[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a recording device. [Background technology]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2016-182716 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] For example, rewinding of a medium such as a fabric may be required to correct an initial misalignment in the roll state or to change the paper core of the roll. This process involves attaching the edge of the media to the unstable paper tube and then starting the rewinding process. However, when attaching the edge of the media to the paper tube, the user visually estimates the position. This makes it difficult to attach the media so that the axial direction of the paper tube is perpendicular to the edge of the media. If the edge of the media is attached at an angle, the media may meander while being wound around the paper tube, causing the edge of the media to become misaligned, i.e., prone to becoming uneven. Patent Document 1 does not contain any description that takes into consideration the above-mentioned risk when rewinding the medium onto the paper core. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] In order to solve the above problem, the recording device of the present invention comprises a payout section that pays out medium from a roll body, a medium transport device that transports the medium paid out from the payout section in a transport direction, a recording section that records on the medium transported by the medium transport device, and an exterior that houses the recording section and the medium transport device and has a flat top surface, wherein the top surface can be used to place a take-up shaft for winding up the medium, and the top surface is equipped with a positioning section that determines the placement position of the take-up shaft by placing the take-up shaft in contact with it, and is equipped with an orthogonal mark that indicates a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the take-up shaft positioned by the positioning section.

[0007] The present invention will now be briefly described. A recording device according to a first aspect of the present invention comprises a feed section that feeds out a medium from a roll body, a medium transport device that transports the medium fed from the feed section in a transport direction, a recording section that records on the medium transported by the medium transport device, and an exterior that houses the recording section and the medium transport device and has a flat top surface, wherein the top surface can be used to place a take-up shaft for winding up the medium, the top surface comprises a positioning section that determines the placement position of the take-up shaft by placing the take-up shaft in contact with the top surface, and an orthogonal mark that indicates a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the take-up shaft positioned by the positioning section. Here, the term "flat" in "exterior having a flat top surface" is used in this specification in a positive sense to mean that the surface is flat enough that the winding shaft can be placed on the top surface and the medium can be wound onto the winding shaft.

[0008] According to this aspect, the top surface forming the exterior of the recording device has a structure including the flat portion, and therefore a take-up shaft for taking up the medium can be placed on the top surface forming part of the exterior. This makes it possible to perform rewinding of the medium, such as correcting initial misalignment of the medium when it is in a rolled state or changing the take-up shaft of the roll. Furthermore, the top surface portion includes a positioning portion that determines the placement position of the winding spindle by placing the winding spindle in contact with the positioning portion when placing the winding spindle on the top surface portion. This allows the winding spindle to be easily placed in a position where the medium can be rewound by placing the winding spindle in contact with the positioning portion when placing the winding spindle on the top surface portion. Furthermore, because the winding spindle is placed on the top surface portion while in contact with the positioning portion, the position of the winding spindle is stable during the medium rewinding operation, making the rewinding operation easier. Furthermore, the recording device includes an orthogonal mark indicating a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the winding shaft positioned by the positioning unit. This allows the user to confirm the parallelism of the orthogonal mark and the side edge of the medium when attaching and securing the leading edge of the medium to the winding shaft positioned by the positioning unit, making it easier to secure the medium in an appropriate state. Furthermore, when rewinding the medium by rotating the winding shaft after securing, the user can rewind the medium while adjusting the side edge of the medium so that it is parallel to the orthogonal mark, thereby reducing the risk of the edge of the medium becoming uneven, i.e., uneven, after rewinding.

[0009] A recording device according to a second aspect of the present invention is an aspect dependent on the first aspect, and is characterized in that the orthogonal marks are provided on the top surface portion.

[0010] According to this aspect, the orthogonal mark is provided on the top surface portion, whereby when placing the winding spindle on the top surface portion, the user can position the winding spindle by bringing the winding spindle into contact with the positioning portion while checking the orthogonal mark.

[0011] A recording device according to a third aspect of the present invention is an aspect dependent on the first aspect, characterized in that the orthogonal mark is provided on a sheet-like member, and when the sheet-like member is placed in a loading position on the top surface portion, the orthogonal mark becomes perpendicular to the axial direction of the winding shaft positioned by the positioning portion.

[0012] According to this aspect, the orthogonal mark is not provided directly on the top surface portion but is provided on the sheet-like member. Furthermore, by placing the sheet-like member in the placement position on the top surface portion, the orthogonal mark becomes orthogonal to the axial direction of the winding shaft positioned by the positioning unit. This allows the orthogonal mark to be present on the top surface portion only when the winding operation is being performed and to be absent from the top surface portion at other times, thereby reducing the risk of the orthogonal mark being accidentally soiled.

[0013] A recording device according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is an aspect dependent on the third aspect, characterized in that the sheet-like member is a medium setting jig used when setting the leading end of the medium on the transport path, the medium setting jig has a structure in which a single sheet is folded in half to create a first side and a second side, the leading end of the medium is used in a state where it is sandwiched between the first side and the second side, and the orthogonal mark is provided on the first side or the second side.

[0014] According to this aspect, the sheet-like member is a medium setting jig used when setting the leading end of the medium in the transport path, and since the existing medium setting jig can also be used as the sheet-like member to which the orthogonal mark is attached, an increase in the number of parts can be suppressed.

[0015] A recording device according to a fifth aspect of the present invention is an aspect dependent on the first aspect, characterized in that the unwinding section includes a support shaft that supports the roll body so that it can be unwound, and the winding shaft positioned by the positioning section is parallel to the support shaft. This aspect can also be subordinate to any one of the second to fourth aspects.

[0016] According to this aspect, the winding shaft positioned on the top surface by the positioning unit is parallel to the support shaft that supports the roll so that it can be unwound. This makes it easier to change the winding shaft for the roll and to rewind the medium, since the orthogonal mark is perpendicular to both the axial direction of the winding shaft positioned by the positioning unit and the axial direction of the support shaft that supports the roll.

[0017] A recording apparatus according to a sixth aspect of the present invention is an aspect dependent on the first aspect, and is characterized in that the positioning portion is a plurality of protrusions arranged at a distance from each other. This aspect can also be subordinate to any one of the second to fifth aspects.

[0018] According to this aspect, the positioning portions are a plurality of protrusions spaced apart from one another, so that the positioning portions can be easily provided.

[0019] A recording device according to a seventh aspect of the present invention is an aspect dependent on the first aspect, and is characterized in that the positioning portion is a single rod. This aspect can also be subordinate to any one of the second to fifth aspects.

[0020] According to this aspect, the positioning portion is a single rod, and therefore is easy to handle, such as when installing it on the top surface portion.

[0021] A recording apparatus according to an eighth aspect of the present invention is an aspect dependent on the first aspect, and is characterized in that the positioning unit is detachable from the top surface unit. This aspect can also be subordinate to any one of the second to seventh aspects.

[0022] According to this aspect, the positioning unit is detachable from the top surface portion, so that it can be installed on the top surface portion only when rewinding the medium, and can be absent from the top surface portion at other times, thereby reducing the risk of accidental soiling.

[0023] A recording apparatus according to a ninth aspect of the present invention is an aspect dependent on the first aspect, and is characterized in that the positioning portion is provided integrally with the top surface portion. This aspect can also be subordinate to any one of the second to seventh aspects.

[0024] According to this aspect, since the positioning portion is provided integrally with the top surface portion, the medium can be rewound at any time.

[0025] [Embodiment] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a recording apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the following explanation, the three mutually orthogonal axes are referred to as the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis, as shown in each figure. The directions indicated by the arrows on the three axes (X, Y, Z) are the + direction of each axis, and the opposite is the - direction. The Z-axis direction corresponds to the vertical direction, i.e., the direction in which gravity acts, the +Z direction indicates a vertically upward direction, and the -Z direction indicates a vertically downward direction. The X-axis and Y-axis directions correspond to horizontal directions. The +Y direction indicates the front direction of the recording device, and the -Y direction indicates the rear direction of the device. The +X direction indicates the right direction of the device, and the -X direction indicates the left direction of the device.

[0026] <Overall overview of the recording device> As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the recording apparatus 1 of this embodiment is a so-called digital textile printing machine in which the recording target medium 2 is fabric. The medium 2 is transported in a transport direction F along a transport path 4 by a medium transport device 3. This recording apparatus 1 uses a transport method called a roll-to-reel transport method to apply appropriate tension to the medium 2, thereby raising the recording execution area of ​​a recording unit 51, which serves as a processing unit 5 arranged along the transport path 4. After recording by the recording unit 51, the medium 2 is heated and dried by a heating unit 6 arranged along the transport path 4 and then wound up by a winding unit 7. Here, the recording unit 51 is a serial type mounted on a carriage (not shown) that moves back and forth in the width direction (X-axis direction) intersecting the transport direction F. Note that the recording unit 51 is not limited to a serial type and may be a line head. In this specification, the term "fabric" is used to refer not only to woven fabrics made by crossing warp and weft threads, but also to knitted fabrics made by creating loops with a single thread and intertwining them with adjacent loops, and nonwoven fabrics made by intertwining or bonding fibers together.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, a roll R1 of medium 2 is rotatably supported on a support shaft 9, which is the feed shaft of a feed unit 8. The medium 2 fed from the roll R1 by the medium feed device 3 is transported by a pair of transport rollers 10 and an intermediate roller 11 that form a transport path 4 so as to pass through a recording area of ​​a recording unit 51. After recording by the recording unit 51, the medium 2 is further transported by the intermediate roller 11 and a guide bar 12 through a heating area of ​​a heating unit 6. After passing through the guide bar 12, the medium 2 is taken up onto the roll R2, which is supported on a take-up shaft 13 of a take-up unit 7. The take-up shaft 13 is driven to rotate by rotational power transmitted from a drive source (not shown), rotating the roll R2 in the take-up direction.

[0028] [Embodiment 1] A recording device 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to Figures 1 to 5. Although some of the description will be repeated, the recording device 1 of this embodiment includes a payout unit 8 that pays out a medium from a roll R1, a medium transport device 3 that transports the medium 2 paid out from the payout unit 8 in a transport direction F, a recording unit 51 that records on the medium 2 transported by the medium transport device 3, and a housing or exterior 15 that houses the recording unit 51 and the medium transport device 3 and has a flat top surface 14. The top surface 14 can accommodate a winding shaft 16 for winding the medium 2. In this example, the winding shaft 16 is a cylindrical paper tube made of paper. Note that the winding shaft 16 is not limited to a paper tube, and may be made of synthetic resin, metal, or the like. The top surface 14 also includes a positioning unit 17. The positioning unit 17 is configured to determine the placement position for rewinding the winding shaft 16 by contacting and placing the winding shaft 16 thereon. The top surface 14 also includes an orthogonal mark 18. The orthogonal mark 18 is formed by a straight line 19 indicating a direction L2 perpendicular to the axial direction L1 of the winding shaft 16 positioned by the positioning unit 17. The straight lines 19 constituting the orthogonal mark 18 are provided at multiple different positions taking into account the various widths of the medium 2. Here, the term "flat" in "exterior 15 having a flat top surface 14" is used in the present specification in a positive sense to mean that the surface is flat enough that the winding shaft 16 can be placed on the top surface 14 and the medium 2 can be wound onto the winding shaft 16.

[0029] 1, 3, and 4, in this embodiment, the positioning portion 17 is made up of a plurality of projections spaced apart from each other, in this case, two projections 171 and 172. It goes without saying that the positioning portion 17 is not limited to a two-projection configuration. In this embodiment, the protrusions 171, 172 are cubes of approximately the same size and are detachably attached to the top surface 14. The structure that makes the protrusions 171, 172 detachable is such that feet (not shown) located below the protrusions 171, 172 are inserted into insertion holes (not shown) that are provided in the top surface 14. Note that the protrusions 171, 172 are not limited to the cubes, and for example, the portions that come into contact with the winding shaft 16 may be formed with a convex curved surface. The structure for making the protrusions 171, 172 detachable from the top surface 14 is not limited to the insertion structure. For example, the protrusions 171, 172 may be attached to the top surface using the magnetic force of a magnet, or may be attached to the top surface by snap fitting.

[0030] The protrusion length of the protrusions 171, 172 from the top surface 14, i.e., the height position of the portion that comes into contact with the winding shaft 16, is preferably set to be in the range of approximately 25% to 50% of the diameter of the outer periphery of the winding shaft 16. For example, if the diameter of the winding shaft 16 is 82 mm, the height of the protrusions 171, 172 is preferably set to 20 mm or more, which is approximately 25%. This prevents the winding shaft 16 from becoming unstable during the winding operation. Furthermore, by setting the upper limit to 50%, most of the winding shaft 16 is open to the user's access, making the winding operation easier. 5, in this embodiment, the recording device 1 has a storage unit 20 that stores the protrusions 171, 172 removed from the top surface 14. When using the protrusions 171, 172, the cover 21 of the storage unit 20 is opened to remove the protrusions 171, 172 and then the protrusions 171, 172 are attached to the insertion holes of the top surface 14.

[0031] As described above, the unwinding unit 8 is equipped with support shafts 9, 9 that support the roll R1 so that it can be unwound. That is, both ends of the roll R1 in the longitudinal direction are supported by the support units 9, 9. The support units 9, 9 are rotated by power transmitted from a power source (not shown), and this rotation causes the roll R1 to rotate about its axis, unwinding the medium 2. The support units 9, 9 are also configured so that the transmission of power can be interrupted, and in the interrupted state, the support units 9 can be rotated manually. 3 and 4, in this embodiment, the winding shaft 16, when positioned by the positioning portion 17, is configured to be parallel to the support shafts 9 and 9. In other words, the protrusions 171 and 172 that form the positioning portion 17 are arranged so that the axial direction L1 of the winding shaft 16 and the axial direction L3 of the support shafts 9 and 9 are parallel.

[0032] <Explanation 1 of Rewinding Work in Embodiment 1> The rewinding operation of the medium 2 will be described with reference to Figure 7. Figure 7 shows the case where the medium 2 of the roll body R1 supported by the support parts 9, 9 of the payout part 8 is rewound onto a new winding shaft 16. (1) First, the user places the winding shaft 16 on the top surface 14 in a state where it is in contact with the positioning portion 17. (2) The leading end 30 of the medium 2 wound around the roll R1 is pulled out and passed under the take-up shaft 16 to form the state shown in Figure 7. Note that the order of (1) and (2) may be reversed. (3) In the state shown in Figure 7, fix the leading end 30 of the medium 2 to the outer circumferential surface of the winding shaft 16 with tape or the like to achieve the state shown in Figure 4. At this time, adjust the position of the medium 2 so that the side 31 of the medium 2 is aligned with the orthogonal mark 18, and fix it with tape or the like. (4) After achieving the state shown in Figure 4, the user rotates the winding shaft 16 in the winding direction to perform the winding operation. At this time, the winding shaft 16 maintains contact with the positioning portion 17, and the side edge 31 of the medium 2 is kept aligned with the straight line 19 of the orthogonal mark 18 while winding the medium. Since the axial direction L1 of the winding shaft 16 and the axial direction L3 of the support shafts 9, 9 are parallel, the side edge 31 of the medium 2 is less likely to deviate from the state along the straight line 19 of the orthogonal mark 18, making the winding operation easier. (5) When all of the medium 2 on the roll R1 has been wound onto the new winding shaft 16, the winding operation is completed.

[0033] <Explanation 2 of Rewinding Work in Embodiment 1> The rewinding operation of the medium 2 will be described with reference to Fig. 8. Fig. 8 shows the case where the medium 2 that is not wound on the roll body R1 is rewound onto a new take-up shaft 16. (1) First, the user places the winding shaft 16 on the top surface 14 in a state where it is in contact with the positioning portion 17. (2) As shown in Figure 8, the medium 2 to be wound is placed on the top surface 14 and the feeding section 8. Then, the leading edge 30 of the medium 2 is passed under the winding shaft 16 to reach the state shown in Figure 8. Note that the order of (1) and (2) may be reversed. (3) In the state shown in Figure 8, fix the leading end 30 of the medium 2 to the outer circumferential surface of the winding shaft 16 with tape or the like to achieve the state shown in Figure 4. At this time, adjust the position of the medium 2 so that the side 31 of the medium 2 is aligned with the orthogonal mark 18, and fix it with tape or the like. (4) After achieving the state shown in Figure 4, the user rotates the winding shaft 16 in the winding direction to perform the winding operation. At this time, the winding shaft 16 maintains contact with the positioning portion 17, and the side edge 31 of the medium 2 is kept aligned with the straight line 19 of the orthogonal mark 18 while winding the medium. (5) When all of the medium 2 has been wound onto the new winding shaft 16, the winding operation is completed.

[0034] <Explanation of Effects of First Embodiment> (1) In this embodiment, the top surface 14 forming the exterior 15 of the recording device 1 has a structure with a flat portion, so that it is possible to place the take-up shaft 16 for taking up the medium 2. This makes it possible to use the top surface 14 forming part of the exterior 15 to perform rewinding operations on the medium 2, such as correcting initial misalignment of the medium 2 when it is in a rolled state or changing the take-up shaft 16 for the roll. Furthermore, top surface 14 is provided with positioning portion 17, which determines the placement position of winding shaft 16 by contacting and placing winding shaft 16 on top surface 14. As a result, by placing winding shaft 16 so that it is in contact with positioning portion 17 when placing it on top surface 14, it can be easily placed in a position where the medium 2 will be rewound. Furthermore, because winding shaft 16 is placed on top surface 14 while in contact with positioning portion 17, the position of winding shaft 16 is stable during the medium 2 rewinding operation, making the rewinding operation easier. Furthermore, the recording device 1 is provided with an orthogonal mark 18 that indicates the direction orthogonal to the axial direction L1 of the winding shaft 16 positioned by the positioning unit 17. This makes it possible to confirm the parallel state of the orthogonal mark 18 and the side edge 31 of the medium 2 when attaching and fixing the leading edge 30 of the medium 2 to the winding shaft 16 positioned by the positioning unit 17, making it easier to fix the medium in an appropriate state. Furthermore, when rotating the fixed winding shaft 16 to rewind the medium 2, it is possible to perform winding while adjusting the side edge 31 of the medium 2 so that it is parallel to the orthogonal mark 18, thereby reducing the risk of the edge of the medium 2 becoming uneven, i.e., uneven, after rewinding.

[0035] (2) In this embodiment, the orthogonal mark 18 is provided on the top surface 14. This allows the user, when placing the winding shaft 16 on the top surface 14, to position the winding shaft 16 by bringing it into contact with the positioning portion 17 while checking the orthogonal mark 18. (3) In this embodiment, the winding shaft 16 positioned by the positioning unit 17 on the top surface 14 is parallel to the support shafts 9, 9 that support the roll R1 so that it can be unwound. As a result, the direction L2 of the orthogonal mark 18 is perpendicular to both the axial direction L1 of the winding shaft 16 positioned by the positioning unit 17 and the axial direction L3 of the support shafts 9, 9 that support the roll R1. This makes it easier to change the winding shaft of the roll R1 or to rewind the medium 2.

[0036] (4) In addition, in this embodiment, the positioning portion 17 is a plurality of protrusions 171, 172 that are spaced apart from each other, so that the positioning portion 17 can be easily provided. (5) In addition, in this embodiment, the positioning unit 17 is detachable from the top surface 14. Therefore, it can be installed on the top surface 14 only when rewinding the medium 2, and can be absent from the top surface 14 at other times, thereby reducing the risk of accidental soiling.

[0037] [Modification 1 of Embodiment 1] In the above description of the first embodiment, the positioning portion 17 is configured by a plurality of spaced apart protrusions 171, 172. However, the positioning portion 17 is not limited to the structure including the protrusions 171, 172. For example, as shown in Fig. 6, positioning portion 17 may be formed of a single rod. Positioning portion 17 made of this rod has a long rectangular parallelepiped shape and is formed with a uniform thickness in the longitudinal direction. Positioning portion 17 has foot portions (not shown) similar to protrusions 171 and 172, and employs a structure in which the foot portions are inserted into the insertion holes. According to this modification, the positioning portion 17 is a single rod, and therefore is easy to handle when installing it on the top surface portion 14, for example.

[0038] [Modification 2 of Embodiment 1] Furthermore, in the above description of the first embodiment, the positioning portion 17 is described as being detachable from the top surface portion 14, but the positioning portion 17 may be structured to be integral with the top surface portion 14. In this structure, it is desirable that the positioning portion 17 be switchable between a protruding state in which it protrudes from the top surface portion 14 and a recessed state in which it does not protrude from the top surface portion 14. According to this modification, the positioning unit 17 is provided integrally with the top surface unit 14, so that the medium 2 can be rewound at any time.

[0039] [Embodiment 2] Next, a recording apparatus 1 according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 9. The same parts as those in the first embodiment will be given the same reference numerals, and a description of the configurations and corresponding effects will be omitted. 9, in this embodiment, the orthogonal mark 18 is provided on the sheet-like member 23. The sheet-like member 23 is configured so that, when placed at a placement position 24 on the top surface 14, the orthogonal mark 18 becomes orthogonal to the axial direction of the winding shaft 16 positioned by the positioning unit 17. A mark or the like (not shown) is provided on the top surface 14 at the placement position 24 to make it easier for the user to place the sheet-like member 23 at that position. Furthermore, the sheet-like member 23 placed at the placement position 24 is fixed by a position fixing member (not shown) to prevent it from accidentally shifting position. Here, a detachable positioning unit 17 is used as the position fixing member. That is, the position fixing member is configured to press and fix the sheet-like member 23 when the positioning unit 17 is attached to the top surface. The position fixing member is not limited to a structure using the positioning unit 17, and may be any member that can fix the sheet-like member so as to prevent it from accidentally shifting position. For example, the sheet-like member 23 may be fixed at the placement position 24 by a magnet, an insertion pin, or the like.

[0040] In this embodiment, the sheet-like member 23 utilizes a medium setting jig 25 that is used when pulling out the leading end portion including the leading end 30 of the medium 2 from the roll R1 and setting it on the conveyance path 4. 9, medium setting jig 25 has a structure in which a single sheet is folded in half to create first side 26 and second side 27. Medium setting jig 25 is used in a state in which the leading end portion, including leading end 30, of medium 2 is sandwiched between first side 26 and second side 27. When the rigidity of the medium 2 is low, it may not be easy to set the leading end of the medium 2 through the transport path 4 from the rear (-Y side) of the recording unit 51 to the front (+Y side) in FIG. 2. The medium setting jig 25 compensates for the low rigidity when setting such a medium 2 on the transport path 4, making it easier to set. That is, as shown in the partially enlarged view in FIG. 9, by sandwiching the leading end of the medium 2 between the first surface 26 and the second surface 27, the low rigidity is compensated for, making it easier to set the leading end of the medium 2 through the transport path 2. In this embodiment, the orthogonal mark 18 is provided on the first surface 26. The orthogonal mark 18 may also be provided on the second surface 27.

[0041] In this embodiment, the orthogonal mark 18 is not provided directly on the top surface 14 but is provided on the sheet-like member 23. Furthermore, by placing the sheet-like member 23 at the placement position 24 on the top surface 14, the orthogonal mark 18 becomes orthogonal to the axial direction L1 of the winding shaft 16 positioned by the positioning unit 17. As a result, the orthogonal mark 18 is placed on the top surface 14 only when the winding operation is performed, and the orthogonal mark 18 is not placed on the top surface 14 at other times, thereby reducing the risk of the orthogonal mark 18 being accidentally soiled.

[0042] In this embodiment, the sheet-like member 23 is a medium setting jig 25 used when setting the leading end of the medium 2 in the transport path 4. This allows the existing medium setting jig 25 to be used as the sheet-like member 23 on which the orthogonal marks 18 are attached, thereby preventing an increase in the number of parts.
