FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing the operation of the tiltable guide according to the first embodiment. First, the operation of the tiltable guide accompanying the movement of the temporary holding plate 6 will be described. When the temporary holding plate 6 is moved in the direction of arrow A by the carrier 11 from the state where the temporary holding plate 6 is in the banknote storage 7 as shown by the solid line in FIG. Hit.

When the temporary holding plate 6 is further moved in the direction of arrow A, the tiltable guide 1 rotates about the fulcrum 2 and falls down as shown in FIG. At this time, when the cam 3 also rotates, the contact portion of the arm portion 4b of the torsion coil spring 4 located in the direction in which the collapsible guide 1 falls down moves from the side surface of the cam 3 to the vertex, whereby the arm portion 4b Is spread out and twisted in the direction in which the coil portion 4a is involved. The position of the side of the arm 4c does not change because the contact point moves from the side surface of the cam 3 to the bottom. Therefore, when the tiltable guide 1 is tilted, a force for returning the tiltable guide 1 to the vertical position is applied by the torsion coil spring 4.

When the temporary holding plate 6 is further moved in the direction of the arrow A from the state where the folding guide 1 is pushed down by the projection 10a, and the projection 10a passes through the folding guide 1, the folding guide 1 becomes a coil of the torsion coil spring 4. It returns to the vertical position by the force stored by twisting the part 4a in the winding direction and the force pressing the cam 3 due to the bending of the arm part 4b. When the retractable guide 1 returns to the vertical position, the arm portion 4b and the arm portion 4c of the torsion coil spring 4 stably stop at the vertical position due to the force holding the cam 3 therebetween.

When the temporary holding plate 6 is returned in the direction of the arrow B from the state where the reversible guide 1 is pushed down by the projection 10a, the reversible guide 1 is again returned to the vertical position by the torsion coil spring 4. When the temporary holding plate 6 is moved in the direction of arrow B by the carrier 11 from the state where the temporary holding plate 6 is outside the banknote storage 7 as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG.
a strikes the folding guide 1.

Further, as the temporary holding plate 6 continues to move in the direction of arrow B, the tiltable guide 1 rotates around the fulcrum 2 and falls down as shown in FIG. At this time, as the cam 3 also rotates, the contact portion of the arm 4c of the torsion coil spring 4 located in the direction in which the reversible guide 1 falls down moves from the side surface of the cam 3 to the vertex, whereby the arm 4c Is spread out and twisted in the direction in which the coil portion 4a is involved. The position of the side of the arm 4b does not change because the contact point moves from the side surface of the cam 3 to the bottom. Therefore, when the tiltable guide 1 is tilted, a force for returning the tiltable guide 1 to the vertical position is applied by the torsion coil spring 4.

When the temporary holding plate 6 is further moved in the direction of arrow B from the state in which the folding guide 1 is pushed down by the projection 10a, and the projection 10a passes through the folding guide 1, the folding guide 1 becomes a coil of the torsion coil spring 4. It returns to the vertical position by the force stored by twisting the part 4a in the winding direction and the force pushing the cam 3 due to the bending of the arm part 4c. When the retractable guide 1 returns to the vertical position, the arm portion 4b and the arm portion 4c of the torsion coil spring 4 stably stop at the vertical position due to the force holding the cam 3 therebetween.

When the temporary holding plate 6 is returned in the direction of arrow A from the state where the reversible guide 1 is pushed down by the projection 10a, the reversible guide 1 is again returned to the vertical position by the torsion coil spring 4. As described above, the retractable guide 1 is
When the force to push down from outside is applied by a or the like, the device falls down to the right or left depending on the direction in which the force is applied, and returns to the vertical position by the force of the torsion coil spring 4 when the force from outside is no longer applied.

In the operation of the tiltable guide 1 described above, when the tiltable guide 1 falls, there is no space required for the torsion coil spring except that one arm of the torsion coil spring 4 is pushed open. Therefore, the sensor G and the like can be provided directly below the spring post 5. Next, a deposit / withdrawal operation in the bill storage will be described.

At the time of deposit, a control unit (not shown) checks whether or not the temporary holding plate 6 is located in the bill storage 7 based on the operation history or the output of the sensor or the like stored in the storage means. The bill storage box 7 whose plate 6 is indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG.
If it is located outside, control the motor not shown,
The temporary holding plate 6 is moved by the carrier 11 in the direction of arrow B, and is moved to the position shown by the solid line in FIG.

At this time, the projection 10a abuts on the tiltable guide 1, but as described with reference to FIG. 4B, the tiltable guide 1 is pushed down by the movement of the projection 10a in the direction of arrow B.
There is no hindrance to the movement of the temporary holding plate 6. And
When the projection 10a moves away from the pushed-down guide 1, the tip-down guide 1 is returned to the vertical position by the torsion coil spring 4, and can function as a guide.

Next, the stage 14 is moved in the direction of arrow C. If the bills 15 are not accumulated on the stage 14, the stage 14 is moved directly to the stage 13. The temporary holding plate 6 is pushed up in the direction of arrow C via the bill 15. Temporary holding plate 6
Is supported by the protrusions 10a and 10b resting on the recesses 11a of the carrier 11, but since the recesses 11a are open at the top, the temporary holding plate 6 is pushed up in the direction of the arrow C so that the protrusions 10a and 10b 10b is detached from the concave portion 11a of the carrier 11, and can be raised to a position higher than the carrier 11. Therefore, the temporary holding plate 6 is pushed up by the stage 14 and positioned at a predetermined height. In addition, a groove for moving the protrusions 10a and 10b is formed on both side plates of the banknote storage 7.

When the temporary holding plate 6 is positioned at a predetermined height, the feeding roller 18 and the paper feeding roller 19
, And discharges the bills fed from a transport path (not shown) onto the temporary holding plate 6. In addition, by lowering the stage 23 by a predetermined amount in the direction of arrow D in accordance with the number of stacked banknotes 9 on the temporary holding plate 6, the temporary holding plate 6 is lowered to make space necessary for stacking.

When the deposit transaction is completed, the temporary holding plate 9
When the banknotes 9 stacked above are to be transferred onto the stage 15, the temporary holding plate 6 is lowered by lowering the stage 14 by a predetermined amount in the direction of arrow D, and the projections 10a and 10b are
It is placed on the first recess 11a. Next, the temporary holding plate 6 is moved in the direction of arrow A by the carrier 11. At this time, the projection 10a abuts on the tiltable guide 1. However, as described with reference to FIG. 4A, the tiltable guide 1 is pushed down by the movement of the projection 10a in the direction of the arrow A, thereby preventing the temporary holding plate 6 from moving. Never be. When the projection 10a is separated from the pushed-down guide 1, the guide 1 is returned to the vertical position by the torsion coil spring 4 and can function as a guide.

When the temporary holding plate 6 moves to a position indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 2, the bills 9 on the temporary holding plate 6 fall onto the stage 14. At this time, the lower end of the bill guide 17, the upper end of the bill guide 18, and the upper and lower ends of the guide surface of the folding guide 1 are inclined surfaces, and the height of the guide surface of each guide is the same. The banknote 9 can be smoothly delivered and the banknote 9 can be smoothly moved from the temporary holding unit 8 to the banknote storage unit 13. Since the folding guide 1 closes the space between the upper end 12a and the lower end 12b of the access hole 12 in the access hole 12, the bill is not caught in the access hole 12, and the bill is not broken. Therefore, no integration failure occurs, and the reliability is improved.

When the banknotes 9 accumulated on the temporary holding plate 6 need to be paid out, the temporary holding plate 6 is also raised by raising the stage 14 in the direction of arrow C. The bill 9 is pressed against the feed roller 18. Then, the feeding roller 18 and the paper feeding roller 19
Is rotated in the direction of arrow E, whereby the banknotes 9 on the temporary holding plate 6 are fed out one by one.

At the time of dispensing, first, the position of the temporary holding plate 6 is confirmed, and when the temporary holding plate 6 is located in the banknote storage 7 as shown by the solid line in FIG. Move to At this time, the projection 10a is
4A, the retractable guide 1 is pushed down by the movement of the protrusion 10a in the direction of the arrow A, and does not hinder the movement of the temporary holding plate 6. When the projection 10a is separated from the pushed-down guide 1, the guide 1 is returned to the vertical position by the torsion coil spring 4 and can function as a guide.

When the temporary holding plate 6 moves to the position shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 2, the stage 14 is raised, and the bills 15 on the stage 14 are pressed against the feeding roller 18.
By rotating the feeding roller 18 and the paper feeding roller 19 in the direction of arrow E, the bill 1 on the stage 14 is rotated.
5 is fed out one by one. At this time, the bill guide 1
7, the upper end of the bill guide 18 and the upper and lower ends of the guide surface of the folding guide 1 are inclined surfaces, and the guide surfaces of the respective guides have the same height. The bill 15 can be smoothly moved from the bill storage unit 13 to the temporary holding unit 8. In the access hole 12, the retractable guide 1 is connected to the access hole 1.
Since the space between the upper end 12a and the lower end 12b of the second bill is closed, the bill does not get caught in the entrance / exit hole 12, and the bill does not break. Therefore, the feeding failure does not occur, and the reliability is improved.

As described above, since the folding guide 1 for closing the access hole 12 necessary for the temporary holding plate 6 to enter and exit the banknote storage 7 is provided, the banknote storage unit 13 and the temporary holding unit 8 Between the bills can be smoothly delivered. Also, there is no space required for the torsion coil spring, except that one arm of the torsion coil spring 4 is pushed open when the reversible guide 1 falls down. Therefore, a sensor or the like can be provided directly below the spring post 5, and the bill storage 7 can be reduced in size.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory view showing a second embodiment of the folding guide according to the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 21 denotes a folding guide, which is supported by a fulcrum 2 through a long hole 21a.
Rotate around. Reference numeral 3 denotes a cam formed integrally with the folding guide 2. Reference numeral 4 denotes a torsion coil spring, and a coil portion 4a is fitted to a spring post 5 provided immediately below the fulcrum 2.

The torsion coil spring 4 has a coil portion 4a
Two arms 4b and 4c protrude from both ends of
The cam 3 is sandwiched between the two arms 4b and 4c. The cam 3 has a shape in which the apex protrudes, and the side and the bottom have the same diameter from the fulcrum 2. The lower end of the tiltable guide 21 is in contact with the spring post 5 when the tiltable guide 21 is in the vertical position.
1 is provided with a projection 21b for positioning.

The tiltable guide 2 according to the second embodiment described above.
1 is also attached to the banknote storage 7 described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3 as a guide in the access hole 12, and the folding guide in FIGS. 2 and 3 will be described below. The folding guide 2 according to the second embodiment is replaced with the folding guide 21 according to the movement of the temporary holding plate 6.
1 will be described. Here, FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing the operation of the tiltable guide according to the second embodiment.

First, when the retractable guide 21 is in the vertical position, the projecting portion 21b rides on the outer peripheral portion of the spring post 5 as shown in FIG. The fulcrum 2 is stationary with the fulcrum 2 approaching the lower end of the hole 21a. In this state, the folding guide 21
Closes the lower end 12b from the upper end 12a of the access hole 12 of the banknote storage 7.

When the temporary holding plate 6 is moved in the direction of arrow A by the carrier 11 from the state where the temporary holding plate 6 is in the banknote storage 7 as shown by the solid line in FIG. It hits the falling guide 21. Further, when the temporary holding plate 6 continues to move in the direction of the arrow A, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 7, the tiltable guide 21 rotates around the fulcrum 2 and falls down. At this time, the cam 3 also rotates, so that the torsion coil spring 4 is positioned in the direction in which the tiltable guide 21 falls down.
The contact portion of the arm portion 4b moves from the side surface of the cam 3 to the vertex, whereby the arm portion 4b is pushed open and the coil portion 4
a is twisted in the direction in which it is involved. The rotation of the retractable guide 21 prevents the protrusion 21b from coming into contact with the spring post 5, so that the retractable guide 21 is stored by twisting in the direction in which the coil portion 4a of the torsion coil spring 4 is wound. The fulcrum 2 is brought closer to the upper end of the elongated hole 21a by the force and the force pressing the cam 3 due to the bending of the arm 4b. Thus, the outer trajectory of the retractable guide 21 is reduced. The arm portion 4c of the torsion coil spring 4 is expanded by the amount that the entire collapsible guide 21 is pushed down.

Therefore, when the tiltable guide 21 is tilted, a force for returning the tiltable guide 21 to the vertical position is applied by the torsion coil spring 4. When the temporary holding plate 6 is further moved in the direction of the arrow A from the state in which the folding guide 21 is pushed down by the projection 10a, and the projection 10a passes through the folding guide 21, the folding guide 21 causes the coil portion 4a of the torsion coil spring 4 to move. It returns to the vertical position by the force stored by twisting in the winding direction and the force pushing the cam 3 due to the bending of the arm 4b. At this time, since the protrusion 21b is in contact with the spring guide 5, the collapsible guide 21 is pushed up to a position where the fulcrum 2 comes to the lower end of the long hole 21a. When the retractable guide 1 returns to the vertical position, the arm portion 4b and the arm portion 4c of the torsion coil spring 4 stably stop at the vertical position due to the force holding the cam 3 therebetween.

When the temporary holding plate 6 is returned in the direction of arrow B from the state where the folding guide 21 is pushed down by the projection 10a,
Again, the retractable guide 21 is returned to the vertical position by the torsion coil spring 4. From the state where the temporary holding plate 6 is outside the banknote storage 7 as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG.
When the temporary holding plate 6 is moved in the direction of arrow B, the projection 10a abuts on the tiltable guide 21 at the vertical position.

When the temporary holding plate 6 continues to move in the direction of arrow B, the tiltable guide 21 rotates around the fulcrum 2 and falls down as shown in FIG. At this time, as the cam 3 also rotates, the contact portion of the arm portion 4c of the torsion coil spring 4 located in the direction in which the collapsible guide 21 falls down moves from the side surface of the cam 3 to the vertex, whereby the arm portion 4c Is spread out and twisted in the direction in which the coil portion 4a is involved. Then, since the protrusion 21b does not come into contact with the spring post 5 by the rotation of the retractable guide 21,
The fulcrum 2 comes closer to the upper end of the elongated hole 21a by the force stored in the retractable guide 21 by twisting the coil portion 4a of the torsion coil spring 4 in the winding direction and the force pressing the cam 3 due to the bending of the arm portion 4c. State. Thus, the outer trajectory of the retractable guide 21 is reduced. In addition, the arm part 4b of the torsion coil spring 4 is expanded by the amount by which the entire collapsible guide 21 is pushed down.

Accordingly, when the tiltable guide 21 is tilted, a force for returning the tiltable guide 21 to the vertical position is applied by the torsion coil spring 4. When the temporary holding plate 6 is further moved in the direction of arrow B from the state where the folding guide 21 is pushed down by the projection 10a and the projection 10a passes through the folding guide 21, the folding guide 21 moves the coil portion 4a of the torsion coil spring 4 It returns to the vertical position by the force stored by twisting in the winding direction and the force pushing the cam 3 due to the bending of the arm 4c. At this time, since the protrusion 21b is in contact with the spring guide 5, the collapsible guide 21 is pushed up to a position where the fulcrum 2 comes to the lower end of the long hole 21a. When the retractable guide 1 returns to the vertical position, the arm portion 4b and the arm portion 4c of the torsion coil spring 4 stably stop at the vertical position due to the force holding the cam 3 therebetween.

When the temporary holding plate 6 is returned in the direction of arrow B from the state where the folding guide 21 is pushed down by the projection 10a,
Again, the retractable guide 21 is returned to the vertical position by the torsion coil spring 4. As described above, the tiltable guide 21 is tilted to the right or left depending on the direction in which the force is applied by applying a force to push down from the outside by the projection 10a or the like. It returns to the vertical position by the force of the coil spring 4.

In the operation of the tiltable guide 1 described above, when the tiltable guide 21 falls down, there is no space required by the torsion coil spring except that one arm of the torsion coil spring 4 is pushed open. Therefore, the spring post 5
May be provided directly below the sensor G. Further, the retractable guide 21 is supported on the fulcrum 2 via the elongated hole 21a, and when it is in the vertical position, it is positioned in a state where it is pushed up by the projection 21b so as to function as a guide. Since the radius is reduced, it is possible to extend the guides H, I, and the like to the vicinity near the upper side of the retractable guide 21.

The entire depositing / dispensing operation in the banknote storage 7 is the same as that described in the first embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted here, but the lower end of the banknote guide 17, the upper end of the banknote guide 18, and The upper and lower ends of the guide surface of the retractable guide 21 are inclined surfaces, and the height of the guide surface of each guide is the same, so that the transfer of bills between each guide can be performed smoothly, and the bill storage unit 13 and The bill can be moved smoothly with the temporary holding unit 8. In the access hole 12, the foldable guide 21 is connected to the upper end 1 of the access hole 12.
Since the space from 2a to the lower end 12b is closed, the banknote does not get caught in the entrance / exit hole 12, the banknote does not break, and the reliability is improved.

The retractable guide 21 is provided on the temporary holding plate 6.
When turning down by opening and closing, the turning radius becomes smaller,
The distance between the bill guides 17 and 18 can be reduced, and the size of the bill storage 7 can be reduced.
