It is connected to the guide 22. The validator 10 is provided with detection means for detecting various elements for judging the authenticity of the bill being passed. Usually, the judgment factors include paper quality, color, and printing ink components of ordinary banknotes. As one of the detection means of these various determination elements, a sensor for reading the printing pattern of the banknote is arranged in the middle of the transport passage. The detection sensor for reading the pattern is composed of a pair of light emitting and light receiving elements, and these elements are arranged orthogonally to the conveying direction so as to face each other above and below the passage, and a bill is passed between both elements. That is, the paper money passing between the two elements is irradiated with light to detect the intensity of the light intensity due to the print pattern, and the detection signal is sent to the central control unit (CPU) by the microcomputer, where it is sent to the detection signal. The authenticity of the bill is determined by performing various controls based on the bill.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the carrying device 20 is stored in a frame 2 of a device frame, and a stacker 50 (FIGS. 3 and 7) for storing banknotes, which will be described later, is attached to and detached from the frame 2.

A buffer spring 28 is connected to a projecting end of a gear frame 27 having intermediate gears 26b and 26c. One end of the impact spring 28 is fixed to the frame 2. The elastic compression force of the buffer spring 28 urges the gear frame 27 to rotate counterclockwise around the shaft 25f as a fulcrum. In a normal state, the gear frame 27 abuts on the stopper pin 29 to restrict further rotation. There is.

The intermediate gear 26c is disengageably meshed with the passive gear 44 (FIGS. 1 and 4) of the pushing device 30 mounted on the stacker 50. That is, when the stacker 50 is inserted and incorporated in the frame 2 of the apparatus, the passive gear 44 of the pushing device 30 on the stacker 50 side is connected to the intermediate gear 26c and meshes therewith. The shock caused by the connection at this time is absorbed by the buffer spring 28 via the gear frame 27, and the meshed state of the intermediate gear 26c and the passive gear 44 is maintained smoothly.

As shown in FIG. 3, a box-shaped case 50b forming the stacker 50 is provided with an opening 50a, and an accommodation space 53 is provided adjacent to the opening 50a and in which a pushing device 30 is arranged in the case 50b.

In addition, a bill storage unit 51 that stores and stores bills is provided in the case 50b adjacent to the storage space 53. In this embodiment, the pushing device 30 is inserted through the opening 50a of the stacker 50 and placed in the accommodation space 53 inside the case 50b, and the mounting angle 31c on the pushing device 30 side and the mounting angle 50c provided inside the case 50b are arranged. The push-in device 30 is fixed to the stacker 50 by tightening together with screws (not shown). The stacker 50 is attachable to and detachable from the frame 2 of the apparatus from the left side in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 4, the pushing device 30 has a substrate 31 having a slit-shaped bill inlet 59 and a pushing plate 32, and the pushing plate 32 is parallel to the substrate 31 by a telescopic movement mechanism (FIG. 6). It is possible to move to and away from. That is, two link members 33, 33 are hingedly connected to each other in the X shape by a support shaft 34 at the center in the longitudinal direction, and a pair of the two X-shaped connected members is arranged on both sides (FIG. 5). ing. A fixed shaft 33a is provided at one end of each of the link members 33 on the substrate 31 side and the push plate 32 side, and is supported by the inner surfaces of the substrate 31 and the push plate 32. As shown in FIG. 6, a movable shaft 33b is provided at the other end of each link member 33 on the substrate 31 side, and the movable shaft 33b is supported by a bracket 35 so as to be horizontally movable with respect to the substrate 31. A movable shaft 33b is provided at the other end on the side of the push plate 32, and the movable shaft 33b is supported by the bent portion 32a so as to be horizontally movable with respect to the push plate 32 as shown in FIGS. . Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the movable shaft 33b on the substrate 31 side is supported by one end of the drive bracket 36, and the shaft 36a is provided at the other end of the drive bracket 36. As shown in FIG. 4, the bracket 35 fixed to the base plate 31 is provided with a long hole 35a extending in the horizontal direction. The long hole 35a includes a movable shaft 33b of the link member 33 on the base plate 31 side and a drive bracket 36. The shaft 36a is engaged to enable horizontal movement. In this manner, the push plate 32 can be moved toward and away from the substrate 31 by moving toward and away from the substrate 31.

The link member 33 is driven by a motor 25 mounted on the transfer device 20. As shown in FIG. 2, the rotation output of the motor 25 is transmitted to the intermediate gear 26 c on the gear frame 27. The passive gears 42 and 44 arranged outside the substrate 31 are supported on the shafts 41 and 45, respectively. A passive intermediate gear 43 is meshed between the passive gear 42 and the passive gear 44. When one of the passive gears 44 of the pushing device 30 is meshed with and connected to the intermediate gear 26c by the insertion of the stacker 50, the rotation of the intermediate gear 26c is transmitted to the passive gear 44, and the rotation is further transmitted to the passive gear 44c. It is transmitted to the passive gear 42 via the gear 43.

As described above, the driving force of the motor 25 in the carrying device 20 is transmitted to the pushing device 30 in the stacker 50. However, the forward rotation of the motor 25 drives the transport device 20 to transport the bill 1, and before the bill 1 reaches the predetermined position where the push device 30 can push the bill 1, the push device operates in conjunction with the transport device 20 side. It is inconvenient for 30 to work. That is, until the bill 1 reaches the pushing position, the pushing device 30 needs to be kept in a standby state with the operation stopped at the returning position. Therefore, in this embodiment, the take-up roller 46 of the pushing device 30 is pivotally attached to the shaft 41 via the one-way clutch, and the take-up roller 46 is idled during the forward rotation of the conveyor belt 23 and is rotated in the reverse direction. At this time, the winding roller 46 is rotated to operate the pushing device 30. Although not shown in the figure, a sensor for detecting that the rear end of the bill 1 has passed through the conveying device 20 and has reached the pushing device 30 and has reached the pushing position is arranged near the stacker insertion portion of the frame of the device. Has been done. The control signal from the CPU based on this detection signal is used as a switching signal to switch the drive of the motor 25 to the reverse rotation, and the take-up roller 46 is rotated by the action of the one-way clutch to operate the pushing device 30.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the take-up roller 46 is axially attached to the shaft 41 of the passive gear 42 of the pushing device 30 via the one-way clutch as described above, and the take-up roller 46 is provided. A torsion spring 38 is provided on the shaft 41 between the passive gear 42 and the passive gear 42. One end of a drive wire 47 is fixed to the take-up roller 46, and the other end of the drive wire 47 is fixed to a fixing pin 49 fixed to the substrate 31 via a roller 40 and a pulley 48 mounted on a shaft 39. Has been done. One end and the other end of the torsion spring 38 are fixed to the winding roller 46 and the substrate 31, respectively, and urge the winding roller 46 to rotate to prevent the drive wire 47 from loosening. The shaft of the pulley 48 is fixed to the drive bracket 36. Tension springs 37 are respectively stretched between both ends of the shaft 36a of the drive bracket 36 and both ends of the fixed shaft 31a fixed to the base plate 31 to urge the drive bracket 36 toward the fixed shaft 31a side of the base plate 31. . When the drive of the motor 25 in the conveying device 20 is switched to the reverse rotation, the pushing device 30 is operated and the winding roller 46 rotates, the drive wire 47 is wound around the winding roller 46, and the drive bracket 36 is driven. Moves horizontally to the take-up roller 46 side against the elasticity of the tension spring 37. At this time, since the movable shaft 33b of each link member 33 is drawn toward the fixed shaft 33a and each link member 33 extends, the push plate 32 is separated from the substrate 31, and the push plate 32 moves forward. Further, when the drive of the motor 25 in the transfer device 20 is switched to the normal rotation, the take-up roller 46 idles with respect to the shaft 41, and the restoring force of the tension spring 37 causes the drive bracket 36 to move the drive bracket 36 to the fixed shaft 31 a of the substrate 31. The movable shaft 33b of each link member 33 is pulled away from the fixed shaft 33a. At this time, each link member 33 contracts, the push plate 32 approaches the substrate 31, and the push plate 32 returns to the return position.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a door plate 52 that can be opened and closed is provided at the bottom of the case 50b of the stacker 50. The door plate 52 is rotatable around the hinge 52a as a rotation axis. As shown in FIG. 7, the banknote storage portion 51 of the stacker 50 has a pair of guide members 55 provided on both side walls of the case 50b and a pair of cutout portions 54a engaged with the pair of guide members 55. In addition, a bill receiving plate 54 that is movable along the pair of guide members 55 is arranged. The bill receiving plate 54 is supported by two springs 56, 56 and is urged toward the storage space 53. A pair of stoppers 57 are integrally provided at the ends of the pair of guide members 55 on the side of the storage space 53, and the notches of the bill receiving plate 54 are brought into contact with the pair of stoppers 57, whereby the bill receiving plate 54 It prevents the invasion of the storage space 53 of the. Further, the pair of stoppers 57 also serve as guides for mounting the pushing device 30 on the stacker 50, and by pushing the pushing device 30 into contact with the pair of protruding portions 31b of the substrate 31 of the pushing device 30 shown in FIG. The device 30 can be easily housed in the housing space 53 of the case 50b. The distance between the pair of guide members 55 facing each other is set to a size that allows the push plate 32 of the pushing device 30 to pass in the width direction. When the bill 1 sent from the transport device 20 reaches the pushing position of the bill receiving plate 54, the pushing device 30 operates and the pushing plate 32 moves forward. By the forward movement of the push plate 32, the bill 1 is pushed into the bill storage portion 51 together with the bill receiving plate 54 against the elasticity of the spring 56.

Next, the operation and action of the banknote handling device having the above configuration will be described. In use, when the stacking device 30 is mounted and the stacker 50 having an empty inside of the bill storage unit 51 is inserted and incorporated into the frame 2 of the device, the bill intake port 59 of the pushing device 30 is inserted into the transport guide 22 of the transport device 20. Connect to the rear end outlet 22b. At the same time, the passive gear 44 of the pushing device 30 is connected to the intermediate gear 26c on the side of the transport device 20 by the insertion operation of the stacker 50, and both teeth are meshed. That is, the rotary drive force is directly connected to the transfer device 20 and can be transmitted to the pushing device 30. The shock at the time of connection is absorbed by the buffer spring 28 via the gear frame 27.

When the bill 1 is inserted into the validator 10, it is checked by the built-in CPU based on the detection data such as the amount of transmitted light of the bill 1. For example, the level of whether the amount of transmitted light is within the range of the set value is determined, and if it is out of the level, the inserted banknote 1 is not considered to be a genuine banknote, and the banknote is inserted into the slot 11 side. Return to. The banknote 1 identified as a genuine banknote is guided by the transfer guide 22 by the operation of the transfer device 20, contacts the transfer belt 23, and is sent toward the stacker 50 by this frictional force. The drive source motor 25 operates in the forward rotation direction in response to an operation signal from the CPU. During this time, in the pushing device 30, the take-up roller 46 idles due to the action of the one-way clutch, and the normal rotation of the motor 25 is not transmitted to the pushing device 30 side.

When it is detected that the rear end of the bill 1 being conveyed by the conveying device 20 has passed and the bill has been inserted inside from the bill inlet 59 of the pushing device 30 and has reached the pushing position, this detection signal is used as a basis. Based on the control signal from the CPU as a switching signal, the drive of the motor 25 is switched to the reverse rotation, and the reverse rotation of the conveyor belt 23 changes the intermediate gear 26a on the shaft 25f to the intermediate gear 26b on the gear frame 27. It is transmitted to the intermediate gear 26c via. The reverse rotation output of the motor 25 is reduced to a required low speed ratio up to the intermediate gear 26c and transmitted to the passive gear 44 of the pushing device 30.

In the pushing device 30, the rotations of the passive gears 42 to 44 are transmitted to the take-up roller 46 via the shaft 41 and the one-way clutch to wind the drive wire 47, and the drive bracket 36 is moved to move the X-shape. The push plate 32 is moved forward by extending the link member 33. That is, as the push plate 32 moves forward, the bill 1 reaching the pushing position is pushed into the bill storing portion 51 of the stacker 50 together with the bill receiving plate 54 against the elasticity of the spring 56. After the banknote 1 is pushed into the banknote storage unit 51, when the drive of the motor 25 in the transport device 20 is switched to the normal rotation, the take-up roller 46 idles with respect to the shaft 41 and the tension spring 37 moves. By the restoring force, the drive bracket 36 is pulled toward the fixed shaft 31a side of the substrate 31, the X-shaped link member 33 is contracted, and the push plate 32 is returned to the return position. At the same time, the bill receiving plate 54 is moved to the pushing device 30 side by the restoring force of the spring 56, and the paper 1 placed on the bill receiving plate 54 is urged toward the pushing device 30 side.

Next, by repeating this, when the set number of banknotes 1 are accumulated in the banknote storage section 51 of the stacker 50 and become full, the stacker 50 is removed from the apparatus. When the stacker 50 is detached from the apparatus frame 2, the connection between the intermediate gear 26c on the conveying apparatus 20 side and the passive gear 44 on the pushing apparatus 30 side is released.

When the door plate 52 of the stacker 50 is opened and the banknote 1 in the banknote storage unit 51 is taken out, the banknote receiving plate 54 is moved to the storage space 53 side along the pair of guide members 55 by the restoring force of the spring 56. The bill receiving plate 54 is moved, the notch 54a of the bill receiving plate 54 contacts the pair of stoppers 57, and the movement of the bill receiving plate 54 is stopped. When changing the bill storage capacity of the stacker 50, the screw (not shown) for fixing the pushing device 30 on the mounting angle 50c in the case 50b of the stacker 50 is removed, and the pushing device 30 is removed from the case 50b of the stacker 50. It may be taken out and the push-in device 30 may be attached to stackers having different bill storage capacities.

As described above, in this embodiment, the case 50b forming the stacker 50 is provided with the opening portion 50a, and the housing space 53 for arranging the pushing device 30 is provided in the case 50b adjacent to the opening portion 50a. Since the pushing device 30 is detachably attached to the stacker 50, it is not necessary to prepare a new stacker including the pushing device 30 when it is desired to change the bill storage capacity of the stacker 50. Therefore, the structure of the stacker 50 can be simplified, and the bill storage capacity can be easily changed only by replacing the bill storage portion 51 of the stacker 50. Further, since the pushing device 30 can be easily removed, even if the pushing device 30 malfunctions or the like, it is only necessary to replace the pushing device 30 and the maintainability can be improved. Further, a pair of guide members 55 in the banknote storage section 51 of the stacker 50, a banknote receiving plate 54 movable along the pair of guide members 55, and a banknote receiving plate 54 supported and attached to the storage space 53 side. Since the urging spring 56 and the pair of stoppers 57 for preventing the bill receiving plate 54 urged by the spring 56 from entering the accommodation space 53, the pushing device is inserted into the accommodation space 53 in the case 50b of the stacker 50. 30 can be easily accommodated.

The embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and various modifications can be made. For example, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the pair of stoppers 57 are integrally provided at the ends of the pair of guide members 55 on the storage space 53 side inside the banknote storage portion 51 of the stacker 50 is shown. The stopper 57 may be provided separately from the pair of guide members 55. In addition, a pair of storage unit guide members are provided separately from the pair of stoppers 57 between the bill storage unit 51 in the case 50b of the stacker 50 and the storage space 53 in which the pushing device 30 is disposed.
