Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance printing speed and increase quantity of printing, by a method wherein a plurality of thermal heads are fitted to an operating sliding shaft rod provided orthogonally to the feeding direction of a printing paper, and the thermal heads are reciprocated as one body. CONSTITUTION:The operating sliding shaft rod 3 is provided orthogonally to the feeding direction of the printing paper 1 controlledly fed by a paper-feeding roller 2, and an arbitrary number of thermal heads 4 are fitted to the shaft rod 3 at a predetermined interval. The thermal heads 4 are connected to each other by connecting rods 6, a thermal transfer tape 5 is sequantially supplied between the thermal heads 4 and the printing paper 1, and the thermal heads 4 and a mechanism for the tape 5 are scanned as one body in a horizontal direction orthogonal to the feeding direction of the printing paper 1. The recorder has a recording capability of a number of times of that of a recorder comprising a single thermal head, the number being equal to the number of the thermal heads in the recorder.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the disclosure of an effective transfer-type thermal recording device that increases printing amount and printing speed by connecting a plurality of transfer heating elements and driving them together. .

Conventionally, in this type of thermal transfer, a device with a single thermal head section and an IQ device with a plurality of thermal heads arranged in parallel in the printing paper feeding direction (see Figure 2) have been used. However, in the case of the former device, since the printing speed is slow, the printing amount is inevitably small. In the latter case, the received data is accumulated in the buffer 7 memory in line sequence,
Alternatively, the frame sequential signal must be stored in the screen memory and recorded as a color sequential signal delayed by the head interval, which eliminates the inconvenience of requiring the head interval to be as small as possible and requires multiple color signal processing. It has the following drawbacks.

The uninvented invention was specially devised in view of the inconveniences in the prior art, and one of the advantages of L1 is to increase the printing speed with the same driving technique Li:i as the previous thermal printing 71. In this way, the amount of printing can be increased.

Another main objective of the present invention is to
By making the distance between the edge portions adjustable as appropriate, it is possible to change the print arrangement depending on the printing paper, thereby minimizing waste of printing paper.

Furthermore, one of the other main objects of the present invention is to connect any plurality of thermal joints and throats to a phase π, so that only one drive system is required, and the cost can be reduced. This is what I did.

Therefore, in order to achieve an appropriate and appropriate effect on the above-mentioned characteristics, the present invention provides a feeding mechanism for printing paper that is adjusted and moved in a predetermined direction, and a mechanism that transports the printing paper. In a configuration consisting of a thermal head whose operation is regulated perpendicular to the direction, and a thermal transfer tape sequentially supplied between the thermal head and the printing paper, an operation provided on the printing paper perpendicular to the transport direction. A plurality of optional thermal heads are mounted on the sliding shaft at predetermined intervals, and the thermal heads are connected to each other, and the thermal route is caused to reciprocate under a single body. In addition to this, we have also planned to make considerable design changes to this configuration in accordance with the requirements of the trade.

Hereinafter, details of the present invention will be described with reference to a typical embodiment shown in the drawings.
An operating sliding shaft (3) is provided perpendicular to the transfer direction of the operating slide axis (3), and an arbitrary plurality of thermal heads (4
) are mounted on shafts at predetermined intervals, and in this case, a plurality of shaft-mounted thermal heads (4) are connected to each other by a connecting culm (6), and the thermal heads (4) and the printing The thermal transfer tape (5) is sequentially supplied between the sheets of paper (1), and the thermal head (4) and this thermal transfer tape (5) mechanism are integrated into the printing sheet (1).
It is designed to scan horizontally at right angles to the transport direction.

Note that a signal is input to each thermal head (4) so that it draws the same transferred image.

The present invention has a characteristic configuration that is diagonally upward, in particular, a printing paper feeding mechanism that is adjusted and moved in a predetermined direction, a thermal head that is perpendicular to the printing paper transport direction and whose operation is regulated, In a configuration consisting of this thermal head and a thermal transfer tape that is sequentially supplied between printing sheets, a plurality of arbitrary thermal heads are installed on an operating sliding shaft provided perpendicularly to the transport direction of the printing sheet. By arranging the shaft-mounted thermal heads at intervals, interconnecting the shaft-mounted thermal heads, and making the thermal heads reciprocate under a single body, the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art can be effectively corrected. The following specific effects were expected.

That is, in the present invention, by arranging a plurality of thermal heads (4) on the same operating base line in the operating direction of the thermal heads, it is possible to
) performs the same recording at the same time in the same phase, making it possible to increase the recording capacity twice as much as that of the previous system with a thermal head of I'11-., and dramatically increase the printing capacity. It is something that Since each thermal head is operated manually, the information transmission mechanism is easy to create, and the drive mechanism for the thermal head only requires medium power, which reduces the price. I hope so.

Furthermore, in the present invention, the spacing between the ends of the thermal head 7 can be adjusted so that selection can be made, and an appropriate dimensional plan based on the size and shape of the printing paper 1 can be made. Noh and 1. It is something that

As stated above, an object of the present invention is to provide a transfer type thermal recording device that can fully meet the demand for faster printing.
