Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a booklet printer in, for example, a bank terminal device, and a booklet handling device suitable for this booklet printer.

[Conventional technology]

Passbook printers installed in automatic cash deposit and withdrawal machines.

In bankbook printers used by staff, the machine automatically turns the pages as necessary and prints where necessary.

The passbooks handled by this passbook printer are roughly divided into two types: passbooks that open left and right, with the binding section perpendicular to the printing direction, i.e., vertically opening passbooks, and passbooks that open vertically, that is, horizontally open, with the binding section running in the horizontal direction. .

Therefore, some of the above-mentioned passbook printers have a mechanism that allows the pages of these two types of passbooks to be turned over.

That is, for example, as described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 63-9564, a conveying means for conveying booklets in an open state has an angle of about 4 mm with respect to the conveying direction of the booklets conveyed by this conveying means.
The rolling body is arranged at a 5° angle.

This turning body is rotated in contact with the page of the booklet to inflate the page, and then moved in the direction of approximately 45° to open the page. The pages of booklets are slightly curved to prevent them from being turned over.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the above conventional technology, the mechanism is complicated because the turning roller for opening the pages of one booklet performs two operations: rotational movement and translational movement in a direction approximately 45 degrees with respect to the conveyance direction of the booklet. Furthermore, there was a problem that processing time was not taken into account, resulting in high costs and slow processing.

A first object of the present invention is to provide a booklet printer that is capable of handling vertical and horizontal type booklets, has a simple mechanism, and has a short Fffl during processing.

A second object of the present invention is to provide a booklet processing device that is used in the booklet printer described above and has a simple mechanism and short processing time.

[Means to solve the problem]

The first purpose is to arrange the page changing roller obliquely to the conveying direction of a booklet, and to arrange a paper guide near the page changing roller that is substantially orthogonal to the rotational direction of the page changing roller. This is achieved by

The second purpose is to provide a means for detecting the type of booklet in the main body, a reading section for reading the information contained in the booklet, a page changing section for opening the necessary pages of the booklet, and a means for printing on the pages. This is achieved by providing a printing section and a conveyance section for conveying the booklet.

[Effect]

When changing the pages of a booklet, a hollow page changing roller provided diagonally in the conveyance direction rotates and turns over the top page of a booklet while touching it. When the page is turned over to a certain extent, the booklet.

The paper guide is installed diagonally to the conveyance direction.
The turned-up pages are conveyed so as to collide with each other. As a result, the page obliquely collides with the guide and receives one reaction force. The direction of the reaction force is at an angle α0 (α'
=360°-00) direction. Therefore, the turned-up page of the booklet is moved in the direction of the angle α6 from the paper guide surface. This movement means a rotational movement of the page with the binding section as the center line. Gives a flipping effect.

Also, the booklet inserted from the booklet insertion slot of the printer is
T! III) The type of child is detected based on the position of the magnetic stripe attached to the cover of the child and the information recorded on the magnetic stripe, and based on this detection signal, the booklet is aligned and the necessary pages are opened. After that, the printing process is performed by the printing section.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

FIG. 1 is a partially sectional plan view showing the main parts of an embodiment of the booklet handling device of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a partially sectional side view of FIG. 1.

Figures 3 and 4 show the booklets that are handled. FIG. 3 shows a booklet 1 that opens horizontally or vertically, and FIG. 4 shows a booklet 4 that opens horizontally or vertically. The pages of the left-right open book 7-1 shown in FIG. 3 are turned in the turning direction B around the binding section 2. The direction of the binding portion 2 and the direction of the printing 3 are perpendicular to each other.Normally, the left-right booklet 1 is inserted into a printer (not shown) in an insertion direction A.

The pages of the vertically open NTT book 4 shown in FIG. 3 are turned in the turning direction B around the binding section 2. In this booklet 4,
Unlike the above-mentioned left-right opening booklet l, the direction of the binding part 2 and the printing 3
The directions of are parallel. Also.

Normally, the top-down booklet 4 is inserted into the printer in the insertion direction A. In FIGS. 1 and 2, a paper pan 5 serving as a first guide faces the paper pan 5.

The paper guide 6, which is the third guide, and the paper guide 7, which is the second guide, are provided with an arbitrary gap in the direction out of the plane of the drawing, and form a conveyance path for conveying the booklet.

Said paper bread5. The paper guide 7 is attached to the frame 1
It is installed between 2 and 13. Further, the paper guide 6 is attached to the frame 12 on the opposite side to the side on which the page flipping roller 10, which will be described later, is arranged with respect to the conveying direction of one booklet.

The span L6 of the frames 12 and 13 is at least the third
Widths LX and L4 in the printing direction of the booklet shown in Figures and Figure 4
The line 14, which must be longer, represents the locus of the bound portion 2 of the left-right open booklet 1 shown in FIG. 3 being conveyed in the conveying direction A. The span L6 of the paper guide 6 is set to be at least shorter than the span L8.
It is arranged on the -right side with respect to the center of the booklet in the transport direction.

The paper guide 7 and the rotating shaft 21 of the page change roller 10 are oblique to the conveying direction A, as shown in FIG. The page changing roller 1° is driven by a motor 11 via a belt 2o. Note that the page change roller 1o may be driven by other methods. The conveying roller 8 is rotatably disposed in the above-mentioned paper guide 6 so as to be in contact with the conveying roller 27. Further, the conveyance roller 9 is mounted on a mounting fixture 2 so as to be in contact with the conveyance roller 26 at the above-mentioned paper guide 7 disposed portion.
4 and is rotatably arranged.

Furthermore, the conveyance roller 22 is also rotatably disposed on a mounting fixture 25 at the disposed portion of the paper guide 7.

The distance L7 between the conveyance roller 8 and the conveyance roller 9 and the distance L8 between the conveyance roller 9 and the conveyance roller 22 must be at least shorter than the length of the booklet 1 or 4 in the conveyance direction. The distance L9 must be at least longer than the length of the booklet in the conveyance direction, because the page of the booklet 1 or 4 turned up by the page changing roller 10 is moved by the paper guide 7 with the binding section 2 centered. When the pages are rotated, the pages initially shift in the transport direction due to the restoring force generated from the physical properties of the paper and the binding of the booklet.
This is because it is necessary to free the turned pages of the booklet. The sensor 15 is for determining the stopping position of the booklet 1 or 4.

FIG. 5 shows a specific example of the page changing roller 10 in this embodiment.
It has 12. This frictional contact part 112 has a structure that can absorb changes in booklet thickness through elastic deformation.
3, and has a hollow elastic body structure made of high friction materials such as chloroprene and natural rubber. This friction contact portion 112 is
Its shape is determined by the first curved surface section 114 having the first contour #- and the second curved surface section 115 having the second contour curve. Note that the first and second curved surface portions 11
4 and 115 may be straight lines instead of curves. Also,
The core metal part 111 is made of a sintered metal such as iron, and has a recess 116 in the center into which the rotating shaft 21 is fitted. The aforementioned core metal part 111 and frictional contact part 112 are joined by a rubber lining. After this joining, the core metal part 111 and the friction contact part 112 have a step, and a picker part 117 is formed in this part.

This picker portion 117 engages the tip of the turned paper, and if this portion is coated with a friction member such as rubber, it has the effect of increasing the force for stopping the paper after engaging the paper.

Next, using FIGS. 6 to 16, the upper and lower space booklet 4
The operation of changing pages will be explained. Figures 6 to 16
In the drawings, FIGS. 6 to 11 are side views for explaining the operation, and FIGS. 12 to 16 are plan views.

First, one booklet 4 is conveyed while being held between the conveyance rollers 8 and 27 and enters the page change section, and is
It stops at the page change position (Fig. 6).

At this time, the page 4a with the mark 28 is located on the side of the page changing roller 10 with the binding part 2 of the booklet 4 as the center line (FIG. 12). 10 in the turning direction C, and turn page 4 on the front of booklet 4.
Flip it up as if sending a to binding section 2 (Fig. 7).
Then, the page changing roller 10 rotates about one revolution and stops at the stop position (FIGS. 8 and 13). 6 Next, the conveying roller 8
and 27. The conveyance rollers 9 and 26 are rotated in the rotational direction d to convey the booklet 4 in the conveyance direction, and the turned-up page 4a is further turned over (FIG. 9).

At this time, as shown in FIG. 14, the page 1a collides with the paper guide 7 and applies a collision force f to the paper guide 7. As described above, since the paper guide 7 is oblique to the conveying direction of the booklet 4, the force f is divided into a vertical component force fn and a tangential component force fc. On this occasion,
The force ft in the tangential direction moves the page 1a of the booklet 4 toward the binding section 2.
This is the force that gives rotational motion about the center line. continuation,
When the conveyance rollers 8 and 27 and the conveyance rollers 9 and 26 are rotated in the rotation direction d and one booklet 4 is conveyed in the conveyance direction, the page 1a is largely repelled by the physical properties of the paper and the paper guide 7 (
(Fig. 10), when the booklet 4 is further conveyed in this state, the page 1a will be printed with the binding section 2 as the center line, as shown in Fig. 15.
Flips to the other side. Therefore, the mark 28 is also hidden on the back side. Further, when the booklet 4 is sent in the transport direction.

The page 1a is completely changed. After this page changing operation is completed, by further feeding the booklet 4 in the transport direction,
After the page change is completed, the booklet 4 is sent to a location outside the page change unit (for example, a printing unit, etc.), and the series of page change operations is completed. (Figures 11 and 16).

Next, the page changing operation of the left-right open booklet 1 will be explained using FIGS. 17 to 23.

First, one booklet 1 is conveyed while being held between the conveyance rollers 8 and 27, and enters the page changing section, where the sensor 15 detects the booklet 1 and stops at a predetermined stop position, that is, the page changing position (17th Figure) The 0th page change roller 10 turns in the turning direction C.
and starts contacting the page 18 on the front side of the booklet 1 (
Figure 18).

Note that the page 1a hides the conveyance roller 8 in this figure because the conveyance roller 8 and paper guide 6 do not cross the paper pan 5 as shown in FIG.

Therefore, when the page 0 change roller 10, which allows the page 1a of the booklet 1 to move in the out-of-plane direction in FIG. 1
a is turned up (FIG. 19) First, the conveying rollers 9 and 26 and the conveying rollers 8 and 27 rotate in the rotational direction e to convey one booklet 1 in the conveying direction E. As a result, the page 1a collides with the paper guide 7, and the binding part 2 of the booklet 1
A force is generated in the direction of rotation about the center line, that is, a force component in the direction parallel to the end surface of the paper guide 7 in the conveying direction (FIG. 20). Due to this force, the page 1a is
It begins to rotate. Subsequently, when the booklet 1 is conveyed, the page 1a that was on the page changing roller 10 side rotates to the opposite side around the binding section 2 of the booklet 1 (Fig. 21). In this state, the booklet 1 is further moved. When the paper is transported, page 1a is completely changed. After this page change operation is completed, when the booklet 1 is further conveyed, the booklet 1 is conveyed to a place other than this page change area (for example, the printing section, etc.) with one page change completed, and the series of operations ends. (Figure 22).

In turning the pages of the booklet 1 or 4 described above, the thickness of the booklet differs depending on the page to be turned, and the rigidity and frictional resistance of the cover and inner paper differ.

However, since the one-page changing roller 10 has a hollow structure in which the frictional contact portion 112 has a hollow portion 113, page turning is performed with an optimum turning force.

Figure 23 is a diagram showing the dynamic relationship of the page changing mechanism.In this figure, the inner paper 50X, inner paper 50Y, and cover 50Z of the booklet, which are frequently turned over two pages at a time, are shown.
This is a mechanical model of The property of forming a mechanical boundary at the tip of the paper guide 6 can be approximated to the identification condition.

Mekurika F and.

The relationship F ) f 1 + P x is required between the frictional force fz between the inner paper 50X and the burning paper 50Y that are about to be turned over, and the buckling resistance Pl of the inner paper 50X. This turning force F is calculated by the product F=μo
The zero-order medium paper 50Y, which can be expressed by
The frictional force fz = μz determined by the friction coefficient μ2 between Y and the cover 50Z and the reaction force go, and the buckling resistance force P2 act, and these forces satisfy the relationship f 1 - f x ≦ Pz. If the above relationship is not satisfied, at the same time as the middle paper 50X that you are about to turn over,
A mistake occurs where Y is also turned over.

In the above relationship, the difference in friction force fzfz=(μm−μμ)Xgo is naturally the difference in friction coefficient.

FIG. 24 shows the reaction force (g) - compression amount (
This shows the relationship of X).

A curve 201 is a reaction force-compression amount curve of a conventional solid page changing roller. If the page changing roller 10 has a structure with a hollow part 113 in the friction contact part 112, the one-inverse Kerr compression amount curve 202 becomes a curve with a nonlinear inflection point as shown in FIG. , the curve 202 has a region 210 that is very insensitive to the amount of compression X. This compression Mx is calculated by calculating the center height of the rotating shaft that holds the page changing roller 10 and the thickness of the booklet (a value determined by the number of pages) from the maximum outer diameter of the page changing roller 10 shown in FIG. 5 above. All is the force required to be generated by one roller to turn the inner pages of one booklet.

The g engineer applies frictional contact part 1 to 0 reaction force go, which indicates the force that one roller needs to generate to turn over the cover of the booklet.
The first result is the sum of the friction coefficient μ0 between 12 and the paper surface.
This is a conversion curve 203 of . Also, the converted song J! 204 is
The curve 202 is calculated by integrating the variation in the coefficient of friction between sheets. If the curve 203 exceeds the reaction force g1, it is possible to generate a reaction force that turns the page. Furthermore, if the curve 204 is in a region exceeding the pressure g1, a mistake will occur. In other words, if the region of optimal compression amount is wide, that is, the margin for assembly etc. is wide. This is because there exists.

Note that it is clear from the reaction force-compression amount curve 201 of the conventional page change roller that even if the above-mentioned margin is provided, it is smaller than that of this embodiment.

FIG. 25 is a diagram showing another example of the page changing roller according to the present invention. In this example, the outer curved surface part of the friction contact part 112 is formed by one outer curve. By configuring the friction contact part 112 of the one-page changing roller 10 in this way, it is easy to make a mold. , the roller can be easily manufactured.

FIG. 26 is a diagram showing still another example of the page change roller in the present invention. The feature of this page changing roller is the picker section 117. That is, this page changing roller 10 has a core metal part 111 and a friction contact part 112 having a hollow part 113.
and a picker part 117 for catching the edge of one page. In the picker portion 117, a step is provided on the mating surface of the core metal portion 111 and the friction contact portion 112,
The maximum outer diameter r2 of the picker portion 121 of the metal core portion 111 is larger than the maximum outer diameter r8 of the picker portion 122 of the frictional contact portion 112, so that the shoulder portion of the metal core portion 111 has a protruding shape. By adopting such a dimensional relationship, it is possible to prevent a plurality of sheets from being turned over at the same time and to prevent paper jams from occurring during conveyance.

As described above, according to this embodiment, pages can be changed reliably in a top-down booklet and a left-right booklet with a simple structure without using a complicated mechanism such as an oblique movement means or a suppressing means for the page change roller. It is possible to provide a page changing device that can change pages.
