[0002] When printing documents such as medical records and case histories, multiple print jobs from the same user, or from different users, are sent simultaneously to the same printer.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application and not all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0033] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0034] Some embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0035] When printing files, different print tasks of the same user or print tasks of different users exist at the same time, and at this time, the printed archives are stacked together and cannot be quickly distinguished. The existing printer with multiple paper discharge ports can select different paper discharge ports for different archives, but due to the limited number of paper discharge ports and the case that different users select the same paper discharge port, it is still difficult to avoid the problem of file stacking and inconvenience in distinguishing.

[0036] In view of the above, the present application provides a smart file printing device, comprising a paper folding mechanism 100, the paper folding mechanism 100 being movable in a vertical direction; the paper folding mechanism 100 comprising a paper winding assembly 110 and a paper pressing assembly 120, the output direction of the paper being a first direction, and the direction perpendicular to the first direction in the horizontal inner surface being a second direction; the paper winding assembly 110 comprising two paper winding sliders 111, the two paper winding sliders 111 being movable towards or away from each other in the second direction; the paper winding slider 111 being provided with a spiral channel a, the inlet of the spiral channel a being used for the paper to enter; the two paper pressing assemblies 120 being respectively connected with the two paper winding sliders 111, the paper pressing assembly 120 comprising an upper pressing plate 121 and a lower pressing plate 122, the upper pressing plate 121 and the lower pressing plate 122 being movable relative to each other in the vertical direction.

[0037] The smart file printing device provided by the present application realizes the partial folding of the output paper by winding the paper output by the printer 300 through the spiral channel a on the winding slider and flattening the paper through the paper pressing assembly 120, thereby increasing the thickness of the paper to automatically separate two adjacent files, facilitating the sorting of the files, and avoiding the problem of inconvenient stacking and distinguishing of the files when printing multiple files.

[0038] The following will be described in detail Figures 1-11 The structure and shape of the smart file printing device provided by the present embodiment will be described in detail:

[0039] The smart printing device provided by the present embodiment comprises a paper folding mechanism 100, a paper taking mechanism 200 and a printer 300, and the paper folding mechanism 100 and the paper taking mechanism 200 are both installed at the paper output end of the printer 300.

[0040] In an optional scheme of the present embodiment, the paper folding mechanism 100 can be connected with the printer 300 by setting a vertical linear guide rail, and an electric cylinder is used to connect the printer 300 and the paper folding mechanism 100 to push the paper folding mechanism 100 to move in the vertical direction to adjust the height of the paper folding mechanism 100, so that the inlet of the spiral channel a abuts against the upper surface of the printed paper, and the blank paper separating the files is facilitated to enter the spiral channel a. Specifically, a linear guide rail and an electric cylinder are arranged between the mounting frame 112 and the printer 300, or a linear module is used to replace the linear guide rail and the electric cylinder to drive the mounting frame 112 to move in the vertical direction.

[0041] Specifically, as Figure 4As shown, the spiral channel a is curved from top to bottom to make the upper surface of the folded blank paper smooth, avoiding blocking the subsequent paper. In addition, the spiral channel a can also be curved from bottom to top, at this time the subsequent paper will be clamped with the folded blank paper, and the folded blank paper will be pushed to the edge with the movement of the subsequent paper. After the printing is completed, the folded part will protrude from the edge of the stacked file, which is more convenient for distinguishing the file. At this time, the hardness of the paper should be enough to push the folded paper, avoiding the subsequent paper being deformed by the folded blank paper, affecting the normal printing output.

[0042] It should be noted that the spiral channel a penetrates in the second direction, as shown in Figure 4 to ensure that the paper winding slider 111 can move in the second direction.

[0043] In an optional embodiment of the present embodiment, the paper winding slider 111 and the paper pressing assembly 120 should maintain a proper distance to ensure that the process of the paper pressing assembly 120 flattening the paper is smooth. If the distance between the paper winding slider 111 and the paper pressing assembly 120 is too close, the paper between the paper winding slider 111 and the paper pressing assembly 120 will form a large thickness change after the upper pressing plate 121 and the lower pressing plate 122 flatten the curled blank paper, causing the movement of the paper pressing assembly 120 in the second direction to be blocked.

[0044] In an optional embodiment of the present embodiment, the paper winding assembly 110 includes a mounting frame 112, a guide rod 113, a first telescopic rod 114, a synchronous pulley 115 and a synchronous belt 116, as shown in Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 The mounting frame 112 is connected with the printer 300, the guide rod 113 is installed on the mounting frame 112, and the axis of the guide rod 113 is parallel to the second direction; the paper winding slider 111 is installed on the guide rod 113 and slides along the guide rod 113; the two ends of the first telescopic rod 114 are connected with the two paper winding sliders 111 respectively; the synchronous pulley 115 is installed on the mounting frame 112 and located on the side away from the two paper winding sliders 111; the synchronous belt 116 cooperates with the synchronous pulley 115 and reverses at the synchronous pulley 115, and the two ends of the synchronous belt 116 are connected with the two paper winding sliders 111 respectively, that is, the synchronous pulley 115 and the synchronous belt 116 act as a fixed pulley, and the engagement of the synchronous pulley 115 and the synchronous belt 116 ensures the synchronous movement of the two paper winding sliders 111, avoiding the position deviation of the paper winding slider 111 caused by the repeated movement of the paper winding slider 111, that is, the two paper winding sliders 111 deviate to one side.

[0045] Specifically, the guide rod 113 is provided with a limiting boss along the length direction, and the paper winding slider 111 is provided with a corresponding hole and a limiting groove b, the limiting groove b cooperates with the limiting boss to prevent the paper winding slider 111 from rotating. The first telescopic rod 114 can use an electric telescopic rod for convenient energy supply. The synchronous belt 116 is arranged in a “J” shape, that is, a U shape with different side lengths.

[0046] When the paper winding sliders 111 move away from each other, the first telescopic rod 114 is elongated to push the two paper winding sliders 111 away from each other, and the paper winding sliders 111 drive the synchronous belt 116 and the synchronous pulley 115 to move. The cooperation of the synchronous belt 116 and the synchronous pulley 115 ensures that the two paper winding sliders 111 move synchronously, and ensures that the positions of the paper winding sliders 111 do not deviate, as shown in Figure 6 .

[0047] In an optional scheme of the embodiment, the paper pressing assembly 120 further includes a connecting slider 123 and a second telescopic rod 124, as shown in Figure 8 . The lower pressing plate 122 includes a horizontal plate 122a and a vertical plate 122b, the horizontal plate 122a is parallel to the upper pressing plate 121 and is connected to the lower end of the vertical plate 122b perpendicularly; the connecting slider 123 is sleeved on the guide rod 113 and is connected to the upper end of the vertical plate 122b; the second telescopic rod 124 is installed on the connecting slider 123, and the extension end of the second telescopic rod 124 is connected to the upper pressing plate 121.

[0048] Specifically, the connecting slider 123 is provided with a through hole and a limiting groove b for cooperating with the guide rod 113 to ensure that the connecting slider 123 can stably move along the guide rod 113. The vertical plate 122b is provided with a dovetail groove extending in the vertical direction, the upper pressing plate 121 is slidably connected to the vertical plate 122b through the dovetail groove, and the vertical plate 122b is limited, and the horizontal plate 122a cooperates with the upper pressing plate 121 to flatten the paper.

[0049] Further, to ensure the stability of the paper pressing assembly 120, the paper winding assembly 110 further includes a limiting rod 117; the limiting rod 117 is installed on the mounting frame 112 and is arranged in parallel with the guide rod 113, and the lower pressing plate 122 further includes an ear plate 122c, the ear plate 122c is sleeved on the limiting rod 117. The limiting rod 117 and the guide rod 113 cooperate to reliably support and limit the paper pressing assembly 120, and ensure that the paper pressing assembly 120 moves smoothly.

[0050] In an optional scheme of the embodiment, the paper folding mechanism 100 further includes a connecting block 130, the connecting block 130 is sleeved on the guide rod 113 and is connected to the paper winding slider 111 and the paper pressing assembly 120 respectively, as shown in Figure 7As shown, the connecting block 130 is provided with a through hole and a limiting groove b for cooperating with the guide rod 113. To ensure smooth operation and reduce friction, the connecting block 130 can be provided with a larger diameter through hole to avoid contact with the guide rod 113.

[0051] In an optional embodiment of the present embodiment, the paper taking mechanism 200 is used to assist the paper folding mechanism 100 to operate, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the paper taking mechanism 200 is located between the paper folding mechanism 100 and the paper outlet of the printer 300, and includes two paper taking assemblies 210 symmetrically arranged about a vertical plane. The paper taking assembly 210 includes a paper clamping unit 211, a linear unit 212, a third telescopic rod 213 and a connecting frame 214, as shown in Figure 10 The paper clamping unit 211 is installed on the connecting frame 214, the third telescopic rod 213 is installed on the connecting frame 214 and drives the connecting frame 214 to move along the second direction, and the linear unit 212 is connected with the extending end of the third telescopic rod 213 and is used to drive the third telescopic rod 213 to move along the first direction, so that the paper clamping unit 211 can move along the first direction and the second direction to assist the paper output. Specifically, the connecting frame 214 is arranged as a U-shaped frame, and the third telescopic rod 213 is arranged as an electric rod with a guide rod 113 to ensure the connection strength; the linear unit 212 can use a screw transmission structure to realize linear motion, which will not be described here.

[0052] In the present embodiment, the paper clamping unit 211 includes an upper clamping plate 211a, a lower clamping plate 211b, a mounting plate 211c and a fourth telescopic rod 211d, as shown in Figure 11 The mounting plate 211c is vertically arranged and provided with a dovetail groove extending along the vertical direction, the upper clamping plate 211a is installed on the upper end of the mounting plate 211c, the lower clamping plate 211b is slidably connected with the vertical plate 122b through the dovetail groove, and the extending end of the fourth telescopic rod 211d is connected with the lower clamping plate 211b, and the relative movement of the upper clamping plate 211a and the lower clamping plate 211b in the vertical direction is realized through the extension and contraction of the fourth telescopic rod 211d.

[0053] In the present embodiment, the printer 300 includes a paper box 310, a developing part 320, a fixing part 330 and a paper ejection part 340, as shown in Figure 2

[0054] The working process of the intelligent file printing device provided in the present embodiment is as follows:

[0055] The paper passes through the developing part 320, the fixing part 330 and the paper ejection part 340 in sequence from the paper box 310, and is finally ejected from the paper ejection part 340. When a new file needs to be printed, the paper box 310 supplies paper, and at this time the first paper output from the paper ejection part 340 is a blank paper, which is used for folding to separate from the original file.

[0056] ​After the blank paper is output from the discharging part, the lower clamp plate 211b is below the blank paper, at this time, when the fourth telescopic rod 211d is retracted, the lower clamp plate 211b moves upward and is clamped with the upper clamp plate 211a to clamp the blank paper, at the same time, the straight line unit 212 drives the paper clamping unit 211 to move to the entrance of the vortex channel a to assist the blank paper to enter the vortex channel a for curling. When the blank paper reaches the entrance of the vortex channel a, the fourth telescopic rod 211d is extended, so that the paper can be supported by the lower clamp plate 211b by the activity of the blank paper, so that the blank paper enters the vortex channel a under the action of the discharging part.

[0057] It should be noted that the intelligent file printing device can not rely on the paper taking mechanism 200 to fold the paper, at this time, the vertical movement of the paper folding mechanism 100 can ensure that the entrance of the vortex channel a abuts against the printed paper. When the paper taking mechanism 200 is used, the entrance of the vortex channel a can not be required to abut against the printed paper, so as to increase the working height of the paper folding mechanism 100, so that more files can be accommodated at the paper folding mechanism 100.

[0058] When the blank paper is curled in the vortex channel a under the driving of the paper discharging part 340, the second telescopic rod 124 is extended to drive the upper pressing plate 121 to move downward, so that the upper pressing plate 121 cooperates with the lower pressing plate 122 to flatten the curled blank paper to realize folding. Then, the first telescopic rod 114 is extended to make the two curling sliders move away from each other, and at the same time, the two paper pressing assemblies 120 are driven to move away from each other, so as to finally flatten the curled paper in the second direction to complete the folding of the paper. With the continuous movement of the first telescopic rod 114, the paper pressing assembly 120 is separated from the paper, and at the same time, the third telescopic rod 213 is extended to make the two paper clamping units 211 move away from each other to be separated from the paper. Finally, the folded blank paper falls onto the printed file under the action of gravity, and the folded blank paper is the page paper.

[0059] It should be noted that the intelligent file printing device only folds the front part of the paper in the output direction of the paper, and the upper surface of the folded paper is flat, so as to ensure that the subsequent paper can move along the unfolded part of the blank paper and be stacked.

[0060] In short, the paper folding mechanism mainly includes two actions, paper curling and paper flattening. Specifically:

[0061] Paper curling: the initial state is that the two paper pressing assemblies 120 are close to each other, when a file is printed, the paper folding mechanism 100 moves downward to the entrance of the vortex channel a to abut against the printed paper, then the blank paper enters the vortex channel a along with the printing output and is curled along the vortex channel a;

[0062] Paper pressing: the upper pressing plate 121 and the lower pressing plate 122 move towards each other to flatten the curled blank paper, then the paper rolling slider 111 moves away from each other and drives the paper pressing assembly 120 to move away from each other to flatten the curled part of the blank paper in the second direction to complete the paper folding, and finally the blank paper is separated from the paper pressing assembly 120 and falls onto the printed file.

[0063] The intelligent file printing device provided in the embodiment realizes the separation of two files by folding the paper used for printing to increase the thickness, facilitates the differentiation between adjacent two files, does not require additional paper or special paper, reduces the types and disposal of consumables, ensures the convenience of use, reduces the labor intensity of manual document sorting, ensures the correctness, and improves the sorting efficiency.

[0064] Based on the intelligent file printing device provided in the embodiment, an intelligent file printing system is proposed, which comprises the above intelligent file printing device and a host computer. The host computer is used for receiving a printing task and classifying and sorting files, so as to realize printing according to the paper quantity and type of each to-be-printed file, thereby facilitating further sorting of the files after printing.

[0065] Based on the intelligent file printing system provided in the embodiment, an intelligent file sorting method is proposed, which uses the above intelligent file printing system, as shown in the figure, and comprises the following steps: Figure 12

[0066] S100-File classification: classify the to-be-printed files according to the department and type to which the files belong. First, classify according to the department, and then classify according to the type. The types of files include outpatient cases, inpatient cases, and surgical cases.

[0067] S200-File grouping: group each type of file according to the paper quantity of each file.

[0068] Specifically, the to-be-printed files with a paper quantity less than n are grouped into a file group A, and the files with a paper quantity not less than n do not need to be grouped. The paper quantity z of the file group A is not greater than m, and m is greater than n.

[0069] When the total paper quantity k of the to-be-printed files with a paper quantity less than n is greater than m, the to-be-printed files with a paper quantity less than n are grouped into multiple file groups A (i.e., file groups A1, A2, …). The number x of the file groups A is k / m, and x is rounded up.

[0070] When determining the to-be-printed files contained in each file group A, a scheme is selected in which the variance of the paper quantity z of each file group A is minimized, and the to-be-printed files with a similar paper quantity are grouped into the same file group A.

[0071] ​S300-File sorting: the files in each file group A are sorted in ascending or descending order according to the number of paper sheets.

[0072] Then, each file group A is arranged according to the number of paper sheets z, and then the files with the number of paper sheets greater than n are arranged after the file group A, and the files with the number of paper sheets greater than n are also arranged according to the number of paper sheets, preferably in ascending order.

[0073] S400-File printing: each type of file is printed in turn according to the classification, and the page paper is inserted between each type of file to separate them. The page paper is formed by curling and flattening the page paper by the intelligent file printing device.

[0074] In each type of file, the page paper is inserted between each file group A, between the files with the number of paper sheets not less than n, and between the file group A and the files with the number of paper sheets not less than n. The page paper is automatically inserted by the intelligent file printing device without manual intervention. In addition, each file group A can be named, and the group name and the name of the file with the number of paper sheets not less than n can be printed on the unfolded part of the page paper in a larger font than the file, so as to facilitate the search and distinction. At the same time, a document list can be printed according to the grouping situation, which is convenient for subsequent arrangement.

[0075] Among them, the file group A and the file with the number of paper sheets not less than n are sorted without crossing, that is, the file group A is printed first or the file with the number of paper sheets not less than n is printed first, to avoid mixing them.

[0076] In short, during actual printing, each type of file can be arranged in order from few to many according to the number of paper sheets, and the page paper can be inserted according to the number of printed paper sheets to complete the separation, so as to realize the grouping and sorting of each type of file.

[0077] In non-emergency situations, centralized printing can be performed at a specific time, that is, the host collects the printing task and performs the grouping and sorting of the files, and finally prints them uniformly at a set time, thereby reducing the startup time of the printer, saving energy, and facilitating the subsequent binding and arrangement of the printed files, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0078] The present application can improve the sorting efficiency and accuracy of the files by grouping the files and automatically inserting the page paper, thereby reducing the difficulty of sorting the stacked documents, avoiding the waste of a large number of paper sheets caused by excessive insertion of page paper, and avoiding the workload caused by excessive insertion of page paper. In addition, the page paper can be collected and flattened for recording and other work, and the folded part of the page paper does not exceed half the length of the paper sheet, so that after cutting the folded part, the remaining part can be used as a small size paper sheet for the printer, such as A4 paper.
