Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Object of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for automatically changing the pages of booklets, and more specifically, a bank teller device that handles passbooks;
The present invention relates to an automatic page changing device suitable for application to bank business processing devices such as automatic cash deposit machines and automatic bookkeeping devices.

BACKGROUND ART The above-mentioned bank business processing device prints the deposit amount and payment 1 [4] information on the passbook in the next line in the printing section.
Even after printing up to the last line of the currently opened page, if there is still printout information, it is necessary to change the page. In such cases, ejecting the passbook from the device and having the customer or the bank's I&C manually change the page is undesirable in terms of processing efficiency, labor saving, and serviceability, and is likely to cause confusion. .

Therefore, automatic page changing devices for passbooks have been developed, and in recent years they have been incorporated into bank business processing devices. For example, the technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 54-123324 is one example, in which a lever to which a rubber page changing roller is attached is rotated to bring the page changing roller close to the page surface of the passbook, and the roller is moved closer to the page surface of the passbook. A page change is performed by rotating the passbook in the page break direction, flipping the page, and moving the passbook in a predetermined direction.

Such a conventional automatic page change device is intended for upper and lower pages where the binding direction is perpendicular to the conveyance direction of the passbook. If you try to apply it as is to a passbook with left and right opening, it will be necessary to make sure that the binding of the passbook is perpendicular to the transport direction ((Passbook 9
Need to rotate and supply $1. It's inside. This deviates from the customary handling of passbooks.

That is, in the bank 4-book processing device, since the printed line is conveyed, the paper is inserted and conveyed in the direction of the printed line. There is still another problem. The printing unit of the bank 4 processing device is generally configured to print lines while moving the print head 5 times perpendicular to the transport direction of the 4 ICs being transported. Therefore, when a bankbook with left and right openings is rotated 90' and inserted and conveyed, the printing lines become in the direction of conveyance of the bankbook, and the configuration of the printing section must also be changed.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an automatic page changing device suitable for performing automatic page changing for left-right opening street/uta in a bank business processing device.

More specifically, it is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic page changing device for booklets that are conveyed in a microscopic direction.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In the present invention, a booklet is conveyed in an open state in the direction of its binding by a plurality of pairs of conveyance rollers (or belts) provided on a conveyance path. In other words, if we consider a booklet with one side opening on the left and right sides, the printing lines of the passbook and the conveyance direction are perpendicular to each other. The relationship is the same as the direction.

A page change roller is provided on the conveyance path. This page changing roller rotates around a rotating shaft in the same direction as the booklet conveyance direction, and is accompanied by rotational driving means for this purpose. Further, a means for sliding the page changing roller in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the booklet is conveyed is provided.

The page change operation begins after the booklet is conveyed to the page change roller position by a conveyance roller (or belt) and stopped there. The page changing roller is rotated in a predetermined direction by the rotation driving means while in contact with the paper surface of the page to be changed in the booklet, thereby turning up the paper leaf toward the binding side of the booklet. .

After that, or at the same time, the page change roller is slid in a direction across the binding of the booklet by the sliding means of the foreboard, and the page is changed.

According to one embodiment, during a page change operation, a pair of transport rollers (or belts) positioned to sandwich the booklet are controlled to selectively and temporarily unpin the booklet. be done. In other words, when turning up a sheet of paper, the pinching pressure of the pair of conveyor rollers (or belts) that is pinching the edge of the page is temporarily released to smooth the turning of the sheet of paper. Before stacking the lifted sheet of paper on the next page, the pinching force of the pair of conveyor rollers (or belts) at the end of the latter paper is temporarily released, and the stacking of the sheets is done. This kind of control is only in one embodiment of the present invention, and may not be necessary depending on the configuration of the transport system.

The bracket holder is mounted on a constant rotation shaft (factor) 51, and one end is pulled by a spring 203, and the passbook 9 is transported between the transport rollers 2.3 and 2a, 3a12a', 3a'. If not, they contact each other with a predetermined pressure, and when the passbook 9 is conveyed between both rollers, the bracket tap has a # structure that can swing around the fixed rotating shafts 50, 51Y. The fixed rotating shaft 51 rotates in conjunction with the other conveyance rollers 2.3.4.5. The rotation of the fixed rotary shaft 7 is controlled by the gear 208 fixed thereto, and the shaft 7 on the bracket 90.
The signal is transmitted to the gears 206 of the conveyance rollers 2a, 3a, 2a', and 3a' through an idler gear 207 attached to the roller 205, so that the conveyance rollers 2a, 2a', and 3a' rotate.

Conveying rollers 3a, 2a', 3a' are conveying rollers 2.
The mechanism for detaching from or contacting 3 and passbook 9 is as follows:
This is realized by a cam 202 on a fixed rotating shaft 201 provided outside the bracket. A motor (not shown) is connected to the shaft 201. By rotating the cam 202 in the direction of arrow θ3 around the shaft 201 with this motor, the cam 202 swings the bracket spool around the shaft 50, 51,
The transport rollers 2a, 3a, 2', 3a' can be removed from the bankbook 9 or from the transport rollers 2.3. shaft 2
By arbitrarily controlling the rotation angle of a motor (not shown) connected to conveyor rollers 2a, 3a, 2
a', 3a' can be freely removed from the passage/edge 9 or the conveyance roller 2.3 continuously, or brought into contact with the passbook 9 and the conveyance roller 2.3 again. Note that the swing driving source for the bracket 90 is not limited to the motor, and may be a solenoid or other means.

Now, returning to the original explanation and referring to FIG. 1 again.

The printing mechanism section A of the bankbook 9 has a platen 7 and a print head 8, and this print head 8 moves in the print line direction of the bankbook 9, that is, in the direction perpendicular to this drawing, and prints each line. While printing: Well, the loaf 3.4 is controlled by the control unit 17 to intermittently feed the passbook 9 line by line [2, line feed. Further, an optical detector 10 is provided to detect the 90-page identification code of the passbook set in the print book and the printed line, and the detection output is sent to the width-contact waveform shaper 18.

Further, a magnetic head 11 is provided under the printing mechanism section a for reading and writing information recorded on the magnetic stripe n of the passbook 9, and the information written and read by this magnetic head 11 is transferred to the magnetic side. ntGjJ path 16.

Normally, insertion port 1. When the passbook 9 is inserted, the rollers 2.3.4.5 are driven under the control of the control unit 17 in response to the detection output of the detector 4, and the passbook 9 is moved downward along the conveyance path. A detector is provided to detect the lower end of the passbook 9 as it is being transported. Passbook 90F by this detector number
When the end is detected, the controller 17 controls the rollers 2.3, 4.
50 revolutions is temporarily stopped and corrected. The detector A is installed at a position such that the identification code j of page 90 of the bankbook at that time is below the detector IO when the machine stops.

The page identification code detected by the detector 10 and the printed line are amplified and waveform-shaped by a single-width waveform shaper 18.
and their values are set in register 19.

On the other hand, magnetic recording information read from the magnetic stripe n by the magnetic head 11 is amplified and shaped by the magnetic control circuit 16, and set in a register. Furthermore, magnetic stripe n
When writing information to , the above is reversed.

The arithmetic circuit 21 performs calculations based on the information set in the register, such as the page to be printed and the printed line, and the information set in the register 19, such as the actual open page, page identification code, and printed line. The calculation results are sent to the control section 17 and the counter book. It is also sent to the register to be added to the magnetic stripe valley. Specifically, based on the information recorded on the magnetic stripe n, the arithmetic circuit 21 checks whether the currently opened page 90 of the bankbook is correct or not, and checks whether the opened bankbook 9 page is correct or not.
are sent in sequence, and the currently printed lines are checked in order to correctly set the line to be printed this time.

Of course, when new data is successively printed line by line in the printing section 2, the arithmetic circuit 21 sequentially adds up the printed lines, and this value is set in the register 20.

The counter jump is used by the control circuit 17 to detect the end of the page turning operation for the required number of pages, and each time the page changing roller 49 rotates once, that is, one page is changed. Every time this is done, the count is counted down by 1 based on the detection signal from the photoelectric element 110 (FIG. 4). Normally, only one page is changed, so the calculation [! ! l road 2I
Therefore, 1 is set for Kawanta (capital). However, in the case of a linked page change as described later, a value corresponding to that page is set in the counter value. After starting the page change operation, when the value of the count reaches 10'', the control circuit 17 determines that the required number of pages has been completed.

Next, the page changing operation will be explained with reference to the drawings.

First, take a look at the Sho right-opening bankbook (the page number is thick (t)
The operation of changing the page in the direction shown in FIG.

When the control circuit 17 determines that it is necessary to change the pages of the passbook in the forward direction, (i.e., in the middle of the printing process, the last line of the current page has been printed and there is still information to be printed, If the inserted bankbook is opened to a page before the predetermined page, the control circuit 17 performs the following control to perform a forward page change operation.

First, the passbook 9 is transported to the automatic page change mechanism section 40 by the transport rollers 2 to 5, and then transferred to the transport roller 3.3a.

The conveyance is stopped at the position where the bankbook 9 is held between the fingers 3a'.

FIG. 6(A) shows this state, and the page change roller 49
is stopped at the forward page eject set position.

Next, the platen 90 to which the conveyance rollers 2a, 3a are attached is swung around the fixed rotary shaft 50.51, and the left conveyance rollers 2a, 3a are lifted and removed from the passbook 9. In other words, 90 paper passbooks filS
The c side is in a free state where it is not restricted by the conveyance roller. In this state, the lever direction is swung around the shaft 82 by the drive of the DC solenoid 81 shown in FIG. 1, causing the bankbook 9 to curve in a convex shape from the back to the front. In this state, the page changing roller 49 is rotated in the x6 direction, and the paper leaf 15c is turned over to the binding 9a@.

This state is shown in Figure 6 (→ Submerged.

When the page change roller 49 rotates further, the paper sheet 15c
Due to its own springiness, it is thrown off behind the page changing roller 49 as shown in FIG. 6fi. When the page change roller 49 completes one rotation, the counter becomes @0'', so the control circuit 17 stops the motor 108 (the counter has been previously set to 1''). Further, the control circuit 17 deenergizes the DC solenoid 81 when a set time has elapsed after starting the motor 108, and restores the lever direction to the nine-way backward position shown in FIG. 6(C). Also, the sheet 15C that should be a page break is shown in Figure 6e.
At the point when it is flipped over as shown now, the control circuit 17 rotates the cam 202 that engages the left bracket 90 to its original position, and the left conveying roller 2a.

Press 3a onto passbook 9. Next, the control circuit 17 causes the right conveyance roller 2a' 3a to be lifted out of the passbook 9 by rotating the cam 202 that engages with the right bracket spool. As a result, the transport rollers 2a', 3a
Although there is a sufficient distance between the passbook 9 and the passbook 9, the passbook 9 is held between the pair of conveyance rollers on the left side, so that the passbook 9 does not move.

Next, the control circuit 17 rotates the motor 104k ti one turn, slides the page change row 249'kXt million times, and moves it to the reverse page change position (a detection signal is output from the photoelectric element 111). As a result of this movement, the paper sheet 15c that has been turned up as shown in FIG.
Superimposed on i. The end of the sheet 15c enters under the conveying rollers 2a', 3a' which are being pulled up.

Note that the page changing roller 49 may be rotated in the x6 direction when sliding. In this way, the sheet 15c stacked on the opposite side is pressed down from above by the page changing roller 49, which is effective in preventing the sheet i@15cf from floating. Such rotation of the page changing roller 49 can be easily realized by only partially changing the control procedure of the control circuit 17.

The control circuitry then rotates the cam 202, which engages the right platen 90, back to its original position, forcing the right transport roller 21,33' to press against the passbook 9. The state shown in FIG. 6 is now reached, and the forward page changing operation for one page is completed. In addition, the page changing roller 49 is
The page changing operation may be completed after sliding in two directions to the l@ direction page changing position (a detection signal is output from the photoelectric element 112).

After that, the page identification code is read and a check is made to see if the page change was performed correctly.

If it is determined to be correct, the printing operation proceeds.

On the other hand, if the page is incorrect, a new page change is performed in the forward or reverse direction.

The above is a description of the forward page change operation for one page. The operation of continuously changing pages in the forward direction for two or more pages is as shown in FIG.

From the state 11 in FIG. 7(a) (same as the state in FIG. 6(a)), the page change roller 49 is connected and rotated in the X direction the same number of times as the number of page breaks (for example, 3 pages).

As a result, as shown in FIG. 7(b), the sheets 15c, 15c', 15c'' of the connected pages are turned over one after another. When the page turning of the page (A) is completed, the value of the counter (A) becomes t]'', so the control circuit 17
performs the same control as described above. 'f, that is, the state shown in FIG. 7) is I+, and the page change is completed.

The difference between a page change operation in the reverse direction, that is, a page change operation in the direction in which the number of pages increases, and a page change operation in the forward direction... First, the page change roller 49 is set to the reverse page change position. , page up, then pull up to the left conveyance loaf 2a, 3a', and at the final stage, slide the page changer 89 in the x2 direction. That is, the rotation and sliding directions of the page change roller and the conveyance roller 2a.

The operation is the same as the forward page change operation except that the order of raising 3a, 2a', and 3a' is reversed. In this opposite direction,
・:□: The state transition of the page change operation is shown in FIG. In addition, in the reverse page changing operation (also in the stage shown in FIG. 8(B), by rotating the page changing roller 49 several times in succession, it is possible to continuously change a plurality of pages). That is clear.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various modifications may be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

For example, the shape and number of page change rollers, and the means for rotating and sliding the page change rollers can be changed as desired as long as the above-mentioned objectives can be achieved. It is also permitted to replace the conveyance roller with a belt.

Furthermore, the present invention can be widely applied to automatic page changing of not only left-right opening bankbooks but also similar booklets in general.

Effects of the Invention The present invention is as described above, and it is possible to change the pages of a booklet such as a left-right opening bankbook while it is being conveyed in the direction of the binding, and it is possible to change the pages of a booklet such as a left-right opening bankbook while the booklet is being conveyed in the binding direction. It is possible to realize an automatic page changing device suitable for bank business processing devices and the like. Further, in the present invention, pages are changed while a booklet such as a bankbook is stopped or stopped. Therefore, compared to a conventional device having a configuration in which the passing/suction, etc. are moved during the page changing operation, the page changing operation, particularly the continuous page changing operation of a plurality of pages, can be made faster.
