Abstract

PURPOSE:To accurately control the peripheral speed of a belt member by outputting a detection speed signal up to that time or a reference speed signal, instead of an erroneous detection speed signal caused by the joint of a belt member, by means of a signal replacing means. CONSTITUTION:The detection speed signal for showing the peripheral speed of the belt member 1 at that time, is outputted from the encoder of a speed detecting means 2. On the other hand, a joint pass signal for showing timing that the joint 16 of the belt member 1 passes a speed detecting roll 21, is outputted, from the timing calculating circuit of a joint detecting means 3. The signal replacing means outputs two signals made different according to the presence of the input of the joint pass signal to a data calculating circuit. In other words, when the joint pass signal is not inputted, the detection speed signal inputted from the encoder is outputted to the data calculating circuit, as it is. On the other hand, while the joint pass signal is inputted, the detection speed signal outputted until the joint pass signal is inputted, is continuously, outputted, as it is.

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in a color electrophotographic copying machine, a toner image (visible image) of a plurality of colors such as magenta, cyan and yellow is multi-transferred onto a recording sheet to form a color image. Particularly in recent years, for the purpose of improving the image forming speed, a toner image forming unit including a photosensitive drum and a developing device for each color is provided and conveyed along the conveyance path of the recording sheet in the copying machine. Attempts have been made to continuously transfer toner images of multiple colors onto the recording sheet.

As described above, in a color electrophotographic copying machine, a toner image of a plurality of colors is transferred onto a recording sheet in a multiple transfer manner to form a color image. Therefore, the transfer position of the toner image transferred first and the transfer position of the toner image transferred later are transferred. The transfer position of the formed toner image must exactly match on the recording sheet. If they do not match, a color error will occur in the completed color image, and image defects such as non-uniform line thickness will occur. Therefore, in order to form a high quality color image having no image quality defect, it is important that the belt member that conveys the recording sheet always rotates at a constant peripheral speed. But,
In practice, it is practically impossible to keep the peripheral speed of the belt member completely constant because the roll that stretches the belt member is not a perfect circle, or the drive motor that rotates the belt member has uneven rotation. Is impossible.

Therefore, conventionally, speed detecting means for detecting the peripheral speed of the belt member is provided, and the rotational speed of the drive motor is controlled based on the detected peripheral speed of the belt member.

The speed detecting means is composed of a speed detecting roll which abuts on the belt member and is rotated together with the belt member, and a rotary encoder which outputs a speed detecting signal based on the number of rotations of the detecting roll. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, an opposing roll 62 biased toward the belt member 6 is provided at a position opposed to the speed detection roll 61 with the belt member 6 interposed therebetween, and the belt member 6 is detected by the detection roll 61.

The rotary encoder comprises, for example, a disk mounted on the rotary shaft of the detection roll and a photosensor for reading the mark written on the disk. In this case, the speed detection signal is output as a pulse signal having a different output interval according to the rotation speed of the detection roll, that is, the peripheral speed of the belt member. Figure 10
It is a block diagram which shows the conventional method of controlling the rotation speed of a drive motor based on the speed detection signal output from a rotary encoder. The speed detection signal output from the encoder is first input to the data arithmetic circuit. The data arithmetic circuit compares the previously stored reference speed signal with the speed detection signal. Here, the reference speed signal is
It is determined based on the peripheral speed of the belt member set as the target value. Then, the data arithmetic circuit outputs from the comparison result whether the peripheral speed of the belt member is faster or slower than the target peripheral speed, and the driver circuit receiving this outputs the rotational speed of the drive motor to increase or decrease. ..

By the way, since the belt member is formed in an endless manner by joining both ends, when the belt seam penetrates between the detection roll and the opposing roll, the detection roll is joined by the seam. There is a case where the impact force at the time of getting over the vehicle is transmitted to the rotary encoder, and the rotary encoder outputs a speed detection signal irrelevant to the rotation speed of the detection roll. Therefore, in the conventional control method, even when the peripheral speed of the belt member substantially matches the target value, when the seam of the belt member passes through the detection roll, the peripheral speed of the belt member becomes lower than the target value. Was judged to be fast or slow, and the peripheral speed of the belt member could not be controlled appropriately.

Further, the impact when the seam plunges between the detection roll and the opposing roll is also transmitted to the belt member itself.

The timing calculation circuit calculates the timing at which the seam passes the speed detection roll based on the input of the seam detection signal, and outputs the seam passage signal in accordance with this timing. However, actually, a margin of ± 0.05 (s) is provided before and after the timing at which the seam passes the speed detection roll, and the seam passage signal is output for a certain fixed time width. The timing at which the seam 16 passes through the speed detection roll 21 is calculated from the peripheral speed V (m / s) of the belt member 1 and the distance L (m) between the speed detection roll 21 and the seam detection sensor 32 (see FIG. 5). ). That is, the passage timing is L / V (s) after the joint detection sensor 32 reads the detection mark 31. Therefore, the time when the seam passage signal is output from this timing calculation circuit
After reading 31, it is between L / V-0.05 and L / V + 0.05 (s).

The detected speed signal and the seam passage signal are input to the signal replacement means. The signal replacement means outputs two signals that differ depending on whether or not a seam passage signal is input to the data operation circuit. That is, when the seam passage signal is not input, the detected speed signal input from the encoder 23 is directly output to the data arithmetic circuit, and while the seam passage signal is being input, it is output until the seam passage signal is input. It continues to output the detected speed signal as it is.

FIG. 6 is a timing chart showing the relationship among the signal output from the signal replacing means, the speed detection signal from the encoder 23, and the seam passage signal from the timing calculation circuit. Here, the interval of the timing pulse of the speed detection signal is regularly disturbed because the impact when the speed detection roll 21 passes over the joint 16 of the belt member 1 is transmitted to the encoder 23, and the encoder 23 temporarily operates. This is because it causes defects. At this time, the seam passage signal is input to the signal replacement means at time zones t 1 to t 2 , t 3 to t 4 , and t 5 to t 6 including the timing at which the seam 16 of the belt member 1 passes through the speed detection roll 21. Has been done. Therefore, taking the time zones t 1 to t 2 as an example, the signal replacement means does not output the actual detection speed signal in t 1 to t 2 , but continues to output the detection speed signal before the time t 1 . The time t 2 later so seam passing signal is not input, the signal replacement means directly outputs the detection speed signal being input at that time. After that time zone t 3 to t 4 , t 5
The same operation is repeated for ~ t 6 .

As a result, the output signal of the signal replacing means becomes stable by removing the influence of the joint 16 of the belt member 1. Further, since it is considered that the actual peripheral speed of the belt member in the time zones t 1 to t 2 is not significantly different from the peripheral speed immediately before the time t 1, the detected speed signal in the time zones t 1 to t 2 is as described above. There is no problem if you pretend to be. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to input the detected speed signal, which corresponds to the peripheral speed of the belt member, to the next data arithmetic circuit.

The detected speed signal thus stabilized by the signal replacing means is input to the data calculation circuit and compared with the reference speed signal determined from the target peripheral speed of the belt member 1. The comparison of both signals is performed by comparing the number of timing pulses included per unit time. That is, when the number of timing pulses of the detected speed signal is smaller than the reference speed signal, it is determined that the peripheral speed of the belt member 1 is slower than the target peripheral speed. If the number of timing pulses in the detected speed signal is greater than the reference speed signal, the belt member 1
It is judged that the peripheral speed of is faster than the target peripheral speed. And
Based on this result, the driver circuit is instructed to accelerate or decelerate the drive motor 11.

At this time, in this embodiment, since the detected speed signal stabilized by removing the influence of the joint 16 of the belt member 1 is compared with the reference speed signal, the data arithmetic circuit determines the peripheral speed of the belt member 1. There is no mistake. Therefore, the peripheral speed of the belt member 1 can be controlled appropriately.

In this embodiment, the signal replacing means replaces the output signal in the time zone t1 to t2 with the detected speed signal input immediately before the time t1, but the output signal in this time zone is prepared in advance. It may be used as the reference speed signal. When the detected speed signal is replaced in this way, the peripheral speed of the belt member 1 in the time zones t1 to t2 matches the peripheral speed that is the control target, so the peripheral speed of the belt member 1 in this time zone is No fix.
