TRANSPORT DEVICE AND RECORDING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18520154 titled 'TRANSPORT DEVICE AND RECORDING DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a transport device for transporting a medium to be recorded by a recording section, including a transport belt, a pressing section, and a cover with an intake port and a fan.
- The transport device includes a transport belt for moving the medium.
- A pressing section presses the medium against the transport belt while heating it.
- A cover covers the recording and pressing sections, with an intake port for air circulation.
- A fan draws air into the cover through the intake port to cool the device.
Potential Applications
The technology could be used in various recording devices such as printers, scanners, or copiers.
Problems Solved
The device prevents overheating of the medium during the recording process, ensuring accurate and high-quality recordings.
Benefits
- Improved recording quality - Prevents damage to the medium - Efficient cooling system
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology could be applied in commercial printing and copying machines to enhance performance and reliability.
Possible Prior Art
Similar cooling systems may exist in industrial printing machines or other recording devices to prevent overheating during operation.
Unanswered Questions
How does the pressing section ensure proper contact with the medium during the recording process?
The pressing section likely applies a controlled amount of pressure to ensure consistent contact between the medium and the transport belt.
What materials are used in the construction of the cover to withstand the heating process?
The cover may be made of heat-resistant materials such as metal or high-temperature plastics to withstand the heat generated during the recording process.
Original Abstract Submitted
A transport device for transporting a medium to be recorded by a recording section includes a transport belt for transporting the medium; a pressing section that is located further upstream than the recording section in a transport direction of the medium and presses the medium against the transport belt while heating the medium; a cover covering the recording section and the pressing section, which has an intake port , and a fan that draws air into the cover through the intake port and is located further upstream than the intake port in the transport direction, wherein the intake port is located between the recording section and the pressing section in the transport direction.
