Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Belegverarbeitungseinrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 (USA4348125).The invention relates to a document processing device according to the preamble of claim 1 (USA4348125).

Derartige Belegverarbeitungseinrichtungen werden beispielsweise bei Banken und Sparkassen als sogenannte Kontoauszugsdrucker verwendet. Es sind Selbstbedienungsgeräte, die dem jeweiligen Benutzer, sofern er in Besitz einer Berechtigungskarte, z. B. einer magnetstreifencodierten Scheckkarte ist, die Gelegenheit geben, sich die letzten Kontobewegungen und damit den jeweils aktuellen Kontostand auf einem oder mehreren Belegen ausdrucken zu lassen. Diese Geräte sollen in der Schalterhalle möglichst dicht an der Wand aufgestellt und dort befestigt werden, was jedoch zur Folge hat, dass sie dann von der Rückseite aus nicht ohne weiteres zugänglich sind.Such document processing devices are used, for example, in banks and savings banks as so-called account statement printers. There are self-service devices that the respective user, provided he has an authorization card, e.g. B. is a magnetic stripe-coded check card, give the opportunity to have the last account movements and thus the current account balance printed on one or more receipts. These devices should be placed as close as possible to the wall in the switch hall and fastened there, but this means that they will not be easily accessible from the rear.

Bei der bekannten Belegverarbeitungseinrichtung ist der Papiervorratsraum an einer Stelle hinter der gesamten Druckeinrichtung mit Papierführungselementen zugänglich und nicht von der Vorderseite, was die Bedienbarkeit und Wartung dieses Gerätes erschwert.In the known document processing device, the paper supply space is accessible at one point behind the entire printing device with paper guide elements and not from the front, which makes the operation and maintenance of this device difficult.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Belegverarbeitungseinrichtung der eingangs genannten Art so auszubilden, dass nicht nur die Bedienung durch Kunden, sondern auch die Wartung, insbesondere das Nachfüllen von Papier von der Gerätevorderseite aus erfolgen kann. Dabei soll auch das Einlegen der Papierbahn in die Vorschubeinrichtung, das Auswechseln des Farbbandes oder der Tintenpatrone sowie die Beseitigung einer durch einen Papierstau verursachten Betriebsstörung wie bisher von der Vorderseite aus erfolgen können.The present invention is based on the object of designing a document processing device of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that not only the operation by customers, but also the maintenance, in particular the refilling of paper, can take place from the front of the device. In this case, the insertion of the paper web into the feed device, the replacement of the ink ribbon or the ink cartridge as well as the elimination of a malfunction caused by a paper jam should also be possible from the front as before.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ergibt sich erfindungsgemäss durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the characterizing features of patent claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Merkmalen der Unteransprüche.Advantageous developments of the invention result from the features of the subclaims.

Im folgenden wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert.An exemplary embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing.

Das in der Figur in einem Schnittbild dargestellte Gerät besteht aus einem Gestell mit mehreren Funktionsbaugruppen und einem Gehäuse. Vom Gehäuse ist nur der Gehäusedeckel 1 sichtbar, während die Rückwand und zwei Seitenwände aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit nicht dargestellt sind. Das Gestell ist zweiteilig ausgebildet und besteht aus einem Gestellunterteil 2 mit Boden 3, Zwischenboden 4, zwei Seitenwänden (nicht dargestellt) und einer Gehäuserückwand 5 sowie aus einem schwenkbaren Gestelloberteil 6. Zwischen dem Boden 3 und dem Zwischenboden 4 ist ein Papiervorratsraum für einen Endlospapierstapel 7 vorgesehen. Von diesem Papiervorratsraum, der zur Vorderseite hin offen ist, verläuft die Papierbahn zu einer auf dem Zwischenboden 4 befestigten Druckvorrichtung 8. Diese Druckvorrichtung 8 besteht im wesentlichen aus einer Vorschubeinrichtung, beispielsweise aus Vorschubraupen 9 für die mit einer Randlochung versehene Papierbahn, aus einer Schreibwalze 10, einem Druckkopf 11 und einer Farbbandkassette 12 bzw. einer Tintenpatrone sowie dazugehörigen Antrieben und Steuerungen. Das über eine Schwenkachse 13 an der Gestellrückwand 5 hochklappbare Gestelloberteil 6 enthält die der Druckvorrichtung 8 nachgeschalteten Papierverarbeitungsstationen, wie Trennvorrichtung, Sammel-, Ausgabe- und Ablagefach. An der Oberseite des Gestelloberteiles 6 sind ferner ein Ausweisleser 14 für einen kundenbezogenen Berechtigungsausweis, Scheckkarte oder dergleichen, eine Tastatur 15 zur Eingabe einer kundenspezifischen Kodenummer sowie ein nicht dargestelltes Display befestigt.The device shown in the figure in a sectional view consists of a frame with several functional modules and a housing. From the housing, only the housing cover 1 is visible, while the rear wall and two side walls are not shown for reasons of clarity. The frame is made up of two parts and consists of a lower frame part 2 with base 3, intermediate base 4, two side walls (not shown) and a rear housing wall 5 as well as a pivotable upper frame part 6 intended. The paper web runs from this paper supply space, which is open to the front, to a printing device 8 fastened on the intermediate floor 4 , a printhead 11 and an ink ribbon cassette 12 or an ink cartridge and associated drives and controls. The frame upper part 6, which can be folded up on the frame rear wall 5 via a pivot axis 13, contains the paper processing stations downstream of the printing device 8, such as separating device, collecting, dispensing and storage compartment. On the upper side of the upper frame part 6, an identification reader 14 for a customer-specific authorization, credit card or the like, a keyboard 15 for entering a customer-specific code number and a display (not shown) are also attached.

Ein derartiges, beispielsweise als Kontoauszugsdrucker verwendbares Gerät bietet in bezug auf die Wartung den Vorteil, dass der Papiervorratsraum, die Papierführung für die Druckeinrichtung 8 und die Vorschubeinrichtung mit den Vorschubraupen 9 von der Gerätevorderseite zugänglich sind. Die aus dem Papiervorratsraum kommende Papierbahn verläuft zunächst über die waagerecht angebrachten Vorschubraupen 9, die ein bequemes Papiereinlegen ermöglichen, in Richtung Gestellrückwand 5 und nach Umlenkung an der Schreibwalze 10wieder in entgegengesetzter Richtung zurück zum Ausgabefach an der Vorderseite des Gerätes. Der obere Teil der Papierführung im Bereich der Vorschubraupen 9 und des Einschleuskanals in die Schreibwalze 10 besteht aus an der Unterseite des schwenkbaren Gestelloberteiles 6 vorgesehenen Führungsprofilen 16. Auf diese Weise kann die einzuspannende Papierbahn, ohne dass sie durch irgendwelche Führungsschlitze gesteckt werden müsste, bequem von oben auf die Vorschubraupen 9 aufgelegt werden.In terms of maintenance, such a device, which can be used, for example, as a bank statement printer, offers the advantage that the paper supply space, the paper guide for the printing device 8 and the feed device with the feed beads 9 are accessible from the front of the device. The paper web coming out of the paper storage space initially runs over the horizontally attached feed beads 9, which enable easy paper loading, in the direction of the frame rear wall 5 and after deflection on the platen roller 10 again in the opposite direction back to the output bin on the front of the device. The upper part of the paper guide in the area of the feed caterpillars 9 and the feed channel into the platen roller 10 consists of guide profiles 16 provided on the underside of the pivotable frame upper part 6 be placed on top of the feed caterpillars 9.

Für den Betrieb des Gerätes sind das Gestelloberteil 6 und der an derselben Schwenkachse 13 befestigte Gehäusedeckel 1 heruntergeklappt und mit dem Gestellunterteil 2 verriegelt. Durch Hochklappen des Gehäusedeckels 1, der durch einen Rastmechanismus gehalten wird, kann die Funktion des Gerätes überprüft und ein eventuell vorhandener Papierstau beseitigt werden. Zum Einlegen des Papiers und zum Farbbandwechsel muss auch das Gestelloberteil 6 hochgeschwenkt werden. Dies geschieht nach Lösen einer Verriegelung mit Hilfe einer zwischen Gestellunterteil 2 und Gestelloberteil 6 eingespannten Druckfeder, beispielsweise einer Gasfeder (nicht dargestellt).For the operation of the device, the upper frame part 6 and the housing cover 1 fastened to the same pivot axis 13 are folded down and locked to the lower frame part 2. By folding up the housing cover 1, which is held by a locking mechanism, the function of the device can be checked and a possible paper jam can be eliminated. The upper part of the frame 6 must also be swiveled up to insert the paper and to change the ribbon. This is done after releasing a lock with the aid of a compression spring clamped between lower frame part 2 and upper frame part 6, for example a gas spring (not shown).

Sobald ein Endlospapierstapel 7 in den Papiervorratsraum und der Papieranfang mit der Randlochung in die Vorschubraupen 9 eingelegt sind, wird das Gestelloberteil 6 gegen den Druck der Gasfeder sowie der Gehäusedeckel 1 wieder heruntergeklappt. Das Gerät kann nun gestartet werden, wobei das Papier automatisch der Schreibwalze 10 zugeführt und mittels Druckkopf 11 und Farbband beschriftet wird. Eine nach der Schreibwalze 10 vorgesehene Lichtschranke 17 tastet die Papiervorderkante ab und dient somit zur selbsttätigen Justierung des Druckbildes. Die Schreibwalze 10 ist antriebsmässig mit der Papiervorschubeinrichtung gekoppelt und schiebt das Papier über die im Gestelloberteil 6 vorgesehene Trennvorrichtung 18 mit zugehöriger Papierführung 19 zu einem Reisswalzenpaar 20, 21. Der Abstand zwischen Trennvorrichtung 18 und Reisswalzenpaar 20, 21 entspricht der Beleg- bzw. Formularlänge, die durch die jeweiligen Querperforationen in der Endlospapierbahn vorgegeben ist. Ausserdem ist die Umfangsgeschwindigkeit des Reisswalzenpaares 20, 21 grösser gewählt als die der Schreibwalze 10, so dass auf die Papierbahn, sobald sie zwischen das Reisswalzenpaar 20, 21 gelangt, aufgrund der Gegenhaltung durch Schreibwalze 10 und Vorschubraupe 9 eine Zugkraft ausgeübt wird. Diese Zugkraft bewirkt, unterstützt durch die Trennvorrichtung 18 ein Reissen der Papierbahn an der Querperforation. Als Trennvorrichtung 18 oder Reisshilfe ist ein Doppelkegel vorgesehen, der mit seinem grössten Durchmesser in die Mitte der Papierbahn hineinragt und demzufolge die Perforation von der Mitte aus nach beiden Seiten hin aufreisst.As soon as an endless paper stack 7 has been inserted into the paper supply space and the beginning of the paper with the perforations in the edge of the feed beads 9, the upper frame part 6 is folded down again against the pressure of the gas spring and the housing cover 1. The device can now be started, with the paper automatically being fed to the platen roller 10 and labeled by means of a print head 11 and an ink ribbon. A light barrier 17 provided after the platen roller 10 scans the leading edge of the paper and thus serves for the automatic adjustment of the printed image. The platen roller 10 is driving with the paper feed device coupled and pushes the paper over the separator 18 provided in the frame upper part 6 with the associated paper guide 19 to a pair of tear rollers 20, 21. The distance between the separator 18 and the pair of tear rollers 20, 21 corresponds to the document or form length, which by the respective transverse perforations in the Continuous paper web is specified. In addition, the peripheral speed of the pair of tearing rollers 20, 21 is selected to be greater than that of the platen roller 10, so that a tensile force is exerted on the paper web as soon as it comes between the pair of tearing rollers 20, 21 due to the counter-holding by the platen roller 10 and feed caterpillar 9. This tensile force, supported by the separating device 18, causes the paper web to tear at the transverse perforation. A double cone is provided as a separating device 18 or tear aid, which projects with its largest diameter into the center of the paper web and consequently tears the perforation from the center towards both sides.

Der so entstandene Einzelbeleg wird nun vom Reisswalzenpaar 20, 21 in ein Sammelfach 22 transportiert. Eine der beiden im Sammelfach 22 vorgesehenen oberen Papierführungselemente 23, 24 ist aufklappbar und gibt damit die Möglichkeit, einen eventuellen Papierstau zu beseitigen. Im Sammelfach 22 sind zwei Sperrfinger 25 vorgesehen, die das Herausrutschen der Einzelbelege in ein nachfolgendes Ausgabefach 26 so lange verhindern, bis alle für den jeweiligen Benutzer bestimmten Einzelbelege, beispielsweise Kontoauszüge gedruckt und im Sammelfach 22 gestapelt sind. Die Lichtschranke 27 kontrolliert den Transport durch die Reisswalzen 20, 21 und das Trennen bzw. Vereinzeln der Belege bzw. Formulare. Nach Hochschwenken der Sperrfinger 25 rutschen alle im Sammelfach 22 vorhandenen Belege, beispielsweise Kontoauszüge auf einer als Wippe gelagerten Auflagefläche 28 in das Ausgabefach 26 und werden dort durch zwei Bremsfedern 29 am Herausfallen gehindert. Für die Entnahme durch die Hand des Benutzers ist die Wippe mit einer Griffmulde 30 versehen und das Ausgabefach mit einem Gehäusedurchbruch vergrössert. Letzterer ermöglicht auch eine Sichtkontrolle auf das Ausgabefach 26.The resulting single document is now transported by the pair of tear rollers 20, 21 into a collecting compartment 22. One of the two upper paper guide elements 23, 24 provided in the collecting compartment 22 can be opened and thus gives the possibility of eliminating a possible paper jam. Two blocking fingers 25 are provided in the collecting compartment 22, which prevent the individual receipts from slipping out into a subsequent output compartment 26 until all the individual receipts intended for the respective user, for example account statements, have been printed and stacked in the collecting compartment 22. The light barrier 27 controls the transport through the tearing rollers 20, 21 and the separation or separation of the documents or forms. After swiveling the locking fingers 25, all the receipts present in the collecting compartment 22, for example account statements on a support surface 28 mounted as a seesaw, slide into the output compartment 26 and are prevented from falling out there by two brake springs 29. For removal by the user's hand, the rocker is provided with a recessed grip 30 and the output compartment is enlarged with a housing opening. The latter also enables a visual inspection of the output tray 26.

Bei der Entnahme werden die Belege bzw. Kontoauszüge gegen den Widerstand der Bremsfedern 29 von Hand aus dem Ausgabefach 26 gezogen. Für den Fall, dass die Belege nicht rechtzeitig entnommen werden, erfolgt aus Gründen des Datenschutzes ein Weitertransport in ein von aussen nicht zugängliches Ablagefach 31. Zu diesem Zweck wird die Wippe über einen Kniehebelmechanismus um die Drehachse 32 geschwenkt, wobei die Belege nach Freigabe durch die Bremsfedern 29 aufgrund der Schwerkraft in das darunterliegende Ablagefach 31 fallen. Von dort können sie nach Öffnen des Gehäusedeckels 1 durch das Wartungspersonal entnommen werden.When removing the documents or account statements against the resistance of the brake springs 29 are pulled by hand from the output compartment 26. In the event that the receipts are not removed in time, for reasons of data protection, they are transported further into a storage compartment 31 that is not accessible from the outside. For this purpose, the rocker is pivoted about the axis of rotation 32 via a toggle lever mechanism, the receipts being released by the Brake springs 29 fall into the underlying storage compartment 31 due to gravity. From there they can be removed by the maintenance personnel after opening the housing cover 1.

Über die im Ausgabefach 26 vorgesehene Lichtschranke 33 wird das Herausrutschen der Belege in das Ausgabefach 26 nach dem Öffnen der Sperrfinger 25, ferner das Entnehmen der Belege durch den Kunden und schliesslich der Zustand kontrolliert, ob nach Abschwenken der Wippe und Rückkehr in die Ausgangsstellung das Ausgabefach frei von Papier ist.Via the light barrier 33 provided in the output compartment 26, the slipping out of the documents into the output compartment 26 after the blocking fingers 25 have been opened, the removal of the documents by the customer and finally the condition are checked whether the output compartment after swiveling the rocker and returning to the starting position is free of paper.

Durch den in der Ausgabestellung gestreckten Kniehebel wird das Schwenken der Wippe blokkiert. Damit wird das Zurückschwenken der Wippe von aussen und damit ein Zugriff in das Ablagefach verhindert. Der Kniehebel wird durch eine Rückholfeder und einen am Gestelloberteil 6 befestigten Anschlag in einer gestreckten Lage gehalten. Mit Hilfe eines Elektromagneten wird er schliesslich wieder in seine Ausgangslage zurückgeschwenkt. Die unterhalb der Wippe am Gestelloberteil 6 vorgesehene Lichtschranke 34 ist auf die Papierführung unmittelbar vor den Vorschubraupen 9 gerichtet und meldet ein eventuelles Ende der Papierbahn an die Steuerung des Gerätes.The pivoting of the rocker is blocked by the toggle lever extended in the delivery position. This prevents the rocker from swinging back from the outside and thus prevents access to the storage compartment. The toggle lever is held in an extended position by a return spring and a stop attached to the upper frame part 6. With the help of an electromagnet, it is finally pivoted back into its original position. The light barrier 34 provided below the rocker on the upper frame part 6 is directed at the paper guide immediately in front of the feed beads 9 and reports a possible end of the paper web to the control of the device.
