Meanwhile, although not shown in the drawing, the POS printer apparatus of the present invention may include a receiver for transmitting the payment details and the approval result of the settlement object from the POS system to the receipt output unit 100.

The receiving unit provides a wired or wireless communication network between the POS system and the receipt output unit 100. For example, a communication network used for communication is a service for transmitting and receiving a large amount of data through an Internet Protocol (IP) It can be an i-bimnet that provides a data service without a phenomenon, or an All IP network that is an i-bimetal network that integrates different networks based on IP. Also, the communication network may be a wired communication network, a mobile communication network (2G, 3G, 4G, LTE), a Wibro (Wireless Broadband) network, a HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) network, a satellite communication network and a WiFi Any suitable one can be selectively used.

To this end, the receiving unit includes a communication module for supporting wired and wireless communication including a serial module (UART) for connecting a wired line such as a dedicated line and xDSL, a LAN port, and a serial module for connecting wireless such as a CDMA modem and a TRS modem It is natural that it should be provided.

The force printer device of the present invention may include a power consuming unit for supplying power to the receipt output unit 100, the order table output unit 200, the printing unit 300, and the receiving unit .

For example, the power supply unit may include a conversion circuit for converting and processing the input power required by the respective components in receiving the commercial power from the outside and supplying the same to the force printer apparatus. In addition, the stabilization circuit, / Current interruption circuit, and an overload prevention circuit.

The POS printer device of the present invention may further include a casing 500 that accommodates the respective components, that is, the receipt output unit 100, the order table output unit 200, and the printing unit 300.

2, the casing 500 includes an outlet 510 for discharging an object to be printed from the printing unit 300, an 'output switch' 520 for inputting the first request signal, And a 'reset switch' 530 for inputting the second request signal, respectively.

FIG. 3 is a side sectional view showing a heat radiation structure according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a partial detail view of FIG.

In the POS printer device of the present invention, as described above, one printing unit 300 receives a print command signal from the receipt output unit 100 and the order table output unit 200 and issues a waiting order table together with the receipt do. Since the heat due to the overload is added to the heat of the printing unit 300 itself due to the concurrent function of the force printer apparatus, it is preferable that the force printer apparatus of the present invention should design the apparatus in consideration of heat radiation first.

In general printing apparatuses including the force printer apparatus of the present invention, heat generation may cause malfunction of the apparatus, deteriorate performance of the apparatus, and shorten the life of the apparatus.

Therefore, in the present invention, heat dissipation efficiency can be doubled by adding a heat dissipation structure through the casing (500).

Specifically, the force printer apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention is attached to the receipt output unit 100, the order table output unit 200, and the printing unit 300 to be in contact with the back surface of the casing 500, respectively And a heat dissipation pad 540 made of a soft material for transmitting the heat generated from the receipt output unit 100, the order table output unit 200 and the printing unit 300 to the casing 500 .

The casing 500 according to this embodiment forms a partially sealed space in order to protect the respective housings contained therein. Basically, the material of the casing 500 is made of a thermally conductive material so that the heat of the heat- (500). At this time, if the casing 500 is made of a thermally conductive material, its type is not limited.

The heat radiating pads 540 are attached to the back surface of the casing 500 at a plurality of positions facing each other, that is, the receipt output unit 100, the order table output unit 200 and the printing unit 300, A material having a high thermal conductivity is used as well as a soft material so that the heat from the receipt output unit 100, the order table output unit 200 and the printing unit 300 is contacted with the upper portion of the casing 500, .

The heat radiation pad 540 may be made of a soft material even in the case of the receipt output unit 100, the order table output unit 200, and the printing unit 300 in which the position and height of the casing 500 do not coincide with each other And the height of each structure is corrected so that the structures are mutually close to each other.

In addition, it is possible to control the occurrence of defects such as scratches even in the case of close contact with the respective components by the flexible material, so that the heat transfer is possible without degrading the structural performance between the respective components.

For example, the heat dissipation pad 540 may include a silicone resin as a main body, and may include a silicone resin and a filler having thermal conductivity to ensure thermal conductivity and ductility. Herein, the thermally conductive fillers are various known materials, so their explanation is omitted.

Preferably, the heat radiation pad 540 has a thermal conductivity of 0.7 W / (m · K) or more. The heat output pad 100, the order table output unit 200, and the printing unit 300, So that the heat generated by the heat exchanger 500 is efficiently transferred to the casing 500 to dissipate heat.

It is preferable that the hardness of the heat-radiating pad 540 is low, that is, high in ductility, so that it can absorb thermal expansion or distortion at high temperature. However, the height difference of each constitution It is preferable that the hardness is 20 or more and 93 or less in an Asuka C type hardness meter so as to be sufficiently relaxed.

3, it is proper that the heat radiation pads 540 adjacent to each other are not in contact with each other. This is because the flow of heat generated in the receipt output unit 100, the order table output unit 200 and the printing unit 300 Directional flow in the order of the receipt output unit 100, the order table output unit 200, and the printing unit 300 → the heat radiation pad 540 → the casing 500.

That is, when there is a contact between the heat-radiating pads 540, the amount of heat generated in each of the heat-radiating pads 540 is different. Therefore, the heat is transmitted from the specific heat- .

On the other hand, the heat-radiating pad 540 is attached to the back surface of the casing 500 by a primer. Even if the primer itself acts as a heat shield layer or thermally conducts the primer, microcracks and temperature differences The heat transfer efficiency from the heat radiating pad 540 to the casing 500 may be lowered due to the formation of a partial thermal crack due to micro cracks or the like caused by elongation of the casing 500.

4, the heat radiation pad 540 may be attached to the casing 500 by the heat radiation primer 550, and the heat radiation primer 550 may be formed of a silicone resin 100 30 to 120 parts by weight of the nano diamond powder, 30 to 120 parts by weight of the linear metal powder, 1 to 3 parts by weight of the glycols and 0.5 to 1 part by weight of the tannin.

The silicone resin functions as a binder of other composition and is preferably made of the same kind of the heat-dissipating pad 540 so as to enhance the adhesion.

The nanodiamond powder has an excellent heat conduction characteristic and a micropore, so that the heat dissipation function is increased by increasing the surface area. The reason for limiting the blending amount of the nano-diamond as described above is that it is difficult to expect a sufficient heat-dissipating function when added in an amount less than the blending amount, and when the blending amount exceeds the above blending amount, As well.

However, such a coating layer may induce microcracks due to a temperature difference or the like in a curing process after application, and such microcracks lower the thermal conductivity and consequently interfere with the heat radiation function.

Thus, in this embodiment, the linear metal powder is further added, and the cross-linking action of the paste is performed by the metal powder forming the linear shape, thereby relaxing the tensile force generated in the paste in the curing process and elongation by temperature difference, It is.

For example, when titanium dioxide is used as a nano metal, a basic aqueous solution is prepared, titanium dioxide is added to the basic aqueous solution in an appropriate weight ratio and stirred, and the thus- And then the mixture is reacted at a high temperature for an appropriate time, and after the reaction, the solvent and impurities are removed to crystallize the mixture.

The linear metal powder produced by the various known methods has the same function as the reinforcing fiber in the paste and has a linear structure while nanoing it using a metal material having a high thermal conductivity and a high tensile strength, .

In other words, in the case of a general metal powder, it has a shape close to a sphere and functions only as a filler in a paste. In this embodiment, a linear metal powder is added to reinforce the tensile strength of the paste. In this way, even when microcracks of the paste are controlled or microcracks are generated, the gap of the microcracks is connected to the linear metal powder, so that the heat is transferred through the gap of the microcracks.

The reason why the linear metal powder is added is that the air is conducted during the application of the primer, and this air is a point to deteriorate the thermal conductivity in the future, so that the linear metal powder is carried by the collision with the air So that the air is physically ejected.

On the other hand, in order to control the surface cracking by evaporation of the solvent in the primer, not the crack due to the temperature difference in the curing process of the primer, the heat radiation primer 550 is further blended with the glycol.

The glycols lower the capillary tension when the solvent is evaporated in the pores of the paste, thereby reducing the internal tensile stress, thereby inducing shrinkage reduction after curing. That is, cracks due to shrinkage.

Preferably, the glycols are at least one member selected from the group consisting of butyldiglycol, butyltriglycol, butylglycol, methyldiglycol, butylpolyglycol, ethylpolyglycol, methyltriglycol and ethylglycol. .

On the other hand, in the process of compounding and applying the primer, the metal ions may be eluted to the surface and the adhesion of the metal ions may be lowered at the interface between the heat dissipation primer 550 and the heat dissipation pad 540 by adhesion or the like. The heat dissipation primer 550 may further include tannins which can control the elution of metal ions to the surface through binding with metal ions or the like, thereby solving the above problems.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Therefore, the technical scope of the present invention should not be limited to the contents described in the detailed description of the specification, but should be defined by the claims.
