Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a recording device that can freely cut or engrave a recording medium.

In recent years, pen-written oscillographs and curve plotters have been widely used as means for recording measurement information such as vibration waveforms and figures obtained by electronic computers.

This type of recording device records information on a roll of recording paper that is moved in a predetermined direction by moving a recording pen according to the information to be recorded, such as the vibration waveform or figure described above. It is something.

By the way, in such a recording device, after recording information, the recording paper is cut out for each piece of information or into a size specified by the JIS standard, such as A4 size, using a cutter or scissors, and then used for information analysis and record organization. I'm offering it.

Therefore, as the amount of recorded information increases, and as the number of complicated operations such as cutting out figures increases, the above operations require more time and effort.

In particular, roll-shaped recording paper has unique characteristics such as curling, which makes the work extremely complicated and a heavy burden for the user.

For this reason, it was not possible to efficiently analyze information after recording or organize the recorded results.

This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to be able to freely, easily and quickly cut a recording medium, and to cut out figures etc. from a recording medium and The object of the present invention is to provide a recording device capable of engraving characters or lines on a surface.

A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1a and 1b are schematic configuration diagrams showing a recording apparatus according to this embodiment, and numeral 1 in the figures indicates the apparatus base.

A recording paper 3 is placed on a recording stand (head) 2 of this apparatus base 1 so as to be movable in the direction of arrow A.

The recording paper 3 is wound into a roll around a take-up roller 4, and is unwound from the take-up roller 4 and moved on the recording table 2 by a conveying roller 25at5b.

Further, a kite rail 6 is provided on the apparatus base 1 so as to face the recording surface of the recording paper 3.

This guide rail 6 is controlled by a wire 7 so as to be movable in the same direction as the moving direction A of the recording paper 3 as shown by an arrow B in the figure.

Further, the guide rail 6 guides the recording section 8 to the recording paper 3.
It is supported so as to be movable in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction A (arrow C in the figure).

That is, the recording section 8 is configured to freely move on the recording surface of the recording paper 3 according to the recorded information.

Such a recording section 8 is provided with three recording pens 9 and one cutting mechanism 9A, and the recording paper 3 is cut by the recording pen 9.
information is listed in.

The movement of the recording section 8 is controlled by a control circuit (not shown).

By the way, as shown in FIG. 2, the cutting mechanism 9A is composed of a cutting mechanism main body 11 and a gripping section 12 that grips and fixes the cutting mechanism main body 11 to the recording section 8.

The gripping member 13 made of the cylindrical gripping portion 120 is removably inserted into a hole bored in the recording portion 8, and is fixed at a predetermined position with a screw 14.

Inside the hole of the gripping member 13, first, a first hole portion having a reference diameter is formed at the lower part of the hole, and this first hole portion has a reference diameter.
A flange 15 is provided protruding from the inner wall surface of the opening (lowermost part) of the hole.

Further, a second hole having a larger diameter than the first hole is coaxially formed above the first hole forming position in the hole of the gripping member 13, and the second hole has a larger diameter than the first hole. A first stepped portion is formed at the connection portion between the first hole portion and the first hole portion.

A coil spring 25 is disposed within the second hole, and this coil spring 25 is supported by the first step.

Furthermore, a third hole having a larger diameter than the second hole is formed in the upper part of the second hole, and this third hole serves as an opening in the upper part of the gripping member 13. There is.

The solenoid 16 inserted into the third hole and having an inner diameter that is approximately the same as that of the second hole is connected to a second stage formed at the connection between the third hole and the second hole. It is locked in the section.

The lid member shown at 17 in the figure is for accommodating the cutting mechanism main body 11, which will be described later, and then closing the upper opening of the gripping member 13.

On the other hand, the cutting mechanism main body 11 exudes the solution 19 contained in the pen shaft 18 by rolling a ball 20 provided at the tip.

It consists of what is called a ballpoint pen.

The pen shaft 18 contains a chemical, for example, sulfuric acid, which dissolves the recording paper 3 as a dissolving liquid 19.

Further, a lid body 21 made of a dielectric material is attached to the outer periphery of the opening at the top of the pen shaft 18.

Note that 22 in the figure indicates a ball support member that rotatably supports the ball 20.

In addition, members that come into contact with the solution 19, such as the ball support member 22, the pen shaft 18, and the ball 20, are
It is made of a material that is resistant to corrosion against the solution 19, or it is made of a material that has been surface-treated with the material that is resistant to corrosion.

The cutting mechanism main body 11 configured in this way is
It is inserted through the upper opening of the gripping member 13 and the second
It is supported by a coil spring 25 provided in the hole.

Moreover, at this time, the lid body 21 of the cutting mechanism main body 11 is
The solenoid 16 provided in the hole is opposed to the solenoid 16 provided in the hole.

Therefore, by controlling the energization of the solenoid 16, the cutting mechanism main body 11 moves forward and backward relative to the gripping member 13 as shown by the imaginary line in the figure.

That is, the solenoid 16 and the lid 21 of the cutting mechanism main body 11 constitute a plunger mechanism.

Note that the flange 1 provided at the lower opening of the gripping member 13
Reference numeral 5 is for regulating the amount of protrusion of the tip of the cutting mechanism body 11 by contacting the protrusion of the cutting mechanism body 110 with the protruding portion of the bowl support member 22.

First, the cutting function of the recording apparatus having the above configuration will be explained.

As described above, each piece of information is recorded on the roll-shaped recording paper 3, for example, as the output of a computer.

If you want to cut and separate the recording paper 3 for each piece of information recorded on the recording paper 3 and file each piece of information separately, the cutting mechanism 9A is brought into contact between adjacent pieces of information on the recording paper 3. The recording paper 3 is moved in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the recording paper 3.

At this time, the sulfuric acid flows out onto the recording paper 3 from the cutting mechanism 9A, and the recording paper 3 is dissolved by a chemical reaction between the sulfuric acid and the recording paper 3, and is cut along the movement locus of the cutting mechanism 9A.

If this operation is performed for each piece of information, the recording paper 3 will be cut and separated for each piece of recorded information, which will be much easier to do than when cutting and separating using scissors or a cutter. Efficient (can be done)

Further, the recording paper 3 may be processed so as to have perforations instead of being cut for each piece of recorded information.

That is, when moving the cutting mechanism 9A over the recording paper 3, the solenoid 16 is energized and controlled at a predetermined cycle to move the cutting mechanism 9A over the recording paper 3.
A is placed on the recording paper 3 intermittently.

As a result, the recording paper 3 is partially cut in a chain-line pattern, for example, with perforations.

Then, it can be easily cut along the perforations or stored without being cut, allowing efficient and optimal record organization.

Next, a case will be described in which a figure or the like is recorded on the recording paper 3 as the output of the computer and this figure is cut out.

For example, when a circular figure is recorded on the recording paper 3 and the circular figure is cut out, the cutting mechanism 9A is moved along the circular line.

Then, as in the case of cutting, sulfuric acid flows out from the cutting mechanism 9A onto the recording paper 3 and dissolves the recording paper 3, whereby a circular figure is cut out from the recording paper 3.

This cutting function is possible not only for the above-mentioned circular shape but also for figures of any shape, and it is also possible to cut out not only figures but also sizes such as A4 and B5 according to the JIS standard.

Next, the engraving function of the recording device will be explained.

For example, a rubber plate (not shown) is placed on the recording table 2 instead of the recording paper 30.

The surface of this rubber plate is coated with Teflon or the like which is dissolved by the sulfuric acid.

In this state, when the cutting mechanism 9A is moved on the rubber plate according to the output of the computer, the Teflon in that area is dissolved by the sulfuric acid, and information such as letters or figures is engraved.

That is, a cutting mechanism 9A is provided in a recording section that is movably provided relative to a recording medium such as the recording paper 3, and a dissolving liquid such as sulfuric acid is used to dissolve the recording medium such as the recording paper 3 from the cutting mechanism 9A. 19 can be flowed out to cut the recording paper 3, cut out figures etc. from the recording paper 3, and engrave the surface of the rubber plate.

Therefore, it is much simpler than the conventional manual work using scissors or cutters, etc., and subsequent processing such as record organization, file and information analysis, etc. can be performed efficiently, greatly reducing the burden on the user. It can be reduced.

In addition, in the case of this embodiment, a conventional recording pen 9 is provided in the recording section 8.
Since both the cutting mechanism 9A and the cutting mechanism 9A are provided, the configuration is simple.

In this embodiment, three recording pens 9 and one cutting mechanism 9A are used, but the present invention is not limited to this.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

This embodiment is constructed using a so-called inkjet system as the cutting mechanism 9A, in which information is recorded by ejecting ink particles from a nozzle to make them adhere to the recording paper 3.

That is, the solution stored in the ink cartridge 31 is delivered to the nozzle 34 by the high pressure circuit 32 and pump 33.
The particles are atomized by the nozzle 34 and ejected onto the recording paper 3.

Further, a deflection plate 35 is provided at the solution ejection portion of the nozzle 34, and the direction of ejection of the chemical particles is controlled by this deflection plate 35.

For example, the recorded information is converted by the input signal conversion circuit 37 and then applied to the deflection circuit 36 via the control circuit 38, and the deflection circuit 36 applies a deflection voltage to the deflection plate 35 based on the change in the recorded time signal. ing.

Therefore, the deflection of the solution particles is controlled in accordance with the change in the recorded time signal, and as a result, it can be used as a substitute for the recording section 8 described in the first embodiment.

As a result, it is possible to cut the recording paper 3 at a higher speed than in the first embodiment, in which the cutting mechanism was mechanically moved to perform cutting, etc., and furthermore, it is possible to provide an apparatus with fewer failures.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the amount of solution supplied to the nozzle 34 is controlled according to changes in the recorded information, so that the density of ink particles attached to the recording paper 3 is always constant.

For example, the aforementioned control circuit 38 outputs a control signal to the pump 33 to control the amount of solution supplied, and the amount of solution supplied is detected by the ink amount detection circuit 39 and fed back to the control circuit 38. are doing.

When the change in the information to be recorded is large, the amount of solution supplied is increased, and when the change is small, the amount of solution supplied is decreased.

Therefore, the quality of the solution particles drawn on the recording paper 3 is as follows.
The recorded information becomes uniform regardless of the magnitude of change.

Therefore, cutting and clipping operations of the recording paper 3 can be performed appropriately.

Furthermore, when forming perforations etc. on the recording paper 3 in this embodiment apparatus, the magnitude of the deflection voltage applied to the deflection plate 35 is controlled at a predetermined cycle, and when the perforation corresponds to the remaining part of the perforation, This can be realized by introducing only the chemical particles into the solution reservoir 40.

Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

That is, in this third embodiment, a general writing ballpoint pen is configured as a cutting mechanism.

That is, by storing a dissolving liquid 82 having the function of dissolving paper, cloth, etc. in the pen shaft 81 and running it over the object to be cut in the same way as a ballpoint pen, the paper or cloth can be cut into any shape and size. It is for cutting.

According to such a ballpoint pen-type cutting mechanism, it is possible to easily and quickly cut out a complicated shape, especially one drawn using a cloud ruler.

Furthermore, by using a high viscosity solution as the solution and creating a structure that does not leak, there is less danger compared to carrying scissors, knives, etc., and it can be used for air gathering.

As described in detail above, the recording apparatus according to the present invention can cut the recording medium or record by supplying the dissolving liquid onto the recording medium to the recording section which is provided movably relative to the recording medium. This device is equipped with a cutting mechanism that cuts out figures, etc. from the medium, or engraves characters and figures on the recording medium.

Therefore, recording media can be cut, cut out, and engraved more easily and quickly than when conventionally done manually using a cutter or scissors, and subsequent processing such as record organization, file or information analysis is possible. This can be done efficiently and the burden on the user can be significantly reduced.
