Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a sheet moving system and, more particularly, to a sheet moving system having a variable velocity.
- 2. Prior Art
- Many different sheet registration devices are known in the sheet feeding art. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,543,909 discloses a stalled roll registration apparatus and method used as the sole timing adjustment in a paper path which includes a clutch or motor driven registration nip, a buckle chamber and two sensors. As machine speed moves up, electronic registration methods are used but can be costly in comparison to a stalled roll registration apparatus and method. Electronic registration methods are used because with the increase in machine speed, the velocity at which the sheet impacts a registration nip in a stalled roll registration apparatus is sufficient to damage the sheet or sufficient to push the lead edge through the nip thereby degrading lead edge registration performance. There is a desire to provide a sheet moving system which provides an increase in machine speed but with the use of a low cost stalled roll registration apparatus.
- In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a stalled roll registration system is provided for use in a document creating apparatus. A first drive is provided that has an idler roll and a drive roll for driving sheets of material at a variable velocity. A second drive is positioned downstream of the first drive that has an idler roll and a drive roll that is adapted for intermittent driving. A controller is connected to the first drive and adapted to vary the velocity. While the sheet of material contacts the first drive, the drive velocity is decreased before the sheet of material contacts the second drive, and the drive velocity is increased after the sheet of material contacts the second drive.
- In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, a document creating apparatus is provided comprising an image transfer system and a transport system for transporting sheets of material. The transport system has a first and second drive for moving the sheets of material. A controller is connected to the first drive and adapted to vary velocity of the first drive. While a sheet of material contacts the first drive, the controller decreases the velocity before the sheet of material contacts the second drive, and increases the velocity after the sheet of material contacts the second drive.
- In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, a method of moving a sheet of material in a document creating apparatus is provided comprising a first step of driving a first drive at a velocity to move the sheet. When a leading edge of the sheet approaches a second drive, the first drive velocity is decreased. After the sheet of material contacts the second drive, the first drive velocity is increased.
- The foregoing aspects and other features of the present invention are explained in the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a document creating apparatus;
- FIG. 2 is a schematic elevation view of a xerographic processing or printing section;
- FIG. 3 is a schematic side view of a registration system;
- FIG. 4 is a schematic side view of a registration system with a sheet of material approaching a second drive;
- FIG. 5 is a schematic side view of a registration system with sheet of material in contact with a second drive;
- FIG. 6 is a time chart of the velocity of the first and second drive rolls;
- FIG. 7 is a time chart of the velocity of the lead edge of a sheet of material.
- Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown, in schematic form, a view of a
document creating apparatus 2 for creating documents in accordance with teachings of the present invention. Although the present invention will be described with reference to the single embodiment shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be embodied in many alternate forms of embodiments. In addition, any suitable size, shape or type of elements or materials could be used. A copying or printing system of the type shown is preferably adapted to provide duplex or simplex stacked document sets from duplex or simplex collated document or print sets which result from either duplex or simplex original documents or output document computer files for print. -
Document creating apparatus 2, in the embodiment shown, is a copier. However, in an alternate embodiment, the apparatus could be a printer or any other suitable type of document creating apparatus.Document creating apparatus 2 generally comprises a xerographic processing orprinting section 3, afinishing section 6 and anoutput section 9.Printing section 3 can be an electrostatographic printing system such as made by Xerox Corporation or alternately other xerographic or other type of printing apparatus.Printing section 3 incorporates an image transfer system and a transport system for transporting sheets of material. Finishingsection 6 may typically incorporate a hole punch, a stapler, or any other suitable type of feature known in the art.Output section 9 incorporates atray 11 or a bin sorter that accepts and stacks documents or document sets output fromfinishing section 6 atoutput zone 12. Documents are printed or copied inprinting section 3 and output fromprinting section 3 to finishingsection 6. Documents can be sorted and bound atfinishing section 6. Document sets can be output fromfinishing section 6 atoutput zone 12. - Referring now also to FIG. 2, there is shown is a schematic elevation view of one embodiment of the xerographic processing or
printing section 3. Theprinting section 3 has aphotoconductive belt 14 that advances in the direction ofarrow 16.Photoconductive belt 14 passes throughcharging station 18 andexposure station 20 which is typically a raster output scanner that transmits a latent image fromcontroller 22 onto the photoconductive surface ofphotoconductive belt 14.Controller 22 gets the image from raster input scanner 24 that typically incorporates a CCD and scans an image fromdocument handler 26 Alternately,controller 22 gets the image from aseparate computer 28 whenprinting section 3 operates as a printing device.Photoconductive belt 14 then advances todevelopment station 30 where toner is electrostatically attracted to the latent image.Photoconductive belt 14 then advances to imagetransfer station 32. A sheet ofmaterial 34 is advanced fromsheet stack 38 orsheet stack 40 by asheet transport system 36 that includesregistration system 42.Registration system 42 has afirst drive 50 and asecond drive 52 that is positioned downstream offirst drive 50.Sheet 34 is advanced toregistration system 42 that registerssheet 34 and then advancessheet 34 pastimage transfer station 32 in a timed fashion. The toner deposited on the latent image ofphotoconductive belt 14 is transferred tosheet 34 due tosheet 34 becoming charged atimage transfer station 32 and due tosheet 34 being registered or timed relative to the latent image.Sheet 34 is then advanced tofusing station 44 bybelt 46 where the toner image is permanently affixed tosheet 34, typically by heating, thus creating a document sheet.Sheet 34 will either be output to a finisher or a stacker or inverted atinverter 48 and recirculated through the printing section to have a second image deposited on its opposite side. Although thesection 3 of theapparatus 2 has been described in detail above, features of the present invention could be used with other types of xerographic processing or printing sections having any suitably blank paper or sheet supply, created document output, image transfer system or paper path. The description above is merely intended to be exemplary. More or less features could also be provided. Althoughregistration system 42 is shown at a fixed position within the copying or printing apparatus, this position is intended to be exemplary and various alternative locations and modifications can be devised by those skilled in the art without departing from the invention. Such an alternative, for example, would be incorporatingregistration system 42 at any point in the paper path of a copying or printing apparatus where the paper path is either upstream or downstream of the printing or copying operation. An additional alternative, for example, would be incorporating belts instead of rollers withinregistration system 42. - Referring now to FIG. 3, there is shown a schematic side view of the
registration system 42 incorporating features of the present invention.Registration system 42 includes thefirst drive 50 and thesecond drive 52. First drive 50 has afirst drive roll 62 and afirst idler roll 64.Second drive 52 has asecond drive roll 66 and asecond idler roll 68. In each instance, the idler and drive rolls are urged against each other to allow sheets to be moved by frictional engagement between them.First drive roll 62 is driven byfirst motor 70.Controller 72 is connected tofirst motor 70.First motor 70 may be directly connected tofirst drive roll 62 or may be connected to additional drives or drive rolls in addition tofirst drive roll 62. Throughfirst motor 70, controller can varyvelocity 74 offirst drive roller 62 either by varying the velocity offirst motor 70, by mechanical speed reduction as with gearing, belt or a clutch, or otherwise.Second drive roll 66 is driven bysecond motor 76, a clutch 78 can be attached betweensecond motor 76 andsecond drive roll 66.Clutch 78 can be connected tocontroller 72. Through clutch 78,controller 72 can intermittently drivesecond drive roll 66 between a stalled state wheresecond drive roll 66 has zero velocity and a driving state wheresecond drive roll 66 has a fixed velocity after it initially accelerates from the engagement ofclutch 78. However, in an alternate embodiment, the clutch might not be provided. Theregistration system 42 further comprises asheet sensor 82baffles buckle chamber 89, and abuckle chamber sensor 91. As thesheet 80 enters theregistration system 42, it is contacted by the tworolls first drive 50 and advanced by the first drive along the paper path toward thesecond drive 52 as indicated byarrow 90. Sheet ofmaterial 80 is driven byfirst drive 50 at a velocity that is proportional tovelocity 74. Referring also to FIGS. 6 and 7, the velocities of the drive rolls 62, 66 and thelead edge 84 of thesheet 80 are shown on a time chart. The velocity of thedrive roll 62 initially starts at zero and accelerates to a predetermined first velocity V1. Alternately, the velocity of thedrive roll 62 initially may be running at a predetermined first velocity V1. Thelead edge 84 of thesheet 80 enters thefirst drive 50 at time T1 and travels forward at velocity V1. Referring also to FIG. 4, attime T2 sensor 82 is triggered by thesheet 80. Thesensor 82 could be any type of suitable sensor, such as an optical sensor for example.Sensor 82 detects when sheet ofmaterial 80 passes it and sends a signal tocontroller 72.Controller 72 is shown as a single controller, but may alternately be individual controllers, or logic circuits or part of an overall machine controller.Controller 72 reducesvelocity 74 offirst drive roller 62 whensensor 82 detectslead edge 84 as shown. Alternately, ifsensor 82 is further upstream of the paper path,controller 72 will reducevelocity 74 offirst drive roller 62 after a delay from the time whensensor 82 detectslead edge 84 or trailingedge 96. In this manner,sensor 82 may be placed upstream or downstream relative to driveroller 62. Whenvelocity 74 offirst drive roller 62 is reduced to about velocity V2, velocity ofsheet 80 that is proportional tovelocity 74 is also reduced. As a result, the velocity of thelead edge 84 of sheet ofmaterial 80 will be reduced to about V2 and thelead edge 84 of sheet ofmaterial 80 will not be damaged when it makes contact with non-moving or stalledsecond drive 52. - Referring also to FIG. 5, sheet of
material 80 is driven byfirst drive 50 at velocity V2 pastsensor 82 intosecond drive 52 whilesecond drive 52 is in the stalled state. If sheet ofmaterial 80 was to contact non-moving or stalled second drive 52 at velocity V1,lead edge 84 could be damaged. To reduce the risk of damage to leadedge 84 at higher speed operation, the velocity of sheet ofmaterial 80 is reduced to levels (i.e.: velocity V2) just beforelead edge 84 contacts the non-moving or stalled second drive 52 that do not produce damage to leadedge 84 as described herein. Leadedge 84 of sheet ofmaterial 80 comes up against the non-moving or stalled second drive 52 by time T3. Thus, at time T3 the velocity of thelead edge 84 has been reduced to zero. Becauselead edge 84 is stopped and thedrive 50 is continuing to move thesheet 80, the sheet buckles in thechamber 89. Thesensor 91 can sense when a predetermined sheet buckling has occurred, such as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,775,690 which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. However, any suitable delay system or system for activating thesecond drive 52 could be provided. After time T3, the velocity of thedrive roll 62 can remain at V2 or start to increase back to Vi. At time T4, when thesensor 91 senses that the predetermined sheet buckling has occurred (or an otherwise delay from time T3), thecontroller 72 activates themotor 76 and clutch 78 such that the velocity of thedrive roll 66 increases from zero towards V1. Through clutch 78,controller 72 can intermittently drivesecond drive roll 66 between a stalled state wheresecond drive roll 66 has zero velocity and a driving state wheresecond drive roll 66 has an increased velocity after it initially accelerates from the engagement ofclutch 78. -
Controller 72 is shown as a single controller, but may alternately be individual controllers, or logic circuits or part of an overall machine controller. After sheet ofmaterial 80 is deskewed withsecond drive 52 as described herein, andsheet 80 is registered or timed relative to the printing, copying or handling operation thensheet 80 is advanced withsecond drive 52. At time T5 thesecond drive roll 66 could reach velocity V1 andlead edge 84 would resume its movement at velocity V1. At time T6 (that may occur after time T3 but before, during or after time T4) thecontroller 72 could increase the velocity ofdrive roll 62 back to V1.Controller 72 intermittently drivessecond drive roll 66 from the stalled state wheresecond drive roll 66 has zero velocity to a driving state wheresecond drive roll 66 preferably has a fixedvelocity 94 after it initially accelerates from the engagement ofclutch 78. In this manner,sheet 80 is driven and handled within the printing, copying or handling operation in a registered and deskewed fashion by registration system 56. Sheet ofmaterial 80 is driven byfirst drive 50past sensor 82 intosecond drive 52 whilesecond drive 52 is in the stalled state.Sensor 82 detects when sheet ofmaterial 80 passes it and sends a signal tocontroller 72. Sheet ofmaterial 80 is deskewed as the body of sheet ofmaterial 80 pivots about in the buckle chamber formed bybaffles lead edge 84 could be damaged. To eliminate damage to leadedge 84, while still maintaining higher speed operation of the system, the velocity of sheet ofmaterial 80 is temporarily reduced to levels that do not produce damage to leadedge 84 just beforelead edge 84 contacts the non-moving or stalledsecond drive 52. To reduce the velocity of sheet ofmaterial 80 to levels that do not produce damage to leadedge 84,controller 72 reducesvelocity 74 offirst drive roller 62 whensensor 82 detectslead edge 84. Alternately, ifsensor 82 is further upstream of the paper path,controller 72 will reducevelocity 74 offirst drive roller 62 after a delay from the time whensensor 82 detectslead edge 84 or trailingedge 96. In this manner,sensor 82 may be placed upstream or downstream relative to driveroller 62. After a period of time during which sheet ofmaterial 80 is deskewed and in contact with non moving or stalled second drive 52 as described herein,controller 72increases velocity 74 offirst drive roller 62. In this manner, leadedge 84 of sheet ofmaterial 80 will not be damaged yet the apparatus incorporatingregistration system 42 may be operated at higher speed overall as compared to existing stalled roll approaches. As a result, there is provided a sheet moving system which provides an increase in machine speed, but with the use of a low cost stalled roll registration apparatus such as described byregistration system 42. - It should be understood that the foregoing description is only illustrative of the invention. Various alternatives and modifications can be devised by those skilled in the art without departing from the invention. Accordingly, the present invention is intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications and variances which fall within the scope of the appended claims.
