Using the guide rollers 49, 49 as fulcrums, the levers 46, 46 open outward, and the separation rods 45, 45 retreat outward from the side plates 2, 2.

As a result, the separating rods 45, 45 are normally located upward, and when they move downward and are located at the bottom dead center, they are located outwardly from the side plates 2, 2, and then when the page is turned up, It can be moved into the side plates 2, 2 and into the bottom side of the page to separate the page upwards.

Next, the page turning operation will be explained.

First, to explain the order turning based on Figure 6,
In FIG. 6A, when the passbook 1 is normally transported, the movable guide plate 5 is in a position to guide the passbook 1 below, and the turning rollers 24a, 24b are located above.

The passbook 1 supplied from the will be carried out.

That is, the driving rollers 6 to 10 are controlled to drive in the opposite direction (return direction), and the bankbook 1 is conveyed from the Y side to the page turning position.

The forward end side of the passbook 1 in the conveyance direction is the turning roller 24
When the passbook 1 reaches a position slightly overlapping the pressure roller 35a facing the passbook 1, the aforementioned drive rollers 6 to 10 stop driving and stop conveying the passbook 1.

Note that the above-mentioned position detection is performed by an appropriate photoelectric sensor (not shown).

Next, in order to move the operating rod 39 downward, the crank plate 4
4 is rotated, and the drive shafts 26a, 26b are driven in the forward turning direction.

Power is transmitted to the turning rollers 24a, 24b in the forward turning direction by the rotation of the drive shafts 26a, 26b, and the one-way clutch of the turning roller 24b for reverse turning is driven because the one-way clutch 28b is set in the reverse turning direction. First, as a result, the turning roller 24a for turning the pages is driven in the turning direction.

Furthermore, since the swinging rods 25a, 25b are pulled down based on the downward movement of the operating rod 39, the turning rollers 24a, 24b are moved downward toward the turning position.

At the same time, the sector gear 20 rotates based on the downward movement of the swinging rod 25a, and this rotation causes the movable guide plate 5 to rotate upward.

In addition, since the connecting rod 23 is moved downward based on the downward movement of the operating rod 39, the pressure rollers 13 and 14 are separated from the drive rollers 8 and 9, so the pressure on the printed page is released and the printed page can be turned over. Become.

In FIG. 6B, turning rollers 24a, 24
When b moves downward and contacts the passbook 1 at the bottom dead center, the roller 24a is located at the edge on the page turning side,
The other roller 24b is located at the seam portion on the page turning side. By locating the roller 24b at the seam portion, the printed page is given stiffness, so that it is possible to prevent the second and subsequent pages from being turned over at the same time.

When the turning roller 24a comes into contact with the printed page,
Since this roller 24a is rotated in the forward turning direction, it turns over the page and simultaneously rises from the dead center. For this reason, you don't have to keep flipping to the next page at the bottom.

In addition, the separation rods 45, 45 are the turning rollers 24.
When a and 24b are at or near the bottom dead center, they are positioned outside of the side plates 2 and 2 by the horizontal surfaces of the L-shaped guide rods 50 and 50, so that they do not prevent the turning roller 24a from turning up. There isn't.

In FIG. 6C, the printed page turned up by the turning roller 24a rides on this roller 24a. Then, as the aforementioned operating rod 39 rises, the separation rods 45, 45 are moved to the L-shaped guide rod 50,
Since it is guided by the vertical plane of 50, it is positioned on the underside of the printed page that has been turned inside the side plates 2, 2, and is lifted up in that state.

When the printed page is removed from the turning roller 24a as it rises, the printed page is moved to the separation rod 4.
Supported by 5,45.

In FIG. 6D, once the printed page is supported, the drive rollers 6 to 10 are driven again in the opposite direction (return direction), and the bankbook 1 is once sent to the X side.
By this feeding, the printed page is separated by the separation rods 45, 45.
It is folded back.

The above-mentioned feeding of the bankbook 1 is stopped at a position where the trailing edge passes over the drive roller 9, and the above-mentioned stopping position is detected by a suitable photoelectric sensor.

In FIG. 6E, when the operating rod 39 reaches the top dead center, the turning rollers 24a, 24b reach the upper standby position, and the movable guide plate 5 is returned to the lower guide position. At this time, the printed page is held down by the movable guide plate 5, and page turning is completed.

The drive rollers 6 to 10 are then driven in the forward direction (take-in direction) and sent out to the Y side.

At this time, the page sensor 16 reads the page code 17 of the bankbook 1 and compares it with the previous page stored in advance to confirm whether or not the page has been turned normally. Note that passbook 1 is inserted so that page number 17 is on the Y side, so after turning the page,
It is advantageous to be able to check whether the page turns are correct or not at an early stage.

Next, to explain reverse flipping based on Figure 7,
In FIG. 7A, when the page sensor 16 checks the page and it becomes necessary to turn the page in the opposite direction, the driving rollers 6 to 10 are driven in the reverse direction (return direction), and the passbook 1 is turned over from the Y side. transported to the location.

The rear end side of the passbook 1 in the conveying direction is the reverse turning roller 24
When the passbook 1 reaches a position slightly overlapping the pressure roller 35b facing the passbook 1, the transport of the passbook 1 is stopped.

Note that the above-mentioned position detection is performed by an appropriate photoelectric sensor (not shown).

The drive shafts 26a, 26b are driven in the reverse-turning direction, and therefore the reverse-turning roller 24b is driven in the reverse-turning direction. Note that the turning roller 24a for forward turning is not driven because the one-way clutch 28a is set in the forward turning direction.

Based on the downward movement of the operating rod 39, the turning roller 2
4a and 24b begin to move downward, the movable guide plate 5 begins to move upward, and the pressure rollers 13 and 14 move away from the drive rollers 8 and 9 to release the pressure on the printed page and enable the printed page to be turned over. .

In FIG. 7B, turning rollers 24a, 24
When b moves downward and touches passbook 1 at the bottom dead center,
The roller 24b is located at the edge portion on the page turning side, and the other roller 24a is located at the seam portion on the page turning side.

Note that the turning roller 24a prevents pages after the second page from being turned over at the same time, as in the case of sequential turning described above.

When the turning roller 24b comes into contact with the printed page,
Since this turning roller 24b is rotated in the reverse turning direction, it turns over the page and simultaneously rises from the bottom dead center.

In FIG. 7C, the printed page turned up by the turning roller 24b rides on this roller 24b. Then, the separating rods 45, 45 enter the bottom side of the turned-up printed page and rise in that state.

When the printed page is removed from the turning roller 24b as it rises, the printed page is moved to the separation rod 4.
Supported by 5,45.

In FIG. 7D, once the printed page is supported, the drive rollers 6 to 10 are then driven in the forward direction (take-in direction), and the bankbook 1 is sent toward the Y side. As a result of this feeding, the printed page is folded over by the separating rods 45, 45, and as it is further fed, it is pressed by the drive roller 9.

In FIG. 7E, when the operating rod 39 reaches the top dead center, the turning rollers 24a and 24b reach the upper standby position, and the movable guide plate 5 is returned to the lower guiding position, and the reverse turning of the printed page is performed. Complete.

Then, the page sensor 16 reads the page code 17 of the bankbook 1 to confirm whether or not reverse turning has been performed normally.

FIG. 8 shows a page turning control circuit, in which the page data of the page code 17 before the page break read by the page sensor 16 is stored in the first register 53 via the AND gate 52 in response to the first reading completion signal. Ru.

Next, the pages are being turned over, and the page data of the page code 17 after the page break is stored in the second register 55 via the AND gate 54 in response to the second read completion signal.

The comparison circuit 56 compares the data in the registers 53 and 55 before and after the page break. As a result of the comparison, if there is a +1 page difference between before and after turning, the page has been turned normally and an OK signal is output, and if the above-mentioned page difference is zero, it indicates that the page has not been turned. Therefore, a forward-turning command is output again, and if the above-mentioned difference is +2 or more, it means that the pages have been turned over too much, and a reverse-turning command is output. Based on these commands, the operations shown in FIG. 6 or 7 described above are performed.

For the above-mentioned first reading of page data, page data magnetically recorded on the magnetic stripe of the cover of the bankbook may be used.
