Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Technical field This invention relates to a banknote dispensing device for dispensing banknotes and the like handled in banking operations.

(b) Background of the invention ATMs, CDs, etc. use a feeding device that feeds out banknotes one by one after they have been inserted all at once. However, since the conditions in which the banknotes are inserted are not always good, the banknotes are often fed out skewed (hereinafter referred to as skewed) without being aligned, resulting in banknotes jamming inside the device or being fed out. This has caused problems such as errors in species identification.

(c) Purpose of the invention The object of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide a banknote dispensing device capable of dispensing banknotes without causing skew regardless of the inserted state of the banknotes.

(d) Structure of the invention This invention can be summarized as follows: a feeding roller whose circumference is partly made of an elastic body and which feeds out banknotes one by one by rotation; An opposing roller that does not rotate in the feeding direction, and is formed to have the same diameter as the feeding roller, and a part of the circumference is made of an elastic body, and rotates at the same rotation speed as the feeding roller, so that the opposing roller side and an auxiliary feed roller that feeds out the banknotes, the elastic body of the auxiliary feed roller being located further in the traveling direction of the banknotes than the position of the elastic body of the feeding roller.

(e) Embodiment FIG. 1 is a structural side view of a banknote feeding device which is an embodiment of this invention.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a feeding roller having an elastic body 2 such as rubber on a part of its circumference, and rotates in the feeding direction indicated by the arrow in the figure. Reference numeral 3 denotes an opposing roller that is arranged opposite to the feeding roller 1 and rotates in a direction opposite to the feeding direction of the feeding roller 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the feeding roller 1 and the opposing roller 3 are arranged in two sets at the paper feeding opening of the banknote storage section 6, and each has a staggered structure in which divided portions of the outer circumferential portion of the rollers are arranged alternately. ing. An auxiliary feed roller 4 is disposed at the bottom of the banknote storage section 6, and the auxiliary feed roller 4 has the same diameter as the feed roller 1 and has an elastic body such as rubber on a part of its circumference. The auxiliary feed roller 4 and the feed roller 1 are connected via a transmission belt 11, and are rotated at the same rotation speed by a drive motor 10. Elastic body 5 of auxiliary feed roller 4
is arranged in the direction in which the banknote travels relative to the elastic body 2 of the feeding roller 1. 8 and 9 are feeding rollers 1
This is a conveyance roller that conveys the banknotes fed out in a predetermined conveyance direction.

In the above configuration, when the drive motor 10 is operated, the elastic body 5 is disposed in the traveling direction of the banknotes relative to the elastic body 2. It comes into contact with the lowest banknote and sends that banknote out to the feeding roller 1 side. Then, the bill comes into contact with the opposing roller 3 and stops before coming into contact with the elastic body 2. At this time, the inclination of the banknotes is corrected and the leading edges of the banknotes are aligned. After this correction, the elastic body 2 of the feeding roller 1 rotates to the lower side of the banknote, and the banknote is fed to the transport rollers 8 and 9 side. Due to the feeding action of the elastic body 5 described above, banknotes can be fed out stably without causing skew.

(f) Effect of the invention As described above, according to this invention, the auxiliary feed roller is provided with an elastic body and the position of the elastic body is located in the direction of movement of the banknotes compared to the position of the elastic body of the feeding roller. The bills are first fed by an auxiliary feed roller, and after the leading edge of the bill is stopped by an opposing roller, it is fed by a payout roller. Therefore, when the leading edge of the banknotes is stopped by the opposing roller, the skew of the banknotes is corrected, and thereafter the banknotes aligned in the forward direction are fed out by the feeding roller.
As a result, banknotes can be fed out stably without skew.
