Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to automatic page changing of a booklet, and further details (in other words, a bank teller device that handles one bankbook, an automatic cash deposit dispensing device, an automatic bookkeeping device) The present invention relates to an automatic passbook page changing device that automatically turns the pages of a passbook in a bank business processing device.

BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY This type of bank business processing device uses a passbook that opens vertically or horizontally, and deposit payment amounts are printed sequentially. If an automatic page changing device is not provided, when the last line of a certain page has been printed, this will be detected and the passbook will be temporarily ejected from the device.

Then, the remaining printing is performed by a person handling the bankbook, such as a bank employee or a customer, turning over the next page and inserting the passbook into the device again.

However, manually changing pages in the middle of printing a bankbook poses a significant obstacle to automation and labor saving of bank business processing. In particular, in automatic deposit machines, automatic payment machines, etc. that are operated by customers themselves, it is possible not only to set the passbook incorrectly, but also to have the customer take home the passbook that was ejected to change the pages. This requires a processing means for incompletely canceling passbook processing, which inevitably reduces operability, processing speed, and reliability.

In order to deal with this problem, automatic page changing devices for bankbooks have been proposed. For example, JP-A-49-373
This is the technique described in No. 2 or Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 123324/1983. These machines rotate a lever to which a rubber page change roller is attached, bring the page change roller close to the page surface of the passbook, rotate it in the page break direction, and then pull the passbook back in a predetermined direction along that line. , or turn the page by moving it 9. Automatically change the page.

In addition to this, various automatic page change techniques have been proposed. However, even at tLK, it is necessary to partially open the surface of the passbook conveyance path on the page-turning direction in order to enable page-turning when changing pages. It is preferable that this opening is closed except during page changing operations. This is to ensure stable transportation of the passbook.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION An object of the invention is to ensure constant conveyance of the booklet by closing an opening provided in the conveyance path of the booklet in order to allow the pages to be conveyed except when the page is being operated. An object of the present invention is to provide an automatic page changing device for a booklet that ensures the following.

According to the present invention, in order to make it easier to turn the pages of a booklet, a shutter that can be opened freely is provided facing the open part provided on the conveyance path of the booklet. This shutter opening/closing means is opened during a page change operation to open the opening section. When the page change operation is completed, the shutter opening/closing stage closes the shutter and closes the open portion of the conveyance path to ensure stable booklet feeding. In order to reliably close the shutter, according to the present invention, the shutter opening/closing means is configured to close the shutter using its own weight and lock it in that state.

Embodiments of the Invention From now on, embodiments in which the present invention is applied to an automatic page changing device with vertical openings will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The passbook used in this real m-line is a single passbook with a magnetic recording section on the back side and a vertical opening with a different barcode attached to each page. This type of passbook is well known.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an automatic page changing device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this figure, a bankbook 5 that opens vertically (hereinafter simply referred to as a bankbook) is fed into a transport path 51 in an open state. Although not shown, the conveyance path 51 communicates with a bankbook printing section, and this printing section is provided, for example, at the bottom of this figure. The conveyance path 51iC is provided with a conveyance roller 52 for the bankbook 5.

As shown in FIG. 6, these rollers 52 are arranged to face the conveyance path 51, and the distance between the upper pair of rollers 52 and the lower pair of rollers of the conveyance path 51 is the length of one open area. Shorter than Sayaka. The clearance 5 is held between these * and X rollers 52 and fed downward or upward.

Two page change rollers 2 are provided at an intermediate position between the upper roller 52 and the lower roller 52 on the conveyance path 51 . These page change rollers 2 are fixed to a shaft 1 directly connected to the rotating shaft of a motor 12, and a baffle plate 10 having a slit is attached to the gift 1 and i. Then,
When the motor 12 is rotated in the forward or reverse direction under control from a control section (not shown), the page changing roller 2 and the shrinking plate 1o are rotated in that direction, thereby performing page changing. Further, a photoelectric element 11 is arranged corresponding to the rotation locus of the slit of the shield plate, and the rotation, stopping, etc. of the Moor train are controlled by the detection output from this photoelectric element 11.

Here, with reference to FIG. 2, the configuration of the page change roller 12 will be described in more detail V4. Similarly, to simplify the explanation, the illustration of the other page changing roller 2 attached to the shaft 1 is omitted.

The page change roller 2 is different from the main body part 32 in terms of difference.
It consists of #31. The main shaft part 32 has an eave in the same layer as the shaft 1, and is made of aluminum or brass, for example. This main salary 932 is composed of a slope WIIA6 having a predetermined curvature and a constriction part 7 connected to the slope WIIA6,
Furthermore, a portion 31 is provided over approximately the middle circumference of the position facing the slope portion 6. The teeth s31 are made of an elastic member such as rubber having a large coefficient of friction, and the outer periphery thereof has an uneven shape.

In normal times, that is, when the passbook is simply conveyed and the pages of the passbook are not changed, the slope head 6 faces the conveyance path 51, and the end of the passbook 5 is placed on the page change roller 2, as shown in FIG. The passbook 5 can be transported smoothly without any hitches.

If you want to turn the page 50 in the forward or reverse direction,
The page changing row 22 is rotated in the X1 direction or the C direction. Then, the 1IRs 31 comes into contact with the paper surface of the bankbook 5 and turns the paper surface over, and when the roller 2 rotates once, the printed paper surface is completely turned over.

In particular, in this embodiment, since the m section 31i of the page change roller 2 is made of uneven rubber, it comes into contact with the bankbook 150 paper side with much more frictional force. In addition, since the constricted part 7 is provided, even if the edge of the regular @50 paper is curved, this edge can be easily
7, and the page change operation is reliably performed. This operation will be described in detail later. Of course, in the non-embodiment, the constriction s7 was provided on both hooks of the entire main body part 32 on the premise that page changes would be made in the forward and reverse directions, but if the page change was performed in only one direction, this constriction s7 It is sufficient to provide one 71.

Referring to Figure 1, the conveyance path 510 page change row 2
The part facing 2 is open. The C eave serves as an escape when turning the pages, but if this part is left open all the time, the transportation of the passbook will become unstable and uncertain. Therefore, in order to keep this opening closed for an indeterminate period of time,
In the non-embodiment, shutters 1 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the beveled roller 2.
41.142 are provided. Hereinafter, the structure and operation of these shutters 141 and 142 will be lied.

FIG. 8 is a side view of FIG. 1. 141 is a shutter that is enclosed when a page is changed in one direction, and 142 is a shutter that is opened when a page is changed in the reverse direction. The shutter 141 is attached to the shaft 54 and the reverse page changing shutter 142 is attached to the shaft 1, and the link 531 is attached to the shutter 141, respectively.
．． The two lenses 13' and 13i are connected via 532. Links 531 and 532 are largely fulcrums 90%91
The pins 81 at the tips of the pins are inserted into the slits 82 and 83 of the shutters 141 and 142, and when a page change process is required, the pins 42 are connected to the solenoid 1.
3 attracts the link 531 in the direction of the arrow xs.
．． Since the shutter 532 rotates around the fulcrum 90.91, the shutters 141 and 142 are opened in the direction 42 of the arrow θ1.

One feature of such a shutter opening/closing mechanism is that both shutters 141 and 142 move in the same direction (arrow θ1 direction') (
= Open, and the shutters 141 and 142 are placed on the platform with the solenoid 13 and 13 de-energized. The aim is to create a mechanism that allows for recovery. The closing operation of the shutters 141% 142 is reliable, and no driving force (recovery parts) is required for this purpose, making aiming simple.

The feature 'I42 is shown in FIG.
i.

The positional relationship between the fulcrum 90.91 of the link 531.532 is such that the shutter 141.142 cannot be opened even if an external force F5c is applied to the shutter 141.142 in the direction of the arrow. 91
By using a mechanism that provides a distance difference of 4t between the bins 80 and 81, the positional relationship is designed such that a lock can be applied. This is to prevent the shutters 141, 142 from opening even if the shutters 141, 142 are subjected to an external force F due to a folded or curled bankbook being transported on the transport path 5 in normal processing without page change processing. Tamederuru. If this locking function is not available, if a folded or curled passbook is transported, the shutter 141
．． 142 opens when subjected to external force F, causing a passbook jam during transportation. , + mechanism can prevent this phenomenon.

Next, the operation of the automatic page changing device for a bankbook having such a configuration will be described below.

First, with reference to FIG. 4, the operation when turning the pages of a passbook in the forward direction will be described. Although not explained in detail in this embodiment, as described in detail in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 54-123324, a printing section is provided below the page changing mechanism, and printing is done on the passbook here. Ru. Then, printing is performed up to the last line of a certain page, for example, the 20th line, and if there is still print data, the page of the passbook must be changed and the next page must be printed.

In this case, the bankbook 5 is conveyed to the page changing mechanism and stopped at a position where the pages are turned in the forward direction (fourth problem A).

When the passbook 5 is stopped, the solenoid 13' (FIG. 8) is activated, and the shutter 141 is surrounded by the link 531i.Then, the motor 12 is rotated in the direction of the arrow X.
The page change row 22 is rotated in the x1 direction. Then,
Laura 2's! The I11 section 31 contacts the page surface 15 of the passbook 5, catches this page surface 15 by the Jf friction force, and smoothly turns it over (4th opening). Finally, this page surface 15 is thrown off from the tooth portion 31 (fourth failure). At this time, a shielding plate 10 provided on the shaft 7)1
The photoelectric element 11 detects the slit.

That is, the seventh roller 12 is stopped after one rotation from the start of the roller 2 (41st second).Next, the conveying roller 52 is activated and the passbook 5 is conveyed in the direction indicated by the arrow (E).

Then, after a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the conveyance of the conveyor 5 is started, the solenoid is shut off, and the shutter 141 is closed and locked. In this way, forward page changing operation is performed. Finally, after the page changing operation is completed, the optical detection means detects the barcode attached to the page of the passbook in order to check whether the page changing has been performed reliably. This is disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 123324/1983.

Next, the operation when turning the pages of a bankbook in the opposite direction will be explained with reference to the fifth problem. Reverse page change is opposite to the above-described forward page change, in which the page is changed in the direction in which the page number decreases. In this case, the bankbook 5 is conveyed to the page 1 support mechanism and stopped at a position where the pages are turned in the opposite direction. (No. 5). Shin11'Ji! 5 is stopped! Then solenoid 13 is activated and link 532 is activated.
The shutter 142 is opened via. Furthermore, the motor 12
is rotated in the direction of arrow x2, and page changing roller 2 is rotated in the direction of arrow x2.
Rotate in the direction n. Then, the roller 2 @S31 comes into contact with the page surface 15 of the first period 5, hooks this page surface 15 with $% force, and gradually turns it over (Figure 5 opening). Finally, this page surface 15 is repelled from the tooth portion 31 (FIG. 5). At this time, the photoelectric element 11 detects the slit in the shielding plate 10 provided on the shaft 1. In other words, the motor 12 is stopped when the roller 2 rotates one rotation after starting (51st second). Next, the conveyance roller 52
is activated, and the passbook 5 is transported, for example, in the direction of arrow B (
e). Then, after a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the start of conveyance of the bankbook 5, the solenoid 13 is shut off, the shutter 142 is closed, and the shutter 142 is locked. In this way, a page change operation in the opposite direction is performed.

In this embodiment, page changing is performed by rotating the page changing roller 2 once in one direction or in the opposite direction. will be carried out. For example, when performing continuous page changes in the reverse direction, the 6th
As shown in the figure, the page changing roller 2 is rotated several times in the x2 direction.This is delayed by repeating the operation of the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 described above. Of course, in this case, the rotation of the roller 2 does not stop during the page change, but rotates for the required number of page changes and ends the operation.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the page change is performed reliably every page (L), so unlike the prior art described in h' + Alternatively, special control of the rotational direction of the page changing roller can be used as an OT north, so that continuous page changing can be carried out much faster.

In this embodiment, as shown in the seventh row, a constriction capital 7 is provided at the joint between the tooth s31 of the page change row 22 and the slope s6, so that the page surface 15 of the first page 5 is folded. Even if the page change roller 2 is bent due to inertia, the lower end 5a of the page surface 15 will fall into the lower end 7, even if it is not blown away due to the physical strength of the turning section 31 of the page changing roller 2. Road 5
1 will no longer be included. Therefore, after that, passbook 5
This prevents jams from occurring when transporting.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, other inventions may be implemented with various modifications.

For example, as shown in Fig. 1, there are two page change rollers 2 fixed to the shaft 1, but the invention is limited to this, but it is also possible to provide only one page change roller 2 at the center of the page surface of the passbook. good. Of course, three or four may be provided.

Further, as another modification, a mechanism may be adopted in which rotation is indirectly transmitted to the shaft 1 to which the page changing roller 2 is attached from the rotating shaft of the motor 12 via a gear or the like. Of course, instead of changing the rotation of the shaft 1 by rotating the motor 12 in the desired direction and in the opposite direction, the rotation direction of the shaft 10 may be switched via a known clutch or intermediate gear.

In addition, the mechanism for turning the pages itself is as described above.
It is also contemplated that the configuration may be similar to the prior art.

Furthermore, since the above-mentioned embodiment was configured to allow page changes 20,000 times in forward and reverse directions, two shutters were provided. However, it is easy to understand that if the page is changed only in the forward or reverse direction, the shutter should not cause glare in only one direction.

Furthermore, the shutter opening/closing mechanism may be of any other construction as long as it is a structure that closes and locks the shutter using an eye light as described above.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, the opening s provided in the loading path for turning the pages of the booklet is closed with a shutter except when the page is being changed.

Moreover, the mechanism for opening and closing the shutter utilizes its own weight to close and lock. Therefore, operations other than the page change operation can be based on the opening of the transport path, and the booklet can be transported stably. Additionally, the shutter can be opened and closed with ease using a simple configuration.
