Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a passbook printing apparatus having a passbook issuing function, and particularly when a passbook in use is full of printing space, The present invention relates to a device suitable for discharging a bankbook and a new bankbook in an overlapping manner.

[Prior Art] This type of passbook printer is incorporated in an automated teller machine, etc., and when a carryover occurs due to the printing space of the passbook being used becoming full, that is, when the passbook In some cases, when an update occurs, a new passbook is issued by the passbook issuing function, the carry-over data is printed on the new passbook, and then the new passbook and the old passbook are discharged in an overlapping manner. Prior art of such a passbook printing apparatus is disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. 57-178580 and 60-86668.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, in the prior art described above, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 57-17
Japanese Patent No. 8580 does not take into consideration that the old and new passbooks are collected when the customer forgets to take them.
Although JP-A-60-86668 discloses merely recovering, it does not describe how to specifically recover.

So, if the customer forgets to get the old and new passbooks,
It is easy to automatically take in new passbooks in piles and collect them in a collection box. However, if this is done, the transport path must be enlarged over the entire length so that two passbooks can be transported. However, there is a problem that the device becomes large in size.

In view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, an object of the present invention is to release passbooks in piles, and to prevent the customer from forgetting to take out the passbooks without overlapping them, and without increasing the size of the device. An object of the present invention is to provide a passbook printing device capable of discharging and recovering.

[Means for Solving the Problem] In the passbook printing apparatus of the present invention, when a carry-over occurs in an entrance / exit, a transport path communicated with the entrance / exit, and a first passbook inserted from the entrance / exit. An issuing unit that supplies the second passbooks to the transport path, a data processing unit that processes data for the first and second passbooks, and detects a carry-over that has occurred in the first passbooks; Provided on the entrance side and the exit side of the conveyance path, a page changing unit for turning a desired page of the passbook, a collection box for the passbook, and when the data processing unit detects the carryover of the first passbook, The control section is provided with a means for forming a stock section capable of stocking the two passbooks in a stacked state, and the control section, wherein the control section stores the first and second passbooks in the first passbook. Shift the first passbooks from the second passbooks toward the entrance and exit with a proper distance. A means for superposing the second passbooks below the second passbooks, a means for discharging the superposed first and second passbooks as they are to the entrance / exit, and a case of forgetting to take out the discharged first and second passbooks, A means for taking both passbooks into the stock section in the same positional relationship, and collecting the first and second passbooks taken into the stock section from the second passbook in the collection box via the transport path in order. And means.

[Operation] When the first passbooks are inserted into the entrance / exit, the passbooks are conveyed on the conveyance path, and the predetermined processing is executed by passing through the data processing unit and the page changing unit, so that carry-over does not occur. In this case, the first passbooks are discharged to the entrance / exit.

However, when a carryover occurs in the first passbooks, the stock portion is formed by the stock portion forming means provided on the entrance / exit side of the transport path, and the control portion operates. That is, the control unit causes the first passbooks that are repeatedly generated by the superposing means,
The second passbooks supplied from the issuing unit and processed by the data processing unit and the page changing unit are moved from the second passbooks to the entrance / exit from the stock unit by a distance l. The first passbooks are positioned on the lower side and superposed on each other, and then the superposed first and second passbooks are discharged to the entrance / exit as they are.

As a result, the customer can receive the first and second passbooks, and since the first and second passbooks are displaced by the distance l as described above, the first and second passbooks can be received. As a result of being able to see two books, it is possible to prevent forgetting to take passbooks.

If the first and second passbooks released are forgotten, the first and second passbooks are fetched into the stock unit by the fetching means of the control unit, and then the first and second passbooks are fetched by the collecting unit. The passbooks of the above are sequentially collected from the second passbook into the collection box. Therefore, since the first and second passbooks that have been taken into the stock section are sequentially collected, it is not necessary to make the entire conveyance path as thick as two passbooks, and there is no need to increase the size of the device. Both can be reliably collected.

24 and.

The entrance / exit 2 is for a customer to insert and receive a passbook, and is formed in a tubular shape. The transport path 3
As shown in FIG. 2, it is formed by an upper paper guide 4 and a lower paper guide 5, and its tip is connected to the inlet / outlet 2. Further, since the passbook is sandwiched at a desired position on the transport path 3 and transported in the transport direction, it is used for driving the upper roller 6 provided on the upper paper guide 4 side and for the driven provided on the lower paper guide 5 side. The lower roller 7 is provided.

As shown in FIG. 1, when the passbook 1 inserted from the entrance / exit 2 is carried over, the issuing unit 8 supplies a new passbook 1'stored in advance to the transport path 3, In the embodiment, in order to increase the number of new passbooks 1'to be stored, the new passbooks 1'are installed at the front and rear two places of the transport path 3.

The data processing unit 9 processes data for the passbook 1 inserted from the entrance / exit 2 and the new passbook 1'supplied by the issuing unit 8 and detects a carry-over that occurs in the passbook 1 inserted from the entrance / exit 2. I am trying. That is, the data processing unit 9 is arranged at an intermediate position of the transport path 3, and a reader 10 for reading the data of the passbooks 1 and 1'and a magnetic stripe head for reading and writing data to the magnetic stripes of the passbook. 11 and a print head 13 that prints data on a passbook by driving the drive mechanism 12.
0, 11, 13 process the respective data of the passbook, and the heads 10, 11 read the respective data of the passbook to detect the carry-over of the passbook.

The page changing section 14 has a page-rolling roller 15, and is designed to turn a desired page of a passbook by the rotation of the page-rolling roller 15, and is installed between the print head 13 and the issuing section 8 on the conveying path 3. .

When the customer forgets to take out the passbook discharged to the entrance / exit 2, the collection box 16 collects the passbook through the conveyance path 3 and is installed on the side of the issuing unit 8 at the rear of the conveyance path 3. Has been done.

When the passbook inserted from the entrance / exit 2 is carried forward, the stock portion forming means forms the stock portion 17 for stocking the passbook and the new passbook supplied from the issuing unit 8 in an overlapping state. It is a thing.

That is, as the means, the lower paper guide 5 of the transport path 3 is used.
A separation guide 18 formed by separating one end side which is the inlet / outlet 2 side of the lower paper guide 5 from the lower paper guide 5, and the separation guide 18 supported on the upper part of the one end side so as to be vertically movable, and the tip of the upper part. To support the shaft of the lower roller 6, and the other end of which is pivotally supported by a pin 19, a spring 21 for pulling the U-shaped link 20 downward, and a lower portion on one end side of the U-shaped link 20. And a solenoid 22 for connecting the movable shaft to and moving the U-shaped link 20 upward against the spring force of the spring 21. Then, normally, when the solenoid 22 is excited, the U-shaped link 20 is pulled upward,
20 moves the separation guide 18 upward to the same plane as the lower paper guide 5, and the lower roller 7 on the separation guide 18 side passes through a cutout hole (not shown) of the separation guide 18 by the spring force of the leaf spring 23. When the passbooks inserted from the entrance / exit 2 are carried forward, the solenoid 22 is demagnetized and the spring 21 is spring-loaded. The U-shaped link 20 is pulled downward, and the lower roller 7 on the separation guide 18 side moves from the cutout hole of the separation guide 18 to the outside of the transport path 3 accordingly, so that the old passbook and the new passbook are overlapped. The stock part 17 that can be stocked together is formed. Therefore, the separation guide 18 is moved by an amount corresponding to the thickness of one passbook. The leaf spring 23
Is attached to a U-shaped link 20 as shown in FIG. 2, one end of which cooperates with the U-shaped link 20 to hold the support shaft of the lower roller 7, and the lower roller 7 is supported by a spring force. It is biased in the direction of the opposing upper roller. Reference numeral 23 'is a leaf spring which is attached to the lower paper guide 5 and holds the supporting shaft of the lower roller 7 on the lower paper guide 5 side. One end of the leaf spring urges the lower roller 7 toward the opposing upper roller 6 by a spring force. I am letting you.

The control unit 24 controls the upper and lower rollers 6 and 7, the issuing unit 8, the data processing unit 9, the page changing unit 14, and the solenoid 22 of the conveying path 3. Then, the control unit 24 shifts the old passbook 1 and the new passbook 1'which have been carried over by shifting the old passbook 1 by a proper distance l from the new passbook 1'to the entrance / exit 2 side and lowering the old passbook 1. The superimposing means for superimposing the old and new passbooks 1 and 1 ', and the ejecting means for directly ejecting the superposed old and new passbooks 1 and 1'to the entrance and exit 2, and the ejected old and new passbooks 1 and 1'are forgotten. When the old and new passbook 1,
It has a taking-in means for taking in 1'into the stock section 17, and a collecting means for taking out the taken-in old and new passbooks 1 1'in order from the new passbook 1'into the collection box 16.

More specifically, the stacking means sends the old passbook 1 to the stock unit 17 by the upper and lower rollers 6 and 7 of the conveying path 3 when the stock unit 17 is formed by carrying over the passbook 1. Thereafter, the new passbook 1'supplied from the issuing unit 8 is similarly sent to the stock unit 17, so that the old and new passbooks 1 and 1'are superposed as shown in FIG. At this time, the tips of the old and new passbooks 1 and 1'are displaced by the distance l as shown in FIG. The old and new passbooks 1 and 1'are provided in the data processing unit 9 and the page changing unit 14 respectively.
After the desired processing is executed by, it is sent to the stock section 17.

The discharging means is an old, new passbook 1,
When the 1's are superposed, the sensor 25 on the conveying path 3 detects the rear end of the new passbook 1 ', so that the solenoid 22 is excited and the separation guide 18 puts the old and new passbooks 1 and 1'on the upper paper. While pressing the guide 4 side, the lower roller 7 cooperates with the upper roller 6 to pinch the old and new passbooks 1 and 1 ', and the upper and lower rollers 6 and 7 rotate, so that the old and new passbooks are rotated. 1,
As shown in FIG. 3, 1'is discharged to the entrance / exit 2 while maintaining the positional relationship of the distance l. At that time, when the sensor 26 on the transport path 3 detects the trailing edge of the new passbook, the driving of the upper and lower rollers 6 and 7 is stopped, and the solenoid 22 is demagnetized.
The old and new passbooks 1 and 1'can be pulled out by the customer, while the rear parts of the old and new passbooks do not come off from the upper and lower rollers 6 and 7 on the entrance / exit 2 side so that they can be collected in case of emergency. Keep it.

When the customer forgets to release the old and new passbooks 1 and 1 ', that is, when the old and new passbooks 1 and 1'are left undisturbed for a certain period of time, the fetching means takes them on the transport path 3. When the sensor 27 on the entrance / exit 2 side of the above is detected, the solenoid 22 is excited and the upper and lower rollers 6 and 7 are driven so that the old and new passbooks 1 and 1'are taken into the original position of the stock section 17 as they are. I have to.

When the old and new passbooks 1 and 1'are taken into the stock section 17 again, the collecting means demagnetizes the solenoid 22, lowers the separation guide 18, and moves the lower roller 7 on the entrance / exit 2 side out of the conveying path 3. After that, by driving the upper and lower rollers 6 and 7, only the new passbook 1'is conveyed backward as shown in FIG. 4, then the solenoid 22 is excited and the separation guide 18 is moved up and down. The lower roller 7 on the outlet 2 side sandwiches the old passbook 1 with the upper roller 6 and drives the upper and lower rollers 6 and 7 again so that the old passbook 1 is conveyed backward and collected in the collection box 16. There is. Therefore, the old and new passbooks 1 and 1'are sequentially collected in the collection box 16.

Next, the operation of the passbook printing apparatus of the embodiment will be described.

When the passbook 1 is inserted into the entrance / exit 2, the passbook 1 is inserted into the transport path 3
Desired data is printed by being conveyed over and passing through the data processing unit 9, and is discharged to the entrance / exit 2 when carryover does not occur in the passbook.

However, when the passbook is carried over, the stock portion 17 is formed by the stock portion forming means provided on the entrance / exit 2 side of the transport path 3 to release the old and new passbooks.

That is, the control unit 24 shifts the old passbook brought forward by the superposing means and the new passbook supplied from the issuing unit 8 by shifting the old passbook in the stock unit 17 from the new passbook to the entrance / exit 2 side by a distance l. And put the old passbook down and stack it,
Then, the old and new passbooks that are superposed by the discharging means are discharged to the entrance / exit 2 as they are.

As a result, the customer can receive the old and new passbooks, and since the old and new passbooks are displaced by the distance l as described above, the two old and new passbooks can be visually recognized, and the passbook is forgotten. There is no fear.

If the old and new passbooks that were released are forgotten, the old and new passbooks are stored in the stock section by the control unit's importing means.
Then, the new and old passbooks are sequentially collected from the new passbook to the collection box 16 by the collecting means. Therefore, the stock section 17
Since the new and old passbooks that have been imported to the
It is not necessary to make the entire thickness of two passbooks, and it is possible to prevent the apparatus from increasing in size.

In the present invention, the specific structure of the stock portion forming means is not limited to the illustrated example, and the essential point is that it has a desired function. Further, although an example in which the old and new passbooks are closed by the page changing unit 14 is shown, the same effect can be obtained even if the old and new passbooks are released and collected while being opened.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, when a carryover occurs in the first passbooks inserted into the entrance / exit, the control unit causes the stock portion of the transport path to have the first and second portions. The first passbooks are moved closer to the entrance / exit than the second passbooks with a distance from the second passbooks, and the first passbooks are stacked below the second passbooks so that both passbooks are directly entered / exited. Since it is configured to release the passbooks, the customer can visually recognize the overlapping passbooks at the time of release, so that the passbooks can be prevented from being forgotten. Since it is configured to be taken into the stock section in the same positional relationship and to be sequentially collected from the second passbooks to the collection box, it is not necessary to make the entire conveyance path to the thickness of two passbooks. Reliable release and collection of passbooks without increasing the size There is an effect.
