音が大きく静粛性に著しく欠けるという不都合があった
。Conventionally, in general printers, the entire carriage mechanism was fixed to the board, which had the disadvantage that the gear ledge drive motor required high torque when the carriage was operating (particularly when starting up and reversing). In particular, in thermal printers (including thermal transfer types), the print head and paper contact and slide, creating a frictional state during printing, so a high-torque gear ledge drive motor must be installed.
For this reason, a motor with a large output and a high voltage applied to the motor are required, and there is a problem in that the noise caused by the pressure of the motor and the like is large and quietness is significantly lacking.

ャリッジ駆動用モータ７によシ駆動される。This will be explained with reference to FIG. 1 is a carriage equipped with a printing mechanism. 2 is a part of the seesaw, which serves as a fulcrum for vertical swing. Numerals 3 and 4 are electromagnets, which are means for driving the vertical movement of the scene part 2. A carriage shaft 5 guides the movement of the carriage 1 from side to side. 6 is a side plate that supports the carriage shaft 5 and the like, and 7 is a carriage motor for driving the carriage. 8 is a paper feed roller that feeds the printing paper; 9 is a paper feed crawler drive motor that drives the paper feed roller 8; 1
0 is a board, and 11 is a seesaw connection part, which connects the seesaw part 2 and the board 10. 12.13 is the direction of carriage movement. In this embodiment, drive speed control is sufficient, and the carriage is driven by a carriage drive motor 7 using a belt (not shown) or the like.

れる。With the above configuration, if the printer is stationary,
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, part of the scene 2Vi is balanced, and the left and right electromagnets 3 and 4 are not energized. A carriage machine S having a carriage shaft 5t has a substrate 1
It is in a horizontal state with 0. During operation, when the carriage 1 moves in the right direction 12, which is the operating direction, the electromagnets 3 repel each other, 11! c The magnets 4 are energized so that they attract each other. As a result, the seesaw part 2 tilts to the right, as shown in FIG. When the carriage 1 moves in the left direction 13, which is the operating direction, the electromagnets 3 are energized to attract each other and the electromagnets 4 are energized to repel each other, contrary to the case of the right direction 12 described above. As shown, the seesaw part 2 is tilted to the left. In addition, the center of the scene part 2 (the fulcrum of the seesaw part 2) is the seesaw connection part 11
is always connected and supported by the substrate 10. Note that when the angle between the carriage shaft 5 and the substrate 10 is, for example, 30 degrees, the torque of the carriage motor 7 is approximately 13 degrees. % will be reduced.
本発明によれば、簡単な機構によって、キャレ、ジ駆動

、キャリッジモータなしで上下揺動のみでキャリッジを
駆動でき、キャリッジモータによる騒音がなく、よシい
っそう静粛性が向上したプリンタが得られる。According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a vertically swinging printer that uses a simple mechanism to facilitate carriage and carriage drive, downsizes the drive motor, reduces noise associated with carriage drive, and is quieter. It will be done. Furthermore, by adding a mechanism to control the carriage movement speed, such as an encoder, the carriage can be driven by just vertical swinging without the need for a carriage motor, resulting in a printer that is even quieter without the noise caused by the carriage motor. can get.
