Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a printout arrangement intended preferably for use in commercial traffic vehicles.
  • the advent of digital technology has made it much easier to record data relating to the driving details of a vehicle, and the authorities require such registration to be made without the possibility of a driver being able to manipulate the printouts from the recording device.
  • the tachograph is also required to store the information concerned for at least one year and also to enable said information to be retrieved from the tachograph directly for control purposes.
  • the remaining problem resides in how a printout of the data and information stored in the electronic memory can be achieved in a simple fashion.
  • the use of a separate printer that is coupled to the tachograph can create problems, because the driver must always have the printer on hand in the vehicle.
  • a preferred solution would be to incorporate the printer in the tachograph.
  • the printer must then be constructed to take-up very little space, since it is necessary to be able to place the tachograph at a readily accessible and easily seen position in the vehicle.
  • a suitable place for mounting the tachograph is in a so called radio compartment in the dashboard of the vehicle. This means that the space available for a printer incorporated in the tachograph would be very restricted.
  • thermoprinter i.e. a printer that prints on heat-sensitive paper.
  • the quality of the print on a printout on heat-sensitive paper will depend on the ambient temperature among other things, and consequently there has been made available such heat-sensitive papers that have different degrees of heat sensitivity. How- ever, a heat-sensitive paper can be subjected to extreme variations in temperature in a vehicle, where the temperature may vary from -40°C to +85°C.
  • a heat-sensitive paper When the printer is placed in the dashboard, as mentioned above, a heat-sensitive paper will also be heated by the actual tachograph itself and also by nearby electronic units in addition to said temperature variations in the driver's cabin/vehicle interior, meaning that the temperature within the tachograph will mostly be relatively high. This will result in blackening of the heat- sensitive paper, particularly when the paper is stored in the tachograph for a long period of time.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a printout arrangement for a recording device, a tacho- graph, with which in particular the aforesaid problems relating to the use of heat-sensitive paper for printing out data from the recording device can be avoided.
  • a further object of the invention is tc provide an arrangement which enables data stored in the recording device to be printed out without needing to open the device in order to refill the printer when the paper runs out.
  • the objects of the invention are achieved with an arrangement fox printing out data stored in a vehicle mounted recording device, said arrangement including a paper web infeed opening, a paper web outfeed opening, and rr.eans for leading the paper web from the infeed opening to the outfeed opening via an intermediate printer.
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic front view of a recording device provided with a printout arrangement accord- ing to the invention
  • Fig. 2 illustrates schematically and in larger scale that part of the recording device that includes said paper web infeed and outfeed openings
  • Fig. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view through the front of the recording device at the location of the printer and the paper web infeed and outfeed openings.
  • Fig. 1 is a front view of a recording device, a tachograph, in accordance with the invention.
  • the front panel of the tachograph will preferably include buttons for registering at least two different drivers and also for recording their activities, such as rest periods, driving periods, etc.
  • the illustrated front panel 3 of Fig. 1 includes two separate rows of buttons for two different drivers, the upper row comprising buttons la, lb and lc for driver 1, and the bottom row comprising corresponding buttons 2a, 2b and 2c for driver 2.
  • the panel also includes an indicating lamp above each activity button, for showing the activity concerned.
  • buttons 4a, 4b, 4c for controlling the printing function of the printer are shown on the right of the front panel 3 .
  • buttons 4a, 4b, 4c for controlling the printing function of the printer, and the printing paper infeed opening 5 and outfeed opening 6.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates the infeed opening 5 and the outfeed opening 6 in larger scale, and also shows a roll of paper 7 suspended on a holder 8 beneath the infeed opening .
  • the holder 8 may suitably be L-shaped with the stem of the L protruding in through the front panel 3 of the tachograph, with the paper roll 7 supported on the other part of the holder 8 disposed generally parallel with the front panel 3 and the infeed opening 5.
  • the holder 8 may suitably be constructed so as to enable its stem to be inserted into the tachograph when no paper roll is mounted on the holder, and the other part of the holder can then lie against the front panel 3 or in a recessed part of the panel. When the holder is withdrawn, said other part of the holder will be spaced from the front panel 3 and therewith enable a paper roll 7 to be pushed onto this part of the holder 8 from its free end.
  • the infeed opening 5 and the outfeed opening 6 in the front panel are interconnected by a passageway 9 which extends through the interior of the tachograph, as will be seen more clearly from the cross-sectional view in Fig. 3.
  • the passageway 9 forms a closed path through the interior of the tachograph and functions to lead the paper web 12 horizontally from the infeed opening to a feed cylinder 10 which is adapted to feed the paper web 12 through the passageway and past the printer 11 mounted in the interior of the tachograph, and from there through the passageway 9 to the outfeed opening 6, where the paper web 12 exits from the tachograph and is thus available to the person who has asked for a data printout from the tachograph memory.
  • the printer 11 may suitably be a so called thermoprinter which prints on heat-sensitive paper, although the invention is not limited solely to this type of printer but can also be applied with other types of existing printers or future printers .
  • a roll 7 of printing paper is placed on said other part of the holder 8 and the free end of the paper roll 7 is inserted through the infeed opening 5 and up to the feed cylinder 10.
  • the feed cylinder can be activated either by manipulating one of the printer function buttons 4, or the feed cylinder may be de- signed to automatically advance the paper web 12 as soon as the paper web touches the feed cylinder 10.
  • the passageway 9 will preferably have a width which only slightly exceeds the width of the paper web 12.
  • the inventive design of the tachograph and its printout function in accordance with the invention enables the entire print function to be encapsulated and sealed in the tacho- graph, so that the tachograph need not be interfered with in normal use and therewith considerably reduce the possibility of manipulating the printouts.
