Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tachograph for a motor vehicle with a receptacle for a paper strip, with a printing unit for outputting data in exactly intended positions in relation to a zero line of a region to be printed extending along the intended direction of movement over the paper strip, with a drive device for Drive the paper strip and with an electronic control device for controlling the printing unit and the drive device. Furthermore, the invention relates to a paper strip for a tachograph with a region to be printed and with a longitudinally extending over the paper strip zero line.
  • the invention relates to a method for aligning a leksverschieblictien paper strip against a printing device in a tachograph, wherein the printing device is aligned with respect to a longitudinally extending over the paper strip zero line of a region to be printed.
  • Known writing devices for outputting stored data in a tachograph usually have a spiked roller whose spikes penetrate into edge perforations of the paper strip and ensure the advancement of the paper strip under the printing unit.
  • the paper strip is usually wound on a roll of paper.
  • the edge perforation of the paper strip serves to align the printing unit with respect to the area to be printed, on which a grid is usually arranged.
  • the edge perforation also reduces the slip when driving the paper strip.
  • the printing unit is adjusted relative to the area to be printed on a reference position. The Adjustment is to ensure that the data, for example a graphic representation of the driving speed of the motor vehicle, is transmitted over time in the intended positions on the grid.
  • a disadvantage of the known tachograph and the known paper roll that tolerances between the printing unit and the visible grid of the area to be printed of the paper roll can occur, so that the position of the data is not reliably guaranteed to the visible grid.
  • Such tolerances can lie in the components of the tachograph itself, for example, by an inclination of the spiked roller or in the position of the printing unit.
  • tolerances can arise due to geometrical fluctuations of the paper dimensions or the optically visible grid.
  • tolerances can also be caused by moisture absorption of the paper strip during operation of the tachograph.
  • the DE 103 15 256 A describes a method for controlling a printing process with a compensation of position deviations.
  • the EP1522414A shows a printer with mounted on a conveyor sensor marks.
  • the invention is based on the problem to design a tachograph of the type mentioned so that a reliable alignment of the printing unit with respect to the zero line of the area to be printed is guaranteed. Furthermore, a method for aligning a paper strip to the printing unit of the tachograph is to be created, which allows a reliable assignment of the printed data of the tachograph against the zero line of the paper strip.
  • the first problem is solved according to the invention in that a sensor is connected to the control device such that the sensor corresponds to the scanning of a series of markings extending at different distances transversely to the zero line and for generating the scanned markings Signal sequences is formed and that and the control device is designed to control the position of the printout of the printing unit transversely to the zero line of the paper strip in response to the signal sequence of the sensor.
  • the control device is able to align the printing unit on the basis of the signal sequence of the sensor. Since the signal sequence of the sensor is dependent on the detected markings and the detected markings extend differently far across the zero line and thus to the direction of movement of the paper strip, different numbers of marks are scanned depending on the position of the paper strip relative to the sensor. This leads to a signal sequence corresponding to the position of the paper strip relative to the printing unit. In this way, the printing unit can be aligned particularly reliably with respect to the zero line of the area of the paper strip to be printed, and preferably a curve of the expression to be printed out by the printing unit can be kept constantly at the intended alignment with the zero line.
  • a limitation of the freedom of movement of the printing unit over the area to be printed by the sensor can be easily avoided according to another advantageous development of the invention, when the sensor is arranged on a side opposite the printing unit side of a paper guide of the paper strip. As a result, one side of the paper strip is available exclusively for the output of the data, while the other side can have the markings for the sensor.
  • a swelling of the paper strip for example by moisture absorption, can lead to an enlargement of the area to be printed. This leads to a faulty output of the data in a grid arranged on the area to be printed on the paper strip.
  • a swelling of the paper strip can be according to an advantageous embodiment of Consider the invention in the output of the data simply when a sensor for scanning marks of the paper strip is arranged on both longitudinal sides of the paper strip and when the control device is designed to determine a width extension of the paper strip in response to the signal sequences of the sensors.
  • the control device can prepare a graphic to be printed in such a way that when the paper strip is widened, the graphic to be printed is stretched or dipped as the paper width becomes smaller.
  • the tachograph according to the invention is structurally particularly simple if the sensor is designed to detect optical, magnetic, inductive or electrical markings.
  • the sensor could, for example, have a low-cost reflex light barrier.
  • the sensor has a particularly high resolution if the sensor has a laser and is designed to detect reflections of the laser. As a result, the accuracy of the orientation of the printing unit relative to the paper strip is increased whet.
  • a paper strip for such a tachograph which ensures a reliable alignment with the zero line of the area to be printed in the tachograph, is proposed such that for the purpose of scanning, markings provided by the tachograph sensor are arranged in a predetermined position relative to the zero line and vary extend far transversely to an intended direction of movement.
  • the markings are arranged on the paper strip and make possible a reliable scanning of the sensor arranged in the tachograph Alignment of the zero line with the pressure value. In this way, the data to be output can be applied particularly reliably to the zero line on the area to be printed.
  • the markings are particularly simple if the markers are arranged periodically to one another and of different lengths.
  • Disturbing the data transmitted by the markers can be easily avoided if the markers are located on the back of the area to be printed.
  • Swelling of the paper strip for example due to moisture, can be easily detected by means of two sensors arranged in the tachograph, when the markings are arranged on two longitudinal sides of the paper strip.
  • the problem namely the provision of a method for aligning the paper strip with respect to the printing unit of the tachograph, which allows a reliable assignment of the printed data of the cruise control to the zero line of the paper strip;
  • a series of arranged transversely to the direction of movement on the paper strip and different lengths marks is scanned by a sensor that detects a control device from the signal sequence of the sensor offset of the printing unit to the zero line and drives the printing unit to adjust the offset ,
  • the position of the paper strip is determined on the basis of the signal sequence of the sensor and, using the signal sequence, the printing unit is controlled and aligned above the zero line.
  • This compensates for tolerances between the printing unit and the zero line and thus reliably correlates the printed data of the tachograph secured against the zero line.
  • the alignment of the printing unit according to the signal sequence of the sensor can be carried out continuously or at short cyclic intervals. Therefore, preferably, a curve of the expression to be printed by the printing unit can be constantly kept at the intended alignment with the zero line.
  • Manufacturing tolerances of the printing unit can be easily compensated according to another advantageous embodiment of the invention, when a line is printed at a first adjustment of the printing unit of the tachograph against the zero line of the paper strip when an offset of the line is measured to the zero line and entered into the control device and if the control device compensates for the measured offset in the control of the printing unit.
  • the control device adds the offset measured during the first adjustment to the offset determined during operation of the tachograph.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a tachograph 1 for a motor vehicle with a front panel 2 in a longitudinal section.
  • the tachograph 1 has a magazine 3 with a paper roll 4 and a motor drive device 5 for transporting a paper strip 6 wound on the paper roll 4.
  • the tachograph 1 has a printing unit 7 for printing the paper strip 6 of the paper roll 4. To simplify the drawing of the printing unit 7, only a pressure roller is shown.
  • the paper strip 6 of the paper roll 4 is guided from the magazine 3 in a paper guide 8 on the printing unit 7 to a gap 9 in the front panel 2. Through the gap 9 in the front panel 2 of the printed 7 printed paper strip 6 is output and can be demolished.
  • sensors 10, 11 for detecting the position and the width of the paper strip 6 in the paper guide 8 are arranged on the paper guide 8.
  • the sensors 10, 11 are, as in FIG. 3 represented, arranged one behind the other.
  • the sensors 10, 11, the motor drive device 5 and the printing unit 7 are connected to an electronic control device 12.
  • the control device 12 controls the printing unit 7 and the drive device 5 in response to the signals of the sensors 10, 11.
  • the position of the printing unit 7 is aligned with the position of the paper strip 6.
  • FIG. 2 shows a portion of the paper strip 6 of the paper roll 4 from FIG. 1 with an area to be printed by the printing unit 7.
  • the area 13 to be printed has a visible grid 14 formed as a grid and a zero line 15 extending in the longitudinal direction of the paper strip.
  • the printable area is also delimited by a scaling 16 arranged transversely to the zero line 15.
  • the zero line 15 can for example be provided with a time axis while the scale 16 indicates the driving speed of the motor vehicle.
  • the direction of movement of the paper strip 6 in the tachograph 1 takes place in the direction of the zero line 15.
  • FIG. 3 shows a back of the paper strip 6 from FIG. 2 and schematically the sensors 10, 11 of the tachograph FIG. 1 .
  • a row of markings 17, 18 are arranged on both longitudinal sides, which are detected by the sensors 10, 11. It can be seen here that the markings 17, 18 are arranged transversely to the longitudinal direction of the paper strip 6. It is essential with the markings 17, 18 that they correspond with high accuracy to the in FIG. 2 shown front side are arranged in a zero line. The shape of the markers 17, 18 is greatly increased in FIG. 4 shown.
