Sheet conveying device and recording apparatus

Номер: US20120050438A1
Автор: Itaru Wada
Принадлежит: Canon Inc

A sheet conveying device having a rolled-sheet supporting unit, a conveying unit, a driving unit, a tension applying unit, and a control unit. The rolled-sheet supporting unit supports a continuous sheet rolled up into a roll. The conveying unit conveys the continuous sheet from the rolled-sheet supporting unit as driven by the driving unit. The tension applying unit applies tension to the continuous sheet downstream of the conveying unit in a conveying direction. The control unit controls a driving amount of the driving unit per unit conveyance distance as the conveying unit conveys the continuous sheet. The driving amount is larger in a case where a first tension is applied by the tension applying unit compared to a case in which a second tension, that is larger than the first tension, is applied.

Alternative apparatus for reducing web feed rate variations induced by parent roll geometry variations

Номер: US20120097787A1
Автор: Paul Alan Binner, Sr.
Принадлежит: Procter and Gamble Co

An apparatus is disclosed for reducing feed rate variations when unwinding a web material. The apparatus includes a rotational position and speed determining device for determining the rotational position and speed of the parent roll, a drive system for imparting rotational movement to the parent roll, a device for measuring the radius of the parent roll, and a logic device. The logic device generates an ideal speed reference signal and utilizes calculated and measured data to establish a corrected speed reference signal to make adjustments in the driving speed based upon the corrected speed reference signal to maintain a relatively constant feed rate. By dividing the parent roll into 1, 2, . . . n sectors, the data can be refined to a relatively high degree taking into account high speed data processing capabilities as well as operating system response times to make appropriate driving speed adjustments.
