Description

本発明は、通帳等の処理対象媒体に対して各種処理を行う媒体処理装置及び媒体処理方法に関し、特に所定の経路において処理対象媒体が搬送されるものにする。   The present invention relates to a medium processing apparatus and a medium processing method for performing various types of processing on a processing target medium such as a passbook. In particular, the processing target medium is conveyed along a predetermined route.

金融機関の取扱い窓口やＡＴＭ（自動預金支払機）等に設置された媒体処理装置において、通帳等の処理対象媒体に設けられた磁気情報を格納する磁気ストライプに対して読取処理や書込処理を行う媒体処理装置が知られている。この媒体処理装置は、処理対象媒体が挿入され、排出される挿入排出口と、この挿入排出口に連通した所定の経路に沿って処理対象媒体を搬送する搬送手段を備え、この経路に沿って、磁気処理部、印字部、改頁部等の各種処理部が設けられている。   In a media processing device installed at a financial institution's handling window or ATM (Automatic Deposit Payment Machine), etc., read processing and writing processing are performed on magnetic stripes storing magnetic information provided in processing target media such as passbooks A medium processing apparatus for performing is known. The medium processing apparatus includes an insertion / discharge port into which a processing target medium is inserted and discharged, and a transport unit that transports the processing target medium along a predetermined path communicating with the insertion / discharge port. Various processing units such as a magnetic processing unit, a printing unit, and a page break unit are provided.

搬送手段は、搬送経路に沿う搬送路と、この搬送路の幅方向両端部に設けられて処理対象媒体の位置を規制するセットガイド部とを備えて構成されている。操作者がセットガイド部に処理対象媒体の一端部を突き当てることにより位置合わせされた状態で処理対象媒体が挿入されると、処理対象媒体が、吸入され、搬送経路に沿って搬送され、所定の処理が施される。処理終了後、処理対象媒体は、搬送経路を逆方向に搬送されることにより挿入排出口から排出される。このような媒体処理装置では、搬送中に処理対象媒体が少しでもずれると、排出時に、処理対象媒体がセットガイド部に当接し、媒体の変形やジャム発生等が生じる。   The transport means includes a transport path along the transport path, and set guide portions that are provided at both ends in the width direction of the transport path and regulate the position of the processing target medium. When the processing target medium is inserted in an aligned state by abutting one end portion of the processing target medium against the set guide unit, the processing target medium is inhaled and transported along the transport path. Is processed. After the processing is completed, the processing target medium is discharged from the insertion / discharge port by being transported in the reverse direction along the transport path. In such a medium processing apparatus, if the processing target medium is slightly displaced during conveyance, the processing target medium comes into contact with the set guide portion at the time of ejection, and deformation of the medium, occurrence of jam, or the like occurs.

これに鑑みて、セットガイド部を、その上面が傾斜するスロープ状に構成し、排出の際に処理対象媒体がこのスロープ状のガイド部に乗り上げることにより、排出路を確保する技術が知られている。（例えば、特許文献１参照）。また、セットガイド部が回動可能に構成され、処理対象媒体が排出方向に送られる際にセットガイド部を押圧することにより、セットガイド部が回動するとともに処理対象媒体の上に乗り上げることにより、処理対象媒体の排出経路を確保する技術が知られている。
特開２００１−１０１４８２号公報 特開平２−２０４２５５号公報 In view of this, a technique is known in which the set guide portion is configured in a slope shape whose upper surface is inclined, and the medium to be processed rides on the slope-shaped guide portion at the time of discharge to secure a discharge path. Yes. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1). In addition, the set guide portion is configured to be rotatable, and when the processing target medium is sent in the ejection direction, the set guide portion is rotated, and the set guide portion rotates and rides on the processing target medium. A technique for securing a discharge route for a medium to be processed is known.

ＣＰＵ２０の構成について図２を参照して説明する。ＣＰＵ２０は、バスライン３１を介して各部の間でデータのやり取りを制御するとともに、各部を総括的に制御する機能を有する。ＣＰＵ２０には、ＲＯＭ（リード・オンリー・メモリ）２６、ＲＡＭ（ランダム・アクセス・メモリ）２７、搬送手段１２を制御する搬送制御部３２、光学式センサ１３を制御するセンサ制御回路３３、磁気処理部１５を制御する磁気制御部３５、ページめくり機構１６を制御するめくり制御回路３６、印字部１７を制御する印字制御回路３７、表示部１８を制御する表示制御部３８、通信部１９を制御する通信制御回路３９、セットガイド部２５を制御するガイド制御部４０等が接続されている。   The configuration of the CPU 20 will be described with reference to FIG.

In the RAM 27, for example, position information of the processing target medium 10 read by the optical sensor 13 is temporarily stored.

ガイド制御部４０においては、光学式センサ１３で検出した位置情報等に基づき、セットガイド部２５の状態を第１状態と第２状態との間で切り替えるように制御する機能を有する。   The guide control unit 40 has a function of controlling the state of the set guide unit 25 to be switched between the first state and the second state based on position information detected by the optical sensor 13 or the like.

次に、本実施形態にかかる媒体処理装置１のＣＰＵ２０における制御工程について図７のフロー図を参照して説明する。
図３及び図４に示す吸入（搬入）時において、ガイド制御部４０により、セットガイド部２５は、第１状態に設定され、ここでは右側に位置し、通過領域Ｓ内に配置されている。この状態でステップ１１（ＳＴ１）において、ユーザによって処理対象媒体１０が挿入排出口１１にセットされる。ここでは、処理対象媒体１０の左側端部を挿入排出口１１近傍のセットガイド部２５の右側面２５ａに突き当てた状態で挿入される。処理対象媒体１０が挿入排出口１１に挿入されると、搬送制御部３２の制御に応じて搬送ローラ２２，２２が閉じて処理対象媒体１０を挟んだ状態で回転駆動される（ＳＴ２）。 Next, a control process in the CPU 20 of the medium processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to a flowchart of FIG.
At the time of inhalation (carrying in) shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the set control unit 25 is set to the first state by the guide control unit 40, and is positioned on the right side and disposed in the passage region S here. In step 11 (ST1) in this state, the processing target medium 10 is set in the insertion / ejection port 11 by the user. Here, the processing target medium 10 is inserted in a state where the left end of the processing target medium 10 abuts against the right side surface 25 a of the set guide portion 25 in the vicinity of the insertion / discharge port 11. When the processing target medium 10 is inserted into the insertion / ejection port 11, the transport rollers 22 and 22 are closed under the control of the transport control unit 32, and are driven to rotate with the processing target medium 10 being sandwiched (ST 2).

この回転駆動により処理対象媒体１０が装置内部へ吸入され（ＳＴ３）、搬送路２１上において、所定の搬送経路に沿って搬送される。このとき、処理対象媒体１０は搬送路２１の左端に位置した状態で搬送される。   By this rotational drive, the processing target medium 10 is sucked into the apparatus (ST3), and is transported on the transport path 21 along a predetermined transport path. At this time, the processing target medium 10 is transported while being positioned at the left end of the transport path 21.

処理対象媒体１０の吸入後、光学式センサ１３により例えば処理対象媒体１０が所定位置を通過したことが検知されたら、ガイド制御部４０により、セットガイド部２５を退避させ、第２状態とする（ＳＴ４）。すなわち図５及び図６に示すように、セットガイド部２５が左側に移動し、第２状態となり通過領域Ｓから退避する。   After the inhalation of the processing target medium 10, for example, when the optical sensor 13 detects that the processing target medium 10 has passed a predetermined position, the guide control unit 40 retracts the set guide unit 25 to enter the second state ( ST4). That is, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the set guide portion 25 moves to the left side, enters the second state, and retreats from the passage area S.

ついで、例えば予め入力部１４に入力された処理業務種やオペレータの操作により決定されている情報に基づき、所定の処理が行われる（ＳＴ５）。ここでは、例えば、冊子状の処理対象媒体１０に対して、磁気処理部１５による所定の読み出し、書き込み等の磁気処理、頁捲り処理、印字処理等が行われる。   Next, predetermined processing is performed based on, for example, the type of processing business input in advance to the input unit 14 and information determined by the operator's operation (ST5). Here, for example, the magnetic processing unit 15 performs predetermined magnetic processing such as reading and writing, page turning processing, and printing processing on the book-like processing target medium 10.

印字処理及び磁気処理の終了後、ＳＴ６において、搬送手段１２を上記第１方向としての搬送方向Ａと逆方向に搬送させて搬出させることで、処理対象媒体１０を挿入排出口１１へ送り、挿入排出口１１から排出させる。このとき、例えば処理中または処理の前後の搬送において処理対象媒体が傾斜することがあっても、セットガイド部２５が退避しているため、通過領域に障害物が無く、処理対象媒体１０はスムーズに搬出される。   After completion of the printing process and the magnetic process, in ST6, the transport unit 12 is transported in the direction opposite to the transport direction A as the first direction to be transported and the processing target medium 10 is sent to the insertion / ejection port 11 and inserted. It is discharged from the discharge port 11. At this time, for example, even if the processing target medium may be inclined during the processing or before and after the processing, the set guide unit 25 is retracted, so that there is no obstacle in the passing area, and the processing target medium 10 is smooth. It is carried out to.

搬出処理の後、ＳＴ７において、光学式センサ１３により、搬送路２１あるいは挿入排出口１１に処理対象媒体１０が残っているか否かが検出される。ここで、処理対象媒体１０が搬送路２１または挿入排出口１１に無い場合、すなわち、検出されなかった場合には、搬出動作が完了したとして、ガイド制御部４０により、再度セットガイド部２５が第１状態とされる（ＳＴ８）。すなわちセットガイド部２５は右側に移動して通過領域Ｓ内に配置され、次回の処理対象媒体のセットの際にその位置を規制することができる状態となる。   After the carry-out process, in ST7, the optical sensor 13 detects whether or not the processing target medium 10 remains in the transport path 21 or the insertion / discharge port 11. Here, when the processing target medium 10 is not in the transport path 21 or the insertion / discharge port 11, that is, when it is not detected, it is determined that the carry-out operation has been completed, and the guide control unit 40 again sets the set guide unit 25 to the first position. 1 state is set (ST8). That is, the set guide unit 25 moves to the right side and is disposed in the passing area S, and the position of the set guide unit 25 can be regulated when the processing target medium is set next time.

一方、ＳＴ７において、処理対象媒体１０が搬送路２１に存在した場合には、表示制御部３８により、処理対象媒体１０を抜き取る必要がある旨の警告メッセージなどが表示部１８に表示され、一定の時間をおいて、ＳＴ７に戻る。   On the other hand, in ST7, when the processing target medium 10 exists in the transport path 21, the display control unit 38 displays a warning message or the like indicating that the processing target medium 10 needs to be extracted on the display unit 18, and a certain amount. After a while, the process returns to ST7.

本実施形態にかかる媒体処理装置１によれば次の効果が得られる。すなわち、吸入時にはセットガイド部２５が通過領域内の所定位置に配置されて処理対象媒体１０の位置を規制する機能を有しつつ、搬出時に障害となることを防止することができる。すなわち、搬出時にはセットガイド部２５が通過領域から退避するため、処理対象媒体１０がセットガイド部２５に接触することを防ぎ、搬出の際の抵抗を除去することができる。   According to the medium processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. That is, the set guide portion 25 is disposed at a predetermined position in the passage area at the time of inhalation and has a function of regulating the position of the processing target medium 10, while preventing an obstacle at the time of unloading. That is, since the set guide portion 25 is retracted from the passage area at the time of carry-out, it is possible to prevent the processing target medium 10 from coming into contact with the set guide portion 25 and to remove resistance at the time of carry-out.

なお、本発明は、上記各実施形態に限られるものではない。例えば上記実施形態では搬送路２１の幅方向に移動可能なセットガイド部２５を例示したが、図８に示すように、横臥、起立可能なセットガイド部４５を用いてもよい。この場合、処理対象媒体１０のセット時には図８にて実線で示す起立状態が第１状態となり、この第１状態において処理対象媒体の位置を規制する。また、処理対象媒体１０の搬出時には、図８にて破線で示す横臥状態が第２状態となり、この第２状態では、処理対象媒体１０の搬送に影響を与えないように通過領域から退避している。さらに、図９に示すように上下方向に移動可能なセットガイド部５５を用いてもよい。この場合、処理対象媒体１０のセット時には、図９にて実線で示すように上方に位置する際に第１状態となり通過領域内に配置されることにより、処理対象媒体１０の位置を規制する。また処理対象媒体１０の搬出時には、図９に破線で示すように下方に位置し、その上端部が搬送路と同じ高さあるいは搬送路よりも低い位置に配置される第２状態となり、処理対象媒体１０の搬送に影響を与えないように通過領域から退避する。   The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the set guide portion 25 that is movable in the width direction of the conveyance path 21 is illustrated. However, as shown in FIG. In this case, when the processing target medium 10 is set, the standing state indicated by the solid line in FIG. 8 is the first state, and the position of the processing target medium is regulated in this first state. Further, when the processing target medium 10 is carried out, the recumbent state indicated by a broken line in FIG. 8 becomes the second state, and in this second state, the processing target medium 10 is retreated from the passage area so as not to affect the transport of the processing target medium 10. Yes. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 9, a set guide portion 55 that is movable in the vertical direction may be used. In this case, when the processing target medium 10 is set, the position of the processing target medium 10 is restricted by being in the first state when the processing target medium 10 is positioned upward as shown by the solid line in FIG. Further, when the processing target medium 10 is carried out, it is in the second state in which the processing target medium 10 is positioned below as shown by a broken line in FIG. 9 and the upper end thereof is disposed at the same height as the transport path or at a position lower than the transport path. Retreat from the passage area so as not to affect the conveyance of the medium 10.

また、警告として表示部１８にメッセージを表示する場合について説明したがこれに限らずブザーやランプ点灯などにより警告をしてもよい。   Moreover, although the case where a message is displayed on the display unit 18 as a warning has been described, the present invention is not limited to this, and a warning may be given by a buzzer, lamp lighting, or the like.
