A bill press that pushes the inserted bills against the take-in mechanism by being electrically driven is provided, and the pay-out port is electrically driven to open and close the pay-out port shutter. Is provided, and the drive source of the bill press and the drive source of the dispensing port shutter are commonly used.

As described above, even when the deposit port and the dispensing port are separately provided, and the dispensing port shutter is provided at the dispensing port and the bill press is provided at the dispensing port, these dispensing ports are provided. Since it is not necessary to drive the mouth shutter and the bill press at the same time, these drive sources are shared. As a result, unlike the case where the drive sources are separately provided, the size of the machine body does not increase and the cost does not increase.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the bill processing machine according to the first aspect, an electric motor is used as the drive source, and the bill press and the bill press are operated by rotating the electric motor in a forward direction. Only the bill press of the dispensing port shutter is driven, while only the dispensing port shutter of the bill pressing and the dispensing port shutter is driven by rotating the electric motor in the reverse direction. .

As a result, the bill press and the dispensing port shutter are separately driven by switching the forward rotation and the reverse rotation of the common electric motor.

A bill handling machine according to a third aspect of the present invention relates to the bill handling machine according to the second aspect, in which the driving force to the bill press is transmitted when the electric motor rotates forward and the bill press to the bill press when the electric motor rotates in the reverse direction. A first one-way clutch that shuts off the driving force and a second one-way clutch that shuts off the driving force to the dispensing port shutter when the electric motor rotates in the forward direction and transmits the driving force to the dispensing port shutter when the electric motor rotates in the reverse direction. It is characterized by having a one-way clutch.

As a result, when the electric motor is normally rotated, the first one-way clutch transmits the driving force to the bill press and the second one-way clutch shuts off the driving force to the dispensing port shutter. Driving the electric motor on the other hand, the reverse rotation of the electric motor causes
Since the one-way clutch of 1 cuts off the driving force to the bill press and the second one-way clutch transmits the driving force to the dispensing port shutter, only the dispensing port shutter is driven.

8 and the rear wall portion 17 form a deposit space 35 and the upper portion thereof is opened. At this time, the space 44 between the pressing plate 28 of the deposit port 12 and the front wall portion 18 is closed by the folded deposit port shutter 37. It should be noted that the pressing plate 28 is positioned at the first separated position at the timing of receiving the bill from the outside of the machine body 10 into the deposit port 12 during the deposit process.

On the other hand, from this state, as shown in FIG.
When the pressing plate 28 moves toward the side closer to the intake mechanism 21,
The deposit opening shutter main body 40 is rotated upward while being guided by the guide portion so that the engaging portion 41 is positioned on the opening side of the deposit opening 12 by the urging force of the torsion spring 42, and the pressing plate 28 and the front wall portion 18 are moved. The space 44 that expands between and is closed according to the expansion.

Finally, the pressing plate 28 is finally taken up by the taking-in mechanism 21 in the state where there is no banknote between the pressing plate 28 and the taking-in mechanism 21.
When located at the first proximity position that is closest to
Moves to a position where the protrusion from the deposit port 12 is restricted by the guide portion, and a space on the opposite side to the intake mechanism 21 with respect to the pressing plate 28 of the deposit port 12, that is, the pressing plate 28 and the front wall portion 18. The entire space 44 between them is covered and closed.

At this time, in the deposit opening shutter body 40, the position of the connecting pin 39 is higher than the position of the roller 43 with reference to the sliding direction of the pressing plate 28. Further, at this time, the deposit space 35 on the intake mechanism 21 side of the deposit port 12 with respect to the pressing plate 28 is also closed by the pressing plate 28 being close to the capturing mechanism 21. The pressing plate 28 is located at the first proximity position at a timing other than the time of deposit processing.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, when the pressing plate 28 is moved away from the take-in mechanism 21 in this state, the pressing plate 28 presses the deposit opening shutter main body 40.

Here, in the state where the pressing plate 28 is located at the first proximity position, in the deposit opening shutter main body 40, the position of the connecting pin 39 is higher than the position of the roller 43 with respect to the sliding direction of the pressing plate 28. Therefore, the roller 43 is moved down along the front wall portion 18 against the biasing force of the torsion spring 42 by the pressing of the pressing plate 28. Then, the pressing plate 28 is folded in accordance with the space 44 that is narrowed between the front wall portion 18 and the pressing plate 28, and the pressing plate 28 is finally taken in.
Is stopped at the first separated position, which is the most separated from.

The deposit port shutter 37 is formed when the pressing plate 28 is located on the side of the take-in mechanism 21 and closes the deposit space 35, and the front wall portion 18 and the pressing plate 28 are formed.
This prevents the operator from mistakenly inserting a bill into the space 44 between and.

The first proximity position detection sensor 97 and the first separation position detection sensor 98 detect position data of the auxiliary arm 88 on the side of the bill press 27 that is closer to the bill press 27 than the tension springs 94 and 95, which are cushioning means. This is for confirming the actual position of the plate 28.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, when the bill pressing drive disc 76 positions the operating arm 81 to the second proximity position at a predetermined position radially outside the bill pressing drive disc 76, it is operated. The second proximity position detection sensor (motor-side position sensor, at the position for detecting the detection piece 77 of the bill press drive disk 76 directly connected to the arm 81,
An expected proximity position sensor) 100 is provided, and when the bill press drive disc 76 positions the operating arm 81 at the second separated position, a detection piece portion of the bill press drive disc 76 directly connected to the operating arm 81. The second separation position detection sensor (motor side position sensor,
An expected separated position sensor) 101 is provided.

Here, the second proximity position detection sensor 10
The 0 and second separated position detection sensors 101 detect the position data of the bill press drive disk 76 which is closer to the electric motor 65 than the tension springs 94 and 95 which are the buffer means. It is for confirming the position.

More specifically, the second proximity position detection sensor 1
00 detects the second proximity position of the operating arm 81, which is the expected proximity position data on the electric motor 65 side, where the pressing plate 28 is expected to be located at the first proximity position near the intake mechanism 21, The second separated position detection sensor 101 is
The second separation position of the operating arm 81, which is the predicted separation position data of the electric motor 65 predicted to be located at the first separation position where the pressing plate 28 is separated from the intake mechanism 21, is detected.

Further, the deposit port 12 is shown in FIGS.
As shown in, a bill detection sensor 103 for detecting whether or not a bill is present in the deposit port 12 is provided.

A control unit (not shown) for controlling the operation of the bill depositing / dispensing machine causes the electric motor 65 to rotate in the forward direction when the pressing plate 28 is moved in the direction of approaching the loading mechanism 21. The electric motor 65 is stopped at the timing at which the detection piece portion 77 of the building press drive disk 76 is detected by the proximity position detection sensor 100.

When the pressing plate 28 is moved in the direction away from the take-in mechanism 21, the electric motor 65 is rotated in the forward direction and the second separated position detection sensor 101 detects the detection piece of the bill press drive disk 76. The electric motor 65 is stopped at the timing when the portion 77 is detected.

Then, the control unit, during such an operation,
Presence or absence of foreign matter in the deposit port 12 based on the detection results of the first proximity position detection sensor 97, the first separation position detection sensor 98, the second proximity position detection sensor 100, the second separation position detection sensor 101, and the banknote detection sensor 103. To detect. That is, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, when the detection piece portion 77 of the bill press drive disk 76 is detected by the second proximity position detection sensor 100, a bill is inserted between the pressing plate 28 and the take-in mechanism 21. If the pressing plate 28 operates normally, the first proximity position detection sensor 97 causes the auxiliary arm 8 to operate.
The detection piece portion 92 of 8 will be detected. Therefore, the second
When the proximity position detection sensor 100 detects the detection piece 77 of the bill press drive disk 76, the banknote detection sensor 103 does not detect the banknote, and the first proximity position detection sensor 97 detects the detection piece of the auxiliary arm 88. If 92 is detected, it is determined that there is no foreign matter and the pressing plate 28 can move normally.

On the other hand, when the second proximity position detection sensor 100 detects the detection piece 77 of the bill press drive disk 76, the banknote detection sensor 103 does not detect a banknote and the first proximity position detection sensor 97 If the detection piece 92 of the auxiliary arm 88 is not detected, it is determined that the pressing plate 28 could not be moved normally due to a foreign substance, and an error is displayed. If the bill detection sensor 103 detects a bill at the time when the second proximity position detection sensor 100 detects the detection piece 77 of the bill press drive disc 76, the position of the pressing plate 28 changes depending on the bill. The presence / absence of foreign matter is not determined.

When the second separating position detection sensor 101 detects the detection piece 77 of the bill press drive disk 76, the normal operation is performed regardless of the presence or absence of banknotes between the pressing plate 28 and the take-in mechanism 21. If the pressing plate 28 is actuated in FIG.
As shown in, the first separated position detection sensor 98 detects the detection piece portion 92 of the auxiliary arm 88. Therefore,
If the first separating position detecting sensor 98 detects the detecting piece 92 of the auxiliary arm 88 when the second separating position detecting sensor 101 detects the detecting piece 77 of the bill press drive disk 76, the bill detecting sensor is detected. Irrespective of the detection result of 103, it is determined that there is no foreign matter and the pressing plate 28 can move normally.

On the other hand, when the second separating position detecting sensor 101 detects the detecting piece 77 of the bill press drive disk 76, the first separating position detecting sensor 98 detects the detecting piece 92 of the auxiliary arm 88. If not, regardless of the detection result of the bill detection sensor 103, it is determined that the pressing plate 28 could not be moved normally due to foreign matter, and an error is displayed.

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the deposit port 12
At the upper position on the rear side of the rear wall portion 17, an axis line is arranged in the left-right direction so that the building guide support shaft 105 is rotatable in a fixed position.
The building guide support shaft 105 is provided with
The abutment plate 106 and the building guide 107 are fixed and integrated at their upper portions.

The bill guide 107 is fixed to the middle portion of the bill guide support shaft 105 in the axial direction so as to be arranged on the rear wall portion 17 side of the deposit port 12, that is, on the intake mechanism 21 side, and the rear wall portion. By passing through a groove portion (not shown) of 17, it is possible to pass through the rear wall portion 17 and enter into the deposit port 12, or withdraw from the deposit port 12. Further, the contact plate 106 is fixed to the side portion of the support shaft 105 outside the deposit port 12, and the operating arm 8 described above.
The contact portion 109 on the opposite side to the bill press operating shaft 80 of No. 1
It is possible to abut. Then, the contact plate 106 has
One end of the tension spring 110 is engaged, and the spring force of the tension spring 110 pulls the lower part so that the lower part is located forward.

Here, as shown in FIG. 7, the operating arm 8
When 1 is located at the second separated position, the operating arm 81 does not contact the contact plate 106, and the contact plate 10
6 is in a state of being pulled forward by the spring force of the tension spring 110, and comes into contact with a stopper (not shown) to stop. In this way, the bill guide 107 has entered the deposit port 12 beyond the rear wall portion 17 with the contact plate 106 in contact with the stopper (not shown). The upper and front sides of the intake port 19 are covered so as to prevent entry into the intake port 19.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG.
When is moved toward the second proximity position, the operating arm 81 abuts the abutment plate 106 and pushes the abutment plate 106 rearward against the urging force of the tension spring 110 to swing it. Here, the operating arm 8
When 1 is located at the second proximity position and the contact plate 106 is swung, the bill guide 107 completely retracts from the inside of the deposit port 12 beyond the rear wall portion 17.

In this way, the pressing plate 28 of the operating arm 81 is
The bill guide 107, which moves back and forth with respect to the inside of the deposit port 12 by the operation of moving the, is interlocked with the movement of the pressing plate 28. Moreover, when the operating arm 81 moves the pressing plate 28 in the direction approaching the rear wall portion 17, that is, the intake mechanism 21 by the drive disk 76 for bill press and positions it in the first proximity position,
The bill guide 107 will be retracted from the deposit port 12. On the other hand, when the operating arm 81 moves the pressing plate 28 to the side opposite to the rear wall portion 17, that is, the take-in mechanism 21, by the bill press drive disk 76, The guide 107 enters the deposit port 12.

As shown in FIG. 3, a one-way clutch (first pulley) is fitted on the drive shaft 67 for the outlet opening shutter, and the pulley 112 is press-fitted into the pulley 74 of the drive shaft 66 for bill press in alignment with the pulley 74. 2 one-way clutch) 1
13 is coaxially supported via these pulleys 74
A belt 114 is wound around the pulley 112. As a result, the driving force of the electric motor 65 is branched from the bill press drive shaft 66, and the output port drive shaft 67 is formed.
To be transmitted to. A drive disk 116 for the dispensing port shutter is coaxially attached to the one-way clutch 113.

The one-way clutch 113 transmits the rotational force of the pulley 112 to the drive disc 116 for the outlet opening shutter only when the electric motor 65 rotates in the reverse direction, and rotates the pulley 112 when the electric motor 65 rotates in the normal direction. The force is not transmitted to the drive disc 116 for the outlet shutter. That is, when the electric motor 65 rotates in the reverse direction, the drive disc 116 for the outlet opening shutter is rotated, and the electric motor 65 is rotated.
Drive disk 11 for the outlet opening shutter
Stop 6 without rotating it.

Then, the drive disk 1 for the dispensing port shutter
As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, a detection piece portion 117 that projects outward in the radial direction is integrally formed with 16, and from the outer diameter side to the deposit port 12 side in parallel with the axis. The drive pin 118 is fixed so as to project.

The drive disk 116 for this dispensing port shutter
On the lower side, a shutter operating shaft 120 is provided rotatably with its axis lined in the left-right direction and fixed in position. The shutter operating shaft 120 extends from the shutter operating shaft 120 to one side in the radial direction. The operating arm 121 is rotatably supported so as to operate. In this operating arm 121,
A long hole 122 is formed along the length direction, and the drive pin 118 described above is inserted into the long hole 122.

This operating arm 121 has an electric motor 65.
When the drive disc 116 for the outlet opening shutter rotates in one direction via the one-way clutch 113, the drive pin 118 is moved in an arc shape to drive the drive shaft 118 on the opposite side to the shutter operation shaft 120. 6, which is located almost directly above 120, and the shutter operating shaft 120 on the side opposite to the shutter operating shaft 120.
On the other hand, it reciprocates repeatedly between the closing operation positions shown in FIG.

Operation arm 121 of shutter operating shaft 120
An auxiliary arm 123 is rotatably supported on the deposit opening 12 side so as to extend from the shutter operating shaft 120 to one side in the radial direction. On the side opposite to the shutter operating shaft 120 of the auxiliary arm 123, a connecting shaft 124 is supported by arranging an axis line in the left-right direction.
An end portion of the operation piece portion 62 of the dispensing port shutter body 63 on the opposite side to the shutter support shaft 60 is rotatably connected to the 24.

On the rear side of the operating arm 121 of the auxiliary arm 123, an engagement pin 126 that can contact the operating arm 121 in a state where the auxiliary arm 123 and the operating arm 121 substantially overlap each other is fixed. The auxiliary arm 123 and the operating arm 121 include the auxiliary arm 12
A torsion spring 127 that urges the engagement pin 126 of No. 3 to contact the operating arm 121 is provided. The engaging pin 126 prevents the auxiliary arm 123 from moving to the front side of the operating arm 121.

Then, the operating arm 121 is reciprocally rotated between the closing operation position and the opening operation position by the electric motor 65, so that the engaging pin 126 is brought into contact with the operating arm 121 by the urging force of the torsion spring 127. Auxiliary arm 12
3 also normally rotates integrally with the operating arm 121 about the shutter operating shaft 120. In this way, the driving force of the electric motor 65 is transmitted to open and close the dispensing port shutter body 63.

As described above, when the operating arm 121 is moved to the closed operation position by the electric motor 65, the auxiliary arm 123 which is biased by the torsion spring 127 and comes into contact with the operating arm 121 is usually the dispensing port shutter. The main body 63 is located at the closing position where the dispensing port 11 is closed. Here, when the operating arm 121 is located at the closing operation position, the drive disc 1 for the dispensing port shutter
A line connecting the center of 16 and the center of the drive pin 118 is orthogonal to the elongated hole 122 (the drive pin 118 is located at a so-called dead center), and an external force from the working arm 121 side attempts to move it. Also, it cannot be moved. As a result, the engaging pin 12 is attached to the operating arm 121.
The movement of the auxiliary arm 123 in contact with 6 and the outlet main body 63 connected to the auxiliary arm 123 is restricted so that they cannot be opened by the operation of the operator.

This is a state in which, for example, the dispensing banknote is discharged to the dispensing port 11 by the dispensing belts 54 and 55 when the dispensing port shutter main body 63 is located at the closed position.
If the operator opens the dispensing port shutter main body 63 in this state, the bills may be scattered, so that the dispensing port shutter main body 63 is kept closed.

In this state, when the withdrawal opening shutter main body 63 is to be opened with a larger force, the strength is set so that the withdrawal opening shutter main body 63 is damaged before the drive system is damaged. Has been done. This protects the drive system, which is expensive to repair, by damaging the withdrawal port shutter main body 63 that can be replaced at a relatively low cost.

When the operating arm 121 is moved to the open position by the electric motor 65, the auxiliary arm 123 normally positions the outlet opening shutter main body 63 to the open position. Here, the moving arm 1
Even when 21 is positioned at the opening operation position, the line connecting the center of the drive disc 116 for the dispensing port shutter and the center of the drive pin 118 is in a state of being orthogonal to the slot 122 (the drive pin 118 is so-called dead). It is located at a point), and even if it is moved by an external force from the working arm 121 side, it cannot be moved.

Here, the operating arm 121 and the auxiliary arm 1
23 is provided so that the electric motor 65 and the withdrawal opening shutter main body 63 are not directly connected. This is because the torsion spring 127 is used between the operating arm 121 and the auxiliary arm 123, and the excessive force due to the operator's unreasonable operation is absorbed by the torsion spring 127 to prevent the device from being damaged. Specifically, if the operator accidentally tries to close the dispensing port shutter main body 63 at the open position, the operating arm 121 cannot rotate because the drive pin 118 is at the dead point. Since it is restricted, the auxiliary arm 123 deforms the torsion spring 127 to absorb the force of the opening operation of the dispensing port shutter body 63. As a result, an unreasonable force is not introduced into the operating arm 121 whose rotation is restricted, and the damage can be prevented. Further, even when the operator accidentally touches the dispensing port shutter main body 63 when trying to open the dispensing port shutter body 63 and stops it, the damage of the drive system is similarly prevented.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the dispensing port shutter drive disk 116 positions the operating arm 121 in the closing operation position at a predetermined position radially outside the dispensing port shutter drive disk 116, A closing operation position detection sensor 129 is provided at a position for detecting the detection piece portion 117 of the dispensing port shutter drive disk 116, and when the dispensing port shutter drive disk 116 positions the operating arm 121 in the opening operation position. In addition, an opening operation position detection sensor 130 is provided at a position where the detection piece portion 117 of the drive disc 116 for the dispensing port shutter is detected.

As described above, the electric drive source of the dispensing port shutter 59 and the electric drive source of the pressing plate 28 are shared by one electric motor 65. That is, since the electrical drive of the dispensing port shutter 59 and the pressing plate 28 are not performed simultaneously, the one-way clutch 113 drives the dispensing disc shutter drive disk by rotating the electric motor 65 forward. The one-way clutch 75 transmits the driving force to the bill press drive disk 76 while cutting off the driving force to 116, and as a result, only the pressing plate 28 of the pressing plate 28 and the dispensing port shutter 59 is driven. On the other hand, by rotating the electric motor 65 in the reverse direction, the one-way clutch 75 cuts off the driving force to the bill press drive disc 76, and the one-way clutch 113 transmits the driving force to the dispensing port shutter drive disc 116. As a result, of the pressing plate 28 and the dispensing port shutter 59, the dispensing port shutter 5
Drive 9 only.

Moreover, in addition to the electrical drive source of the dispensing port shutter 59 and the electrical drive source of the pressing plate 28, the electrical drive source of the deposit port shutter 37 and the electrical drive source of the building guide 107 are also one. It is shared by the electric motor 65.

The operation of the deposit port 12 and the dispense port 11 of the above-described bill depositing / dispensing machine will be described.

Both the deposit port 12 and the dispense port 11 are in a standby state when both are closed, and the deposit port 12 is
The opening operation is performed mainly when the operator inserts a bill from the outside of the machine body 10 during the depositing process, and the dispensing port 11 is mainly used by the operator to deposit a bill for the dispensing process or a reject bill generated in the depositing process. It is opened when taking it out.

When the deposit port 12 is in the standby state (the state shown in FIGS. 1, 6 and 8), the control unit (not shown) detects the bill press drive disk 76 by the detection piece 77 of the second proximity position. It is stopped at the position detected by the sensor 100, and the operating arm 81 is at the second proximity position. The detection piece 92 of the auxiliary arm 88 connected to the operating arm 81 via the tension springs 94 and 95 is at the position detected by the first proximity position detection sensor 97.

In this state, the pressing plate 28 is attached to the take-in mechanism 21.
The deposit opening shutter 37 is located in the first proximity position that is closest to the input mechanism. The deposit opening shutter body 40 has a space on the opposite side of the pressing plate 28 of the deposit opening 12 from the pressing mechanism 28, that is, the pressing plate 28. The space 44 between the front wall 18 and the front wall 18 is completely covered and closed, and at the same time, the pressing plate 28 is close to the rear wall 17 and the deposit space 35 between them is closed. There is. Therefore, the deposit port 12 is closed as a whole.

Further, when the dispensing port 11 is in the standby state (state of FIG. 5), the control unit (not shown) causes the detection disk portion 117 of the dispensing disc shutter drive disk 116 to be closed. It is stopped at the position detected by
The working arm 121 is in the closed operating position. The auxiliary arm 123 engaged with the operating arm 121 via the engagement pin 126 closes the dispensing port 11 with the dispensing port shutter body 63.

When an operation input for performing a deposit process is made to the operation unit (not shown) while the deposit port 12 and the dispense port 11 are in the standby state, the control unit causes the electric motor 65 to rotate forward. . Then, the one-way clutch 113 maintains the non-rotating state of the drive disc 116 for the dispensing port shutter, while the one-way clutch 75 rotates the bill press drive disc 76 in one direction. Then, the control unit sets the bill press drive disk 76 to the detection piece 77.
Is rotated to a position detected by the second separated position detection sensor 101 to stop the electric motor 65 (state of each deposit port 12 in FIGS. 2, 5, and 7).

The unidirectional rotation of the building press drive disk 76 by the forward rotation of the electric motor 65 causes the operating arm 8 to move.
1 swings from the second proximity position to the second separation position. By this swinging, the auxiliary arm 88 connected to the operating arm 81 via the tension springs 94 and 95 also swings, and the base engaging with the U-shaped groove 89 of the auxiliary arm 88 at the guide roller 31. The part 33 moves forward and the base part 33
The pressing plate 28 provided on the front side moves to the front side, that is, the side separated from the intake mechanism 21. Then, by being pressed by the pressing plate 28, the deposit opening shutter main body 40 is pushed by the pressing plate 2.
The pressure of 8 resists the urging force of the torsion spring 42, and the roller 43
Will be lowered along the front wall portion 18. And
The deposit opening shutter main body 40 is folded according to the space 44 that narrows between the pressing plate 28 and the front wall portion 18,
Finally, the pressing plate 28 is positioned at the first separation position where it is most separated from the intake mechanism 21 and stops. In addition, the operating arm 81
Starts swinging from the second proximity position to the second separation position,
The contact portion 109 of the movable arm 81 separates from the contact plate 106, and the contact plate 106 and the bill guide 107 swing.
Then, the building guide 107 enters the deposit port 12 over the rear wall portion 17 and covers the intake port 19.

Here, if the above-mentioned movement of the pressing plate 28 from the first proximity position to the first separation position is normally performed, the detection piece portion 77 of the bill press drive disk 76 becomes the second separation position detection sensor 101. When detected, the auxiliary arm 88
The detection piece portion 92 is detected by the first separated position detection sensor 98, and in such a detection state, the control portion continues the subsequent operation.

On the other hand, for example, if a foreign matter enters the space 44 for some reason, and the pressing board 28 is stopped by the foreign matter during the above movement of the pressing board 28 from the first proximity position to the first separation position, the bill The detection piece 77 of the press drive disk 76 is the second separation position detection sensor 1.
01, even if the operating arm 81 is located at the second separated position, the operating arm 81 only extends the tension springs 94 and 95, and the pressing plate 28 is maintained in a stopped state.
The detection piece portion 92 of the auxiliary arm 88 is not detected by the first separated position detection sensor 98. Therefore, in such a detection state, the control unit generates an alarm and stops the subsequent operation.

Upon receiving such an alarm, the operator
Although the foreign matter is removed, the auxiliary arm 88 connected to the pressing plate 28 can be easily swung with respect to the operating arm 81 by extending the tension springs 94 and 95, so that the pressing plate 28 can be manually moved. The removal of foreign matter is facilitated.

As described above, the detection piece portion 77 of the bill press drive disk 76 is detected by the second separated position detection sensor 101, and at the same time, the detection piece portion 92 of the auxiliary arm 88 is detected by the first separated position detection sensor 98. In the state of being detected by, the pressing plate 28 is located at the first separated position where it is most separated from the rear wall portion 17, and the deposit space 35 is formed between the pressing plate 28 and the rear wall portion 17. . On the other hand, the pressing plate 2
The space 44 between the front wall portion 8 and the front wall portion 18 is closed by the folded deposit opening shutter body 40.

Deposit space 3 formed in this way
Deposited banknotes will be inserted into 5. At this time, the bill guide 107 does not directly insert the deposited banknotes into the intake port 19, and all the banknotes are erected in the standing plate portion 14
Placed on top.

When a deposited banknote is inserted into the deposit space 35 as described above, the banknote detection sensor 103 detects it, and the control unit (not shown) causes the banknote detection sensor 10 to operate.
The electric motor 65 is normally rotated at a timing based on the detection of the banknote by 3. Then, at this time as well, the one-way clutch 113 is used to drive the drive disc 116 for the dispensing port shutter.
While the non-rotating state is maintained, the one-way clutch 75 causes the bill press drive disk 76 to rotate in one direction. Then, the control unit controls the building press drive disk 76.
The detection piece 77 is rotated to a position detected by the second proximity position detection sensor 100 to stop the electric motor 65 (state of each deposit port 12 in FIGS. 1, 6 and 8).

The unidirectional rotation of the building press drive disk 76 by the forward rotation of the electric motor 65 causes the moving arm 8 to move.
1 swings from the second separated position to the second proximity position. By this swinging, the auxiliary arm 88 connected to the operating arm 81 via the tension springs 94 and 95 also swings, and the base engaging with the U-shaped groove 89 of the auxiliary arm 88 at the guide roller 31. The part 33 moves to the rear, and the base part 33
The pressing plate 28 provided at the position moves from the first separated position to the first close position and comes into contact with the bill inserted into the deposit space 35 to stop, and this is mainly collected by the urging force of the tension spring 94. It is pressed against the kick roller 22 of the insertion mechanism 21. When the pressing plate 28 moves from the first separated position to the first proximity position in this way, the deposit opening shutter body 40 connected to the pressing plate 28 causes the roller 43 to move to the torsion spring 42 according to the amount of movement of the pressing plate 28. It will be raised along the front wall portion 18 by the urging force. As a result, the deposit opening shutter body 4 is expanded in accordance with the expansion of the space 44 between the pressing plate 28 and the front wall portion 18.
0 swings to constantly close this space 44. Further, when the operating arm 81 swings from the second separated position to the second proximity position, the contact portion 109 of the operating arm 81 is brought to the end thereof.
Contacts the contact plate 106 and swings the contact plate 106 and the bill guide 107. Then, the building guide 107
The state of covering the intake port 19 is released by retracting from the inside of the deposit port 12 beyond the rear wall portion 17.

Then, the control part is the second part of the operating arm 81.
When the detection piece 77 of the bill press drive disk 76 is detected by the second proximity position detection sensor 100 by swinging from the separated position to the second proximity position, the capture mechanism 21 starts to capture the bill. That is, the banknote on the rearmost wall 17 side is kicked out by the kick-out roller 22 toward the take-in port 19, and the bills are separated one by one by the take-in roller 23 and the separation roller 24 to the deposit-side transport path 25. Let out.

By taking in the bills in this way, the amount of the deposited bills sandwiched between the pressing plate 28 and the kicking roller 22 also gradually decreases, but the pressing plate is mainly urged by the urging force of the tension spring 94. 28 is a kick roller 22 according to the amount of deposited banknotes.
The bills are always pressed against the kicking roller 22. When all the bills are finally taken in, the pressing plate 28 is located at the first proximity position.

When the banknote detection sensor 103 no longer detects the banknotes, all the banknotes in the deposit space 35 have been taken in, so the control unit stops the driving of the take-in mechanism 21.

At this time, if the above-mentioned movement of the pressing plate 28 from the first separated position to the first adjacent position is normally performed, the detection piece 77 of the bill press drive disk 76 is replaced by the second adjacent position detection sensor 100. After being detected, the banknote detection sensor 1
When the bill is no longer detected in 03, the auxiliary arm 8
The detection piece 92 of No. 8 is detected by the first proximity position detection sensor 97, and in such a detection state, the control unit determines that it is normal and continues the subsequent operation.

On the other hand, if, for example, a foreign matter enters the deposit space 35 for some reason, and the pressing board 28 is stopped by the foreign matter during the above movement of the pressing plate 28 from the first separated position to the first proximity position, Even if the detection piece 77 of the bill press drive disk 76 is detected by the second proximity position detection sensor 100, the operation arm 81 is located at the second separation position, and the banknote detection sensor 103 no longer detects a banknote, the operation is performed. The arm 81 has tension springs 94, 9
Only by extending 5, the pressing plate 28 is maintained in a stopped state, and the detection piece portion 92 of the auxiliary arm 88 is not detected by the first proximity position detection sensor 97. Therefore, in such a detection state, the control unit generates an alarm and stops the subsequent operation.

Upon receiving such an alarm, the operator
Although the foreign matter is removed, the auxiliary arm 88 connected to the pressing plate 28 can be easily swung with respect to the operating arm 81 by extending the tension springs 94 and 95, so that the pressing plate 28 can be manually moved. The removal of foreign matter is facilitated.

As described above, the detection piece 77 of the bill press drive disk 76 is detected by the second proximity position detection sensor 100, and at the same time, the detection piece 92 of the auxiliary arm 88 is detected by the first proximity position detection sensor 97. When the state is detected by (1), the deposit port 12 enters the above-mentioned standby state and is closed as a whole.

In the above deposit processing, the deposit side transport path 25
When it is determined that the bill is a reject bill by the discriminating unit provided in, the reject bill is fed out from the reject-side transport path 58 into the dispensing port 11 in the standby state via the dispensing belts 54 and 55. Be done. Further, when the banknotes are dispensed from inside the machine body 10 in the dispensing process, the dispensed banknotes enter the dispensing port 11 in the standby state from the dispensing side transport path 56 via the dispensing belts 54 and 55. Be paid out.

Then, in the deposit process, when the reject banknotes are fed to the dispensing port 11 at the time when all the deposited banknotes have been identified, and when the dispensing process is completed, the dispensing port 1
The control unit causes the electric motor 65 to rotate in the reverse direction in the case where all the dispensed banknotes are fed to 1. Then, the one-way clutch 75 maintains the non-rotating state of the bill press drive disk 76, while the one-way clutch 1
At 13, the drive disc 116 for the dispensing port shutter rotates in one direction. Then, the control unit rotates the dispensing port shutter drive disk 116 to a position where the detection piece portion 117 is detected by the opening operation position detection sensor 130 to stop the electric motor 65 (the dispensing port 11 in FIG. 6). State).

By the one-way rotation of the drive disk 116 for the outlet opening shutter due to the reverse rotation of the electric motor 65, the operating arm 121 swings from the closing operation position to the opening operation position. Due to this swing, the torsion spring 12 is attached to the operating arm 121.
Auxiliary arm 1 in which the engaging pin 126 is brought into contact with the urging force of
Similarly, 23 also swings, and the dispensing port shutter main body 63 connected to the auxiliary arm 123 rotates to open the dispensing port 11,
Enables the removal of banknotes. For some reason, the operator opens the dispensing port 11 and the dispensing port shutter main body 63 is opened.
If you try to rotate the
7 deforms and absorbs this, and prevents an excessive force from being applied to the operating arm 121.

When the banknote detection sensor (not shown) detects that the banknote is taken out from the dispensing port 11, the control section causes the electric motor 65 to rotate in the reverse direction as described above. Then, the one-way clutch 75 maintains the non-rotating state of the bill press drive disk 76, while the one-way clutch 1
At 13, the drive disc 116 for the dispensing port shutter rotates in one direction. Then, the control unit rotates the dispensing port shutter drive disk 116 to a position where the detection piece portion 117 is detected by the closing operation position detection sensor 129 and stops the electric motor 65 (the dispensing port 11 in FIG. 5). State).

By the one-way rotation of the drive disk 116 for the dispensing port shutter due to the reverse rotation of the electric motor 65, the operating arm 121 swings from the open operation position to the close operation position. Due to this swing, the torsion spring 12 is attached to the operating arm 121.
Auxiliary arm 1 in which the engaging pin 126 is brought into contact with the urging force of
Similarly, 23 also swings, and the dispensing port shutter main body 63 connected to the auxiliary arm 123 rotates to close the dispensing port 11. Even if the operator tries to rotate the dispensing port shutter main body 63 that has closed the dispensing port 11 in the opening direction for some reason, the auxiliary arm 123 cannot swing as described above, and the dispensing port shutter is closed. The body 63 is never opened.

According to the banknote pay-in / pay-out device described above, the pay-in port 12 and the pay-out port 11 are provided separately, the pay-out port 11 is provided with the pay-out port shutter 59, and the pay-in port 12 is provided. Even if the pressing plate 28 is provided, it is not necessary to drive the dispensing port shutter 59 and the pressing plate 28 at the same time, so that these electric power sources are shared by one electric motor 65. As a result, unlike the case where the drive sources are separately provided, the size of the machine body 10 does not increase, and the cost does not increase. Therefore, the size of the machine body 10 can be reduced and the cost can be reduced.

Further, the pressing plate 28 and the dispensing port shutter 59 are separately driven by switching the forward rotation and the reverse rotation of the common electric motor 65. Therefore, even when the driving source is shared by one electric motor 65 and the pressing plate 28 and the dispensing port shutter 59 are driven separately, this can be performed by a simple operation of changing the rotation direction of the electric motor 65. .

Further, when the electric motor 65 is rotated in the forward direction, the one-way clutch 75 transmits the driving force to the pressing plate 28 and the one-way clutch 113 blocks the driving force to the dispensing port shutter 59. On the other hand, when the electric motor 65 is rotated in the reverse direction, the one-way clutch 75 cuts off the driving force to the pressing plate 28 and the one-way clutch 113 transmits the driving force to the dispensing port shutter 59. Mouth shutter 59
Will only drive. Therefore, even when the drive source is shared by one electric motor 65 and the pressing plate 28 and the dispensing port shutter 59 are driven separately, this can be realized with a simple configuration using the one-way clutch 75 and the one-way clutch 113.

In addition, since there is a deposit port shutter 37 that opens and closes the deposit port 12 in association with the movement of the pressing plate 28, the deposit port shutter 37 is driven by the electric motor 65 for driving the bill press.
Can also be opened and closed. Therefore, the electric motor 65 for driving the bill press can share the motor for driving the deposit opening shutter, and also in this respect, the machine body 10 does not increase in size as in the case where the motors are separately provided, and the cost is increased. It doesn't happen. Therefore, the size of the machine body 10 can be further reduced, and the cost can be reduced.

Further, when the pressing plate 28 is at a position away from the take-in mechanism 21, the deposit opening shutter 37 opens the deposit opening 12.
Will be opened, and as a result, the deposit port 1 opened
It is possible to insert the deposited banknotes into the deposit space 35 between the two separating pressing plates 28 and the intake mechanism 21. On the other hand, the pressing plate 28 is used to take the bills into the machine body 21.
When it comes close to, the deposit port shutter 37 closes the deposit port 12, and as a result, erroneous insertion of foreign matter or bills into the deposit port 12 is prevented. In addition, by placing the pressing plate 28 close to the take-in mechanism 21 in a state other than when bills are inserted,
The deposit port shutter 37 closes the deposit port 12, and as a result, erroneous insertion of foreign matter or bills into the deposit port 12 is prevented. Therefore, even if the deposit port shutter 37 is interlocked with the movement of the pressing plate 28, the deposit port shutter 3
7 can be made to function reliably.

Specifically, when the pressing plate 28 is separated from the intake mechanism 21, the deposit opening shutter main body 40, the base end side of which is connected to the pressing plate 28, causes the deposit mechanism 2 of the deposit port 12 to receive.
1 is close to a guide portion provided on the opposite side, and its tip end side is pressed against the pressing plate 28 against the biasing force of the torsion spring 42.
It is folded so that it is close to the
Is opened. On the other hand, from this state, the pressing plate 2
When 8 moves to the side close to the intake mechanism 21, the deposit opening shutter main body 40 is guided from the deposit opening 12 while being guided by the guide portion so that the tip end side of the deposit opening shutter body 40 is positioned on the opening side of the deposit opening 12 by the biasing force of the torsion spring 42. To the position at which the pop-out of the coin is restricted and the deposit port 12 is closed. Therefore, even if the deposit port shutter 37 is interlocked with the movement of the pressing plate 28, the deposit port shutter 37 can be made to function reliably, and this can be realized with a simple configuration.

Further, the pressing plate 28 has tension springs 94, 95.
Since the electric motor 65 is driven via the electric motor 65, the electric motor 65 continues to rotate due to the presence of the tension springs 94 and 95 even if the movement of the pressing plate 28 is stopped on the way by foreign matter. As a result, the electric motor 6 is
The relationship between the position data of the drive system on the 5 side and the position data of the drive system on the pressing plate 28 side with respect to the tension springs 94 and 95 is deviated. Then, the control unit controls the second proximity position detection sensor 1
00 and the second separated position detection sensor 101 and the detection results of the first proximity position detection sensor 97 and the first separated position detection sensor 98, the position of the drive system closer to the electric motor 65 than the tension springs 94 and 95. The deviation of the relationship between the position data of the operating arm 81, which is the data, and the position data of the auxiliary arm 88, which is the position data of the drive system on the pressing plate 28 side with respect to the tension springs 94 and 95, is detected, and the foreign matter in the deposit port 12 is detected. The presence or absence of is determined. Since the foreign matter can be detected based on the movement of the pressing plate 28 being stopped midway in this way, it is possible to detect the mixing of the foreign matter of various materials including the non-magnetic material.

Moreover, the control section detects the detection results of the second proximity position detection sensor 100 and the second separation position detection sensor 101, which detect the position data of the drive system on the electric motor 65 side of the tension springs 94 and 95, and the tension. The detection results of the first proximity position detection sensor 97 and the first separation position detection sensor 98 that detect the position data of the position data of the drive system closer to the pressing plate 28 than the springs 94 and 95, and the detection result of the banknote detection sensor 103. To determine the presence or absence of foreign matter in the deposit port 12,
When the movement of the pressing plate 28 is stopped halfway, it is possible to distinguish whether it is due to a foreign substance or a bill. Therefore, it is possible to reliably detect the mixture of foreign substances of various materials including the non-magnetic material.

Specifically, when the second proximity position detection sensor 100 detects that the operating arm 81 is located at the second proximity position, which is expected to position the pressure plate 28 at the first proximity position, the pressure plate 28 is detected. When the first proximity position detection sensor 97 does not detect that 28 is located at the first proximity position, and when the pressing plate 28 is expected to be located at the first separation position, the operating arm 81 is located at the second separation position. When the second separated position detection sensor 101 detects that
The first separated position detection sensor 98 is positioned at the separated position.
The foreign matter can be detected both when the detection is not performed. Therefore, the foreign matter can be detected both in the case where the pressing plate 28 moves in the direction approaching the intake mechanism 21 and in the case where the pressing plate 28 moves in the direction away from the intake mechanism 21. It is possible to reliably detect a foreign substance.

In addition, since the bill guide 107 is inserted into the deposit port 12 in a state where the pressing plate 28 is separated from the intake mechanism 21, the bill guide 107 is inserted when a bill is inserted into the deposit port 12. The bills are prevented from being directly inserted into the intake port 19. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, the bills that are taken in later than the bills that are closest to the taking-in mechanism 21 and should be taken in first by the taking-in mechanism 21.
It does not enter the first intake port 19 first. Therefore, the bill inserted into the deposit port 12 can be reliably taken into the machine body 10 by the take-in mechanism 21 without causing a jam.

Furthermore, when the pressing plate 28 moves to the opposite side of the take-in mechanism 21 so that the bill can be inserted into the deposit port 12, the bill guide 107 enters the deposit port 12. The bills inserted into the deposit port 12 are the capture port 1
It will be in the state of preventing being directly thrust into 9. On the other hand, when the pressing plate 28 moves to the take-in mechanism 21 side after the bill has been inserted into the deposit port 12, the bill guide 107 retracts from the deposit port 12 to allow the bill to reach the intake port 19. Ready to go. Therefore, the bill inserted into the deposit port 12 can be more reliably taken into the machine body 10 by the take-in mechanism 21 without causing a jam.

Further, since the building guide 107 moves back and forth with respect to the deposit port 12 in conjunction with the movement of the pressing plate 28, the building guide 107 can be moved back and forth by the electric motor 65 for driving the building press. Therefore, the drive source for driving the building press and the drive source for driving the building guide can be commonly used, and unlike the case where the drive sources are separately provided, the machine body 10 does not become large and the cost does not increase. . Therefore,
The size of the machine body 10 can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced.
