Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent either right or left one of bills from being delivered before the other by providing a height arranging member for pressing the bills to the baseplate of a stacker part at the time of inserting the bills into the stacker part so as to arrange the height of the bills from the stacker part baseplate. CONSTITUTION:At the time of inserting bills 12 into a stacker part, the bills 12 are pressed to the baseplate 9 of the stacker part by a height arranging member 1b to arrange the height of the bills 12 from the stacker part baseplate 9. The pressing of the bills 12 to a pusher roller is thereby stabilized, so that either right or left of the bills 12 is prevented from being delivered before the other, and the generation of errors in the inserted state can be reduced.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a deposited banknote alignment mechanism, and more particularly to a method for conveying banknotes deposited from a deposit slot in a customer service section of a cash processing machine.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, in a cash processing machine, when a banknote is set in a deposit slot of a customer service department, the banknote is pressed against a bushing roller by a back-up plate, and the banknote is fed out in the set state by the bushing roller.

In conventional cash processing machines like this, the banknotes set in the deposit slot in the customer service department were fed out as they were, so even if the banknotes were sticking out upwards or were tilted, they would still be fed out. As a result, there is a problem that the pressing of the banknote against the bumper roller becomes unstable, or that either the left or right side of the banknote is fed out first.

This not only causes big mistakes and skews in banknotes, but also causes jams in the conveyance system, rejections during verification, and
This can also cause poor accumulation within the safe and the inability to withdraw money from the safe.

Furthermore, if a deposit status error occurs as described above, the banknotes must be deposited again, which causes discomfort to the customer.

Purpose of the Invention The present invention has been made in order to eliminate the above-mentioned problems of the conventional method, and aims to stabilize the pressing of banknotes against the bumper roller and prevent either the left or right side of the banknote from being fed out first. The present invention aims to provide a deposited banknote alignment mechanism capable of reducing the occurrence of deposit status errors.

Structure of the Invention The deposited banknote alignment mechanism according to the present invention includes a stacking unit bottom plate that temporarily holds banknotes inserted into the stacking unit, and a stacking unit bottom plate that presses the banknotes against the stacking unit bottom plate when inserting the banknotes into the stacking unit, so that the banknotes can be pressed against the stacking unit bottom plate. and a height aligning member for aligning the heights from the bottom plate of the accumulation section.

Example Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view of one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. 1 in the direction of arrows. In these figures, banknote height regulating plates 18 to 1n are mounted on a shaft 2, and a gear 3 is mounted on one end of the shaft 2.

Drive force from a drive motor 7 is transmitted to the gear 3 via a gear 4, a timing belt 5, and a pulley 6. When the gear 3 rotates due to the drive force from the drive motor 7, the shaft 2 rotates to rotate the banknote height regulating plates 1a to 1n in the direction of arrow B.

On the other hand, when depositing banknotes 12, cover 8 and elevator bottom plate 9
The banknotes are set in a stacking section consisting of a back-up plate 10 and a banknote guide 11.

The operation of an embodiment of the present invention will be explained using FIG. 1 and FIG. 2.

First, when the banknotes 12 are set in the stacking section, the drive motor 7 is driven, and the rotation of the drive motor 7 is transmitted to the gear 3 via the gear 4, timing belt 5, and pulley 6, and the shaft 2 Rotate the restriction plates 1a to 1n in the direction of arrow B.

At this time, even if the banknotes 12 are protruding upward or tilted in the stacking section, the banknote height regulating plates 18 to 1n rotate to prevent the banknotes 12 from sticking out or tilting. Banknote height regulation plate 18-1
Since the banknotes 12 are sandwiched and aligned between the banknotes 12 and the elevator bottom plate 9, the banknotes 12 can be placed in an optimal deposit state.

FIG. 3 is a front view of another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line CC in FIG. 3 in the direction of arrows. In these figures, another embodiment of the invention is shown in the elevator bottom plate 9.
The configuration is the same as the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, except that the gear 3 is rotated by a rack 13 that operates in conjunction with the vertical movement of the are given the same reference numerals. Further, the operations of these same parts are also the same.

The rack 13 is integrally attached to the elevator bottom plate 9, and its gear portion meshes with the gear 3.

Therefore, when the elevator bottom plate 9 moves up and down in the direction of the arrow, the rack 13 also moves up and down in the direction of the arrow, so when the gear 3 rotates due to the up and down movement of the rack 13, the shaft 2
rotates to rotate the banknote height regulating plates 1a to 1n in the direction of arrow B.

The operation of another embodiment of the present invention will be explained using FIGS. 3 and 4.

First, when the banknotes 12 are set in the stacking section, the elevator bottom plate 9 moves upward and lifts the banknotes 12 upward.

Due to this upward movement of the elevator bottom plate 9, the rack 13
Since the rack 13 also moves upward, the gear 3 rotates due to the upward movement of the rack 13, and the shaft 2 rotates to rotate the banknote height regulating plates 1a to 1n in the direction of the arrow B.

At this time, even if the banknotes 12 are protruding upward in the stacking section or are tilted, the banknote height regulating plates 1a to 1n are linked to the upward movement of the elevator bottom plate 9.
As the banknotes 12 rotate, protruding or tilted banknotes are sandwiched between the banknote height regulating plates 18 to 1n and the elevator bottom plate 9 and aligned.
can be set to the optimal deposit condition.

In this way, when the banknotes 12 are set in the stacking section, the banknotes 12 are pressed against the elevator bottom plate 9 by the banknote height regulating plates 18 to 1n to equalize the height of the banknotes 12 from the elevator bottom plate 9. This stabilizes the pressing of the banknote 12 against the bushing roller (not shown) and prevents either the left or right side of the banknote from being fed out first.

Therefore, picking mistakes and skewing of the banknotes 12 can be prevented, leading to jams in the conveyance system (not shown), jets due to discrimination, poor accumulation in the safe (not shown), and withdrawals from the safe. Incapacity can be prevented.

In addition, by aligning the heights of the banknotes 12, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of deposit status errors, so there is no need to reset the banknotes 12 in the stacking section due to the occurrence of a deposit status error, which may cause discomfort to customers. There will be no need to give.

Further, the banknote height regulating plates 18 to 1n are rotated as the elevator bottom plate 9 moves upward when the banknotes 12 are set in the stacking section.
By pressing the banknote 12 against the elevator bottom plate 9, the banknote 1
By making the heights from the elevator bottom plate 9 of the two elevators the same, the number of parts can be reduced and the device can be made smaller.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, as described above, when inserting banknotes into the stacking unit, the height alignment member presses the banknotes against the bottom plate of the stacking unit to equalize the heights of the banknotes from the bottom plate of the stacking unit. This has the effect of stabilizing the pressing of the bill against the bushing roller, preventing either the left or right side of the bill from being fed out first, and reducing the occurrence of deposit status errors.
