じていた。(Prior Art) Conventionally, when this type of device performs recording on recording paper, the recording paper and ink donor sheet are sandwiched between a thermal head and a platen roller, and the thermal head generates heat in this state. The transfer efficiency of thermally sublimated or thermally melted ink to recording paper is highly dependent on the physical properties of the ink and recording paper.For this reason, differences in the surface condition of the recording paper and differences between the ink donor sheet and the recording paper are important. The transfer efficiency changes depending on the difference in the peeling state of the
A disadvantage has arisen in that recording results with uniform density cannot be obtained.

An object of the present invention is to provide a type thermosensitive recording device.

merges with the ink donor sheet 3 just before the thermal head 2, and is transferred to the ink donor sheet 3 by the platen roller 4.
The thermal head 2 is also closely attached to the thermal head 2.
Predetermined recording is performed with zero heat generation. After recording, the recording paper 1 is placed on the ink donor sheet 3 just before the drive roller 5.
It is peeled off from the paper and discharged to a discharge tray (not shown).

様な濃度となる。By the way, a piezoelectric body 6 is integrally attached to the thermal head 2, and by vibrating the piezoelectric body 6 at high frequency during recording, the thermal head 2 is vibrated in the direction of the axis of the platen roller 4. There is. In this case, the vibration period of the piezoelectric body 6 is selected to be sufficiently shorter than the drive period of the stem and knob motor (not shown) for conveying the ink donor sheet 3. As a result, the thermally melted ink from the ink donor sheet 3 is forcibly penetrated into the recording paper 11, and the recording result always has a uniform density.

録紙１こと浸透させられる。FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of a drive circuit for the piezoelectric body 6, in which a high frequency signal is applied to the piezoelectric body 6 via a drive circuit 8 under the control of a sequence control circuit 7. This high frequency signal is applied for a predetermined period of time in synchronization with the timing at which the drive circuit 9 causes the thermal head 2 to generate heat. As a result, the piezoelectric body 6 vibrates at a high frequency in synchronization with the heat generation timing of the thermal head 20, and the ink developed from the ink donor sheet 3 is forced to partially penetrate into the recording paper 1.

This has the effect that recording results with uniform density can always be obtained regardless of differences in conditions, and recording quality can be improved. Furthermore, it becomes possible to use even paper with a poor surface condition as recording paper, which is extremely beneficial economically.
