Description

  The present invention relates to a lid of a recording apparatus including a recording execution unit capable of executing recording on a recording material, and a recording apparatus including the lid.

  Inkjet printers, laser printers, thermal transfer printers, and the like are known as recording apparatuses having a recording execution unit capable of executing recording on a recording material. These general recording apparatuses are classified by a system for feeding a recording material to a recording execution means inside the recording apparatus, and a system for mounting a box-shaped feeding cassette containing the recording material on the recording apparatus. This can be broadly classified into a system in which a recording material is placed as it is on a feeding tray (manual feed tray or the like) provided in the recording apparatus.

  A recording apparatus using a feeding cassette (see, for example, Patent Document 1) protects recording materials from ultraviolet rays, dust, and the like in a state where the recording material is accommodated in the feeding cassette. Although there is an advantage that it is not necessary to take out the recording material even when it is not used for a period, it is difficult to downsize the entire recording apparatus because of the structure. On the other hand, the recording apparatus of the type in which the recording material is directly placed on the feeding tray has an advantage that it can be easily reduced in size because there is no feeding cassette, but is placed on the feeding tray. Since the recorded material is exposed to ultraviolet rays, dust, and the like, it is necessary to take out the recorded material from the feeding tray and store it in a storage bag or the like when the recording apparatus is not used for a long period of time.

  By the way, in recent years, small and high-performance color printers for mobile applications that are small and easy to carry and can be driven by a battery are becoming widespread. In such a small recording apparatus, from the viewpoint of realizing a smaller and lighter recording apparatus, there is a difference in a system in which a recording material is directly placed on a feeding tray than a feeding cassette system. It can be said.

  However, a small-sized recording apparatus that employs a system in which a recording material is placed on a feeding tray as it is must carry the recording apparatus and the recording material separately when carrying them. In addition to being bothersome, there is a risk of forgetting to hold the recording material. In addition, the user may forget the storage location of the recording material, or the recording material may be lost. In addition, commercially available storage bags for general recording materials are often bags made of thin vinyl, paper, etc., so that the recording materials may be warped or bent during carrying or storage, There is a risk of the recording material being damaged.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and the problem thereof is that it is possible to reduce the risk of forgetting to carry a recording material, forgetting the storage location, loss, etc., and during carrying and storage. It is an object of the present invention to provide a recording apparatus capable of preventing the recording material from being warped or bent or the recording material from being damaged.

On the upper surface of the printer main body 1, a feeding opening 2 as an “opening” and an operation panel 4 for supplying recording paper P as “recording material” to a “recording execution unit” are provided. . The operation panel 4 is provided with operation buttons and a liquid crystal display (not shown). The printer cover 10 is rotatably supported by the printer body 1 with the rotation shaft 111 engaged with the bearing portion 5 of the printer body 1.

  The printer cover 10 is closed at the “first rotation position” (FIG. 1) and covers the upper surface of the printer main body 1. When the inkjet printer 50 is being carried or not used for a long time, the operation panel 4 is protected by closing the printer cover 10, and dust or foreign matter may enter from the feeding opening 2. Is prevented. On the other hand, the printer cover 10 is opened at the “second rotation position” rotated in the direction indicated by the symbol B (FIG. 2), and the recording paper P is moved from the feeding opening 2 to the “recording”. A “recording material placement surface” that can be placed in a state that can be supplied to the “execution means” is configured. That is, the opened printer cover 10 functions as a feeding tray (FIG. 3). Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a feeding tray or the like separately from the printer cover 10 in the ink jet printer 50, so that the ink jet printer 50 can be further downsized.

  The ink jet printer 50 includes a conveyance driving roller 51, a conveyance driven roller 52, a platen 53, a discharge driving roller 54, a discharge driven roller 55, a carriage 61, and a recording head 62 as “recording execution means” for executing recording on the recording paper P. It is provided in the printer main body 1 (FIG. 4). Further, the ink jet printer 50 includes a placement unit 71, an edge guide 72, a feeding roller 73, and a retarder that constitute an “automatic feeding device” that automatically feeds the recording paper P one by one toward the “recording execution unit”. A roller 74 is provided (FIG. 4).

  The placement portion 71 is disposed at a position facing the feeding opening 2. A known edge guide 72 is disposed on the placement portion 71 so as to be slidable in the width direction X of the recording paper P, and defines the placement position of the recording paper P in the width direction X according to the size of the recording paper P. can do. The recording paper P placed on the opened printer cover 10 is pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the feeding roller 73 by a hopper (not shown), and is driven to the transport driving roller 51 by the driving rotation of the feeding roller 73. It is sent toward. At this time, the other recording paper P is separated from the uppermost recording paper P by the known driven rotational resistance of the retard roller 74, and the double feeding of the recording paper P is prevented.

  The recording paper P fed by the driving rotation of the feeding roller 73 is sandwiched between the transport driving roller 51 and the transport driven roller 52, and the platen with a predetermined transport amount in the transport direction Y by the driving rotation of the transport driving roller 51. 53 is conveyed. A recording head 62 is disposed at the bottom of the carriage 61. The carriage 61 moves in a direction (width direction X) substantially orthogonal to the transport direction Y while maintaining a state where the head surface of the recording head 62 and the recording surface of the recording paper P on the platen 53 are substantially parallel and at a constant interval. It is supported so that it can reciprocate.

  The recording paper P conveyed on the platen 53 ejects ink from the head surface of the recording head 62 to the recording surface of the recording paper P while the carriage 61 reciprocates in a direction (width direction X) substantially orthogonal to the conveyance direction Y. Recording on the recording surface is executed by alternately repeating the operation of carrying out the recording paper P by the predetermined conveyance amount in the conveyance direction Y by the driving rotation of the conveyance driving roller 51. The recording paper P after ink ejection is sandwiched between the discharge drive roller 54 and the discharge driven roller 55, and is conveyed in the conveyance direction Y by the drive rotation of the discharge drive roller 54, and the recording paper P after execution of recording is in an open state Are discharged onto the discharge tray 3.

<Configuration of printer cover>
Next, the configuration of the printer cover 10 as a “lid” according to the present invention will be described.

FIG. 5 is an external perspective view of the inkjet printer 50, and illustrates a state in which the inner lid 12 as the “opening / closing portion” of the printer cover 10 is opened.
FIG. 6 is an external perspective view of the ink jet printer 50 and illustrates a state in which a plurality of recording papers P are placed on the clamping surface 131 of the clamping plate 13 with the inner lid 12 of the printer cover 10 opened. FIG. 7 is a side view thereof. In FIG. 7, only the cover main body 11 is shown in cross section for easier understanding of the invention.
The printer cover 10 includes a cover body 11, an inner lid 12, a clamping plate 13, and two leaf springs 14. The cover body 11 is rotatably supported by the printer body 1 with the rotation shaft 111 engaged with the bearing portion 5 of the printer body 1. The inner lid 12 is pivotally supported by the cover body 11 so as to be rotatable about a rotation shaft 16. The sandwiching plate 13 as the “recording material sandwiching means” has shafts provided on both sides of the sandwiching plate 13 in the long holes 151 provided in the side wall surface 15 formed in the inner wall surface 112 of the cover body 11. The part 133 is disposed in an engaged state. That is, the sandwiching plate 13 is pivotally supported so as to be able to swing in the direction indicated by the symbol E (FIG. 7) with the shaft portion 133 as the swing center, and is also indicated by the symbol F (FIG. 7) along the long hole 151. It is supported so that it can be displaced in the indicated direction. The clamping plate 13 has a clamping surface 131 on the surface facing the inner lid 12.

  A leaf spring 14 as an “urging means” of the sandwiching plate 13 is disposed between the inner wall surface 112 of the cover body 11 and the sandwiching plate 13. The clamping plate 13 is urged in the direction indicated by the symbol D (FIG. 7) toward the inner lid 12 by the spring force of the leaf spring 14. The “urging means” of the sandwiching plate 13 is not particularly limited to the leaf spring 14 and can be urged in the direction indicated by the symbol D (FIG. 7) toward the inner lid 12 side. Any biasing means may be used as long as it is biasing means. For example, the biasing means may be configured by using an elastic body such as a rubber material in addition to springs such as a bar spring and a torsion coil spring.

  The printer cover 10 is provided with an “accommodating portion” configured to stack and accommodate a plurality of recording papers P that are configured inside when the inner lid 12 is closed. The “accommodating portion” is a substantially sealed space that can accommodate a plurality of recording papers P. When the inner lid 12 is closed (the state illustrated in FIG. 2), the inner wall surface 112 and the side wall portion of the cover main body 11. 15 and an inner wall surface 121 and a side wall portion 122 of the inner lid 12. Further, by rotating the inner lid 12 in the direction indicated by the reference symbol C so as to be opened, the recording paper P can be taken into and out of the printer cover 10 as shown in FIG. FIG. 7). The concave notch 132 provided in the sandwiching plate 13 (FIG. 5) is for making it easier for the user to put in and out the recording paper P.

  As described above, the ink jet printer 50 is provided with the “accommodating portion” in which a plurality of recording papers P can be stacked and accommodated inside the printer cover 10, so that the recording paper P can be accommodated and carried. . That is, since the inkjet printer 50 and the recording paper P can be carried together, the risk of forgetting to carry the recording paper P when carrying can be reduced, and the storage location of the recording paper P can be forgotten or recorded. The risk of losing the paper P can be reduced.

  Further, since the recording paper P is protected in the state of being accommodated in the “accommodating portion” of the printer cover 10, the recording paper P is protected from ultraviolet rays, dust, and the like, and the recording paper P is bent or damaged. Can be prevented. Since the printer cover 10 of the ink jet printer 50 is used as the “accommodating portion” of the recording paper P, the “accommodating portion” of the recording paper P can be provided in the ink jet printer 50 without increasing the size of the ink jet printer 50. .

FIG. 8 is a side view showing a state in which the recording paper P is accommodated in the printer cover 10 and the inner lid 12 is closed. In FIG. 8, the cover main body 11 and the inner lid 12 are shown in cross section for easier understanding of the invention.
As shown in the figure, the printer cover 10 is rotated in the direction indicated by the symbol G and the inner lid 12 is closed, so that the recording paper P accommodated in the “accommodating portion” is the inner wall surface of the inner lid 12. It is in a state of being sandwiched between 121 and the sandwiching surface 131 of the sandwiching plate 13. More specifically, the clamping plate 13 in a state in which the inner lid 12 is closed is pressed against the recording paper P by the spring force of the leaf spring 14 (reference numeral D) so that the recording paper P comes into surface contact. While oscillating in the direction indicated by symbol E, it is displaced in the direction indicated by symbol F. As a result, the recording paper P accommodated in the “accommodating portion” is held in surface contact with the inner wall surface 121 of the inner lid 12 and the clamping surface 131 of the clamping plate 13.

  Thus, since the recording paper P accommodated in the “accommodating portion” of the printer cover 10 is clamped, the warping of the recording paper P due to changes in ambient temperature, humidity, etc. occurs due to the clamping pressure. This can be prevented, and the recording paper P already warped can be straightened. Further, the recording paper P accommodated in the “accommodating portion” is sandwiched between the inner wall surface 121 of the inner lid 12 and in contact with the inner wall surface 121 of the inner lid 12 and the sandwiching surface 131 of the sandwiching plate 13. It is clamped by the clamping surface 131 of the plate 13. As a result, a clamping pressure acts on the entire front and back surfaces of the recording paper P, so that a clamping pressure that prevents or corrects the warping can be applied to almost the entire recording paper P.

  Further, when vibration or impact is applied during the movement of the ink jet printer 50 or the like, the end of the recording paper P in the “accommodating portion” collides with the side wall 15 of the cover body 11 and is bent, or the recording paper P It is also possible to prevent the recording surface from being scratched and scratched. A soft elastic body such as sponge is preferably attached to the inner wall surface 121 of the inner lid 12 or the clamping surface 131 of the clamping plate 13 on the side corresponding to the surface (recording surface) of the recording paper P. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the surface (recording surface) of the recording paper P being sandwiched from being damaged by the fine unevenness of the inner wall surface 121 of the inner lid 12 or the sandwiching surface 131 of the sandwiching plate 13. Can do.

  Further, since the sandwiching plate 13 is disposed so as to be displaceable in the direction indicated by the symbol F with respect to the inner wall surface 121 of the inner lid 12, a leaf spring is provided according to the quantity and thickness of the recording paper P accommodated. The recording paper P of the “accommodating portion” can be held between the inner wall surface 121 of the inner lid 12 while being displaced by the spring force of 14. Accordingly, the recording paper P in the “accommodating portion” can be held regardless of the quantity or the like. In addition, when the inner lid 12 is closed, the long hole 151 is formed so as to intersect the inner wall surface 121, so that even when only one sheet of recording paper P is included in the “accommodating portion”, the inner lid 12 It can be held between the wall surface 121.

  Furthermore, the inner wall surface 121 of the inner lid 12 is a concave surface, and the clamping surface 131 of the clamping plate 13 is a convex surface having substantially the same shape corresponding to the concave shape of the inner wall surface 121 of the inner lid 12 (see FIG. Not shown). As a result, the recording paper P sandwiched between the inner wall surface 121 of the inner lid 12 and the sandwiching surface 131 of the sandwiching plate 13 is sandwiched while being warped along the concave and convex surfaces. That is, it is possible to positively impart a certain warp to the recording paper P while sandwiching the recording paper P. Therefore, for example, a warp in a direction in which the recording paper P transported by the rotation of the transport driving roller 51 is difficult to come into contact with the recording head 62 is positively imparted to the recording paper P in advance. It is possible to more reliably prevent so-called head rubbing or the like from occurring when recording is performed.

  More specifically, for example, it is preferable to give a warp so that the recording surface facing the head surface of the recording head 62 becomes a convex surface. By giving such a convex warp, the recording paper P is sandwiched between the transport driving roller 51 and the transport driven roller 52 and transported in the transport direction Y on the platen 53. Until the leading end reaches the nipping point between the discharge driving roller 54 and the discharge driven roller 55, the leading end in the transport direction Y is transported while being slidably contacted with the platen 53. As a result, it is possible to prevent the vicinity of the leading end of the recording paper P from being lifted, so that the vicinity of the leading end of the recording paper P can be prevented from coming into contact with the head surface of the recording head 62.

  Further, when the recording paper P having a convex warpage is sandwiched between the discharge driving roller 54 and the discharge driven roller 55 and conveyed on the platen 53 in the conveyance direction Y, the trailing edge of the conveyance direction Y is conveyed. After passing through the nipping point between the driving roller 51 and the transport driven roller 52, it is transported while being slidably contacted so that the rear end of the transport direction Y is pressed against the platen 53. As a result, it is possible to prevent the vicinity of the rear end of the recording paper P from being lifted, so that the vicinity of the rear end of the recording paper P can also be prevented from coming into contact with the head surface of the recording head 62.

  Needless to say, the same effect can be obtained when the inner wall surface 121 of the inner lid 12 is a convex surface and the sandwiching surface 131 of the sandwiching plate 13 is a concave surface having substantially the same shape corresponding to the convex shape of the inner wall surface 121 of the inner lid 12. Yes.

  As described above, according to the printer cover 10 of the present invention, the inkjet printer 50 can reduce the risk of forgetting to carry the recording paper P, forgetting the storage location, or losing it, and is being carried or stored. It is possible to prevent the recording paper P from being warped or bent, or the recording paper P from being damaged.

  Further, in the printer cover 10 according to the present invention, in a state where the inner lid 12 is opened, the nipping of the recording paper P by the inner wall surface 121 of the inner lid 12 and the nipping surface 131 of the nipping plate 13 is released. The recording paper P can be accommodated in the “accommodating portion” and the recording paper P can be taken out from the accommodating portion easily and smoothly. When the inner lid 12 is closed with the recording paper P being accommodated in the “accommodating portion”, the recording paper P is automatically sandwiched between the inner wall surface 121 of the inner lid 12 and the clamping surface 131 of the clamping plate 13. It becomes. Therefore, since the user only needs to perform the opening / closing operation of the inner lid 12, the usability is improved, and the recording paper P of the “accommodating portion” is not sandwiched while the inner lid 12 is closed. Can be prevented in advance.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the invention described in the claims, and these are also included in the scope of the present invention. Needless to say.
