Description

Self-service printing equipment Technical Field The application relates to the field of printers, in particular to self-service printing equipment. Background Self-service printing apparatuses generally include a housing, a printer module, and a paper output/collection unit, and printed papers are often stacked on a common tray in a horizontal or slightly inclined manner or distributed to a plurality of fixed paper magazines. In order to reduce information leakage, the prior proposal usually adopts the modes of stacking face down, installing a cover plate, locking a paper bin or delivering the whole document into an envelope, and the like, and has a structure for realizing simple portioning through a sorter/a displacement tray for convenient taking. However, when a plurality of documents are continuously printed in a queuing and temporarily stored in the device, the document content area may still be exposed during waiting or sorting, and the paper output tray is mostly in an integral stacking form, so that the arrangement effect of 'effective shielding of front page to rear page content and only exposure of side marks' cannot be stably generated in the observation direction. On the other hand, existing self-service printing devices generally rely on time sequence or simple position counting in terms of accurate release of "target pages/target copies", and lack a deterministic mapping relationship with page side serial numbers (or code bands). Even if part of equipment sets identification marks on the side edges of paper, a gating structure corresponding to specific bearing positions is not established one by one, and under the scene of parallel temporary storage, single pages are difficult to be released rapidly and accurately or a section of continuous pages is released synchronously to form a whole document. In addition, conventional sort/release mechanisms often require a large number of independent actuators and contacts, are complex to connect, high in maintenance cost, and poor in fault tolerance, and when multiple target documents are required to be released simultaneously, risks of missort, secondary handling, or paper jams are likely to occur. Based on this, there is a need for a self-service printing device structure that can realize the shielding of the content area and the visualization of the serial number area in the temporary storage stage, and can complete the "single-page click release" and the "continuous section linked release" under the condition of limited contacts. Disclosure of Invention The application aims to solve the problems that the content area is easy to be exposed when the document of the self-service printing equipment is temporarily stored, and the serial number and the bearing unit are in a one-to-one mapping lack, so that accurate gating cannot be performed. According to an aspect of the present application, there is provided a self-service printing apparatus for printing a document including a content area and a side serial number area, comprising: a shell provided with an observation window; The temporary storage mechanism is arranged in the shell and consists of a plurality of bearing units which are parallel to each other and are obliquely arranged relative to the horizontal plane, and each bearing unit is sequentially arranged along the normal direction of the observation window and is used for supporting document paper; when observing along the normal direction of the observation window, the bearing unit close to the observation window and the paper supported by the bearing unit form shielding on the content area of the paper on the adjacent bearing unit far away from the observation window, and the side serial number area of each paper is exposed; each bearing unit comprises a bearing plate, a holding member and conductive beads, wherein the conductive beads, the corresponding bearing plates and the holding members are arranged in the same bearing unit; when the electric contact is in contact conduction with any conductive bead, the holding member of the conductive bead corresponding to the bearing unit is switched from a holding state to a releasing state, the holding state is used for blocking the paper from sliding along the bearing plate, and the releasing state is used for releasing the paper to slide along the bearing plate. Preferably, the temporary storage mechanism is provided with a loop bus conductor arranged along the arrangement direction of the bearing units, and each conductive bead is only electrically connected with the electric actuating part of the bearing unit through an independent branch wire. When the electric contacts are respectively contacted and conducted with the head end conductive beads and the tail end conductive beads of the continuous section at the same time, a closed power supply path is established between the two ends through the loop bus conductor, so that the electric actuating parts of the bearing units in the continuous sec
