SHEET CONVEYING APPARATUS, DRIVE TRANSMISSION APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

A sheet conveying apparatus includes a conveying member conveying and rotating a sheet, a moving member configured to be movable between a first guiding position and a second guiding position, a first abutting portion configured to stop the moving member at the first guiding position, a second abutting portion configured to stop the moving member at the second guiding position, and a planetary gear mechanism. The planetary gear mechanism includes a first rotating element configured to rotate in a first direction and a second direction which is opposite to the first direction, a second rotating element configured to rotate the conveying member by drivenly rotating with the first rotating element, and a third rotating element configured to move the moving member from the second guiding positon to the first guiding positon by drivenly rotating with the first rotating element rotating in the first direction, and move the moving member from the first guiding position to the second guiding position by drivenly rotating with the first rotating element rotating in the second direction.

主权项

1. A sheet conveying apparatus, comprising:
a conveying member rotating and conveying a sheet; a moving member configured to be movable between a first guiding position and a second guiding position, the moving member guiding the sheet to a first conveyance path in the first guiding position and guiding the sheet to a second conveyance path in the second guiding position; a first abutting portion configured to stop the moving member at the first guiding position by coming into abutment with the moving member having moved from the second guiding position to the first guiding position; a second abutting portion configured to stop the moving member at the second guiding position by coming into abutment with the moving member having moved from the first guiding position to the second guiding position; and a planetary gear mechanism including:
a first rotating element configured to rotate in a first direction and a second direction which is opposite to the first direction;a second rotating element configured to engage with the first rotating element and rotate the conveying member by drivenly rotating with the first rotating element, anda third rotating element configured to engage with the first rotating element, the third rotating element configured to move the moving member from the second guiding positon to the first guiding positon by drivenly rotating with the first rotating element rotating in the first direction, and move the moving member from the first guiding position to the second guiding position by drivenly rotating with the first rotating element rotating in the second direction.
