Regarding a passbook handling device.

[Conventional technology]

In recent years, a device for handling a passbook used in a financial institution, such as a passbook entry device, is provided with a page turning mechanism for automatically turning a page of a passbook, and the page turning mechanism is used when there is no print margin on a page in the entry. Is configured to turn pages and continue printing. The conventional page-turning mechanism conveys a passbook with opened pages to a predetermined position in order to surely turn the page, and turns the page using a page-roller provided at this position. There is.

A technique relating to such a page turning mechanism is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No.
-35963 publication.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

The passbook handling device according to the above-described conventional technology has a problem that page turning failure occurs because conditions such as the friction coefficient of the passbook paper and the accuracy error of the page turning mechanism differ for each financial institution.

An object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and to provide a passbook handling device with a page turning mechanism that can determine the optimum conditions of page turning and surely perform page turning of a passbook. Is.

[Means for solving the problem]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a passbook handling device with a page-rolling mechanism, which includes a page-turning mechanism for turning a page of a passbook paper and a recognition unit for recognizing a page identification mark provided for each passbook paper. In the page pass condition of the passbook, for example, a page turning mechanism that can adjust the page position or pressing force of the page roller and the page identification mark of the passbook at each end of the operation by performing the page pass operation of the passbook a plurality of times. Recognizing and storing the number of times of "normal turning operation", "under turning operation", and "over turning operation" as page turning result information, and the page turning operation tends to be normal turning operation based on the plurality of page turning result information. It is analyzed whether it is a tendency of insufficient overturning or a tendency of overturning. According to the analysis result, when the tendency of insufficient overturning is set, the page turning mechanism is set to be easily turned, and when the tendency of overturning is set, it is difficult to turn the page turning mechanism. And a control unit.

[Action]

By performing the page-turning operation of the passbook a plurality of times, the control unit determines the page-turning result of the initially set page-turning mechanism, that is, each of the "normal page-turning operation", "insufficient page-turning operation" and "over-turning operation" Store. Then, the number of times of success and failure is compared, and the page turning mechanism analyzes whether the page turning operation is a normal turning operation tendency, an under-turning operation tendency, or an over-turning operation tendency with respect to the set passbook. If the result of this analysis shows that the page turning tends to be insufficient, the page turning mechanism is set to be easily turned, for example, the page turning roller is set to turn around the end of the passbook, or the pressing force between the page turning roller and the passbook middle paper is increased. Set to do. Also, if the analysis result shows that the page is overturned, it is difficult to turn the page-wiring mechanism, for example, the page-rolling roller is set to page near the passbook fold, or the pressing force between the page-rolling roller and the passbook middle paper is reduced. Set to. The page winding mechanism set in this manner changes the apparent rigidity of the paper in the passbook by changing the page positions of the page roller and the passbook, and also changes the pressing force to change the page roller and the passbook. The contact area with the middle paper changes, and the middle paper of the passbook easily turns or becomes hard to turn.

Therefore, in the passbook handling device with a page turning mechanism according to the present invention, the control unit monitors the page turning result of the page turning mechanism and adjusts the page turning conditions, whereby the page turning failure can be reduced.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of a passbook handling device with a page turning mechanism according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart for explaining the operation of the passbook handling apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the main configuration of the passbook handling apparatus.

First, the passbook applied to this embodiment is provided with a page identification mark indicating the number of pages for each page, and the passbook handling device into which this passbook is inserted has a passbook page inserted as shown in FIG. A page identification mark recognition unit 4 for identifying the page identification mark of
A passbook page turning mechanism 3 for turning over the page of the passbook, and a printing mechanism (not shown) having a function of printing at a predetermined position of the page opening of the passbook and detecting a printed line or the like of the page, A passbook transport mechanism 2 for transporting a passbook between these institutions and a control unit 1 for controlling these are provided, and the control unit 1 determines the number of successful page turns by the passbook page turning mechanism 3 and the number of unsuccessful overturns and shortages. When the number of failures is monitored and the number of failures is large, the page-turning condition is adjusted to ensure the page-turning.

The operation of the control unit 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 1. The control unit 1 recognizes the page identification mark of the opened nth page of the inserted passbook by the page identification mark recognition unit 4 (step 100), and the passbook transport mechanism 2 transports the passbook to a printing mechanism (not shown). This printing mechanism reports this to the control unit 1 when there is no margin in the passbook or when the last line is reached during printing and printing information still remains. According to this report, the control unit 1 conveys the passbook to the passbook stop distance Y at the time of page turning of the passbook page turning mechanism 3 (step 101). The passbook stop distance Y is a preset distance from the passbook passage sensor 7 of the passbook page turning mechanism 3 to the end of the passbook 6, as shown in FIG. The passbook 6 is paged by the page-rolling roller 5 provided from the distance Y to the distance X (step 102). In addition, in the method of stopping the passbook at the passbook stop distance Y, the passbook 6 is the passbook passage sensor 7
This is done by multiplying the encoder pulse of the servo motor of the transport mechanism 2 after passing through.

Next, the control unit 1 conveys the passbook 6 to the page identification mark recognition unit 4 after the page turning and recognizes the page identification mark (step 103), and the recognized page identification mark is the next page number (n + 1). ) It is determined whether the page is a page (step 104), and if the result of the determination is the (n + 1) th page, the control section 1 sets the "(n + 1) th page detection flag" indicating that the page turning operation is normally performed. (Step 105). The recognition result is the (n
If it is not +1) page, it is discriminated whether or not it is the nth page (step 106), and when it is discriminated as the nth page, a "nth page detection flag" indicating that the page turning operation is not performed is carried out by the control unit. 1 (step 107), and if it is not the nth page, the "(n + α) th page detection flag" indicating overturning is stored (step 108).

Further, the control unit 1 automatically analyzes the information when these storage flags reach a predetermined amount (step 10).
9), it is determined whether or not the passbook is at the optimum position in the passbook page turning mechanism 3 (step 110). This determination of the optimum position is performed by detecting the number of "nth (n + 1) th page detection flags" stored in the control unit 1 indicating the successful page turning, and the "nth page detection flag" and "nth (n + α) th page detection indicating the failed page turning". The total number of "flags" is compared, and when this total number of failures is within 0.1% of the number of successes, it is determined as the optimum position. If the passbook is determined to be at the optimum position in step 110, that is, if the page success probability is very high, the flow is converged, and if it is determined not to be at the optimum position, the process proceeds to the next step (step 110).

When it is determined that the position is not the optimum position, the control unit 1 determines whether the page to be turned is "non-turning tendency" or "overturning tendency" (step 111, step 112). There are various conceivable criteria for this judgment, but in the present embodiment, when the number of "nth page detection flags" stored in the control unit 1 is more than twice the number of "(n + α) th page detection flags", "" It is judged that it is a tendency not to turn over. In this step 111, "the tendency not to turn over"
When it is determined that the passbook is turned over, the control unit 1 causes the passbook transport mechanism 2 to increase the carry amount of the subsequent passbook page-turning mechanism 3. For example, as shown in FIG. 3B, the passbook 6 is conveyed from the passbook passage sensor 7 by further increasing the distance m from the initial stop distance Y, and the passbook 6 is passed from the passbook passage sensor 7 to the passbook 6.
The distance (Y + m) is set to the end, and the rigidity of the middle paper of the passbook 6 is apparently lowered to set the condition for easy turning (step).
113). On the contrary, when it is determined in step 112 that the tendency is "over-turning", the control unit 1 reduces the carry amount of the passbook page turning mechanism 3 as shown in FIG. 3 (c). That is, the passbook passage sensor 7
From the passbook 6 to the end of the passbook 6 by a distance n, and the distance from the passbook passage sensor 7 to the end of the passbook 6 (Y-n) is set so that the rigidity of the inner paper is apparently increased and it is difficult to turn it. (Step 114). In the next step 115, the control unit 1
Stores the stop distance (Y + m or Y-n) of this passbook, sets the subsequent stop distance to (Y + m or Y-n), and then returns to step 102.

The passbook handling apparatus according to the present embodiment repeats the procedure of this flow chart to monitor the number of successes and failures during passbook page-turning and adjusts the passbook transport amount (passbook stop distance) to determine the optimum page-passing condition. It is something to learn.

In this embodiment, an example in which the analysis is performed when the flag stored in the control unit 1 reaches a predetermined amount in step 109 is shown, but the analysis may be performed every one page. Furthermore, in steps 111 and 112, "the tendency not to turn over" even though the passbook stop position does not satisfy the optimum condition.
In addition, when it is not judged to be "overturning tendency", it is configured to return to step 102 without changing the passbook stop position, and such a state can be said to be the limit of the property of the page turning mechanism. , There is a risk that this flow will not converge forever. Therefore, a step of forcibly converging the flow when the optimum condition is not satisfied a predetermined number of times or more at the same passbook stop position may be added between steps 110 and 111. However, it is desirable not to add this step because the passbook of the user may change and the page winding conditions such as abrasion of the page roller 5 may change.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example is shown in which the page turning condition is adjusted by the passbook conveyance amount at the time of page turning, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the optimum page turning condition is set also by other mechanism. can do. This will be described below.

First, an embodiment in which the page turning condition is adjusted by the pressing force of the page turning roller 5 against the inner paper of the passbook 6 will be described with reference to FIG. The passbook page-turning mechanism shown in FIG. 4 includes a page-roller 5 for turning the inside paper of the passbook 6 by rotation, and a lever 10 for supporting the rotary shaft of the page-roller 5 at one end via a fulcrum 11.
And a spring 8 locked to the other end of the lever 10,
By adjusting the length of the spring 8, that is, the compression restoring force, the pressing force of the page winding roller 5 is changed to adjust the contact area between the page winding roller 5 and the middle paper of the passbook 6. More specifically, this mechanism has a lever 10 as shown in FIG.
When the length y of the spring 8 at the other end of the spring 8 is set to the initial setting state, the spring 8 is extended as shown in FIG.
y ₁ ), the other end of the lever 10 is pulled upward and the fulcrum 11
By increasing the pressing force of the page-rolling roller 5 via the
The contact area between the page-rolling roller 5 and the middle paper of the passbook 6 is increased to set the condition for easy turning. On the contrary, when the length of the spring 8 is compressed to (y−y ₁ ) as shown in FIG. 4 (c), the other end of the lever 10 is pushed downward, and the pressing force of the page roller 5 via the fulcrum 11 is pushed. The decrease in the contact area between the page-rolling roller 5 and the inside paper reduces the page-rolling roller 5 so that the page-rolling roller 5 is set in a state in which it is difficult to turn. In this embodiment, the first pass is replaced with the passbook stop position in the above-mentioned first embodiment.
Instead of "Set passbook stop position Y" in step 101 to "Set length y of spring 8" in step 101, change "Passbook stop position from Y to (Y + m)" in step 113 to "Length of spring 8". instead of the change "in the y (y + y _1), instead of step 114 of" change passbook stop position from Y (Y-n) "to" change the length y of the spring 8 to the (y-y ₁₎ " , And in step 115, “Store changed passbook stop position (Y + m) or (Y−n)”
The by replacing the "store the length of the changed spring 8 (y + y ₁₎ or (y-y _1)", it is possible to optimally self-learning the Mekupeji condition of the passbook 6.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the present invention can be carried out by using a mechanism for pressing the inside paper from the cover of the passbook 6 against the page-rolling roller 5. This mechanism is shown in Fig. 5 (a).
Assuming that the position of the bush lever 9 in the height direction shown in FIG. 2 is the initial reference height, when the bush lever 9 is moved upward as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the contact frictional force between the passbook 6 and the page roller 5 increases. It becomes easier to turn over, and when it is moved downward as shown in FIG. 5 (c), the contact frictional force is reduced to set the state in which it is hard to turn over. By applying the same to the flow of FIG. It is possible to optimally self-learn the page turning conditions.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the success and failure tendency of the page pass of the passbook is monitored, and the position or contact pressure of the page roller 5 from the end of the passbook 6 is adjusted according to the tendency. It is possible to self-learn the optimum conditions of the page turning mechanism.
Therefore, the user of the passbook handling device can reduce the processing time loss due to the page failure, and the maintenance person can also store the information such as "non-turning tendency" and "overturning tendency" stored in the control unit. It is possible to know the optimum condition according to the deterioration state of the page turning mechanism of the device and the user's passbook type by analyzing the.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the passbook handling device itself automatically learns the optimum conditions of the page, so that the passbook page failure can be reduced.
