Description

Booklet medium handling device {BOOKLET MEDIUM-HANDLING DEVICE}

The present invention relates to a booklet media handling apparatus.

An ATM (Automated Teller Machine) and a bankbook issuer installed in a financial institution or the like have a page turning device for printing a predetermined page of the bankbook or for covering and returning a received bankbook.

The page turning apparatus includes a pressure mechanism that pushes up the bankbook from the lower surface side of the conveying path, and makes the page turning easy by bending the bankbook.

For example, FIG. 18: is a figure which shows the operation example of the pressure in the page turning mechanism which is a related art, The page turning mechanism 80 is a conveyance roller 82 and 86 which opposes a conveyance path between them, Conveying rollers 83 and 84; In addition, the page turning mechanism 80 has a turning roller 81 coaxially between the conveying rollers 82 and the conveying rollers 82, 86 and the conveying rollers 83, 84 on the lower surface of the conveying path. 85).

The pressure 85 bends a bankbook by pushing the bankbook 90 from below, and the page turning by the turning roller 81 is facilitated. However, since the bending width of the bankbook 90 changes depending on the thickness of the push-up portion of the bankbook 90 that the pressure 85 pushes up, the bending width of the bankbook 90 does not necessarily become a preferable state.

For example, when the thickness of the push-up portion of the bankbook 90 is thick (for example, 10 sheets including a cover and an inlay), the bending width d3 of the bankbook 90 becomes relatively large (Fig. 18 ( a)). And when the thickness of the push-up part of the bankbook 90 is thin (for example, only one cover), the bending width d4 of the bankbook 90 becomes relatively small (FIG. 18 (b)).

In addition, as a related art, a page turning device has been proposed which detects the thickness distribution of a page for executing page turning and assists the page turning operation by the pressure when there is an abnormality in the detected thickness distribution of the page (for example, For example, refer patent document 1).

Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-66686

However, the amount of push-up of the passbook by the pressure is constant regardless of the thickness and state of the passbook. For this reason, the relationship between the turning roller and the turning target page is different each time the turning operation is performed.

If the amount of push-up of the passbook by the pressure is too small, the turning roller may fail to turn. If the pressure is too large, the two may turn the two sheets.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a booklet media handling apparatus that enables a user to stably push up a bankbook even if there is a variation in the thickness or state of the bankbook.

In order to solve the said subject, the booklet medium handling apparatus includes the pressure mechanism which pushes up a booklet medium from the lower surface side of the conveyance path which conveys a booklet medium, The pressure mechanism is a drive part, a main body part, a base part, A displacement amount limiter.

The body portion has a contact surface in contact with the booklet medium. The base portion is connected to the drive portion. The displacement amount limiting portion transmits the displacement of the base portion according to the push-up operation by the drive portion to the main body, and is elastically deformed by the push-up load of the booklet medium to limit the displacement amount of the main body portion than the displacement amount of the base portion.

According to the said booklet media handling apparatus, even if there is a fluctuation in the thickness and state of a bankbook, a bankbook can be pushed up stably.

The conveying rollers 31a and 31b oppose the conveying roller (following roller: not shown) with the conveying path interposed therebetween.

The pressures 100a, 100b, and 100c (corresponding to the pressure 100 described later, respectively) are pivotally supported by a shaft (not shown), and rotate according to the rotation of the shaft. The pressure 100a, 100b, 100c advances (protrudes) or retreats from the conveyance surface 5 to a conveyance path | route by rotation of a shaft. When pressure 100a, 100b, 100c advances from the conveyance surface 5, it bends by pushing up the bank 90 from the lower surface, and the page turning of the bank 90 by the turning rollers 21a, 21b, 21c is carried out. To facilitate. The pressure 100a, 100b, 100c is arrange | positioned on the line L1, L2, L3 so that it may be located in the width | variety of the passbook 90 conveyed by a conveyance path. The pressure 100b is located in the width direction center part (line L2) of the bankbook 90, and the pressures 100a, 100c are located in the width direction edge part (lines L1, L3) of the bankbook 90. The pressure 100c is located at the line L3 on the magnetic stripe 91 of the passbook 90. The lines L1, L2, and L3 are an uneven arrangement in which the lines L2 and L3 are narrower than the lines L1 and L2. Moreover, turning rollers 21a, 21b, 21c are disposed on the lines L1, L2, L3, respectively.

The bankbook 90 used here has a book-like structure in which a plurality of inflexible (soft) inlays are inserted into a relatively rigid (hard) cover. The bankbook 90 shown in FIG. 3 is a state unfolded centering on the constricted portion, and the cover includes a magnetic stripe 91 having a predetermined thickness and having a strip shape. The magnetic stripe 91 can record necessary information and can read and write information by a reader / writer (not shown).

Next, the schematic structure of the page turning mechanism which the page turning apparatus 1 has is demonstrated using FIG. 4 is a schematic view of the main parts for explaining the page turning mechanism of the embodiment;

The page turning mechanism 10 is a conveying mechanism of the passbook 90, which includes a conveying surface 5, conveying rollers 31, 51, 61 serving as driving rollers, and conveying rollers 41, 22, 71 serving as driven rollers. Include. The conveyance roller 61 opposes the conveyance roller 71 through the conveyance path, the conveyance roller 51 opposes the conveyance roller 22 via the conveyance path, and the conveyance roller 31 is And the conveyance roller 41 are opposed through the conveyance path.

Moreover, the conveyance path is formed by the conveyance path upper surface and the conveyance path lower surface, the conveyance path upper surface is formed by the movable guides 3 and 4 and the guide 6, and the conveyance path lower surface is the conveyance surface 5 and the pressure It is formed by (100, 200).

The page turning mechanism 10 includes the movable guide 3, the conveying surface 5, the guide 6, the turning roller 21, the conveying rollers 22, 31, 41, 51, and the pressure 100. One page turning mechanism (first page turning mechanism) is configured. The page turning mechanism 10 moves the movable guide 4, the conveying surface 5, the guide 6, the turning roller 21, the conveying rollers 22, 51, 61, 71, and the pressure 200. A second page turning mechanism (second page turning mechanism). That is, the page turning mechanism 10 has two page turning mechanisms which share the turning roller 21 and the conveying rollers 22 and 51.

In order to simplify the description, the description of the second page turning mechanism that performs the same operation will be omitted, and the first page turning mechanism will be described. The first page turning mechanism and the second page turning mechanism share page turning where one side sends a page, and share page turning that the other returns a page. For example, the first page turning mechanism shares page turning for sending the page, and the second page turning mechanism shares page turning for returning the page.

The conveyance roller 51 is rotatably fixed to the shaft (not shown) which transmits the driving force from a motor. The conveyance roller 51 is able to move up and down with respect to the conveyance path, and the roller surface is contacted with the passbook 90 at the time of conveyance, pressed and rotated between the conveyance roller 22, and the conveyance path 51 is rotated. So move it.

The conveyance roller 22 is pivotally supported by the shaft 20 so that rotation is possible, and follows the rotation of the conveyance roller 51. As shown in FIG. The turning roller 21 is fixed to the shaft 20 which pivotally supports the conveyance roller 22. The turning roller 21 is made of an elastic material such as rubber having a relatively high frictional force, the main part of which has a substantially fan-shaped cross-sectional shape, and the fan-shaped curved portion becomes a friction contact surface with respect to the turning target page. As the turning roller 21 rotates, the frictional contact surface of the curved shape is brought into contact with the turning target page as the shaft 20 rotates. The turning roller 21 is provided with a plurality (for example, three) in the shaft at the same attachment angle, and presses the passbook 90 simultaneously in several places (for example, three places of right and left). The distance from the frictional contact surface to the center of the shaft is larger than the radius of the conveying roller 22. Moreover, the conveyance surface 5 has a recessed part in the vicinity of the turning roller 21 so that it may not interfere with the turning roller 21.

The conveying roller 31 is rotatably fixed to the shaft 30 that transmits the driving force from the motor. The conveyance roller 31 contacts a bank surface 90 at the time of conveyance, presses with the conveyance roller 41, and rotates it, and moves the bankbook 90 along a conveyance path. The conveyance roller 41 is pivotally supported by the shaft (not shown) so that rotation is possible, and it can be elevated with respect to the conveyance path, and follows the rotation of the conveyance roller 31.

The pressure 100 is rotatably fitted to the shaft that transmits the driving force from the motor, and is capable of lifting up and down the conveying path. In response to the rotation of the shaft, the pressure 100 pushes the bank 90 by bringing the pressure main body into contact with the cover portion of the bank 90 that corresponds to the turning target page. The pressure 100 will be described in detail later.

The movable guide 3 is switchable to a closed state and an open state by the drive mechanism not shown, and forms the upper surface of a conveyance path in a closed state. The movable guide 3 avoids the interference with the bankbook 90 pushed up by the pressure 100 in the open state. In addition, the movable guide 3 supports the page turned up by the turning roller 21. The conveyance surface 5 and the guide 6 are fixed passbook sliding surfaces. The fixed bank sliding surface is provided in the conveyance path front-back direction avoiding the interference area with a movable member, and forms a part of conveyance path.

Next, the pressure mechanism will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7. 5 is a perspective view of the pressure mechanism of the embodiment. 6 is an exploded perspective view of the pressure mechanism of the embodiment. It is a cross-sectional schematic diagram for demonstrating the restriction | limiting of the rotation amount of the pressure body of embodiment. The pressure mechanism is configured to include a pressure unit 100 and a drive unit for driving the pressure unit 100. The drive unit is configured to include a motor (not shown) and a shaft (drive unit) 190 for transmitting a driving force of the motor.

The pressure 100 is configured to include a pressure body 110, a pressure guide (base portion) 120, and a spring 130. The pressure main body 110 is pivotally supported by the shaft 190 by inserting the shaft 190 into the shaft insertion hole 116. The pressure main body 110 has a contact surface 111, a conveying surface 112, a tapered surface 113, a conveying surface 114, and a tapered surface 115 on the surface on the side facing the conveying surface 5. The conveying surface 112, the tapered surface 113, and the conveying surface 114 become substantially the same surface as the conveying surface 5 in a state where the pressure 100 retreats from the conveying path. The tapered surface 113 and the tapered surface 115 have a predetermined inclination with respect to the conveyance surface 114 in order to reduce the conveyance resistance of the bankbook 90. The contact surface 111 is in contact with the bankbook 90 serving as the push-up object in the state where the pressure 100 has advanced from the conveying surface 5 to the conveying path.

The pressure guide 120 is a plate-shaped sheet metal member that is bent, and has a first U-shaped cross-section U-shaped in the center and a second U-shaped cross-section at one end adjacent to the first recess 123. It has the recessed part 124, and has the spring arrangement part 125 of a tongue shape at the other end. The first recess 123 includes stoppers 121 on both sides of the bottom of the recess. The 1st recessed part 123 avoids interference with the drive shaft (shaft) of another movable member in the state in which the pressure 100 does not protrude from the conveyance surface 5. The second recess 124 has a guide hole 122 in the bottom of the recess. The pressure guide 120 passes the shaft 190 through the second recess 124, inserts a small screw 140 into the guide hole 122, and screws the screw 190 in the screw hole 202. It is fixed to). The spring arrangement part 125 arranges (supports) the spring 130.

The pressure main body 110 is supported by the spring 130 which consists of a compression coil spring. The rotation operation of the shaft 190 is transmitted to the pressure main body 110 through the pressure guide 120 and the spring 130 provided between the pressure guide 120 and the pressure main body 110. At this time, if a predetermined load or more is applied to the pressure main body 110, the amount of rotation R2 of the pressure main body 110 is reduced by the elastic deformation (compression) of the spring 130. It is limited to smaller than the amount of rotation R1. Therefore, the spring 130 functions as a rotation amount (displacement amount) limiting section that limits the rotation amount of the pressure body 110. The spring 130 may be another spring, such as a torsion spring, a tension coil spring, or the like. If the amount of displacement is limited by elastic deformation, the spring 130 is not limited to the spring and may be an elastic member such as rubber or urethane.

The limited amount restricting unit 117 is a chassis open to the pressure main body 110, and comes into contact with the stopper portion 121 moving inside the chassis, whereby the amount of rotation of the pressure main body 110 relative to the pressure guide 120 is reduced. Regulate R3. In the state where the load is not applied to the pressure main body 110, the limited amount regulating unit 117 contacts the stopper 121 at the lower end of the chassis, and in the state where the load is applied to the pressure main body 110 or more, In contact with the stopper 121.

The stopper portion 121 in contact with the limit amount regulating portion 117 and the upper end of the chassis in a state where the spring 130 has compressed a predetermined amount or more supports the pressure body 110 together with the spring 130. In this way, the limited amount regulating portion 117 has a function of regulating the limited amount of rotation of the pressure body 110 that the spring 130 restricts to a predetermined range.

As described above, since the amount of rotation R3 relative to the pressure guide 120 increases in response to the load applied to the contact surface 111, the pressure main body 110 is bent in the passbook 90 pushed by the pressure main body 110. Can be kept within a predetermined range. Specifically, since the load on the contact surface 111 is small when the thickness of the passbook 90 pushed up by the pressure body 110 is small, the pressure body 110 rotates to the same degree as the pressure guide 120. do. When the thickness of the passbook 90 pushed up by the pressure body 110 is large, since the load applied to the contact surface 111 is large, the pressure body 110 has a smaller amount of rotation than the pressure guide 120.

Next, the change of the rotation amount by the load with respect to the pressure main body 110 is demonstrated using FIG. 8, FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the pressure mechanism when the load applied to the pressure body of the embodiment is small. 9 is a perspective view of the pressure mechanism when the load applied to the pressure body of the embodiment is large.

When the pressure on the pressure body 110 is small when the pressure body 110 pushes up the passbook 90, the spring 130 is hardly compressed (FIG. 8). Therefore, the pressure main body 110 rotates to the same extent as the pressure guide 120 using the shaft 190 as a rotation shaft.

When the pressure main body 110 pushes up the passbook 90, when the load applied to the pressure main body 110 is large, the spring 130 is compressed (FIG. 9). Therefore, although the pressure main body 110 rotates using the shaft 190 as a rotation shaft, the rotation amount of the pressure main body 110 becomes small compared with the rotation amount of the pressure guide 120. FIG.

In a state in which there is no load or very small, the stopper portion 121 of the pressure guide 120 may contact the limiting restriction portion 117 to support the pressure main body 110. In this case, when there is a load in a predetermined range, the spring body 130 is compressed to press the pressure guide 120 so that the stopper portion 121 does not come into contact with the limited amount regulating portion 117. 110).

When the load applied to the pressure body 110 is small, for example, when the number of pages on the push-up side is small in the unfolded state centering on the site where the bank 90 is held, the paper thickness of the bank 90 is thin. Etc. On the other hand, when the load on the pressure main body 110 is large, for example, when the number of pages on the push-up side is large in the unfolded state centering on the site where the bankbook 90 is bound, the paper thickness of the bankbook 90 is When the thickness is thick, magnetic stripes or seals are adhered to the cover, such that the thickness of the cover increases.

Next, an operation example of the page turning mechanism 10 when the load applied to the pressure 100 is large will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 to 13. 10-13 is a figure explaining the operation example of the page turning mechanism when the load applied to the pressure main body 110 of embodiment is large. When the load applied to the pressure 100 is large, the page turning operation performed by the page turning mechanism 10 will be described based on an example when the bankbook 90 pushed up by the pressure 100 is thick.

The page turning mechanism 10 conveys to the predetermined position suitable for page turning in the state which extended the passbook 90 from the left to the right in the figure (FIG. 10 (a)). At this time, the turning target page of the passbook 90 is located under the turning roller 21. On the pressure 100, the side containing the turning target page of the bankbook 90 which spreads out centering on a rigid site | part is located. The bankbook 90 shown has a relatively thick thickness on the side including the page to be turned of the bankbook 90 which is opened centering on the rigid portion.

The page turning mechanism 10 locks the conveying roller 31 (Fig. 10 (b)). The page turning mechanism 10 holds the passbook 90 between the conveyance roller 31 and the conveyance roller 41 facing the conveyance roller 31. As a result, the page turning mechanism 10 does not allow the passbook 90 to move to the right when the passbook 100 is pushed up by the pressure 100. Moreover, the page turning mechanism 10 switches the movable guide 3 to an open state (FIG. 10 (b)). Thereby, the page turning mechanism 10 avoids the interference of the bankbook 90 and the movable guide 3 pushed up by the pressure 100. Moreover, the page turning mechanism 10 retracts the conveyance roller 51 from a conveyance path (FIG. 10 (b)). As a result, the page turning mechanism 10 avoids the conveying roller 51 from disturbing the bending of the passbook 90. Moreover, the page turning mechanism 10 advances the pressure 100 to a conveyance path, and pushes up the passbook 90 (FIG. 10 (b)). As a result, the page turning mechanism 10 bends the passbook 90 to facilitate page turning by the turning roller 21.

At this time, since the side including the page to be turned of the passbook 90 has a relatively thick thickness, the load applied to the pressure 100 is relatively larger than when it is thin. The pressure 100 suppresses the amount of push-up of the bankbook 90 by compressing the spring 130 in accordance with the load.

In this way, the page turning mechanism 10 has a relatively thick thickness on the side including the page to be turned of the passbook 90 even though the pushup amount of the passbook 90 is suppressed, so that the conveying roller 22 and the pressure 100 The bending width d1 of the passbook 90 which bends as a point becomes a preferable range.

The page turning mechanism 10 turns the turning target page by rotating the turning roller 21 counterclockwise (Fig. 11 (a)). In this way, the page turning mechanism 10 holds the turning target page by the turning roller 21. In addition, the page turning mechanism 10 causes the pressure 100 to be retracted from the conveying path (FIG. 11B). Accordingly, the page turning mechanism 10 prevents two turnings by releasing bending other than the turning target page among the pushed-up bankbooks 90.

The page turning mechanism 10 turns the turning object page onto the turning roller 21 by further rotating the turning roller 21 counterclockwise (FIG. 12 (a)). Moreover, the page turning mechanism 10 advances the conveyance roller 51 which retreated from the conveyance path to a conveyance path (FIG. 12 (b)). As a result, the page turning mechanism 10 holds the passbook 90 between the conveying roller 51 and the conveying roller 22 facing the conveying roller 51. And the page turning mechanism 10 conveys the bankbook 90 from the right side to the left side in the figure (FIG. 12 (b)).

The page turning mechanism 10 switches the movable guide 3 to the closed state, rotates the conveyance roller 31 clockwise to return itself to the initial position (FIG. 13).

In this way, the page turning mechanism 10 can preferably page turn the passbook 90 having a relatively thick thickness on the side including the page to be turned.

Next, an operation example of the page turning mechanism 10 when the load applied to the pressure 100 is small will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 to 17. 14-17 is a figure explaining the operation example of the page turning mechanism when the load applied to the pressure main body 110 of embodiment is small. When the load applied to the pressure 100 is small, the page turning operation performed by the page turning mechanism 10 when the bankbook 90 pushed up by the pressure 100 is thin will be described.

The page turning mechanism 10 conveys to the predetermined position suitable for page turning in the state which extended the passbook 90 from the left side to the right side in the figure (FIG. 14 (a)). At this time, the turning target page of the passbook 90 is located under the turning roller 21. On the pressure 100, the side containing the turning target page of the bankbook 90 which spreads out centering on a rigid site | part is located. The bankbook 90 shown has a relatively small thickness on the side including the page to be turned of the bankbook 90 which is opened around the rigid portion.

The page turning mechanism 10 locks the conveying roller 31 (Fig. 14 (b)). The page turning mechanism 10 holds the passbook 90 between the conveyance roller 31 and the conveyance roller 41 facing the conveyance roller 31. As a result, the page turning mechanism 10 does not allow the passbook 90 to move to the right when the passbook 100 is pushed up by the pressure 100. Moreover, the page turning mechanism 10 switches the movable guide 3 to an open state (FIG. 14 (b)). As a result, the page turning mechanism 10 avoids the interference between the bankbook 90 pushed by the pressure 100 and the movable guide 3. Moreover, the page turning mechanism 10 moves the conveyance roller 51 back from a conveyance path (FIG. 14 (b)). As a result, the page turning mechanism 10 avoids the conveying roller 51 from disturbing the bending of the passbook 90. Moreover, the page turning mechanism 10 advances the pressure 100 from the conveyance path and pushes up the passbook 90 (FIG. 14 (b)). As a result, the page turning mechanism 10 bends the passbook 90 to facilitate page turning by the turning roller 21.

At this time, since the side including the page to be turned of the passbook 90 has a relatively small thickness, the load applied to the pressure 100 is relatively small compared with the thick. Since the pressure 100 has a small load, the pressure 100 pushes up the passbook 90 without compressing the spring 130. At this time, the pressure 100 pushes up the passbook 90 without suppressing the amount of push-ups.

In this way, the page turning mechanism 10 does not suppress the push-up amount of the passbook 90 even when the side including the page to be turned of the passbook 90 has a relatively small thickness, so that the page turning mechanism 10 The bending width d2 of the passbook 90 bent with the pressure 100 as a point is in a preferred range.

The page turning mechanism 10 rotates the turning roller 21 counterclockwise to turn the page to be turned (Fig. 15 (a)). In this way, the page turning mechanism 10 holds the turning target page by the turning roller 21. In addition, the page turning mechanism 10 causes the pressure 100 to be retracted from the conveying path (Fig. 15 (b)). Accordingly, the page turning mechanism 10 prevents two turnings by releasing bending other than the turning target page among the pushed-up bankbooks 90.

The page turning mechanism 10 further rotates the turning roller 21 counterclockwise to turn up the turning target page onto the turning roller 21 (FIG. 16 (a)). Moreover, the page turning mechanism 10 advances the conveyance roller 51 which retreated from the conveyance path to a conveyance path (FIG. 16 (b)). Thereby, the page turning mechanism 10 maintains the bankbook 90 between the conveyance roller 51 and the conveyance roller 22 which opposes the conveyance roller 51. And the page turning mechanism 10 conveys the bankbook 90 from the right side to the left side in the figure (FIG. 16 (b)).

The page turning mechanism 10 switches the movable guide 3 to the closed state, rotates the conveying roller 31 clockwise, and returns itself to the initial position (FIG. 17).

In this way, the page turning mechanism 10 can page turn the passbook 90 having a relatively small thickness on the side including the page to be turned.

In addition, the page turning mechanism 10 can perform a stable push-up of the bankbook even if there is a variation in the thickness and state of the bankbook, thereby realizing desirable page turning.

In addition, although the page turning mechanism 10 set the movable range (rising range) of the pressure 100 to 3 mm-5 mm, for example, it can be made into 2 mm-8 mm, etc. The range of response to variations in thickness or condition is expanded.

Although the spring 130 showed the example which limits the rotation amount of the pressure main body 110, when the pressure main body performs linear motion of an up-down direction, for example, you may make it restrict | limit the movement amount (displacement amount) of a linear direction. .

The above-mentioned embodiment can be variously changed within the range which does not deviate from the summary of embodiment.

In addition, the above-described embodiment is capable of many variations and modifications by those skilled in the art, and is not limited to the precise configuration and application examples described.
