[0014] 1. Implementation Method

[0015] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the general structure of the recording apparatus, which is a processing device according to the embodiment, will be described. In the coordinate system indicated in the drawings, the recording apparatus 10 is placed on a horizontal mounting surface, and three mutually orthogonal imaginary axes are designated as the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis. The X-axis is an imaginary axis parallel to the left-right direction of the recording apparatus 10. The Y-axis is an imaginary axis parallel to the front-back direction of the recording apparatus 10. The Z-axis is an imaginary axis parallel to the height direction of the recording apparatus 10. The top side of the arrow markings representing the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis is designated as the "+ side," and the base side is designated as the "- side." The recording apparatus, as a processing unit, includes a recording unit that performs recording on a medium. The recording apparatus illustrated in this embodiment is a large-format printer that unwinds a long strip of medium rolled into a cylinder and performs recording by inkjet printing. The large-format printer is a printer capable of recording on a long strip of medium with a width of 297 mm or more, equivalent to the short side width of A3 size.

[0016] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the recording device 10 includes a recording section 30 and a medium receiving section 60, wherein the recording section 30 is housed in the housing 12 and performs recording on the medium 22, and the medium receiving section 60 receives the medium 22 discharged from the housing 12.

[0017] The recording device 10 has a generally rectangular cuboid-shaped housing 12 that is longer in the left-right direction. The housing 12 has a front wall 13, a rear wall 14, a first side wall 15, a second side wall 16, and a top wall 17. The housing 12 is connected to a base frame 19, which is supported by feet 11. The recording device 10 is mounted on a mounting surface S via the feet 11. In the recording device 10, the Z-direction between the base frame 19 and the top wall 17 is the height direction of the recording device 10. The X-direction between the first side wall 15 and the second side wall 16 is the left-right direction of the recording device 10. The Y-direction between the front wall 13 and the rear wall 14 is the front-back direction of the recording device 10. When the recording device 10 is positioned on a horizontal plane, the Z-direction is parallel to the vertical line.

[0018] Inside the housing 12, in addition to the recording section 30 that records on the medium 22, there is also a storage section 20 for storing the medium 22 in a cylindrical roll 25, a conveying section 40 for conveying the medium 22, and a cutting section 50 for cutting the medium 22.

[0019] Multiple openings are formed on the front wall 13 of the housing 12. A roll body receiving opening 27 for receiving the roll body 25 is formed on the base frame 19 side below the front wall 13. Furthermore, an opening 53 is formed above the roll body receiving opening 27, and the opening 53 has the functions of a paper discharge port for discharging the recorded medium 22 and an unwinding port for unwinding the receiving member 67 (described later) that holds the discharged medium 22. The medium 22 is discharged from the upper side of the opening 53, and the receiving member 67 is unwound from the lower side of the opening 53. Although a structure in this embodiment is illustrated in which the paper discharge port and the unwinding port are formed by a single opening 53, a structure in which the paper discharge port and the unwinding port are provided independently is also possible.

[0020] A cylindrical roll 25, formed by winding a long strip of medium 22 onto a core component 23, is stored in a storage section 20 in a manner detachable from the roll storage opening 27. In this embodiment, the storage section 20 is configured to store two rolls 25 that are longer in the X direction, arranged side-by-side along the Z direction. A pair of retaining members 28 are installed at both ends of the rolls 25, and these retaining members 28 are rotatable relative to the storage section 20. By rotating the rolls 25, the medium 22 wound on the rolls 25 is fed towards the rear wall 14 inside the housing 12.

[0021] The conveying unit 40 conveys the medium 22 fed out from the drum body 25. The conveying unit 40 includes a conveying path forming unit 41, an intermediate roller 42, and a conveying roller 43.

[0022] The transport path forming section 41 is provided in a manner corresponding to each of the two roll bodies 25. The transport path forming section 41 is located on the rear wall 14 side relative to the two roll bodies 25 housed in the housing section 20. The transport path forming section 41 forms a transport path 44 that guides the medium 22 delivered from the roll body 25 by the rotation drive of the roll body 25 to the rear wall 14 side of the housing 12.

[0023] Intermediate roller 42 and conveyor roller 43 convey the medium 22, which has passed through the conveying path 44, to the recording unit 30. Intermediate roller 42 and conveyor roller 43 are composed of a pair of rollers, namely a drive roller and a driven roller, supported in a manner that allows rotation along an axis in the X direction. Intermediate roller 42 and conveyor roller 43 clamp the medium 22 from both sides using the drive roller and driven roller. Driven by the rotation of the drive rollers of intermediate roller 42 and conveyor roller 43, the medium 22 is conveyed through the conveying path 44 to the support platform 31, and then conveyed on the support platform 31 from the rear wall 14 side to the front wall 13 side. Furthermore, although in Figure 3 The diagram shows the state of medium 22 being delivered from both sides of the two roll bodies 25, but in actual recording, medium 22 is delivered from either of the two roll bodies 25.

[0024] The recording unit 30 is configured to include a support platform 31, a guide shaft 32, a carriage 33, and a recording head 34.

[0025] The support platform 31 is located on the upper wall 17 side compared to the receiving section 20. The support platform 31 is a plate-shaped component extending along the X direction within the housing 12, and supports the medium 22 being conveyed through the conveying section 40. The guide shaft 32 is located on the upper wall 17 side compared to the support platform 31. The guide shaft 32 is a rod-shaped component extending in the X direction. The guide shaft 32 supports the carriage 33 in a slidable manner.

[0026] The recording head 34 is mounted on the carriage 33. The recording head 34 is located on the support platform 31 side relative to the carriage 33. The recording head 34 is configured to reciprocate along the guide shaft 32 together with the carriage 33. The recording head 34 is connected to a cartridge 35 containing ink via a flexible tube (not shown). The cartridge 35 is housed on the side closer to the second side wall 16 than the housing section 20, and on the side closer to the upper wall 17 than the housing section 20. The recording head 34 records the medium 22 by ejecting ink from the medium 22 supported by the support platform 31 while moving along the X direction.

[0027] The cutting section 50 is located on the front wall 13 side compared to the recording section 30. The cutting section 50 has a fixed blade and a movable blade that is movable relative to the fixed blade, and cuts the medium 22 located between the fixed blade and the movable blade. The cut medium 22 is supported by the paper discharge port member 51 and discharged to the outside of the housing 12, wherein the paper discharge port member 51 guides the medium 22 toward the upper side of the opening 53 formed on the front wall 13.

[0028] Furthermore, the recording device 10 has an input section 59. The input section 59 is provided on the upper surface of the upper wall 17 of the housing 12. The input section 59 is located at the corner formed by the portion connected to the front wall 13 relative to the upper wall 17 and the portion connected to the second side wall 16 relative to the upper wall 17. The input section 59 is configured as, for example, a liquid crystal display device with a touch panel, and is used when the user inputs various types of information.

[0029] like Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the medium receiving part 60 is composed of an operating part 61, a support part 63, a rotating shaft 65, a receiving component 67, etc.

[0030] The rotating shaft 65 is disposed inside the housing 12 between the receiving section 20 and the paper discharge port component 51. The rotating shaft 65 is cylindrical in shape with a longer length in the X direction, and its length is longer than the width of the medium 22. The rotating shaft 65 is supported in a manner that allows it to rotate relative to the housing 12.

[0031] The operating part 61 is a long, rod-shaped component in the X direction. Both ends of the operating part 61 are supported by a pair of support parts 63, which protrude from the front wall 13 side of the housing 12 in a retractable manner in the +Y direction. The pair of support parts 63 extend outward from between the rotation shaft 65 and the receiving part 20. That is, the operating part 61 can be separated from the housing 12, and can be displaced between an installed state on the housing 12 and a separated state, with the retraction of the pair of support parts 63.

[0032] The receiving member 67 is a flexible, elongated, sheet-like component. One end of the receiving member 67 is connected to the rotating shaft 65, and the other end is connected to the operating part 61. The rotating shaft 65 is configured to rotate forward or backward in conjunction with the forward and backward movement of the support part 63.

[0033] like Figure 5 as well as Figure 6As shown, a rack 64 is provided on at least one of the pair of support portions 63. The rack 64 is a member with multiple teeth cut at equal intervals on a flat bar. In the recording device 10 of this embodiment, the rack 64 is provided on the -Z side surface of the support portions 63 on both sides. On the other hand, a rotating shaft gear 66 is provided on the rotating shaft 65, which rotates in a manner that is linked to the movement of the rack 64. Furthermore, a speed-increasing mechanism 70 is provided between the rack 64 and the rotating shaft gear 66 to increase the rotation speed of the rotating shaft gear 66.

[0034] The speed-increasing mechanism 70 has a first compound gear 71 and a second compound gear 74, which are compound gears stacked together by gears with different numbers of teeth. In the first compound gear 71, a first gear 72 that meshes with a rack 64 and a second gear 73 that has a larger diameter and more teeth than the first gear 72 are formed on the same shaft. Through the meshing of the rack 64 and the first gear 72, the linear motion caused by the forward and backward movement of the support 63 is converted into rotational force of the first compound gear 71. In the second compound gear 74, a third gear 75 that meshes with the second gear 73 and has a smaller diameter and fewer teeth than the second gear 73, and a fourth gear 76 that has a larger diameter and more teeth than the third gear 75 are formed on the same shaft.

[0035] For example, when the number of teeth on the second gear 73 is twice the number of teeth on the first gear 72, the third gear 75, which meshes with the second gear 73, rotates at twice the speed compared to the case where the first gear 72 and the third gear 75 directly mesh. That is, the first compound gear 71 increases the rotational speed of the second compound gear 74. Similarly, the second compound gear 74 increases the rotational speed of the rotating shaft gear 66.

[0036] Furthermore, although this embodiment illustrates a speed-increasing mechanism 70 composed of two compound gears, a first compound gear 71 and a second compound gear 74, it may also be a speed-increasing mechanism composed of one compound gear or three or more compound gears. Additionally, it may be a speed-increasing mechanism constructed by combining multiple spur gears of different sizes and diameters with different numbers of teeth.

[0037] When the operating unit 61 is displaced from the separated state to the installed state, the receiving member 67 is wound onto the rotating shaft 65 and then housed inside the housing 12. Furthermore, when the operating unit 61 is displaced from the installed state to the separated state, the receiving member 67 is unwound from the rotating shaft 65 via the lower side of the opening 53 towards the outside of the housing 12, thereby becoming capable of accommodating the medium 22 discharged from the upper side of the opening 53. In this embodiment, the recording device 10 is configured such that the unwinding amount of the receiving member 67 unwound from the rotating shaft 65 is greater than the movement amount of the pair of support portions 63 in the +Y direction due to the speed-increasing mechanism 70. As a result, the receiving member 67 is in a slack state between the operating unit 61 and the rotating shaft 65.

[0038] The operating section 61 has a front plate 62 that, in the installed state, becomes part of the front wall 13 of the housing 12. The front plate 62 is a plate-shaped component that extends from the operating section 61 in the +Z direction and is longer in the X direction. In the installed state, the opening 53 is blocked by the front plate 62. In the installed state, the front plate 62 and the front wall 13 are flush. In this embodiment, the lower part of the opening 53 for unwinding the receiving component 67 is blocked by the front plate 62.

[0039] Furthermore, although this embodiment illustrates a structure in which the unwinding amount of the receiving member 67 exceeds the movement amount of the support portion 63 by using the speed-increasing mechanism 70, it is not limited to this. For example, by using a rotating shaft having a longer outer perimeter than the movement amount of the support portion 63 required to rotate the rotating shaft one revolution, it is possible to achieve a structure in which the unwinding amount of the receiving member 67 exceeds the movement amount of the support portion 63.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, the medium receiving portion 60 has an abutment portion 80 and an auxiliary roller 85. The abutment portion 80 abuts against the outer peripheral surface 67a of the roller-shaped receiving member 67 wound on the rotating shaft 65, thereby pressing the receiving member 67 against the rotating shaft 65. The abutment portion 80 is provided at both ends in the axial direction, i.e., the X direction, of the rotating shaft 65.

[0041] The abutment portion 80 includes an abutment roller 81 and an arm 83. The abutment roller 81 is a driven roller that abuts against the outer peripheral surface 67a of a receiving member 67 that is wound on the rotating shaft 65 or rotates together with the rotating shaft 65 during unwinding, thereby acting as a driven roller. The arm 83 is located above the rotating shaft 65. One end of the arm 83 is located in the -Y direction relative to the vertical line CL1 that intersects the axis of the rotating shaft 65, and is supported in a rotatable manner by an arm shaft 84 extending in the X direction. The other end of the arm 83 is located in the +Y direction relative to the vertical line CL1, and is supported on the abutment roller 81 in a manner that allows rotation via the abutment roller shaft 82. That is, the abutment roller 81 abuts against the roller-shaped receiving member 67 between the vertical line CL1 (a line from the axis of the rotating shaft 65 toward the +Z direction) and the horizontal line CL2 (a line from the axis of the rotating shaft 65 toward the +Y direction) that intersects the axis of the rotating shaft 65.

[0042] The abutment roller 81 presses the roller-shaped receiving member 67, which is wound on the rotation shaft 65, against the rotation shaft 65 by pressing the arm 83 downward. As a result, the abutment roller 81 can abut against the outer peripheral surface 67a of the receiving member 67, which changes according to the rotation of the rotation shaft 65.

[0043] Furthermore, although this embodiment illustrates a structure in which the abutment portion 80 is provided at both ends of the rotating shaft 65, it is also possible for a structure to have multiple abutment portions in addition to the two ends.

[0044] The auxiliary roller 85 abuts against the outer peripheral surface 67a of the roller-shaped receiving member 67 wound on the rotating shaft 65, thereby pressing the receiving member 67 against the rotating shaft 65. The auxiliary roller 85 is a driven roller that abuts against the outer peripheral surface 67a of the receiving member 67 wound on the rotating shaft 65 or rotating during unwinding, thereby acting as a follower. The auxiliary roller 85 is located below the horizontal line CL2 intersecting the axis of the rotating shaft 65, and is supported in a rotatable manner via the auxiliary roller shaft 86. Moreover, the auxiliary roller 85 is preferably positioned at a position overlapping the vertical line CL1 intersecting the axis of the rotating shaft 65.

[0045] The auxiliary roller 85 presses the roller-shaped receiving member 67, which is wound on the rotating shaft 65, against the rotating shaft 65 by pressing the auxiliary roller shaft 86 upward. This allows the auxiliary roller 85 to abut against the outer peripheral surface 67a of the receiving member 67, following the radius of the roller-shaped receiving member 67, which changes according to the rotation of the rotating shaft 65. One or more auxiliary rollers 85 are provided along the X direction of the rotating shaft 65.

[0046] Furthermore, although this embodiment exemplifies a processing device, namely a recording device 10, which is a processing unit equipped with a recording unit 30 that performs recording in an inkjet manner, it is not limited to this. The processing device may also be a recording device other than an inkjet device, a copying device, a fax device, a multifunction printer having multiple functions of these devices, etc.

[0047] As described above, the following effects can be obtained from the processing apparatus and recording apparatus 10 according to this embodiment.

[0048] The processing apparatus includes a processing section for processing medium 22 and a media receiving section 60 for receiving medium 22 discharged from housing 12. The media receiving section 60 has a sheet-like receiving member 67, a rotating shaft 65 connected to one end of the receiving member 67, and an operating section 61 connected to the other end of the receiving member 67. When the operating section 61 is installed in housing 12, the receiving member 67 is wound onto the rotating shaft 65 and thus housed inside housing 12; when the operating section 61 is separated from housing 12, it is unwound from the rotating shaft 65 to become capable of receiving medium 22. The receiving member 67 for receiving medium 22 is housed inside housing 12 in a state of being wound onto the rotating shaft 65. Therefore, by housing the media receiving section 60 within a narrow space, a processing apparatus with a miniaturized device size can be provided.

[0049] The medium receiving portion 60 protrudes from the housing 12 in a retractable manner and has a pair of support portions 63 supporting both ends of the operating portion 61, a rack 64 mounted on the support portions 63, and a rotating shaft gear 66 mounted on the rotating shaft 65. The rack 64 moves together with the retraction of the support portions 63. The rotating shaft 65 and the rotating shaft gear 66, which rotates in conjunction with the movement of the rack 64, rotate together. As a result, the sheet-like receiving member 67 can be easily wound onto or unwound from the rotating shaft 65.

[0050] The rack 64 is provided on both sides of the pair of support portions 63. Thus, regardless of the holding position of the operating part 61 which is held to move the support portion 63 forward or backward, the receiving member 67 can be stably wound onto the rotating shaft 65 or unwound from the rotating shaft 65.

[0051] The unwinding amount of the receiving member 67 is greater than the movement amount of the support portion 63. As a result, since the receiving member 67 is slack between the operating portion 61 and the rotating shaft 65, the slack portion can be used to properly receive the medium 22.

[0052] An acceleration mechanism 70 is provided between the rack 64 and the rotating shaft gear 66 to increase the rotation speed of the rotating shaft gear 66. As a result, since the unwinding amount of the receiving member 67 is increased relative to the movement of the support portion 63, the receiving member 67 can be relaxed between the operating portion 61 and the rotating shaft 65.

[0053] The speed-increasing mechanism 70 includes a first compound gear 71 and a second compound gear 74, which are formed by stacking gears with different numbers of teeth. Thus, the speed-increasing mechanism 70 can be easily constructed.

[0054] The processing device has an abutment portion 80 that abuts against the outer peripheral surface 67a of the receiving member 67 wound on the rotating shaft 65, pressing the receiving member 67 against the rotating shaft 65. This increases the friction between the rotating shaft 65 and the receiving member 67, thereby preventing the rotating shaft 65 from spinning freely relative to the receiving member 67 when it is unwound from the drum-shaped receiving member 67. Therefore, the receiving member 67 wound on the rotating shaft 65 can be properly unwound.

[0055] The abutment portion 80 is provided at both ends in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 65. This improves the effect of preventing the rotating shaft 65 from spinning freely relative to the receiving member 67.

[0056] The abutting part 80 has an abutting roller 81 that is driven to rotate the receiving member 67. As a result, the receiving member 67 can be pressed against the rotating shaft 65 without hindering the rotation of the rotating shaft 65.

[0057] The abutment roller 81 is positioned between a straight line from the rotation shaft 65 toward the operating part 61 in a horizontal line CL2 intersecting the axis of the rotation shaft 65, and a straight line from the rotation shaft 65 toward the upward side in a vertical line CL1 intersecting the axis of the rotation shaft 65. This allows the receiving member 67 to be properly unwound toward the operating part 61.

[0058] The processing device has an auxiliary roller 85 located below the horizontal line CL2 intersecting the axis of rotation 65, which abuts against the outer peripheral surface 67a of the receiving member 67 wound on the rotation shaft 65. This prevents the receiving member 67 from unwinding and drooping downwards from the rotation shaft 65.

[0059] An opening 53 is formed on the housing 12 to unwind the receiving member 67, and at least a portion of the opening 53 is blocked when the operating part 61 is mounted on the housing 12. This improves the design of the device when the operating part 61 is mounted.

[0060] The operating section 61 has a front plate 62 that becomes part of the housing 12 when mounted on it. As a result, a larger opening 53 for unwinding the housing 67 can be formed without compromising the design of the device.

[0061] The recording device 10 includes a recording unit 30 for recording on the medium 22 as a processing unit. Thus, by housing the medium receiving unit 60 in a narrow space, it is possible to provide a recording device 10 with a miniaturized device size.
