With shown in Figure 1 to spray traditional ink gun 1 of China ink to paper P when moving back and forth on main scanning direction M different, the ink gun 30 of this exemplary embodiment is included in length on the main scanning direction M corresponding to the nozzle unit 31 of the width of paper P.The example of nozzle unit 31 is shown in Figure 5.
Fig. 5 is the schematic diagram according to the nozzle unit of the embodiment of the invention.With reference to Fig. 5, a plurality of nozzles 32 that tilt with respect to main scanning direction M are arranged on the main scanning direction M.Between the adjacent column 33 of nozzle 32 on main scanning direction M is tolerance to the resolution ratio of ink gun 30 at interval.Though it is not shown, but ink gun 30 also comprise storage China ink print cartridge, have is communicated with each nozzle 32 and provide spray black pressure injection unit (for example, piezoelectric element or heater) chamber, fluid path or the like, China ink is fed to chamber by fluid path from print cartridge.Because chamber, injection unit, fluid path etc. are that those skilled in the art is known, so do not provide its detailed explanation.Nozzle unit 31 shown in Figure 5 is an example just, and scope of the present invention is not limited to the shape and the structure of nozzle unit shown in Figure 5 31.
Refer again to Fig. 2, the contact-type imageing sensor (CIS) or the charge-coupled device (CCD) of input picture can be used as scanning element 40 line by line.Because structure and the operation principle of CIS and CCD are that those skilled in the art is known, so do not provide its detailed explanation.
The back side of platen 20 supporting paper P, and keep the end face of paper P and the distance between the nozzle unit 31.In exemplary embodiment of the present invention, this distance can be at about 0.5mm in the scope of about 2.5mm.In order to keep this distance during printing, image input/output apparatus can comprise that also the back side to paper P provides the negative pressure of negative pressure that the unit is provided.For example, this negative pressure airport 21 that is formed in the platen 20 that provides the unit to comprise and the fan 22 that is arranged on platen 20 belows.This fan 22 leaves platen 20 by airport 21 suction airs shown in Figure 2 to prevent paper P.Though not shown, in other embodiments of the invention, all can be used as negative pressure such as the various devices of vacuum suction apparatus provides the unit.
The paper feeding cassette 80 that is mounted with paper P on it is arranged on the below of platen 20, as shown in Figure 2, and forms the paper feed path of C shape generally.This structure can reduce the area occupied (foot-print) of image input/output apparatus.For non-standard paper P is directly supplied to feed unit 60, also multi-purpose disk 82 can be set.Paper feeding cassette 80 can also be as shown in Figure 3 the form of storage bucket (bin) be installed in the sidepiece of image input/output apparatus, and form L shaped paper feed path generally.Fig. 3 is the cross-sectional view of image input/output apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention.This structure can obtain very thin image input/output apparatus.
As shown in Figure 4, image input/output module 50 moves on sub scanning direction S.With reference to Fig. 4, image input/output module 50 is installed on the carriage 90.Carriage 90 is by axle (or director element) 91 supportings that are installed on the sub scanning direction S.Carriage 90 is connected to the synchronous band (timing belt) (or line (wire)) 93 that turns round under the effect of motor 92.In this structure, by making motor 92 forwards and reverse rotation, image input/output module 50 can move back and forth on sub scanning direction S.
Scanning element 40 and ink gun 30 also can be installed on the carriage 90.Perhaps, in another embodiment of the present invention, ink gun 30 can be installed on the carriage 90, and scanning element 40 can be couple to ink gun 30.In another embodiment of the present invention, ink gun 30 and scanning element 40 can form integral body mutually.If ink gun 30 and scanning element 40 form integral body mutually, then they can more shared parts, for example are used to provide the cable (not shown) that is electrically connected to the control module (not shown) and the framework (not shown) of definite image input/output module 50 outward appearances.In addition, in another embodiment of the present invention, scanning element 40 and ink gun 30 can directly be supported by axle 91 under the situation that does not have carriage 90.
The method of use by the image input/output apparatus input and output image of above-mentioned structure will be described now in further detail.
Refer again to Fig. 2 and 4, if type information with importing from the print signal of main frame (not shown), then pick-up roller 81 picks up paper P from paper feeding cassette 80, and it is supplied to feed unit 60.Feed unit 60 pull-up paper P also are carried on it on platen 20.When the front-end and back-end of paper P are inserted in deliverying unit 70 and the feed unit 60 to a certain degree respectively, perhaps when the rear end of paper P was inserted in the feed unit 60 to a certain degree before the front end of paper P arrives deliverying unit 70, perhaps even when the front end of paper P be inserted in the deliverying unit 70 to a certain degree and the rear end of paper P when separating with feed unit 60, paper P is made to keep a preset distance between paper P and nozzle unit 31 by platen 20 supportings.If motor 92 normally rotates, that is, be rotated in the forward, then image input/output module 50 moves on sub scanning direction S.Ink gun 30 sprays China ink with print image to paper P.When printing was finished, paper P was discharged by deliverying unit 70.If motor 92 then reverses, that is, reverse rotation, then image input/output module 50 turns back to its home position.Perhaps, in printing, feed unit 60 can be supplied with paper P to deliverying unit 70, and ink gun 30 can be in its fixed position, and sprays China ink with print image to paper P.
For from file D reading images information, file D is carried on the file supporting member 10, and closed file lid 11.If the image load button 84 on user's push panel 83, or by main frame (not shown) transmission image input command, then motor 92 normally rotates, thereby image input/output module 50 is moved on sub scanning direction S.Scanning element 40 can be to file D emission light, the optical signal of detection of reflected, and the image information of reading and recording on file D.Image information can be transferred to the memory device (not shown) of main frame.When scanning was finished, if motor 92 reversings, then image input/output module 50 turned back to its home position.
For hard-copy file D, file D is carried on the file supporting member 10, and closed file lid 11.If the copy button 85 on user's push panel 83, or send to duplicate order by main frame, then paper P is picked up from paper feeding cassette 80 by pick-up roller 81, and by feed unit 60 pull-ups and be carried on the platen 20.When the front-end and back-end of paper P are inserted in deliverying unit 70 and the feed unit 60 to a certain degree respectively, perhaps when the rear end of paper P was inserted in the feed unit 60 to a certain degree before the front end of paper P arrives deliverying unit 70, perhaps even when the front end of paper P be inserted in the deliverying unit 70 to a certain degree and the rear end of paper P when separating, wait for and print beginning and can carry out printing with feed unit 60.If motor 92 normally rotates, then image input/output module 50 moves on sub scanning direction S.Scanning element 40 can be to file D emission light, the optical signal of detection of reflected, and reading and recording on file D image information row (aline of image information) or comprise the image information band (a band of image information) of multirow.Use the image processor (not shown) to convert image information to type information, and then be input to ink gun 30.Ink gun 30 sprays China ink according to type information, with print image on paper P.
Because it almost is real-time that image processor converts image information to type information, therefore scanning and printing are carried out simultaneously, and the gap of a row or a band is arranged therebetween.Therefore, can carry out almost real-time duplicating.Thereby the exemplary embodiment of image input/output apparatus only needs to store the buffer memory of the image information of a delegation at least or a band.Therefore, compare with traditional image input/output apparatus, can realize more cheap image input/output apparatus, wherein file has identical path with paper.
When carrying out scanning and/or copying operation, only scanning element 40 is moved on sub scanning direction S, and file D stops.Therefore, compare with the traditional images input/output device that scanning element 40 is moved simultaneously, can carry out more accurate scanning with file D.
Usually, adopt the imaging device of array ink jet head 30 to be configured to, ink gun 30 is fixing, and paper P moves on sub scanning direction S.In order to use imaging device to carry out flat-bed scanning (flatbedscanning), scanning element 40 should preferably be moved on sub scanning direction S.In addition, because the motor (not shown) that is used to make the motor 92 of scanning element 40 motions and is used to supply with paper P should be activated simultaneously to carry out and duplicate, so imaging device should preferably accurately be controlled two motors, thereby has increased the control burden of control module (not shown).In addition, the vibration that motor produces during paper P supplies with can influence scanning, thereby makes the scanning accuracy variation.
The image input/output apparatus of exemplary embodiment of the present moves ink gun 30 and scanning element 40 in an identical manner on sub scanning direction S, and does not supply with paper P during the duplicating process.Therefore, only need to control the motor 92 that is used to make ink gun 30 and scanning element 40 motions, thereby reduced the control burden of control module.In addition, vibrate lowlyer, thereby can obtain accurate scanning.
Usually, the supply precision of paper P is less than the supply precision of ink gun 30.Because paper P supplies with because of the friction between donor rollers 61, deflector roll 62 and the paper P, therefore may slide.Because ink gun 30 moves under the effect of point-device synchronous band (or line) 93 and guided by axle 91, so ink gun 30 can split-hair mode move.Because when ink gun 30 moves on sub scanning direction S, print image on paper P, therefore the example images input/output device of present embodiment can be guaranteed the print quality higher than conventional apparatus, and ink gun 30 is fixing in conventional apparatus, and paper P supplies with on sub scanning direction S.In addition, because ink gun 30 with scanning element 40 motion, does not therefore need to be used to independent unit that ink gun 30 is moved on sub scanning direction S.
If adopt the buffer memory that can store corresponding to the image information of one page, then scanning process and print procedure are separable, with further raising scanning and print quality.Particularly, when image input/output module 50 moved on sub scanning direction S, image information read and then is stored in the buffer memory from the front end of file D.When the scanning of file D rear end is finished, use image processor to convert the image information of input to type information.Then, image input/output module 50 with the side of scan period in the opposite direction in the motion, according to type information print image on paper P.Yet, to rear end reading images information the time, can use image processor input image information to be converted to the print image that is used to print from the front end of file D.In this mode, though scanning process is separated with print procedure, the duplicating process can be finished by the once reciprocating motion of image input/output module 50, thereby has prevented lower copying speed.
Image input/output module 50 can return its home position after scanning is finished, and then moves on sub scanning direction S once more, with print image on paper P.In addition, image input/output module 50 can place a position after scanning is finished, optional position between a position, its home position or the above-mentioned two positions after for example scanning, and then paper P can be in motion on the sub scanning direction S with print image on paper P.
Display unit (not shown) such as liquid crystal display also can be arranged on the guidance panel 83, with the mode of operation of display image input/output device.The user can come the mode of operation of recognition image input/output device from the information that display unit shows, for example, whether which kind of operation (comprising printing, scanning and copying operation) is being carried out or operated is finished.
As mentioned above, the method according to image input/output module, image input/output apparatus and the input and output image of the embodiment of the invention has following advantage at least.
At first, can realize almost to duplicate the image input/output apparatus of information in real time.Can under the situation of the little buffer memory that only needs to store an image information row or an image information band, carry out owing to duplicate, so can realize the image input/output apparatus of cheapness.
The second, because ink gun and scanning element are moved on sub scanning direction when duplicating, and paper does not move, and bears so reduced the control of control module.In addition, because the vibration that produces is lower, so can scan accurately.
The 3rd, image can be printed on the paper when accurately moving on sub scanning direction owing to ink gun, so compare with the conventional method that paper is supplied with on sub scanning direction, can guarantee higher print quality.
The 4th, if adopt the buffer memory that can store corresponding to the image information of one page, then by separately scanning and print procedure can further improve scanning and print quality.
The 5th, according to the position of paper feeding cassette, can realize the very thin dull and stereotyped image input/output apparatus of minimum area occupied design.
Though specifically illustrate and described the present invention in conjunction with exemplary embodiment of the present invention, but those of ordinary skill in the art will understand, under the condition that does not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention that are defined by the following claims, can make on the various forms and details on change.
