Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a self-service passbook turning device for automatically turning over the printed pages of a passbook used in banks and post offices, for example.

When printing transaction data or unrecorded data on a passbook using an automatic deposit machine, automatic teller machine, or bookkeeping machine, if the above-mentioned data reaches the next page, the passbook must be pulled out and the customer or staff can change the page. and must be reinserted.

The above-mentioned self-service hoeing device is built into the above-mentioned automatic teller machine, automatic teller machine, or bookkeeping machine to automatically change pages, but this hoeing mechanism is used to turn over the printed pages of a passbook by rotating a friction roller. When structured like this, the bankbook generally has the festival in the center and is designed to be folded at this part, so when the pages are turned using the friction roller mentioned above, the festival will be centered on the festival. This method has the disadvantage that the next page is also turned over next to the printed page that you try to turn over.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a self-service passbook turning device that uses a friction roller to turn the pages, but only the desired page is surely turned, without turning the next page.

According to this invention, the page is turned by the friction roller while the pressing member presses the appropriate position between the contact position of the friction roller on the printed page and the festival, so that the page to be turned and the next page have a stiffness. Therefore, even if the page to be turned is turned over by the friction roller, the next page has a stiffness so that it will not be turned over again, thereby ensuring that only the -th page can be turned over.

The turn-over operation will be explained based on the above-mentioned turn-over operation shown in FIG. 6 and the explanatory diagram of the turn-up operation shown in FIG.

The conveyor rollers 26 and 27 in the self-operating drive device 9 are controlled to be driven in forward and reverse directions in synchronization with the conveyor belts 7 and 8.

Normally, when the guide plate 10 forms a conveyance path by the conveyor belts 7 and 8, the support lever 20 is located away from the support plate 15.

When the order-turning command is output, the solenoid 68 is activated, and the guide plate 10 projects into the conveyance path of the conveyor belts 7 and 8 to take the passbook 1 receiving position.

The support lever 20 moves toward the support plate 15 side in conjunction with the movement of the guide plate 10 described above, and the support plate 15 and the support lever 20 described above form a conveyance path for the bankbook 1.

Then, the sequential turning mechanism 11 is driven. As shown in FIG. 7A, when the passbook 1 is received by the guide plate 10 into the self-finishing device 9 from the conveyor belt 8 whose return conveyance is controlled by the reverse rotation control of the conveyor motor 67, the passbook 1 is The passbook 1 is conveyed to a predetermined stop position by the conveyance rollers 26 and 27, and when this is detected by an appropriate photoelectric sensor, the conveyance of the passbook 1 is stopped.

As shown in FIG. 7, the motor 43a rotates to be controlled one rotation, and the movable lever 34a moves toward the passbook 1 side to make one reciprocating swing.

At this time, the separating rod 57a passes over the surface of the passbook 1 and once moves to the opposite side due to the 180 degree rotation of the rack 61a and pinion 60a based on the movement of the connecting rod 66a.

As shown in FIG. 7, when the movable lever 34a moves and approaches the passbook 1 side, the operating pin 53a of the lever 51a comes into contact with the contact member 55a, thereby pushing the passbook holding plate 52a
moves to the passbook 1 side and presses a position approximately 5 m11 away from the binding 4 on the side of the page to be turned.

Furthermore, since the tip of the movable lever 34a presses the operating roller 33a by its movement, the pressing roller 28 is separated from the conveying roller 26 based on the displacement of the operating roller 33a.
Release the grip.

At this point, the solenoid 68 that was moving the guide plate 10 becomes 0FF, so the support lever 20 is moved by the spring 1.
It separates from the passbook due to the force of 8.

On the other hand, the friction roller 13a is rotated in the page turning direction by the rotation of the motor 43a, and when it comes into contact with the page to be turned in the passbook 1, it sends the edge of the page toward the binding 4 side and turns it halfway. increase.

At this time, since the binding 4 side is pressed by the passbook presser plate 52a, that page and the following pages also have stiffness.
Although these pages become difficult to turn, the topmost turnable page is forcibly turned over by the friction roller 13a, and subsequent pages are prevented from being turned over as a result of this turning.

A gap is formed in the middle of the top page to be turned and the next page.

Thereafter, the friction roller 13a begins a process of moving away from the bankbook 1 while rotating.

When the movable lever 34a begins to move away, the separating rod 57a reverses and moves 180 degrees, and its tip bulges out from the side of the passbook and enters the gap on the bottom of the turning page.

As shown in FIG. 72, when the movable lever 34a moves away from the bankbook 1, the operating pin 53a and the contact member 55
Since the contact with the passbook a is released, the passbook holding plate 52a is separated from the passbook 1, and the pressing of the operating roller 33a by the tip of the movable lever 34a is also released, so the pressing roller 28 is urged toward the conveyance roller 26 side.

Then, the separating rod 57a rotates as the movable lever 34a moves in the above-mentioned direction to turn the page to the end.

Therefore, the page turning operation of the printed page 2 is initially turned over by the friction roller 13a, and thereafter by the separation rod 57a.

The printed page 2 that has been turned over is placed on the outer side of the pressure roller 29.

Then, the micro switch 69a detects one revolution of the motor 43a and stops the motor 43a.

As shown in Figure 7 E, when the page turning is completed, the solenoid 6
8 is operated again to move the guide plate 10 to the conveyor belts 7 and 8.
The support lever 20 is moved toward the passbook 1 side to form a transport path.

At the same time, the conveyance motor 67 is controlled to rotate in the normal direction, so that the conveyance rollers 26 and 27 are driven in the direction of sending out the passbook 1 from the self-handling device 9, and the conveyance belt 8 is controlled to rotate in the printing device (
(not shown).
is guided by the guide plate 10 and sent to the conveyor belt 8 side. The printed page 2 turned over at this time is completely turned over by the conveyance roller 26 and the pressure roller 28, and a new printed page 2 is presented to the printing device, thus completing the sequential turning operation of the printed page 2.

The reverse-turning operation will be explained based on the above-mentioned reverse-turning operation shown in FIG. 6 and the diagram for explaining the reverse-turning operation shown in FIG. 8.

The above-mentioned reverse turning operation is used to deal with excessive turning during the above-mentioned forward turning.

This reverse turning is performed by the reverse turning mechanism 12, and its operation is essentially the same as the operation of the forward turning mechanism 11 described above, except for the processing after the printed page 2 is turned over. That is, the guide plate 10 protrudes into the conveyance path, and the support lever 20 and the support plate 15 form a conveyance path.

As shown in FIG. 8A, the bankbook 1 is received by the self-paying device 9 by the guide plate 10, conveyed to a predetermined position, and stopped.

As shown in FIG. 8, the motor 43b is controlled for one rotation, and the movable lever 34b is moved toward the passbook 1 side so as to swing back and forth once.

At this time, the separating rod 57b temporarily moves to the opposite side to perform a 180 degree rotation based on the movement of the movable lever 34b.

As shown in FIG. 8C, as the movable lever 34b moves toward the passbook 1 side, the passbook presser plate 52b moves the binding 4 on the side of the page to be turned based on the operation pin 53b coming into contact with the contact member 55b. Press at a position approximately 5 mm away.

Further, the tip of the movable lever 34b operates the operating roller 33b to separate the pressing roller 29 from the conveying roller 27.

And solenoid 68. Set to 0FF and support lever 20
Separate the bankbook 1 from the bankbook 1 so that the printed page 2 of the bankbook 1 can be turned over.

On the other hand, the friction roller 13b is rotated in the page turning direction by the rotation of the motor 43b, and when it comes into contact with the page of the bankbook 1 to be turned, the edge of the page is sent to the side of the stitch 4 and turned over.

A gap is formed between the page turned over by the friction roller 13b and the next page in the middle, and then the friction roller 13b begins a transition process in a direction away from the passbook 1 while rotating.

Due to the above-mentioned transition process operation of the movable lever 34b, the separation rod 5
7b is reversed and its tip enters the gap on the bulged lower surface of the page to be turned.

As shown in FIG. 82, when the movable lever 34b moves away from the bankbook 1, the bankbook holding plate 52b
is released from its presser foot, and the pressure roller 29 is released from the conveyor roller 2.
7 side.

Then, the separating rod 57b rotates to turn over the page, and the turned printed page 2 is positioned on the outer surface side of the pressing roller 28.

The operation up to this point is the same as that of the turn-over operation described above.

However, when the passbook 1 is sent out to the printing device (not shown) in this state, the pages that have been turned over are turned over by the pressure roller 28. To prevent this, the following operation is performed. That is, as shown in FIG. 8E, the transport motor 67
is reversely controlled and the conveying rollers 26 and 27 are driven again in the taking-in direction, and the passbook 1 is further conveyed inside and the turned-over printed page 2 is removed from the pressing roller 28. Thereafter, the guide plate 10 is projected onto the conveyance path by the operation of the solenoid 68, and the support lever 20 moves toward the support plate 15 to hold down the bankbook 1.

As shown in FIG. 8, the conveyance motor 67 is switched to normal rotation control, the conveyance rollers 26 and 27 are driven in the direction of sending out the passbook 1, and the conveyance belt 8 is controlled to drive the passbook 1 into the printing device (not shown). The printed page 2 of the passbook 1 is then turned over and inserted between the pressure roller 28 and the conveying roller 26 to obtain a conveying force, guided by the guide plate 10 and sent out to the conveying belt 8 side. , the newly turned printed page 2 is presented to the printing device, and the reverse turning operation of the printed page 2 is completed.

To determine whether the pages turned by the automatic turning device 9 have been turned normally or whether they have been turned too much, check the page marks 3 and 3 attached at the top and bottom of the printed page 2 before and after turning the page. This is determined by mechanically reading and comparing the results.

This determination point is provided in a portion of the printing device or in the conveyance path leading thereto.
