Hereinafter, the media processing apparatus will be described in detail.

2 and 3 are schematic views illustrating a media processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the present specification, the advance of the media means that the media integrated in the media storage compartment are separated and discharged, and the entry of the media means that the media is integrated in the media storage compartment.

2 and 3, a media processing apparatus 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a transfer unit 31 for moving out of a medium or entering a medium, and the transfer unit 31. A guide unit 33 disposed at a position facing the center, a pickup unit 36 for picking up a medium for advancement of the medium, and a drive unit 32 for providing power to the guide unit 33. ) May be included.

The transfer unit 31 is connected to a first rotation shaft 311, at least one feed roller 312 coupled to the first rotation shaft 311, and one end of the first rotation shaft 311. A power source 314 for rotating the first rotary shaft 311 and a first gear 313 connected to the other end of the first rotary shaft 311 may be included.

The guide unit 33 is connected to the second rotary shaft 331, a first clutch 332 connected to one end of the second rotary shaft 331, and the other end of the second rotary shaft 311. Third clutch 335 connected to the second rotation shaft 331 between the second clutch 334, the first clutch 332 and the second clutch 334, and the third clutch 335 It may include one or more gate rollers (336) connected to the).

One way clutch is applied to each of the clutches 332, 334, and 335. The one-way clutch refers to a clutch in which power is transmitted only in one direction and power is not transmitted in the opposite direction. The one-way clutch includes an inner body, an outer body, and a plurality of rollers provided between the inner body and the outer body. Since the structure of the one-way clutch can be implemented by a known structure, a detailed description thereof will be omitted. As in the known structure, each clutch will be described herein as including an inner body and an outer body.

The second gear 333 is coupled to the outer body of the first clutch 332. The second rotating shaft 331 is coupled to the inner body of the first clutch 332. The second rotation shaft 331 may rotate together with the inner body of the first clutch 332. The second gear 333 meshes with the first gear 313.

The inner body of the second clutch 334 is coupled to the second rotation shaft 331. The outer body of the second clutch 334 is provided in the main body 10 and may be fixed to a frame (not shown) having a fixed position. That is, the external body of the second clutch 334 cannot move.

The second rotating shaft 331 is an example of the second rotating shaft 331 by the second clutch 334 fixed to the frame and the first clutch 332 connected to the second gear 333. Can only rotate clockwise.

Specifically, the second rotation shaft 331 may be rotated by receiving power from the transfer unit 31. In this case, the second rotation shaft 331 may be rotated clockwise only when the first rotation shaft 311 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction with reference to FIG. 2. In addition, the second rotation shaft 331 may be rotated together with the inner body of the second clutch 334 only in a clockwise direction.

That is, the outer body and the inner body of the first clutch 332 may be rotated together only in the clockwise direction. On the other hand, when the outer body of the first clutch 332 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction, the outer body and the inner body is in the idle state (IDLE) state, the inner body of the first clutch 332 is stopped without rotation Stay intact.

Therefore, when the first gear 313 is rotated in the clockwise direction, the outer body of the second gear 333 and the first clutch 332 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction, but of the first clutch 332 The inner body remains stationary. Therefore, the second rotation shaft 331 also maintains the stopped state. On the other hand, when the first gear 313 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction, the outer body of the second gear 333 and the first clutch 332 is rotated in the clockwise direction. In addition, the inner body of the first clutch 332 is rotated clockwise together with the outer body so that the second rotation shaft is rotated clockwise.

The inner body of the third clutch 335 is coupled to the second rotation shaft 331, and the outer body of the third clutch 335 is coupled to the gate roller 356.

The inner body of the third clutch 335 may be rotated together with the outer body of the third clutch 335 in a clockwise direction with reference to FIG. 2. On the other hand, when the inner body of the third clutch 335 is rotated counterclockwise, the outer body and the inner body of the third clutch 335 is in an idle state. That is, when the inner body of the third clutch 335 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction, the outer body of the third clutch 335 is in a stopped state unless an external force is applied. In the same principle, when the outer body of the third clutch 335 is rotated in a clockwise direction while the inner body of the third clutch 335 is fixed, the outer body of the third clutch 335 As the inner body is in an idle state, the outer body of the third clutch 335 may be rotated in a clockwise direction.

The drive unit 32 supplies power to the gate roller 336 only when the medium advances. The drive unit 32 includes a one-way clutch 322 to which an outer body 323 is connected by the gate roller 336 and a belt 325, and an inner body 324 of the one-way clutch 322. It may include a third rotary shaft 321 connected to.

The driving unit 32 may receive power from the transfer unit 31 to rotate the gate roller 336 in one direction (clockwise with reference to FIG. 2). For example, the driving unit 32 may include power transmission units 327 and 328, and the power transmission units 327 and 328 may connect the first gear 313 and the third rotation shaft 321. have. The power transmission units 327 and 328 are connected to the first transmission gear 327 which meshes with the first gear 313 and the third transmission shaft 321 which meshes with the first transmission gear 327. The second transmission gear 328 may be included. Therefore, the first gear (or feed roller) and the third rotation shaft 321 may be rotated in the same direction by the power transmission unit. In the present embodiment, as long as the third rotation shaft 321 can be rotated in the same direction by the feed roller 312, the number of gears constituting the power transmission unit is not limited.

As another example, the third rotation shaft 321 may be rotated by a power source separate from the power source 314 of the transfer unit 31. In this case, the operation of the separate power source may be controlled such that the third rotation shaft 321 is rotated in the same direction as the feed roller 312.

The power transmission units 327 and 328 reduce the rotation speed of the first rotation shaft 311 and transmit the deceleration to the third rotation shaft 321. Therefore, the rotation speed of the third rotation shaft 321 is lower than the rotation speed of the first rotation shaft 311.

The inner body 323 and the outer body 324 of the one-way clutch 322 may be rotated together in a clockwise direction with reference to FIG. 2.

Meanwhile, the pickup unit 36 may include a fourth rotation shaft 361 and a pick-up roller 362 connected to the fourth rotation shaft 361.

Hereinafter, the operation of the media processing apparatus will be described.

4 is a view showing the operation of the media processing apparatus at the time of media advance.

3 and 4, the pickup roller 362 is rotated clockwise (first direction) to advance the medium. Then, one of a plurality of media is picked up by the pickup roller 362 and moved to the feed roller 312 side.

In addition, the feed roller 312 is also rotated in the clockwise direction. As described above, when the feed roller 312 is rotated in the clockwise direction, the first gear 313 is rotated in the clockwise direction, and the second gear 333 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction (second direction). The second rotation shaft 331 cannot be rotated by the first clutch 332.

When the feed roller 312 is rotated in the clockwise direction, the third rotation shaft 321 is also rotated in the clockwise direction by the power transmission units 327 and 328. When the third rotation shaft 321 is rotated, the belt 325 is rotated in the clockwise direction, the gate roller 336 is rotated in the clockwise direction. As described above, since the gate roller 336 is connected by the second rotation shaft 331 and the third clutch 335, the gate roller 336 is in a state where the second rotation shaft 331 is stopped. Can be rotated clockwise.

That is, according to the present exemplary embodiment, since the gate roller 336 rotates in the same direction as the rotation direction of the feed roller 312 when the medium advances, the gap between the feed roller 312 and the gate roller 336 is increased. When the medium enters, the medium is prevented from being damaged, and the frictional force is increased to increase the separation force (transfer force) of the medium.

When the gate roller 336 does not receive power for clockwise rotation when the medium is advanced, the external body connected to the gate roller 356 is stopped when the medium is transported by the structural feature of the third clutch 335. After angular frictional rotation about the inner body, the spring is returned to its original position. Accordingly, the third clutch may be damaged by continuously rubbing the outer body and the inner body in the process of advancing a plurality of media.

However, according to the present exemplary embodiment, since the gate roller 356 may be rotated in the same direction (clockwise) as the feed roller 312 when the medium advances, the outer body and the inside of the third clutch 335 may be rotated. There is an advantage that the wear between the body is prevented.

5 is a view showing the operation of the media processing apparatus when entering the medium.

3 and 5, the feed roller 312 is rotated counterclockwise to enter the medium. On the other hand, the pickup roller 362 does not rotate.

When the feed roller 312 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction, the first gear 313 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction, and the second gear 333 is rotated in the clockwise direction (second direction). Then, the second rotation shaft 331 is rotated in the clockwise direction, the gate roller 336 is also rotated in the clockwise direction by the third clutch 335. When the gate roller 336 is rotated in the clockwise direction, the belt 325 and the outer body 324 of the one-way clutch 322 are also rotated in the clockwise direction.

In the present embodiment, the rotation speed of the gate roller 336 at the time of entering the medium is referred to as the first rotation speed, and when the rotation speed of the gate roller 336 at the time of entering the medium is referred to as the second rotation speed, the first rotation speed is determined. The rotation speed is smaller than the second rotation speed.

At this time, when the feed roller 312 is rotated counterclockwise, the third rotation shaft 321 is also rotated counterclockwise by the power transmission unit (327, 328). When the third rotation shaft 321 is rotated counterclockwise, the inner body 323 of the one-way clutch 322 is rotated counterclockwise. When the inner body 323 of the one-way clutch 322 is rotated counterclockwise, the one-way clutch 322 is in the idle state, so that the inner body 323 and the outer body 322 are in the opposite direction. Can be rotated. Thus, the gate roller 336 does not receive power from the drive unit 32 when the medium enters.

In the above embodiment, the media processing apparatus is described as being provided in the media storage box. Alternatively, the media processing apparatus may be located inside the media entry / exit unit. In this case, the entry of the medium means that the medium enters the medium storage space described with reference to FIG. 1, and the advance of the medium means that the medium of the medium storage space is picked up.
