Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a page turning device, and more particularly to the structure of a page turning device used in terminals for financial institutions.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in a terminal such as a bank, a page-turning mechanism for automatically turning pages such as a passbook has been adopted. The structure and operation of this type of page-turning apparatus are shown in FIG. It is shown in FIG.

In FIG. 4 (a), a tube 2 is attached to the pad 1, and the pad 1 is configured to come into contact with the paper 3, and the paper 3 is padded by sucking air by a vacuum pump (not shown). Adsorbed to 1. When the pad 1 is tilted together with the tube 2, only one sheet of paper is lifted by the pad 1 and separated from the second and subsequent sheets of paper, as shown in FIG. 4 (b).

Further, in the page turning device shown in FIG. 5 (a), the outer periphery of the tube 2 is covered with the spring 4, and the pad 1 and the tube 2 are fixed.
Only the first sheet of paper is lifted as shown in FIG.

[Problems to be solved] However, in the above-described page turning device, since the pad and the tube are formed of a soft material,
There is a problem that the inclination angle is insufficient and the peeling action cannot be performed sufficiently.

That is, in the case of FIG. 4B, since the tube 2 is soft even if the tube 2 is tilted, the tube 2 bends at the connection portion with the pad 1 as shown by the arrow A, and the tilt angle is insufficient. In some cases, the first sheet of paper cannot be separated from the second sheet of paper.

Further, in the case of FIG. 5 (b), since the pad 1 is soft, the portion of the pad 1 serving as the fulcrum of the inclination bends as shown by the arrow B. The paper is raised on the entire suction surface of the pad, but when a part of the pad 1 is bent, that part does not contribute to raising the paper and the peeling action is reduced.
Further, in this case, since the pad 1 is deformed within the suction surface, there is a problem that the paper 3 is peeled off from the pad 1.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a page turning device that can effectively secure a tilt angle of a pad and can obtain a sufficient peeling action.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a pad to be brought into contact with paper and a tube connected to the pad,
In a page-turning device that uses a vacuum pump to suck the pad onto the paper via a tube and tilts the pad to turn the page, while fixing the connection between the pad and the tube, tilt the pad toward the tip of the pad. A pad hold nail having a fulcrum claw whose tip serves as a fulcrum for tilting operation is provided.

[Operation] According to the above configuration, the pad and the tube are firmly fixed by the pad hold nail, and the tube does not bend at the connection portion with the pad. Further, when the pad is tilted, the tip of the fulcrum claw serves as a fulcrum for the tilting operation, so that the pad does not bend. Therefore,
A sufficient tilt angle and a peeling action can be obtained.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the structure of the page turning device according to the embodiment, in which a tube 2 is attached to a pad 1 and a vacuum pump (not shown) is connected to the tube 2 as in the conventional case. is there.

In the embodiment, the tube 2 is connected to the pad 1 and the tube 2.
The pad hold nail 5 is attached so as to tighten, and the pad 1 and the tube 2 are firmly fixed by the pad hold nail 5. The pad hold nail 5 is provided with two fulcrum claws 6a and 6b at symmetrical positions in the tilting direction of the pad 1.
The tip of 6b is formed with an acute angle, and 0.5 to 0.8 mm from the tip of the pad 1 so that it serves as a fulcrum when the pad 1 tilts.
It is arranged at a distance (a in the figure).

That is, when the above-mentioned a is 0.5 mm or less, as shown in FIG. 2, the tips of the fulcrum claws 6a and 6b hit the passbook during suction, and the pad 1 cannot be completely sucked onto the paper 3. On the other hand, when a is 0.8 or more, a gap is formed between the fulcrum claws 6a and 6b and the passbook when the pad 1 is completely adsorbed, and when the pad 1 is tilted, the pad 1 bends, The same problem as in the conventional FIG. 5 (b) occurs. Therefore, a is
About 0.5 to 0.8 mm is good.

The embodiment is constructed as described above, and its operation will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 3A shows a state in which the pad 1 is in contact with the paper 3 and the paper 3 is adsorbed by the operation of the vacuum pump. When the pad 1 adsorbs the paper 3 of the passbook, the pad 1 is 0 .
The tip of the fulcrum claw 6 of the pad hold nail 5 comes in contact with the passbook paper 3 by retreating about 5 mm.

Then, when the page turning operation is started, FIG.
The pad 1 is tilted on the passbook with the fulcrum claw 6a as a fulcrum, and the paper 3 attracted to the pad 1 is lifted. In the embodiment, the suction surface of the pad 1 is tilted to a position of about 45 °, whereby the first sheet 3 is completely separated from the second sheet 3.

Further, in the above case, since the tube 2 is firmly fixed to the pad 1 by the pad hold nail 5, the tube 2 is not bent at the connecting portion of the pad 1 and the situation where the inclination angle is insufficient is prevented.

As described above, according to the present invention, the pad hold nail having the fulcrum claw is provided, the tube is firmly fixed to the pad, and the pad is tilted with the tip of the fulcrum claw as the fulcrum. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the tube from bending at the connection part with the pad and obtain a good tilt angle, and at the same time, tilt the entire suction surface with the tip of the fulcrum claw as the fulcrum without deforming the pad while peeling the paper. The action can be satisfactorily performed. Therefore, there is an effect that the original suction capacity of the pad can be fully exerted and the paper can be efficiently peeled off.
