Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to recording devices. Background Technology

[0002] Recording devices for recording images on a medium are known.

[0003] Recording devices include, for example, inkjet printers.

[0004] In the recording device described in Patent Document 1, the operation panel can swing between a retracted position and an extended position, and the discharge tray can move forward and backward between the retracted position and the extended position (see Patent Document 1). The operation panel in the retracted position and the discharge tray in the retracted position have an area that overlaps in the height direction when viewed from the side.

[0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2018-016480

[0006] However, in conventional technologies, when the discharge tray has a main discharge tray and an extension tray that can be stored in the main discharge tray, even when the main discharge tray is moved to the storage position, the extension tray may sometimes cause interference between the control panel and the extension tray due to its extension.

[0007] For example, in the configuration of the recording device described in Patent Document 1, if an extension tray is provided, when the tray is ejected and retracted to the storage position without being retracted, there is a possibility that the user may not notice that the extension tray is not retracted and may attempt to close the control panel. In this case, there is a possibility that the control panel may come into contact with the extension tray, causing damage to the device.

[0008] It should be noted that this is not limited to the automatic forward and backward movement of the discharge tray. Even when the user manually retracts the discharge tray, the same problem may occur if the control panel is closed when only the main tray is retracted and the extension tray is not retracted. Summary of the Invention

[0009] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, one approach is a recording device comprising: a recording unit for recording a medium; a discharge tray for discharging the medium recorded by the recording unit; an operation unit for operating the device; and a frame for housing the recording unit, wherein the operation unit is configured to rotate relative to a first surface of the frame to a parallel state along the first surface and an inclined state intersecting the first surface, and the discharge tray has: a mounting portion capable of displacement to a receiving position inside the frame and a use position protruding outward from the first surface of the frame; The extension portion is capable of displacement to a retracted state housed in the mounting portion and an extended state protruding relative to the mounting portion. When the mounting portion is located in the receiving position and the extension portion is in the extended state, the extension portion protrudes outward from the frame. When viewed in a direction orthogonal to the first surface, at least the extension portion in the extended state overlaps with the operating portion in the parallel state. In the operating portion, when the back side opposite to the first surface in the parallel state abuts against the front end of the extension portion, a force is applied in a first direction that displaces from the extended state to the retracted state.

Detailed Implementation

[0061] The embodiments will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0062] Reference Figures 1-6 The outline of the recording device 1 according to the embodiment will be described.

[0063] Figure 1 This is a perspective view showing an example of the recording device 1 according to the embodiment.

[0064] For ease of explanation, Figure 1 The diagram shows the XYZ orthogonal coordinate axes as three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate axes.

[0065] In this embodiment, the direction parallel to the X-axis corresponds to the width direction of the recording device 1, the direction parallel to the Y-axis corresponds to the front-back direction which is the depth direction of the recording device 1, and the direction parallel to the Z-axis corresponds to the up-down direction which is the height direction of the recording device 1.

[0066] In this embodiment, the surface of the recording device 1 on the negative side of the Y-axis will be referred to as the front surface.

[0067] In this embodiment, the recording device 1 is an inkjet printer equipped with a scanner that reads the original document placed on the mounting stage. Such a recording device 1 can also be called a multifunction printer. It should be noted that an automatic document feeder scanner that reads the original document while feeding it can also be provided, either based on or replacing the scanner described above. In addition, a printer without a scanner may also be used.

[0068] Here, the printer is not necessarily limited to inkjet printers; laser printers can also be used.

[0069] In this embodiment, the medium for printing is paper, which may also be referred to as paper or the like. It should be noted that the medium for printing is not necessarily paper; for example, an auxiliary tray may be used, or a CD-R (Compact Disc Recordable) may be used as the medium.

[0070] It should be noted that detailed specifications of the scanner are omitted.

[0071] The recording device 1 includes a frame 11 and an operation unit 21.

[0072] For ease of explanation, the front surface of the frame 11 of the recording device 1 is also referred to as the first surface A1.

[0073] In this embodiment, the operation part 21 is panel-shaped and may also be referred to as a panel part.

[0074] The operating part 21 forms a portion of the upper part of the front surface in the vertical direction.

[0075] exist Figure 1 In the example, the parallel state of the face of the operation unit 21 being parallel to the first face A1 is shown.

[0076] exist Figure 1 In the example, the paper tray 31 is located in the storage position, therefore, the paper tray 31 is not shown because it is not visible due to the frame 11.

[0077] Here, the operation unit 21 may also have the following configuration, for example: a liquid crystal portion in the central part in the width direction, and accepting operation from the user via a touch panel.

[0078] In addition, the operation unit 21 may also have the following configuration: it has physical keys or buttons, etc., to accept operations from the user.

[0079] Figure 2 This is a perspective view showing an example of the operation section 21 of the recording device 1 according to the embodiment being opened at 45 degrees.

[0080] Figure 2 It shows the relationship with Figure 1 The same XYZ orthogonal coordinate axes.

[0081] exist Figure 2 In the example, the inclined state of the face of the operation part 21 intersecting the first face A1 is shown.

[0082] Specifically, a rotation axis extending in the width direction, parallel to the first surface A1, is provided near the upper end of the operating part 21. Furthermore, the operating part 21 can rotate about this rotation axis. Figure 2 In the example, the operating part 21 is rotated 45 degrees so that the lower end of the operating part 21 protrudes forward.

[0083] exist Figure 2 In the example, the placement part 41 of the paper tray 31 is located in the storage position.

[0084] Figure 2 The opposite side of the front surface of the operating part 21, namely the back surface B1, is shown.

[0085] Operation unit 21 in such Figure 1 When in its retracted state as shown, it is perpendicular to the mounting surface of the recording device 1, forming the front surface of the recording device 1. On the other hand, during use, as... Figure 2 As shown, the operating unit 21 can be tilted at any angle to make it easy for the user to operate.

[0086] In this embodiment, the operation unit 21 is configured to stop at any angle of tilt.

[0087] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the opening and closing of the operation unit 21 can be performed manually or automatically by the recording device 1.

[0088] Figure 3 This is a perspective view showing an example of the paper tray 31 of the recording device 1 according to the embodiment being pulled out.

[0089] Figure 3 It shows the relationship with Figure 1 The same XYZ orthogonal coordinate axes.

[0090] exist Figure 3 In the example, the inclined state of the face of the operation part 21 intersecting the first face A1 is shown.

[0091] exist Figure 3 In this example, the mounting portion 41 of the paper tray 31 is in the use position. In this embodiment, when printing is not being performed, by positioning the mounting portion 41 in the receiving position and storing it inside the frame 11, the space occupied by the recording device 1 can be reduced.

[0092] In this embodiment, the operating part 21 is positioned above the paper tray 31 in the vertical direction.

[0093] The paper tray 31 has a mounting section 41 and a stop member 61.

[0094] The mounting section 41 has an inclined section 51 to prevent the medium from falling forward. The inclined section 51 is provided at the front end of the mounting section 41 of the paper discharge tray 31 and has an inclined surface with an upward angle so that the discharged paper will not fall.

[0095] The upper surface of the mounting portion 41 is the mounting surface A11. In many cases, the mounting surface A11 is formed in a large manner, for example, in order to maintain almost the entire area including the center of gravity of the paper.

[0096] The mounting section 41 may also be called a main paper tray, etc. The main paper tray is an example of a main paper tray.

[0097] The stop 61 can also be called a secondary paper tray, etc. The secondary paper tray is an example of a secondary paper tray.

[0098] exist Figure 3 In the example, the stop 61 is shown in its stowed state.

[0099] Here, the paper tray 31 makes it easy for the user to remove the paper printed by the recording section 111 of the recording device 1 when it discharges the paper.

[0100] The paper tray 31 extends forward of the recording device 1, thus forming a configuration that can be stored away when not in use. When stored, the paper tray 31 is hidden further back than the operation section 21, and when in use, it is moved to the usage position.

[0101] As a configuration for moving the paper tray 31, for example, a configuration in which the paper tray 31 is moved manually by the user can be used, or a configuration in which the paper tray 31 is moved automatically by the recording device 1 can be used. As a configuration in which the paper tray 31 is moved automatically by the recording device 1, for example, one or both of the following configurations can be used: one that automatically pulls the paper tray 31 out from the storage position to the use position, and one that automatically returns the paper tray 31 from the use position to the storage position.

[0102] Figure 4 This is a perspective view showing an example of the paper tray 31 and stop 61 of the recording device 1 according to the embodiment being pulled out.

[0103] Figure 4 It shows the relationship with Figure 1 The same XYZ orthogonal coordinate axes.

[0104] exist Figure 4 In the example, the inclined state of the face of the operation part 21 intersecting the first face A1 is shown.

[0105] exist Figure 4 In the example, the mounting portion 41 of the paper tray 31 is located in the use position.

[0106] exist Figure 4 In the example, the extended state of the stop 61 is shown.

[0107] In this embodiment, a stopper 61 provided at the front end of the mounting portion 41 of the paper tray 31 supports the paper during high-speed printing and paper feeding of lighter papers such as A4 plain paper, preventing the paper from falling off the recording device 1 and scattering. The stopper 61 is used, for example, at a predetermined angle relative to the surface of the mounting portion 41.

[0108] Figure 5This is a diagram illustrating the interference between the operating unit 21 and the stop member 61 in the recording device 1 according to the embodiment.

[0109] Figure 5 It shows the relationship with Figure 1 The same XYZ orthogonal coordinate axes.

[0110] exist Figure 5 In the example, the side of the recording device 1 is shown when observing from a viewpoint from the positive side of the X-axis toward the negative side.

[0111] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, when the mounting part 41 is pulled out or stored while the stop 61 is pulled out, there is a possibility that the stop 61 may be damaged due to interference between the operation part 21 and the operation part 21, because of the position of the operation part 21.

[0112] As a specific example, in a configuration where the user manually moves the stop 61 between a retracted state and an extended state, while the stop 61 is in an extended state and the mounting portion 41 is retracted, there is a possibility that the operating portion 21 may close from an inclined state to a parallel state.

[0113] Figure 6 This is a diagram showing an example of the general internal structure of the recording device 1 according to the embodiment.

[0114] Figure 6 It shows the relationship with Figure 1 The same XYZ orthogonal coordinate axes.

[0115] The recording device 1 includes a recording unit 111, a cartridge 121, a paper feed roller 131, a reversing roller 132, a paper delivery roller 133, a driven roller 134, a paper discharge roller 135, a driven toothed roller 136, a paper discharge tray drive pinion 141, and a drive source 161.

[0116] Here, the lower paper feed roller 133 and the upper driven roller 134 are combined.

[0117] It combines the lower paper discharge roller 135 and the upper driven toothed roller 136.

[0118] In this embodiment, the conveying roller is composed of a paper feed roller 131, a reversing roller 132, a paper feeding roller 133, a driven roller 134, a paper discharge roller 135, and a driven toothed roller 136.

[0119] The drive source 161 includes, for example, a motor.

[0120] Drive source 161 drives the conveyor roller.

[0121] Furthermore, the drive source 161 can also be used to drive components other than the conveyor rollers. For example, the drive source 161 can also drive the conveyor rollers and the paper discharge tray 31. In this case, the operation of the paper discharge tray 31 is automated in the recording device 1.

[0122] In this embodiment, the side facing which the transported medium is directed is called downstream, and the opposite side is called upstream. That is, the medium is transported from upstream to downstream.

[0123] The medium stored in the box 121 is taken out by the paper feed roller 131 and discharged to the paper discharge tray 31 on the placement surface A11 via the reverse roller 132, the paper feed roller 133 and the driven roller 134, the paper discharge roller 135 and the driven toothed roller 136.

[0124] A recording unit 111 is arranged between the positions of the paper feed roller 133 and the driven roller 134 and the positions of the paper discharge roller 135 and the driven toothed roller 136.

[0125] The recording unit 111 prints the image of the object to be printed onto the medium.

[0126] The recording unit 111 is mounted on a carriage, for example, and moves with the carriage to print within a predetermined range of the medium.

[0127] The recording department 111 can also be called the printing department or printing department, for example.

[0128] Recording unit 111 records the medium.

[0129] Paper discharge tray 31 is an example of a discharge tray that discharges media that have been recorded by the recording unit 111.

[0130] The operation unit 21 operates the device.

[0131] The frame 11 houses the recording unit 111.

[0132] The operating part 21 is configured to be able to rotate relative to the first surface A1 of the frame 11 to a parallel state along the first surface A1 and an inclined state intersecting the first surface A1.

[0133] The paper tray 31 can be moved to a receiving position inside the frame 11 and to a use position protruding outward from the first surface A1 of the frame 11.

[0134] The stop 61 of the paper tray 31 is an example of an extension that can be displaced to a stored state in the mounting portion 41 and to an extended state protruding relative to the mounting portion 41.

[0135] When the mounting part 41 is in the receiving position and the stop member 61 is in the extended state, the stop member 61 protrudes outward from the frame 11.

[0136] Furthermore, when viewed in the Y direction, which is orthogonal to the first surface A1, the stop 61 in its extended state overlaps with the operating part 21 in its parallel state.

[0137] It should be noted that because the stop member 61 interferes with the operating part 21, the scenario where "the operating part 21 is in a parallel state, the mounting part 41 is in the receiving position, and the stop member 61 is in an extended state" does not actually occur. However, this scenario is explained here to illustrate the configuration relationship between the stop member 61 and the operating part 21. That is, when the mounting part 41 is in the receiving position and the stop member 61 is in an extended state, it is impossible to make the operating part 21 parallel; however, this is an explanation of a virtual configuration relationship between the stop member 61 and the operating part 21. Furthermore, in this embodiment, where the operating part 21 is in a parallel state, the mounting part 41 is in the receiving position, and the stop member 61 is in a retracted state, the scenario where "the operating part 21 is in a parallel state, the mounting part 41 is in the receiving position, and the stop member 61 is in an extended state" also does not actually occur.

[0138] The recording device 1 includes a drive source 161 that moves the mounting section 41 to the receiving position and the usage position.

[0139] It should be noted that other configurations can also be used for this purpose.

[0140] The mounting portion 41 has an inclined portion 51 that is inclined to support the medium in such a way that the downstream direction of the discharge direction is upward. The stop member 61 is stored in the inclined portion 51 in the retracted state.

[0141] It should be noted that other configurations can also be used for this purpose.

[0142] The mounting surface A11 of the medium in the mounting part 41 intersects with the support surface A12 of the medium in the stop member 61.

[0143] It should be noted that other configurations can also be used for this purpose.

[0144] In the following embodiments, examples are shown in Figures 1-6 The recording device 1 shown is a recording device with the characteristic configurations involved in each embodiment, and will be described in this way.

[0145] Therefore, in the following embodiments, regarding and Figures 1-6 The same components of the recording device 1 shown are described using the same reference numerals.

[0146] Furthermore, in the following embodiments, the illustrations of reference numerals may be omitted for parts that are not referred to in the description of the characteristic configurations involved in each embodiment.

[0147] Furthermore, in the following embodiments, for ease of explanation, numbers such as "first" or "second" may be used to distinguish components with the same name. It should be noted that the names of each component are merely for ease of explanation, and other names may also be used.

[0148] The first embodiment will be described.

[0149] Reference Figure 7 The first recording device 201 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0150] Figure 7 This is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the first stop 261 of the first recording device 201 according to the first embodiment.

[0151] Figure 7 It shows the relationship with Figure 1 The same XYZ orthogonal coordinate axes.

[0152] exist Figure 7 In this example, only the portion in front of the first paper tray 231 in the first recording device 201 is shown. In this embodiment, regarding the other portions of the first recording device 201, and... Figures 1-6 The examples are the same, so detailed explanations are omitted.

[0153] The first stop 261 has a plate-like shape that is parallel to the inclined surface of the portion of the first inclined portion 251 in the first mounting portion 241 where the first stop 261 is provided.

[0154] Figure 7 The position of the first rotating shaft C1 of the first stop 261 is shown.

[0155] When viewed along a vertical line of sight, the first stop 261 has a rectangular shape, configured such that the first rotation axis C1 can be rotated relative to the first mounting portion 241 near one end of the rectangle. Thus, the first stop 261 can be switched between a retracted state and an extended state by rotation.

[0156] Figure 7 The first rotation direction D1, which is the rotation direction of the first stop 261, is shown.

[0157] The first stop 261 has a first handle portion W1 located near the front end.

[0158] The first handle, W1, can be held by the user's fingers.

[0159] It should be noted that the first handle part W1 may have a concave shape, but it may also have other shapes.

[0160] In this embodiment, when the first stop 261 is pulled out to its maximum extent, the long side direction of the first stop 261 intersects the direction perpendicular to the first surface A1. That is, the long side direction intersects the first surface A1 at an angle of less than 90 degrees.

[0161] Thus, when the first stop 261 is in the extended state, the long side of the first stop 261 has a predetermined angle greater than 0 relative to the discharge direction.

[0162] In the operating unit 21, when the back side B1 opposite to the first surface A1 abuts against the first front end E1 of the first stop 261 in the parallel state, a force F1 is applied to the first stop 261 in the first direction of displacement from the extended state to the retracted state.

[0163] With this force, even if the user does not manually put the first stop 261 into the storage state, when the first mounting part 241 is in the receiving position, if the operating part 21 changes from the tilted state to the parallel state, the first stop 261 will automatically move from the extended state to the storage state.

[0164] Therefore, when the back side B1 of the operating part 21 abuts against the first front end E1 of the first stop 261, by applying a force F1 in the first direction that moves the first stop 261 from the extended state to the retracted state, the first stop 261 can be moved in the retracted direction by the force that closes the operating part 21, thereby suppressing damage.

[0165] Here, in this embodiment, for example, the shape of one or both of the back surface B1 of the operating part 21 and the first front end E1 of the first stop 261 is configured such that when the back surface B1 of the operating part 21 abuts against the first front end E1 of the first stop 261, a force F1 is applied to the first stop 261 to displace from the extended state to the retracted state.

[0166] Furthermore, when the back side B1 of the operating part 21 abuts against the first front end E1 of the first stop 261, the force F1 of the first stop 261 displaces from the extended state to the retracted state represents, for example, the force in the displacement direction that disrupts the equilibrium state of the first stop 261 when it is in the extended state. However, as another example, it may also be a force that includes the force in the displacement direction as a component force.

[0167] In this configuration, the first stop 261 has a predetermined angle relative to the discharge direction, so that when the operation part 21 is closed and the operation part 21 interferes with the first stop 261, the force when the operation part 21 descends is divided into a force in the first rotation direction D1, thereby enabling the first stop 261 to be accommodated.

[0168] At least one of the surface of the back side B1 of the operating part 21 that abuts against the first front end E1 and the surface of the first front end E1 that abuts against the back side B1 intersects with the first direction F1.

[0169] Therefore, by changing the shape of at least one of the abutment surface of the back side B1 of the operating part 21 and the abutment surface of the first front end E1 of the first stop 261, the first stop 261 can be easily moved in the storage direction by using the force of closing the operating part 21.

[0170] The first stop 261 can rotate around the first rotating axis C1, and move to the storage state and the extended state.

[0171] Therefore, the first stop 261, which is rotated and stored, can be displaced in the storage direction by the force of closing the operating part 21. By configuring it to rotate and store the first stop 261, the storage area can be reduced in the transport direction. Therefore, the design flexibility can be increased, such as by designing the front end of the first mounting part 241 to be tilted upward.

[0172] In its extended state, the first stop 261 protrudes in a direction intersecting the discharge direction of the medium.

[0173] Therefore, since the first stop 261 receives the medium in an inclined state, it can support a large range in the width direction. By arranging the first stop 261 at an inclined position, the angle of the first stop 261 abuts against the back of the operating part 21, thus a force can be applied in the first direction F1.

[0174] The first recording device 201 includes a force-applying part that applies force to the first stop member 261 toward the extended state.

[0175] exist Figure 7 In the example, the first force-applying direction G1 of the force-applying part is shown. This force-applying part is constructed, for example, using a torsion spring.

[0176] Therefore, since the first stop 261 is forced toward the extended state, it becomes the extended state without being put into the retracted state by the operation part 21, so that the user does not need to extend it.

[0177] It should be noted that other configurations can also be used for this purpose.

[0178] For example, the first mounting portion 241 has a first inclined portion 251 that is inclined and supported in a manner that is downstream and upward in the discharge direction of the medium.

[0179] The first stop 261 is stored in the first inclined part 251 in the stored state.

[0180] Therefore, by having the first inclined portion 251, it is possible to suppress the ejection of the discharged medium. Moreover, by housing the first stop member 261 in the first inclined portion 251, the device can be miniaturized.

[0181] It should be noted that other configurations can also be used for this purpose.

[0182] Here, the first inclined portion 251 is located above, for example, as it changes from upstream to downstream, that is, as it changes from upstream to downstream, it is located in an orientation opposite to gravity.

[0183] For example, the first mounting surface A21 of the medium in the first mounting section 241 intersects with the first supporting surface A22 of the medium in the first stop member 261.

[0184] Therefore, the first stop 261 is inclined relative to the first mounting surface A21, thus preventing the medium from flying out.

[0185] It should be noted that other configurations can also be used for this purpose.

[0186] For example, the first recording device 201 may also include a displacement drive source 161 that moves the first mounting portion 241 to a receiving position and a use position.

[0187] Therefore, usability is improved by automatically moving the first row of paper trays 231. For example, when the first row of paper trays 231 is automatically stored while the first stop 261 is in the extended state, the user is less likely to notice that the first stop 261 is in the extended state and close the operation section 21. However, even in such a case, breakage can be suppressed.

[0188] It should be noted that other configurations can also be used for this purpose.

[0189] Here, the drive source of the first mounting unit 241 is not necessarily the same as the drive source 161 of the conveying roller, and the first recording device 201 may also have other drive sources.

[0190] As described above, in the first recording device 201 according to this embodiment, when the first stop 261 provided on the first paper tray 231 is not stored but the first mounting part 241 is accommodated, the device can be prevented from being damaged when the operation part 21 is closed.

[0191] In the first recording device 201 according to this embodiment, the first stop member 261 that was not stored is stored by the force of the operation unit 21 closing.

[0192] Thus, in the first recording device 201 according to this embodiment, the first stop 261 is configured to be housed in conjunction with the closing action of the operation unit 21. The first stop 261 is located at the front end of the first paper tray 231 and prevents paper from falling. In this embodiment, in the extended state of use, the first stop 261 has a predetermined angle relative to the discharge direction of the medium.

[0193] In this embodiment, for example, it is possible to prevent the first stop 261 from being damaged due to the user forgetting to retract it, causing interference between the first stop 261 and the closing operation unit 21. Furthermore, in this embodiment, for example, it is possible to move the first stop 261 to the retracted position using a simple mechanism without requiring power for retracting the first stop 261.

[0194] Reference Figure 8 The first recording device 201a according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0195] Figure 8 This is a diagram showing another example of the configuration of the first stop 261a of the first recording device 201a according to the first embodiment.

[0196] Figure 8 It shows the relationship with Figure 1 The same XYZ orthogonal coordinate axes.

[0197] exist Figure 8 In this example, only the portion in front of the first paper tray 231a in the first recording device 201a is shown. In this embodiment, regarding the other portions of the first recording device 201a, and... Figures 1-6 The examples are the same, so detailed explanations are omitted.

[0198] Recording device 201a is 1a Figure 7 A modified example of the first recording device 201 shown.

[0199] Regarding the first recording device 201a, and... Figure 7 The different points of the first recording device 201 shown will be explained.

[0200] The first front end E1a of the first stop 261a is located in the center of the area where the medium is discharged, on the first width direction H1 that intersects with the discharge direction of the medium.

[0201] Therefore, since the first front end E1a of the first stop 261a is located at the center of the first width direction H1 of the medium, the first stop 261a can reliably support the medium.

[0202] Here, in Figure 8 In the example, when the first stop 261a is in the extended state with the first stop 241a pulled out to the maximum extent, the first front end E1a of the first stop 261a is located at the center of the area where the medium is discharged in the first width direction H1 that intersects the discharge direction of the medium.

[0203] In this way, the first front end E1a of the first stop 261a, which has a predetermined angle relative to the discharge direction, is aligned with the center or near the first width direction H1. For example, when discharging large-sized paper, the first stop 261a can hold the paper at or near the center of the paper in the width direction.

[0204] It needs to be explained that, Figure 8 The position of the first rotating shaft C1a of the first stop 261a is also shown.

[0205] exist Figure 7 In the first stop 261, the first rotating shaft C1 is located in the center of the area where the discharge medium is located in the first width direction H1. However, in Figure 8 In the first stop 261a, the first rotating shaft C1a is located in the first width direction H1, at the center of the area that is offset from the discharged medium.

[0206] As described above, in the first recording device 201a according to this embodiment, when the first stop 261a provided on the first paper tray 231a is not stored but the first mounting part 241a is accommodated, the device can be prevented from being damaged when the operation part 21 is closed.

[0207] In the first recording device 201a according to this embodiment, in this case, the first stop 261a that was not stored is stored by the force of the operation unit 21 closing.

[0208] The second embodiment will be described.

[0209] Reference Figure 9 The second recording device 301 according to the second embodiment will be described.

[0210] Figure 9 This is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the second stop 361 of the second recording device 301 according to the second embodiment.

[0211] Figure 9 It shows the relationship with Figure 1 The same XYZ orthogonal coordinate axes.

[0212] exist Figure 9 In this example, only the front portion of the second paper tray 331 in the second recording device 301 is shown. In this embodiment, the other portions of the second recording device 301 are... Figures 1-6 The examples are the same, so detailed explanations are omitted.

[0213] Regarding the second recording device 301, and Figure 7 The different points of the first recording device 201 shown will be explained.

[0214] The configuration of this embodiment can also be applied to the first embodiment or the firsta embodiment, respectively.

[0215] In its extended state, the second stop 361 protrudes in the same direction as the discharge direction of the medium.

[0216] In the second stop 361, the surface that abuts against the back side B1 of the second front end E2, i.e., the abutting surface 371, intersects with the second direction F2.

[0217] Here, the second direction F2 is the direction in which the second stop 361 moves from the extended state to the retracted state when the back side B1 of the operating part 21 abuts against the second front end E2 of the second stop 361.

[0218] In addition, Figure 9 In the example, the abutting surface 371 of the second front end E2 of the second stop 361 is located on the negative side of the X-axis. However, as another example, it may also be located on the positive side of the X-axis. In this case, the rotation direction of the second stop 361 when it is displaced from the extended state to the retracted state is opposite.

[0219] Thus, the second stop 361, as the shape of the second front end E2, has a slope shape with a predetermined angle or a curvature shape. Therefore, the second stop 361 can change the force in which the operating part 21 closes into a force in a second direction F2. The second direction F2 is, for example, a direction parallel to the width direction, and is the direction that displaces the second stop 361 from its extended state to its retracted state.

[0220] exist Figure 9 In the example, when the second stop 361 is in the extended state, the long side of the second stop 361 is parallel to the discharge direction.

[0221] It needs to be explained that, Figure 9 The second rotating shaft C2 of the second mounting part 341 and the second stop member 361 is also shown.

[0222] As described above, in the second recording device 301 according to this embodiment, when the second stop 361 provided on the second paper tray 331 is not stored but the second mounting part 341 is accommodated, the device can be prevented from being damaged when the operation part 21 is closed.

[0223] In the second recording device 301 according to this embodiment, in this case, the second stop 361 that was not stored is stored by the force of the operation unit 21 closing.

[0224] Thus, in the second recording device 301 according to this embodiment, the second stop 361 is configured to be housed in conjunction with the closing action of the operation unit 21. The second stop 361 is located at the front end of the second paper tray 331 and prevents paper from falling. In this embodiment, in the extended state of use, the front end shape of the second stop 361 has a predetermined angle relative to the discharge direction of the medium.

[0225] The third embodiment will be described.

[0226] Reference Figures 10-12 The third recording device 401 according to the third embodiment will be described.

[0227] Figure 10 This is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the third operation unit 421 of the third recording device 401 according to the third embodiment.

[0228] Figure 11 This is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the third operation section 421 and the third stop member 461 of the third recording device 401 according to the third embodiment.

[0229] Figure 12 This is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the third operation unit 421 and the third stop member 461 of the third recording device 401 according to the third embodiment.

[0230] Figures 10-12 Show respectively with Figure 1 The same XYZ orthogonal coordinate axes.

[0231] exist Figures 10-12 In this example, only the front portion of the third paper tray 431 and the third operation section 421 in the third recording device 401 are shown. In this embodiment, regarding the other parts of the third recording device 401, and... Figures 1-6 The examples are the same, so detailed explanations are omitted.

[0232] Regarding the third recording device 401, and Figure 7 The first recording device 201 shown Figure 8The first recording device 201a shown, or Figure 9 The different points of the second recording device 301 shown will be explained.

[0233] The contact portion 471, which abuts against the third front end E3 of the third back side B13 of the third operating portion 421, protrudes obliquely.

[0234] Therefore, by simply providing an abutment portion 471 that is inclined relative to the third back surface B13 of the third operating portion 421, it is possible to easily achieve displacement of the third stop member 461 in the storage direction by the force of closing the third operating portion 421.

[0235] Figure 12 The diagram shows the positional relationship between the third operating part 421 and the third stop 461 when the third placement part 441 of the third row of paper trays 431 is in the receiving position and the third stop 461 is in the extended state.

[0236] exist Figure 12 In the state shown, when the third operating part 421 is moved from the inclined state to the parallel state, the third stop member 461 can be moved in the storage direction by the collision between the abutting part 471 of the third back side B13 of the third operating part 421 and the third front end E3 of the third stop member 461.

[0237] Thus, on the third back side B13 of the third operating part 421, at a position that interferes with the third stop 461, there is an abutment part 471, which has an inclined surface that changes the force of closing the third operating part 421 into the force of retracting the third stop 461.

[0238] exist Figure 11 In the example, there is an abutment portion 471, in which the negative side of the X-axis protrudes higher, and the protrusion decreases as it approaches the positive side of the X-axis. Through the inclined surface of the abutment portion 471, when the third operation portion 421 is closed, the third stop member 461 can be rotated in a direction with a greater angle relative to the discharge direction.

[0239] As described above, in the third recording device 401 according to this embodiment, when the third stop 461 provided on the third paper tray 431 is not stored but the third mounting part 441 is accommodated, the device can be prevented from being damaged when the third operation part 421 is closed.

[0240] In the third recording device 401 according to this embodiment, in this case, the third stop 461 that was not stored is stored by the force of closing the third operation unit 421.

[0241] Thus, in the third recording device 401 according to this embodiment, the third stop 461 is configured to be housed in conjunction with the closing action of the third operation unit 421. The third stop 461 is located at the front end of the third paper tray 431 and prevents paper from falling. In this embodiment, an inclined surface is provided on the back of the third operation unit 421 at a position that interferes with the third stop 461, which converts the force of closing the third operation unit 421 into the force of housing the third stop 461.

[0242] The fourth embodiment will be described.

[0243] Reference Figures 13-16 The fourth recording device 501 according to the fourth embodiment will be described.

[0244] Figure 13 This is an external perspective view showing an example of the state in which the fourth stop 561 of the fourth recording device 501 according to the fourth embodiment is housed.

[0245] Figure 14 This is a cross-sectional view showing an example of the state in which the fourth stop 561 of the fourth recording device 501 according to the fourth embodiment is housed.

[0246] Figure 15 This is an external perspective view showing an example of the state in which the fourth stop 561 of the fourth recording device 501 according to the fourth embodiment is pulled out.

[0247] Figure 16 This is a side view showing an example of the state in which the fourth stop 561 of the fourth recording device 501 according to the fourth embodiment is pulled out.

[0248] Figures 13-16 They respectively showed the same as Figure 1 The same XYZ orthogonal coordinate axes.

[0249] exist Figures 13-16 In this example, only the front portion of the fourth paper tray 531 in the fourth recording device 501 is shown. In this embodiment, regarding the other portions of the fourth recording device 501, and... Figures 1-6 The examples are the same, so detailed explanations are omitted.

[0250] The fourth stop 561 in this embodiment differs from that in the first embodiment, the first a, the second embodiment, or the third embodiment in that it does not use a rotating mechanism, but instead uses a mechanism that can move in the extension direction.

[0251] Figure 13The diagram shows the positional relationship between the fourth mounting portion 541, the fourth stop 561, and the guide portion 65 when the fourth stop 561 is in the retracted state.

[0252] exist Figure 14 In this context, an example is shown of a cross-section near the center of the fourth mounting portion 541 in the width direction, viewed from a viewpoint from the positive to the negative side of the X-axis. This cross-section is a plane parallel to the YZ plane.

[0253] like Figure 14 As shown, the fourth stop 561 is housed between the fourth mounting portion 541 and the guide portion 65.

[0254] Figure 15 The positional relationship of the fourth mounting portion 541, the fourth stop 561, and the guide portion 65 is shown when the fourth stop 561 is in the extended state.

[0255] exist Figure 16 In this context, an example is shown of the fourth mounting portion 541, the fourth stop member 561, and the guide portion 65 viewed from a viewpoint from the positive side to the negative side of the X-axis.

[0256] Here, the shape of the extension direction of the fourth stop 561 corresponds to the shape of the cavity between the fourth mounting surface of the fourth mounting portion 541 and the guide portion 65, which is the portion that houses the fourth stop 561. In this embodiment, it is an arc-shaped shape corresponding to the cavity between the fourth mounting surface of the fourth mounting portion 541 and the lower surface of the guide portion 65. That is, the fourth stop 561 has a shape that can be housed in the cavity, or for example, it may have a shape similar to the shape of the cavity.

[0257] The fourth stop 561 can move in parallel.

[0258] Therefore, the fourth stop 561, which is stored along the moving direction of the fourth row of paper trays 531, can be easily moved in the storage direction by the force of closing the operation part 21.

[0259] In this embodiment, a shape close to an arc is used as the shape of the extension direction of the fourth stop 561. However, other shapes may also be used, for example, a shape corresponding to the shape of the cavity between the fourth mounting portion 541 and the guide portion 65 that houses the fourth stop 561.

[0260] It should be noted that the shape of the extension direction of the fourth stop 561 does not necessarily have to be a curved shape. For example, it can also be a straight shape or a shape formed by combining two or more straight lines.

[0261] In this embodiment, the fourth stop 561 has an arc shape in the extension direction, and can be housed in the thickness portion between the upper surface of the fourth placement portion 541 of the fourth paper tray 531 and the lower surface of the guide portion 65.

[0262] For example, the fourth stop 561 can also be held in the extended state position by a predetermined semi-fixing method after being pulled out into the extended state. In addition, when the operating part 21 is closed, the semi-fixing based on this semi-fixing method is released, and the fourth stop 561 is stored along the arc, thereby preventing damage to the fourth stop 561.

[0263] It should be noted that this semi-fixed method is not particularly limited and various methods can be used.

[0264] Here, the fourth recording device 501 has a force-applying part that applies force to the fourth stop 561 in an extended state.

[0265] In this case, the fourth stop 561 is forced toward the extended state. Therefore, when it is not in the retracted state due to the operating part 21, etc., it is in the extended state, so the user does not need to extend it. This force-applying part can also be constructed using a spring, for example.

[0266] It should be noted that other configurations can also be used for this purpose.

[0267] As described above, in the fourth recording device 501 according to this embodiment, when the fourth stop 561 provided on the fourth paper tray 531 is not stored but the fourth mounting part 541 is accommodated, the device can be prevented from being damaged when the operation part 21 is closed.

[0268] In the fourth recording device 501 according to this embodiment, in this case, the fourth stop 561 that was not stored is stored by the force of closing the operation unit 21.

[0285] The locking force-applying spring is a spring that applies force to the fifth retaining part 671 in the locking force-applying direction 673, which is the upward direction.

[0286] The fifth holding unit 671 moves up and down according to the position of the switching unit 672.

[0287] When the fifth retaining part 671 is positioned above by locking the force-applying spring according to the position of the switching part 672, it restricts the rotation of the fifth stop 661.

[0288] The fifth holding part 671 may also be called a locking part, for example. Furthermore, the switching part 672 may also be called a locking shaft, for example.

[0289] A force is applied to the fifth stop 661 in the direction of rotational displacement from the extended state to the retracted state by a force-applying part (not shown in the diagram). This force-applying part may, for example, be a torsion spring.

[0290] On the surface below the fifth stop 661, a rotation prevention wall 681 is provided at a predetermined location as a wall to prevent rotation.

[0291] like Figure 17 , Figure 20 , Figure 21 , Figure 22 , Figure 26 As shown, when the fifth mounting portion 641 is in the use position and the fifth stop 661 is in the extended state, the switching portion 672 does not contact the fifth holding portion 671, and the fifth holding portion 671 is forced in the locking force direction 673 by the locking force spring. Furthermore, the fifth holding portion 671 is located near the rotation prevention wall 681 from below the fifth stop 661. By colliding the fifth stop 661, which is about to be displaced to the storage state, with the rotation prevention wall 681, locking the extended state of the fifth stop 661 is achieved.

[0292] On the other hand, when the fifth stop 661 is in the extended state, if the fifth mounting portion 641 is displaced from the use position to the receiving position, then as Figure 18 , Figure 23 , Figure 24 , Figure 27 As shown, the fifth holding part 671 is moved downward by the contact between the switching part 672 and the fifth holding part 671. In addition, the fifth holding part 671 is rotated relative to the fifth stop 661 to prevent the wall 681 from moving downward, thereby releasing the lock and displacing the fifth stop 661 into the storage state.

[0293] like Figure 24 and Figure 25 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the switching unit 672 has a rod-shaped shape and can move in a direction parallel to the X-axis.

[0294] Furthermore, the fifth retaining portion 671 has an inclined recess 691, which has an inclined surface inside the recess that slopes upward from below. In this embodiment, the inclined recess 691 extends through.

[0295] In this embodiment, regarding the switching unit 672, the force-applying unit (not shown in the figure) applies force to the switching unit 672 in an orientation opposite to that of the fifth holding unit 671. The direction of the force applied by this force-applying unit is from the positive side of the X-axis to the negative side. This force-applying unit is, for example, constructed using a spring.

[0296] like Figure 26 As shown, when the front end of the switching part 672 is not inserted into the inclined recess 691 of the fifth holding part 671, the fifth holding part 671 is subjected to upward force.

[0297] In other words, when the fifth stop 661 is used, the switching part 672 is forced to the side opposite to the fifth holding part 671 and separates from the fifth holding part 671. Therefore, by the force of the locking force direction 673 of the locking force spring, the fifth holding part 671 protrudes upward. In addition, the rotation of the fifth holding part 671 and the fifth stop 661 prevents interference with the wall 681, thereby resisting the force applied to the fifth stop 661 in the storage direction and maintaining the use position of the fifth stop 661.

[0298] In addition, such as Figure 27 As shown, when the front end of the switching part 672 is inserted into the inclined recess 691 of the fifth holding part 671, the fifth holding part 671 moves downward. As a result, the locking of the fifth stop 661 is released, and the fifth stop 661 moves to the storage state.

[0299] Thus, as the fifth mounting part 641 is accommodated, the switching part 672 moves toward the fifth holding part 671 and presses the fifth holding part 671 downward, the interference between the fifth holding part 671 and the rotation prevention wall 681 is released, and the fifth stop member 661 is displaced to the storage state.

[0300] In this embodiment, the fifth holding part 671 is shown to be positioned on the positive side of the X-axis relative to the switching part 672, which is parallel to the X-axis. However, as another example, the fifth holding part 671 may also be positioned on the negative side of the X-axis relative to the switching part 672.

[0301] like Figure 19As shown, in this embodiment, the configuration is as follows: when the fifth mounting portion 641 is displaced from the use position to the receiving position, the switching portion 672 collides with the predetermined portion of the fifth recording device 601, causing the switching portion 672 to move toward the fifth holding portion 671. On the other hand, when the fifth mounting portion 641 is displaced from the receiving position to the use position, the switching portion 672 is released and moves in the direction of separation from the fifth holding portion 671. Thus, the locking of the fifth stop member 661 is released by the action of receiving the fifth mounting portion 641, thereby allowing the fifth stop member 661 to rotate and be stored.

[0302] exist Figure 19 In this example, the fifth mounting portion 641 moves between a receiving position and a use position along the first guide surface V11 of the guide portion V1, which is a predetermined part of the fifth recording device 601. Furthermore, when the fifth mounting portion 641 is in the use position, a portion of the switching portion 672 can protrude from the fifth mounting portion 641 toward the negative side of the X-axis; on the other hand, as the fifth mounting portion 641 moves toward the receiving position, this portion of the switching portion 672 gradually moves toward the positive side of the X-axis.

[0303] Specifically, the guide portion V1 has a first guide surface V11 extending in a direction parallel to the Y-axis, and a second guide surface V12 continuously disposed in front of the first guide surface V11. The second guide surface V12 is a surface inclined relative to the first guide surface V11. Figure 19 In the example, it is a surface that tilts relative to the negative side of the X-axis as it moves from back to front.

[0304] Furthermore, during the displacement of the fifth mounting portion 641 from the use position to the receiving position, firstly, the end of the switching portion 672 protruding from the fifth mounting portion 641 contacts the second guide surface V12 and moves along the second guide surface V12. Then, this end reaches the first guide surface V11 and abuts against the first guide surface V11. During this process, the switching portion 672 is pushed into the positive side of the X-axis via the guide portion V1.

[0305] When viewed in a direction orthogonal to the first surface A1, the fifth stop 661 in its extended state overlaps with the operating part 21 in its parallel state.

[0306] It should be noted that when the fifth mounting part 641 is in the receiving position and the fifth stop 661 is in the stored state, there will be no situation where the fifth mounting part 641 is in the receiving position and the fifth stop 661 is in the extended state. However, this situation will be explained here in order to explain the interference between the fifth stop 661 and the operation part 21.

[0307] Furthermore, as part of the configuration, when the fifth mounting portion 641 is in the receiving position and the fifth stop 661 is in the extended state, the fifth stop 661 protrudes outward from the frame 11.

[0308] When the fifth mounting part 641 is displaced from the use position to the receiving position, the fifth stop member 661 is in the storage state.

[0309] Therefore, when the fifth mounting portion 641 is accommodated, the fifth stop 661 is in a retracted state, so the fifth stop 661 is not forgotten to be accommodated, and damage can be suppressed more reliably.

[0310] In this way, the fifth mounting part 641 and the fifth stop member 661 are linked together.

[0311] The fifth recording device 601 includes: a force-applying unit that applies force to the fifth stop 661 toward a retracted state; a fifth holding unit 671 that holds the fifth stop 661 in an extended state; and a switching unit 672 that can switch the fifth holding unit 671 between a holding state that holds the fifth stop 661 and a released state that releases the holding of the fifth stop 661.

[0312] When the fifth mounting part 641 is displaced from the use position to the receiving position, the switching part 672 causes the fifth holding part 671 to be released.

[0313] Therefore, when the lock is released by applying force to the fifth stop 661 toward the retracted state, the fifth stop 661 is retracted. When the fifth mounting portion 641 is accommodated, the lock is released, thus the fifth stop 661 can be retracted with a simple configuration. Furthermore, due to the presence of the lock (locking portion?), there is a click-sensitive feel when the user extends the fifth stop 661, thus improving usability.

[0314] It should be noted that other configurations can also be used for this purpose.

[0315] In this embodiment, a locking mechanism is provided in the recess on the back side of the fifth stop 661, so, for example, miniaturization of the product in the height direction can be achieved.

[0316] When the fifth mounting part 641 is in the use position, and the fifth stop 661 is in the extended state, the fifth holding part 671 holds the fifth stop 661.

[0317] Therefore, when the user extends the fifth stop 661 to the extended state, the fifth retaining part 671 locks the fifth stop 661 in the extended state. When not needed, it is stored in the retracted state by the force application part. Thus, it is possible to prevent the fifth stop 661 from becoming an obstacle when not in use.

[0318] Here, when the fifth mounting part 641 is in the use position, the fifth stop 661 is not necessarily in the extended state, but may also be in the storage position.

[0319] For example, the fifth mounting portion 641 has an inclined portion 51 that is inclined and supported in a manner that is downstream and upward in the discharge direction of the medium.

[0320] In the stowed state, the fifth stop 661 is stowed in the inclined part 51.

[0321] Therefore, the presence of the inclined portion 51 can suppress the ejection of the discharged medium. Furthermore, by housing the fifth stop 661 within the inclined portion 51, the device can be miniaturized.

[0322] It should be noted that other configurations can also be used for this purpose.

[0323] For example, the mounting surface A11 of the medium in the fifth mounting section 641 intersects with the support surface A12 of the medium in the fifth stop member 661.

[0324] Therefore, since the fifth stop 661 is inclined relative to the mounting surface A11, it is possible to suppress the ejection of the medium.

[0325] It should be noted that other configurations can also be used for this purpose.

[0326] For example, the fifth recording device 601 includes a drive source 161 that moves the fifth mounting portion 641 to a receiving position and displaces the position.

[0327] Therefore, usability is improved by automatically moving the fifth row paper tray 631. It should be noted that when the fifth row paper tray 631 is automatically retracted while the fifth stop 661 is in the extended state, the possibility that the user will not notice that the fifth stop 661 is in the extended state and close the operation section 21 is higher. However, even in such a case, breakage can be suppressed.

[0328] It should be noted that other configurations can also be used for this purpose.

[0329] Here, the drive source of the fifth mounting unit 641 is not necessarily the same as the drive source 161 of the conveyor roller, or the fifth recording device 601 may have other drive sources.

[0330] As described above, in the fifth recording device 601 according to this embodiment, when the fifth stop 661 provided on the fifth paper tray 631 is not stored but the fifth mounting part 641 is accommodated, the device can be prevented from being damaged when the operation part 21 is closed.

[0331] In the sixth recording device 701 according to this embodiment, the fifth stop 661 is housed by means of a housing linkage with the fifth mounting portion 641, which can prevent the fifth stop 661 from being housed and only the fifth mounting portion 641 is housed.

[0332] The sixth embodiment will be described.

[0333] Reference Figures 28-31 The sixth recording device 701 according to the sixth embodiment will be described.

[0334] Figure 28 This is a perspective view showing an example of the configuration of the sixth stop 761 of the sixth recording device 701 according to the sixth embodiment.

[0335] Figure 29 This is a side view showing an example of the configuration of the sixth stop 761 of the sixth recording device 701 according to the sixth embodiment.

[0336] Figure 30 This is a side view showing an example of the configuration of the sixth stop 761 of the sixth recording device 701 according to the sixth embodiment.

[0337] Figure 31 This is a side view showing an example of the configuration of the sixth stop 761 of the sixth recording device 701 according to the sixth embodiment.

[0338] Figures 28-31 Show respectively with Figure 1 The same XYZ orthogonal coordinate axes.

[0339] exist Figures 28-31 In this example, only the front portion of the sixth paper tray 731 in the sixth recording device 701 is shown. In this embodiment, regarding the other portions of the sixth recording device 701, and... Figures 1-6 The examples are the same, so detailed explanations are omitted.

[0340] The configurations involved in this embodiment can be applied to the first embodiment, the first a embodiment, the second embodiment to the fifth embodiment, respectively, or can be implemented independently of these embodiments.

[0341] The sixth stop 761 has: a first extension 771 that is displaced relative to the sixth mounting portion 741; and a second extension 772 that rotates relative to the first extension 771 about the sixth rotation axis C6.

[0342] The sixth rotation axis C6 extends parallel to the first surface A1.

[0343] Therefore, when the back side B7 of the sixth operating part 721 abuts against the sixth front end E6 of the sixth stop 761, the second extension 772 can rotate around the sixth rotation axis C6 parallel to the first surface A1, thus suppressing the damage to the sixth stop 761.

[0344] In this embodiment, the sixth stop 761 is configured such that, in its extension direction, it is divided into a first extension 771 and a second extension 772, and the second extension 772 on the side where the sixth front end E6 is located can be bent by rotation. In this embodiment, the sixth rotation shaft C6 is a reversible shaft (reversible axle) that extends in the horizontal direction perpendicular to the discharge direction. It should be noted that the sixth rotation shaft C6 can extend either along the direction of the first surface A1 or in a direction intersecting the horizontal direction.

[0345] Thus, in this embodiment, the sixth stop 761 is constructed using a first extension 771 and a second extension 772 as two components. In use, for example, by omitting the protrusions shown in the figure, the first extension 771 and the second extension 772 extend in a straight line and become one piece.

[0346] like Figure 29 Examples Figure 30 Examples Figure 31 For example, when the 6th operating part 721 is closed, it contacts the 6th stop 761. Then, when the user is about to close the 6th operating part 721 and applies force above a predetermined load, the protrusions shown in the figure disengage, and the 2nd extension 772, which bends at the front end with the 6th rotating shaft C6 as the central axis, resists the user's force.

[0347] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the second extension 772 is shown to be able to bend downwards. However, as another example, the second extension 772 may also be configured to be able to bend upwards.

[0348] When viewed in a direction orthogonal to the first surface A1, at least a portion of the second extension 772, which has rotated around the sixth rotation axis C6, does not overlap with the parallel operating part 21.

[0349] Therefore, the second extension 772, which bends around the sixth rotation axis C6, does not overlap with the sixth operating part 721, and can be visually confirmed. Thus, the user can notice if the sixth stop 761 is forgotten to be stored.

[0350] It should be noted that other configurations can also be used for this purpose.

[0351] In this embodiment, the user can be made aware that the sixth stop 761 has been forgotten to be stored without damaging the sixth stop 761, thus prompting the user to store the sixth stop 761.

[0352] As described above, in the sixth recording device 701 according to this embodiment, when the operation part 21 is closed, the device can be prevented from being damaged when the sixth stop 761 provided on the sixth paper tray 731 is not stored and the sixth mounting part 741 is stored.

[0353] In the sixth recording device 701 according to this embodiment, under such circumstances, the second extension 772 of the unretracted sixth stop 761 is displaced by the force of closing the operation unit 21. This displacement of the second extension 772 allows the user to notice that the sixth stop 761 is not retracted.

[0354] The seventh embodiment will be described.

[0365] Figure 41 This is a perspective view showing an example of the auxiliary tray 66 of the seventh recording device 801 according to the seventh embodiment.

[0366] Figures 32-36 , Figures 39-41 They respectively showed the same as Figure 1 The same XYZ orthogonal coordinate axes.

[0367] exist Figures 32-41 In this example, only the portion in front of the seventh paper tray 831 in the seventh recording device 801 and an example of the auxiliary tray 66 are shown. In this embodiment, regarding the other portions of the seventh recording device 801, and... Figures 1-6 The examples are the same, so detailed explanations are omitted.

[0368] The configurations involved in this embodiment can be used in conjunction with the configurations of the 5th or 6th embodiment, or can be implemented independently of these embodiments.

[0369] In the 7th recording device 801, such as Figure 32 and Figure 39 As shown, when the 7th mounting portion 841 of the 7th row of paper trays 831 is in the use position, the surface of the 7th guide portion 865 is in the state described below: along the 7th inclined portion 851 of the 7th mounting portion 841, it is inclined in a way that it is located higher as it moves from downstream to upstream.

[0370] In other words, when the 7th mounting section 841 is in the use position, the 7th guide section 865 forms an inclined surface with a predetermined angle relative to the 7th mounting surface A27, so that the leading edge of the discharged paper faces obliquely upward.

[0371] On the other hand, such as Figure 35 and Figure 40 As shown, when the 7th mounting portion 841 of the 7th row of paper trays 831 is moved from the use position to the receiving position, the surface of the 7th guide portion 865 causes the upstream side of the surface to rotate upward, so that it is approximately parallel to the 7th mounting surface A27 of the 7th mounting portion 841.

[0372] In this state, when using the auxiliary tray 66, the seventh guide portion 865 can support the auxiliary tray 66. Specifically, the surface of the seventh guide portion 865, which serves as a guide member for the auxiliary tray 66, is approximately horizontal and can support the auxiliary tray 66 inserted from the outside.

[0373] Figure 40 The seventh rotation direction D7 is shown as the direction of rotation of the upstream side of the surface of the seventh guide 865.

[0374] Here, the rotation of the 7th guide section 865 can be achieved, for example, through the mechanism of the 7th recording device 801, or it can be achieved using a drive source. This drive source can be, for example, a shared drive source with the drive source 161 of the conveyor roller, or it can be a different drive source.

[0375] like Figure 33 and Figure 39 As shown, when the 7th mounting portion 841 is in the use position and the 7th stop 861 is in the extended state, the 7th retaining portion 871 of the 7th guide portion 865 engages with the 1st hole portion 881 of the 7th stop 861, and the 7th stop 861 is fixed while maintaining the extended state.

[0376] In addition, such as Figure 34 As shown, when the 7th mounting part 841 is in the use position and the 7th stop 861 is in the storage state, the 7th holding part 871 of the 7th guide part 865 engages with the 2nd hole 882 of the 7th stop 861, and the 7th stop 861 is fixed while maintaining the storage state.

[0377] However, when the 7th retaining portion 871 of the 7th guide portion 865 engages with the 2nd hole portion 882 of the 7th stop member 861, the 7th stop member 861 is not necessarily fixed. When the 7th mounting portion 841 is in the use position and the 7th stop member 861 is in the storage state, the 7th retaining portion 871 may also be provided with only the 2nd hole portion 882 in a manner that does not interfere with the 7th stop member 861.

[0378] Here, in this embodiment, the 7th retaining portion 871 of the 7th guide portion 865 is a protrusion that protrudes downward from the lower surface of the 7th guide portion 865.

[0379] In addition, such as Figure 36As shown, when the 7th mounting portion 841 is in the receiving position and the 7th stop member 861 is in the stored state, the engagement between the 7th holding portion 871 of the 7th guide portion 865 and the 2nd hole portion 882 of the 7th stop member 861 is released.

[0380] It should be noted that engagement can also be referred to as fitting or interlocking. In this embodiment, the protruding portion of the 7th retaining portion 871 has a shape that fits into the 1st hole portion 881 and the 2nd hole portion 882.

[0381] Figure 37 The appearance of the back of the 7th guide section 865 is shown.

[0382] Figure 38 The appearance of the seventh stop 861, which has a first hole 881 and a second hole 882, is shown.

[0383] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the seventh stop 861 is shown to have a first hole 881 and a second hole 882. However, as another example, the seventh stop 861 may also be configured to have either a first hole 881 or a second hole 882.

[0384] The seventh recording device 801 includes a force-applying part that applies force to the seventh stop 861 toward a retracted state. The force-applying part applies force in the direction of the seventh force-applying direction G7. This force-applying part may be constructed, for example, using a torsion spring.

[0385] The 7th row paper tray 831 has a 7th guide 865, which can guide the auxiliary tray 66 supporting special media and can support the media.

[0386] This special medium is, for example, a CD-R. In this case, the auxiliary tray 66 is a tray for embedding the CD-R. This tray can also be called a CD tray, etc.

[0387] It should be noted that other types of special media and auxiliary trays can also be used as special media and auxiliary trays 66.

[0388] Thus, in this embodiment, the seventh stop 861 is subjected to force in a manner that allows it to rotate in the storage direction. For example, when the seventh mounting portion 841 is in the use position, if the seventh stop 861 is pulled out by the user, the seventh retaining portion 871 engages with the first hole portion 881, and the seventh stop 861 remains in the pulled-out position.

[0389] On the other hand, when the 7th stop 861 is in the extended state and the 7th mounting portion 841 is accommodated, the upstream side of the surface of the 7th guide portion 865 rotates in a direction separating from the 7th mounting surface A27, and this surface is approximately horizontal. At this time, the 7th retaining portion 871 of the 7th guide portion 865 disengages from the 1st hole portion 881 of the 7th stop 861, and the 7th stop 861 shifts towards the retracted state.

[0390] The 7th guide portion 865 has a 7th retaining portion 871 that retains the 7th stop member 861 in an extended state.

[0391] When the 7th mounting portion 841 is in the receiving position, the 7th guide portion 865 is in the guiding position of the guide auxiliary tray 66, and when the 7th mounting portion 841 is in the use position, the 7th guide portion 865 is in the supporting position of the supporting medium.

[0392] When the 7th guide portion 865 is in the support position, the 7th retaining portion 871 can retain the 7th stop 861 in an extended state. When the 7th guide portion 865 is in the guide position, the 7th retaining portion 871 releases the retaining of the 7th stop 861.

[0393] Therefore, by applying force to the seventh stop 861 toward the retracted state, the seventh stop 861 is retracted when the lock is released.

[0394] Since the seventh guide 865 is unlocked when it rises, the seventh stop 861 can be stored with a simple configuration.

[0395] By linking with the displacement of the 7th guide 865, the increase in the number of components can be suppressed while the 7th stop 861 can be stored.

[0396] Furthermore, by having a locking part, the user has a click sensation when extending the 7th stop 861, thus improving usability.

[0397] When the 7th mounting portion 841 is in the use position, the 7th stop 861 is in the stored state and in the extended state, the 7th holding portion 871 holds the 7th stop 861.

[0398] Therefore, when the user extends the 7th stop 861 to the extended state, the 7th retaining part 871 locks the 7th stop 861 in the extended state. When not needed, the 7th stop 861 is retracted by the force-applying part and locked in the retracted state, which can prevent the 7th stop 861 from becoming an obstacle when it is not in use.

[0399] It should be noted that other configurations can also be used in this regard. For example, the configuration of the 7th stop 861 can be maintained in either the case where the 7th stop 861 is in the retracted state or the case where the 7th stop 861 is in the extended state.

[0400] For example, the 7th mounting portion 841 has a 7th inclined portion 851 that is supported at an angle in the downstream direction of the discharge direction of the medium.

[0401] In the retracted state, the 7th stop 861 is housed in the 7th inclined portion 851.

[0402] Therefore, by having the 7th inclined portion 851, it is possible to suppress the ejection of the discharged medium. Moreover, by housing the 7th stop 861 in the 7th inclined portion 851, the device can be miniaturized.

[0403] It should be noted that other configurations can also be used for this purpose.

[0404] For example, the seventh mounting surface A27 of the medium in the seventh mounting section 841 intersects with the seventh support surface A32 of the medium in the seventh stop member 861.

[0405] Therefore, since the seventh stop 861 is inclined relative to the seventh mounting surface A27, it is possible to suppress the ejection of the medium.

[0406] It should be noted that other configurations can also be used for this purpose.

[0407] For example, the seventh recording device 801 may also include a drive source 161 that moves the seventh mounting portion 841 to the receiving position and uses position displacement.

[0408] Therefore, usability is improved by automatically moving the 7th row paper tray 831. It should be noted that when the 7th row paper tray 831 is automatically stored while the 7th stop 861 is in the extended state, the possibility that the user will not notice that the 7th stop 861 is in the extended state and close the operation section 21 is higher. However, even in such a case, breakage can be suppressed.

[0409] It should be noted that other configurations can also be used for this purpose.

[0410] Here, the drive source of the 7th mounting unit 841 is not necessarily the same as the drive source 161 of the conveyor roller, and the 7th recording device 801 may also have other drive sources.

[0411] As described above, in the seventh recording device 801 according to this embodiment, when the seventh stop 861 provided on the seventh paper tray 831 is not stored but the seventh mounting part 841 is stored, the device can be prevented from being damaged when the operation part 21 is closed.

[0412] In the seventh recording device 801 according to this embodiment, the seventh stop member 861 is accommodated by the accommodating linkage with the seventh mounting portion 841 and the displacement of the seventh guide portion 865, thereby avoiding the situation where the seventh stop member 861 is not accommodated and only the seventh mounting portion 841 is accommodated.

[0421] Figures 42-47 Show respectively with Figure 1 The same XYZ orthogonal coordinate axes.

[0422] exist Figures 42-47In this example, only the relevant parts of the linkage mechanism between the eighth operating unit 921 and the eighth paper tray 931 in the eighth recording device 901 are shown. In this embodiment, other parts of the eighth recording device 901, and... Figures 1-6 The examples are the same, so detailed explanations are omitted.

[0423] The configuration involved in this embodiment can also be applied to the first embodiment, the first a embodiment, and the second to seventh embodiments, respectively.

[0424] In this embodiment, the drive source 161 is used for both driving the conveyor roller and driving the 8th row of paper trays 931.

[0425] Reference Figures 42-47 The linkage between the 8th row paper tray 931 and the 8th operation unit 921 will be explained.

[0426] Here, the 8th linkage 971 that performs this linkage includes a 1st lever 981, a 2nd lever 982, a cam-equipped gear 983, an 8A rotating shaft 984A, and an 8B rotating shaft 984B.

[0427] In this embodiment, a rack for rotating the cam-driven gear 983 is provided on the eighth mounting surface A28 of the eighth mounting portion 941.

[0428] The eighth row of paper trays 931 and the eighth operating section 921 are positioned above the box 121.

[0429] The 8th linkage unit 971 is positioned above the 8th row of paper trays 931.

[0430] The 8th operating unit 921 rotates around the 8th operating unit rotation axis C8, thereby shifting between a parallel state and an inclined state.

[0431] A cam-driven gear 983 engages with a rack (not shown) positioned on the eighth placement surface A28 of the eighth paper tray 931 further outward than the placement area of ​​the medium.

[0432] The cam-equipped gear 983 is rotatably connected to one end of the second rod 982.

[0433] One end of the first rod 981 is rotatably connected to the middle position of the rod-shaped part of the second rod 982 via the 8B rotating shaft 984B.

[0434] The other end of the first rod 981 is rotatably fixed to a predetermined position of the eighth recording device 901 via the eighth rotating shaft 984A.

[0435] exist Figure 42In the example, the 8th operating part 921 is in a parallel state, and the 8th mounting part 941 is in the receiving position. When the 8th operating part 921 is in a parallel state, the 8th inclined part 951 of the 8th mounting part 941 interferes with the lower end of the 8th operating part 921.

[0436] In this embodiment, when the 8th mounting section 941 is pulled out from this state toward the use position, the cam-driven gear 983 rotates in a predetermined direction, thereby... Figure 42 Examples Figure 43 As shown in the example, the 8th operation unit 921 gradually shifts from a parallel state to an inclined state.

[0437] In this embodiment, the action of the 8th operation unit 921 to move from a parallel state to an inclined state refers to... Figure 42 The state shown Figure 43 The state shown. In Figure 43 In the state shown, the upper end of the second lever 982 abuts against the eighth operating part 921.

[0438] Additionally, when from Figure 43 When the eighth mounting section 941 is pulled out toward the use position as shown, as Figure 44 As shown in the example, the second lever 982 separates from the eighth operating part 921, and the eighth mounting part 941 is further pulled out, thereby becoming Figure 45 The state of the example.

[0439] Here, in Figure 45 In the state shown, the posture of the second lever 982 becomes the same as... Figure 42 The posture shown is the same as the state shown. In this posture, the tilt angle of the 8th operation unit 921 can be changed arbitrarily.

[0440] exist Figure 46 In the example, the 8th operating part 921 is in a parallel state, and the 8th mounting part 941 is in the use position. When the 8th operating part 921 is in a parallel state, the 8th inclined part 951 of the 8th mounting part 941 interferes with the lower end of the 8th operating part 921.

[0441] In this embodiment, when the 8th mounting portion 941 rotates toward the receiving position from this state, it rotates in the opposite direction to the predetermined direction via the cam-equipped gear 983, such as... Figure 47 As shown in the example, the 8th operation unit 921 gradually shifts from a parallel state to an inclined state.

[0442] exist Figures 42-47 In the example, when the 8th operation part 921 is tilted, the lower end of the 8th operation part 921 does not exceed the front end of the box 121.

[0443] The eighth recording device 901 includes an eighth linkage 971 that rotates the eighth operation unit 921 in accordance with the displacement of the eighth mounting unit 941.

[0444] The eighth mounting section 941 has an eighth inclined section 951 that is supported at an angle in the downstream direction of the discharge direction of the medium.

[0445] When viewed in the direction intersecting with the first surface A1, the eighth inclined portion 951 overlaps with the eighth operating portion 921 in a parallel state.

[0446] Therefore, by having the 8th tilting portion 951, it is possible to suppress the ejection of the discharged medium. When the 8th tilting portion 951 is located in a position that interferes with the 8th operating portion 921 in a parallel state, although there is a possibility that the 8th paper tray 931 cannot be accommodated due to the position of the 8th operating portion 921, interference can be avoided by the 8th linkage portion 971.

[0447] Here, the linkage between the 8th mounting section 941 and the 8th operating section 921 is not necessarily for the entire displacement range of the 8th mounting section 941. For example, it can be carried out in a part of the displacement range where the interference between the lower end of the 8th operating section 921 and the 8th tilting section 951 of the 8th mounting section 941 can be eliminated.

[0448] Furthermore, the drive source for rotating the cam-driven gear 983 can be either a shared drive source with the drive source 161 of the conveyor roller, or it can be a different drive source.

[0449] It should be noted that, for example, the eighth recording device 901 may also include a locking part that fixes the eighth operation unit 921 in a predetermined tilt position. A detailed description of the mechanism of this locking part is omitted.

[0450] Reference Figures 48-49 The recording device 901a of the 8a will be described.

[0454] exist Figures 48-49In this example, only the relevant parts of the linkage mechanism between the 8a operating unit 921a and the 8a paper discharge tray 931a in the 8a recording device 901a are shown. In this embodiment, other parts of the 8a recording device 901a, and... Figures 1-6 The examples are the same, so detailed explanations are omitted.

[0455] The 8a recording device 901a described in this embodiment is a variation of the 8th recording device 901, and the differences between it and the 8th recording device 901 will be explained.

[0456] The configuration involved in this embodiment can also be applied to the first embodiment, the first a embodiment, and the second to seventh embodiments, respectively.

[0457] Figures 48-49 The 8a operation unit 921a, the 8a paper tray 931a, the 8a mounting unit 941a, and the 8a linkage unit 971a are shown.

[0459] exist Figures 48-49 In the example, when the 8a operation section 921a is tilted, the lower end of the 8a operation section 921a may extend beyond the front end of the box 121.
