Fig. 4 A, 4B, 4C, Fig. 5 A, 5B illustrate in the bankbook processing device 40, the mechanism map of the medium shift mechanism 34 of the inclination of adjustment bankbook 6.Medium shift mechanism 34, by frictional force being delivered to bankbook 6 and making bankbook 6 shift near the

shift roller

1,2 of the elastomer that has shape for lugs (rubber etc.) of basic rack 4, generation is used for making the motor 20 of the rotating drive power that these

shift roller

1,2 rotate, carry out the gear train 37 of the transmission of power between

shift roller

1,2 and the motor 20, and position sensor 21 formations that detect the rotation number of turns of shift roller 1,2.

Shift roller

1,2 has two in the present embodiment, and these are to the mounting distance difference of basic rack 4, and the elastomeric rotation phase of the shape for lugs that contacts with bankbook 6 has nothing in common with each other.These 2 is the structural feature among the present invention.

In addition, bankbook 6 is all the time by transporting on the road 3 by being pressed in down with weak power by pressure ball 36a.Make the formation that can move up and down by pressure ball 36.

Here, because on the position of the elastomer contact bankbook 6 that transports the

shift roller

1,2 on the road surface 3 down, be formed with pit shape 38a, so contact with a little crooked state with bankbook 6.Like this by elastomeric bending, even for various medium, the thick bankbook of thickness for example, thick thin subpoena also can produce stable medium displacement force.That is to say, such effect is arranged, promptly for the strong medium of rigidity (for example thick bankbook of thickness), suppress the medium displacement force by the elastomer bending, for the medium a little less than the rigidity (for example weak subpoena of rigidity), by the elastomer bending, and subpoena also bending suppress the medium displacement force.Like this, by the medium displacement force is suppressed to low value, has and eliminate because too be shifted and the effect of jam.

Next, Fig. 4 B, 4C illustrate the phase diagram of shift roller.After the position upper position sensor 21 of the shift roller of Fig. 4 B detects shift roller, bankbook 6 transverse directions are shifted near, on the position of the shift roller of Fig. 4 C, finish to shift near action.

In addition, Fig. 5 A is the vertical view of Fig. 4 A.The shift roller 1 that Fig. 5 A illustrates medium shift mechanism 34 is configured in than shift roller 2 more on the position near basic rack 4.In addition, because shift roller 1 differs setting with the rotation phase of shift roller 2, for example, at first shift roller 1 acts on bankbook 6 and becomes (I) state of Fig. 5 B, shift roller 2 acts on bankbook 6 and becomes (II) state of Fig. 5 B then, the adjustment to basic rack 4 of the former medium that can more effectively carry out longitudinally length etc. as shown in Fig. 5 B, can produce displacement force so that be in the state that the bankbook of A condition can become B, C.

Fig. 7 illustrates from bankbook 6 and is inserted into bankbook processing device to the workflow that shifts near release, and Fig. 8 is the figure of condition table of actuating speed of the motor 20 of presentation medium shift mechanism 34.

At first, detect the occasion (step 701) of bankbook 6, because bankbook 6 normally put into along basic rack 4, so

shift roller

1,2 and inoperative is not carried out the adjustment of bankbook at cross sensor 7.In addition, put into when skilled at bankbook, i.e. several times study is put bankbook into absorb mouthful result, and the occasion of putting under normal state in that the occasion (step 701) of the indication of not using adjustment part 34 is arranged, is also carried out same processing.Do not detect bankbook 6 at cross sensor 7, the occasion that does not perhaps have the starting indication of adjustment part 34, by 18 energisings (step 702) of the electromagnet shown in Fig. 3,, rotate towards arrow 22 directions so remove lever 9 because the steel wire rope shown in Fig. 3 10 is stretched along arrow 23 directions.Rotate by removing lever 9, the D shape cutting part 9a that removes lever 9 rotates too, becomes the state of lifting at the edges and corners axle 12 of D shape cut surface.Thereby, because axle 12 is boosted by the top towards arrow 21, be installed in being boosted too on the axle 12 by pressure roller 11.By this action, aforementioned clamping by

pressure roller

11 and 13 pairs of bankbooks 6 of driven roller is disengaged.

Under the state that is lifted by pressure roller 11, motor 20 1 drives (step 703), and this power just is delivered to

shift roller

1,2 via gear train 37, and

shift roller

1,2 clockwise rotates.At this moment, detect bankbook 6 (step 704) by cross sensor 7, the left end that bankbook 6 is shown shifts near basic rack 4.

Next, by being installed near the position sensor 21 the

shift roller

1,2, detect the skimming over of jut (step 705) of these

shift roller

1,2, the control circuit of hereinafter addressing 27 confirms that the rotation of each roller finishes.Thereby cross sensor 7 detects bankbook 6 and

shift roller

1,2 respectively with position sensor 21, and the notified control circuit 27 of this information whereby makes motor 21 stop (step 706) according to the indication from control circuit 27.And then the electromagnet 18 shown in Fig. 3 becomes outage (step 707).The state of this step 707 is that bankbook shifts near basic rack 4, presses the state that bankbook 6 in

pressure roller

11 and 13 clampings of A driven roller.

In addition, as shown in Figure 8, change the actuating speed of motor 20, adjust the medium displacement force whereby, can shift near to basic rack effectively according to the rigidity of the medium that inserted.Occasion at for example bankbook (A among the figure), by being become, speed applies displacement force at a high speed powerfully, occasion at for example small-sized subpoena (B among the figure), by make speed become medium come displacement force is set as middle-grade, in the occasion of for example large-scale bill (C among the figure), make the elastomer bending of

shift roller

1,2 suppress displacement force by making speed become low speed.The appointment of the actuating speed of this motor 20 also can be made from unillustrated input mechanism (for example keyboard, touch pad etc.) input and be specified.

And, as shown in Figure 8,, can realize that the medium that use for reality are more suitably to the action that shifts near of basic rack 4 if, can carry out the speed that is suitable for handling medium most selectively in advance the actuating speed condition formization of motor 20.Also can constitute the unillustrated storage part that in advance this form is stored in the control circuit 27, make it and import and the corresponding actuating speed of determining motor 20 of speed of appointment with input mechanism according to above-mentioned.

If the adjustment of bankbook finishes, then bankbook 6 is transported to the print position of printer 14, after printing, transports motor 31 opposite direction when inserting with bankbook 6 and drives, and bankbook 6 is transported and is discharged from by the direction towards the insertion mouth 36 of Fig. 2 whereby.

Fig. 6 is the control system block diagram of the bankbook processing device of Fig. 1.Control circuit (for example CPU) 27 is accepted from cross sensor 7, front sensor 8, is had or not the detection separately of sensor 26 and position sensor 21 to export, output and their corresponding control indications.That is to say, have or not sensor 26 1 to detect bankbook 6, control circuit 27 transports motor drive circuit 28 drivings with regard to control and transports motor 31.Do not detect the occasion of bankbook at cross sensor 7, the chucking power that control circuit 27 control solenoid driver circuits 30 have come motor magnet 18 releasing bankbooks 6 is controlled motor drive circuit 29 simultaneously and is come starting motor 20.
