【発明の詳細な説明】
(1) 技術分野
本発明はインクジェットプリンタの紙押え機構に関する
。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (1) Technical Field The present invention relates to a paper holding mechanism for an inkjet printer.
(2)従来技術
インクジェットプリンタに使用されるインクは、噴射ノ
ズル内で目づ捷りを生じないように乾燥しにくく、かつ
紙面に付着した後は速やかに乾燥する、という相反する
特性が必要とされ、この要求を満足させるインクを得る
ことは難しい。従って、従来のインクジェットプリンタ
では、使用する用紙を指定し、内部空隙率の高い吸水性
の紙によって速やかにインクを紙白部に吸収してしまう
方法がとられていた。(2) Conventional technology The ink used in inkjet printers needs contradictory characteristics: it is difficult to dry so as not to cause smearing within the ejection nozzle, and it also dries quickly after adhering to the paper surface. However, it is difficult to obtain ink that satisfies this requirement. Therefore, in conventional inkjet printers, a method has been adopted in which the paper to be used is specified and the ink is quickly absorbed into the paper's white area using water-absorbent paper with a high internal porosity.
この方法によれば、特殊加工の施された指定された紙取
外、例えば普通紙等が使用できず、高価な紙を使用しな
ければならなかった。According to this method, it is not possible to use specified paper that has been specially processed, such as plain paper, and expensive paper must be used.
(3》 目 的
本発明は上記の不具合点を解消し、普通紙も使用できる
インクシエンドプリンタヲ提供することにある。(3) Purpose The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide an ink-end printer that can also use plain paper.
(4)構成 本発明の実施例を図面に従って詳説する。(4) Configuration Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

ある。FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing the paper pressing mechanism of the present invention;
The figure shows the operation of the paper pressing mechanism of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a detailed view of the roller having serrated projections used in the present invention.

され、紙押えローラより外径のわずかに不埒い外周に多
数の鋸歯状突起を肩するローラ5とで構成されている。Recording paper 5 is wrapped around grating 1 and then wrapped around grating 1.
The sheet is sandwiched between the paper feeding roller 8 and the platen 1 arranged below the sheet, and is sent out in the direction of arrow B as the platen 1 rotates in the direction of arrow A. A paper presser mechanism according to the present invention is provided above the platen 1, and is arranged between a pair of paper presser rollers 4 on a shaft 6 that presses both ends of the paper 6, and a pair of paper presser ports 1-2. , and a roller 5 having a large number of sawtooth protrusions on its outer periphery, which is slightly erratic in outer diameter than the paper pressing roller.
51はローラ5のカバーで、第1図には1個のローラ5
だけカバー51をかけてあフ、他のローラ5は形状が理
解し易いように外した状態を表わしである。51 is a cover for the roller 5, and one roller 5 is shown in FIG.
Only the cover 51 is attached, and the other rollers 5 are shown removed to make it easier to understand their shapes.

んでローラ5を形成する。FIGS. 6(a) and 6(b) show the details of the roller having serrated projections described above, and a disk 52 having serrated projections is formed by punching out a metal plate with a thickness of about 0.2 mm using a press or the like. The roller 5 is formed by sandwiching it between covers 55 made of plastic from both sides.
第2図にもとづき本発明の詳細な説明する。The present invention will be explained in detail based on FIG.

紙5が接触するのを防ぐ。When plain paper is used as the recording paper 3 and printing is performed with the ink side print door, the paper surface becomes wet depending on the amount of ink ejected, the paper stretches and wrinkles occur, and the platen 1
However, since a plurality of rollers 5 are arranged between a pair of paper pressing rollers 4, the amount of floating can be dispersed, and the paper is printed in the direction of the nozzles of the print head 7. Prevent the paper 5 from coming into contact with each other.

ンとのギヤツブは約1WrInとする。Figure m4 shows ink jetting for all lines on various types of recording paper using the print head and ink manufactured by the present inventor, and using the paper holding mechanism shown in Figure 1 with five rollers 5: ) indicates data. The horizontal axis of each T-number indicates the density of printing dots for one line of recording (hereinafter referred to as printing duty), and the vertical axis indicates the total paper width when A4 size paper is used horizontally, and the density of one line of 80 digits. It shows the amount of elongation of paper in the width direction after printing. Further, the printing duty of 100 times indicates a state of solid printing in which ink is jetted to the negative part. Normally, in the case of character printing, Alfbento and numbers, the average duty is around 15 inches. The average duty for TIS level 1 kanji is 50.
It is around %. Solid printing with a duty of 100 inches is often used for graph ink and the like. The gearing between the print head and 1 latin is approximately 1 WrIn.
以上の条件のもとて第4図(a)〜(f)に示す各種の
紙で実験を行なった結果、(a)の如く特殊加工された
専用紙では、デユーティ100%の印刷を行なっても紙
幅の伸び量は1tMn程度に抑えられているのに対し、
(f゛)の普通紙ではデユーティ100褒の印刷を行な
うと紙の伸び量は5畷程度になってしまう。As a result of conducting experiments on various types of paper shown in Figures 4 (a) to (f) under the above conditions, it was found that 100% duty printing was performed on the specially processed special paper shown in (a). However, while the paper width elongation is suppressed to about 1tMn,
When printing with a duty of 100 on plain paper (f), the amount of paper elongation will be about 5 tatami.

置は、ローラ5を2個備えた場合に印刷ヘッドに記録用
紙が接触しない範囲を示すもので、はぼ1動程度の伸び
量までは紙幅が伸びてもヘッドに記録用紙を触れさせず
にできる。The position of the two-dot chain line shown in the valley experimental data in the m4 diagram indicates the range in which the recording paper does not come into contact with the print head when two rollers 5 are provided, and the amount of elongation is approximately one movement. This can be done without the recording paper touching the head, even if the paper width increases.
第4図(f)の如く普通紙の場合にはデユーティ50チ
以上の印刷を行なうと、印刷ヘッドと紙のこすれ(接触
)が生じてし1う。そこで、ローラ5を5個に増した結
果、伸び量が211n程度捷で伸びても印刷ヘッドと紙
のこすれかなかった。In the case of plain paper as shown in FIG. 4(f), if printing is performed with a duty of 50 pages or more, rubbing (contact) between the print head and the paper will occur. Therefore, as a result of increasing the number of rollers 5 to five, the print head and paper did not rub against each other even if the amount of elongation was approximately 211n during cutting.
(5)効果
以上説明した様に、本発明の紙押え機構はローラ5が円
周上に極く薄い鋸歯状突起が形成されているので、紙が
浮いてこの突起先端に触れても、インクを乾燥しない印
刷面を汚すことがない。(5) Effects As explained above, in the paper holding mechanism of the present invention, the roller 5 has extremely thin serrated protrusions formed on the circumference, so even if the paper floats and touches the tip of the protrusions, the ink will not be absorbed. It will not dry out and will not stain the printed surface.
また、ローラ5はローラ4よシも外径が小さいため、紙
の伸び量が微少の時は紙に触れることがないため、上述
同様に紙面を汚すことがない。Further, since the roller 5 has a smaller outer diameter than the roller 4, it does not touch the paper when the amount of paper elongation is minute, so the paper surface is not stained as described above.
更に、ローラ5はm歯状突起を有する薄い金属板を両側
からプラスチック等の押え板で押え込むだけなので、簡
単かつ安価にできる。Furthermore, since the roller 5 simply presses down a thin metal plate having m-toothed protrusions from both sides with press plates made of plastic or the like, it can be done easily and inexpensively.

本発明の紙押え構造によれば、記録紙を特定することな
く普通紙が利用でき、かつインクやヘッドに制約を与え
ることなく使用できるため、インクジエントグリンタの
利用範囲を拡げることができる。6- According to the paper holding structure of the present invention, plain paper can be used without specifying the recording paper, and it can be used without imposing restrictions on ink or heads, so the range of use of the inkjet printer can be expanded. .
