Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an automatic page break mechanism for booklets such as passbooks in automatic transaction devices and teller devices for financial institutions.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, as a conventional technology in this field, JP-A-Sho
There is one described in Publication No. 59-35963. In such a conventional example, a page change roller is used to change the pages of the bankbook on the conveyance path.

That is, the page change roller rotates while contacting an arbitrary inner sheet of the passbook on the conveyance path, and after this inner sheet has been turned over, a page change is performed.

For example, when turning over two or more pages of inner paper in a passbook, the page break roller first rotates once to turn over one page of inner paper, and then rotates once more to turn over one page of inner paper. Turn up the minutes. Next, the passbook is turned over and moved so that the two inner pages are closed, and the page change operation is completed. Therefore, by rotating the page change roller the required number of times, the inner pages of the passbook are turned over by a predetermined number of pages.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in such conventional examples, page breaks are performed using the frictional force between the page break roller and the inner paper of the passbook, so the coefficient of friction between the page break roller and the existing circulating passbook and the new passbook to be issued will be the same. need to be.

However, it is impossible for the friction coefficients to be the same. Therefore, for example, if the above-mentioned frictional force is weak and slipping occurs between the page break roller and the inner paper, the passbook moves while the pages are not completely turned, and the pages are closed.

Therefore, the problem arises that the inner paper of the passbook may be folded or have a strong tendency to bend, not only when two or more consecutive pages are changed.

This invention was made to solve the above problem, and its purpose is to improve functionality and reliability by performing page breaks from the second page onwards under the same page break conditions as the first page. The aim is to improve the

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a page break roller that rotates while contacting an arbitrary page of a booklet, and provides an automatic page break for a booklet in which the page is turned over and a page break is made by the rotation of the page break roller. The page mechanism includes a sensor that is provided to be able to detect a turned-up portion of a page turned up by the rotation of a page break roller, and detects that the page has been turned up to a predetermined position; The page break condition is the amount of rotation of the page break roller from when the page roller starts turning the first page until the turned-up portion of the page is detected by the sensor. The present invention is characterized in that it includes a control means for storing the stored conditions, and a page break control means for changing pages from the second page onwards under the same conditions as the stored conditions.

[Effect]

In the present invention having the characteristics described above, first, the booklet is stopped at a page break position, and the page break roller is rotated to turn over the first page. At this time, the page break roller is rotated to start turning the first page, or the sensor detects that the page has been turned up to a predetermined field position where a page break can be made. The amount of rotation of the page feed roller until the page change occurs is stored in the control means as a page change condition.

Here, if it is desired to continue page breaks after the second page, the page break control means controls to turn up the required number of pages after the second page under the same page break conditions as stored.

Next, when the required number of pages have been turned over, the passbook is moved and the turned up pages are closed, completing the page turning operation.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 a, b, c, and d.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of an automatic page change mechanism for a bankbook according to the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a page feed roller that turns over the inner pages of a bankbook, 2 a pulse motor that drives the page feed roller 1, and 3 a pulse motor drive circuit that controls the drive of the pulse motor 2.

Further, 4 is an optical sensor for detecting the turning of a page of the passbook, and 5 is an inner paper detection circuit for checking the turning state of a page related to a page break.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a pulse motor control circuit, which controls a command system related to driving the pulse motor 2 and stores the number of pulses counted by the drive pulse counter 7. The drive pulse counter 7 counts the number of pulses from when the pulse motor drive circuit 3 starts sending out pulses until the inner paper detection circuit 5 operates.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a page break control circuit, which controls the command system for various operations related to page breaks, and instructs the page breaks to be made for the second and subsequent pages under the same conditions as the conditions under which the first page was made. 9 is a passbook conveyance unit, 10 is a page break roller 1
This is a solenoid used to press the passbook into contact with the passbook.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing the operation process of an embodiment of the present invention, in which a is a side view showing the turning-up operation of the first page, b is a side view showing the turning-up operation of the second page, and c is a side view showing the turning-up operation of the second page. d is a side view after the page turning operation is completed, and d is a side view showing a state in which page turning is completed.

In FIG. 3, the passbook conveyance path 11 is composed of conveyance guides 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16, and the passbook 17 is conveyed by conveyance rollers 18a and 18b driven by a pulse motor (not shown).

The passbook press 19 driven by the solenoid 10 is arranged opposite to the page break roller 1 and presses the passbook 17.
is pressed against the page feed roller 1.

Further, the optical sensor parts 4a and 4b constituting the optical sensor 4 are arranged to face each other so that the light beam 20 runs at a position in the middle of turning up the inner paper 17a of the passbook 17, so that a page change can be reliably performed. Detects summer.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be explained. First, the page break control circuit 8 issues a command to the bankbook transport section 9 to stop the bankbook 17 at the page break position (S1 in FIG. 2). As a result, the passbook 17 is conveyed and stopped at a predetermined position where the automatic page change is performed by the conveyance roller 18a.

The page break control circuit 8 further includes a solenoid 10.
A drive signal is transmitted to (S2 in FIG. 2). As a result, the bankbook press 19 is turned on, and the bankbook 17 is brought into pressure contact with the page break roller 1.

After a certain period of time has elapsed, the page break control circuit 8 issues a drive command to the pulse motor control circuit 6 (S3 in FIG. 2).
This pulse motor control circuit 6 sends drive pulses to the pulse motor drive circuit 3 (S in FIG.
4). This drive pulse is sent to the drive pulse counter 7.
(S5 in FIG. 2).

In accordance with the drive pulse, the pulse motor 2 rotates the page break roller 1 and turns over the inner paper 17a of the bankbook 17 as shown in FIG. 3a.

When the inner paper 17a is turned up to a position where a page break can be reliably made, the inner paper 17a is turned over by the optical sensor section 4.
The light beams a and 4b are blocked. As a result, the optical sensor sections 4a and 4b detect the inner paper 17a (second
S6 in the figure).

The count value of the drive pulse counter 7 at this time is transferred to the pulse motor control circuit 6 and stored (S7 in FIG. 2). On the other hand, at the same time as the inner paper 17a is detected, the solenoid 10 activates the passbook press 19.
Set to OFF state. As a result, the bankbook 17 is released from the pressed state by the bankbook press 19.

Further, from the time when the inner paper 17a is detected, the pulse motor control circuit 6 sends a fixed number of drive pulses to the pulse motor drive circuit 3 (S in FIG.
8).

As a result, the page break roller 1 continues to rotate by a predetermined amount of operation via the pulse motor 2, and then stops (S9 in FIG. 2). As a result, the inner paper 17a is completely raised as shown in FIG.

Furthermore, if you want to continuously turn up the inner paper 17b, you can repeat the above-mentioned operation, but the light flux 20 of the optical sensor parts 4a, 4b
Therefore, the inner paper 17a cannot be turned up using the control method described above.

Therefore, in the process of turning over the inner paper 17a, the amount of operation, that is, the number of pulses, from the time the page feed roller 1 starts rotating until the inner paper 17a is detected as described above is stored as data in the pulse motor control circuit 6. . Based on this data, the operation of turning up the inner paper 17b is performed.

That is, according to the data, the passbook press 19 is turned OFF during the process of turning up the inner paper 17b.
The timing and the amount of movement of the page break roller 1 after that,
In other words, the timing for rotating the pulse motor 2 by the number of pulses and then stopping it is set and executed.

Thereby, when turning up the inner paper 17b, the inner paper 17b can be turned up in the same state as the optical sensor sections 4a and 4b are working.

Therefore, when a page change command is subsequently issued, the pulse motor control circuit 6 sends pulses equal to the stored count value to the pulse motor drive circuit 3 (S10 and S4 in FIG. 2). That is, the second
The process moves to S4 in the figure and the above-described flip-up operation is repeated.

Here, the pulse motor 2 drives the page feed roller 1 by a predetermined amount of operation by the pulse motor drive circuit 3, and turns up the inner sheet 17b as shown in FIG. 3b.

At the same time as driving the pulse motor 2 by the predetermined amount of operation, the solenoid 10 activates the passbook press 19.
Set to OFF state. Then, when the pulse motor 2 continues to be driven by a predetermined amount of operation, the inner paper 17a is completely turned over as shown in FIG. 3c.

Incidentally, if it is desired to turn up the inner paper more continuously, the above-mentioned operation is repeated as many times as necessary.

Next, the flipped-up passbook 17 is shown in Figure 3 d.
As shown in FIG. 3, the paper is conveyed by the conveyance rollers 18a and 18b to the page change completion position, and the conveyance guide 12 returns to complete the page change of the bankbook 17.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the automatic page break mechanism of the booklet according to the present invention, after the page break roller is rotated to start turning the first page, the corresponding page can be reliably page turned. The amount of rotation of the page break roller until the sensor detects that the page has been turned up to a predetermined position is stored as a page break condition, and pages from the second page onward are made under the same conditions as this stored condition. Therefore, the amount of rotation of the page break roller required to turn the page to the position where the page break can be performed reliably can be determined for each passbook in accordance with the first page when performing the page feed operation. , regardless of the friction coefficient of existing passbooks and the wide variety of new passbooks that will be issued in the future, it is possible to stably change the pages of passbooks and improve reliability.
