3中任一者輸入至印刷資料儲存器1 4並 來。 φ 當印刷操作被指示時,印刷控制器1 3根據計數 的印刷次數計數値而計算記錄紙張2 3的總饋送量, 總饋送量驅動馬達1 9。齒輪3 1藉由此馬達以逆時 旋轉對應於此計數値的角度。藉此,彈簧圈3 3的端 向上移動,且分離平板28的尖端28a移至接觸位置 尖端2 8 a接觸紙張捲筒2 0的外圍表面。此時,紙 2 0的外圍表面被尖端2 8 a以固定的下壓力量壓住。 當紙張捲筒2 0藉由馬達1 8而順時針旋轉時,紙端 φ 並自外圍表面分離。被分離的紙端沿著分離平板2 8 並經由一紙張饋送部1 1 a供應至印刷部1 2。 紙端分離後,分離平板2 8自接觸位置移至縮回 特別地’當馬達1 9被印刷控制器1 3驅動而以順時 旋轉齒輪3 1時,彈簧圈3 3的端部3 3 a向下移動, 平板2 8移至縮回位置。因此,紙張捲筒2 0以分離: 的尖端2 8 a自外圍表面縮回的狀態而旋轉。在此狀 記錄紙張2 3連續饋送至印刷機1 〇,且印刷操作被| 在上述實施例中,彈簧圈3 3做爲偏向工具。然 28a首 ,紙張 分離平 端自紙 印刷資 儲存起 器顯示 並根據 針方向 部3 3a ,其中 張捲筒 之後, 被抬起 移動, 位置。 針方向 且分離 甲板28 態中, 冬動。 而,偏 -11- I · 1295234 向工具並不限於彈簧圈。彈簧板或其他具有類似彈簧性質 的彈性材料亦可被使用。 在上述實施例中,總饋送量乃由印刷次數的計數値而 計算。紙張捲筒20的直徑便根據此總饋送量而計算。馬達 1 9乃根據此計算的捲筒直徑而控制。注意可藉由使用具有 光學感測器的距離測量裝置取代此計算,而測量捲筒直徑。 在上述實施例中,彈簧圈3 3的端部3 3 a乃藉由馬達 1 9經由齒輪3 1而移動。然而,端部3 3 a可手動地移動。 φ 例如如第5圖所示,一類似扇形的彈簧鉤元件4 5固定於一 被固定而不旋轉的支持軸44。在彈簧鉤元件4 5中,複數 個卡合槽4 5 a以固定間隔形成於圓周方向。根據紙張捲筒 使用量,彈簧圈4 6之一端部4 6 a的位置藉由連續變換端部 46a在複數卡合槽45a內的位置,而逐步改變。 在第6圖所示的實施例中,一端部分離機構5 1由一分 離平板5 2、一固持塊5 5用於固持住分離平板5 2、一彈簧 圈5 3用於經由固持塊5 5以一接近固定的下壓力量將分離 $平板52偏向紙張捲筒20、以及一在上下方向移動的變換 機構5 4所構成。分離平板5 2藉由變換機構5 4經由彈簧圈 5 3而在上下方向直線移動。藉此,分離平板5 2在一接觸 位置(其中尖端52a接觸紙張捲筒20的外圍表面)及一縮回 位置(其中尖端52a自外圍表面縮回)之間移動。 雖然本發明已藉由其較佳實施例並參照所附圖示而完 全地描述,對熟習該項技術者而言,明顯的有各式變化及 壽 範 的 明 發 本 了 離 脫 飾。 修中 及明 化發 變本 些在 這含 非包 除爲 , 釋 此解 因應 。 均 目〈 修否 -12- 1295234 【圖式簡單說明】 第1圖爲一說明圖’顯示包含本發明之紙張饋、送設備 之一印刷機; 第2圖爲一側視圖,顯示端部分離機構; 第3A圖爲一前視圖,顯不一分離平板接觸具有小捲筒 直徑的紙張捲筒,且第3 B圖爲一前視圖’顯不此分離平板 自具有大捲筒直徑的紙張捲同縮回, 第4圖爲一説;明圖,顯示紙張前端自紙張捲筒分離; φ 第5圖爲一前視圖,顯示一實施例,其中分離平板的 下壓力量可調整;且 第6圖爲一說明圖’顯示端部分離機構的另一實施例。 【主要元件符號說明】 PC 1 〜3 終 端 機 10 印 刷 機 11 紙 張 饋 送 部 Ha 紙 張 饋 送 部 12 印 刷部 13 印 刷 控 制 器 14 印 刷 資 料 儲 存器 15 計 數 器 17 紙 張 捲 筒 單 元 1 8,1 9 馬 達 20 紙 張 捲 筒 21 捲 筒 固 持 器 22 核 心 -13- 12952341295234. IX. Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to the use of feeding a recording paper by separating a front end of a recording sheet from a recording sheet. [Prior Art] Conventionally, a conventional paper feeding device has a one-end separator by feeding a recording paper to a reel via a sheet feeding portion and winding the continuous recording sheet into a roll-shaped sheet feeding device. 'It touches the paper surface to separate the leading end of the recording paper from the paper roll. The one end splitter of the publication No. 11-011750, such as a spring coil or the like, is biased toward the paper roll, and the tip end contacts the peripheral surface of the paper roll. As the barrel rotates, its front end is separated by the tip of the end separator. The leading end of the separated paper roll is borrowed from the paper feed portion. However, when the diameter of the paper roll is reduced, the amount of downward pressure of the aforementioned roll is reduced. Therefore, the end separation is reduced. In addition, when the diameter of the paper roll is large, the end separation performance is good. However, during the printing process, the end portion is pressed against the paper roll by the same amount of downward pressure. The knot is subjected to an excessive amount of downforce and may cause printing failure of the recording sheet such as a printed streak. The peripheral surface of the cylinder feeds the sheet of paper into a paper roll printing section, this paper type. The peripheral table of this type of paper roll is disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 1 by an offset assembly in the end separator state, when the paper roll is slightly lifted and separated from the paper by a guide portion. Separating performance of the paper separator The toilet separator has a good separator to possibly damage the end paper pulp, or may be 1295234. [Invention] It is an object of the present invention to provide a paper feeding device, a drum diameter of the cylinder , all have stable separation performance. Another object of the present invention is to provide a paper feeding device for recording damage on paper and printing failure. In order to achieve the above and other objects of the present invention, the paper comprises an end portion separating portion capable of contacting a peripheral portion of the paper roll for holding the end portion separation portion, and an offset portion for the partial portion. The end separation portion separates the recording from the peripheral surface of the paper roll. The retaining portion moves the separation portion into contact with the peripheral surface in accordance with a peripheral diameter of the paper roll. The offset portion is brought into contact with the peripheral surface with a near fix. The end separating portion is a separating plate having a wedge-shaped end portion, a holding arm for holding the separating plate, and a supporting ground supporting arm. The retaining arm is movable between a contact position (where Φ - approaching the peripheral surface near a fixed angle) and a retracted position (the plate is retracted from the paper roll). The offset contains a support axis. The coil has a second end that is coupled to the first end of the retaining arm for movement. The amount of rotation of the holding arm and the separation plate are adjusted by the position of the second end. The offset portion includes a fixed to the support shaft and a motor for rotating the support shaft. The two ends are engaged with the spring hook elements. According to the total feed amount, the horse controls 'and the spring force of the coil is adjusted. In one embodiment of the present invention, a stationary cartridge is included, which prevents the sheet feeding device face and the holding end from separating the front end of the sheet, and the amount of depression of the end portion. The retaining portion encloses a shaft which is rotatably disengageable for positioning (where the spring ring surround portion is separated, and the lower rotation amount of the spring hook element spring ring is rotated by the reed member. 1295234 in the stationary spring hook element Forming a plurality of engaging grooves for adjusting the elastic force of the spring ring. The second end of the spring ring is mounted to one of the engaging grooves. In another embodiment of the present invention, a holding portion is at a contact position (where the separating plate contacts the peripheral surface at a nearly fixed angle) and a retracted position (where the separating plate is retracted from the paper roll). An offset portion includes a spring ring. The spring ring has a connection a first end portion to the holding position and a second end portion linearly movable. The position of the holding portion and the amount of downward pressure of the separating plate are adjusted according to the position of the second end portion of the spring ring. The objects and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention. FIG. 1 and FIG. A paper feeding unit 11 and a printing unit 1 2 perform a printing operation according to the printing material, a printing controller 13 for controlling the paper feeding unit 1 1 and the printing unit 1 2, and a printing data storage unit 1 4 for The plurality of terminals PC 1 to PC 3 store print data, and are disposed in a printer 10 in φ and the like. The paper feed unit Π has a paper carrying chamber, and a paper roll unit 17 is removably The paper roll unit 1 is in the form of a roll by winding the continuous recording paper 23. The printing controller 13 inputs the printed material stored in the printed data storage unit 14 to the printing unit 1 2 And printing is performed by supplying the recording paper 2 3 to the printing unit 12 from the paper feeding unit 11. At this time, the driving of the motors 18 and 19 is performed by the printing controller 13 via a driver (not shown). The paper roll unit 17 includes a paper roll 20 and a pair of roll holders 2 1. The paper roll 20 is wound by a continuous recording paper 2 3 in a hollow cylindrical core of, for example, 1295234 diameter 60 mm. Formed around 22 weeks. When the paper roll 20 is new The diameter of the paper reel 20 is 150 mm. The pair of reel holders .2 1 are connected to the two ends of the core 2 2 so that the pair of reel holders 2 1 hold the paper reel 2 0, and rotates with the core 22. The pair of shafts 2 4 protrude from the outside of the pair of reel holders 2. The pair of shafts 24 are rotatably engaged with a pair of bearings 25, and the bearings are fixed to the paper carrying chamber The inner wall of the shaft 2 is connected to the motor 18 via a transmission mechanism. When the reel holder 2 1 is rotated by the motor 18, the paper reel 20 is rotated in the clockwise direction. Around the periphery of the periphery of the substrate 7 and on both sides of the passage of the paper fed to the printing portion 12, a guide plate 26 is disposed for guiding the separation of the recording paper 2 from the paper roll 20. In one of the sheet feeding passages, one of the one end separating mechanisms 27 is disposed to separate the flat plate 28. The end separating mechanism 27 is thus composed of a separating plate 28, a holding arm 29, a support shaft 30, a gear 3 1 , a spring hook member 3 2, a coil 3 3 and the like. Before the recording sheet 2 3 is fed, the end separating mechanism 27 separates the leading end of the recording sheet 23 from the peripheral surface of the sheet reel 20 by bringing the separation flat plate 28 into contact with the peripheral surface of the sheet reel 20. The spring hook element 3 2 is fixed to the support shaft 30. The separating plate 28 and the holding arm 29 are connected by a fixing rod 35 to be bent into an L shape. In this configuration, even when the diameter of the roll of the paper roll 20 is changed, the tip end 28 8 of the separation flat plate 28 can contact the peripheral surface of the paper roll 20 at a fixed angle. The width of the separation plate 28 corresponds to the twist of the recording paper 23. The tip end 28 8 of the separation plate 28 forms a wedge shape. The thickness of the tip end 28 8 is thinner than the thickness of the recording sheet 23. Note that the width of the separation plate 28 can be shorter than that of the recording paper 23. Further, a separation plate 28 having a width of about half of the recording paper 2 3 .1295234 may be disposed on one side of the paper roll 20 to be in contact with the paper roll 20. In the holding arm 29, a shaft hole 2 9 a is provided at the opposite end (connection end) of the fixing rod 35. The support shaft 30 is rotatably inserted via the shaft hole 2 9 a '. A gear 3 1 is fixed to the support shaft 30. In the central portion of the holding arm 29, an engaging groove 29b is provided. One end portion 33b of the coil 33 is engaged with the engaging groove 29b. The gear 3 1 is rotated by the motor 19. As the gear 3 1 rotates, the spring hook element 3 2 rotates together with the support shaft 30. The spring hook member 3 2 is fixed to the support shaft 30 by a screw 34. A groove 32a is formed in the spring hook member 32. The other end portion 33a of the coil 33 is hooked to the groove 32a. As described above, the end portion 3 3 b of the coil 3 3 is engaged to the rotatable holding arm 209. The other end 3 3 a of the coil 3 3 is hooked to the spring hook element 3 2 . The ring portion 3 3 c of the spring ring 3 3 surrounds the support shaft 30. As a result, the separation plate 28 is biased toward the paper roll 20 by a predetermined downward pressure amount via the holding arm 29 by the elastic force of the spring ring 33. φ Recording paper roll 20 will change the diameter when used. In the present invention, the position of the end portion 3 3 a of the spring ring 3 3 is adjusted by rotating the spring hook member 32 with the gear 3 1 . Thereby, the separating plate 28 is moved between a contact position (see Figs. 1 and 3A in which the tip end 28a contacts the peripheral surface of the sheet reel 20) and a retracted position (see Fig. 3B). Even if the diameter of the paper roll 20 is changed, the tip end 28 8 of the separating plate 28 will contact the peripheral surface of the paper roll 20 with a predetermined amount of downward pressure. The function of the end separating mechanism 27 will be described in detail. As shown in Fig. 3A, when the gear 3 1 is rotated counterclockwise 'for example, θ 1 , the spring hook member 3 2 1295234 coincides with the above rotation, and rotates θ 1 around the support shaft 30 in the counterclockwise direction. At this time, the end portion 3 3 a of the coil 3 3 moves upward, so that the separating plate 28 and the holding arm 29 are moved toward the paper roll 20 by the elastic force of the spring ring 3, and the tip end 28 8a and the paper roll The peripheral surface of the can 20 is in contact (contact position). In the contact position, the separating plate 28 presses the peripheral surface with a fixed amount of downward pressure. As shown in Fig. 3B, when the gear 3 1 is rotated by Θ 2 in the clockwise direction (θ 1 > Θ 2 ), the end portion 3 3 a moves downward. Therefore, the spring force of the coil 3 3 is reduced, so that the separation plate 28 is moved to the retracted position, in which the separation plate 28 is retracted from the paper roll 20. The tip end 28 8 a is removed from the peripheral surface by a vertical distance L 1 . Therefore, the amount of depression of the coil 33 is changed by adjusting the position of the end portion 3 3 a of the coil 33, so that the tip end 28 a of the separation plate 28 is pressed against the peripheral surface of the sheet reel 20 with a fixed amount of depression. . As a result, the separation performance becomes stable irrespective of the diameter of the paper roll 20. The position adjustment method of the end portion 3 3 a of the coil 3 3 will be explained. In the printing controller 13, a counter 15 is provided for counting the number of times of printing. The counter 15 counts the number of times of printing, that is, the number of times the φ brush command signal is input to the printing unit 12 after the paper roll 20 is replaced. Since the printing size is fixed, the printing controller 13 calculates the total feeding amount (the amount to be used) of the recording paper 2 3 based on this counting ,, and generates the driving pulse of the motor 19 based on the total feeding amount. Then, the printing controller 13 inputs the drive pulse to a driver (not shown) and controls the motor 19 with a high degree of precision. By this control, the spring hook member 32 is rotated by a predetermined angle in a predetermined direction to adjust the position of the end portion 3 3 a of the coil 3 3 . Referring to Fig. 4, the process of separating the leading end of the recording sheet 2 3 from the sheet reel 20 will be described. When the paper roll 20 is rotated in a state where the paper end is connected to the peripheral surface of the paper roll -10- 1295234 2 0, the tip end of the separation flat plate 28 first contacts the paper end. Then, when the paper roll 2 is further rotated, the outermost surface of the roll 20 is loosened, and the leading end of the paper is lifted up to the upper surface of the plate 28 (the state shown by the broken line). Therefore, the peripheral surface of the recording sheet preceding roll 20 is separated and supplied to the printing portion 12. Next, the operation of the above assembly will be described. Before printing, the material is input from any of P C s 1 - 3 to the print data storage unit 14 . φ When the printing operation is instructed, the printing controller 13 calculates the total feeding amount of the recording paper 23 based on the counted number of printing times ,, and the total feeding amount drives the motor 19. The gear 3 1 is rotated by the motor in this manner to counterclockwise the angle corresponding to this count 値. Thereby, the end of the coil 3 3 is moved upward, and the tip end 28a of the separating plate 28 is moved to the contact position. The tip end 28 8 a contacts the peripheral surface of the sheet reel 20. At this time, the peripheral surface of the paper 20 is pressed by the tip end 28 a with a fixed amount of depression. When the paper roll 20 is rotated clockwise by the motor 18, the paper end φ is separated from the peripheral surface. The separated paper ends are supplied to the printing portion 12 along the separation plate 28 and via a sheet feeding portion 1 1 a. After the separation of the paper ends, the separation plate 28 is moved from the contact position to the retraction. In particular, when the motor 19 is driven by the printing controller 13 to rotate the gear 3 1 clockwise, the end 3 3 a of the spring ring 3 3 Move down and the plate 2 8 moves to the retracted position. Therefore, the paper roll 20 is rotated in a state where the tip end 28 8 of the separation: is retracted from the peripheral surface. In this case, the recording paper 2 3 is continuously fed to the printer 1 〇, and the printing operation is | In the above embodiment, the coil 3 3 is used as a biasing tool. However, at the beginning of 28a, the paper separation flat end is displayed from the paper printing storage device and is moved up and moved according to the needle direction portion 3 3a , after which the roll is rolled. The direction of the needle and the separation of the deck 28 state, winter movement. However, the -11-I · 1295234 tool is not limited to the coil. Spring plates or other resilient materials with similar spring properties can also be used. In the above embodiment, the total feed amount is calculated from the count 値 of the number of prints. The diameter of the paper roll 20 is calculated based on this total feed amount. The motor 1 9 is controlled based on the calculated diameter of the reel. Note that the reel diameter can be measured by replacing this calculation with a distance measuring device having an optical sensor. In the above embodiment, the end portion 3 3 a of the coil 3 3 is moved by the motor 19 via the gear 31. However, the end portion 3 3 a can be manually moved. φ For example, as shown in Fig. 5, a fan-like spring hook member 45 is fixed to a support shaft 44 that is fixed and not rotated. In the spring hook member 45, a plurality of engaging grooves 45a are formed at a fixed interval in the circumferential direction. Depending on the amount of paper roll used, the position of one end portion 4 6 a of the spring ring 46 is gradually changed by continuously changing the position of the end portion 46a in the plurality of engaging grooves 45a. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 6, the one end separating mechanism 51 is composed of a separating plate 5, a holding block 55 for holding the separating plate 5, and a spring ring 5 3 for holding the block 5 5 The separation plate 54 is biased toward the paper roll 20 and a shifting mechanism 54 that moves in the up and down direction at a nearly constant downward pressure. The separation plate 5 2 is linearly moved in the vertical direction by the change mechanism 5 4 via the coil 5 3 . Thereby, the separating plate 52 moves between a contact position in which the tip end 52a contacts the peripheral surface of the paper roll 20 and a retracted position in which the tip end 52a is retracted from the peripheral surface. Although the present invention has been fully described by the preferred embodiments thereof and with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is obvious that those skilled in the art have a variety of variations and longevity.
