The banknote 23 is rotated in a direction in which the banknote 23 enters the storage portion 16, so that the banknote 23 that has been slid and tilted and accumulated can be slid down to the stage 19 by reliably abutting the end portion on the ticket stopper 18. The state in the gap 24 is aligned.

Thereby, the first banknote 23 is blocked by the notch 24 of the stage 19, and from the second and subsequent banknotes, it does not hang down from the notch 24 of the stage 19. Therefore, when the storage portion 16 is rotated, there is no problem that the banknotes are caught between the storage portion 16 and the escutcheon 15.

[Example 2]

In the present embodiment, the banknote stacking device is the same as that of the first embodiment, and therefore the description of the structure will be omitted, and the dispensing transaction will be described using the same reference numerals.

When the opening of the storage unit 16 is directed toward the blade wheel 20 side, the first banknote 23 is discriminated by the banknote discriminating unit 3, and the paper is discriminated When the banknote 23 is a banknote of a gold type having a small outer shape, as shown in FIG. 12, when all the banknotes 23 are collected on the stage 19, as shown in FIG. 13, the stage 19 is lowered to the storage unit 16 in the drawing. At the bottom, the pickup roller 22 is rotated in a direction in which the banknote 23 enters the storage portion 16 (counterclockwise in the drawing), and as shown in FIG. 14, the end of the first banknote 23 and the ticket are stopped. The actuator 18 is surely abutted, so that when the banknote 23 is tilted and is not correctly placed on the stage 19, the alignment is correctly performed.

Then, as shown in FIG. 15, the state in which the banknote 23 can be taken out by the customer is formed by rotating the storage unit 16 to the banknote entry/exit port 1 and opening the shutter 11.

As described above, according to the second embodiment, even if the first banknote 23 is a banknote of a gold type having a small outer shape, when the banknote 23 is inclined, the banknote 23 can be used to block the notch 24 of the stage 19. The gap is reduced. Therefore, even if the banknote of the second and subsequent bills is a banknote having a small outer shape, it is difficult to slip off the gap.

Therefore, when it is determined that the first banknote 23 is a banknote of a gold type having a small outer shape, the downloading table 19 can be lowered after all the banknotes are collected, and the pickup roller 22 can be moved into the storage unit 16 along the banknote 23. Since the direction of the first banknote 23 is reliably brought into contact with the ticket stopper 18 at the end portion, even if the first banknote 23 is inclined, the banknotes 23 can be aligned and aligned, and even if the banknotes 23 are loaded When the stage 19 is exposed, the state in which the notch 24 is suspended from the notch 24 of the stage 19 can be aligned and aligned, so that the banknote 23 does not enter between the storage part 16 and the escutcheon 15 when the storage unit 16 rotates. .

In addition, even if the second banknote 23 is tilted and concentrated, it can be picked up. The rotation of the roller 22 is taken to continuously perform the alignment.

In each of the above embodiments, the operation is performed only when the banknote discriminating unit discriminates the banknote of a gold type having a small outer shape, and when the outer shape of the banknote is large (it does not slip into the notch), the stage is not carried out. Since the vertical movement or the rotation of the pickup roller is performed, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the processing speed.

Further, in the above description, the banknote has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be applied as a collecting device such as a ticket, an entrance ticket, or a ticket.

Although the present invention has been described above by way of a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the invention, and the invention may be modified and modified without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
