BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic page turning mechanism, particularly an automatic page turning mechanism for turning pages by a page turning roller, in a bank account processing apparatus used in a financial institution such as a bank.

In the automatic page turning mechanism of the passbook processing apparatus generally used in financial institutions such as post offices and banks, a page turning roller supported by an arm is pressed against the page surface to be turned up by the arm and rotated, and the passbook is turned over. In some cases, page turning is performed by returning.

In recent years, there have been many opportunities for turning pages of a book, such as printing a book on a bank account at a time or printing an account automatically. In the case of performing a conventional page turning, a page turning roller is first pressed against a page to be turned, rotated, the page is turned over, a bankbook is conveyed in that state, and a page turning is performed. When the subsequent shaving is to be carried over, the bankbook is returned to the position of the page turning roller, and the page turning roller is pressed against the next page to be turned over to perform the same operation as the first sheet.

However, in the conventional automatic page turning mechanism, when turning several pages in succession, the page turning operation takes time because the page turning is completely completed after each page turning, and the time for the whole passbook processing is long. Took In addition, there was a fear that the page turning rollers pressed the page surface one by one, or that two pages were flipped at the same time.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is to provide a page turning roller rotatably supported by an arm on a page surface of a book-like medium, and to rotate the page turning roller to turn the pages and to turn the pages. In the page turning mechanism, a part of the page turning roller is formed as a friction member, and is formed on the arm rotatably attached, and a hook portion and a book-shape for hanging the tip of the page turned over by the rotation of the page turning roller. It is provided with a pressurized member which is provided on the opposite side of the said page turning roller with respect to the conveyance path of a medium, and inclined obliquely by the pressurization from the conveyance path side.

According to the present invention having the above constitution, when turning several pages continuously, when the page turning roller is pressed against the page surface to be turned of the booklet medium, the member to be pressurized is inclined through the booklet medium. As a result, the booklet media is also inclined to shift the page surface. When the page turning roller is rotated in this state, the friction member of the page turning roller comes into contact with the page surface and overturns the page surface. The tip of the flipped-up page is caught by a catch formed in the arm.

In addition, when the page turning roller is rotated in this state, the next page surface to be turned over is lifted by the friction member, and the tip of the page surface is caught by the locking portion.

This operation is repeated as many times as the page turns, and then the arm is rotated to lift the flipped up page surface.

4 is a perspective view showing a conveyance path of an account book of an embodiment, and FIG. 5 is a sectional view showing a pressurized member of an embodiment. In addition, the conveyance path demonstrated here is a conveyance path of the bankbook located under the said page turning part.

In FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the to-be-pressed member 73 and the conveyance guide 74 are provided between the frames 71 and 72 arrange | positioned at the both sides of a conveyance path.

The press member 73 is disposed below the page turning rollers 23 and 41 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 so as to be inserted into the groove 75 formed in the frames 71 and 72. As shown in FIG. 5, it is press-contacted from below by the torsion spring 77 fitted to the shaft 76. As shown in FIG.

Therefore, when a force is applied to the one end 73a of the to-be-pressed member 73 from the upper part, only this one end 73a will fall and the other end 73b will not fall. Similarly, when a force is applied from the upper end to the other end 73b of the to-be-pressed member 73, only this other end 73b is lowered and one end 73a is not lowered.

As for the conveyance guide 74, the upper surface is formed in the same height as the upper surface of the to-be-pressed member 73, and is integrally formed with the frames 71 and 72. As shown in FIG. In the conveyance guide 74, the notch 78 into which the conveyance roller which is not shown in figure is formed is formed.

The optical sensor 79 is provided in the frame 71 above the to-be-pressed member 73, and the optical sensor 80 is also provided above the wave-pressing member 73 in the frame 72 as well. The optical sensors 79 and 80 are arranged at positions slightly shifted from the side of the conveyance path 81. Both optical sensors 79 and 80 are sensors for detecting whether or not the page surface to be turned is turned over when the page is turned.

6 is a control block diagram showing a control system of the embodiment. In this figure, the controller 81 controls the whole operation of the automatic page turning mechanism of the present embodiment, and the optical sensors 50, 57, 79 and 80 are connected to the controller 81. have. The optical sensor 82 is a sensor provided for the shield part 12 shown in FIG. 1, and the optical sensor 83 is a sensor provided for the shield part 17 shown in FIG. Sensors 82 and 83 are also connected to the control unit 81.

In addition, a drive circuit 84 is connected to the control unit 81, and the motors 55 and 62 and the motors 85 and 86 are connected to the drive circuit 84. The motor 85 is a motor that is provided on the frame 1 side shown in FIG. 1 and constitutes a page turning roller rotation transmission mechanism connected to the gear 10. The motor 86 is installed on the frame 1 side. And a motor constituting an arm rotational motion transmission mechanism connected to the gear 15.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 12.

7 to 12 are operation explanatory diagrams showing the operation of the embodiment. In addition, only the elements which are necessary for description are shown in these drawings.

7, the conveyance rollers 91 and 92 and the conveyance rollers 93 and 94 are provided above and below the conveyance path 81. In FIG. First, the passbook 90 is conveyed by the conveyance rollers 91, 92, 93, and 94 through the conveyance path 81 to the lower side of the page turning part, and the page turning surface 90a is to be pressed. It stops at the position above.

At this time, the arm parts 16 and 34 are kept almost horizontal, and the page turning rollers 23 and 41 guide the conveyance of the bankbook 90 above the conveyance path 81. At this time, the friction members 25 and 43 of the page turning rollers 23 and 41 retreat from the conveyance surface of the bank book 90. Since the surfaces other than the friction members 25 and 43 of the page turning rollers 23 and 41 are constituted by a smooth member, the passbook 90 is guided well. In addition, since the page turning rollers 23 and 41 are arranged in a nest, the pages of the bankbook 90 are not caught between the page turning rollers 23 and 41.

Next, the arm motor 16 is rotated so that the page turning roller 23 descends by rotating the shaft 5 in the clockwise direction through the arm part rotational motion transmission mechanism by driving the pulse motor 86. In addition, the pulse motor 62 is driven to rotate the shaft 6 in the clockwise direction through the arm part rotational motion transmission mechanism 63 to rotate the arm part 34 so that the page turning roller 41 rises. As a result, the page turning roller 41 retreats. When the page turning roller 23 descends, it contacts the page surface 90a of the bankbook 90, presses the bankbook 90, and then presses the other end 73b of the to-be-pressed member 73, and the torsion spring 77 is carried out. Pressing the other end (77b) of the other end (73b) of the pressure member 73 is lowered to incline the pressure member 73. At this time, the page surface 90a of the bankbook 90 is inclined obliquely in accordance with the inclination of the member to be pressurized (73) (this state is shown in FIG. 8). When the bankbook 90 is inclined at an angle, each surface is shifted one by one, so that it is easy to turn over one by one. The amount of falling of the arm portion 16 is controlled by the optical sensor 83 detecting the amount of rotation of the shield portion 17, and the amount of rising of the arm portion 34 is determined by the amount of rotation of the shield portion 35. 57 is controlled by detecting.

Next, the motor 55 is rotated to rotate the shaft 3 through the rotation transfer mechanism 56 of the page turning roller, and in addition, each gear 13 and 14 of the arm portion 16 in the gear 7 is rotated. The page turning roller 23 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction through the 30, 29, 28 and 24. FIG. By the rotation of the page turning roller 23, the friction member 25 on its surface turns over the page 90a (this state is indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 9). When the turned over page 90a passes through the optical axis of the optical sensor 79, the turning up of the page 90a is detected at that time. In addition, when the page turning roller 23 is rotated, the tip of the page 90a is separated from the friction member 25 of the page turning roller 23 by the restoring force of the paper and curved as indicated by the solid line in FIG. It is caught by the locking portion 22 of the arm portion 16. In this way, one page is turned over by one rotation of the page turning roller 23.

In the case of turning the page continuously, the page turning roller 23 is continuously rotated. At the time when the friction member 25 contacts the page surface, the second page is turned over as the page turning roller 23 rotates. At this time, since the first page is largely curved by the catching portion 22, the second page is flipped over without being subjected to the load of the first page. Then, the page turning roller 23 rotates, the second page passes through the optical axis of the optical sensor 79 and overlaps with the first page so that its tip is caught by the locking portion 22.

In addition, in the case where page turning is continuously performed, the page 90a is fastened in the state shown by the solid line in FIG. 9 by rotating the page turning roller 23 as described above.

When turning over the predetermined number of pages, the pulse motor 86 is then rotated to rotate the shaft 5 counterclockwise in FIG. 9 via the arm rotational motion transmission mechanism. As a result, the arm 16 rotates in the same direction, and the page turning roller 23 ascends. As the page turning roller 23 rises, the other end 73b and the passbook 90 of the to-be-pressed member 73 raise by the force of the other end 77b of the torsion spring 77. As shown in FIG. The other end 73b and the passbook 90 of the to-be-pressed member 73 stop in the position shown in FIG.

In addition, even if the next page is turned over with the last page by the rotation of the page turning roller 23, the next page is shaken off and the last page by raising the page turning roller 23 after the last page is finished. It is to turn over the bay.

When the page turning roller 23 is raised to become almost horizontal as shown in FIG. 10, the tip of the page 90a that has been caught by the unwinding portion 22 escapes from the catching portion 22 and is broken by the dotted line in FIG. As shown in the figure, the state depends on the page turning roller 23. In addition, the arm 16 is rotated so that the page turning roller 23 is stopped at the same height as the page turning roller 41 on the opposite side (this state is shown in FIG. 11). At this time, the turned pages 90a are lightly sandwiched between the page turning roller 23 and the page turning roller 41.

Next, the motor 55 is rotated to rotate the page turning roller 23 in the counterclockwise direction, and the motor 85 is rotated to rotate the page turning roller 41 in the clockwise direction. As a result, the page 90a is surely held over without covering the state before the turning up. The page turning roller 23 may not necessarily rotate as long as the page 90a is reliably turned over.

Next, the conveyance rollers 91, 92, 93, 94 are rotated by the drive means which is not shown in figure, and the bank book 90 is conveyed in the left direction in FIG.

As a result, when the stiffness 90b of the bankbook 90 comes near both the page turning rollers 23 and 41, the turned up page 90a becomes a vertically standing upright, and the stiffness 90b is both the page turning rollers ( 23) When passing through the middle of 41, the page 90a which is turned over is turned to the opposite side of the bankbook 90 (this state is shown in FIG. 12). When the tip of the page 90a which has been turned up has fallen from the page turning roller 41, the rotation of the page turning roller 23 is stopped and the arm 16 is rotated clockwise. As a result, the page curling roller 23 descends and pushes down the page 90a that is turned over. Thereafter, the rotation of the page turning roller 41 is stopped, and the arm 34 on the opposite side is rotated in the counterclockwise direction to lower the page turning roller 41 to the position shown in FIG. This completes the page turning operation.

When turning the opposite side of the bankbook 90, the operation of the arm part and the page turning roller are reversed from left to right. That is, the page turning roller 23 is pulled upward and the page turning roller 41 on the opposite side is pressed against the page of the bankbook 90 to perform page turning.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the pages to be flipped are turned up one by one, and the front end is held on the hook portion 22 to hold several pages, and then the bankbook 90 is returned to turn over the pages at once. Therefore, it can be processed in a relatively short time even when turning several pages.

In addition, according to the present embodiment, when the page turning roller is pressed against the page and the page turning is performed, the press member 73 is inclined at an angle so that the page to be turned is also inclined at an angle so that separation of the page to be turned from another page is assured. It is done.

In addition, according to the present embodiment, the page turning roller as a whole is provided because the page turning rollers are arranged in a nested manner from both sides of the passbook 90 on both sides by using the press member 73 as well. The space occupying the additional device becomes small.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible. For example, the member to be pressed under the pressure member 73 may be used as a coil spring instead of a torsion spring. 13 is a schematic perspective view showing a modification of the press member. In this figure, posts 102a and 102b are formed at ends of the member to be pressed. The post 102a is formed at one end of the to-be-pressed member 101, the post 102b is formed at the other end of the to-be-pressed member 101, and these posts 102a and 102b are groove portions formed in the frame 103. It is fitted to 104a and 104b.

Posts 105a and 105b are also formed on the opposite side of the member to be pressurized and are similarly fitted to a frame (not shown). Coil springs 106 are attached to these posts 102a, 102b, 105a and 105b, respectively, and are biased upwards. Even if it is comprised as mentioned above, the one end 101a and the other end 101b of the to-be-pressed member 101 can be inclined downward, and the same effect as the said Example is exhibited.

In the above embodiment, two optical sensors for detecting page flipping are provided corresponding to both cases, but only one may be used.

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, by providing a locking portion for hanging the page turned over by the page turning roller, it is possible to shorten the time for continuous page turning. In addition, by providing a pressurized member that can be inclined below the page turning roller, the page can be tilted up and down at the time of the page turning, thereby making it possible to reliably turn over the page.
