〔発明の目的〕
(産業上の利用分野)
本発明はたとえば郵便物の搬送路上に光学式情報読取装
置が配置され、この読取装置の検知面に郵便物を押付け
て搬送するのに適した紙葉類搬送装置の改良に関する。[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention is directed to, for example, an optical information reading device disposed on a mail conveyance path, and a mail object being pressed against the detection surface of the reading device. The present invention relates to an improvement in a paper sheet conveying device suitable for conveying paper sheets.
(従来の技術)
従来、たとえば郵便物自動処理装置においては第2図に
示すように光学式情報読取装置(1)の上面、すなわち
検知面に郵便物(P)を挟持搬送するため、2分割され
た下側電送ベルト(2a) 、 (2b)と。(Prior Art) Conventionally, for example, in an automatic mail processing device, as shown in FIG. 2, in order to convey a mail (P) while holding it on the upper surface of an optical information reading device (1), that is, on the detection surface, the mail is divided into two parts. lower transmission belts (2a) and (2b).

上を搬送する郵便物(P)を上記板ばね(6)の弾性力
により読取装置(1)の検知面に押付けて読取率を向上
させるようになっている。A conveyance path (4) is formed by stretching an upper conveyor belt (3) in contact with these lower conveyor belts (2a) and (2b), and a pinch roller (5a) is also formed on the upper conveyor belt (3). ) and (5b) are provided in contact with each other, and a leaf spring (6) is connected and pivoted to the shafts of these pinch rollers (5a) and (5b), and the conveyance path (4)
The reading rate is improved by pressing the mail (P) conveyed above against the detection surface of the reading device (1) by the elastic force of the leaf spring (6).
また、第3図は郵便物の全面を光学人情+41!読取装

設置されていない。A belt (8) wound around (5b) is provided in contact with the pinch rollers (5a) and (5b), and springs (9a) and (9b) are respectively attached to the pinch rollers (5a) and (5b). The belt (8) presses the upper conveyor belt (3) via the pinch rollers (5a) and (5b) due to the tension of the belts 9a) and (9b). However, the pinch rollers (5a) and (5b
) is installed only in the automatic mail reading and sorting machine, and is not necessary for the automatic mail sorting, sorting, stamping machine that only detects information on whether a stamp is affixed to the mail (P). Not yet.
しかし、近年は郵便物の表面または裏面に書込まれた文
字情報により郵便物の表裏を判定する必要が生じ、上記
自動選別取揃え押印機にも光学式情報読取装置(1)を
設置するようになってきた。However, in recent years, it has become necessary to determine whether the mail is front or back based on character information written on the front or back of the mail, and an optical information reader (1) has been installed in the automatic sorting, sorting, and stamping machines mentioned above. It has become.
しかるに、上記光学式情報読取装置(1)を郵便物自動

もとづく切手検出の視野および押印の範囲を確保するた
め所定の幅をもった搬送ベルトで挟持搬送するようにな
っている。However, when the above-mentioned optical information reading device (1) is installed in a postal automatic sorting, sorting, and stamping machine, the automatic mail sorting, sorting, and stamping machine normally reads the entire surface of the mail (P) up to the front of the reading device. 1) A special roller is used to convey the stamp for reading, and in the stamp detection section and the stamping section, the stamp is conveyed while being held by a conveyor belt with a predetermined width in order to ensure the field of view for stamp detection and stamping range based on the results of full-surface scanning. It looks like this.
すなわち、光学式情報読取装置(1)の検知面における
郵便物(P)の搬送方法が異なっている。That is, the method of conveying the mail (P) on the detection surface of the optical information reading device (1) is different.
また、第1図では郵便物(P)が光学式情報読取装置(

ための駆動源が必要となるため、スペースを広く設けな
ければならないという問題を有している。In addition, in Figure 1, the postal item (P) is detected by the optical information reader (
When the postal item (P) is conveyed to the detection surface in step 1), the center part of the mailpiece (P) has a weak pressure against the detection surface of the reader (1).
Therefore, there is a drawback that reading accuracy is adversely affected. In addition, in Fig. 2, the pressing force against the detection surface of the reading device (1) is strong, but a pinch mechanism and a drive source to drive the belt are required, so there is a problem that a large space must be provided. There is.
