Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a small-sized banknote handling device mounted on a vending machine, a changer, a toll collector in an unmanned parking lot, or the like, for discriminating authenticity of a banknote inserted and for stacking and storing genuine banknotes in a banknote storage unit, and more particularly, to a technique for facilitating maintenance and inspection work of a banknote discriminating unit.
background
In general, a banknote handling device that discriminates whether or not an inserted banknote is a genuine banknote and that stores only banknotes discriminated as genuine banknotes is mounted inside an apparatus main body such as a vending machine, a changer, and a toll collector in an unmanned parking lot that handles banknotes.
the paper money processing device is provided with: a paper money conveying path which is provided with a paper money conveying mechanism for conveying the paper money input from the paper money inlet to the interior of the device main body; a bill discriminating unit having a bill discriminating mechanism for discriminating authenticity of a bill being conveyed; and a banknote storage unit having a banknote storage mechanism for stacking and storing banknotes identified as genuine banknotes.
Conventionally, various banknote handling apparatuses are known in which a plurality of recognition sensors including a magnetic sensor and an optical sensor are disposed at predetermined positions in a banknote transport path, a physical feature of a banknote is detected by scanning the predetermined positions of the banknote, the authenticity of the banknote is comprehensively judged based on the detection output of each sensor, and the banknote transport path in which the sensors are disposed is openable and closable so that maintenance and inspection work of the banknote recognition unit can be easily performed.
Note that there are a banknote storage technique in which banknotes are stacked and stored in a banknote storage container one by one from a banknote transport path, a technique in which a plurality of banknote storage containers are provided and banknotes are stored for each denomination, and a technique in which a banknote storage container is detachably attached to a banknote handling apparatus main body so that banknote collection and replenishment work can be easily performed.
Among such banknote handling devices, a mounting space of a banknote handling device on a mounted device side such as a vending machine, a changer, and a toll collector in an unmanned parking lot is limited, and a technique for downsizing the banknote handling device itself without reducing the number of banknotes that can be stored and without lowering each function is desired.
meanwhile, in the banknote recognition unit, maintenance and inspection work such as cleaning or replacement is periodically performed to prevent a decrease in recognition level and a banknote recognition error caused by adhesion of dust, foreign materials, and the like to a sensor of the banknote recognition mechanism when a banknote having dust, foreign materials, and the like adhered thereto is inserted.
For example, patent document 1 (japanese patent application laid-open No. 2001-312759) discloses a banknote handling apparatus including: the unit case integrally provided with a paper money recognition mechanism is turned to open and close by taking a pivot support part as a fulcrum, the paper money recognition mechanism can be detached to clean the surface of the sensor, and a locking component which enables the paper money recognition mechanism to stay at a recognition and identification position when the unit case is closed is provided, thereby preventing the reduction of the paper money recognition level.
However, in the banknote handling machine of patent document 1, when the unit cassette is locked halfway after completion of the cleaning operation, the banknote conveyance path of the pivotally supporting portion becomes narrow, and there is a possibility that the banknote is jammed during conveyance of the banknote, or the optical path of the optical sensor is shifted to lower the recognition level, which leads to a reduction in the recognition rate.
In contrast, patent document 2 (japanese patent application laid-open No. 2003-22463) discloses a banknote recognition device including: when the light transmission state continues, it is determined that the bill discriminating mechanism is open from the standby position by using the state of the signal of the sensor in order to detect the slightly open state of the bill discriminating portion.
however, the banknote recognition device of patent document 2 detects the standby position of the banknote recognition mechanism by using the state of the signal of the sensor, and therefore, for example, when the banknote recognition mechanism is opened, there is a problem that the lock is applied again. Further, there is a problem that the time required for the cleaning inspection work becomes long, and the working time of the vending machine or the like is shortened.
In addition, in the conventional banknote handling apparatus including the openable and closable banknote recognition unit and the detachable banknote storage unit as disclosed in patent documents 1 and 2, the banknote recognition unit and the banknote storage unit are disposed at the rear end of the apparatus as follows: the front side of the device is provided with a paper money inlet for inputting paper money, the paper money inlet is arranged on the inner side of a door leaf in a mode of exposing from the door leaf on the front side of the device such as an automatic vending machine, and the opening and closing of the paper money identification part and the loading and unloading of the paper money storage part can be carried out under the state that the paper money processing device is still arranged on the door leaf.
Therefore, the banknote recognition unit and the storage boxes need to be arranged in parallel in the longitudinal direction, and the size of the device is increased only in the longitudinal direction. In particular, this difficulty is significant in the case of a banknote handling apparatus including a plurality of storage containers.

problems to be solved by the invention
in view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a banknote handling apparatus including: the paper money handling device is small in size and can prevent the paper money conveying passage provided with the paper money recognition sensor from being forgotten to be closed.
means for solving the problems
in order to solve the above problem, a banknote handling device according to the present invention includes: a paper money inlet which is arranged on the front surface of the device; a banknote storage unit which is detachably mounted to the apparatus main body and stores banknotes in order; and a banknote transport path that guides banknotes inserted from the banknote insertion port to the banknote storage unit, wherein a banknote recognition sensor that discriminates authenticity and type of banknotes is disposed upstream of the banknote storage unit, wherein the banknote storage unit is disposed behind the banknote recognition unit, and wherein the banknote processing device further comprises an opening/closing unit that is openable and closable to the banknote transport path in which the banknote recognition sensor is disposed, wherein the opening/closing unit opens the banknote transport path in the rear direction in a state in which the banknote storage unit is removed.
Further, a banknote transport path in which the banknote recognition sensor is disposed and a banknote transport path provided in the banknote storage unit may be arranged in parallel in the front-rear direction and in a banknote transport direction substantially perpendicular to each other, and the banknote storage unit may include: a banknote storage box for storing banknotes in order; a stack guide that separates a long-side edge of the bill stored in the bill storage box from a long-side edge of the bill passing through the bill conveyance path; a reciprocating mechanism that reciprocates the stacking guide in a front-rear direction; a holding plate which abuts against a front surface of the bill in the stacking guide and restricts forward movement of the bill in the stacking guide; and a biasing portion provided to the stack guide and configured to bias the opening/closing portion forward by abutting against the opening/closing portion when the stack guide reciprocates.
Effects of the invention
in this way, the banknote handling apparatus according to the present invention can achieve a reduction in size of the apparatus by disposing the banknote storage section at the rear of the banknote recognition section, and also can prevent forgetting to close the opening/closing section when the banknote storage section is assembled because the opening/closing section that opens and closes the banknote transport path provided with the banknote recognition section is disposed so as to open rearward when the banknote storage section is removed, and thus the banknote storage section cannot be assembled unless the opening/closing section is closed after completion of the maintenance and inspection work of the banknote recognition section.
Further, since the urging portion that abuts against the opening/closing portion of the banknote recognition unit when the stack guide provided in the banknote storage unit reciprocates is provided in the stack guide, the urging portion can urge the opening/closing portion to completely close the opening/closing portion in the initial operation even when the opening/closing portion is not completely closed, and therefore, the operator does not need to close the opening/closing portion again, and the time required for the operation can be shortened.

Detailed Description
Hereinafter, a banknote handling apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings shown in fig. 1 to 6. In the following description, the structure of the banknote handling apparatus 1 will be described, and then the initial operation of the banknote storage unit 6 will be described.
Note that the present invention can also be applied to a banknote handling apparatus having a plurality of banknote storage units for each denomination, a banknote handling apparatus having a circulating banknote return mechanism for returning banknotes stored in the banknote storage units one by one, and the like, but the banknote handling apparatus 1 of the present embodiment includes only one banknote storage unit 6 and does not include a circulating banknote return mechanism. In each drawing, the side on which the bill inlet 21 into which bills are inserted is disposed is defined as the front side.
Fig. 1 is a central longitudinal sectional view of the banknote handling apparatus 1, showing the attachment and detachment of the banknote storage unit 6 and the opening and closing of the opening and closing unit 4 of the banknote recognition unit 3, fig. 2 (a) is a central longitudinal sectional view of the banknote handling apparatus 1 in a banknote receivable state (standby state), and fig. 2 (b) is a right side view of the opening and closing unit 4 in the banknote receivable state (standby state).
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in the banknote handling apparatus 1, a banknote carrying path 2 for carrying banknotes is provided to extend rearward (rightward in the drawing) with a banknote inlet 21 disposed on the front surface side of the apparatus main body as an upstream end, is provided to extend vertically downward by being bent downward at once, passes through a banknote recognition unit 3 for recognizing the authenticity and denomination of banknotes, is then bent rearward again, is further bent upward at a substantially central portion in the depth direction to extend vertically upward, and has a storage standby position (a region surrounded by a pair of recesses 65 of a stacking guide 64 described later) in the banknote storage unit 6 for stacking and storing banknotes in a vertical posture as a downstream end.
An inlet sensor, not shown, for detecting banknotes inserted from the banknote inlet 21 is disposed near the banknote inlet 21 at the upstream end of the banknote transport path 2, and a banknote transport mechanism for transporting inserted banknotes downstream of the banknote transport path 2 is driven based on the detection output of the inlet sensor.
Each part of the banknote transport path 2 is provided with a banknote transport mechanism, not shown, for transporting banknotes downstream, and the banknote transport mechanism transports the banknotes in the banknote transport path 2 by sandwiching the banknotes by a transport belt driven by a transport motor and stretched between a drive pulley and a plurality of driven pulleys, and a plurality of driven rollers pressed against the transport belt. Note that, in the present embodiment, the example in which the banknotes are conveyed by the conveying belt is described, but the banknotes may be conveyed by the conveying rollers.
Note that, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that the banknote transport mechanism is reversed to transport the banknotes in the reverse direction in the banknote transport path 2 and return the banknotes from the banknote inlet 21 when returning the banknotes, but for example, the banknote transport path 2 may be extended above the banknote storage unit 6, and a return port may be separately provided at the downstream end of the banknote transport path with respect to the banknote inlet 21 to transport the banknotes in only one direction.
A plurality of recognition sensors, not shown, each including a magnetic sensor and an optical sensor are disposed on both the front wall surface 31 and the rear wall surface 41 of the bill conveyance path 2 in the bill recognition unit 3, and each sensor scans a predetermined position of the bill passing through the bill conveyance path 2 to detect a physical feature of the bill, and comprehensively determines the authenticity and denomination of the bill based on the detection output. In the present embodiment, the identification sensor is disposed on both the front wall surface 31 and the rear wall surface 41, but a reflective optical sensor or the like may be used and the identification sensor may be disposed on only one of the front wall surface 31 and the rear wall surface 41.
The rear wall surface 41 is formed on the front surface of the opening/closing unit 4, the opening/closing unit 4 openably and closably covers the banknote carrying path 2 of the banknote recognition unit 3 from the rear side, and the opening/closing unit 4 is supported rotatably with respect to the banknote handling apparatus 1 main body via an opening/closing shaft 42 formed at the lower portion thereof. The rear side of the opening/closing section 4 communicates with the banknote storage section 6, and can be opened rearward to expose the front wall surface 31 and the rear wall surface 41 in a state where the banknote storage section 6 is removed.
The banknote storage unit 6 cannot be mounted unless the opening/closing unit 4 is closed, and the opening/closing unit 4 is prevented from being forgotten to be closed when the banknote storage unit 6 is mounted. Since there is a possibility that the recognition level is lowered when an external force is constantly applied to the banknote recognition unit 3, it is preferable to provide a certain gap behind the opening/closing unit 4 so as not to directly contact the banknote storage unit 6.
The closed opening/closing unit 4 is fixed to the banknote processing apparatus 1 main body by a lock mechanism formed by engagement of a lock member 5 disposed on the upper portion of the opening/closing unit 4 and a lock receiving unit 32 provided on the banknote processing apparatus 1 main body. The lock member 5 has a lock lever 51, a pivot shaft 52, a lock projection 53, and an elastic arm portion 54, is integrally formed of resin, and can be operated from the rear of the opening/closing portion 4 by the lock lever 51 disposed at the upper portion of the left and right center of the opening/closing portion 4.
The lock lever 51 is always in a horizontal posture, and is arranged to swing around a pivot shaft 52 disposed in a forward position of the upper portion of the opening/closing portion 4 by being biased downward at its rear end. Further, cylindrical locking projections 53 projecting outward in the right and left direction are formed on both sides of the upper portion of the opening/closing portion 4 in the rear direction, and the locking projections 53 swing around the rotating shaft 52 in conjunction with the swing of the locking lever 51.
Further, elastic arm portions 54 having a rod shape and extending vertically downward and having elasticity are formed below the rotating shafts 52 on both sides of the opening/closing portion 4. The lower end of the elastic arm portion 54 is fixed to the fixing portions 43 provided on both side surfaces of the opening/closing portion 4, and when the lock lever 51 is biased downward, the elastic arm portion 54 is bent forward, and the lock lever 51 is restored upward by the elastic restoring force.
on the other hand, in a state where the opening/closing portion 4 is closed, a lock receiving portion 32 having a substantially inverted U-shaped cross section is formed at a position facing the left and right of the lock convex portion 53 in the banknote processing apparatus 1 main body. In a state where the opening/closing portion 4 is closed and the lock lever 51 is not biased, the lock convex portion 53 is engaged in the lock receiving portion 32 to be in a locked state. When the lock lever 51 is biased downward, the lock projection 53 is disengaged from the lock receiving portion 32 to be in a lock release state, and the opening/closing portion 4 can be tilted rearward. At this time, the lock projection 53 passes below the rear wall of the lock receiving portion 32.
Further, a slope 33 is formed on the rear surface of the lock receiving portion 32, and when the opening/closing portion 4 is closed while keeping the lock lever 51 from being biased downward, the lock protrusion 53 abutting against the slope 33 is guided downward, and the lock protrusion 53 is bored below the rear wall of the lock receiving portion 32 (see fig. 5 b and 6 b). At this time, the lock lever 51 swings downward in conjunction with the lock projection 53, the elastic arm portion 54 bends forward, and the lock projection 53 is biased upward by the elastic restoring force of the elastic arm portion 54, so that the lock projection 53 engages with the lock receiving portion 32 after having bored the rear wall of the lock receiving portion 32, and the opening/closing portion 4 is locked to the apparatus main body.
The inclined surface 33 of the lock receiving portion 32 is preferably inclined at an angle of 45 degrees or more with respect to the vertical surface so that the lock projection 53 can be easily inserted. In the drawings, the locking projection 53, the elastic arm portion 54, the fixing portion 43, and the lock receiving portion 32 are also provided in left-right symmetry, not shown.
The banknote storage unit 6 is disposed at a position where the banknote transport path 2 is vertically provided downstream of the banknote recognition unit 3, and the banknote storage unit 6 is attached so as to be able to be inserted and removed from the apparatus main body from behind in the horizontal direction while holding the banknote processing apparatus 1 disposed in a device not shown. Note that the upper side of the banknote storage unit 6 main body is opened to enable collection of stored banknotes and the like.
The recycled banknote storage unit 6 includes a banknote storage 61 disposed at the rear of the banknote transport path 2 and a banknote storage mechanism disposed at the front, and is configured to store banknotes in the banknote storage 61 at a position (storage standby position) facing the banknote storage 61 in the banknote transport path 2 one by the banknote storage mechanism.
The banknote storage box 61 includes: a stacking plate 62 having a substantially rectangular plate shape disposed in parallel with the banknotes passing through the banknote conveyance path 2, and on the front surface of which the circulating banknotes M are stacked in order; and circulating compression springs 63a and 63b that connect the main body of the banknote storage unit 6 and the stacking plate 62 and constantly urge the stacking plate 62 forward.
The paper money receiving mechanism comprises: a pair of stack guides 64 (also provided symmetrically on the right side, not shown) each having a pair of grooves (slits) 65 for guiding the longitudinal side edges of the banknotes; a holding plate 67 for restricting the forward movement of the left and right center portions of the bill; a pair of reciprocating mechanisms, not shown, for connecting the stack guide 64 to the banknote storage section 6 main body and moving the stack guide 71 forward and backward; and a driving mechanism, not shown, for driving the reciprocating mechanism.
the stack guide 64 is supported to be slidable in the front-rear direction with respect to the main body of the circulating bill storage section 6 while maintaining its posture, and linearly reciprocates once in the front-rear direction by a reciprocating mechanism not shown at the time of initial operation when the power of the bill processing apparatus 1 is turned on and at the time of storing bills.
in the standby state, the recessed grooves 65 of the stack guide 64 form the front and rear surfaces and the side edges of both side portions of the banknote transport path 2. The transport position (storage standby position) of the inserted banknotes and the stored banknotes M have a certain gap by the stack guide 64, and the stored banknotes M do not interfere with the transport of the banknotes.
That is, the stack guide 64 is configured to have a function of preventing the stored banknotes M stored in the banknote storage 61 from returning to the banknote transport path 2 side, a function of preventing the banknotes in the banknote transport path 2 from entering the banknote storage 61, and a function as a wall for regulating the path width of the longitudinal side edge of the banknotes in the banknote transport path 2. Further, the stack guide 64 is configured to: the stack guide 64 is restricted from moving in the left-right direction and the up-down direction, and is movable only in the front-back direction.
Further, a biasing portion 66 is formed on the front side of the stack guide 64, and the biasing portion 66 abuts against the rear surface of the opening/closing portion 4 when the stack guide 64 moves to the forefront, so that even when the opening/closing portion 4 is not completely closed at the time of assembling the banknote storage unit 6 (see fig. 3), the biasing portion 66 biases the opening/closing portion 4 forward and completely closes the opening/closing portion 4 when the stack guide 64 reciprocates once at the initial operation.
The stacking guide 64 may have any shape as long as it has the above-described functions, and for example, a wall for separating the banknote transport path 2 from the banknote storage container 61 and a wall for regulating the path width of the longitudinal side edge of the banknote may be provided integrally or separately.
The holding plate 67 has a rear wall on substantially the same plane as the front wall of the pocket 65 in the standby state, and is fixedly provided to the banknote storage section 6 main body so as to be interposed between the left and right stack guides 64. The holding plate 67 abuts against the front surface of the bill in the recessed groove 65 to restrict forward movement of the bill when the stack guide 64 moves forward during the bill storing operation. Then, both side edges of the bill are separated from the concave grooves 65, the bill enters to a position behind the stack guide 64, and the bill is stored in the stack plate 62 in the bill storage 61.
in this way, the stacking guide 64 is moved in the reverse direction of the banknote storage container 61 in a state where the holding plate 67 restricts forward movement of the banknotes, so that both side edges of the banknotes are separated from the concave grooves 65, without pressing the banknotes in the concave grooves 65 toward the banknote storage container 61, thereby preventing reduction of the effective capacity in the banknote storage container 61.
Note that, in the banknote handling machine of the present invention, the inlet sensor, the magnetic sensor, the optical sensor, the banknote transport mechanism, the shuttle mechanism, and the drive mechanism may be those to which conventional techniques are applied, and since they are not portions related to the present invention, detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted.
in the banknote handling apparatus 1 configured as described above, the initial operation when the banknote storage unit 6 is mounted on the banknote handling apparatus 1 main body or when the power supply is turned on is described without completely closing the opening/closing unit 4 of the banknote recognition unit 3. Note that, as described above, the present invention is also applicable to a banknote handling apparatus including a circulating banknote return mechanism, and therefore, the present invention will be described using an example of a banknote handling apparatus in which banknotes M for change are stored in the banknote storage 61.
when the banknote handling apparatus 1 is assembled to the banknote handling apparatus 1 and the assembly of the banknote handling section 6 is detected by a sensor not shown, the stack guide 64 is reciprocated once as an initial operation. The banknote processing apparatus 1 also performs this initial operation when the power is turned on.
Fig. 3 to 6 show the banknote storage unit 6 immediately after assembly, when the biasing unit 66 abuts against the opening/closing unit 4, when the biasing unit 66 presses the opening/closing unit 4, and when the stack guide 64 reaches the maximum movement position, in each of the drawings, (a) is a central longitudinal sectional view of the banknote handling device 1, and (b) is a right side view of the opening/closing unit 4.
when the banknote storage unit 6 is mounted on the banknote processing apparatus 1 main body as shown in fig. 3 or the power of the banknote processing apparatus 1 is turned on, an instruction is issued from a control unit not shown to perform an initial operation. Then, a reciprocating mechanism, not shown, is driven via a driving mechanism, not shown, of the banknote storage mechanism, and the stack guide 64 starts to move forward.
As shown in fig. 4, before the stack guide 64 reaches the movable front end, the front end of the urging portion 66 abuts against the rear surface of the opening/closing portion 4. At this time, the stack guide 64 moves forward, and the stored banknotes M in the banknote storage container 61 move forward by the biasing force of the compression springs 63a and 63b while being sandwiched between the rear surface of the stack guide 64 and the stack plate 62. When the front surface of the stored banknotes M reaches the holding plate 67, the forward movement of the stored banknotes M is restricted by the holding plate 67 and only the stack guide 64 continues to move forward.
As shown in fig. 5, when the stack guide 64 continues to move forward and the top end of the biasing portion 66 biases the upper portion of the opening/closing portion 4 forward, the opening/closing portion 4 rotates in the closing direction. Then, the lock projection 53 abuts against the inclined surface 33 of the lock receiving portion 32, and when the stack guide 64 is further pressed by the forward movement, the lock projection 53 is guided by the inclined surface 33 and moves downward. At this time, the locking protrusion 53 swings downward about the pivot shaft 52, and the elastic arm 54 bends forward to generate an elastic restoring force.
as shown in fig. 6, until the stack guide 64 reaches the maximum movement position, the lock projection 53 passes below the rear wall of the lock receiving portion 32 and the opening/closing portion 4 is completely closed. Then, the locking projection 53 is restored upward by the elastic restoring force of the elastic arm portion 54 and is engaged in the lock receiving portion 33, thereby being in a locked state.
Then, the stack guide 64 moves backward and returns to the storage standby position, and becomes a state (standby state) in which the bills are stored as shown in fig. 2.
here, since the opening/closing portion 4 is constantly biased by the driven roller not shown, when the biasing portion 66 is separated from the opening/closing portion 4, the locking convex portion 53 is pushed back in the opening direction of the opening/closing portion 4 and is constantly in contact with the surface of the locking receiving portion 32 opposite to the surface on which the inclined surface 33 is provided, and the posture of the opening/closing portion 4 is constant.
In the banknote processing device 1, when the opening/closing unit 4 is completely closed, the biasing unit 66 also abuts against the opening/closing unit 4 and biases the opening/closing unit 4 in the closing direction when the stack guide 64 reciprocates. When the stack guide 64 reciprocates during the banknote storing operation, the opening/closing unit 4 is also biased by the biasing unit 66 and the banknote recognition unit 3 receives an external force, but since the banknote storing operation is not performed when the banknote passes through the banknote recognition unit 3, the recognition level is not affected.
In this way, even when the opening/closing portion 4 is not completely closed, the urging portion 66 of the stack guide 64 can be urged to the opening/closing portion 4 to completely close the opening/closing portion 4 by abutting against the opening/closing portion 4 of the banknote recognition unit 3 when the urging portion 66 of the stack guide 64 is moved to the maximum movement position in the initial operation. Therefore, when the opening/closing portion 4 is not completely closed, the operator does not need to remove the banknote storage portion 6 again and close the opening/closing portion 4, and the time required for the operation can be shortened.
The above examples merely show preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above examples per se.
