As shown in Figure 6, each outstanding roller 30 is configured to along it axially relative with a part of intake roller 28, with every pair of circular groove part 31 with to be placed on every pair of annular projection part 32 between the circular groove part 31 corresponding.Described outstanding roller 30 comprise two outstanding, each is outstanding to have diameter D3; Be connected two hub portions 42 outstanding and that make by synthetic resin.This hub portion 42 comprises: hub 34 in the middle of the cylindrical shape, and it has diameter D4, and is connected at this inner radial place of outstanding 33 with corresponding two outstanding 33 axial inner ends face; With two cylindrical shape side hubs 35, it has diameter D5, and each side hub is connected in two outstanding 33 on corresponding one the inner radial of outer axial end face.In this first embodiment, the diameter D4 of middle hub 34 is greater than the diameter D5 of side hub 35.In the present invention, the D3 of diameter separately, D4, the D5 of outstanding 33, middle hub 34 and side hub 36 are configured to D3>D4 〉=D5.
As shown in Figure 7, each outstanding 33 be similar disk shaped part, be made of metal, its have its radially outermost end along the circumferential a plurality of protruding 33b of formation continuously.Each protruding 33b has triangular shaped substantially on lateral plan, has tip or acute ends.Through hole 36 forms by two outstanding 33 core separately of middle hub 34, side hub 35 and each outstanding roller 30, so that extending axially along outstanding roller 30.Elasticity axostylus axostyle 37 (as elastomeric element) is made of wind spring, and it is inserted into by through hole 36.According to this layout, each outstanding roller 30 is all done to such an extent that can rotate around corresponding elasticity axostylus axostyle 37, and can move along the direction that intersects with its rotating shaft by means of the skew of elasticity axostylus axostyle 37.
Stay bearing plate 38 is formed from a resin, and opposite end is fixed on each side plate 21a of main frame 21, and it is set at the top of exit roller 28, so that parallel with exit roller 28, as illustrated in Figures 5 and 6.Stay bearing plate 38 is formed with some mounting holes 39, and described a plurality of outstanding rollers 30 are received in respectively in these mounting holes 39., move up along being provided with the support section 40 of support elastic axostylus axostyle 37 opposite ends respectively on the axial seen opposite end of outstanding roller 30 at each mounting hole 39 so that prevent elasticity axostylus axostyle 37.In addition, in respective side hub 35 bottoms, support section 40 extends near this side hub 35, elasticity axostylus axostyle 37 be supported on by means of this bottom support section 40 below, prevented simultaneously outstanding roller 30 vertically (promptly along paper P Width) move.
In paper P is not maintained at or is clipped in situation between exit roller 28 and the outstanding roller 30, for the supported part 40 of each its opposite end in the elasticity axostylus axostyle 37 that each outstanding roller provided supports, make corresponding outstanding roller under the effect of elasticity axostylus axostyle 37, setover, as shown in Figure 6 to exit roller 28.In this example, the outstanding of each outstanding roller 30 is inserted into or is received in the exit roller 28 corresponding a pair of circular groove parts 31 33, the middle hub 34 of outstanding roller 30 then at the respective annular jut 32 of its peripheral surface place and exit roller 28 against contacting.Thereby exit roller 28 is highlighted roller 30 biasings.In other words, annular projection part 32 is inserted between two outstanding 33, makes towards middle hub 34.Yet, in this layout, each outstanding 33 be formed at its radially outermost end (projection 33) do not abut against on the inside face of respective annular part 31.For this reason, in the present embodiment, annular projection part 32 between this is to outstanding 33 has the width dimensions W that axially records along it, its less than middle hub 34 along its width dimensions W1 that axially records, each circular groove part 31 then has width dimensions W2, it is approximately ten times of each outstanding 33 thickness t 1, thereby forms a spacing C (Fig. 6) between each axial end of annular projection part 32 and each corresponding two the outstanding 33 axial inner ends face in the face of the corresponding axial end of annular projection part 32.In the present embodiment, each outstanding 33 diameter D3 and thickness t 1 are respectively about 6 millimeters and about 0.1 millimeter.The diameter D4 of middle hub 34 is approximately 4 millimeters, and the diameter D1 of exit roller 28 approximately is 8.1 millimeters, and the diameter D2 of circular groove part 31 is about 5.5 millimeters.The width dimensions W2 of circular groove part 31 is about 1.2 millimeters, and the width dimensions W (W=W1-2C) of annular projection part 32 is smaller or equal to 2 millimeters, and spacing C is smaller or equal to 1 millimeter.As mentioned above, each diameter D3, D4, the D5 of outstanding 33, the middle hub 34 of each outstanding roller 30 and side hub 35 are configured to D3>D4 〉=D5.The diameter D4 of middle hub 34 equals the diameter D5 of side hub 35, and side hub 35 abuts against on the exit roller 28, and middle hub 34 too.
In above-mentioned layout, when paper P does not remain on exit roller 28 and between the outstanding roller 30 of exit roller 28 biasing the time, each outstanding roller 30 outstanding 33 its disengaging of outermost end place and exit roller 28 radially with rotary way driving and the arbitrary portion relative with outstanding roller 30.Thereby the sharp projection 33b of outstanding 33 radially outermost seldom may wear and tear.More specifically describe, prevented sharp projection 33b owing to contact the wearing and tearing that cause with circular groove part 31 bottoms of exit roller 28 and cause to be deformed into and a kind ofly trend towards making the structure on the recording surface that the ink that sticks thereon transfers to paper P again and be deformed into the structure that a kind of width that has reduced sharp projection 33b owing to the contacts side surfaces result with circular groove part 31 trends towards formation impression on the recording surface of paper P.And the peripheral surface of the middle hub 34 of each outstanding roller 30 abuts against on the peripheral surface of respective annular jut 32 of exit roller 28, the outstanding roller 30 of raising thus or raise.Therefore, when paper P does not remain between exit roller 28 and the outstanding roller 30, can reduce each outstanding 33 amount of inserting in respective annular slot parts 31, that is, and each outstanding 33 overlapping lap of outermost end and annular projection part 32 radially.Since reduced lap, thereby can reduce when the front end that makes paper P enters between exit roller 28 and the outstanding roller 30, to be used to raise to give prominence to the power of roller 30, the outstanding roller 30 needed power that promptly raise, thus guaranteed steady feed paper P.Therefore, the line feed line-spacing can not change, and makes and can avoid striped occurring on the front end of paper P.Because the respective annular jut 32 of the maintenances of middle the hub 34 of each outstanding roller 30 and exit roller 28 is near contacting, thereby outstanding roller 30 rotates by means of the rotation of exit roller 28.Therefore,, also can reduce paper P is entered resistance between exit roller 28 and the outstanding roller 30, thus feed paper P reposefully even when the front end of paper P is run into outstanding roller 30.
As the image recorder 1 of above-mentioned structure in, instruct according to image recording, the uppermost paper P that is contained in the pile in the sheet feed cassette 3 advances by means of the rotation of paper feed roller 6b, so that dividing cardboard 8 to enter at its front end place with inclination contacts, make paper P and described pile separate, and followed to 9 feedings of paper supply path.Paper P upwards forms the U-shaped upset along paper supply path 9, and is fed on the cylinder 26 of image recording section 7, and its front end is maintained between driven roller 50 and the nip rolls 51.
On feeding (discharge), write down image, result paper P by image recording section 7, it is in the situation that is maintained at simultaneously between exit roller 28 and a plurality of outstanding roller 30 between them, the bias force of each outstanding roller 30 (promptly under the elastic force of paper P) relative resilient axostylus axostyle 37 under the resistance of paper P skew or bending is raised, as shown in Figure 8.In this case, paper P is by 32 skews of annular projection part or bend to curved configuration protruding upward between two of each outstanding roller 30 outstanding radially outermost end (protruding 33b), and paper P is offset or bends to the curved configuration of downward protrusion by corresponding two the outstanding 33 radially outermost end (protruding 33b) of each outstanding roller 30 on the part of its correspondence and circular groove part 31.Thereby, in paper P, produced tension force (with respect to the out-of-position antagonistic force), make it possible to suitable centripetal force along the paper feed direction paper feed.
The side-play amount T of paper P (millimeter) (as shown in Figure 8) just is offset the amount that enters each circular groove part 31 by means of the measured paper P of clearance C between each axial end of the width dimensions W that changes annular projection part 32 and this annular projection 32 and corresponding two outstanding 33 each axial inner ends face under the effect of the bias force of elasticity axostylus axostyle 37.It is following distance between the two that the side-play amount T of above-mentioned paper P can be considered as: paper P and each outstanding 33 be the contact point of outermost end (protruding 33b) radially; Contact point with the peripheral surface of paper P and annular projection part 32.In measurement, the paper P of institute's feeding (discharge) has the same mutually papery, and image is recorded on the paper P with identical recording density.The result who measures is presented in the table shown in Figure 9.On the side-play amount T that records (millimeter) basis, calculate the antagonistic force that acts on one outstanding 33 (gf: gram force) (relation between the reacting force of supporting when promptly the skew of the beam that is simply supported and concentrated load act on 2 of beam centre between this beam opposite end) on opposite end according to suitable formula.Figure 10 is a chart, and wherein row has the data that record, and abscissa is represented antagonistic force, and ordinate is then represented side-play amount, with width dimensions W and spacing C as parameter.
Figure 11 is a chart, and wherein row has the data that record, abscissa to represent the width dimensions W of annular projection part 32, and ordinate is represented antagonistic force, with spacing C as parameter.Figure 12 is a chart, wherein row the data that record are arranged, abscissa is represented spacing C, ordinate is then represented antagonistic force, with width dimensions W as parameter.
Can find out significantly that from observed data when spacing C was big, antagonistic force is not big to be changed, and no matter how the width dimensions W of annular projection part 32 changes, all less.On the other hand, spacing C is (promptly smaller or equal to about 1 millimeter time) hour, and antagonistic force increases along with reducing of width dimensions W.In other words, by reducing the width dimensions W of annular projection part 32, can be at spacing C than hour relatively large antagonistic force of acquisition, promptly relatively large centripetal force.And when the width dimensions W of annular projection part 21 surpassed 2.5 millimeters, antagonistic force was less and remain on the less level.
From above-mentioned experimental result, recognize: in above-mentioned layout, diameter is placed on giving prominence between 33 of each outstanding roller 30 less than outstanding middle hub 34 to 33 diameter, exit roller 28 then has the annular projection part 32 that forms between circular groove part 31, corresponding outstanding 33 the radially outer of each outstanding roller 30 can insert in the described circular groove part 31.In this layout, by above-mentioned spacing C being set smaller or equal to 1 millimeter, the width dimensions W that annular projection part 32 perhaps is set is smaller or equal to 2 millimeters, guaranteed following advantage: if used paper P is a plain pape, then paper P may owing to record such as photograph image have the image of high density point the time the ink that is attached on the paper become wet, paper P may stand low elasticity thus, promptly to the out-of-position low resistance.Yet in layout of the present invention, even paper P has stood this low elasticity, the centripetal force that is used for feed paper P when paper P being remained between exit roller 28 and each the outstanding roller 30 can not reduce yet, and makes it possible to the reliability feed paper P with height.Thereby, can avoid occurring striped.
