Definitions
- the present invention relates to a feeding mechanism for a sheet material and a recording apparatus using such a mechanism.
- a printer, a copying machine, a facsimile apparatus, and other recording apparatuses are of such a structure that its recording head is driven in accordance with recording information to record images on a recording sheet such as a paper or plastic sheet.
- the recording sheet is being fed automatically by a sheet feeding device besides its manual set for insertion.
- the sheet feeding device is provided with a feed driving unit for feeding a recording sheet by rotating the feed roller, and an discharge tray unit for stacking the recorded sheets which have been discharged.
- the arrangement is made for this device so that by utilizing the driving force for the carrier system of the recording apparatus, the foregoing feed driving unit is driven to feed the foregoing recording sheets one by one separately.
- the sheet feeding device carries the recording sheet to be discharged while depressing the recording surface of the recording sheet with a discharge roller or a spur directly, there may be some cases where the traces of the roller or other marks remain on the recorded portion. Also, in a case of an ink jet recording apparatus or the like where ink liquid is ejected for recording, the roller depresses the inked surface to cause the occurrence of smudges.
- the discharging means is arranged to grip the vicinity of the side margins of a sheet.
- Fig. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a sheet feeding device.
- Fig. 2 is a view schematically illustrating the structure of an ink jet recording apparatus using the foregoing sheet feeding device.
- Fig. 3 is a view for explaining the positional relations between a recording sheet and a discharge roller.
- This apparatus is of such a structure that a recording sheet 2 is fed by feeding means 1 in the direction indicated by an arrow shown in Fig. 2, at the same time being carried with a pair of feeding rollers 3a and 3b for a given recording performed by recording means 4, and then the recording sheet 2 is discharged by discharging means 5.
- the structure of the foregoing feeding means 1 is that when recording sheets 2 are stacked on a feed tray 1a for setting, a recording sheet 2 placed on top thereof is depressed by a feeding roller 1b by means of a spring (not shown). Also, on the feed tray 1a, guide members 1c and 1d are arranged as shown in Fig. 1 to guide both sides of the recording sheet 2 in its width direction. One of the guide members 1c is arranged slidably in the width direction of the recording sheet 2 (direction indicated by an arrow a in Fig. 1). Further, at the lower ends of the guide members 1c and 1d, separation nails 1e are mounted, respectively.
- the foregoing recording sheet 2 thus fed is guided to a paper pan (not shown). Then, it is carried to be U-turned in the direction indicated by arrows in Fig. 2 to arrive at the recording position of the recording means 4.
- the recording means 4 is to record ink images on the recording sheet 2 which has been conveyed.
- the recording means for this device is structured integrally with a line-type recording head 4a and an ink tank 4b and is arranged to use an ink jet recording method such as ejecting ink from the foregoing recording head 4a for recording.
- this recording head 4a is provided with minute liquid discharging ports (orifices), liquid passages, energy activating portions arranged on part of the liquid passages, and energy generating means to generate energy for the formation of liquid droplets to affect liquid in the foregoing activating portions.
- energy generating means for generating such energy as this there are among others a recording method using electrothermal transducers such as piezoelectric elements, a recording method using energy generating means wherein heat generation is effectuated by irradiation of laser or other electromagnetic waves so as to eject liquid droplets by the application of the foregoing exothermic activation, or a recording method using energy generating means wherein liquid is heated by means of electrothermal transducers such as exothermic elements having exothermic resistive members so as to cause the liquid to be ejected.
- the recording head used for the ink jet recording method wherein liquid is ejected by the utilization of thermal energy is capable of allowing its liquid discharging ports (orifices) for ejecting recording liquid droplets for the formation of discharging droplets to be arranged in a high density.
- the recording head using electrothermal transducers as energy generating means can be built compactly with ease, and for such a recording head, it is possible to utilize sufficiently the advantages of the IC technologies and micro-machining techniques which have demonstrated significant improvement in the advancement and reliability of the technologies in the semiconductor field of recent years; hence advantageously enabling a highly precise assembly for such a head with ease at a lower manufacturing cost.
- This recording means 4 selectively ejects ink images onto a recording sheet 2 for recording by energizing the foregoing electrothermal transducers in accordance with image signals in synchronism with the conveyance of the foregoing recording sheet 2.
- the recording sheet 2 on which given recording has been made by the foregoing recording means 4 is discharged by discharging means 5.
- This discharging means 5 is structured, as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, with a discharge driving roller 5a arranged to engage one side of the recording sheet, and two discharging idling rollers 5b and 5c on brackets 5f to be in contact with the sheet on the outer side acting against the foregoing driving roller 5a under pressure by means of a spring or other means (not shown).
- the peripheral velocity of the foregoing discharge driving roller 5a is determined to be slightly faster than that of the feed driving roller 3a so that tension is given to a recording sheet 2 in conveyance.
- the feeding speed of the recording sheet 2 is arranged to follow the rotational speed of the feed driving roller 3a by the transmission of driving force to the foregoing transmission gear 5d through a slipping clutch.
- the structure is arranged so that one of the foregoing discharging free rollers 5b is mounted slidably laterally of the feed direction and when the foregoing guide member 1c slides, the discharging free roller 5b also slides accordingly.
- a wire (belt or the like) 5g is connected to a roller supporting member 5f which supports the discharging free roller 5b rotatively. While this wire 5g is tensioned between pulleys 5h1, 5h2, 5h3, 5h4, 5h5 and 5h6, it is connected to the guide member 1c. Therefore, if the guide member 1c is caused to slide to match the width of a recording sheet 2, the discharging free roller 5b is also allowed to slide in the same direction for the same amount.
- the left and right end sides of the recording sheet 2, in conveyance are guided by the guide members 1c and 1d so as to be fed without any slanting. Then, after a given recording is performed by recording means 4, the discharging free rollers 5b and 5c which are in contact with the recording surface serve to discharge the recording sheet 2 by gripping the marginal portions 2a at all times.
- rollers and others are not in contact with the recording area where ink has not been fixed as yet; thus making it possible to obtain recorded images in high quality by preventing any creation of smudges due to re-transfer of ink and others.
- a structure shown in Fig. 4 is such that a slidable guide member 1c and a discharging free roller 5b are connected to a roller supporting member 5f so that the guide member 1c and the discharging free roller 5b may be adjusted as a unit.
- the discharging idling rollers 5b and 5c are arranged in contact with the recording side of a recording sheet 2, but it may be possible instead to arrange the structure so that driving force is transmitted to the foregoing rollers 5b and 5c while making the roller 5a to be freely rotatable.
- a plate 5i as shown in Fig. 5 is in contact with the rollers 5b and 5c under pressure.
- a material having a small friction coefficient ⁇ such as POM
- a slope 5i1 is formed to provide a wide frontage for the sheet 2 to grip the recording sheet 2 smoothly.
- an ink jet recording method is employed as its recording means. It is more preferable to structure the recording means in such a manner that the electrothermal transducers are energized in accordance with recording signals and then with the thermal energy which becomes applicable by means of the foregoing electrothermal transducers, film boiling occurring in ink is utilized for the development of bubbles in ink and contraction thereof to cause ink droplets to be ejected from the discharging ports for recording.
- the principle is such that at least one driving signal, which provides a rapid temperature rise beyond a departure from nucleation boiling point in response to recording information, is applied to an electrothermal transducer disposed on a liquid (ink) reining sheet or liquid passage whereby to cause the electrothermal transducer to generate thermal energy to produce film boiling on the thermoactive portion of the recording head; thus effectively leading to the resultant formation of a bubble in the recording liquid one to one for each of the driving signals.
- the driving signal is preferably in the form of a pulse because the development and contraction of the bubble can be exerted instantaneously, and therefore, the liquid is ejected with quick response.
- the driving signal in the form of the pulse is preferably such as disclosed in the specifications of U.S. Patent Nos. 4,463,359 and 4,345,262.
- thermoactive surface is preferably such as disclosed in the specification of U.S. Patent No. 4,313,124 for an excellent recording in a better condition.
- the structure of the recording head may be as shown in each of the above-mentioned specifications wherein the structure is arranged to combine the discharging ports, liquid passages, and the electrothermal transducers as disclosed in the above-mentioned patents (linear type liquid passage or right angle liquid passage).
- the structure such as disclosed in the specifications of U.S. Patent Nos. 4,558,333 and 4,459,600 wherein the thermal activation portions are arranged in a curbed area is also included in the present invention.
- the present invention is applicable to the structure disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-123670 wherein a common slit is used as the discharging port for plural electrothermal transducers, and to the structure disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-138461 wherein an opening for absorbing pressure wave of the thermal energy is formed corresponding to the ejecting portion.
- a common slit is used as the discharging port for plural electrothermal transducers
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-138461 wherein an opening for absorbing pressure wave of the thermal energy is formed corresponding to the ejecting portion.
- a recording method it may be possible to employ the method wherein a recording head is mounted on a carriage and then ink is ejected for recording while the carriage is allowed to travel in the width direction of the recording sheet, that is, the so-called serial type recording structure besides the use of the foregoing full-line type recording head.
- the present invention is applicable to a serial type recording head wherein the recording head is fixed on the main assembly, to a replaceable chip type recording head which is connected electrically with the main apparatus and can be supplied with the ink when it is mounted in the main assembly, or to a cartridge type recording head having an integral ink container.
- the recording head recovery means and preliminarily auxiliary means which are provided as constituents of a recording apparatus according to the present invention. They will contribute to making the effects of the present invention more stable. To name them specifically, they are capping means for the recording head, cleaning means, compression or suction means, preliminary heating means such as electrothermal transducers or heating elements other than such transducing type or the combination of those types of elements, and the preliminary ejection mode besides the regular ejection for recording.
- the recording heads mountable on the carriage may be a single head corresponding to a single color ink, or may be plural heads corresponding to a plurality of ink materials having different recording color or density.
- the present invention is effectively applicable to an apparatus having at least one of a monochromatic mode mainly with black, a multi-color mode with different color ink materials and/or a full-color mode using the mixture of the colors, which may be an integrally formed recording unit or a combination of plural recording heads.
- the ink may be an ink material which is solidified below the room temperature but liquefied at the room temperature. Since the ink is controlled within the temperature not lower than 30°C and not higher than 70°C to stabilize its viscosity for the provision of the stabilized ejection in general, the ink may be such that it can be liquefied when the applicable recording signals are given.
- an ink having a nature of being liquefied only by the application of thermal energy such as an ink capable of being ejected as ink liquid by enabling itself to be liquefied anyway when the thermal energy is given in accordance with recording signals, an ink which will have already begun solidifying itself by the time it reaches a recording medium.
- ink such as this
- the most effective method for each of the above-mentioned ink materials is the one which can implement the film boiling method described as above.
- a copying apparatus combined with a reader and the like or a facsimile apparatus having transmission and reception functions or the like may be employed in addition to those used as an image output terminal of an information processing apparatus such as a computer.
- the present invention is not confined to the ink jet recording method, but it is applicable to the thermal transfer recording method or thermal sensitive recording method or further to recording methods other than an impact recording method such as a wire-dot recording method. Also the present invention is not necessarily limited to a serial recording method but it can be used for the so-called line recording method.
- discharging means is structured to be in contact with the portions of a recording sheet other than its recording area. Therefore, the given images recorded by recording means are not smudged when passing through the foregoing discharging means. Hence, it is possible to obtain recorded images in high quality.
