Description

  The present invention relates to a device that issues a passbook, a transfer book, and other booklet-like print media (hereinafter referred to as “passbook”), and particularly to a device that has a mechanism for dealing with the expansion of the passbook.

  FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of a bankbook processor A incorporating a conventional bankbook issuing apparatus B. When the passbook processor A detects the passbook inserted in a spread state in the passbook insertion port 1 provided in the front end portion by the insertion sensor 2, the detection signal is input to the control unit 3, whereby the control unit 3 is a motor. 41, a plurality of conveying rollers 42, and a conveying unit 4 including a transmission belt 43 that transmits the rotational force of the motor 41 to the conveying rollers 42 is driven, and the inserted passbook is conveyed into the inside of the book processor A, while magnetic The magnetic information recorded in the passbook is read by the head 5, the character information written in the passbook is read by the optical reading unit 6, the read information is transferred to a host device (not shown), Direction, that is, with respect to the bankbook transported in the direction of the bankbook insertion slot 1, based on the updated information received from the host device, the print head 7 is driven to print a predetermined content on the bankbook. Then, it is discharged again to the passbook insertion slot 1.

  As a result of reading by the reading unit 6, when the page turning is necessary to print the updated information, the passbook that has passed through the reading unit 6 is conveyed to the page turning device C provided on the right side of FIG. After being turned to a predetermined page by the page turning device C, it may be conveyed in the reverse direction, printed by the print head 7 and magnetically recorded by the magnetic head 5, and then discharged to the passbook insertion slot 1.

  The bankbook issuing device B issues and issues a new bankbook one by one each time a bankbook issuing command is input from the control unit 3, and a plurality of bankbooks N are supplied to the cartridge 8 provided in the bankbook processor A. , The lowest passbook is fed out by the feeding means 9, and sent out to the transport path by a feeding roller 42 ′ provided near the feeding port of the cartridge 8. The feeding means 9 winds a belt 92 around a pair of pulleys 91 arranged below the cartridge 8 at intervals in the passbook payout direction, and is engaged with the belt 92 at the rear end of the lowest passbook. The formed feeding claw 93 is attached, and the rotational force of the reversible motor 94 is transmitted to any pulley 91.

  By the way, the passbook often swells in a natural state. Even when the bankbook is loaded in the cartridge 8, the swelling remains as shown in FIG. 5, so that the rear end of the lowest bankbook N may be inclined at various angles θ1 with respect to the bottom surface 81 of the cartridge 8. . Therefore, even if a feeding force is applied by the feeding means 9 using the feeding claw 93, the feeding may not be performed smoothly. In order to prevent this, conventionally, a weight is placed on the stacked bankbook, or the bankbook N is pressed through the pressing plate 11 with a spring 10 provided in the cartridge 8 as illustrated in FIG. Thus, a mechanism for dealing with the swelling of the bankbook N in the cartridge 8 is provided.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-157085 JP-A-5-225424

  However, the conventional passbook issuing apparatus has the following two problems. One of them is that the mechanism for dealing with the expansion of the bankbook is a mechanism in which a bankbook pressing mechanism such as a weight or a spring 10 is provided in the cartridge, so that the size of the cartridge 8 is increased.

  Another problem is that the lowest passbook N is not delivered. The cause of this is that, as shown in FIG. 6, the feeding claw 93 that constitutes the conventional bankbook feeding means 9 includes a fixing portion 93a that is fixed to the belt 92, a flat portion 93b that rises obliquely from the belt 92, and a flat portion thereof. A flange portion 93c provided at the end of 93b is integrally formed, and the inclination angle θ2 of the flat portion 93b with respect to the upper surface of the bottom plate 81 of the cartridge 8 causes the belt 92 to move forward from the rear end portion of the bankbook. Sometimes, the rear end portion of the lowest bankbook N is set to contact the flat portion 93b, and the rear end portion of the lowermost bankbook N that contacts the flat portion 93b is locked. The angle with respect to the flat part 93b of the collar part 93c is set to a substantially right angle (85 to 90 degrees) so that the feeding force is given, and the standing height h from the flat part 93b of the collar part 93c is the thickness of the stitches of the passbook. Approximately equal height, eg 1 It is set to 0.0 to 2.5 mm.

  When the bulge of the lowest passbook N is within the allowable range, that is, as shown in FIG. 6, the inclination angle θ1 with respect to the upper surface of the bottom plate 81 of the cartridge 8 at the rear end of the lowest passbook N is the flat portion 93b. When the inclination angle θ2 with respect to the upper surface of the bottom plate 81 of the cartridge 8 is within, the collar portion 93c locks the rear end of the lowest bankbook N to give a feeding force, so that the lowest bankbook N is surely It is paid out.

  However, since the conventional feeding claw 93 is integrally formed from the fixing portion 93a to the flange portion 93c and fixed to the belt 92, and the inclination angle θ2 of the flat portion 93b is always constant, as shown in FIG. When the bulge of the rear end portion of the lower passbook N is larger than the standing height h of the collar portion 93c and is slightly rounded, that is, the upper surface of the bottom plate 81 of the cartridge 8 at the rear end portion of the lowermost passbook N Is larger than the inclination angle θ2 of the flat portion 93b with respect to the upper surface of the bottom plate 81 of the cartridge 8, the rear end portion of the passbook N escapes without being locked to the flange portion 93c. Therefore, a case where the lowest bankbook N is not drawn out occurs.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and provides a passbook issuing apparatus that does not require an increase in the size of a cartridge, and that can handle a bulge skillfully and pay out it reliably. For the purpose.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention uses a motor as a power source of a passbook payout mechanism, rotates as a passbook pressing mechanism around a rotation shaft at one end, and presses the upper surface of the passbook loaded on the cartridge. A basic configuration of a passbook issuing device using a pressing lever, and having a friction clutch (torque limiter: trademark) whose input side is mechanically coupled to the motor and whose output side is mechanically coupled to the rotating shaft of the pressing lever. Added improvements .

That is, according to the present invention, in the above basic configuration, the passbook payout mechanism is fixed to the endless belt, which is wound around the motor and a pair of pulleys, and is rotated in one direction by the motor. And a delivery claw for feeding out the lowest passbook in the passbook loaded on the passbook, and the passbook pressing mechanism has one end fixed to the final rotating body and the rotation shaft of the final rotating body, and the other end to the cartridge. It consists of a pressing lever that is in contact with the plate placed on the top surface of the uppermost bankbook, and the input side of the torque limiter is mechanically coupled to the rotating shaft of the motor. The output side of the torque limiter is mechanically coupled to the rotating shaft of the final rotating body.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the feeding claw is provided with a fixed portion fixed to the belt, a movable portion rotatably coupled to a rear end portion of the fixed portion, and the movable portion having a certain inclination. The movable part is composed of a flat part that rises at a fixed inclination angle with respect to the upper surface of the bottom plate of the cartridge, and a passbook binding line at the end of the flat part. It is characterized by integrally having a flange portion having a height substantially equal to the thickness and standing at an acute angle with respect to the flat portion.

Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an upward recess is formed between the flat portion and the collar portion of the movable portion.

  According to the present invention, the bankbook payout mechanism and the bankbook pressing mechanism share one motor, and the bankbook pressing mechanism drives the pressing lever that presses the bankbook loaded on the cartridge by the motor via the torque limiter. Therefore, the cartridge does not require a large size, the configuration of the passbook issuing device is simple, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  As illustrated in FIG. 1, the passbook issuing apparatus B according to the present embodiment has a cartridge 100 that is detachably or fixedly attached at a predetermined position. The cartridge 100 has at least a bottom plate 101, a front plate 102, and left and right side plates 103. The rear surface and the top surface are opened, and the cartridge 100 is formed in a box shape in which a plurality of passbooks N can be loaded. ing. The rear surface may be closed, and the upper surface may be attached such that the key cover can be opened and closed at a fulcrum.

[Passbook payout mechanism]
The bottom plate 101 of the cartridge 100 is formed with a slit 104 that is continuous at a center in the width direction from the rear end to the front end over a predetermined length. In addition, a passbook feeding port 105 is formed at the lower end of the front plate 102. The height of the passbook delivery port 105 from the bottom plate 101 is set to be more than 1 times the thickness of the passbook N and less than 2 times in order to limit the number of passbooks fed out at one time.

  The predetermined length of the slit 104 refers to the front end of the lowest passbook, which is provided in front of the passbook delivery port 105 among the passbooks in which the feed pawl 110 is accommodated in the cartridge 100 when the endless belt 109 is rotated in one direction. This length is necessary for moving to a position where the delivery force by a delivery roller 42 'is received.

  A plate 106 is placed on the upper surface of the bankbook N loaded in the cartridge 100. The plate 106 is a flat plate in order to uniformly distribute the pressing force of the pressing lever 122 described later over the entire upper surface of the uppermost bankbook N.

  On the lower side of the slit 104 of the cartridge 100, there is no end between a pair of pulleys 107 and 108 provided at a position behind the rear end portion of the cartridge 100 and a position ahead of the front end portion of the slit 104. A belt (hereinafter simply referred to as “belt”) 109 is wound around. A feeding claw 110 is fixed to a predetermined position of the upper portion 109U of the belt 109.

  The belt 109 is rotationally driven by a reversible motor 111 provided in the vicinity of the pulley 107. More specifically, a gear 113 is fixed to the rotating shaft 112 of the reversible motor 111, the gear 113 is meshed with the gear 114, and the small gear 116 fixed to the rotating shaft 115 of the gear 114 is connected to the rotating shaft of the pulley 107. A fixed gear 117 is engaged.

  The reversible motor 111, the transmission gears 113, 114, 116, 117, the pair of pulleys 107, 108, the belt 109 and the feeding pawl 110 constitute a passbook feeding mechanism B1.

  When the belt 109 is rotated by a reversible motor 111 in a predetermined direction, in a counterclockwise direction in FIG. 1, by a predetermined angle, the feeding claw 110 enters from the initial position behind the slit 104 in an upright state inside the cartridge 100, Among the passbooks N loaded in the cartridge 100, the rear end of the lowest passbook N is pushed to pass through the passbook N from the passout delivery port 105 and moved to the front end of the slit 104, and then the reverse rotation of the reversible motor 111 is performed. To return to the initial position.

  Each time the controller 3 (see FIG. 4) of the passbook processor A issues one passbook N from the cartridge 100, the reversible motor 111 rotates forward (counterclockwise in FIG. 1) and reverse (reverse clockwise rotation in FIG. 1). In the clockwise direction). As shown in FIG. 1, the feeding claw 110 is held at an initial position behind the slit 104 of the cartridge 100 before issuing the passbook. When the control unit 3 issues a passbook issuing command, the reversible motor 111 is rotated forward by a predetermined angle, so that the belt 109 is rotated by a predetermined angle so that the feeding claw 110 moves from the initial position behind the slit 104 through the slit 104. By moving to the front end portion of the slit 104, only the lowest passbook is fed out from the feeding port 105. The passbook N fed out from the feedout port 105 is fed into the conveyance path of the passbook processor A by a feed roller 42 ′ provided near the front of the feedout port 105.

  When the reversible motor 111 is normally rotated to a predetermined angle, the reversible motor 111 is subsequently reversely rotated to a predetermined angle. When the feeding pawl 110 is returned to the initial position, the reverse rotation is stopped and the next passbook issuing command is awaited.

[Passbook pressing mechanism]
A gear 118 is meshed with the gear 114. The gear 118 is meshed with the input side of the torque limiter 119, and the final gear 120 is meshed with the output side of the torque limiter 119. The gear 120 is provided above the rear end of the cartridge 100, and one end of a pressing lever 122 is fixed to the rotating shaft 121 of the gear 120. The pressing lever 122 is provided on the upper side of the pressing plate 106 placed on the upper surface of the bankbook N stacked in the cartridge 100 so as to be rotated around the rotation shaft 121. The pressing lever 122 is provided on the upper side of the center line in the width direction of the pressing plate 106 in order to apply a pressing force to the pressing plate 106 in a balanced manner.

  The motor 111, the transmission gears 113, 114, 118, the torque limiter 119, the gear 120, and the pressing lever 122 constitute a passbook pressing mechanism B2.

  Since the rotational force of the motor 111 is transmitted to the gear 120 via the transmission gears 113, 114, 118 and the torque limiter 119 while the bankbook N is fed from the cartridge 100 as described above by the bankbook feeding mechanism B 1, The tip of the pressing lever 122 presses the plate 106. Therefore, the swelling of the passbook N is crushed, and the passbook N is flat. Therefore, the lowest passbook N can be smoothly drawn out from the payout port 105.

  The torque limiter 119 transmits the rotational force of the motor 111 as it is to the gear 120 until the tip of the pressing lever 122 hits the pressing plate 106. However, after the tip of the pressing lever 122 hits the pressing plate 106, the torque limiter 119 A rubbing motion is performed by the rotational force from 118 and the reaction force from the gear 120, and the pressing force of the pressing lever 122 is kept constant. Moreover, all the components from the motor 111 to the pressing lever 122 are protected from destruction.

  When the passbook N is replenished in the cartridge 100, the reversible motor 111 is rotated reversely by a predetermined angle, and when it is detected by a pressure lever sensor (not shown) that the pressure lever 122 is moved upright, the reversible motor is detected. If the reverse rotation of 111 is automatically stopped, the passbook can be easily replenished without the pressing lever 122 becoming an obstacle.

[Preferred structure of feeding claw]
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the feeding claw 110 is configured as follows. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the feeding claw 110 is an example of a fixing portion 110a that is fixed to a part of the upper portion 109U of the belt 109 by, for example, screwing, and a rear end portion of the fixing portion 110a. And a movable part 110c rotatably coupled by a pin 110b and the like, a part of which is fixed to the belt 109 together with the fixed part 110a, and the remaining part is brought into contact with the lower surface of the movable part 110c. And an urging member for urging so as to maintain a predetermined inclination angle, for example, a leaf spring 110d.

  And the movable part 110c has integrally the flat part 110c1 which exists in the fixed part 110a side, and the collar part 110c2 provided in the front-end | tip of the flat part 110c1. The flat portion 110 c 1 has a predetermined inclination angle with respect to the upper surface of the bottom plate 101 of the cartridge 100. The collar portion 110c2 stands with an acute angle with respect to the upper surface of the flat portion 110c1. The standing height of the collar portion 110c2 from the upper surface of the flat portion 110c1 is substantially equal to the average thickness of the stitches of the passbook, for example, 1.0 to 2.5 mm. In addition, the movable portion 110c has a recess 110c3 that opens on the upper surface between the flat portion 110c1 and the flange portion 110c2.

  Due to the above-described structure of the feeding claw 110, the flat portion 110c1 of the movable portion 110c of the feeding claw 110 is biased upward by the leaf spring 110d, so that the belt 109 rotates in the feeding direction (leftward in FIG. 1-3). In this case, when the swell of the bankbook N at that time is a small amount as usual and the inclination angle θ1 with respect to the upper surface of the bottom plate 101 of the cartridge 100 at the rear end of the bankbook N is small, the feeding claw 110 is movable. The inclination angle θa of the flat part 110c1 of the part 110c with respect to the upper surface of the bottom plate 101 of the cartridge 100 is maintained at the inclination angle θ1. Therefore, since the collar portion 110c2 locks the rear end portion of the lowest bankbook N and applies a feeding force, the lowest bankbook N is reliably fed out.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, since the lowest passbook N has a large bulge and is round in the vicinity of the stitches, the inclination angle θ1 of the rear end of the passbook N with respect to the upper surface of the bottom plate 101 of the cartridge 100 is When large, the movable portion 110c biased upward by the leaf spring 110d of the feeding claw 110 rotates around the pin 110b until the flat portion 110c1 hits the rear end portion of the bankbook N and stops. That is, the inclination angle θa of the flat part 110c1 of the movable part 110c of the feeding claw 110 with respect to the upper surface of the bottom plate 101 of the cartridge 100 is equal to the inclination angle θ1. Therefore, since the collar portion 110c2 locks the rear end portion of the lowest bankbook N and applies a feeding force, the lowest bankbook N is reliably fed out.

  When the flat portion 110c1 of the feeding claw 110 hits the rear end portion of the passbook N, the leaf spring 110d bends downward, and then the rear end portion of the lowest passbook N hits the hook portion 110c2. When the standing angle of 110c2 with respect to the upper surface of the flat portion 110c1 is in the range of 85 to 90 degrees as in a conventional feeding claw, the rear end portion of the passbook N may escape without being captured by the collar portion 110c2. However, in the present invention, even when the leaf spring 110d is bent downward, the standing angle with respect to the upper surface of the flat portion 110c1 of the collar portion 110c2 is an acute angle, for example, so that the rear end portion of the passbook N does not escape from the collar portion 83c. It is set to 70 ± 10 degrees.

  The depression 110c3 between the flat part 110c1 and the collar part 110c2 of the movable part 110c is not necessary. However, when the depression 110c3 is provided, as shown in FIG. Even when there is a roundness in the vicinity of the stitches, the rear end portion of the bankbook N is bitten into the recess 110c3, so that escape can be prevented more reliably.

  When the standing angle of the collar portion 110c2 with respect to the upper surface of the flat portion 110c1 is an acute angle, the rear end portion of the passbook N is unlikely to escape from the collar portion 110c2, and a feeding force is more reliably applied.

As another embodiment, the belt 109 is moved only in the forward direction instead of rotating the belt 109 in the forward and backward directions within a predetermined angle range by the reversible motor 111 to reciprocate the feeding pawl 110 in the slit 104 . Each time it is rotated, the feeding claw 110 may be moved in one direction along the slit 104 to feed out one passbook.

  Further, the configuration for transmitting the rotational force of the motor 111 to the rotating shaft 120 via the torque limiter 119 is not limited to the illustrated example. It can be provided at any position in the transmission system between the motor 111 and the rotating shaft 120.
