The holdable signal output unit outputs a holdable signal indicating that the shutter member 40 is closed until the receipt can be held by the shutter member 40 when the determination result of the holdable position determination unit is closed. Output to 30. In addition, the control unit 30 controls the cutter unit 12 via the print control unit 11 in response to the holdable signal being input from the shutter control unit 21 to fully cut the receipt.

  Further, the control unit 30 passes through the print control unit 11 after the shutter member 40 is opened to at least a predetermined dischargeable position (position P3 in FIG. 3) at which the receipt can be discharged from the opening 3. The printing conveyance unit 13 is controlled to print a receipt. That is, the control unit 30 prints the receipt by controlling the print transport unit 13 via the print control unit 11 on condition that the shutter member 40 is in the dischargeable range.

  For example, the shutter control unit 21 includes a dischargeable position information storage unit, a second opening / closing position detection unit, a dischargeable position determination unit, and a dischargeable signal output unit. In this dischargeable position information storage unit, information on the dischargeable position P3 is stored in advance. The second opening / closing position detector detects the opening / closing position of the shutter member 40. The dischargeable position determination unit determines whether the open / close position detected by the second open / close position detection unit is open more than the open / close position indicated by the dischargeable position information read from the dischargeable position information storage unit. . The dischargeable signal output unit outputs a dischargeable signal indicating that the shutter member 40 has been opened until the receipt can be discharged from the opening 3 when the determination result of the dischargeable position determination unit is open.

<Second Embodiment>
Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The printed matter issuing apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment has the same configuration as the printed matter issuing apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment. Here, in the configuration of the printed matter issuing apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment, only differences from the printed matter issuing apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment will be described. In the configuration of the second embodiment, the same reference numerals are given to the same configurations as those of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, and the description thereof is omitted.

  First, the difference in configuration between the first embodiment shown in FIG. 3 and the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, the printed matter issuing apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment is installed between the rotary cutter 60, the opening 3 and the guide member 4, and prints on the opening 3 via the guide member 4. The conveyance unit 13 includes a roller unit 90 that nipped and conveys the printing paper 2 printed.

  The roller unit 90 includes a pressing roller 7 and a delivery roller 8 that are installed at positions facing each other with respect to the printing paper 2 being conveyed. The delivery roller 8 is driven to rotate so as to convey the printing paper 2. For example, the printed matter issuing apparatus 1 has a drive motor that rotationally drives the feed roller 8, and the control unit 30 controls the drive motor. Further, the pressing roller 7 is urged in the direction of the delivery roller 8. For example, the pressing roller 7 is urged in the direction of the delivery roller 8 by an elastic body such as a spring.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the print transport unit 13 as an example includes a print head unit 5 such as a thermal head that prints on the print paper 2, and a platen roller 6 that transports the print paper 2. In FIG. 3, the print transport unit 13 is omitted, but in FIG. 3 as well, the print transport unit 13 is installed on the left side of the rotary cutter 60 on the paper surface of FIG. ing.

  Next, the operation of the roller unit 90, that is, a control method of the roller unit 90 by the control unit 30 will be described.

  The control unit 30 controls the roller unit 90 so that when the print conveying unit 13 prints and conveys the printing paper 2, the printing paper 2 is nipped and conveyed, and the rotary cutter 60 receives the receipt. When it is completely separated from the printing paper 2, a receipt is pinched. For example, the control unit 30 controls the roller unit 90 so that the roller unit 90 holds the receipt after the receipt is completely separated from the printing paper 2. Then, the control unit 30 controls the roller unit 90 so that when the receipt is completely separated from the printing paper 2 and the shutter member 40 is closed, the roller unit 90 holds the receipt. To do.

  Further, the control unit 30 controls the roller unit 90 to stop the conveyance while holding the printing paper 2 when the rotary cutter 60 cuts the receipt completely from the printing paper 2. . This is because the rotary cutter 60 can normally cut the receipt. Then, the rotary cutter 60 holds the receipt cut from the printing paper 2.

  As described above, the control unit 30 controls the roller unit 90 to convey the printing paper 2 only during the period in which the printing conveyance unit 13 conveys the printing paper 2. For example, in the operation of the printed matter issuing apparatus 1 described with reference to FIG. 6, a step that is a period during which the print transport unit 13 transports the printing paper 2, that is, a period during which the print transport unit 13 prints and transports the printing paper 2. In the period of S <b> 40, the control unit 30 rotates the feed roller 8 of the roller unit 90, and the roller unit 90 conveys the printing paper 2.

  During the period in which the printing conveyance unit 13 conveys the printing paper 2, the roller unit 90 conveys the printing paper 2 by the pressing roller 7 and the feeding roller 8 included in the roller unit 90, while the pressing roller 7 and the feeding roller. The printing paper 2 is sandwiched between the printer 8 and the printer 8.

  Next, the operation of the printed matter issuing apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment will be described. The operation as an example of the printed matter issuing apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment is the same as that in the first embodiment except for the operation of the roller unit 90. That is, the printed matter issuing apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment operates in the same manner as in the first embodiment shown in FIGS. However, as described above, in step S40, which is a period during which the print transport unit 13 prints and transports the printing paper 2, the roller unit 90 transports the printing paper 2 and sandwiches the printing paper 2. The point is different.

  When the full cut is performed as shown in step S80 of FIG. 6 by the same operation as that of the printed matter issuing apparatus 1 described with reference to FIG. 6, the state is as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 8, in the same manner as in FIG. 4, when the shutter member 40 is closed, the receipt is sandwiched between the paper receiving plate 50 and the shutter member 40, and the upper surface of the lower guide member 4b. The sheet receiving plate 50 and the shutter member 40 are bent and held by the printed matter issuing apparatus 1 (see reference A in FIG. 8). Further, the roller unit 90 holds the receipt (see reference numeral B in FIG. 8).

  Thereafter, in the state where the shutter member 40 is closed, the receipt is bent by the region sandwiched between the paper receiving plate 50 and the shutter member 40 and the upper surface of the lower guide member 4b, the paper receiving plate 50 and the shutter member 40. The area held by the printed matter issuing apparatus 1 (refer to reference numeral A in FIG. 8) will be described as a first holding area. In addition, an area in which the receipt is held by the roller unit 90 (see reference numeral B in FIG. 8) will be referred to as a second holding area.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, the printed matter issuing apparatus 1 holds the receipt only in the first holding area (see reference A in FIG. 4). In the embodiment, the printed matter issuing apparatus 1 holds receipts in two holding areas (see reference numerals A and B in FIG. 8), which are a first holding area and a second holding area.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, the receipt is held in the first holding area as in the first embodiment. Therefore, in the second embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, the printing paper 2 is completely weighted even when the printing paper 2 is completely separated by the rotary cutter 60 via the cutter unit 12 and becomes a receipt. It will not fall or be blown by the wind. In the second embodiment, since the receipt is held in the first holding area (see reference A in FIG. 8), as in the first embodiment, The same effect as the case can be obtained.

  Further, in the second embodiment, the printed matter issuing apparatus 1 receives a receipt in two holding areas (refer to reference numerals A and B in FIG. 8), which are a first holding area and a second holding area. By holding, the following effects can be obtained.

  For example, in the case where the receipt is held in one holding area of only the first holding area as in the case of the first embodiment, if a gust occurs, this one holding area is sufficient. Receipts may be scattered without being able to hold the receipt. When holding a receipt in one holding area in this way, in order to prevent the receipt from scattering even if a gust of wind occurs, the force for holding the receipt in this one holding area should be increased. Can be considered. That is, increasing the pressure sandwiching the receipt between the paper receiving plate 50 and the shutter member 40, or holding the receipt by bending the upper surface of the lower guide member 4b, the paper receiving plate 50 and the shutter member 40. It is possible to increase the power. However, since the receipt is pulled and removed by the hand of the person, if the receipt is held with great force, the receipt will be pulled when the receipt is pulled and removed by the hand of the person. There is a possibility of tearing without being taken out.

  On the other hand, in the second embodiment, as described above, the receipt is not held in one holding area, but in the two holding areas of the first holding area and the second holding area. Holding a receipt. Therefore, the receipt can be held by distributing the force for holding the receipt in these two holding areas. Therefore, even when a gust occurs, the force that does not cause the receipt to be scattered, and even if the receipt is pulled out by a human hand, there is no possibility that the receipt will be broken. Can be held in.

  In the second embodiment, since the receipt is held in these two holding areas, the pressure sandwiching the receipt between the paper receiving plate 50 and the shutter member 40 is the same as that in the first embodiment. In contrast, it is possible to reduce the size. Therefore, in the second embodiment, for example, a lighter shutter member 40 can be used as compared with the first embodiment. This is because the shutter member 40 holds the receipt with its own weight in the closed state.

  Next, the relationship between the roller unit 90 and the print conveyance unit 13 will be described in detail. In the roller unit 90 and the print conveyance unit 13, the speed at which the roller unit 90 pinches and conveys the printing paper 2 is set faster than the speed at which the print conveyance unit 13 conveys the printing paper 2. That is, the conveyance speed of the printing paper 2 by the feed roller 8 of the roller unit 90 is faster than the conveyance speed of the printing paper 2 by the platen roller 6 of the printing conveyance unit 13. Thereby, since tension is applied to the printing paper 2 between the platen roller 6 of the printing conveyance unit 13 and the feeding roller 8 of the roller unit 90, the printing paper 2 is conveyed without bending. Can do.

  For example, in order to make the conveyance speed of the printing paper 2 by the feeding roller 8 of the roller unit 90 faster than the conveyance speed of the printing paper 2 by the platen roller 6 of the printing conveyance unit 13, the feeding roller 8 and the platen roller 6. And the diameter of the platen roller 6 of the print transport unit 13 may be larger than the diameter of the feed roller 8 of the roller unit 90.

  By the way, if a large tension is applied to the printing paper 2 between the platen roller 6 of the printing conveyance unit 13 and the feeding roller 8 of the roller unit 90, the printing paper 2 may be torn. In the present embodiment, the tension applied to the printing paper 2 has a predetermined size between the diameter of the feed roller 8 and the diameter of the platen roller 6 so that the printing paper 2 may not be broken.

  As an example, the diameter of the feed roller 8 is 18.3 mm, and the diameter of the platen roller 6 is 20.0 mm. In general, although depending on the quality of the printing paper 2 and the material of the roller surface portion of the delivery roller 8 and the platen roller 6, the conveyance speed of the printing paper 2 by the delivery roller 8 of the roller section 90 is It is desirable that the speed of the printing paper 2 conveyed by the platen roller 6 of the conveying unit 13 is about 10% faster than the conveying speed.

  Further, the pressing roller 7 is biased in the direction of the feeding roller 8 so that the printing paper 2 is not torn between the platen roller 6 of the print conveying unit 13 and the feeding roller 8 of the roller unit 90. May be adjusted. For example, by adjusting an elastic body such as a spring, the pressure at which the pressing roller 7 is urged in the direction of the feed roller 8 is applied between the platen roller 6 of the print transport unit 13 and the feed roller 8 of the roller unit 90. The value is adjusted in advance so that the printing paper 2 is not torn.

  As a result, when the printing paper 2 is torn between the platen roller 6 of the print conveying unit 13 and the feed roller 8 of the roller unit 90, the pressing roller 7 is moved away from the feed roller 8 by an elastic body such as a spring. Can be displaced in the direction. Therefore, when the printing paper 2 is torn, the pressing roller 7 and the delivery roller 8 are idled or slid with respect to the printing paper 2. Therefore, the roller unit 90 does not convey the printing paper 2 until the printing paper 2 is torn. In this way, in the second embodiment, the printing paper 2 is not torn between the platen roller 6 of the print transport unit 13 and the feed roller 8 of the roller unit 90.

  The force (pressure) when the platen roller 6 conveys the printing paper 2 and the force (pressure) when the feeding roller 8 conveys the printing paper 2 are the forces by which the platen roller 6 conveys the printing paper 2. (Pressure) is set to be larger so that the printing paper 2 does not slip on the platen roller 6. Thereby, even when the delivery roller 8 tries to convey the printing paper 2 earlier than the platen roller 6, the platen roller 6 can convey the printing paper 2 at its rotational speed. Therefore, the print head unit 5 can print on the printing paper 2 conveyed by the platen roller 6.

  By the way, the receipt held by the roller unit 90 needs to be pulled out and pulled out by being pulled by a human hand. For this extraction, for example, it is desirable that the pressing roller 7 of the roller portion 90 is made of a material having a low friction coefficient, for example, Duracon. Accordingly, when the receipt is pulled by a human hand, the receipt can be smoothly extracted from the roller unit 90.

  In addition, the pressing roller 7 is attached in the direction of the feeding roller 8 so that the receipt sandwiched between the pressing roller 7 and the feeding roller 8 of the roller portion 90 is pulled and removed by a human hand. The applied force may be adjusted. For example, an elastic body such as a spring may be adjusted. Accordingly, when the receipt is pulled by a human hand, the receipt can be smoothly extracted from the roller unit 90. Further, when the platen roller 6 of the print conveying unit 13 and the feed roller 8 of the roller unit 90 are rotated in conjunction with each other, the drive transmission unit of the platen roller 6 and the feed roller 8 is excessively large like a round cross section belt and a pulley. When a large force is applied, a method may be employed in which the pulley slides and the driving force for sliding is reduced. By doing so, when the receipt is pulled by a human hand, only the delivery roller 8 is idled, and the receipt can be smoothly extracted. Further, by idling, the platen roller 6 does not move and the next receipt issuance is not affected.

  Note that the operation of the printed matter issuing apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment described above is the same as that of the first embodiment except for the operation of the roller unit 90. That is, the printed matter issuing apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment has been described as operating as in the case of the first embodiment of FIGS. 5 and 6. However, the operation of the printed matter issuing apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment is not limited to this.

  For example, in the printed matter issuing apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment, the printed matter issuing apparatus 1 holds the printing paper 2 only in the first holding area (see reference numeral A in FIG. 8). On the condition that the member 40 is in the holdable range, it is necessary to control the cutter unit 12 via the print control unit 11 and to fully cut the receipt.

  On the other hand, in the printed matter issuing apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment, the printing paper 2 is held in the two holding areas of the first holding area and the second holding area. Is always conveyed to the opening 3, the printing paper 2 is always held in the second holding area. That is, when the printing paper 2 is conveyed to the opening 3, the roller unit 90 holds the printing paper 2. Therefore, even when the receipt is fully cut from the printing paper 2 when the shutter member 40 is not within the holdable range, the receipt is sandwiched by the roller unit 90 and does not fall by its own weight.

  Therefore, in the printed matter issuing apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment, the control unit 30 controls the cutter unit 12 via the print control unit 11 on the condition that the shutter member 40 is in the holdable range, and the receipt. There is no need to cut the book completely. That is, in the printed matter issuing apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment, as shown in step S65 in FIG. 6, the shutter control unit 21 performs the shutter member 40 as in the operation of the printed matter issuing apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment. It is not necessary to detect that the position has been closed to the holdable position P4.

  Next, an operation of the printed matter issuing apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment in the case where it is not detected that the shutter member 40 is closed to the holdable position P4 will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 9, the same operations as those of the printed matter issuing apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment of FIG. 6 are denoted by the same reference numerals (step numbers).

  In the operation of FIG. 9, in the operations from step S10 to step S50, the operation of the printed matter issuing apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment except that the roller unit 90 operates in step S40. It is the same as the case of the form. Therefore, description of the operation from step S10 to step S50 is omitted.

  Next, the operation of the printed matter issuing apparatus 1 after step S50 will be described. In the step S50, the second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the roller unit 90 holds the printing paper 2.

  In step S50, the control unit 30 to which the print completion signal is input from the print transport unit 13 outputs a signal for full cut to the cutter unit 12 of the receipt issuing unit 10 via the print control unit 11. (Step S70). Next, the cutter unit 12 to which a signal for full cut is input cuts the printing paper 2 fully (step S80).

  Thereafter, the control unit 30 to which the print completion signal is input from the print transport unit 13 outputs a shutter close signal, which is a signal indicating that the shutter is closed, to the shutter control unit 21 of the shutter unit 20 (step S90). Next, the shutter control unit 21 of the shutter unit 20 to which the shutter close signal is input closes the shutter member 40 from the open position P1 to the closed position P2. Thereafter, the user takes out the receipt, which is the fully cut printing paper 2, from the printed matter issuing apparatus 1.

  In FIG. 9, the control unit 30 outputs a shutter close signal (see step S90 in FIG. 9) after fully cutting the printing paper 2 in step S80, and closes the shutter member 40 to the closed position P2. ing. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and similarly to the case of FIG. 6, the control unit 30 outputs a shutter close signal in response to the input of the print completion signal in step S <b> 50 and moves the shutter member 40. You may make it close to the closed position P2. As described above, the control unit 30 is a signal indicating that the shutter is closed at an arbitrary timing as long as the print completion signal is input from the print transport unit 13 without depending on the position of the shutter member 40. A shutter closing signal may be output to the shutter control unit 21 of the shutter unit 20.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, since the roller unit 90 holds the printing paper 2 in step S50 in FIG. 9, even if the printing paper 2 is fully cut in this state, the printing paper Receipts that are fully cut from 2 are not dropped from the printed matter issuing apparatus 1. Therefore, as in the case of the first embodiment, on the condition that the shutter member 40 is in the holdable range, it is necessary to control the cutter unit 12 via the print control unit 11 and to fully cut the receipt. Absent.

  Thus, in the second embodiment, since it is not necessary to determine whether or not the shutter member 40 is in the holdable range, the shutter member 40 is in the holdable range as compared with the first embodiment. There is an effect of reducing the process of determining whether or not there is. In addition, since the control unit 30 does not need to operate according to the determination result, there is an effect that the process executed by the control unit 30 can be simplified.

  By the way, in order to prevent the receipt from being scattered even when a gust of wind occurs, the controller 30 can hold the shutter member 40 in the second embodiment as in the first embodiment. It is preferable that the receipt is fully cut by controlling the cutter unit 12 via the print control unit 11 on the condition that it is within the range. By doing so, the full cut receipt is held in the two holding areas of the first holding area and the second holding area from the stage of full cutting from the printing paper 2. Therefore, even when a gust occurs at an arbitrary timing after the receipt is fully cut, the receipt is not scattered.

In the first embodiment or the second embodiment, the printed matter issuing apparatus 1 for issuing a receipt in the horizontal direction has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the printed matter issuing apparatus 1 is Receipts may be issued in the direction or upward.
In the first embodiment or the second embodiment, the printed matter issuing apparatus 1 in the case of issuing a receipt as a printed issue has been described.
