Conveying device, liquid discharge apparatus, image forming apparatus, and post-processing apparatus

A conveying device, comprising:

• a plurality of rotating bodies spaced apart in a sheet conveyance direction in which a sheet is conveyed;
• and
• a plurality of projecting rotators spaced apart in the sheet conveyance direction on a side of an opposite face opposite a liquid applied face of the sheet, each of the plurality of projecting rotators having a plurality of projections projecting radially outward,
• wherein the plurality of rotating bodies are arranged to contact the plurality of projecting rotators,
• wherein a contact pressure of the plurality of rotating bodies with the plurality of projecting rotators is smaller on an upstream side in the sheet conveyance direction than a contact pressure of the plurality of rotating bodies with the plurality of projecting rotators on a downstream side in the sheet conveyance direction, and
• wherein a number of the plurality of projecting rotators arranged in a sheet width direction is larger on the upstream side in the sheet conveyance direction than a number of the plurality of projecting rotators arranged in a sheet width direction on the downstream side in the sheet conveyance direction.

• wherein the plurality of rotating bodies are shifted from the plurality of projecting rotators in an axial direction so that the plurality of rotating bodies does not contact the plurality of projecting rotators,
• wherein an entry amount of the plurality of projecting rotators that enters in an inner diameter direction of the plurality of rotating bodies beyond an outer peripheral surface of the plurality of rotating bodies is smaller on an upstream side in the sheet conveyance direction than an entry amount of the plurality of projecting rotators that enters in an inner diameter direction of the plurality of rotating bodies beyond an outer peripheral surface of the plurality of rotating bodies on a downstream side in the sheet conveyance direction, and
• wherein one of an interval between the plurality of rotating bodies in the sheet conveyance direction and an interval between the plurality of projecting rotators in the sheet conveyance direction is smaller on the upstream side in the sheet conveyance direction than the one of an interval between the plurality of rotating bodies in the sheet conveyance direction and an interval between the plurality of projecting rotators in the sheet conveyance direction is smaller on the upstream side in the sheet conveyance direction on the downstream side in the sheet conveyance direction.
