Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、記録紙等のシートを供給するシート給送装置から送り出されたシートの表裏両面に印刷可能な電子写真印刷装置に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来は、電子写真印刷装置に用紙反転装置を接続し、各々の印刷装置で片面印刷を行い、高速で両面印刷を行っていた。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
電子写真印刷装置を2台接続した場合、第一印刷部の定着機を通過した高温の用紙を第二印刷部で連続印刷を行うと、第二印刷部の感光ドラムの温度が上昇し、感光ドラム、トナー、現像剤に悪影響を及ぼすという問題があった。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題は、第一印刷部と第二印刷部を接続する接続装置内で用紙を冷却し、また、第二印刷部の用紙反転部に用紙冷却機構を備えることによって解決される。
【0005】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に本発明の一実施例を図面を参照して説明する。
【0006】
図1は本発明の電子写真印刷装置の1実施例を示す全体構成図であり、画像形成装置としてレーザプリンタを例示している。
【0007】
図1において、1、2、3はシート給送装置であり、シート給送装置3はシート給送装置1、2に比べシート収納量が多く、レーザプリンタに対して大量にシートを供給することができる。シート給送装置1、2、3は、図1の紙面に対し垂直方向へ引出し可能であり、シート給送装置が所定の装着位置に押し込まれてプリンタ本体に装填されると、図示しない光学センサが各シート給送装置の装填を検出し、図示しない昇降テーブル駆動用ギアと係合し、昇降テーブルに積載された用紙の最上面(昇降テーブル上に用紙が存在しない場合は昇降テーブル上面)が、給紙ローラ20、21、22に当接するまで昇降テーブルの上昇動作が行われる。4、4aは感光ドラムを示し、図示しないコントローラからの信号に基づいて回転を始める。感光ドラム4、4aが回転を開始すると、図示しないコロナ帯電器によって感光ドラム4、4a表面が均一に帯電される。帯電した感光ドラム4、4aには、光学系11、11aにより静電潜像が形成される。静電潜像は図示しない現像装置の位置に到達するとトナーによって現像され、感光ドラム4、4a上にトナー像として可視化される。こうして公知の電子写真プロセスにより形成されたトナー像は転写器5、5aにより用紙トレイ1、2または3から送り出されてきた用紙に転写される。6、6aは定着装置であり、用紙に転写されたトナー像を定着させる。なお、12、12aは搬送される用紙の方向を切り替えるゲート部材である。
【0008】
14、14aは送紙路で、給紙部1、2、3、画像形成手段4、5、6及び4a、5a、6aを連絡する用紙搬送路として設けられている。13、13aは引き込み路を示し、画像形成手段4、5、6及び4a、5a、6aに対し用紙搬送方向下流側の送紙路14、14aから分岐して設けられており、ゲート部材12、12aの切り替えにより定着装置6、6aから送り出されてきた用紙を選択的に引き込む。15、15aは戻し路を示し、引き込み路13、13aの途中から分岐し、その終端を画像形成手段4、5、6及び4a、5a、6aに対し用紙搬送方向上流側の送紙路14、14aに合流させて設けられている。
【0009】
従って、用紙の両面に画像記録を行う場合は、定着装置6、6aから送り出されてきた用紙を引き込み路13、13aへ引き込み、この引き込んだ用紙を戻し路15、15aに送り出すことによって、片面記録済みの用紙を再び画像形成手段に送り込み、これによって両面画像記録が実行される。なお、図において7、8、7a、8aはゲート部材12、12aの前後に設けられた搬送ローラ、9、10、9a、10aは引き込み路13、13a上に設けられた正転/逆転切り替え可能な搬送ローラ、16、16aは引き込み路13、13aに引き込まれた用紙を戻し路15、15aへ案内、あるいは再び送紙路14、14a側へ戻す様に案内するためのゲート部材である。
【0010】
第一印刷部25から出た用紙は、第一印刷部と第二印刷部を繋ぐ接続装置26の用紙搬送路31へ入る。用紙搬送路31の上部にはファンで構成した用紙用紙冷却装置30が設置され、高温になっている用紙に外気を吹き付けて用紙の冷却と用紙搬送路31、32、33の冷却を行う。用紙冷却装置30は、第一印刷部の印刷装置の上部連結部に接続された用紙搬送路の上部に用紙に向かって風を吹き付け、且つ、接続装置26の内部に冷却風が通るように構成している。用紙搬送路31、32、33は略S字形に形成され、その一側は第一印刷部25の印刷装置の上部と連結され、他側は第二印刷部27の印刷装置の下部と連結されている。また、用紙搬送路31、32、33は、厚さ1mm以上の鉄板で構成したペーパガイドを配設している。ペーパガイドの開口面積は用紙搬送路31、32、33全体の30%以下としている。またその長さLSは、第一印刷部25及び第二印刷部27の用紙搬送路長さL1、L2よりも長い搬送路を持ち、用紙搬送時に用紙と接触して用紙が搬送される間に用紙の熱を奪い取る。また搬送路の長さ関係は、(L1+L2)/2<LS<L1+L2になっている。
【0011】
用紙搬送路31、32、33を通過した用紙は、第二印刷部27の用紙搬送路34へ入る。第二印刷部27も第一印刷部25と同様のプロセスで印刷が行われるが、両面画像記録を行う場合は、定着装置6aを通過し用紙が高温になっているため、引き込み路13a上に設けられた正転/逆転切り替え可能な搬送ローラ9a、10aで反転し、用紙を戻し路15aへ向かう間にファンで構成した用紙冷却装置36で用紙に外気を吹き付けて用紙の冷却を行う。またこの時、用紙冷却装置36の風圧で用紙を用紙搬送路35に接触させて、用紙の熱を用紙搬送路35へ逃がす。前記用紙冷却装置30の冷却性能は、用紙冷却装置36の冷却性能よりも高く設定している。
【0012】
【発明の効果】
本発明によれば、第一印刷部で高温になった用紙は接続装置を通過することにより、第二印刷部の感光ドラム手前での用紙温度が、第一印刷部で両面印刷時の感光ドラム手前の用紙温度と同等以下に下げることが出来る。
【図面の簡単な説明】

In FIG. 1, reference numerals 1, 2, and 3 denote sheet feeding devices. The sheet feeding device 3 has a larger sheet storage capacity than the sheet feeding devices 1 and 2, and supplies a large amount of sheets to a laser printer. Can be. The sheet feeding devices 1, 2, and 3 can be pulled out in a direction perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG. 1, and when the sheet feeding device is pushed into a predetermined mounting position and loaded into the printer body, an optical sensor (not shown) Detects the loading of each sheet feeding device, engages with a lifting table driving gear (not shown), and the uppermost surface of the sheets loaded on the lifting table (the upper surface of the lifting table if there is no paper on the lifting table) The lifting operation of the lifting table is performed until it comes into contact with the paper feed rollers 20, 21, and 22. Reference numerals 4 and 4a denote photosensitive drums, which start rotating based on a signal from a controller (not shown). When the photosensitive drums 4 and 4a start rotating, the surfaces of the photosensitive drums 4 and 4a are uniformly charged by a corona charger (not shown). An electrostatic latent image is formed on the charged photosensitive drums 4 and 4a by the optical systems 11 and 11a. When the electrostatic latent image reaches a position of a developing device (not shown), the electrostatic latent image is developed with toner, and is visualized as a toner image on the photosensitive drums 4 and 4a. The toner image formed by the known electrophotographic process is transferred to the sheet sent from the sheet tray 1, 2, or 3 by the transfer units 5, 5a. Reference numerals 6 and 6a denote fixing devices for fixing the toner images transferred to the paper. Reference numerals 12 and 12a denote gate members for switching the direction of the conveyed sheet.
[0008]
Reference numerals 14 and 14a denote paper feed paths, which are provided as sheet transport paths that connect the paper feed units 1, 2, and 3 and the image forming units 4, 5, 6, and 4a, 5a, and 6a. Reference numerals 13 and 13a denote drawing-in paths, which are provided to the image forming means 4, 5, 6 and 4a, 5a and 6a by branching off from the sheet feeding paths 14 and 14a on the downstream side in the sheet conveying direction. The paper sent from the fixing devices 6 and 6a is selectively pulled in by the switching of 12a. Reference numerals 15 and 15a denote return paths, branch off from the middle of the retraction paths 13 and 13a, and terminate the ends thereof with the image forming means 4, 5, 6 and 4a, 5a, and 6a. 14a.
[0009]
Therefore, when image recording is performed on both sides of the sheet, the sheet sent from the fixing devices 6 and 6a is drawn into the drawing paths 13 and 13a, and the drawn sheet is sent to the return paths 15 and 15a to perform single-side recording. The completed sheet is sent again to the image forming means, and thereby double-sided image recording is performed. In the figure, 7, 8, 7a, 8a are transport rollers provided before and after the gate members 12, 12a, and 9, 10, 9a, 10a are switchable between forward and reverse rotation provided on the drawing paths 13, 13a. The transport rollers 16 and 16a are gate members for guiding the paper drawn into the drawing paths 13 and 13a to the return paths 15 and 15a or to return the sheet to the paper feeding paths 14 and 14a again.
[0010]
The paper exiting the first printing unit 25 enters the paper transport path 31 of the connection device 26 that connects the first printing unit and the second printing unit. A paper sheet cooling device 30 composed of a fan is installed above the sheet conveyance path 31, and cools the sheet and cools the sheet conveyance paths 31, 32, and 33 by blowing outside air to the high-temperature sheet. The sheet cooling device 30 is configured to blow air toward the sheet above the sheet transport path connected to the upper connection portion of the printing device of the first printing unit, and to allow cooling air to pass through the inside of the connection device 26. are doing. The paper transport paths 31, 32, and 33 are formed in a substantially S shape, and one side thereof is connected to an upper portion of the printing device of the first printing unit 25, and the other side is connected to a lower portion of the printing device of the second printing unit 27. ing. The paper transport paths 31, 32, and 33 are provided with a paper guide formed of an iron plate having a thickness of 1 mm or more. The opening area of the paper guide is set to 30% or less of the entire paper transport paths 31, 32, and 33. Further, the length LS has a conveyance path longer than the paper conveyance path lengths L1 and L2 of the first printing unit 25 and the second printing unit 27. Take away the heat of the paper. The length relationship of the transport path is (L1 + L2) / 2 <LS <L1 + L2.
[0011]
The paper that has passed through the paper transport paths 31, 32, and 33 enters the paper transport path 34 of the second printing unit 27. The second printing unit 27 also performs printing in the same process as the first printing unit 25, but when performing double-sided image recording, since the paper has passed the fixing device 6a and the temperature of the paper has become high, the printing is performed on the drawing path 13a. The sheet is reversed by transport rollers 9a and 10a provided for switching between normal rotation and reverse rotation, and the sheet is cooled by blowing outside air to the sheet by a sheet cooling device 36 composed of a fan while the sheet goes to the return path 15a. At this time, the paper is brought into contact with the paper transport path 35 by the wind pressure of the paper cooling device 36, and the heat of the paper is released to the paper transport path 35. The cooling performance of the paper cooling device 30 is set higher than that of the paper cooling device 36.
