Abstract:
A simple configuration enables easily changing the open or closed state of multiple suction holes while assuring suction. A shutter drum rotates centered on an axis of rotation extending on a transverse axis, and a suction fan that produces negative pressure inside the shutter drum. When one suction hole on the transverse axis is a first suction hole, and another suction hole adjacent on the transverse axis to the first suction hole is a second suction hole, a first communication path including a suction chamber and through-hole communicates with the first suction hole, and a second communication path including a suction chamber and through-hole communicates with the second suction hole. The shutter drum functions as a shutter that, by rotating, selectively changes the open or closed state of the first and second communication paths.

Claim (Index 1):
A conveyance device comprising:\n a platen surface on which a conveyed medium is placed; suction holes that open in the platen surface, the suction holes include a first suction hole and a second suction hole being disposed at an interval in a specific direction; a first communication path configured to communicate with the first suction hole; a second communication path configured to communicate with the second suction hole; a shutter drum configured to rotate on an axis of rotation extending in the specific direction, and by rotating selectively open and close the first and second communication paths; and a suction fan configured to produce negative pressure in the inside space of the shutter drum, and apply suction to the suction holes communicating with an open communication path of the first and second communication paths.
