Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Drucker zum Ausdruck eines Berichtes über von einem Tachographen aufgezeichnete Daten in einem Nutzfahrzeug mit einem Vorrat an Druckmedium, mit einer Medientransportvorrichtung, mittels derer Druckmedium in eine Ausgabetransportrichtung förderbar ist, mit einer Steuereinheit, welche mindestens die Medientransporteinrichtung steuert. Daneben ist ein Verfahren zur Steuerung eines Druckers vorgenannter Art Gegenstand der Erfindung.The invention relates to a printer for printing a report on recorded by a tachograph data in a commercial vehicle with a supply of pressure medium, with a media transport device by means of which print medium is conveyed in an output transport direction, with a control unit which controls at least the media transport device. In addition, a method for controlling a printer of the aforementioned type is the subject of the invention.

Aus der Deutschen Patentanmeldung DE 102 15 122 ist bereits ein derartiger Drucker bekannt. Üblicherweise sind diese Vorrichtungen kleinformatig ausgebildet, und das als Bandwickel in einem Druckvorrat gelagerte Druckmedium wird mittels eines Druckkopfes im Thermodruckverfahren mit einem Aufdruck versehen. Regelmäßig liegt das Druckmedium auch während Stillstandes an einer Andruckwalze an, die das Druckmedium zu dem Druckkopf führt. Wird ein Drucker, insbesondere der hier beschriebenen Art, längere Zeit nicht verwendet, kann unter Einwirkung der Luftfeuchtigkeit der Umgebung und der Temperaturschwankungen das Druckmedium mit Bauteilen, an denen es anliegt, eine adhäsive Verbindung eingehen, insbesondere verkleben. Besonders kritisch ist dieser Vorgang bei einem Drucker eines Tachographen in einem Nutzfahrzeug, wo sämtliche ungünstigen Faktoren, die den ungewollten Vorgang beschleunigen, vorliegen. Das Druckmedium ist an diesem Ort regelmäßig als für den Thermodruck geeignet ausgebildet, die Luftfeuchtigkeit ist bisweilen verhältnismäßig hoch und die Temperaturschwankungen sind außerordentlich breit. Die ungewollte Verklebung des Druckmediums mit Bauteilen, an denen dieses anliegt, mit beispielsweise einer Andruckwalze, führt bei einem Start des Druckers zur Ausgabe eines Ausdruckes nach längerem Stillstand zu einem Papierstau.From the German patent application DE 102 15 122 Already such a printer is known. Usually, these devices are formed in a small format, and the stored as a tape roll in a print supply printing medium is provided by means of a print head in the thermal printing process with an imprint. Regularly, the printing medium is also during standstill on a pressure roller, which leads the print medium to the print head. If a printer, in particular of the type described here, is not used for a long time, under the influence of the humidity of the environment and the temperature fluctuations, the printing medium can enter into an adhesive connection with components against which it is applied, in particular stick together. This process is particularly critical in a printer of a tachograph in a commercial vehicle, where all unfavorable factors that accelerate the unwanted process are present. The printing medium is formed at this location regularly as suitable for thermal printing, the humidity is sometimes relatively high and the temperature fluctuations are extremely wide. The unwanted sticking of the pressure medium with components, on which this is present, for example, with a pressure roller leads to a paper jam at a start of the printer to output a printout after a long standstill.

Ausgehend von den geschilderten Problemen hat es sich die Erfindung zur Aufgabe gemacht, Aufstauungen von Druckmedium in einem Drucker nach längerer Stillstandszeit zu vermeiden.Based on the described problems, the invention has taken on the task of avoiding accumulation of print media in a printer after a prolonged downtime.

Zur Lösung der Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, dass die Steuereinheit eines Druckers der eingangs genannten Art derart ausgebildet ist, dass sie die Medientransporteinrichtung in der Weise ansteuert, dass die Medientransporteinrichtung in periodischen Abständen einen Ruhezustandstransport durchführt, binnen dessen auch ohne das Vorliegen eines Druckauftrages die Medientransporteinrichtung das Druckmedium in und/oder gegen eine Ausgabetransportrichtung transportiert. Daneben wird zur Lösung ein Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art vorgeschlagen, bei welchem eine Medientransporteinrichtung in periodischen Abständen während eines Ruhezustandstransportes auch ohne einen Druckauftrag das Druckmedium in und/oder gegen eine Ausgabetransportrichtung transportiert wird.To achieve the object, the invention proposes that the control unit of a printer of the type mentioned above is designed such that it controls the media transport device in such a manner that the media transport device carries out a quiescent transport at periodic intervals, even without the presence of a print job, the media transport device transported the print medium in and / or against an output transport direction. In addition, a method of the aforementioned type is proposed for the solution in which a media transport device is transported at periodic intervals during a rest state transport even without a print job, the print medium in and / or against an output transport direction.

Der erfindungsgemäße Ruhezustandstransport in periodischen Abständen verhindert wirkungsvoll die Bildung einer adhäsiven Verbindung bzw. das Verkleben des Druckmediums mit Bauteilen, die mit dem Druckmedium in Kontakt stehen. Diese Ursache eines Papierstaus ist somit wirkungsvoll beseitigt.The quiescent state transport according to the invention at periodic intervals effectively prevents the formation of an adhesive connection or the sticking of the pressure medium with components which are in contact with the pressure medium. This cause of a paper jam is thus effectively eliminated.

Eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass der Förderweg des Ruhezustandtransportes des Druckmediums in einer Richtung zwischen 0,5 mm und 30 mm beträgt. Als besonders zweckmäßig hat sich ein Vorschub des Druckmediums um etwa zwei Druckzeilen bzw. 5 mm erwiesen, womit das Verkleben wirkungsvoll vermieden werden konnte und gleichzeitig der zusätzliche Energiebedarf auf akzeptables Niveau eingeschränkt wurde.An advantageous development of the invention provides that the conveying path of the resting state transport of the pressure medium in one direction is between 0.5 mm and 30 mm. Particularly useful is an advance of the pressure medium to about two printing lines or 5 mm proved, whereby the gluing could be effectively avoided and at the same time the additional energy requirement was reduced to an acceptable level.

Mit Vorteil ist die Steuerung derart ausgebildet, dass sie die Medientransporteinrichtung während des Ruhezustandtransportes in der Weise ansteuert, dass das Druckmedium aus einer Ausgangslage zunächst gegen Ausgabetransportrichtung gefördert wird und anschließend in Ausgabetransportrichtung zurück in die Ausgangslage transportiert wird. Dieses Vorgehen hat den entscheidenden Vorteil, dass zunächst das bevorzugt mit der Andruckwalze eine Verbindung eingehende Druckmedium von der im Bereich des Druckkopfes liegenden Andruckwalze fortgezogen wird, so dass selbst hohe, aus einem Verkleben resultierende Kräfte ohne Schwierigkeiten von dem auf Zug belastbaren Druckmedium überwunden werden können. Gleichzeitig gelangt das System in die vor dem Ruhezustandstransport vorliegende Ausgangslage, so dass dieser Vorgang nahezu unbegrenzt wiederholt werden kann. Besondere Vorteile entfaltet die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung eines Druckers, wenn das Druckmedium des Vorrats als Bandwickel aufgerollt ist. Regelmäßig kommt es hierbei auch zur Lösung leichterer Adhäsionen im Bereich des Außenumfanges des Bandwickels. Da das der Erfindung zugrunde liegende Problem häufig bei als Thermodrucker ausgebildeten Vorrichtungen auftritt, ist die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung der Steuerung hier besonders zweckmäßig. Besonders große Adhäsionskräfte sind regelmäßig dort zu überwinden, wo eine Andruckwalze das Druckmedium gegen einen Druckkopf drückt, so dass in Verbindung mit einer derartigen Anordnung eine erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung besonders sinnvoll ist.Advantageously, the controller is designed such that it controls the media transport device during the idle state transport in such a way that the print medium is initially conveyed from a starting position against the output transport direction and then transported in the output direction back to the starting position. This procedure has the decisive advantage that the pressure medium, which is preferably connected to the pressure roller, is pulled away from the pressure roller lying in the region of the pressure head, so that even high forces resulting from adhesion can be easily overcome by the pressure medium which can be loaded on tension , At the same time, the system enters the starting position before the resting state transport, so that this process can be repeated almost indefinitely. Particular advantages unfolds the inventive design of a printer when the print medium of the supply is rolled up as a tape roll. Regularly it also comes here to solve lighter adhesions in the region of the outer circumference of the tape roll. Since the problem underlying the invention often occurs when designed as a thermal printer devices, the inventive design of the controller is particularly useful here. Particularly large adhesion forces are to be overcome regularly where a pressure roller presses the pressure medium against a print head, so that in connection with such an arrangement, an inventive design is particularly useful.

Um bei dem Start einer Druckausgabe einen Stau des Druckmediums unter allen Umständen zu vermeiden, kann mit Vorteil die Steuerung des Druckers derart ausgebildet sein, dass zu Beginn einer mittels eines Druckauftrages veranlassten Ansteuerung des Druckers zunächst eine Ansteuerung in der Weise erfolgt, dass der Ruhezustandstransport in zuvor beschriebener Weise stattfindet, bevor der Druckauftrag abgearbeitet wird. Hierbei ist es insbesondere zweckmäßig, zunächst für einen Transport binnen eines kleinen Förderweges entgegen der Ausgabetransportrichtung zu sorgen, so dass das regelmäßig drucklabile Druckmedium mittels Zuges den Widerstand der Verklebung überwindet.In order to avoid a jam of the print medium under all circumstances at the start of a printed output, the control of the printer can advantageously be designed so that at the beginning of a triggered by a print job control of the printer initially controlled in such a way that the resting state transport in previously described manner takes place before the print job is processed. In this case, it is particularly expedient initially to ensure transport within a small conveying path against the output transport direction, so that the regularly pressure-labile printing medium overcomes the resistance of the bond by means of tension.

Im Folgenden ist die Erfindung anhand eines speziellen Ausführungsbeispieles unter Bezugnahme auf zwei Zeichnungen näher verdeutlicht. Es zeigen:

Figur 1
eine schematische Darstellung eines erfindungsgemäßen Druckers in einem Tachographen,
Figur 2
die Abfolge des Ruhezustandstransportes bei einem erfindungsgemäßen Drucker gemäß dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren.
In the following the invention with reference to a specific embodiment with reference to two drawings is illustrated in more detail. Show it:
FIG. 1
a schematic representation of a printer according to the invention in a tachograph,
FIG. 2
the sequence of resting state transport in a printer according to the invention according to the inventive method.

Figur 1 zeigt einen Tachographen 1, der einen integrierten Drucker 2 aufweist. Eine Steuereinheit 3 des Druckers 2 steht mit einer übergeordneten Steuerung 4 des Tachographen 1 in einer Signale übertragenden Verbindung 5. Mittels der Verbindung 5 übermittelt die Steuerung 4 der Steuereinheit 3 Druckaufträge 6.FIG. 1 shows a tachograph 1 which has an integrated printer 2. A control unit 3 of the printer 2 communicates with a higher-level controller 4 of the tachograph 1 in a signal-transmitting connection 5. By means of the connection 5, the controller 4 transmits to the control unit 3 print jobs 6.

Wesentliche Bauelemente des Druckers 2 sind die Steuereinheit 3, ein Druckkopf 7, eine eine Andruckwalze 8 umfassende Medientransporteinrichtung 15 und ein als Bandwickel 16 ausgebildeter Vorrat 9 an Druckmedium 10. Die Steuereinheit 3 steuert mittels eines Antriebes 11 eine Drehbewegung der Andruckwalze 8 zur Förderung des Druckmediums 10 in eine Ausgabetransportrichtung 12, so dass das Druckmedium 10 aus einer Ausgabeöffnung 13 aus dem Drucker 2 des Tachographen 1 heraustritt und ein Benutzer einen Ausdruck entgegennehmen kann. Zum Ausdruck eines Berichtes über von dem Tachographen 1 aufgezeichnete Daten empfängt die Steuereinheit 3 von der Steuerung 4 den Druckauftrag 6 und steuert den Druckkopf 7 und den Antrieb 11 der Andruckwalze 8 entsprechend an. Bei dem Druckmedium 10 handelt es sich hier um Thermodruckpapier 20, und der Druckkopf 7 arbeitet im Thermodruckverfahren.Essential components of the printer 2 are the control unit 3, a print head 7, a pressure roller 8 comprehensive media transport device The control unit 3 controls by means of a drive 11 a rotary movement of the pressure roller 8 for conveying the printing medium 10 in an output transport direction 12, so that the printing medium 10 from a discharge opening 13 from the printer 2 of the Tachograph 1 emerges and a user can take an expression. To express a report on data recorded by the tachograph 1, the control unit 3 receives the print job 6 from the controller 4 and controls the print head 7 and the drive 11 of the platen roller 8 accordingly. The printing medium 10 is a thermal printing paper 20, and the printing head 7 is a thermal printing process.

Damit während längeren Zeiten des Stillstandes das Druckmedium 10 nicht unter dem Druck der Andruckwalze 8 an selbiger festklebt, insbesondere unter Einwirkung von Luftfeuchtigkeit und Temperaturschwankungen, sieht die Erfindung vor, dass auch während längerer Zeit des Ruhezustandes ein Ruhezustandtransport gemäß der Darstellung der Figur 2 vorgesehen ist. Ausgehend von der mit 1) bezeichneten Ausgangslage 30, in welcher das Druckmedium 10 an der Andruckwalze 8 unter Druck derselben an den Druckkopf 7 anliegt, bewegt sich das Druckmedium 10 entlang eines kurzen Förderweges 40 entgegen der Ausgabetransportrichtung 12, wie in 2) dargestellt. Anschließend wird das Druckmedium 10 wieder in Ausgabetransportrichtung 12 in die Ausgangslage 30 gefördert, wie in 3) dargestellt. So that during longer periods of standstill, the printing medium 10 does not stick to the same under the pressure of the pressure roller 8, especially under the influence of humidity and temperature fluctuations, the invention provides that even during prolonged periods of rest a resting state transport according to the illustration of Figure 2 is provided , Starting from the starting position 30, designated 1), in which the printing medium 10 bears against the printing head 7 under pressure on the pressure roller 8, the printing medium 10 moves along a short conveying path 40 against the output transport direction 12, as shown in FIG. 2). Subsequently, the printing medium 10 is again conveyed in the output transport direction 12 into the starting position 30, as shown in FIG. 3).
