Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the same effect as that obtained by performing plural times of thermal transfers by sending an ink sheet one time, by driving a feed roller means so that the feeding speed of the ink sheet by the feed roller is slower than the speed of recording paper. CONSTITUTION:For example, recording paper 2 is fed by every one line by the four step driving of a step motor 9 during a period A. An ink sheet 1 is fed by one step driving of a step motor 5 during the period A. The diameters of the rollers and a speed reducing ratio of a feed roller 6 and a platen roller 4 are set so that the amount of transfer of the recording paper 2 and that of the sheet 1 become equal by the one step driving of each of the motors 5 and 9. Since the speed ratio of the sheet 1 and the recording paper 2 is made to be 1:4 and the driving control is performed at this ratio, it is not required to wind the sheet once and to perform resetting and unwinding. Therefore, the same effect as that obtained by performing plural times of thermal transfers can be obtained by the sending of the sheet 1 by one time.

The present invention relates to improvements in thermal transfer printers. Generally, as shown in FIG. 1, a thermal transfer printer lamp uses an ink sheet ty on which a heat-melting or heat-sublimating dry ink layer is formed on a film base as a recording medium. Korean paper (plain paper) 2 and 1iI
l The ink sheet 1 and the recording paper 2 are conveyed in the scanning direction, and the ink sheet 1 and the recording paper 2 are pressed into contact between the rad 3 and the platen roller 4 to record one line each with a plurality of recording elements arranged one line in the main scanning direction. Recorded by thermal transfer with si and minute data *
It is set to L in order to perform V sequentially. Note that the recording head 3
In the case of the contact heating type, the thermal head uses a heating element for the recording element, and in the electric heating type (the film base of the ink sheet has 4 In the case of a false one (which is made like this), a head equipped with a multi-needle electrode, a return circuit, and a Y is used, respectively. Conventionally, in this type of thermal transfer printer, the ink sheet 1 and the recording paper 2 are sub-scanned at a constant speed to perform recording. It has become a big IC. In addition, recently, an ink sheet has been developed in which the ink layer formed on the film base is relatively thick and can be thermally transferred in multiple turns. In order to reuse the ink sheet, the ink sheet that has been scattered must be set on the feed side again, or the ink sheet that has been scattered once is rewound on the feed side. In addition, the structure becomes complicated because it requires a machine M for rewinding, and the ink sheet that has been wound up once is reused because it is easy to wrinkle when winding a thin ink sheet. There is a problem in doing so. The present invention has been made in consideration of the above points, and it is possible to perform multiple thermal transfers with one feeding of the ink sheet without having to reset or rewind the wound ink sheet. To provide an excellent thermal transfer type printer that can obtain the same effect as a printer. Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the thermal transfer printer according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, the ink layer of the ink sheet 1 is placed between the recording head 3 and the platen roller 4 on the recording paper 21I. There is %1(F)K, which sequentially performs recording by thermal transfer according to data for each line while being in pressure contact.
The ink sheet 1 and the recording paper 2 are conveyed independently by separate systems, and drive control is performed so that the amount of conveyance of the ink sheet 1 is smaller than that of the recording paper 2. I'm trying to stay busy. That is, when the ink sheet 1 is fed wlIl, it is rolled 4! ! @SafL7j Step motor 5 that feeds ink sheet 1? It consists of a pair of feed rollers 6 as a driving source, an AC motor 7% that winds up the ink sheet through the connection between the recording head 3 and the platen roller 4, and an e* reel 8 as a driving source. There is. In addition, as a transport system for the recording paper 2, a frame and a roll-shaped recording paper 2 are also used.
It consists of a platen roller 4 whose driving source is a step motor 9 that conveys the conveyed recording paper 2v) to the recording section, and a pair of paper discharge rollers 11 whose driving source is the AC motor 7 that discharges the conveyed recording paper 2v) onto the ray 10. There is. In the figure, 12U indicates a separation roller (valve assembly @) for separating the ink sheet 1 from the recording paper 2 after recording, and 13 indicates a cutter for cutting the recording paper 2 into a predetermined size after recording. In addition,
The feed roller pair 6 includes an upper drive roller that contacts the film base surface of the ink sheet 1, which is made of a rubber roller, and a lower drive roller that contacts the ink surface of the ink sheet 1,
(b) The roller is made of a metal roller, and is configured to send out the ink sheet 1 with a sufficient conveying force t and to prevent the ink layer Y from being disturbed. See you next time, the S-rule 8 of ink sheet 1 is t! ! The ink sheet l is driven by the AC motor 7 through a well-known buffering mechanism (not shown in the figure), such as a friction transmission means between a felt and a resin plate, etc., so that the ink sheet l can be rolled in steps. There is. Furthermore, the pressing force of the intersheet l being applied to the pair of feed rollers 6 is the pressing force between the recording head 3 and the platen roller 4! 7 also becomes stronger15
The ink sheet 1 and the recording paper 2 are set in a sliding relationship at the recording position. In the pair of paper ejection rollers 11, the upper and lower rollers that come into contact with the recording surface of the recording paper 2 are made of rubber rollers, and the lower drive roller that comes into contact with the non-recording surface of the friend recording paper 2 is the roller that contacts the recording surface of the recording paper 2. Made of metal rollers to make the surface and slip clear. Therefore, the AC motor 7 rotates the lower metal roller of the paper discharge roller pair 11 at a speed faster than the feeding speed of the recording paper 2, and the recording head 3 and platen roller 4 are By increasing the pressure of the recording paper 2 between the
Pull the recording paper 2v using an appropriate tension rope to prevent it from sagging (if the recording paper 2 sag, the cutting position by the cutter 13 will be incorrect), and also rub the recording paper 2.

[I try not to get too excited about that recording. Also, each motor 5.7, 9. in the drive system for the ink sheet 1 and the recording paper 2. are centrally driven and controlled by the controller 19 via the respective motor drivers 14, 15, 16Y, the recording head 3 via the head driver 17't', and the cutter 13 via the cutter driver 18v. The operation of the heat transfer type printer according to the present invention constructed in this way will be explained below with reference to the time chart of the signals of each part shown in Fig. 3. The ink sheet 1 and the recording paper are sequentially applied to the recording head 3 intermittently (or continuously) in units (period A in the print timing in the m3 diagram indicates the time required to print each one line). 2
is conveyed between the recording head 3 and the platen roller 4, and recording is sequentially performed line by line by thermal transfer. In this case, in the present invention, the recording paper 2 during the period %K and A.
is fed in the sub-scanning direction by 1917 minutes each time by 4-step driving of the step motor 9. Similarly, during period A, the ink sheet 1 is fed by 1-step rotation of the step motor 5, and each step motor 5, 9 The roller diameters and reduction ratios of the feed roller pair 6 and the platen roller 4 are set so that the conveyance amount of the recording paper 2 and the ink sheet 1 are equal in each one-step rotation. That is, in this *Hata example, the same -
A device that can perform thermal transfer four times at certain points is used, and the feed of the ink sheet 1 is made to be 1/4 K for the feed of the recording paper 2 for a line in the sub-scanning direction. . In Fig. 3, P indicates the start of recording, Q indicates the end of one page of recording, 4 indicates the time when the cutter 13 cuts two pieces of recording paper at the rear end of the recorded page, and S Is the time when paper ejection is completed, the time when the so-called leading edge margin is pulled back to the position of the recording head 30, which is the leading edge of the recording paper 2 that is cut by the T-cut cutter 13 and used for the next recording process? -F:f'L are shown respectively. In this embodiment, the step motors 5 and 9 are both driven at a constant speed during the Q-H period in which the recording paper 2t is fed to the position 13 after recording is completed.
During the RT period in which the leading edge margin of the cut recording paper 2 is pulled back, the step motors 5 and 9 are both driven to rotate at a constant speed in the reverse direction. Further, during the period P to B, the AC motor 7 is driven, and the recorded paper 2 is discharged to the tray 1O and the ink sheet 1 is wound up. However, in the thermal transfer printer according to the present invention, the drive control is performed so that the feeding speed of the ink sheet 1 and the recording paper 2 is in a relationship of 1:4. It is possible to obtain the same effect as performing multiple thermal transfers with one feeding of the ink sheet, without having to reset or rewind the ink sheet that has just been wound up. become able to. Furthermore, since back tension acts on the ink sheet 1 during the recording period, the generation of wrinkles due to sagging can be effectively prevented. In addition, ink sheet 1 and recording paper 2
It goes without saying that the feed speed ratio is not limited to 1:4, but may be set to an appropriate speed ratio depending on the number of thermally transferable stitches of the ink sheet 1. FIG. 4 shows another embodiment 1 of the present invention. In this case, at t1%, the pair of rollers 6 for feeding the ink sheet 1 and the platen roller 4 for feeding the recording paper 2v are driven by the same step motor 2.
They are each driven as a 0V drive source, and the gear ratio is configured so that the feed speed ratio between the ink sheet 1 and the recording paper 2 is in a predetermined relationship. In other words, the drive mechanism for the platen roller 4 and the pair of feeders 90 and 6 includes a step motor 20 and a pair of pulleys n.
, 22 and the belt 23, the platen roller 4 is driven, and the pulley U provided on the shaft of the platen roller 4 and the first gear 25VCIEa clutch St.
- Provided through fLf? - A belt 28 is installed between the belt 28 and the Boo' J27, and when the electromagnetic clutch device is turned on, the driving force applied by the step motor is transmitted to the first gear b, and the driving force is further transmitted to the first gear 5. The second gear 29 causes a predetermined deceleration to be transmitted to the pair of feed rollers 6. Further, one end of the drive shaft of the feed roller pair 6 has a friction shaft (
9) are integrally attached, and the friction shaft XIK has an outer diameter, J: A coil spring 31 having an inner ring with a smaller diameter is attached to the free form 11 by its elastic force. Note that one outer end of the coil spring 319) is fixed. As shown in FIG. 5, with this configuration, the electromagnetic clutch 26V is engaged during the recording period, and the gear ratio between the first gear 5 and the second gear 4 is By making appropriate settings, it is possible to maintain the feed speed ratio between the ink sheet 1 and the recording paper 2 at a predetermined value of 1 ft by forward driving using the step motor. When one page of recording is completed, the electromagnetic clutch 26v is pulled out, and the step motor 2OvJ is switched to 6-speed drive to feed the recording paper 2'4 at high speed until the recording end reaches the cutter position. At this time, since the electromagnetic clutch is in a disengaged state, the ink sheet 1 is conveyed by the platen roller 4 together with the recording paper 2. In addition, the coil spring 31 is rotated by 60 rotations of the feed roller pair during the period from the start of recording to the cutting of the recording paper 2.
[Rotational force in the opposite direction is accumulated. After cutting the recording paper 2, the step motor 20 is driven in the reverse direction at high speed with the electromagnetic clutch 26 being disengaged to pull back the leading edge margin. At that time, the rotating force accumulated in the feed 90-ra pair 6tl coil spring 31 reverses the rotation (-7, sofi, J, 6. As described above, in the thermal transfer printer according to the present invention, a dedicated feed roller means for feeding the ink sheet to the Q recording section is provided.
During recording, the feeding roller means is driven so that the feeding speed of the ink sheet by the feeding roller is slower than the speed of the recording paper conveyed from the platen roller IC to the recording section. It has the excellent advantage that efficient thermal transfer recording can be easily performed while reducing consumption tt.
