Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a recording apparatus that includes a transport mechanism which supports and transports a recording medium by using a movable belt, and to a recording method for the same.
  • JP-A-2005-219845 discloses an image forming apparatus serving as the recording apparatus, which includes a recording medium supply device serving as the feeding unit.
  • a feeding unit which feeds a recording medium to a movable belt capable of supporting the recording medium, depending on the type and size of the recording medium or environmental conditions
  • an excessive load is applied to a feeding motor which drives the feeding unit.
  • the excessive load is applied to the feeding motor means that an excessive force is applied to the recording medium since the recording medium is pulled to the feeding unit side from a movable belt.
  • the recording medium is damaged or wrinkles are caused to occur thereon. Heat generation or breakdown due to the excessive load applied to the feeding motor can be settled by taking a countermeasure of using a feeding motor which has long durability or which is produced based on high torque specifications.
  • a load sensor is disposed in order to prevent the excessive load from being applied to the motor (the excessive force from being applied to the recording medium). In this manner, if the load sensor detects that the excessive load is applied to the motor, a feedback control is performed by rotating the motor so as to reduce the load.
  • the motor is rotated after the excessive load is applied to the motor. Consequently, in some cases, an advantageous effect cannot be sufficiently obtained when preventing the excessive load from being applied to the motor.
  • the load applied to the motor reaches a peak before the motor is rotated (moment when the force is applied to the motor left in a stopped state). Therefore, even if the motor is rotated after detecting that the excessive load is applied to the motor, the load is repeatedly applied thereto. Then, the load is gradually accumulated in the motor, thereby resulting in a case where the motor becomes hot, for example.
  • the recording apparatus that includes a movable belt capable of supporting a recording medium and a feeding unit which feeds the recording medium to the movable belt, it is insufficient to prevent the excessive load from being applied to the feeding motor of the feeding unit.
  • An advantage of some aspects of the invention is to prevent an excessive load from being applied to a feeding motor which drives a feeding unit, in a recording apparatus that includes a movable belt capable of supporting a recording medium and the feeding unit which feeds the recording medium to the movable belt.
  • a recording apparatus including a transport mechanism that can intermittently move a movable belt capable of supporting a recording medium; a feeding unit that feeds the recording medium left in a stretched state to the movable belt by receiving tension from the recording medium in response to the intermittent movement of the movable belt; and a recording mechanism that performs recording by causing a recording head to reciprocate in a direction which intersects a transport direction of the recording medium.
  • the feeding unit has a feeding motor serving as a drive source and a load sensor of the feeding motor which can detect a load based on the tension.
  • a first load reduction mode for driving the feeding motor is performed so as to feed the recording medium to the movable belt in synchronization with the intermittent movement of the movable belt.
  • the aspect may include a configuration where it is possible "to feed the recording medium to the movable belt in the stretched state of the recording medium". If it is possible to feed the recording medium to the movable belt in the stretched state of the recording medium, the aspect may include a configuration where it is also possible to feed the recording medium to the movable belt in a slack state of the recording medium.
  • the description, “that the recording medium left in a stretched state is fed to the movable belt by receiving tension from the recording medium in response to the intermittent movement of the movable belt” means that the recording medium is fed to the movable belt after the tension from the recording medium is received. That is, in addition to a configuration where the feedback control in the related art can be performed, in a configuration where the force is applied to the recording medium, that is, to a side opposite to a side where the recording medium is fed to the movable belt in the feeding unit (configuration where a so-called back tension is applied), the meaning also includes a configuration where the recording medium is fed by the drive force of the movable belt by releasing the force of the opposite side after the feeding unit receives the tension applied from the recording medium. Furthermore, the meaning also includes a configuration where the recording medium is caused to maintain the stretched state by using the weight of the recording medium itself and the recording medium is fed by mainly using the drive force of the movable belt.
  • the description "that the recording medium is fed to the movable belt in synchronization with the intermittent movement of the movable belt” does not mean that the recording medium is fed after detection, whenever the load sensor detects the load which is equal to or greater than the threshold value, as is in the feedback control in the related art.
  • the description means that if the load sensor detects the load which is equal to or greater than the threshold value, the recording medium is fed in synchronization with the intermittent movement after the movable belt is intermittently moved several times from the second time (that is, subsequent) movement, for example.
  • the load sensor detects the load which is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold value in the intermittent movement of the movable belt, it is possible to feed the recording medium to the movable belt in synchronization with the next intermittent movement of the movable belt. That is, in the next intermittent movement of the movable belt, it is possible to prevent the force from being applied to the feeding motor in a state where the motor is stopped. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the load from being accumulated in the feeding motor due to the repeated intermittent movement of the movable belt.
  • the recording medium may have a roll shape.
  • the feeding unit may feed the roll-shaped recording medium in response to a rotation drive of the feeding motor.
  • the feeding motor In the first load reduction mode, during the intermittent movement of the movable belt, in the recording medium having the largest roll diameter which is supposed to be used, and the recording medium having the smallest roll diameter which is supposed to be used, the feeding motor may be driven under a drive condition where the recording medium maintains the stretched state and the load is smaller than the threshold value.
  • the feeding motor is driven under the drive condition where the recording medium maintains the stretched state. Therefore, even when using the recording medium having any roll diameter which is supposed to be used, it is possible to feed the recording medium in the stretched state of the recording medium.
  • the feeding motor is driven under the drive condition where the load is smaller than the threshold value. Therefore, even when using the recording medium having any roll diameter which is supposed to be used, it is possible to cause the load to be smaller than the threshold value.
  • the "drive condition" means a drive speed of the feeding motor, a rotation angle of the feeding motor and the like.
  • a second load reduction mode for decelerating a movement speed (in other words, reducing the speed) of the movable belt during the intermittent movement of the movable belt may be performed.
  • the second load reduction mode when detecting the load which is equal to or greater than the threshold value even in the first load reduction mode, such as when the roll-shaped recording medium adheres thereto in the roll shape and is unlikely to be fed, it is possible to perform the second load reduction mode during the intermittent movement of the movable belt. That is, it is possible to more effectively prevent the excessive load from being applied to the feeding motor which drives the feeding unit.
  • a third load reduction mode for driving the feeding motor and decelerating the movement speed of the movable belt may be performed so as to feed the recording medium to the movable belt in synchronization with the intermittent movement of the movable belt.
  • a fourth load reduction mode for decelerating an acceleration speed (in other words, reducing the acceleration of the belt) during the intermittent movement of the movable belt may be performed.
  • decelerating the acceleration speed during the intermittent movement of the movable belt means decelerating an acceleration speed in a state where the movable belt is stopped and then is caused to move during the intermittent movement of the movable belt. That is, it does not mean decelerating the maximum speed when the movable belt is moved.
  • the acceleration speed during the intermittent movement of the movable belt is decelerated. Accordingly, it is possible to more effectively prevent the load from being applied to the feeding motor during the intermittent movement. In addition, only the acceleration when the movable belt is moved is reduced and the maximum speed is not reduced. In this manner, it is possible to prevent throughput from being decreased.
  • the movable belt may be an adhesive belt.
  • the adhesive belt (belt having a coated adhesive which holds the recording medium by detachably adhering the recording medium on a surface for setting the recording medium) serving as the movable belt, it is possible to stably support the recording medium. Therefore, it is possible to preferably use the adhesive belt as the movable belt.
  • the recording medium can be stably supported, it is possible to improve the quality of the recorded image.
  • the recording medium firmly adheres to the adhesive belt. Accordingly, there is a tendency to increase the load which is applied to the feeding motor when the movable belt is moved. However, according to the aspect, even in the recording apparatus including the adhesive belt, it is possible to prevent the excessive load from being applied to the feeding motor.
  • a recording method using a recording apparatus which includes a transport mechanism that can intermittently move a movable belt capable of supporting a recording medium; a feeding unit that feeds the recording medium left in a stretched state to the movable belt by receiving tension from the recording medium in response to the intermittent movement of the movable belt; and a recording mechanism that performs recording by causing a recording head to reciprocate in a direction which intersects a transport direction of the recording medium, in which the feeding unit has a feeding motor serving as a drive source and a load sensor of the feeding motor which can detect a load based on the tension.
  • the method includes driving the feeding motor so as to feed the recording medium to the movable belt in synchronization with the intermittent movement of the movable belt, when the load sensor detects the load which is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value.
  • the load sensor detects the load which is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold value in the intermittent movement of the movable belt, it is possible to feed the recording medium to the movable belt in synchronization with the next intermittent movement of the movable belt. That is, in the next intermittent movement of the movable belt, it is possible to prevent the force from being applied to the feeding motor in a state where the motor is stopped. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the load from being accumulated in the feeding motor due to the repeated intermittent movement of the movable belt.

  • step S210 when it is determined that the load L is equal to or greater than the threshold value T1, the process proceeds to step S220 to raise a flag for performing the fourth load reduction mode in the intermittent movement of the adhesive belt 10 from the second time movement.
  • the control unit 20 controls the drive of the belt motor 27 so as to reduce the acceleration of the adhesive belt 10 during the intermittent movement.
  • the fourth load reduction mode is performed after the first to third load reduction modes are performed.
  • the recording method may be configured so that the fourth load reduction mode is performed together with one or more of the first to third load reduction modes being performed.
  • step S210 when it is determined that the load L is smaller than the threshold value T1, the process returns to step S200.
  • step S230 it is determined whether or not the recording is completed, and the recording is performed in the fourth load reduction mode until it is determined that the recording is completed.
