Description

정전기 제거수단을 구비한 급지장치{Apparatus for feeding paper having electrostatic removing means}Apparatus for feeding paper having electrostatic removing means

본 발명은 프린터나 복사기의 급지장치에 관한 것으로서, 보다 상세하게는 용지에 발생하는 정전기를 제거할 수 있는 프린터나 복사기의 급지장치에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a paper feeder for a printer or a copier, and more particularly, to a paper feeder for a printer or a copier that can remove static electricity generated on paper.

일반적으로 급지장치는 급지카세트에 적층되어 있는 용지를 프린터나 복사기의 본체로 이송하여 인쇄나 복사가 이루어질 수 있도록 하는 장치이다.In general, a paper feeding device is a device that transfers paper stacked in a paper cassette to a main body of a printer or a copier so that printing or copying can be performed.

도 1을 참조하면, 급지장치는 급지카세트(5), 피드롤러(2), 녹업판(도시되지 않음), 가이드판(3)을 포함한다.Referring to FIG. 1, the paper feeding apparatus includes a paper feeding cassette 5, a feed roller 2, a knock up plate (not shown), and a guide plate 3.

급지카세트(5)는 인쇄나 프린터를 하는 용지(1)를 적층하여 적재한다.The paper feed cassette 5 stacks and stacks the paper 1 for printing or printer.

피드롤러(2)는 급지카세트(5)에 적재된 용지(1)를 가압하여 맨 위에 적재되어 있는 용지(1)와 피드롤러(2) 사이의 마찰력으로 용지(1)를 프린터나 복사기의 본체로 이송한다. 여기서, 피드롤러(2)에 의한 마찰력과 급지카세트(5)의 용지 진행방향에 있는 벽면의 저항력에 의해 맨 위에 있는 용지 한 장이 분리되어 본체로 이송된다.The feed roller (2) presses the paper (1) loaded on the paper feed cassette (5), and presses the paper (1) with the friction force between the paper (1) loaded on the top and the feed roller (2). Transfer to. Here, one sheet of paper at the top is separated and conveyed to the main body by the frictional force of the feed roller 2 and the resistance of the wall surface in the paper traveling direction of the paper feed cassette 5.

녹업판은 급지카세트(5)의 바닥에 설치되며, 일측은 힌지결합되어 있고, 타측은 압축스프링 등에 의해 탄성지지되어 있어, 용지(1)를 피드롤러(2)에 대해 가압한다. 따라서 계속된 인쇄로 용지(1)가 소모되더라도 피드롤러(2)와 용지(1) 사이의 마찰력이 유지되도록 한다.The knockup plate is installed at the bottom of the paper feed cassette 5, one side is hinged, and the other side is elastically supported by a compression spring or the like, and presses the paper 1 against the feed roller 2. Therefore, even if the paper 1 is consumed by the continuous printing, the friction force between the feed roller 2 and the paper 1 is maintained.

가이드판(3)은 급지카세트(5)의 일측벽, 또는 양측벽에 설치되는 판상의 부재로 도전성이 좋은 금속재료로 만들어진다. 이 가이드판(3)은 급지카세트(5)에 적재된 용지(1)가 원활하게 본체내로 이송되도록 안내한다.The guide plate 3 is a plate-like member provided on one side wall or both side walls of the paper feed cassette 5, and is made of a conductive metal material. This guide plate 3 guides the paper 1 loaded in the paper feed cassette 5 to be smoothly conveyed into the main body.

또한, 가이드판(3)은 프린터나 복사기의 접지단자(9)에 연결되어 있어, 피드롤러(2)와 용지(1)와의 마찰에 의해 발생하는 정전기, 용지(1)가 피드롤러(2)에 의해 용지들 사이에서 분리될 때 발생하는 정전기 및 용지(1) 자체가 함유하고 있는 정전기를 접지시켜 제거한다.In addition, the guide plate 3 is connected to the ground terminal 9 of the printer or copier so that static electricity generated by friction between the feed roller 2 and the paper 1 and the paper 1 are fed to the feed roller 2. The static electricity generated when separated between the sheets by the paper and the static electricity contained in the paper 1 itself is grounded and removed.

이하, 상기와 같은 종래의 급지장치의 동작을 상세히 설명한다.Hereinafter, the operation of the conventional paper feeder as described above will be described in detail.

급지카세트(5)에 용지(1)를 적재하면, 녹업판이 적재된 용지(1)를 피드롤러(2)에 대해 가압하여 피드롤러(2)와 용지(1) 사이에 마찰력이 발생한다. 그러면 피드롤러(2)가 회전하면서 상기의 마찰력으로 용지(1)를 한 장씩 분리하여 본체내로 이송한다.When the paper 1 is loaded in the paper feed cassette 5, the paper 1 on which the knock up plate is loaded is pressed against the feed roller 2 to generate a friction force between the feed roller 2 and the paper 1. Then, as the feed roller 2 rotates, the paper 1 is separated one by one by the frictional force, and is conveyed into the main body.

이때, 급지카세트(5) 측벽에 있는 가이드판(3)이 용지(1)의 안내역할을 하면서 용지(1)의 양측면과 접촉하고 있기 때문에 용지(1)에 발생한 정전기를 접지한다. 즉, 피드롤러(2)와 용지(1)와의 마찰에 의해 발생하는 정전기와, 용지(1)가 피드롤러(2)에 의해 용지들 사이에서 분리될 때 발생하는 정전기 및 용지(1) 자체의 정전기가 가이드판(3)을 통해 프린터나 복사기의 접지단자(9)로 연결되어 제거된다.At this time, since the guide plate 3 on the side of the paper feed cassette 5 is in contact with both sides of the paper 1 while serving as a guide of the paper 1, the static electricity generated in the paper 1 is grounded. That is, the static electricity generated by the friction between the feed roller 2 and the paper 1 and the static electricity generated when the paper 1 is separated between the paper by the feed roller 2 and the paper 1 itself. Static electricity is removed by connecting to the ground terminal 9 of the printer or copier through the guide plate (3).

그러나, 이와 같은 급지장치는 용지(1)의 양측면만이 가이드판(3)에 의해 접지되어 있기 때문에 피드롤러(2)에 의해서 용지(1)가 분리될 때 발생하는 정전기를 효과적으로 제거하지 못한다는 문제점이 있었다.However, this paper feeder does not effectively remove the static electricity generated when the paper 1 is separated by the feed roller 2 because only the both sides of the paper 1 are grounded by the guide plate 3. There was a problem.

용지(1)의 정전기가 완전히 제거되지 않으면, 용지간에 작용하는 힘이 피드롤러(2)와 용지(1) 사이의 마찰력과 급지카세트(5) 전면벽의 저항력에 의한 용지분리력보다 크게 되어 2장의 용지가 한꺼번에 이송되는 2매 급지가 발생한다. 또한, 용지(1)가 OPC까지 이송되었을 때는 용지(1)가 갖고 있는 정전기로 인해 전위를 갖고 있는 OPC에 손상을 가하여 결국은 화상에 손상을 가하게 된다. 따라서, 인쇄나 복사 품질이 나빠지게 된다.If the static electricity of the paper 1 is not completely removed, the force applied between the papers is greater than the paper separation force due to the friction force between the feed roller 2 and the paper 1 and the resistance of the front wall of the paper feed cassette 5. Two-sheet feeding occurs where paper is fed at once. In addition, when the paper 1 is transported to the OPC, the static electricity of the paper 1 causes damage to the OPC having a potential and eventually damages the image. As a result, the quality of printing or copying becomes poor.

본 발명은 상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 안출된 것으로, 용지에 발생하는 정전기를 효율적으로 제거함으로써, 용지의 2매 급지가 방지되고 또한, 정전기에 의한 화상의 손상이 방지되는 정전기 제거수단을 구비한 급지장치를 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and is provided with an electrostatic eliminating means for efficiently eliminating static electricity generated on a paper, thereby preventing two sheets of paper from being fed, and preventing damage of an image due to static electricity. Its purpose is to provide a paper feeder.

이하, 첨부된 도면을 참조하여 본 발명에 의한 정전기 제거수단을 구비한 급지장치의 실시예에 대하여 설명한다.Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described an embodiment of a paper feeding device having a static electricity removing means according to the present invention.

도 2를 참조하면, 본 발명의 제1실시예에 의한 정전기 제거수단을 구비한 급지장치는 급지카세트(15), 피드롤러(12), 녹업판(도시되지 않음), 가이드판(13) 및 정전기 제거수단을 포함한다.Referring to FIG. 2, the paper feeding device including the static electricity removing means according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a paper feed cassette 15, a feed roller 12, a knock up plate (not shown), a guide plate 13, and the like. Electrostatic removal means.

급지카세트(15)는 복사용이나 프린터용 용지를 적층하여 적재한다.The paper feed cassette 15 stacks and stacks paper for copying and printer.

피드롤러(12)는 급지카세트(15)에 적재된 용지(1)를 가압하여 맨 위에 적재되어 있는 용지(1)와 피드롤러(12) 사이의 마찰력으로 용지(1)를 프린터나 복사기의 본체로 이송한다. 여기서, 피드롤러(12)에 의한 마찰력과 급지카세트(15)의 용지 진행방향에 있는 벽면(급지카세트의 전면벽)의 저항력의 작용에 의해 맨 위에 있는 용지 한 장이 분리되어 본체로 이송된다.The feed roller 12 presses the paper 1 loaded on the paper feed cassette 15, and presses the paper 1 by the frictional force between the paper 1 loaded on the top and the feed roller 12, so that the body of the printer or copier Transfer to. Here, a sheet of paper at the top is separated and conveyed to the main body by the action of the frictional force of the feed roller 12 and the resistance of the wall surface (front wall of the paper feed cassette) in the paper traveling direction of the paper feed cassette 15.

녹업판은 급지카세트(15)의 바닥에 설치되며, 일측은 힌지결합되어 있고, 타측은 압축스프링 등의 탄성부재에 의해 탄성지지되어 있어, 용지(1)를 피드롤러(12)에 대해 가압한다. 따라서 계속된 인쇄로 인해 용지(1)가 소모되더라도 피드롤러(12)와 용지(1) 사이의 마찰력이 유지되어진다.The knockup plate is installed at the bottom of the paper feed cassette 15, one side is hinged, and the other side is elastically supported by an elastic member such as a compression spring to press the paper 1 against the feed roller 12. . Thus, even if the paper 1 is consumed due to the continuous printing, the friction force between the feed roller 12 and the paper 1 is maintained.

가이드판(13)은 급지카세트(15)의 일측벽, 또는 양측벽에 설치되는 판상의부재로 도전성이 좋은 금속재료로 만들어진다. 이 가이드판(13)은 급지카세트(15)에 적재된 용지(1)가 원활하게 본체내로 이송되도록 안내한다.The guide plate 13 is a plate-like member provided on one side wall or both side walls of the paper feed cassette 15, and is made of a highly conductive metal material. The guide plate 13 guides the paper 1 loaded in the paper feed cassette 15 to be smoothly conveyed into the main body.

또한, 가이드판(13)은 프린터나 복사기의 접지단자(9)에 연결되어 있기 때문에, 피드롤러(12)와 용지(1)와의 마찰에 의해 발생하는 정전기, 용지(1)가 피드롤러(12)에 의해 용지들 사이에서 분리될 때 발생하는 정전기 및 용지(1) 자체가 함유하고 있는 정전기 등은 용지(1)의 양측면을 통해 가이드판(13)으로 흐르게 되고 이어서 프린트나 복사기의 접지단자(9)를 통해 빠져나가게 된다.In addition, since the guide plate 13 is connected to the ground terminal 9 of the printer or copier, the static electricity generated by the friction between the feed roller 12 and the paper 1 and the paper 1 are fed to the feed roller 12. Static electricity generated when the paper is separated between the sheets and the static electricity contained in the sheet 1 flows to the guide plate 13 through both sides of the sheet 1, and then to the grounding terminal of the print or copier ( Through 9).

정전기 제거수단은 제전브러쉬(21)와 접지선(23)을 구비한다.The static electricity removing means includes an antistatic brush 21 and a ground line 23.

제전브러쉬(21)는 몸체(21a)와 브러쉬(21b)를 포함하며, 피드롤러(12)의 양측에 설치된다.The antistatic brush 21 includes a body 21a and a brush 21b and is installed at both sides of the feed roller 12.

제전브러쉬(21)는 피드롤러의 축(12a)과 동축상에 상호간에 상대운동을 할 수 있도록 조립되어 있다. 즉, 피드롤러축(12a)이 제전브러쉬 몸체(21a)에 삽입되어 회전할 수 있도록 결합되어 있다. 브러쉬(21b)는 자중에 의해 용지(1)의 상면에 접촉하고 있다.The antistatic brush 21 is assembled to allow relative movement between the shaft 12a and the coaxial shaft of the feed roller. That is, the feed roller shaft 12a is inserted into the antistatic brush body 21a and coupled to rotate. The brush 21b is in contact with the upper surface of the paper 1 by its own weight.

접지선(23)은 제전브러쉬 몸체(21a)의 일측을 급지카세트(15)에 마련된 가이드판(13)의 접지와 연결하여 제전브러쉬(21)를 통해 흐르는 정전기가 접지단자(9)로 빠져나가도록 한다.The ground wire 23 connects one side of the antistatic brush body 21a with the ground of the guide plate 13 provided in the paper feed cassette 15 so that static electricity flowing through the antistatic brush 21 escapes to the ground terminal 9. do.

이하, 상기와 같은 구성요소를 갖는 본 발명에 의한 정전기 제거수단을 구비한 급지장치의 작용을 설명한다.Hereinafter, the operation of the paper feeding device including the static electricity removing means according to the present invention having the above components will be described.

급지카세트(15)에 용지(1)를 적재하면, 녹업판이 적재된 용지(1)를피드롤러(12)를 향해 가압하여 피드롤러(12)와 용지(1) 사이에 마찰력이 발생한다. 그러면 피드롤러(12)가 회전하면서 상기의 마찰력으로 용지(1)를 분리하여 본체내로 이송한다.When the paper 1 is loaded in the paper feed cassette 15, the paper 1 on which the knock up plate is loaded is pressed against the feed roller 12 to generate a friction force between the feed roller 12 and the paper 1. Then, as the feed roller 12 rotates, the paper 1 is separated and conveyed into the main body by the frictional force.

이때, 급지카세트(15) 측벽에 있는 가이드판(13)이 용지(1)의 안내역할을 하면서 용지(1)의 양측면과 접촉하고 있기 때문에 용지(1)에 발생한 정전기를 접지하여 제거한다.At this time, since the guide plate 13 on the side of the paper feed cassette 15 is in contact with both sides of the paper 1 while serving as a guide of the paper 1, the static electricity generated in the paper 1 is grounded and removed.

또한, 피드롤러(12)의 양측에 설치된 제전브러쉬(21)가 용지(1)를 폭방향으로 접촉하고 있기 때문에, 용지(1)에 발생한 정전기를 용지(1)의 피드롤러(12) 접촉부부터 끝단까지 계속적으로 접지하여 제거한다.In addition, since the static elimination brush 21 provided on both sides of the feed roller 12 is in contact with the paper 1 in the width direction, the static electricity generated in the paper 1 starts from the contact portion of the feed roller 12 of the paper 1. Continue grounding to the end and remove.

제전브러쉬(21)에 의해 접지된 정전기는 접지선(23)을 통해 가이드판(13)에 접속되고, 결국 가이드판(13)의 접지라인을 따라 프린터나 복사기의 접지단자(9)로 빠져나가게 된다.The static electricity grounded by the antistatic brush 21 is connected to the guide plate 13 through the ground wire 23, and eventually exits to the ground terminal 9 of the printer or copier along the ground line of the guide plate 13. .

즉, 본 발명에 의한 정전기 제거수단을 구비한 급지장치는 용지(1)의 측면뿐만 아니라, 용지(1)의 폭방향으로도 접지되어 있기 때문에, 피드롤러(12)와 용지(1)와의 마찰에 의해 발생하는 정전기, 용지(1)가 피드롤러(12)에 의해 용지들 사이에서 분리될 때 발생하는 정전기 및 용지(1) 자체가 함유하고 있는 정전기가 종래의 급지장치보다 효율적으로 접지되어 제거된다.That is, since the paper feeding device including the static electricity removing means according to the present invention is grounded not only in the side surface of the paper 1 but also in the width direction of the paper 1, friction between the feed roller 12 and the paper 1 is achieved.
