Description

本発明は、搬送された帯状の印字媒体を切断するカッタの用紙ガイドに関する。   The present invention relates to a paper guide for a cutter that cuts a conveyed belt-like print medium.

従来から、例えば図3に示すような帯状の印字媒体に印字を施し、この印字媒体を所定位置で切断するカッタを設けたラベルプリンタが知られている。   2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been known a label printer provided with a cutter that performs printing on a belt-shaped print medium as shown in FIG. 3, for example, and cuts the print medium at a predetermined position.

ラベルプリンタ10は、主に、給紙軸2、印字機構8としてのサーマルヘッド4及びプラテンローラ5、センサ6、ガイドピン7、搬送路14を備えるプリンタ本体20と、このプリンタ本体20に対して取付けられるカッタ9とから構成される。   The label printer 10 mainly includes a printer main body 20 including a paper feed shaft 2, a thermal head 4 as a printing mechanism 8 and a platen roller 5, a sensor 6, guide pins 7, and a conveyance path 14, and the printer main body 20. And a cutter 9 to be attached.

このラベルプリンタ10には、帯状の印字媒体3を使用する。この印字媒体3の裏面(プラテンローラ接触面)には、表面(サーマルヘッド接触面)の印字範囲に見合う送りピッチ検出用の検出マーク(図示せず)が施されている。   The label printer 10 uses a strip-shaped print medium 3. The back surface (platen roller contact surface) of the print medium 3 is provided with a detection mark (not shown) for detecting a feed pitch corresponding to the print range of the front surface (thermal head contact surface).

前記プリンタ本体20の給紙軸2に装着された前記印字媒体3は、ガイドピン7を経てサーマルヘッド4及びプラテンローラ5の間に挟持され、カッタ9側へと搬送される。   The print medium 3 mounted on the paper feed shaft 2 of the printer main body 20 is sandwiched between the thermal head 4 and the platen roller 5 through the guide pins 7 and conveyed to the cutter 9 side.

カッタ9は、固定刃12と、この固定刃12に対し駆動手段(図示せず)によって進退動自在に配設される可動刃13とを備えるギロチン式のものであり、このカッタ9にて前記プリンタ本体20から繰り出される印字媒体3を所定ピッチに切断する。すなわち、給紙軸2から引き出されてサーマルヘッド4及びプラテンローラ5の間に挟持された印字媒体3は、プラテンローラ5の回転によりカッタ9側へと繰り出されるが、印字機構8と給紙軸2の間に形成された搬送路14に配設されたセンサ6によって印字媒体3の前記検出マークが検出され、この検出マークのピッチと同期をとって前記カッタ9の駆動手段が作動して可動刃13を固定刃12に対して進出し、固定刃12と可動刃13とを交差することにより前記印字媒体3が所定ピッチで切断されるものである。   The cutter 9 is of a guillotine type including a fixed blade 12 and a movable blade 13 that can be moved forward and backward with respect to the fixed blade 12 by driving means (not shown). The print medium 3 fed out from the printer body 20 is cut at a predetermined pitch. That is, the print medium 3 pulled out from the paper feed shaft 2 and sandwiched between the thermal head 4 and the platen roller 5 is fed out toward the cutter 9 by the rotation of the platen roller 5. The detection mark of the print medium 3 is detected by the sensor 6 disposed in the conveyance path 14 formed between the two, and the driving means of the cutter 9 is operated in synchronization with the pitch of the detection mark. The printing medium 3 is cut at a predetermined pitch by advancing the blade 13 relative to the fixed blade 12 and intersecting the fixed blade 12 and the movable blade 13.

又、上記カッタ9には、印字媒体3の搬送方向上流側に用紙ガイド15が設けられている。該用紙ガイド15は上下一対の上側のガイド部材16と下側のガイド部材17とから構成されており、上側のガイド部材16は前記固定刃12にネジ止め固定されており、下側のガイド部材17はカッタ9のフレーム部材(図示せず)に固定されており、これらのガイド部材16、17とにより印字媒体3をカッタ9へ案内する。     Further, the cutter 9 is provided with a paper guide 15 on the upstream side in the transport direction of the print medium 3. The sheet guide 15 includes a pair of upper and lower upper guide members 16 and a lower guide member 17. The upper guide member 16 is fixed to the fixed blade 12 with screws, and the lower guide member 16. 17 is fixed to a frame member (not shown) of the cutter 9, and the guide medium 16 and 17 guide the print medium 3 to the cutter 9.

ところで、こうしたカッタ9をプリンタ本体20に装着したラベルプリンタ10において、前記プリンタ本体20の給紙軸2に装着された前記印字媒体3は、ガイドピン7、搬送路14を経て印字機構8のサーマルヘッド4及びプラテンローラ5の間に挟持され、印字が施された後にカッタ9側へ搬送されるが、この搬送及び印字の工程で記録媒体3には静電気が帯びる。   By the way, in the label printer 10 in which such a cutter 9 is mounted on the printer main body 20, the print medium 3 mounted on the paper feed shaft 2 of the printer main body 20 passes through the guide pins 7 and the conveyance path 14, and the thermal of the printing mechanism 8. The sheet is sandwiched between the head 4 and the platen roller 5 and printed, and then conveyed to the cutter 9 side. The recording medium 3 is charged with static electricity in this conveyance and printing process.

そこで、静電気を帯びた状態の印字媒体3が所定ピッチにカッタ9で切断されると、プリンタ本体20の印字媒体排出口18から排出されずにプリンタ本体20の内部でジャムったり、又、印字媒体排出口18近傍の外装カバーに貼り付いたり、切断後の印字媒体3がラベルプリンタ10の外部へ排出されないという排出障害のおこる場合がある。   Therefore, when the electrostatically charged print medium 3 is cut by the cutter 9 at a predetermined pitch, the print medium 3 is not discharged from the print medium discharge port 18 of the printer main body 20 and jammed inside the printer main body 20 or printing is performed. There is a case in which a discharge failure may occur in which the print medium 3 after being attached to an exterior cover near the medium discharge port 18 is not discharged to the outside of the label printer 10.
