stop. By stopping the drive motor 33, the feeding roller 32 stops feeding out the banknotes from the banknote storage section 31.

The banknotes fed out by the payout roller 33 are subjected to denomination discrimination and the like through the banknote conveyance path 34, and if normal, are conveyed to the payout port.

This dispensing operation is repeated a necessary number of times to dispense the instructed withdrawal amount, and when the instructed amount of banknotes is dispensed, the device ends the dispensing operation.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional technology, a feed-out roller is provided for each banknote storage section in order to feed out the banknotes stored in the banknote storage section, and the drive motor that drives this feed-out roller is also connected to the feed-out roller, that is, the banknote storage section. Only the number of copies is required.

This increases the size of the entire device and increases costs.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks and provides an apparatus that can be downsized and reduced in cost.

[Means to try to solve the problem]

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the principle of the present invention.

A plurality of paper leaf storage sections 1 are provided to store paper sheets, a plurality of feeding mechanisms 2 are provided in each of the paper leaf storage sections 1 and feed paper sheets from the paper sheet storage sections 1, and the feeding mechanism is provided. 2, a drive section 3 that is provided in common with the above-mentioned sheet feeding mechanism 2 and drives the feeding mechanism 2, and a moving mechanism 4 that moves the paper sheets in the sheet storage section 1 to a position where the feeding mechanism 2 can feed the sheets and a position where the feeding mechanism 2 cannot feed the sheets. , and a movement control section 5 which instructs the movement mechanism 4 to move in response to a given feeding instruction.

[Effect]

In the present invention, a driving section 3 is provided in common for a plurality of feeding mechanisms 2 that feed paper sheets from each paper sheet storage section 1, and the driving section 3 is intermittently rotated in response to a feeding start instruction. The moving mechanism 4 drives the bill to a position where it can be fed out and a position where it cannot be fed out, thereby determining the paper sheet storage section 1 to be fed out and feeding out the paper sheet.

From this, it is sufficient to provide only one drive section 3 for driving the dispensing mechanism 2 in common to a plurality of dispensing mechanisms 2, and there is no need to provide as many drive sections as the number of paper sheet storage sections 1, which reduces the size of the device. Cost reduction can be achieved.

[Example] As an example, a circulating automatic teller machine will be described as an example.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a banknote storage unit, which stores banknotes of each denomination.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a feeding roller, which feeds out banknotes one by one from the banknote storage section 11.

13 is a drive motor that drives the feeding roller 12.

Reference numeral I4 denotes a moving mechanism that moves banknotes within the banknote storage section 11 by moving both upper and lower guides, which will be described later.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a movement control section, which controls movement of the movement mechanism 14.

Reference numeral 16 denotes an upper guide, which is provided in each banknote storage section ll and is used to feed out rollers 12 when dispensing banknotes in the banknote storage section 11.
This is to press down the banknotes from above in order to press them with appropriate pressure.

Reference numeral 17 denotes a lower guide, which is provided in each banknote storage section 11 and is used to guide the banknotes in the banknote storage section ll to the feeding roller 12 when dispensing money.
In order to press the banknotes with appropriate pressure, the banknotes are lifted from below when there are too many banknotes, and the banknotes are moved vertically in order to create an appropriate gap in the banknote storage section 11 so that the banknotes are not scattered when depositing. be.

Reference numeral 18 denotes a connecting portion, which transmits the drive of the drive motor 13 to each delivery roller 12.

Reference numeral 19 denotes a dispensing conveyance path, which conveys banknotes fed out from the dispensing roller 12 to a dispensing port (not shown).

Reference numeral 20 denotes a deposit transport path, which transports banknotes deposited into a deposit slot (not shown) to the banknote storage section 11.

Reference numeral 21 denotes a deposit port, which is used to take banknotes conveyed through the deposit conveyance path 20 into the banknote storage section 11.

The operation is explained above.

This device is equipped with an external display section and a keyboard (not shown) for guidance with the operator (customer), and the operator can use the keyboard to obtain information necessary for the transaction according to the messages displayed on the display section. Enter. The above device operates according to information input manually.

That is, when the operator makes a deposit, a message is displayed on the display section to prompt the operator to input an instruction to start depositing.

In response to the message, the operator inputs an instruction to make a deposit using the keyboard.

Next, the customer is asked to insert the bankbook or cash card necessary for depositing money.

When a passbook or cash card is inserted, the device instructs the operator to insert the banknotes he or she wishes to deposit on the display section.

Following the instructions, the operator inserts the banknotes to be deposited into a deposit slot (not shown), and when the banknotes are inserted into the deposit slot, the device starts taking in the banknotes into the device.

The banknotes taken in are checked for authenticity, denomination, etc., and banknotes with problems such as counterfeit banknotes are returned to the operator.

If there is no problem with the bill, the operator is asked to check whether the amount of money that is to be taken into the verified fruiting device matches the amount of the bill that the operator has inserted.

If the amounts match, the bankbook or cash card is ejected and the transaction is completed.

Further, if the above-mentioned failure is confirmed, the inserted banknotes are taken into the banknote storage section 11 by the deposit roller 21 via the deposit conveyance path 20.

In this case, the upper guide 16 in the banknote storage section 11 rises to the deposit position, and the lower guide 17 moves in accordance with the amount of banknotes in the banknote storage section 11, so that the gap between the upper guide 11 and the uppermost banknote is increased. Make sure the spacing is appropriate.

In other words, if this interval is too large, the distance over which the banknotes taken in by the deposit roller 21 fall will become long, and the banknotes in the banknote storage section 11 will be scattered.

On the other hand, if it is too narrow, banknotes will not be able to fit in, leading to jams.

When all the banknotes are stored in the banknote storage section 11, the deposit operation ends.

Next, the operator first inputs a withdrawal instruction from the keyboard in order to cause the device to perform a withdrawal operation.

In response, the device instructs the operator to insert a cash card or the like through the display section.

When the operator inserts the cash card, a message is displayed on the display section prompting the operator to input information necessary for the transaction, such as the password and withdrawal amount.

The operator inputs the necessary information from the keyboard according to the display.

After inputting the necessary information, the device queries the input password, etc., and further determines the number of coins to be withdrawn for each denomination according to the input withdrawal amount.

By instructing the movement control section 15 about the number of bills to be withdrawn, the movement control section 15 selects the corresponding banknote storage section 11 and operates the corresponding movement mechanism 14.

When the movement mechanism 14 operates according to an instruction from the movement control section 15, the lower guide 17 moves to a position where money can be withdrawn.

Further, by driving the drive motor 13, the feeding rollers 12 corresponding to each banknote storage section 11 start rotating.

Then, the lowest banknote comes into contact with the payout roller 12, and due to the friction between the payout roller 12 and the banknote, the banknotes are fed out one by one.

The lower guide 17 stops at a position that is neither too low nor too high so that the lowest bill comes into contact with the feed roller 12 with an appropriate pressing force.

In other words, there are many bills in the bill storage section 11 and the feeding roller 1
When the weight applied to the banknote 2 is large, the banknote is moved in a direction that pushes the banknote up a little, and when it is small, the banknote is moved slightly downward so that the weight of the banknote loaded in the banknote storage part 11 is applied to the payout roller 12.

Furthermore, at that time, the movement control section 15 also moves the upper guide 16, so that if there are many bills in the bill storage section 11 and too much weight is applied to the lowest bill, the upper guide 16 does not come into contact with the bills. Move the upper guide 16 to the position, and
When the number of banknotes is small and the weight applied to the lowest banknote is insufficient, the upper guide 16 is controlled to move in the direction of pushing down the stacked banknotes.

The banknotes fed out by the feeding roller 12 are conveyed to a payout port via a payout conveyance path 19.

When dispensing another denomination, the movement control unit 15 raises the lower guide 17 of the bill storage section 11, which stores the bill corresponding to the denomination dispensed earlier, to a position where dispensing is impossible, and the dispensing roller 12 to a position where it cannot be fed out.

The lower guide 17 storing the denomination to be dispensed is lowered to a contact position with the payout roller 12.

By repeating this operation for the determined number of denominations for each denomination determined within the device, the specified withdrawal amount is withdrawn.

When the designated amount of banknotes has been conveyed from the banknote storage section 11 to the payout port, the drive motor 13 is stopped, thereby causing the plurality of payout rollers 12 provided corresponding to each banknote storage section 11 to rotate. will stop all at once, and withdrawal operations will be stopped.

At this time, if the lower guide 17 in the banknote storage section 11 is moved to a position where banknotes cannot be fed out, there is no need to worry about accidentally feeding out the banknotes at the start of the next transaction.
