Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To correct skew of a sheet of paper, etc., conveyed and prevent jam occurrence by allowing a checking member to once check the sheet sent from one conveying system so that the ends of the sheet are put in alignment, and then transferring the sheet to another conveying system by a conveyance drive member. SOLUTION: When a sheet of paper, etc., is conveyed by a conveying system A in the skewing condition, it is forwarded to another conveying system in skew unchangedly, and runs against a stopper part 24R to be repelled. The sheet is shifted aside by an impact absorbing spring 34 and an aside shifting roller toward stopper parts 24L, 24R and put in alignment with no skew provided. When a sensor senses aside shift, a control part supplies voltage to an electromagnet 33 and attracts a core 32 in the h-direction. Then brackets 23L, 23R rotate round a shaft 22 as fulcrum, and the stopper parts 24L, 24R elevate so that the direction of transporting is left open, and the sheet is transferred to another conveying system B.

In the conventional paper sheet transport mechanism, as shown in the figure, one transport system A and the other transport system B are arranged to face each other in the paper sheet transport direction. First, the configurations of the transport system A and the transport system B will be described. Conveying System A This conveying system A is provided so that the conveying belts 1L, 1M, 1R and the conveying belts 2L, 2M, 2R are in pressure contact with each other.

Further, the shaft 7 is connected to a motor (not shown), and the motor rotates the pulleys 3L, 3M, 3R in the direction of arrow a to drive the conveying system A and conveys the paper sheet in the direction of arrow c. Is done. The shaft 7 may not be rotated, and any other shaft may be rotated and driven.

Conveying system B In this conveying system B, conveying belts 11L, 11M and 11R and conveying belts 12L, 12M and 12R are provided so as to be in pressure contact with each other, and conveying belts 11L, 11M and 11R and conveying belts 12L and 12M, The paper sheets are sandwiched between the 12R and the 12R and conveyed. The conveyor belt 11L,
11M and 11R are pulleys 13L, 13M and 1 respectively.
3R and the pulleys 14L, 14M and 14R, and the conveyor belts 12L, 12M and 12R are respectively the pulleys 15L, 15M and 15R and the pulleys 16L, 16M and 1R.
It is wound around 6R. Also, the pulleys 13L, 1
3M and 13R are fixed to the shaft 17, and the pulley 1
4L, 14M and 14R are fixed to the shaft 18, the pulleys 15L, 15M and 15R are fixed to the shaft 19, and the pulleys 16L, 16M and 16R are the shaft 20.
It is fixed to. Further, the shafts 17, 18,
19 and 20 are rotatably attached to a frame (not shown) via bearings. Also,
The shaft 17 is connected to a motor (not shown), and the motor causes the pulleys 13L, 13M, 13R to move in the direction of arrow b.
In the direction indicated by arrow d so as to drive the transport system A.
Paper sheets are conveyed in the direction. The shaft 17 may not be rotated, but any other shaft may be rotated and driven.

Since the transport system A has a lower speed than the transport system B, the shaft 17 is rotated at a speed higher than that of the shaft 7. By setting the paper sheet transport speeds of the transport systems facing each other in this way, the speed is gradually increased along the transport path when the target transport speed cannot be increased at once.

Next, the driving states of the transport system A and the transport system B will be described. Conveyance system A A motor (not shown) is driven to rotate the shaft 7 in the direction of arrow a in response to a command from a controller (not shown). The rotational force of the shaft 7 drives the conveyor belts 1L, 1M, 1R via the pulleys 3L, 3M, 3R. Then, by driving the conveyor belts 1L, 1M, 1R, the pulleys 4L, 4L
The shaft 8 is rotated via M and 4R. Further, by driving the conveyor belts 1L, 1M, 1R, the conveyor belt 1
A frictional force is generated between L, 1M, 1R and the conveyor belts 2L, 2M, 2R, and the conveyor belts 2L, 2M, 2R are driven.
By driving the conveyor belts 2L, 2M, 2R, the shaft 9 is rotated via the pulleys 5L, 5M, 5R, and the shaft 10 is rotated via the pulleys 6L, 6M, 6R.

The conveyor belts 11L, 11M, and 11R are driven via. Then, by driving the conveyor belts 11L, 11M, 11R, the shaft 18 is rotated via the pulleys 14L, 14M, 14R. In addition, the conveyor belts 11L and 11
By driving M and 11R, the conveyor belts 11L, 11M,
A frictional force is generated between 11R and the conveyor belts 12L, 12M, 12R, and the conveyor belts 12L, 12M, 12R are driven. By driving the conveyor belts 12L, 12M, 12R, the shaft 19 is rotated via the pulleys 15L, 15M, 15R, and the shaft 20 is rotated via the pulleys 16L, 16M, 16R.

At the time of driving the above-mentioned carrier system A and carrier system B,
The operation when the paper sheet is conveyed will be described. When a sheet is sent to the transport system A from another transport system (not shown),
In the transport system A, paper sheets are clamped by the transport belts 1L, 1M, 1R and the transport belts 2L, 2M, 2R and transported in the direction of arrow c. Then, the paper sheets sent out from the transport system A are
It is taken into the transport system B from its tip. In the transport system B,
Conveyor belts 11L, 11M, 11R and conveyor belt 12
The paper sheet is clamped by L, 12M, and 12R, and is conveyed in the direction of arrow d like the paper sheet P, and the paper sheet is sent to the next portion such as the conveyance system.

[0009]

However, when the paper sheet conveying speed is different between the one conveying system and the other conveying system, when the paper sheets are conveyed from one conveying system to the other conveying system. In particular, the following two problems occur at the connecting portion. (1) When the sheet conveying speed of one conveying system A is higher than that of the other conveying system B, as shown in FIG. 11, the sheet P conveyed in the conveying system A is skewed as shown by the broken line. In this case, the skew increases at the connection between the transport system A and the transport system B, and the paper sheet P transported in the transport system B is transported in a further skewed state as shown by the chain double-dashed line. there were.

[0010] Such a problem is that when the leading edge of the paper sheet P is first clamped to the transport belts 11R and 12R among the transport belts of the transport system B at the connecting portion between the transport system A and the transport system B. I woke up. That is, since the front end of the paper sheet P is pulled by the conveyor belts 11R and 12R with a force that is faster than the paper sheet conveyance speed of the conveyance system A that sends out the paper sheet P, the rear end of the paper sheet P. The side receives frictional force from the transport belt of the transport system A in the direction opposite to the transport direction. Therefore, the rear end side of the paper sheet P tries to be held by the transport system A, but the front end side of the paper sheet P is pulled by the transport system B, and a couple force is applied to rotate the paper sheet P. And the skew was getting bigger.

(2) One transport system A to the other transport system B
When the paper sheet conveyance speed is slow, the leading end side of the paper sheet P becomes longer than the distance conveyed by the conveyance system B and the rear end side of the paper sheet P becomes longer than the distance conveyed by the conveyance system A. Since the paper sheet P is bent by the difference in the distance, the paper sheet P may not be conveyed to the conveyance system B, and there is a problem that a jam occurs at the connecting portion.

[0012]

Therefore, according to the present invention, the transport systems for transporting the paper sheets are arranged with their transport ports facing each other, and the paper sheets are transported from one transport system to the other transport system. In the paper sheet transport mechanism, a guide member for guiding the paper sheet is disposed between both transport systems, and both ends of the paper sheet transported from one transport system are aligned with the guide member in the guide member. Thus, a blocking member that blocks the transport direction and a transport driving member that transports the paper sheets blocked by the blocking member to the other transport system are provided.

[0013]

With this structure, the blocking member temporarily blocks the sheets conveyed from one conveying system, aligns both ends thereof, and then conveys the sheets to the other by the conveying drive member. It becomes possible to convey it to the system. Therefore, the sheets conveyed in the skewed state by one of the conveying systems can be conveyed to the other conveying system in a state where both ends of which the skew is corrected are aligned. Further, by appropriately setting the paper sheet conveyance speed of the conveyance driving member to the other conveyance system, the paper sheet conveyance mechanism can be used regardless of the difference in the paper sheet conveyance speed between the one conveyance system and the other conveyance system. Will be able to design. For example, even when the sheet conveying speed of the other conveying system is slower than that of the one conveying system, the occurrence of jam can be prevented by appropriately setting the sheet conveying speed of the conveying drive member. .

In the conventional paper sheet transport mechanism, as shown in the figure, one transport system A and the other transport system B are arranged to face each other in the paper sheet transport direction, and the transport system A and the transport system are arranged. A transport system C is arranged between the transport directions of B. The configurations and basic operations of the transport system A and the transport system B are the same as those of the above-described conventional example, and therefore description thereof will be omitted, and the same reference numerals will be given when necessary in the following description.

First, the structure of the transport system C will be described.
In this transport system C, a lower traveling guide 21X and an upper traveling guide 21Y are provided so as to face each other with a constant space therebetween, and the paper sheets are guided in the direction of arrow e to be transported to the transport system B. There is. On the upper side of the upper traveling guide 21Y, a bracket 23 that vertically moves both ends with a shaft 22 as a fulcrum.
L and 23R are provided at intervals in parallel and orthogonal to the transport direction. The brackets 23L and 23R are connected by a connecting member 23M so that both ends can be moved up and down in conjunction with each other. The shaft 22 is arranged so as to pass on the same axis as the brackets 23L and 23R.

Transport system B for the brackets 23L, 23R
At one end on the side, stopper portions 24L, 24 are provided as a blocking member.
The R is formed integrally with the brackets 23L and 23R so as to fit over the recesses 25L and 25R formed in the lower traveling guide 21X beyond the upper traveling guide 21Y. Then, when the stopper portions 24L and 24R are fitted into the depressions 25L and 25R by the rotation of the bracket 22, the transport direction is adjusted so that both ends of the paper sheet transported from the transport system A are aligned with the transport direction. It acts to block the.

A transport system A for the brackets 23L and 23R
At the other end on the side, the transport rollers 26L and 26R are connected to the shaft 2
It is rotatably attached via 7. Conveying drive rollers 28L and 28R are provided so as to face the conveying rollers 26L and 26R and to be seen from the hole provided in the lower traveling guide 21X toward the upper traveling guide 21Y. The transport drive rollers 28L and 28R are the shaft 29.
The shaft 29 is attached to a frame (not shown) via a bearing so that power from a drive system (not shown) is transmitted.

Here, the transport rollers 26L and 26R are used.
And the transport drive rollers 28L and 28R constitute a transport drive member for transporting the paper sheet to the transport system B,
The rotation of the bracket 22 causes the transport rollers 26L and 26L to rotate.
When R presses the paper sheet against the transport driving rollers 28L, 28R, the transport rollers 26L, 26R move in the direction of arrow e.
And the conveyance drive rollers 28L and 28R rotate in the direction of the arrow f, and act to feed the paper sheets from the conveyance system C to the conveyance system B.

When the stopper portions 24L and 24R are fitted in the depressions 25L and 25R, the conveying rollers 26L and 26R are separated from the conveying driving rollers 28L and 28R and retracted to the upper side, and the stopper portions 24L. ，
When 24R is separated from the depressions 25L, 25R and retracts to the upper side, the conveying rollers 26L, 26R are formed at the positions of both ends of the brackets 23L, 23R so as to press the paper sheets against the conveying drive rollers 28L, 28R. There is.

A foot portion 30 is vertically connected to the bracket 23R, and the core portion 3 is connected to the foot portion 30.
1 is rotatably attached at the connecting portion 29a. Also,
A bias spring 32 is wound around the core portion 31, and the core portion 31 is connected to the electromagnetic magnet 33. When a voltage is applied to the electromagnetic magnet 33, the core portion 31 is attracted in the h direction, and the transport roller 26
L and 26R move in the direction of arrow i, and stoppers 24L and
24R operates in the direction of arrow j. When the voltage is cut off, the bias spring 32 resets in the k direction, the transport rollers 26L and 26R move in the arrow j direction, and the stopper portions 24L and 24R move in the arrow i direction.

The upper running guide 21Y has a conveying system A
An impact absorbing spring 34 is fixed to absorb the impact rebounding when the sheets conveyed from the sheet hit the stopper portions 24L and 24R. The impact absorbing spring 34 is an elastic body having a pressure contact surface that is in pressure contact with the lower traveling guide 21X, and the stopper portions 24L, 24.
It is attached so that the pressure contact surface is located approximately in the center connecting R.

The lower running guide 21X is provided with a width-shifting roller 35 that shifts the widths of the stoppers 24L and 24R toward the transporting direction A side of the pressure contact surface of the shock absorbing spring 34 to align the leading ends of the paper sheets. There is. This width adjustment roller 3
The blade 5 is provided with a blade 35a, and the blades 35a hit the paper sheets. Although only one blade 35a is drawn in the figure, the number of blades is not limited to this and may be any number. The width-shifting roller 35 is an inner roller 37 fixed to a shaft 36 to which the driving force is transmitted.
And an outer roller 38 that meshes with the inner roller 37 and rotates only in a fixed direction and that rotates faster than the inner roller 37 when a rotational force larger than that of the inner roller 37 is applied. . That is, the width-shifting roller 35 is composed of a so-called one-way bearing. Further, the appearance of the width-shifting roller 35 is preferably a pointed shape shown in FIG. 4 or a raised shape shown in FIG.

It should be noted that, in order to allow the paper sheets to be moved closer to the stopper portions 24L and 24R, the width-adjusting roller 35 and the paper sheets are more than the friction coefficient between the shock absorbing spring 34 and the paper sheets. The friction coefficient between and is set to be high. Further, sensors 39L and 39R for detecting whether or not the paper sheets are width-shifted to the stopper portions 24L and 24R are arranged on the width-shift position. Although the sensors 39L and 39R are assumed here to be optical sensors including a light emitting element and a light receiving element, the sensors 39L and 39R are not limited to this, and may be microswitch type sensors, for example.

Next, a series of operations of the transport system C having the above configuration will be described step by step. In the conveyance system C, the voltage of the electromagnetic magnet 33 is cut off when the conveyance of paper sheets is on standby. In this state, it is reset in the k direction by the bias spring 32, and the stopper portions 24L, 24R are reset.
Is fitted in the recesses 25L and 25R to block the transport direction. Further, the transport rollers 26L and 26R
Is in a state of floating above the transport drive rollers 28L and 28R. Then, the driving force is transmitted to the transport drive rollers 28L and 28R to rotate them.

When the paper sheet is conveyed from the conveyance system A in the conveyance standby state, the paper sheet is temporarily stopped by the stopper portions 24L, 24.
Shock absorption spring 3
4 and the width-shifting roller 35, the stopper portion 24L,
The width is adjusted to 24R. And the sensors 39L, 39R
When the width is detected, the control unit (not shown) supplies a voltage to the electromagnetic magnet 33 to attract the core unit 32 in the h direction. With this suction, the brackets 23L and 23R rotate around the shaft 22 as a fulcrum, and the stopper portions 24L and
24R rises in the direction of arrow j, and the transport direction becomes open. Further, the conveying rollers 26L and 26R are indicated by arrows i.
In this direction, the paper sheets are sandwiched and pressed against the drive / conveyance rollers 28L and 28R. By this pressure contact, the paper sheets are transported in the direction of arrow e by the power of the drive transport rollers 28L and 28R. Further, by this transportation, the transportation rollers 26L, 26R
Rotates in the direction of arrow g, and acts so that this conveyance is performed smoothly.

Then, the paper sheets are conveyed in the direction of arrow e,
When it is conveyed to the conveyance system B of the next stage, the sensor 39
The control unit (not shown) recognizes L, 39R, the transportation time, etc., and turns off the voltage of the electromagnetic magnet 33. Then, the bias spring 32 moves the core portion 31 in the k direction,
The brackets 23L and 23R rotate around the shaft 22 as a fulcrum, and the stopper portions 24L and 24R descend in the direction of arrow i to block the conveyance direction. In addition, the transport roller 2
6L and 2R ascend in the direction of arrow j, and drive drive roller 2
Release the pressure contact with 8L and 28R.

Finally, the transport system C operating as described above.
Next, the action of the paper sheet when the paper sheet in the skewed state is conveyed from the conveyance system A will be described. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, when the paper sheet is conveyed in the skewed state indicated by the broken line in the conveyance system A, the paper sheet is conveyed to the conveyance system C in the skewed state. Then, in the transport system C, the paper sheets hit the stopper portion 24R and are repelled. However, due to the action of the shock absorbing spring 34 and the width-shifting roller 35, the width is shifted to the stopper portions 24L and 24R, and the sheets are aligned without skew as shown by the broken line. Then, when the sensors 39L and 39R sense the width-shifting, as described above, the paper sheet is conveyed to the conveyance system B in a state where the skew is corrected.

It is preferable that the driving of the conveying driving rollers 28L and 28R be started from the state where the conveying rollers 26L and 26R are in pressure contact with each other. This is because it is possible to prevent the occurrence of skew due to the shift in the contact timing between the transport rollers 26L and 26R. In addition, the transport system B
The transport speed of is equal to or higher than the transport speed of the transport system C. This is because if the transport system B is slower than the transport system C, wrinkles or jams may occur on the paper sheets. Therefore, the rotation speeds of the transport driving rollers 28L and 28R are
The rollers 13L, 13M, 13R described above in the related art
Preferably at the same speed as. As described above, when the rotational speeds are the same, when the power is supplied from the same drive system, the structure of the mechanism is simple, and the number of parts and the number of manufacturing steps can be reduced. It should be noted that the driving systems may not be the same, but they may be different.

According to the above embodiment, even if the paper sheet discharged from the transport system A is transported in a skewed state, the transport system C is used.
Then, the skew can be corrected and the sheet can be conveyed to the conveying system B. In addition, once the transport speed of the transport system C is set to the transport system B,
By setting the speed equal to or higher than, it is possible to set the paper sheet conveyance speed of the conveyance system B regardless of the paper conveyance speed of the conveyance system A, and the paper sheets of the conveyance system A and the conveyance system B can be set. It becomes possible to design a large difference in the conveyance speed. further,
By setting the transport speed of the transport system C to be the same as that of the transport system B once, it becomes possible to prevent jamming. Also,
Since the stopper portions are arranged at intervals so as to be orthogonal to the transport direction, it becomes possible to align the widths of the paper sheets so that both ends thereof are aligned.

In the above embodiment, the transport drive roller 2 is used.
8L and 28R are fixed to the shaft 29, and the shaft 2
Although it has been described that 9 is attached to a frame (not shown) and power from a drive system (not shown) is transmitted, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the transport drive roller may be configured as follows. Good. 6 and 7 are explanatory views of another configuration of the transport drive roller.

In FIG. 6, this conveyance drive roller 40
Is an inner roller 42 that is fixed to a shaft 41 to which the driving force is transmitted and that rotates in the direction of arrow P.
It is constituted by an outer roller 43 that meshes with 2 and rotates only in a constant arrow Q direction, and that rotates faster than the inner roller 42 when a torque larger than that by the inner roller 42 is applied. That is, the transport drive roller 4
0 is a so-called one-way bearing like the width-adjusting roller 35.

In FIG. 7, this conveyance drive roller 44
Is a shaft 45, an inner roller 46, and an outer roller 47.
And a gear 48 integrally formed with the outer roller 47, the inner roller 46 rotates in the direction of arrow P,
The outer roller 47 is adapted to rotate in the direction of arrow Q. The driving force is transmitted from a driving roller 50 having a gear 49 that meshes with the gear 48. It should be noted that the driving roller 50 is assumed to receive driving force from a driving system (not shown) via the shaft 51.

As described above, when the transport drive roller is constructed, the speed of the transport system C can be made equal to or higher than that of the transport system B. That is, in the operation after the paper sheets are width-shifted to the stopper portions 24L and 24R of the transport system C, the bracket 22 is rotated by the action of the electromagnetic magnet 33 to release the stopper portions 24L and 24R as described above. At the same time, the transport rollers 26L and 26R are moved to the transport drive roller 40 or the transport drive roller 44 side. Then, by the action of the transport drive roller 40 or the transport drive roller 44, the paper sheet is transported to the transport system B side.

At the time of this conveyance, by the action of the so-called one-way bearing of the conveyance drive roller 40 or the conveyance drive roller 44, even if the conveyance system B is slower than the conveyance system C, the paper sheets can be conveyed smoothly without being torn off. As a result, it becomes possible to improve transport quality such as prevention of skew. In the above embodiment,
Stoppers 24L, 24R and transport rollers 26L, 26R
The case where and are integrally formed on the bracket 22 has been described,
Not limited to this, for example, both may be configured as follows.

FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram of another structure of the stopper portion and the conveying roller. Note that illustration is omitted except for the main part. The stopper portion 52 is connected to the electromagnetic magnet 54 via the core portion 53, and the reset spring 55 is wound around the core portion 53, and the stopper portion 52 is driven in the vertical direction by the action of the electromagnetic magnet 54. .

The transport roller 56 is connected to an electromagnetic magnet 58 through a core portion 57, and a reset spring 59 is wound around the core portion 57, and the action of the electromagnetic magnet 58 causes the transport roller 56 to move vertically. I tried to drive. It should be noted that when the stopper portion 52 is moving upward, the conveying roller 56 is moved downward, and when the stopper portion 52 is moving downward, the conveying roller 56 is moved upward so that the conveying roller 56 is conveyed. The timing of vertical movement with the roller 56 is set.

As described above, even if the stopper portion and the conveying roller are not integrally formed but are separately formed, the same effect as in the case of the above-mentioned integral formation can be obtained.

[0039]

As described above, according to the paper sheet transporting mechanism of the present invention, the blocking member temporarily blocks the paper sheet transported from one transport system, and after aligning both ends thereof, Since the paper sheet can be conveyed to the other conveyance system by the conveyance driving member, the paper sheet conveyed in a skewed state in one conveyance system has its skew corrected state in which both ends are aligned. Thus, it is possible to obtain the effect of being able to convey to the other conveying system. Further, by appropriately setting the paper sheet conveyance speed of the conveyance driving member to the other conveyance system, the paper sheet conveyance mechanism can be used regardless of the difference in the paper sheet conveyance speed between the one conveyance system and the other conveyance system. The effect that can be designed can be expected. For example, even when the sheet conveying speed of the other conveying system is slower than that of the one conveying system, it is expected that the occurrence of jam can be prevented by appropriately setting the sheet conveying speed of the conveying drive member. it can.
