실개소 62-139657호는, 열기록 헤드를 헤드 지지체를 통해서 프레임에 유지하는 것이며, 이 헤드 지지체는 그 양측에 형성한 축 구멍을 프레임에 회전이 자유롭게 유지된 지지축에 끼워 맞춤으로써 유지되는 것이다.[0007] In Patent Application No. 62-139657, the heat recording head is held in the frame through the head support, and the head support is held by fitting the shaft holes formed on both sides to the support shaft freely rotated in the frame. .
실개소 62-45145 호는, 지지판에 장착된 지지축 및 핀에 의해서 평면형 열기록 헤드가 지지되는 것이다.In actual places 62-45145, a flat thermal recording head is supported by a support shaft and a pin attached to a support plate.
특개소 62-11670 호는, 양 프레임 사이에 건너지른 힌지 샤프트(hinge shaft)에 고정된 볼베어링에 장착한 헤드홀더에 의하여 열기록 헤드를 지지하고 있다.Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-11670 supports a heat recording head by a head holder attached to a ball bearing fixed to a hinge shaft crossed between two frames.
특개평 01-294081 호에서, 열기록 헤드는 탄성체를 끼워 나사를 자른 연결재에 의해서 누름 레버에 나사로 고정되어 있다.In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 01-294081, the heat recording head is screwed to the push lever by a connecting material in which an elastic body is sandwiched and screwed.
이들 중 특개평 01-294081 호는, 고정을 위한 부재로서 스프링 볼트와 같은 연결부재를 특히 필요로 하며, 기타의 것은 모두 열기록 헤드의 히트싱크(heat sink)부에 별도의 유지 부착구를 장착하고, 여기에 관통 샤프트를 회전축으로 해서 프레임에 지지하여, 플래튼에 압착시키고 있다.Among them, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 01-294081 particularly requires a connecting member such as a spring bolt as a member for fixing, and all others have a separate holding attachment part on a heat sink of a heat recording head. Then, the through shaft is used as the rotating shaft to support the frame, and the platen is pressed against the platen.
다음에, 열기록 헤드를 플래튼측으로 누르기 위한 누름기구의 종래예에 관해서 설명한다.Next, a conventional example of a pressing mechanism for pressing the heat recording head to the platen side will be described.

이하, 도면을 참조하여, 본 발명의 실시예를 설명한다.Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
부호 1은, 그 전방에 회전운동이 자유로운 플래튼(2)이 축지지된 프린터 본체의 프레임이다. 3은 히트싱크부(4)를 가지는 열기록 헤드이다. 5는, 프레임(1)에 유지된 열기록 헤드(3)를 플래튼(2)측으로 누르는 헤드스프링 어셈블리이다. 7은 히트싱크부(3)의 아래쪽의 양끝단에 설치한 돌출편(6,6)에 끼워맞춤하는 최대직경D, 최소직경d의 이형의 부시이다.Reference numeral 1 denotes a frame of the printer main body on which the platen 2 freely rotates in front thereof. 3 is a heat recording head having a heat sink 4. 5 is a head spring assembly for pressing the heat recording head 3 held in the frame 1 toward the platen 2 side. 7 is a release bush of the maximum diameter D and the minimum diameter d which fit to the protrusion pieces 6 and 6 provided in the both ends of the heat sink part 3 below.
열기록 헤드(3)의 히트싱크부(4)의 길이방향 양단의 하방으로 돌편(6),(6)을 형성하고, 각 돌편(6),(6)에 부시(7),(7)를 끼운다. 부시(7)로서는, 그 바깥 둘레의 한쪽을 절단면(D)형상으로 하여, 상기 돌편(6)에 눌러 넣어서 장착한다.The protrusions 6 and 6 are formed below the longitudinal ends of the heat sink 4 of the heat recording head 3, and bushes 7 and 7 are attached to the protrusions 6 and 6, respectively. Insert it. As the bush 7, one end of the outer periphery is cut into the shape of the surface D, and is pressed into the protrusion pieces 6 to be mounted.
프레임(1)양단 하방에 상기 부시(7),(7)를 끼워 맞추는 걸어멈춤부(8)를 형성한다.A locking portion 8 for fitting the bushes 7 and 7 below the frame 1 is formed.
걸어멈춤부(8)는, 그 하방에 홈부(8a)와, 상방에 부시(7)의 단면(D) 형상이 회전할 수 있는 직경의 구멍부(8b)로써 되어 있다.The stopping part 8 is formed as the groove part 8a below, and the hole part 8b of the diameter which the shape of the cross section D of the bush 7 can rotate above.
그리고, 홈부(8a)의 폭은, 열기록 헤드(3)를 프레임(1)에 장착할 때에 상기 부시(7)가 미끄러져 들어가고, 또한 장착된 열기록 헤드(3)를 플래튼(2)측으로 넘어뜨렸을때, 부시(7)의 탈락이 저지되도록, 부시(7)의 D형상부의 직경보다 작게한다.The width of the groove 8a is such that the bush 7 slides when the heat recording head 3 is mounted on the frame 1, and the platen 2 is mounted thereon. When falling to the side, it is made smaller than the diameter of the D-shaped part of the bush 7 so that the fall of the bush 7 may be prevented.
구멍(8b)은 열기록 헤드(3)의 인자면을 플래튼(2) 바깥둘레에 밀착시키기 위하여, 부시(7)보다 조금 크게하여 약간의 거터(gutter)를 두어, 과구속이 되는 것을 피하는 것이 바람직하다.The hole 8b is slightly larger than the bush 7 so as to have a little gutter in order to adhere the printing surface of the thermal recording head 3 to the outer circumference of the platen 2, so as to avoid overcoming. desirable.
헤드스프링 어셈블리(5)는, 그 전방에 프레임(1)에 장착한 열기록 헤드(3)를 누르는 헤드누름스프링(9)을 장착한다. 헤드누름스프링(9)은, 열기록 헤드(3)전체를 상방으로부터 균일하게 누르기 위하여, 열기록 헤드(3)의 폭과 대략 동일한 크기로 한다.The head spring assembly 5 mounts a head press spring 9 for pushing the heat recording head 3 mounted on the frame 1 in front of the head spring assembly 5. The head press spring 9 has a size substantially equal to the width of the heat recording head 3 in order to uniformly press the entire heat recording head 3 from above.
또한, 헤드스프링 어셈블리(5)의 양단에는 스토퍼(stopper)부로서의 돌출편(10),(10)을 각각 형성하고, 후방의 홀더(holder)(11)에 프레임(1)의 위치결정 돌기(12),(12)에 끼워맞추어지는 각이 진 구멍 (13), (13)을 뚫는다.Further, at both ends of the head spring assembly 5, protrusions 10 and 10 are formed as stopper portions, respectively, and positioning projections of the frame 1 are placed on the rear holder 11, respectively. 12) Drill angled holes (13) and (13) that fit into (12).
한편, 14는 헤드스프링어셈블리(5)의 돌출편(10)이 끼워넣어지는 돌출편받이이며, 15는 열기록 헤드(3)의 인자측으로의 누름을 해제하는 헤드업 레버이며, 각각 프레임(1)측에 설치된다. 그리고, 이들 돌기(12) 및 돌출편 받이(14)는, 헤드스프링어셈블리(5)를 프레임(1)에 고정할 때에 각 구멍(13) 및 돌편(10)에 상응하는 위치에 설치되어 있다. 또한 헤드누름스프링(9)은, 열기록 헤드(3) 전체를 위쪽에서 균일하게 누르기 때문에, 열기록 헤드(3)의 폭과 거의 동일한 크기로 한다. 또한 헤드누름스프링(9)으로서는, 열기록 헤드(3)를 누를 때에 전체를 균일하게 누를 수 있으면 되고, 판스프링이어도 문제는 없다.On the other hand, 14 is a protrusion receiving base into which the projecting piece 10 of the head spring assembly 5 is fitted, and 15 is a head-up lever for releasing the pressing on the printing side of the thermal recording head 3, respectively. It is installed on the side. And these projection 12 and the protrusion piece support 14 are provided in the position corresponding to each hole 13 and the protrusion piece 10 when fixing the head spring assembly 5 to the frame 1. As shown in FIG. In addition, since the head press spring 9 presses the whole heat recording head 3 uniformly from the upper side, it is set as substantially the same size as the width of the heat recording head 3. In addition, as the head press spring 9, when the heat recording head 3 is pressed, the whole can be pressed uniformly, and even if it is a leaf spring, there is no problem.

The head is pushed into the protrusion receiving members 14 and 14 and pushed down, and the head spring assembly 5 is pushed so that the angled holes 13 and 13 enter the positioning protrusions 12 and 12, respectively. The spring assembly 5 is mounted to the frame 1 and at the same time the head press spring 9 presses the heat recording head 4 to the platen side.
이상에 의하여, 프레임(1)에 열기록 헤드(3) 및 헤드스프링 어셈블리(5)가 조립되어진 프린터 본체는 헤드업 레버(15)를 앞으로 당긴 상태에서, 제 3 도에 화살표로 도시하는 바와 같이 하측 혹은 뒤측으로부터 용지를 공급한 후, 제 2 도와 같이 헤드업 레버(15)를 플래튼(2)측으로 넘어뜨리고, 인자를 개시한다.By the above, the printer main body in which the heat recording head 3 and the head spring assembly 5 are assembled to the frame 1 has the head-up lever 15 pulled forward, as shown by the arrow in FIG. After the sheet is fed from the lower side or the rear side, the head-up lever 15 is turned over to the platen 2 side as in the second diagram, and printing starts.
그리고, 제 3 도와 같이 헤드업 레버(15)를 앞으로 당기는 것은, 용지의 공급 시에만 한하지 않는다. 인자를 하지 않을 때에 앞으로 당겨 놓으면, 열기록 헤드의 히트싱크부에 불필요한 부담을 주지 않고, 휨등으로 인한 차질 등을 미연에 방지할 수가 있다.And pulling the head up lever 15 forward like a 3rd figure is not limited only at the time of paper supply. By pulling forward when not printing, it is possible to prevent obstacles due to warpage or the like without putting unnecessary burden on the heat sink portion of the thermal recording head.
다음에 열기록 헤드(3)및 헤드스프링 어셈블리(5)를 프레임(1)으로부터 해제하는 것은 상기 역의 수순으로 행하여진다.Next, the release of the heat recording head 3 and the head spring assembly 5 from the frame 1 is performed in the reverse order.
즉, 헤드스프링 어셈블리(5)의 홀더(11)를 상방으로 들어올리고, 각이 진 구멍(13),(13)을 위치결정 돌기(12),(12)로부터 벗겨서 헤드스프링 어셈블리(5) 전체를 전방으로 밀면, 스토퍼부의 돌출편(10),(10)도 프레임(1)의 돌출편 받이(14),(14)로부터 벗어진다.That is, the holder 11 of the head spring assembly 5 is lifted upward, and the angled holes 13 and 13 are peeled off from the positioning protrusions 12 and 12, so that the entire head spring assembly 5 is removed. Is pushed forward, the protruding pieces 10 and 10 of the stopper portion are also removed from the protruding piece receiving members 14 and 14 of the frame 1.
또한, 히트싱크부(4)를 앞으로 당기고 부시(7),(7)의 원형부분의 최대직경인 D의 커트부분인 직선부의 폭을 최소직경d로 하면, 이 최소직경d와 홈부(8a)의 직선면을 일치시키면 히트싱크(4)는 아래측으로 빠져 떨어지고, 열기록 헤드(3)가 프레임(1)으로부터 벗어진다.Further, when the heat sink 4 is pulled forward and the width of the straight portion that is the cut portion of D, which is the maximum diameter of the circular portions of the bushes 7 and 7, is set to the minimum diameter d, the minimum diameter d and the groove portion 8a. The heat sink 4 falls out from the lower side when the straight surfaces of the coincides with each other, and the heat recording head 3 is detached from the frame 1.
상기 실시예에서는, 히트싱크부(4)의 양단에 형성되는 돌기로서, 돌편(6)에부시(7)를 눌러 넣은 것을 예시하였으나, 히트싱크부(4)의 양단에 직접 상기 부시(7)와 동일형상의 것을 형성할 수도 있다.In the above embodiment, as the projections formed on both ends of the heat sink portion 4, the bush 7 is pushed into the protrusion pieces 6, but the bush 7 directly on both ends of the heat sink portion 4 is illustrated. It is also possible to form the same shape as.
그러나, 본 실시예와 같이 부시를 끼워 넣는 방식의 것 쪽이 히트싱크의 제조가 용이하다는 이점이 있다.However, there is an advantage that the heat sink can be manufactured more easily in the bush fitting method as in the present embodiment.
이상과 같이 본 발명에 의한 감열식 프린터의 열기록 헤드는, 히트싱크부의 요동축의 양단에 부시를 끼워맞춤시켜, 프레임 양단의 그에 대응하는 걸어멈춤부에 유동가능하게 끼우기만 한다는 점에서, 열기록이 가능하며, 부품의 수를 대표적으로 삭감할 수도 있음으로, 그 유지관리(maintenance)성이 향상되고, 또한 제품의 저렴화에도 공헌할 수가 있는 등 다대한 효과를 가진다.As described above, the thermal recording head of the thermal printer according to the present invention only fits the bushes on both ends of the swing shaft of the heat sink, so that the thermal recording heads can be inserted into the corresponding stops on both ends of the frame so as to be movable. It is possible to record and to reduce the number of parts representatively, which has a great effect such that the maintenance is improved and also the cost of the product can be reduced.
