BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sheet medium batch fetching apparatus, and more particularly to fetching a plurality of sheet media inserted in a batch, separating the fetched sheet media one by one, and feeding the fed sheet media to a data reader. The present invention relates to a sheet medium batch fetching apparatus that can be applied to a sheet medium reading apparatus that reads and records information recorded on a sheet medium that has been conveyed.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In the sheet medium reading device, a sheet medium is taken one by one and conveyed to the data reading device, and a plurality of sheet media are collectively received in a bundle state, taken in, and separated one by one. There is a type that conveys to a data reader. In the type in which a plurality of sheet media are fetched at once, the batch insertion of sheet media up to a predetermined number of sheets is allowed. The number of sheets is determined from the thickness of the sheet medium and the width of the insertion slot in the medium stacking direction.
[0003]
Here, when up to a predetermined number of sheet media are collectively inserted into the insertion slot, a sensor provided on the downstream side of the insertion slot detects the insertion of the sheet medium, and a mechanism for collectively fetching the inserted sheet media is provided. Operate. This take-in mechanism is composed of a driving roller that is rotationally driven by a motor and a driven roller disposed at a position facing the driving roller across the sheet medium, and holds the bundle of inserted sheet media at a predetermined position. Capture until. When the sensor detects that the bundle of sheet media has been taken up to a predetermined position, the drive roller is stopped and the driven roller is moved away from the sheet media to complete the take-in of the sheet media. Thereafter, the sheet media taken up to a predetermined position are separated one by one and conveyed to the data reader.
[0004]
A sheet medium may curl, but if a plurality of sheets are stacked in the curled state, a bundle of sheet media swells in the medium thickness direction. In this state, when a bundle of sheet media is inserted, the take-in mechanism operates to hold the sheet media and take it in. At this time, even if the number of sheets is within the prescribed number, the sheet medium bundle may swell and friction at the insertion port increases, and the sheet medium loading by the loading mechanism may not function well. That is, when such a sheet medium is collectively inserted into the insertion slot, the take-in mechanism operates based on the detection of the insertion of the sheet medium, and starts the operation of taking the sheet medium to a predetermined position. It may happen that the predetermined position is not taken in due to friction with the insertion port. As described above, when the loading up to a predetermined position is not detected even after a predetermined time has elapsed since the detection of the insertion of the sheet medium, the reception of the inserted sheet medium is stopped and returned. At this time, the sheet motor inserted by pushing the drive motor of the take-in mechanism in reverse is pushed out to the insertion port side. In addition, in order to increase the pushing force, the return roller applies pressure to the sheet medium, and the inserted sheet medium is more reliably returned.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the batch loading device in the conventional sheet medium reading apparatus as described above, the number of sheet media that can be inserted into the insertion slot is determined, but this is the number determined in anticipation of some margin. If unreasonable, more than the prescribed number of sheet media can be pushed into the insertion slot. In such a case, the batch take-in device tries to take the sheet medium pushed into the insertion slot to a predetermined position, but the sheet medium pushed forcibly cannot be taken in. The sheet medium return operation is started. However, the sheet medium that is not taken up to a predetermined position because it is forcibly pushed into the insertion slot is not always returned normally even in the return operation, and the sheet medium reading device remains caught in the insertion slot. There was a problem that stopped abnormally.
[0006]
The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and provides a batch capturing device that can reliably return such a sheet medium even when a predetermined number or more of the sheet media are batch-inserted. For the purpose.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In the present invention, in order to solve the above-described problem, in a batch loading apparatus for sheet media that can batch load a plurality of sheet media in a stacked state, Return means for collectively returning the sheet medium in a stacked state; plural Said Insertion number limiting means arranged so as to protrude into or retract from the sheet medium passage into which the sheet medium is inserted When, With The insertion number limiting means is retracted from the sheet medium path during the return operation by the return means. A batch sheet taking-in device for a sheet medium is provided.
[0008]
According to such a sheet medium batch fetching apparatus, during normal operation, the insertion number limiting means limits the number of sheet media that can be positioned in the sheet medium path and can pass through the sheet medium path. During the return operation for returning the sheet medium that has passed through the restriction means, the insertion number restriction means is retracted from the sheet medium passage. As a result, the sheet medium path that has been limited by the number-of-insertion-number limiting means is widened, and the sheet medium can easily pass, so that the load during the return operation is reduced and the sheet medium can be reliably returned.
[0009]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a side view of a batch capturing device according to the present invention, where (A) shows a state during normal operation, (B) shows a state during return operation, and (C) shows completion of capturing. It shows the state of the hour. The batch fetching apparatus according to the present invention is installed at the sheet medium insertion port of the sheet medium reading apparatus, and on the downstream side thereof, a conveying unit that conveys the inserted sheet medium to a predetermined position, at the predetermined position. product layer A separation unit for separating the separated sheet medium and a data reader for reading information on the separated sheet medium are installed.
[0010]
As shown in FIG. 1A, the sheet medium insertion slot 1 is composed of an upper guide 2a and a lower guide 2b, which are integrally formed of resin, for example. The opening portion of the sheet medium insertion port 1 has an opening dimension that allows the sheet medium to be collectively inserted in a state where a predetermined number of sheet media are stacked, and the height in the sheet medium thickness direction is h1. Further, a shutter member 4 that can be inserted into and removed from the sheet medium passage 3 communicating with the sheet medium insertion port 1 is provided. The shutter member 4 is fixed to one end of a shutter link 5, and the shutter link 5 is pivotally supported by a rotating shaft 6 at a substantially central portion thereof. As a result, the shutter member 4 is inserted into the sheet medium path 3, blocked by the sheet medium path 3, or retracted from the sheet medium path 3 when the shutter link 5 rotates about the rotation shaft 6. You can do it.
[0011]
Thus, when the shutter member 4 is swingably supported by the shutter link 5, the shutter member 4 is in a position protruding into the sheet medium path 3 as shown in FIG. The height in the thickness direction of the sheet medium is h2 (<h1), which substantially limits the number of sheets that can be inserted. On the other hand, when the shutter member 4 is retracted from the sheet medium passage 3 as shown in (B), the height in the sheet medium thickness direction is the same as the height h1 of the opening of the sheet medium insertion slot 1. Thus, the return path of the theta medium inserted through the height restriction by the shutter member 4 is substantially expanded. When the sheet medium is inserted through the height restriction by the shutter member 4 and then normally taken up to a predetermined position in a bundled state by a conveyance unit (not shown), the shutter member 4 is as shown in (C). The sheet medium passage 3 is blocked. This state is for preventing the insertion of the next sheet medium until the operation of separating the sheet media normally taken one by one and transporting them to a data reading device (not shown) is completed. When the separation is completed, the shutter member 4 is returned to the position shown in FIG.
[0012]
The operation of the shutter member 4 that also has a function of limiting the height of the sheet medium passage 3 can be interlocked with the return operation of the inserted sheet medium. Next, the mechanism will be described.
[0013]
On the downstream side of the upper guide 2a and the lower guide 2b constituting the sheet medium insertion port 1, a conveyance unit (not shown) for taking the bundled sheet medium that has passed through the sheet medium passage 3 to a predetermined position for separation. Is provided. The conveying unit can return the sheet medium to the sheet medium insertion slot 1 by reversing the conveying operation. At this time, in order to ensure the return operation, a return roller 7 that applies pressure to the sheet medium in the stacking direction is provided.
[0014]
The return roller 7 is held at one end of a return roller holder 8, and the other end of the return roller holder 8 is pivotally supported with a rotating shaft 9 as a fulcrum. The return roller holder 8 is provided with a notch 10, and a shutter stopper 11 that engages with the notch 10 is provided at the other end of the shutter link 5. At this time, the shutter link 5 is biased so as to rotate counterclockwise with the rotation shaft 6 as a fulcrum. Further, a stopper 12 is provided for restricting the clockwise rotation of the return roller holder 8 with the rotation shaft 9 as a fulcrum. This stopper 12 can move in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing.
[0015]
First, when in a standby state in which a sheet medium can be received, the return roller holder 8 is fixed at a position shown in the figure by a stopper 12 as shown in FIG. At this time, the shutter stopper 11 is locked to the notch 10 of the return roller holder 8, whereby the shutter link 5 is restricted from rotating counterclockwise, and the shutter member 4 is positioned at the height of the sheet medium path 3. It is fixed at the position that limits the height.
[0016]
In this state, when a sheet medium is inserted from the sheet medium insertion port 1, a sensor (not shown) detects the insertion of the sheet medium, and a conveyance unit (not shown) operates to take the inserted sheet medium to a predetermined position. When another sensor (not shown) detects that the sheet medium has been normally conveyed to a predetermined position, the shutter link 5 is rotated clockwise around the rotation shaft 6 and the shutter member is in a position where the shutter member blocks the sheet medium passage 3. It stops and enters the state shown in (C). When the sheet medium separating operation at the predetermined position is completed, the state shown in FIG.
[0017]
Even if the sheet medium is inserted from the sheet medium insertion port 1 and the conveying unit starts the conveying operation, if the loading of the sheet medium to a predetermined position is not detected even after a predetermined time has elapsed, It is determined that it has failed, and the return operation is started. In this return operation, first, the stopper 12 is retracted in the downward direction in the drawing, the return roller holder 8 rotates clockwise around the rotation shaft 9, and the return roller 7 cooperates with the transport unit. The operation of returning the sheet medium to the sheet medium insertion slot 1 is started. At this time, the notch 10 is also rotated by the rotational movement of the return roller holder 8, but the shutter stopper 11 locked to the notch 10 is also moved following the movement. As a result, the shutter link 5 rotates counterclockwise with the rotation shaft 6 as a fulcrum, and the shutter member 4 is retracted from the sheet medium path 3 of the sheet medium insertion slot 1 and is as shown in FIG. It becomes a state. Thereby, the height of the sheet medium passage 3 is substantially increased, and the sheet medium is easily passed.
[0018]
Therefore, even if a return operation occurs due to forcibly inserting more sheet media than the prescribed number of sheets limited by the shutter member 4, the sheet medium passage 3 expands when returning, so the sheet medium return operation is performed. This can be done more reliably.
[0019]
FIGS. 2A and 2B are side views showing a second embodiment of the batch capturing device, in which FIG. 2A shows a state during normal operation, FIG. 2B shows a state during return operation, and FIG. Shows the state when completed. In the second embodiment, the number of inserted sheet media is limited by inserting a rotary shutter member 21 into the sheet media path 3 surrounded by the upper guide 2a and the lower guide 2b. That is, the shutter member 21 is rotatably supported by the rotation shaft 22, and a pulley 23 coaxial with the rotation shaft 22 is fixed to the shutter member 21. A belt 26 is stretched between the pulley 23 and a motor 24 via a roller 25. Further, stoppers 27 a and 27 b for preventing the rotation of the shutter member 21 are provided adjacent to the shutter member 21. The stoppers 27a and 27b can permit or prohibit the rotation of the shutter member 21, for example, by moving in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing.
[0020]
The shutter member 21 has different lengths from the center of rotation of the rotary shaft 22 to both ends, and one of the shutter members 21 has a length sufficient to obtain the amount of projection into the sheet medium passage 3 necessary to limit the number of sheet media inserted. On the other hand, the length is such that the sheet medium passage 3 can be completely blocked.
[0021]
Thus, when the shutter member 21 is supported on the rotary shaft 22 so as to be rotationally driven, when the shutter member 21 is in a position protruding into the sheet medium passage 3 as shown in FIG. The height in the sheet medium thickness direction is h1 to h2 of the sheet medium insertion slot 1, and the number of sheets into which the sheet medium can be inserted is substantially limited. Therefore, when a sheet medium is inserted from the sheet medium insertion port 1 in this sheet medium receiving standby state, a sensor (not shown) detects the insertion of the sheet medium, and a conveyance unit (not shown) operates to remove the inserted sheet medium. It takes in to a predetermined position.
[0022]
When another sensor (not shown) detects that the sheet medium has not been properly conveyed to a predetermined position, the stoppers 27a and 27b are first moved in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing to fix the shutter member 21. After the state is released, the motor 24 rotates counterclockwise, the shutter member 21 rotates counterclockwise, for example, 90 degrees, and retracts the leading end portion, which has limited the number of sheets inserted, from the sheet medium passage 3 (B ). As a result, the height of the sheet medium passage 3 in the sheet medium thickness direction extends to the height h1 of the sheet medium insertion port 1, so that the load when returning the sheet medium is reduced and the sheet medium can be reliably returned.
[0023]
Further, when another sensor (not shown) detects that the sheet medium has been normally conveyed to a predetermined position, first, the stoppers 27a and 27b are moved in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing to release the shutter member 21. After the fixed state is released, the motor 24 rotates counterclockwise, the shutter member 21 rotates, for example, 180 degrees counterclockwise, and the shutter member 21 is fixed again by the stoppers 27a and 27b. As a result, the sheet medium passage 3 is completely closed as shown in (C), and after the acceptance of the subsequent new sheet medium is prohibited, the sheet medium passage 3 is separated from the sheet medium normally conveyed to a predetermined position. enter. When the separation operation of the sheet medium at the predetermined position is completed, the shutter member 21 is released from the fixed state by the stoppers 27a and 27b, and the shutter member 21 is rotated 180 degrees counterclockwise, and the stoppers 27a and 27b are released. Thus, the shutter member 21 is fixed and the state shown in FIG.
[0024]
FIGS. 3A and 3B are side views showing a third embodiment of the batch capturing device, in which FIG. 3A shows a state during normal operation, and FIG. 3B shows a state during return operation. In the third embodiment, the number of sheets inserted is limited by changing the height of the sheet medium passage 3 in the sheet medium thickness direction by making the upper guide constituting the sheet medium insertion slot 1 movable. I have to.
[0025]
The batch capturing device includes an upper movable guide 31, a lower fixed guide 32, a motor 33 that drives the upper movable guide 31, and a belt 34, a pulley 35, and a roller 36 that transmit the driving force of the motor 33 to the upper movable guide 31. The connecting plate 37 and the rotary shaft 38, and stoppers 39a and 39b for fixing the upper movable guide 31 in the normal operation state. The upper movable guide 31, the connecting plate 37, and the pulley 35 are fixed to each other and can be rotated by the driving force of the motor 33 with the rotating shaft 38 as a fulcrum. The stoppers 39a and 39b can move in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing, and the upper movable guide 31 can be fixed or released.
[0026]
First, in the sheet medium receiving standby state, the distance between the lower end edge of the upper movable guide 31 and the rotation center of the rotary shaft 38 is d1 as shown in FIG. The distance from the upper edge of the lower fixed guide 32, that is, the height of the sheet medium passage 3 in the sheet medium thickness direction is h1.
[0027]
Here, when a plurality of sheet media inserted from the sheet media insertion slot 1 cannot be normally taken up to a predetermined position, the stoppers 39a and 39b move in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing. Then, the upper movable guide 31 is released, and the motor 33 is rotated clockwise to rotate the upper movable guide 31 to the position shown in FIG. At this time, the distance between the lower end edge of the upper movable guide 31 and the rotation center of the rotary shaft 38 is d2, and the height of the sheet medium passage 3 in the sheet medium thickness direction is h2. Since the distance d2 between the lower edge of the upper movable guide 31 and the rotation center of the rotary shaft 38 is shorter than the distance d1 in the normal operation state, the height of the sheet medium passage 3 is equal to the difference between these distances. h2 is larger than the height h1 in the normal operation state where the number of sheets is limited. As a result, during the sheet medium return operation, the load that the transport unit sends out to the sheet medium insertion port 1 is reduced, and the sheet medium can be returned smoothly.
[0028]
FIGS. 4A and 4B are side views showing a fourth embodiment of the batch capturing device, where FIG. 4A shows a state during normal operation, and FIG. 4B shows a state during return operation. In the fourth embodiment, the number of sheets inserted into the sheet medium is limited by changing the height of the sheet medium passage 3 in the sheet medium thickness direction by making the lower guide constituting the sheet medium insertion slot 1 movable. I am doing so.
[0029]
This batch capturing device is the same as the basic components of the third embodiment, and includes an upper fixed guide 41, a lower movable guide 42, a motor 33 that drives the lower movable guide 42, and a motor. Belt 34, pulley 35, roller 36, connecting plate 37 and rotating shaft 38 for transmitting the driving force of 33 to the lower movable guide 42; and stoppers 39a, 39b for fixing the lower movable guide 42 in the normal operation state; It is composed of The lower movable guide 42, the connecting plate 37, and the pulley 35 are fixed to each other, and can be rotated by the driving force of the motor 33 with the rotating shaft 38 as a fulcrum. Further, the stoppers 39a and 39b can move in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing, and the lower movable guide 42 can be fixed or released.
[0030]
First, in the sheet medium receiving standby state, as shown in (A), the distance between the upper edge of the lower movable guide 42 and the rotation center of the rotation shaft 38 is d1, and the sheet medium in the sheet medium passage 3 The height in the thickness direction is h1.
[0031]
Here, when a plurality of sheet media inserted from the sheet media insertion slot 1 cannot be normally taken up to a predetermined position, the stoppers 39a and 39b move in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing. Then, the lower movable guide 42 is released, and the motor 33 is rotated counterclockwise to rotate the lower movable guide 42 to the position shown in FIG. At this time, the distance between the upper end edge of the lower movable guide 42 and the rotation center of the rotary shaft 38 is d2, and the height of the sheet medium passage 3 in the sheet medium thickness direction is h2. Since the distance d2 between the upper end edge of the lower movable guide 42 and the rotation center of the rotary shaft 38 is shorter than the distance d1 in the normal operation state, the height of the sheet medium passage 3 is increased by the difference between these distances. The height h2 is larger than the height h1 in the normal operation state where the number of sheets is limited. As a result, during the sheet medium return operation, the load that the transport unit sends out to the sheet medium insertion port 1 is reduced, and the sheet medium can be returned smoothly.
[0032]
FIGS. 5A and 5B are side views showing a fifth embodiment of the batch capturing device, in which FIG. 5A shows a state during normal operation, and FIG. 5B shows a state during return operation. In the fifth embodiment, the upper and lower guides constituting the sheet medium insertion opening 1 are movable, and the height of the sheet medium passage 3 in the sheet medium thickness direction is changed to limit the number of sheet media inserted. I have to.
[0033]
This batch capturing device is a combination of the configuration of the third embodiment and the configuration of the fourth embodiment. The upper movable guide 51 is fixed to the pulley 52 and the connecting plate 53, and is provided so as to be rotatable about the rotation shaft 54 as a fulcrum. A motor 55 is provided adjacent thereto, and a belt 57 is stretched between the motor 55 and the pulley 52 via a roller 56. Further, stoppers 58a and 58b for fixing and releasing the rotation of the upper movable guide 51 are provided so as to move in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing. Similarly, the lower movable guide 61 is fixed to the pulley 62 and the connecting plate 63, and is provided so as to be rotatable about the rotating shaft 64. A belt 67 is stretched between the pulley 62 and the pulley 65 disposed adjacent thereto via a roller 66, and a gear 68 is interposed between the pulley 65 and the motor 55. a, 68b Is provided. Further, stoppers 69a and 69b for fixing and releasing the rotational movement of the lower movable guide 61 are provided so as to move in conjunction with the stoppers 58a and 58b in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing.
[0034]
Here, in the sheet medium receiving standby state shown in (A), the lower movable guide 61 having a distance d1 from the lower end edge of the upper movable guide 51 having a distance d1 from the rotation center of the rotation shaft 54 and the rotation center of the rotation shaft 64. The upper edge of the sheet medium constitutes the sheet medium passage 3 of the sheet medium insertion slot 1. At this time, the height in the sheet thickness direction of the sheet medium passage 3 at the sheet medium insertion port 1 is h1, thereby limiting the number of sheet media inserted from the sheet medium insertion port 1.
[0035]
Here, when a plurality of sheet media inserted from the sheet media insertion slot 1 cannot be normally taken up to a predetermined position, the stoppers 58a, 58b, 69a, 69b are perpendicular to the plane of the drawing. The upper movable guide 51 and the lower movable guide 61 are released from the fixed state, and the motor 55 is driven to rotate clockwise. As a result, the upper movable guide 51 is driven to rotate clockwise about the rotation shaft 54 as a fulcrum. At the same time, a gear 68 connected to the motor 55 a Is rotated counterclockwise, The gear 68b is rotated clockwise, and Pulley 65 Anti Since the lower movable guide 61 is rotated in the clockwise direction, the lower movable guide 61 is rotationally driven in the counterclockwise direction with the rotation shaft 64 as a fulcrum.
[0036]
As described above, the upper movable guide 51 and the lower movable guide 61 are simultaneously rotated and moved to the return position shown in FIG. At this time, the lower edge of the upper movable guide 51 constituting the sheet medium passage 3 of the sheet medium insertion port 1 changes to d2 whose distance from the rotation center of the rotation shaft 54 is shorter than d1 in the normal operation state. Similarly, the upper end edge of the side movable guide 61 changes to a distance d2 that is shorter than the distance d1 in the normal operation state. Accordingly, the height h2 in the sheet thickness direction of the sheet medium passage 3 at the sheet medium insertion opening 1 at this time is larger than the height h1 in the normal operation state where the number of sheets is limited. This amount of spread is twice that of the third embodiment or the fourth embodiment. As a result, during the sheet medium return operation, the load that the transport unit sends out to the sheet medium insertion port 1 is reduced, and the sheet medium can be returned smoothly.
[0037]
The above-mentioned sheet medium can be, for example, a winning ballot ticket in horse racing, a winning ballot ticket in a bicycle race, a lottery ticket for a lottery ticket, an amusement park, a theme park, an admission ticket at an exhibition, etc. The take-in device can be applied to a voting ticket slot of an automatic refund machine in horse racing and bicycle racing, and can be applied to a device for checking a winning ticket in the case of a lottery ticket. It can be applied to ticket gates for group entrance.
[0038]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, the sheet medium insertion opening that can take in a plurality of sheet media at a time is more open than the normal operation state during the return operation for returning the inserted sheet medium. The part was configured to be larger. As a result, when the number of sheet media is forcibly inserted beyond the predetermined number, it cannot be taken into the apparatus, and a return operation occurs. Will be reduced and will be able to be returned reliably.
