Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain proper pressure-welding force even in covers having different rigidity by providing a changeover means changing over pressure-welding force to a page turn-over roller of a plurality of pressure rollers simultaneously and separately. CONSTITUTION:When the page turn-over operation of the surface and rear covers of a bankbook is conducted, cams 52a, 52b are turned at 90 deg. when a camshaft 53 is rotated at 90 deg. by exciting a plunger magnet 39 and driving a stepping motor, set pressure is applied to a cam roller 51, a cam lever 49 is revolved, a press spring 48 is compressed, and an arm 35 is pressed from the underside side. Consequently, the pressure-welding force of a pressure roller to a page turn-over roller 30 is increased. When magnetic stripes are stuck on the rear cover, only the pressure-welding force of the cam 52a is increased and only the pressure-welding force of the pressure roller 32 is augmented when the camshaft 53 is turned at 240 deg.. When the page turn-over operation of intermediate paper is performed, only the pressure-welding force of a pressure spring 41 is left when the camshaft 53 is left as it is positioned only at the origin.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

[Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a passbook handling device installed in a financial institution such as a bank, such as an automatic transaction device that performs deposit and withdrawal transactions by the operation of a customer or an operator. The present invention relates to an automatic page change mechanism for a passbook installed in a device.

0002

[Prior Art] In recent years, passbooks issued by financial institutions are
With the diversification of transaction contents, the number of pages is increasing and the formats are also diversifying in order to accommodate these diverse transactions in one passbook. Figure 4 is a perspective view showing the structure of a passbook that is commonly used in banks today for deposit and withdrawal transactions, etc. In the figure, 1 is a passbook, and this passbook 1 is made of a single piece of cardboard. A cover 2 and a plurality of sheets of inner paper 3 made of thinner paper than the cover 2 are stapled in a straight line at the center so as to be folded in half from the center, and the inner paper 3 is sandwiched in the center to form the cover 2. It has a booklet-like structure in which the booklet and inner paper 3 are folded. At this time, one side of the front side of the cover 2 folded in two with the center stitched center hold part 4 as a boundary is used as the front cover 2a and the other side as the back cover 2b.

[0003] Then, the cover 2 of this passbook 1 (front cover 2a
, back cover 2b) have magnetic stripe sections 5a, 5a, and 5a for storing transaction information at predetermined positions, respectively.
5b is attached. Further, on the back side of the front cover 2a, there is provided a place where a customer's seal is affixed, and a seal seal 6 is provided at the affixed position of the seal to cover this.
In addition, the seal affixing section 7 to which the seal seal 6 is attached is partially made thicker or coated with a special coating to make it easier to affix the seal seal 6. There is.

[0004] Next, a conventional automatic page break mechanism provided in an automatic transaction device or the like that handles the bankbook 1 will be explained. FIG. 5 is a schematic perspective view showing a conventional automatic page break mechanism, FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing a conventional page break operation for the front cover, FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing a conventional page break operation for inner pages, and FIG. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a conventional page change operation on the back cover. First, in FIG. 5, reference numeral 8 denotes a pair of page break rollers that contact the bankbook 1 from above, and 9 is a pressure roller arranged so as to face and press against the page break roller 8. The passbook 1 is held between the rollers 8 from above and below. 10 is a motor serving as a drive source for rotating both page feed rollers 8, 11 is a motor pulley provided coaxially with this motor 10, and 12 is this motor pulley 1.
This pulley transmits the rotational force of 1 to the page break roller 8 via the pulley belt 13, and is attached to one end of a page break roller shaft 14 that rotatably supports the page break roller 8.

Further, 15 is a separator, and a curved portion 15 has an outer diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the page break roller 8.
a at the lower end, and are arranged facing each other so as to surround the page break roller shaft 14 with the curved portion 15a as the center, and spread apart from the page break roller shaft 14 with the upper end (not shown) as a fulcrum. It has a structure that allows it to rotate in any direction.

A conventional page change operation with the above-described structure will be explained with reference to FIG. 5 and FIGS. 6 to 8. For example, when newly issuing a bankbook 1 having the above structure, the bankbook 1 is taken out from the bankbook storage section of a device (not shown), and printed on the front cover 2a, excluding the magnetic stripe section 5a, in the printing section, etc. The customer's name, account number, etc. are printed at this position. When the printing on the front cover 2a is completed, the passbook 1
is conveyed to the page break section, where the page break operation of the front cover 2a is first started.

When the passbook 1 is sent to the page break section, it is conveyed between the page break roller 8 and the pressure roller 9, and is pressed against the page break roller 8 by the pressing force F1 of the pressure roller 9, and is then moved by both rollers. Being pinched. Next, the motor 10 is started to drive, and the page feed roller 8 is rotated in the direction of the arrow in the figure via the motor pulley 11, pulley 12, pulley belt 13, and page feed roller shaft 14. As a result, Figure 6 (
As seen in a), the front cover 2a of the bankbook 1 is raised due to the frictional force between the outer peripheral surface of the page break roller 8 and the front cover 2a of the bankbook 1. Furthermore, by continuing to rotate the page feed roller 8,
As shown in the same figure (b), the front cover 2a is moved by the page break roller 8.
After flipping upward, the separator 15 is rotated using the upper end as a fulcrum so that the opposing lower ends are separated from each other, and the contact between the front cover 2a and the page break roller 8 is released. Next, as shown in FIG. 4C, the page break roller 8 and the pressure roller 9 are simultaneously rotated to convey the bankbook 1 in the direction of the arrow, to the left in the figure. As a result, the parts of the passbook 1 other than the front cover 2a, that is, all the inner sheets 3 and the back cover 2b, are conveyed in the direction of the arrow, and only the front cover 2a is prevented from contacting the page break roller 8 by the separator 15. No rotational force is applied in the direction of the arrow, and as a result, as the inner paper 3 and back cover 2b are transported, they are gradually opened.
Then, the page break is completed.

[0008] After the page change of the front cover 2a is completed, if it is necessary to print on the back side of the front cover 2a to which the seal seal 6 is pasted, the passbook 1 is sent to the printing section again, and a predetermined After the printing process is performed, a page break process is performed on the inner paper 3 in order to print the unrecorded information and the actual transaction details. The page break operation of the inner page 3 is basically as shown in FIG.
The page break operation is similar, and in the same figure (a), the page break roller 8
and the pressure roller 9, the page feed roller 8 is rotated to turn up the inner sheet 3, and as shown in FIG. As it flips upward, the contact with the page break roller 8 is released.Finally, the page break roller 8 and the pressure roller 9 are rotated simultaneously as shown in FIG. The page feed operation is completed by conveying the page.

[0009] However, at the time of the page change operation of the inner paper 3,
There is a slight difference from the above-described page break of the cover 2, which is the pressing force of the pressure roller 9 when the bankbook 1 is held between the page break roller 8 and the page break roller 8. In other words, in a typical passbook 1, the cover 2 and the inner paper 3 have different paper quality and thickness, and the cover 2 is usually thicker, so there is a difference in rigidity between the inner paper 3 and the pressure roller 9. It is necessary to change the pressure. Therefore, when making a page break on the inner paper 3, the pressing force is approximately half of that of the page breaking on the cover 2, that is, the pressing force F2=F1
/2.

[0010] When the page changing operation of the inner paper 3 is completed, the passbook 1 is again conveyed to the printing section, where the printing process of unrecorded information and the details of the transaction is performed. Furthermore, in the case of carrying over and printing such as time deposits, etc., the process moves to the bookkeeping process from the back cover 2b side. This printing process from the back cover 2b side is generally performed by once performing a closing operation to close the entire bankbook 1, then turning over the back cover 2b and printing on the inner paper 3. As shown in FIG. 8, the page break of the back cover 2b is such that the position of the bankbook 1 during the page break operation of the front cover 2a described above is symmetrical with respect to the page break roller 8, and The page change operation is almost the same as the page change operation for the front cover 2a, except that the direction of rotation is also reversed.

[0011] When the page changing operation of the back cover 2b is completed in this way, the bankbook 1 is sent to the printing section, where printing is performed on the inner paper 3.
When the specified printing is completed, passbook 1 is closed and front cover 2 is closed.
After magnetic information is recorded on the magnetic stripe portions 5a and 5b of the cover 2a and the back cover 2b, the paper is transported outside the apparatus, and the issuing process is completed.

0012

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] However, according to the above-mentioned conventional technology, when a page change operation is performed on the cover, the cover may or may not have a magnetic stripe, or may not have a magnetic stripe. The rigidity of the cover of a passbook differs depending on the presence or absence of a magnetic stripe and its setting position. In some cases, it was not possible to turn up the cover of this type of passbook. In order to solve this problem, the pressing force of the pressure roller is further strengthened so as to be able to cope with a cover with increased rigidity. However, if there is no magnetic stripe, the problem arises that the inner paper is turned up together with the cover.

Furthermore, when the product is issued to a customer, a seal seal is affixed to it, and the seal affixing part is reinforced or coated to make it easier to affix the seal, so that the seal is affixed to the seal as described above. It was not possible to solve the problem of page breaks occurring. The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and even if the rigidity of the cover varies depending on the presence or absence of a magnetic stripe and its position, or the presence or absence of a seal seal and its pasting process, it is possible to prevent page break failures. It is an object of the present invention to provide an excellent automatic page break mechanism capable of performing a certain page break operation with reliability without causing any occurrence of page break operations.

[0014]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention has a cover made of one piece of thick paper and a plurality of inner sheets made of thinner paper than the cover, which are bound in the center. A passbook that is folded in half to form a booklet so that the plurality of inner sheets are sandwiched in the center, and a plurality of page break rollers,
In the automatic page break mechanism in which the page break roller is held between a plurality of pressure rollers which are in pressure contact with each other and the page break rollers are rotated, a page break is performed by the frictional force between the page break roller and the passbook. A switching means is provided for simultaneously and individually switching the pressing force of a plurality of pressure rollers against the page break roller, and this switching means switches the pressing force of the pressure rollers at the time of page breaks for each of the cover and inner paper, and also switches the pressure of the pressure roller against the page break roller for each of the cover and inner sheets. The pressure contact force of each pressure roller is individually switched according to the stiffness of the roller.
The pressing force of the pressure roller corresponding to each page change operation is adjusted.

[0015]

[Operation] When performing a page break on the cover using the above configuration,
The pressure roller's pressure force is switched by a switching means so that the pressure force corresponds to the paper thickness of the cover sheet, and at the same time, the pressure roller is pressed with a pressure force different from that used when changing pages, and at the same time, magnetic stripes and In cases where seal stickers are affixed, the pressure roller placed at the position corresponding to the affixed position should be adjusted according to the presence or absence of these affixed stickers and the affixed position, and the pressure contact force of other pressure rollers. are made different and switched individually so that the pressure contact force matches the rigidity of each cover. As a result, the pressure roller can switch the pressure contact force depending on the difference between the cover and inner paper, or the presence or absence and position of a magnetic stripe or seal sticker on the cover, so it is possible to obtain an appropriate pressure contact force for each page break, and Page defects are prevented.

[0016]

It will be transported here and published.

Next, the automatic page break mechanism according to this embodiment, which constitutes the page break section 27, will be explained with reference to FIG. In FIG. 1, 30 is attached to the page break roller shaft 31 at predetermined intervals.
These are individually arranged page break rollers, and have a structure that can be rotated by a driving force from a drive source via a page break roller shaft 31 etc., as in the conventional case. Reference numeral 32 denotes a pressure roller that is disposed opposite to the lower surface of the two page break rollers 30, and is pressed against the page break roller 30 by a pressure mechanism described below. 33 is a pulley fixed to one side of this pressure roller 32, and these pair of rollers 32 and 33 are connected to the shaft 3.
4 is rotatably supported at one end of each arm 35. A link 36 is connected to a spring stud 37 provided on the other end side of both arms 35 through an elongated hole 38, and is slidably supported by a snap ring or the like (not shown). A plunger magnet 39 is attached to one end of the link 36, and by exciting the plunger magnet 39, the arm 35 is rotated via the link 36. A spring post 40 projects from below the link 36 in the same direction as the spring stud 37. A pressure spring 41 is installed between the spring stud 37 and the spring post 40, which is linked by the operation of the plunger magnet 39. Energize the operation of 36.

Reference numeral 42 denotes an arm shaft that passes through and supports the vicinity of the other end of the arm 35 via a bearing 43, and is connected to the other arm 35 on which the plunger magnet 39 is not provided.
This serves as a pivot point for the arm 35, which is rotated by the excitation of the arm 35. 44 is a pulley arranged inside each arm 35 with this arm shaft 42 as the central axis;
The belt 4 is connected between the pulley 33 supported on one end side.
5 is stretched, and the rotational force of the arm shaft 36 is transmitted to the pressure roller 32 via this belt 45. 46 is a lever whose one end is attached to the approximate center of the link 36 via a rivet 47, and a shaft 48 passes through the other end of this lever 46, and is connected to the other end of the other lever 46. The operation of the plunger magnet 39 is transmitted to the other link 36 and arm 35 that do not have the plunger magnet 39. The above-described structure constitutes a pressure mechanism that presses the pressure roller 32 against the page break roller 30, and the plunger magnet 39
When the suction operation is performed, the arm 35 rotates about the arm shaft 42, and the pressure roller 32 provided at one end of the arm 35 approaches the page break roller 30.

Next, a description will be given of a pressing force switching means for switching the pressing force of the pressure mechanism, that is, the pressing force of the pressure roller 32 against the page feed roller 30. Reference numeral 48 denotes a press spring that is placed in pressure contact with the lower surface of both arms 35, and each of the press springs 48 is attached to one end of a cam lever 49, and these cam levers 49 are rotatably supported by a cam lever shaft 50. It is connected and supported. Further, a cam roller 51 is rotatably attached to the substantially center portion of the cam lever 49 by a rivet 52, and cams 52a and 52b each formed in a predetermined shape are attached to the lower part of the cam roller 51. It is arranged so as to be in contact with the peripheral surface of the
Both cams 52a and 52b are connected and supported by a camshaft 53. When this camshaft 53 is rotationally driven by a drive source such as a motor (not shown),
Both cams 52a and 52b rotate together with the camshaft 53, causing the cam lever 49 to rotate about the camshaft 53 via the cam roller 51, and the rotation of the cam lever 49 causes the press spring 48 disposed at one end of the cam lever 49 to rotate. The arm 35 is lifted up to apply external pressure to the arm 35 from below.

Reference numeral 54 denotes a disk-shaped sensor disk attached to the camshaft 53, and has a notch 54a in a part of its outer peripheral edge. Reference numeral 55 denotes a light receiving/emitting type detection sensor arranged so as to sandwich a part of this sensor disk 54, and by detecting the notch 54a, a cam 52a arranged coaxially with the sensor disk 54 is detected. , 52b are detected. A stepping motor (not shown) is connected to the camshaft 53, and the pressure applied to the arm 35 by the press spring 48 is variable depending on the amount of rotation of the stepping motor, that is, the rotation angle, and the pressure applied to the arm 35 by the pressure roller 32 is applied to the page break roller 30. The pressure contact force can be changed. As described above, a pressure contact force switching means capable of switching the pressure contact force of the pressure mechanism is constructed, and this pressure contact force switching means and the pressure mechanism constitute the automatic page break mechanism of the present application that can accommodate a plurality of diversified types of passbooks. ing.

Furthermore, the two cams 52a and 52b disposed in the pressure contact force switching means have cam curves of different shapes, and one example is the cam curves of the cams 52a and 52b shown in FIG. The curve will be explained using FIG. 2. The cam curve shown in FIG.
(disposed on the front side in FIG. 1 and has the plunger magnet 39 at the lower end of the link 36), and the other cam 52b (disposed on the back side in FIG. 1 and has the plunger magnet 39 at the lower end of the link 36) downward These two cams 52a and 52b are each shaped to switch the pressure of the press spring 48 in two stages. In addition, the position where the camshaft 53 rotates and stops when the detection sensor 55 detects the notch 54a of the sensor disk 54 is shown in (A) in the figure, and this is the origin 0.
Assuming that the pressing force of the press spring 48 is
The configuration is such that it does not affect the

To explain the operation of the cams 52a and 52b with the above configuration, first, the front cover 2a or the back cover 2 of the passbook 1 is
When performing the page break operation in b, use the plunger magnet 39.
At the same time, a stepping motor (not shown) is driven by a predetermined amount (predetermined angle) to move the camshaft 53 to the origin 0.
Rotate it by 90 degrees. As a result, the cams 52a, 52
b is also rotated 90 degrees to the position (b) in Figure 2, and this 9
Pressure set at the 0° position is applied to the cam roller 51, and the cam lever 49, which fixes the cam roller 51, rotates counterclockwise in the figure using the cam lever shaft 50 as a fulcrum, moving one end upward, and pressing the press spring. 48 and pressurizes the arm 35 from the lower surface side. Therefore, the pressing force of the pressure roller 32 disposed at the tip end side of the arm 35 against the page break roller 30 increases. At this time, if the magnetic stripe 5a is attached to the front cover 2a of the bankbook 1, for example, the stepping motor is further driven to rotate the camshaft 53 by 240 degrees from the origin 0, as shown in FIG. 2 (d). When rotated to the position, the cam 52
The pressing force of only the cam 52a on one side of the cams 52a and 52b increases, and only the press spring 48 receiving the pressing force from the cam 52a (the press spring located on the near side in FIG. 1) is further compressed. Only the pressing force of the pressure roller 32 attached to the arm 35 corresponding to the press spring 48 increases.

Similarly, if the rotation angle of the camshaft 53 and the cams 52a and 52b is set to 190°, and the position (c) shown in FIG. The one corresponding to (the press spring 48 located at the back in FIG. 1) is compressed more strongly,
The pressure roller 32 also corresponds to this cam 52b.
Only the contact force increases. In addition, in the case of a page change operation for the inner sheet 3, if the camshaft 53 is left at the origin 0, the press spring 48 will not be compressed, and only the pressing force of the pressure spring 41 will be generated when the plunger magnet 39 is excited. .

Next, based on the switching operation of the pressure contact force described above, the page change operation in this embodiment will be explained by adding the schematic configuration diagram of the passbook certificate issuing device shown in FIG. 3 to FIGS. I will explain it together. When a passbook issuance command is issued from a higher-level device (not shown) to the passbook certificate issuing device that stores multiple types of passbooks 1 and certificates in the passbook storage section 20 and the certificate storage section 22, the passbook 1 corresponding to the issuance command is issued. One book is fed out from the passbook storage section 20 to the conveyance path 21.
1 is conveyed toward the processing section 23 in the upper part of the device, and sent to the magnetic stripe read/write section 24, where it is confirmed whether or not the unrolled passbook 1 corresponds to the issuing instruction. When it is confirmed that the passbook 1 corresponds to the issuance instruction, it is conveyed to the printing section 25, where the customer's name, account number, etc. are printed on the front cover 2a. After this, in order to print information such as unrecorded notes and transaction details on the inner paper 3, it is first necessary to turn over the front cover 2a, so the passbook 1 is conveyed to the page break section 27 equipped with the automatic page break mechanism. Ru. If a magnetic stripe 5a is set on the front cover 2a side of the passbook 1 conveyed to the page break section 27 as shown in FIG. This means that the area corresponding to the roller 32 has increased rigidity. Therefore, the tension of the press spring 48 by exciting the plunger magnet 39 of the pressure mechanism and the camshaft 53 of the pressing force switching means are adjusted by 240 degrees.
By rotating, the press spring 48 is attached to the pressure roller 32 (on the near side in FIG. 1) corresponding to the cam 52a.
Apply maximum contact force of .

In this state, if the page feed operation shown in FIG. 6 is performed using the page feed roller 30 as in the conventional case, since the pressing forces of the two pressure rollers 32 are different, the two rollers will not come into contact with each other. It is possible to apply a corresponding pressure contact force depending on the rigidity state of the passbook 1 in the position where the magnetic stripe 5a is attached, and page breaks can be made only on the front cover 2a without causing malfunction. . After the page break of the cover 2a is completed in this way, the camshaft 53
returns to the origin. After this, the bankbook 1 is transferred to the page/line detection sensor section 2.
6, the passbook 1 is passed through here to confirm the printing start position on the inner paper 3, and the passbook 1 is again conveyed to the printing unit 25 for printing processing, but at this time, the inner paper 3 If a page change is necessary, the camshaft 53 executes the page change operation only by the pressing pressure of the pressure spring 41 caused by the excitation of the plunger magnet 39 while remaining in the original position. Front cover 2
When the printing from the side a is completed and there is printing from the back cover 2b, the bankbook 1 is temporarily closed, and the page break section 27 again performs a page break for the back cover 2b. Note that the operation of the camshaft 53 at this time is such as to increase the pressure contact force of the pressure roller 32 corresponding to the case where the magnetic stripe 5b is attached to the back cover 2b, as in the case of the front cover 2a. It is sufficient to set the camshaft 53 to 190°.
By rotating it, the maximum pressing force of the press spring 48 is applied to the pressure roller 32 (on the back side in FIG. 1) corresponding to the cam 52b. When all of the information to be printed has been printed in this way, the passbook 1 is transported to the magnetic stripe read/write unit 24, and after writing magnetic information on the magnetic stripes 5a and 5b, it is discharged to the stacker 28.
The issuance process ends.

[0027]

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, a passbook is made into a booklet by binding a cover made of thick paper and a plurality of inner sheets made of paper thinner than the cover in the center. An automatic machine that rotates the plurality of page break rollers by sandwiching them from above and below between a plurality of page break rollers and a plurality of pressure rollers that are pressed against the rollers, and uses the frictional force to break the pages of the cover and inner pages. In the page break mechanism, a switching means is provided for simultaneously and individually switching the pressure contact force of the plurality of pressure rollers to the page break roller, and this switching means controls the pressure roller's pressure at the time of a page break for the cover page and at the time of a page break for the inner sheet. In addition to switching the pressure contact force, the pressure contact force of each pressure roller is individually switched in accordance with the partial rigidity of the cover, and the pressure contact force of the pressure roller corresponding to each page feed operation is adjusted. Therefore, even if a magnetic stripe is affixed to a part of the cover and there is a difference in stiffness in some parts of the cover, the pressing force is applied to each pressure roller at the corresponding position depending on the condition of each cover. Since it can be switched individually, it is possible to obtain the appropriate pressing force for each cover, not only for the difference between the cover and inner paper, but also for covers with different rigid parts. It is possible to prevent page break failures such as when the pages are turned with strong pressure, the inner paper is also turned over, or when the pages are turned with weak pressure applied to weakly rigid parts, the cover is not turned. become.

[0028] In addition to the magnetic stripe, seal stickers and various stickers depending on the institution used may be affixed, or special processing may be applied to the affixing position to make it easier to affix these stickers. There is no problem if the position is defined and the pressing force of the pressure roller at the corresponding position is changed. Furthermore, by using a stepping motor for the rotational driving force of the camshaft that supports the cam of the switching means, the pressure contact force can be set even at the change point of the cam curve, and subtle differences due to the paper quality of the cover and inner paper can be set. It can also handle page breaks. Even if there is no difference in rigidity on the cover due to the attachment of the magnetic stripe, for example, as shown in Figure 2, the camshaft can be rotated from the origin 0 to 315 degrees, or reversed from the origin 0 to 45 degrees, and the respective pressures can be adjusted. By providing a difference in the pressing force of the rollers, a separation effect is produced and the page feed operation becomes more stable.
