Description

Description: “Industrial application field” The present invention relates to a banknote stacking and storing / returning device that stacks taken-in banknotes and conveys them to a storage unit or a return port in a stacking state.

"Prior Art" Conventionally, as seen in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 58-114292, banknotes are taken one by one and counted, and are temporarily held in a temporary holding unit, and based on a command unit that is separately instructed and input. There is known a banknote depositing device that stores a temporarily reserved banknote in a storage section or returns the banknote to a return port.

This is a normal rotation (or reverse rotation) of the counted deposit banknotes at a high speed to be conveyed at the same time, and a reverse rotation (or normal rotation) at a low speed at the time of storage to store the banknote bundle of the temporary storage section. The banknote transporting means for transporting the banknotes to the return port at a low speed at the time of return, and transporting the banknote bundle in the temporary holding section to the return port, and holding the banknotes piled up in the temporary holding section and counting the predetermined number of sheets. Every time it is done, it retreats in the direction away from the bill conveying means,
A banknote pressing unit for constantly pressing the banknote stacking unit by advancing in a direction approaching the banknote transferring unit at the time of storage or return is provided, and the banknote pressing unit stacks the banknote stacking unit. The bill transport means is pressed against the bill transport means so that the bill transport means is swingably separated from the transport passage side when stored or returned by the bill transport means.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 58-114292, there is a problem that the device becomes large because the banknotes are accumulated above the device. As a solution to this problem, it is conceivable to install a stacking device in the vicinity of the banknote storage safe to achieve downsizing, but in the case of the above banknote stacking device, the bottom end of the banknotes is supported and the banknotes are stacked downwards. When storing it in the banknote storage safe, it was necessary to provide a conveyor belt mechanism for holding and conveying banknotes at the bottom, so that a great effect was not obtained.

The present invention makes it possible to collect and store banknotes without using a conveyor belt mechanism that is conventionally provided at the bottom of the apparatus, thereby simplifying the mechanism and reducing the size of the banknote itself. The purpose is to provide a storage and return device.

"Means for Solving the Problem" The present invention has the following configuration in order to achieve the above object. That is, with respect to the fixed pool roller, within the range of the banknote stacking position provided facing the fixed pool roller and separated from the fixed pool roller, and the banknote storing and returning position close to the fixed pool roller, A movable pool roller provided so as to be close to and away from each other, a bill holding plate that is urged toward the movable pool roller by an urging member and is provided between the two pool rollers so as to be close to and away from the movable pool roller, and A moving mechanism connected to the moving pool roller, and a driving force from a high-speed rotation driving source is transmitted to the moving pool roller at the banknote stacking position of the moving pool roller, and both pools are set at the banknote storage return position of the moving pool roller. A banknote stacking and storing and returning device comprising a rotary drive transmission mechanism for transmitting a driving force from a low-speed rotary drive source to the roller, and the fixing plate. A frame body having an opening located below the roller roller and the moving pool roller, a standing plate standing upright on one side of the opening below the opening, and capable of approaching and separating so as to face the standing plate. A pressing plate provided, a banknote pressing member provided in the vicinity of the opening in the frame body so as to be capable of moving closer to and away from the pressing plate in parallel and movable up and down, and at least below the banknote pressing member. A part of the pressing plate and a banknote locking plate movably and vertically movable to the opposite side, and the banknote pressing member and the banknote locking plate respectively connected to the banknote pressing member and the banknote locking plate. And a shutter that is attached to the opening so as to be openable and closable and that interlocks with the banknote pressing member and the banknote locking plate, and the lower end of the banknotes stacked by the banknote stacking and returning device is the shutter. It has a configuration consisting of a bill storage devices that support me.

"Operation" Banknotes that have undergone deposit processing (discrimination, counting, etc.) are accumulated between the moving pool roller that rotates at high speed and the bill holding plate via the rotation drive transmission mechanism, and when the deposit processing ends, the moving pool roller will move to the fixed pool. It moves to the roller side, and holds the deposited banknote with the fixed pool roller. During this time, the lower end of the bill is supported by a shutter that closes the opening of the bill storage device.

If the deposit is approved, the banknotes stored between the standing plate and the pressing plate are moved to the pressing plate side by the banknote pressing member and the banknote locking plate to form a receiving space under the opening. . At this time, the shutter closing the opening also moves in conjunction with the bill pressing member and the bill locking plate to open the opening. After that, the movable pool roller and the fixed pool roller rotate at a low speed via the rotation drive transmission mechanism, and convey the deposited banknote toward the receiving space in the banknote storage device. When the bill is sent into the receiving space, the bill pressing member and the bill locking plate move to the standing plate side.
The sent bills are held between the standing plate and the pressing plate together with the stored bills up to the previous time. Further, the shutter also moves in association with the bill pressing member and the bill locking plate to close the opening again.

When the processing of the deposited banknote is completed, the moving pool roller separates from the fixed pool roller and stands by in preparation for the next deposit processing. At this time, the bill pressing plate also moves together with the moving pool roller.

Next, the operation of the banknote stacking and storing and returning device of this embodiment will be described.

When banknotes are stacked to be stored in the banknote storage unit 110, a position where the moving pool rollers 13a and 13b are farthest from the fixed pool rollers 5a and 5b (a position shown in FIG. 1) is a banknote stacking position (hereinafter, simply (Referred to as a stacking position), the movable pool rollers 13a, 13b are fixed pool rollers 5a,
The position where the banknote is held between the fixed pool rollers 5a and 5b by moving to the 5b side is referred to as a banknote storage return position (hereinafter simply referred to as a storage return position).

At the stacking position, the moving pool rollers 13a and 13b are driven at the same high speed as the transport unit, and at the storage / return position, they are driven at a low speed.

The apparatus of the present embodiment is provided with a stacking position in which the slide shutter 119 of the banknote storage unit 110 of FIG. 1 is closed (FIG. 10 (b)).
(See), the transport roller 102, the contact rollers 99a and 99b, and the impeller 104 rotate at high speed. At this time, the transmission rollers 97a and 97b shown in FIG. 10 contact the contact rollers 99a and 99b and rotate at high speed in the direction of arrow A in the figure together with the shaft 12a.

The drive shaft 84 includes pulleys 83a and 83b, a transmission belt 8
5, shaft 1 via gears 82d, 82c, 82b, 82a
Although the 2b is connected, the one-way clutch of the moving pool roller 13b and the pulleys 19 and 20 attached to the shaft 12b is in the non-rotation transmission state at the stacking position, and thus is in the idling state. Therefore, at this stacking position, the moving pool rollers 13a and 13b rotate at a high speed in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. 1 regardless of the gear train.

Further, in this stacking position, the solenoid 95 is in a non-operating state, and therefore the protrusion 94a of the lock lever 94 is fitted into the cutout portion 87a of the shaft 87 and the upper portion of the banknote temporary storage portion 92 is closed by the return cover 86. In this state, the return cover 86 is locked at the position shown in FIG.

Therefore, the banknotes that have undergone deposit processing (discrimination, measurement, etc.) are transferred onto the transfer guide plate 103 along the transfer guide plate 103 to the transfer roller 102 side, and the blades (not shown) of the impeller 104 and the transfer roller 102. And the banknote holding plate 43 are stacked between the movable pool rollers 13a and 13b.

At the time of this accumulation, the moving pool rollers 13a, 13b
The bill fed between the bill holding plate 43 and the bill holding plate 43 is hit at its rear end by the blade of the impeller 104 and largely deflected toward the fixed pool rollers 5a, 5b, and the leading end of the succeeding bill is moved by the moving pool rollers 13a, 13b. Enter the 13b side smoothly.

When the banknotes are sequentially fed between the moving pool rollers 13a and 13b and the banknote pressing plate 43, the banknotes are transferred to the spring 50.
The paper pressing plate 43 is fixed to the pool roller 5a against the force of a,
The banknote is gradually moved to the 5b side, and the banknote is held between the banknote pressing plate 43 and the moving pool rollers 13a, 13b (see FIG. 22 (a)).

Thereafter, the cam 62 is rotated to rotate the shaft 66 in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. This causes the link 64 to rotate in the clockwise direction in the figure, and the force of the spring 40 causes the movable pool rollers 13a and 13b to move forward together with the movable side plates 9a and 9b to the storage return position.

Since the transmission rollers 97a and 97b and the contact rollers 99a and 99b are separated from each other at the storage return position, the high speed rotation of the contact rollers is not transmitted to the moving pool rollers 13a and 13b.

As a result of the deposit process (discrimination, counting) at the time of transporting the bill, if the deposit is not approved, the return cover 86 is opened and the deposit bill to the apparatus of the present embodiment is rejected at this storage and return position. That is, only when the return command is issued, the solenoid 9
5 is operated, and the protrusion 94a of the lock lever 94 is moved to the shaft 87.
The return cover 86 is opened by the force of the spring 89 while being separated from the notch portion 87a. In this case, the front of the banknote temporary storage section 92 is open.

After that, the drive motor 84 is rotated in the reverse direction. Then, the movable pool rollers 13a and 13b rotate clockwise in FIG. 1, and the fixed pool rollers 5a and 5b rotate counterclockwise, respectively, so that between the fixed pool rollers 5a and 5b and the movable pool rollers 13a and 13b. Banknotes rise from the top and their tops are ejected out of the machine. At this time,
The lower part of the bill is held between the fixed pool rollers 5a and 5b and the movable pool rollers 13a and 13b, and waits for the operator to remove it (see FIG. 22 (b)).

In the deposit process, if the deposit is approved, the gear 1
It drives a drive motor connected to the shaft of 46. Then,
The gear 145 in the bill storage unit 110 rotates, and the pulley 1
4a, 144b, slide side plates 120a, 120b, and the like, the moving rod 112 and the moving claws 117a, 117b move to the rear of the frame 111, and the moving rod 112 and the moving claw 117a,
117b and the movable holding plate 11 for the bills stored up to the previous time.
Then, the receiving space is formed below the slide shutter 119 in the closed state by moving it to the 8 side. At this time, the slide shutter 119 closing the opening 110a of the bill storage unit opens the opening 110a in conjunction with the moving rod 112 and the moving claws 117a and 117b (see FIG. 22 (c)).

Next, the drive shaft 84 is rotated at a low speed in the forward direction. Then, the one-way clutches 14a and 14b enter the rotation transmission state, and the low speed rotation of the drive shaft 84 causes the transmission belt 85 and the gears 82d and 82d.
It is transmitted to the shaft 4b and the shaft 12b via c, 82b, 82a and the like. Then, in FIG. 22 (d), the shaft 4b rotates in the direction of arrow C and the shaft 12b rotates in the direction of arrow D at low speed,
When b rotates, the moving pool roller 13b and the pulleys 19 and 20 attached to the shaft 12b also rotate at low speed via the one-way clutches 14b and 14a, and the shaft 12a also rotates via the timing belts 2 and 21. As a result, the upper and lower fixed pool rollers 5a and 5b and the upper and lower moving pool rollers 13a and 13b both rotate at a low speed. As a result, the fixed pool rollers 5a and 5b, the moving pool roller 13
The accumulated banknotes between a and 13b are the banknote storage section 110 below that.
It is sent into the receiving space in the frame 111 through the opening 110a (see FIG. 22 (d)).

When the deposited banknote is sent into the receiving space, the rotation drive source of the gear 146 is reversed, whereby the moving rod 112 and the moving claws 117a and 117b move to the fixed holding plate 116 side. Then, the fed bills are held between the movable holding plate 118 and the fixed holding plate 116 together with the deposited bills up to the previous time. At this time, the slide shutter 119 moves the moving rod 112 and the moving claws 117a and 117.
It moves to the front side of the machine body 1a in conjunction with b, and the opening 110a
Is closed again (see FIG. 22 (e)).

When the storage process of the deposited banknote is completed, the cam 62 rotates,
The link 64 is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 6 via the links 68, 67 and the connecting arm 65, and the movable pool rollers 13a, 13b are separated from the fixed pool rollers 5a, 5b in preparation for the next deposit process. And wait. At this time, the bill pressing plate 43 also moves together with the moving pool rollers 13a and 13b.
(See FIG. 22 (f)).

According to the present embodiment, since the front part of the banknote storage device, that is, the front side of the fixed holding plate 116 is not provided with the mechanism for moving the banknote to the rear end side, the banknote storage amount is increased accordingly. Can be made.
