[0018] 1. First Implementation Method

[0019] First, the structure of the recording device 11 will be described. The recording device 11 is, for example, a printer that performs recording (printing) by spraying ink, which is an example of a liquid, onto a medium S such as paper.

[0020] In the figures, the X-axis represents the width direction of the recording device 11, the Y-axis represents the depth direction of the recording device 11, and the Z-axis represents the height direction of the recording device 11. In this embodiment, the +Y direction side of the recording device 11 is the front side, and the -Y direction side is the back side.

[0021] like Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, the recording device 11 includes a housing portion 12. The housing portion 12 is a box-shaped package. On the front side of the recording device 11, there is a receiving portion 50 for accommodating the medium S on which recording has been performed, and a receiving portion 19 for collecting the shredded material of the medium S.

[0022] Figure 1 This indicates that the receiving part 50 is in a retracted position towards the housing part 12. Figure 2This indicates the accommodating state in which the accommodating portion 50 extends from the housing portion 12 in the +Y direction.

[0023] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, when the receiving portion 50 is in the stored state, the receiving portion 50 covers the storing portion 19 and forms part of the encapsulation of the recording device 11.

[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, an opening 13 is formed on the front side of the housing portion 12 of the recording device 11. The media holding portion 16 is housed inside the housing portion 12 in a state that allows it to be pulled out through the opening 13.

[0025] The media holding part 16 includes a front plate part 22 and a support wall 23. The front plate part 22 forms part of the encapsulation of the recording device 11 when it is housed in the housing part 12. The support wall 23 supports the roll body R into which the long strip of media S is rolled into a cylindrical shape in a rotatable manner.

[0026] By extracting the medium holding part 16 through the opening 13, it is possible to replace or replenish the roll body R.

[0027] In this embodiment, the storage part 19 is detachably mounted on the housing part 12.

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, in addition to the medium holding part 16, the housing part 12 also houses the recording part 31, the conveying part 35, the cutting part 34, the discharge part 20, etc.

[0029] Specifically, a recording unit 31 is housed above the space where the media holding section 16 is housed, and the recording unit 31 records on the media S that is unwound from the roll body R. The recording unit 31 has a liquid ejection head 32 capable of ejecting ink, an example of a recording material.

[0030] The medium S has a first surface S1, which is the surface on which ink is sprayed, and a second surface S2, which is its back surface. The medium S is held in the medium holding part 16 with the second surface S2 forming the inner circumferential surface of the roll body R.

[0031] The recording device 11 includes a conveying section 35 that conveys the medium S along a conveying direction from the medium holding section 16 toward the discharge port 21 provided on the front side of the housing section 12. The conveying section 35 includes a plurality of conveying roller pairs arranged along the conveying direction.

[0032] In this embodiment, the transport direction of the medium S is upward (+Z direction) from the medium holding part 16 and then forward (+Y direction).

[0033] A heating unit 33 is disposed downstream of the recording unit 31 in the conveying direction of the medium S. The heating unit 33 heats the medium S, thereby drying the ink attached to the medium S.

[0034] A cutting section 34 is disposed downstream of the heating section 33 to cut the medium S. The cutting section 34 cuts the portion of the long strip of medium S that has been recorded per unit length. Thus, the medium S becomes a single sheet.

[0035] Below the cutting section 34 is a storage section 19 for collecting the shavings of the medium S. The storage section 19 is a container with an inlet 19a opening at the top. In this embodiment, the cutting section 34 cuts off the blank portion between the rear end of the previously cut single sheet of medium S and the front end of the next cut medium S. The shavings (blank portion) of the cut medium S fall downwards and are collected in the storage section 19 via the inlet 19a. Furthermore, as... Figure 3 As shown, by removing the storage section 19 from the housing section 12, the cutting chips stored in the storage section 19 can be removed.

[0036] A discharge section 20 is provided downstream of the cutting section 34 in the conveying direction, the discharge section 20 discharging the single sheet of medium S that has been cut by the cutting section 34. The discharge section 20 has a discharge port 21, from which the medium S is discharged. The discharge port 21 is disposed on the front side (the side on the +Y direction side) of the housing section 12, and above the opening 13 or the receiving section 19.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, a receiving portion 50 for accommodating the discharged medium S is disposed downstream of the discharge port 21 in the conveying direction. The receiving portion 50 is plate-shaped and has a receiving surface 50a for accommodating the discharged medium S. By positioning a second surface S2, which is opposite to the first surface S1 of the medium S being recorded, opposite to the receiving surface 50a, the medium S is thereby accommodated in the receiving portion 50.

[0038] Next, the detailed structure of the storage section 19 and the housing section 50 will be explained.

[0039] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the recording device 11 has a structure in which the storage section 19 and the receiving section 50 are integrated. Furthermore, as... Figure 3 As shown, the integrated storage section 19 and the receiving section 50 are configured to be detachable from the housing section 12.

[0040] Figure 5 This indicates the storage status of compartment 50. Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 This indicates the receiving state of the receiving part 50. The receiving part 50 and the storage part 19 are capable of being displaced to the storage state and the receiving state by means of the rotating part 60.

[0041] like Figure 8 as well as Figure 9 As shown, a rotating part 60 is provided at one end of the receiving part 50 on the discharge part side (discharge part 20 side), which is rotatable relative to the receiving part 19. In this embodiment, the rotating part 60 is composed of a shaft part 61 and a space part 70.

[0042] In this embodiment, the shaft portion 61 is provided on the storage portion 19, and the space portion 70 is provided in the receiving portion 50.

[0043] like Figure 8 As shown, the shaft portion 61 is disposed at the +Y direction end and the +Z axis direction end of the housing portion 19. More specifically, a plate-shaped protrusion 64 protruding in the +Z direction is formed at the +Y direction end of the housing portion 19, and the shaft portion 61 is formed at the top end of this protrusion 64. The shaft portions 61 are respectively disposed near both ends along the X-axis direction of the housing portion 19. Each shaft portion 61 is formed along the X-axis.

[0044] like Figure 7 As shown, the receiving portion 50 is composed of a frame formed by utilizing a first plate portion 51 and a second plate portion 52. The first plate portion 51 and the second plate portion 52 are approximately the same size.

[0045] The second plate portion 52 is arranged such that its surface is opposite to the receiving surface 50a of the first plate portion 51.

[0046] like Figure 9 As shown, a recess 71 is formed on the surface opposite to the receiving surface 50a of the first plate portion 51, at a position corresponding to the shaft portion 61. The recess 71 is rectangular when viewed from above and is formed to be larger than the shaft diameter of the shaft portion 61. Specifically, in Figure 9 In the middle, the recess 71 is formed to be larger in the direction along the Y-axis, the direction along the X-axis, and the direction along the Z-axis compared to the shaft portion 61.

[0047] Furthermore, by placing the shaft portion 61 within the recess 71 of the first plate portion 51, the first plate portion 51 and the second plate portion 52 are joined together, thereby forming a space portion 70 in the portion where the recess 71 is provided. The shaft portion 61 is disposed within this space portion 70. The shaft portion 61 disposed within the space portion 70 is combined with the first plate portion 51 and the second plate portion 52 to prevent it from falling out of the space portion 70. Thus, the storage portion 19 and the receiving portion 50 are integrated.

[0048] In addition, such as Figure 7 as well as Figure 9 As shown, a recessed groove 52a is provided on the second plate portion 52 at a position corresponding to the protrusion 64 to avoid interference with the protrusion 64. As a result, the receiving portion 50 with the space portion 70 and the storage portion 19 with the shaft portion 61 can rotate relative to each other.

[0049] Furthermore, since the space portion 70 is larger than the shaft portion 61, when the receiving portion 50 is in the stored state, the receiving portion 50 can move relative to the storing portion 19 in the Z-axis direction, and when the receiving portion 50 is in the stored state, the receiving portion 50 can move relative to the storing portion 19 in the approximately Y-axis direction.

[0050] In addition, such as Figure 9 As shown, the opposing surface 71a, formed along a direction intersecting the extending direction of the shaft portion 61 of the recess 71 (along the X-axis direction), abuts against the shaft portion 61 when the receiving portion 50 is in the retracted state. Therefore, when the receiving portion 50 is in the retracted state, the movement of the receiving portion 50 relative to the receiving portion 19 in the -Z direction is restricted. In other words, the position of the receiving portion 50 relative to the receiving portion 19 is maintained in the retracted state. Therefore, by setting the receiving portion 50 to the retracted state when the recording device 11 is not in use, it is possible to suppress the protrusion of the receiving portion 50 from the housing portion 12 in the +Y direction, thereby achieving a compact recording device 11.

[0051] In addition, such as Figure 7 As shown, a recess 66 is provided on the +Y direction side of the storage portion 19, that is, on the surface opposite to the receiving portion 50. On the other hand, a protrusion 76 is provided on the surface of the second plate portion 52 of the receiving portion 50, which is opposite to the storage portion 19, so as to fit into the recess 66 of the storage portion 19. Furthermore, when the receiving portion 50 is in the stored state, the protrusion 76 fits into the recess 66. Thus, when the recording device 11 is moved, for example, when the receiving portion 50 is in the stored state, the wobbling of the receiving portion 50 relative to the housing portion 12 is suppressed.

[0052] like Figure 2 as well as Figure 6 As shown, when the receiving portion 50 is in the receiving state, the +Y direction end (the other end) of the receiving portion 50 is positioned at a higher position compared to the discharge port 21 position of the discharge portion 20. In this embodiment, the receiving surface 50a of the receiving portion 50 is inclined upwards in the +Y direction from the discharge port 21 side. As a result, the medium S discharged from the discharge portion 20 can be reliably received.

[0053] Specifically, such as Figure 6 as well as Figure 8As shown, at both ends of the storage section 19 along the X-axis, support surfaces 62 are provided to support the receiving section 50 when it is in the receiving state. These support surfaces 62 are inclined surfaces that slope upwards from the -Y direction toward the +Y direction when viewed along the +X direction. In this embodiment, the support surface 62 is inclined upwards at approximately 20° relative to the horizontal direction.

[0054] On the other hand, such as Figure 9 As shown, grooves 72 are formed on the surface opposite to the receiving surface 50a of the receiving portion 50, at both ends along the X-axis, at positions corresponding to the support surface 62 in the receiving state. An abutment surface 72a is provided in the groove 72 that can abut against the support surface 62.

[0055] In addition, such as Figure 8 As shown, a protrusion 65 is provided at the upper end of the storage portion 19, and the protrusion 65 has an abutment surface 65a that abuts against the storage surface 50a in the stored state. The abutment surface 65a extends in the direction along the X-axis.

[0056] Next, the method for moving the receiving section 50 from the storage state to the receiving state will be explained.

[0057] First, in the retracted state, the lower end of the receiving portion 50 is pulled out in the +Y direction relative to the receiving portion 19 (shell portion 12). This causes the protrusion 76 of the receiving portion 50 to disengage from the recess 66 of the receiving portion 19, allowing the receiving portion 50 to rotate about the shaft 61 of the receiving portion 19. Then, the receiving portion 50 is further rotated upwards relative to the receiving portion 19. Furthermore, when the contact surface 72a of the receiving portion 50 abuts against the support surface 62 of the receiving portion 19, the rotational movement of the receiving portion 50 relative to the receiving portion 19 is restricted. With the contact surface 72a and the support surface 62 abutting, the receiving portion 50 is pressed towards the discharge port 21 (-Y direction). The space portion 70 allows the receiving portion 50 to move in the -Y direction relative to the receiving portion 19. By moving the receiving portion 50 in the -Y direction, a portion of the discharge port 21 side of the receiving surface 50a comes into contact with the abutment surface 65a. Thus, the receiving portion 50 is held by the abutment surface 65a and the support surface 62, and the receiving surface 50a of the receiving portion 50 is maintained in a receiving state where it is inclined upwards from the discharge port 21 side along the +Y direction. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the angle of the receiving surface 50a relative to the horizontal plane is approximately 20°.

[0058] Next, the method for moving the receiving section 50 from the receiving state to the storage state will be explained.

[0059] First, in the receptacle state, the receptacle 50 is pulled out in the +Y direction relative to the storage portion 19 (housing portion 12). This causes the receptacle 50 to disengage from the contact surface 65a and the support surface 62, allowing it to rotate about the shaft 61 of the storage portion 19. Then, the receptacle 50 is further rotated downwards relative to the storage portion 19. When the receptacle 50 rotates downwards, the shaft 61 abuts against the opposing surface 71a, thus supporting the receptacle 50 by the storage portion 19. With the lower end of the receptacle 50 facing downwards, the lower end of the receptacle 50 is pressed in in the -Y direction relative to the storage portion 19 (housing portion 12). This causes the protrusion 76 of the receptacle 50 to engage with the recess 66 of the storage portion 19, maintaining the receptacle state.

[0060] Next, the extension 80 of the receiving section 50 will be described.

[0061] like Figure 2 as well as Figure 10 As shown, the receiving portion 50 has an extension portion 80 that can extend the receiving surface 50a in the conveying direction (from the discharge port 21 toward the general +Y direction to convey the medium S).

[0062] In this embodiment, the extension portion 80 is plate-shaped and smaller than the first plate portion 51 and the second plate portion 52. The extension portion 80 is positioned between the first plate portion 51 and the second plate portion 52 along the discharge direction. Figure 10 It is stored by being pulled out in the +Y direction.

[0063] like Figure 7 As shown, a cutout 78 is formed on the second plate portion 52, through which a portion of the extension portion 80 is exposed in the received state. This allows the extension portion 80 to be easily pulled out by placing a finger on the exposed portion. The extension portion 80 has a stop member, thus holding the extension portion 80 at a predetermined extraction amount. By having the extension portion 80, the receiving surface 50a (including the receiving surface 50b) in the receiving portion 50, which can accommodate the medium S, can be extended. This allows for the accommodating of a longer medium S. Furthermore, the extension portion 80 can be configured according to the length of the medium S discharged from the discharge port 21. For example, the length of the extension portion 80 related to the conveying direction can be extended. Moreover, the extraction structure can be configured with three or more sections. Furthermore, the extension portion 80 can also be a folding structure instead of an extraction structure.

[0064] Next, the limiting part 90 of the receiving part 50 will be explained.

[0065] like Figure 2 as well as Figure 10As shown, the receiving portion 50 is provided with a limiting portion 90 at its downstream end in the conveying direction (from the discharge port 21 toward the general +Y direction of conveying the medium S), the limiting portion 90 restricting the movement of the contained medium S in the conveying direction.

[0066] The limiting unit 90 is switched to the limiting state by rotating. Figure 2 ) and retreat state ( Figure 10 The restricted state is a state in which the object protrudes upward from the receiving surface 50a (50b), and the retracted state is a state in which the object and the receiving surface 50a (50b) are on the same surface.

[0067] In addition, the limiting part 90 in this embodiment is provided at the downstream end of the extension part 80.

[0068] like Figure 2 as well as Figure 10 As shown, the limiting portion 90 is plate-shaped. The limiting portion 90 is smaller than the extension portion 80. A recess 85 is provided on a portion of the receiving surface 50b of the extension portion 80, and it is configured such that the limiting portion 90 can be received in the recess 85. The thickness of the limiting portion 90 is equal to the depth of the recess 85. Therefore, in the retracted state, it becomes a flat surface where the receiving surface 50b and the limiting portion 90 are connected.

[0069] The downstream end of the limiting part 90 is provided with a shaft that can rotate relative to the extension part 80, and a stop that restricts the rotated position of the limiting part 90 at a predetermined position.

[0070] When the limiting part 90 is moved from the retracted state to the limiting state, a finger is inserted into the cutout 85a provided in the recess 85, causing the limiting part 90 to rotate about the axis. The rotated limiting part 90 is held in a predetermined position by a stop. In this limiting state, the angle between the receiving surface 50b and the limiting part 90 is 100° to 130°.

[0071] In addition, in this embodiment, the limiting part 90 and the extension part 80 are housed together between the first plate part 51 and the second plate part 52.

[0072] The limiting part 90 can suppress the falling of the medium S from the receiving part 50. In addition, when the receiving part 50 is in the stored state, there is no protrusion from the housing part 12 in the +Y direction, thus achieving compactness.

[0073] Furthermore, in this embodiment, there is a case where a curled medium S is discharged from the discharge port 21. In this case, the discharged medium S is contained in a state where it is curled upwards and convex relative to the receiving surfaces 50a and 50b. In this state, when the next medium S is discharged, the downstream end of the medium S contacts the previously contained medium S, thereby pushing the previously contained medium S downstream. However, the downstream end of the previously contained medium S contacts the limiting portion 90, thereby restricting the movement of the medium S downstream. And the next discharged medium S is supported on the upper surface of the previously discharged medium S. That is, the mediums are contained in the receiving portion 50 according to the discharge order of the mediums S.

[0074] Here, the front portion 19b and the receiving portion 50 on the transport direction side (+Y direction side) of the storage section 19 are formed of light-transmitting components. For example, the storage section 19 and the receiving portion 50 are formed of transparent plastic material.

[0075] Therefore, regardless of whether the storage section 50 is in the retracted state ( Figure 1 ) or the accommodating part 50 is in the accommodating state. Figure 2 Under these conditions, the interior of the storage section 19 can be visually confirmed, thereby making it easy to check the storage status of the cut chips stored in the storage section 19.

[0076] Alternatively, the structure can be such that the front portion 19b of the conveying direction side of the storage section 19 is formed of a light-transmitting component, and an opening is provided in the receiving section 50. For example, a through hole such as a slit can be provided in the center of the receiving section 50. Even with this method, the same effect as described above can be achieved.

[0077] As described above, according to this embodiment, the storage section 19 and the receiving section 50 are configured as a single unit. Therefore, compared to a structure where the storage section 19 and the receiving section 50 are separate units, there is no need for a place to store the receiving section 50. Furthermore, it is possible to prevent the receiving section 50 from being lost.

[0078] Furthermore, when removing the shredded material stored in the storage section 19, for example, in the case where the storage section 19 and the receiving section 50 are separate structures, it is necessary to first remove the receiving section 50 from the housing section 12, and then remove the storage section 19 from the housing section 12. However, according to this embodiment, since the storage section 19 and the receiving section 50 are removed from the housing section 12 simultaneously ( Figure 3 This allows for easy removal of cutting chips, thereby improving operability.

[0079] 2. Second Implementation Method

[0080] Next, the second embodiment will be described.

[0081] The same symbols are used for structures identical to those in the first embodiment, and repeated descriptions are omitted. Although the first embodiment is designed with the receiving portion 50 tilted upwards in the receiving state, it is not limited to this.

[0082] In this embodiment, such as Figure 11 As shown, when the receiving portion 50 is in the receiving state, the +Y direction end (the other end) of the receiving portion 50 is positioned lower than the position of the discharge port 21 of the discharge portion 20. In this embodiment, the receiving surface 50a of the receiving portion 50 slopes downward from the discharge port 21 side toward the +Y direction. In this case, to maintain the position of the receiving portion 50 in the receiving state, it is only necessary to change the angle of the support surface 62 of the receiving portion 19 that is in contact with the receiving portion 50 or the angle of the abutment surface 65a of the protrusion 65.

[0083] Even in this manner, the medium S discharged from the outlet 21 can still be contained.

[0084] 3. Third Implementation Method

[0085] Next, the third embodiment will be described.

[0086] For structures identical to those in the first embodiment, the same symbols are used, and repeated descriptions are omitted.

[0087] like Figure 12 As shown, the storage portion 190 of the recording apparatus 11A in this embodiment has an inclined surface 190b on the transport direction side (+Y direction side) of the storage portion 190 that extends forward (+Y direction) from top to bottom. This inclined surface serves as the receiving surface 190b for receiving the medium S.

[0088] The storage section 190 is a frustum-shaped container with an inlet 190a at the top. The receiving surface 190b extends from the outlet 21 to the lower end and slopes in the +Y direction. That is, the storage section 190 and the receiving section are integrally formed.

[0089] According to this embodiment, in addition to the effects described above, the volume of cut chips that can be stored in the storage section 190 can be further increased.
