation performance of band may be enhanced, for example by forming rib on the end of adsorption band 33 or being provided for regulating the catanator of the aligning of adsorption band 33 by in band driven roller 35,36 any.
On the other hand, in order to make chip sorption to adsorption band 33, used adsorption band charged electrostatically device.For the electrostatic charging of adsorption band 33,, supplying with band driven roller 35,36 and support roller 37, thereby provide electrostatic force to adsorption band 33 with electric current as the charging control section 40 control AC power supplies 41 of as shown in Figure 2 control device of the present invention.Can use the DC power supply and supply with band driven roller 35,36 and support roller 37 electric currents, thereby provide electrostatic force to adsorption band 33.
As mentioned above, drive to band and to send roller 35,36 and support roller 37 that electric current is provided,, still,, just do not need to provide electric current to all these members as long as can in adsorption band 33, obtain the electrostatic force of necessary absorption affinity to obtain electrostatic force.
In addition, according to the type (for example weight of unit area, rigidity, thickness or the like) of thin slice, the required absorption affinity of absorption thin slice is variable.Therefore, can be by in charging control section 40, reducing power consumption according to the thin slice type control absorption affinity that will use.Also can be by the thin slice that is transferred with the identification of unshowned sensor or analog, and reduce power consumption by the absorption affinity of controlling each thin slice.
Below, will the function of the roll-over unit 30 of present embodiment be described.
Thin slice is carried between inlet conveying 42a, 42b, and is adsorbed below adsorption band 33 by the charge function of band driven roller 35.The thin slice that is adsorbed to adsorption band 33 is directed into the conveying end position along the distorted shape of adsorption band 33.
At the conveying end position of roll-over unit 30, outlet conveying 43a, 43b are arranged to the position of facing mutually as shown in Figure 6.Jump up when from adsorption band 33 separation to cause bad thin slice conveying for an end that prevents thin slice, outlet conveying 43a is provided with the covering that length is L.
Thin slice only separates from adsorption band 33 by the rigidity that is adsorbed on the thin slice on the adsorption band 33, and this has utilized the adsorption band of being determined by the external diameter of band driven roller 36 33 in the curvature of carrying end position and the resistance to bending (passing through flex apart) of thin slice.More clearly, have the rigidity bigger by adsorption band 33 absorption and the thin slice carried, thereby thin slice can not carry end position to change direction, and separate from the absorption surface of adsorption band 33 than the absorption affinity of adsorption band.
Fig. 7 illustrates another exemplary method that is used for from adsorption band 33 separating slices.
Electric charge is eliminated pin 45 and is carried out separation by the absorption affinity that reduces adsorption band 33, and disengaging pawl 46 is forced separating slices and adsorption band 33 by cam claw.Disengaging pawl 46 is provided with rotationally around rotating center 46a, and contacts with adsorption band 33 by unshowned torque spring.
Therefore, this have electric charge and eliminate pin 45 and disengaging pawl 46 or the separation method by flex apart and make the thin slice upset, and do not cause the change of the transporting velocity of adsorption band 33 and thin slice.
Fig. 7 illustrates and is used in combination the situation that electric charge is eliminated pin 45 and disengaging pawl 46, but they needn't be used in combination, but can use any one individually.In addition, electric charge elimination pin 45 and disengaging pawl 46 may be used as aforementioned servicing unit by flex apart.
Fig. 8 is the skeleton view that is in by under the actual thin slice state of carrying to roll-over unit 30 illustrated in fig. 7 at Fig. 2.As shown in Figure 8, thin slice S carries to roll-over unit 30 from inlet conveying 42a under positive (surface that the first time, image formed of thin slice) state up.
The thin slice S that is transferred is carried by adsorption band 33, and the rotation on direction B shown in Figure 3 drives adsorption band 33 in rotation on the direction A shown in Figure 2 and band driven roller 36 by band driven roller 35.In this state, support roller 37 is driven along direction C shown in Figure 2, and pressure roll 39 rotates along direction D shown in Figure 2.Thin slice is adsorbed to adsorption band 33 in its front, and is directed to the conveying end position along the distorted-structure of adsorption band 33 in this state.
Then, thin slice S separates by the separation method of aforesaid adsorption band 33 and thin slice, and transfers to next transport path from outlet conveying 43a, 43b.Carrying the starting position and carrying between the end position and twist 180 ° owing to constitute the surface of the adsorption band 33 of roll-over unit 30, thin slice is by being carried by such adsorption band 33, and its front and back is reversed.The direction of twist of adsorption band 33 and throughput direction preferably are chosen as the front portion that makes thin slice S be brought to device.
Below, will another example of the turning device of present embodiment be described.Fig. 9 is the skeleton view of another example that the turning device of present embodiment is shown, wherein, with composition identical among Fig. 1 use with Fig. 1 in identical symbolic representation, and the explanation among Fig. 1 is suitable for.
Fig. 1 has illustrated method by single adsorption band 33 upset thin slices to Fig. 8.Yet, be not to pass through single adsorption band 33 upset thin slices, but can obtain similar effect by the upset that is divided into two parts as shown in Figure 9.
In turning device shown in Figure 9 47, thin slice S carries from direction E, and stands 90 ° of upsets by the adsorption band 49 of the first turning device 47a.After through the first turning device 47a, thin slice S carries through intermediate path 52 under the support of conveying roller 51.Then, in case arrive the second turning device 47b, it further stands 90 ° switching process by adsorption band 50.Then, overturning altogether after 180 °, thin slice is discharged along direction F, and is transported to thin slice location division 9 once more.
This switching process is divided into two parts, to reduce the required distance of overturning, and thus can be so that device is compacter.Aforesaid turning device 47 illustrates adsorption band structure divided into two parts, still, and this two parts that separately are not limited to, but may be three or more parts.Therefore, this separate construction of turning device makes and does not adopt large-sized band just can enjoy effect of the present invention.
In the roll-over unit 30 of present embodiment, as previously mentioned, be used to carry the adsorption band 33 of thin slice supported between band driven roller 35 and 36 with 180 ° of distorted shape, and thin slice is carried by being attracted on such adsorption band 33, can reduce the required time of thin slice upset thus, to improve throughput rate in the duplex printing process.
In addition, by chip sorption is arrived adsorption band 33, and carrying the starting position and carrying between the end position and carrying thin slice under the state of distortion at a predetermined angle by adsorption band 33, the roll-over unit 30 of present embodiment can reduce the upset required time of thin slice, needn't carry thin slice with the speed that increases thus, therefore, reduce the pollution on thin slice of roller or analog, and avoided degenerating of thin slice quality.
