Abstract

A lead-sealable housing, especially for use as a variable peripheral unit, for example equipped as a printer, data memory module with or without a control keyboard (38), for connection to a taxi meter, is described. The housing is composed of a housing top part (1) and of a housing bottom part (2) which serve for receiving the electronic units and which are protected by means of lead-sealable screws (3, 4). Because a paper storage shaft (11) is formed integrally in the housing top part (1), access to the electronic units remains closed. A combination of lids (12, 16) firmly connectable to the housing top part (1) or of a cover (19) and/or of a cover plate (40) makes it possible to obtain a universal modification of the equipment housing designs. <IMAGE>

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein plombierbares Gehäuse für Taxameter-Drucker und Taxameter-Datenspeichermodule mit und ohne Bedientastatur, bestehend aus einem Gehäuseoberteil und einem Gehäuseunterteil, in welchen die elektronischen Einheiten für Datenspeicherung untergebracht sind, mit einem von der Bedienerseite zugänglichen Papiervorratsschacht, mit einer durch die Gehäuseplomben-Schraube unzugänglich verschließbaren Unterbringung der elektronischen Einheiten, mit Deckel für Papiervorratsschacht und Belegentnahmeschacht.The present invention relates to a sealable housing for taximeter printers and taximeter data storage modules with and without an operating keyboard, consisting of an upper housing part and a lower housing part, in which the electronic units for data storage are housed, with a paper supply shaft accessible from the operator side, with one through which Housing seal screw inaccessible lockable housing of the electronic units, with cover for paper supply shaft and document removal shaft.

Ein Taxameter oder ein Fahrpreisanzeigegerät ist hinsichtlich seiner Grundfunktion und Anwendung in einem Kraftfahrzeug hinreichend bekannt. Es handelt sich hierbei grundsätzlich um ein vorwiegend in Taxifahrzeugen eingebautes Gerät, das aus Wegstrecken- und Zeitelementen aufgrund der Inanspruchnahme eines Taxifahrzeuges einen zu bezahlenden Fahrpreis errechnet und anzeigt. Zur Ermittlung eines Fahrpreises stellen ein Weggeber und ein Zeitgeber leistungsbezogen entsprechende Impulsfolgen zur Verfügung, die nach einer vorgegebenen Regel in einen Rechner einfließen und dort nach einem vorgegebenen Modus, der im wesentlichen von einer Tarifordnung bestimmt wird, zu Fahrpreiseinheiten umgewandelt werden. Die schrittweise in einer Recheneinheit aufsummierten Fahrpreiseinheiten werden entsprechend in einer Digitalanzeige ständig angezeigt.A taximeter or a fare display device is sufficiently known with regard to its basic function and application in a motor vehicle. Basically, this is a device mainly installed in taxi vehicles, which calculates and displays a fare to be paid from distance and time elements based on the use of a taxi vehicle. To determine a fare, a travel sensor and a timer provide corresponding pulse sequences, which flow into a computer according to a predefined rule and are converted there into fare units according to a predefined mode, which is essentially determined by a tariff order. The fare units summed up step by step in a computing unit are accordingly continuously displayed in a digital display.

Während der Taxameter ausschließlich der Berechnung und Anzeige eines Fahrpreises dient, entstand schon früh der Wunsch nach einer Registrierung und Belegerstellung hinsichtlich der von einem Fahrer in seiner Schicht geleisteten Dienstfahrten. Damit war mit der Einführung eines Druckers zum Taxameter auf der einen Seite die Möglichkeit gegeben, dem Fahrgast eine von einem Drucker erstellte Quittung über den zu bezahlenden Fahrpreis zu geben, zum anderen brachte diese Erweiterung mit einem Druckersystem gewisse Vorteile hinsichtlich der Registrierung aller Fahrten, insbesondere für die Abrechnung des Fahrers mit dem Unternehmer nach Schichtende.While the taximeter was used solely for the calculation and display of a fare, the desire to register and create receipts with regard to the business trips made by a driver in his shift arose early on. With the introduction of a printer to the taximeter, on the one hand, it was possible for the passenger to receive a receipt created by a printer to give the fare to be paid, on the other hand, this extension with a printer system brought certain advantages with regard to the registration of all trips, in particular for the settlement of the driver with the entrepreneur after the end of the shift.

In diesem Zusammenhang ist gemäß der DE-28 17 582 A1 ein Aufzeichnungssystem für Fahrzeuge in Verbindung mit einem Fahrpreisanzeiger bekannt geworden. Es handelt sich hierbei um ein Aufzeichnungssystem, insbesondere für Taxis, das neben dem Fahrpreisanzeiger aus einem Aufzeichnungsgerät besteht, das unter anderem die jeweilige Betriebsart des Fahrpreisanzeigers in Abhängigkeit von einem Steuersignal speichert. Das Aufzeichnungsgerät ist als Drucker ausgebildet und im Gehäuse des Fahrpreisanzeigers untergebracht. Durch eine seitliche Tür im Gehäuse des Fahrpreisanzeigers, die vorzugsweise nur mit einem Schlüssel geöffnet werden kann, erhält man Zugang zu der Druckvorrichtung, die im wesentlichen in numerierter Reihenfolge die einzelnen Fahrbedingungen zusammen mit dem Abdruck einer aktuellen Zeitangabe abdruckt. Darüber hinaus liefert dieser Drucker keine weiteren Informationen, über welche eine detaillierte Datenerfassung möglich wäre, noch können diesem Drucker besondere Anweisungen gegeben werden hinsichtlich gewünschter Auswertungsfunktionen seitens des Druckers, da diesbezüglich eine Bedientastatur fehlt. Diese Druckeinrichtung ist auch nicht eingerichtet, neben der Registrierfunktion einen Quittungsbeleg für den Fahrgast zu erstellen.In this connection, according to DE-28 17 582 A1, a recording system for vehicles in connection with a fare display has become known. This is a recording system, in particular for taxis, which, in addition to the fare display, consists of a recording device which, among other things, stores the respective operating mode of the fare display as a function of a control signal. The recording device is designed as a printer and housed in the housing of the fare indicator. A side door in the housing of the fare indicator, which can preferably only be opened with a key, gives access to the printing device, which essentially prints the individual driving conditions together with the print of a current time in a numbered order. In addition, this printer does not provide any further information about which a detailed data acquisition would be possible, nor can special instructions be given to this printer with regard to the desired evaluation functions on the part of the printer, since a control keyboard is missing in this regard. This printing device is also not set up to create a receipt for the passenger in addition to the registration function.

Eine weitere Ausbildungsform eines Taxameters mit einer möglichen Druckerperipherie ist in der DE-33 12 155 A1 angezeigt. Darin wird ein Taxameter beschrieben, bei dem das Zähl- und Rechenwerk in einem ersten Gehäuse untergebracht ist, davon getrennt in einem zweiten Gehäuse ist die Anzeigevorrichtung mit den Bedienungsdruckknöpfen angeordnet. Beide Geräteteile sind mit einem Verbindungskabel miteinander verbunden. Ist darüber hinaus ein Druckwerk vorgesehen, so ist letzteres in einem dritten Gehäuse untergebracht, das wiederum über ein Verbindungskabel mit dem Zähl- und Rechenwerk in dem erstgenannten Gehäuse in Verbindung steht. Diese dezentrale Anordnung der einzelnen Gerätekomponenten dient lediglich dem Zweck, den Einbau eines Taxameters bei den sich ergebenden unterschiedlichen Raumverhältnissen in den verschiedenen für den Taxibetrieb eingesetzten Fahrzeugen zu erleichtern.Another form of training of a taximeter with a possible printer periphery is indicated in DE-33 12 155 A1. A taximeter is described therein, in which the counter and arithmetic unit is accommodated in a first housing, and the display device with the operating push buttons is arranged separately in a second housing. Both parts of the device are connected to each other with a connecting cable. If a printing unit is also provided, the latter is accommodated in a third housing, which in turn is connected to the counting and arithmetic unit in the first-mentioned housing via a connecting cable. This decentralized arrangement of the individual device components only serves the purpose of facilitating the installation of a taximeter in the different spatial conditions that result in the various vehicles used for taxi operation.

Ein weiteres elektronisches Taxametergerät mit einem integrierten Drucker ist durch die französische Patentanmeldung FR-A-2 559 289 bekannt geworden. Es handelt sich hierbei um ein Taxametergerät, dessen Gehäusekonzept für den Einschub in die Fahrzeugarmatur vorgesehen ist und aus einem modifizierten hinteren Gehäuseteil und einem gleichfalls modifizierten, frontseitigen Deckel besteht, die im Betriebszustand plombiert sind. In beiden Gehäuseteilen sind nach oben gerichtete Öffnungen vorgesehen, die der Aufnahme der Papierrolle und des Druckers dienen. Der Papierrollenraum wird durch einen Deckel abgedeckt. Der Drucker samt der Belegführung ist in einem Schubfach angeordnet, das im Sinne der Beleghandhabung senkrecht nach oben aus dem Gehäuse ausfahrbar ist.Another electronic taximeter device with an integrated printer is known from French patent application FR-A-2 559 289. This is a taximeter device, the housing concept of which is intended for insertion into the vehicle fitting and consists of a modified rear housing part and a likewise modified front cover, which are sealed in the operating state. In both housing parts upward openings are provided, which serve to hold the paper roll and the printer. The paper roll room is covered by a lid. The printer together with the document guide is arranged in a drawer which can be extended vertically upwards out of the housing in the sense of document handling.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, für den Anschluß an einen Taxameter der herkömmlichen Art ein flexibel gestaltbares Peripheriegerätekonzept zu entwickeln, das gleichzeitig den Gegebenheiten der unterschiedlich gestaltbaren Datenerfassungsmöglichkeiten Rechnung trägt.The object of the invention is to develop a flexibly designed peripheral device concept for connection to a taximeter of the conventional type, which at the same time takes into account the conditions of the differently designed data acquisition options.

Die Lösung für ein plombierbares Gehäuse für Peripheriegeräte der angezeigten Art zum Anschluß an einen Taxameter ist durch die im Kennzeichen des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale dargestellt.The solution for a sealable housing for peripheral devices of the type shown for connection to a taximeter is represented by the features specified in the characterizing part of patent claim 1.

Weitere Merkmale zur Ausgestaltung der variabel ausrüstbaren Peripheriegeräte sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Further features for the design of the peripherals which can be equipped with variable features are specified in the subclaims.

Mit dem Konzept für die Gestaltung des Gehäuseoberteiles und des Gehäuseunterteiles, die durch plombierbare Verschraubung verbunden und gesichert sind, ist es gelungen, mit einem Minimum an zusätzlichen Teilen, das aus nur zwei Teilen betehende Grundgehäuse so abzuwandeln, daß daraus eine Mehrzahl für die Belange der unterschiedlichen Datenerfassungsprinzipien ausrüstbaren Peripheriegeräte erstellbar sind unter gleichzeitiger Beibehaltung der erforderlichen Maßnahmen zur Sicherung gegen unbefugten Eingriff von außen. Die Kombination von Gehäuseoberteil mit dem Gehäuseunterteil ist durch die Montage beispielsweise einer Abdeckung aus zwei über Filmscharniere verbundenen Deckeln als Gehäuse für einen Belegdrucker verwendbar. Wird das Teil mit den rastenden Deckeln ersetzt durch eine starre Abdeckung, so kann das Gehäuse in Erweiterung der Taxameterperipherie der Aufnahme eines externen Speichermoduls dienen. Beide vorgestellten Gehäusebauformen schließlich sind mit oder ohne Bediener-Tastatur ausrüstbar, indem bei den Ausbildungsvarianten ohne Bedienertastatur eine auf die entsprechenden Gehäusedurchbrüche aufsetzbare Abdeckung vorgesehen ist, die die Tastenöffnungen hermetisch verschließt und von der Gehäuseinnenseite gegen eine Abnahme gesichert ist.With the concept for the design of the upper part of the housing and the lower part of the housing, which are connected and secured by sealable screw connections, it has been possible to modify the basic housing consisting of only two parts with a minimum of additional parts so that a majority for the needs of Peripheral devices that can be equipped with different data acquisition principles can be created while at the same time maintaining the necessary measures for securing against unauthorized intervention from outside. The combination of the upper housing part with the lower housing part can be used as a housing for a receipt printer by installing, for example, a cover consisting of two lids connected by film hinges. If the part with the latching lids is replaced by a rigid cover, the housing can serve to accommodate an external memory module in the extension of the taximeter periphery. Finally, both of the housing designs presented can be equipped with or without an operator keyboard, in the case of the design variants without an operator keyboard, a cover which can be placed on the corresponding housing openings and which hermetically seals the key openings and is secured against removal from the inside of the housing is provided.

Die FIG. 1 bis 3 zeigen drei Beispiele von Ausstattungsvarianten für Peripheriegeräte zum Anschluß an einen Taxameter der bekannten Art (z. B. nach DE-34 19 773.7). In der Ausstattungsvariante gemäß FIG. 1 ist ein Drucker 6 für den Anschluß an einen Taxameter dargestellt, der neben der Fähigkeit der Erstellung von Belegen, Abrechnungsinformationen und vieler anderer für eine Taxiunternehmung relevanten Daten mehrere integrierte Funktionsbereiche enthält. Das Grundkonzept des variabel gestaltbaren Gehäuses hierzu besteht aus einem Gehäuseoberteil 1 und einem Gehäuseunterteil 2, die nach dem Einbau der elektronischen Schaltungsgruppen mit zwei plombierbaren Schrauben 3, 4 gegen unbefugten Eingriff in die elektronischen Schaltungsteile gesichert sind. Die plombierbare Schraube 3 dient neben der Verschraubung des Gehäuseoberteils 1 mit dem Gehäuseunterteil 2 der Befestigung einer Klappe 5, die zum Zwecke eines Datentransfers aus dem Drucker 6 oder der beabsichtigten Einlesung von Informationen in den Drucker 6 über ein gehäuseintern angeordnetes Steckerelement und durch den Anschluß eines nicht näher gezeigten Einlesegerätes vorgesehen ist. Während sich der bewegliche Teil der Klappe 5 öffnen läßt, ist ein mit der plombierbaren Schraube 3 gesicherter Sockel 9 der Klappe 5 so ausgebildet, daß er gleichzeitig einen im Gehäuseoberteil 1 vorgesehenen Durchbruch 10 (FIG. 4) abdeckt, der den Zugang zu einem nicht näher bezeichneten internen Umschalter freigibt. Der Zugang zu dem genannten Umschalter ist nur einem dazu berechtigten Personenkreis gestattet, weshalb hierzu auch eine plombierbare Schraube 3 zur Sicherung des Durchbruchs 10 vorgeschrieben ist.The FIG. 1 to 3 show three examples of equipment variants for peripheral devices for connection to a taximeter of the known type (for example according to DE-34 19 773.7). In the equipment variant according to FIG. 1 shows a printer 6 for connection to a taximeter which, in addition to the ability to create receipts, billing information and many other data relevant to a taxi company, contains several integrated functional areas. The basic concept of the variably designed housing for this consists of an upper housing part 1 and a lower housing part 2, which are secured with two sealable screws 3, 4 after installation of the electronic circuit groups against unauthorized access to the electronic circuit parts. The sealable screw 3 is used in addition to the screwing of the upper housing part 1 to the lower housing part 2 of the fastening of a flap 5, which for the purpose of data transfer from the printer 6 or the intended reading of information into the printer 6 via a plug element arranged inside the housing and by connecting one Reading device not shown is provided. While the movable part of the flap 5 can be opened, one with the sealable one Screw 3 secured base 9 of the flap 5 so designed that it simultaneously covers an opening 10 provided in the upper housing part 1 (FIG. 4), which releases access to an internal changeover switch (not specified). Access to the switch mentioned is only permitted to a group of people authorized to do so, which is why a sealable screw 3 is also required to secure the opening 10.

Die zweite plombierbare Schraube 4 (FIG. 1, 2, 3) dient der absoluten Sicherung der Verbindung des Gehäuseoberteils 1 mit dem Gehäuseunterteil 2 gegen einen unbefugten Eingriff in die gehäuseintern angeordneten Schaltungsmaßnahmen und unterliegt einer behördlichen Überwachung.The second sealable screw 4 (FIG. 1, 2, 3) is used to absolutely secure the connection of the upper housing part 1 to the lower housing part 2 against unauthorized intervention in the circuit measures arranged inside the housing and is subject to official monitoring.

Da es bei einer Ausstattungsvarianten für einen Drucker 6 gemäß FIG. 1 und 3 erforderlich ist, von Zeit zu Zeit den Papiervorrat zu ergänzen, ist im Gehäuseoberteil 1 ein Papiervorratsschacht 11 (FIG. 4) vorgesehen, der über einen rastbaren Deckel 12 (FIG. 1, 3, 5, 5A) das Einlegen einer Papiervorratsrolle 13 gestattet. Der Austritt eines bedruckten Papierstreifens 14 erfolgt durch einen Belegentnahmeschacht 15, der durch einen weiteren rastbaren Dekkel 16 einen Zugriff zur Belegführung im nicht näher dargestellten Druckwerk gestattet.Since it is in an equipment variant for a printer 6 according to FIG. 1 and 3 is required to supplement the paper supply from time to time, a paper supply shaft 11 (FIG. 4) is provided in the upper housing part 1, which via a latchable cover 12 (FIG. 1, 3, 5, 5A) the insertion of a paper supply roll 13 allowed. The exit of a printed paper strip 14 takes place through a document removal shaft 15, which allows access to document guidance in the printing unit, not shown, through a further latchable cover 16.

Das Gehäuseoberteil 1 weist zur Modifikation der Gerätegehäuse im Bereich zwischen dem Papiervorratsschacht 11 und dem Belegentnahmeschacht 15 einen Quersteg 17 (FIG. 4) auf, in welchem Bohrungen 18 vorgesehen sind, in die unterschiedlich ausgebildete Deckel 12, 16 (FIG. 5) bzw. eine Abdeckung 19 (FIG. 6) aufsteckbar sind. Zu diesem Zwecke sind an dem einen Deckel 12 über Filmscharniere 20 verbundene Laschen 21 mit wärmetechnisch verformbaren Aufsteckzapfen 22 vorgesehen, mittels welchen die einstückig ausgebildeten Deckel 12, 16 mit dem Gehäuseoberteil 1 verbindbar sind.
