- The present invention relates to a paper sheet storing apparatus.
- A banknote handling apparatus included in an ATM (Automated Teller Machine) includes a banknote storing apparatus that temporarily stores received banknote. This type of banknote storing apparatus has a known configuration in which banknote together with a tape supplied from a supply reel are wound around a winding drum in its circumferential direction to store the banknote. In the banknote storing apparatus, the axial direction of the winding drum is arranged parallel to the axial direction of the supply reel, and a predetermined tensional force is applied in the length direction of the tape conveyed between the supply reel and the winding drum.
- Patent Literature 1: Japanese Laid-open Patent Publication No.
2016-3095 - And now, in the above-described banknote storing apparatus, the axial direction of the winding drum is arranged parallel to the axial direction of the supply reel, to apply a predetermined tensional force to the tape without twisting the tape, and therefore there is a restriction on the relative position between the winding drum and the supply reel.

Moreover, thebanknote handling apparatus 1 includes: aconveying mechanism 8 that conveys thebanknote 2 along aconveyance path 8a among theunits units - As illustrated in
FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 , thetemporary storing unit 5 installed in thebanknote handling apparatus 1 corresponds to the banknote storing apparatus according to the embodiment. Hereinafter, thetemporary storing unit 5 is referred to as thebanknote storing apparatus 5 in the description. For the convenience of description, inFIG. 1 , the direction in which thebanknote 2 is inserted into or drawn from the banknote insertion/drawing unit 3 (the front-back direction of the banknote handling apparatus 1) is an X-direction, the axial direction of awinding drum 12, described later, included in the banknote storing apparatus 5 (the width direction of the banknote handling apparatus 1) is a Y-direction, and the vertical direction of thebanknote storing apparatus 5 is a Z-direction. In the figures subsequent toFIG. 1 , the X-, Y-, and Z-directions are illustrated in the same manner as inFIG. 1 . - As illustrated in
FIG. 2 , the two banknote storingapparatuses 5 are arranged side by side in the X-direction inside the banknote handlingapparatuses 1. Here, according to the present embodiment, thebanknote 2 is used as an example of the paper sheet; however, banknote is not a limitation. Examples of the paper sheet include a bill, a check, a coupon, various types of securities, and valuable securities such as a stock certificate. -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view that illustrates thebanknote storing apparatus 5 according to the embodiment.FIG. 4 is a plan view that illustrates thebanknote storing apparatus 5 according to the embodiment.FIG. 5 is a front view that illustrates thebanknote storing apparatus 5 according to the embodiment when viewed from the side of a supply reel.FIG. 6 is a side view that illustrates a conveyance path of a threadlike material in thebanknote storing apparatus 5 according to the embodiment. - As illustrated in
FIG. 3 ,FIG. 4 , andFIG. 5 , thebanknote storing apparatus 5 according to the embodiment includes asupply reel 11, thewinding drum 12, aguide mechanism 13, and adetector 14. Thesupply reel 11 has twothreadlike materials 16 wound therearound and supplies the woundthreadlike material 16. Thesupply reel 11 supplies the twothreadlike materials 16 in parallel with a predetermined space between each other. Thebanknote 2 together with thethreadlike materials 16 supplied from thesupply reel 11 are wound around the windingdrum 12. Theguide mechanism 13 guides thethreadlike material 16 along the conveyance path between thesupply reel 11 and thewinding drum 12. - As the
threadlike material 16, for example, a cotton thread, what is called a kite string, is used. Furthermore, as thethreadlike material 16, other thread materials, such as a resin fishing line or a rubber thread, may be used. In a case where a kite string is used, it may be coated with a cover film to adjust the friction force of the kite string to the desired level. Moreover, the diameter of thethreadlike material 16 may be partially enlarged to form enlarged diameter sections at a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction of thethreadlike material 16 as appropriate to, for example, strengthen the winding state of thebanknote 2 around thewinding drum 12. - The number of the
threadlike materials 16 supplied from thesupply reel 11 is not limited to two, and a configuration may be such that the two or morethreadlike materials 16 are supplied. Furthermore, although the twothreadlike materials 16 are supplied from thesingle supply reel 11 according to the present embodiment, the twosupply reels 11 supplying the singlethreadlike material 16 may be provided. In this case, there is no limitation on the configuration that the twosupply reels 11 are provided around the same rotary shaft, and each of the twosupply reels 11 may be provided at a different position around an independent rotary shaft. The use of thethreadlike material 16 may improve the degree of freedom of the supplying structure described above. - As illustrated in
FIG. 3 andFIG. 6 , thesupply reel 11 is supported by arotary shaft 11a and is rotationally driven by a driving mechanism (not illustrated). The windingdrum 12 is supported by arotary shaft 12a and is rotationally driven by a driving mechanism (not illustrated). Although therotary shaft 11a of thesupply reel 11 is arranged parallel to therotary shaft 12a of the windingdrum 12 according to the embodiment, therotary shaft 11a of thesupply reel 11 may be arranged in any direction with respect to therotary shaft 12a of the windingdrum 12 in accordance with a space within thebanknote storing apparatus 5. - As illustrated in
FIG. 6 , theguide mechanism 13 includes aguide roller 17, a pair of anupper conveyance roller 18, and alower conveyance roller 19, along the conveyance path of thethreadlike material 16. Theguide roller 17 is supported by asupport shaft 17a and has thethreadlike materials 16, which are supplied from thesupply reel 11 placed thereon. As illustrated inFIG. 3 andFIG. 4 , the outer circumference of theguide roller 17 is provided with aguide groove 17b extending in a circumferential direction to guide thethreadlike material 16. Theguide grooves 17b are formed at both ends of the outer circumference of theguide roller 17 in the axial direction. The twothreadlike materials 16 are supported at the inside of theguide grooves 17b of theguide roller 17 and are guided by theguide grooves 17b in a desired conveying direction. - Thus, the conveying direction of the
threadlike material 16 may be optionally adjusted in accordance with the extending direction of theguide groove 17b, which is formed on the outer circumference of theguide roller 17, the attitude of theguide roller 17, e.g., the direction of theguide roller 17 in the axial direction. In other words, depending on the state of thethreadlike material 16 placed on theguide roller 17, the extending direction of thethreadlike material 16 supplied from the supply reel 11 (the extending direction of thethreadlike material 16 wound around the supply reel 11) may be different from the extending direction of thethreadlike material 16 wound around the winding drum 12 (the extending direction of thethreadlike material 16 returning from the winding drum 12). That is, the conveying direction of thethreadlike material 16 may be optionally set through theguide roller 17 so that the degree of freedom of the conveyance path of thethreadlike material 16 may be improved. - The
upper conveyance roller 18 is supported by asupport shaft 18a. Thelower conveyance roller 19 is supported by asupport shaft 19a, which is arranged parallel to thesupport shaft 18a. Theupper conveyance roller 18 and thelower conveyance roller 19 are rotationally driven by the driving mechanism (not illustrated) to convey thebanknote 2. Thethreadlike materials 16, which are supplied from thesupply reel 11 through theguide rollers 17, are placed on theupper conveyance roller 18. Thethreadlike materials 16, which are placed on theupper conveyance roller 18, are extended toward the windingdrum 12 and wound around the windingdrum 12 in the circumferential direction thereof. - The
upper conveyance roller 18 and thelower conveyance roller 19 are provided such that the outer circumferences are in contact with each other, so as to form a carry-in/outsection 20 that carries thebanknote 2 to/out of the windingdrum 12, as illustrated inFIG. 2 andFIG. 6 . Near theupper conveyance roller 18 and thelower conveyance roller 19, anupper guide member 21 and alower guide member 22 are provided to guide thebanknote 2 carried from the carry-in/outsection 20. The space, in which thebanknote 2 is delivered toward the windingdrum 12, is ensured between thelower guide member 22 and thethreadlike materials 16, which are placed on theupper conveyance roller 18 and extending toward the windingdrum 12. Furthermore, on the outer circumference side of the windingdrum 12, adetection member 23 is provided to detect the outer diameter of the windingdrum 12 that changes due to the winding of thebanknote 2 together with thethreadlike materials 16. - In the
banknote storing apparatus 5, a predetermined tensional force is applied to thethreadlike materials 16 coming from thesupply reel 11 and wound around the windingdrum 12 via theguide roller 17 and theupper conveyance roller 18 provided on the conveyance path of thethreadlike materials 16. -
FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B are front views that illustrate theguide mechanism 13 of thebanknote storing apparatus 5 according to the embodiment. As illustrated inFIG. 7A and FIG. 7B , theguide mechanism 13 includes aslide member 25 and acam member 26. Theslide member 25 changes the position of thethreadlike materials 16 wound around the outer circumference of thesupply reel 11 in the axial direction of thesupply reel 11. Thecam member 26 moves theslide member 25 back and forth in the axial direction (the Y-direction) of thesupply reel 11. - The
slide member 25 is formed in a rod-like shape extending along the axial direction of thesupply reel 11, and is supported by an undepicted support member so as to be movable in the axial direction (the Y-direction) of thesupply reel 11. Theslide member 25 includes a pair of the holdingparts 25a that hold thethreadlike materials 16, and afollower part 25b that follows thecam member 26. The holdingpart 25a is formed in a circular shape to have guide holes, through which thethreadlike materials 16 are passed. Furthermore, the holdingparts 25a may be configured to have a form like, for example, flanges instead of the guide hole so that thethreadlike materials 16 are supported between the flanges in a pair. - The
cam member 26 is a cylindrical cam provided around therotary shaft 11a of thesupply reel 11. As thecam member 26 is provided around therotary shaft 11a of thesupply reel 11, thecam member 26 moves theslide member 25 in conjunction with the rotation of thesupply reel 11. The outer circumference of thecam member 26 is provided with acam groove 26a that is engaged with thefollower part 25b. Thecam groove 26a is formed along the circumferential direction of thecam member 26 such that the position thereof in the axial direction (the Y-direction) of thecam member 26 gradually changes. As thefollower part 25b engaged with thecam groove 26a moves along thecam groove 26a in accordance with the rotation of thecam member 26, theslide member 25 moves back and forth in the Y-direction. Furthermore, thecam member 26 is not limited to a cylindrical cam, and other cam structures, such as a plate cam, may be used. -
FIG. 8A is a perspective view that schematically illustrates thedetector 14 in thebanknote storing apparatus 5 according to the embodiment. As illustrated inFIG. 3 ,FIG. 6 , andFIG. 8 , thedetector 14 is provided near the conveyance path of thethreadlike material 16 drawn from thesupply reel 11, and an optical sensor is used. As illustrated inFIG. 8A , the optical sensor as thedetector 14 includes: alight emitting unit 14a that emits a detection light; and alight receiving unit 14b that receives the detection light emitted by thelight emitting unit 14a. Thelight emitting unit 14a and thelight receiving unit 14b are provided such that they are opposed to each other with the conveyance path of thethreadlike material 16 interposed therebetween and with the space allowing the passage of thethreadlike material 16. - The
detector 14 detects the end part of thethreadlike material 16 to detect the supply amount of thethreadlike material 16 supplied from thesupply reel 11. The end part of thethreadlike material 16 is provided with a nodular light shielding member that bulges in the radial direction of thethreadlike material 16. Alight shielding member 28 is formed so as to pass through the guide hole of the holdingpart 25a of theslide member 25. Thedetector 14 emits the detection light to the outer circumference side of thelight shielding member 28 shifted in the radial direction of thethreadlike material 16, and detects the end part of thethreadlike material 16 when thelight shielding member 28 blocks the detection light. -
FIG. 8B is a perspective view that schematically illustrates a modification of thedetector 14 in thebanknote storing apparatus 5 according to the embodiment. Furthermore, as illustrated inFIG. 8B , the end part of thethreadlike material 16 may be provided with, for example, alight shielding film 29 that crosses the end parts of the twothreadlike materials 16. In this case, the pair of the holdingparts 25a of theslide member 25 is configured such that they are formed to have, for example, a hook-like shape, and they hold thethreadlike materials 16 at two sides in the array direction of the twothreadlike materials 16, so as not to prevent thelight shielding film 29 from passing by theslide member 25. Moreover, in this case, the interval between the twothreadlike materials 16 does not change over the conveyance path of thethreadlike materials 16. - Although the
light emitting unit 14a and thelight receiving unit 14b are provided such that they are opposed to each other via thethreadlike material 16 interposed therebetween, this configuration is not a limitation. For example, thelight emitting unit 14a and thelight receiving unit 14b may be provided on one side with respect to the conveyance path of thethreadlike material 16. In the case of this configuration, an optical member (not illustrated) may be provided on the other side with respect to thethreadlike material 16 such that it is opposed to thelight emitting unit 14a and thelight receiving unit 14b provided on one side with respect to thethreadlike material 16, and the optical member may be configured to reflect and guide the detection light emitted by thelight emitting unit 14a, so that the detection light is reflected to thelight receiving unit 14b. - Furthermore, in a case where a light-transmissive fishing line, e.g., a transparent nylon line, is used as the
threadlike material 16, the end part of the nylon line may be covered with a light shielding film, so that thedetector 14 is configured to detect the end part. In this case, thedetector 14 detects the end part as the light shielding film at the end part of thethreadlike material 16 blocks the detection light. Moreover, the end part of thethreadlike material 16 may be provided with a reflection section that reflects the detection light, so that thedetector 14 may detect the detection light reflected by the reflection section to detect the end part of thethreadlike material 16. - A storing operation to wind the
banknote 2 around the windingdrum 12 in thebanknote storing apparatus 5 having the above-described configuration is described. In thebanknote storing apparatus 5, thethreadlike materials 16, which are supplied from thesupply reel 11, are conveyed to theupper conveyance roller 18 through theguide rollers 17 and, together with thethreadlike materials 16 returned at theupper conveyance roller 18, thebanknote 2, which is carried into the carry-in/outsection 20, is wound around the windingdrum 12. In thebanknote storing apparatus 5, thethreadlike materials 16, which are supplied from thesupply reel 11, causes thebanknote 2, which is carried into the carry-in/outsection 20, to be wound and stored along the circumferential direction of the windingdrum 12. In thebanknote storing apparatus 5, the predetermined amount of thethreadlike material 16 is supplied from thesupply reel 11 and, when thedetector 14 detects the end part of thethreadlike material 16, the rotational driving of thesupply reel 11 and the windingdrum 12 is stopped. - Conversely, in the
banknote storing apparatus 5, the rotation direction of the windingdrum 12 and thesupply reel 11 is reversed with respect to the rotation direction during the above-described storing operation so that thebanknote 2 wound around the windingdrum 12 is carried through the carry-in/outsection 20, and thethreadlike materials 16 wound around the windingdrum 12 are wound around thesupply reel 11 again through theguide mechanism 13. At this point, as theguide mechanism 13 causes thecam member 26 to slide theslide member 25, the winding positions of thethreadlike materials 16 in the axial direction of thesupply reel 11 are smoothly changed. This allows thethreadlike materials 16 to be wound equally with respect to the axial direction of thesupply reel 11, which results in a stable winding state of thethreadlike materials 16 around thesupply reel 11 and a reduction in the space occupied by theentire supply reel 11 around which thethreadlike materials 16 are wound. - Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, a configuration is such that the
banknote 2 is wound around the windingdrum 12 with the twothreadlike materials 16; however, a configuration may be such that a supply reel (not illustrated) that supplies the twothreadlike materials 16 is further provided to hold thebanknote 2, so that thebanknote 2 carried into the carry-in/outsection 20 is wound around the windingdrum 12 while it is sandwiched between the upper and lowerthreadlike materials 16. In this case, the twothreadlike materials 16 holding thebanknote 2 from above and the twothreadlike materials 16 holding thebanknote 2 from beneath may be provided at different positions from each other in the axial direction of the windingdrum 12 as appropriate. That is, a configuration may be such that thebanknote 2 is wound around the windingdrum 12 while it is sandwiched between the fourthreadlike materials 16 from above and from beneath alternately in the axial direction of the windingdrum 12. -
FIG. 9 is a plan view that schematically illustrates a modification of the conveyance path of thethreadlike materials 16 in thebanknote storing apparatus 5 according to the embodiment. As illustrated inFIG. 9 , the conveying direction of thethreadlike materials 16 are bent to extend in any direction through theguide roller 17, whereby the axial direction of thesupply reel 11 may be set as appropriate with respect to the axial direction of the windingdrum 12. For example, the axial direction (the X-direction) of thesupply reel 11 is set to be perpendicular to the axial direction (the Y-direction) of the windingdrum 12, whereby the space inside thebanknote storing apparatus 5 may be efficiently used. -
FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram that illustrates an example in which the conveyance path of thethreadlike material 16 is changed by using a circular guide member in thebanknote storing apparatus 5 according to the embodiment. As illustrated inFIG. 10 , theguide mechanism 13 may include acircular guide member 31 that changes the conveying direction of thethreadlike material 16. Thecircular guide member 31 is formed in a cylindrical shape and is provided on the conveyance path of thethreadlike material 16. Thecircular guide member 31 has thethreadlike material 16 inserted through aninner circumference 31a thereof, so as to smoothly and easily change the direction of thethreadlike material 16 extending toward the windingdrum 12 and the direction of thethreadlike material 16 extending toward thesupply reel 11. - The
banknote storing apparatus 5 according to the embodiment includes: the windingdrum 12 around which thebanknote 2 together with thethreadlike materials 16, which are supplied from thesupply reel 11, are wound; and theguide mechanism 13 that guides thethreadlike materials 16 through the conveyance path. Thus, as thethreadlike materials 16 have no restrictions in the bending direction thereof in the conveyance path as compared with a tape used for winding thebanknote 2 around the windingdrum 12, the conveyance path of thethreadlike materials 16 between thesupply reel 11 and the windingdrum 12 may have more degree of freedom. Thus, according to the embodiment, higher degree of freedom in the arraignment of thesupply reel 11 relative to the windingdrum 12 allows the efficient use of the space inside thebanknote storing apparatus 5 and a reduction in the size of the entirebanknote storing apparatus 5. - Furthermore, with the use of the
threadlike material 16, the force for applying a certain tensional force to thethreadlike material 16 may be small as compared with a tape; thus, the size of a motor included in the driving mechanism for the windingdrum 12 and thesupply reel 11 may be reduced, and the size of the entirebanknote storing apparatus 5 may be reduced. - Furthermore, the
guide mechanism 13 in thebanknote storing apparatus 5 according to the embodiment includes theguide roller 17 whose outer circumference is provided with theguide grooves 17b that guide thethreadlike materials 16. This enables the appropriate guiding of thethreadlike materials 16, the setting of the conveying direction of thethreadlike materials 16 as appropriate, and higher degree of freedom in the conveyance path of thethreadlike materials 16. - Furthermore, the
guide mechanism 13 in thebanknote storing apparatus 5 according to the embodiment includes theslide member 25 that changes the positions of thethreadlike materials 16 wound around the outer circumference of thesupply reel 11 in the axial direction of thesupply reel 11. This makes it possible to equally wind thethreadlike materials 16 in the axial direction of thesupply reel 11 and obtain the stable winding state of thethreadlike materials 16 around thesupply reel 11. Furthermore, as the space occupied by theentire supply reel 11 having thethreadlike materials 16 wound therearound is reduced so that the size of the entirebanknote storing apparatus 5 may be further reduced. - Furthermore, the
guide mechanism 13 in thebanknote storing apparatus 5 according to the embodiment includes thecam member 26 that moves theslide member 25 back and forth in the axial direction of thesupply reel 11. The outer circumference of thecam member 26 is provided with thecam groove 26a that is engaged with thefollower part 25b of theslide member 25. Thus, it is possible to appropriately change the winding positions of thethreadlike materials 16 wound around thesupply reel 11. - Furthermore, the
cam member 26 of theguide mechanism 13 in thebanknote storing apparatus 5 according to the embodiment is a cylindrical cam provided around therotary shaft 11a of thesupply reel 11. Thus, the structure that moves theslide member 25 in conjunction with the rotation of thesupply reel 11 may be a simple structure, and the size of theguide mechanism 13 may be reduced. - Moreover, the
guide mechanism 13 in thebanknote storing apparatus 5 according to the embodiment includes thecircular guide member 31 that has thethreadlike material 16 inserted through theinner circumference 31a to change the conveying direction of thethreadlike material 16. This makes it possible to smoothly and easily change the direction of thethreadlike material 16 extending toward the windingdrum 12 and the direction of thethreadlike material 16 extending toward thesupply reel 11, and therefore the conveyance path of thethreadlike material 16 may be easily formed. -
