Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a deodorizing cartridge and a recording device. Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, in a recording device for recording characters and images, there is known a recording device having a function of purifying odors generated by recording materials. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a printing device including a printing unit, a housing that houses the printing unit, and a gas purification unit that purifies gas. The gas purification unit is located outside the housing and communicates with the inside of the housing via an exhaust unit and a supply unit. This printing device uses a deodorant such as activated carbon or an ozone oxidizer to decompose or remove the odor of the gas inside the housing.

[0003] However, when the recording device is being transported or when the deodorizing cartridge is being installed on the recording device, if the deodorizing body rubs due to vibration, fine powder is generated, and the generated fine powder may sometimes leak to the outside.

[0016] 1. Structure of the recording device

[0017] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the structure of the recording device 1 of the embodiment will be described.

[0018] Figure 1 Is a perspective view of the recording device 1.

[0019] The recording device 1 is a device that performs recording on the medium M supported by the medium support portion 30 by ejecting a liquid from the recording head 89a. The medium M is a sheet, cloth, or three-dimensional object. The sheet can be paper or a synthetic resin sheet. The cloth can be any of non-woven fabric, woven fabric, and fabric. The three-dimensional object includes ornaments such as clothes and shoes, daily necessities, mechanical parts, and various other objects. The type of the liquid ejected by the recording device 1 onto the medium M is not limited as long as it has fluidity. For example, the recording device 1 is a printer that ejects inks of one or more colors onto the surface of the medium M through the recording head 89a to form an image on the medium M. In this case, the medium M can be referred to as a printing medium.

[0020] In Figure 1In it, the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis are shown. The X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis are orthogonal to each other. The Z-axis is an axis extending in the vertical direction, and can also be referred to as an axis extending in the plumb direction. The X-axis and Y-axis are parallel to the horizontal plane. In the following description, the direction along the X-axis is set as the left-right direction, and the direction along the Y-axis is set as the front-back direction. Specifically, the positive direction along the Z-axis is set as the upward direction, the positive direction along the X-axis is set as the rightward direction, and the positive direction along the Y-axis is set as the forward direction.

[0021] The recording device 1 includes a housing 10. The housing 10 is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped box, and a closed space is formed inside the housing 10. The housing 10 covers the medium support portion 30, the recording head 89a, the irradiation portion 89b, the first deodorizing mechanism 20, the second deodorizing mechanism 50, etc. described later, and stores them in the closed space. The housing 10 includes a front surface cover 11 along the front surface 10a and the upper surface 10b. The front surface cover 11 includes a cover main body 11a along the front surface 10a and the upper surface 10b, and a handle 11b connected to the lower end of the cover main body 11a. The front surface cover 11 is connected to the upper surface 10b of the housing 10 in such a manner that it can rotate about the left-right direction as an axis through a hinge at the rear end of the cover main body 11a. Therefore, by moving the handle 11b in the vertical direction, the front surface cover 11 can be opened and closed from the front. In addition, the housing 10 includes a bottom plate 13 at the bottom surface 10c, which is a plate facing the installation surface of the housing 10. The installation surface is a surface for installing the housing 10, such as the top surface of a table (not shown).

[0022] The recording device 1 includes a touch panel 12 disposed at the front part of the upper surface 10b. The touch panel 12 is constituted by, for example, a liquid crystal panel and an LED (Light Emitting Diode). The touch panel 12 is connected to a control unit 100 provided inside the housing 10. The touch panel 12 is configured such that a touch sensor for detecting a contact operation on the surface of the touch panel 12 and a display panel overlap. The display panel of the touch panel 12 is, for example, a liquid crystal panel. The control unit 100 controls the display panel of the touch panel 12 to display characters and images. In addition, the control unit 100 detects a contact operation on the touch panel 12 and specifies the operation position of the contact operation. The control unit 100, for example, causes the touch panel 12 to display information such as the progress status of recording achieved by the recording device 1 and the remaining amount of the liquid ejected during recording. In addition, the control unit 100 displays information related to the replacement timing of consumables of the first deodorizing mechanism 20 and the second deodorizing mechanism 50 described later.

[0023] Figure 2It is a top view of the recording apparatus 1 and schematically shows the internal structure of the recording apparatus 1. Figure 3 It is a perspective view of the recording apparatus 1. In Figure 3 order to facilitate explanation, the state after removing the front surface cover 11 is shown.

[0024] As Figure 2 shown, the recording apparatus 1 includes a pair of base members 15, a pair of guide shafts 91, a first deodorizing mechanism 20, a medium support portion 30, a second deodorizing mechanism 50, a drive mechanism 90, and a moving portion 70. The base members 15 are members extending in the left-right direction. The two base members 15 are arranged and disposed in the front-rear direction above the bottom plate 13 and are fixed to the bottom plate 13. The guide shafts 91 are shafts extending in the front-rear direction, and the two guide shafts 91 are arranged and disposed in the left-right direction so as to straddle the two base members 15.

[0025] The first deodorizing mechanism 20 and the second deodorizing mechanism 50 deodorize the air by sucking the air inside the housing 10 and removing the odor contained in the sucked air, and exhaust the air outside the housing 10. The details of the first deodorizing mechanism 20 and the second deodorizing mechanism 50 will be described later.

[0026] The medium support portion 30 supports the medium M to be recorded in the recording apparatus 1. As Figures 2 to 4 shown, the medium support portion 30 includes a workbench 31, a fall prevention plate 34, and a height moving mechanism 32. The workbench 31 is disposed at a position surrounded by the pair of base members 15 and the pair of guide shafts 91 when viewed from above. The workbench 31 has a support surface 31m that is a rectangular surface opposed to the upper side along the X-axis and the Y-axis.

[0027] The support surface 31m is a surface on which the medium M is placed in the medium support portion 30 and supports the medium M placed on the support surface 31m. As Figure 3 shown, in the state where the front surface cover 11 is opened, the support surface 31m is exposed in front of and above the housing 10. Therefore, in the state where the front surface cover 11 is opened, the medium M outside the housing 10 can be placed on the support surface 31m of the medium support portion 30 from the front of the support surface 31m. In addition, in the state where the front surface cover 11 is opened, the medium M placed on the support surface 31m of the medium support portion 30 can be taken out of the housing 10.

[0028] At the lower parts of the four corners of the workbench 31 on the support surface 31m, there are protrusions 31n that protrude outward from the support surface 31m when viewed from above. The workbench 31 is fixed to the lifting mechanism 39 described later with respect to the protrusions 31n, so that it can be supported in a manner that can be lifted and lowered relative to the base member 15.

[0029] The fall prevention plate 34 is a plate-shaped member that is in contact with the left side, right side, and rear side of the support surface 31m and is vertically erected. In other words, the fall prevention plate 34 is perpendicular to the support surface 31m, and surrounds the support surface 31m from the left and right directions and the rear along the end of the support surface 31m, and the front of the support surface 31m is not provided with the fall prevention plate 34 but is open.

[0030] The fall prevention plate 34 is formed, for example, by bending a single metal plate. The fall prevention plate 34 is arranged around the support surface 31m in such a way that a medium M that is significantly smaller than the support surface 31m does not fall from the support surface 31m. The support surface 31m can be lifted and lowered as described later, and the fall prevention plate 34 is fixed in a non-lifting manner. The fall prevention plate 34 extends in the height direction within the range from the lowest position to the highest position of the support surface 31m. Therefore, at least a part of the fall prevention plate 34 is located above the support surface 31m when the support surface 31m is at the lowest position.

[0031] The height moving mechanism 32 lifts and lowers the workbench 31 up and down. By lifting and lowering the workbench 31 with the height moving mechanism 32, the support surface 31m can be moved up and down, and further, the medium M supported on the support surface 31m can be lifted and lowered. The height moving mechanism 32 includes a lifting motor 33, a lifting belt 37, and a lifting mechanism 39. The lifting mechanism 39 has a ball screw arranged along the vertical direction, a nut screwed to the ball screw, and a pulley. The ball screw of the lifting mechanism 39 is rotatably supported by the base member 15. The nut of the lifting mechanism 39 is fixed to the protrusion 31n of the workbench 31. The recording device 1 is provided with a set of lifting mechanisms 39 including a ball screw, a nut, and a pulley, for example, corresponding to each of the four protrusions 31n provided at the four corners of the workbench 31. The pulley of the lifting mechanism 39 is fixed to the upper part of the ball screw. When the pulley of the lifting mechanism 39 rotates, the ball screw rotates, so that the protrusion 31n moves along the vertical direction together with the nut with the rotation of the ball screw.

[0032] The lifting motor 33 is a motor that rotates according to the control of the control unit 100. The control unit 100 controls the rotation direction and the rotation amount of the lifting motor 33. The lifting belt 37 is an annular belt that is stretched over the output shaft of the lifting motor 33 and the pulleys of the four lifting mechanisms 39. By rotating the lifting motor 33, the lifting belt 37 is circularly driven. The lifting belt 37 transmits the rotation of the lifting motor 33 to the pulleys of the four lifting mechanisms 39. Thereby, the ball screw of the lifting mechanism 39 rotates to move the workbench 31 in the vertical direction. Since the four lifting mechanisms 39 are linked to operate by the lifting belt 37 to move the workbench 31, for example, the workbench 31 can be lifted and lowered while maintaining the horizontal state of the support surface 31m.

[0033] The rotation direction of the lifting motor 33 can be switched to the positive direction for moving the workbench 31 upward and the reverse direction for moving the workbench 31 downward. The recording device 1 operates the lifting motor 33 to raise and lower the workbench 31.

[0034] The drive mechanism 90 includes a pair of guide shafts 91 and a frame drive unit 60. The guide shafts 91 are shaft-like members that are stretched over a pair of base members 15 and are arranged in the front-rear direction.

[0035] The frame drive unit 60 includes a frame moving motor 61, a transmission belt 63, a speed change mechanism 65, and a transmission belt 67. The frame moving motor 61 is a motor that rotates according to the control of the control unit 100. The transmission belt 63 is an annular belt that is stretched between the output shaft of the frame moving motor 61 and the speed change mechanism 65, and transmits the driving force of the frame moving motor 61 to the speed change mechanism 65. The speed change mechanism 65 has a first pulley and a second pulley. The transmission belt 63 is wound around the first pulley, and the transmission belt 67 is wound around the second pulley. The speed change mechanism 65 drives the transmission belt 67 by rotating the second pulley by using the driving force transmitted from the transmission belt 63 to the first pulley. The speed change mechanism 65 transmits the driving force of the frame moving motor 61 to the transmission belt 67 at a reduction ratio corresponding to the ratio of the diameters of the first pulley and the second pulley.

[0036] The transmission belt 67 is an annular belt that is stretched between the speed change mechanism 65 and a frame moving pulley 17 disposed at the rear end of the base member 15. The frame moving pulley 17 is a pulley that is rotatably provided with respect to the base member 15. The transmission belt 67 is arranged along the guide shaft 91.

[0037] The moving unit 70 includes a main frame 71, a pair of leg portions 73, and a carriage 89. The main frame 71 is a plate-shaped member that is long in the left-right direction. The pair of leg portions 73 are fitted to a pair of guide shafts 91 and are capable of moving along the guide shafts 91. The main frame 71 is fixed on the pair of leg portions 73 and is supported from below by the pair of leg portions 73. The main frame 71 and the pair of leg portions 73 are guided by the pair of guide shafts 91 and thus move in the front-rear direction.

[0038] The leg portion 73 of the pair of leg portions 73 that supports the left end of the main frame 71 fixes the conveyor belt 67 via a belt connection portion 79. Therefore, by circularly driving the conveyor belt 67, a power that causes the leg portion 73 to move in the front-rear direction acts on the leg portion 73. Thereby, the moving unit 70 moves in the front-rear direction. In addition, the lower end of the main frame 71 is located above the support surface 31m when the workbench 31 is at the uppermost position. Therefore, the main frame 71 moves in the front-rear direction above the support surface 31m without interfering with the support surface 31m.

[0039] The rotation direction of the frame moving motor 61 can be switched to the forward direction that causes the main frame 71 to move forward and the reverse direction that causes the main frame 71 to move backward. The recording device 1 moves the main frame 71 forward and backward by operating the frame moving motor 61.

[0040] The carriage 89 is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped box and is supported by the main frame 71 via carriage guide shafts 83. The carriage guide shafts 83 are shaft-shaped members fixed relative to the main frame 71 and extend in the left-right direction along the main frame 71. The carriage guide shafts 83 support the carriage 89 so as to be movable in the left-right direction. In addition, the lower end of the carriage 89 is located above the support surface 31m when the workbench 31 is at the uppermost position. Therefore, the carriage 89 moves in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction above the support surface 31m without interfering with the support surface 31m.

[0041] In addition, the carriage 89 is connected to the carriage drive belt 85. The carriage drive belt 85 is an annular belt configured to extend along the carriage guide shaft 83 by mounting one end on the carriage drive pulley 86 and the other end on the output shaft of the carriage drive motor 87. The carriage drive pulley 86 is a pulley rotatably fixed at the right end of the main frame 71. The carriage drive motor 87 is fixed at the left end of the main frame 71 and rotates its output shaft in accordance with the control of the control unit 100. The carriage drive motor 87 drives the carriage drive belt 85 to circulate by rotating the output shaft. Thus, the carriage drive motor 87 moves the carriage 89 connected to the carriage drive belt 85 in the left-right direction along the carriage guide shaft 83.

[0042] The drive mechanism 90, the carriage drive belt 85, the carriage drive pulley 86, and the carriage drive motor 87 correspond to an example of a moving mechanism that relatively moves the carriage 89 with respect to the medium M.

[0043] The carriage 89 includes a recording head 89a and an irradiation unit 89b. The recording head 89a has a plurality of nozzles (not shown) that open downward from the lower end surface of the carriage 89. The recording head 89a ejects liquid from these nozzles by driving a piezoelectric actuator (not shown). When the recording head 89a ejects liquid from the nozzles, the ejected liquid travels between the nozzles and the medium M placed on the worktable 31 and splashes onto the medium M. In addition, in the present embodiment, the liquid ejected from the nozzles of the recording head 89a is an ink that cures by ultraviolet light. The recording head 89a records characters and images formed by the liquid on the medium M by splashing the liquid onto the medium M in the medium support portion 30. The recording head 89a corresponds to an example of a recording unit.

[0044] The irradiation unit 89b includes an irradiation window (not shown) that faces downward from the lower end surface of the carriage 89. The irradiation window is formed of a plate made of a light-transmissive material. The irradiation unit 89b emits irradiation light from a light source unit (not shown) through the irradiation window. The irradiation light emitted from the irradiation unit 89b passes between the irradiation window and the medium M placed on the worktable 31 and irradiates the medium M after recording by the recording head 89a. In the present embodiment, the irradiation unit 89b includes a UV-LED (Ultraviolet Light Emitting Diode) that emits ultraviolet light, and the irradiation light is ultraviolet light. That is, in the present embodiment, the irradiation unit 89b irradiates ultraviolet light onto the ink that cures by ultraviolet light splashed onto the medium M to fix the ink to the medium M.

[0045] The ink ejected from the recording head 89a is so-called UV ink that cures when irradiated with ultraviolet rays. The UV ink has a unique odor. If the recording device 1 uses such ink to perform recording on the medium M, the odor of the ink will waft inside the housing 10. Since the recording head 89a moves in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction during recording, the odor of the ink will diffuse inside the housing 10. The first deodorizing mechanism 20 and the second deodorizing mechanism 50 remove the odor emitted by the ink by sucking the air inside the housing 10 and discharge the purified air.

[0046] As Figure 2 shown, the first deodorizing mechanism 20 is disposed on the left side of the medium support portion 30. The first deodorizing mechanism 20 is inside the range R1 in which the carriage 89 moves in the left-right direction. The range in which the recording head 89a in the range R1 performs recording on the medium M is set as the recording range R2. The recording range R2 is the range in which the recording head 89a faces the support surface 31m in the direction along the X axis. The range other than the recording range R2 in the range R1 is set as the avoidance range. In the avoidance range, the recording head 89a does not face the support surface 31m. As Figure 2 shown, the first deodorizing mechanism 20 is disposed such that at least a part of the first deodorizing mechanism 20 is located in the avoidance range. The position of the first deodorizing mechanism 20 is close to the position of the recording head 89a when the recording head 89a ejects ink and does not interfere with the ejection of the ink by the recording head 89a. Therefore, by using the first deodorizing mechanism 20, it is possible to efficiently deodorize the odor of the ink used in recording without affecting the recording operation of the recording device 1.

[0047] As Figure 2 shown, the second deodorizing mechanism 50 is disposed behind the medium support portion 30. The second deodorizing mechanism 50 is between a pair of guide shafts 91 in the direction along the X axis, and at least a part of the second deodorizing mechanism 50 overlaps the support surface 31m. In the direction along the Y axis, the second deodorizing mechanism 50 is located behind the workbench 31. In addition, the second deodorizing mechanism 50 and the front surface cover 11 are disposed on opposite sides with the medium support portion 30 interposed therebetween. The position of the second deodorizing mechanism 50 is close to the position of the recording head 89a when the recording head 89a ejects ink and does not interfere with the ejection of the ink by the recording head 89a. Therefore, by using the second deodorizing mechanism 50, it is possible to efficiently deodorize the odor of the ink used in recording without affecting the recording operation of the recording device 1.

[0048] One of the first deodorizing mechanism 20 and the second deodorizing mechanism 50, which are the two deodorizing mechanisms of the recording device 1, is in a position side by side with the support surface 31m in the direction along the X-axis, and the other is in a position juxtaposed with the support surface 31m in the direction along the Y-axis. The first deodorizing mechanism 20 is in a position suitable for deodorizing the odor diffused due to the carriage 89 moving along the X-axis. The second deodorizing mechanism 50 is in a position suitable for deodorizing the odor diffused due to the carriage 89 moving along the Y-axis together with the moving part 70. Thus, by arranging a plurality of deodorizing mechanisms, that is, the first deodorizing mechanism 20 and the second deodorizing mechanism 50, in positions side by side with the medium support part 30 in the direction along the X-axis and in positions juxtaposed with the medium support part 30 in the direction along the Y-axis, the air inside the housing 10 can be deodorized efficiently.

[0049] The first deodorizing mechanism 20 and the second deodorizing mechanism 50 are fixed to the base member 15 or the bottom plate 13 by means such as screw fixation.

[0050] In Figure 2 In the structure shown, the first deodorizing mechanism 20 and the second deodorizing mechanism 50 are arranged such that at least a part of the medium support part 30 overlaps with the positions between the first deodorizing mechanism 20 and the second deodorizing mechanism 50 in a top view. With this structure, the odor of the ink ejected from the recording head 89a to the medium support part 30 can be deodorized more efficiently.

[0051] In Figure 2 In the structure shown, in the structure where the medium support part 30 has a rectangular workbench 31, the first deodorizing mechanism 20 and the second deodorizing mechanism 50 are arranged corresponding to any one of the four sides forming the periphery of the workbench 31.

[0052] In another expression, the first deodorizing mechanism 20 and the second deodorizing mechanism 50 are arranged to face any one of the four sides forming the periphery of the workbench 31. In this structure, the first deodorizing mechanism 20 and the second deodorizing mechanism 50 are arranged such that the sides of the workbench 31 facing the first deodorizing mechanism 20 and the sides of the workbench 31 facing the second deodorizing mechanism 50 do not face each other.

[0053] In addition, in Figure 2 In the structure shown, the first deodorizing mechanism 20 and the second deodorizing mechanism 50 are arranged such that the two do not face each other with the medium support part 30 in between.

[0054] 2. Structure of the deodorizing mechanism

[0055] Figure 4 And Figure 5Is a perspective view of the deodorizing mechanism, Figure 6 Is a perspective view of the deodorizing mechanism and the deodorizing box 40. Figure 4 Is a perspective view when observing the deodorizing mechanism from the front, Figure 5 Is a perspective view when observing the deodorizing mechanism from the rear. Figure 6 Is a view showing the state after the deodorizing box 40 to be housed in the deodorizing mechanism is taken out.

[0056] The first deodorizing mechanism 20 and the second deodorizing mechanism 50 have a common structure. Although the structure of the first deodorizing mechanism 20 will be described below, this description can also be applied to the second deodorizing mechanism 50.

[0057] Figure 4 And Figure 5 The up-down direction in corresponds to the up-down direction when the first deodorizing mechanism 20 and the second deodorizing mechanism 50 are provided in the recording apparatus 1.

[0058] The first deodorizing mechanism 20 includes a storage part 21, a lid part 23, a first blower 27, and a pipe 29. The second deodorizing mechanism 50 includes a storage part 51, a lid part 53, a second blower 57, and a pipe 59. The first blower 27 and the second blower 57 correspond to air-sending fans.

[0059] The storage part 21 has a substantially box shape and includes a front surface 21a, side surfaces 21b, 21d, a back surface 21c, and a bottom surface 21e. The front surface 21a, the side surfaces 21b, 21d, the back surface 21c, and the bottom surface 21e are all formed of a surface material made of a non-combustible or flame-retardant material. For example, the storage part 21 is formed of a metal plate such as a steel plate. The upper surface of the storage part 21 is open, and the lid part 23 is disposed so as to cover the opening.

[0060] The front surface 21a is a surface opposed to the back surface 21c, and the side surface 21b is a surface opposed to the side surface 21d. Lid support parts 21f are provided at the upper end portions of the side surfaces 21b and 21d. The lid support parts 21f on the side surface 21b and the lid support parts 21f on the side surface 21d face each other.

[0061] The cover portion 23 has a top panel 23a and a base panel 23b, and has a structure in which the top panel 23a and the base panel 23b are connected by a hinge portion 23c. The base end portion of the base panel 23b is rotatably connected to the cover support portion 21f of the side surface 21b and the cover support portion 21f of the side surface 21d via a support portion 23e. The top end portion of the base panel 23b is rotatably connected to the base end portion of the top panel 23a via the hinge portion 23c. Therefore, the top panel 23a and the base panel 23b can rotate relative to each other, and the base panel 23b can rotate relative to the storage portion 21. The top panel 23a and the base panel 23b are made of, for example, synthetic resin. In addition, like the front surface 21a, the side surface 21b, the side surface 21d, the back surface 21c, and the bottom surface 21e, the top panel 23a and the base panel 23b can be formed of a surface material made of a non-combustible or flame-retardant material.

[0062] A recess 23d is formed in the top panel 23a. The recess 23d is used for the user to hook a finger when opening the cover portion 23.

[0063] A first inlet 25 is opened at the upper part of the storage portion 21. The first inlet 25 is an opening formed by grooving a part of the upper part of the front surface 21a. In the present embodiment, the first inlet 25 is formed only on the front surface 21a and not on the back surface 21c. The front surface 21a is the surface facing the medium support portion 30 in a state where the first deodorizing mechanism 20 is provided in the recording apparatus 1. It is also possible to adopt a structure in which the first inlet 25 is provided on a surface other than the front surface 21a in the storage portion 21. However, by providing the first inlet 25 only on the front surface 21a, the air flow in the first deodorizing mechanism 20 is limited to a specific direction, so that the deodorization performed by the first deodorizing mechanism 20 can be more effectively implemented.

[0064] A deodorizing cartridge 40 is stored in the storage portion 21. By opening the first inlet 25 on the side surface 21b, the upper surface of the deodorizing cartridge 40 is exposed inside the housing 10. The deodorizing cartridge 40 is removably stored in the storage portion 21, so that the deodorizing cartridge 40 can be replaced.

[0065] In addition, the deodorizing cartridge 40 is stored in the storage portion 21 via a resin member 109 that prevents shaking. In Figure 8 an example in which the resin member 109 is provided on the bottom surface of the deodorizing cartridge 40 is shown. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the shaking of the deodorizing cartridge 40 stored in the storage portion 21, and further suppress the leakage of the deodorizing powder to the outside.

[0066] A first blower 27 is installed at the lower part of the storage section 21. The first blower 27 has a fan (not shown) and a casing that surrounds the fan. The fan of the first blower 27 faces the interior of the storage section 21 via an opening (not shown) formed in the bottom surface 21e. An opening is provided in the casing of the first blower 27, and a duct 29 is connected to the first blower 27 so as to cover the opening.

[0067] The first blower 27 sucks the air inside the storage section 21 and discharges it into the duct 29. The duct 29 guides the exhaust gas of the first blower 27 below the first deodorizing mechanism 20. By the operation of the first blower 27, the air inside the housing 10 is sucked from the first inlet 25. This air passes through the inside of the storage section 21, passes through the first blower 27 and the duct 29, and is discharged from below the first deodorizing mechanism 20. Since the inside of the housing 10 becomes negative pressure by discharging the air, fresh air can be introduced into the housing 10 from the outside of the housing 10.

[0068] As described above, the first deodorizing mechanism 20 and the second deodorizing mechanism 50 have a common structure. For example, the second deodorizing mechanism 50 has a storage section 51 corresponding to the storage section 21, a lid section 53 corresponding to the lid section 23, a second blower 57 corresponding to the first blower 27, and a duct 59 corresponding to the duct 29. Similar to the storage section 21, the storage section 51 has a front surface 51a, side surfaces 51b, 51d, a back surface 51c, and a bottom surface 51e, and a second inlet 55 is opened in the upper part of the storage section 51 on the front surface 51a. Similar to the lid section 23, the lid section 53 has a top panel 53a, a base panel 53b, a hinge section 53c, a recess 53d, and a support section 53e. These structures correspond to the respective parts of the first deodorizing mechanism 20 as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown.

[0069] A deodorizing cartridge 40 is stored in the storage section 51. The deodorizing cartridge 40 is removably stored in the storage section 51 so that the deodorizing cartridge 40 can be replaced. The deodorizing cartridge 40 stored in the storage section 51 and the deodorizing cartridge 40 stored in the storage section 21 can use a common structure. That is, the deodorizing cartridge 40 can be installed on either the first deodorizing mechanism 20 or the second deodorizing mechanism 50.

[0070] 3. Structure of the deodorizing unit

[0071] Figure 7 is a perspective view of the deodorizing cartridge 40, Figure 8 is a main part cross-sectional view of the deodorizing cartridge 40. Specifically, Figure 8 is Figure 7Cross-sectional view taken along the line C-C as shown

[0072] The deodorizing box 40 has a deodorizing body cover 41. The deodorizing body cover 41 has an upper cover 42 that constitutes the upper surface of the deodorizing body cover 41, and a cover main body 43. The cover main body 43 is a substantially box-shaped container. The deodorizing body cover 41 corresponds to the storage body.

[0073] An opening (not shown) is formed on the bottom surface of the cover main body 43. An upper surface ventilation hole 42a is opened in the upper cover 42. These openings are provided so as to enable ventilation between the space inside the cover main body 43 and the outside. The opening formed on the bottom surface of the cover main body 43 and the upper surface ventilation hole 42a correspond to the opening part.

[0074] A handle 44 is attached to the upper cover 42. By holding the handle 44, the user can pick up the deodorizing box 40 without touching the deodorizing unit 47 with the hand.

[0075] In a state where the deodorizing box 40 is stored in the first deodorizing mechanism 20, the air flowing into the storage part 21 from the first inlet 25 by the operation of the first blower 27 passes through the upper surface ventilation hole 42a and is conveyed to the deodorizing unit 47. After passing through the deodorizing unit 47, the air is discharged from the opening provided on the bottom surface of the cover main body 43, and flows through the bottom surface 21e to the first blower 27.

[0076] The front surface 21a, side surfaces 21b, 21d, back surface 21c, and bottom surface 21e constituting the storage part 21 are made of a non-combustible or flame-retardant material. Similarly, the front surface 51a, side surfaces 51b, 51d, back surface 51c, and bottom surface 51e constituting the storage part 51 are made of a non-combustible or flame-retardant material. When using a combustible material such as activated carbon as the deodorizing body, it is necessary to consider the risk of ignition occurring in the deodorizing unit 47. In the recording apparatus 1, since five surfaces of the storage part 21 and the storage part 51 are made of a non-combustible or flame-retardant material, the risk of ignition occurring in the deodorizing unit 47 can be minimized. Therefore, a combustible material can be used as the deodorizing unit 47. Therefore, the degree of freedom in selecting the deodorizing unit 47 is high, and by using the deodorizing unit 47 suitable for the ink as the odor source, deodorization can be performed efficiently.

[0077] 4. Replacement of the deodorizing unit

[0078] In the first deodorizing mechanism 20 and the second deodorizing mechanism 50, the deodorizing cartridge 40 can be replaced. That is, the user can remove the deodorizing cartridge 40 installed in the first deodorizing mechanism 20 and place a new deodorizing cartridge 40 in the first deodorizing mechanism 20. When performing the operation of replacing the deodorizing cartridge 40, the user can easily handle the deodorizing cartridge 40 by holding the handle 44.

[0079] As Figure 5 shown, when the user hooks a finger on the recess 23d and lifts the top panel 23a, the cover portion 23 rotates about the support portion 23e in the OP direction in the figure. Thereby, the cover portion 23 is lifted to open the upper surface of the storage portion 21. In the state where the cover portion 23 is opened, by rotating the top panel 23a about the hinge portion 23c, the cover portion 23 can be folded as Figure 5 shown so that the top panel 23a overlaps the base panel 23b. In addition, Figure 5 illustrates the cover portion 23 in both the state where the cover portion 23 is closed and the state where the cover portion 23 is opened.

[0080] Since the upper part of the storage portion 21 is opened in the state where the cover portion 23 is opened, the user can perform the operation of removing the deodorizing cartridge 40 from the storage portion 21 and the operation of inserting the deodorizing cartridge 40 into the storage portion 21. Thereby, in the first deodorizing mechanism 20 and the second deodorizing mechanism 50, the deodorizing cartridge 40 can be easily replaced.

[0081] When inserting the deodorizing cartridge 40 into the storage portion 21, the user holds the handle 44 with a hand and moves the deodorizing cartridge 40 in the -Z axis direction to insert the deodorizing cartridge 40 into the storage portion 21. In addition, when removing the deodorizing cartridge 40 from the storage portion 21, the user also holds the handle 44 with a hand and moves the deodorizing cartridge 40 in the +Z axis direction to remove the deodorizing cartridge 40 from the storage portion 21. The Z-axis direction corresponds to the disassembly and assembly direction, the +Z axis direction corresponds to the removal direction, and the -Z axis direction corresponds to the installation direction. In the operation of replacing the deodorizing cartridge 40, the user holds the handle 44 with a hand to remove and install the deodorizing cartridge 40. Thereby, the replacement of the deodorizing cartridge 40 can be performed with a simple operation.

[0082] As Figure 5As shown, a first deodorant body sensor 28a and a first lid sensor 28b are arranged at the back surface 21c of the first deodorizing mechanism 20. The first deodorant body sensor 28a is a sensor for detecting whether a deodorant cartridge 40 is stored in the storage portion 21. The first lid sensor 28b is a sensor for detecting whether the lid portion 23 is closed. The first deodorant body sensor 28a and the first lid sensor 28b are constituted by, for example, a switch-type sensor, a reflection-type optical sensor, or the like.

[0083] Similarly, a second deodorant body sensor 58a and a second lid sensor 58b are arranged at the back surface 51c of the second deodorizing mechanism 50. The second deodorant body sensor 58a is a sensor for detecting whether a deodorant cartridge 40 is stored in the storage portion 51. The second lid sensor 58b is a sensor for detecting whether the lid portion 53 is closed. The second deodorant body sensor 58a and the second lid sensor 58b are constituted by, for example, a switch-type sensor, a reflection-type optical sensor, or the like.

[0084] The first deodorant body sensor 28a and the first lid sensor 28b are connected to the control unit 100. The control unit 100 can detect whether the deodorant cartridge 40 is installed in the first deodorizing mechanism 20 based on the detection value of the first deodorant body sensor 28a. In addition, the control unit 100 detects whether the lid portion 23 is closed based on the detection value of the first lid sensor 28b.

[0085] The second deodorant body sensor 58a and the second lid sensor 58b are connected to the control unit 100. The control unit 100 can detect whether the deodorant cartridge 40 is installed in the second deodorizing mechanism 50 based on the detection value of the second deodorant body sensor 58a. In addition, the control unit 100 detects whether the lid portion 53 is closed based on the detection value of the second lid sensor 58b.

[0086] 5. Structure of the deodorant body

[0087] Figure 8 is Figure 7 a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of

[0088] While referring to Figure 8 the structure of the deodorizing unit 47 stored in the storage portion 21 will be described. The deodorizing unit 47 includes activated carbon 101, a bag member 103, polyurethanes 105A, 105B, and non-woven fabric sheets 107A, 107B. The polyurethane 105A corresponds to the first elastic body, and the polyurethane 105B corresponds to the second elastic body. The non-woven fabric sheet 107A corresponds to the first non-woven fabric, and the non-woven fabric sheet 107B corresponds to the second non-woven fabric.

[0089] Activated carbon 101 corresponds to an example of a deodorizing body. For example, granular carbon can be used. The shape of the granular carbon can be any shape, but for example, it can also be a cylindrical shape.

[0090] The activated carbon 101 is housed in the bag member 103. For the bag member 103, for example, non-woven fabric can be used.

[0091] The bag member 103 housing the activated carbon 101 is fixed in the up and down directions in the Z-axis direction by polyurethanes 105A and 105B in the storage portion 21. The Z-axis direction also corresponds to the ventilation direction in the deodorizing box 40. The ventilation direction is the moving direction of the air in the deodorizing body cover 41 sucked by the first blower 27. Polyurethane 105A is disposed on the upper side in the Z-axis direction, that is, the upper portion of the bag member 103, and polyurethane 105B is disposed on the lower side in the Z-axis direction, that is, the lower portion of the bag member 103. The Z-axis direction corresponds to the first direction. The upper side in the Z-axis direction corresponds to one side in the first direction, and the lower side in the Z-axis direction corresponds to the other side in the first direction. Polyurethane 105A contacts and fixes the bag member 103 housing the activated carbon 101 from above, and polyurethane 105B contacts and fixes the bag member 103 housing the activated carbon 101 from below.

[0092] A large amount of fine powder is generated due to the friction between the non-woven fabric and the activated carbon 101 in the activated carbon 101 housed in the non-woven fabric bag member 103. By fixing the bag member 103 with the upper and lower polyurethanes 105A and 105B, the movement of the activated carbon 101 in the bag member 103 is suppressed to reduce friction, and thus the generation of fine powder of the activated carbon 101 is reduced.

[0093] The polyurethanes 105A and 105B are housed in the storage portion 21 while being elastically deformed in such a manner that the polyurethanes 105A and 105B are squeezed. Thus, the activated carbon 101 clamped from the up and down directions by the polyurethanes 105A and 105B is suppressed from moving due to vibration, and thus the powder falling from the activated carbon 101 can be reduced.

[0094] In the present embodiment, an example in which the polyurethanes 105A and 105B are disposed above and below the bag member 103 housing the activated carbon 101 is shown. The arrangement of the polyurethanes 105A and 105B is not limited to above and below the bag member 103, and the polyurethanes 105A and 105B can also be disposed at least in one of the left and right directions in the X-axis direction and the front and back directions in the Y-axis direction in a state where the deodorizing box 40 is housed in the storage portion 21 of the first deodorizing mechanism 20.

[0095] A nonwoven fabric sheet 107A is disposed above the polyurethane 105A in the Z-axis direction, and a nonwoven fabric sheet 107B is disposed below the polyurethane 105B in the Z-axis direction.

[0096] The nonwoven fabric sheet 107A has a function of adsorbing the ink mist flowing into the storage unit 21 due to the air supply operation of the first blower 27. Since the deodorizing effect of the activated carbon 101 sometimes significantly decreases when the ink mist enters the storage unit 21, the nonwoven fabric sheet 107A is used to adsorb the ink mist flowing into the storage unit 21.

[0097] The nonwoven fabric sheet 107B has a function of adsorbing the fine powder of the activated carbon 101 to prevent the leakage of the fine powder to the outside. The nonwoven fabric sheet 107B is disposed on the downstream side in the ventilation direction with respect to the bag member 103 that stores the activated carbon 101.

[0098] The air flowing into the storage unit 21 from the first inlet 25 through the air supply operation of the first blower 27 passes through the upper surface ventilation holes 42a and is conveyed to the deodorizing unit 47. At this time, by providing the nonwoven fabric sheet 107B on the downstream side in the ventilation direction, it is possible to prevent the fine powder of the activated carbon 101 from leaking to the outside through the opening formed on the bottom surface of the cover body 43.

[0099] 6. Structure of the control system of the recording device

[0100] Figure 9 It is a block diagram showing the structure of the control system of the recording device 1.

[0101] The recording device 1 includes a control unit 100. The control unit 100 includes a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or an MPU (Micro Processing Unit), and a storage unit. The storage unit of the control unit 100 has a volatile memory and a non-volatile storage unit. The volatile memory is, for example, a RAM (Random Access Memory). The non-volatile storage unit is composed of a ROM (Read Only Memory), a hard disk, a flash memory, etc. The control unit 100 controls each part of the recording device 1 by executing the program stored in the storage unit.

[0102] An interface (I / F) 110 is connected to the control unit 100. The interface 110 is a communication device that performs wired communication using a cable or wireless communication using a wireless communication line. The interface 110 communicates with a host (not shown) and receives recorded data. The recorded data includes data of images and characters recorded by the recording device 1 on the medium M, instructions for instructing the recording execution of the recording device 1, and other data.

[0103] A lifting motor 33, a frame moving motor 61, a carriage drive motor 87, a recording head 89a, and an irradiation unit 89b are connected to the control unit 100. In addition, a display unit 12, a first blower 27, and a second blower 57 are connected to the control unit 100. The control unit 100 controls the lifting of the support surface 31m, for example, by controlling the lifting motor 33.

[0104] The control unit 100 operates each motor based on the recorded data received by the interface 110. Specifically, the control unit 100 moves the moving unit 70 in the front-rear direction by controlling the switching of the rotation direction of the frame moving motor 61 and the start and stop of the rotation of the frame moving motor 61. The control unit 100 moves the workbench 31 in the up-down direction by controlling the switching of the rotation direction of the lifting motor 33 and the start and stop of the rotation of the lifting motor 33. The control unit 100 moves the carriage 89 in the left-right direction by controlling the switching of the carriage drive motor 87 and the start and stop of the rotation of the carriage drive motor 87.

[0105] The control unit 100 ejects liquid from the recording head 89a onto the medium M based on the recorded data received by the interface 110 to perform recording. In addition, the control unit 101 irradiates the medium M after recording with irradiation light from the irradiation unit 89b to fix the liquid attached to the medium M on the medium M. And the control unit 100 operates the display unit 12 to cause the display unit 12 to display information. The control unit 100 operates the first blower 27 and the second blower 57 to deodorize the air inside the housing 10 and discharge it to the outside of the housing 10.

[0106] 7. Other Embodiments

[0107] The above embodiments merely show a specific example of applying the present invention. The present invention is not limited to the structure of the above embodiments, but can be implemented in various ways without departing from the gist of the invention.

[0108] For example, although the structure in which the recording apparatus 1 has the first deodorizing mechanism 20 and the second deodorizing mechanism 50 is exemplified in the above-described embodiment, this structure is an example. For example, the recording apparatus 1 may also include three or more deodorizing mechanisms.

[0109] In addition, for example, in the above-described embodiment, the structure in which the first deodorizing mechanism 20 discharges air downward through the pipe 29 and the second deodorizing mechanism 50 discharges air downward through the pipe 59 has been described. In this structure, the exhaust air of the first deodorizing mechanism 20 and the exhaust air of the second deodorizing mechanism 50 are discharged toward the bottom plate 13 inside the housing 10. This structure is an example. For example, the first deodorizing mechanism 20 may also be a structure that includes a pipe 29 connected to the outside of the housing 10 and discharges air to the outside of the housing 10 through the pipe 29. The second deodorizing mechanism 50 is also set in the same way.

[0110] In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the structure in which the workbench 31 on which the medium M is placed does not move in the direction along the X axis and the direction along the Y axis but the carriage 89 moves has been exemplified. The application object of the present invention is not limited to the structure of this embodiment. For example, of course, the present invention can also be applied to a recording apparatus that moves the medium M in at least any one of the direction along the X axis and the direction along the Y axis when recording on the medium M.

[0111] 8. Summary of the present disclosure

[0112] Hereinafter, a summary of the present disclosure is appended.

[0113] Appended Note 1

[0114] A deodorizing cartridge, which is a deodorizing cartridge for a recording apparatus, includes: a housing body that has a handle and is formed with an opening for ventilation; a deodorizing unit that is housed in the housing body, the deodorizing unit including: a deodorizing body; a first elastic body and a second elastic body, the first elastic body and the second elastic body are respectively disposed on both sides in a first direction of the deodorizing body, and the first elastic body and the second elastic body are housed in the housing body in a state of being elastically deformed, and air in the housing body is ventilated in the first direction through the opening.

[0115] According to this structure, the deodorizing unit is housed in the housing in a state where the first elastic body and the second elastic body, which are disposed on both sides in the first direction of the deodorizing body, are elastically deformed. Therefore, the movement of the deodorizing body caused by vibration can be suppressed. Therefore, since the powder of the deodorizing body sometimes leaks to the outside from the opening when the deodorizing body vibrates, by suppressing the movement of the deodorizing body caused by vibration, the leakage of the powder of the deodorizing body to the outside can be suppressed. In addition, by providing the deodorizing unit with a handle, the deodorizing unit can be picked up and housed in the recording device without the hand coming into contact with the deodorizing unit.

[0121] According to this structure, the deodorizing unit includes a first non-woven fabric that contacts the first elastic body from one side in the first direction of the first elastic body. For example, when one side in the first direction is the upstream side in the ventilation direction, the intrusion of impurities introduced by ventilation into the deodorizing cartridge can be suppressed. In addition, when the other side in the first direction is the downstream side in the ventilation direction, the leakage of the powder of the deodorizing body from the opening to the outside can be suppressed.

[0124] According to this structure, the deodorizing unit includes a second non-woven fabric that contacts the second elastomer on the other side in the first direction of the first elastomer. For example, when one side in the first direction is the upstream side in the ventilation direction, it is possible to suppress the intrusion of impurities introduced by ventilation into the deodorizing cartridge. In addition, when the other side in the first direction is the downstream side in the ventilation direction, it is possible to suppress the leakage of the powder of the deodorizing body from the opening to the outside.

[0127] According to this structure, the deodorizing unit is housed in the housing in a state where the first elastomer and the second elastomer disposed on both sides in the first direction of the deodorizing body are elastically deformed. Therefore, the movement of the deodorizing body caused by vibration can be suppressed. Therefore, since the powder of the deodorizing body sometimes leaks from the opening to the outside when the deodorizing body vibrates, by suppressing the movement of the deodorizing body caused by vibration, the leakage of the powder of the deodorizing body to the outside can be suppressed. In addition, by providing the deodorizing unit with a handle, the deodorizing unit can be picked up and housed in the recording device without the hand touching the deodorizing unit.
