  In a unit built-in table such as the above-described printer built-in table, the unit is usually detachably built in the table because of the necessity for maintenance and replacement. When the size or shape of the unit is changed due to a change in the specification of the unit, a step is generated between the work top plate and the paper supply / discharge path. If there is a step between the work top and the paper supply / discharge path, the paper medium will be caught in the step during manual supply and discharge of the paper medium and mechanical operation processing, resulting in workability and processing efficiency. Will come down.

  To deal with such problems, conventionally, an adjustment mechanism for the relative height position between the work top and the unit is provided on the table or unit, and the user adjusts the adjustment mechanism each time the unit is newly accommodated on the table. The level difference between the work top plate and the paper supply / discharge path is adjusted so as to be eliminated or reduced.

  However, such an adjustment mechanism is a high-strength structure that can move a relatively heavy unit or work top plate, which increases the product cost, and also adjusts each time the unit is accommodated. There is a problem that the user must bear the work of the mechanism operation.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a table with a built-in unit that can exhibit excellent workability and processing efficiency without increasing the product cost and increasing the work load on the user.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a unit built-in table having the unit built-in table and the unit as described above.

According to the present invention, there is provided a table with a built-in unit capable of incorporating into a work top plate a unit having a work top plate and having a paper medium supply / discharge path for performing hardware processing on the paper medium. , in the unit built for consoles said unit is arranged so as to be supplied and discharged in parallel to the paper medium on the upper surface of the working top plate from the supply discharge path which is exposed to the working top plate, said Before the supply / discharge path on the work top plate, the ridge portion of the outer peripheral surface is provided such that the height of the work top plate and the height of the supply / discharge path is higher than the higher one. A table with a built-in unit is obtained, which has a roller that can rotate in the paper supply / discharge direction.

  The roller may be configured to be adjustable in height position. A suspension for urging the roller upward may be included. The unit is a hardware process for a paper medium, such as a function for printing on a paper medium, a function for scanning an image of the paper medium, a function for performing facsimile communication using the paper medium, cutting, punching, cutting, embossing the paper medium. It may be at least one of a function for processing and a function for binding a paper medium. The unit may be a printer that prints on a paper medium.

  According to the present invention, there can be obtained a unit built-in table comprising the unit built-in table and the unit.

  The unit built-in table and the unit built-in table according to the present invention can exhibit excellent workability and processing efficiency without increasing the product cost and increasing the work load on the user.

  This is because the unit built-in table and the unit built-in table according to the present invention are required to have high strength in terms of workability and processing efficiency reduction due to the step between the work top plate and the paper supply / discharge path. In addition, this can be eliminated without providing an adjustment mechanism that forces the user to perform an adjustment operation.

  The unit built-in table according to the present invention can incorporate a unit that performs hardware processing such as printing on a paper medium such as a passbook or a slip used in a financial institution or the like into a work top plate. .

  This unit includes a paper supply / discharge path for supplying and discharging a paper medium in a direction parallel to the work top plate. The paper supply / discharge path is exposed on the work top when the unit is built in the work top.

  In particular, this unit built-in table has a ridge portion on the outer peripheral surface, that is, the highest portion, in front of the supply / discharge path on the work top plate, and the height of the work top plate and the height of the supply / discharge path are high. The roller is provided so as to have a height equal to or higher than the direction of the paper, and can idle in the paper supply / discharge direction.

  In this unit built-in table, when the user inserts the paper medium into the paper supply / discharge path in order to supply the paper medium into the unit, the paper medium crawls on the idling roller. Even if the paper supply / discharge path is located high, the paper medium is smoothly inserted without being caught by the step, and the occurrence of a jam can be avoided. On the other hand, even when the paper medium supplied into the unit is discharged from the paper supply / discharge path after being subjected to a predetermined process, the paper medium crawls on the idle roller so that the work can be performed more efficiently than the paper supply / discharge path. Even if the top plate is positioned high, the paper medium is smoothly discharged without being caught by the step, and jamming can be avoided.

  As described above, this unit built-in table is required to have high strength and reduce the workability and the processing efficiency due to the step between the work top plate and the paper supply / discharge path, and the adjustment operation by the user. This can be eliminated without providing an adjustment mechanism that forces the movement. That is, the unit built-in table according to the present invention can exhibit excellent workability and processing efficiency without increasing the product cost and increasing the work load on the user.

  The roller may be configured such that the height position can be adjusted within the height range. Moreover, you may have a suspension which urges | biases a roller upwards.

  Specifically, the unit is a hardware process for a paper medium, such as a function for printing on a paper medium, a function for scanning an image of the paper medium, a function for performing facsimile communication using the paper medium, cutting a paper medium, punching, Any one of a function of cutting and embossing and a function of binding a paper medium, or a combination of two or more functions may be used.

  According to the present invention, it is also possible to obtain a unit built-in table in which the above unit is detachably built in the unit built-in table as described above.

  Hereinafter, a unit built-in table and a unit built-in table according to embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows a printer built-in table as a unit built-in table according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 shows a main part of the printer built-in table shown in FIG.

  Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the printer built-in console used in a financial institution or the like uses a printer unit 20 as a unit for performing printing processing on a paper medium such as a passbook or a slip as a unit built-in table. It is detachably built in the work top plate 11 of the printer built-in table 10. The printer unit 20 includes a paper supply / discharge path 21 for supplying and discharging a paper medium in a direction parallel to the work top plate 11. The paper supply / discharge path 21 is exposed on the work top 11 when the printer unit 20 is built in the work top 11.

  In the printer built-in console, in particular, a groove 12 having a width wider than that of the paper supply / discharge path 21 of the printer unit 20 is formed in front of the paper supply / discharge path 21 of the work top plate 11. In the groove portion 12, the ridge portion of the outer peripheral surface, that is, the highest portion is equal to or higher than the higher one of the height of the paper supply / discharge path 21 and the height of the work top plate 11, A rubber roller 13 capable of idling in the paper supply / discharge direction of a paper medium having a length equal to or longer than that of the paper supply / discharge path 21 is provided.

  FIG. 3 shows a main part of the printer built-in console shown in FIG. 1 when the paper medium P is supplied to the printer unit 20. FIG. 4 shows the main part of the printer built-in console shown in FIG. 1 when the paper medium P is discharged from the printer unit 20.

  In the printer built-in console, as shown in FIG. 3, when the user inserts the paper medium P into the paper supply / discharge path 21 in order to supply the paper medium P into the printer unit 20, Therefore, even if the paper supply / discharge path 21 is positioned higher than the work top plate 11, the paper medium P is smoothly inserted without being caught in the step, and jamming also occurs. Can be avoided.

  On the other hand, in the printer built-in console, as shown in FIG. 4, when the paper medium P supplied into the printer unit 20 is discharged from the paper supply / discharge path 21 after being subjected to predetermined processing, Since the paper medium P crawls on the possible rollers 13, the work top 11 is positioned higher than the paper supply / discharge path 21 (in this figure, the paper supply / discharge path 21 is higher than the work top 11. Even if the paper medium P is located high, the paper medium P is smoothly discharged without being caught by the step, and jamming can be avoided.

  As described above, this printer built-in table is required to have high strength and to reduce the workability and the processing efficiency caused by the step between the work top plate 11 and the paper supply / discharge path 21 and to be adjusted by the user. This can be eliminated without providing an adjustment mechanism that forces the operation. That is, the printer built-in console 10 and the printer built-in console can exhibit excellent workability and processing efficiency without increasing the product cost and increasing the work load on the user.

  Unlike the drive roller connected to the power source, the roller 13 is a roller for passively transporting the paper medium in contact with the roller surface without any delay. It may be made of low friction resin or metal instead of being made. The roller 13 also adjusts the height position in a range where the ridge portion of the outer peripheral surface, that is, the highest portion is higher than the height of the height of the paper supply / discharge path 21 and the height of the work top 11. It may be configured to be possible. Moreover, you may have a suspension (not shown) which urges | biases the roller 13 upwards. In this case, the spring constant of the suspension is set so that the roller 13 is at a relatively high level when no load is applied and sinks to an appropriate level when a load is applied by the paper medium passing through the contact. By doing so, it becomes possible to deal with a considerably wide step size. The upper limit of the height position of the roller 13 is a value such that the height of the rotation center axis of the roller 13 does not exceed the lower one of the supply / discharge path 21 and the work top plate 11. This is because when the height of the rotation center axis of the roller 13 exceeds the lower height, the paper medium coming from the lower side is caught up below the roller.

  The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and it goes without saying that various modifications are possible within the technical scope described in the claims. The same applies to the application to which the present invention is applied. For example, the present invention is not limited to a printer built-in table that can incorporate a printer unit and a printer built-in table that incorporates a printer unit. As a hardware process for a paper medium, printing including printing, coating, and stamping on a paper medium is possible.
