Abstract
A recording device includes a transportation path that transports a medium, a recording portion configured to move with respect to the transportation path in a direction intersecting with a recording surface of the medium, a moving mechanism that moves the recording portion, and a motor that causes the recording portion to move, and the moving mechanism includes a first member on which a first rack is formed in a moving direction of the recording portion, a first pinion gear that is engaged with the first rack, a second rack that is provided at a position facing the first rack in the recording portion, formed in the moving direction, and engaged with the first pinion gear, and a second member in which the first pinion gear is rotatably provided that is configured to move in the moving direction by receiving the power of the motor.
Claims17
A recording device comprising:
- a transportation path that transports a medium;
- a recording portion configured to move with respect to the transportation path in a direction intersecting with a recording surface of the medium;
- a moving mechanism that moves the recording portion in a moving direction;
- and
- a motor that causes the recording portion to move by transferring power to the moving mechanism, wherein the moving mechanism includes
- a first member on which a first rack is formed in the moving direction of the recording portion,
- a first pinion gear that is engaged with the first rack,
- a rack forming member in the recording portion, the rack forming member having a second rack that is formed at a position facing the first rack, the second rack being formed in the moving direction of the recording portion, and the second rack being engaged with the first pinion gear, and
- a second member configured to move in the moving direction by receiving the power of the motor, the first pinion gear being rotatably provided in the second member.
A recording device comprising:
- a transportation path that transports a medium;
- a recording portion configured to move with respect to the transportation path in a direction intersecting with a recording surface of the medium;
- a moving mechanism that moves the recording portion;
- and
- a motor that causes the recording portion to move by transferring power to the moving mechanism, wherein the moving mechanism includes
- a first member on which a first rack is formed in a moving direction of the recording portion,
- a first pinion gear that is engaged with the first rack,
- a second rack that is provided at a position facing the first rack in the recording portion, formed in the moving direction of the recording portion, and engaged with the first pinion gear,
- a second member in which the first pinion gear is rotatably provided that is configured to move in the moving direction by receiving the power of the motor,
- at least one third rack that is formed in the moving direction in the second member, and
- at least one second pinion gear that rotates by the power of the motor and is engaged with the at least one third rack.
A recording device comprising:
- a transportation path that transports a medium;
- a recording portion configured to move with respect to the transportation path in a direction intersecting with a recording surface of the medium;
- a moving mechanism that moves the recording portion;
- and
- a motor that causes the recording portion to move by transferring power to the moving mechanism, wherein the moving mechanism includes a first member on which a first rack is formed in a moving direction of the recording portion,
- a first pinion gear that is engaged with the first rack,
- a second rack that is provided at a position facing the first rack in the recording portion, formed in the moving direction of the recording portion, and engaged with the first pinion gear, and
- a second member in which the first pinion gear is rotatably provided that is configured to move in the moving direction by receiving the power of the motor, wherein
- when a normal direction with respect to a mounting surface on which the recording device is mounted is set to a device height direction, a path during recording, which is a path section facing the recording portion in the transportation path, is inclined with respect to the device height direction.
