Description

Detailed Description of the Invention Background of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for conveying and winding a strip of roll paper, film, etc. It relates to a device for conveying and winding.

Conventional devices of this type are provided with a feed button for feeding printing paper, etc. while the button is pressed, and an autoload button for automatically winding up the loaded printing paper, etc. Users were required to select one of the buttons depending on their purpose. However, these two
There was a problem in which the wrong button was selected due to two buttons being placed close to each other or due to misunderstanding.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This invention provides a system that allows the feed and autoload functions to be commanded with a single button and automatically selects one of the functions, which is easy to operate and prevents malfunctions. The present invention provides a conveyance and winding device that can perform the following tasks.

The conveyance and winding device for a strip of paper, film, etc. according to the present invention includes a feed, an autoload switch, a loading position for a strip of paper, film, etc., and a winding position where a take-up roll is provided. a conveyance path provided in between, a conveyance drive device that conveys the strip from a loading position to a winding position, a take-up drive device that rotates the take-up roll and winds the strip, and necessary locations on the conveyance path. When the sensor that detects the presence of the band-shaped body and the switch input are turned on, if the detection signal of the sensor detects presence, the sensor drives both of the drive devices while the switch input is on. Feed mode control means for conveying the strip and winding it around the winding roll, and when the switch input is turned on, if the sensor does not detect a detection signal, first the sensor detects the strip. The conveyance drive device is driven to convey the strip in the direction of the take-up roll until the body is detected, and then, after the sensor detects the strip, both drive devices are driven for a predetermined time required for loading. The invention is characterized in that it includes autoload mode control means for winding up the strip by the winding roll.

If a strip of roll paper, film, etc. is present at the position of the sensor when an input is received from the switch, it is determined that it is a feed, and while the switch is pressed, both of the drive devices are driven. , a feed operation is performed to continue feeding and winding the strip. Furthermore, if the belt-like object is not detected by the sensor, it is not determined that autoloading is being performed, and the transport drive device is first driven to transport the belt-like object, and then both drive devices are driven together. Then, the strip is wound up by the winding roll. When the predetermined time required for this loading has elapsed, the autoloading operation automatically ends. Therefore, the user only has to turn on one switch, and either the feed or autoload operation is performed depending on the condition of the strip, making the operation easy and preventing erroneous operations. . Furthermore, since only one switch is required, the installation space is small and the configuration is simple.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS In this embodiment, the present invention is applied to a printing machine in an automatic transaction processing device.

In FIG. 1, a journal J conveyance path 1 is provided between a journal (print paper) J loading device and a winding position where a winding roll 2 is provided. This conveyance path 1 is composed of conveyance pulleys or rolls, belts hung over these pulleys at appropriate locations, guide plates, and the like. Pulleys and the like on the conveyance path 1 are driven by a conveyance motor M1. This conveyance path 1
A printer P for printing predetermined transaction data on the journal J is provided above. A journal break detector S1 is provided between the loading position of the journal J and the printer P, and a journal presence/absence detector S2 is provided between the printer P and the take-up roll 2. The winding roll 2 is formed with a groove 4 into which the tip of the journal J is inserted for autoloading. In addition, in order to detect when the groove 4 of the winding roll 2 has reached a position suitable for autoloading, a protrusion 3 provided at the end of the roll 2 and an autoloading position detector S that detects the protrusion 3 are also provided.
3 are provided. The take-up roll 2 is driven by a take-up motor M2. Feed/autoload button switch (SW) for commanding journal J feed and autoload.
1) is provided.

FIG. 2 shows a control procedure for journal feed and autoload. This control controls the printing machine or is located in the transaction processing device.
Executed by CPU.

Feed/auto load button switch SW
When 1 is pressed (step 11), it is checked whether the journal presence/absence detector S2 is detecting the journal J (step 12). If the journal J is detected by the detector S2, the feed mode is set, and if it is not detected, the autoload mode is set.

In the feed mode, since a portion of the journal J has already been wound onto the winding roll 2, both drive motors M1 and M2 are driven (steps 13 and 14). As a result, the journal J is sent along the conveyance path 1 at a constant speed and wound onto the roll 2. This operation continues while the switch SW1 is on, and when the switch SW1 is turned off, the driving of both motors M1 and M2 is stopped (steps 15 to 17).

In the autoload mode, the take-up motor M2 is first driven to rotate the take-up roll 2 (step 21). When the detector S3 detects the protrusion 3, the take-up roll has reached the autoload position, so the drive of the motor M2 is stopped (steps 22 and 23). Journal J
The distal end portion thereof hangs over a part of the conveying section 1.
Since the transport motor M1 is driven (step 2)
4), Journal J is sent along conveyance path 1.
When the leading end of the journal J passes the printer P and reaches the detector S2, a journal detection signal is output from the detector S2 (step 25).
The journal J is further fed and its leading end enters the groove 4 of the take-up roll 2. After a certain period of time (the time required for the journal J to enter the groove 4) has elapsed since the journal was detected by the detector S2,
The winding motor M2 is driven and the winding roll 2 rotates, so that the journal J is wound onto the roll 2 (step 27). When a certain period of time required for rotating the journal J has elapsed (step 28), both motors M1 and M2 are stopped (steps 16 and 17).
