Abstract

PURPOSE:To avoid the damage of a card and to ensure the smooth operation for a card reader of an automatic cash paying machine, etc., by giving a rotary replacement to the repeating direction of a card carrying roll and the guiding direction of a card carrying guide to switch the card carrying paths. CONSTITUTION:A driving roll 2 and a follower roll 4 are usually are set opposite to each other upper and lower sides of a card carrying surface. A card carrying guide 5 keeps a horizontal position to carry a correct card 8 to a processing part 9. An invalid card 8a is detected, and a bracket 3 is turned by the operation of the solenoid constituting a bracket turning means 6. In this case, the roll 4 has a displacement on the circumference surface of the roll 2. Both rolls 2 and 4 change the card draw-out direction to the oblique lower side in response to the revolving angle of the bracket 3. The guide 5 has a front lower displacement with its guiding direction in response to the carrying direction of both rolls 2 and 4. Thus the card 8a is carried out to a card recovery path 10.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Technical Field of the Invention> The present invention relates to a card conveyance path switching device used for sorting cards to the next processing section and collection section in, for example, an automatic teller machine or the like. Regarding.

<Prior Art and its Problems> In conventional card readers, proper cards are transported to the imprint section to perform the next process, while invalid cards are transported to the collection section to complete the processing. In order to collect such invalid cards, as shown in FIG. is positioned corresponding to the card transport surface, and when an invalid card 8a is detected, the collection guide surface 13 is exposed to the transport surface, and the invalid card 8a is guided along the collection guide surface 13 and sent to the collection section. There is. However, the collection guide surface 13 of the flapper 14 is formed into a circular curved surface with a small curvature in order to reduce the installation space for the card league.
A is forcibly curved along the collection guide surface 13 as shown in FIG. As a result, the edge of the card may be damaged or the entire card may be deformed, and in the case of a plastic card in particular, it is difficult to bend due to the elasticity of the material, which is one of the causes of various problems such as card jams.

<Object of the Invention> The present invention solves the conventional problems by switching the card conveyance path by rotationally displacing the feeding direction of the conveyance roller and the guiding direction of the cart's conveyance guide. A new J that can realize smooth operation of the league
The object of the present invention is to provide a transport path switching device for a node.

<Description of Embodiments> The drawing shows a part of a card reader, in which a card transport path switching device, which is a feature of the present invention, is provided on the downstream side of a magnetic head (not shown) on the card transport surface. There is.

This conveyance path switching device 1 includes a bracket 3 rotatably disposed on a rotating shaft 21 of a drive roller 2 which is supported on a frame 11, and a driven roller 4 that is paired with the drive roller 2 and a roller feeding out to the bracket 3. Card transport guide 5 to the side
are installed in one piece. This bracket 3 is further connected with a bracket rotation means 6 such as a solenoid for forcibly rotating the bracket, and the bracket rotation means 6 is equipped with a return means 7 such as a spring that causes the bracket 3 to return to rotation. are doing.

The driven roller 4 is attached to a spring-type support piece 41 whose base end is attached to the bracket 3 so as to be able to move downward. By rotating the bracket 30, the position facing the drive roller 2 is displaced, and the direction in which the cards are delivered by both rollers 2 and 4 is changed to forward and downward. Said bracket 3
A pair of card position detection sensors 51 and 52 are arranged facing each other vertically on the card transport kite 5 which is integrally attached to the card transport kite 5. When the bracket 3 rotates, the card transport guide 5 also tilts forward. Change the direction of card guidance.

However, under normal conditions, the drive roller 2 and the driven roller 4 are located above and below the card transport surface, facing each other, and the transport guide 5 maintains a horizontal state along the card transport surface, so that the proper card 8 being transported is moved to the imprint section, etc. It is transported to the subsequent processing section 9 (FIG. 1).

Now, when the invalid card 8a is detected and the bracket 3 is rotated by the operation of the solenoid constituting the bracket rotation means 6, the driven roller 4 supported by the bracket 3 displaces the circumferential surface of the drive roller 2, Both rollers 2 and 4 tilt and change the card feeding direction downward in accordance with the rotation angle of the bracket 3. At this time, the guide direction of the conveyance guide 5 attached to the bracket 3 is displaced forward and downward according to the conveyance direction of both rollers 2I4, and the invalid card 8a is conveyed to the collection path 10.

After collecting the invalid card, the bracket 1-3 is returned to its original state by the return means 7, and the roller 4 and conveyance guide 5 are returned to the proper state.
It maintains the conveyance path for the road.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, the present invention displaces the conveyance roller and the conveyance guide to change the conveyance direction of the card, so the card always has a '12 plate shape, unlike the conventional one. Since the device does not have a narrow surface, damage to the notebook and clogging in the card league are eliminated, and smooth operation of the device can be realized, which has the effect of achieving the purpose of the invention.
