[structure in 1-2. bank note pond portion]

Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 shows the bank note pond portion 20 based on the first embodiment.Left side in Fig. 3 is the face side (following, also referred to as front side) of automated teller machine 1, and in figure, right side is the side below (following, also referred to as rear side) of automatic teller machine 1.Further, Fig. 3 show withdraw the money transaction in be positioned at assembling position bank note being collected in bank note pond 24 state under bank note pond portion 20.

Bank note pond portion 20 is formed primarily of bank note pool wall 21 (21a, 21b and 21c), collecting drum 22 (22a and 22b) and stopper section 23 (23R and 23L).

The parts that bank note pool wall 21 is roughly U-shaped (コ word) shape by lateral section are formed, define three sides in bank note pond 24 and be formed with the peristome 25 can come in and gone out for bank note, wherein, this bank note pond 24 are temporarily accumulations relative to bank note pond portion 20 stored in or the space of bank note BL of taking out.

This bank note pool wall 21 is configured to: by not shown axle, drive division and drive transfer part, and with this axle for the clockwise direction of fulcrum in figure and anticlockwise direction rotate freely.

When carrying out the giving and accepting of bank note between client, bank note pool wall 21 is as shown in the solid line of Fig. 2, and the position (also this position is called customer location) opposed with paper money depositing and drawing port 12 to the peristome 25 in bank note pond 24 is rotated.

And, when the bank note putting into bank note pond 24 being separated one by one and derive to deposit bank note transport road 7a, or when the bank note of taking-up being collected bank note pond 24 via the bank note transport road 7b that withdraws the money, as shown in dashed line in figure 2, bank note pool wall 21 rotates to the position (also this position being called disengaged position or assembling position) that the peristome 25 in bank note pond 24 is opposed with deposit bank note transport road 7a and the bank note transport road 7b that withdraws the money.

The bank note transport road 7b (Fig. 3) that withdraws the money is arranged on the rear of bank note pool wall 21a.As the outlet of the bank note transport road 7b (Fig. 3) that withdraws the money and the collecting drum 22 (22a and 22b) that arranges of the position opposed with the top (top of stopper section 23 described later) of bank note pool wall 21b, clockwise direction by not shown drive division respectively in figure and anticlockwise direction rotate, and clamp and send this bank note BL to bank note pond 24 thus at the bank note BL that bank note transport road 7b carries that withdraws the money.

The blade 28 formed by elastomeric elements such as rubber is provided with at the S. A. of collecting drum 22b.This blade 28 rotates counterclockwise together with collecting drum 22b, is clapped in the rear end part side after a while downward passing out to the bank note BL in bank note pond 24 thus.

On the other hand, deposit roller 26 (26a and 26b) clockwise direction by not shown drive division respectively in figure and anticlockwise direction rotate, and are separated one by one by the bank note BL being collected in bank note pond 24 thus and to deposit bank note transport road 7a conveying.

But bank note pool wall 21b (Fig. 4) is provided with a pair stopper section 23 (23R and 23L), and this pair stopper section 23 is along the cuboid that this bank note pool wall 21b extends in roughly vertical direction when bank note pond 24 is positioned at assembling position.Stopper section 23R and 23L has the interval shorter than the length of the long side direction of bank note BL, and respectively arranges one in left-right direction.From the front end of the bank note BL that the bank note transport road 7b that withdraws the money is taken into, collide with the bank note impingement area 27 as the face opposed with the bank note transport road 7b that withdraws the money middle in stopper section 23 (Fig. 3).

Stopper section 23 be configured on the turning cylinder 31 being arranged at bank note pool wall 21b with the bottom of this turning cylinder 31 for fulcrum freely, the not shown spring device that utilization is formed by elastomeric element exerts a force to peristome 25 side (rear side) in bank note pond 24, and utilizes not shown latch for printed circuit at this application force of position limitation of regulation.If front end and the bank note impingement area 27 of the bank note BL be taken into from the bank note transport road 7b that withdraws the money collide, then stopper section 23 is that fulcrum rotates to bank note pool wall 21b side (front side) with turning cylinder 31.

Thus, stopper section 23 absorbs the impact when front end of the bank note BL be taken into from the bank note transport road 7b that withdraws the money and bank note impingement area 27 collide, thus bank note can be suppressed to rebound consumingly, and can prevent damage bank note BL.

[structure of 1-3. stopper section]

As Fig. 5, with Fig. 6 in this Fig. 5 part B partial perspective view shown in, bank note impingement area 27 in stopper section 23 is carved side by side along the vertical direction and is provided with many groovings 50, and this grooving 50 comprises the first grooving 50a (50a1,50a2 and 50a3) and the second grooving 52b (50b1 and 50b2) these two kinds.

This grooving 50 is formed as orthogonal with the discharge direction of being discharged by bank note BL from collecting drum 22 and is the shape of V word in the cross section that the Width (that is, the left and right directions in bank note pond portion 20) of bank note BL extends.

Grooving 50 is made up of areal of support 51 and dip plane 52.Areal of support 51 is with roughly orthogonal with the bank note impingement area 27 extended in roughly vertical direction and formed in the horizontal direction from the mode that this bank note impingement area 27 cuts stopper section 23 toward the front.Dip plane 52 above areal of support 51 there is relative to this areal of support 51 the angle of inclination AGR of regulation and formed from the mode that bank note impingement area 27 cuts stopper section 23 toward the front.Below, also the part that areal of support 51 is connected with dip plane 52 is called recess 53.

Further, the length of the above-below direction of the grooving 50 of bank note impingement area 27 is called groove height HGR, the length from the fore-and-aft direction of bank note impingement area 27 to recess 53 is called groove depth DGR.And then the size of grooving 50 is represented by groove height HGR or groove depth DGR, or represented by groove depth DGR and groove height HGR.

Be provided with the top that grooving 50, the first grooving 50a with the first grooving 50a and second these two kinds of sizes of grooving 52b is located at stopper section 23 quarter quarter at bank note impingement area 27, the second grooving 50b carves the bottom being located at stopper section 23.

The groove depth DGR2 of the second grooving 50b is formed as the groove depth DGR1 being greater than the first grooving 50a.And the groove height HGR2 of the second grooving 50b is formed as the groove height HGR1 being greater than the first grooving 50a.And in the present embodiment, the angle of inclination AGR2 of the second grooving 50b is formed as the angle of inclination AGR1 being less than the first grooving 50a.

Like this, on stopper section 27 and in the below of the first grooving 50a, carve the second grooving 50b being provided with groove depth DGR and groove height HGR and being all greater than this first grooving 50a.

[1-4. action and effect]

In above structure, when paying bank note BL to client, automated teller machine 1 makes bank note pool wall 21 turn to assembling position by the control of control part 8.Then, automated teller machine 1 makes collecting drum 22 rotate, and is sent by the bank note BL carried as shown in Figure 3 thus from the bank note transport road 7b that withdraws the money to bank note pond 24.

Bank note BL is discharged to front in figure, and its rear end departs from from withdraw the money bank note transport road 7b and collecting drum 22 and is sent in bank note pond 24, and the bank note impingement area 27 of its front end and stopper section 23 collides.

Automated teller machine 1 utilizes blade 28 to be clapped to bank note pool wall 21c side (i.e. below) by the rear end part of bank note BL, thus before follow-up bank note BL is sent in bank note pond 24, bank note pool wall 21c collects bank note BL.

Like this, automated teller machine 1, by multiple bank note BL with respective paper direction roughly along horizontal direction and the mode overlapped each other in the vertical direction to collect bank note pond 24 inner.

But but there is following tendency: there is toughness and undeformable normal bank note usually and the top of bank note impingement area 27 collide, and the bank note of shape anomaly and the bottom of bank note impingement area 27 are collided because of curling or wrinkle.

Herein, assuming that the grooving 50 arranged in the bottom of bank note impingement area 27 is less, then there is the abnormal bank note collided with the bottom of bank note impingement area 27 and do not enter into grooving 50 but along the possibility of bank note impingement area 27 landing.

To this, the bank note pond portion 20 of present embodiment, is provided with the second grooving 50b with enough sizes entered for abnormal bank note in the bottom of bank note impingement area 27.Thus, bank note pond portion 20 can prevent the abnormal bank note that collides with the bottom of bank note impingement area 27 because of the shape of exception along the situation of bank note impingement area 27 landing.

In addition, the situation that the top of the abnormal bank note and bank note impingement area 27 that also there is front end turnup is collided.

As shown in Figure 7, so abnormal bank note and be formed at bank note impingement area 27 top the first grooving 50a the first grooving 50a2 and 50a3 between position collide.

Now, although bank note BL does not enter the first grooving 50a3 and falls, but enter the second grooving 50b1 be positioned at below this first grooving 50a3 along dip plane 52, and then abut with recess 53 and be formed as approximate horizontal state.

Then, the bank note BL that automated teller machine 1 utilizes blade 28 to be supported by the second grooving 50b1 front end claps.

Like this, automated teller machine 1, even if the abnormal bank note that the top of the first small-sized grooving 50a pair and bank note impingement area 27 can not be utilized to collide supports, also the second large-scale grooving 50b be arranged at below the first grooving 50a can be utilized to support it, abnormal bank note can be prevented thus along the situation of bank note impingement area 27 landing.

Herein, if the grooving being formed at bank note impingement area 27 top is also comparatively large, then abnormal bank note is easy to enter this grooving.Therefore automated teller machine 1 can prevent abnormal bank note along the situation of bank note impingement area 27 landing.

But, under these circumstances, just abnormal bank note and also can enter large grooving with the normal bank note that bank note impingement area 27 top is collided.

, can expect, abutting with grooving as bank note BL and clapped by blade 28 when falling, owing to being transferred to from grooving, therefore bank note BL can by damage to a certain extent, and the distance that the groove depth DGR of the groove of the notch is pulled out more greatly is also longer, thus damage is also larger herein.

Therefore, if increase the grooving being formed at bank note impingement area 27 top, then there is following possibility: the too much damage that stopper section 23 can cause little grooving to cause to normal bank note, thus normal bank note can be made damaged.

To this, the stopper section 23 of present embodiment, is provided with the second large-scale grooving 50b in the below of the first small-sized grooving 50a.

Like this, automated teller machine 1 utilizes the first small-sized grooving 50a to support the normal bank note collided with bank note impingement area 27 top, the damage to bank note BL can be suppressed thus, and even if the first grooving 50a cannot be entered with the abnormal bank note that bank note impingement area 27 top is collided, by utilizing the second large-scale grooving 50b below it to support this abnormal bank note, also can reliably collect.

Further, for the abnormal bank note collided with bank note impingement area 27 bottom, automated teller machine 1 also can utilize the second large-scale grooving 50b to support it, thus carries out failure-free collection.

Herein, due to automated teller machine 1 utilize blade 28 make the bank note BL after entering grooving rearward away from bank note impingement area 27 while this bank note is clapped downwards, even if therefore large-scale grooving is arranged at bank note impingement area 27 bottom, bank note is also difficult to enter this grooving, thus the bank note after being supported by grooving can not enter the grooving of below again.Therefore, automated teller machine 1 can prevent from causing unnecessary damage to bank note.

Like this, automated teller machine 1 can not only suppress the damage to normal bank note, abnormal bank note can also be prevented along bank note impingement area 27 landing, thus the collection can taking precautions against bank note BL is in advance bad.

In addition, in the stopper section 23 of present embodiment, the horizontal direction roughly orthogonal with bank note impingement area 27 is provided with areal of support 51.

Herein, if such as from bank note impingement area 27 forwards and arrange areal of support 51 downwards, then with areal of support 51 along horizontal direction situation compared with, the angle of inclination AGR that this areal of support 51 and dip plane 52 are formed reduces.If bank note BL collides with the recess 53 formed with so less angle of inclination AGR, then there is this bank note BL is subject to large damage possibility from recess 53.

On the other hand, if such as from bank note impingement area 27 forwards and arrange areal of support 51 upward, then with areal of support 51 along horizontal direction situation compared with, the angle of inclination AGR that this areal of support 51 and dip plane 52 are formed increases.Even if bank note BL collides with the recess 53 formed with so large angle of inclination AGR, also there is this bank note BL and do not block the possibility being hung on recess 53 but landing.

Consider these aspects, in the present embodiment, be provided with areal of support 51 along the horizontal direction orthogonal with the bank note impingement area 27 extended in vertical direction, make the damage that recess 53 can not only be suppressed to cause to bank note BL, can also block and hang bank note BL.

According to above structure, as in the automated teller machine 1 of media processing apparatus, as the bank note pond portion 20 of medium collection device, bank note impingement area 27 is arranged side by side along the above-below direction roughly orthogonal with the paper direction of bank note BL the multiple groovings 50 formed with mutually different size, this bank note impingement area 27 in as the stopper section 23 of medium support for the front end crash with the bank note BL utilizing collecting drum 22 to discharge from the bank note transport road 7b that withdraws the money, the plurality of grooving 50 is extended along the Width of the bank note BL orthogonal with the discharge direction of this bank note BL, for supporting the front end of this bank note BL.Further, bank note pond portion 20, utilizes blade 28 card to be hung the bank note BL being supported on grooving 50 and claps, and be contained in the bank note pond 24 as medium accommodation section.Thus, automated teller machine 1 can make not block the bank note BL card being hung on the first grooving 50a and be hung on the second grooving 50b varied in size with this first grooving 50a, thus the front end of bank note BL can be suppressed sagging.Like this, automated teller machine 1 can prevent the collection of bank note BL bad, thus compared with the pastly especially can improve reliability.
