Description

オートカッタ装置及びプリンタユニットAuto-cutter device and printer unit
　本発明は、オートカッタ装置及びプリンタユニットに関する。 The present invention relates to an auto cutter device and a printer unit.
　ＰＯＳ端末や発券端末には、小型のサーマルプリンタユニットが組み込まれており、連続する用紙を自動的に切断する機能を備えたもの、または、手で引っ張ることにより用紙を切断するもの等がある。 POS terminals and ticket issuing terminals include a small thermal printer unit that has a function of automatically cutting continuous paper, or a paper that is cut by hand.
　連続する用紙を自動的に切断する機能を備えたサーマルプリンタユニットの場合では、サーマルヘッドとプラテンとモータとを備えた構成のサーマルプリンタユニット本体に、用紙を切断するためのオートカッタ装置が取り付けられている。このオートカッタ装置は、固定刃と、可動刃と、可動刃を移動させるモータ等を含む可動刃機構部とを備えている。 In the case of a thermal printer unit that automatically cuts continuous paper, an auto cutter device for cutting paper is attached to the main body of the thermal printer unit that has a thermal head, platen, and motor. ing. The auto cutter device includes a fixed blade, a movable blade, and a movable blade mechanism including a motor that moves the movable blade.
　一方、手の力により用紙を切断するサーマルプリンタの場合では、上述したサーマルプリンタユニット本体に、固定刃が備えられており、所定の方向に用紙を引っ張ることにより、用紙は固定刃により切断される。 On the other hand, in the case of a thermal printer that cuts paper by hand, the above-described thermal printer unit body is provided with a fixed blade, and the paper is cut by the fixed blade by pulling the paper in a predetermined direction. .
特開２００５－２７１２０４号公報JP 2005-271204 A 特開２００９－１４３１００号公報JP 2009-143100 A
　ところで、図１に示されるように、連続する用紙を自動的に切断する機能を備えたプリンタユニット（カッタ付きプリンタユニット）１００では、サーマルヘッドを有するプリンタユニット１０１と、用紙を自動的に切断するためのカッタ装置１０２とを組み合わせることにより、連続する用紙を自動的に切断する機能を備えたプリンタユニット１００が作製される。この場合、サーマルヘッドを有するプリンタユニット１０１及びカッタ装置１０２は各々一体化しており、作製されるカッタ付きプリンタユニット１００の組み合わせはネジ留め等によりなされる。このためカッタ付きプリンタユニット１００は大型化し、また、カッタ刃のみを交換する場合においても、内部を分解するかカッタ装置１０２の全体を交換する必要があり、交換の際の時間又は費用が高くなり、メンテナンス費用が高くなってしまうという問題点を有していた。 Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 1, in a printer unit (a printer unit with a cutter) 100 having a function of automatically cutting continuous paper, a printer unit 101 having a thermal head and paper are automatically cut. In combination with the cutter device 102, a printer unit 100 having a function of automatically cutting continuous paper is produced. In this case, the printer unit 101 having the thermal head and the cutter device 102 are integrated with each other, and the combination of the printer unit 100 with the cutter to be manufactured is made by screwing or the like. For this reason, the size of the printer unit 100 with a cutter is increased, and even when only the cutter blade is replaced, it is necessary to disassemble the inside or replace the entire cutter device 102, which increases the time or cost for the replacement. The problem was that the maintenance cost would be high.
　また、別の構成のカッタ付きプリンタユニットでは、サーマルヘッドを有するプリンタユニット本体部にオートカッタ駆動部（可動刃駆動部）及び固定刃が搭載されており、このプリンタユニット本体部に、可動刃モジュールを組み合わせて接続することによりカッタ付きプリンタユニットが作製されるものである。尚、オートカッタ駆動部は、モータ及び連結ギア等を一体化したものとして構成されている。この構成の場合、プリンタユニット本体部にオートカッタ駆動部が搭載されているため、小型化にすることは可能であるが、オートカッタ駆動部のみを交換することは極めて困難であり、メンテナンス費用が高くなってしまうという問題点は解消しない。 In a printer unit with a cutter having another configuration, an auto cutter driving unit (movable blade driving unit) and a fixed blade are mounted on a printer unit main body having a thermal head, and a movable blade module is mounted on the printer unit main body. A printer unit with a cutter is manufactured by connecting in combination. The auto cutter drive unit is configured as an integrated motor and connecting gear. In this configuration, since the auto cutter drive unit is mounted on the printer unit main body, it is possible to reduce the size, but it is extremely difficult to replace only the auto cutter drive unit, and maintenance costs are low. The problem of becoming high will not be solved.
　更に、上述のとおり、連続する用紙を自動的に切断する機能を備えた可動刃を備えたサーマルプリンタと、手で引っ張ることにより用紙を切断する固定刃のみを有するサーマルプリンタとは、同様のサーマルプリンタユニット本体部等を有していることから、サーマルプリンタユニット本体部等を共用することができれば、双方のプリンタユニットの低コスト化につながり好ましい。 Furthermore, as described above, a thermal printer having a movable blade having a function of automatically cutting continuous paper and a thermal printer having only a fixed blade that cuts paper by pulling by hand are similar thermal printers. Since the printer unit main body and the like are provided, it is preferable to share the thermal printer unit main body and the like, which leads to cost reduction of both printer units.
　本発明は、上記に鑑みてなされたものであり、固定刃、可動刃、可動刃駆動部の交換が容易で、短時間に低価格でメンテナンスが可能なオートカッタ装置及びプリンタユニットを提供することを目的とするものである。 The present invention has been made in view of the above, and provides an auto-cutter device and a printer unit in which a fixed blade, a movable blade, and a movable blade drive unit can be easily replaced, and maintenance can be performed at a low cost in a short time. It is intended.
