Transportation device and recording apparatus

Abstract

A transportation device includes a cover member that is displaceable between a closing position for closing an opening of a body case and an opening position for opening the opening, a processing unit that is arranged inside the body case, and performs a specified processing with respect to a medium transported to a working area communicating with the outside of the body case through the opening when the cover member is positioned at the opening position, and a transmitted unit that is positioned at a first position different from a position between the working area and the processing unit when the cover member is positioned at the closing position, and is positioned at a second position which is the position between the working area and the processing unit when the cover member is positioned at the opening position.

1 . A transportation device that transports a medium along a transportation direction inside a body case, and discharges the medium to the outside through a discharging port provided in the body case, comprising:
 a cover member that is supported by the body case in a displaceable state between a closing position capable of closing an opening formed on the body case and an opening position capable of opening the opening;   a processing unit that is arranged inside the body case, and performs a specified processing with respect to the medium transported to a working area communicating with the outside of the body case through the opening when the cover member is positioned at the opening position;   an interlocking mechanism that is driven in conjunction with displacement of the cover member; and   a transmitted unit that moves when a driving force is transmitted from the interlocking mechanism, is positioned at a first position when the cover member is positioned at the closing position, and is positioned at a second position when the cover member is positioned at the opening position,   wherein the first position is set as a position different from a position between the working area and the processing unit, and the second position is set as the position between the working area and the processing unit.   
     
     
         2 . The transportation device according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the processing unit includes a heating unit that heats the medium transported to the working area,   the transmitted unit includes a shielding plate that shields heat from the heating unit to the working area when the shielding plate is positioned at the second position and has an opposite surface facing the medium transported along the transportation direction,   the first position is set as a position between the heating unit and the cover member positioned at the closing position, and   the shielding plate regulates outflow of gas inside the working area, which is heated by the heating unit, to the outside of the working area when the shielding plate is positioned at the first position.   
     
     
         3 . The transportation device according to  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a blower that blows air toward the working area,   wherein when the shielding plate is positioned at the first position, the shielding plate acts as a guide unit for guiding, to an exhaust port provided on a downstream side of the working area in the transportation direction, the air from the blower passed through the working area.   
     
     
         4 . The transportation device according to  claim 1 , wherein the second position is set as a position between an invisible portion that is invisible from the outside through the opening in the processing unit and the working area. 
     
     
         5 . The transportation device according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the processing unit is supported so as to be displaceable with respect to the body case,   the interlocking mechanism includes a first displacement mechanism unit that displaces the processing unit so that the working area is increased in conjunction with the displacement of the cover member when the cover member is displaced from the closing position to the opening position, and a second displacement mechanism unit that moves the transmitted unit in conjunction with the displacement of the cover member, and   the second position is set as a position between the working area and an arrangement position of the processing unit when the cover member is positioned at the opening position.   
     
     
         6 . A recording apparatus comprising:
 the transportation device according to  claim 1 ; and   a recording head that is arranged inside the body case, and performs recording with respect to a medium under transportation.
