Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (a) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a passbook processing machine that handles a passbook as a medium of transaction, such as an automatic teller machine used for banking business. The present invention relates to a passbook processing machine provided with a passbook entrance / exit for taking in and returning to a passbook processing unit of a processing machine body.

(B) Conventional technology Devices that handle passbooks, such as the automated teller machines described above, usually detect when a customer has inserted a passbook at the entry / exit of the passbook and take it into the processing machine for transaction processing in the passbook processing unit. The necessary items are printed and returned to the passbook entrance / exit for the customer to take out.

(C) Problems to be solved by the device By the way, if the width of the passbook entry / exit where the passbook is inserted / removed is not wide enough for the passbook entry / exit, the passbook will be caught near the passbook entry / exit when the device is returned, and the device will be down due to the passbook jam. Occur. Therefore, the width of the passbook entrance is usually wider than the passbook width, and in order to compensate for this, a biasing mechanism is built in, and the inserted passbook is positioned after it is taken in. That is, if the width of the passbook entrance / exit is widened, the passbook is inserted at various angles and positions. Therefore, if the passbook is directly conveyed to the passbook processing unit, it becomes difficult to print or read the bar code in the passbook processing unit. It regulates the passbook in place.

However, there is a limit to how much the inserted passbook can be aligned and positioned, and there are various angular deviations and positional deviations of the inserted passbook as described above, and if these deviations and deviations are large. Even if it is a one-sided mechanism, it can not be covered,
Similarly, it was linked to equipment down.

In this way, the conventional passbook processing machine has a contradictory problem that it is desired to make the passbook entrance / exit wide in order to eliminate the passbook jam at the time of return, but it is desired that the passbook entry / exit is narrow for the one-sided insertion at the time of insertion. .

(D) Means for Solving Problems The present invention is characterized by a passbook processor having a slide plate and a slide plate drive mechanism that narrows the width of the entrance and exit of the passbook entrance and exit, and widens it when returning the passbook. And

(E) Function According to this invention, when the customer inserts the passbook, the slide plate is made narrower in accordance with the passbook entrance width,
On the contrary, when the passbook is returned, the slide plate moves backward to make the width of the passbook entrance / exit sufficiently wider than the passbook width.

(F) Effect of the invention Therefore, the passbook to be inserted has a narrow passbook entry / exit, and as a result, angular deviation and positional deviation at the time of insertion can be suppressed.
After the insertion, the one-sided displacement becomes easy, and the one-sided displacement mechanism itself can be omitted. Furthermore, when returning, it is possible to avoid the situation where the passbook is clogged because of the wide entrance and exit of the passbook.

(G) Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a passbook entrance / exit of a passbook processing machine. The passbook entrance / exit 2 is opened on the front surface of the processing machine main body 1, and the passbook loading table 3 is attached to the passbook entrance / outlet in a state of protruding outward.

The width of the entrance / exit of the passbook entrance / exit 2 is made sufficiently larger than the width of the passbook entrance / exit, and the slide plate 4 is provided on the back side of the passbook entrance / exit 2 on one side on the inner side of the apparatus body 1 close to the opening. To be done.

The slide plate 4 projects from one side of the passbook entrance / exit 2, and the sliding action thereof allows the width of the passbook entrance / exit to be varied widely, and a slide plate drive mechanism 5 for this purpose is provided. This slide plate drive mechanism 5 normally slides the slide plate 4 in the direction of narrowing the entrance / exit width as shown by the solid line in FIG. 2, and when the passbook is returned, the slide plate 4 is moved in reverse to widen the passbook entrance / exit width. work.

The slide plate drive mechanism 5 meshes a pinion 6 rotated by a forward / reverse rotation motor M with a rack 7 formed on the slide plate 4, while the slide plate 4 is provided with upper and lower guide members 8 and 9.
The slide plate is driven by the rotation of the pinion 6. Also slide plate 4
A protrusion 10 is provided on each switch, and each protrusion 10
The forward / reverse rotation motor M is stopped when it contacts SW1 and SW2. Therefore, the slide stroke of the slide plate 4 corresponds to the distance between the switches SW1 and SW2.

S1 is a sensor that detects a passbook passing through the passport entrance / exit 2.

The operation of the mechanism thus constructed will be described with reference to the flow chart of FIG. 3. Normally, when a customer inserts a passbook into the entrance / exit 2, this is detected by the sensor.
S1 detects and takes in a passbook and performs a predetermined passbook process. When this passbook is inserted, the slide plate 4 is the passbook entrance / exit 2.
Is at a position where the width of is narrowed (steps n1 and n2).

When the above passbook processing is completed, the forward / reverse rotation motor M is normally rotated, and the slide plate 4 is slid in a direction to widen the width of the passbook entrance / exit 2, whereby the forward / reverse rotation motor M is stopped as the switch SW2 is turned on. (Steps n3, n4, n5).

In this way, the passbook is returned with the width of the passbook entrance / exit 2 widened, and when the sensor S1 detects the return, the forward / reverse rotation motor M
Reversely, the slide plate 4 slides again in the direction of narrowing the passbook entrance / exit 2, and the switch M1 detects the completion of the slide to stop the motor M and prepare for the next passbook insertion (steps n6, n7, n8). , n9, n10).

In this way, when the passbook is inserted, the width of the passbook entrance / exit 2 is narrow, so that the passbook simplifies the post-take-up process until the take-in is performed with the insertion angle and the insertion position being constantly regulated. . Further, since the width of the passbook entrance / exit 2 is widened when the passbook is returned, there is no catch, and therefore a passbook jam does not occur.

In the correspondence between the configuration of the present invention and the above-described embodiment, the processor main body of the present invention is similar to the processor main body 1 of the embodiment in the same manner as below. Corresponds to the slide plate 4, and the slide plate drive mechanism corresponds to the slide plate drive mechanism 5, but the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment.
