However, in the conventional device described above, the discharge part 3
It is necessary to synchronize the bill ejection period from 5 and the rotation period of the impeller 36, which requires complicated control means using a pulse motor or the like, making the entire device expensive and complicated. In addition, since the operation is intermittent, there is a problem that a stable integration effect cannot be obtained when high-speed integration is attempted.

In addition, since substantially the entire area of the banknote 40 is to be captured between the blades 37, 37, an extremely large impeller 36 is required, making it impossible to save space.

(c) Purpose of the invention This invention enables stable high-speed stacking, can transport paper sheets in an upright position deep inside the stacking space, allows continuous stacking, and saves space in the entire device. It is an object of the present invention to provide a paper sheet stacking device which is simple in structure and inexpensive.

(d) Structure of the device This device creates a paper sheet accumulation space using a paper sheet holding plate that is tilted upright from one end of the device at an obtuse angle to the bottom plate, and a cover plate that covers the top of the holding plate. A feeding means is provided for feeding paper sheets obliquely upward from the other end of the bottom plate toward the upper inner surface of the holding plate, and a lower end of the paper sheets in the accumulation space is provided on the upper surface of the bottom plate. The paper sheet stacking device is characterized in that it is equipped with a conveyor belt that transports the paper sheets to the inner depths of the stacking space in the set state.

(e) Effects of the invention According to this invention, the above-mentioned feeding means can continuously feed paper sheets into the paper sheet accumulation space having an inclined holding plate from below. It is possible to carry out continuous acquisition of various kinds of data, and as a result, high-speed accumulation can be performed.

In addition, the paper sheets sequentially discharged from the feeding means are accumulated sequentially along the tilted holding plate, and the inclined holding plate prevents the paper sheets from falling toward the feeding side. This has the advantage of being able to be stably integrated.

Moreover, a conveyor belt is installed on the upper surface of the bottom plate to transport the paper sheets to the inner depths of the accumulation space while keeping the lower ends of the paper sheets in the stacking space standing up. Can be transported while standing upright,
This has the effect of allowing continuous accumulation of the paper sheets.

In addition, since there is no need to interpose an impeller or the like between the accumulation space and the discharge section as in the past, the overall space of the device can be saved and the structure can be simplified compared to the conventional device described above. It's easy and cheap.

(F) Embodiment An embodiment of this invention will be described below in detail based on the drawings.

The drawing shows a paper sheet stacking device, and in FIG. 1, 1 is a paper sheet stacking space, and this stacking space 1 is
A bottom plate 2 arranged substantially horizontally, a sheet holding plate 3 tilted upright from the left end of the bottom plate 2 at an obtuse angle with respect to the bottom plate 2, and facing the inner surface of the holding plate 3 with a predetermined space between them. It is surrounded by four members 2, 3, 4, and 5, including a substantially dogleg-shaped side plate 4 and a substantially horizontal cover plate 5 that covers the upper part between the above-mentioned retaining plate 3 and side plate 4.

A repulsion plate 6, which is made of a rubber plate or the like and assists the downward repulsion of the banknote A, is integrally formed on the entire inner surface of the above-mentioned lid plate 5 by an adhesive means or the like.

Further, an opening 7 is formed between the right end of the bottom plate 2 and the lower end of the side plate 4, which communicates the inside and outside of the accumulation space 1, and the feeding means 8 is disposed in the opening 7.

This feeding means 8 is a means for feeding banknotes A obliquely upward from the right end of the bottom plate 2 toward the upper inner surface of the above-mentioned holding plate 3.
It is formed by a pair of feed rollers 10 and 11 which are disposed opposite to each other with a conveyor belt 9 interposed therebetween.

Furthermore, a conveyor belt 9 is disposed on the upper surface of the aforementioned bottom plate 2 for conveying the lower ends of banknotes A in the stacking space 1 from the opening 7 side to the inner depths of the stacking space 1.

This conveyor belt 9 is a belt that conveys the banknotes A in an upright state to the innermost part of the accumulation space 1, and this conveyor belt 9 is an endless belt that has both the function of feeding and the function of conveying the banknotes A. , is stretched between the above-mentioned feed roller 10 and conveyance roller 12.

Furthermore, the above-mentioned pair of feed rollers 10,
A bill ejecting section 17 is provided below the banknote 11 and includes a pair of ejecting rollers 13 and 14 and a pair of opposing belts 15 and 16.

The illustrated embodiment is configured as described above,
The action will be explained below.

The banknotes A received from the banknote leading-out section 17 by the feeding means 8 above are fed diagonally upward at high speed by the feeding means 8.

As shown by the solid line in FIG. 1, the banknotes A fed into the accumulation space 1 by this high-speed feeding are
Its tip hits the upper inner surface of the holding plate 3 and is curved,
After the bill A stands up from the time of feeding, the tip of the bill A collides with the repulsion plate 6 on the inner surface of the cover plate 5 due to inertia in the direction of the arrow, and becomes as shown by the imaginary line α in FIG. 1.

Next, the banknote A bounced off the above-mentioned repulsion plate 6 and falls while maintaining its upright position. When the lower end of the banknote A comes into contact with the conveyor belt 9, as shown by the imaginary line β in FIG. The belt 9 transports the banknotes vertically to the back of the stacking space 1, and forms a guide surface for the banknotes to be fed next. Each time, the same action as described above is repeated, and a large number of banknotes A are sequentially accumulated in the accumulation space 1 as shown in FIG.

Since the above-mentioned feeding means 8 can continuously feed the stacking space 1 having the holding plate 3 tilted upright from below, the banknotes A can be fed continuously from below.
can be captured continuously, and as a result, high-speed integration can be performed.

Further, the banknotes sequentially discharged from the above-mentioned feeding means 8 are sequentially accumulated along the holding plate 3 whose upper end is tilted in a direction away from the feeding means 8,
Because the banknotes A do not fall toward the feeding side due to the inclination of the holding plate 3, the above-mentioned high-speed stacking can be performed stably.

Furthermore, a conveyor belt 9 is disposed on the upper surface of the bottom plate 2, which conveys the lower ends of the banknotes A in the stacking space 1 to the inner depths of the stacking space 1 in an upright state. There is an effect that the banknotes A can be conveyed in an upright state, and the banknotes A can be continuously stacked.

Furthermore, since the above-mentioned high-speed integration is performed with a simple configuration without using any conventional impellers, the space and cost of the entire device can be reduced.

Further, as shown in the embodiment, by using the side plate 4 and the conveyor belt 9, it is possible to increase the amount of banknotes stacked.
