DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Outline] When a page turning device turns a plurality of pages of a booklet, conventionally, it is necessary to inflate the pages one by one and flip them up before carrying the booklet to turn the pages. Since it takes time, it is necessary to evacuate the page that has been flipped up, then inflate the next page, repeat the operation of flipping up and evacuating, and evacuate a specified number of pages, then transport the booklet at once. I was able to turn the page.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to an apparatus for page turning booklets, and more particularly to a page turning apparatus capable of turning a plurality of pages at high speed.

Banking automation has progressed and passbook printers have come to be used for posting in passbooks.For this reason, a page turning device is installed in the passbook printer to automatically turn pages to the page to be posted. ing.

By the way, a bank's general account passbook, etc. are transacted over many pages. For example, there is a case where a regular page is entered and then a regular page is entered. In this case, since there is a regular page at the end of the ordinary page of the passbook, the number of pages to be turned over is large, the processing time becomes long, and the service to the customer is deteriorated.

Therefore, a device for accurately turning a plurality of pages in a short time is required.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an example of a conventional page turning apparatus, FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the operation of FIG. 4, and FIG. 6 is a flow chart for explaining the operation of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 4, in order to position the medium, the control circuit 1 controls the motor drive circuit 2 to drive the motor 20 to rotate the medium carrying rollers 8 and 9, and, for example, passbook 18 in the direction of arrow A. Transport to. As shown in FIG. 5A, in the medium positioning sensors 10 and 11, for example, the light sent from the medium positioning sensor 10 is received by the medium positioning sensor 11, and the light reception is blocked, so that the passbook 18 When the end is detected, the control circuit 1 is notified via the sensor amplifier circuit 4, so that the control circuit 1 stops driving the motor 20.

At this time, the bulge detecting panel 17 is in parallel with the passbook 18, as shown in FIG.

Here, as shown in FIG. 6, the control circuit 1 applies pressure to expand the page. Therefore, the magnet drive circuit 3 is controlled to drive the magnet 15 and the pressure switching mechanism 14 to expand to repel the page. The passbook 18 is extruded in the direction of the roller 7 and inflated and pressed onto the repelling roller 7.

Then, the control circuit 1 passes through the motor drive circuit 2 and the motor 21.
Is driven to rotate the inflating and repelling roller 7.
Here, the topmost page 19 of the passbook 18 is pushed in the direction opposite to the arrow A by the inflating repelling roller 7 and pressed by the medium conveying rollers 8 and 9, so that the inflating repelling roller 7 is pushed. The space between the raising roller 7 and the medium carrying roller 8 swells, and as shown in FIG.
Push up.

The bulge detection sensor 16 detects that the bulge of the page 19 has reached a predetermined size, for example, from the rotation angle of the bulge detection panel 17, and the control circuit 1 is sent to the control circuit 1 via the sensor amplifier circuit 4. Notice.

When the control circuit 1 detects the bulge of the page 19, as shown in FIG. 6, it pushes up the page without applying pressure.
The drive of 21 is stopped, the rotation of the inflating repelling roller 7 is once stopped, the drive of the magnet 15 is stopped, and the pressure switching mechanism 14 stops the pressure bonding of the passbook 18 to the inflating repelling roller 7. To do. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the next page from expanding from the passbook 18 to the page 19.

Here, the control circuit 1 drives the motor 21 again to rotate the inflating and repelling roller 7. Since the page 19 is caught by the inflating repelling roller 7, the page 19 is repelled and the repelling detection sensors 12 and 13 detect that the page 19 is repelled.

That is, as shown in FIG. 5 (c), the rebound detection sensor 12
The light sent by is reflected by the mirror 22 and is received by the splash-up detection sensor 13, but the receipt of light is blocked by the page 19, whereby the splash is detected.

When the control circuit 1 is notified of the flip-up of the page 19 via the sensor amplification circuit 4, as shown in FIG. 6, in order to move the medium and achieve page turning, the motor 20 is driven to drive the medium carrying roller 8 5 and 9, the passbook 18 is conveyed in the direction of the arrow A, the page 19 is tilted to the opposite side by the inflating and repelling roller 7, and the medium conveying rollers 5 and 6 are used as shown in FIG. 5 (d). By further carrying the passbook 18, the page turning operation of the page 19 is completed.

Here, as shown in FIG. 6, the control circuit 1 checks whether or not a predetermined number of page turnings have been completed, and if so, ends the operation, but if not completed, starts the operation from the positioning of the medium. Start.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

Conventionally, when it is necessary to turn multiple pages, if you try to turn more than one page at a time, the first one will be swollen or flipped up, and the second one will be swollen. Alternatively, since it is impossible to detect the flip-up state, it is necessary to repeat page turning one by one as shown in FIG. Therefore, there is a problem that the processing time is long, the time for holding the customer is long, and the service is deteriorated.

[Means for solving problems]

FIG. 1 is a block diagram for explaining an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 1 shows in FIG. 4 the flip-up sheet retract guide 23, a magnet 24 for moving the flip-up sheet retract guide 23, a holding mechanism 25 for holding the page retracted by the flip-up sheet guide 23, and this holding Magnet 26 that operates mechanism 25
And a magnet 27 for retracting the bulge detection panel 17 are added, and the mounting position of the bulge detection panel 17 is changed.

When the control circuit 1 is notified by the expansion detection sensor 16 that the page 19 has expanded to a predetermined size, the magnet 27
Is driven to retract the swelling detection panel 17, and when the flip-up detection sensor 13 notifies the flip-up of page 19, the magnet 24 is driven and the flip-up sheet evacuation guide
23 is moved in the direction opposite to arrow A.

At the same time, the control circuit 1 drives the magnet 26 to hold the holding mechanism.
25 is opened, and the page 19 moved by the flip-up paper evacuation guide 23 is taken in and held.

[Action]

With the above configuration, the flip-up paper evacuation guide 23
Since the page 19 that is flipped up is held by the holding mechanism 25, the flip-up detection sensor 13 can detect the flip-up state of the next page again, and the control circuit 1 inflates the flip-up roller. Since it is possible to rotate 7 to flip up the next page following page 19, by holding the plurality of pages at once by the holding mechanism 25 and then rotating the medium carrying rollers 8 and 9. , You can complete page turning all at once.
