Abstract

PURPOSE:To omit a fan motor and rotate a fan continuously, irrespective of whether a printer is operating or waiting, by providing a motion transmitting mechanism for transmitting a rotational motion of a paper-feeding motor to the fan to operate the fan, a switching means for switching ON and OFF the transmission of the rotational motion of the motor to a platen, and a controlling part for operating the switching means. CONSTITUTION:A printer device comprises a fan 1, by which heat generated in the device is discharged to the exterior of the device. The fan 1 is rotated by transmitting a rotational motion of a paper-feeding motor 2 to the fan 1 through a motion transmitting mechanism 3. A controlling part 4 sends a signal to a switching means 5, which switches ON and OFF the transmission of the rotational motion of the motor 2 to a platen 7. When the printer device is waiting, the motor 2 is rotated, but the platen 7 is not rotated because the switching means 2 is in an OFF condition. On the other hand, the fan 1 is rotated by the rotation of the motor 2. During the operation of the printer device, the rotational motion of the motor 2 is transmitted to the platen 7 when the switching means 5 is set into an ON condition, while the fan 1 is also rotated.

【発明の詳細な説明】 〔産業上の利用分野〕 本発明は、プリンタ装置、特に、内部発熱の冷却機能を
有するプリンタ装置に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a printer device, and particularly to a printer device having an internal heat cooling function.

〔従来の技術〕[Conventional technology]

従来のプリンタ装置は、内部発熱を冷却するため、交流
電源、あるいは直流電源で動作する冷却ファンを持って
いた。それにより、内部発熱を冷却していた。Conventional printer devices have a cooling fan that operates on AC power or DC power to cool internal heat generation. This cooled down internal heat generation.

は回転する。In the printer device shown in FIG. 1, the fin 1 is used to release heat generated inside the device to the outside of the device.
The rotational motion of the paper feed motor 2 is transmitted to the fins 1 via the motion transmission mechanism 3, and the fins 1 rotate. The control unit 4 transmits a signal via a signal line 6 to a switching means 5 for transmitting or not transmitting the rotational motion of the paper feed motor 2 to the platen 7, and transmits a signal to the switching means 5 for transmitting or not transmitting the rotational motion of the paper feed motor 2 to the platen 7. However, in response to a signal from the control section 4, the switching means 5 is turned off, and the rotational movement of the paper feed motor 2 is switched off to the platen 7.
The platen 7 does not rotate. However, since the paper feed motor 2 is rotating, rotational motion is transmitted to the fin 1 via the motion transmission mechanism 3, and the fin 1
rotates.

When the switching means 5 is turned on, the rotational movement of the paper feed motor 2 is transmitted to the platen 7, and the platen 7 rotates. Also at this time, since the paper feed motor 2 is rotating, the rotational motion is transmitted to the fin 1 via the motion transmission mechanism 3, and the fin 1 rotates.
