Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] To provide a page (a page that can prevent defective page turning and double feeding in relation to a scent mechanism) provided with an auxiliary roller used only when turning the page. The purpose of this paper is to use a tapered page-turning mechanism in which a passbook made of multiple pages is tightly pressed at the center line position is held between multiple rollers and the pages are turned by rotating multiple rollers in the same direction. an auxiliary roller that presses against the surface where the page is to be turned in the vicinity of the position where the plurality of rollers sandwich it and rotates in the page-turning direction by a rotary drive means; and means;
When turning a page, the auxiliary roller is brought into pressure contact with the page-turning surface by the swinging means.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a page turning mechanism for a passbook printing device used in financial institutions and the like, and particularly to a page turning mechanism provided with an auxiliary roller used only when turning pages.

Recently, cash dispensers (hereinafter referred to as C) have become a part of computer banking systems.
(referred to as D), automatic deposit dispensing machine (Automatic
Automatic transaction devices such as Teller Machines (hereinafter referred to as ATMs) and bookkeeping machines operated by tellers at counters are widely used.

These devices often have a page-turning function in the passbook printing mechanism, making it easier for the customer or teller to operate, but since double feeding is likely to occur due to page-turning failure, it is not possible to do this with a simple mechanism. A method to prevent this is desired.

[Conventional technology] The conventional method will be explained below with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6.

The same reference numerals indicate the same objects throughout the figures.

As shown in FIG. 4, the bookkeeping machine includes a device main body 2 equipped with an insertion slot 1 into which a passbook 5a is inserted horizontally, a keyboard 3 for inputting customer's account number, transaction details, etc., and an operation process. It consists of a display 4 on which contents etc. are displayed. The device main body 2 is connected to a computer center (not shown) via a line.

Fig. 5 is an internal side view of the bookkeeping mechanism, and in the figure, 6
7 indicates a conveyance path, 7 indicates a printer section, and 8 indicates a page turning section.

Therefore, when the teller inserts the passbook 5a from the insertion slot L while abutting it against the guide surface 60 on one side, the passbook 5a will be inserted into the roller R+
, Rz through the conveyance path 6 and sent to the printer section 7. When input is made by operating the keyboard 3, the data is displayed on the display 4. When the user confirms this and presses a confirmation button, communication with the computer center is performed, and the transaction data is printed on the bankbook 5a by the printer section 7.

If the transaction data is printed on multiple lines, and the last line of the page is printed during printing, the passbook 5a is sent to the page turning section 8, where the page is turned over, and then the passbook 5a is sent to the printer section 7 again. Printing continues.

When printing is completed, the passbook 5a is ejected to the insertion slot I.

Next, to explain the details of page turning, page I turning section 8
is a roller 81 that holds the passbook 5a on the conveyance path 6 from above and below.
a, 82a, 81b, 82b, and the shaft 8 of the roller 81a.
The spring 84a is rotatably wound around the roller 3, and is equipped with a retaining lever 85a and a flip-up detection lever 86a, and a plunger magnet 9 and a lever 10 that retract the roller 82a from the conveyance path 6. The shielding plate 86b at the tip of the lever 86a is a light sensor 88.
a is shielded. Further, the rollers 81a and 82a are respectively connected to motors Ml+MZ.

First, when the passbook 5a is sent to the position shown in FIG. 5a to the turning position, rollers 81a82a,
81b and 82b stop while holding the passbook 5a between them.

The page g5a loosens due to friction with the roller 81a, and the flip-up detection lever 86a also rotates in the same direction, causing the light sensor 8
8a is unshielded. As a result of this release, the progress of page 1 is detected.

As the rotation of the rollers 81a and 82a further progresses, the curved edge of the page is moved to the roller 81+ as shown in FIG. 6(C).
1 is lifted upwards. Then, the engagement between the page and the engagement lever 85a is released, the spring 84a rotates in the opposite direction due to the weight of the flip-up detection lever 86a and the shielding plate 86b, and returns to its original position, and the shielding plate 86b again engages the optical sensor 88a. The page flip-up is detected by shielding the page.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6(d), the roller 82a is retracted by excitation of the plunger magnet 9, and the roller 81a is rotated in the opposite direction. Then, in Figure 6 (e
), the roller 82a is closed by de-energizing the plunger magnet 9, and the rollers 81a, 82 are closed.
When the passbook 5a is sent in the direction of the printer section 7, that is, in the direction of arrow B by rotating a in the opposite direction, the page above the roller 81a is pushed by the roller 81a and turned over in the direction of arrow C.

Printing continues on the passbook 5a whose pages have been turned over in this manner.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

According to the conventional method described above, page turning depends on the frictional force between the roller and the passbook caused by the forward and reverse rotation of the roller, so the frictional force between the roller and the paper cannot overcome the frictional force between the sheets of paper and the paper slips, making it impossible to turn the page. It may result in a defective turn. Another problem is that multiple pages are curved at once, resulting in double feed. If the passbook is turned over incorrectly, you will need to repeat the turn over or send out the passbook and insert it again.
In the case of double feed, the passbook will be returned if the device is equipped with a return-turning mechanism, but if the passbook is not equipped with a return-turning mechanism, the passbook will need to be sent out and reinserted, so the processing time will be reduced in any case. There is also the problem that customers are inconvenienced by having to wait for processing or have to reinsert.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a page turning mechanism that can prevent defective page turning and double feeding.

[Failure to solve the problem]

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the principle configuration of the present invention.

In the figure, 5 is a passbook, 81 and 82 are rollers, 15 is a rotary drive means, and 12 is a taper, which is pressed into contact with the face of the passbook 5 near the position where the pages are turned over by the plurality of rollers 81 and 82. The auxiliary roller 17 is rotated in the direction of page turning by the rotation driving means 15. The auxiliary roller 17 is a swinging means for pressing the auxiliary roller 12 against and retreating from the surface on which the page is to be turned.

Therefore, when the plurality of rollers 81 and 82 turn the page, the swinging means 17 is configured to press the auxiliary roller 12 against the page-turning surface.

[Effect]

First, the auxiliary roller 12 is moved to the passbook 5 by the first roller stage 17.
When the auxiliary roller 12 is rotated in the direction of the arrow by the rotation drive means 15 at the same time as the roller 8L82 rotates in the direction of the arrow to turn the page, the taper of the auxiliary roller 12 causes the surface of the page to be turned diagonally. The page is shifted in the direction and separated from the paper surface below, and the page can be easily turned over by the rollers 81 and 82 without defective turning or double feeding.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. The same reference numerals indicate the same objects throughout the figures.

In FIG. 2, parts corresponding to those in FIG. 1 are shown surrounded by a dashed line.

As shown in the side and plan views of FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b), the tip of an arm 11, one end of which is rotatably supported on a shaft 10, is attached to a high-friction resin 3, such as rubber mixed with urethane. A turning auxiliary roller 12a formed with a taper (for example, about 2 degrees) is provided.
Arm 1 is attached to pulley 13 provided coaxially with 2a and shaft lO.
Hell H5a is hung on Boo January 4 coaxial with one end of 1,
The shaft 10 is connected to the motor gate 3. Therefore, the rotation of the motor rotates the turning-up auxiliary roller 12a.

A lever 16 is also attached to the end of the arm 11 supported by the shaft 10.
One end of the lever 16 is fixed, and the other end of the lever 16 is connected to a movable spindle of a plunger magnet (hereinafter referred to as PM) 17a. Under normal conditions, the arm 11 has a spring 18
The turning auxiliary roller 12a at the tip has retreated to the position shown by the two-dot chain line in the figure, and the arm 11 rotates in the direction of the arrow due to the excitation of the PM 17a, and the turning auxiliary roller 12a moves to the position indicated by the two-dot chain line in the figure. In the figure 82a, press the paper surface of the passbook 5a at a position near the left side. A holding plate 19 is provided opposite to the lower side of the position where the auxiliary turning roller 12a presses the paper surface.

With such a configuration, when the passbook 5a is sent to the page turning section 8a in the six directions of the arrows for page turning, the rollers 81a, 82a, 81b, and 82b stop while holding the passbook 5a.

Then, the 2M 17a is excited, the auxiliary turning roller 12a presses the paper surface of the bankbook 5a, and the holding plate 19 holds the bankbook 5a from below.

Next, the rollers 81b, 82a, and 82b do not rotate, but the roller 81a and the auxiliary turning roller 12a rotate in the forward direction, and as shown in FIG. Since the passbook 5a is moved diagonally and separated from the paper surface below, and is abutted against the guide surface 60, it bulges out as shown in FIG. 3(b).
At the same time, the page 1 movement progresses due to friction between the roller 81a and the paper surface.

2M17 at the timing when the roller 81a rotates by a predetermined angle.
The excitation of roller a is released, and the auxiliary turning roller 12a retreats to its normal position.

Page I is removed in the steps starting from FIG. 6(C) described in the conventional example below.

In this way, it is possible to easily separate the paper from the underlying paper surface by the rotation of the auxiliary roller 12a, and to smoothly turn the page, and to prevent defective turning with a simple mechanism. Double feed can be reduced.

Furthermore, although the above example describes the case of a bookkeeping machine, other transaction devices 2 such as CDs and A
It can be similarly applied to TM etc.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, the tapered auxiliary roller can shift the paper surface of the passbook in a diagonal direction to facilitate separation of the page to be turned and the paper surface below. This simple mechanism has the effect of preventing the occurrence of single-feed defects and double feed.
