TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of printers, in particular to a self-service printing device. BACKGROUND
[0002] The self-service printing device generally comprises a housing, a printer module and a paper output / receiving unit. The printed paper is stacked in a horizontal or slightly inclined manner on a public tray, or is distributed to several fixed paper bins. In order to reduce information leakage, the existing solutions often use face-down stacking, add cover plates, lock paper bins, or deliver the entire document into an envelope. In order to facilitate access, there are also structures that achieve simple division through a sorter / displacement tray. However, when multiple documents are continuously queued for printing and temporarily stored in the device, the document content area may still be exposed during the waiting or sorting process. Moreover, the paper output tray is in a bulk stacking form, and cannot stably produce the arrangement effect of "effective shielding of the content of the front page to the back page and only exposing the side edge identifier" in the observation direction.
[0003] On the other hand, the existing self-service printing device generally relies on time sequence or simple position counting for the accurate release of "target page / target copy", and lacks a deterministic mapping relationship between the page side sequence number (or coding strip) and the specific bearing position. Even if some devices set identification marks on the side of the paper, they often do not establish a one-to-one gating structure with the specific bearing position, making it difficult to quickly and accurately release a single page or synchronously release a continuous page to form an entire document in the scenario of multiple parallel temporary storage. In addition, the traditional sorting / release mechanism often requires a large number of independent actuators and contacts, which are complex to connect, have high maintenance costs and poor fault tolerance. When multiple target documents need to be released simultaneously, there is a risk of mis-sorting, secondary handling or paper jam. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a self-service printing device structure that can achieve content area shielding and sequence number area visibility during temporary storage, and can complete "single page point selection release" and "continuous section linkage release" under limited contact conditions.

As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0021] Reference is made to Figure 1 Figure 9 An embodiment of the present application provides a self-service printing device 1000 for printing a document containing a content area 310 and a side serial number area 320, comprising a shell 100, and a temporary storage mechanism 200 and a release mechanism 400 arranged in the shell 100, wherein The shell 100 is provided with an observation window 110; The temporary storage mechanism 200 is arranged in the shell 100 and is composed of a plurality of bearing units 210 arranged in parallel and inclined to the horizontal plane, each bearing unit 210 is arranged in sequence along the normal direction of the observation window 110, and is used for supporting a document paper 300; When observed along the normal direction of the observation window 110, the bearing unit 210 close to the observation window 110 and the paper 300 supported thereby form an obstruction to the content area 310 of the paper 300 on the adjacent bearing unit 210 far away from the observation window 110, and the side serial number area 320 of each paper 300 is exposed; Each bearing unit 210 comprises a bearing plate 211, a retaining member 212 and a conductive bead 213, and the conductive bead 213, the bearing plate 211 and the retaining member 212 corresponding to the conductive bead 213 are arranged in the same bearing unit 210; The release mechanism 400 is provided with an electric contact 410 which is aligned with the conductive bead 213; when the electric contact 410 is in contact with any conductive bead 213 to be conducted, the retaining member 212 of the corresponding bearing unit 210 of the conductive bead 213 is switched from a retaining state to a release state, the retaining state is used to block the paper 300 from sliding along the bearing plate 211, and the release state is used to release the paper 300 to slide along the bearing plate 211.
[0022] In this embodiment, it should be noted that Figures 1-9 The device comprises a housing 100, a temporary storage mechanism 200 and a release mechanism 400 arranged inside the housing 100. An observation window 110 is formed on the front side of the housing 100 for observing the internal arrangement along the normal direction N. The temporary storage mechanism 200 is formed by a plurality of bearing units 210 arranged in series, each bearing unit 210 is arranged in the direction N from front to back with an inclination angle a (preferably 5°-30°) in the horizontal plane. Each bearing unit 210 comprises: a bearing plate 211 rotatably mounted on a support, a retaining member 212 arranged on the bearing plate 211, and a conductive bead 213 corresponding to the bearing unit 210. The sliding direction of the bearing plate 211 is consistent with the gravity component, the retaining member 212 forms a protruding stop in the retained state to block the paper 300 from sliding down, and is withdrawn to below the paper receiving reference plane in the released state to release the paper 300. The conductive bead 213 is installed at the corresponding position of the bearing unit 210 and is electrically connected to the electric actuator 216 of the unit through an independent branch, forming a one-to-one action chain of "conductive bead 213-bearing plate 211-retaining member 212".
[0023] The geometric overlap of the bearing unit 210 is set to be greater than the projection length of the content area 310 of the paper 300 in the observation window normal direction, so that in the observation window normal direction, the front bearing unit 210 and its paper 300 stably block the content area 310 of the rear paper 300, only the side sequence number area 320 is exposed, which is convenient for identification.
[0024] The release mechanism 400 is arranged below the temporary storage mechanism 200, and a limited number of electric contacts 410 (single or paired) are installed on the alignable execution assembly. In operation, the electric contacts 410 are aligned with and in contact with the conductive bead 213 of the target bearing unit 210, the electric actuator 216 of the target unit is powered to drive the retaining member 212 to switch from the retained state to the released state, and the paper 300S slides out along the bearing plate 211 under gravity and enters the downstream working area. To ensure reliable contact, the electric contacts 410 can have elastic compensation stroke and micro scraping angle, and the conductive bead 213 can have a plated contact surface.
[0025] The electric actuator 216 is a micro drive component arranged inside each bearing unit 210, which receives the circuit signal from the conductive bead 213 and converts the electric energy into mechanical action to drive the retaining member 212 to switch between the retained state and the released state.
[0026] Further, the electric actuating part 216 comprises: an electromagnetic driving assembly, which comprises a coil bobbin fixedly installed below the bearing plate 211 and a coil winding arranged thereon; a movable iron core arranged in an axial guide hole of the coil and capable of moving linearly along the guide hole under the magnetic force when powered and being pushed back by a reset spring when powered off; a transmission mechanism connected between the movable iron core and the retaining member 212, used for converting the linear motion of the iron core into the rotating or lifting motion of the retaining member 212; the transmission mechanism can be one of a yoke, a connecting rod, an eccentric wheel or a linear push rod; and a mechanical limiting structure arranged at the end of the motion path of the retaining member 212, used for limiting the retaining position and the releasing position and ensuring the accuracy and repeatability of the state switching.
[0027] When the electric contact 410 is in contact with the target conductive bead 213, the electric current flows through the independent branch wire corresponding to the conductive bead 213 to the coil of the electric actuating part 216, the coil is powered to generate a magnetic field, the movable iron core is attracted to generate displacement, and then the retaining member 212 is switched from the retaining state to the releasing state through the transmission mechanism, so that the paper 300 can slide out along the inclined bearing plate 211.
[0028] The technical scheme of the embodiment can: form a front page shielding a rear page in the observation direction, only expose the side edge serial number area 320, realize the coexistence of content confidentiality and fast identification in the temporary storage stage; trigger the unit level action through the alignment and conduction of the conductive bead 213 and the electric contact 410, accurately release the selected page, and keep other pages retained, thereby reducing mis-sorting and cross talk; complete the page ejection by gravity, the paper feeding path is simple, the friction and jam risk is low, the structure and wiring scale are small, and the maintenance and cost are friendly; establish a determined mapping between the serial number identification and the bearing position, facilitate the upper layer control to perform positioning, addressing and scheduling, and adapt to the scene of parallel temporary storage and on-demand delivery of multiple documents.
[0029] Further, the temporary storage mechanism 200 is provided with a loop busbar arranged along the arrangement direction of the bearing unit 210; each conductive bead 213 is electrically connected to the electric actuating part 216 of the bearing unit 210 only through an independent branch wire. A continuous section composed of a plurality of adjacent bearing units 210 is selected along the arrangement direction of the bearing unit 210, wherein the conductive bead 213 of the bearing unit 210 located near the end of the side of the observation window 110 is defined as the first end conductive bead 214, and the conductive bead 213 of the bearing unit 210 located away from the end of the side of the observation window 110 is defined as the last end conductive bead 215; when the electric contact 410 is in contact with the first end conductive bead 214 and the last end conductive bead 215 of the continuous section at the same time, a closed power supply path is established between the two ends through the loop busbar, so that the electric actuating parts 216 of the bearing units 210 in the continuous section are powered at the same time, and the retaining members 212 thereof are switched from the retaining state to the releasing state synchronously, thereby realizing the linkage release of all pages in the section.
[0030] In this embodiment, it is necessary to note that the temporary storage mechanism 200 lays the circuit busbar along the arrangement direction of the bearing units 210 as a common circuit path; the conductive beads 213 of each bearing unit 210 are connected to the electric actuating part 216 of the bearing unit 210 point-to-point through independent branch wires, leading to a closed loop topology of “conductive bead 213-electric actuating part 216-busbar”. A number of adjacent bearing units 210 are selected along the arrangement direction (from close to the observation window 110 to far from the observation window 110) to form a continuous section, and the conductive bead 213 of the bearing unit 210 at the end close to the observation window 110 is defined as the leading conductive bead 214, and the conductive bead 213 of the bearing unit 210 at the end far from the observation window 110 is defined as the trailing conductive bead 215. The release mechanism 400 is configured to be in contact with the electric contact 410 and can be aligned with the leading conductive bead 214 and the trailing conductive bead 215. When the two contacts are in contact and the leading and trailing conductive beads 213 are in contact, the power supply is injected through the two ends, and the circuit busbar establishes a closed power supply path between the two ends; the electric actuating parts 216 of the bearing units 210 in the section simultaneously obtain working current, and the holding members 212 thereof are switched from the retained state to the released state, realizing the coordinated release of the entire section of pages. If only one point contacts any conductive bead 213, only the corresponding bearing unit 210 closes the circuit and releases a single page.
[0031] The circuit busbar is a common electrical circuit path laid inside the temporary storage mechanism 200 and extending along the arrangement direction of the bearing units 210. Its core function is to provide a low-impedance common return path for the electric actuating parts 216 of the plurality of bearing units 210, which is the key electrical infrastructure for realizing the “continuous section linkage release” function.
[0032] Further, the specific implementation of the circuit busbar includes: Conductor form: It is a continuous strip, rod or copper track on a printed circuit board (PCB), fixedly installed on the bracket or substrate of the temporary storage mechanism 200, and its length covers the arrangement range of all bearing units 210.
[0033] Electrical connection: One end of the electric actuating part 216 of each bearing unit 210 is connected to the circuit busbar through an independent wire, thereby forming a complete closed circuit of “power supply positive electrode-electric contact 410-conductive bead 213-branch wire-electric actuating part 216-circuit busbar-power supply negative electrode”.
[0034] Segment linkage mechanism: when a continuous segment composed of several adjacent bearing units (210) needs to be released, the paired electrical contacts 410 of the release mechanism 400 are in contact with the first and last conductive beads 214 and 215 of the segment at the same time. The current flows from the first end, through all the electrical actuating parts 216 in the segment, and finally returns to the power supply from the last end. This operation establishes a parallel power supply loop between the first and last ends, so that all electrical actuating parts 216 in the segment are powered at the same time, thereby realizing the synchronous release of the entire segment page.
[0035] It has a low resistivity to ensure that the loop voltage drop is minimal when driving multiple electrical actuating parts 216 at the same time, avoiding release failure of the last unit due to insufficient power supply. The conductor is fixed by an insulating support or coated with an insulating paint layer to ensure electrical isolation between the conductor and the metal structural parts of the equipment, preventing short circuits. The arrangement of the loop busbar makes it unnecessary to set up a complete power supply loop for each bearing unit 210 in the entire system, greatly simplifying the wiring structure. Through the ingenious design of "selecting the first and last ends and conducting the entire segment", only two electrical contacts 410 can control the coordinated action of any continuous segment, achieving efficient and reliable batch document release operation with minimal hardware cost.
[0036] The implementation of the technical solution of the embodiment can realize two release modes under the condition of limited contacts: one is single-point selection, which accurately releases the target page; the other is first and last double-point selection, which releases the segment in linkage, and completes the release of the entire segment or even the entire document at one time, with fewer actions and high efficiency. At the same time, the bearing units 210 not selected remain unpowered, maintaining the effective overlapping and shielding relationship, reducing the risk of false triggering and crosstalk, and balancing the security, reliability and wiring simplification.
[0037] Further, the release mechanism 400 includes a gripper mechanism 420 arranged below the bearing unit 210; the gripper mechanism 420 includes: a gripper frame 421 fixed to the follow-up table or base, with a positioning window at the front end; a pair of gripper arms 422 arranged in pairs and pivoted to the gripper frame 421 through a hinge shaft, with a non-slip pad 423 on the inner side of the gripper arm 422 and a limiting block on the outer side; an electrical contact 410 arranged at the free end of at least one gripper arm 422, assembled through an insulating seat and electrically connected with a lead terminal, with an elastic compensation spring on the shaft of the electrical contact 410; a reset spring arranged at the root of the gripper arm 422 to keep the gripper open in the release state; the electrical contact 410 is located below the free end of the gripper arm 422 and inclined upward, used for producing a slight scraping contact when aligned and approached with the target conductive bead 213.
[0038] In this embodiment, it is necessary to point out that the release mechanism 400 adopts the claw mechanism 420 and is arranged below the bearing unit 210. The claw mechanism 420 is composed of a claw frame 421 fixed on the follow-up table or base, and a positioning window is arranged at the front end of the claw frame 421 for guiding the coaxial alignment of the claw and the target conductive bead 213. A pair of claw arms 422 are pivotally connected to the claw frame 421 through a hinge shaft, an anti-skid pad 423 is arranged on the inner side of the claw arm 422 to provide frictional stability during contact, and a limiting block is arranged on the outer side to limit the opening and closing stroke and prevent overstroke impact. An electrical contact 410 is arranged at the free end of at least one side of the claw arm 422, the electrical contact 410 is connected to the lead terminal through an insulating seat, and an elastic compensation stroke is reserved in the axial direction to absorb the alignment error and thickness tolerance. A return spring is arranged at the root of the claw arm 422 to keep the claw open in the non-driven state. The electrical contact 410 is located on the lower side of the free end of the claw arm 422 and is inclined upward, and when the claw approaches the conductive bead 213, a slight scraping contact is formed, which is beneficial to break the oxide film and dirt and improve the conduction stability. The claw can be moved along the arrangement direction of the bearing unit 210 to complete the rapid alignment of multiple positions; during contact, the anti-skid pad 423 provides lateral support, and the limiting block suppresses overpressure, thereby ensuring the repeated accuracy and service life.
[0039] The technical scheme of the embodiment can improve the alignment accuracy and electrical contact reliability with the conductive bead 213, reduce the contact resistance and the probability of shaking and disconnection, realize the default opening and power-off self-resetting through the return spring, enhance the fault tolerance and safety, rely on the anti-skid pad 423 and the limiting block to suppress local overload and stroke overshoot, prolong the service life of the contact and the conductive bead 213, and have compact structure, high part commonality, and convenience for integration with the linear module to realize the multi-point rapid point selection and switching, and balance the efficiency, stability and maintenance cost.
[0040] Further, the retaining member 212 is provided with: a miniature electromagnetic actuator, including a coil framework and a coil assembly fixed to a mounting seat on the lower side of the bearing plate 211; a movable iron core, which moves linearly and reciprocally along a guide hole; a return spring, which is a compression spring and is sleeved on the guide section of the iron core; a force transmission member, which is a shift fork, an eccentric wheel or a connecting rod, one end of which is hingedly connected to the movable iron core, and the other end of which is connected to a stop body of the retaining member 212; a mechanical limiting block, which is arranged at two limit positions of the retaining member 212; When the electrical contact 410 and the conductive bead 213 are in conduction, the coil attracts the movable iron core to drive the retaining member 212 to switch from the retained state to the released state through the force transmission member.
[0041] In this embodiment, it is necessary to point out that the integrated miniature electromagnetic actuator in the holding member 212 is used as a driving source, the coil frame and the coil assembly are fixed on the mounting seat on the lower side of the bearing plate 211 to form a static magnetic circuit; the movable iron core is arranged in the guide hole coaxial with the coil and reciprocates linearly along the hole axis; the compression return spring is arranged on the outer periphery or the guide section of the iron core to push the iron core back to the initial end when power is off.
