Description

  The present invention relates to a paper sheet handling apparatus that takes in and discharges paper sheets.

  A banknote depositing / withdrawing apparatus built in an automatic teller machine used in a financial institution is equipped with a storage / discharging box for storing deposited banknotes and discharging them as withdrawal banknotes, so-called banknote refluxing. . It is necessary to provide a storage / discharge box that recycles the banknotes with a banknote inlet for taking in banknotes and a banknote outlet for discharging banknotes. In addition, it is widely known that stable collection is possible when banknotes are taken in intentionally while slightly deforming the banknotes in order to increase the apparent rigidity of the banknotes at the banknote entrance. On the other hand, it is desirable not to give a deformation | transformation to a banknote in order to implement | achieve smooth discharge | release at a banknote discharge port.

  By sharing the banknote inlet and the banknote outlet, the occupied space and the number of parts can be reduced. However, in order to make the banknote inlet and banknote outlet common, as described above, it is necessary to give the banknote a deformation when taking it in, and not to give it a deformation when discharging it. is there.

  As a means for solving this, there is an out-of-plane deformation imparting member described in Patent Document 1, for example, which changes the posture in accordance with the taking and discharging of banknotes. This out-of-plane deformation imparting member is pivotally supported so as to be able to swing around the rotation axis, and when a bill is taken in, it rotates so that a part (front end portion) of the bill enters the bill conveyance surface as the bill enters. The protruding tip portion deforms the bill. On the other hand, when the banknote is released, the out-of-plane deformation imparting member rotates in the reverse direction around the rotation axis to a position where the tip does not deform the banknote due to the moment due to the eccentric gravity center.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2000-187752 (“0055”, FIGS. 3 and 4)

  The out-of-plane deformation imparting member described in Patent Document 1 is moved by the bills conveyed in the taking-in direction and changes its posture. Usually, the out-of-plane deformation imparting member is in a state when the bill is released. That is, only the tip of the out-of-plane deformation imparting member protrudes slightly from the banknote transport surface due to the moment due to the eccentric center of gravity. And, at the time of taking in the banknote, the front end of the first banknote to be taken is hooked on the slightly projecting tip, and the out-of-plane deformation imparting member rotates around the rotation axis, The posture is changed until the leading end is in a position where the bill is sufficiently deformed.

  However, in order to prevent deformation of the banknote when the banknote is released, the amount of protrusion from the banknote transport surface at the time of banknote release at the tip of the out-of-plane deformation imparting member must be made small. In that case, at the time of banknote taking-in, the possibility that the first taken-in banknote will not be caught at the tip, that is, the out-of-plane deformation imparting member does not appear increases. If it becomes so, since a taken-in banknote cannot be changed, a stacking fault will generate | occur | produce. On the contrary, if the amount of protrusion of the tip of the out-of-plane deformation imparting member from the bill conveyance surface at the time of releasing the bill is increased in order to make it easy for the incoming bill to be caught on the tip of the out-of-plane deformation imparting member, The banknote to be processed is subjected to unnecessary deformation by the tip portion of the out-of-plane deformation imparting member, and the possibility that the banknote stays or the like is increased.

  Next, the dispensing operation of the banknote depositing / withdrawing apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 8, among the banknotes stored in the storage / discharge box 7, the banknote to be withdrawn is fed out to the transport path 5. The banknotes fed out to the transport path 5 are transported and accumulated in the deposit / withdrawal port 2 after the banknote determination unit 3 determines the denomination and the number of sheets. FIG. 9 shows a flow of the withdrawal operation.

  Next, the storage / discharge box 7 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 10 is a front view of the storage / discharge box 7 mounted on the banknote deposit and withdrawal device 1. This storage discharge box 7 is a vertical banknote cassette that stacks banknotes in a horizontal posture, and stores, separates and feeds out banknotes. FIG. 11 is a side view of the storage / discharge box 7 showing a state of storing banknotes, and FIG. 12 is a side view of the storage / discharge box 7 showing a state of discharging (separating / feeding out) banknotes.

  The storage / release box 7 is a feed roller 701 that is a first roller, a backup roller 702, a gate roller 703 that is a second roller, and a third roller having a flexible sheet that extends radially about a half circumference. A certain sheet roller 704, a deformation imparting portion 707 that swings around a rotation axis and changes its posture, a pickup roller 711 that rotates when a bill is released and feeds a bill, a stacking separation guide 705, a separation guide 709, A transmission sensor 788 including a light emitting element 788a and a light receiving element 788b, a pressing plate 706 that supports the weight of the stored banknote, a side plate 708 that surrounds the stored banknote, a movable side plate 710, and a side wall 713 are included. .

  The feed roller 701 is a roller that is driven via a gear from a drive source (not shown). When banknotes are stacked (when banknotes are stored), the feed roller 701 is clockwise in FIG. 11, and when banknotes are released, it is counterclockwise in FIG. Rotate each. The backup roller 702 is arranged such that its rotation axis is parallel to the rotation axis of the feed roller 701 and its outer peripheral surface is opposed to the outer peripheral surface of the feed roller 701 across the banknote passage, and is rotated by being driven by the feed roller 701. It is a driving roller.

  The gate roller 703 is attached to a rotating shaft arranged in parallel to the rotating shaft of the feed roller 701 at a position downstream of the backup roller 702 in the banknote advancing direction when the banknote is taken in on the outer periphery of the feed roller 701. . The sheet roller 704 is attached to the rotation shaft of the gate roller 703 with its axial position shifted from the gate roller 703, and the flexible sheet is attached radially to the rotation shaft of the gate roller 703. Further, the rotation shafts of the gate roller 703 and the sheet roller 704 are a one-way clutch that transmits only the rotation in the direction in which the gate roller 703 and the sheet roller 704 are rotated in the bill storage direction (counterclockwise rotation in FIG. 11). Via a rotation shaft of the feed roller 701.

  The deformation imparting unit 707 is fitted on the rotation shaft of the sheet roller 704. The pickup roller 711 is connected to the feed roller 701 and rotates in the accumulation direction and the separation direction.

  The side wall 713 and the movable side plate 710 can be set in the mounting position according to the size of the bill. It is appropriate to set the width of the side wall 713 to a value about 2 mm to 10 mm larger than the width direction size (long side dimension) of the banknote. In addition, it is appropriate to set the mounting position of the movable side plate 710 so that the distance between the side plate 708 and the movable side plate 710 is about 2 mm larger than the short side dimension of the banknote handled by the banknote depositing and dispensing apparatus 1.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the separation guide 709 is arranged with a guide surface 709 a formed along the outer peripheral surface of the feed roller 701 facing the outer peripheral surface from the backup roller 702 to the gate roller 703 of the feed roller 701. The bills taken in or discharged by the rotation of the feed roller 701 move along the guide surface 709a of the separation guide 709. The stacking separation guide 705 is arranged with the guide surface facing the deformation applying portion 707, the sheet roller 704, and the push plate 706 from the gate roller 703 to the downstream side in the rotation direction when the feed roller 701 takes in the bills. When the bills are taken in, the bills that have moved along the guide surface 709 a of the separation guide 709 pass through the position of the gate roller 703 and are guided by the guide surface of the stacking separation guide 705 to move.

  Next, the banknote storage operation of the storage discharge box 7 will be described.

  When a deposit transaction is instructed by the customer operation unit 105, the push plate 706 is lowered to a position where the already stored banknote or the push plate 706 already in the storage / release box 7 does not block the transmission sensor 788. By this operation, a space is secured between the stacking and separating guide 705 and the already stored banknote (state of FIG. 11), and the banknote can be taken in from the outside.

  Subsequently, the bills conveyed to the storage / discharge box 7 are nipped and conveyed between the feed roller 701 and the backup roller 702 and between the feed roller 701 and the gate roller 703, and a space between the stacking separation guide 705 and the already stored bills. Is taken in.

  At this time, the sheet roller 704 and the deformation imparting unit 707 operate as shown in FIG. Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 14, a detailed description will be given of a mechanism in which the deformation imparting unit 707 repeats protrusion and retraction. As shown in FIG. 14, the deformation imparting portion 707 has an opening through which the rotation shaft 803 of the sheet roller 704 is inserted, and rotates at the positions of the cam portion 801 b and the cam portion 802 b fixed to the rotation shaft 803 of the sheet roller 704. The shaft 803 is fitted. The rotating shaft 803, the cam portion 801b, and the cam portion 802b constitute a switching unit.

  The deformation imparting portion 707 is formed on the lower end portion of the drawing on the extension line of a straight line connecting the projecting portion 801a and the projecting portion 802a and the projecting portion 801a and the projecting portion 802a that are formed to face each other on the inner peripheral surface of the opening. A rigid plate-like member having a slit 801d and a protrusion 801c formed on the upper end opposite to the slit 801d across the opening and protruding upward in the figure. A pin 709b is fitted into the slit portion 801d, and the pin 709a is fixed to the separation guide 709. That is, the deformation imparting portion 707 is guided by the pins 709b and can move up and down in the figure.

  Each of the cam portion 801b and the cam portion 802b is an annular member that is fitted to the rotation shaft 803 of the sheet roller 704 while shifting its position in the axial direction. The cam portion 801b has a part of its outer peripheral surface that is thin. The cam portion 802b protrudes in the outer peripheral direction with a part of the outer peripheral surface being thick. The thin portion of the cam portion 801b and the protruding portion of the cam portion 802b are located on opposite sides of the rotation shaft 803.

  The cam portion 801b and the protrusion 801a are installed at the same position in the axial direction, and the cam portion 802b and the protrusion 802a are installed at the same position in the axial direction. That is, in the deformation imparting portion 707, the shaded portion in FIG. 14 is formed with a thickness t, and the non-shaded portion has a thickness s on the front side in the axial direction of the rotation shaft 803 with respect to the shaded portion. The protrusion 802a is formed only in the portion of the wall thickness s on the near side in the axial direction.

  In FIG. 14A, the protrusion 802a and the cam portion 802b are in contact with each other, and the protrusion 801a is opposed to the thin portion of the cam portion 801b. Therefore, the deformation imparting portion 707 is pushed downward by the cam portion 802b. ing. In the state of FIG. 14A, the deformation imparting portion 707 is at the lower limit position, and the projection 801c is in contact with the moving bill from the guide surface 709a of the separation guide 709 downward in the drawing, that is, in the state. It is formed to be in a position that does not.

  Thereafter, as the sheet roller 704 (that is, the rotation shaft 803 of the sheet roller 704) rotates counterclockwise, the protrusion 802a is disengaged from the protrusion of the cam 802b, and the protrusion 801a and the cam 801b come into contact with each other. Thus, the deformation imparting portion 707 is pushed upward by the cam portion 801b ((b) in FIG. 14). From FIG. 14C to FIG. 14F, the radial distance from the center of the rotation shaft 803 of the outer peripheral surface of the cam portion 801b (the surface abutting against the protrusion 801a) is the same, and the deformation imparting portion 707 The protrusion 801c protrudes upward from the guide surface 709a of the separation guide 709 in the drawing, and is held at a position where it is deformed by contacting a moving bill.

  When the rotation of the sheet roller 704 further progresses, the portion of the outer peripheral surface of the cam portion 801b that has become shorter in the radial direction from the center of the rotation shaft 803 rotates to the upper position in the figure, and the protrusion 801a and the cam portion 801b Instead, the outer peripheral surface of the cam portion 802b (the surface that contacts the projection 802a) increases in the radial direction from the center of the rotation shaft 803, and the outer peripheral surface of the cam portion 802b begins to contact the projection 802a (see FIG. 14 (g)). For this reason, the deformation | transformation provision part 707 pushes down the protrusion part 802a by the cam part 802b, and the protrusion part 801c retreats below again from the guide surface 709a of the separation guide 709 to the position which becomes downward on the figure. By repeating this operation, the deformation imparting unit 707 repeats the protrusion and retraction of the separation guide 709 from the guide surface 709a, that is, the protrusion and retraction of the integrated separation guide 705 from the guide surface.

  When the deformation imparting portion 707 protrudes, the protruding portion 801c extends from the banknote surface side opposite to the surface facing the guide surface of the stacking separation guide 705 from the bank surface side opposite to the guide surface of the stacking separation guide 705 to the conveyed banknote. It protrudes (wraps with the stacking separation guide 705) and abuts against the banknote to be conveyed to impart out-of-plane deformation to the banknote. When the deformation | transformation provision part 707 retract | saves, it is natural, but the projection part 801c does not contact | abut a banknote, an out-of-plane deformation does not arise, and nothing interferes with discharge | release of a banknote. The guide surface 709a of the separation guide 709 and the guide surface of the integrated separation guide 705 are not strictly the same, but will be described here as being the same.

  FIG. 15 shows the timing at which the sheet roller 704 and the projection 801c of the deformation applying unit 707 wrap with the integrated separation guide 705 during this operation. The horizontal axis represents the angle when the sheet roller 704 makes one rotation, and the vertical axis represents the wrapping state of the sheet roller 704 and the projection 801c of the deformation imparting unit 707 and the integrated separation guide 705. Moreover, the alphabet in a graph respond | corresponds to the alphabet which shows seven drawings which each show the rotational position from which the rotating shaft 803 of FIG. 14 differs.

  As shown in FIG. 15, except for a slight angle (about 50 degrees), at least one of the sheet roller 704 and the deformation imparting portion 707 always wraps with the stacking separation guide 705 facing each other. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 16, the reaction force 812 of the stacking separation guide 705 and the sheet roller 704 or the deformation applying portion 707 are transferred to the banknote 810 held and conveyed between the feed roller 701 and the gate roller 703 in the direction of the arrow 811. By applying the reaction force 813, the banknote 810 can be continuously deformed. If the deformation | transformation shown in FIG. 16 is given to a banknote, the apparent rigidity of a banknote can be made high and a banknote can be taken in stably. If the sheet roller 704 rotates in synchronization with the feed roller 701, the deformation of the banknote is not performed when the angle at which neither the sheet roller 704 nor the deformation applying unit 707 wraps with the stacking separation guide 705 is about 50 degrees. There is no return (for example, when the sheet roller 704 is 78 msec / rotation, the time during which neither the sheet roller 704 nor the deformation imparting unit 707 wraps with the integrated separation guide 705 is about 10 msec).

  Subsequently, the banknotes that are not clamped between the feed roller 701 and the gate roller 703 and become unconstrained in the space between the stacking and separating guide 705 and the stored banknotes are radially expanded by the sheet roller 704 that is continuously rotating. The sheet is sent to the lower side of FIG.

  If the banknotes are continuously taken in, the space between the stacking separation guide 705 and the stored banknotes is narrowed, and subsequent banknotes cannot be taken in. In order to avoid this, when the transmission sensor 788 detects an obstacle for a predetermined time (for example, 70 msec) or longer, the push plate 706 is lowered until no obstacle is detected, and the space between the stacking separation guide 705 and the stored banknotes. Secure. The transmission sensor 788 does not react even if the optical path between the light emitting element 788a and the light receiving element 788b is temporarily interrupted when the taken banknote falls on the already stored banknote, but the storage stacked on the push plate 706 When the position of the upper end of the bill becomes higher than a preset position and the optical path between the light emitting element 788a and the light receiving element 788b is continuously interrupted for a predetermined time, it is necessary to react and lower the push plate 706 Outputs a signal indicating that there is.

  Next, the banknote discharge | release operation | movement of the storage discharge box 7 is demonstrated. When discharging (feeding out) banknotes from the storage / discharge box 7, the control unit 9 first rotates the rotating shaft 803 to move the sheet roller 704 and the deformation imparting unit 707 to the feeding shown in FIG. Withdrawing to a position where it does not interfere with the bill, the rotation of the rotating shaft 803 is stopped in that state. Subsequently, the control unit 9 drives the push plate 706 upward in FIG. When the stored bill pushes up the stacking separation guide 705 upward and it is confirmed (detected by a sensor not shown) that the pickup roller 711 is in contact with the bill on the upper surface, the upward movement of the pressing plate 706 is temporarily stopped. The Then, the pickup roller 711 and the feed roller 701 are rotated in the separation direction (the rotation direction opposite to the rotation direction at the time of bill storage), and the stored bills are separated and conveyed one by one from the top to the storage discharge box 7 one by one. Is done. Since the gate roller 703 is stopped by the effect of the one-way clutch, when the uppermost banknote is separated and transported by the pickup roller 711, the second and subsequent banknotes are not transported in an overlapping manner. By this operation, the banknote is smoothly discharged without any interference.

  Only when the cam portion 802b is deleted and the deformation imparting portion main body 800 protrudes upward, the cam portion 801b applies an external force to the deformation imparting portion main body 800, and the deformation imparting portion main body 800 is retracted downward. May be a free fall due to gravity.

  Alternatively, both the cam portion 801b and the cam portion 802b may be deleted, and the deformation imparting portion main body 800 may be raised and lowered using a drive source such as a solenoid.

(Second Embodiment)
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. The difference between the present embodiment and the first embodiment is that the deformation imparting unit 707a is driven by the rotation shaft 803 of the sheet roller 704 at the time of taking in the banknote, but the deformation imparting part 707a is retracted when the banknote is separated and released. The drive source is provided, and the deformation imparting portion 707a is composed of four sheets that are radially fixed to the gear 804 fitted to the rotation shaft 803 in the same manner as the sheet roller 704. Since other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted.

  In the present embodiment, the sheet roller 704 is fixed to the rotation shaft 803 and rotates together with the rotation shaft 803. A gear 804 is also fitted to the rotary shaft 803 so as to be rotatable with respect to the rotary shaft 803, and a stopper 810 and a stopper 811 are fixed to positions on the side surface in the axial direction of the gear 804 at a predetermined angle. A stopper 812 that is in contact with the stopper 810 and the stopper 811 is fixed at one place on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 803. As described above, in the gear 804, as the deformation imparting portion 707a, four sheets are dispersed radially at a predetermined angle and fixed radially around the rotation shaft 803. These four sheets are formed in such a length that the tip protrudes from the guide surface of the integrated separation guide 705 (wraps on the guide surface of the integrated separation guide 705) when the gear 804 is rotated by the rotating shaft 803. ing.

  The stopper 812 contacts the stopper 810 when the rotating shaft 803 rotates counterclockwise in the figure, and contacts the stopper 811 when the rotating shaft 803 rotates clockwise in the figure. In other words, in a state where the rotating shaft 803 is fixed, when the gear 804 rotates counterclockwise in the drawing, the stopper 812 contacts the stopper 810, and the rotation of the gear 804 is stopped by the stopper 810. When the rotating shaft 803 further rotates counterclockwise with the stopper 812 in contact with the stopper 810, the gear 804 is fixed to the rotating shaft 803 together with the deformation imparting portions 707a (four sheets) fixed radially. At the same time as the sheet roller 704 is rotated counterclockwise. On the contrary, when the rotating shaft 803 further rotates in the clockwise direction in a state where the stopper 812 is in contact with the stopper 811, the gear 804 is combined with the deformation imparting portions 707 a (four sheets) fixed radially, and the rotating shaft 803. At the same time as the sheet roller 704 fixed to, the sheet rotates in the clockwise direction.

  In addition, the stopper 810, the stopper 811, and the stopper 812 are arranged in such a manner that the four sheets of the deformation imparting portion 707a are dispersed in the arc region where the sheet of the sheet roller 704 is not disposed when the stopper 812 is in contact with the stopper 810. In a state where the stopper 812 is in contact with the stopper 811, the four sheets of the deformation imparting portion 707 a are dispersedly disposed in the arc region where the sheet of the sheet roller 704 is disposed. It is installed in a positional relationship.

  Further, a gear 805 that meshes with the gear 804 is provided. The gear 805 transmits a one-way clutch that transmits the clockwise rotation in FIG. 17 to the gear 805 but does not transmit the counterclockwise rotation to the gear 805. The shaft 806 is coupled through the via. A gear 807 is fixed to the other end of the shaft 806, and a rack 813 operated by a solenoid 808 and a spring 809 is engaged with the gear 807. When the solenoid 808 is energized, the rack 813 moves in the direction in which the spring 809 extends (upward in the figure), and the gear 807 engaged with the rack 813 rotates in the counterclockwise direction in the figure. When the solenoid 808 is de-energized, the rack 813 moves downward in the figure by the retracting force of the spring 809, and the gear 807 engaged with the rack 813 rotates in the clockwise direction in the figure.

  In this embodiment, the switching unit includes a gear 805, a shaft 806, a gear 807, a solenoid 808, a spring 809, a stopper 810, a stopper 811, a stopper 812, and a rack 813.

  The state at the time of banknote storage is shown in FIG. When stacking banknotes, the control unit 9 rotates the rotary shaft 803 in the counterclockwise direction using a drive source (not shown). When the rotating shaft 803 rotates counterclockwise, the stopper 812 comes into contact with the stopper 810, and the sheet of the sheet roller 704 and the sheet of the deformation imparting portion 707a are counterclockwise in a state where the sheet is apparently around the shaft 803. Rotate clockwise. Thereby, the sheet | seat of the deformation | transformation provision part 707a protrudes and rotates so that it may wrap on the guide surface of the accumulation | aggregation separation guide 705, and can always give an out-of-plane deformation | transformation with respect to an accumulation | aggregation bill, and stable accumulation | stacking is attained. At this time, the gear 805 engaged with the gear 804 rotates in the clockwise direction in the figure, but this rotation is not transmitted to the rotating shaft 806 due to the presence of the one-way clutch.

  Next, the operation at the time of banknote release will be described. When the storing of the bills is completed, the control unit 9 first rotates the rotating shaft 803 in the counterclockwise direction using a driving source (not shown). After rotating the sheet roller 704 to the position shown in FIG. 17B, the rotation shaft 803 is fixed. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 17C, the solenoid 808 is energized to move the rack 813 upward in FIG. 17 while extending the spring 809. At that time, the gear 807 and the rotating shaft 806 rotate counterclockwise. However, the gear 805 does not rotate because of the one-way clutch described above, and the deformation imparting portion 707a does not rotate. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 17D, the solenoid 808 is de-energized, and the rack 813 is moved downward by the retracting force of the spring 809. The gear 807 rotates in the clockwise direction, and accordingly, the deformation imparting unit 707a rotates in the counterclockwise direction via the rotation shaft 806, the gear 805, and the gear 804. On the other hand, since the rotation shaft 803 is fixed, the sheet roller 704 does not rotate. The controller 9 continuously repeats the energization and deactivation of the solenoid several times. Finally, as shown in FIG. 17E, the stopper 811 comes into contact with the stopper 812, and the deformation imparting portion 707a is completely moved. It can be retreated from the bill conveyance path. The retracted deformation imparting portion 707a can hold the position by the spring force of the spring 809. Subsequent banknote discharge | release operation | movement is equivalent to the operation | movement described in 1st Embodiment.

  According to the present embodiment, at the time of banknote storage, the deformation imparting unit 707a is rotated using the rotation of the rotation shaft of the sheet roller 704, and the flexible sheet is wrapped on the guide surface of the stacking separation guide 705 on the passage surface of the banknote. In a state in which the deformation imparting portion 707a is retreated from the passage surface of the bill using the solenoid 808 and the spring 809 when the bill is separated and released by projecting and rotating so as to contact the bill. Therefore, when the banknotes are separated and released, the deformation imparting portion 707a does not contact the banknotes to cause unnecessary deformation of the banknotes, and the banknotes can be separated and released stably.

(Third embodiment)
A third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that a deformation imparting portion 707b made of a rigid plate-like member is rotatably fitted on the rotation shaft 803 of the sheet roller 704, and the deformation imparting portion 707b A switching unit 904 configured to include a flexible sheet that switches between protruding and retracting to the bill conveyance path is provided, and the switching unit 904 is configured to be operated by a drive motor 999 for the sheet roller 704. And a point that the separation guide 709 is provided with stoppers 709c and 709b that define a rotation limit around the rotation shaft 803 of the deformation applying portion 707b, and a lever that engages the sheet of the switching means 904 in the deformation applying portion 707b. 917 is provided. Since other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, illustration and description thereof are omitted.

  The storage / release container 7 of this embodiment includes a drive motor 999, a gear 901 that is rotationally driven by the drive motor 999, a gear 902 that meshes with the gear 901, and a counterclockwise rotation with the gear 902 (the sheet roller 704 is counterclockwise). A rotation shaft 803 coupled via a one-way clutch that transmits only the rotation (rotation rotating in the rotation direction), a sheet roller 704 coupled to the rotation shaft 803, and a plate-like member rotatably fitted on the rotation shaft 803. And a gear 903 that meshes with the gear 902, a rotation drive shaft 903a coupled to the gear 903, and a switching means 904 coupled to the rotation drive shaft 903a.

  The switching unit 904 includes a plurality of flexible sheets radially attached around the boss portion fixed to the rotation drive shaft 903a. The rotation drive shaft 903a and the rotation shaft 803 are parallel to each other, and the lever 917 is planted perpendicularly to the plate surface of the deformation imparting portion 707b. Therefore, when the switching unit 904 rotates, the sheet of the switching unit 904 comes into contact with the lever 917 of the deformation applying unit 707b and applies a force for rotating the deformation applying unit 707b around the rotation shaft 803. Yes. The drive motor 999 can rotate the gear 901 in both the clockwise direction and the counterclockwise direction.

  When the switching unit 904 is driven to rotate in the clockwise direction by the rotation drive shaft 903a, one of the sheets engages with the lever 917 of the deformation applying unit 707b, and the deformation applying unit 707b is rotated in the counterclockwise direction. Rotate until it stops against the stopper 709c. On the contrary, when the switching unit 904 is driven to rotate counterclockwise by the rotation drive shaft 903a, one of the sheets engages with the lever 917 of the deformation imparting portion 707b and moves the deformation imparting portion 707b in the clockwise direction. And rotate until it stops against the stopper 709d.

  The state in which the deformation imparting portion 707b stops when it hits the stopper 709c is a position / posture that deforms the bill that protrudes and passes through the state where the deformation imparting portion 707b wraps on the bill conveyance path on the guide surface of the stacking separation guide 705. The state in which the imparting portion 707b stops when it hits the stopper 709d is a position / posture in which the deformation imparting portion 707b does not come into contact with the bill that is retracted from the bill conveyance path.

  (A) of FIG. 18 shows the state at the time of banknote discharge | emission, and (b) of FIG. 18 has shown the state at the time of banknote accommodation. At the time of banknote discharge, the control unit 9 first rotates the sheet roller 704 in the counterclockwise direction using the drive motor 999 until the state shown in FIG. After rotating the sheet roller 704 to the position shown in FIG. 18A, the rotation shaft 803 is fixed. Next, the drive motor 999 is driven to rotate the gear 901 counterclockwise in the drawing, and the switching means 904 is rotated counterclockwise via the gear 902 and the gear 903. When the switching means 904 rotates counterclockwise, the flexible sheet of the switching means 904 engages with the lever 917 of the deformation applying portion 707b, and the deformation applying portion 707b is rotated clockwise in the figure until it hits the stopper 709d. To the state shown in FIG.

  In the state of FIG. 18A, the deformation imparting portion 707b and the sheet roller 704 are retracted from the bill conveyance path, and no deformation is imparted to the bill that passes. That is, when the banknotes are released from the storage / discharge box 7, there is no fear of unnecessary deformation of the banknotes, and the banknotes are stably separated and released. At this time, the gear 902 rotates clockwise in the drawing, but the sheet roller 704 does not rotate due to the presence of the one-way clutch. In addition, the switching means 904 continuously rotates counterclockwise in the figure, but the sheet of the switching means 904 that engages with the lever 917 is flexible and exceeds the deformation imparting portion 707b beyond the stopper 709d. Never rotate.

  On the other hand, when storing bills, the control unit 9 drives the drive motor 999 to rotate the gear 901 in the clockwise direction. Along with this, the gear 902 rotates counterclockwise and transmits the counterclockwise rotation to the sheet roller 704 via a one-way clutch. Further, the switching means 904 rotates in the clockwise direction via the gear 903, the flexible sheet of the switching means 904 engages with the lever 917 of the deformation applying portion 707b, and the deformation applying portion 707b hits the stopper 709c. Until it is rotated counterclockwise until the state shown in FIG.

  In the state of FIG. 18B, the tip of the deformation imparting portion 707b protrudes into the bill conveyance path, and imparts necessary deformation to the bill that passes. That is, when storing a banknote in the storage discharge box 7, a necessary deformation | transformation is stably given to a banknote and storage of a banknote is performed stably. At this time, the switching means 904 continuously rotates in the clockwise direction in the figure, but the sheet of the switching means 904 engaged with the lever 917 is flexible, and the deformation applying portion 707b is connected to the stopper 709c. Do not rotate beyond.

(Fourth embodiment)
A fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The present embodiment is different from the second embodiment in that a drive source different from the drive source of the sheet roller 704 is not provided to retract the deformation imparting portion 707c from the bill conveyance path, but a drive source of the sheet roller 704 It is the point which comprised so that. Since other configurations are the same as those of the second embodiment, illustration and description thereof are omitted.

  As shown in FIGS. 19A, 19B, and 19C, the storage / release container 7 of the present embodiment includes a drive motor 999, a rotary shaft 701a that is rotationally driven by the drive motor 999, and a rotary shaft 701a. 19, a gear 906 that meshes with the gear 905, a gear 907 that meshes with the gear 907, a gear 908 and a gear 909 that mesh with the gear 907, and the timepiece in FIG. A rotary shaft 803 coupled via a one-way clutch that transmits rotation only in the rotational direction, a gate roller 703 coupled to the rotational shaft 803, a rotational shaft 909a coupled to the gear 909, and a rotational shaft 909a A gear 910 that meshes with the gear 910, a gear 912 that meshes with the gear 911, a rotating shaft 912a coupled to the gear 912, The gear 913 coupled to the rotation shaft 912a, the gear 914 meshing with the gear 913, the rotation shaft 914a coupled to the gear 914, and the rotation shaft 914a transmit rotation only in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. 19B. A gear 915 coupled via a one-way clutch, a gear 916 that is inserted through the rotary shaft 803 and meshes with the gear 915, and a deformation imparting portion 707c fixed to the gear 916 are included.

  In the present embodiment, the gears 905 to 916 and the rotation shafts 909a, 912a and 914a constitute a switching unit.

  The sheet roller 704 includes a flexible sheet that is radially arranged around (around the half circumference of the outer circumference), and the deformation imparting portion 707c is also centered around the rotation shaft 803 around (around the half circumference of the outer circumference). And a plurality of flexible sheets arranged radially. The plurality of flexible sheets of the deformation imparting portion 707c protrudes from the guide surface of the stacking separation guide 705 toward the banknote conveyance path side when the gear 916 rotates (wraps on the guide surface of the stacking separation guide 705). ) It is formed in length.

  The gear 916 is inserted through the rotation shaft 803, but is not fixed to the rotation shaft 803 and can freely rotate around the rotation shaft 803.

  (B) of FIG. 19 shows each gear rotation direction at the time of bill storage, and (c) of FIG. 19 shows each gear rotation direction at the time of bill release. The numbers in parentheses at the center of each gear indicate the number of teeth. The number of teeth described is such that when the gear 908 is rotated in the clockwise direction, the deformation imparting portion 707c rotates at twice the speed of the sheet roller 704.

  At the time of banknote storage, the control unit 9 drives the drive motor 999 so that the gear 905 rotates the rotation shaft 701a in the counterclockwise direction in the drawing. According to the apparatus having the above configuration, the sheet roller 704 rotates in the clockwise direction, and the deformation imparting portion 707c is driven by the gear 915 to rotate in the clockwise direction at twice the speed of the sheet roller 704. When the deformation | transformation provision part 707c rotates, the flexible sheet | seat will contact | abut the surface on the opposite side to the surface facing the said guide surface of the banknote which a front-end | tip part passes. Since the flexible sheet rotates in a state where the leading end portion is wrapped on the guide surface of the stacking separation guide 705, the flexible sheet not only simply abuts against the banknote but also imparts out-of-plane deformation to the abutted banknote.

  At the time of banknote release, the control unit 9 drives the drive motor 999 so that the gear 905 rotates in the clockwise direction in the drawing, and rotates the feed roller 701 in the direction opposite to that during storage. According to the apparatus having the configuration, the deformation applying unit 707c and the rotation shaft 803 (the sheet roller 704 and the gate roller 703) can be fixed without rotating.

  Further, by rotating the deformation imparting portion 707c at a speed twice the rotational speed of the sheet roller 704 at the time of bill storage, both the radial sheet of the sheet roller 704 and the radial sheet of the deformation imparting portion 707c are bills when the bill is released. The phase retracted from the conveyance path (the phase of the sheet roller 704 and the deformation applying unit 707c shown in FIG. 19C) can be ensured. When the phase of rotation of the deformation imparting unit 707c is a phase at a position where the sheet is retracted from the banknote conveyance path, the sheet roller 704 also has a phase which is a phase of rotation at the position where the sheet is retracted from the banknote conveyance path. Specifically, if the sheet roller 704 is set to stop at that phase, when the sheet roller 704 is stopped, the deformation imparting portion 707c also stops at a position retracted from the bill conveyance path. Further, by rotating the deformation imparting unit 707c at a speed twice as high as the rotation speed of the sheet roller 704, the sheet roller 704 is stored during bill storage (that is, when the deformation imparting unit 707c and the sheet roller 704 are rotating). And the time when the deformation | transformation provision part 707c will be in the state retracted | saved from the banknote conveyance path simultaneously can be shortened.

  Also in this embodiment, since the deformation imparting unit 707c is rotated by the drive motor 999, by controlling the drive motor 999, the deformation imparting unit 707c is rotated to impart a deformation to the banknote, or the deformation imparting unit 707c. It is possible to reliably realize holding in the state of being retracted from the bill conveyance path.

  In each of the above embodiments, the sheet roller 704 has a flexible sheet radially extending by about a half circumference, but the flexible sheet may be configured to radially extend all around. . In that case, it is necessary to take measures such as movement of the rotation shaft 803 of the sheet roller 704 when the banknote is released so as not to obstruct the banknote from which the sheet of the sheet roller 704 is discharged.

  Moreover, although each said embodiment made it the handling object of a banknote, this invention is applicable not only to a banknote but general paper sheets.
