In general, in conventional dry electrostatic recording type facsimile machines, there are various methods for fixing the toner image formed on the recording paper. There is a pressure fixing method that fixes images. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the running system of a receiver in a conventional pressure fixing type facsimile apparatus, and the conventional apparatus will be explained below using this diagram. That is, the recording paper 1 wound into a roll passes through the recording paper guide roller 2, the recording paper feed roller 3, and then between the recording electrode 6 and the recording paper holding roller 5, corresponding to the document content to be transmitted. An electrostatic latent image is recorded. The recording paper that has been completely received is sent to a cutter 7 by a recording paper feed roller 3 and then cut. The recording paper on which the electrostatic latent image has been recorded is sent along a recording paper guide plate 8 by a recording paper feed roller 3, developed by a developing device 9, fixed by a fixing device 10, and then transferred to a receiving original provided outside the device. Recording paper feed roller 3 to stocker 11
It is sent and stocked. Since a very large amount of pressure is required to fuse the paper, it is necessary to carry the paper between the pressure rollers at an angle and posture that will prevent wrinkles, jams, and skew from occurring when the paper passes between the rollers. There is.

As is clear from the above description, in the conventional apparatus described above, it is necessary to feed the recording paper between the pressure rollers to prevent wrinkles, jams, and skew, but the recording paper with unfixed toner may Therefore, it is not possible to touch the recording paper arbitrarily, and it is extremely difficult to maintain good conditions against all wrinkles, jams, and skews. For example, if one side of the recording paper in the direction of travel is pure black and the other is pure white, skew will occur as the image is fixed.

The present invention has been made to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and it is possible to prevent wrinkles, jams, and skew by simply applying vibratory tension to the recording paper before fixing, and to eliminate wrinkles, jams, and skew that have occurred. An object of the present invention is to provide a pressure fixing type facsimile device that can eliminate skew.

A feature of the present invention is that when tension is applied to the recording paper before fixing by the difference between the rotational speed of the pressure roller and the paper feed speed, the vibrational tension is reduced by making the rotational speed of the pressure roller vibrate. The tension is generated so that the recording paper is always kept taut as it travels, and at the same time, the applied tension can be vibrated.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2, 3, and 4. FIG. 2 is a sketch showing an embodiment of a part that applies tension to recording paper, a developing part, and a fixing part in a pressure fixing type facsimile apparatus according to the present invention. The friction plate 12 has grooves, ridges, etc. on the surface in contact with the recording paper 4 in directions that are at a slight angle with the recording paper running direction, on both the left and right sides toward the outer line of the recording paper with respect to the center line in the recording paper running direction. The recording paper is provided with something that prevents it from slipping in other directions. The rubber belt 13 rotates between a drive shaft 14 on the recording paper carry-in side and a friction force shaft 15 on the record paper discharge side, and the recording paper 4 is conveyed by each shaft rotating in the direction of the arrow in the figure. rubber belt 13
There is a gap between the drive 14 side and the friction plate 12, so that the recording paper 4 can be easily carried in. Further, the friction force shaft 15 side is connected to the friction force spring 16 by the friction force shaft 15.
5 and a rubber belt 13 are pressed against the friction plate 12. Therefore, the recording paper 4 carried in from the drive shaft 14 side
As the recording paper runs, a tension force in a direction perpendicular to the running direction of the recording paper is applied to the recording paper until it is unloaded from the friction force shaft 15 side. Further, after the recording paper 4 is caught in the pressure roller, if the rotation speed of the fixing device 10 is made faster than the speed of the rubber belt 13, the recording paper 4 is rotated in the running direction between the pressure fixing guide pin 17 and the rubber belt 13. Tension is generated, and as a result of this tension, the tension in the direction perpendicular to the running direction generated between the rubber belt 13 and the friction plate 12 spreads to the position of the pressure fixing guide pin 17. Therefore, the pressure fixing guide pin 17
At the position , that is, just before being carried into the pressure roller, tension is generated in the recording paper in the running direction of the recording paper and in a direction perpendicular to the running direction, and the recording paper 4 is carried one after another into the pressure roller in a taut state. FIG. 3 shows the relationship among the pressure roller speed, recording paper feed speed, and recording paper tension when the pressure roller drive motor of the fixing device 10 is rotated at a constant speed. Figure 3a shows the pressure roller speed, Figure 3b shows the recording paper feed roller speed, Figure 3c shows the recording paper feed, Figure 3d shows the speed difference between both rollers, and Figure 3e shows the recording paper tension. Tension is generated on the recording paper due to the speed difference between the pressure roller speed and the recording paper feed roller speed.
If the speed difference is constant, a constant tension will be generated. FIG. 4 shows the relationship among the pressure roller speed, recording paper feed speed, and recording paper tension for applying tension in a vibratory manner according to the present invention. The pressure roller speed is
This can be done by making the rotational speed of the pressure roller drive motor vibrate.Moreover, making the rotational speed of the pressure roller drive motor vibratory can be achieved, for example, by making the voltage applied to the motor vibratory, and the applied voltage can also be made vibratory. It is very easy to make oscillatory, so it can be done easily. The pressure roller speed is shown in Figure 4a.
If the tension of the recording paper is made to vibrate, for example, v 1 +v 1 'sin t, as shown in FIG. It becomes vibratory like 'sin t'.
Since a very large pressing force is required for fixing with the fixing roller, the recording paper feeding speed becomes almost equal to the pressing roller speed, as shown in FIG. 4c. Therefore, if a speed difference is created between the pressure roller speed and the recording paper feed roller speed as shown in FIG. This causes a frictional force between the recording paper feed roller and the recording paper, causing a slip. Therefore, even if the speed is vibrated on the recording paper feed roller side and the speed is constant on the pressure roller side, there is little effect. Furthermore, in Fig. 4, the pressure roller speed is shown as a sinusoidal variation of v 1 +v 1 'sin t, but experiments have shown that any vibration, such as a sawtooth or rectangular wave, is sufficient, and moreover, relatively high frequency ( It can be effective in correcting skew at frequencies of several tens of Hz).

As explained above, according to the present invention, by adding a simple function to the motor and applying vibratory tension to the recording paper, wrinkles, jams, and skews do not occur, and the skews that occur are reduced as the paper is fixed. Therefore, it is possible to realize a pressure fixing facsimile device that can handle extremely long recording paper.
