    摘要: A sheet feeding device includes a feeding roller pair, a detecting portion, a first changing portion, a second changing portion, and a controller for controlling the first changing portion and the second changing portion. The controller starts a first feeding operation for feeding a sheet toward the obliquely feeding roller pair in a nipping state of the feeding roller pair and then starts a second feeding operation for feeding the sheet for abutting a side end of the sheet against the reference member in the nipping state of the obliquely feeding roller pair. The controller changes, after the first feeding operation is started and before the second feeding operation is started, a start timing of the second feeding operation on the basis of a detection result of a position of the side end of the sheet detected by the detecting portion.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes: a sheet storage portion having a sheet stacking portion, a sheet feed portion, a drive portion configured to be capable of switching a lifting speed when lifting the sheet stacking portion between a first lifting speed and a second lifting speed, a height detecting portion configured to be capable of detecting the fact that the sheet reaches a decelerating position for switching the lifting speed of the sheet stacking portion from the first lifting speed to the second lifting speed, a time counting portion, and a control unit. The control unit computes the sheet stacking amount of the sheet stacking portion by using a relationship among the lifting time from a start of the lifting operation of the sheet stacking portion until the sheet reaches a decelerating position, the first lifting speed, and a heightwise position of the decelerating position when the sheet stacked on the sheet stacking portion is lifted to the decelerating position at the first lifting speed by the drive portion and then is lifted to a feeding position at the second lifting speed.

    摘要: Provided are a sheet feeding device and an image forming apparatus which are capable of stably feeding sheets having a different basis weight.When lifting a sheet supporting plate (50) vertically movably provided in a sheet feeding cassette (51), a controller controls a lifting and lowering mechanism (55A) which lifts and lowers the sheet supporting plate (50), based on basis weight information from an inputting portion. The controller stops the sheet supporting portion (50) at a position where an abutting force causing a feeding roller (56) biased by a feeding roller pressure spring (58) to abut against a sheet (S) is increased as the basis weight of the sheet is increased.

    摘要: A sheet conveyance apparatus includes a conveyance guide configured to guide a sheet along a conveyance center line extending in a conveyance direction, a reference member including an abutment surface, a conveyance unit configured to convey the sheet while abutting a first edge of the sheet against the abutment surface, a detection unit configured to detect a first angle formed between the first edge of the sheet and a second edge adjacent to the first edge, a moving unit configured to move the reference member so as to change a second angle formed between the abutment surface and the conveyance center line, and a control unit configured to perform a movement process in which the moving unit moves the reference member such that, when the first angle is referred to as α, the second angle becomes an absolute value of a difference 90 degrees minus α.

    摘要: A sheet feeding apparatus includes a storage portion, a sheet supporting portion, a feed portion, a drive portion to output driving force that lifts the sheet supporting portion, and a rotation shaft rotatably supported by the storage portion and including an engaging portion disposed on one end side in an axial direction of the rotation shaft. The engaging portion engages with the drive portion, and a pressing portion is fixed to the rotation shaft and presses the sheet supporting portion from below when the rotation shaft is rotated by the drive portion. A rotary damper joins with the rotation shaft on another end side of the rotation shaft and reduces rotary motion of the rotation shaft. The pressing portion is disposed between the engaging portion and the rotary damper in the axial direction.

    摘要: A sheet feeding apparatus includes a sheet supporting portion, a rotary feeding member configured to feed the sheet, a regulating portion configured to regulate a position of the edge portion, and a force applying portion that is provided separately from the rotary feeding member. The force applying portion contacts the sheet supported on the sheet supporting portion upstream in a conveyance direction of the rotary feeding member and applies a force to turn the sheet fed by the rotary feeding member.

    摘要: A sheet conveyance apparatus includes a conveyance roller, an abutment member including an abutment surface, an obliquely conveying roller configured to convey the sheet such that the side edge portion is moved toward the abutment surface, a sheet side-edge detection portion, and a controller. The controller is configured to control the conveyance force of the obliquely conveying roller at a first conveyance force until a predetermined time has elapsed, in an abutment operation in which the sheet is abutted against the abutment surface by the obliquely conveying roller, and control the conveyance force of the obliquely conveying roller at a second conveyance force larger than the first conveyance force if the predetermined time has elapsed and the position of the side edge portion of the sheet detected by the sheet side-edge detection portion is out of a predetermined range.
