Terminal for input or output of data

description

The invention relates to a terminal for inputting and outputting data, comprising a signal processing unit, which is connected to a printer unit, and a paper receiving unit, wherein the printer unit is a paper transport unit

is downstream, which leads to the paper receiving unit.

Terminals for the interactive exchange of information and data are now widely used in everyday life. Whether in retail, at airports or in finance, everywhere there is the possibility of doing business transactions on IT equipment in

Areas of public life. The terminals have a screen which is designed as a touch screen, by means of which a user interacts with the terminal. The commands entered by the user are processed by a signal processing unit, in particular a microprocessor. In many cases, the use of a printer unit is necessary, by means of which of the

Signal processing unit specific information and data are output to the user in paper form. Frequently, however, the printed data in paper form are not removed from the printer unit, which is for privacy reasons

undesirable because uninvolved persons gain access to information that is not intended for them.

It is known that these unused, issued by the printer unit

Expressions are fed to a paper processing plant, in which a reprinting of the expression takes place. The printout is fed back into the printer unit and rendered illegible. However, this so-called "Blackener solution" is only possible by means of a thermal printer, which is used in the terminal and blackened the reclaimed paper. The invention is thus based on the object of specifying a terminal for inputting and outputting data, which permits a paper pick-up when using different types of printer units and a data protection-appropriate disposal of documents not removed from the printer unit.

According to the invention, the object is achieved in that the paper receiving unit is designed as a paper destruction unit. The paper transport unit is used for the targeted feeding and steering of the paper not taken out of the printer unit to the paper receiving unit designed as a paper destruction unit. This has the advantage that the paper, which has already been destroyed for privacy reasons, is collected inaccessibly from the outside in the paper receiving unit. When the closed paper receiving unit is filled, the shredded paper contained therein is removed. That the

Paper receiving unit supplied paper is destroyed by the paper receiving unit itself privacy. Such a device is for the

various printer types applicable.

Advantageously, the paper transport unit is designed as a paper guide, which is connected directly to the paper receiving unit and / or has a buffer area for the guided out of the printer unit paper. In such a

Paper guide is at least one baffle, which selectively supplies the paper to the paper receiving unit. The baffles direct the paper directly into the paper receiving unit, which is further processed by this. In which

Buffer area is a storage area in which the paper in front of the paper receiving unit, e.g. in a bow, can be stored. As a result, mechanical influences that are transmitted from the paper receiving unit to the printer unit can be prevented. By such mechanical influences, for example, vibrations are to be understood, which can be caused by the, designed as a paper shredding unit paper receiving unit in operation. The buffer area thus mechanically decouples the forces and the transport speed of the paper receiving unit from the printer unit.

In a development, the paper transport unit has at least one

Paper transfer unit for the out of the printer unit led paper, which consists of two mutually rotating roles, between which the paper is transportable, wherein the buffer area before and / or after a

Paper receiving unit or between two paper receiving units is arranged. By means of this paper transfer unit, the speed with which the paper leaves the printer unit can be compared with the speed of the paper receiving unit corrected or adjusted. This correction or adjustment reliably prevents paper jams at the paper receiving unit.

In one variant, the paper transport unit has two with different

Speed-promoting paper transfer units, which are arranged one behind the other, wherein the two roles of, the printer unit after ordered first paper transfer unit have a different diameter than the roles of, the paper receiving unit before stored second paper take-up unit. In this case, the, the printer unit to parent paper transfer unit operated at the speed of the printer unit, while the paper transfer unit, directly the

Paper receiving unit is upstream, with the speed of

Paper receiving unit can be operated. This simple design ensures that the paper sheets, which are not removed, automatically fed to the paper receiving unit and there crushed or made unrecognizable. Due to the different design of the diameters of the rollers, the speed of the paper emerging from the printer unit is adapted to the speed of the paper receiving unit in a very simple manner. By forming a buffer area in front of the paper receiving unit, the paper is stored intermediately in this buffer area before it can be fed to the paper receiving unit. This is particularly advantageous when the paper receiving unit with a lower

Speed works as the printer unit. This reliably prevents a paper jam.

In a simple embodiment, the paper take-up unit rolls and / or the paper take-out unit are driven by a common motor or motors, the paper feed unit being equipped with a paper speed control unit which adjusts the speed of the motors to each other and to the output speed of the printer unit. The fact that the individual motors are controlled by the paper speed control unit ensures that the paper is moved through the terminal without jamming. In this case, can be dispensed with a paper take-up unit, wherein the paper transport unit is driven by the paper speed control unit. In the simplest case, as the paper speed control unit, the printer unit itself, if the speed is controllable or a microprocessor controlling the paper receiving unit, is used. If the printer's own engine is suitable for this purpose, it can additionally be coupled to the paper transport unit or the paper receiving unit. The coupling can be done for example via a freewheel, so that the paper shredding unit runs along only in reverse of the printer unit. By the shared use of the printer engine so another engine can be saved. Thus, the use of additional electronic devices can be dispensed with, which simplifies the construction of the terminal and reduces costs. In one embodiment, the paper receiving unit is arranged above or below the printer unit, suspended, without being directly connected to the printer unit, wherein preferably the guided out of the printer unit paper by the paper transport unit by any angle, in particular by 90 °, is reversible. This makes the terminal very compact and space-saving. The arrangement of the paper receiving unit above the printer unit is particularly advantageous when using laser printer units, since the

Laser printer in the manner as it is commercially available, without further

Adaptation can be installed in the terminal and upgraded with the paper receiving unit. This eliminates additional costs for other components.

Advantageously, the paper transport unit directs the guided out of the printer unit paper via a deflection mechanism in a paper removal unit, which is monitored by a sensor, wherein the deflection mechanism is preferably designed as a switch. The paper is fed out of the laser printer unit in the usual way. At this time, the paper is fed from the laser printer unit at an adapted speed from the paper transport unit as a deflection mechanism

accepted. The sensor monitors whether the paper has been removed by the user or whether the paper remains in the extraction unit. In one embodiment, a motor transported in a detected by the sensor non-removal of the paper from the paper removal unit in the opposite direction, whereby the paper is fed via the diverter mechanism designed as a diverter of the paper receiving unit. For this process, only one motor, which can be controlled in two directions, is required in order to be able to move the paper transport unit in two opposite directions. Thus, no additional electronics are necessary in the case of feeding back the paper remaining in the horizontal paper picking unit and the transport into the paper pickup unit.

Advantageously, the Papiervemichtungseinheit downstream of a paper receptacle for receiving paper particles, which are generated by the paper destruction unit. This paper container takes that through the

Paper shredder unclarified or shredded paper arranged on and allows the terminal with the described printer unit a longer Period without having to dispose of the uncleaned paper delivered by the paper shredding unit.

In a variant, a signaling device for indicating the presence of the paper receiving container and / or the closed is at least one

Maintenance flap available. Thus, a power supply to the paper shredding unit is prevented when the paper container is not arranged in the desired position. For variants with a maintenance flap, it is arranged so that it is neither opened with the paper receptacle inserted, nor without

Paper receptacle can be closed. This ensures that the power supply is always interrupted when the maintenance cover is open. Alternatively, a second signal device is provided which detects the closed state of the maintenance flap. The level of the paper container is monitored by an electronic counter or a level sensor.

In a further development, the paper removal unit has a part-limited freewheel mechanism, which allows to pull the paper without resistance by a certain amount from the paper removal unit, wherein the

Paper removal unit is in particular connected to a sheet removal sensor, which detects the movement of the freewheel mechanism and triggers an output of the paper.

In one embodiment, there is a collection bag on the paper destruction unit, which also shields the paper container. This collection bag is designed so that it receives paper particles that can fall down during maintenance, during shredding or when changing the paper receptacle.

The invention allows numerous embodiments. Two of these will be explained in more detail with reference to the figures shown in the drawing.

Identical features are identified by the same reference numerals. A data or information issuing terminal consists of a housing, in which a screen for communication with a user is embedded. In a signal processing unit, the commands entered by the user via the screen are edited and the results are forwarded to a printer unit which prints the results and places them in a paper receiving unit. The paper receiving unit according to the invention comprises in a first embodiment, a shredder module and, before this stored, mechanically and electronically coupled thereto

Paper transport module on. This paper receiving unit is in turn mechanically connected to the printer unit, wherein the printer unit and the paper receiving unit can be synchronized with each other via software. The individual components of the basic system have a modular structure, so that they can be combined with one another as desired and thus meet a wide variety of requirements. The paper position is queried by sensors throughout the system. FIG. 1 shows a paper receiving unit 1 designed as a paper destruction unit, which is preferably suitable for connection to a thermal printer and to which a paper transport unit in the form of a guide plate 7 is provided in advance. At the shredder 2, a circuit board 3 is arranged with a microprocessor, which takes over the control and regulation of the paper receiving unit 1. At the output of the shredder 2, a waste container 4 for the output from the shredder 2 paper is present, which has a viewing window 5. A sheet of paper 6, which is output from a printer unit, not shown, is fed to the shredder 2 via a guide plate 7. In front of the guide plate 7, a first sensor 8 is arranged, which activates a motor 9 of the shredder 2 when the paper 6 passes through the sensor 8 and engages in the guide plate 7. The shredder 2 is switched off again when a second sensor 10 determines that no sheet of paper 6 is more on the guide plate 7. The guide plate 7 directs the paper 6 directly to the shredder 2, which has an intermediate buffer, not shown, in which the paper 6 can be stored in front of the shredder 2 in an arc. In this first embodiment is no

Decoupling of the paper speed between shredder 2 and printer unit provided.

According to Figure 2, the paper receiving unit 1 in turn on a shredder 2, which is operated by the circuit board 3 with microprocessor. Again, 6 Papierleitbleche 7 are available for receiving the paper. Between the paper guide 7 and the

Shredder 2 is a pair of rollers 1 1 arranged. This roller pair 1 1 has the task of receiving the sheet of paper 6 and thus forms together with the baffle 7 the

Paper transport unit. This is done by two opposing and not shown rollers of the roller pair 11 are moved against each other via the motor 9, whereby the sheet of paper 6 between the two rollers of the roller pair eleventh

passed and directly fed to the shredder 2. By this pair of rollers 1 1 mechanical influences retroactively avoided by the shredder 2 on the not shown, designed as a thermal printer printer unit 18. In the shredder type used in FIG. 2, the paper 6 is not only cut into strips, but can also be comminuted into a certain length of individual pieces.

FIG. 3 shows a paper receiving unit 1, in which the formation of the

Paper transport unit the first, consisting of the rollers 16a, 16b pair of rollers 11 to take over the paper 6, a second pair of rollers 13 is arranged downstream. The second pair of rollers 13 also consists of two oppositely mounted rollers 17a, 17b, between which the paper 6 is moved. The sheet of paper 6 is thereby coming from the designed as a thermal printer printer unit in the direction baffle. 7 pushed, which is funnel-like designed to accommodate the paper 6 better. In order to prevent the paper takeover unit 11, 13 from mechanically influencing the thermal printer, the first pair of rollers 1 runs slightly slower than the printer unit, so that no tensile forces arise which can be transferred to the thermal printer. However, this leads to a slight compression of the paper 6 between the printer unit and the first pair of rollers 1. In order to avoid wrinkling or a paper jam at this point, a buffer area 14 is formed there, which allows the paper 6 to wave wavy instead of buckling. Another buffer area 15 is arranged between the first pair of rollers 11 and a second pair of rollers 13, which fulfills the same function as the buffer area 14. The rollers 16a, 16b of the pair of rollers 11 have a larger circumference than the rollers 17a, 17b of the subsequent roller pair 13, which transfers the paper 6 directly to the shredder 2 (Figure 4). As a result of these different diameters, the transport speed of the paper 6 is significantly reduced before the paper 6 is passed into the shredder 2.

In addition, the paper 6 is intermediately stored between the transfer positions printer unit and first roller pair 11 and first roller pair 11 and second roller pair 13 in the respective paper buffer area 14 and 15, respectively, to prevent jamming. The smaller rollers 17a, 17b of the second roller pair 13 transport the paper 6 at the same or rather slightly slower speed than the shredder 2 destroys the paper 6 in order to avoid paper compression. Also in this embodiment, each roller 16a, 16b; 17a, 17b of the pair of rollers 11, 13 are driven directly via the motor 9 to prevent slippage at the start of the rollers 16a, 16b; 17a, 17b to avoid. The motor 9 is connected directly to a transmission in order to achieve the least possible friction losses, since for crushing the papers 6 a larger force is needed. Through the paper buffer areas 14 and 15, an independence of the speed of the printer unit is achieved during transport of the paper 6. FIG. 4 shows a sectional view of the paper transport unit according to FIG. 3. The rubberized rollers 16a, 16b of the first roller pair 11 and 17a, 17b of the second roller pair 13 can be seen. The rollers 16a, 16b; 17a, 17b of each pair of rollers 11 and 13 are opposite each other and are driven in opposite directions by the motor 9 in their movement. The sheet of paper 6, which is fed via the baffle 7 of the paper receiving unit 1, is detected by the sensor 8, which detects that the paper 6 is supplied. When a sheet of paper 6 is fed, the sensor 8 outputs a signal.

Thereafter, the rollers 16a, 16b; 17a, 17b the paper 6 and forward it to the shredder 2, which is also operated by the motor 9. Since the rollers 16a, 16b of the first Roller pair 1 1 have a larger diameter than the rollers 17a, 17b of the second pair of rollers 13, the transport speed of the paper 6, coming from the thermal printer designed as a printer unit, the speed of the shredder 2 adapted. The rollers 16a, 16b tend to promote; 17a, 17b then a bit slower than Shredder 2.

As can be seen from FIG. 5, the paper receiving unit 1, which according to FIG. 6 forms a structural unit of paper transport unit 21 and shredder 2, is arranged suspended below the printing unit 8 designed as a thermal printer in the terminal. The printer unit 18 is disposed downstream of a roll of thermal paper 19. The printer unit 18 and the paper receiving unit 1 are attached to a door 20 of the terminal, which is not shown further attached. You can thus swing at any time when you open the door 20, the level of the storage container 4 can be monitored through the viewing window 5 and possibly emptied, which is why in the terminal housing no waste.

The paper receiving unit 1 including paper transport unit 21 is shown in detail in Figures 6 and 7 in a front view and a section through a side view.

In a further embodiment, which is shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a laser printer is used as the printer unit 18, on which the paper transport unit 21 with the shredder 2 is placed. The paper transport unit 21 consists of several pairs of rollers, each with the same size rollers, which decoupling the

Speed of Paper 6 from Shredder 2 vs. Speed of

Ensure paper 6 in the printer unit 18. Between the pairs of rollers 26 and 27 of the paper transport unit 21, a rigid deflection device is arranged. If the paper 6 is not removed, a non-illustrated additional motor is driven by a signal from the sensor 24, which the paper 6 through the

Deflection mechanism 22 conveys, whereby it is deflected by 90 °. Because the

Diverter 22 the paper 6 blocks the way to the printer unit 18, which is in the horizontal paper removal unit 23 located paper 6 to the shredder 2 fed (Figure 10). The paper 6 transporting motor can be operated for this purpose in two directions.

But the deflection can also be designed as a spring-loaded switch. This switch is pushed away from the paper 6, if the paper 6 of the

Printer unit 18 is coming. If the paper 6 has passed the switch, the switch bounces back and thus blocks the way back to the printer unit 18 or points the way to the Shredder. 2

Alternatively, in FIG. 11, a switch 25 is designed without a spring in such a way that, due to its inherent rigidity, the paper 6 finds its way to the shredder 2. FIG. 1a shows the structure of the switch device, while FIG. 1b illustrates the movement of the sheet of paper in more detail. The paper 6, which is output from the printer unit 18 (input E), is fed via baffles 7 of the switch 25. Due to the geometry of the switch 25, the sheet of paper 6 is pivoted on further feed by an angle of less than 90 ° and in the direction of output A to the paper removal unit 23rd

transported. In this case, the sheet of paper 6 is guided by further baffles 7a, which extend approximately horizontally between the output A and the shredder 2. The sheet of paper 6 is transported until the end of the sheet a

Vertex S happens, which is detected by the sensor 24, which is formed for example as a light barrier. If the sensor 24 detects the end of the sheet of paper 6, the sheet of paper 6 in the horizontal not shown

Paper picking device 23 stopped and the user can remove the sheet of paper 6 from the terminal. If the user does not take the sheet of paper 6, the sheet of paper 6 is conveyed in the opposite direction. The inherent rigidity of the paper keeps this sheet of paper 6 in an approximately horizontal position, even if it is the

Vertex S of the output A and thus the switch 25 happens, Thus, the sheet of paper 6 is threaded above the switch 25 and between the baffles 7a in

Direction of the shredder 2 forwarded. The thus executed as a sheet removal sensor sensor 24 registered while the

rotational movement of the rollers 33a, 33b of the roller pair 33 (FIG. 10). This movement is triggered when the user of the terminal pulls on the paper 6 presented to him to remove it. The rollers 33a, 33b of the roller pair 33 are mechanically rigidly coupled via a belt and gear transmission 12 to the motor 9, whereby on the sheet of paper 6, a relatively high resistance to tensile forces.

In order to still allow the train movements to be registered by the user without this adversely affecting the holding force of the rollers 33a, b of the roller pair 33, a partially limited freewheel for the rollers 33a, b of the roller pair 33 is provided, which in conjunction with FIG should be explained. The two rollers 33a, 33b of the roller pair 33, the printed paper 6 at

Presenting to the user still hold on, can be by a defined amount to a belt of the rigidly connected to the motor 9 belt and

Turn gear drive 12. A pulley 29 forms an interface, which is freely rotatable via a ball bearing 30 on the lower roller 33 b. For the sake of clarity, only the axis 33c of the roller 33b is shown in FIG. The

Pulley 29 has a driver 34 on the one stop 31 has. On the axis 33c of the roller 33b, a driver 32 is rigidly fixed, on which two

Stop bolts 35 protrude. The axis 33c can now rotate a section until the stop pin 35 of the driver 32 abuts against the stop 31. Is that

Stop bolt of the driver 32 to the stop 31, there is again

Frictional connection to the belt and gear drive 12 and the motor 9. The freewheel allows a defined game, so that the rollers 33 can rotate smoothly by a certain value and the sheet of paper 6 can thus easily pull. The path of the paper 6 is only a few millimeters, but this is sufficient to actuate the sensor 24. When the sensor 24 is triggered, the motor 9 starts up and transports the whole paper 6 completely out so that the user can take out the flat paper 6.

As can be seen from FIG. 13, the printer unit 18 in the form of a laser printer is fixedly arranged in the terminal housing on the terminal base 28, while the

Paper transport unit 21 and the shredder 2 as a unit on the door 20 of the

Terminals are attached. Thus, the paper transport unit 21 and the shredder 2 can be swung out anytime when opening the door 20 of the terminal. Alternatively, the entire unit can be connected in the housing of the terminal and, for example, together with the printer unit 18 on a common

Telescopic extension be moved out to ensure accessibility.

In a continuation of the accessibility for maintenance of the shredder 2 and the printer unit 8 is achieved in that the floating over the printer unit 18 transport and shredder unit 2 can be pivoted upwards.

The use of a shredder 2 in the paper receiving unit 1 is particularly advantageous because the paper quality can be almost arbitrary. So it is not, as for thermal printers with Blackener solution a special thermal paper needed. Furthermore, the quality of paper shredding can be determined in the case of a shredder according to DIN 32757-1. Thus, the suitability for each application can be checked. To prevent friction throughout the system over the life of Shredder 2, all rollers and shafts of Shredder 2 are operated with ball bearings. This Shredder 2 is used for the privacy-protected destruction of printed documents. In the described embodiments, the complete mechanics, concerning the

Paper transport means 7, 11, 13, 21 and the shredder 2 driven by only one motor 9. The shredder 2 thus always runs with. In a modification of it is at Shredder 2 a full-freewheel, so that driving forces only in one

Are transmitted in the direction of rotation and the shredder 2 accordingly runs along only when paper 6 is transported in the direction of the shredder 2. But it is also conceivable that two separately controlled motors are used, one of which drives only the shredder 2, while the other motor drives only the transport mechanism. The motor driving the shredder only runs when paper 6 is to be shredded. The speeds of the two motors are then to be controlled so that the

Transfer interface paper 6 between paper conveyor 7, 11, 13, 21 and Shredder 2 works optimally. In addition to the shredder unit or the storage unit, the unit has a

Papierübernahmemodul 2, which the paper directly from the output of

Printer unit 18 takes over and forwards via a buffer unit in the shredder unit. In addition to the paper destruction described with the help of a shredder 2, other paper shredding possibilities are conceivable. These exist once in the

Printing by means of a thermal transfer, the lamination of an opaque film or the blackening of the paper by means of a thermal line or roller. The terminal according to the invention has the advantage of the possible combination of

Printer unit with the paper transport unit to reduce the complexity of this arrangement. In addition, a transport unit is proposed, which can be used universally for common printing processes by means of laser, thermal or ink jet printer unit. In addition, this device has a mechanically robust design.
