Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming device with a simple and inexpensive structure, capable of preventing the reverse feeding of a recording paper accumulated on a paper discharge tray. <P>SOLUTION: When the rear end of the recording paper P passes through a recording paper rear surface contact portion 72, a reverse feeding preventing member 70 rotates in association with the lowering of a weight portion 74 by its self-weight. At this time, a recording paper pushing out portion 75 formed into an inclined surface is lifted to push out the rear end of the recording paper P to a discharging direction, thereby the discharging operation of the recording paper P by a paper discharging roller 34 is promoted. When the recording paper P is completely discharged, a recording paper rear end abutting portion 73 is lifted to close a part of a recording paper conveyance path between the paper discharging roller 34 and a star roller 36, thereby preventing the reverse feeding of the recording paper P. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

Description

本発明は、パーソナルコンピュータ又はデジタルカメラ等と接続され、これらから出力された画像データに基いて、記録紙に画像を形成する画像形成装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus that is connected to a personal computer, a digital camera, or the like and forms an image on a recording sheet based on image data output from the personal computer.

従来から、画像形成装置は、給紙トレイに対向する位置に設けられたピックローラ、画像形成部の上流側近傍に設けられた給紙ローラ及び画像形成部の下流側に設けられた排紙ローラによって記録紙を搬送するように構成されている。通常、ピックローラは記録紙の表面側に、給紙ローラ及び排紙ローラは裏面側に配設されているところ、これらのローラを単一のモータによって駆動しようとする場合、後述するように、給紙の初期動作において給紙ローラ及び排紙ローラを逆転させる必要がある。ところが、給紙トレイの対応枚数よりも排紙トレイの対応枚数が少なく設定されている画像形成装置においては、排紙トレイに堆積されている画像形成済みの記録紙が、排紙ローラの逆転によって逆送されてしまうという不具合が発生する虞がある。   Conventionally, an image forming apparatus includes a pick roller provided at a position facing a paper feed tray, a paper feed roller provided near the upstream side of the image forming unit, and a paper discharge roller provided downstream of the image forming unit. Is configured to convey the recording paper. Usually, the pick roller is disposed on the front side of the recording paper, and the paper feed roller and the paper discharge roller are disposed on the back side. When these rollers are driven by a single motor, as described later, In the initial feeding operation, it is necessary to reverse the feed roller and the discharge roller. However, in an image forming apparatus in which the number of paper discharge trays is set to be smaller than the number of paper feed trays, the image-formed recording paper deposited on the paper discharge tray is rotated by the reverse of the paper discharge roller. There is a possibility that a problem of reverse sending occurs.

そこで、上述した記録紙の逆送を含む各種の搬送不良を防止するために、例えば特許文献1には、排紙ローラの両端近傍に設けられたサブローラによって記録紙を強制的に排出する画像形成装置が提案されている。なお、特許文献2には、排紙サポート付きの画像形成装置が、特許文献3には、排出された記録紙の搬送方向を転換する機構を備えた画像形成装置が、特許文献4には、記録紙のコーナー部が用紙上限検知部材に乗り上げる排紙不良を解消した画像形成装置がそれぞれ示されている。

The invention of claim 3 is the image forming apparatus according to claim 2,
The reverse feed preventing member has a recording paper back surface contact portion that is provided closer to the image forming unit than the paper discharge roller and contacts the back surface of the recording paper conveyed in the forward direction by the paper feed roller,
When the recording paper is conveyed in the forward direction on the recording paper back surface contact portion, the recording paper back surface contact portion is pressed against the recording paper, whereby the reverse feed preventing member rotates in the first direction. A recording paper conveyance path between the paper discharge roller and the star roller is opened,
After the trailing edge of the recording paper passes over the recording paper back surface contact portion, the reverse feed preventing member is moved in the second direction opposite to the first direction as the weight portion is lowered by its own weight. Accordingly, the recording paper push-out portion pushes the rear end of the recording paper in the direction of the paper discharge tray, and the recording paper rear end abutting portion is between the paper discharge roller and the star roller. This part closes a part of the recording paper transport path.

請求項1の発明によれば、給紙ローラと排紙ローラとの間に逆送防止部材を備えているので、排紙ローラが逆転方向に回転駆動された場合であっても、排紙トレイの上に堆積されている記録紙が該排紙ローラによって逆方向に搬送されることがない。従って、排紙トレイに対応枚数以上の記録紙が堆積された状態で、装置を動作させても、排紙トレイ上の既に画像が形成された記録紙が逆方向に搬送され、その上に別の画像が上書きされることがなくなる。しかも、逆送防止部材には排紙ローラによって排出されようしている記録紙の後端を排紙トレイの方向に押し出すための記録紙押出部が設けられているので、確実に記録紙を排出できるようになる。また、逆送防止部材を排紙ローラの軸方向の略中央に配設することにより、幅寸法の狭い記録紙を使用した場合であっても、確実に記録紙を排出し、逆送を防止することができる。   According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the reverse feed preventing member is provided between the paper feed roller and the paper discharge roller, even if the paper discharge roller is driven to rotate in the reverse direction, the paper discharge tray The recording paper deposited on the paper is not conveyed in the reverse direction by the paper discharge roller. Therefore, even when the apparatus is operated with a corresponding number of sheets or more of recording paper deposited on the paper discharge tray, the recording paper on which the image has already been formed on the paper discharge tray is conveyed in the reverse direction. Images will not be overwritten. In addition, since the reverse feed prevention member is provided with a recording paper pushing section for pushing the trailing edge of the recording paper that is about to be discharged by the paper discharge roller in the direction of the paper discharge tray, the recording paper is reliably discharged. become able to. In addition, by arranging the reverse feed prevention member at the approximate center of the paper discharge roller in the axial direction, even when recording paper with a narrow width is used, the recording paper is reliably discharged to prevent reverse feed. can do.

請求項2の発明によれば、記録紙の後端が逆送防止部材の上を通過した後には、錘部が自重によって下降するのに伴って、逆送防止部材が回動し、記録紙後端当接部が排紙ローラとスターローラとの間の記録紙搬送経路の一部が閉じられる。これにより、簡素かつ安価な構成でありながらも、記録紙が逆方向に搬送されることを確実に防止することができる。   According to the invention of claim 2, after the trailing edge of the recording paper passes over the reverse feeding preventing member, the reverse feeding preventing member rotates as the weight portion descends by its own weight, and the recording paper The rear end contact portion closes a part of the recording paper conveyance path between the paper discharge roller and the star roller. Accordingly, it is possible to reliably prevent the recording paper from being conveyed in the reverse direction while having a simple and inexpensive configuration.

請求項3の発明によれば、記録紙裏面接触部が給紙ローラによって正方向に搬送された記録紙の裏面と接触すると、記録紙裏面接触部が記録紙に押圧されることにより、逆送防止部材が第1方向に回動して排紙ローラとスターローラとの間の記録紙搬送経路が開かれるので、薄手の記録紙が用いられた場合であっても、記録紙が損傷したり紙詰まりが発生する虞がない。一方、記録紙の後端が記録紙裏面接触部の上を通過した後には、錘部が自重によって下降するのに伴って、逆送防止部材が第2方向に回動する。これに伴い記録紙押出部が記録紙の後端を排紙トレイの方向に押し出すため、簡素かつ安価な構成で記録紙を確実に排出できるようになる。   According to the third aspect of the present invention, when the recording paper back surface contact portion comes into contact with the back surface of the recording paper conveyed in the forward direction by the paper feed roller, the recording paper back surface contact portion is pressed against the recording paper, thereby causing the reverse feeding. Since the prevention member rotates in the first direction and the recording paper transport path between the paper discharge roller and the star roller is opened, the recording paper may be damaged even when thin recording paper is used. There is no risk of paper jams. On the other hand, after the trailing edge of the recording paper passes over the recording paper back surface contact portion, the reverse feed preventing member rotates in the second direction as the weight portion is lowered by its own weight. Along with this, the recording paper push-out section pushes the rear end of the recording paper in the direction of the paper discharge tray, so that the recording paper can be reliably discharged with a simple and inexpensive configuration.

本発明を実施するための最良の実施形態による画像形成装置の一例としてインクジェットプリンタについて図面を参照して説明する。図1はインクジェットプリンタを示している。インクジェットプリンタ1は、記録紙Pを保持する給紙トレイ2と、給紙トレイ2に保持された記録紙Pを装置本体の内部に搬送する記録紙搬送機構3と、記録紙搬送機構3によって搬送された記録紙Pの先端を検知する先端センサ39と、記録紙搬送機構3によって搬送された記録紙Pに画像を形成する画像形成部(画像形成手段)4と、先端センサ39から出力された信号に基いて、記録紙搬送機構3及び画像形成部4等の動作を制御する制御回路(制御手段)5と、画像形成部4によって画像が形成された後、記録紙搬送機構3によって排出された記録紙Pが堆積される排紙トレイ6と、上記各部を支持するための筐体7等によって構成されている。   An ink jet printer as an example of an image forming apparatus according to the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an ink jet printer. The ink jet printer 1 includes a paper feed tray 2 that holds the recording paper P, a recording paper transport mechanism 3 that transports the recording paper P held in the paper feed tray 2 to the inside of the apparatus main body, and a recording paper transport mechanism 3 that transports the recording paper P. Output from the leading edge sensor 39, the leading edge sensor 39 that detects the leading edge of the recording paper P, the image forming unit (image forming means) 4 that forms an image on the recording paper P transported by the recording paper transport mechanism 3, and the leading edge sensor 39. Based on the signal, a control circuit (control means) 5 that controls operations of the recording paper transport mechanism 3 and the image forming unit 4 and the image forming unit 4 form an image, and then the recording paper transport mechanism 3 discharges the image. The paper discharge tray 6 on which the recording paper P is deposited, and a housing 7 for supporting the above-described parts, and the like.

給紙トレイ2は、インクジェットプリンタ1の後部に設けられており、所定サイズの封筒を含む各種の記録紙Pを鉛直方向に対して所定の後傾角度の起立姿勢で保持する。   The paper feed tray 2 is provided at the rear part of the ink jet printer 1 and holds various recording papers P including envelopes of a predetermined size in a standing posture with a predetermined rearward tilt angle with respect to the vertical direction.

記録紙搬送機構3は、給紙トレイ2に載置された記録紙Pを装置本体の内部に送出するピックローラ31と、画像形成部4の上流側に設けられ、ピックローラ31によって送出された記録紙Pを画像形成部4の側に送出する給紙ローラ32と、画像形成部4によって画像が形成された記録紙Pを排出するための排紙ローラ34と、ピックローラ31、給紙ローラ32及び排紙ローラ34を駆動するためのフィードモータ35と、排紙ローラ34に記録紙Pを押圧するスターローラ36等によって構成されている。   The recording paper transport mechanism 3 is provided on the upstream side of the image forming unit 4 and the pick roller 31 that sends the recording paper P placed on the paper feed tray 2 to the inside of the apparatus main body, and is sent by the pick roller 31. A paper feed roller 32 for sending the recording paper P to the image forming unit 4 side, a paper discharge roller 34 for discharging the recording paper P on which an image has been formed by the image forming unit 4, a pick roller 31, and a paper feed roller 32, a feed motor 35 for driving the paper discharge roller 34, a star roller 36 for pressing the recording paper P against the paper discharge roller 34, and the like.

先端センサ39は、給紙ローラ32の上流側の近傍に配設されており、ピックローラ31によって送出された記録紙Pの先端を検出し、所定の電気信号を制御回路5に出力する。画像形成部4は、インクが充填されたインクカートリッジ40と、インクカートリッジ40を支持しながら、記録紙Pの搬送方向A(副走査方向)に直交する主走査方向B(図5参照)に往復移動するキャリッジ41と、キャリッジ41を駆動するキャリッジ駆動モータ42等によって構成されている。インクカートリッジ40の下面には、記録紙Pにインクを吐出するプリントヘッド43が設けられている。プリントヘッド43は、先端センサ39によって先端が検知された後、さらに所定の距離だけ搬送された記録紙Pにインクを吐出して画像を形成する。キャリッジ41は、主走査方向に平行に配設されたシャフト44によって往復移動自在に支持され、キャリッジ駆動モータ42に駆動されて移動する。キャリッジ駆動モータ42の出力は、ベルト等を介してキャリッジ41に伝達される。フィードモータ35、キャリッジ駆動モータ42及びプリントヘッド43は、制御回路5によって制御される。   The leading edge sensor 39 is disposed in the vicinity of the upstream side of the paper feed roller 32, detects the leading edge of the recording paper P sent out by the pick roller 31, and outputs a predetermined electric signal to the control circuit 5. The image forming unit 4 reciprocates in the main scanning direction B (see FIG. 5) orthogonal to the transport direction A (sub-scanning direction) of the recording paper P while supporting the ink cartridge 40 filled with ink and the ink cartridge 40. A carriage 41 that moves, a carriage drive motor 42 that drives the carriage 41, and the like are included. A print head 43 that ejects ink onto the recording paper P is provided on the lower surface of the ink cartridge 40. After the leading edge is detected by the leading edge sensor 39, the print head 43 further discharges ink onto the recording paper P conveyed by a predetermined distance to form an image. The carriage 41 is reciprocally supported by a shaft 44 disposed in parallel with the main scanning direction, and is moved by being driven by a carriage drive motor 42. The output of the carriage drive motor 42 is transmitted to the carriage 41 via a belt or the like. The feed motor 35, the carriage drive motor 42 and the print head 43 are controlled by the control circuit 5.

制御回路5は、例えば、PWM制御によってフィードモータ35を制御する。すなわち、フィードモータ35の駆動電圧を上げることにより、PWMデューティが増加し、フィードモータ35の回転数が上昇する。逆に、フィードモータ35の駆動電圧を下げることにより、PWMデューティが減少し、フィードモータ35の回転数が下降する。   The control circuit 5 controls the feed motor 35 by, for example, PWM control. That is, by increasing the drive voltage of the feed motor 35, the PWM duty increases and the rotation speed of the feed motor 35 increases. Conversely, by lowering the drive voltage of the feed motor 35, the PWM duty is reduced and the rotation speed of the feed motor 35 is lowered.

図2及び図3は、記録紙搬送機構3におけるピックローラ31、給紙ローラ32及び排紙ローラ34を回転駆動するための駆動ギア列の構成とその動作を示している。図2は、給紙トレイ2に保持された記録紙Pを搬送するときの記録紙搬送機構3の初期動作を、図3はその後の記録紙搬送機構3の動作を示している。ここで、上記初期動作とは、給紙トレイ2に保持された記録紙Pがピックローラ31によって送出され、その先端が給紙ローラ32に達するまでの動作をいうものとする。   2 and 3 show the configuration and operation of a drive gear train for rotationally driving the pick roller 31, the paper feed roller 32, and the paper discharge roller 34 in the recording paper transport mechanism 3. FIG. FIG. 2 shows the initial operation of the recording paper transport mechanism 3 when transporting the recording paper P held on the paper feed tray 2, and FIG. 3 shows the subsequent operation of the recording paper transport mechanism 3. Here, the initial operation refers to an operation until the recording paper P held in the paper feed tray 2 is sent out by the pick roller 31 and the leading end thereof reaches the paper feed roller 32.

ピックローラ31、給紙ローラ32及び排紙ローラ34は、それぞれピックギア61、給紙ギア(2段ギア)62、排紙ギア64に結合されている。給紙ギア62は、フィードモータ35の出力軸に嵌合されているピニオンギア65と噛合っており、フィードモータ35によって駆動される。また、給紙ギア62と排紙ギア64には、駆動力を伝達するためのベルト63が装着されている。また、フィードモータ35の駆動力は、ピニオンギア65、2段ギア66、67、遊星ギア68、ギア69を介してピックギア61に伝達される。遊星ギア68は、2段ギア67の回転軸67aに回動自在に軸支されたアーム部材67bによって軸支されており、2段ギア67の回転方向に応じてギア69に駆動力を伝達したり、断絶したりする。また、ギア69、ピックギア61及びピックローラ31は、支持アーム(図示せず)によってそれぞれ軸支されている。   The pick roller 31, the paper feed roller 32, and the paper discharge roller 34 are coupled to a pick gear 61, a paper feed gear (two-stage gear) 62, and a paper discharge gear 64, respectively. The paper feed gear 62 meshes with a pinion gear 65 fitted to the output shaft of the feed motor 35 and is driven by the feed motor 35. Further, a belt 63 for transmitting a driving force is attached to the paper feed gear 62 and the paper discharge gear 64. Further, the driving force of the feed motor 35 is transmitted to the pick gear 61 via the pinion gear 65, the second gears 66 and 67, the planetary gear 68 and the gear 69. The planetary gear 68 is pivotally supported by an arm member 67 b that is pivotally supported on a rotation shaft 67 a of the two-stage gear 67, and transmits a driving force to the gear 69 according to the rotation direction of the two-stage gear 67. Or cut off. The gear 69, the pick gear 61, and the pick roller 31 are each supported by a support arm (not shown).

給紙の初期状態においては、図2に示すように、フィードモータ35の出力軸が反時計回りに回転し、その駆動力によってピックローラ31は時計回りに回転し、給紙トレイ2に装填されている記録紙Pを送出する。このとき、給紙ローラ32及び排紙ローラ34も、時計回り、すなわち逆転方向に回転駆動される。   In the initial state of paper feeding, as shown in FIG. 2, the output shaft of the feed motor 35 rotates counterclockwise, and the pick roller 31 rotates clockwise by the driving force and is loaded in the paper feeding tray 2. The recording paper P being sent is sent out. At this time, the paper feed roller 32 and the paper discharge roller 34 are also driven to rotate clockwise, that is, in the reverse direction.

記録紙の先端が給紙ローラ32に達すると、フィードモータ35の出力軸の回転方向が時計回りに反転される。これにより、記録紙Pの搬送経路の下側(記録紙Pの裏面側)に位置する給紙ローラ32及び排紙ローラ34が反時計回り、すなわち正転方向に回転駆動され、記録紙Pが排紙トレイ6まで搬送される。なお、このときアーム部材67bが矢印c方向に回動されるため、遊星ギア68とギア69とは噛み合わず、ピックローラ31には回転駆動力が伝達されない。   When the leading edge of the recording paper reaches the paper feed roller 32, the rotation direction of the output shaft of the feed motor 35 is reversed clockwise. As a result, the paper feed roller 32 and the paper discharge roller 34 located on the lower side of the conveyance path of the recording paper P (the back side of the recording paper P) are driven to rotate counterclockwise, that is, in the normal rotation direction. It is conveyed to the paper discharge tray 6. At this time, since the arm member 67b is rotated in the direction of the arrow c, the planetary gear 68 and the gear 69 are not engaged with each other, and the rotational driving force is not transmitted to the pick roller 31.

図4は、排紙ローラ34の周辺部を示している。排紙ローラ34は、筐体7によって回転自在に軸支されている。スターローラ36は、金属製のプレート部材37によって回転自在に軸支されている。排紙ローラ34を挟んで排紙トレイ6とは反対側、すなわち給紙ローラ32と排紙ローラ34との間には、記録紙Pの逆送を防止するための逆送防止部材70が設けられている。   FIG. 4 shows the periphery of the paper discharge roller 34. The paper discharge roller 34 is rotatably supported by the housing 7. The star roller 36 is rotatably supported by a metal plate member 37. A reverse feed prevention member 70 for preventing the reverse feed of the recording paper P is provided on the opposite side of the paper discharge tray 6 across the paper discharge roller 34, that is, between the paper feed roller 32 and the paper discharge roller 34. It has been.

図5は、逆送防止部材70とその周辺の筐体7を示している。また、図6は逆送防止部材70を、図7は筐体7における逆送防止部材70が組み込まれる部分をそれぞれ示している。逆送防止部材70は、排紙ローラ34及びスターローラ36と干渉しないように、排紙ローラ34及びスターローラ36に対して主走査方向Bに所定の距離を隔てた位置において、筐体7に形成されている開口部7aに装着されている。逆送防止部材70は、その本体部分から水平方向に延出された回動軸71と、給紙ローラ32によって正方向(矢印A方向)に搬送された記録紙Pの裏面が接触される記録紙裏面接触部72と、排紙ローラ34によって逆方向(矢印Aとは逆の方向)に搬送された記録紙Pの後端が当接される記録紙後端当接部73と、図4中、逆送防止部材70に時計回りのモーメントを付与するための錘部74と、記録紙裏面接触部72から記録紙後端当接部73にかけて形成された記録紙押出部75を有している。回動軸71は、筐体7に形成されている軸受け部7bに装着されている。記録紙裏面接触部72は、排紙ローラ34よりも画像形成部4の側において、記録紙Pの搬送方向Aに対して所定の迎角をもって斜面状に形成されている。記録紙後端当接部73は、排紙ローラ34とスターローラ36との接点Tよりも排紙トレイ6の側において、逆方向に搬送された記録紙Pが略垂直に当接するように形成されている。錘部74は、回動軸71を挟んで記録紙後端当接部73とは反対側に設けられている。記録紙押出部75は、排紙ローラ34によって排出されようとしている記録紙Pの後端と当接して記録紙の後端をし得るように斜面状に形成されている。   FIG. 5 shows the reverse feed preventing member 70 and the surrounding housing 7. FIG. 6 shows a reverse feed preventing member 70, and FIG. 7 shows a portion of the housing 7 into which the reverse feed preventing member 70 is incorporated. The reverse feed preventing member 70 is attached to the housing 7 at a position spaced a predetermined distance in the main scanning direction B from the paper discharge roller 34 and the star roller 36 so as not to interfere with the paper discharge roller 34 and the star roller 36. Attached to the formed opening 7a. The reverse feed preventing member 70 is a recording in which the rotating shaft 71 extending in the horizontal direction from the main body portion and the back surface of the recording paper P conveyed in the forward direction (arrow A direction) by the paper feed roller 32 are in contact. A paper back contact portion 72, a recording paper rear end contact portion 73 with which the rear end of the recording paper P conveyed in the reverse direction (the direction opposite to the arrow A) by the paper discharge roller 34, and FIG. A weight part 74 for imparting a clockwise moment to the reverse feed preventing member 70 and a recording paper pushing part 75 formed from the recording paper back surface contact part 72 to the recording paper rear end contact part 73. Yes. The rotating shaft 71 is attached to a bearing portion 7 b formed in the housing 7. The recording paper back surface contact portion 72 is formed in a slope shape with a predetermined angle of attack with respect to the conveyance direction A of the recording paper P on the image forming portion 4 side of the paper discharge roller 34. The recording paper rear end abutting portion 73 is formed so that the recording paper P conveyed in the opposite direction is in a substantially vertical contact with the discharge tray 6 side of the contact T between the discharge roller 34 and the star roller 36. Has been. The weight portion 74 is provided on the opposite side of the recording paper rear end contact portion 73 with the rotation shaft 71 interposed therebetween. The recording paper push-out section 75 is formed in an inclined shape so as to be in contact with the rear end of the recording paper P about to be discharged by the paper discharge roller 34 and to be the rear end of the recording paper.

図8乃至図10は、記録紙Pが正方向に搬送されるときの逆送防止部材70の動作を示している。記録紙Pは、給紙ローラ32(図1参照)によって、排紙ローラ34まで搬送される。このとき、図8に示すように、逆送防止部材70は、錘部74の自重によって時計回りのモーメントを受け、記録紙裏面接触部72及び記録紙後端当接部73が上昇し、排紙ローラ34とスターローラ36との間を含む記録紙搬送経路の一部が閉じられた状態となっている。この状態からさらに記録紙Pが正方向に搬送されると、その先端が記録紙裏面接触部72と接触し、記録紙裏面接触部72を下方に押圧する。これに伴い、図9に示すように、逆送防止部材70が第1方向(反時計回り)に回動して排紙ローラ34とスターローラ36との間の記録紙搬送経路が開かれ、記録紙Pが通過可能となる。記録紙Pの後端が記録紙裏面接触部72を通過すると、図10に示すように、逆送防止部材70は、錘部74(図8参照)の自重によって下降するのに伴って、第2方向(時計回り)に回動する。このとき、斜面状に形成された記録紙押出部75が上昇し、記録紙Pの後端を排出方向に押し出し、排紙ローラ34による記録紙Pの排出動作を促進する。記録紙Pが完全に排出されると、記録紙後端当接部73が上昇し、排紙ローラ34とスターローラ36との間の記録紙搬送経路の一部が閉じられ、図8に示した状態に復帰する。このように逆送防止部材70の第2方向への回動は、錘部74がその自重によって下降するのに伴ってなされる。このため、逆送防止部材70を駆動する駆動機構を別途設ける必要がない。また、錘部74の重さを適宜設定することにより、薄手の記録紙に対応させて少ない力で逆送防止部材70を第1方向に回動可能とすることができ、記録紙Pの損傷と紙詰まりを防止できる。   8 to 10 show the operation of the reverse feed preventing member 70 when the recording paper P is conveyed in the forward direction. The recording paper P is conveyed to the paper discharge roller 34 by the paper supply roller 32 (see FIG. 1). At this time, as shown in FIG. 8, the reverse feed preventing member 70 receives a clockwise moment by the weight of the weight portion 74, and the recording paper back surface contact portion 72 and the recording paper trailing edge contact portion 73 are lifted and discharged. A part of the recording paper conveyance path including the space between the paper roller 34 and the star roller 36 is closed. When the recording paper P is further conveyed in the forward direction from this state, the leading end thereof contacts the recording paper back surface contact portion 72 and presses the recording paper back surface contact portion 72 downward. Along with this, as shown in FIG. 9, the reverse feed preventing member 70 rotates in the first direction (counterclockwise) to open the recording paper conveyance path between the paper discharge roller 34 and the star roller 36, The recording paper P can pass through. When the trailing edge of the recording paper P passes through the recording paper back surface contact portion 72, as shown in FIG. 10, the reverse feed preventing member 70 is moved downward by its own weight of the weight portion 74 (see FIG. 8). Rotate in two directions (clockwise). At this time, the recording paper push-out portion 75 formed in a slope shape rises, pushes the rear end of the recording paper P in the discharge direction, and promotes the discharge operation of the recording paper P by the paper discharge roller 34. When the recording paper P is completely discharged, the recording paper rear end abutting portion 73 rises and a part of the recording paper conveyance path between the paper discharge roller 34 and the star roller 36 is closed, as shown in FIG. It returns to the state. In this way, the reverse feed preventing member 70 is rotated in the second direction as the weight 74 is lowered by its own weight. For this reason, it is not necessary to separately provide a drive mechanism for driving the reverse feed preventing member 70. Further, by appropriately setting the weight of the weight portion 74, the reverse feed preventing member 70 can be rotated in the first direction with a small force corresponding to the thin recording paper, and the recording paper P is damaged. And can prevent paper jams.

図11は、その後、給紙トレイ2に装填されている次の記録紙に画像を形成する際に、排紙ローラ34が逆転したときの逆送防止部材70の動作を示している。排紙トレイ10に10数枚程度の記録紙Pが堆積されると、記録紙Pの後端が排紙ローラ34に駆動されて、記録紙Pは排紙ローラ34とスターローラ36との間の記録紙搬送経路に逆送される場合がある。ところが、既に逆送防止部材70の第2方向への回動に伴って上昇された記録紙後端当接部73が排紙ローラ34とスターローラ36との間の記録紙搬送経路の一部に介在しているので、記録紙Pの後端は記録紙後端当接部73と当接し、記録紙Pがそれ以上逆送することが防止される。   FIG. 11 shows the operation of the reverse feed preventing member 70 when the paper discharge roller 34 is reversed when an image is formed on the next recording paper loaded in the paper feed tray 2 thereafter. When about ten or more sheets of recording paper P are deposited on the paper discharge tray 10, the trailing edge of the recording paper P is driven by the paper discharge roller 34, and the recording paper P is placed between the paper discharge roller 34 and the star roller 36. May be sent back to the recording paper transport path. However, the recording paper rear end abutting portion 73 that has already been lifted as the reverse feed preventing member 70 rotates in the second direction is a part of the recording paper transport path between the paper discharge roller 34 and the star roller 36. Therefore, the trailing edge of the recording paper P abuts on the recording paper trailing edge abutting portion 73, and the recording paper P is prevented from being fed back further.

以上のように、本実施形態のインクジェットプリンタ1によれば、給紙ローラ32と排紙ローラ34との間に逆送防止部材70を備えているので、排紙ローラ34が逆転方向に回転駆動された場合であっても、排紙トレイ6の上に堆積されている記録紙Pが排紙ローラ34によって逆方向に搬送されることがない。従って、排紙トレイ6に対応枚数以上の記録紙Pが堆積された状態で、装置を動作させても、排紙トレイ6の上の既に画像が形成された記録紙Pに別の画像が上書きされることがなくなる。しかも、逆送防止部材70には排紙ローラ34によって排出されようしている記録紙Pの後端を排紙トレイ6の方向に押し出すための記録紙押出部75が設けられているので、確実に記録紙を排出できるようになる。また、逆送防止部材70を排紙ローラ34の軸方向の略中央に配設することにより、幅寸法の狭い記録紙Pを使用した場合であっても、確実に記録紙Pを排出し、逆送を防止することができる。   As described above, according to the inkjet printer 1 of the present embodiment, since the reverse feed preventing member 70 is provided between the paper feed roller 32 and the paper discharge roller 34, the paper discharge roller 34 is driven to rotate in the reverse direction. Even in this case, the recording paper P deposited on the paper discharge tray 6 is not conveyed in the reverse direction by the paper discharge roller 34. Therefore, even when the apparatus is operated in a state where a corresponding number of recording sheets P are accumulated on the discharge tray 6, another image is overwritten on the recording sheet P on which the image has already been formed on the discharge tray 6. It will not be done. In addition, since the reverse feed preventing member 70 is provided with a recording paper push-out portion 75 for pushing the rear end of the recording paper P that is about to be discharged by the paper discharge roller 34 in the direction of the paper discharge tray 6, it is ensured. The recording paper can be discharged. Further, by disposing the reverse feed preventing member 70 at substantially the center in the axial direction of the paper discharge roller 34, even when the recording paper P having a narrow width is used, the recording paper P is reliably discharged, Reverse feed can be prevented.

また、記録紙Pの後端が逆送防止部材70の上を通過した後には、錘部74が自重によって下降するのに伴って、逆送防止部材70が回動し、記録紙後端当接部73が排紙ローラ34とスターローラ36との間の記録紙搬送経路の一部が閉じられる。これにより、簡素かつ安価な構成でありながらも、記録紙Pが逆方向に搬送されることを確実に防止することができる。また、記録紙裏面接触部72が給紙ローラ32によって正方向に搬送された記録紙Pの裏面と接触すると、記録紙裏面接触部72が記録紙Pに押圧されることにより、逆送防止部材70が第1方向に回動して排紙ローラ34とスターローラ36との間の記録紙搬送経路が開かれるので、薄手の記録紙が用いられた場合であっても、記録紙が損傷したり紙詰まりが発生する虞がない。一方、記録紙Pの後端が記録紙裏面接触部72の上を通過した後には、錘部74が自重によって下降するのに伴って、逆送防止部材70が第2方向に回動する。これに伴い記録紙押出部75が記録紙Pの後端を排紙トレイ6の方向に押し出すため、簡素かつ安価な構成で記録紙を確実に排出できるようになる。   In addition, after the trailing edge of the recording paper P passes over the reverse feeding preventing member 70, the reverse feeding preventing member 70 rotates as the weight portion 74 is lowered by its own weight, and the recording paper trailing edge is pressed. The contact portion 73 closes a part of the recording paper conveyance path between the paper discharge roller 34 and the star roller 36. Accordingly, it is possible to reliably prevent the recording paper P from being conveyed in the reverse direction while having a simple and inexpensive configuration. Further, when the recording paper back surface contact portion 72 comes into contact with the back surface of the recording paper P conveyed in the forward direction by the paper feed roller 32, the recording paper back surface contact portion 72 is pressed against the recording paper P, thereby causing a reverse feed preventing member. 70 rotates in the first direction to open the recording paper conveyance path between the paper discharge roller 34 and the star roller 36, so that even when thin recording paper is used, the recording paper is damaged. There is no risk of paper jams. On the other hand, after the trailing edge of the recording paper P passes over the recording paper back surface contact portion 72, the reverse feed preventing member 70 rotates in the second direction as the weight portion 74 is lowered by its own weight. Along with this, the recording paper pushing section 75 pushes the rear end of the recording paper P in the direction of the paper discharge tray 6, so that the recording paper can be reliably discharged with a simple and inexpensive configuration.

なお、本発明は上記実施形態の構成に限られることなく、少なくとも給紙ローラ32と排紙ローラ34との間に逆送防止部材70を備えていればよい。また、本発明は、種々の変形が可能であり、例えば、ピックローラ31、給紙ローラ32及び排紙ローラ34を回転駆動するための駆動ギア列の構成や、逆送防止部材70の形状は、図2、6に示したものに限られることはない。   Note that the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment, and it is sufficient that the reverse feed preventing member 70 is provided at least between the paper feed roller 32 and the paper discharge roller 34. The present invention can be variously modified.
