The present invention provides a sheet feeding apparatus and an image forming apparatus enabling high-accuracy and stable sheet overlapping conveyance regardless of the size, basis weight, and kind of sheets.Timing when a subsequent sheet Sb is adsorbed by an adsorbing and conveying mechanism 151 of a sheet feeding device 312 which adsorbs and conveys sheets blown up by air blowing is controlled, and the subsequent sheet Sb is conveyed while being overlapped partially at an overlapping amount with a preceding sheet Sa adsorbed by the adsorbing and conveying mechanism 151 earlier regardless of the size, basis weight, and kind of sheets.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus capable of accurately detecting a thickness of various sheets. A CPU of the image forming apparatus sets the degree of amplification to a large value, if a sheet basis weight is equal to or less than a threshold value, and sets the degree of amplification to a small value, if the sheet basis weight is larger than the threshold value. One of magnetic sensors, which are disposed facing respective ones of magnets mounted to a displacement member of a sheet thickness detection device of the image forming apparatus, is selected according to the set degree of amplification. When a sheet passes through a detection part of the displacement member, a displacement of the detection part amplified through the displacement member is detected by the selected sensor and a sheet thickness is detected based on an output of the sensor.
摘要:
Provided is a sheet feeding apparatus capable of reliably feeding thin sheets in a separated state and an image forming apparatus including the same.A floating preventing member which regulates an upward movement of an uppermost sheet floated by air is provided so as to be lifted and lowered between a tail end regulating plate regulating the position of the sheet above a tray and an adsorbing and conveying portion which conveys the uppermost sheet floated by the air blowing from a downstream air blowing portion. The adsorbing and conveying portion is moved to a predetermined regulating position higher than the height position of the uppermost sheet and lower than the feeding surface of the adsorbing and conveying portion before the sheet is floated, which suppresses the movement of the sheet toward the tail end side caused by the curling of the sheet due to the air.

摘要:
A sheet feeding apparatus and an image forming apparatus are provided which can reduce the variability of overlapped portions when feeding sheets in an overlapping manner.When sheets are adsorbed to an adsorption conveyance belt, a suction shutter is switched from a block position to block a negative pressure to an adsorption position to adsorb the sheets by the negative pressure. When the sheets conveyed in an overlapping manner reaches a predetermined number and the next sheet is adsorbed, the timing to switch the suction shutter to the adsorption position is delayed compared to the timing at which a preceding sheet adsorbed in advance and a subsequent sheet overlap.
摘要:
A sheet processing apparatus capable of high-speed and accurate detection of a lateral displacement and a skew of a sheet. A motor laterally shifts the sensors during sheet conveyance by a conveying motor, to determine first and second positions of the sheet lateral edge detected respectively by first and second sensors. A finisher controller determines a third position of the lateral edge of the sheet closer to a sheet trailing edge, based on the first and second positions and an amount of conveyance of the sheet from when the first position is detected to when the second position is detected. A lateral displacement of the sheet is corrected by laterally shifting the sheet according to the third position of the sheet lateral edge.
