Description

Recording paper mounting structure of car-operated recorder {A RECORDING PAPER MOUNTING STRUCTURE IN AUTOMOBILE OPERATION RECORDER}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a motor vehicle recorder for recording information such as travel speed and mileage of an automobile on a recording sheet in a carrier mounted on a holder.

The general-purpose vehicle operation recorder that records information about vehicle driving speed and mileage is a so-called round type vehicle operation recorder that opens and closes case-receiving meters such as tachometers and odometers and is installed in the recorder mounted on the instrument panel.

However, this round-type car-operated recorder has meters such as tachometers and odometers arranged on the front of the case, and the recording sheet is arranged on the back of the case so that it is parallel to the scale plate of the meter and occupied by the recorder. The drawback is that the area is large and other meters arranged on the instrument panel need to be as large as the recording paper for equilibrium, limiting the design freedom of the instrument panel.

Applicant of the present invention therefore proposes a motor vehicle operation in which a tray unit or cartridge having a rotary table holding the recording paper horizontally, i.e., a recording paper carrier rotatably holding the recording paper, is removed from or inserted into the record body and the meter is formed separately from the carrier. Suggested a recorder. The applicant also proposed a structure in which the tray unit or cartridge is automatically removed from or inserted into the recorder body such that the recording paper is positioned in position relative to the recording needle in the recorder body.

In the vehicle operation recorder, the operation information is recorded by recording needles of a recording mechanism disposed on the cartridge on a recording sheet horizontally positioned on the cartridge accommodated in the recording body. In this operation recorder, since the cartridge is removed from the recorder case, the recording sheet in the cartridge is accurately positioned for the recording needle to record correct recording information on the recording sheet.

In view of this situation, an object of the present invention is to mount a recording sheet of an operation recorder capable of positioning the recording sheet to correctly record the operation information on the recording sheet mounted on the cartridge, in particular on the recording sheet received on the carrier mounted on the holder of the recorder case.

In the recording paper mounting structure of the motor vehicle recorder according to the invention described in claim 1, the protrusion of the holder is aligned with the cutout of the carrier when the carrier is mounted to the holder. If the alignment is not completed, the carrier corner is joined to the protrusion of the holder so that the carrier cannot be received in the holder. Therefore, when the carrier is not received in the holder, the cutout of the carrier is reliably aligned with the protrusion of the holder and the carrier is correctly positioned in the holder.

Therefore, this prevents the carrier from being received in the holder so that the carrier is in the wrong or incorrect position. Therefore, the recording sheet is prevented from being incorrectly biased with respect to the recording needle so that the operation information is recorded accurately on the recording sheet.

In the recording paper mounting structure of the automobile operation recorder according to the present invention as described in claim 2, the mounting of the carrier in the holder in the upside down and the opposite directions is prevented so as to accurately record the operation information on the recording paper.

In the recording paper mounting structure of the motor vehicle recorder according to the present invention as described in claim 3 or 4, the carrier and the locking member of the holder are coupled to each other so that the carrier accommodated in the holder can be correctly positioned in the carrier mounting direction. Accordingly, the recording paper in the carrier accommodated in the holder is accurately positioned with respect to the recording needle to allow improved recording of operation information on the recording paper in precision.

In the recording paper mounting structure of the motor vehicle recorder according to the invention described in claim 5, the first and second locking members provided in the holder and the carrier, respectively, are coupled to each other. Similarly, the third and fourth locking members provided in the holder and the carrier are coupled to each other. The carrier is thus fastened to the holder from front to back to ensure the positioning of the carrier in the holder in the carrier loading direction.

In the recording paper mounting structure of the motor vehicle recorder according to the present invention described in claim 6, the holding member of the holder prevents the recording paper from flowing in the carrier. This maintains an accurate gap between the recording paper and the carrier, allowing for improved recording of operational information in precision.

Furthermore, in the recording paper mounting structure of the motor vehicle recorder according to the invention described in claim 7, the holder guide portion guides the holder to the position of the carrier even if the carrier is deviated laterally or vertically with respect to the holder. So that the carrier is correctly received in the holder. This easily achieves that the recording sheet is correctly positioned with respect to the recording needle.

As the inner frame 42 moves rearward relative to the outer frame 46, the guide pins 34c, 34e of the holder 31 move from the rear end to the corresponding guide grooves 44d, 44m of the inner frame 42. Relative to the upper side so that the guide pin 34d moves from the lower end toward the upper end of the vertical groove 48f of the holder guide groove 48d of the outer frame 46.

As a result, the holder 31 is conveyed upward with respect to the inner frame 42 and the outer frame 46. As shown in the right side view of FIG. 31, when the guide pin 44n and the guide screw 44p reach the rear of the inner frame guide grooves 48b and 48c, the guide pin 34d is almost at the upper end of the vertical groove 48f. Reached simultaneously so that the bottom plate 32 separates upward from the bottom plate 43 of the inner frame 42 and the left and right retaining plates 35 and 36 are positioned below the recording mechanism mounted to the outer frame 46. The holder 31 is moved to the recording position.

At the recording position of the holder 31, the front end of the side plate 44 of the inner frame 44 retreats backward from the front end of the extension portion 48a of the outer frame 46. The front end of the guide protrusion 34f is further retracted rearward from the front end of the side plate 44.

In Fig. 31, reference numeral 47e denotes a positioning pin that projects downward from the bottom of the base plate 47 and positions the cartridge 17 loaded in the holder 31 at the recording position. This positioning pin 47e is formed to fit into the positioning projection 19b of the mounting shaft 19a of the rotary table 19 in the cartridge 17 loaded on the holder 31 at the recording position.

Next, the printed circuit board 10 is fixed on the housing plate 8 of the upper case 5 by screws. The support lever 54 is suspended from a part of the accommodating plate 8 to the right side of the printed circuit board 10 and is vibrable with respect to the shaft 53. The coil spring 58 is sleeve-coupled to a portion of the shaft 53 protruding onto the receiving plate 8. The locking member 57 is also mounted on the upper end of the shaft 53 and the ends of the coil spring 58 are fixed to the locking member 57 and the receiving plate 8. In this state, the light interrupter 66 mounted on the printed circuit board 65 is arranged on the focal point of the light shielding plate 62 which moves as the gear 61 rotates.

The rotational position of the gear 61 relative to the support plate 64 is set such that the light shield plate 62 is located between the two end portions of the light interrupter 66. The set screw (not shown) then enters into the four corners of the base plate 47 of the outer frame 46 from below and vertically downwards from the four corners of the bottom of the top plate 6 of the upper case 5. The holder 31 and the transfer mechanism 41 are mounted on the upper case 5 in a state where the side plates 48 and 48 of the outer frame 46 face the front end by being fastened into an extended protrusion (not shown).

With the holder 31 and the transfer mechanism 41 mounted on the upper case 5, the printed circuit boards 65 and 10 pass through the connector cable 67 through the opening 7a of the connecting plate 7 (Fig. 8).

In the state where the holder 31 and the transfer mechanism 41 are mounted on the upper case 5, the pin 52 is engaged with the gear 61 by the gear 56a of the gear portion 56 of the support lever 54. The side edges of the lever 54 are in a protruding position which abuts against the stepped portions of the bottom surface of the storage plate 8. In this state, the pin 52 is bottom plate 32 from the gap between the guide plate 36b and the side plate 34 of the holding plate 36 located on the right side of the holder 31 in the mounting / removing position. It is located at a position closer to the left side plate 34 than to the right side plate 34 protruding inwardly of the holder 31 toward.

In this state, the light shielding plate 62 of the gear 61 is the bifurcated ends of the light interrupter 66 in the protruding position where the pin 52 is located on the inner side surface of the right side plate 34 of the holder 31. It is located in between to block the detected light (not shown) and turn off the light interrupter 66. The cartridge 17 is not yet inserted into the holder 31 and is therefore empty.

When the cartridge 17 is inserted into the empty holder 31, both sides of the cartridge body 18 of the cartridge 17 contact the inner surface of the vertical surface 34b of the both side plates 34 and 34 of the holder 31. Thereby applying the minimum holding force required of the cartridge 17 from the holder 31 to the cartridge 17 to follow the longitudinal movement of the holder 31. In the very early stages of cartridge insertion, before the minimum holding force acts on the cartridge 17, the cartridge 17 pushes the pins 52 from the front end of the outer frame 46 to the rear end and the force of the coil spring 58 By vibrating the support lever 54 against it, the pin 52 is pushed outward of the side plate 34 of the holder 312.

When the support plate 54 is vibrated by the pin 52 as it is pushed, the gear 61 meshed with the gear 56a of the gear portion 56 is rotated, so that the gear breaker 66 is rotated as shown in FIG. The light shielding plate 62 located between the bifurcated ends causes the light shielding plate 62 to be retracted from between the bifurcated ends as shown in the enlarged plan view of FIG.

As a result, the optical path of the light circuit breaker 66 for the detection light blocked by the light shield plate 62 is removed to turn on the light circuit breaker 66. The light interrupter 66 thus detects whether the cartridge 17 has been inserted completely or incompletely into the holder 31.

Conversely, when the cartridge 17 inserted in the holder 31 is pulled out until the holding force of the holder 31 no longer acts on the cartridge 17, the force of the coil spring 58 becomes The support lever 54 vibrates in a direction opposite to the direction in which the vibration vibrates when it is inserted, thereby pressing the pin 52 pushed out of the side plate 34 of the holder 31 by the cartridge 17 so as to press the side plate ( Return to the inside of 34).

Vibration of the support lever 54 accompanied by the return movement of the pin 52 then rotates the gear 61 so that the light shield plate 62 retracted out of the light path of the light circuit breaker 66 on the light path. The light interrupter 66 is turned off by blocking the detection light. At this time, the light interrupter 66 detects whether the cartridge 17 is completely removed from the holder 31 and the holder 31 is empty.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the set screw 81 is inserted into the mounting piece 13z of the front plate 13 of the front panel 11 to which the lock 13d is fitted from below. The set screw 81 is then self-tapping into the bottom hole (not shown) in the corresponding screw receiving member 8a of the receiving plate 8 of the upper case 5 to fasten the front panel 11. It is fixed to the front end of the upper case (5).

In this state, as shown in FIG. 33, the intermediate portion of the operating lever 13r of the lock 13d is disposed on the switch 10a mounted upward on the printed circuit board 10. As shown in FIG.

Then, the key 13a inserted into the key hole 13g of the cylinder 13f rotates the cylinder 13f from the normal position to the open / closed position against the force of the coil spring 13w to move the middle of the operating lever 13r. The part is turned to vibrate about the pivot shaft 13v to press the switch 10a to turn on the switch as shown in FIG.

When the cylinder 13f is released from the rotational force of the key 13a, the coil spring 13w pressurizes the cylinder 13f to return to the normal position from the rotational position so that the intermediate portion of the operating lever 13r is shown in FIG. Likewise to be separated upward from the switch (10a).

In the state where the front panel 11 is mounted at the front end of the upper case 5, the clock setting button 13c is disposed in front of the switch 10b mounted facing forward on the printed circuit board 10. As shown in FIG. Pressing the clock setting button 13c causes the switch 10b to be pressed to turn on the switch. When the clock setting button 13c is released, the clock setting button 13c is separated forward from the switch 10b to turn off the switch.

The pilot lamp 13x is exposed forward from the front plate 13.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, both side surfaces of the lower end of the cover 14 are pivotally attached to the hinges 3e and 3e together with the coil springs 3f at the front ends of the bottom plate 3 of the lower case 2. It is. The lower case 2 has the front case 11, the holder 31, and the upper case 5 on which the transfer mechanism 41 is mounted while the cover 14 is opened flatly in front of the lower case 2. It is located underneath so that the upper and lower cases are aligned in the longitudinal direction.

For this purpose, the engaging pieces 16a, 16a of the mounting plate 16 are previously inserted into the mounting grooves (not shown) of the recesses 9a of the side plates 9 of the upper case 5. The engaging pieces 16b and 16b of these mounting plates 16 are inserted into the mounting grooves 4b and 4b of the recesses 4a and 4a of the lower case 2 and the lower case 2 is attached to the upper case 5. ) And the mounting plate 16 is mounted on both side surfaces of the upper and lower cases 5 and 2.

The engaging pieces 16a and 16a of the mounting plate 16 inserted into the mounting grooves (not shown) of the upper case 5 and the mounting grooves 4b of the lower case 2 are located next to the mounting plate 16. The push pieces 9c and 4c of the upper and lower casings 5 and 2 positioned on the recesses 9a and 4a are pressed out of the recorder body 1 in the mounting grooves and come into contact with their backs. Thus, the mounting plate 16 is prevented from loosening into the inner portion of the recorder body 1.

After the mounting plate 16 is mounted on both sides of the upper and lower cases 5 and 2, the end portions of the protrusions 9b and 9b on both sides in front of the upper case 5 are provided with protrusions of the lower case 2. Engaging grooves 3d, which are inserted into 3a and 3a and engaging pieces 48g and 48g of side plates 48 and 48 of the outer frame 46 are formed on the upper surface of the bottom plate 3 of the lower case 2, respectively. Inserted into 3d).

The mounting screws 68 and 68 are inserted from under the bottom plate 3 through the holes (not shown) of the lower case 2, and through the portion of the bottom plate 3 on which the protrusion storing portions 3a and 3a are formed. It enters into the projection storing parts 3a and 3a. The mounting screws are then fastened in a self tapping manner into the bottom holes (not shown) of the projections 9b and 9b of the upper case 5.

As a result, the upper and lower cases 5 and 2 are connected at the front and the hinges 3e and 3e at the front of the lower case 2 are covered by the lower end of the front plate 13 of the front panel 11 so that they can be separated from the outside. It is hidden. When the cover 14 is released from the open state, the pressing force of the coil spring 3f is determined by the stopper formed at the inner edge of the cartridge insertion / removal port 13y of the front plate 13 of the front panel 11. Rotate the cover 14 toward the upright position until it is locked in the closed position to close the cartridge insertion / removal port 13y.

With the upper and lower cases connected from the front, the printed circuit board 72 and the power transistor 73 are mounted on the heat dissipation plate 15 through the mounting frame 74, and the female connector in front of the connector hole 15d. Place 75.

While inserting the mounting piece 15c into the positioning portion 6k at the rear of the upper case 5, the mounting pieces 15b on both sides of the mounting piece 15c are provided with the corresponding recesses 6a of the upper case 5. ) And the mounting piece 15a is inserted into the recess 3b of the lower case 2 to fit the heat dissipation plate 15 to the rear of the upper and lower cases 5 and 2.

The mounting screw 69a is then inserted from the outside into a hole (not shown) in the mounting pieces 15a and 15a and fastened into the bottom hole 6c of the screw receiving members 3c and 6c in a self-tapping manner. At the same time, the mounting screw 69b inserted into the blank hole 6d of the upper case 5 is fastened into the hole 6f by the same self tapping method as the mounting screw 69a, as shown in the enlarged cross-sectional view of the main part of FIG. The front end of the mounting screw 69b passes through the hole 15e of the mounting piece 15c. The cap 6h is inserted into the blank hole 6d to fit the locking piece 6e in the annular groove 6j of the cap 6h to bring the blank hole 6d close to the cap 6h. Now the upper and lower cases 5 and 2 are also connected at the rear side to complete the assembly of the recorder body 1.

Thus, the assembled recorder body 1 is inserted into the console box from behind, and the mounting screw hole formed in the side wall of the console box and the threaded hole 16c formed in the mounting plate 16 on both sides of the recorder body 1 Fixing screws (not shown) aligned with each other and inserted into the mounting grooves from the back of the console box are fastened into the threaded holes 16c of the mounting plate 16.

Since the push pieces 9c and 4c of the upper and lower cases 5 and 2 remove the gap of the mounting plate 16 into the inside of the recorder body 1 by engaging the mounting plate 16, the recorder body ( 1) is firmly mounted in the car's console box.

When the holder 31 is in the recording position with the assembly of the recorder body 1 completed, the light shielding piece 43d of the inner frame 42 is heat dissipation plate 15 as shown in the left side view of FIG. Is positioned between the bifurcated portions of the light interrupter 71 on the printed circuit board 72 mounted on the circuit board 72 to block the detection light (not shown) to turn off the light interrupter 71.

Meanwhile, as shown in the left side view of FIG. 37, the holder 31 is moved downward from the recording position in a state where the bottom plate 43 of the inner frame 42 and the bottom plate 32 of the holder 31 are in contact with each other. When or when the holder 31 is positioned in the mount / detach position as shown in the left side view of Fig. 38, the light shielding piece 43d of the inner frame 42 is separated from between the bifurcated portions of the light blocker 71. It retreats forward to secure the optical path of the detection light and to turn on the light interrupter 71. The light interrupter 71 now detects that the holder 31 is separated from the recording position.

On the contrary, when the holder 31 conveyed from the mounting / removing position reaches the recording position, the light shielding piece 43d retracted from the optical path of the detection light of the optical blocker 71 returns to the optical path to block and stops. Turn off (71). The light interrupter 71 now detects whether the holder 31 is located at the recording position.

With the assembly of the recorder body 1 completed, the holder 31 is temporarily lowered from the recording position when the empty holder 31 is transferred to the mounting / removing position by the reverse rotation of the motor 70 at the recording position. It is placed in contact with the frame 42 and then moves forward with the inner frame 42. At this time, as shown in FIG. 39, the front end of the guide protrusion 34f of the side plates 34 and 34 abuts against the rear portion of the cover 14 on the lower end pivotally supported by the hinge 3e. . Further forward movement of the holder 31 and the inner frame 42 pushes open the cover 14 against the force of the coil spring 3f.

When the holder 31 and the inner frame 42 move further forward and the front end of the bottom plate 32 of the holder 31 projects forward from the front end of the bottom plate 3 of the lower case 2, the holder ( The front end of the bottom plate 32 of 31 abuts against the rear part of the cover 14 lower than the portion where the front end of the guide protrusion 34F engages as shown in FIG.

Then, as the holder 31 and the inner frame 42 move further forward, the front end of the bottom plate 32 abuts against the lower end of the rear side of the cover 14, which is about to start opening, and the guide protrusion 34F The front end is separated from the back of the cover 14. The front end of the bottom plate 32 then slides open the cover 14 and when the holder 31 reaches a certain mounting / detachment position, the cover 14 has the bottom plate 43 on both sides of the cover 14. It is almost completely open in the spanned state. 41, the bottom plate 32 then slides from the lower end side to the upper end side behind the cover 14 until the holder 31 reaches the mounting / removing position.

Conversely, when the empty holder 31 is transferred to the recording position by forward rotation of the motor 70 in the mounting / removing position, the holder 31 together with the inner frame 42 moves backward so that the bottom plate 32 is covered. (14) is made to slide from the upper end side to the lower end side. When the holder 31 moves backwards and the front end of the bottom plate 32 is brought closer to the lower end of the cover 14, the force of the coil spring 3f is in contact with the front end of the bottom plate 32. The cover 14 is in close proximity to the back of the bottom plate 32.

The front end of the bottom plate 32 is behind the cover 14 when the holder 31 moves back so that the front end of the bottom plate 32 is closer to the aft of the bottom plate 3 of the lower case 2 than the front end. It is separated from and abuts against the front end of the guide protrusion 34f. Thereafter, as the holder 31 moves further rearward, the force of the coil spring 3f presses the cover 14 to bring it closer to the rear portion kept in contact with the front end of the guide protrusion 34f.

When the holder 31 moves further back and reaches a point just below the recording position, the cover 14 completely closes the cartridge insertion / removing port 13y and the cover 14 is inside the cartridge insertion / removing port 13y. Abutment against a stopper (not shown) provided at the edge prevents further closure of the cover 14. Thus, when the holder 31 reaches the point just below the recording position, the front end of the guide protrusion 34f is separated from the back of the cover 14.

The cartridge instead of the front end of the guide projection 34f of the side plates 34 and 34 when the holder 31 loaded with the cartridge 17 is transferred from the recording position to the mounting / removing position by the reverse rotation of the motor 70. The rear lower end portion of (17) abuts against the rear portion of the cover 14 above the cover lower end pivotally supported by the hinge 3e as shown in FIG.

As the holder 31 and the inner frame 42 move further forward, the front end of the bottom plate 32 abuts against the lower end of the back of the cover 14 which begins to open and the lower end of the rear of the cartridge 17. Is separated from behind the cover 14. Thereafter, the cover 14 is opened continuously until the holder 31 reaches the mounting / removing position as in the case of the empty holder 31.

Conversely, when the holder 31 loaded with the cartridge 17 is transferred to the recording position by the forward rotation of the motor 70, until the front end of the bottom plate 32 is close to the lower end of the cover 14 to some extent. The cover 14 is continuously closed in the same manner as in the case of the empty holder 31 while the holder 31 moves rearward. Thereafter, as the holder 31 is continuously moved backwards, the pressing force of the holder 31 is brought into close proximity after the cover 14 is kept in contact with the lower end of the rear of the cartridge 17.

As the holder 31 moves further back and reaches a point just below the recording position, the cover 14 completely closes the cartridge insertion / removing port 13y and the stopper (not shown) of the cartridge insertion / removing port 13y. ) Stops further closing of the cover 14. When the holder 31 reaches a point just below the recording position, the rear end of the cartridge 17 is separated from the back of the cover 14.

Then, when the holder 31 loaded with the cartridge 17 reaches the recording position, the positioning pin 47e protruding downward from the base plate 47 of the outer frame 46 is mounted on the mounting shaft of the cartridge 17. The 7-day recording paper 21 on the cartridge 17 is positioned with respect to the recording mechanism not shown and fitted into the positioning projection 19b formed on the 19a, and the recording needle (not shown) of the recording mechanism is at the top. It comes into contact with the recording paper 21a.

In the state where the recording body 1 is completely assembled, a space is formed behind the clock 13a of the front panel 11 on the left side of the transfer mechanism 41 in the upper and lower cases 5 and 2. In this space, the motor 82 (see FIG. 43) and a gear train (not shown) are installed prior to the assembly of the upper and lower cases. The motor 82 supplies the driving gear of the cartridge 17 via one of the gear trains to rotate the table 19 and also powers the clock 13a through another gear train branching from the first gear train. do.

The drive gear in the gear train (not shown) is exposed out of the cartridge body 18 from the open shutter 18g of the cartridge 17 by positioning the holder 31 loaded with the cartridge 17 in the recording position. Meshes with a driven gear (not shown). The power of the motor 82 is transmitted to the holder 31 at the recording position through the gear train including the drive gear in the upper and lower cases 5 and 2 and the gear train including the driven gear in the cartridge body 18. It is delivered to the rotary table 19 of the loaded cartridge 17.

The motor 82 always rotates only in the forward direction at a constant speed with time. In the state where the drive gear and the driven gear (both are not shown) are engaged, the rotation table 19 rotates in the direction of advancing the time scale (not shown) formed on the 7-day recording paper 21. The clock 13a moves in the direction in which time advances.

Moreover, the base plate 35a of the left holding plate 35 is located directly above the recording paper 21a provided downstream from the cutter 18c. This prevents the 7-day recording sheet 21 from rising from the recording sheet receiving portion 18b, so that an accurate vertical gap between the recording needle and the recording sheet 21 is ensured.

When the vehicle operation is stopped and the recording of the vehicle driving information on the 7-day recording sheet 21 is completed, the key 13a inserted into the keyhole 13g of the lock 13d rotates the cylinder 13f from the normal position to the open / close position. Is turned on.

The holder 31 then moves downward from the recording position to separate the recording paper 21a from the recording needle in contact with the recording needle of an unillustrated recording mechanism. The cover 14 is then opened and the holder 31 loaded with the cartridge 17 is transferred from the recording position to the mounting / removing position. Then, the cartridge 17 is completely removed from the holder 31 in the resting state at the mounting / removing position.

The skin plate 36c of the right holding plate 36 facing the portion of the recording paper 21a of the 7-day recording paper 21 immediately upstream of the cutter 18c in the rotational direction of the rotary table 19 is the skin plate 36c. ) And the bottom plate 32 are inclined so as to gradually increase toward the holding plate 35. Therefore, when the cartridge 17 is removed from the holder 31 in the mounting / detaching position, the cover plate 36c extends almost parallel to the cutter 18e in the cartridge 17 loaded in the holder 31.

Similarly, in the rotational direction of the rotary table 19 of the right holding plate 36 arranged at one position to pass by the portion of the recording sheet 21a of the seven-day recording sheet 21 immediately upstream of the cutter 18c. The outer edge plate 36d has a height from the bottom plate 32 that is equal to the height of the portion of the cover plate 36 closest to the retaining plate 35.

This structure provides the following advantages when removing the cartridge 17 from the holder 31 in the mount / detach position. When the connecting tape 21j proximate to the supporting plate 21e is cut by the cutter body 18e and the edge portion of the notch 21c abuts against the stop piece 18f, the recording paper 21a is used as another unrecorded recording paper ( It is isolated from 21a) and stops rotating. Recorded recording paper 21a upstream of the notch 21c in the rotational direction of the rotary table 19 spanning the cutter body 18e when the cartridge 17 is removed from the holder 31 in the mounting / removing position in this state. The portion of is not in contact with the retaining plate 36. This prevents the recorded recording paper 21a from grasping the right retaining plate 36 to reliably prevent it from being damaged when the cartridge 17 is removed.

The key 13A inserted into the key hole 13g of the lock 13d after the cartridge 17 is completely removed from the holder 31 in the mounting / removing position rotates the cylinder 13f from the normal position to the open / close position. Is turned on. This causes the cover 14 to be closed and the empty holder 31 to be transferred from the mounting / removing position to the recording position.

When the cartridge 17 is inserted into the holder 31 by a small distance less than the position at which the holding force of the holder 31 starts to act when the holder 31 is transferred from the mounting / removing position to the recording position, the holder 31 Is not transferred to the recording position even when the cylinder 31 is rotated from the normal position to the open / closed position by the key 13A inserted in the key hole 13g of the lock 13d.

Thus the non-empty holder 31 cannot be transferred from the mounting / detaching position to the recording position except by fully loading the cartridge 17 into the holder 31 and then pushing it further into the holder 31. .

When the clock setting button 13c is pressed with the holder 31 positioned at the mount / detach position in the vehicle-operated recorder of this embodiment, the clock 13a is checked whether the holder 31 is loaded with the cartridge 17 or not. Regardless, the clock setting button 13c is advanced in time while being pressed. Pressing the clock setting button 13c when the empty holder 31 is in the recording position similarly causes the clock 13a to advance in time while the clock setting button 13c is pressed.

When the holder 31 loaded with the cartridge 17 is in the recording position and the vehicle is running, the pressing operation of the clock setting button 13c is ignored and the clock 13a is not advanced.

On the other hand, when the vehicle is at rest and the holder 31 loaded with the cartridge 17 is in the recording position, pressing the clock setting button 13c causes the holder 31 to be forced from the recording position to the mounting / removing position. To be transported. When the holder 31 reaches the mounting / detaching position, the pressing operation of the clock setting button 13c is enabled and the clock 13a is advanced while the button 13c is pressed.

When the holder 31 is transferred from the mounting / removing position to the recording position, the holder 31 is pulled in the middle so that the elapsed time t1 after the forward rotation of the motor 70 is started is recorded by the holder 31. If the predetermined time T is exceeded before reaching the position, or if the motor 70 is overloaded, the motor 70 is temporarily stopped.

The motor 70 is then reversed, i.e. rotated backwards, to transfer the holder 31 towards the mount / detach position and the elapsed time after the motor 70 is reversed reaches the mount / detach position. If so, or if the motor 70 is overloaded, the motor 70 is temporarily stopped and then reversed again, ie rotated forward.

The reverse operation of the motor 70 is repeated four times in total. After the motor 70 is rotated forward for the third time including the first forward rotation, the elapsed time t1 after the forward rotation of the motor 70 is a predetermined time before the holder 31 reaches the recording position. When (T) is exceeded or when the motor 70 is overloaded, the motor 70 is stopped and the pilot lamp 13x emits light, indicating that there is an abnormality.

Conversely, when the holder 31 is transferred from the recording position to the attaching / detaching position, the holder 70 is not reversed before the holder 70 reaches the attaching / detaching position, such as when the holder 31 hangs along the way. When the elapsed time t3 exceeds the predetermined time T or when the motor 70 is overloaded, the motor 70 is temporarily stopped.

Then, the motor 70 is reversed, that is, rotated forward to transfer the holder 31 to the recording position. If the elapsed time t1 after the forward rotation of the motor 70 exceeds the predetermined time T before the holder 31 reaches the recording position, or if the motor 70 is overloaded, the motor 70 temporarily It is stopped and then reversed again, ie rotated backwards.

The reverse operation of the motor 70 is repeated four times in total. After the motor 70 is rotated rearward for a third time including the first rearward rotation, the elapsed time t1 after the rearward rotation of the motor 70 is determined before the holder 31 reaches the mounting / removing position. When the time T is exceeded or when the motor 70 is overloaded, the motor 70 is stopped and the pilot lamp 13x emits light, indicating that there is an abnormality.

In order to deal with the abnormality that occurs when the holder 31 is transferred from the recording position to the mounting / removing position, the reverse operation of the motor 70 is a clock setting button when the holder 31 loaded with the cartridge 17 is in the recording position. It is executed during the forced conveyance of the holder 31 from the recording position caused by the pressing operation of the 13C to the attaching / detaching position.

If the cylinder 13f is rotated from the normal position to the open / closed position by the key 13A while the pilot lamp 13x is turned on by an abnormality generated during transfer between the mounting / removing position and the recording position as described above. The motor 70 is reversed to transfer the holder 31 toward the mounting / removing position.
