[0002] The existing bank office printing environment is usually that multiple people share a printer through the network. This printing environment often encounters the following three situations:

[0003] 1. Multiple people submit printing applications at the same time. When submitting printing applications, the printing applicants do not know the queuing and waiting situation of the printing queue. When the printing applicants walk to the printer, they may find that many people are gathered around the printer waiting. The waiting people have no way of knowing the queuing order of the printing queue and cannot estimate the waiting time.

[0004] 2. After the printing applicant submits the printing application, if he / she has something urgent to do or is afraid of the crowds, he / she will wait for a while before going to pick it up. He / she will find that there are multiple copies of the printed materials on the printer and he / she needs to search for the materials he / she printed one by one.

[0005] 3. After the printing applicant submits the printing application, if the printed materials are not found on the printer, it may be that they were accidentally taken away among other people's materials, or they may have been taken away intentionally.

[0035] like Figure 1 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a printing device for protecting the security of printed data provided by an embodiment of the present application, which includes: a plurality of dense paper boxes 1, a printing unit 2 and a paper feeding box 3.

[0036] The paper box 1 is the core component of the present application, which is used to store printed materials. Each paper box is a drawer-type structure, which allows users to access printed materials. The paper box 1 can be one or more, such as Figure 1 The schematic diagram of three dense paper boxes is listed in the figure, and the dense paper box 1 is stacked between the printing unit 2 and the paper feeding box 3. The dense paper boxes 1 can be detachably connected by snaps, the dense paper box 1 and the printing unit 2 can also be detachably connected by snaps, and the dense paper box 1 and the paper feeding box 3 can also be detachably connected by snaps. The snap design allows quick connection and release between components. This design usually includes male snaps and female snaps, and a firm physical connection is achieved through simple insertion and removal actions. Through the snap connection, the printing device of the present application adopts a modular design concept, and each component can be assembled as an independent module. This design supports fast assembly and disassembly, and is easy to disassemble and expand. In practical applications, the snap design needs to ensure the firmness and reliability of the connection while allowing the user to operate easily. In addition, the design also needs to take into account the safety and stability of the electrical connection to ensure that the normal operation of the device will not be affected during the disassembly and reconnection process. In general, by adopting a snap-on detachable connection design, the printing device of the present application can provide a high degree of flexibility and maintainability, so that it can better adapt to the needs of different users and changes in different working environments.

[0037] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the sealed paper box in the open state, Figure 2 It can be seen that after the paper box is opened, the drawer 4 can store printed paper. A controllable mechanical lock 5 is arranged on the front side panel of the paper box 1, and the controllable mechanical lock locks the drawer 4 of the paper box.

[0038] The printing unit 2 is a conventional printer component, which is mainly responsible for processing printing tasks. A control panel 6 is provided on the upper surface of the printing unit 2, which is the main interface for the user to interact with the printing device. The control panel includes various control buttons and a display screen, which are used to manage printing tasks, adjust settings, and operate the locking mechanism of the dense paper box. The control panel 6 is electrically or wirelessly connected to the controllable mechanical lock 5 of the dense paper box 1, that is, the control panel 6 can send instructions to the controllable mechanical lock 5 to control the opening and closing of the controllable mechanical lock 5.

[0039] Preferably, the control panel 6 may include a fingerprint verification module and a password keyboard module. The fingerprint verification module provides a fast and secure way to verify the identity of the user, allowing authorized users to unlock the password box with a simple touch. Compared with memorizing passwords or carrying keys, fingerprint verification greatly simplifies the operation process and improves the user experience. The password keyboard module allows the use of user digital passwords for identity authentication, which provides another secure access method for users who do not have registered fingerprints or prefer to use passwords. In addition, by setting a temporary password, temporary users can be easily authorized to access printed materials without having to disclose permanent passwords or register fingerprints, which enhances the flexibility and security management of the device. The combination of the password keyboard and the fingerprint verification module provides double security protection. Even if one of the verification methods cannot be used due to technical failure, the other method can still ensure secure access. By integrating the fingerprint verification module and the password keyboard module, the control panel of the present application becomes the core security and operation interface of the printing device, providing users with a safe and convenient way to manage and protect their printed materials.

[0040] A paper outlet 7 is provided at the top of the printing unit 2, and the paper outlet 7 is the paper outlet of a conventional printer, that is, the printer of the present application supports both confidential printing, so that the printed materials are placed in the confidential paper box 1, and ordinary printing, so that the printed materials are delivered from the paper outlet 7.

[0041] Preferably, there is a first paper feeding channel (not shown) between the printing unit 2 and the paper feeding box 3. The first paper feeding channel provides a direct channel for blank paper inside the printer, that is, it is transmitted from the paper feeding box 3 to the printing unit 2. In coordination with this, a double roller paper feeding mechanism is provided in the paper feeding box 3, and the double roller paper feeding mechanism includes two groups of symmetrically arranged rollers in front and back. The front roller group is responsible for extracting paper from the paper feeding box, and the rear roller group is responsible for pushing the paper to the printing unit 2 through the above-mentioned first paper feeding channel. Specifically, the front roller group can be located inside the paper feeding box, close to the position where the paper is stacked. The main responsibility of the front roller group is to stably extract the top paper from the paper feeding box, ensuring that only one sheet is extracted at a time to avoid multiple pages being pulled out at the same time and causing paper jams. The rear roller group is located at the entrance of the first paper feeding channel, closely following the front roller group. Its task is to receive the paper extracted by the front roller group and push it smoothly into the first paper feeding channel until it reaches the printing unit 2.

[0042] Through the precise control of the front roller group, it can ensure that only one sheet of paper is extracted at a time, reducing printing errors and paper waste caused by multiple sheets of paper being pulled out at the same time. The rear roller group ensures the stability of the paper during transmission, avoids paper deflection or curling, and ensures printing quality. The design of this paper feeding mechanism allows for effective handling of papers of different weights and thicknesses, improving the applicability and flexibility of the printing device. The dual-roller paper feeding mechanism can effectively reduce the chance of paper jams during extraction and transmission through precise paper control.

[0043] Preferably, there is a second paper feeding channel between the printing unit 2 and the dense paper box 1. The second paper feeding channel is a paper transmission path connecting the printing unit 2 and multiple dense paper boxes 1. It starts from the printing unit 2 and branches to the entrance of each dense paper box 1. This channel allows the printed paper to be directly fed from the printing unit 2 to the designated dense paper box 1 without external processing, thereby increasing the confidentiality and organization of the printed materials.

[0044] Preferably, a rotary distributor is provided at the second paper feeding channel between the printing unit 2 and the dense paper box 1. The rotary distributor is located at the beginning of the second paper feeding channel and has multiple outlets, each of which directly corresponds to the entrance of a dense paper box. It can determine which dense paper box to feed the paper into according to the specification of the printing task or the user's choice. The distributor selects its outlet by rotation, thereby controlling which dense paper box the paper flows to. This rotation action can be automatic, based on a preset printing task configuration, or manually specified by the user through the control panel. This design supports the processing of multiple different printing tasks at the same time, distributing them to different dense paper boxes for easy classification, storage and retrieval.

[0045] Preferably, a photoelectric sensor or a touch sensor is provided at the entrance of the dense paper box 1. In the present application, the photoelectric sensor or the touch sensor at the entrance of the dense paper box can detect when the paper enters the dense paper box, thereby confirming that the printing material has been successfully transmitted and stored to ensure the completion of the printing task. If the sensor does not detect the paper, the system can issue a warning or take remedial measures. In addition, during the paper transmission process, if the photoelectric sensor or the touch sensor detects an abnormality, such as paper jam, the system can issue an alarm in time to avoid damage to the printing material or device.

[0046] Preferably, a pressure sensor may be provided at the bottom of the dense paper box 1 to determine the amount of paper by monitoring the pressure change inside the dense paper box, thereby providing information about the remaining space of the dense paper box 1. Therefore, further preferably, the present application may also provide a pressure sensor at the bottom of the paper feeding box 3 to help the user understand the remaining amount of printing material in the current paper feeding box so as to replenish it in time.

[0047] The printing process based on the above printing device is as follows:

[0048] 1. Fingerprint recognition mode:

[0049] The printer's confidential paper box is used by a dedicated person, who leaves fingerprint information in the printer. After the dedicated person submits a printing application, the printer stores the printed data in the confidential paper box. The dedicated person opens the confidential paper box and takes away the printed data after identification and authentication by the printer's fingerprint module.

[0050] 2. Password recognition mode:

[0051] There is no designated person to print the secret paper box. Each time a printing application is submitted, the printer program will feedback a password. After the printer is authenticated by the printer password keyboard module, it will open the secret paper box and take away the printed data.

[0052] It can be seen from the above technical solution that the printing device for protecting the security of printed data provided by the present application is provided with multiple secret paper boxes in the printer, and the multiple secret paper boxes can be assigned to specific persons for use. The printed documents will enter the corresponding secret paper boxes, and the secret paper boxes can be opened by the password or fingerprint on the control panel. Therefore, it can solve the security problem of the data, reduce waiting time, and improve work efficiency.

[0053] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the utility model in detail. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the utility model should be included in the scope of protection of the utility model.
