Abstract

PURPOSE:To automatically and certainly turn over paper sheets different in rigidity such as a cover, middle papers or the like one at a time by allowing the respective paper sheets of a booklet to collide with a guide member in the vicinity of the joint part thereof to separate the paper sheet of the next page and a paper sheet to be turned over. CONSTITUTION:A vertical opening passbook 5 is sent into a feed path 51 in a closed or opened state. A plurality of protruding piece-shaped guide parts 90 are provided to the leading end of the guide plate 51 on surface side of printing paper constituting the feed path 51 and the leading ends of the guide parts 90 are slightly bent. The guide parts 90 are arranged in a state slightly extended toward a page turning-over roller 2 from the joint part 91 of the passbook 5 in a state stopped at a page turning-over position and the joint part 91 of paper sheets on the way of turning-over collides with the guide parts 90. By this collision, the paper sheet 15 to be turned over is separated from the paper sheet 15c of the next page started in turning-over simultaneously but having not to be turned over and together turning-over is prevented.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an automatic page changing device for booklets, and is particularly applicable to bank teller devices that handle passbooks, automatic cash deposit dispensing devices, automatic bookkeeping devices, etc. The present invention relates to an automatic page changing device for a booklet in a business processing device, which prevents page turning and automatically turns the pages of a passbook consisting of a cover and inner paper of different stiffness.

[Conventional technology]

In a conventional automatic booklet page changing device, measures and prevention measures for the page-clipping phenomenon 8 have been implemented, for example, as described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 61-33720, which includes a page changing roller section and a guide section. There are some that have .

That is, the following preventive measures are used to prevent the so-called delayed page change phenomenon, in which a sheet of paper that is originally supposed to be page-changed is moved to the next page.

A rubber page change roller is brought into contact with and pressed against the paper surface of a passbook consisting of a plurality of pages, and the page change roller is rotated in the page break direction to start hand-feeding the paper sheets. At this time, the next page may also be fetched as a result of the page-to-page phenomenon. By colliding this hand-fed sheet of paper with the abutment guide section, the sheet of paper and the sheet of the next page connected to the sheet of paper are separated, thereby preventing the page entrainment phenomenon.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The conventional automatic booklet page changing device and the device for preventing the page entrainment phenomenon are suitable devices for turning the pages of the inner sheets of a bankbook. However, recently there have been new types of automatic passbook issuing machines and bulk entry machines that allow you to insert the passbook with it closed and not only turn over the paper inside the passbook, but also the cover.

The rigidity of the cover of a passbook is several times higher than that of the inner paper.
To turn such a medium, the pressure applied to the reroller that turns the medium must be several times that of the inner paper. Therefore, when opening the boundary between the cover and the inside paper, that is, when opening the facing page, the cover is turned under the pressure condition that turns the cover, so the cover and the inside paper are turned together, increasing the frequency of page changes. . In order to perform double-page printing, it is necessary to perform a retry process to return pages that have been previously turned to their original state by reverse-turning process. This is a major bottleneck in reducing processing time. For example, it takes about 6 to 10 seconds for one time try processing.

As described above, in the conventional device for preventing the phenomenon of interlocking pages, there still remains a problem with the interlocking turning of the cover and spine of a bankbook and the inside paper.

The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art, to make it possible to automatically and reliably turn up sheets of paper with different stiffness, such as cover sheets and inner sheets, one by one, and to provide processing for retry processing. An object of the present invention is to provide an automatic booklet page changing device capable of improving the efficiency of a processing device by reducing time.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the automatic booklet page changing device of the present invention has the following features. A page change roller unit that contacts the cover and inner pages of the booklet and can be rotated in forward and reverse directions so as to pull the cover and inner pages toward the seam, and a page change roller unit that presses against the page change roller unit and the booklet. The page change roller unit has a pressing member that presses the cover and inner sheets of the booklet near the seam, and a guide member that comes into contact with the binding portion of the cover and inner sheets of the booklet. At the timing when the binding part of the cover and inner sheets come into contact with the guide member, the pressing member releases the pressure on the booklet, and the page change roller unit continues to feed the booklet. After feeding a predetermined amount in the hand-feeding direction. It is characterized by stopping and turning over the cover and inner paper leaves.

[Effect]

In the present invention, when the page change opening to the R section are rotated while being brought into contact with a predetermined sheet of paper, the sheet of paper to be changed is pulled in the direction of the binding stitch.

At this time, even if a page change phenomenon occurs and the next page's leaves are also connected together, each paper will collide with the guide member near the binding seam, and the next page's leaves will collide with the guide member near the seam. The paper sheets that should originally be replaced are separated. That is,
Since the frictional force between the paper sheet and the rubber-made page change roller is greater than the collision force against the guide member, the page change of the paper sheet that should originally have been changed does not work properly. It will be done. However, since the frictional force between the sheets is smaller than the collision force against the guide member when the page is replaced with the next page of the sheet that should originally be changed, the sheet changes in the binding direction of the sheet. This is the end of the hand-feeding operation.
After colliding with the guide member, it is knocked down. If, at this point, the paper is struck downward and transported by a predetermined amount in the falling direction, the difference between the frictional force between the rubber-made page change roller and the paper sheet and the frictional force between the paper sheets becomes large, and eventually, Only the page change sheet is thrown downward, and the page change phenomenon is prevented.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the structure of an automatic page changing device for a bankbook with top and bottom openings according to the present invention.

In Figure 1, the top and bottom opening passbook (hereinafter referred to as passbook and sushi record) 5
The transport path 51 is in a closed state or in an open state.
sent to. The conveyance path 51 includes guide plates 511, 51
2, the lower part of which communicates with a passbook printing section (not shown).

The conveyance path 51 is provided with a conveyance roller 52 for the passbook 5.
In addition, the distance between the upper pair of rollers 52 and the lower roller pair 52 of the conveyance path 51 is shorter than the length of a closed bankbook when handling both a closed bankbook and an open bankbook.

The passbook 5 is held between these conveyance rollers 52 and fed downward or upward.

Two page change rollers 2 are provided at substantially intermediate positions between the upper roller 52 and the lower roller 52 of the conveyance path 51. These page change rollers 2 are fixed to a shaft 1 directly connected to the rotating shaft of a motor 12, and a shielding plate 10 having slits 1 is attached to the other end of the shaft 1.

When the motor 12 rotates in the forward or reverse direction under control from a control unit (not shown), the page changing roller 2
Then, the shielding plate 10 rotates in the same direction, and the page change operation is started. Further, a photoelectric element 11 is arranged corresponding to the slit rotation locus of the shielding plate 10, and the photoelectric element 1
The rotation and stopping of the motor 12 are controlled by the detection output from the motor 1.

Above and below the page change roller 2 on the conveyance path 51,
Shutters 141 and 42 are provided.

Here, the shutter 141 is attached to the shaft 54.
2 is rotatably attached to the shaft 1 and connected to the solenoid 13 via links 531 and 532, respectively.

Although not shown, the link 531 is also connected to a solenoid, and normally, when transporting a passbook, the shutter 1 is
41 and 142 are both closed, allowing smooth transportation of the passbook 5. When changing the pages of the bankbook 5, a solenoid (not shown) or the solenoid 13 is activated and either the shutters 141 or 142 is opened. That is, when changing pages in the forward direction of the passbook 5,
When a solenoid (not shown) is activated and the shutter 141 is opened via the link 531, and a page change in the reverse direction is to be performed, the solenoid 13 is activated and the shutter 141 is opened via the link 531.
2, the shutter 141 is opened.

Note that for a device that turns the pages of the bankbook 5 in only one direction, any shutter, link, or solenoid is unnecessary.

are provided and respectively enter the shutters 141.14.2. Furthermore, the tip of the guide portion 90 is slightly bent.

FIG. 2 is a side sectional view showing the structure of a part of the automatic page changing device shown in FIG.

The pressing member 99 is disposed on the opposite side of the page changing roller 2. This pressing member 99 is for pressing the bankbook 5 against the page changing roller 2 when changing the pages of the bankbook 5, and is driven by a solenoid or the like (not shown), and is retracted outside the conveyance path 51 except when changing pages. has been done.

The guide section 90 is arranged in a state that extends slightly toward the page change roller 2 side from the binding section 91 of the passbook when the passbook 5 is stopped at the page change position, and is provided in this part when the page change is in progress. The paper sheets collide near the seam 91.

The reason why the guide portion 90 is configured in this manner is as follows.

A sheet of paper to be page-changed that has been pulled toward the binding section 91 by the page-change roller 2? 5 is intentionally collided with the guide portion 90 while the page change is proceeded. Due to the collision, a subsequent page change is performed, that is, a page change is started at the same time as the page change is to be performed at the same time as the page change is to be performed. This is to prevent

In other words, the paper sheet 15 that was pulled in the direction of the binding section 9l and should originally be replaced, and the paper sheet 15 of the next page.
c is caused to collide with the guide portion 90 in the initial stage of hand-feeding for page change.

As a result, the frictional force F■ between the page change roller 2 and the sheet 15 that should originally be changed, and the frictional force between the sheet 15 that should originally be changed and the next sheet 15c. A relationship of Fe>F2 is established between F2 and F2. Then, at the point when the page change sheet 15c collides with the guide section 90, it is knocked down in the direction of the arrow X, thereby preventing the page change phenomenon.

However, is the page number 15 that should be replaced? Part 90
Even at the time of collision, the above F■>F. does not hold, and F=F2 or F■<F2 is established, and the page change sheet 15c is not knocked down in the direction of arrow X5, that is, the sheet 15 and the sheet 15C are perfectly aligned. A complete two-page flipping phenomenon, such as adsorption, is also possible. As a preventive measure against such a phenomenon, the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 implements characteristic processing control as shown in FIG. 3.

FIG. 3 is a side cross-sectional view showing the structure of a preventive function against the above-mentioned complete double-page turning phenomenon in FIG. 1.

In FIG. 3, FIGS. 3(a) and (b) indicate the above F1>
Fs is established, and the page change sheet 15c is moved to the arrow X,
It shows how it is knocked down in the direction. Also, Fig. 3(c),
(d) and (e) show the preventive operation when F,=F2 or F<F2 holds true and a complete double-page turning phenomenon occurs.

In the process shown in FIG. 3(b), the pressing member 99 that had been pressing the closed passbook 5 in the direction of the arrow
In , the page is released in the direction of arrow X3 at a predetermined timing when the sheet 15 that should originally be page-changed collides with the guide section 90. At the same time, the passbook 5 closed at a predetermined speed is started to be fed by a predetermined amount in the direction of arrow X2, and then stopped. During this operation, the page changing roller 2 continues to rotate and stops rotating at a predetermined position shown in FIG. 3(d).

In the process of transition from FIG. 3(C) to FIG. 3(d), the interleaved page change sheet 15c is fed in the direction of arrow X2 while contacting the folded portion of the guide 90, so that the It is squeezed at the bending part of 90, and in the middle of feeding a predetermined amount, F>F
When , is established, it is knocked down in the direction of arrow X, and the third
As shown in Figure (d), the page changing phenomenon is completely prevented.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3(d), the paper sheet 15 that should have been page-changed is thrown away behind the page-changing roller 2, so as shown in FIG. 3(e), By starting to feed the partially opened bankbook 5 in the direction of arrow X4, only the sheets 15 that should originally be page-changed can be page-changed.

The explanation in FIGS. 3(a) to (e) above uses the example of turning over a highly rigid cover, but regarding the turning over of the inner paper, the example shown in FIG. Q) ~ Ce)
This is basically the same as the one in which the control processing was performed.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the page changing roller 2 is
It comes into contact with the cover 15 or the inside paper sheet 15c surface of the booklet @5, and its rotation pulls the sheet toward the stitching direction. The sheet of paper 15 that should be replaced in the direction of the stitching by the page changing roller 2 and the leading page changing sheet of the next page collide with the guide section 90, and the sheet of leading page changing sheet of the next page Leaf 15c is separated,
Only the sheet 15 that should originally be page-changed is page-changed. The pressing member 99 presses the bankbook 5 against the page change roller 2, helps the page change roller 2 to pull the paper sheets 15, 15c in the direction of the binding, and at the same time releases the bankbook at a predetermined timing. In particular, by more effectively separating the cover sheet 5 that is currently being turned and the next inner sheet 15c, it is possible to more reliably prevent the page change phenomenon.

Furthermore, as a modified example, as a method for improving the reliability of the turning operation, the method shown in Fig. 3 (c
), the value of the predetermined feeding amount X2 and the feeding speed of
Or, the rotation speed of the page changing roller 2, and further,
It is also possible to control the timing of releasing the pressure of the pressing member 99, the timing of starting feeding of the passbook 5 in the x2 direction, etc., with more fine-grained optimal values, and separately for turning over the cover and turning over the inner paper. It is.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, it is possible to automatically and reliably turn over sheets of paper with different stiffness, such as the cover and inner pages, one by one, and there is no need for a retry process to return pages that have been turned over once. This makes it possible to improve the efficiency of processing equipment by shortening processing time.
