Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a card reversing device for attachment to a printer, and provided to return a card so that both sides undergo at least one processing operation performed by the printer.
  • the present invention is particularly applicable in the field of thermal printing of plastic cards.
  • printers with a card reversing device to print. Such printers perform processing operations on one and / or the other face of the cards during printing. For example, these printers are adapted to perform encoding of chips mounted on the cards, to print images and text on one or both sides of these cards or to encode a magnetic strip.
  • Such operations require translational movements of the cards that are transferred along a transfer path between the modules of the printer performing these operations.
  • processing operations must, in most cases, be applied to one and the other side of the cards, these cards must be returned during their printing by a turning device.
  • a turning device D to be mounted on a printer I so as to be placed on the card transfer path CT during their processing by the processing modules MT of the printer I.
  • the cards 10 circulate along this transfer path CT for the treatment of one of their faces, are returned by the turning device D which is, as shown in FIG. Fig. 1 , on the transfer path, then start again on this transfer path CT once returned so that the other face of these cards is processed by the appropriate processing modules MT.
  • the moving of the cards 10 is illustrated by the bold arrow on the Fig 1 .
  • This type of printer is bulky because it is necessary to reserve an ESP space between the processing modules MT and the device D.
  • This space is generally equal (see higher) to the length of a card so that the card 10 can completely leave the processing modules MT and return to these modules without the card 10 is returned and does not stop against the turning device D.
  • the problem to be solved is to reduce the size of a printer / card reverser assembly compared to the solutions of the state of the art.
  • the overall size of the printer / card reversing device assembly is reduced compared to solutions of the state of the art. Indeed, the movements of the drive means release a space that is used by the printer to manipulate cards. The printer is therefore more compact. Indeed, the dimensions of the printer can be reduced by a volume equal to the space released inside the turning device by the displacement of the drive means.
  • the drive means are rollers operating in pairs.
  • one of the rolls of a pair is a cleaning roll.
  • This embodiment is advantageous because it allows a reduction in the size of the printer because the cleaning roller also performs the transport roller function when associated with another roller.
  • the passage of the reversing device from said first position to the second position, on the one hand, and the passage from the second position to the said other first position, on the other hand are rotations of 90 ° degrees.
  • the device D comprises card drive means for transferring cards from the printer to the inside of this turning device, to hold them in position in this turning device, to turn them over and to transfer them once. returned from inside this turning device to the printer I.
  • these drive means are movable to allow the printer to use, for manipulating a card 10 during a processing operation performed by printer processing modules MT of printer I, a space inside the device D which is occupied by the drive means when transferring a card 10 to from or to printer I (to MT processing modules of this printer I).
  • the Fig. 3 represents perspective views of a turning device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • the Fig. 4 represents sectional views of this device D.
  • the card reversing device D comprises, among others, drive means which are, according to one embodiment, rollers 2 and 9 associated in pairs.
  • the device D comprises two pairs of rollers which are both positioned on a CT card transfer path carried by a Y axis of a marker (X, Y, Z). The map moves along the CT transfer path and the Y axis during an operation performed by the printer.
  • Fixing the device D on the printer I is achieved by means of pivot pins 5 which lock by 1 ⁇ 4 turn and which rotate the assembly.
  • the chassis 1 and the rollers are driven by two separate stepper motors, a motor 15 for transporting the card and a motor 14 for the rotation and reversal of the cards.
  • one of the rollers in this case that designated by the reference 2, is a cleaning roller of the surface of a card.
  • This roll 2 which is held in position on the device D by a presser 3, also has the function of maintaining a card in position inside the device D.
  • the roller 2 cooperates with a roller 9 so as to exert pressure opposite on the map then held by pinching.
  • the card is also held in position by the other pair of rollers 9 (top of the Fig. 4 ).
  • Presser 3 is shown on the top of the Fig. 4 in the roller lock position 2. This position of the presser 3 is due to a return spring 4.
  • the presser 3 On the bottom of the Fig. 4 , the presser 3 is in the unlocking position so that the roll 2 is changed. This position corresponds to the hand hold of the presser 3.
  • This change of roll is very easy because it does not require tools.
  • the device D also comprises an electronic card 6 which is associated with a set formed by a card 7 presence flag and an opto-electronic sensor 8. The function of this set is given later.
  • the Fig. 5 schematically represents the transport and detection of a card by a device D provided according to the present invention.
  • the map presence flag 7 is in the high position, that is to say in a position which does not cut the beam of the optoelectronic sensor 8.
  • drive means are then in a first position to transfer a card from the printer I.
  • a card 10 from the printer I (more exactly of a processing module MT) enters the device D by one side (here by the right)
  • the card 10 is transferred by the pair of rollers 9 towards the inside of the device D until striking a chamfer of the map presence flag 7.
  • the card 10 then continues its transfer and then applies a force on this flag presence card 7 causing its displacement (here vertical) as illustrated at the bottom of the Fig. 6 .
  • the beam of the opto-electronic sensor 8 is then cut off sending a presence signal to the card 6 for analysis.
  • the position of the card is then accurately detected.
  • the transport movement provided by a stepper motor contributes to the precise progress of the card.
  • a charger C may possibly be placed at the input of the device D ( Fig. 2 ).
  • a card to print then crosses the device D once, from left to right on the Fig. 2 , so that the front of the card passes under the cleaning roller 2 which thus clears dirt that may cause printing defects.
  • the card returns to the device D which returns it (rotation of 180 ° illustrated on the Fig. 6 by the arrow).
  • the device D is then in the position of the Fig. 7 which is also called first position.
  • the card 10 then leaves the device D (according to the bold arrow) to be transferred to the processing modules MT.
  • the turning device D rotates (180 ° rotation illustrated on FIG. Fig. 6 by the arrow) and the turning device D is then in a second first position ( Fig. 7 ), the card returns to the device D which then cleans the back of the card using the cleaning roller 2 before its processing by the MT modules.
  • This device D thus performs the cleaning recto / verso using a single cleaning roller 2.
  • the card 10 then out of the device D (according to the bold arrow) to be transferred to the processing modules MT. On this occasion, the back of the card is cleaned by the cleaning roller 2 before its treatment by the MT modules.
  • This device D thus ensures the cleaning recto / verso using a single cleaning roller 2.
  • the angular position of the device D is known by means of a detector 11 associated with another opto-electronic sensor 8 and by a control of the stepping motor 14 implemented, for example, by the card 6.
  • the device When processing the one or the other face of the card 10 by the processing modules MT, the device pivots 90 ° about its axis ( Fig. 7 ) to end up in a second position illustrated in the Fig. 8 . This rotation erases the drive means 2 and 9 and the map presence flag 7 of the transfer path CT. In the second position, the space inside the device which is occupied by the drive means when positioned in the first position is released.
  • the erasure of the drive means 2 and 9 and the map presence flag 7 releases a free space inside the device D which is occupied by these drive means 2 and 9 when they are positioned in the first position.
  • This space can be used by a card 10 during a processing operation performed by the processing modules MT because the card 10 can freely enter and exit the device D without coming into contact with the drive means 2 and 9. card processing operations then take place without shock because the card does not hit the rollers 9 nor the cleaning roller 2.
  • This erasure then reduces the length of the printer I by approaching the turning device D closer to the modules_MT processing as shown in the Fig. 2 .
