The check processing device 100 includes a mechanism that partially opens and closes with the sheet transport path 7 as a boundary in order to clean the inside of the device and take out the sheet S from the sheet transport path 7 when a paper jam occurs. A main body unit 100a provided with a plurality of drive transport rollers is arranged inside the seat transport path 7, and a first open / close position is provided on the outside of the seat transport path 7 so as to be openable and closable on the main body unit 100a via a rotary hinge 100d. The unit 100b and the second opening / closing unit 100c are arranged.

Therefore, when cleaning the check processing device, the first opening / closing unit 100b and the second opening / closing unit 100c are opened with respect to the main body unit 100a with the rotary hinge 100d as an axis to expose the sheet transport path 7. It is possible to Further, the main body unit 100a is provided with a first open / close detection sensor 31 and a second open / close detection sensor 32, and can detect the open / closed state of each of the first open / close unit 100b and the second open / close unit 100c. ..

The tray 1 is rotatably supported on the front surface of the check processing device 100, is housed in the front surface of the main body when the check processing device 100 is not used, and serves as a cover covering the front surface of the device. The rear end of the bill / check, which is rotated and deployed on the front surface of the device and loaded on the hopper 2 provided in the check processing device 100, and the image and the magnetic ink printed characters are read and discharged to the paper ejection stacker 21. It has the function of holding the tip of paper bills and checks.

When the seat S is loaded on the hopper 2, the seat S is recognized by the load detection sensor 2a mounted on the hopper 2. In this state, when the operator presses the start button on the operation panel 60, a reading start signal is transmitted from a higher-level device such as the host computer described above to the controller unit 40, and the paper feed pressing member 3 is pressed by a paper feed motor (not shown). It is driven and presses the sheet S against the paper feed roller 4. Then, the paper feed roller 4 rotates to feed the sheet S to the feed roller 5.

The fed sheet S is conveyed to the sheet transfer path 7 in the apparatus by the feed roller 5. At this time, when a plurality of sheets S fed by the paper feed roller 4 are overlapped, they are separated and conveyed to only one sheet by the separation roller 6 arranged to face the feed roller 5. The feed roller 5 and the separation roller 6 each have a comb tooth structure, and the convex portion of the feed roller 5 and the concave portion of the separation roller 6 are arranged so that the concave portion of the feed roller 5 and the convex portion of the separation roller 6 mesh with each other. Will be done.

The distance between the axes of the feed roller 5 and the separation roller 6 can be adjusted by the axis-to-axis adjustment mechanism 50, and the gap between the outer peripheral surfaces of the feed roller 5 and the separation roller 6 is adjusted to be the optimum gap for check separation.

FIG. 2 is a detailed view of the inter-axis adjustment mechanism 50. The feed roller 5 is rotatably supported by a feed roller drive shaft 51a provided on the feed roller holding member 51. The feed roller holding member 51 is rotatably supported by the rotating shaft 52. An operator-operable inter-axis adjustment dial 55 is provided at the right end of the device, and a dial shaft 55a having a male screw is fixed to the center of the inter-axis adjustment dial 55. An adjustment piece 54 having a female screw on the dial shaft 55a meshes with the dial shaft 55a so as to be movable to the left and right as the adjustment dial 55 rotates. A protrusion 51b is provided on the opposite side of the feed roller holding member 51 from the feed roller 5, and is connected to the adjusting piece 54 by a coil spring 53. When the operator rotates the adjustment dial 55 clockwise, the adjustment piece 54 and the protrusion 51b of the feed roller holding member move to the right in the drawing, and the distance between the axes of the feed roller 5 and the separation roller 6 becomes narrow. When the adjustment dial 55 is rotated counterclockwise, the adjustment piece 54 and the protrusion 51b of the feed roller holding member move to the left in the drawing, and the distance between the axes of the feed roller 5 and the separation roller 6 becomes wider. The adjustment dial 55 is rotated to adjust the gap between the feed roller 5 and the separation roller 6 so that the sheet S does not double feed and can be conveyed.

Returning to FIG. 1, in the sheet S transported to the sheet transport path 7, the magnetization directions of the MICR characters printed on the sheet S are aligned by the permanent magnets 8 arranged in the sheet transport path 7, and further by the transport roller pair 9. It is transported to the inside of the device. A sheet detection sensor 10 that takes timing to read MICR characters, a double feed detection sensor 11, a magnetic head 12, and a sheet S on the opposite side of the magnetic head 12 are placed between the transfer roller pair 9 and the transfer roller pair 13. An opposing roller 12a that presses against 12 is arranged.

In order to reduce the size of the device, a magnetic head 12 that reads MICR characters printed on the lower side of the check is arranged below the transport path, and a double feed detection sensor 11 that detects double feed of the sheet S is arranged above the magnetic head 12. .. When a plurality of checks are sent to the sheet transport path 7 without being separated into one by the separation roller 6, the double feed detection sensor 11 detects the double feed. When a double feed is detected, the subsequent check feed and the check transport where the double feed is detected are stopped. Here, if another check is in the sheet transport path 7 before the double-fed check, only the check feeding is stopped, and the check before the double-fed check is ejected by the paper ejection roller vs. 17. Stops the transport of double-fed checks after they have been ejected to the stacker 21.

At the same time that the double feed detection sensor 11 detects double feed, the sheet S is pressed by the opposed roller 12a so that the portion on which the MICR characters are printed is brought into close contact with the magnetic head 12, and the MICR characters are read. The sheet S in which the MICR characters are read by the magnetic head 12 is conveyed to the endorser 15 by the transfer roller pair 13. The endorser 15 prints a character string such as the date when the check was processed and the name of the financial institution instructed by communication with a higher-level device (not shown) on the back surface of the transported sheet S. The sheet S that has passed through the endorser 15 is conveyed by the transfer roller pair 14, and after timing the image reading by the resist sensor 16, it is conveyed to the image reading sensor pair 30 that reads the image on both sides of the sheet S, and is conveyed on both sides of the sheet S. Image is read. The image reading sensors 30a and 30b have an LED which is a light emitting element, a condensing lens, and a light receiving element inside, and can read an image image on both sides of the sheet S in both color and black and white.

After reading the image of the sheet S, the paper is discharged to the paper discharge stacker 21 by the paper discharge roller pair 17. The output sheet 21 can swing according to the output guides 18 and 19 for aligning the discharged sheets S on the output stacker 21 in the order in which the discharged sheets are discharged, and the load capacity of the discharged sheets. The sheet retainer 20 is provided. The discharged sheet S is discharged toward the alignment surface 21a after the transfer direction is changed by the paper discharge guides 18 and 19.

The discharged sheet S advances along the alignment surface 21a while being pressed against the alignment surface 21a by the sheet retainer 20, and the tip is regulated by the seat stopper 22. Similarly, the sheets that are subsequently ejected are also ejected while overlapping the sheets that are sequentially ejected, and the tips are aligned and aligned by the sheet stopper 22. Then, when all the sheets S loaded on the hopper 2 are fed, the check processing device 100 stops operating.

When a card typified by an ID card or IC card is inserted into the card insertion slot 23 provided on the front surface of the device, the card is detected by the card detection sensor 24, and a transfer motor (not shown) starts rotating. The card transfer roller 25 is rotated in the card pull-in direction by the transfer motor to transfer the card to the card transfer path 26 provided in the device. At this time, the rotation direction of the transfer motor rotates in the direction opposite to the check transfer direction. That is, the paper ejection roller 17 and the transport roller pair 14 rotate in the direction of transporting the card in the direction opposite to the check transport direction.

The card that has traveled along the card transport path 26 reaches the paper ejection roller pair 17. The paper ejection roller pair 17 also rotates in the direction of transporting the card to the reading unit 30 due to the reversal of the transport roller, and transports the card to the transport roller pair 14. The card sent to the transport roller pair 14 goes straight through the transport roller pair 14 as it is, and is conveyed to the card shelter 27 provided at the tip of the card.

When the rear end of the card passes the resist sensor 16, the transfer motor (not shown) temporarily stops rotating and starts rotating in the check transfer direction. Similar to the image reading of the check, the resist sensor 16 takes the timing of reading the image, and then the check is conveyed to the image reading sensor pair 30 to read the images on both sides of the card. The card from which the image has been read is ejected to the paper ejection stacker 21 by the paper ejection roller 17, and the card reading operation is completed. At this time, since the paper ejection guide 18 is arranged at a position higher than the height of the card, the ejection of the card is not hindered.

The check processing device according to the present invention can process not only bills and checks but also securities such as gift certificates and various manuscripts such as coupons.

Next, the check processing device provided with the magnetic swipe reader of the first embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3, 4, and 5.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a check reading device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The magnetic swipe reader 35 is provided above the transfer rollers 9 and the driven rollers 9b and 13b of the transfer roller pair 13 of the first opening / closing unit 100b shown in FIG.

The magnetic swipe reader 35 is arranged on a pair of card guide members facing each other with a gap corresponding to the thickness of the card, a magnetic head disposed on either one of the card guide members, and the other of the card guide members. It is equipped with a pressing member that presses the card against the magnetic head. Although the magnetic swipe reader 35 is thin in the thickness direction of the card (about 15 mm), it is elongated in the swipe direction and has a predetermined depth in the height direction in order to stabilize the swipe operation of the card. Therefore, the magnetic swipe reader 35 is arranged so that the swipe direction of the card is adjacent to the check that is conveyed along the check sheet transport path 7 substantially parallel to the check, and does not affect the size of the device, or the magnetic swipe reader 35. The size increase due to the addition of is kept to a minimum.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, if the other side of the card guide member of the magnetic swipe reader 35 is arranged so as to form a transport path for the sheet S, the size increase of the device can be further minimized.

Further, although a rubber roller is often used for the paper feed roller 4, the magnetic swipe reader 35 must be removed when the paper feed roller 4 is replaced due to wear of the paper feed roller 4, resulting in poor maintainability. turn into. Further, if the device is arranged so as to protrude toward the front side of the hopper, the device becomes large in the depth direction. In the present embodiment, since the groove for passing the card in the magnetic swipe reader 35 is arranged so as to be parallel to the passing surface of the check in the transport path, it is possible to reduce the size of the device.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, an electrical component unit including the magnetic swipe reader 35 is provided on the upper portion of the first opening / closing unit 100b, and the top thereof is flush with the main body unit 100a, whereby the upper portion of the first opening / closing unit 100b is provided. Can be effectively used and a compact arrangement can be realized.

Further, by providing the magnetic swipe reader 35 on the upper part of the magnetic head 12 provided in the first opening / closing unit 100b, the structure near the feed roller 5 can be simplified, and the inter-axis adjustment mechanism as described above can be simplified. It is possible to secure a space for providing 50.

The magnetic swipe reader 35 is connected to the controller unit 40 by a cable (not shown) to supply power and communicate with the controller unit 40. The cable (not shown) is configured to crawl around the rotation hinge 100d of the first opening / closing unit 100b so as to minimize the load on the cable without interfering with the opening / closing operation of the first opening / closing unit 100b.

Further, a paper feed roller cover 41 that covers the paper feed roller 4 and the feed roller 5 is provided on the front side of the first opening / closing unit 100b. As shown in FIG. 5, the paper feed roller cover 41 can be removed independently of the magnetic swipe reader 35, and the paper feed roller 4 and the feed roller 5 can be removed from the apparatus main body simply by removing the paper feed roller cover 41. Therefore, the paper feed roller 4 and the feed roller 5 can be replaced by the user.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the magnetic swipe reader 35, the image reading sensor 30, and the endorser 15 cross the transport path 7 in the vicinity of the bent portion of the transport path extending in a U shape along the outer circumference of the main body unit. By arranging and in a straight line, it is possible to obtain a cohesive appearance with few irregularities as the whole device.

Next, the operation according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3, 4, and 6.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the magnetic swipe reader 35 reads the magnetic information of the magnetic stripe of the card while the first open / close unit 100b is in the closed state, that is, the first open / close detection sensor 31 is detecting the closed state. , A signal related to the magnetic information is generated and transmitted to the controller unit 40 via a cable (not shown). The controller unit 40 decodes the received signal, transmits the data to a higher-level device such as a host computer, and automatically inputs information such as a name to the processing system.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the magnetic information is read by the magnetic swipe reader 35 with the first opening / closing unit 100b open, the first opening / closing unit 100b is not locked, so that the swipe is performed in an unstable state. Therefore, it may not be possible to read the information accurately. Therefore, when the first open / close detection sensor 31 detects that the first open / close unit 100b is open, the controller unit 40 controls the reading by the magnetic swipe reader 35. Alternatively, if a read signal is transmitted from the magnetic swipe reader 35 to the controller unit 40 when the first open / close detection sensor 31 detects that the first open / close unit 100b is open, the controller unit 40 decodes the process. On the display of a higher-level device such as a host computer, after closing the first opening / closing unit 100b, a screen prompting reading by the magnetic swipe reader may be displayed again. In addition, in order to notify the user, any method such as notification by a notification sound or certification of an LED or the like can be applied.

As a check processing device, that is, reading by the magnetic swipe reader 35 is enabled when the first opening / closing unit 100b is closed, and reading by the magnetic swipe reader 35 is invalid when the first opening / closing unit 100b is open. Can be. Therefore, by disabling reading in an unstable state in which the first opening / closing unit 100b is open, the misreading rate of magnetic information can be reduced.

In the embodiment according to the present invention, the second opening / closing unit 100c is also provided in addition to the first opening / closing unit 100b. However, as shown in FIG. 6, when the second opening / closing unit 100c is open, it is magnetic. Since it does not easily affect the reading of the swipe reader 35, the reading may be controlled to be effective. However, it is preferable to disable the reading of the magnetic swipe reader 35 in consideration of the possibility that unexpected vibration or the like may be applied due to the opening of the second opening / closing unit 100c. In any case, it is preferable to disable reading when the first opening / closing unit 100b is open as shown in FIG.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8. Since the basic configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description is omitted and only the different parts will be described in detail.

The magnetic swipe leader 35 is provided above the transfer rollers 9b and the driven rollers 9b and 13b of the transfer roller pair 13 of the first opening / closing unit 100b.

As shown in FIG. 7, the first opening / closing unit 100b is provided with a first contact portion 42, and the first contact portion 42 includes a power supply unit of the magnetic swipe reader 35, a signal transmission unit, or both. It is connected. Further, a main body contact portion 43 is provided on the main body unit 100a side and is connected to the controller unit 40. The first contact portion 42 and the main body contact portion 43 are arranged above the maximum size sheet that can be processed by the apparatus, and are arranged at positions that do not interfere with the transportation of the maximum size sheet. When the first opening / closing unit 100b is closed, the first contact portion 42 and the main body contact portion 43 come into contact with each other, enabling power supply from the controller unit 40 to the magnetic swipe reader 35, signal transmission, or both. Become.

FIG. 8 shows a state in which the first opening / closing unit 100b is opened. In this state, the first contact portion 42 and the main body contact portion 43 are in non-contact, and power is supplied from the controller unit 40 to the magnetic swipe reader 35. , Or the signal transmission, or both are disconnected.

That is, when the first opening / closing unit 100b is closed, the magnetic swipe reader 35 can read, and when the first opening / closing unit 100b is open, the magnetic swipe reader 35 cannot read. .. Therefore, by making it impossible to read in an unstable state in which the first opening / closing unit 100b is open, it is possible to prevent erroneous reading of magnetic information.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, in the above embodiment, the magnetic swipe reader 35 is arranged in the first opening / closing unit 100b, but an IC card reader may be arranged instead of the magnetic swipe reader 35. The IC card reader is also thin in the thickness direction, so if it is placed in the same direction as the magnetic swipe reader 35 (approximately parallel to the check sheet transport path 7), it will not affect the size of the device, or an IC card reader has been added. It is possible to minimize the size increase due to.
