Benefits of technology

The patent describes a machine that makes it easier to move and machine a medium, resulting in higher precision. In simple terms, this machine helps make things more accurate.

Problems solved by technology

However, assuming that a manual distribution tray, for example, is incorporated in a printing and cutting device as exemplified in Patent Document 2, when the rolled medium (rolled sheet) is loosened to undergo feed conveyance or return conveyance, there may occur a problem that the rolled medium comes into contact with the manual distribution tray and a surface of the medium (medium undergoing the return conveyance during the machining process) is scratched or stained.
As such, there may occur a problem that subtle deviation is caused at each conveyance state (conveyance resistance of the medium) by the influence of gravity, and thus deteriorates the conveying precision.
For this reason, when the return conveyance of the mediums (the sheets extracted one by one) is performed, there also may occur a problem that the medium is caught on the extraction mechanism so that the return conveyance becomes impossible.

second embodiment

[0073]Subsequently, a printing and cutting device 1 according to a second embodiment will be described. The printing and cutting device 1 according to the present embodiment has the same basic configuration as the first embodiment described above, while having a difference, particularly, in the configuration of the medium distribution device for distributing the medium M. Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described focusing on the difference.

[0074]As illustrated in a schematic perspective view of FIG. 7, the printing and cutting device 1 according to the present embodiment is configured to have a manual distribution tray 30A and a sheet-based medium stacked distribution tray 30B as a medium distribution device 30. Further, a schematic side view (partial cross-sectional view) of the medium distribution device 30 is illustrated in FIG. 8.

[0075]To be more specific, as illustrated in schematic views of FIGS. 7 and 8, the manual distribution tray 30A is configured to be arrange...

third embodiment

[0083]Subsequently, a printing and cutting device 1 according to a third embodiment will be described. The printing and cutting device 1 according to the present embodiment has the same basic configuration as the second embodiment above while having a difference, particularly, in the configuration in which a rolled medium can be distributed and machined. Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described focusing on the difference.

[0084]As illustrated in a schematic perspective view of FIG. 9 (the schematic perspective view from the backward direction), the printing and cutting device 1 according to the present embodiment is configured to have a manual distribution tray 30A and a sheet-based medium stacked distribution tray 30B as a medium distribution device 30. Further, the printing and cutting device 1 is equipped with a medium mounting part 32 on which a rolled medium M wound in a roll shape is mounted.

[0085]In the present embodiment, as illustrated in a schematic side view (...

Abstract

Provided are a medium-machining device and medium-machining method capable of improving conveying precision when a medium to be machined is conveyed and thereby machining the medium with high precision. As a solution, the medium-machining device 1 according to the present invention includes a medium machining means 50 (60) for machining a medium M while scanning the top of the medium M, a platen 10 for supporting the medium M during the machining, two medium conveying rollers 15 and 16 provided upstream and downstream in a conveying direction of the medium with respect to the medium machining means 50 (60), and a manual distribution tray 30 having a medium supporting surface 30a arranged in the same surface as a medium supporting surface 10a of the platen 10.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a medium-machining device and a medium-machining method and, more particularly, to a medium-machining device and a medium-machining method for performing machining such as cutting on a medium.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Such a medium-machining device may include, for example, a cutting device for performing cutting on a medium or an ink jet printing device for performing printing on a medium.[0003]To be specific, a cutting device is conventionally known which can carry out desired cutting on a sheet-shaped medium supported on a platen by combining an operation of causing a cutting unit mounted with a cutter blade to move leftward and rightward relative to the medium and an operation of sending the medium in forward and backward directions. On the other hand, an ink jet printing device is also known which can print a desired image on a sheet-shaped medium supported on a platen (medium-supporting device) by combining an operation of causin...
