That is, as the sorting wheel 8 rotates clockwise in FIG. 1, the slip journal 1a is guided to the slip journal winding section 9, which will be described later, and as the sorting wheel 8 rotates counterclockwise, the statement slip on the lower side of the slip journal is guided. The journal 1b is guided to a statement printing section (not shown).

The structure around the slip journal winding section 9 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

The slip journal 1a carried in from the direction shown by arrow A through the print head 6 is guided to a conveyance path consisting of a conveyance belt 10 and a conveyance guide 11. The aforementioned sorting vehicle 8 is arranged at the entrance of this conveyance path. The distribution wheel 8 is rotated by receiving a driving force from a drive motor 15 via a transmission belt 13 stretched around a pulley 12 mounted on the same axis. The transmission belt 13 is stretched between a pulley 14 attached to the rotating shaft of the drive motor 15 and the pulley 12, and the distribution wheel 8 rotates forward and reverse under rotation control of the drive motor 15 to distribute the journal 1 into two routes. . That is, the slip journal is slightly longer than the statement journal at the tip of the journal 1, and by first turning the sorting wheel 8 clockwise, the upper slip journal is moved to the conveyor belt 10.
After the introduction, the sorting wheel 8 is reversely rotated to guide the lower statement journal to the route to the statement printing section.

The conveyor belt 10 is stretched between rollers 16 and 17 and a drive roller 18. Drive roller 18
is rotated by receiving driving force from the main motor 20 via the transmission belt 21, thereby moving the conveyor belt 10 and rotating the conveyor roller 19 attached coaxially. The transmission belt 21 is stretched between the drive roller 18 and a pulley 22 that receives rotational force from the main motor 20. Pulley 2
A gear 23 attached to the rotating shaft of the main motor 20 is engaged with a gear 24 attached to the rotating shaft of the main motor 20. Further, a tension roller 25 is arranged opposite to the conveyance roller 19. The tension roller 25 is pivotally supported by the tip of the elastic piece 26.
It is pressed against the conveyance roller 19 by the elasticity of the roller 6. A slip journal is held between the conveyance roller 19 and the tension roller 25, and the conveyance roller 19
As a result of the rotation, the sheet is conveyed in the direction shown by arrow B, that is, toward the conveyance guide 27 side. The conveyance guide 27 guides the slip journal carried out from between the conveyance roller 19 and the tension roller 25 diagonally upward. Near the upper end of the conveyance guide 27, a pair of journal detection sensors 28 are arranged facing each other.

A pair of conveyance guides 29 and 30 are rotatably provided on the discharge side of the conveyance guide 27. These conveyance guides 29 and 30 are each fixed at a predetermined inclination angle to a fixed plate 32 that is pivotally supported by a shaft 31. In addition, as shown in FIG.
2 is pivotally supported on a shaft 31 via a bearing 33,
Furthermore, a spring 34 fitted into the shaft 31 urges the shaft 31 from the position indicated by the solid line shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 2 to the direction indicated by the two-dot chain line. Axis 31 is frame 3
5 and 36 with bearings 37 and 38, respectively,
Furthermore, a conveyance roller 39 is attached to the inside of the fixed plate 32 of the shaft 31, which faces the carry-in side of the conveyance guide 30. A conveyance roller 40 is pivotally supported at the tip of the conveyance guide 30 . The conveyance roller 40 faces the inner surface of the tip of the conveyance guide 29.

A protrusion 41 provided on the fixed plate 32 parallel to the shaft 31
is connected to a connecting portion 43 of a stop lever 42 that swings about a shaft 45. The stop lever 42 has an upper end that is connected to the plunger 51 of the solenoid 50 and has a return spring 52 attached thereto, and a locking piece 44 that engages with the notch 49 of the journal winding drum 47 at the start of winding. A connecting portion 43 connected to the protrusion 41 is provided. When the solenoid 50 is off, the stop lever 42 is held in the solid line position in FIG. 2 by the action of the bill journal 52.
In this case, the locking piece 44 moves above the drum 47 and is set in such a way that the direction of conveyance by the conveyance guides 29 and 30 does not face the drum 47 as indicated by the two-dot chain line. When the solenoid 50 is turned on (suction), the locking piece 44 rotates toward the drum 47 and the connecting portion 43 moves, and the conveyance guides 29, 30
moves to the position indicated by the solid line in FIG. Transport guide 3
0 comes into contact with the stopper 60 at the position indicated by the solid line. Note that the protrusion 41 is attached to the frame 3 as shown in FIG.
It passes through a long hole 46 drilled in 7 and is connected to the connecting part 43.

The drum 47 is rotatably provided above the discharge side of the conveyance guides 29 and 30. drum 47
A shaft 48 is formed along the axial direction, and the above-mentioned notch 49 is formed in a part of the outer peripheral surface. When the solenoid 50 is turned on, the locking piece 44 of the stop lever 42 is locked in the notch 49, and the transport guides 29, 30 are moved to the position indicated by the solid line, and the arrows of the transport guides 29, 30 The carrying-out direction indicated by C corresponds to the carrying-in direction of the groove 48. In this way, the locking piece 44 locks into the notch 49, thereby stopping the rotation of the drum 47 and regulating the groove 48 to the winding start position, and also interlocks with the locking operation of the locking piece 44. By rotating the fixed plate 32 connected to the connecting portion 43, the transport guides 29, 30 can be moved to the winding start position. As described above, the stop lever 42 equipped with the locking piece 44 that restricts the drum 47 and the connecting portion 43 that restricts the conveyance guides 29 and 30 fixed to the fixed plate 32 is swung by the solenoid 50. Therefore, a drive device for separately driving the locking piece 44 and the connecting portion 43 is not required, resulting in a simple configuration. The positions of the two-dot chain lines of the conveyance guides 29 and 30 correspond to the positions where the maximum diameter outer peripheral surface 61 of the slip journal wound around the drum 47 comes into contact with the conveyance roller 40.

A gear 53 attached to the rotating shaft of the drum 47 is engaged via gears 54 and 55 with a gear 56 equipped with a torque limit mechanism. Details of these gear mechanisms are shown in FIG. A gear 56 that engages with the gears 54 and 55 is pressed against the side surface of a gear 57 of the same type via a friction plate 58 by a pressing spring 59. gear 5
7 is a gear 5 attached to the rotating shaft of the main motor 20
8 is engaged. The rotational force of the main motor 20 is transmitted from the gear 57 to the gear 56 via the friction plate 58 by frictional conduction. With such a torque limit mechanism, when the locking piece 44 locks into the notch 49 and rotation of the drum 47 is suppressed, the gear 5
6 slips due to the friction plate 58, and transmission of rotational force is stopped. The gears are selected so that the number of rotations of the drum 47 is smaller than the number of rotations of the conveyance roller 19. Therefore, the slip journal receives the conveying force of the conveying roller 19 and the tension roller 25, and is wound around the drum 47, which rotates at a speed slower than the conveying speed.

A schematic control block diagram of the slip journal winding section 9 is shown in FIG.

The control unit 62 of the slip journal winding unit 9 is a CPU.
(not shown), and controls the driving of the main motor 20, the solenoid 50, and the drive device 63 of the distribution wheel 8. The output of the journal detection sensor 28 is given to the control section 62.

The slip journal winding process in the slip journal winding section 9 will be explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

When the journal 1 before the start of use is loaded into the slip issuing machine and the slip journal is guided from the journal 1 to the conveyor belt 10 side by the sorting wheel 8, step n1 (hereinafter, step ni is simply referred to as ni) is reached. to turn on the solenoid 50 and move the stop lever 42 from the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 2 to the position shown by the dashed-dotted line. Next, the main motor 20 is turned on to rotate the drum 47 via the gears 56, 57, etc. (n2). As the drum 47 rotates, the notch 49 and the drum 44 engage with each other, and the drum 47 stops rotating. At this time, the movement of the connecting portion 43 causes the conveyance guides 29 and 30 to move from the position indicated by the two-dot chain line to the position indicated by the solid line. The discharge sides of the conveyance guides 29 and 30 that have moved are opposed to the entrance of the groove 48 of the stopped drum 47. In this state where the drum 47 starts to wind up the journal, it waits for the slip journal to be conveyed (n3). When the slip journal passes through the conveyance guide 27 by the conveyance roller 19 and tension roller 25, the journal detection sensor 28 is turned on. After the journal detection sensor 28 is turned on, the tip of the slip journal is in the groove 4.
8, the drum 47 remains at the slip journal winding start position. After a certain period of time has elapsed from when the journal detection sensor 28 is turned on until the insertion of the slip journal is completed (n4), the solenoid 50 is turned off (n5). solenoid 5
0 is turned off, the stop lever 42 returns from the position indicated by the dashed line to the position indicated by the solid line due to the action of the return spring 52. That is, the engagement between the notch portion 49 and the engagement piece 44 is released, and the conveyance guides 29, 30 are rotated from the position indicated by the solid line to the position indicated by the two-dot chain line, and are directed in the slip journal winding and carrying direction. When the notch portion 49 and the locking piece 44 are disengaged, the rotation of the drum 47 is restarted, and the drum 47 rotates approximately once in order to wind the slip journal. After the time for winding the journal on the drum 47 has elapsed, the main motor 20 is turned off (n7), and the process of starting winding of the slip journal on the drum 47 is completed.

Thereafter, each time a transaction occurs, the drum 47 is driven to wind up the printed slip journal.

(f) Effect of the invention As described above, according to this invention, the rotation of the rotary drum is stopped at the start of winding, and the discharge direction of the journal introduction path is regulated to face the entrance of the groove of the rotary drum. As a result, the leading end of the journal is smoothly carried into the groove, and the journal can be automatically wound around the rotating drum.
Furthermore, automation of the slip issuing machine can be realized with a simple and inexpensive configuration that only requires regulating means for regulating the rotating drum and the journal introduction path.
