Light guide film production device
The present invention relates to the technical field of optical film production, and provides a light guide film production device, including a feeding unit, a fusion stirring unit, an extrusion molding unit, a cooling shaping unit, a guide leveling unit, a flattening unit, and a finished product winding unit. The cooling shaping unit is provided with a first water tank to perform heat exchange on an extruded light guide film for heat recovery, so that edge film pressing mechanisms press pressure blocks at the edge film positions using the memory effect of a memory alloy. Circulating water of the first water tank subjected to heat exchange is delivered to a second water tank disposed in the flattening unit, so that a first conveyor belt made of the memory alloy in a third drive device drives a second rolling roller set to rotate to realize secondary utilization of recovered heat. In the present invention, an air delivery mechanism with one airflow pipe to the cooling shaping unit, and the other airflow pipe to the flattening unit is further provided. According to the present invention, the heat of the light guide film production process is used to improve the quality of the light guide film and reduce the energy consumption of the light guide film production process.
SHEET CONVEYANCE APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM
A sheet conveyance apparatus includes a conveyance path including a first path through which the sheet is conveyed toward a sheet processing apparatus, and a second path branched from the first path, a switching guide configured to switch a conveyance route of the sheet between the first path and the second path, an air blowing unit configured to send air toward the conveyance path, and an air blowing port configured to blow the air from the air blowing unit to the conveyance path. The air blowing port is arranged upstream of the switching guide in a sheet conveyance direction of the first path, and configured to blow the air toward a downstream side in the sheet conveyance direction.
Sheet discharge apparatus and image forming apparatus
A sheet discharge apparatus includes a discharge unit configured to discharge a sheet in a discharge direction, a stacking surface configured to stack the sheet discharged by the discharge unit, and a wall including a plurality of hole portions and an abutting part, wherein the plurality of hole portions includes a first hole portion disposed across an extension line along the stacking surface when viewed in a width direction, the first hole portion including a first edge portion and a second edge portion, the first edge portion being positioned on a side of the stacking surface, and wherein, in the vertical direction, an upper end of the first edge portion of the first hole portion is positioned above the extension line, and a lower end of the first edge portion of the first hole portion is positioned below the extension line.
ATTACHMENT MECHANISM, APPARATUS INCLUDING ATTACHMENT MECHANISM, BELT DEVICE, CONVEYANCE DEVICE, COOLING DEVICE, AND PRINTING APPARATUS
An attachment mechanism includes a first holding member and a second holding member. The first holding member is configured to hold a device side plate of a belt device to attach a main body side plate of an apparatus in which the belt device is incorporated. The second holding member is configured to be fixed to the first holding member. The first holding member and the second folding member are configured to adjust a posture of the device side plate with respect to the main body side plate in assembly of the belt device.

Image forming system and relay conveyance apparatus
The relay conveyance apparatus includes a casing, an opening, a cover, a conveyance guide, a protruding part and a cooling mechanism. The casing has an inner space in which a relay conveyance path is formed. The opening is formed in the casing. The protruding part is provided in the cover. When the conveyance guide is switched to a path formation position, the protruding part is inserted into the inner space of the casing to allow closing of the cover, and when the conveyance guide is switched to a path opening position, the protruding part interferes with the conveyance guide to restrict the closing of the cover. The cooling mechanism includes a main duct, a fan and an air blowing port. The air blowing port is provided in the protruding part, and through which the cooling air is blown from the main duct to the relay conveyance path.
VACUUM COATING DEVICE FOR FLEXIBLE SUBSTRATE
