Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a pre-recorded recording sheet of a large image output machine for recording an image using a relatively large recording sheet such as A1 and A2 size recording sheets. Regarding the accumulation mechanism.

[Conventional technology]

As a processing mechanism for a recorded recording sheet in an image output machine, an automatic processing mechanism is considerably advanced in a relatively small device such as a device using a recording sheet of about A3 size. For example, it is possible to sequentially stack recorded recording sheets.

By the way, regarding the image output machine that uses A2 size or more as the recording paper, there are mainly serious problems such as the installation space of the equipment with the increase of the recording paper and the rigidity of the recording paper due to the increase of the recording paper. For example, it is difficult to automate the paper processing for two reasons, that is, the so-called "paper habit" becomes large and the proper processing is difficult.

The automatic processing mechanism for recorded recording paper is not impossible if it is allowed to enlarge the above-mentioned installation space and by performing appropriate processing so as not to cause so-called "paper habit", but it is extremely expensive. In addition, the device may be difficult to handle. For this reason, in this type of large-sized image output machine, it is possible to prevent the recorded recording paper from being scattered over a wide range rather than to perform advanced automation processing such as orderly holding and accumulating the recorded recording paper. The ones that perform processing are the mainstream. This invention also relates to improvement of secondary processing.

A typical example of the conventional secondary processing system of this type is the device shown in FIG.

The recording sheet 2 on which recording has been performed from the image output machine main body 1 is sent out at a predetermined speed from a carry-out section (not shown).

For example, when the recording paper 2 used in the image output machine 1 is a roll recording paper, it is cut and discharged by a cutter mechanism (not shown) for each predetermined recording range. The discharged recording paper is dropped into the paper receiving box 3 provided at the foot of the device body.

With such a structure, the recording sheets are accumulated to some extent.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

By the way, in such a conventional configuration, since the recording paper using the roll recording paper is mounted on the device in a state where the recording paper is wound in advance, so-called "rolling" is extremely strong. The recording paper 2 loaded in the receiving box 3 is wound as shown in the figure, and there is a drawback that many recording papers 2 which have already been recorded cannot be accumulated.

Further, since the paper receiving box 3 is installed at the foot of the device, there is a drawback that the paper receiving box 3 is damaged when it is not in contact with the paper receiving box 3 when the user operates the device.

The present invention aims to improve these points.

[Means for solving problems]

Therefore, in this invention, a frame that serves as an entrance for recorded recording paper is provided at the bottom of the device main body,
A plurality of wires are provided at substantially equal intervals at the front end of the frame, and the other tip of the wires is configured to be locked by a spring at the foot of the device.

[Action]

The recording paper is loaded from a frame serving as an entrance for the recorded recording paper, and the recording papers are accumulated and held in a recording paper storage section regulated by a wire stretched in the front and a stand at the rear.

When taking out the accumulated recording paper, it can be easily taken out from the side open area.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 respectively show an image output machine showing one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a side sectional view of this equipment, and FIG. 2 is an explanation seen from the lower part of the equipment. It is a figure. In the figure, 1 is a device main body, 11 is a stand, 12 is a foot, 13 is a recording section housed in the main body 1, 2 is a recording sheet on which recording has been completed,
Reference numeral 21 is an unrecorded roll recording paper housed in the main body 1, 31 is a frame which is an entrance of the recorded recording paper, 32 is a wire group, and 33 is a spring.

As shown in FIG. 1, it has a frame 31 attached to the lower surface of the device body 1 so as to be able to move back and forth. The frame 31 has at least a front end 31 and two side ends 312 and 313 as shown in FIG. And at the front end 31 of this frame 31, a plurality of wires
321, 322, 323, and 324 are locked at substantially equal intervals. The other end of the wire group 32 is locked by a spring 33 provided at the foot of the stand 11 as shown in FIGS.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, when the frame 31 is pulled out when the device is used, a special mechanism for locking the frame 31 in its position by the tension T1 applied by the spring 33 is required. It has a configuration that does not. Further, when the frame 31 is stored in the lower part of the main body 1 after the use of the device is finished, the tension and the direction of the tension applied by the spring 33 gradually change from T1 to T2, and the frame 31 is moved at a certain position. It has a configuration in which it is automatically drawn into the storage position shown by the broken line. That is, in this embodiment, the frame 31 has the body 1
This can be done by simply providing a member that can be moved back and forth when it is attached to the lower surface of, and the configuration can be extremely simplified.

On the other hand, the engagement of the other end of the wire group 32 with the spring 33 is coupled via the wire direction conversion holding member constituted by the smooth member shown in FIG.

When the device is used, the frame 31 is drawn out to form a storage area for the recorded recording paper 2, the unrecorded roll recording paper 21 is drawn out, recording is performed by the recording unit 31, and a predetermined recording range is recorded, and then the drawing is shown. Not cut by a cutter mechanism and dropped and accumulated in the storage area.

When the use of the device is finished, the recording paper 2 discharged from the side portion of the device is taken out, and then the frame 31 is pushed in.

It should be noted that in this embodiment, the recorded recording paper which has been cut into a predetermined size has been described, but it can also be used for an apparatus to which a cutter mechanism is not added.

In this case, the so-called recorded recording paper 2 is in a "dripping" state. However, as shown in FIG. 1, when the paper storage area is narrowed downward, the so-called "curl curling" of the discharged paper is performed. It is stored while being rolled up.

[Effect of device]

As described above, according to the present invention, the recorded recording sheets can be efficiently collected.
