Description

  The present invention relates to a recording material removing apparatus that removes a recording material that is transferred and recorded on a recording medium and remains on the recording medium, and more particularly, a recording material that is once used for recording characters, images, etc. and remains on the recording medium. The present invention relates to a recording material removing apparatus that enables reuse of a recording medium by removing.

  Although the development of electronic technology in recent years has predicted the arrival of the paperless era, as the number of output machines such as copiers, laser beam printers, and inkjet printers increases, recording media such as copy paper Consumption continues to increase.

  Under such circumstances, the recycling of used paper is flourishing recently, and the used paper separated at the office is recycled through the route of used paper suppliers and paper mills. However, there are cases where problems such as time-consuming reproduction, high cost, and poor paper quality may occur. From this, technology for reusing recording paper used for recording characters, images, etc. has attracted attention. It is coming.

  Conventionally, in an image forming apparatus such as a copying machine, various means are known as means for removing a recording material formed on a recording medium. For example, as a method using a solvent, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1-1101576 discloses a toner dissolved in a solvent by immersing a paper with recording material toner in a soluble solvent of a toner resin and applying ultrasonic vibration. A recording material removing method for releasing the image from the paper surface is disclosed. JP-A-4-300395 discloses a method of immersing, spraying, or applying a solvent to a printed portion of waste paper to dissolve the toner as a recording material, washing the dissolved toner, air suction, There is disclosed a recording material removing method for removing by a method such as adsorbent contact, mechanical peeling or electrostatic adsorption.

  However, in the method of immersing the recording material in a recording material erasure promoting liquid such as a solvent, it is necessary to provide a supply and discharge means for the solvent or to replace it periodically, which may make maintenance difficult. Further, it is necessary to provide a process for drying the recording medium once immersed in the recording material erasure promoting liquid in a short time, which is expected to be disadvantageous in terms of cost and space.

  Furthermore, since this method uses a solvent, it becomes a consumable product, which may increase the regeneration cost. There are also concerns about flammability and toxicity caused by the solvent. Further, after removing the recording material, a process for drying and removing the solvent soaked in the paper is required, the apparatus size is increased, and drying heat energy may be required. As a result, there is a concern about air pollution by dry exhaust gas. Further, once the paper treated with a solvent is dried, the quality of the paper after the reproduction such as paper undulation or fluffing on the surface may be deteriorated.

  On the other hand, as a non-solvent use, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-82883 discloses two rollers provided in parallel to rotate in pressure contact with each other and allow paper to pass through the press contact location, and at least of the two rollers. Disclosed is a recording material removing apparatus comprising a heater for heating one side, a scraping tool for separating the paper that has passed through the pressure contact portion from the roller, and a cleaning device for removing the recording material adhering to the roller from the roller. It's awkward.

  This apparatus is excellent in that it does not use extra consumables and dangerous materials, and does not damage the recording medium unlike mechanical peeling that occurs directly on the recording medium.

  However, in this recording material removing apparatus, when the paper that has passed through the press contact portion is scraped with a scraper that separates from the roller, the recording material that is not solidified causes stringing between the roller and the paper and remains on the paper. A problem occurs.
