Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a passbook / slip printer.
[0002]
[Prior art]
FIG. 5 shows a conventional example of a passbook / slip printer capable of parallel processing of a passbook and slips. In this conventional example, the printer is separately provided with a passbook insertion port 5 for inserting a passbook and a slip insertion port 1 for inserting a slip 3, and the passbooks inserted from the respective insertion ports 1,5. 6 or 3 is conveyed to the printing unit 7 through an individual conveyance path and subjected to a printing process. A medium setting stopper 8 is disposed in each conveyance path, and the medium inserted into the insertion ports 1 and 5 is sucked into the printer and waits for the start of work at a position where the leading end abuts against the medium setting stopper 8.
[0003]
When the printing unit 7 requires alternate printing processing for the bankbook 6 and the slip 3, it is necessary to retreat the other medium to the corresponding conveyance path while performing processing for one medium. On the other hand, in order to achieve downsizing of the apparatus, it is effective to shorten the length of each conveyance path, and in order to shorten the slip conveyance path 2, the slip 3 being evacuated is shown in FIG. Thus, it is captured in a state where one end is exposed from the slip insertion slot 1.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the conventional example described above has the following drawbacks. First, even when the slip 3 is being printed, the slip insertion slot 1 is open, and a new slip 3 can be inserted from the slip insertion slot 1. The slip 3 collides with the slip transport path 2 and causes a jam. For example, as shown in FIG. 5B, when the slip insertion slot 1 is also used as the discharge slot of the processed slip 3, the slipped slip 3 is mistakenly removed from the processed slip 3. Sometimes.
[0005]
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described drawbacks, and an object thereof is to provide a passbook / slip printer that can effectively prevent erroneous operations.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
According to the present invention, the object is
A passbook / slip printer having a slip conveyance path 2 for holding a slip 3 during printing processing at a standby position where one end is exposed from the slip insertion slot 1;
The slip insertion port 1 has a valve member for changing the pop-out angle from the slip insertion port 1 when the slip 3 is conveyed to the standby position during the alternate printing process of the slip 3 and the passbook 6. This is achieved by providing a passbook / slip printer with 4 .
[0007]
As shown in FIG. 1, the printer includes a passbook insertion slot 5 and a slip insertion slot 1 separately, and a passbook 6 or slip 3 inserted from the corresponding insertion slot 5 or 1 is a passbook transport path 9 or slip transport. It is conveyed to the printing processing unit such as the printing unit 7 through the path 2. Since the passbook 6 and the slip 3 to be processed can be processed a plurality of times, the passbook transport path 9 and the slip transport path 2 are configured so that the corresponding medium can be captured at a predetermined standby position. Is done.
[0008]
In the present invention, since the slip 3 is captured at the standby position with one end exposed from the slip insertion slot 1, the path length of the slip transport path 2 is shortened, and the apparatus can be miniaturized .
[0010]
The valve member 4 is moved to a turning position when at least the waiting document 3 pops out from the document insertion opening 1, the direction of arrow B in FIG. 1 (b), the other words, the leading side edge of the stand-slip 3 It is guided in an angular direction different from the angle with the slip conveyance path 2 at the time of insertion. As a result, whether the operator is a suction waiting state for a document conveying path 2 documents 3 newly inserted, or to become easier to determine whether the a slip 3 waiting, accidentally slip waiting 3 Will not be removed.
[0011]
The valve member 4 can also be used as a closing member for the slip insertion slot 1. In this case, for example, a new slip 3 is operated simultaneously with being sucked into the printer. When 1 is closed by the valve member 4, erroneous insertion can be prevented at the same time. That is, as shown in FIG. 1B, when the slip 3 is being processed, the valve member 4 jumps out to a position where the valve member 4 interferes with the approach path (in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1B) of the slip 3 by normal operation. Thus, since the slip insertion slot 1 is substantially closed, a new slip 3 cannot be inserted into the slip insertion slot 1. For this reason, it can be reliably prevented that a new slip 3 is inserted by mistake during the processing of the slip 3 and the old and new slips 3 cross in the slip transport path 2 to cause a jam.
[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
FIGS. 2 to 4 show a built-in passbook / slip printer embedded in a desk. In this embodiment, a processing conveyance path 11 is formed in the top 10 of the desk, and the printing unit 7 is disposed at the end of the processing conveyance path 11. The processing conveyance path 11 is further extended rearward from the printing unit 7 to form a switchback extra path 11a. Further, a page turning device 12 and an image scanner 13 are arranged facing the processing conveyance path 11, and the page turning of the passbook 6 conveyed to the processing conveyance path 11 and the printing information of the slip 3 and the passbook 6 can be read. Done.
[0013]
The bankbook transport path 9 and the slip transport path 2 are connected to the start end of the processing transport path 11, and the start end of the passbook transport path 9 is opened to the front end surface of the top plate 10 to form a bankbook insertion slot 5. In the top plate 10, a magnetic stripe read / write device 14 is arranged facing the passbook transport path 9, and the magnetic stripe of the passbook 6 on the passbook transport path 9 is read or written. In addition, a passbook stopper 15 is disposed in the vicinity of the passbook insertion port 5 of the passbook transport path 9, and the passbook 6 from the passbook insertion port 5 is temporarily held in the passbook transport path 9 by the passbook stopper 15, and the passbook 6 is set. Then, it is attracted | sucked to the process conveyance path 11 side.
[0014]
On the other hand, the end of the slip conveyance path 2 is opened forward from the top plate 10 of the desk body to form a slip insertion slot 1, and a slip similar to the above-described passbook stopper 15 is located slightly behind the slip insertion slot 1. The stopper 16 is disposed, and the valve member 4 is disposed at a position facing the slip insertion slot 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the valve member 4 has an inclined rear wall 4 a that gradually decreases in height toward the back of the slip conveyance path 2, and completely opens the slip conveyance path 2 by the valve driving plunger magnet 17. 1c is rotated between a retracted position shown in FIG. 1C and a closed position (FIG. 1B) that closes the normal insertion path of the slip 3.
[0015]
Further, a medium discharge path 18 is formed for branching from the slip conveyance path 2 and discharging the medium after processing is completed, and the end of the medium discharge path 18 is opened to the back side to be a medium discharge port 19. . A stacker 20 for receiving a medium discharged from the medium discharge port 19 is formed on the surface of the top plate 10 in the vicinity of the medium discharge port 19.
[0016]
When there is a medium setting command from a control unit (not shown), the plunger magnet 17 for driving the valve member is turned “ON” and the valve member 4 is moved to the retracted position. When the bankbook 6 and the slip 3 are inserted from the insertion ports 5 and 1, they are once held in the transport paths 9 and 2 by the bankbook stopper 15 or the slip stopper 16. A medium detection sensor 21 is disposed slightly upstream of the bankbook stopper 15 and the slip stopper 16. When the medium detection sensor 21 detects the medium, the stopper opening magnet 22 is driven to open the stopper 16. At the same time, the pinch roller vertical drive magnet 23 is driven to move the pinch roller to the opposite conveying roller side to grip the medium, and then the conveying motor is rotated to convey each medium to the processing conveying path 11 side. In FIG. 4, only the driving portion of the stopper 16 on the slip conveyance path 2 side is shown, but the same operation is performed on the passbook conveyance path 9.
[0017]
When the slip 3 is transported to the processing transport path 11 side and the medium detection sensor 21 detects the end of the slip 3, the plunger magnet 17 for driving the valve member is turned “OFF”, and the valve member 4 returns to the closed position. When the valve member 4 is in the closed position, as described above, the slip insertion slot 1 is closed, and a new slip 3 is not erroneously inserted into the slip insertion slot 1 during processing.
[0018]
The slip 3 and the passbook 6 are transported to the processing transport path 11 according to an instruction from the control unit in accordance with a predetermined procedure, and necessary processing is performed. When the processing transport path 11 is occupied by the slip 3, the passbook 6 is stored in the passbook. It waits until it clamps in the predetermined position of the conveyance path 9, and the process conveyance path 11 is open | released. On the other hand, when the processing conveyance path 11 is occupied by the bankbook 6, the slip 3 is fed back along the slip conveyance path 2 and is clamped at a position where the rear end portion is exposed from the slip insertion slot 1. Wait until the release. As shown in FIG. 1 (b9), even when the slip 3 is retracted, the valve member 4 is in the closed position, so the slip 3 is sent obliquely upward along the inclined back wall 4a. Since the slip 3 takes a retracted posture curved upward and is significantly different from the posture in which the slip 3 is inserted from the slip insertion slot 1 in the normal state, the operator can reliably identify that the slip 3 is in the retracted state. Also, since the slip 3 being evacuated pops out to the operator side, that is, the front side, a plurality of passbooks / slip printers are arranged in a column, and the processed slip 3 is placed in the front row. Even when receiving and processing, the operator in the front row does not accidentally extract the slip 3 being saved.
