It is rotationally driven in the direction of arrow A.

Reference numeral 4 is a weight that holds the passbook 1 from above.
Friction occurs with the bottom of the book.

Reference numeral 5 is a gate that regulates the passbook 1 fed by the feed roller 3, and the gate 5 is opened so that one lowermost passbook 1 can pass through.

That is, the interval α between the running surface 6 through which the passbook 1 passes and the gate 5 is t <α <2t, where t is the thickness of one passbook.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a separating rubber that comes into contact with the passbook 1 that has passed through the gate 5 to prevent overrunning of the passbook 1, and the separating rubber 7 is arranged on the exit side of the gate 5.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a feed roller that feeds the passbook that has passed through the gate 5 onto the conveyance path 9, and the feed roller 8 is rotationally driven in the direction of arrow A by a driving unit (not shown).

Reference numeral 10 is a clamp roller for pressing the passbook against the feed roller 8, 11 is a shaft for holding the clamp roller 10 rotatably, and the shaft 11 is connected to a solenoid (not shown), and an arrow is drawn by suction of this solenoid. The clamp roller 10 moves in the direction B to come into contact with the passbook 1, and the clamp roller 10 moves away from the passbook 1 by moving the solenoid to release the suction.

Next, when the passbook detection sensor 12 detects the passbook 1, first,
The feeding roller 3 stops driving, and then a solenoid (not shown) is energized to move the shaft 11 in the direction of arrow B to bring the clamp roller 10 into contact with the passbook 1.

As a result, the driving force of the feed roller 3 is transmitted to the passbook 1,
As shown in FIG. 4 (b), the passbook 1 is sent out onto the transport path 9 and hits the reference surface 14.

Here, when the passbook detection sensors 12 and 13 detect the passbook 1,
First, stop energizing the solenoid and move the shaft 11 to the arrow C
The clamp roller 10 is moved away from the passbook 1, and the conveying roller 8 is driven to send the passbook 1 to a processing unit (not shown).

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, according to the conventional technique with the above-described configuration, the separation rubber for preventing the overrun of the passbook always contacts the fed passbook and applies a load, so that the feed roller slips against the frictional force of the separation rubber. However, there is a problem that a jam easily occurs when the passbook is fed.

In view of the above problems, the present invention has a structure in which the separating rubber does not apply a load to the passbook when the feed roller is operated, and has a jam-free operation when the passbook is fed out. The purpose is to provide.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides that the separating rubber releases the contact with the passbook only when the feed roller is activated.

That is, according to the present invention, a storage unit for volume-storing a new passbook, a delivery roller for delivering the passbook in the storage unit, a gate for limiting the passbook delivered by the delivery roller to one volume, and the gate are provided. Separation rubber that contacts the passbook that has passed and prevents overrun of the passbook, feed rollers that send the passbook that has passed through the gate onto the transport path, clamp rollers that press the passbook against the feed rollers, and passbook of the clamp rollers In a passbook feeding mechanism of a passbook automatic issuing device having a moving mechanism that comes into contact with and separates from the above, a crank mechanism that is coupled to the moving mechanism and that retracts the separation rubber in conjunction with a contact operation of a clamp roller is provided. It is characterized by being provided.

[Action]

With the above structure, according to the present invention, first, when the payout roller is driven to draw out the passbook from the storage unit, the passbook in contact with the payout roller moves in the payout direction. Here, friction occurs between the passbooks, and when a plurality of passbooks move in the feeding direction, all the excess passbooks hit the gate, and only one volume passes through the gate and is fed.

At this time, if a thin passbook with a small number of pages is mixed and two passbooks pass through the gate while overlapping, the separation rubber abuts the overrun passbook and separates it by friction, and one passbook Only pay out.

Then, the moving mechanism moves the clamp roller until it comes into contact with the passbook. At this time, the crank mechanism connected to the moving mechanism interlocks to retract the separation rubber, so that the separation rubber does not contact the passbook.

As a result, the passbook is sent to the transport path by the feed roller without the load of the separating rubber.

Reference numeral 5 is a gate that regulates the passbook 1 fed by the feed roller 3, and the gate 5 is opened so that one lowermost passbook 1 can pass through.

That is, the interval α between the running surface 6 through which the passbook 1 passes and the gate 5 is t <α <2t, where t is the thickness of one passbook.

Reference numeral 16 denotes a separating rubber that comes into contact with the passbook that has passed through the gate 5 to prevent overrunning of the passbook. The separating rubber 16 is disposed on the exit side of the gate 5 so as to be separated from the traveling surface of approximately one passbook. There is.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a feed roller that feeds the passbook 1 that has passed through the gate 5 to the conveying path 9, and the feed roller 8 is rotationally driven in the direction of arrow A by a driving means (not shown).

Reference numeral 10 is a clamp roller that presses the passbook 1 against the feed roller 8, and 11 is a shaft that holds the clamp roller 10 rotatably. The shaft 11 is connected to a solenoid (not shown). The clamp roller 10 moves in the direction of the arrow B to come into contact with the passbook 1, and the clamp roller 10 moves away from the passbook 1 by moving the solenoid to release the suction.

Reference numeral 17 is a holding member that holds the separated rubber.
By fitting 17 into the guide 18, the separation rubber 16 is held vertically.

Reference numeral 19 denotes a crank having one end connected to the shaft 11 and the other end connected to the holding member 17, and the vertical movement of the connection point E between the crank 19 and the shaft 11 causes the crank 19 and the holding member 17 to move about the movement fulcrum O. The connection point F moves in the opposite direction.

That is, when the shaft 11 moves in the direction of arrow B, the holding member 17 moves in the direction of arrow C, and when the shaft 11 moves in the direction of arrow C, the holding member 17 moves in the direction of arrow B.

Reference numerals 12 and 13 are detection sensors for detecting the passbook, 14 is a reference surface for restricting the position of the passbook 1 on the conveyance path 9, and 15 is a printing section or a magnetic writing section for the passbook 1 sent to the conveyance path 9. It is a conveyance roller that conveys to a processing unit (not shown).

The conventional passbook feeding mechanism having the above structure operates as follows. 2 (a) and 2 (b) are side views showing the operation of this embodiment.

When the main controller of the automatic passbook issuing device recognizes the issuance of a new passbook, it first starts driving the feeding roller 3 and the feed roller 8 of the passbook feeding mechanism.

At this time, the solenoid (not shown) that is the drive source of the moving mechanism of the pressure roller 11 is not operating, so the crank
The connecting point E between the shaft 19 and the shaft 11 is at the ascending point as shown in FIG. 2 (a), while the connecting point F between the crank 19 and the holding member 17 is opposite.
Is at a descent.

Therefore, the separating rubber 16 held by the holding member 17 is in a state of being set at a position where it comes into contact with the passbook.

In this state, when the driving of the feeding roller 3 and the feeding roller 8 is started as described above, the lowest passbook 1 is fed by the feeding roller 3 in the direction of arrow D, that is, the direction of the transport path 9. At this time, even if a plurality of passbooks 1 try to move in the direction of arrow D due to friction between passbooks, the passbook 1 is regulated to one passbook that is delivered by hitting the gate 5.

Here, if a thin passbook with a small number of pages is mixed and two passbooks 1 pass through the gate 5 while overlapping, the separating rubber 16 hits the upper passbook as shown in FIG. 2 (a). Since the upper passbook 1 is contacted and separated by friction, only the lower passbook 1 can be fed out.

Next, when the passbook detection sensor 12 detects the passbook 1, first,
The feeding roller 3 stops driving, and then a solenoid (not shown) is energized to move the shaft 11 in the direction of arrow B to bring the clamp roller 10 into contact with the passbook.

At this time, as the connecting point E between the shaft 11 and the crank 19 descends as the shaft 11 descends, the crank 19 rotates about the motion fulcrum O and the connecting point F between the crank 19 and the holding member 17 rises.

As a result, the holding member 17 moves in the direction of the arrow C, the separating rubber 16 retracts, and the contact between the separating rubber 16 and the passbook 1 disappears.

In this state, the passbook 1 receives the driving force of the feed roller 8, and the passbook 1 is fed onto the transport path 9 and abuts against the reference surface 14 as shown in FIG.

Here, when the passbook detection sensors 12 and 13 detect the passbook 1,
First, stop energizing the solenoid and move the shaft 11 to the arrow C
The clamp roller 10 is moved away from the passbook 1, and then the transport roller 15 is driven to send the passbook 1 to a processing unit (not shown).

Since the connecting point E rises due to the movement of the shaft 11, the crank 19 rotates about the motion fulcrum O and the crank 19 rotates.
The connection point F between the holding member 17 and the holding member 17 descends.

As a result, the holding member 17 moves in the direction of the arrow B and the separating rubber 16 is set at a position where it comes into contact with the passbook 1.
