Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a banknote dispensing machine such as a banknote dispensing machine, a banknote depositing / dispensing machine, and a circulation type banknote depositing / dispensing machine. The present invention relates to a banknote dispensing machine including a banknote temporary holding unit that temporarily holds a banknote and sends the banknotes in a stacked state when the banknote reaches a predetermined amount.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional banknote dispensing machine of the above kind, there is one disclosed in, for example, JP-A-2000-90323.

[0003] The bill temporary holding unit in this processing machine includes an upper transport body located on the upper side, a receiving tray which is located below when the temporarily stored banknotes are stacked and rises at the end of stacking, and protrudes from the receiving surface of the receiving tray. When the lower transport body that is provided in the state and rises when the receiving stand is raised and clamps the temporarily stored banknotes in the stacked state with the upper transport body, and sends out the temporarily stored banknotes in the stacked state from the bill temporary storage unit, Drive means for rotating and driving the upper transport body in the bill sending direction.

[0004] The lower transport body of the bill temporary holding unit is constituted by rollers rotatably supported on a receiving table.
When the temporary storage banknotes are transported while being sandwiched between the upper and lower transporters, the upper transporter is driven to rotate and the temporary storage banknotes follow the lower transporter, and the rollers of the lower transporter follow the rotation. Is what you do.

[0005]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional structure, when the stacked banknotes have good adhesion and there is no slip between the banknotes, the banknotes are conveyed while being maintained in a stacked state. Although there is no problem, when the bills have poor adhesiveness and the bills easily slip, the bills are collapsed and conveyed, for example, in a sashimi state.

[0006] In such a case, if it is determined that the banknote is transported abnormally, the machine will be down, which will hinder the operation.

[0007] Even if it is not determined that the transport is abnormal, various obstacles are caused as follows. That is, in the case of dispensed banknotes, the operator must take out the banknotes that have been stacked and broken from the dispensing port, and after taking out the banknotes, it is required to realign the banknotes.

[0008] The same applies to a bill that has been forgotten to be dispensed. In other words, in the case of a banknote that has been forgotten to be dispensed, it is sent from the dispensing port to the collection port via the banknote temporary holding unit, and when it is held in a state where a part protrudes from this collection port, the stacking collapses Will be left behind.

In this case, too, the administrator or the operator of the machine must take out the banknotes that have been stacked and broken out from the collection port, and after taking out the banknotes, they must be rearranged into a stacking state.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and has been made to solve the problem that a temporary banknote in a banknote temporary storing section can be sent out while being held without disturbing the accumulation state. It is.

[0011]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention, in particular, a first invention is a bill storing and dispensing section for storing bills in an accumulated state and dispensing the leading bill one by one. A transport unit that transports the bills fed from the unit, and a bill temporary holding unit that receives the bills transported by the transport unit, temporarily suspends the accumulated bills, and sends out the temporarily suspended bills in the accumulated state when a predetermined number of bills are suspended. The temporary storage unit includes a first transport body provided at a position on one side of the bill surface, and a temporary storage banknote that the temporary storage bank is placed at a stacking position when the banknotes are stacked and is directed toward the first transport body at the end of stacking. And a second carrier that is provided so as to be able to protrude from the receiving surface of the cradle, and that advances when the cradle advances and sandwiches the temporarily stored banknotes with the first carrier. Stacked from bill storage And a drive means for rotating the first transport body in the bill delivery direction when sending the temporarily stored banknotes in the state, wherein the bill is delivered to the second transport body provided in the drive means. A first rotating body for giving a rotation in a direction, and a temporary storage banknote, which is provided on a drive shaft of the second transporting body and is moved in the advancing direction of the receiving table, in which the second transporting body is in an accumulated state, and A second rotating body that can be coupled to the first rotating body when pressed against one transporter and that drives a drive shaft of the second transporter when the first rotating body rotates; And driving both the first transporter and the second transporter when sending out the temporarily stored banknotes.

[0012] Thus, the temporarily stored banknotes accumulated in the temporary storage section can be conveyed while the accumulation state is maintained without the accumulation collapse.

Further, it is not necessary to provide a driving means for each of the first transporting body, the moving receiving table and the second transporting body. However, since the driving force is transmitted to the second transporting body at the time of temporarily storing banknotes, each driving means is transmitted. Control of the driving means is not complicated as in the case where the driving means is provided on each of the transport bodies,
Further, there is no need for wiring for connecting the moving means on the receiving table side to the fixed position side. Thus, the disadvantage that the cost is increased can be solved.

A second aspect of the present invention resides in that the direction in which the banknotes are accumulated in the temporary holding section is set to the vertical direction, and the temporarily stored banknotes are transported in a substantially horizontal direction by the upper transporter and the lower transporter.

[0015] With the above arrangement, since the bills are stacked in the vertical direction, the stacking collapse is unlikely to occur as in the case of the horizontal stacking in the standing posture during banknote stacking, and a good stacking state can be obtained. The stacked banknotes stacked in the direction can be held and transported without disturbing the stacking state, thereby guaranteeing the transport of the temporarily stored banknotes while the stacking state is maintained.

Further, since the temporarily stored banknotes are conveyed while being sandwiched between the upper and lower conveying bodies from above and below, the conveying sections are also easily arranged substantially linearly in a substantially horizontal direction, and conveyed while maintaining the accumulation state. Can be performed more reliably.

In addition, although it is not necessary to provide driving means on both the upper carrier and the moving receiving stand and the lower carrier, the driving force is reliably transmitted to the lower carrier when sending out the temporarily stored banknotes. However, as in the case where separate driving means are provided on the upper carrier side and the receiving table and the lower conveying body side, the complexity of controlling the driving means and the necessity of wiring for connecting the moving receiving table side driving means and the fixed side are reduced. In addition, it is possible to avoid an increase in cost due to these.

A third aspect of the present invention is a method for dispensing temporarily stored banknotes.
Based on the configuration described above, it is possible to send out to the dispensing port without disturbing the stacking posture.

[0020] In addition to the dispensing of the temporarily stored banknotes,
If the withdrawal banknote is forgotten, it is sent to the collection port. In this case as well, the reliable withdrawal or collection can be achieved by using the above-described claim 2 as a base. it can.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to set a batch collection mode for collecting a predetermined number of bills separately from a dispensing mode for dispensing bills. The collected rejected banknotes are conveyed to the withdrawal banknote temporary holding unit and collected, and the collected rejected banknotes are transferred to the withdrawal banknote temporary storage unit on condition that the collected regular banknotes have been removed from the collection port. The collected rejected banknotes that have been collected are transported to an in-machine rejected banknote receiving unit formed on the collection port side.

As described above, by directly taking out the bills in the dispensing bill storing and feeding section to the collecting port, the convenience of easy collection can be obtained. In addition, since the collected regular bills and the rejected bills are separated and collected into the collecting port side and the dispensed bill temporary holding section side, the collecting can be performed quickly and reliably, and especially the collected regular bills and the rejected bills near the collecting port. In the case of stacking immediately after that, it is possible to eliminate the problem that sorting errors and stacking errors are likely to occur during sorting and stacking.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, the first rotating body and the second rotating body
The contact position at the time of coupling of the rotating bodies can be displaced, so that the driving force can be reliably transmitted to the lower conveying body even if an assembly error or an error due to aging occurs.

According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, the first and second rotating bodies have a gear structure, and unlike the case of using a belt or a roller, rotation can be reliably transmitted without slipping when the rotating body comes into contact. It was made.

In order to ensure that the rotation is transmitted even if an assembly error or an aging error occurs, the first rotary member and the second rotary member can be engaged with each other and connected to each other. A first gear and a second gear, a third gear rotatably driven at a fixed position; and a third gear rotatable around an axis of the third gear, while maintaining the first gear in mesh with the third gear. A lever that moves in a predetermined peripheral region of the third gear, a biasing unit that biases the lever in a direction in which the second gear contacts the first gear, and the biasing unit that regulates a downward movement of the first gear. A stopper for restricting swinging of the lever due to the urging of the means, wherein the predetermined surrounding area of the third gear is such that the lower conveying body is moved from a first position where the first gear faces the rising of the second gear. The range of the second position of the first gear at the time of maximum rise Lies in the fact.

According to a ninth aspect of the present invention, the advancing and retreating movements of the receiving table and the second carrier with respect to the first carrier are performed on one side in the transport width direction of the second carrier which does not hinder the bill transport during the advancement. , The racks on one side and the other side in the transport width direction of the second transport body that do not hinder the bill transport during this advancement movement, and the racks on the shafts extending in the transport width direction on the receiving table side Is performed with each pinion located at a position corresponding to the above.

Conventionally, a drive mechanism for moving the receiving table and the second transporter has a retracted position on one side of the banknote in the banknote transport area,
In particular, it is provided at a retreat position on the side where the cradle and the second conveyance body retreat and move. Specifically, a motor, a first timing pulley fixed to a shaft of the motor, and a second timing pulley at a different position , A timing belt looped between the pulleys, and a cradle supporting frame fixed to a predetermined position of the timing belt and to which a cradle is fixed. And it is considered so as not to hinder the delivery of the temporarily stored banknotes on the receiving tray. Therefore, the receiving tray supporting frame is very long, and even if the base of the receiving tray supporting frame is fixed to the timing belt, the receiving tray is received. The receiving stand supporting frame portion for fixing the stand is always at a position retracted from the timing belt area, that is, a position far away from the second timing pulley.

In the above-mentioned conventional structure, a large space is required at a retreat position on one side of the banknote in the banknote transfer area, particularly at a retreat position on a side where the receiving table and the second transfer body retreat and move, and the machine becomes large in size. was there.

Therefore, a prototype of the above-described drive mechanism provided on the minus side in the conveyance width direction of the second conveyance body which does not hinder the conveyance of bills was manufactured. In this case, a large space is not required at the evacuation position on the side where the cradle and the second transporting body retreat and move, and the problem can be solved in this respect, but the cradle is supported by the cradle support frame in a cantilever manner. When the stacked banknotes are pinched between the first and second transporters, the pinching force differs between the left and right in the transport width direction of the banknotes, so that the banknotes cannot be reliably transported or the stacking collapse easily occurs during the transport. Occurred.

On the other hand, according to the ninth aspect of the present invention, a large space is not required in the retreating direction such as the cradle.
Further, the receiving table and the second transport body advance and retreat with keeping the parallelism with respect to the first transport body, and can reliably transport the stacked banknotes while maintaining the stacking state.

According to a tenth aspect of the present invention, the pedestal and the second carrier (lower carrier) are provided on the cradle support frame, and the pedestal and the second carrier (lower carrier) are moved by moving the cradle support frame. In particular, when the bill receiving position is at the bill stacking position, the receiving surface of the receiving stand protrudes from the second transporter (lower transporter) to enable smooth stacking of bills. The second transporter (lower transporter) is projected from the receiving surface of the table to securely hold the bill between the first transporter (upper transporter) and the transport can be performed without slipping. That's what I did.

Incidentally, assuming that the second transporter (lower transporter) protrudes from the receiving surface of the receiving stand at the banknote stacking position, the second transporter (lower transporter) is, for example, a belt or a roller. Since it is made of a material such as rubber or urethane that is unlikely to slip with the bills, when the first bills to be stacked come into contact with the second transporter (lower transporter), the bills are smoothly placed in the stacking position. In other words, the paper money is stuck or tilted on the way, and the banknotes are not in a stacked state.

According to the fifth aspect of the invention, such a problem can be solved.

FIGS. 2 to 4 show an example of a lifting mechanism for raising and lowering the lower transport body 22 including the receiving table 23. FIG.

The lower transport body 22 and the receiving table 23
It is supported on a lifting frame 25 that moves up and down by a lifting drive unit 24.

The lifting frame 25 has a slide block 26 at one end thereof. The slide block 26 is inserted through a slide bearing 28 into a guide rod 27 erected on the side of the machine body 1 and has a predetermined stroke. The range can be raised and lowered freely.

The right and left pulleys 33, 29 on the pulley shafts 30, 31, 32 rotatably supported by the bearings 29, 29 are provided on the left and right portions on the upper surface of the elevating frame 25. A pair of left and right belts 36, 36 are wound around 34, 35, and pulleys 37, 38 are fixed to pulley shafts 30, 31 at intermediate positions between the belts 36, 36.

Pinions 39, 39 are fixed to both ends of a pulley shaft 31 located at the middle in the front-rear direction among the pulley shafts, and these pinions 39, 39 are racks 40, 40 erected on the body 1 side. So that it can be raised and lowered without tilting left and right.

[0059] The vertically driving unit 24 for raising and lowering the slide block 26, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a motor M ₇ and cam 41 which is rotated by the motor M _7, the shaft proximal end to a side body 42 The pin 45 of the slide block 26 is fitted in the long hole 43a at the tip of the link member 43, and the roller 45 pivotally supported on the side surface of the link member 43 is formed. When the roller 45 is positioned at a low position 41a of the cam 41 by rotation of the cam 41, the lifting frame 25 is placed at the lowered position, and the high position 41b of the cam 41 is rotated.
The lifting frame 25 is configured to rise as the rollers 45 move.

[0060] Figure 2, (a part of the position detecting sensor group _{S n} of FIG. 9) in FIG. 3 and 47 show a sensor that controls the driving of the motor _{M 7} detects the rotational position of the cam 41. That lift frame 25, slide block 26, integrally rise pair of belts 36 and 36 driven by the motor M _7, it detects the raised and lowered positions in descending, has the function of stopping the motor M _7.

The pedestal 23 is a plate having a portion corresponding to the pulley including the belts 36 and 36 cut out, and compression springs 48 and 48 are provided on the upper surface of the elevating frame 25.
Is supported horizontally through When there is no load from above, the cradle 23 is positioned a predetermined amount above the upper surface of the lower transport body 22 (belts 36, 36) as shown by a chain line in FIGS. Even so, the positional relationship is maintained up to that point.

When the elevating frame 25 is raised to a predetermined height position lower than the ascending position, the receiving base 23 has stoppers 49, 49 at its left and right ends (for each of the escape holes formed in the machine frames 60, 60 described later). Stop at the upper edge).

The elevating frame 25 continues to ascend toward the ascending position, but the pedestal 23 stops while receiving the spring pressure of the compression springs 48, 48 which are compressed while being bent. As a result, the belts 36, 36, which rise integrally with the lifting frame 25, are displaced upward from the cradle 23 in the course of the upward movement, and project upward by a predetermined amount when reaching the upward position (the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 2). Becomes

In the above, the reason why the upper surface of the receiving tray 23 is positioned above the upper surfaces of the belts 36 and 36 by a predetermined amount at the banknote stacking position is that the first banknotes to be stacked slide on the receiving tray 23 smoothly, This is for sending to the collecting position.
Due to the positional relationship (indispensable for transporting banknotes), the belts 36, 36 are positioned a predetermined amount above the upper surface of the receiving stand 23,
If the cradle 23 and the belts 36, 36 are fixed on the elevating frame 25, the belts 36, 36 have a function of nipping and transporting the accumulated bills, so that a material of a material such as urethane that is hard to slip is generally used. Therefore, if the belts 36, 36 protrude above the cradle 23 when the bills are accumulated, the first bill cannot slide smoothly on the cradle 23, and comes into contact with the belts 36, 36, and receives resistance and is caught. This is because a slanted posture causes a stacking failure.

As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the rotation transmitting system to the lower conveying body 22 includes conveying paths 10d, 10e, and 10h.
A driving motor M ₅ , a transmission gear 54 rotated by a timing belt 53 passing from a pulley 51 on an output shaft of the motor M _{5 to} a group of intermediate pulleys 52, and swinging about a shaft 55 of the transmission gear 54. A swing member 58 movably supported and urged in a counterclockwise direction in FIG. 5 by a spring 56 to define a rotation range by a stopper 57;
A first gear 59 as a first rotating body which is rotatably supported by the swinging member 58 and always meshes with the transmission gear 54, and pulleys 33, 33 on the rear side of the lower transport body 22 and a pulley 37 in the middle thereof. The pulley shaft 30 includes a second gear 61 as a second rotating body fixed to a protruding end protruding from one side of the machine frame 60.

The second gear 61 can be connected to the first gear 59 at a point in time when the lower transport body 22 is moving to the raised position. Note the possible coupling state here means a standby state with the rotation of the motor M ₅ and the first gear 59, in this embodiment the first gear 59 upon rise of the lower carrier 22 second gear 61 In the state where the respective tooth ridges or the respective tooth roots face each other and the outer peripheral edge thereof is in contact with the
Alternatively, this means either the case where the tooth ridges and the tooth bottom of the second gear 61 and the first gear 59 face each other and are in the meshing state as it is. There is no regularity in which of these states,
Determined by the gear rotation stop position. First gear 59
And a roller or a belt instead of the second gear 61,
When the first roller (or the belt) and the second roller (or the belt) are used, the press-contact state of both the rollers is a state that can be combined.

The lower transport body 22 continues to ascend while maintaining the state in which the first gear 59 and the second gear 61 can be connected, and stops at the ascending position. A standby completion state in preparation for rotation of the motor M ₅ and the first gear 59 at this time.

The reason why the first gear 59 is movably provided by the rocking member 58 is that the mechanisms (belts 36, 36, first gear 59, second gear 61, pedestal 23,
This corresponds to a change in the height position at which the first gear 59 and the second gear 61 can be connected due to an assembly error of the lifting / lowering drive unit 24, the lifting / lowering frame 25, the slide block 26, and the like, due to wear due to use and the like. To do that.

The upper carrier 2 with respect to the lower carrier 22
1 is a pair of belts 36 and 3 constituting the lower transport body 22.
The belt 6 is composed of a pair of belts opposed to each other so as to be able to press against each other from above. Each pulley group on which this belt is stretched is supported by each swinging lever (not shown) so as to be liftable and urged downward by a tension spring (not shown). The lower limit of each swing lever is defined by a stopper.

As a result, when the lower transport body 22 is at the lowered position, the lower surface of the upper transport body 21 (the lower surface of the belt) is at a fixed position slightly below the bill loading surface 8a of the dispensing port 8.
When the lower transport body 22 moves to the ascending position, the upper surface of the stacked banknotes stacked on the lower transport body 22 (the pair of belts 36, 36) during the movement (the belt 36 of the lower transport body 22 when no stacked banknotes are present). , 36) is the upper carrier 21
Abut the lower surface of the belt. When the lower transport body 22 continues to move further toward the ascending position, the lower surface of the upper transport body 21 accumulates bills between the belts 36, 36 of the lower transport body 22 by the urging force of the tension spring (not shown) and its own weight. We pinch with strong power.

When the lower transport body 22 further moves up, the upper transport body 21 also starts moving integrally with the lower transport body 22 while holding the stacked bills, and when the lower transport body 22 reaches the raised position and stops, the upper transport body 21 stops. 21 also stops at that position while holding the stacked banknotes. The belt area of the lower surface of the pair of belts of the upper transport body 21 that is in contact with the stacked banknotes is displaced upward by the sandwiching thickness with respect to the pair of belts 36, 36 of the lower transport body 22. It goes without saying that the belt area not in contact has a small upward displacement amount.

Further, a pulling mechanism (not shown) in which the lever 74 is stretched between the pair of belts and the machine frame so that the transport pulleys 10d-p and 10d-p press the upper surfaces of the lower traveling areas of the pair of belts regardless of the amount of bills. The spring is urged counterclockwise in the figure.

The transport path 10e is also provided with a pair of belts in the transport width direction, and the upper and lower pairs of belts are in pressure contact. Among these, the lower pair of belts is located at a fixed position, while the upper pair of belts have the same supporting structure as the upper transport body 21 (a pulley group for mounting a pair of belts, each swing lever, each pulling member). (Springs, stoppers) so that the stacked bills can be transported upward.

[0076] In Figure 5, the first gear 59 when the motor _{M 5} is driven to rotate. If the teeth of the second gear 61 and the tooth of the first gear 59 face and mesh with each other at a stage before the rotation of the first gear 59, the rotation of the first gear 59 causes the second gear 61 to rotate. Starts spinning immediately. If the tooth ridges or the tooth roots of the first gear 59 and the second gear 61 face each other at the stage before the rotation of the first gear 59 and their outer peripheral edges are in contact with each other, the first gear 59 The second gear 61 and the first gear 5 when
The tooth ridge and the tooth bottom of 9 face each other and become in an engaged state,
The rotation of the first gear 59 is transmitted to the second gear 61 and starts to rotate. Thereby, both the upper transport body 21 and the lower transport body 22 are driven while holding the stacked bills,
The stacked bills are conveyed.

[0103] Thus the upper-side conveying belts and the lower side conveyor belt of the conveying path 10e, the positive rotation of the motor M _5, is forced driven to the right in FIG. 1 irrespective of the reverse rotation.
Note the motor M ₅ is at low speed at the time of conveyance of the accumulated bills, during conveyance one by one positive is high speed with reverse rotation.

FIG. 13 shows an example of a drawer control mechanism 130 for controlling the locking and unlocking of the refill reject box 14, that is, for controlling whether or not the refill reject box 14 can be pulled out.

A lock pin 14a is fixed to the outer wall in the width direction of the replenishing reject box 14 (the wall surface on the front side in FIG. 13), and a support shaft 131 is provided on the side of the body 1 opposed to the lock pin 14a. A lock lever 132 that can swing around the center is provided.

The lock lever 132 has a tension spring 133 stretched between the lock lever 132 and the body 1, and a clockwise rotational force is urged in FIG. 13. The lock lever 132 swings by a stopper 134 provided on the body 1. Restrictions are imposed.

A projection 13 a is provided on a side portion of the stage 13 (the front side in FIG. 13, the front and back sides of the paper surface), and the projection 13 a protrudes outside the side wall of the banknote storage space of the replenishment / collection banknote storage unit 3.

The protrusion 13a of the lock lever 132
A cam surface 132a is formed at a portion facing the lifting orbit of the refill box 14.
A lock portion 132b is formed facing the movement area of a.

In FIG. 13, Sn indicates a mounting detection sensor (one of the position detection sensor group Sn in FIG. 9) for detecting that the refill reject box 14 has been inserted and mounted to the proper position of the body 1. Show.

The drawer control mechanism 130 has a function of preventing the replenishment reject box 14 from being pulled out while bills in the replenishment / collection bill storage unit 3 are being fed.

That is, when the stage 13 is lowered to the position shown by the dashed line in FIG.
2 also moves to the position shown in the dashed line, and the lock lever 13
The second lock portion 132b retreats from the movement range of the lock pin 14a. As a result, the refill reject box 14
The user can manually pull out the fuselage 1 toward the back (rightward in FIG. 13) of the fuselage 1.

The replenishment reject box 14 pulled out
When the replenishment reject banknotes in the inside are taken out and the empty rejection reject box 14 is mounted again, the stage 13 can be raised on condition that the mounting detection sensor Sn detects the mounting, and the stage 13 is raised (in the inclined posture). When the lock lever 132 moves straight up in the direction of the inclination angle), the lock lever 132 is displaced to the position shown by the solid line in FIG.
The reject box 14 is prevented from being pulled out.

[0113] Note that when replenishing the reject box 14 remains in state withdrawal does not work the attachment detection sensor Sn, thus also increasing motor M ₆ stages 13 placed remain inactive. The fixed position of the stage 13 is the position indicated by the one-dot chain line in FIG. 13 (the position indicated by the solid line in FIG. 1) of the standby position. And that the replenishment reject box 14 has been mounted and the mounting detection sensor Sn has detected it,
The stage 13 can be lifted on the condition that the rejected banknote amount in the rejection reject box 14 is not the predetermined amount (the full detection sensor which is one of the position detection sensor group Sn does not fully detect). Become.

Next, the overall operation of the above embodiment will be described.

A) Replenishment Mode In FIG. 9, when a command signal Px relating to the replenishment mode is input to the control unit 100 from the host machine, the replenishment / recovery lamp L ₃ (FIG. 10) repeats “blinking at long intervals”. , A machine operator or a machine operator (not a customer; the customer can operate only on the front side of the machine body 1; these are hereinafter referred to as a machine manager or the like).

[0116] In the case of replenishment and recovery lamp L ₃ is the "blink of short interval", the recovery command signal Px from the host machine
Is input to the control unit 100, and is distinguished from the replenishment command signal Px.

The reject box 14 can be freely pulled out since the stage 13 is at the lowest position at that time. If a rejected banknote is present in the box 14, the rejected banknote is
Empty refill box 1 from 4
4 is attached to the body 1. The machine administrator goes to the central checkout office and, if there is a rejected banknote, hands it over to the checkout station, and supplies 1,000 yen and ten thousand yen bills as replenishment bills.
Receive 00 sheets at a time.

[0118] The bill is brought to the body 1 and
Is opened, and a total of 600 bills are aligned and stacked on the stage 13.

[0119] Then press the refill button _{D 2} when switch _{D 21} is turned ON as shown in FIG. 9, the motor M via the control unit 100
₆ is driven, the stage 13 is raised, and the upper surface of the stacked stacked banknotes is pressed by the replenishment feeding unit 12, and when the pressed state is detected by the position detection sensor group Sn, the motor M
₆ temporarily stops, and the motors M ₁ and M ₂ rotate together.

[0120] clutch C ₃ yet at that time is de-energized (excited after a predetermined time has elapsed), but supplemented feeding unit 12 is stopped, the conveyance path 10 of the replenishment delivery portion 12 later
a and 10b, 10f, and 10g are driven by rotation of motors M ₁ and M ₂ . Further, the replenishment identification unit 11 can also be identified.

[0121] On the other hand, the display lamp _{L 3} will be lit,
Notifies that replenishment is in progress. Further, the conveyance path sensor group Sm and the position detection sensor group Sn are in an operable state.
Then, the solenoids S corresponding to the switching units G ₁ , G ₂ , G ₃
D ₁ , SD ₂ , SD ₃ are identification signals to the supplementary identification section 11,
Switching between ON and OFF can be performed based on the transport path sensor group Sm.

[0122] Then clutch _{C 3} are turned ON, supplement feed unit 12 is driven, feeding the paper money is started. In this feeding, the fed banknote is supplied to the replenishment identifying unit 1.
Each time the banknote is identified by 1, it is fed at the pitch and speed at which the next banknote is fed.

[0123] The position motor M ₆ is intermittently driven through the detection sensor group Sn, supplemented feeding stage 13 by a predetermined amount not a Dzu rises and stacking banknotes predetermined pressure in response to the bill fed supplemented feed unit 12 The bill is pressed against the unit 12 and the continuous feeding of one bill is continued.

The bill thus fed out is supplied to the replenishment identifying section 1
When the banknote 1 is identified as a 1,000-yen banknote, a temporary storage unit 2a ₁ for 1,000-yen banknotes
To the temporary storage unit 2a ₂ for ten thousand yen when identified as ten thousand yen bill
Rejected banknotes, such as other banknotes and two-folded banknotes, are fed into the reject reject box 14 as replenishment reject banknotes in a horizontal state and are stacked. For example, in the replenishment identification unit 11, a 1,000-yen bill is first
00 sheets as identified clutch C ₃ is deenergized, supplement feed unit 12 pauses and the motor M ₆ also becomes suspended.

On the other hand, the motors M ₁ and M ₂ are stopped in anticipation of the time when the banknotes in the transport paths 10 a and 10 b are received in the temporary holding units 2 a ₁ and 2 a ₂ and the replenishment reject box 14 according to the identification result. I do.

[0126] Then the motor _{M 3} is rotated a predetermined time, the escrow unit _2a 1, a pair of bottom plate _2a 11 of 2a _2, 2
_{a 11, 2a 21, 2a} 21 are double doors downwardly, each integrated escrow banknotes are stacked on the bottom of the integrated states to the dispensing bill accommodating unit ₂ 1, _{2 2.} In addition each withdrawal bill storage unit ₂ 1,
It housed a number of bills to 2 ₂ is stored in the storage unit of the control unit 100.

Motor M₃By continuous rotation of the bottom plate 2
a₁₁, 2a₁₁, 2a₂₁, 2a ₂₁Closes the motor
M₃Stops.

Immediately thereafter, the rotation of the motors M ₁ and M ₂ and the ON (excitation) of the clutch C ₃ cause the replenishment of the replenishment bill, the identification by the replenishment identification unit 11, the temporary storage unit 2a for the thousand-yen bill and the ten thousand-yen bill. _1, the escrow accumulation in 2a _2, is accommodated in the replenishment reject box 14 of the refill rejected bills is performed.

Again, one of the temporary holding sections 2a ₁ or 2a ₂
When the number of sheets reaches 100, the replenishment feeding unit 12
There stops at OFF of the clutch _{C 3} (non-excited), then the motor _M 1, _{M 2} is stopped. Then a pair of the bottom plate _{2a 11, 2a 1 1, 2a} 21, 2a 21 is opened by the rotation of the motor _{M 3,} escrowed banknotes are accommodated in the respective dispensing bill accommodating unit ₂ 1, _{2 2.}

At this time, the temporarily reserved number for each denomination is added to the storage unit of the control unit 100, and each of the dispensed banknote storage units 2 ₁ , 2
₂ is stored in the storage unit as the total number of stored sheets.

Similarly, all the banknotes in the replenishment / collection banknote storage unit 13 are stored in the dispensing banknote storage units 2 ₁ and 2 ₂ and the replenishment reject box 14. When the storage is completed,
Replenishment and recovery lamp L ₃ is turned off, replenishment mode is terminated.

[0132] Also when the amount of replenishment reject banknotes replenishment reject box 14 in the middle operation supplement mode is full, replenishment reject lamp L ₄ are transitions from blinking to lighting.

[0133] On the other hand, the non-excitation of the clutch _{C 3,} the conveying path 10
The motor M ₁ after the lapse of time for storing the bills in the temporary holding units 2 ₁ and 2 ₂ and the replenishing reject box 14 (setting is possible to store several bills even when the bills are full). stop M _2, stage 1 of the reverse rotation of the motor _{M 6}
3 is moved to the lowest position, and the refill reject box 14 is pulled out to take out the refill reject bill, and the empty refill reject box 14 is set on the machine body 1 again.

[0134] Then turn without pressing the replenishment button D ₂ stage 13 rises, similarly supplement mode and when the pressing of the refill button D ₂ has been made is continued, all on the stage 13 by repeating the above operations And the replenishment mode ends.

B) Withdrawal Mode First, the customer inputs a withdrawal amount by using the operation unit 101 shown in FIG. 9 and reads and enters a certificate for certifying that the customer is the right holder.

Each of the dispensed bill storage units 2 ₁ , 2 is based on the input from the operation unit 101 and the dispensing command signal Px from the host machine.
Withdrawal of banknotes is performed from ₂ .

That is, the motors M ₁ , M ₂ , M ₄ , M
₅ (high speed rotation) is driven, and the transport paths 10a, 10b, 1
0c (including 10h), 10d, 10e, 10f, 10
g is driven. The motor M ₃ are not in operation the bottom plate 2
a ₁₁ , 2a ₁₁ , 2a ₂₁ , and 2a ₂₁ are in a closed state. Motor M ₈ stops After driving a predetermined time, the partition plate 6 stops rises to two-dot chain line position shown from the solid line position shown in FIG. 8, and the acceptance of withdrawal rejected bills. For motor M ₇ is rotated by a predetermined angle from the solid line position shown in FIG. 2, the lift frame 25 is stopped at a position corresponding to the lowered position.

[0138] Note that the motor M ₆ is used in supplement mode and the collection mode, it remains in a stopped state because not used for dispensing mode. The dispensing identification unit 16, the transport path detecting sensors Sm, position detecting sensor group Sn, solenoid _SD 1 to SD ₆ that operates the switching unit _G 1 ~G ₆ also becomes operable state.

[0139] When the dispensed banknotes are both 2 denomination is dispensed from the side of the bill accommodating unit 2 _1, also 1 for denomination of that denomination dispensed bill accommodating unit 2 ₁ or 2 ₂ Dispensing banknotes.

The feeding portions 15 ₁ and 15 ₂ are set so that one bill is fed by one rotation of the kicker rollers 15 _1-1 and 15 _2-1 .

[0141] As a specific example, when the output amount is assumed 150,000 8,000 yen, first clutch C ₁ is energized, feeding unit 1
5 ₁ 1000 yen note 8,000 yen is driven, i.e. kicker roller 15 _1-1 is driven 8 rotations. The bills fed out during that time are identified by the withdrawal identifying unit 16, and the bills identified as 1,000-yen bills are stacked in the banknote temporary holding unit 9 from the transport path 10 d in a horizontal posture. The cradle 23 at that time is at the position shown by the two-dot chain line in FIGS.

On the other hand, the withdrawal reject bill determined as a reject bill that cannot be used for withdrawal by the withdrawal identification unit 16 is:
The bills are fed from the transport path 10e to the withdrawal reject bill storage unit 5b and are stacked horizontally.

A banknote that is defective (the banknote that is determined to be a skewed banknote, an abnormally approaching banknote, or the like and is determined to be capable of being re-fed out) by the dispensing identification unit 16 is branched from the transport path 10e to the transport path 10f, and is transported. Temporary holding unit 2a through 10a and 10b

[0175] Meanwhile, the stage 13 of FIG. 1 and FIG. 8 is raised by the motor M _6, becomes lowered by a predetermined distance from the supplemented feed portion 12 in the stopped state position.

FIGS. 1 and 8 of the replenishment / recovery banknote storage unit 3.
Bill renormalization opening at the top left in the bill renormalization belt (switching unit G ₃ vicinity), pulleys, and an opposing roller was coated with the guide (not shown)
Is retracted, and a state in which the collected banknotes can be brought in is enabled.
Motor M ₈ starts in this state, and stops to position the partition plate 6 to the two-dot chain line position shown in FIG. At this time replenishing the supply portion 12 while the clutch C ₃ is non-excited is placed in a stopped state.

[0177] Then first clutch C ₁ is energized, the dispensing bill accommodating unit 2 _1, the banknote is fed one by one, or normal recovery bill dispensing identification unit 16, or recovered rejected bills, the recovery have trouble A bill is identified.

[0178] The legitimate collected bills are transported on the transport path 10C (10h
10e, 10f, 10a, 10b, switching section G
₃ and is accumulated on the stage 13 in a horizontal posture. At this time, the motor M ₆ is controlled in accordance with the number of bills collected so as to maintain an appropriate interval between the top bill and the replenishment feeding unit 12.
Is intermittently driven in reverse to lower the stage 13 by a predetermined amount.

The collected reject bill is received in the dispensing reject bill storage unit 5b. Further, the banknotes that are not collected properly are transferred to the transport paths 10c (including 10h), 10e, 10f, 1
0a, 10b, are sent to the escrow unit 2a ₁ through switching unit _{G 1.}

[0180] clutch C ₁ when one that all banknotes dispensed bill accommodating unit 2 ₁ is fed out position detection sensor group Sn is detected is de-energized, the supply portion 15 ₁ is stopped. A pair of bottom plates 2a then the motor M ₃ is activated
_{11, 2a 11 (2a 21,} 2a 21 also open at the same time) are escrowed banknotes are accommodated in the dispensing bill accommodating unit _{2 1} is opened.

[0181] is then energized clutch C ₁ is again feeding the bill, the dispensing identifying unit 16 in the replenishment and collection banknote storing portion 3 and it is determined that normal recovery bill collecting rejected bills and recovering defects physician bills Withdrawal reject bill storage unit 5b
Will be received.

[0182] Thus the feeding of all the banknotes dispensing bill accommodating unit 2 _1, transport, the deferred is made, the clutch C
₁ clutch C ₂ together becomes de-energized is energized, the process proceeds to the recovery operation of the yen bills.

The banknotes of 10,000 yen are also classified by the withdrawal discriminating section 16 into banknotes of normal collection, rejected banknotes, and banknotes with defective collection. sent to each of the holding portion 2a _2.

[0184] The fed out all banknotes dispensed bill accommodating unit 2 in _2, identification, transport and deferred is performed, the clutch C ₂ is deenergized, the motor M ₃ stops the feeding portion 15 ₂ start, houses the escrowed banknotes to the dispensing bill accommodating unit 2 in _2.

[0185] Then the electromagnetic clutches C ₂ again, the dispensed banknotes of the banknote accommodating section 2 within ₂ is fed, the recovery regular bills to replenish and collecting the bill unit 3, the recovery problem bills and collecting rejected bills are dispensed reject banknote It is received in the storage section 5b.

[0186] then allowed to start the motor M _8, and stops the partition plate 6 is moved to the solid line position shown in FIG. Motor M
₁ , M ₂ , M ₄ , M ₅ (high-speed rotation) are stopped.

[0187] On the other hand, the motor M ₆ is continuously rotated in the reverse direction, the stage 13 1, 8, and stops by moving the lowest position 13. Replenishment / collection lamp L
₃ blinks during collection, but switches to lighting when the stage 13 is lowered to the lowest position. And machine administrator or the like to open the door 4, the lamp L ₃ and take out all of the recovery bill is turned off.

[0188] The dispensing reject banknote storage unit 5b, the lamp L ₂ is blinking when dispensing or collecting rejected bills are present, the lighting with their bill is full (in this case, the machine does not operate unless withdrawn banknotes )
On condition that the partition plate 6 is located at the position shown by the solid line in FIGS. 1 and 8, the door 7b is opened to take out the withdrawal and the rejected banknote.

Thus, the collection mode ends.

In the above, the collected bills and the collected and / or dispensed reject bills taken out in the unit collecting mode or the collecting mode are brought to the central cashier and handed.

In the illustrated embodiment, the case where the direction of stacking the bills in the bill temporary holding section is the vertical direction has been described. However, the bills may be stacked in the upright posture.

When the temporary banknotes reach a predetermined amount, the temporary banknotes are sent out in an accumulated state. If the banknotes are withdrawal bills, the desired withdrawal amount input through operation and the withdrawal temporary holding amount actually paid out are different. Either a mode in which the temporarily stored banknotes are automatically sent out for dispensing at the time of coincidence, or a mode in which dispensing is sent out by the dispensing approval operation after the above-mentioned coincidence may be adopted.

The operation of collecting bills (either in the collecting mode or the unit collecting mode) is performed by a person in charge of managing the machine,
This refers to paying out and identifying bills in the bill storage unit by an operation of an administrator or the like, and sending the temporarily stored bills to the collection unit (rear side of the machine body) in an accumulated state.

[0194] The sending time is automatically performed when a predetermined number (or a predetermined amount) of denomination banknotes to be collected are collected, and automatically when the predetermined number of banknotes are collected regardless of the denomination. In either case, the operation may be performed by button operation instead of automatically.

The first transporting body (upper transporting body) and the second transporting body (lower transporting body) can have a belt structure, a roller structure, or a combination structure of a belt and a roller.

Further, the banknote stacking position of the receiving plate may be a fixed position. In addition, the amount of the temporarily stored banknotes is increased so that an appropriate interval is provided between the first transporter and the upper surface of the temporarily stored banknotes. Control may be performed so as to separate from each other. Especially when stacking banknotes in a horizontal position in a standing position,
The second transporter is moved in a direction away from the first transporter with an increase in the amount of temporarily stored bills so that an interval at which bills to be stacked can enter smoothly without falling down is always formed. Is desirable.

[0197] In each claim of the claims, "a second rotating body which can be coupled to the first rotating body and drives the drive shaft of the second transporting body when the first rotating body rotates"
Is the stage before "combination" (the illustrated embodiment)
In addition, the “joined state itself” is included, such as the one caused by pressure contact between rollers.

[0198] The first switching unit in the present invention is a solenoid SD ₁ and switching unit _{G 1,} and the second switching unit motor M
₈ and the partition plate 6 correspond to this.

It is not necessary to provide respective driving means on both the body side and the receiving table and the second transporting body side, and yet it is possible to reliably transmit the drive rotation to the second transporting body at the time of sending out the temporarily stored banknotes, so that the first transporting means There is no complicated control of the driving means as in the case where the driving means is separately provided on both the body side and the receiving table and the second transporting body side, and no wiring is required to connect the lifting drive system of the receiving table and the fixed side. Thus, the cost can be significantly reduced.

2) According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the accumulating direction of the temporarily stored banknotes is the up-down direction, the stacking collapse occurs as in the case where the banknotes are stacked in the upright posture in the horizontal direction. This makes it possible to reliably stack the banknotes in the vertical direction, and to transport the banknotes to a required place by the upper and lower transport bodies while maintaining the stacking state, thereby ensuring the transport of the temporarily stored banknotes.

Further, since the temporarily stored banknotes are nipped and transported from above and below by the upper transporter and the lower transporter, the transporting section can be easily arranged substantially linearly in the horizontal direction, and the banknotes in the stacked state can be transported more reliably. it can.

The same effect as that of the first aspect can be obtained in that the drive system can be further simplified.

3) According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the accumulating direction of the temporarily stored banknotes to be dispensed is the up-down direction, as in the case of the horizontal accumulation in the standing position at the time of temporarily dispensing the banknotes. Accumulation collapse is unlikely to occur, and it is possible to reliably accumulate in the up-down direction and to convey the dispensing temporary holding bills while maintaining the accumulated state to the dispensing port.

The structure of the transport section and the structure of the drive system can be simplified as in the first and second aspects of the present invention.

4) According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to transport the withdrawal temporary storage banknotes vertically accumulated to the dispensing port while maintaining the accumulation state, and to temporarily store the withdrawal banknotes. The banknotes are held in a state where they are partially protruded from the dispensing port in the stacked state, making it easy to take out them. It can be processed efficiently.

The structure of the transport section and the structure of the drive system can be simplified as in the first, second and third aspects of the present invention.

5) According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, a batch collection mode in which the bills in the dispensing bill storage and dispensing section are directly conveyed to the collection section is enabled, so that the collection can be facilitated and the conveyance system can be improved. Can be configured compactly.

6) According to the sixth aspect of the invention, even if an assembly error or an error due to aging occurs, the rotation can be reliably transmitted to the lower conveying member.

7) According to the seventh and eighth aspects of the invention, no slip occurs between the first rotating body and the second rotating body, and the rotation is more reliably transmitted to the lower transporting body. Can be made.

8) According to the ninth aspect of the present invention, a large space is not required in the retreating direction of the cradle, and the cradle and the second transport body move forward and backward while maintaining parallelism with the first transport body. Therefore, the accumulated bills can be reliably transported while keeping the accumulated state.

9) According to the tenth aspect of the present invention, bills can be smoothly stacked on the receiving table without contacting the second transporter (lower transporter) when the banknotes are stacked. In some cases, the stacked banknotes are sandwiched and transported by the first and second transporters (upper transporter and lower transporter), so that reliable transport can be performed.
