Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Outline] An inclined portion is provided on the flip-up member, and the medium is flipped up by the inclined portion to ensure page turning.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a bookkeeping machine used in the financial industry such as a bank, and more particularly to a page turning mechanism for turning a page of an inserted passbook.

Recently, in the financial industry, an automatic cash handling system has been adopted to save labor in window operations.
Automatic teller machines, or automatic teller machines having both functions, are widely used.

Some of such devices have a passbook processing function of immediately completing the entry of a passbook on the spot where the user makes a cash refund or a deposit and returns it to the user.

These devices having a passbook processing function are provided with an automatic page-turning mechanism for turning a passbook to a desired page, and it is desired that page turning is performed reliably.

[Conventional technology]

As shown in the front view of FIG. 3 (a) and the side view of FIG. 3 (b), the passbook 1 is generally a thick hard cover sheet 1a and a plurality of inner sheets
1b, and a cover 1a covers the inside paper 1b and is bound together.

On the other hand, such an automatic page turning mechanism for turning pages of the passbook 1 has a structure as shown in FIGS. 4 (a) to 4 (d).

That is, the operator inserts the passbook 1 in the direction of the arrow A along the guide plate 5 first with the page opening section in which the passbook 1 is closed as shown in FIG.

At this time, the pressing member 7 projecting to the pathway 2 that constitutes the bending means 16 of the passbook 1 is pulled by the coil spring 12 and retracted from the pathway 2.

Therefore, the inserted passbook 1 is in the direction of arrow A due to the rotation of the feed roller 3, the pinch roller 3 ′, and the pressing roller 9 (which is interlocked with the feed roller 3 by a belt (not shown), etc.) in pressure contact with the turning roller 8. And is stopped at a predetermined position by being detected by a sensor or the like (not shown).

At this time, the turning roller 8 made of a member having a high friction coefficient such as rubber is freely rotated by friction with the passbook 1.

Next, when the plunger magnet 13 is driven and one end of the lever 14 is pulled in the direction of arrow C, the lever 14 rotates about the fulcrum 15 and the pressing member 7 is moved against the bias of the coil spring 12. It projects into the pathway 2 as indicated by an arrow D shown in FIG.

Due to the protrusion of the pressing member 7, the passbook 1 is curved in the direction of the turning roller 8 to prepare for the turning operation by the turning roller 8 (pre-curving).

When the turning roller 8 is rotated in the direction of arrow E, the passbook 1 pressed by the pressing roller 9 due to the rotational friction of the top cover, for example, the cover (hereinafter referred to as medium) 1a, swells up and the guide plate Push up 6.

When the turning roller 8 continues to rotate further, FIG.
At the end, the tip of the medium 1a pops up and the photo sensor 10
And the gap between the repelling members 11 enters.

Then, the photo sensor 10 detects this, and based on the detection, the repelling member 11 opens in the direction of the arrow F and repels at the arc portion 11a as shown in FIG. 7D, and at the same time, the driving of the plunger magnet 13 is released. The pressing member 7 is retracted from the pathway 2 as indicated by arrow B.

Then, the feed rollers 3 and 4 and the pressing roller 9 are rotated clockwise to feed the passbook 1 in the arrow G direction.

Thus, the medium 1a is guided by the flip-up member 11 and the guide plate 6 and turned over as shown by an arrow H.

As shown in the enlarged side view of the repelling member in FIG. 5, one end of the repelling member 11 is bent in an arc shape along the circumference of the turning roller 8 to form an arc portion 11a. The arm 11a is integrally formed with the arm 11b, and is swingably supported by a support 17.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

The page turning of the passbook is performed as described above, but in order to turn the cover with high rigidity, the pitch between the feed roller 3 and the turning roller is made as wide as possible to reduce the influence.

Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the tip of the medium comes into pressure contact with the arm portion of the repelling member at a steep angle as indicated by 1a 'shown by the chain double-dashed line. There is a problem that the load on the member becomes large and causes a turning failure.

[Means for solving problems]

 FIG. 1 is a side view showing an automatic page turning mechanism of the present invention.

In the present invention, the repelling member 18 is provided with the inclined portion 18c, and the medium 1a is repelled by the inclined portion 18c.

[Action]

The tip of the medium is slanted at the tip portion of the medium to facilitate sliding up and to reduce the load on the repelling member.

〔Example〕

 1 and 2 show an embodiment of the present invention.

The same portions are denoted by the same reference numerals throughout the drawings.

As shown in the side view of FIG. 1 and the enlarged side view of the flip-up member of FIG. 2, the flip-up member 18 applied to the automatic page-turning mechanism of the present invention has an inclined portion at the portion where the leading end of the medium 1a abuts. 18
c is provided, and the medium 1a is repelled by the inclined portion 18c.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 2, the tip of the medium 1a slides along the inclined portion 18c during the repelling operation, and the load applied to the repelling member 18 becomes small, so that the repelling is easy.

Due to the sliding motion and the reduction of the load, the page turning can be surely performed.

[Effect of device]

As described above, by applying the automatic page-turning mechanism of the present invention to a bank terminal device or the like, it is possible to surely turn even a medium with high hardness such as a cover sheet, which has great industrial effects. .
