Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electrically operated consumption module for Insertion in a holder of an electronic device, in particular a Ink cartridge for the printing device of a franking machine, with a Consumption device, associated electrical connection elements, the Contact elements for connecting the consumption module with a Have consumption module control of the device, and a for Interaction with the holder provided projection to prevent the Inserting in different types of holders.
- Replaceable ink cartridges for printing devices such as simple Office printer, usually consisting of a consumer device in the form a printhead and an associated ink reservoir. Is the ink cartridge inserted into the corresponding holder of the printer, so is the print head connected via the electrical connection elements with the printer control, which drives the individual printing elements of the print head for printing.
- Such ink cartridges usually have a special geometric Design on, which ensures that the ink cartridge only in the brackets such printer can be used, for which provided the ink cartridge is.
- the above-mentioned projections find their use to ensure that the ink cartridge in question only in one as appropriate Counterpart trained holder can be used.
- Postage meters produce the franking imprint on the letter to be sent or mailpiece usually with special, usually not in the open market available ink.
- This ink usually has a special color as well as often special fluorescence or other properties. This serves on the one hand and to the letter carrier the fast machine processing of large quantities by post the use of such the recognition performance optical To facilitate collection systems of increasing ink.
- Another purpose of Use of such special ink is the forgery of franking imprints complicate using conventional office printers.
- EP 0 875 861 A2 relates to a Postage meter with a replaceable Door tents without electrical control.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object, a consumption module to provide the type mentioned, which reliably the Use of the consumption module in a device not provided with similar Holder prevented.
- This task is based on a consumption module according to the The preamble of claim 1 by the characterizing part of claim 1 specified characteristics solved.
- the present invention is based on the technical teaching that the Use of the consumption module in a device not provided for this purpose with a similar holder Reliable can be prevented by the connection elements such trained and assigned to the projection that they are at Removing the projection will be at least partially destroyed. This is in easily ensured that when removing the projection the Supply lines between the consumption module control and the Consumption of the consumption module are at least partially capped and so that the proper operation of the consumption module after removal of the Protrusion is prevented.
- connection elements can this example, according to the Be mechanically connected so that they are destroyed or damaged, as soon as it is removed from the consumption module.
- the design and additionally or alternatively, the arrangement of the connection elements can be so be chosen that they are already trying to remove the lead be affected accordingly. This is merely to ensure that the Strain, which on the projection usually in normal operation, ie at its normal handling and when inserting into the associated holder acting, nor to any destruction or impairment of the connection elements to lead.
- connection elements at least partially in sections run on or in the projection. hereby is easily ensured that the relevant connection elements actually be destroyed when removing the projection.
- the consumption module according to the invention provided that the Connection elements at least partially in the region of the projection in such a way are arranged that leading to the projection and the projection weglocationden sections of the connecting elements one opposite the rectilinear Assignment swapped assignment exists.
- connection elements are embedded in at least one conductive foil and the Projection is assigned to the conductor foil such that the conductor foil during unauthorized removal of the projection with at least partial destruction of the Connecting elements is damaged.
- the projection may for example be designed so that it the conductor foil completely or partially encompassing the inclusion of at least one connection element, so that the conductor foil and thus the connecting element when removing the Protrusion damaged, for example, is torn.
- the lead at least partially firmly connected to the conductor foil. This can For example, be realized simply by the fact that the projection at least Partially glued or welded to the conductor foil.
- a memory device for storing consumption module related Information provided.
- This can, for example, a Serial number and other identification information regarding the Consumption module and / or contained in the consumption module Be consumption medium.
- consumption related information be stored, for example, an already removed amount of Consumption reproducing information.
- the invention can be used in connection with any consumption modules make sure that they are not in connection with devices are used, for which they are not intended. Particularly advantageous As mentioned above, the invention relates to franking machines use by the consumption module as an ink cartridge for a postage meter is trained.
- the present invention further relates to an electronic device, in particular a franking machine, with a consumption module according to one of previous claims.
- Figure 1 shows a schematic partial section through an ink cartridge 1, which in the therefor provided holder 2 a franking machine sits.
- the ink cartridge 1 has in a conductor foil 3 made of electrically insulating plastic embedded, electrically conductive first and second line sections 4 and 5.
- the first line sections 4 are at one end with contact elements. 6 provided to contact the state shown resilient contacts 7 conductive, which in turn connected to a printer controller 8 of the franking machine.
- the Second line sections 5 are at one end with a Verbrauchseincichtung the ink cartridge 1 in the form of a - schematically indicated - Printhead 9 connected. This printhead will be over - also just schematically indicated - ink reservoir 10 supplied with ink.
- a projection in the form of a nose 11 is arranged, whose End face 11.1 to 11.3 with a shoulder 12 and a bolt 13 of the holder. 2 cooperates to fix the ink cartridge 1 in the holder 2. It understands itself that with other variants still further or other mechanisms for the Fixation of the ink cartridge may be provided, not with the nose interact.
- third line sections 14 which an electrically conductive Connection between the first line sections 4 and the second Make line sections 5 by a first contact portion 15 of the first line sections 4 and a second contact section 16 of the second Contact line sections 5.
- the first, second and third line sections 4, 5 and 14 together form the electrical connection elements of the ink cartridge 1. Is trying to nose 11, for example, by breaking down or down sawing etc. of the housing 1.1 to remove the ink cartridge 1, while the third line sections 14th damaged or the contact between the first line sections 4 and the second line sections 5 interrupted. This will in other words the relevant connection elements destroyed, and the ink cartridge 1 can thus no longer be operated.
- connection elements In the example shown run into the third line sections 14 and thus a Part of the connection elements inside the nose 1.1. It is understood, however, that in other variants, the connection elements also run outside on the nose can. For example, it is possible that the conductor foil with one piece trained connecting elements outside of the nose runs.
- the nose 11 is an anchoring means in the form of an anchoring pin 17 in a recess in the form of a bore 18 in the housing 1.1 of the ink cartridge. 1 anchored.
- This anchorage carries the major part of the mechanical loads, which are introduced via the fixing 12, 13 in the ink cartridge. This is made sure that the contact between the first and third Performance sections 4 and 14 or between the second and third Line sections 5 and 14 is not affected during normal operation.
- a counterfeiter the one tapped at the contacts 7 recording the Control signal sequences for the printhead 9 has, with which a franking imprint could be generated thanks to the described permutation of the printhead.
- the ink cartridge in other variants be designed can, in particular the nose can be arranged so that a tapping of the Control signals to the second line sections is not possible. This can For example, it can be achieved simply by keeping the nose in one area is arranged, in which the second line sections are no longer freely accessible the surface of the ink cartridge lie.
- connection elements Commonly used ink cartridges have a significantly higher number of connection elements. Depending on the number the connection elements involved in the interchange arise different possibilities of variation of the exchange.
- Connection elements are n! Possibilities of permutation, so that's it with a relatively small number of connection elements a sufficiently large Number of permutations results to each ink cartridge of one type to be provided with an individual commutation pattern.
- the nose 11 furthermore contains a storage device embedded in the form of a chip 19, which according to the first and third Line sections formed - not shown - connections with the Printer controller 8 is connected and so read from this and in addition or Alternatively, it can be described.
- this chip 15 are next to one Serial number of the ink cartridge 1 and other encrypted information to identify and authenticate the ink cartridge when or after Inserting the ink cartridge can be queried in the postage meter, including the type and an expiration date of the ink stored in the ink reservoir 10.
- an area of the chip 19 by the printer controller 8 with information in terms of the level of the ink reservoir 10 will be described. All these Information is added in the area of the franking machine in the broadest sense used to ensure the proper operation of the franking machine.
- the chip 19 contains information regarding the above Assignment of the first and second line sections 4 and 5, therefore one Information regarding the assignment of the areas of the connecting elements before and after the nose 11. This can then be read by the printer control 8 and then taken into account during activation. This allows the Ink cartridge 1 with the above-mentioned individual assignment interchanges to further reduce the probability of fraud.
- FIGS 3 and 4 show schematic partial sections through a further preferred Embodiment of the consumption module according to the invention in the form of an ink cartridge 1 'for a franking machine.
- the integrally formed connecting elements 20 also embedded in a conductor foil 3 ', which on the surface 1.2' of the Housing 1.1 'of the ink cartridge 1' is attached.
- a nose 11' Over a section of the Printed foil 3 'sits a nose 11', which ensures that the ink cartridge 1 'only in a dedicated holder of an associated franking machine can be used.
- the nose 11 ' is glued to the conductor foil 3'.
- the bonding is like this designed so that their strength over the strength of the conductor foil 3 ', at least but above the strength of the connection elements 20 is.
- the conductor foil 3 'remains thus adhere to the nose 11 'when removing the nose 11' of the ink cartridge 1 ' and the conductor foil 3 'or the connection elements 20 are then reached tension above the relevant strength limit is damaged or destroyed.
- the conductor foil 3 'in Area of the nose 11 'not attached to the housing 1.1' so they when removing the nose 11 'from the housing 1.1' without resistance from the housing 1.1 'lifts. This arise just in the areas of the conductor foil 3 ', between the Are areas that are connected to the nose or the housing, especially high voltages, so it quickly here to the described damage or Destruction is coming.
- the conductor foil and the connecting elements can also be used in other variants the area covered by the nose in terms of their mechanical strength be appropriately weakened to make sure they are already at a relatively easy lifting or removing the nose destroyed by the housing become. It is further understood that instead of the described bonding also another type of correspondingly strong connection, for example one Welding can be chosen.
- the lug 11 ' projects laterally beyond the conductor foil 3' and is there via anchors 17 'in corresponding recesses in the housing 1.1 'anchored.
- anchorages carry, as already in the execution Figure 1, the main part of the mechanical loads in normal operation on the nose 11 'act. This ensures that the conductor foil 3 'or the Connection elements 20 in normal operation or normal handling not be affected.
- FIG. 5 shows a schematic partial section through a further preferred one Embodiment, which in its basic structure that of Figure 3 and 4 are similar, so here only discussed the differences shall be.
- connection elements are not necessarily in must be embedded in the described conductor foils. They are just as good be embedded or arranged directly in the housing of the consumption module.
