Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] This is a page turning device that rotates the two rollers in the same rotation direction to turn the pages of a passbook inserted with its cover open between two opposing rollers. In order to prevent the passbook from moving and making page turning impossible when turning over the passbook, a clamp is provided to fix the passbook, thereby enabling stable page turning.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a page turning device for a passbook printer for a bank counter.

Recently, various automatic machines have been used to streamline bank counter operations, one of which is a passbook printer that prints transaction details on a passbook. This passbook printer has a built-in page turning device for printing on a desired page of the passbook.

[Conventional technology]

As shown in FIG. 4, a conventional passbook printer is provided with a conveyance path 2 from a passbook inlet/outlet 1, and in the middle thereof there are a printing section consisting of a page sensor 3, a print head 4, and a platen 5, two opposing rollers 6, and a conveyance path 2. It has a page turning mechanism 8 consisting of 7. The page turning operation in this page turning mechanism begins with the fifth page turning operation.
As shown in Figure a, the passbook 9 sent from direction A with the cover 9a open is sandwiched between two rollers 6 and 7, and the rollers 6 and 7 are rotated in the same direction to open the passbook. Then, the upper roller 6 bends the first page 9b into an arch shape, and the roller 6 is rotated to flip up the first page 9b as shown in FIG. This completes the page turn.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The conventional page turning method described above inevitably has the problem of turning over multiple pages at once. Therefore, from the state shown in Fig. 5a, the lower roller 7
A method has been considered in which the uppermost page is left behind and the others are returned to prevent multiple pages from being turned over.
There is a drawback that there are cases in which the page cannot be turned when the page is moved in the direction.

The present invention was created in view of these points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a page turning device that can turn pages with reliability.

[Means for solving problems]

For this reason, in the present invention, the passbook 9 having an inserted cover and a plurality of printed sheets is conveyed, stopped at a predetermined position, and the page turning function is to turn over the printed sheets of one of the opened bankbooks 9 with a center hold. In the device, an upper roller 6 that rotates while being in pressure contact with the printing paper surface of the bankbook 9 and a cover surface of the bankbook 9 that is opposed to the upper roller 6 across the conveyance path on which the bankbook 9 is conveyed are pressed. The rotating lower roller 7, the clamp 14 which can hold the other side of the passbook 9 opened with a center hold and release this grip, and the upper roller 6 check whether there is any printed paper turned over. a sensor 21 that detects the
9, and the control unit 19 rotates the upper and lower rollers 6 and 7 by a predetermined amount in the direction of sending the printing paper toward the center hold side with one end of the passbook 9 being clamped by the clamp 14. When the sensor 21 detects a page, the upper roller 6 performs a second sheet return operation, and then the upper and lower rollers 6 and 7 are rotated in the discharging direction to remove the page. The feature is that when the page is not detected, the page flip operation is performed again.

[Effect]

By providing the clamp 14 capable of fixing the passbook when turning the pages, the passbook does not move when turning the pages, thus making it possible to turn the pages reliably.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, an upper roller 6 and a lower roller 7 are provided in the middle of a conveyance path 2 for conveying a bankbook 9, and each roller is driven by a drive motor 1.
0 and 11, respectively, and the lower roller 7 is connected to the solenoid 1 with respect to the passbook 9.
2, it is possible to connect and separate. Furthermore, conveyance path 2
A clamp 14 is provided at the terminal end of the passbook 9 so that one end of the passbook 9 can be fixed or released by a solenoid 13. Also provided is a control section (microcomputer (CPU)) 19 that drives the drive motors 10, 11 and solenoids 12, 13 via drivers 15-18. Note that 20 is a sensor that checks whether the bankbook is skewed, and 21 is a sensor that checks whether there is a page that has been flipped up when the bankbook is turned over.

The operation of this embodiment configured in this way will be explained with reference to the operation explanatory diagram in FIG. 2 and the flowchart diagram in FIG. 3.

First, after checking the skew, draw the passbook to the automatic page turning (ATP) starting position, clamp the end of the passbook 9 with the clamp 14 as shown in Figure 2a, and rotate the upper roller 6 and lower roller 7 in the same rotation direction (counterclockwise). direction) to perform the first page turning operation. Next, as shown in FIG. 2b, the lower roller 7 is opened and the upper roller 6 performs a second turning operation.
Next, as shown in FIG. 2c, the lower roller 7 is closed and the clamp 14 is opened, and in this state, the upper roller 6 is rotated counterclockwise and the lower roller 7 is rotated clockwise to perform a flip-up operation. Next, when it is confirmed by the flip-up sensor 21 that the flip-up has been performed as shown in FIG. 2 d, the lower roller 7 is opened as shown in FIG. The eyes are returned, and then the lower roller 7 is closed as shown in FIG. This completes the turning process. Note that after the flip-up operation shown in Figure 2 c, if a flip-up failure is detected as shown in Figure 2 g, the flip-up operation is performed again as shown in Figure 2 h, and then the second return operation is performed as shown in Figure 2 i and j. After doing this, it is discharged.

In this embodiment, which is carried out as described above, the first and second
When performing the page turning operation, the bankbook 9 can be fixed with the clamp 14, so that the bankbook 9 does not move during the page turning operation and reliable page turning can be performed.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, by providing a clamp that can fix the passbook during page turning operation, the page turning operation can be ensured, the reliability of the page turning device can be improved, and it is possible to put it into practical use. It is extremely useful.
