SHEET CONVEYANCE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240228207 titled 'SHEET CONVEYANCE DEVICE
Simplified Explanation:
The patent application describes a sheet conveyance device with a deformable bearing that holds a roller shaft and is urged by an urging member. The frame of the device ensures that the bearing is not in contact with the holding portion in a specific region downstream of the roller shaft's rotation center.
- The device includes a frame, rollers, a roller shaft, an urging member, and a deformable bearing.
- The bearing holds the roller shaft and is deformable.
- The urging member pushes the second roller in a specific direction.
- The frame ensures the bearing does not contact the holding portion in a particular region downstream of the roller shaft's rotation center.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Deformable bearing for holding the roller shaft.
- Specific direction for urging the second roller.
- Frame design to prevent contact between the bearing and holding portion in a defined region.
Potential Applications:
- Printing machines
- Conveyor belts
- Packaging equipment
Problems Solved:
- Reduced friction between bearing and holding portion.
- Improved efficiency in sheet conveyance.
Benefits:
- Smoother sheet conveyance process.
- Longer lifespan of the device components.
Commercial Applications:
The technology can be utilized in various industries such as printing, packaging, and manufacturing for efficient sheet conveyance processes.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the deformable bearing improve the performance of the sheet conveyance device? 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with implementing this technology in industrial settings?
Original Abstract Submitted
a sheet conveyance device includes a frame, first and second rollers, a roller shaft, an urging member, and a bearing. the bearing includes a holding portion to slidably hold the roller shaft and held by the frame. the holding portion is deformable. as viewed in a rotational axis direction of the roller shaft, a direction in which the urging member urges the second roller is defined as a first direction, a direction that is perpendicular to the first direction is defined as a second direction, and a region where the roller shaft is present in the second direction is defined as a first region. the frame holds the bearing so as not to be in contact with the holding portion in the first region downstream of a rotation center of the roller shaft in the first direction.
