する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a thermal transfer recording device, and in particular to a thermal transfer recording device in which a transfer reel is provided between a recording paper and an ink sheet to enable high-quality transfer without increasing the smoothness of the recording paper. Regarding equipment.

た。Conventionally, in a thermal transfer recording device used in the recording section of a facsimile machine, a recording paper and an ink sheet are overlapped and sent to a recording section consisting of a thermal head and a platen rotor. The ink on the ink sheet is melted by a heating element that generates heat, and this? All recording was done by transferring to recording paper.
ここで問題となるのは、記録紙とインクシートとの密着
度を高めておがないと記録紙に充分な濃度の画像を転写
することができないという点である。The problem here is that unless the degree of adhesion between the recording paper and the ink sheet is increased, an image of sufficient density cannot be transferred to the recording paper.

言われている。第１図は記録紙の平滑度と転写濃度との
関係を示す図である。図から明らかな如く、平滑度が向
上するとｆ寥濃度が上昇することが認められる。It is said that a good way to increase the degree of adhesion between the recording paper and the ink sheet is to improve the smoothness of the recording paper. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the relationship between the smoothness of recording paper and the transfer density. As is clear from the figure, it is recognized that as the smoothness improves, the f density increases.

転写ローラ４の表面に２人で示される如く１写される。The ink sheet 2 supplied from the ink sheet supply roller 7A passes between the thermal head 3 and the transfer roller 4. At this time, when image information is input to the thermal head 3, the temperature of the heating element 3A suddenly increases. - The ink on the ink sheet 2 is completely melted by heating, and the melted ink is transferred onto the surface of the transfer roller 4 by two people as shown.

き離している。The ink 42A transferred onto the surface of the transfer roller 4 is sent to the recording paper 1 side as the transfer p-roller 4 rotates. At this stage, the solenoid 9 is energized and the lever 11 supporting the press roller 6 rotates in the direction of the solenoid 9 against the spring 10, separating the press roller 6 from the transfer roller.
このため、記録Ｍｌは移動せずに待機している。For this reason, the recording Ml is on standby without moving.
