DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ticket issuing apparatus for issuing tickets and rearranging tickets used for collecting fares of buses and trains, or various rearranging tickets used in hospitals and banks. is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional ticket issuing apparatus having a configuration in which predetermined items are automatically printed on a series of ticket roll papers, and are cut into a predetermined length and are sequentially cut out, one roll of ticket roll paper is used. What was wound and mounted was the mainstream. Therefore, for example, in a ticket issuing device mounted on a bus, the ticket roll paper ends during the operation and needs to be replaced, or the remaining amount of the ticket roll paper is checked before the operation, and the ticket is replaced during the operation. In order to prevent the occurrence of the need, the roll paper may be discarded with the roll paper still remaining sufficiently, which is extremely uneconomical and hinders safe driving.

[0003] In particular, roll paper used for baths is manufactured by bonding a wide base sheet to a core body, winding the core sheet, and then cutting the core sheet to a predetermined width, so that the adhesive strength between the core body and the base sheet varies.
Even when the roll paper is pulled with a predetermined magnitude of force, the final end may not be peeled off from the core. For this reason, the last end of the roll paper peeled from the core is detected, and it is not possible to automatically switch to the spare roll paper. A method is employed in which the mounting device is rotated by a motor to rewind the roll paper and set the next roll paper.

[0004]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS First and second ticket roll paper loading devices are respectively loaded with ticket roll paper, and the leading ends of the roll paper drawn from the ticket roll paper are first and second ticket feed rollers, respectively. And a guide roller to guide between the first and second ticket roll paper loading devices to the ticket issuing port, and these guide rollers are switched and contacted with the movable roller, and the roll paper sheet surface guided to the ticket issuing port. Is printed by the printing device. The first and second roll paper end detecting sensors respectively detect when the end rolls approach the end rolls of the ticket roll paper mounted on the first and second ticket roll paper mounting devices, decreasing to a predetermined amount. The detection of the passage of the fed roll paper and the detection of the end of the roll paper that has been pulled back are performed by the first and second roll paper detection sensors, and the leading end of the roll paper reaches the ticket issuing port. This is detected by the ticketing sensor. When the roll paper end detecting sensor detects the end of the roll paper for the ticket, the movable roller moves to the guide roller side on the detection side, contacts the guide roller and reverses the motors of the ticket feed roller and guide roller to roll. When the paper is pulled back and the leading edge of the roll paper passes the roll paper detection sensor, the motors of the ticket feed roller and the guide roller are stopped, the movable roller comes into contact with the other guide roller side, and the ticket feed roller on the next roll paper side And the motor of the induction roller is driven,
By guiding the roll paper until it is detected by the ticket issuing sensor, the two paper roll papers are automatically switched alternately. This departure
A clear embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. Ticket roll papers 13 and 14 are mounted on ticket roll paper mounting devices 11 and 12. At this time, the ticket roll papers 13 and 14 are in the same plane, and their axes are parallel. The roll papers unwound from the ticket roll papers 13 and 14 are guided from inside to outside. Ticket feed rollers 15 and 16 are arranged at outer corners thereof, guide rollers 17 and 18 are arranged on one side inside the roll paper 13 and 14, and the printer head 2 is arranged on the other side.
1, 22, a cutter 23 and a ticket issuing port 24 are provided. The movable roller 25 is brought into switching contact with the guide rollers 17 and 18.

As shown in FIG. 2, the ticket feed roller 15 and the guide roller 17 are driven to rotate by a motor 26 via a belt 27, and the ticket feed roller 16 and the guide roller 18 are driven to rotate by a motor 28 via a belt 29. You. Holder roller 3 on ticket feed rollers 15 and 16
1, 32 are transferred. The movable roller 25 comes into switching contact with the guide rollers 17 and 18 by the operation of the latching solenoid 33.

Returning to the description of FIG. 1, the ticket roll paper 13,
One end of each of the remaining amount detection levers 34 and 35 elastically contacts the outer peripheral surface of the sensor 14, and the remaining amount detection sensor 3
6, 37 are provided. The remaining amount detection lever and the remaining amount detection sensor constitute a roll paper end end detection sensor. Roll paper detection sensors 38 and 39 are provided inside the guide rollers 17 and 18, and a ticket issuing sensor 41 is
Is provided. Platen rollers 42 and 43 are pressed against the printer heads 21 and 22, respectively, and the platen rollers 42 and 43 are rotated by a platen motor (not shown). Set push buttons 44 and 45 are provided corresponding to the ticket roll papers 13 and 14, respectively.

When the ticket roll paper 13 is mounted on the ticket roll paper loading device 11, the leading end of the roll paper is inserted between the ticket feed roller 15 and the press roller 31 as shown by an arrow, and the set push button 44 is pressed. 33 operates, the movable roller 25 is pressed against the guide roller 17 and the motor 26 is driven at the same time, the ticket feed roller 15 and the guide roller 17 rotate, and the roll paper is rotated until the ticket issuing sensor 41 detects the leading end of the roll paper. At this time, the platen motor is rotated, and the roll paper passes between the printer head and the platen roller and is fed to the ticket issuing port 24. When the ticketing sensor 41 detects the leading edge of the roll paper, the motor 2
6. The motor for the platen stops and the movable roller 25
Is switched to the guide roller 18 side. When the cutter 23 operates to cut the note paper, the waste ticket lever 46 is lowered, and the leading ticket is stored in the waste ticket storage unit 47. Next, the motor for the platen rotates to perform predetermined printing on the bill surface and feed a predetermined amount of roll paper, and the cutter 23 operates to complete the roll paper setting. If a ticket is pulled out from the ticket issuing port 24, the ticket issuing sensor 41 is turned off, and the next ticket is printed and issued.

Subsequently, the ticket roll paper 14 is loaded on the ticket roll paper loading device 12, the leading end of the roll paper is inserted between the feed roller 16 and the press roller 32, and the set push button 4 is pressed.
When 5 is pressed, the motor 28 rotates to feed the roll paper, and when the leading end is detected by the roll paper detection sensor 39,
The motor 28 stops, and the setting of the two rolls of paper 13 and 14 is completed. When ticket issuance of the roll paper 13 proceeds, the remaining amount of the roll paper is detected by the remaining amount detection lever 34 in contact with the outer periphery of the roll paper 13. When the remaining amount of the ticket roll paper 13 reaches a predetermined amount, the remaining amount detection sensor 36 is turned ON, the movable roller 25 is switched to the guide roller 17 side, and the motor 2
Reference numeral 6 denotes a reverse rotation operation to rewind the roll paper 13.
When the leading end of the roll paper 14 passes through the roll paper detection sensor 38, the motor 26 stops, the movable roller 25 switches to the guide roller 18 side, and the motor 28 rotates to feed the roll paper 14 until the ticket issuing sensor 41 detects the leading end. . With the above operation, the roll papers 13 and 14 can be automatically switched and used alternately.
