In such a printing device, a money return port and a printed matter outlet for taking out the printed matter are generally formed on the front surface of the housing. Such printing devices are often installed in convenience stores, etc., and it is difficult to secure a large space for installation in stores, etc., so a printing device that can be installed in a narrow space is desired. It is rare. Therefore, in the printing apparatus of Patent Document 1, the money return port and the printed matter are arranged in the vertical direction so that the width is not widened.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2001-283323

However, in the printing apparatus of Patent Document 1, since the printed matter outlet is provided below the money return port, it is difficult for the user to take out the printed matter from the printed matter outlet, and it is easy for the user to forget to take out the printed matter. was there.

In order to solve such a problem, it is conceivable to arrange the money return port and the printed matter outlet side by side. However, simply arranging them side by side is not preferable because the width of the entire printing apparatus becomes wide. Further, in order to prevent the width of the entire printing apparatus from becoming wide, it is conceivable to narrow the width of the printed matter outlet. However, in this case, it becomes difficult to take out a wide printed matter, which causes a problem that the size of the printable printed matter is limited.

The present invention has been made in view of this point, and an object of the present invention is to provide a printing device and a housing for a printing device capable of easily taking out printed matter while suppressing expansion of the width of the housing. do.

A printing unit according to the present invention for achieving the above object, a money processing unit that accepts money from a user and settles a usage fee, a housing that houses the printing unit and the money processing unit, and a housing that accommodates the printing unit and the money processing unit.

It is provided with a contact portion that abuts on the portion closer to the first direction in the direction.

According to the above configuration, when the printed matter falls and moves in the printed matter moving path in an upright posture, the contact portion comes into contact with the portion of the lower side of the printed matter that is closer to the first direction in the width direction, and the falling movement is restricted. Then, since the contacted position is deviated toward the first direction side from the center of the lower side, the printed matter rotates about the contacted portion. Due to this rotation, the printed matter falls and moves in a state where the posture is displaced by approximately 90 °. When the printed matter falls on the printed matter moving path in the horizontally long posture, it falls and moves in the vertically long posture after contacting the contact portion. As a result, the printed matter can be taken out if the opening width of the printed matter outlet is set to a size suitable for the short size of the printed matter. That is, it is not necessary to adjust the opening width of the printed matter outlet to the longitudinal dimension of the printed matter, and even when printing a large-sized printed matter, the expansion of the width of the housing can be suppressed.

Further, since the opening width of the printed matter outlet can be narrowed in this way, the printed matter outlet and the money return port can be provided side by side while suppressing the expansion of the width of the housing. Therefore, the printed matter outlet can be arranged higher than the conventional one, and the printed matter can be easily taken out.

It is provided so as to be openable and closable with respect to the housing portion 4b.

A money processing unit 3 and a bill processing unit 11 are housed in the front housing portion 4a. Therefore, a money return port 10 for taking out money to be refunded to the user is formed on the front surface 8 of the housing 4. A printed matter outlet 9 for taking out the printed matter X printed by the printing unit 2 is provided so as to be side by side with the money return port 10. Specifically, the printed matter outlet 9 and the money return port 10 are located on the left side of the printed matter outlet 9 (corresponding to the first direction side of the present invention) in the width direction of the housing 4. It is provided side by side. Further, the printed matter outlet 9 and the money return port 10 are provided so as to at least partially overlap each other in the height direction of the housing 4. The bill processing unit 11 is provided above the printed matter outlet 9.

An internal space S (corresponding to the printing unit accommodating space of the present invention) for accommodating the printing unit 2 is formed in the rear housing portion 4b. The internal space S is open to the front side, and the printing unit 2 is housed in the internal space S with the discharge port 20 for discharging the printed matter X facing the front side of the housing 4 (see FIGS. 4 and 5). ).

The printing unit 2 is configured to be capable of printing the narrow printed matter Xa and the wide printed matter Xb (see FIGS. 4 and 5). Specifically, the printing unit 2 is provided with a narrow printing unit 2a capable of printing the narrow printed matter Xa and a wide printing unit 2b capable of printing the wide printed matter Xb. The internal space S is divided into two upper and lower spaces, and the wide printing portion 2b is housed on the upper side thereof, and the narrow printing section 2a is housed on the lower side thereof.

For example, the narrow printed matter Xa printed by the narrow printing unit 2a is a printed matter X of the size of an L plate or a 2L plate, and the wide printed matter Xb printed by the wide printing unit 2b is a printed matter X of the size of a postcard. Is. Although a sublimation transfer printer is used for the printing unit 2 of the present embodiment, another printing type printer such as an inkjet printer or a laser printer may be used.

The narrow printed matter 2a and the wide printed matter 2b are provided with a narrow discharge port 20a and a wide discharge port 20b for discharging the narrow printed matter Xa and the wide printed matter Xb, respectively (see FIGS. 4 and 5). The wide discharge port 20b and the narrow discharge port 20a are arranged vertically, and a printed matter outlet 9 is provided further below them. The printed matter X discharged from the wide discharge port 20b and the narrow discharge port 20a is configured to naturally fall toward the printed matter outlet 9 through the printed matter moving path 12 (details will be described later).

FIG. 2 is a rear perspective view of the front housing portion 4a. As shown in FIG. 2, a printed matter moving path 12 for moving the printed matter X from the printed matter 2 toward the printed matter outlet 9 in an upright posture is provided on the rear side of the front side housing portion 4a. The upright state is a state in which at least a part of the printed surface of the printed matter X faces the front side or the rear side of the housing 4.

Openings are formed at the upper end, the middle portion, and the lower end of the printed matter moving path 12, and the second printed matter inlet 12b, which is the entrance of the wide printed matter Xb, the first printed matter inlet 12a, which is the entrance of the narrow printed matter Xa, and the like, respectively. , The printed matter outlet 12c which is the outlet of the narrow printed matter Xa and the wide printed matter Xb.

With the front housing portion 4a closed with respect to the rear housing portion 4b, the narrow discharge port 20a of the narrow printing portion 2a is slightly above the first printed matter inlet 12a, and the wide printing portion 2b is wide. The discharge port 20b is arranged so as to be located slightly above the second printed matter inlet 12b. As a result, the narrow printed matter Xa discharged from the narrow discharge port 20a of the narrow printing unit 2a is discharged from the first printed matter inlet 12a, and the wide printed matter Xb discharged from the wide discharge port 20b of the wide printing unit 2b is the first. 2 From the printed matter entrance 12b, each moves to the printed matter moving path 12.

The printed matter 2 discharges the printed matter X from the discharge port 20 in a horizontally long posture, that is, so that the longitudinal direction of the printed matter X is the width direction of the housing 4 when viewed from the front side of the housing 4. As a result, the distance from the discharge port 20 to the printed matter moving path 12 can be shortened, and the front-rear dimension of the housing 4 can be reduced.

Further, below the printed matter outlet 12c, a printed matter receiving portion 13 for receiving the printed matter X that has fallen and moved along the printed matter moving path 12 is provided. The printed matter receiving portion 13 has an opening at the front, and is fixed to the front housing portion 4a so that the opening and the printed matter outlet 9 communicate with each other. Therefore, the user can take out the printed matter X received by the printed matter receiving unit 13 from the printed matter outlet 9.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing details of the printed matter moving path 12. The printed matter moving path 12 is formed by combining the moving path front member 14a and the moving path rear member 14b. The moving path front member 14a is attached to the back surface of the front side housing portion 4a, and the moving path rear member 14b is attached to the moving path front member 14a so as to be openable and closable. Note that FIG. 3 is a view showing a state in which the moving path rear member 14b is opened.

As shown in FIG. 3, the printed matter moving path 12 includes a contact portion 15 below the first printed matter inlet 12a. The contact portion 15 is provided on the left side side of the printed matter moving path 12 in the width direction. The abutting portion 15 is provided between the left and right ends of the wide printed matter Xb and at a position on the left side of the intermediate portion thereof in relation to the wide printed matter Xb that moves and falls. Further, in relation to the narrow printed matter Xa that falls and moves, the contact portion 15 is provided at a position on the left side of the left end of the narrow printed matter Xa. That is, the contact portion 15 is provided on the outside on the left side of the drop movement path of the narrow printed matter Xa. In other words, the contact portion 15 is provided at a position where it abuts on the wide printed matter Xb that falls and moves, but does not abut on the narrow printed matter Xa.

In the present embodiment, the contact portion 15 includes a shaft portion 15a formed in a rod shape and a rotating portion 15b that can rotate along the outer circumference of the shaft portion 15a. One end of the shaft portion 15a is fixed to the moving path rear member 14b, and when the moving path rear member 14b is closed, the axial center thereof is configured to be in a posture along the front-rear direction.

The rotating portion 15b or the outer peripheral portion of the rotating portion 15b is made of an elastic member. By configuring the rotating portion 15b in this way, it is possible to prevent the wide printed matter Xb from being damaged when the wide printed matter Xb that falls and moves comes into contact with the contact portion 15. As the elastic member, for example, a foamed sponge body having sufficient flexibility can be used.

Further, the printed matter moving path 12 is provided with a rotation stop portion 16 and a guide inclined surface 17 (an example of the guide portion of the present invention) below the contact portion 15.

The movement of the ejected printing unit X will be described below. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a moving state of the wide printed matter Xb. In the figure, the wide printed matter Xb during the falling movement is indicated by a long-dotted chain line, and the wide printed matter Xb immediately before entering the printed matter receiving portion 13 is indicated by a solid line.

First, the wide printed matter Xb discharged from the wide discharge port 20b enters the printed matter moving path 12 from the second printed matter entrance 12b in a standing posture and a horizontally long posture. The wide printed matter Xb falls and moves on the printed matter moving path 12 in the same posture, and comes into contact with the contact portion 15. As described above, since the abutting portion 15 is located on the left side of the middle portion of the long side of the wide printed matter Xb, the wide printed matter Xb that abuts on the abutting portion 15 is centered on the abutting portion. It rotates (rotates to the right in this example) and shifts to a vertically long posture. At this time, since the contact portion 15 is formed as described above, the wide printed matter Xb rotates smoothly.

When the rotation angle of the wide printed matter Xb exceeds a predetermined angle, the wide printed matter Xb starts the falling movement again while performing a slight rotational movement, and falls and moves in a substantially vertically long posture. At this time, the rotation angle of the wide printed matter Xb may exceed a predetermined angle, and the wide printed matter Xb may try to rotate further than the vertically long posture. In that case, the long side of the wide printed matter Xb comes into contact with the rotation stopper 16, and its rotation is restricted. Therefore, the wide printed matter Xb continues to fall and move in a substantially vertically long posture, and is housed in the printed matter receiving portion 13. As a result, it is not necessary to widen the width of the printed matter outlet 9 more than necessary while making it possible to print the wide printed matter X. That is, the width of the printed matter outlet 9 may correspond to the dimension of the wide printed matter Xb in the lateral direction.

Since the printed matter moving path 12 has a sufficient thickness (length in the front-rear direction) with respect to the thickness of the printed matter X, the printed matter X that falls and moves, particularly the rotating wide printed matter Xb, may be displaced in the front-rear direction. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the rotation stop portion 16 is composed of a plurality of members in order to facilitate the regulation of the rotation of the wide printed matter Xb. For example, when the position of the rotating wide printed matter Xb is closer to the front, the front side surface portion erected on the left side of the moving path front member 14a becomes the rotation stop portion 16a. When the position of the rotating wide printed matter Xb is closer to the rear, the lower end convex portion erected on the left lower end portion of the moving path rear member 14b becomes the rotation stop portion 16b.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a moving state of the narrow printed matter Xa. In the figure, the narrow printed matter Xa during the falling movement is indicated by a long-dotted chain line, and the narrow printed matter Xa immediately before entering the printed matter receiving portion 13 is indicated by a solid line. First, the narrow printed matter Xa discharged from the narrow discharge port 20a enters the printed matter moving path 12 from the first printed matter entrance 12a in a standing posture and a horizontally long posture. The narrow printed matter Xa falls and moves on the printed matter moving path 12 in the same posture. At this time, the left end of the narrow printed matter Xa comes into contact with the guide slope 17.

The guide inclined surface 17 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a cross section taken along the line VI-VI of FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, a moving road inclined surface 18 is formed at a position on the lower side of the first printed matter entrance 12a on the front side of the moving road rear member 14b so as to be located on the front side toward the lower side. A guide inclined surface 17 is formed at a position to the left of the moving path inclined surface 18. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the guide inclined surface 17 is configured as an inclined surface so as to be located forward toward the left side and forward toward the lower side.

As shown in FIG. 5, the narrow printed matter Xa that falls and moves in the printed matter moving path 12 is guided to the right side in the printed matter moving path 12 by abutting on the guide inclined surface 17. As a result, the narrow printed matter Xa that falls and moves in the printed matter moving path 12 can be dropped to the right side of the housing 4. Therefore, the printed matter outlet 9 can be arranged at a position closer to the right side of the housing 4, that is, on the right side of the money return port 10.

With such a printed matter moving path 12, in the photographic printing apparatus 1 in the present embodiment, even when the wide printed matter Xb is discharged, it is not necessary to adjust the width of the printed matter outlet 9 to the long side length of the wide printed matter Xb. As a result, the wide printed matter Xb can be printed while suppressing the expansion of the width of the photo printing device 1. Further, since the narrow printed matter Xa can be guided to a position closer to the right of the photo printing device 1, the money return port 10 and the printed matter outlet 9 can be arranged side by side. This facilitates the taking out of the printed matter X and also contributes to the prevention of forgetting to take out the printed matter X.
