Definitions

  • the invention relates to a franking machine with a print head attached to a machine main shaft, a drive for the machine main shaft to rotate the print head for at least one print cycle, type wheels rotatably mounted in the print head for value quantity printing, an electromechanical drive for each of the type wheels for adjustment a desired franking value, mechanical locking means for securing setting positions of actuators of the electromechanical drive, sensors for the delivery of position signals of the locking means to a central electronic control unit for controlling the respective electromechanical drive and a control panel with a keyboard for the arbitrary input of commands the control unit for setting the type wheels of the print head and with a display field for displaying the commands entered.
  • the invention has for its object to find a franking machine of the type mentioned, which is for the Setting the type wheels to a desired franking value amount can be operated more easily and quickly.
  • a command key (D-SET) is provided for programming the central electronic control unit, in such a way that a predetermined amount of franking value is assigned to at least one input key provided on the control panel, this input key also being a delete key for the one by it is the amount that can be entered, so that when you press it after you have entered it, the amount of the surcharge entered is deducted from the total amount of the entry.
  • the predetermined franking value amount can e.g. a frequently occurring basic amount of franking, but also a surcharge amount that is used for special types of shipping, e.g. "EXPRESS" is added to the basic amount set in the computer of the central electronic control unit via one or more other keys.
  • EXPRESS a surcharge amount that is used for special types of shipping
  • predetermined franking value amounts can also be carried out to input keys provided for the number input, which e.g. Enter keys of a decimal or numeric keyboard, so that these input keys, e.g. by means of the command key between the two operating modes, i.e. can be switched between entering individual numbers of a franking value amount and entering predetermined franking value amounts.
  • input keys provided for the number input which e.g. Enter keys of a decimal or numeric keyboard
  • a decimal keypad has the advantage that only a number of keys corresponding to the decimal places of the maximum franking value amount need be provided for entering any franking value amounts up to a maximum amount.
  • the input is made by pressing the respective decimal key several times or in cycles. For the setting of franking value amounts with a maximum of four digits are therefore for this only four buttons are to be provided on the control panel, whereas ten buttons are required with a ten-key pad.
  • An additional trigger button for a previously entered amount of value quantity can be avoided, so that the adjustment of the type wheels takes place without delay while the commands are being input via the decimal keyboard, in that the control unit issues control commands to the electromechanical drives without delay before the total franking value amount to be printed by the printhead exceeds the keyboard has been entered.
  • the setting on the print head is already completed and it can then be franked immediately.
  • the keys are preferably each arranged on the display panel (Dsiplay) such that each key is spatially assigned to the part of the display panel on which the decimal place to be set when it is entered in cycles.
  • the input via the additional keys can be reversed by actuating them again without the previously set one Basic amount must be entered again. This is possible by dividing the input into two input keys. The setting on the print head must be automatically reset to zero, but the setting of the basic amount is repeated automatically since this amount is retained in the memory of the central control unit.
  • buttons are preferably indicated by light-emitting diodes arranged next to them. This display disappears only after the corresponding surcharge key is pressed again, the previously entered surcharge amount being subtracted from the amount set in the print head. This process also appears in the display field, which shows the amount set in the print head.
  • the previous amount is automatically deleted, including an amount entered via an additional button and its associated light-emitting diode, so that the previous operation of a delete button is not necessary. If an incorrect key is pressed, the correct key is immediately corrected when the correct key is subsequently pressed.
  • An additional delete button is only required if the type wheels on the print head and the corresponding display on the display panel are to be set to zero. This can be desired, for example, in order to carry out a control print of the print head for checking the date setting on the franking head without consuming value quantities stored in the machine.
  • a franking machine of the type from which the invention is based and in particular its blocking means for securing setting positions and for preventing incorrect settings is known, for example, from CH-PS 669 056 (US Serial No. 256,070) and is described in more detail there.
  • the operation of the electromechanical drive of the type wheels is also described in more detail in US Pat. No. 4,520,725. The following description is therefore limited, with reference to these prior publications, to that part of the machine mechanics which is essential for understanding the present invention.
  • a drive plunger 4,4 ' provided for the respective decimal place performs a picking engagement movement as well as a pushing movement four times, so that the gear wheel 5 in constant engagement, in the machine main shaft 6 guided rack 7 against the force of a tension spring 8 shifts accordingly.
  • the plunger 4 two electromagnets 9 are provided, which receive their electrical impulses from a central control unit (FIGS. 6, 7).
  • the step-by-step rack movement is checked by feedback to the control unit via optical sensors 10, 11. These are arranged in the movement path of a latching pawl 12, which due to its resilient engagement with a drive toothing 13 of the respective rack 7 with each further movement by a tooth and thus each time a subsequent digit of the type wheel 2 is pivoted about an axis 14.
  • This latching pawl 12 also prevents, through its engagement, that the toothed rack 7 unintentionally moves back into its starting position by the force of its return spring 15.
  • the values set on the type wheels 2 are reset to zero, e.g. when the delete key CE is pressed on the control panel (Fig. 5) or a value input key (21-25) on the control panel is pressed again to correct it, by means of two drive magnets acting in parallel 9.9 'are excited simultaneously due to corresponding control signals from the control unit (FIGS. 6, 7), so that, together with the bracket 16, two release pawls 17, 18 mounted between the latches 12, 12', 12,, 12 ′′′ counter to the Force apart by a spring 19 like a scissors and thus move these latches out of engagement.
  • the tension springs 15 consequently pull the toothed racks 7 back into their starting position or zero position, and accordingly the type wheels 2 are turned back into their zero position.
  • the feedback of the zero positions to the central tax unit also takes place via the sensors 10, 11; 10 ', 11' since the pawls 12, 12 '12 ⁇ , 12 ′′′ rest in the corresponding position of the four racks 7 in an outwardly pivoted position on a toothless, raised part 20 of the rack, as shown in Fig.1.
  • the franking machine has according to the representations in Fig. 1 and 4 a pair of pawls 29, 30 surrounding the machine main shaft 6, which is held in engagement with a rectangular toothing (castle toothing) 32 of the toothed racks 7 by the force of a tension spring 31.
  • An electromagnet 33 moves the pair of pawls 29, 30 via a transmission lever 34 against the force of the tension spring 31, so that this electromagnet 33 receives current shortly before the power supply to a plunger magnet 9.9 ′ in order to engage the toothed racks 7 for their displacement temporarily in a new setting position.
  • the position of the pair of pawls 29, 30 is reported by an optical sensor 35 arranged in the path of movement of the transmission lever 34.
