[0007] 1. First embodiment First, there will be described the configuration of the recording device 11. The recording device 11 is, for example, a printer that performs recording (printing) by ejecting ink, which is an example of liquid, onto a medium S such as paper. In each drawing, the direction along the X axis is the width direction of the recording device 11, the direction along the Y axis is the depth direction of the recording device 11, and the direction along the Z axis is the height direction of the recording device 11. In this embodiment, the +Y direction side of the recording device 11 is the front side, and the -Y direction side is the rear side. 1 and 2, the recording device 11 includes a housing 12. The housing 12 is a box-shaped exterior. The front side of the recording device 11 includes a receiving section 50 that receives the recorded medium S and a storage section 19 that stores cutting chips of the medium S. 1 shows a stored state in which the receiving portion 50 is retracted to the housing portion 12 side, and FIG. 2 shows a receiving state in which the receiving portion 50 advances from the housing portion 12 in the +Y direction. As shown in FIG. 1, when the receiving section 50 is in the housed state, the receiving section 50 covers the storage section 19 and constitutes a part of the exterior of the recording device 11.

[0008] 3, an opening 13 is formed on the front side of a housing 12 of a recording device 11. A medium holding unit 16 is housed in the housing 12 through the opening 13 in a state in which it can be pulled out.

[0009] The medium holding section 16 includes a front panel section 22 that forms part of the exterior of the recording device 11 when housed in the housing section 12, and a support wall 23 that rotatably supports a roll body R in which a long medium S is wound into a cylindrical shape. By pulling out the medium holding portion 16 through the opening 13, the roll body R can be replaced or replenished. The storage section 19 of this embodiment is detachably attached to the opening 13 of the housing section 12 .

[0010] As shown in FIG. 4, in addition to the medium holding unit 16, the housing unit 12 accommodates a recording unit 31, a transport unit 35, a cutting unit 34, a discharge unit 20, and the like. Specifically, a recording unit 31 that performs recording on the medium S unwound from the roll R is accommodated above the space that accommodates the medium holding unit 16. The recording unit 31 includes a liquid ejection head 32 that is capable of ejecting ink, which is an example of a recording material.

[0011] The medium S has a first surface S1, which is the surface onto which the ink is ejected, and a second surface S2, which is the reverse surface. The medium S is held by the medium holding unit 16 in the form of a roll R in which the second surface S2 forms the inner circumferential surface.

[0012] The recording device 11 includes a transport unit 35 that transports the medium S along a transport direction from the medium holding unit 16 toward the discharge outlet 21 provided on the front surface of the housing unit 12. The transport unit 35 includes a plurality of transport roller pairs arranged along the transport direction. The transport direction of the medium S in this embodiment is a direction from the medium holding unit 16 toward the upper side (+Z direction) and then toward the front side (+Y direction).

[0013] Downstream of the recording unit 31 in the transport direction of the medium S, a heating unit 33 that heats the medium S to dry the ink attached to the medium S is disposed. A cutting unit 34 that cuts the medium S is disposed downstream of the heating unit 33. The cutting unit 34 cuts the recorded portion of the long medium S into unit lengths. As a result, the medium S becomes single sheets.

[0014] A storage section 19 that stores cutting scraps of the medium S is disposed below the cutting section 34. The storage section 19 is a container having an inlet 19a that opens upward. The cutting section 34 of this embodiment cuts off the margin between the rear end of the previously cut single sheet of medium S and the front end of the medium S to be cut next. The cut-off cutting scraps (marginal portion) of the medium S drop downward and are stored in the storage section 19 via the inlet 19a. In addition, by removing the storage section 19 from the housing section 12 as shown in FIG. 3, it is possible to discard the cutting scraps stored in the storage section 19.

[0015] Downstream in the transport direction of the cutting unit 34 is provided a discharge unit 20 that discharges single sheets of medium S cut by the cutting unit 34. The discharge unit 20 has a discharge outlet 21, and the medium S is discharged from the discharge outlet 21. The discharge outlet 21 is on the front surface (the surface on the +Y direction side) of the housing unit 12, and is located above the opening 13 and the storage unit 19.

[0016] 2, a receiving section 50 that receives the discharged medium S is disposed downstream of the discharge port 21 in the transport direction. The receiving section 50 is plate-shaped and has a receiving surface 50a that receives the discharged medium S. The medium S is received in the receiving section 50 such that a second surface S2, which is the surface opposite to the first surface S1 on which recording is performed, faces the receiving surface 50a.

[0017] Next, the detailed configuration of the storage portion 19 and the receiving portion 50 will be described. 5, 6, and 7, in the recording device 11 of this embodiment, the storage unit 19 and the receiving unit 50 are integrated together. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the integrated storage unit 19 and receiving unit 50 are configured to be removable from the housing unit 12. Fig. 5 shows the storage state of the receiving portion 50, and Figs. 6 and 7 show the receiving state of the receiving portion 50. The receiving portion 50 and the storage portion 19 can be displaced by a rotating portion 60 between the storage state and the receiving state.

[0018] 8 and 9, one end of the receiving portion 50 on the discharge portion side (discharge portion 20 side) has a rotating portion 60 that allows the receiving portion 50 to rotate with respect to the storage portion 19. The rotating portion 60 in this embodiment is composed of a shaft portion 61 and a space portion 70. In this embodiment, the shaft portion 61 is provided in the storage portion 19 , and the space portion 70 is provided in the receiving portion 50 . As shown in Fig. 8, the shaft portion 61 is disposed at the +Y direction end of the storage portion 19, and at the +Z axis direction end. More specifically, a plate-shaped protruding portion 64 that protrudes in the +Z direction is formed at the +Y direction end of the storage portion 19, and the shaft portion 61 is formed at the tip of the protruding portion 64. The shaft portions 61 are disposed near both ends of the storage portion 19 in the direction along the X axis. Each shaft portion 61 is formed along the X axis.

[0019] 7, the receiving portion 50 is configured as a frame body with a first plate portion 51 and a second plate portion 52. The first plate portion 51 and the second plate portion 52 are approximately the same size. The second plate portion 52 is disposed opposite to the surface of the first plate portion 51 opposite the receiving surface 50a. As shown in Fig. 9, a recess 71 is formed on the surface opposite to the receiving surface 50a of the first plate portion 51 at a position corresponding to the shaft portion 61. The recess 71 has a rectangular shape in a plan view and is formed to be larger than the shaft diameter of the shaft portion 61. Specifically, in Fig. 9, the recess 71 is formed to be larger than the shaft portion 61 in the direction along the Y axis, the direction along the X axis, and the direction along the Z axis.

[0020] Then, by combining the first plate portion 51 and the second plate portion 52 with the shaft portion 61 disposed in the recess 71 of the first plate portion 51, a space portion 70 is formed in the portion where the recess 71 is provided. The shaft portion 61 is then disposed in the space portion 70. The first plate portion 51 and the second plate portion 52 are combined so that the shaft portion 61 disposed in the space portion 70 does not come out of the space portion 70. This causes the accommodation portion 19 and the receiving portion 50 to be integrated.

[0021] 7 and 9, a clearance groove 52a is provided at a position of the second plate portion 52 corresponding to the protruding portion 64 to avoid interference with the protruding portion 64. This allows the receiving portion 50 having the space portion 70 and the storage portion 19 having the shaft portion 61 to rotate relatively. Furthermore, since the space portion 70 is larger than the axis portion 61, when the receiving portion 50 is in the stored state, the receiving portion 50 can move in the Z-axis direction relative to the storage portion 19, and when the receiving portion 50 is in the receiving state, the receiving portion 50 can move in approximately the Y-axis direction relative to the storage portion 19.

[0022] 9, an opposing surface 71a of the recess 71 formed in one direction intersecting with the extending direction (direction along the X-axis) of the shaft portion 61 comes into contact with the shaft portion 61 when the receiving portion 50 is in the stored state. This restricts the movement of the receiving portion 50 in the -Z direction relative to the housing portion 19 when the receiving portion 50 is in the stored state. That is, the position of the receiving portion 50 relative to the housing portion 19 is maintained in the stored state. Therefore, when the recording device 11 is not in use, by putting the receiving portion 50 in the stored state, it is possible to suppress the receiving portion 50 from protruding in the +Y direction from the housing portion 12, and the recording device 11 can be made more compact.

[0023] 7, a recess 66 is provided on the surface of the housing 19 on the +Y direction side, i.e., the surface facing the receiving unit 50. Meanwhile, a protrusion 76 that can fit into the recess 66 of the housing 19 is provided on the surface of the second plate 52 of the receiving unit 50 that faces the housing 19. Then, when the receiving unit 50 is in the stored state, the protrusion 76 fits into the recess 66. This suppresses flapping of the receiving unit 50 relative to the housing 12 when the recording device 11 is moved with the receiving unit 50 in the stored state.

[0024] 2 and 6, when the receiving unit 50 is in the receiving state, the +Y direction end (the other end) of the receiving unit 50 is located at a position higher than the position of the discharge outlet 21 of the discharge unit 20. In this embodiment, the receiving surface 50a of the receiving unit 50 is inclined upward in the +Y direction from the discharge outlet 21 side. This allows the medium S discharged from the discharge unit 20 to be reliably received. 6 and 8, support surfaces 62 are provided on both ends of the storage section 19 in the direction along the X-axis to support the receiving section 50 when the receiving section 50 is in the receiving state. The support surfaces 62 are inclined surfaces that incline upward from the -Y direction toward the +Y direction when viewed in the +X direction. The support surfaces 62 in this embodiment are inclined upward by about 20° with respect to the horizontal direction. 9, grooves 72 are formed on both ends of the surface of the receiving portion 50 opposite the receiving surface 50a in the direction along the X-axis at positions corresponding to the support surface 62 in the receiving state. The grooves 72 are provided with a contact surface 72a that can come into contact with the support surface 62.

[0025] 8, a protrusion 65 having a contact surface 65a that contacts the receiving surface 50a in the received state is provided on the upper end of the storage portion 19. The contact surface 65a extends in the direction along the X-axis.

[0026] Next, a method for changing the receiving portion 50 from the stored state to the receiving state will be described. First, in the stored state, the lower end of the receiving portion 50 is pulled out in the +Y direction relative to the storage portion 19 (housing portion 12). As a result, the convex portion 76 of the receiving portion 50 is disengaged from the concave portion 66 of the storage portion 19, and the receiving portion 50 becomes rotatable around the shaft portion 61 of the storage portion 19 as a fulcrum. Next, the receiving portion 50 is further rotated upward relative to the storage portion 19. Then, when the abutment surface 72a of the receiving portion 50 and the support surface 62 of the storage portion 19 abut against each other, the rotational movement of the receiving portion 50 relative to the storage portion 19 is restricted. With the abutment surface 72a and the support surface 62 abutting against each other, the receiving portion 50 is pushed toward the discharge port 21 (-Y direction). The space portion 70 allows the receiving portion 50 to move in the -Y direction relative to the storage portion 19. By moving the receiving portion 50 in the -Y direction, a part of the receiving surface 50a on the discharge port 21 side abuts against the abutment surface 65a. As a result, the receiving portion 50 is gripped by the contact surface 65a and the support surface 62, and the receiving surface 50a of the receiving portion 50 is held in a receiving state inclined upward in the +Y direction from the discharge outlet 21 side. In this embodiment, the angle of the receiving surface 50a with respect to the horizontal plane is about 20°.

[0027] Next, a method for changing the receiving state of the receiving portion 50 to the stored state will be described. First, in the received state, the receiving portion 50 is pulled out in the +Y direction relative to the storage portion 19 (housing portion 12). As a result, the receiving portion 50 is released from the abutment surface 65a and the support surface 62, and the receiving portion 50 becomes rotatable around the shaft portion 61 of the storage portion 19 as a fulcrum. Next, the receiving portion 50 is further rotated downward relative to the storage portion 19. When the receiving portion 50 is rotated downward, the shaft portion 61 abuts against the opposing surface 71a, and the receiving portion 50 is supported by the storage portion 19. Then, with the lower end of the receiving portion 50 facing downward, the lower end of the receiving portion 50 is pushed in the -Y direction relative to the storage portion 19 (housing portion 12). As a result, the convex portion 76 of the receiving portion 50 fits into the concave portion 66 of the storage portion 19, and the storage state is maintained.

[0028] Next, the extension 80 of the receiving portion 50 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 10, the receiving section 50 has an extension section 80 that can extend the receiving surface 50a in the transport direction (the direction in which the medium S is transported from the discharge outlet 21 toward approximately the +Y direction). The extension 80 of the present embodiment has a plate shape and is smaller than the first plate 51 and the second plate 52. The extension 80 is stored between the first plate 51 and the second plate 52 so as to be able to be pulled out in a direction along the ejection direction (the +Y direction in FIG. 10). As shown in FIG. 7, a cutout 78 is formed in the second plate 52, and a part of the extension 80 is exposed by the cutout 78 in the receiving state. This allows the extension 80 to be easily pulled out by hooking a finger on the exposed part of the extension 80. The extension 80 has a stopper, and holds the extension 80 at a predetermined pulled-out amount. By having the extension 80, the receiving surface 50a (including the receiving surface 50b) capable of receiving the medium S in the receiving section 50 can be extended. This allows a longer medium S to be received. The extension 80 may be configured according to the length of the medium S discharged from the discharge port 21. For example, the length of the extension 80 in the transport direction may be increased. The drawer structure may be configured with three or more stages. Furthermore, the extension 80 may not be a drawer structure, but may be a folding structure.

[0029] Next, the restricting portion 90 of the receiving portion 50 will be described. As shown in Figures 2 and 10, the receiving section 50 is provided with a regulating section 90 at the downstream end in the transport direction of the receiving section 50 (the direction in which the medium S is transported from the discharge outlet 21 toward approximately the +Y direction) that regulates the movement of the received medium S in the transport direction. The restricting portion 90 rotates to switch between a restricting state (FIG. 2) in which it protrudes upward from the receiving surface 50a (50b) and a retracted state (FIG. 10) in which it is flush with the receiving surface 50a (50b). In addition, the restricting portion 90 in this embodiment is provided at the downstream end of the extension portion 80.

[0030] 2 and 10, the restricting portion 90 has a plate shape. The restricting portion 90 is smaller than the extension portion 80. A recess 85 is provided in a part of the receiving surface 50b of the extension portion 80, and the restricting portion 90 can be stored in the recess 85. The thickness dimension of the restricting portion 90 is equal to the depth dimension of the recess 85. Therefore, when in the retracted state, the receiving surface 50b and the restricting portion 90 form a continuous flat surface. The downstream end of the restricting portion 90 is provided with a shaft portion rotatable relative to the extension portion 80, and a stopper that restricts the rotated position of the restricting portion 90 to a predetermined position. When the restricting portion 90 is moved from the retracted state to the restricted state, a finger is inserted into the notch 85a provided in the recess 85 to rotate the restricting portion 90 around the shaft. The rotating restricting portion 90 is held at a predetermined position by a stopper. In this restricted state, the angle between the receiving surface 50b and the restricting portion 90 is 100° to 130°. In addition, the restricting portion 90 of this embodiment is housed, together with the extension portion 80, between the first plate portion 51 and the second plate portion 52.

[0031] The restricting portion 90 can prevent the medium S from falling out of the receiving portion 50. Furthermore, when the receiving portion 50 is in the stored state, there is no protrusion in the +Y direction from the housing portion 12, making it possible to achieve a compact size. Furthermore, in this embodiment, a curled medium S may be discharged from the discharge port 21. In this case, the discharged medium S is received in a state where it is curled convexly upward relative to the receiving surfaces 50a, 50b. When the next medium S is discharged in this state, the downstream end of the medium S comes into contact with the previously received medium S, and the previously received medium S is pushed downstream. However, the downstream end of the previously received medium S comes into contact with the regulating portion 90, and the movement of the medium S toward the downstream side is regulated. Then, the next discharged medium S is supported on the upper surface of the previously discharged medium S. In other words, the medium S is received in the receiving portion 50 in the order in which the medium S was discharged.

[0032] Here, the front surface 19b on the transport direction side (+Y direction side) of the storage unit 19 and the receiving unit 50 are formed of a light-transmitting material. For example, the storage unit 19 and the receiving unit 50 are formed of a transparent plastic material. This makes it possible to see the inside of the storage section 19 whether the storage section 50 is in the stored state (Figure 1) or the receiving section 50 is in the receiving state (Figure 2), making it easy to check the storage status of the cutting chips stored in the storage section 19. Alternatively, the front surface 19b of the storage section 19 on the conveying direction side may be formed of a light-transmitting material, and an opening may be provided in the receiving section 50. For example, a through hole such as a slit may be provided in the center of the receiving section 50. Even in this case, the same effect as above can be obtained.

[0033] As described above, according to this embodiment, the storage unit 19 and the receiving unit 50 are configured as an integral unit. Therefore, compared to a configuration in which the storage unit 19 and the receiving unit 50 are separate, no storage space for the receiving unit 50 is required. In addition, it is possible to prevent the receiving unit 50 from being lost. Furthermore, when discarding the cutting chips stored in the storage unit 19, for example, in a configuration in which the storage unit 19 and the receiving unit 50 are separate, it is necessary to first remove the receiving unit 50 from the housing unit 12, and then remove the storage unit 19 from the housing unit 12. However, according to this embodiment, since the storage unit 19 and the receiving unit 50 can be removed from the housing unit 12 at once (FIG. 3), the cutting chips can be easily discarded, and operability can be improved.

[0034] 2. Second embodiment Next, a second embodiment will be described. The same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the duplicated description will be omitted. In the first embodiment, the receiving portion 50 is configured to be inclined upward in the receiving state, but is not limited thereto. 11, when the receiving unit 50 is in the receiving state, the +Y direction end (the other end) of the receiving unit 50 is located at a position lower than the position of the discharge outlet 21 of the discharge unit 20. In this embodiment, the receiving surface 50a of the receiving unit 50 is inclined downward in the +Y direction from the discharge outlet 21 side. In this case, in order to maintain the position of the receiving unit 50 in the receiving state, the angle of the support surface 62 of the storage unit 19 that contacts the receiving unit 50 and the angle of the abutment surface 65a of the protrusion 65 may be changed. Even in this manner, the medium S discharged from the discharge port 21 can be received.

[0035] 3. Third embodiment Next, a third embodiment will be described. The same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and duplicated explanations will be omitted. 12, in the storage unit 190 of the recording device 11A of this embodiment, a front surface 190b on the transport direction side (+Y direction side) of the storage unit 190 is formed as an inclined surface that protrudes forward (in the +Y direction) from above to below. The inclined surface becomes the receiving surface 190b that receives the medium S. The storage unit 190 is a quadrangular pyramid-shaped container with an inlet 190a at the top. The receiving surface 190b is inclined in the +Y direction from the outlet 21 side to the lower end. That is, the storage unit 190 and the receiving unit are integrally formed. According to this embodiment, in addition to the above-mentioned effects, the volume of the storage section 190 capable of storing cutting chips can be increased. [Explanation of symbols]
