[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a passbook printing device that performs bookkeeping processing for multiple types of transactions in financial institutions, etc., and more particularly to a passbook printing device that can guide half of a passbook to the outside through a corner window of a rotating body and rotate it back and forth. It is.

In recent years, financial institutions have introduced automated teller machines that customers operate to conduct transactions.
Machines (hereinafter referred to as ATMs) and automatic teller machines (Cash Dispensers: hereinafter referred to as CDs)
1st class automated transaction device.

Alternatively, passbooks have become widespread using bookkeeping machines operated by tellers at counters, and transaction details are automatically entered in the passbook.

Recently, there are some general accounts that handle multiple types of transactions9 in a single passbook, such as ordinary deposits and time deposits, and we have developed a device that can record both types of transactions consecutively with one insertion. It has been put into practical use. For example, when recording interest on a time deposit into a savings account, the direction of the passbook is reversed within the device and each entry is made.

In such a device, a method for downsizing the passbook reversing mechanism is desired.

As shown in FIG. 8, the passbook 5a is a book with multiple transaction types 1, for example, a general account, which doubles as a savings account passbook and a time deposit passbook, and both covers have magnetic stripes MS1. MS2 is provided.

Therefore, for example, when recording a withdrawal for a regular deposit, the teller presses the withdrawal button for a regular deposit on the keyboard 3, then opens the passbook 5a and inserts it into the insertion slot 1 in the direction of arrow A. Magnetic stripe M1 compatible with ordinary deposits
Account number etc. are read from. The passbook 5a is conveyed along a conveyance path 6a by feed rollers R1 to R3 and sent to the printer section 8.

When you enter the withdrawal amount using the keyboard 3, it will be displayed on the display 4. When you confirm this and press the confirmation button, communication with the host will be performed and the transaction data will be printed on the passbook 5a by the printer section 9. be done.

If transaction data is printed over multiple lines, if the page is printed to the last line during printing, the page turning section I
The page is sent to O, the page is turned over, and the printer 9 continues printing again.

Upon completion of printing, the bankbook 5a is sent to the R/W section 8, where the balance of the magnetic stripe MSI is updated, and then sent in the direction of arrow B and ejected into the insertion slot 1. The teller counts the cash requested for withdrawal and hands it to the customer together with the passbook 5a.

Also, when processing multiple types of transactions in succession.

For example, if you want to record interest from a fixed deposit into a regular deposit,
After pressing the regular interest/ordinary bookkeeping button, open the fixed deposit side of the passbook 5a and insert it, the account number etc. will be read from the magnetic stripe MS2, communication with the host will be performed, and the interest calculation period will have passed. If so, the data is transmitted, and the printer section 9 records the interest on the time deposit, and immediately records that the interest has been transferred to the ordinary deposit. The information is sent to the host and the savings account data file is updated.

Then, the gate G operates and the passbook 5a is transferred to the feed roller R3,
It is sent to the evacuation conveyance path 7a by R4, as shown in FIG. 9(a).
As shown in the conventional example (1), 1 horizontally at the rotating part tta
It is rotated 80 degrees and reversed, sent to the page turning unit 10 again, and the page is turned over until it reaches the printable page of the savings account, and then the account number etc. are read from the magnetic stripe MSI in the R/W unit 8. communication with the host,
゛The bookkeeping data is printed by the printer section 9 and is ejected to the insertion slot 1.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 9 (bl), there is also a method in which the passbook 5a is closed, rotated by 180 degrees in the rotating section 11b, and then opened again in the page turning section 10.

In this way, the passbook 5a is turned around inside the device to process a plurality of types of transactions continuously.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

According to the above conventional method: (1) In the conventional example (method 11), the passbook 5a is rotated with it open, so the rotating area becomes large, resulting in a large device that cannot meet the demand for miniaturization.

(2) In the method of conventional example (2), the passbook 5a is rotated after being closed, so the rotation area becomes smaller, but a mechanism for closing the passbook 5a is required, making the mechanism complicated.

There is a problem.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a passbook printing device that can downsize the passbook rotation mechanism using a simple and inexpensive mechanism.

[Means for solving problems]

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the basic configuration of the present invention.

In the figure, 5 is a passbook medium, 6 is a conveyance path, and 11 is a part of the conveyance path 6, and has a length slightly larger than half of the length of the passbook medium 5, and is centered on the center of the length. A rotatable rotating body; 12 is a square window provided on one of the upper and lower surfaces near the end of the rotating body 11 on the side closer to the conveyance path 6; This is a guiding means for guiding the leading end of the bankbook medium 5 conveyed onto the rotating body 11 from the square window 12 to the outside of the rotating body 11.

Therefore, the end portion of the passbook medium 5 conveyed to the rotating body 11 is guided by the guiding means 13 to the outside of the rotating body 11 through the square window 12.

[Effect]

The end of the passbook medium 5 conveyed to the rotating body 11 is connected to the guiding means 1
3 to the outside of the rotating body 11 from the square window 12,
Feeding is stopped at a position where approximately one page of the passbook medium 5 is pushed out of the rotating weight 1, and the passbook medium 5 is rotated 180 degrees around the center of the rotating body 11.

Next, when the passbook medium 5 is transferred in the opposite direction, the page on one side that has come out of the rotary body 11 is drawn into the inside of the rotary body 11 and advances along the conveyance path 6.

In this way, it is possible to rotate in a small rotation range with a simple and inexpensive mechanism as in the conventional example (2), and the device can be made smaller.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described using a bookkeeping machine as an example with reference to FIG. 2 and the third page. Components in FIG. 2 that correspond to those in FIG. 1 are indicated by dashed lines. The same reference numerals indicate the same objects throughout the figures.

As shown in FIG. 2, instead of the rotary unit 11a provided in the evacuation conveyance path 7a branched from the conventional conveyance path 6a explained in FIG. tic is provided.

The rotating part 11c constitutes a part of the evacuation conveyance path 7b, and has a length slightly larger than half the length of the passbook 5a.

That is, it is slightly longer than the length of one page, and a shaft 15 is provided below the center thereof, and the shaft 15 is connected to a motor M2.

A square window 12a is provided on the upper surface near the end of the rotating portion 11c on the side closer to the conveyance path 6a.

The corner window 12a has length and width dimensions that allow the bankbook 5a to be inserted and removed from the end. A movable lever 1 is installed on the outside side of the corner window 12a.
3a is rotatably attached. Movable lever 13
A is longer than the interval between the upper and lower surfaces of the evacuation conveyance path 7b, and is inclined downwardly of the square window 12a and pressed against the lower surface of the evacuation conveyance path 7b by a spring 14a. Movable lever 13
When installing a, the guide plate 16 is located near the rotating part 11.
It is provided perpendicularly to the top surface of c. Further, R5 indicates a feed roller, and R6 indicates a presser roller.

Further, FIG. 3 shows a control block diagram, in which 15 is a main control section;
16 is a magnet driver, 17 is a motor driver, 1
8 is a plunger magnet that ovens/closes the presser roller R6 by excitation/release; 19 is a main control unit;
Ml is the feed roller R of the conveyance path 6a and the evacuation conveyance path 7b.
1-A motor that drives R5 is shown.

With such a configuration, when recording multiple types of transactions in succession, after the recording of one type of transaction 9, for example, the transaction corresponding to the magnetic stripe 31, is completed, the recording of the next transaction is completed. The front-to-back reversal operation of the passbook 5a, which is performed before the transfer, will be explained with reference to the operation process diagram shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 4 (al), the passbook 5a sent from the conveyance path 6a in the direction of the arrow to the evacuation conveyance path 7b is moved along the evacuation conveyance path while pushing up the movable lever 13a at its tip against the elasticity of the spring 14a. Proceed to 7b.

As shown in FIG. 4 (bl), the feed is stopped at the position where the rear end is in front of the position of the movable lever 13a.

As shown in FIG. 4(C), the passbook 5a is transferred in the opposite direction, and the rear end is guided from the corner window 12a to the outside of the rotating part 11c by the movable lever 13a, and the end of the passbook 5a that comes out is guided by the guide plate 16 and stands up vertically, and stops feeding at the position where almost one page of the passbook 5a is pushed out of the rotating section 11C.

As shown in FIG. 4(d), when the presser roller R6 is opened and the motor M2 is driven to rotate the shaft 15 by 180 degrees, the front and back of the bankbook 5a on the rotating part 11C are reversed.

As shown in FIG. 4(e), when the presser roller R6 is closed and the feed roller R5 is driven to transport the passbook 5a in the direction of the arrow, one page that was outside the rotating section 11C is moved to the rotating section 11c. It is drawn inward and sent to the conveyance path 6a.

Therefore, the motor M2 is driven to rotate in the reverse direction to return the rotating portion tic to its original state.

In this way, the passbook 5a is sent to the conveyance path 6a again for the next transaction.
That is, the transaction corresponding to the magnetic stripe MS2 is recorded.

Further, FIG. 5 shows a different embodiment. The difference in FIG. 5 from the embodiment explained in FIG. 2 is that the position of the switching lever is changed by a plunger magnet instead of the movable lever 13a, and the transfer direction of the passbook 5a on the rotating part is flexible. This eliminates the need for return rotation of the rotating part.

That is, in the figure, the switching lever 13b is formed into a substantially L-shape, and the horizontal portion a is the movable lever 13a of the above embodiment.
It is located on the inner surface of the rotating part lid so as to close the corner window 12b, the corner part is already rotatably supported as a fulcrum, and the tip of the vertical part C is connected to the plunger magnet 2.
Connected to 0. Further, 21 is a spring.

Therefore, when the square window 12b is on the left side of the rotating part lid, in order to guide the end of the passbook 5a sent from the right side to the outside from the square window 12b, first, the plunger magnet 20 is energized and the switching lever 13b is Rotate in the direction of the arrow, and
As shown by the dotted line, switch the horizontal part a to the inclined position,
The end of the passbook 5a is sent up the slope to guide the end to the outside through the corner window 12b.

Next, the rotating part lid is rotated 180 degrees, the passbook 5a is transferred in the retracting direction, and the plunger magnet 20 is de-energized to return the horizontal part a, and the passbook 5a is moved below it.
is transported and sent to the printer section 9.

When the square window 12b is on the right side, the plunger magnet 20 is excited after the rear end of the bankbook 1a passes the position of the square window 12b, and the position of the horizontal part a of the switching lever 13b is switched, and the bankbook 5a is It is sufficient to send the passbook 5a in the direction of the switching lever 13b to guide the end portion to the outside, rotate the rotating part lid by 180 degrees, and then send out the passbook 5a. Therefore, since the guide can be performed even if the square window 12a is located on either the left or right side, there is no need to perform a return rotation of 180 degrees each time by responding to the control.

In this way, the rotation area of the bankbook 5a can be reduced and the bankbook 5a can be turned back and forth with a simple mechanism, so that the device can be miniaturized economically.

In the above example, a square window 12a is provided on the upper surface of the rotating part to guide the end of the passbook above the rotating part, but a square window may be provided on the lower surface to guide it downward.

Furthermore, although a case has been described in which the rotating section is present on the evacuation conveyance path branching from the conveyance path, the rotating section may also be present on the conveyance path.

In this case, either embodiment can be applied when the rotating section is at the end of the conveyance path, and a different embodiment can be applied when the rotating section is between the printer section and the insertion port.

Furthermore, although we have described the case of a bookkeeping machine, it can also be applied to automatic transaction devices such as ATMs and CDs that have a bookkeeping function, and also to devices that have a passbook issuing function that issues a new passbook based on a new contract or the expiration of a bookkeeping. It can be applied to

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to perform front-back reversal by reducing the rotation area of the passbook medium with a simple mechanism, so that it is possible to achieve an economical miniaturization of the device.
