Abstract
A drive transmission device includes a shaft supporting member attached to a drive frame. The shaft supporting member rotatably supports a driving shaft. The shaft supporting member includes two bearing surfaces for rotatably holding the driving shaft, where the two bearing surfaces are disposed so as to be on a straight line, and a boss portion having the center thereof located on the straight line for positioning the drive transmission device relative to the drive frame.
Claims15
A drive transmission device comprising:
- a driving shaft;
- a shaft supporting member including:
- a first bearing portion configured to support the driving shaft;
- a second bearing portion configured to support the driving shaft;
- a connecting portion configured to connect the first bearing portion and the second bearing portion;
- and
- a positioning portion which is disposed on a straight line that is the same as an axis of the driving shaft,
- wherein the first bearing portion, the second bearing portion, the connecting portion, and the positioning portion are formed as one piece and are not separate from each other,
- a first gear configured to rotate about the driving shaft, the first gear being disposed between the first bearing portion and the second bearing portion;
- a screw;
- and
- a frame to which the shaft supporting member is attached, the frame having:
- a positioning hole, wherein the positioning portion is fitted into the positioning hole to position the shaft supporting member with respect to the frame;
- a screw hole to attach the shaft supporting member to the frame using the screw, wherein the screw is inserted into the screw hole in a direction parallel with an axial direction of the driving shaft;
- a second gear configured to rotate about a shaft fixed to the frame, the first gear and the second gear being meshed with each other and configured to transmit a driving force from a motor,
- wherein a center of the positioning portion is disposed on the straight line that is the same as the axis of the driving shaft, and in a state where the shaft supporting member is attached to the frame, the driving shaft and the shaft fixed to the frame are in parallel.
