Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the size and cost of a device, by constituting a head block wherein a printer head and a read head are formed in one body by coming close them and operating the block by a single driving system. CONSTITUTION:A read mode is set by a mode changeover switch 17 and an information input card 1 is inserted into a holder 2. A motor 9 rotates a head block control cam 7 under the command of a CPU13 to move the head block 6 to left and right, and the read head part heads information on the card 1 and stores it in the CPU13. Once one line is read laterally, a motor 5 is driven to turn a cam shaft 3, moving the card holder 2 by one line. All lines are read and stored in the CPU13. The card 1 is extracted, the mode switch 17 is placed at a print mode position, and an input information confirmation card is inserted into the card holde 2. Then, the card holder 2 and head block 6 are moved similarly to reading operation and data is printed by the printer head part of the head block 6 simultaneously. Thus, the size of the device is reduced.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a printer with a reading function.

Conventionally, in order to check the information read and stored from an information input card by an information reading device, it has been necessary to transmit the stored information from the information reading device to a printer and print it out.

However, since the printer and the information reading device were separate units, there was a problem when the printer became larger and the cost increased.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to read and print out information in a small size and at low cost.

This invention has a configuration in which a reading head is integrally formed in the vicinity of the printer head and the reader lid, and the printer head and the reader lid are moved by a single drive system.
The aim is to achieve the following objectives.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, this reading [t12 printer] is a matrix-like data group consisting of a plurality of pieces of data arranged linearly at regular intervals in the horizontal direction and arranged in multiple rows in the vertical direction. Information 1 atl - The written information input card 1 is held by a card holder 2, and this card holder 2 is engaged with the spiral groove 3a of the card holder system (2) cam 3. The information input card held by the card holder 2 is rotated by the vertical feed motor 5 via the reduction gear train 4, and the vertical feed motor 5 is rotated in the forward direction in response to a signal from the central processing unit 13. 1 vertically up or down,
In front of the information input card 1 and facing the information input card 1 are placed Hezu Dobrovuku 6 and Heichi Nodo Block 1! The helical groove 7a of the cam 7 is engaged with the helical groove 7a of the cam 7, and the cam 7 is driven by the transverse feed motor 9 via the reduction gear train 8. By rotating the transverse feed motor 9 in the normal direction in response to a signal from the device 13, the RAD block 6 is transversely fed to the right (outward path) or left direction (return path) relative to the information input cart 1. There is.

As shown in Fig. 3, the Heradpro bag is one in which a printer head 6a made of dot wire and a reading head 6b, which is a photosensor area, are integrally formed in close proximity to each other and below, facing the same direction. An ink ribbon 10a installed in a ribbon car weighing machine 10 runs endlessly between a printer head 6a and an information input cart 1, and one draw a to the printer is controlled by a central processing unit 13. The output of the rad 6b is input to the central processing unit 1113 via the sensor circuit 20.The output shaft 9a of the traversing motor 9 has a circular plate having a large number of through holes 11a at equal intervals on the periphery. 11 is pivotally mounted, and a photoelectric converter 12 is mounted so as to sandwich the periphery of this disk 110. ii'
! The disk 11 and the photoelectric converter 12 constitute the head position detection means 21, and the disk 11 is rotated simultaneously with the rotation of the traverse feed motor 9, and the central calculation is performed using the GU pulse applied to the hole 11a as a timing pulse. The input signal to the processing device 13 is a VC.

A holder position detecting means 22 having a configuration similar to that described above is provided on the output shaft of the vertical feed remoter 5, and the output thereof is input to the central processing unit 13.

The card holder 2 is provided with a card detection means 19 consisting of a Sui-Sochi Katake photointerrupter or the like for detecting the insertion of the information input card 1, and this output signal is input to the central processing unit 13. .

Furthermore, head initial position detection means 23 and holder initial position detection means 24 are provided in association with the head block 6 and card holder 2, respectively, and their outputs are input to the central processing unit 13.

The central processing unit 13 has a read-only memory 14.
0 time display device 15. It is mounted on a printed circuit board 18 together with a current time setting key 16 and a mode switching switch 17, and are vertically connected to each other. Further, this central processing unit 1i13 functionally includes a horizontal feed motor grinding section 13a, a vertical feed remote control subsection 13b, a reading control section 13c, and a print control section as shown in FIG. 13d
and a clock section 13e.

To explain how it works, this printer with reading function:
Mode change switch 17”kl~READJ-f: -
When the card F is set and the information input card 1 is inserted into the card holder 2, a signal is generated from the card detection means 19, and the transverse feed motor 9 is activated by the signal from the transverse feed motor control section 13a.
rotates in the normal direction, and rotates the head blogging spacing cam 7 via the reduction gear train 8. 10 heads, 7 cams, to
The Radblock 6 is reciprocated left and right. Hevdobro,
The reading card 6bVi provided with the block 61C faces the information entry surface of the information input card l, and reads the data on the information input card 1 together with the width of the reading block 6. To read: The data read by the radar 6b and converted into W and Q signals is processed by the sensor circuit 20, and then sequentially stored in the memory 25 of the reading control unit 13c.

After one line of data group with information input card l is read,
The feed motor 9 continues to rotate in the forward direction until the head initial position detection means 23 issues a signal, thereby moving the head block 6 in the opposite direction and returning to its original position. At this time, the vertical feed motor control section 1.3b rotates the vertical feed remoter 5 forward for one hour based on the holder position @ detection means 22vC, and rotates the card holder grinding cam 3 by using four reduction gear trains.

By the rotation of the card holder system cam 3 of C, the card holder 2 is transferred in the direction of -F by a certain amount, and the information input card 1 is transferred downward by a certain amount. As a result, the data group in the next row after the data group read from the information input card 1 will be located on the movement trajectory of the reading pad 6b of the head pro bag.

Therefore, the lateral feed motor control section 13a controls the lateral feed motor 9v.
l-Let's rotate forward again, and repeat the movement f@.

Then, when the reading of the most important data group of the information input card 1 is completed, the vertical feed motor control section 13b causes the vertical feed motor 5 to rotate forward for a certain period of time based on the holder position detection means 22. After that, the card holder 2 is moved upward and stopped at the original position by continuing normal rotation until the holder initial position detection means 24 issues a signal.

Therefore, when the information input card 11Ft is removed, the mode changeover switch 17 is set to Thr PRINT J mode, and the input information confirmation card is inserted into the card holder 2, the print control unit 13d reads the data stored in the memory 25Vc and prints this data. The printer head 6a prints out the input information at a predetermined position on the confirmation card.

The movements of the card holder 2 and the card holder 6 in this case are the same as when reading data.

On the other hand, the clock section 13e displays the current time on the time display device 15Vc, and the mode switching switch 17 t-r TIME
SET If set to J mode, current time setting key 16
The current time can be set by operating .

In addition, the mode selector switch 17 is set to rcONT ROL.
When set to J mode, various controls are performed based on the input time information. It can be carried out.

1:49'' is printed out.

In this way, in this embodiment, the printer head lower a and the reading head 6b are integrally formed in close proximity to each other and are operated by a single drive system.

Only one system is required, and it is possible to achieve lJS type design and cost reduction.

As described above, the printer with a reading function of the present invention includes a printer head, a printer head drive system for driving a lead to the printer, and a proximal body that is integrally formed with the printer head to drive the printer head. Since it is equipped with a reading head driven by the system, it has the effect of achieving downsizing and cost reduction.
