Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Utilization in Mado] This invention relates to a ticket issuing machine suitable for use as a ticket vending machine, etc.
The present invention relates to a ticket issuing machine which uses the same motor to feed paper in the printing section and the conveying section, and which reduces the size and weight of the entire machine.

[Conventional technology]

The fourth factor is a side view showing the configuration of a conventional ticket issuing machine. In this figure, numeral 1 indicates a sheet of paper wound into a roll.

Paper 1 is placed on guide roll 2. Out of paper detection switch 3.
Feed roll 4. It is guided to a platen roll 6 through a cutter 5ft. A timing belt 8 driven by a stepping motor 7 is stretched between the feed roll 4 and the platen roll 6. The timing belt 8 is stretched between the feed roll 4 and the platen roll 6. The cut paper (ticket) la is placed on the platen roll 6.

It is conveyed between this and a themed head 9 which is provided along the river. Note that the above components 4 to 9 constitute Print@10.

The ticket 1a printed by the thermal head 9 is
It is discharged to the outside by conveyance 1fllll.

The conveying section 11 has a pair of exit rolls 12.13.

Conveyor belt 1 stretched between exit rolls 12 and 13
4, a conveyor motor 15 that rotates the conveyor belt 144',
The photoelectric element 16 detects the passage of the ticket 1a, and the ticket 1a'1 is discharged to the outside through a ticket exit I7.

When a ticket issuing command is issued at the bottom of the eel's beak, the stepping motor 7 and the conveyance motor 15 start rotating as shown in FIG. 5, and paper feeding and printing are performed in step 51 in FIG. , according to i93,
When the stepping motor 7 rotates.

The timing belt 8 is activated, and the feed roll 4 and platen roll 6 rotate to feed the paper 1 and the ticket 1a minute by minute. - Print on the ticket 1a using the round head 9 (
Step 83]. Note that this ticket 1a has been conveyed between the grating roll 6 and the thermal head 9 at the end of the previous ticket issue and is in a waiting state, and is cut into a predetermined length by the cutter 5. ing.

When the printing by the thermal head 9 is completed, the leading edge of the ticket 1a reaches the exit hole 12, and the stepping motor 7 is stopped (step 84jj operation l@5).
figure). Then, the paper 1 is cut by the cutter 5 to produce the ticket 1a to be printed first (step S5J).
, the printed ticket 1a is conveyed by the conveyance belt 14 driven by the conveyance motor 15 (step S6 and discharged to the outside from the ticket exit 17. In this case.

yf,' After the passage of the ticket 1a is confirmed by the It element 16, the conveyance motor 15 is stopped (step 87.
88 and FIG. 5].

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional ticket issuing machine, two motors are provided: the stepping motor 7 and the conveyance motor 150. During printing, the stepping motor 7(1) operates, and after printing, only the conveyance motor 15 operates. was working.

This invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and 11
The purpose is to reduce the number of S products and reduce the size of the machine by using the fi motor to perform g feeding during and after printing. Further, by reducing the number of motors to one, the number of drive circuits can be reduced, thereby reducing the cost of the entire device.

[Means for solving problems]

Above purpose '4! :i1 In order to accomplish this, the present invention also provides a device in which the paper feeding means of the printing section and the conveying means of the conveying section are driven by a single motor. The transmission means that transmits the driving force of the motor to the paper feeding means drives the g'y feeding means only when the motor rotates in the normal direction, and the transmission means that transmits the driving force of the motor to the conveying means drives the g'y feeding means only when the motor rotates in the reverse direction. The signal is to drive the feeding means.

[Effect]

According to the above configuration, one motor can feed the paper in the printing section and the conveying section, and the apparatus can be made smaller and less expensive.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to one drawing.

FIG. 1 is a side view showing the configuration of a ticket issuing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment differs from the conventional ticket issuing machine shown in Figure @4 in the following points.

(1) There is no drive circuit (not shown) for electrically driving the transport motor 15.

t21 Exit roller 13 is missing. Also, the exit roller 12
is a belt 21 driven by a stepping motor 7
It is designed to be machined and rotated.

In this case, there is a gap between the output shaft 7a of the stepping motor and the timing belt 8! As shown in Figure 2, the one-way clutch 22 is inserted at 5.

The timing belt 8 is driven only when the stepping motor 7 rotates in the normal direction.

In addition, the exit row 212 which is the driving force of the stepping motor 7
Belt 2 that transmits to! A one-way clutch 23 is also extended between the shaft and the shaft of the exit roller 212, so that the exit roller 12 is driven to rotate only when the stepping motor 7 is in reverse rotation. The hinges are stretched in a shape.

(3) A one-way clutch is also attached to the presser roll 25 (first roll) provided on the device facing the feed roll 4 to prevent the waiting tickets 1a from flowing backward when the stepping motor 7 reverses. ing.

Next, the operation of the non-embodiment will be explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

FIG. 3 [sigma] Steps SP1 to SP5 correspond to steps 81 to S5 in FIG. 6, so their explanation will be omitted.

In step 8P6, when the stepping motor 7 is rotated in the opposite direction to that during printing, the exit roller 12 is rotated.
The printed ticket 1a is transported to the outside (step 8P
7). When the passage of the ticket 1a is confirmed by the one-dimensional element 16 (step 8Ps), the stepping motor 7 is stopped (step 8Pta), and the ticket issuing operation is completed.

In this way, since the stepping motor is used to feed the paper during printing and after printing, only one motor is required, and the apparatus can be made smaller and less bulky.

Furthermore, in the conventional ticket issuing machine, an AC motor is used as the conveyance motor 15 in consideration of cost reduction and maintainability. Therefore, two power sources were required: a power source for the transport motor 15 (ACIO (1) and a DC power source (L) C24V for the stepping motor 7), but according to this embodiment, one DC power source for the stepping motor 7 It has the advantage of requiring only a power supply.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, this invention uses a single motor to feed the paper in the printing section and the paper in the transport section.
Can produce the effect of an arrow.

(1) The overall size of the device can be reduced.

(2) The number of parts is reduced and costs can be reduced.

(3) Only one motor drive circuit is required.
