[Industrial application field]

The present invention is applied to a printer device that handles booklets such as passbooks used in financial terminals and the like, and relates to an automatic page-breaking method for page-breaking the booklets.

In recent years, financial terminals and the like have been widely used as a part of the ``one-view computer banking system''.

These devices often have an automatic page break mechanism in their passbook printing mechanism. This mechanism is capable of page-breaking all the pages constituting the booklet, including the cover, and requires reliable page-breaking for each page.

[Conventional technology]

Although a bookkeeping machine is not shown, when a bankbook is inserted horizontally from the entrance side, the bankbook is conveyed along a conveyance path and sent to a printer section, where transaction data is printed.

If this transaction data is printed over multiple lines, when the last line of the page is printed during printing, the passbook is sent to the page turning section and the page is turned over. Printing continues again in the printer section, and when printing is completed, the passbook is ejected to the entrance side.

FIG. 4 is a side view showing a conventional page turning mechanism.

The page turning unit l is a push-up lever provided between a roller 3.5 and a roller 4.6, which hold the booklet (passbook) 2 on the conveyance path from above and below at intervals, and are controlled to rotate in forward and reverse directions. 7. A pair of separators 8 provided around the axis of the roller 3 from above the roller 3, a plunger magnet (hereinafter referred to as PM) that moves the push-up lever 7 up and down via the lever 9.
) 10, a PM 12 that opens and closes the separator 8 via a lever 11, a flip-up detection sensor S2 that detects that the page to be turned has swelled up, and a flip-up detection sensor S2 that detects that the page has flipped up. The light of e is reflected by mirror f and received by photodiode S2). Note that the rollers 4.6 are opened/closed by a PM (not shown). 13 is a guide plate, and roller 5
It is formed to be rotatable around the shaft of the holder, and is locked during normal transport to guide the media to prevent jams, and rotates as the media changes during page breaks. Both sides of the rollers 3.4 are symmetrically configured to allow opposite movements when reversing the page.

The conventional page turning system is shown in FIGS. 5(A) to 5(E), and FIG. 5(A) shows the bankbook 2 set in the page turning mechanism. Initially, the bankbook 2 is fixed by rollers 5.6 and 3.4. Next, the roller 3.4 is released, the push-up lever (push-up means) 7 deforms the passbook 2 as shown in Figure 5 (b), and the roller 3.4 is closed again to perform the inflating operation (roller 3 is pushed up). (rotate in the circular direction).

The guide plate 13 is moved by the medium, the sensor Sl is shielded by the guide plate 13, and when the end of the inflation operation is detected, the push-up lever 7 is lowered as shown in FIG. 5(c), and at the same time the roller 4 is lowered. , roller 3 rotates, and the fifth
As shown in Figure (d), the medium is thrown up, and the light is blocked by the thrown up medium.

After the sensor S2 detects the end of the flip-up, the separator 8 is opened so that the swollen medium does not come into contact with the roller 3, and the roller 3 is rotated (so as to move the passbook 2 to the right in the figure). Transfer the bankbook 2 and change the page as shown in e).

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional page breaking method, the push-up lever 7 is held up during the bulge, that is, the entire passbook 2 remains bent and deformed, and the bulge occurs without the pages being separated from each other. , there is a risk that pages will be changed at the same time, causing so-called multiple page turning.

In addition, in order to prevent this, if the amount of inflating is reduced, the engagement between the page break roller 4.4 and the page will be weakened.
This will result in slippage and page breaks.

As described above, the conventional automatic page turning operation has the drawback of causing multiple page turning, and when the operating conditions are changed to compensate for this drawback, there is a problem that slipping occurs.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an automatic page break method that does not cause multiple page turns and performs reliable page breaks under conditions subordinate to conventional automatic page break methods.

The booklet 2 is held in a fixed position, and the pushing means 7 is lowered, and the roller 3 is rotated with a gap C created between each page of the booklet 2, and the operation of inflating the upper page is started, and then a page break is performed. This problem is solved by the automatic page break method of the present invention.

[Means to solve the problem]

The above-mentioned problem is caused by the booklet 2 such as a passbook as shown in Figure 1.
An automatic page change method, comprising: a transport roller 5 capable of fixing a binding side edge A of the booklet 2;
．． 6, a roller 3.4 having a page turning function that fixes the turning side end B and can release it, and a roller 3.4 located approximately in the middle of both rollers 6.4, which causes the booklet 2 to bend in a certain direction. After the binding side end A of the booklet 2 is clamped and fixed by the rollers 5.6 and the roller 3.4 at the turning side end B is released, the booklet 2 is pushed up by the pushing up means 7. The booklet 2 is pushed up and then pinched by the roller 3.4 at the turning end B. [Function] In other words, the passbook 2 is fixed by the conveyance roller 5.6 and the conveyance/page feed roller 3.4 in FIG. After releasing the rollers 4 from (a) to Fig. 1 (b), stopping the excitation of the rollers 5.6 (excitation of the motor that rotates the rollers 5.6), and firmly clamping the binding side edge, push up. After deforming with the lever (pushing means) 7, the roller 4 is closed as shown in Fig. 1 (c), and the roller 3.4 is excited and stopped (the motor that rotates the mouth 5.6 is excited). , the free end is fixed, and then the excitation of the roller 5.6 is released, and the push-up lever 7 is lowered as shown in FIG. 1(d).
FIG. 2(a) to FIG. 2(d).

That is, as shown in Fig. 2 (a), the same-shaped gills 14 are placed one on top of the other, one side is strongly clamped from above and below, the other free end is bent in the direction of the arrow, and the free end is folded as shown in Fig. 2 (b). If the end side is caused to shift due to deformation, and in this state the free end side is clamped as shown in Figure 2 (C), and the bending action is removed as shown in Figure 2 (D), the second As shown in Figure (d), "gaps" occur between each sheet of paper due to uneven lengths of the sheets due to changes in geometric conditions. This phenomenon can be obtained without depending on paper quality such as paper stiffness and friction coefficient, or environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity.

Since the bulge caused by this "gap" directly determines the direction of buckling, each sheet is reliably turned over one by one, and there is no possibility of multiple turning.

(Embodiment) Fig. 1 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 3 is an operational block diagram of the present invention.Common symbols throughout the figures indicate the same objects. Sensor S1% Sensor S
! is the same as in FIG. 5, so illustration and explanation will be omitted.

In Figure 1, a booklet (
Passbook) 2 is a conveyor roller 5.6 and a conveyor/page feed roller 3
．． 4 [Figure 1 (a)]. Next, by releasing the rollers 3.4 and protruding the push-up lever (push-up means) 7, the passbook 2 is bent and deformed as shown in FIG. .4 is fixed [Figure 1 (c)]. By resetting Nileper 7, press "Here," as described above, "
A gap occurs (see Figure 1 (d)).Next, roller 3.4
, and starts the inflating operation, but the passbook 2 still remains lowered [Figure 1 (e)]. When the inflating operation is completed, the rollers 3.4 are released, the separator 8 is opened, and the passbook 2 is immediately flipped up, and the passbook 2 is transferred in the opposite direction to the page turning direction to perform a page break [Fig. I・)〕
.

When the above operations are divided into blocks, an operation block diagram as shown in FIG. 3 is obtained.

In this method, a "gap" already exists between pages before the inflating operation begins, and the retention between pages becomes weaker, which has the effect of preventing multiple turning.

Conventionally, the pushing up means (pushing lever 7) that forcibly sets the buckling direction is held up until the inflating operation starts, and the repulsive force caused by the bending of the container causes frictional force between the pages, resulting in multiple turning. was encouraging. In contrast, in the method of the present invention, the buckling direction is directly determined by the bulge caused by the "gap" between pages without using a push-up means during the bulging operation, and a large number of pages are engaged as in the conventional method. The pages will not be broken all at once while the pages are still aligned.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, before changing the operating conditions and starting the inflating operation, "gaps" already exist between pages, and the coherence between pages becomes weak. This prevents multiple page turning and makes it possible to reliably change pages one by one.
