The present invention relates to a page turning mechanism capable of reducing double feed of turning inside paper by switching with.

Recently, as a part of computer banking system, Cash Dispenser (hereinafter referred to as CD), Automatic Teller Machine (hereinafter referred to as ATM)
, Etc., and automated teller machines, and bookkeeping machines operated by tellers at tellers are widely used. In addition, a passbook issuing machine, which prints a new passbook with predetermined printing and issues it, has been put into practical use.

Many of these devices have a page turning function for the passbook printing mechanism, which simplifies the operation of the customer or teller, but the time can be shortened because it is easy to rewind by double feed and it takes time. A method is desired.

[Conventional technology]

The conventional method will be described below with reference to FIGS. The same reference numerals denote the same objects throughout the drawings.

Fig. 4 shows an internal side view of a bookkeeping machine with a passbook issuing function, which performs normal bookkeeping processing, and when a new passbook 1a is in use and when the passbook 1a in use expires, Issue the number, customer name, and balance (data not filled when the book has expired) printed.

In the figure, 2 is an insertion slot, 3a is a conveying path, 4 is a magnetic stripe (hereinafter referred to as MS) read / write (hereinafter referred to as R / W) section, 5 is a printer section, 6 is a page turning section, and 7a and 7b are types. Separately, the passbook 1a is closed and stored, S is the passbook 1a
The sensor which detects the front / back end of is shown.

Therefore, when the teller opens the passbook 1a and inserts it through the insertion port 2, the passbook 1a is conveyed in the direction of arrow A in the conveying path 3a, and the R / W
The customer data is read in the section 4, communicates with a computer center (not shown), and is recorded in the printer section 5.
When the book is on the next page, the sensor S
When the rear end is detected and it is recognized that the passbook 1a is opened, it is sent to the page turning section 6 and the page is turned by the method described later, and is printed again by the printer section 5 and the R / W section 4
The balance is updated with and is sent to the insertion slot 2.

When issuing a new passbook 1a, the passbook 1a is fed out from either of the passbook storage units 7a and 7b according to the operation instruction from the teller, and the leading end / rear end is detected by the sensor S, and the passbook 1a is closed. It is recognized that the printer unit 5 performs predetermined printing on the cover sheet, and then it is sent to the page turning unit 6 for page turning / page turning, and printing required on the back side of the cover sheet or the normal printing page by the printer unit 5 respectively. R / W section 4 after performing
The balance is recorded and sent out.

Next, referring to FIG. 5, the details of the page turning mechanism will be described. The page turning section 6 holds the passbook 1a on the conveying path 3a from above and below with a space therebetween and is controlled to rotate in the forward and reverse directions.
~ 64, a pressure roller 65a provided between the rollers 62, 64, and a plunger for vertically moving a pair of separators 66a, 66b, pressure 65a provided above the roller 61 from above the roller 61 via a lever 67. Magnet (hereinafter referred to as PM)
PM7 that opens and closes 69 and separators 66a and 66b via lever 70
1. A flip-up detection sensor S1 for detecting that the page to be turned up is swelled, and a flip-up detection sensor S2 for detecting that the page is flipped up.

The rollers 62 and 64 are opened / closed by exciting / releasing PM not shown.

The pressure 65a is normally located below the conveyance path 3a, and is raised to the position shown by the chain double-dashed line in the figure (for example, 10 to 15 mm) by the excitation of the PM 69, and the separators 66a and 66b are also provided.
Is normally closed as shown in the figure, and the excitation of PM71 opens the lower end as shown by the chain double-dashed line in the figure so that the curved portion is located outside the roller 61.

The separator 66b is used for page return described later, and also for rollers, pressure,
The lever, PM, and each sensor are provided at symmetrical positions about the rollers 61 and 62.

Therefore, the passbook 1a is moved to the sixth direction in the direction of arrow A for turning the page.
When it is sent to the turning position shown in FIG.
64 stops with the passbook 1a being clamped.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6B, the rollers 62 to 64 do not rotate, but the roller 61 rotates in the arrow direction (the rotation direction in this case is the positive direction), and at the same time, the PM69 is excited. When the pressure 65a pushes up the passbook 1a, the page turning operation is started due to the friction between the roller 61 and the page surface, the passbook 1a is curved, and the page turning swells further.

When the turning motion detection sensor S1 detects the expansion, the PM 69 is de-excited and the pressure 65a is lowered, as shown in FIG. 6 (c). At this time, the rollers 62 and 64 are opened, and the page to be turned over remains in a swelled state, and the next page and the following pages return to a flat state. When the passbook 1a is closed and the cover is being turned (recognized by the detection of the leading edge / rear edge by the sensor S), the setting position of the passbook 1a is slightly moved and the pushing operation is performed again to give the cover the flexibility. Hold it.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6D, when the rollers 62 and 64 are closed and the roller 61 is rotated in the direction of the arrow, the swollen page is further rolled up and finally flipped up. This is detected by the rebound detection sensor S2, the PM71 is excited, the separators 66a and 66b are opened, and the repelled page and the roller 61 are released.
Contact is separated.

Then, as shown in FIG. 6 (e), when the passbook 1a is transported by the rollers 61 to 64 in the direction of the arrow B, the flipped page is pushed by the separator 66a and turned over.
When the page turning is completed, the PM71 is deenergized and the separators 66a and 66b are closed.

When the page turning is completed, the page is confirmed by the reading sensor S3, and if there is a double feed in which two or more sheets are turned, the page is returned. The page return is performed on the left side of the rollers 61 and 62 in the opposite direction to the above-described page turning in the same manner.

In this way, printing is continued on the passbook 1a, which is automatically page-turned.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

According to the above-described conventional method, in the page turning mechanism, the amount of pushing up is the same due to the pressure when the cover of the passbook is turned over and when the page of the middle paper is turned over. If this is done, double-feeding is likely to occur when turning pages of thin inner paper.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 7 (a) and 7 (b), the larger the curve, the larger the turning force, but the double feed is likely to occur. In addition, the amount of bending that causes turning and double feed is different between the cover and the inside paper. Here, the bending amount is the amount of pushing up by the pressure.

Therefore, when the double feed of the inner paper is increased, the frequency of re-winding in the opposite direction is increased, and there is a problem that the processing time is long.

An object of the present invention is to provide a page turning mechanism that can reduce the page turning processing time.

[Means for solving problems]

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the principle of the present invention. In the figure, 1
Is a passbook, 3 is a conveying path, 65 is a pushing means, 8 is a discriminating means for discriminating whether the passbook 1 to be turned over is closed or open, 9 is a pushing means for switching the pushing amount of the pushing means 65. It is a means for switching the amount of increase.

Therefore, the push-up amount switching unit 9 switches the push-up amount of the push-up unit 65 based on the determination result of the determination unit 8 so that the passbook 1 is large when the passbook 1 is closed and small when the passbook 1 is open. Has been done.

[Action]

Whether the passbook 1 for page turning is closed or open is discriminated by the discriminating means 8, and the pushing amount of the pushing means 65 is raised by the pushing amount switching means 9 according to the result of the discrimination.
When the passbook 1 is closed, the cover is turned to increase the number of pages, and when the passbook 1 is opened, the cover is turned to decrease the amount of push-up to reduce the double feed of page turning. As a result, the rewinding in the opposite direction is reduced and the processing time can be shortened.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. The same reference numerals denote the same objects throughout the drawings. In FIG. 2, the ones corresponding to those in FIG. 1 are shown surrounded by a one-dot chain line.

The page turning portion 6a of the bookkeeping mechanism is shown in the side view and the perspective view of the main part of FIGS.
A cam 72 is provided below a and is in rolling contact with a roller 67b attached to the lower part of the push-up lever 67a. The cam shaft 73 is connected to the stepping motor M, and a detection lever 90 is attached to the cam shaft 73. A micro switch 91 is arranged below the detection lever 90.

FIG. 2 (c) is a block diagram for switching the pushing-up amount of the page turning portion 6a, in which the discriminating portion 8a detects the leading edge / rear edge of the passbook 1a of the sensor S and counts the length from the step therebetween. And determines whether the passbook 1a is closed or open.

The push-up amount switching control unit 9a controls the drive of the step motor M so as to switch the push-up amount of the pressure 65a by the cam 72 based on the determination result of the determination unit 8a and the detection signal of the micro switch 91. That is, when the passbook 1a is open, the step motor M is rotated and the micro switch
The step feed is performed from the tip detection position (the position corresponding to the short diameter of the cam 72) of the detection lever 90 of 91, the cam 72 is rotated to the point a, and the roller 67b is pushed up by L1. Further, when the passbook 1a is closed, step feed is performed from the detection position of the micro switch 91, the cam 72 is rotated to the point b (the position corresponding to the long diameter of the cam 72), and the roller 67b is pushed up by L2.

Further, 10 is a main control unit, 80 is a sensor amplifier, and 92 is a motor driver.

With such a configuration and function, the operation of the push-up amount switching control will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, the sensor S detects the leading edge / rear edge of the passbook 1a, and the determining unit 8a determines whether the passbook 1a is closed or open, and notifies the main control unit 10.

The passbook 1a is sent to the page turning portion 6a and set.

Then, the push-up amount switching control unit 9a is activated by the open / close state notification of the passbook 1a of the main control unit 10, and when the passbook 1a is open, the step motor M is rotated to cause the micro switch 91 to rotate.
Step feeds from the position where the tip of the detection lever 90 is detected, rotates the cam 72 to the point a, and only L1 pressure 65a
Push up. Therefore, the passbook 1a is slightly curved.

Therefore, as described in the conventional example, the turning operation is performed by the roller 61.

When the passbook 1a is closed, the microswitch 91 steps forward from the position where the tip of the detection lever 90 is detected, rotates to the point b of the cam 72, and pushes up the pressure 65a by L2. Therefore, the curvature of the passbook 1a becomes large.

The turning operation is performed by the flow there.

In this way, the amount of pushing up is switched between when the passbook 1a is open and when the passbook 1a is closed. It is possible to reduce the double feed, prevent reverse rewinding, and shorten the processing time.

In the above example, the point a on the cam 72 when the passbook 1a is open.
Although the case where the roller 7b is pushed up has been described, the position where the micro switch 91 detects the tip of the detection lever 90 is appropriate when it is appropriate to turn the page without curving due to the quality of the middle paper of the passbook 1a. The page turning operation should be performed with.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, when the page of the middle paper of the passbook medium is turned, the amount of bending by the push-up means is smaller than that of the case of turning the cover, so that double feed is prevented from occurring and There is an effect that the rewinding of the direction is eliminated and the processing time can be shortened.
