Definitions

  • This invention relates to a sheet inverting device which is used when a duplex copy is made in an image forming apparatus and is adapted for inverting and refeeding a sheet such as a copy sheet and, particularly to a sheet inverting device provided with a sheet transport path including in an intermediate portion thereof an inverting path where transport of the sheet is reversed.
  • Image forming apparatuses are in general provided with a function of making duplex copies from duplex documents or from simplex documents as one of image forming functions.
  • a basic duplex copying operation is described briefly below.
  • a sheet such as a copy sheet is fed to an imaging assembly in which an image of one document is formed on a front face of the sheet, and then has its transport reversed in a sheet inverting device so as to invert the sheet.
  • the sheet is refed to the imaging assembly in this state, and an image of a next document is formed on a rear face of the sheet.
  • Figs. 12 to 15 are diagrams showing how the sheet is inverted along the sheet transport path in the sheet inverting device of prior art. Pairs of rollers 11, 12, 14, 15 and a pair of reversing rollers 13 are constantly rotated while the sheet is transported. The reversing rollers 13 are rotatable reciprocally.
  • Fig. 12 shows a state where a sheet P1 is transported from an upstream path A.
  • a switch SW1 by the rollers 11 the reversing rollers 13 are started rotating in the forward direction.
  • Fig. 13 shows a state where a trailing edge of the sheet P1 has reached the switch SW1.
  • a trailing edge of the sheet P1 reaches the switch SW1 while the sheet P1 is carried into an inverting path B by the rollers 11, 12 and the reversing rollers 13 from the state shown in Fig. 12, a timer is started by an unillustrated control unit so as to measure a specified period T1.
  • Fig. 14 shows a state where the sheet P1 is completely carried into the inverting path B. Upon lapse of the period T1 from the state shown in Fig. 13, it is determined that the sheet P1 is completed carried into the inverting path B. Thereupon, the reversing rollers 13 have rotation thereof reversed, and the sheet P1 is carried out of the inverting path B to a downstream path C.
  • Fig. 15 shows a state where the sheet P1 is completely carried out of the inverting path B to the downstream path C.
  • the trailing edge of the sheet P1 passes a junction BT where the inverting path B is connected to the upstream and downstream paths A and C, or reaches a switch SW2, a leading edge of a next sheet P2 reaches the switch SW1.
  • the reversing rollers 13 have rotation thereof reversed so as to rotate in the forward direction as shown in Fig. 12. In this way, the sheets P transported one after another from the upstream path A are sequentially inverted in the inverting path B and fed to the downstream path C.
  • the sheet inverting device of the prior art is constructed such that the next sheet P2 is carried into the inverting path B from the upstream path A by changing the rotation of the reversing rollers 13 to the forward rotation after the sheet P1 is carried out of the inverting path B completely.
  • This construction requires large intervals between two consecutive sheets being transported, thereby presenting the problem of slowing the copying rate. More specifically, let it be assumed that the length of the sheet to be transported is La, and the distance between the switch SW1 and the pair of reversing rollers 13 is L2.
  • the following sheet P2 should be spaced apart from the leading sheet P1 at least by a distance which is a sum of twice the length of the sheet La (the length of transport back and forth of the sheet in the inverting path B) and the length L2.
  • the invention is directed to a sheet inverting device for inverting sheets transported one after another from an upstream path having a first roller pair and transporting the inverted sheets toward a downstream path having a second roller pair
  • the sheet inverting device comprising, inverting path means provided between the upstream path and the downstream path and provided with reversing means, the reversing means including a reversing roller rotatable in opposite directions, a contact member movable between a contact position where it is in contact with the reversing roller and a spaced position where it is away from the reversing roller, and the reversing means being adapted for carrying the sheets into the inverting path means and transporting the sheets from the inverting path means to the second roller pair, the first roller pair arranged along the upstream path and adapted for transporting the sheets from an upstream side to the reversing means, rotation control means for controlling the reversing roller to rotate in a forward direction at least until each sheet is transported to the second roller pair from the in

  • the reversing roller pair 51 shown in Fig. 3 includes a driving roller 13 and a driven roller 131.
  • the driven roller 131 is connected to a pivotal arm 132, and is movable toward and away from the driving roller 13 according to the pivoting movement of the arm 132.
  • the roller 131 is caused to move between a contact position where the roller 131 is in contact with the roller 13 (indicated by solid line in Fig. 1) and a spaced position where the roller 131 is spaced away from the roller 13 (indicated by phantom line in Fig. 1) by means of a third drive device 6 (see Fig. 2) such as a well-known solenoid.

  • the positional relationship between the rollers 12, 14 and the reversing rollers 51 is not limited to the one shown in Fig. 1. These rollers can be arranged in various preferable positions relative to the junction BT in consideration of the construction of the sheet inverting device 50 or the like. For instance, the distance between the rollers 12 and the junction BT may be different from the distance between the rollers 14 and the junction BT. Further, the reversing roller 51 may be arranged in proximity to the junction BT, or may be arranged at a further downstream side of the inverting path 52.

  • the copy sheets are transported one after another at intervals of at least a sum of the length La of the copy sheet and the distance L1 between the junction BT of the inverting path 52 and the switch SW2.
  • Such an interval is set in advance. If this interval is set according the greatest length of the usable copy sheets, the copy sheets can be transported one after another at fixed intervals regardless of the size of the copy sheets, thereby simplifying control for transport of the sheets.
  • Indicated at 4 is a first drive device for driving the feed rollers 393, the registration rollers 44, the transport belt 45, the discharge rollers 47, and other transport means in specified directions.
  • Indicated at 5 is a second drive device for driving the roller 13 to rotate reciprocally in accordance with a signal from the rotation controller 8.

  • copy sheet moving ahead is referred to as a copy sheet P1 while the copy sheet following the copy sheet P1 is referred to as a copy sheet P2 hereafter.
  • Step S2 When the copy switch 2 is turned on in the duplex copy mode, the feed of the copy sheet is started. Then, the driven roller 131 is moved to the spaced position as shown in Fig. 4, and the roller 13 is driven in the forward direction in Step S1. In this state, the copy sheet P1 from the upstream path A is transported to the inverting path 52 by the rollers 11, 12. During this time, the copy sheet P1 passes over the switch SW1, which is kept in the ON state while the sheet P1 is passing thereover (YES in Step S2).
  • Step S8 By driving the roller 13 in the reverse direction, there is started transport of the copy sheet P1 in the inverting path 52 toward the downstream path C.
  • the switch SW2 When the switch SW2 is turned on (YES in Step S8) upon arrival of the leading edge of the copy sheet P1 at the switch SW2 as shown in Fig. 7, it is discriminated whether the copying operation has been completed in Step S9.
  • This discrimination is made by a CPU provided in the image forming apparatus for controlling an image forming operation or the like. This discrimination may be made based on the detection result of the switch SW1 in the case where the next copy sheet P2 is detected by the switch SW1.
  • Step S9 If the next copy sheet is being transported (NO in Step S9), this routine returns to Step S1 in which the driven roller 131 is moved to the spaced position as shown in Fig. 7 and the roller 13 is driven in the forward direction. Accordingly, the copy sheets P1, P2 are transported overlapping each other in the inverting path 52 in the opposite directions as shown in Fig. 8.
  • the driven roller 131 is moved to the contact position and the timer 10 is reset in Step S4 as described above. In this way, the above sequence of operations are repeated while the copy sheets are transported one after another.
  • the drive control by means of the microcomputer 1 is completed.
  • the arrangement is such that the driven roller 131 is moved to the contact position in Step S4 when the trailing edge of the next copy sheet P2 is detected by the switch SW1 (YES in Step S3).
  • the copy sheet is spaced apart from the preceding copy sheet at least by a distance which is a sum of the length of the copy sheet La and the distance L1 (see Fig. 1) between the junction BT of the inverting path 52 and the switch SW2. Accordingly, it may be appropriate to bring the driven roller 131 into contact with the roller 13 when the trailing edge of the copy sheet P1 is detected by the switch SW2 depending upon the positions of the rollers 12, 14 relative to the reversing roller pair 51.
  • the driven roller 131 may be moved to the contact position in the following manner.
  • a passing time required for the copy sheet P1 to pass the switch SW1 is measured.
  • a time is measured in synchronism with the start of the reverse rotation of the roller 13.
  • the driven roller 131 is moved to the contact position when the timer measures the passing time.
  • the position and the state of the copy sheets being transported are confirmed with the use of the switches SW1, SW2.
  • the switches SW1, SW2 there is a fixed positional relationship between the roller pairs 11, 12, 14, 15, the reversing roller pair 51 (the rollers 13 and 131), and the inverting path 52. Accordingly, if the positions of these rollers and path or the distances between them, and a transport speed are input to the microcomputer 1, a transport time can be calculated based on the transport speed and the distance data. If the microcomputer 1 causes the timer 10 to measure the calculated transport time, the operations of the rollers 13 and 131 can be controlled by the timer 10 in place of the switches SW1 and SW2.
  • Fig. 11 is a flow chart showing another sheet transport operation.
  • the feed of the copy sheet is started. Then, it is discriminated whether the leading edge of the copy sheet P2 transported from the upstream path A has reached the junction BT of the inverting path 52 in Step S11. Upon arrival of the leading edge of the copy sheet P2 at the junction BT (YES in Step S11), the driven roller 131 is moved to the spaced position in Step S12. At this time, the trailing edge of the copy sheet P1 transported from the inverting path 52 by the rollers 14 is passing the position of the roller 13 rotating in the reverse direction. However, since the driven roller 131 is spaced away from the roller 13, the copy sheets P1, P2 are transported from and into the inverting path 52 smoothly without being subjected to the force given from the roller 13 even through they are overlapping each other at the position of the roller 13.
  • Step S13 it is discriminated whether the trailing edge of the copy sheet P1 carried out of the inverting path 52 has passed the position of the roller 13 in Step S13.
  • the driven roller 131 is moved to the contact position and the roller 13 is driven in the forward direction in Step S14.
  • the copy sheet P2 transported by the rollers 12 is carried into the inverting path 52 smoothly by the rollers 13 and 131.
  • the roller 13 is driven in the reverse direction so as to transport the copy sheet P1 to the downstream path C in Step S16.
  • Step S17 it is discriminated whether the copying operation has been completed. If the copying operation has been completed, this routine ends. On the other hand, if the copying operation is continued, i.e. a next copy sheet is transported, this routine returns to Step S1 to repeat the similar operation.
  • the pair of reversing rollers 51 are controlled in accordance with the detection signals from the switches SW1, SW2 serving as means for monitoring the positions of sheets being transported. Specifically, the roller 13 is driven in the reverse direction so as to carry the preceding sheet P1 out of the inverting path 52. On the other hand, the roller 13 is driven in the forward direction so as to carry the following sheet P2 coming from the roller pair 12 into the inverting path 52. Further, the driven roller 131 is held in the spaced position away from the roller 13 at least while the preceding sheet P1 transported to the downstream path C by the rollers 14 and the following sheet P2 carried into the inverting path 52 by the rollers 12 overlap each other at the position of the roller 13.
  • the interval between two consecutively transported copy sheets is not required to be greater than a sum of the length of the copy sheets and the distance between the junction BT and the rollers 14 by suitably adjusting the positions of the roller pairs 12, 14 and the reversing roller pair 51 relative to the junction BT. It is sufficient that the leading edge of the preceding copy sheet P1 reaches the roller pair 14 earlier than the leading edge of the following copy sheet P2 reaches the reversing roller pair 51.
  • the roller 13 and the driven roller 131 may be controlled not according to the positional relationship between the preceding and following copy sheets, but according to a transported state of one copy sheet. Specifically, the roller 13 is driven in the forward direction and the driven roller 131 is moved to the contact position immediately before the leading edge of the sheet carried into the inverting path 52 from the roller pair 12 reaches the roller 13. Further, the roller 13 is driven in the reverse direction at least after it is detected that the trailing edge of this sheet carried out of the inverting path 52 has passed the junction BT. The driven roller 131 is moved to the spaced position at least after it is detected that the trailing edge of the sheet carried out of the inverting path 52 has passed the roller 13.
  • the invention is applied to an image forming apparatus in which copy sheets are transported.
  • the invention is also generally applicable to any inverting device for inverting sheet materials other than copy sheets.
