BELT DRIVING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
20190258195 · 2019-08-22 ·

A belt driving device includes a plurality of rollers, an endless belt, a contact surface, and a non-contact surface. The rollers include a driving roller that is rotationally driven. The endless belt is stretched between the rollers such that a predetermined tension is applied to the endless belt, and the endless belt protrudes from opposite end portions of the rollers in an axis direction of each of the rollers. The contact surface is formed at a first end portion of at least one of the rollers and comes in contact with the endless belt. The first end portion is located on a meandering direction side of the endless belt. The non-contact surface is formed at each of second end portions of the rollers and doesn't come in contact with the endless belt. The second end portions are located on a side opposite to the meandering direction of the endless belt.

AXLE LOCK ASSEMBLY FOR MOTOR DRIVEN ROLLERS

Various embodiments illustrated herein disclose an axle lock assembly comprising a first plate with a first aperture, a second plate with a second aperture, a shaft, wherein the shaft is inserted through the first aperture and the second aperture and a bush. When the bushing is in contact with the first plate and the second plate, the bush creates a lateral force to move the first plate and the second plate in opposite directions to secure the shaft.

SINGULATING CONVEYOR WITH DIFFERENT SPEED ZONES IN A HERRINGBONE PATTERN AND METHOD OF OPERATION THEREOF

Singulating conveyors having transporting rollers are divided into multiple longitudinal zones in a forward or herringbone portion of the conveyor, preferably six or eight zones. Each longitudinal zone is divided into a pair of side-by-side outside and inside lateral zones. The rollers of each lateral zone are driven by a separate motor so that the speed of the rollers in the multiple longitudinal zones can vary along the herringbone portion, and the speed of the rollers in the outside lateral zones can operate at a higher speed than the rollers of the adjacent inside lateral zones. The discharge or skew portion of the conveyors is also divided into multiple longitudinal zones, preferably seven, each of which is driven by a separate motor so that the speed of the discharge rollers can be varied. The singulating conveyors can be expanded by utilizing a modular manufacturing method.
