FIG. 1 shows the paper feeding mechanism of a conventional small printer. Wrap the printing paper 3 around the paper feed roller shaft 2 equipped with a rubber paper feed roller 1, and press the paper press roller 4 between the paper feed rollers 1 and 1 with a predetermined force to pinch the printing paper 3. When rotated by force, the printing paper 3 is sent forward. When the electromagnet 5 is energized as a means for rotating the paper feed roller shaft 2, the paper feed lever 6 rotates about the shaft 7 in the direction of arrow x against the paper feed spring 8 due to the attraction force, and the electromagnet 5
When the power is turned off, the paper feed lever 6 moves in the direction of the arrow y by the force of the paper feed spring 8. This movement causes the paper feed pawl 10 rotatably provided on the paper feed lever 6 to rotate the paper feed pawl wheel 9 provided on the paper feed shaft 2 by a predetermined amount. This movement also rotates the paper feed shaft 2, so that the printing paper 3 is fed out by a predetermined amount. In such a mechanism, the attractive force of the electromagnet 5 requires more than the force of the paper feed spring 8, and therefore requires a very large amount of energy. Therefore, in order to cause a large current to flow through the electromagnet in order to extract a large attractive force, it is necessary to use a drive transistor with a large capacity, resulting in high costs. Furthermore, in order to extract a large amount of attractive force, the size of the electromagnet must be large, which has the disadvantage of increasing the size of the electromagnet. Furthermore, there is a drawback that the collision sound when the electromagnet is attracted when paper is fed, or the collision sound when the paper feed lever 6 moves in the direction of the arrow y due to the force of the paper feed spring, are both extremely loud.

The processes of the printer include a type wheel selection process, a printing process, and a type wheel reset process, which will be described in this order. First, when a printing command is received, the motor rotates to rotate the type wheel shaft 25 in the direction of arrow c.
When the type wheel shaft 25 begins to rotate, the type wheel 21 also begins to rotate at the same time, and a timing pulse is generated in synchronization with this movement. This timing pulse detects the position of each type character 211 on the type wheel 21. When the type 211 to be printed approaches the printing position (position facing the platen 22), the electromagnet is energized in synchronization with the timing pulse signal, and the selection claw 26 is driven in the direction of arrow d by the force of the electromagnet, and selected. The tip of the pawl 26 jumps into a selection tooth 212 provided on the type ring 21 and stops the type ring 21 at that position. Of course, the type to be printed is set at the print position. This operation is performed in the same way for all digits, the type to be printed is set at the printing position, and the type wheel selection process is completed. In the description, the motor and the electromagnet that drives the selection claw 26 are not shown. Next, the printing process will be explained. This drives the platen 22 in the direction of arrow e with the power of the motor, and
4, the selected type 211 is pressed and printed. At this time, printing means such as transferring ink with an ink roller or using an ink ribbon is used for the printed characters 211.

Next is the type wheel reset process, which is a process to return the selected type wheel to its original standby state. Specifically, the type wheel shaft 25 is rotated in the direction opposite to the direction of arrow c, and the type selected in the middle is rotated. The rings 21 are expanded one after another and finally set to the initial state. Having described the printing mechanism of the printer above, the paper feeding mechanism will now be described. The paper feed mechanism has two states.
One is the normal paper feed, which feeds the paper one line during the type wheel reset process after the printer prints, and the other is the fast paper feed, which is used when you do not want to print but want to feed the paper at a faster speed. be.

Explain normal paper feeding. First, when a printing command is received and the motor rotates, the type wheel shaft 25 also rotates and a type wheel selection process is entered, and in synchronization with this movement, the paper feed cam 18 also rotates in the direction of arrow b. When the paper feed cam rotates, the paper feed lever 16, which was initially engaged with the first outer diameter portion 181 of the paper feed cam 18, tries to fall into the first groove 182 and rotates around the shaft 23 as shown by the arrow. Rotate in the f direction. The rotational force is provided by a paper feed lever spring 27. However, when the paper feed lever 16 rotates slightly, the tip 16
1 is caught on the locking lever 19 and does not rotate any further. When the paper feed cam 18 further rotates, the second outer diameter portion 183 moves the paper feed lever 16 back slightly in the direction of arrow g. Even when the paper feed cam 18 further rotates and the second groove portion 184 and the third outer diameter portion 185 come to a position facing the paper feed lever 16, the paper feed lever 16 slightly swings and rotates as before. Since the paper feed claw wheel 12 is not rotated by the paper feed pawl 17, the paper is not fed. Up to this point, the type wheel selection process has been completed. During the printing process, the paper feed lever 16 is moved to the third outer diameter portion 18 of the paper feed cam 18.
Stay in contact with 5. When the printing process is completed and the type wheel reset process begins, the paper feed lever 16
Now attempts to enter the third groove 186. At this time, the lock lever 19 is rotated in the direction of the arrow a by the lock release cam 28, so the paper feed lever 16 completely falls into the groove portion 186, unlike the case where it falls into the first and second grooves 182, 184 described above. Rotate in the direction of arrow f until the minimum diameter part is reached. Due to this movement, the paper feed pawl 17 feeds the paper feed ratchet wheel 12 by one tooth in the direction of arrow i, the paper feed roller also rotates in the same direction, and the printing paper 14 is also fed a fixed amount by the frictional force with the paper feed roller 11. When the first outer diameter portion 181 of the paper feed cam 18 engages with the paper feed lever 16, the paper feed lever 16 is returned in the direction of arrow g, and the paper feed claw 17 also slides on the outer diameter of the claw of the paper feed ratchet wheel 12. It is returned to its original position and comes to a position where it engages with the claw next to the claw that was biting together until now. The locking lever 19 returns to the position where the tip 161 of the paper feed lever 16 locks.
Of course, the lock release cam 28 is already connected to the lock lever 1.
It does not engage with 9. The printer has now completely returned to its initial state, and the above is an explanation of the normal paper feeding state. Next, the state of paper fast forwarding will be explained. This is different from normal paper feeding because the printer
The paper is fed twice or three times during the cycle, and the paper is fed at a fast speed. First, when the motor starts moving in response to a print command, the paper feed lever 16 is disengaged from the first outer diameter portion 181 of the paper feed cam 18 . At this time, just before it is about to come off, the electromagnet 20
energize and drive the locking lever 19 in the direction of arrow a. Therefore, during normal paper feeding, the paper feed lever 16 is locked by the locking lever 19 and does not feed the paper, but in this case, the paper feed lever 16 is completely engaged with the groove 18 of the paper feed cam.
2, the paper is fed by the paper feed claw 17, paper feed ratchet wheel 12, and paper feed roller 11. This is the first timing chart in Figure 3.
This is paper feeding. Similarly, when the second groove portion 184 of the paper feed cam 18 comes to a position opposite to the paper feed lever 16, the paper feed lever 16 swings again to feed the printing paper, and the second paper feed in the timing chart is started. be done. At this time, the paper feed lever 19 is connected to the electromagnet 20.
The operation of energizing the paper feed cam 18 before it falls into the second groove 184 of the paper feed cam 18 and moving the locking lever 19 in the direction of the arrow a is exactly the same as in the case of the first paper feed. Further, the timing of energizing the electromagnet 20 is based on the timing pulse, as is clear from FIG. When the print wheel selection process is completed and the printing process begins, the paper feed lever 16 is located at the third outer diameter portion 185 of the paper feed cam 18, as described in the explanation of normal paper feed. When the printer enters the type wheel reset stroke, the lock release cam 28 rotates in the direction h and drives the lock lever 19 in the direction of the arrow a, and then the paper feed lever 16 falls into the third groove 186 and returns to normal position. Perform the same movement as paper feed, and
Perform the third paper feed shown in the figure. This completes the rapid paper feeding of the printer, in which the paper is fed three times in one print cycle. FIG. 4 shows another embodiment according to the present invention. This is a combination of a paper feed claw and a paper feed lever of the device shown in FIG. 2, and 31 is a paper feed lever including a paper feed claw, and 32 is a paper feed ratchet wheel. A hole 312 at the center of the paper feed lever is formed in an elliptical shape so that the claw portion 311 can slide on the outer periphery of the paper feed ratchet wheel 32 when the paper feed lever 31 rotates in the direction of arrow g. The rest of the configuration is the same as the device shown in FIG. 2, so it is omitted in FIG. 4. Furthermore, since the operation is similar to that of the apparatus shown in FIG. 2, a description thereof will be omitted.

As explained above, according to the present invention, a plurality of cam parts are formed on the paper feed cam member, so if the electromagnet is energized arbitrarily once or repeatedly, the paper feed cam member can be connected to the paper feed cam member. Since the amount of recording paper required can be varied by engaging the paper feed lever, there is no need to continuously energize the electromagnet, allowing for low power consumption. Furthermore,
Since it has a structure in which the paper feed ratchet wheel and paper feed pawl are directly engaged, it eliminates loss and can reliably feed the desired amount of paper without causing paper feed malfunctions. In addition, by adopting a structure in which one end of the rotating paper feed lever drives a ratchet wheel and the other end is driven by a cam, the force required for paper feed is reduced, and the cam also controls the paper feed lever when feeding paper. Since the paper is moved gradually, it is possible to provide a quiet paper feeding mechanism with no impact noise.

[Scope of Claims] 1. A paper feeding device for a small printer that selectively varies the feeding amount of recording paper, comprising: a paper feeding roller, a paper presser roller connected to the paper feeding roller, and a roller coaxially connected to the paper feeding roller. a paper feed pawl that is fixed to the paper feed pawl and has a plurality of teeth; a paper feed pawl that intermittently engages with the paper feed pawl to rotate the paper feed roller synchronously; and the paper feed pawl is provided at one end. a paper feed lever that swings about a fulcrum; a spring member that biases the paper feed lever in a direction in which the paper feed pawl rotates the paper feed ratchet wheel about the fulcrum; a rotating paper feeding cam member having a plurality of cam parts disposed opposite to the paper feeding lever; and a rotating paper feeding cam member that engages with the other end of the paper feeding lever to move the paper feeding lever to the paper feeding cam member. a locking member that is held in a non-engaged state; and an electromagnet that activates the locking member to disengage the paper feed lever so that the paper feed lever can be engaged with the paper feed cam member. each of the plurality of cam parts of the paper feed cam member includes a first portion that pulls up the paper feed lever against the spring member when engaged with the paper feed lever; and a second portion that gradually moves the paper feed lever by the biasing force of the spring member so as to rotate the ratchet wheel, and the electromagnet is configured so that the paper feed lever is pulled up by the first portion of the cam portion. When the second portion of the cam member and the paper feed lever face each other, the locking lever becomes non-conducting and the locking lever is locked to the paper feed lever by the biasing force of the spring. A paper feed device for a small printer, characterized in that the paper feed device is controlled to be energized so as to be removed from a paper feed lever.
