Description

Arthroscopic Printers {PRINTING DEVICE CAPABLE OF CUTTING A PRINTING PAPER}

The present invention relates to a printer that automatically cuts and prints the printed portion, and more specifically, in providing a financial transaction history or other reports, the length of the printing paper provided can be adjusted according to the amount of printed content. Regardless of the length of the printing paper, the present invention relates to an arthroscopic printer capable of providing a printing paper safely without jam or twist, and a method of managing the printer.

In general, customers use the bank account to check the transaction history, and can also check the deposit and withdrawal details and other information through the voice call phone or banking transactions through the Internet. However, when inquiring the deposit and withdrawal details through the voice guidance phone has a disadvantage that the customer can not remember all of the large number of transactions. Of course, the transaction history can be output using the Internet, but this method also has a disadvantage in that a connection using a network and a separate printer must be used.

In order to output transaction details in a manner other than a bankbook, a method of outputting a transaction history based on a predetermined transaction history may be proposed. Since the automated teller machine is spread in public places, bank branches, convenience stores, etc., it is easy to access, and if the automated teller machine can provide transaction details, it can be easily proved in paper form without a bankbook.

In addition, the back of the paper provided for the transaction history can include a variety of guides or advertisements can be said to have a number of commercial advantages.

However, in order to provide a transaction history in the automated teller machine, a large amount of paper must be stored in the automated teller machine, and the paper consumption should be reduced to the minimum by saving paper.

Conventional printers include dot printers, laser printers, inkjet printers, and thermal printers, and these printers generally use standardized A4 paper.

However, the A4 paper used in these printers is a separate paper, which can only provide paper of the same size to all customers using the printing service. There is a problem.

In order to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide an arthroscopic printer that can be supplied by varying the length to be cut according to the amount of the output content.

Another object of the present invention is to supply a printing paper with the contents printed, cut paper by a predetermined length unit to standardize the size of the printing paper step by step, an arthroscopic printer that can facilitate the management and storage of printing paper To provide.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide an arthroscopic printer capable of safely transporting and managing printing paper having a different length according to the amount of printed content.

According to an embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above object of the present invention, the arthroscopic printer is a printer module for transporting and printing paper, a cutter located adjacent to the exit of the printer module, printing paper cut from the paper The guide includes a guide, a first feed roller and a second feed roller mounted on the upper and lower portions of the paper guide for conveying the printing paper.

The arthroscopic printer cuts the paper in different lengths according to the amount of content to be printed, and selects a region to be cut based on a predetermined unit length. For example, you can cut A4 paper in three pieces to cut one-third, two-thirds, or entire A4 paper, and determine the smallest paper size that can contain the content, depending on the amount of printing. . The printing paper provided according to the unit length prevents waste of paper, and can be easily stored and organized even when the printing paper is bundled and stored or organized.

In addition, referring to the above example, the paper conveyed from the first and second feed rollers of the arthroscopic printer is supplied in various sizes such as 1/3 section, 2/3 section or A4. Therefore, the jam or meandering of these sheets should be taken into consideration, and it should be possible to provide a comfortable management for coping efficiently on the printer.

The arthroscopic printer includes a feed roller mounted at the shortest unit of the plurality of length units, more precisely, at a slightly shorter length than the shortest unit, and a feed detection sensor for detecting the passing of printing paper adjacent to the feed roller is provided. Can be mounted.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited or limited by the embodiments.

1 is a side cross-sectional view for explaining an arthroscopic printer according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the arthroscopic printer 100 includes a printer module 110, a cutter 120, a paper guide 130, and a transfer unit 135.

The printer module 110 may be applied with various types of output devices such as totes, ink-jets, lasers, and thermal. However, the printer module 110 shown in FIG. 1 uses a thermal method, and thus includes a thermal print head 112 and a platen roller 114.

A cutter 120 is provided adjacent to the exit of the printer module 110. The cutter 120 is automatically operated by the control unit, it is possible to adjust the position to be cut in connection with the platen roller 114 of the printer module 110. In this case, the length to be cut is not linearly adjusted according to the printed content, but the length of the printing paper is set in advance, and the paper is cut according to the set length.

Various methods can be used to provide printing paper in a predetermined length unit. For example, the cutting position of the sheet may be classified step by step using the number of rotations of the platen roller, etc. Alternatively, the cutting position of the sheet may be distinguished by a black mark or other page mark. have.

An exit of the cutter 120 is provided with a paper guide 130 for guiding the cut printing paper. The paper guide 130 may include a top plate and a bottom plate, and may provide a structure for guiding the transfer of paper by the top plate and the bottom plate.

The first conveying unit 140 is mounted below the paper guide 130, and the first conveying unit 140 includes first conveying rollers 141 to 143 disposed at uniform or non-uniform intervals. The first feed rollers 141 to 143 may be mounted at the shortest unit intervals among the set length units.

In this regard, the second conveying unit 150 is formed to face the first conveying unit 140 and includes second conveying rollers 151 to 153 corresponding to the first conveying rollers 141 to 143.

The black mark sensor 125 is disposed between the printer module 110 and the cutter 120 in the paper conveyance path. The black marks are formed at uniform intervals in advance on a continuous sheet of paper, and can determine the printing position and the cutting position of the sheet through the detection of the black marks. In fact, the black mark sensor 125 is mounted before the cutter 120, the black mark sensor 125 can detect the presence or absence of the black mark formed on the paper. In addition, the controller may control the operation of the print module or the cutter depending on whether the black mark sensor 125 is detected.

2 and 3 are views for explaining a process of determining a cutting position using a black mark in the arranging printer of FIG.

2, the printer module 110 transfers a minimum distance for cutting after completing a predetermined printing. Herein, the minimum distance may include a value corresponding to a distance between the printer module 110 and the cutter 120 and a minimum margin. After transporting the minimum distance, the preparation for cutting can be completed first.

Then, the black mark sensor 125 inquires whether or not the black mark is detected. The arthroscopic printer 100 operates the cutter 120 only at the point where the black mark is detected through the black mark sensor 125, so that the position where the paper is cut at regular unit length intervals can be specified.

Referring to FIG. 3, when the black mark cannot be detected through the black mark sensor 125, the controller may transfer the paper in the forward direction until the black mark is detected. The black mark is detected through the black mark sensor 125, and the control unit may stop the transfer by the printer module 110, and cut the paper by operating the cutter 120 with the stop of the printer module 110. The printing paper provided to the customer can be separated from the paper. Printing paper cut in Figure 3 corresponds to twice the length of the shortest unit, corresponding to two-thirds the size of A4 paper.

Referring back to FIG. 1, the arthroscopic printer 100 includes transfer detection sensors 161 ˜ 163 mounted adjacent to the first transfer rollers 141 ˜ 143. The arthroscopic printer 100 according to the present embodiment is based on A4 size paper, and can provide 1/3, 2/3 or 3/3 size of A4 paper. Therefore, the shortest unit of the printing paper is 1/3 cut paper and corresponds to approximately 21 cm wide and 10 cm long. Therefore, the first feed rollers (141 to 143) are also spaced at intervals of about 7 to 9 cm, which are less than the shortest unit, and the feed detection sensors (161 to 163) are also guided at positions after the first feed rollers (141 to 143). 130 is mounted on.

By keeping the interval between the first feed rollers 141 to 143 and the second feed rollers 151 to 153 less than the shortest unit of the printing paper, all printing paper can be transferred from short printing paper to long printing paper. Since the rollers are brought in close contact with the printing paper at at least two points, skewing of the paper can be prevented.

The transfer detection sensors 161 to 163 may detect whether the printing paper passes on the basis of the passing time of another transfer detection sensor previously disposed in the transfer path of the paper or the operation time of the transfer unit. In the normal case, the printing paper passes through the transfer detection sensors 161 to 163 sequentially, whereby the control unit can check the normal transfer through the transfer detection sensors 161 to 163.

However, when one of the transfer detection sensors 161 to 163 does not detect the passing of the printing paper and exceeds a predetermined reference time, it may be assumed that the printing paper is in a jam or an abnormal state. In this case, the control unit may stop the operation of the printer module 110 and the first transfer unit 140 to prevent overload and overheating of the motor.

In addition, the controller may inform the administrator that the printer is in an abnormal state and generate a predetermined warning signal such as a warning lamp or a warning sound to the warning generator.

The feed detection sensors 161 to 163 may be arranged at any position before and after the first feed rollers 141 to 143. However, the feed detection sensors 161 to 163 may be disposed in consideration of printing paper mainly occurring around the rollers. It may be efficient to be mounted after the first feed rollers 141 to 143 of the paper feed path.

4 is a configuration diagram illustrating an operation mechanism of the arthroscopic printer of FIG. 1.

Referring to FIG. 4, the controller 170 may receive a signal detected from the transfer detection sensors 161 ˜ 163 or the black mark sensor 125, and the printer module 110 with reference to the signals from the sensors. The operation of the transfer unit 135 or the warning generation unit 172 may be controlled.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a printer management method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, the arthroscopic printer 100 prints a predetermined mark on the paper using the printer module 110 (S10). As described above, the paper is conveyed by the minimum distance including the distance between the printer module 110 and the cutter 120 and the minimum margin.

This is the minimum distance for cutting, and may be basically performed with or without a black mark.

After conveying the minimum distance, the paper is further conveyed in a predetermined length unit selected according to the amount of the printed content. Specifically, the control unit 170 inquires whether the black mark is detected through the black mark sensor 125 (S20), and if the black mark is not detected, the control unit 170 operates the printer module 110 to operate the paper. Transfer in the forward direction (S15).

The black mark sensor 125 may continuously detect the black mark, and when the black mark is detected, the controller 170 may cut the paper using the cutter 120 (S30). In this case, the controller 170 may operate the cutter 120 after stopping the printer module 110, and may operate the cutter 120 even without stopping the printer module 110.

The paper is cut by the cutter 120 to separate the printing paper from the paper.

Here, the printing paper is a paper on which a predetermined mark is printed, and means a paper which can be provided to a customer.

Transfer unit 135 transfers the printing paper (S40), the transfer detection sensors (161 ~ 163) can determine whether the normal transfer through the passing of the printing paper. If the transfer detection sensor 161 to 163 does not detect the passage of the printing paper and exceeds a predetermined reference time, the control unit 170 may stop the transfer of the paper (S70), the warning generation unit 172 It is possible to output a warning signal or an error message (S75).

However, when the normal transfer is detected in the first transfer detection sensor 161, the transfer sheet may be continuously transferred to detect the normal transfer in the second transfer detection sensor 162 and the third transfer detection sensor 163. Specifically, the printing paper can be detected using the exit sensor mounted on the outlet side (S60), and when the printing paper is detected by the exit sensor, the control unit may stop the operation of the transfer unit 140. However, if the printing paper is not detected by the exit sensor, the control unit 170 may transfer the printing paper by further operating the transfer unit 140.

The arthroscopic printer of the present invention varies the cutting length of printing paper according to the amount of printed contents, and cuts the paper by a predetermined length unit in supplying printing printing paper, and standardizes the size of the printing paper step by step, It is easy to manage and store printing paper.

In addition, the printing paper having a different length according to the amount of content can be safely transported to prevent jams or meandering, and even if jams or meanders occur, it can be quickly repaired. Therefore, the arthroscopic printer of the present invention can be secured and easy to manage.
