It has. The banknote deposit machine provided with the banknote stacking device according to the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above receives and processes bills deposited in the banknote deposit machine by a customer as follows.

First, when a customer inputs a predetermined instruction signal to an input means (not shown), the CPU 250
00, a drive signal is output to the solenoid 142 and the solenoid 112 to open the shutter 2 and the first shutter 7 and to make the third shutter 9 protrude into the bill conveyance path in the drum 4. Here, the bill placement table 3 of the transaction port 1
The length from the end opposite to the drum 4 to the center of the bill conveyance path from which the third shutter 9 protrudes is the length of the long side of the longest bill among the bills to be processed. From the end of the bill placement table 3 opposite to the drum 4, the end on the transaction port 1 side of the bill conveyance path formed by the driving endless belt 5 and the driven endless belt 6. The length of the bill to be processed is set to be smaller than the length of the long side of the banknote whose long side is the minimum among the banknotes to be processed. A certain bill is almost completely stored in the third shutter 9.
A part of the bill which is accommodated between the third shutter 9 and the end opposite to the drum 4 of the bill placement table 3 so as to contact with the third bill 9 is also partially driven endless. It is accommodated between the third shutter 9 and the end of the bill placing table 3 opposite to the drum 4 so as to be placed on the belt 5.

Next, when the customer places the bills on the bill placement table 3 and the drive endless belt 5 in the transaction port 1 and inputs an instruction signal for depositing into the input means,
The CPU 250 outputs a drive signal to the solenoid 112, retracts the third shutter 9 held at a position protruding into the bill transport path from the bill transport path, outputs a drive signal to the motor 122, and outputs a driven endless The belt 6 is moved. Here, some of the banknotes with the shortest long sides are also
All bills are housed between the third shutter 9 and the end of the bill placement table 3 opposite to the drum 4 so as to be placed on the drive endless belt 5, so that all bills are 5 and the driven endless belt 6. Further, the CPU 250 outputs a driving signal to the motor 131 to drive the driving endless belt 5, thereby taking in the bills sandwiched between the driving endless belt 5 and the driven endless belt 6 into the drum 4. When the bill is taken into the drum 4, the CPU 250 outputs a drive signal to the motor 100 and the solenoid 142, closes the shutter 2 and the first shutter 7, and outputs a drive signal to the motor 126, and outputs a drive signal to the motor 126. Is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise from the position shown in FIG.

Next, the CPU 250 outputs a drive signal to the motor 180, drives the motor 180 until the sensor 183 is operated by the sensor operation plate 185 and the operation signal is input to the CPU 250, and connects the fixed endless belt 11 with the motor 180. The driving endless belt 12 is shown in FIGS.
Separate as shown in 5. At the same time, the CPU 250
Outputs a drive signal to the solenoid 160 to drive the solenoid 160. As a result, the plunger 161 is retracted, and the link 162, the arm 163, the arm 16
3 via the roller 167 and the connecting member 166 at the front end,
The bill holding plate 13 urged toward the driving endless belt 11 by the spring 158 is retracted rearward from the surface of the driven endless belt 12 on the driving endless belt 11 side against the spring force of the spring 158. You. Thereafter, the CPU 250 outputs a drive signal to the solenoid 142 to open the first shutter 7 and
1 to output a drive signal to drive the drive endless belt 5 and send out the bills sandwiched between the drive endless belt 5 and the driven endless belt 6 from the drum, and the bills are sent out by a predetermined length. Then, a stop signal is output to the motor 131 to stop the motor 131.

Next, the CPU 250 outputs a drive signal to the motor 180, and drives the motor 180 in the reverse direction until the sensor 184 is operated by the sensor operation plate 185 and the operation signal is input to the CPU 250. as a result,
The cam follower 186 is pushed rightward in FIG. 17 by the cam 182, and the drive arm 188 swings clockwise around the shaft 187, and is connected to the drive arm 188 via the spring 189. The moving arm 190 is also a shaft 1.
The arm 190 is swung clockwise around 87 so as to swing.
Shaft 15 engaged with a concave portion 191 formed at the tip of the shaft 15
3b is moved in the horizontal direction along the opening 192 of the unit side plate 150, and accordingly, the driven endless belt 12 is moved toward the driving endless belt 11. Until the sensor 184 is operated by the sensor operation plate 185 and the operation signal is input to the CPU 250, the drive arm 188 is swung clockwise around the axis 187 by the motor 180. The movement is stopped at a position where the driven endless belt 12 is hindered by the bills sandwiched between the driving endless belt 5 and the driven endless belt 6, and at a position corresponding to the number of bills. As a result, the driven endless belt 12 is urged toward the driving endless belt 11 by the spring force of the spring 189, and the banknote is reliably held between the driven endless belt 12 and the driving endless belt 11. Thereafter, the CPU 250 sets the motor 131 and the motor 207
The driving endless belt 5 and the driving endless belt 11 are driven to drive the driving endless belt 5 and the driven endless belt 6, and the bills sandwiched between the driving endless belt 11 and the driven endless belt 12 are billed. It is sent into the unit 10.

When a bill is detected by the sensor 196 and a detection signal is input, the CPU 250 outputs a stop signal to the motor 131 and the motor 207 to stop the driving endless belt 5 and the driving endless belt 11, and at the same time, By outputting a stop signal to the solenoid 160,
The driving of the solenoid 160 is stopped. As a result, the bill holding plate 13 presses the bill with the spring force of the spring 158. Thereafter, CPU 250 outputs a drive signal to motor 180 to drive motor 180 in the forward direction. With the driving of the motor 180 in the forward direction, the driven endless belt 12 starts to separate from the driving endless belt 11, and the bill holding plate 13 moves to the driven endless belt 12.
Rather, the bill protrudes toward the drive endless belt 11 and pinches the banknote with the drive endless belt 11. The motor 180 is rotated in the forward direction, and the driven endless belt 1 is rotated.
2 moves away from the driving endless belt 11, the bill holding plate 13 is also gradually separated from the driving endless belt 11, and as a result, the sensor 171 is operated by the sensor operating plate 170 provided on the bill holding plate 13. Then, an operation signal is output to the CPU 250 and the CPU 2
50 outputs a stop signal to the motor 180,
The drive of 80 is stopped. FIG. 21 shows a state in which an operation signal is output from the sensor 171 to the CPU 250 and the motor 180 is stopped. In this state, the force applied to the bill from the bill holding plate 13 and the driving endless belt 11 becomes substantially zero, and therefore, the bill falls on the lower end plate 14 by its own weight. At the time of the drop, the leading end of the bill is substantially aligned along the upper surface of the lower end plate 14 by the force applied from the lower end plate 14 to the leading end of the bill. After a predetermined time has elapsed since the output of the stop signal to the motor 180, the CPU 250 outputs a drive signal to the motor 180 to drive the motor 180 in the reverse direction for a predetermined time. As a result, the bill whose leading end is located on the lower end plate 14 is again sandwiched by the bill holding plate 13 and the driving endless belt 11. After that, the CPU 250 outputs a drive signal to the motor 80 to drive the motor 180 in the forward direction.
Is operated, and when an operation signal is input to the CPU 250, a stop signal is output to the motor 180. Furthermore, CP
U250 outputs a drive signal to the motor 180 after a predetermined time has elapsed, drives the motor 180 in the reverse direction for a predetermined time, outputs a stop signal to the motor 180, and outputs the bill holding plate 13 and the drive endless belt 11 Is stopped by the motor 180 in a state in which the banknotes are held.

As described above, the bill is repeatedly held and released by the bill holding plate 13 and the driving endless belt 11, so that the bill is vibrated and the leading end of the bill is moved along the upper surface of the lower end plate 14. To be aligned. In this way, the deposited banknotes are inserted into the banknote holding plate 13,
After being held by the lower end plate 14 and the driving endless belt 11, the CPU 250 transfers the bill to the bill depositing unit 10
First, to feed out one by one, first, the motor 208
To the first banknote transport unit 23, the second banknote transport unit 25, and the third banknote transport unit 27, and the impeller 32 of the first banknote stacking device 30,
, The impeller 832 of the banknote stacking device 80 and the impeller 92 of the safe 90 are rotated. Next, the CPU 250 outputs a drive signal to the solenoid 218, opens the shutter 15, outputs a drive signal to the motor 207, and drives the drive endless belt 11. As a result, a predetermined number of banknotes located on the driving endless belt 11 side are sent out toward the feeding roller 16.

In synchronization with the delivery of the bills, the electromagnetic brake 402 is released, the electromagnetic clutch 400 is driven, the payout roller 16 is rotated, and the bills are fed out one by one from the bill depositing unit 10. Feeding roller 1
6, a large diameter portion, a small diameter portion, and a large diameter portion (not shown) are formed along the axis of the feeding roller 16; The small-diameter portion, the large-diameter portion, and the small-diameter portion (not shown) are formed so as to mesh with the large-diameter portion, the small-diameter portion, and the large-diameter portion of the roller 16. Thus, a force for separating the bills is applied to the bills, thereby preventing two or more bills from being fed out simultaneously. When two or more bills pass through the first bill separation unit, these bills are sent between the feed roller 16 and the transport roller 18a, but the frictional force generated between the bills is one. When a banknote is pinched between the feeding roller 16 and the conveying roller 18a, the conveying roller 1
Since the frictional force generated between the bill 8a and the bill is smaller, the torque applied to the transport roller 18a becomes less than a predetermined torque, and the transport roller 18a and the support shaft 18c are connected by the torque limiter 18b. As a result, due to the inertial force, the transport roller 18a stops, and only the banknote that is in contact with the feed roller 16 is transported toward the downstream side, and the banknote is
Each sheet is separated and two or more bills are prevented from being fed out simultaneously. However, since the peripheral surface of the feeding roller 16 is formed of a high-friction material, bills are separated one by one, but two or more bills may be partially overlapped and sent. . Accordingly, in the present embodiment, the bill thickness sensor 22 including the reference roller 19, the driven roller 20, and the rotary encoder 21 is used to control the movement of the driven roller 21 when the bill passes between the reference roller 19 and the driven roller 20. The amount of movement is detected by the rotary encoder 21, the thickness of the bill is detected, and a detection signal is output to the CPU 250.
The PU 250 determines, based on the input detection signal, that the thickness is at least twice the thickness of the banknote to be processed, and based on the detection signal input from the banknote thickness sensor 22, the banknote to be processed by the banknote thickness sensor 22. When the time for detecting a bill having a thickness of twice or more of the thickness of the bill is equal to or longer than a predetermined time, CP
U250 determines that it is difficult to separate two or more banknotes one by one, and separates them one by one, releases the electromagnetic clutch 400 for a predetermined time, and sets the electromagnetic brake It is configured to drive the roller 402 to temporarily stop the feeding roller 16. As a result, the leading banknote has already passed through the gap between the feed roller 16 and the transport roller 18a at the rear end, so that only the preceding banknote is fed by the feed roller 1a.
The first banknote transport path 23 is transported toward the downstream side by the transport rollers 23a rotated at a speed higher than 6 and the banknotes can be reliably separated one by one. Become.

On the other hand, a bill having a thickness of at least twice the thickness of the bill to be processed is detected. If the detection time is shorter than a predetermined time, the overlap of the bills is small and the preceding bill is Since the bills are considered to be separated one by one by being conveyed at a high speed by the conveying roller 23a rotating at a higher speed than the feeding roller 16, the CPU 250 does not output any signal. Instead, continue processing the bill. Therefore, the CPU 250 releases the electromagnetic clutch 400 and the electromagnetic brake 402
The predetermined time for determining whether or not to drive is determined by whether or not two or more bills are overlapped to such an extent that they cannot be separated by the transport roller 23a rotating at high speed. Therefore, the rotation speed of the feed-out roller 16, the rotation speed of the transport roller 23a, the maximum length and the minimum length of the bill to be processed, and the material are different. It can be set to the time required to detect a half length, for example. From the banknote deposit unit 10,
When no detection signal is input from the bill thickness sensor 22 that detects the thickness of the fed bill one by one, CP
U250 further outputs a drive signal to the motor 207 to rotate the drive endless belt 11, and again a predetermined number of bills located on the drive endless belt 11 side.
It is sent out to the feeding roller 16. In the first banknote transporter 23, the banknote is sent toward the rear of the banknote deposit machine while the direction of the banknote is corrected so that the long side of the banknote matches the transport direction, and the second banknote is fed. Transport unit 25
Passed to. The banknote delivered to the second banknote transport unit 25 is determined by the banknote discriminating unit 24 provided at the start end of the second banknote transport unit 25 whether or not it is acceptable, and if it is acceptable, the denomination Is determined, a determination signal is output to the CPU 250, and the number of sheets for each denomination is counted.

Further, the bill is delivered to the second bill transporting unit 25, and is transported upward, and then forwardly of the bill depositing machine. When the bill discriminated by the bill discriminating unit 24 to be unacceptable reaches the first gate member 26 provided at the terminal end of the second bill conveying unit 25, the CP
The U250 outputs a drive signal to the first gate drive unit 215 to drive the first gate member 26, and sends unacceptable bills into the first bill accumulation device 30. At this point, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, the mounting unit 38 is held upward, and the pair of upper drive endless belts 34 is connected to the pair of lower drive endless belts 33.
From the banknote stacking plate 7
0 is located above the upper surface of the drive endless belt 33, and the bill holding plate 35
0 is in contact with the upper surface. Therefore, the bill discriminating unit 24
Thus, the banknotes determined to be unacceptable are sent into the first banknote stacking device 30 while being guided along the lower surface of the banknote holding plate 35. Sensor 39 provided at the entrance
However, when the rear end of the unacceptable bill is detected, a detection signal is output to the CPU 250, and the CPU 250
After a lapse of a predetermined time after receiving the detection signal from 9, a driving signal is output to the solenoid 65, and the tip of the bill pressing plate 35 is pressed toward the bill stacking plate 70. As a result, the leading end of the unacceptable bill is stopped at a predetermined position, and the trailing end is scraped off by the impeller 32 rotated by the motor 208, and the trailing end of the bill is moved to the impeller. The bills are accumulated in the first bill accumulating device 30 so as to be aligned along the wall on the side where 32 is provided.

On the other hand, when the banknotes determined by the banknote determination section 24 to be acceptable reach the first gate member 26, the CPU 250 outputs a reverse drive signal to the first gate drive means 215 to output the first gate drive means 215. Is driven in the reverse direction, and the acceptable banknotes are further transferred to the third banknote transport unit 27 and transported upward. When the banknote determined to be acceptable reaches the second gate member 28, the CPU 250 outputs a drive signal to the second gate drive means 216 to drive the second gate member 28,
The acceptable bill is sent into the second bill accumulator 80. On the other hand, when the bill determined to be acceptable by the bill determination unit 24 reaches the first gate member 26, the CPU
250 outputs a reverse drive signal to the first gate drive means 215 to drive the first gate member 26 in the reverse direction, and further passes the acceptable bills to the third bill transport unit 27, and To be transported. When the banknote determined to be acceptable reaches the second gate member 28, CP
The U250 outputs a drive signal to the second gate drive means 216 to drive the second gate member 28 and send acceptable bills into the second bill accumulating device 80. The acceptable banknotes are sent into the first banknote stacking device 80 while being guided along the lower surface of the banknote holding plate 835. Sensor 839 provided at the entrance of second banknote stacking device 80
However, when the rear end of the acceptable bill is detected, a detection signal is output to the CPU 250, and the CPU 250
After a predetermined time has passed since the detection signal was received from 39, a drive signal is output to the solenoid 214, and the bill pressing plate 8
The tip of 35 is pressed downward. As a result, the leading end of the acceptable bill is stopped at a predetermined position, and the trailing end is scraped off by the impeller 832 being rotated by the motor 208, and the trailing end of the bill is moved to the impeller. The bills are accumulated in the second bill accumulating device 80 so as to be aligned along the wall portion on which the 832 is provided. Sensor 1
Based on the detection signal input from the banknote recognition unit 95 and the detection signal input from the sensor 196 and the detection signal input from the banknote discriminating unit 24, the banknote finally fed out from the banknote depositing unit 10 becomes the first banknote stacking device 30 and the second banknote stacking unit. When it is determined that the bills have been conveyed to any one of the devices 80 and then based on the detection signal of the sensor 39, it is determined that bills have been accumulated in the first bill accumulating device, the CPU 250 sends a drive signal to the motor 211. Is output to rotate the motor shaft 54, and the mounting unit 38 and the pair of upper drive endless belts 34 are rotated.
To move down. At this time, the driving force transmission pulley 302 is also moved downward together with the upper driving endless belt 34. However, since the one-way clutch 330 is provided between the driving force transmission pulley 302 and the support shaft 325, the driving force transmission pulley 302 is driven. The frictional resistance between the transmission pulley 302 and the round belt 320 prevents the driving force transmission pulley 302 from rotating. A pair of upper drive endless belts 34
As a result, the unacceptable banknotes accumulated in the first banknote accumulating device 30 form a pair of upper drive endless belts 34 and a pair of lower drive endless belts 33.
And sandwiched by. At this time, the bill holding plate 3
5 is located above the upper surface of the lower drive endless belt 33. At the same time, the CPU 250 outputs a drive signal to the motor 126 to rotate the drum 4 approximately 45 degrees clockwise from the position shown in FIG.
