[0029]
The paper discharge stacker 30 has a shape that protrudes from the front surface of the printer 100 (see FIG. 1), and is configured to be removable as necessary. As with the paper feed tray 31, the paper discharge stacker 30 is mounted by inserting it from the front side of the printer 100 (left side in FIG. 2) to the back part of the printer 100 (right side in FIG. 2). 2, the left side (the front side of the apparatus unit 400) of the paper discharge stacker 30 is omitted from the chain line A in FIG. 2, but the omitted portion is shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. It will be explained in. The chain line A in FIG. 2 and the chain line A in FIGS. 3 and 5 are chain lines that cut the paper discharge stacker 30 at the same position. The above is the configuration of the printer 100.
[0030]
Next, the detailed configuration of the paper discharge stacker 30 and the self-positioning means of the discharge port 30a of the paper discharge stacker 30 and the opening 201 of the door 200 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 is a partial side view of the paper discharge stacker 30, and FIG. 4 is a plan view of the same. FIG. 5 is a partial side view showing the operation of the paper discharge stacker 30, and FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the paper discharge stacker 30 and the door part 200 (upper part).
[0031]
First, in FIG. 2, the paper discharge stacker 30 has rotating shafts 36 at both end portions (see FIG. 4), and is fitted to a bearing portion (not shown) formed on the printer 100 main body side. The leading end side (left side in FIG. 2) of the paper P in the paper discharge direction pivots (swings) up and down with the moving shaft 36 as a pivot point. On the other hand, in FIG. 2, a groove portion 32 is formed at both end portions (see FIG. 4) slightly on the left side from the rotation shaft 36, and the lower end portion 33 a of the stopper pin 33 is fitted in the groove portion 32. . The stopper pin 33 is attached to a stopper frame 34 provided on the main body side of the printer 100 via an urging spring 35. The biasing spring 35 applies a biasing force to the stopper pin 33 so that the tip 33a of the stopper pin 33 always biases the paper discharge stacker 30 downward, whereby the paper discharge stacker 30 always biases downward. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of rattling due to vibration or the like.
[0032]
Next, in FIG. 3, a discharge stacker receiving portion 40 extending from the lower case (not shown) constituting the lower body of the printer 100 to the front side of the printer 100 is positioned below the discharge stacker 30. In addition, the sheet discharge stacker 30 is supported by the sheet discharge stacker receiving portion 40. More specifically, a stopper portion 41 having a shape protruding downward is formed at both lower ends of the discharge stacker 30 (see also FIG. 4), and the discharge portion stacker receiving portion 40 receives the stopper portion 41. A stopper receiving portion 42 is formed. In a state where the paper discharge stacker 30 is not guided to the positioning position by the guide block 204 described in detail later, that is, in a state where the front end portion in the discharge direction of the paper discharge stacker 30 and the guide block 204 are separated from each other, the stopper portion 41 is Abutting against the stopper receiving portion 42, the paper discharge stacker 30 is supported (state shown in FIG. 5).
[0033]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 to 6, the paper discharge stacker 30 is roughly constituted by a paper receiver 37 that receives the paper P and an upper cover 38. The upper cover 38 is attached to the front end side in the discharge direction of the paper discharge stacker 30 by an attachment screw 39, thereby forming a discharge port 30 a for the paper P at the front end side in the discharge direction of the paper discharge stacker 30. When the paper P is discharged, for example, in a curled state, the upper cover 38 may be jammed due to the curled paper P contacting or catching on the upper part of the opening 201 formed in the door 200. It plays a role as a paper discharge guide to prevent the above.
[0034]
Therefore, the upper cover 38 is devised to smoothly discharge the paper P in addition to this. This will be described below. First, discharge ribs 44 extending in the discharge direction of the paper P are formed inside the upper cover 38 at regular intervals in the width direction of the paper P (see FIG. 4). The discharge rib 44 plays a role of smoothly discharging the paper P by reducing the contact friction resistance with the upper cover 38 when the curled paper P advances to the discharge port 30a while contacting the upper cover 38. . Further, on the side of the paper receiver 37, as shown in FIG. 4, paper discharge ribs (lower) 45 extending in the discharge direction are formed at regular intervals in the width direction of the paper P, and contact with the paper P proceeding in the discharge direction. The function of reducing the frictional resistance and smoothly discharging the paper P is achieved.
[0035]
Further, in connection with the paper discharge rib 44 formed on the upper cover 38, a connection rib indicated by reference numeral 203 in FIGS. 3 and 6 is formed on the upper plate indicated by reference numeral 202 in FIG. The connection rib 203 connects to the paper discharge rib 44 formed on the upper cover 38 when the door portion 200 is closed, and smoothly discharges the paper P until the paper P is finally taken out from the opening 201. It plays a function to let you.
Here, as shown in FIG. 6, a recess 38c is formed at the leading end of the upper cover 38 in the discharging direction, and the connection rib 203 enters the recess 38c when the door 200 is closed. ing. That is, when the door part 200 is closed, the paper discharge ribs 44 and the connection ribs 203 are arranged so as to be positioned with respect to each other in the width direction of the paper P. Thus, when the door part 200 is closed, the paper discharge ribs are arranged. 44 and the connection rib 203 (upper cover 38) do not collide, and as a result, manufacturing tolerances of the door portion 200, the paper discharge stacker 30, and the like can be moderated.
[0036]
Next, self-positioning means for positioning the discharge port 30a and the opening 201 by itself will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 5 as well as other drawings as appropriate.
3, guide portions 38a are formed on both sides of the front end portion of the upper cover 38 in the discharge direction, and a slope 38b is formed below the guide portion 38a (see also FIG. 4). On the other hand, a guide block 204 is fixed inside the door 200 and below the opening 201 (see FIG. 1 for a perspective view). The guide block 204 has a guide surface 204a, and when the door portion 200 is closed, the guide portion 38a rides on the guide surface 204a.
[0037]
FIG. 5 shows the state before the ride. As is clear from the figure, when the door portion 200 is closed, first, the front end portion 204b of the guide block 204 comes into contact with the inclined surface 38b, and as described above. Since the paper discharge stacker 30 is configured to be rotatable about the rotation shaft 36 as a rotation fulcrum, the guide portion 38a rides on the guide block 204. Note that FIG. 6 is also a perspective view showing the state where the vehicle rides up.
[0038]
The guide portion 38a advances on the guide surface 204a until the door portion 200 is completely closed, and the discharge stacker 30 is guided to the final positioning position. In addition, the arrow of FIG. 5 has shown the advancing direction of the guide block 204 when the door part 200 is closed.
[0039]
Accordingly, the discharge stacker 30 is configured such that the front end portion in the discharge direction can swing up and down. When the door portion 200 is closed, the guide block 204 fixed to the lower portion of the opening 201 is attached to the guide block 204. The guide portion 38a formed at the front end of the discharge stacker 30 in the discharge direction rides up, and positioning of the discharge portion 30a and the opening 201 is performed. Since it is not necessary to form the opening 201 and both can be positioned easily and accurately, manufacturing errors and assembly errors in the entire apparatus unit 400 can be absorbed, thereby reducing manufacturing costs. be able to.
[0040]
The guide block 204 described above may be attached to the paper discharge stacker 30 side (printer 100 side). In this case, the discharge stacker 30 is set in a fixed state without swinging, and conversely, a part of the door part 201 including the opening 201 is configured to be swingable up and down, so that the same effect as described above is obtained. An effect can be obtained. It goes without saying that the self-positioning means described so far can be applied not only to the vertical alignment of the discharge port 30a and the opening 201 but also to the horizontal alignment.
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the description has been given by taking the printer as an example of the “device for discharging the processing object”. However, the apparatus is not limited to the printer, and other devices for discharging the processing object are accommodated in the housing. It is also clear that the present invention can be applied to cases.
