Description

La présente invention a pour objet un module d'impression et d'enregistrement destiné à être incorporé à un dispositif d'élaboration et de délivrance d'un ticket de transport.The subject of the present invention is a printing module and device for incorporation into a device development and issue of a transport ticket.

L'invention trouve une application avantageuse dans les dispositifs de distribution de tickets installés dans les gares de chemin de fer, de métro, etc.The invention finds an advantageous application in ticket distribution devices installed in train stations railway, metro, etc.

Les modules d'impression et d'enregistrement connus comportent des moyens d'alimentation d'une bande continue de papier présentant une piste magnétique. Cette bande est ensuite coupée au format du ticket désiré, format Edmonson par exemple. Le ticket ainsi obtenu est entraíné vers des moyens d'enregistrement de données sur la piste magnétique, lesquelles données sont vérifiées par des moyens de contrôle, puis, si la vérification est positive, le ticket est imprimé par impression thermique.Known printing and recording modules include means for feeding a continuous strip of paper with a magnetic stripe. This tape is then cut to the format of the desired ticket, Edmonson format for example. The ticket thus obtained is led towards means recording data on the magnetic strip, which data are verified by means of control, then, if the verification is positive, the ticket is printed by printing thermal.

Bien entendu, ces dispositifs de distribution de tickets doivent être d'autant plus fiables qu'ils doivent répondre à une fréquence d'utilisation très importante et un défaut de fonctionnement serait dommageable à la fois pour la société exploitatrice du réseau de transport et pour l'usager qui rencontrerait des difficultés à obtenir son ticket.Of course, these ticket distribution devices must be all the more reliable as they have to respond to a frequency very significant use and a malfunction would be damaging to both the operating company of the transport and for the user who would encounter difficulties in obtaining his ticket.

Il en est naturellement de même dans le cas d'une utilisation par un préposé à la délivrance de ces tickets.It is naturally the same in the case of use by an attendant to issue these tickets.

Pour être fiables, les dispositifs d'élaboration et de délivrance de tickets doivent donc faire l'objet d'un entretien régulier, notamment préventif afin de limiter les opérations de dépannage, lesquelles ne sont évidemment pas exclues.To be reliable, the development and delivery systems tickets must therefore be subject to regular maintenance, in particular preventive in order to limit troubleshooting operations, which are obviously not excluded.

Que ce soit pour un simple entretien préventif ou bien pour un dépannage plus conséquent, il est préférable que le module d'impression et d'enregistrement puisse être démonté facilement, en particulier par un non-spécialiste, comme le préposé à la délivrance des tickets, dont la fonction principale n'est pas l'entretien ni la réparation des modules.Whether for simple preventive maintenance or for more troubleshooting, it is preferable that the module can be easily disassembled, particular by a non-specialist, such as the deliverer tickets, the main function of which is not maintenance or repair of modules.

Un objet de la présente invention est de proposer un module d'impression et d'enregistrement destiné à être incorporé à un dispositif d'élaboration et de délivrance d'un ticket de transport et comportant des moyens d'alimentation d'une bande continue, des moyens de coupe de ladite bande pour l'obtention d'un ticket, des moyens d'entraínement du ticket vers des moyens d'enregistrement magnétique, de contrôle, et d'impression, module sur lequel les interventions, qu'elles soient simples ou plus élaborées, pourraient être effectuées sans démontage compliqué par le préposé lui-même s'il s'agit d'un entretien préventif constituant à dépoussiérer certains organes délicats à l'aide d'un pinceau par exemple, ou bien faciliter la tâche et réduire le temps d'intervention, toujours pénalisant, lorsqu'il s'agit d'un dépannage par un véritable professionnel du domaine.An object of the present invention is to provide a module printing and recording intended to be incorporated into a system for developing and issuing a transport ticket and comprising means for feeding a continuous strip, means for cutting said strip for obtaining a ticket, means of driving the ticket towards recording means magnetic, control, and printing, module on which the interventions, whether simple or more elaborate, could be carried out without complicated disassembly by the attendant himself if it is a preventive maintenance component to be dusted certain delicate organs using a brush for example, or facilitate the task and reduce the intervention time, always penalizing, when it comes to a breakdown by a real professional in the field.

Pour atteindre ce but, selon la présente invention, l'ensemble desdits moyens est disposé sur un chassis formant un cadre fermé par une porte d'accès s'articulant sur un côté du cadre par l'intermédiaire d'une charnière, ladite porte d'accès formant également support pour des circuits électroniques de commande et de traitement du module d'impression et d'enregistrement ainsi que pour des détecteurs de présence de la bande ou du ticket en des points de passage situés sur leur trajet.To achieve this object, according to the present invention, the assembly said means is disposed on a frame forming a closed frame by an access door hinged on one side of the frame by through a hinge, said access door forming also support for electronic control circuits and processing of the printing and recording module as well as for band or ticket presence detectors in crossing points located on their route.

Ainsi, pour atteindre les différents organes situés à l'intérieur du module conforme à l'invention, il suffit, de façon tout à fait naturelle, d'ouvrir la porte d'accès, puis de la refermer après intervention.So to reach the different organs located inside of the module according to the invention, it suffices, quite completely open the access door, then close it again after intervention.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, lesdits circuits électroniques et lesdits détecteurs de présence sont raccordés à une carte de circuit imprimé fixée sur la face extérieure de la porte d'accès. Plus spécialement, les détecteurs de présence sont disposés sur la face interne de la porte et raccordés à la carte de circuit imprimé, lesdits détecteurs de présence se mettant automatiquement en place sur lesdits points de passage lors de la fermeture de la porte d'accès. Ces dispositions permettent notamment de pouvoir intervenir directement sur les circuits électroniques sans avoir à ouvrir la porte d'accès.According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, said electronic circuits and said presence detectors are connected to a printed circuit board attached to the outside from the access door. More specifically, presence detectors are arranged on the inside of the door and connected to the card printed circuit board, said presence detectors automatically in place at said crossing points during the closing the access door. These provisions allow in particular to be able to intervene directly on the circuits without having to open the access door.

La présente invention concerne également les caractéristiques qui ressortiront au cours de la description qui va suivre, et qui devront être considérées isolément ou selon toutes leurs combinaisons techniques possibles.The present invention also relates to the characteristics which will emerge during the description which follows, and which should be considered in isolation or according to all their possible technical combinations.

Cette description donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif, fera mieux comprendre comment l'invention peut être réalisée en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :

  • La figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un module d'impression et d'enregistrement selon l'invention.
  • La figure 2 est une vue de face du chassis du module d'impression et d'enregistrement de la figure 1.
This description given by way of nonlimiting example will make it easier to understand how the invention can be produced with reference to the attached drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a printing and recording module according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a front view of the chassis of the printing and recording module of FIG. 1.

Le module d'impression et d'enregistrement, globalement désigné sous la référence 1, est destiné à être incorporé à un dispositif d'élaboration et de délivrance d'un ticket de transport.The printing and recording module, overall designated under the reference 1, is intended to be incorporated into a device for developing and issuing a transport ticket.

Le module 1 comprend des moyens d'entraínement d'une pluralité de bandes (non représentées) continues de papier munies d'une piste magnétique d'enregistrement, prévues pour être introduites de l'extérieur du module par des ouvertures correspondantes 2, 3, 4, 5 ménagées au droit d'une pluralité de couples de galets moteurs 7 et galets libres 6, formant lesdits moyens d'entraínement des bandes, entre lesquels sont introduites les extrémités de celles-ci en vue de l'entraínement vers des moyens 8 de coupe d'une portion d'une des bandes pour obtenir un ticket, ces moyens étant constitués par un couteau.Module 1 includes means for driving a plurality of continuous strips (not shown) of paper provided a magnetic recording track, intended to be introduced from outside the module through openings correspondents 2, 3, 4, 5 arranged in accordance with a plurality of pairs of drive rollers 7 and free rollers 6, forming said tape drive means, between which are introduced the ends of these for training towards means 8 cutting a portion of one of the strips to obtain a ticket, these means being constituted by a knife.

Le ticket ainsi obtenu est pris en charge par un tambour 9 qui est commandé en rotation par une poulie moteur 10 d'entraínement par l'intermédiaire d'une courroie 11 sans fin souple transportant le ticket par pincement entre une surface périphérique dudit tambour 9 et la dite courroie 11.The ticket thus obtained is taken over by a drum 9 which is controlled in rotation by a drive pulley 10 drive by means of a flexible endless belt 11 transporting the ticket by pinching between a peripheral surface of said drum 9 and the said belt 11.

Le module 1 comporte également des moyens 12 d'enregistrement de données sur la piste magnétique du ticket.Module 1 also includes means 12 recording data on the magnetic strip of the ticket.

Après que il ait été ainsi codé, le ticket transite par des moyens 13 de vérification de l'enregistrement magnétique par relecture dudit enregistrement.After it has been so coded, the ticket goes through means 13 for verifying the magnetic recording by re-reading of said recording.

Une fois le ticket codé et vérifié, des moyens d'entrainement intermédiaires, qui sont constitués par un galet moteur 10 et un galet libre 36, prennent alors en charge le ticket, echappant au volant 9 et à la courroie 11, pour le diriger vers les moyens d'impression thermique 16, où les moyens d'entraínement finaux qui sont constitués du galet moteur 14, dirigent le ticket vers une sortie distributrice 17. Un troisième galet moteur len contact avec un galet libre 15 permet de réintroduire un ticket délivré de manière à être recontrôlé. Ceci est destiné à vérifier le ticket d'un usager, signalant le non-fonctionnement de son titre.Once the ticket has been coded and verified, training resources intermediates, which are constituted by a drive roller 10 and a free roller 36, then take charge of the ticket, escaping the steering wheel 9 and belt 11, to direct it towards the means thermal printing 16, where the final drive means which consist of the drive roller 14, direct the ticket to a distributor outlet 17. A third drive roller in contact with a free roller 15 makes it possible to reintroduce a ticket issued so to be rechecked. This is intended to verify a user's ticket, signaling the non-functioning of his title.

Le module 1 comporte également des détecteurs 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 de présence de bande ou du ticket en différents points de passage de leur trajet.Module 1 also includes detectors 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 of presence of tape or ticket at different points of passage of their journey.

Il comporte aussi un ensemble de circuits électroniques de commande et de traitement permettant la gestion du module 1, c'est-à-dire des différents organes qui le composent.It also includes a set of electronic circuits command and processing allowing the management of module 1, that is to say, the different organs that compose it.

Un dispositif de ce type a déjà été écrit dans la demande de brevet français n° 94 03659 au nom de la demanderesse, à laquelle on se référera pour de plus amples détails de construction et de fonctionnement.A device of this type has already been written in the request for French patent n ° 94 03659 in the name of the plaintiff, to which refer to for further details of construction and operation.

Selon l'invention, l'ensemble des moyens d'entraínement mécanique décrits ci-dessus, c'est-à-dire les galets d'entraínement 6, 7 de la bande, le tambour 9 et son moteur 10 d'entraínement, les galets 14, 15 d'entraínement disposés en fin de circuit, les moyens 12 d'enregistrement magnétique, les moyens de contrôle 13 et les moyens 16 d'impression thermique, sont disposés sur un chassis 20 dont le contour forme un cadre 21, alors que l'ensemble des circuits électroniques, ainsi que les détecteurs 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 de présence de la bande ou du ticket sont disposés sur une porte d'accès 30 du chassis 20 s'articulant sur l'un des côtés du cadre 21 par l'intermédiaire d'une charnière 28.According to the invention, all of the drive means mechanical described above, that is to say the drive rollers 6, 7 of the strip, the drum 9 and its drive motor 10, the rollers 14, 15 drive arranged at the end of the circuit, the means 12 magnetic recording, the control means 13 and the means 16 for thermal printing, are arranged on a frame 20 whose outline forms a frame 21, while all of the electronic circuits, as well as detectors 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 of presence of the strip or the ticket are arranged on a door access 30 of the chassis 20 articulated on one of the sides of the frame 21 through a hinge 28.

De cette manière, on obtient une dissociation des fonctions électroniques des autres fonctions, ce qui permet ainsi une intervention aisée sur l'une ou l'autre de ces fonctions en cas d'incident de fonctionnement ou pour effectuer un entretien préventif sans avoir nécessairement recours à une main-d'oeuvre qualifiée.In this way, we obtain a dissociation of the functions other functions, which allows easy intervention on either of these functions in the event operating incident or to perform maintenance preventive without necessarily having to use labor qualified.
