Description
- The present invention relates to an ink jet printer head, and more particularly to an ink jet printer head gap controlling apparatus capable of regulating the gap between a print head and a paper sheet so that a variety of paper sheets can be automatically processed therethrough irrespective of the thicknesses of the paper sheets.
- As shown in Figures 1 through 3, a conventional ink jet printer such as disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-135090 includes a cartridge carrier 1 having a
print head 4 at one end portion thereof and carried horizontally on acartridge carrier axle 2, on which carrier an ink cartridge is to be placed. Atransfer roller 5 is provided for forwardly transferring a paper sheet picked up by a pickup roller (not illustrated). Acradle 6 is inclined toward thetransfer roller 5 for adhering the guided paper sheet to thetransfer roller 5. Aprinting platen 7 is located opposite theprint head 4, on whichplaten 7 printing is to be performed on the paper sheet by the ink jetted from a nozzle (not illustrated) of theprint head 4. A combininghole 10 is formed in eachside plate 15 of a carrier frame 18, into each of which combining holes 10 abush 9 is inserted. Aneccentric bush 11 is rotatable in an eccentric bore within thebush 9. Aninsertion hole 12 is displaced a certain distance from the center of theeccentric bush 11, and an end portion of thecarrier axle 2 is insertingly fixed therein. A selectingarm 13 formed on the outer periphery of anextension 14 extended from theeccentric bush 11, for controlling the position of theprint head 4 in accordance with the thickness of each printing paper sheet. - The operation of the above-described conventional ink jet printer head gap controlling apparatus is detailed as follows. First, when the selecting
arm 13 is manually moved to shift theprint head 4 to a certain position which is regarded as appropriate for the thickness of a paper sheet, theeccentric bush 11 is accordingly rotated. At this moment, thecarrier axle 2 fixed in theeccentric bush 11 moves by a certain distance, and at the same time the cartridge carrier 1 carried on thecarrier axle 2 is also moved. As a result, theprint head 4 placed on the carrier 1 is maintained at a certain distance from the printing paper sheet. - When the printer starts operation, the pickup roller (not illustrated) picks up a top sheet from the papers stacked in a cassette (not illustrated), the picked-up paper sheet being guided thereby onto the
cradle 6, and the guided paper sheet is then transferred by thetransfer roller 5 through thecradle 6 to theplaten 7. - Then, after the paper sheet which is placed on the
platen 7 is printed on by the ink jetted from the nozzle (not illustrated) of theprint head 4, the printing-completed sheet is outwardly extracted therefrom by means of an extracting roller (not illustrated). - However, when another paper sheet having a thickness different from the former sheet is to be printed on, the selecting
arm 13 has to be manually adjusted again for the different paper thickness prior to next performing the above-described printing operation. - So, the conventional ink jet printer has several disadvantages in that printer users have been troubled because the conventional printer has to be adjusted manually according to the thickness of a paper sheet being selected, and additionally, the paper sheets used are confined to limited kinds thereof because the paper selecting arm has a narrow range of adjustment.
- Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an ink jet printer head gap controlling apparatus capable of regulating the gap between a print head and a paper sheet so that a variety of paper sheets irrespective of the thicknesses thereof can be automatically processed.
- To achieve the above-described object in accordance with the present invention, an ink jet printer head gap controlling apparatus includes a pickup roller for picking up paper sheets one by one from a plurality of paper sheets stacked in a cassette, a transfer roller for transferring the picked-up paper sheet forwardly along a periphery thereof, a first supporting member for guiding and elastically supporting the transferred paper sheet, a supporting roller formed on one side portion of a cartridge carrier so as to move horizontally along with the first supporting means and supporting the first supporting member, a second supporting means elastically supporting another side portion of the cartridge carrier to maintain a certain distance between a rotation axle of the supporting roller and the first supporting member and regulating a gap between a print head and the printing paper sheet transferred onto a guiding pad, and an extracting roller for outwardly extracting therefrom the paper sheet after being printed on by ink jetted from a nozzle of the print head.

- With reference to Figs.4 through 7, an ink jet printer head gap controlling apparatus in accordance with the present invention includes a
cassette 20 provided upwardly extending at a rear portion of acarrier frame 30 for having a plurality of paper sheets stacked therein. Apickup roller 40 is provided adjacent to a lower portion of thecassette 20 for picking up apaper sheet 22 one-by-one from paper sheets stacked in thecassette 20. Atransfer roller 50 is provided in a lower portion of thecarrier frame 30 for transferring thepaper sheet 22 picked up by thepickup roller 40 forwardly along the periphery thereof, and cooperates with a first supportingmember 60, a second supportingmember 90, and an extractingroller 100, which will be described hereunder. - The first supporting
member 60 is mounted at one end thereof on acoordinate axle 64 so that abody 62 for guiding thepaper sheet 22 can be minutely contacted to apaper sheet 22 which advances by thetransfer roller 50, and includes afriction roller 66 carried at one end portion of thebody 62 and rolled frictionally with thetransfer roller 50. A pressingmember 68 is extended upwardly from thefriction roller 66 for pressing the transferredpaper sheet 22 to thetransfer roller 50 by the rotation of thefriction roller 66. An elastic supportingmember 69 is placed between another end portion of thebody 62 and thecarrier frame 30 so that thebody 62 can be moved elastically as apaper sheet 22 is passed through between thetransfer roller 50 and each of thefriction roller 66 and thepressing member 68, and specifically the first supportingmember 60 guides and elastically supports thepaper sheet 22 as it is advanced by thetransfer roller 50. - The ink jet printer in accordance with the present invention also includes a supporting
roller 70 provided at one side portion of acarriage 80 to support thepressing member 68 of the first supportingmember 60 and moving horizontally along the first supportingmember 60, and a guidingplate 34 provided on an upper portion of apaper guide 36 and being parallel to aprint head 82. - The
carriage 80 mounts at a front portion thereof aprint head 82 having anozzle 84 for jetting ink onto apaper sheet 22 positioned opposite thereto. Thecarriage 80 is carried movably at a lower portion thereof on acarriage shaft 86 by s bearing or like means, along which thecarriage 80 may traverse, and about which thecarriage 80 may pivot forwardly and backwardly so as to vary the space between theprint head nozzle 84 and thepaper sheet 22. - As shown in Figs.8A and 8B, another embodiment of the second supporting
member 90 in accordance with the present invention includes anelastic rotation axle 98 provided at a lower portion of thecarrier frame 30, and aroller 92 fixed on theelastic rotation axle 98 and moving along a guidingshelf 32 of thecarrier frame 30. Meanwhile, when a force is transmitted on each side of theelastic rotation axle 98, an elasticity-originated reaction force occurs at a lower portion of theroller 92. - As a result, the first supporting
member 60 elastically supports another side portion of thecarriage 80 so that a certain distance can be obtained between arotation axle 72 of the supportingroller 70 and the first supportingmember 60, and regulates the gap between thepaper sheet 22 transferred onto the guidingplate 34 and theprint head 82. - Also, the extracting
roller 100 for extracting outwardly the paper sheet printed on the guidingplate 34 is provided at a portion slightly over thetransfer roller 50. - The ink jet printer head gap controlling apparatus operation and the effect thereof in accordance with the present invention will follow based upon the above-described composition.
- First, when a
top paper sheet 22 of the paper sheets stacked in thecassette 20 is picked up by thepickup roller 40, thetransfer roller 50 forwardly transfers thepaper sheet 22 along the periphery thereof. Thepaper sheet 22 is guided by thebody 62 of the first supportingmember 60 into a space between thetransfer roller 50 and thebody 62 of the first supportingmember 60. At this moment, thebody 62 rotates on thecoordinate axle 64 as much as the thickness of the advancingpaper sheet 22. Subsequently, the elastic supportingmember 69 which is provided beneath one end portion of the first supportingmember 60 generates a reaction force caused by elasticity. Then, thepaper sheet 22 is pressingly passed through the interspace between thetransfer roller 50 and thefriction roller 66 which is rolled frictionally with thetransfer roller 50. - The
paper sheet 22 pressed to the pressingmember 68 upwardly facing thefriction roller 66 is guided onto the guidingplate 34. The rotation force being generated when the supportingroller 70 moves upwardly on thecarriage shaft 86 as much as the thickness of thepaper sheet 22, presses each side of theplate spring 96 mounted at one side portion of thecarriage 80, and a reaction force caused by elasticity occurs at a lower portion of therotation axle 94, so that the supportingroller 70 supports thepressing member 68 of the first supportingmember 60. - When the
carriage 80 moves horizontally on thecarriage axle 86, the supportingroller 70 of the second supportingmember 90 moves on the guidingshelf 32, and theplate spring 96 transmits a reaction force caused by elasticity to the supportingroller 70 which subsequently supports the pressingmember 68. As a result, even when thecarriage 80 horizontally moves, a gap between the transferredpaper sheet 22 and theprint head 82 can be varied depending on the advancingpaper sheet 22. - Subsequently, the
nozzle 84 provided in theprint head 82 enables to perform the printing while maintaining a prescribed gap between theprint head 82 and the transferredpaper sheet 22, by jetting ink onto thepaper sheet 22 mounted on the guidingplate 34. Thereafter, the printing-completedpaper sheet 22 is outwardly extracted from the guidingplate 34 by the extractingroller 100. - As described above, the ink jet printer head gap controlling apparatus in accordance with the present invention enables to provide an enhanced convenience in using printers by removing the disadvantage in which the print head positions have to be controlled manually according to each thickness of paper sheets. Therefore, under the present invention, a variety of paper sheets can be used for printing regardless of the thicknesses thereof.
