The second motor 70 rotates in the clockwise / counterclockwise direction in FIG. 9 via the timing toothed belt 78.

  A groove 80 extending in the entire axial direction and having both ends opened in the axial direction is provided on the circumference of the conveying roller 71. The groove 80 has an apex angle of about 90 ° as shown in FIG. 4B. The cross section is formed in a V-shape, and an inclined surface 81a that functions as a guide surface that is formed so as to widen toward the opening end 81 is provided on one opening side. As shown in FIG. 1, the conveying roller 71 has an axis extending in the direction of arrow AB, and the dimension of the conveying roller 71 in the direction of arrow AB is slightly shorter than the dimension of the banknote 9 in the direction of arrow AB. 9 and is located in the direction of the arrow D of the driving roller 21 and the second pinch roller 23 of the first banknote transport means 11 and the groove 80 of the first case 4 in a side view as shown in FIG. It is rotatably supported in the notch 15 of the first case 4 so as to coincide with the surface of the guide projection 14 of the back plate 6. Further, the peripheral surface excluding the groove 80 of the transport roller 71 is configured to securely pinch and transport the banknotes with the pinch roller 72.

  By being configured in this way, the lower end line of the bill 9 inserted from the card insertion slot 10 abuts on the guide ridge 14 and is guided by the guide ridge 14 to the first bill transport means 11. Is conveyed in the direction of arrow A. Further, the banknote 9 transported in the direction of arrow A by the first banknote transport means 11 has its lower end 9 a entering the groove 80 from the opening end 81 of the groove 80 of the transport roller 71, and the lower end line hits the groove 80. It is conveyed in the direction of arrow A while in contact. That is, in the peripheral portion of the transport roller 71, there is a groove 80 that extends in the axial direction and guides an end line (lower end portion 9 a) along the transport direction of the bill 9 that is transported by the first bill transport means 11. Is provided.

  Here, the rotational phase position shown in FIG. 9 where the groove 80 of the conveying roller 71 coincides with the surface of the guide ridge 14 is referred to as the initial position of the conveying roller 71. The pinch roller 72 extends in the direction of the arrow AB, and is adjacent to the banknote feeding direction of the transport roller 71, that is, the counterclockwise direction of the transport roller 71, with respect to the groove 80 of the transport roller 71 positioned in the initial position in a side view. It is rotatably supported by the second case 5 so as to be positioned at the part.

  A reverse rotation restricting wheel 85 formed in a flat cylindrical shape is integrally provided on the end surface opposite to the opening end 80 of the conveying roller 71, and a part of the peripheral surface of the reverse rotation restricting wheel 85 is provided on the end surface. A notch 86 having a U-shaped cross section is provided. Reference numeral 87 denotes a leaf spring having a base end attached to the first case 4, a free end being pressed against the circumferential surface of the reverse rotation restricting wheel 85, and the transport roller 71 being in the bill transport direction (counterclockwise in the figure). When rotating in the direction), the conveyance roller 71 is allowed to rotate. On the other hand, when the transport roller 71 rotates in the direction opposite to the bill transport direction (clockwise in the figure), the free end of the leaf spring 87 engages with the notch 86 of the reverse rotation restricting wheel 85, and the transport roller 71 rotates. To regulate. At this time, the conveying roller 71 is configured to be positioned at the initial position, and the reverse rotation restricting wheel 85 and the leaf spring 87 form a positioning means 88 for positioning the conveying roller 71 at the initial position. .

  Next, the operation | movement which conveys the banknote 9 determined to be a true bill in the banknote identification device 2 to the banknote accommodating part 3 in such a structure is demonstrated. The electromagnetic solenoid 50 is not energized in advance, and the rod 50a moves forward as shown in FIG. 6A, and the first to third pinch rollers 25 to 25 of the first bill transport means 11 are moved forward. 27 is in contact with the drive belt 24 as shown in FIG. Further, the groove 80 of the conveying roller 71 is located at the initial position shown in FIG.

  In this state, when the bill 9 is inserted from the bill insertion slot 10 and the bill 9 is detected by a sensor (not shown), the first motor 20 is driven in the forward direction. Accordingly, the inserted bill 9 is conveyed in the direction of arrow A while the thickness direction is held between the drive belt 24 and the first pinch roller 25 and the posture of the inserted bill 9 is held in the bill insertion slot 10. At this time, the lower end of the banknote 9 comes into contact with the guide ridge 14 and is guided by the guide ridge 14 to be conveyed in the direction of arrow A.

  Further, the banknote 9 is transported in the direction of arrow A by the drive belt 24 and the first pinch roller 25, so that the groove 80 of the transport roller 71 coincides with the surface of the guide ridge 14 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the bill 9 is conveyed in the direction of arrow A with the lower end 9 a entering the groove 80 from the opening end 81 of the groove 80 of the conveying roller 71 and the lower end abutting against the groove 80. . When the front end of the banknote 9 reaches the second pinch roller 26, the banknote 9 is conveyed in the direction of arrow A by the second pinch roller 26, the first pinch roller 25, and the drive belt 24. When the front end of the banknote 9 reaches the third pinch roller 27, the banknote 9 is conveyed in the direction of arrow A by the third pinch roller 27, the second pinch roller 26, the first pinch roller 25 and the drive belt 24. Is done.

  Furthermore, the bill 9 is conveyed in the direction of arrow A, and the state where the rear end of the bill 9 is removed from the first pinch roller 25 (position indicated by reference numeral 9A in FIG. 1) is detected by a sensor (not shown). Thereby, the drive of the 1st motor 20 stops and conveyance of the bill 9 stops. The position indicated by the reference numeral 9A is an identification position at which the authenticity of the banknote 9 is identified by the banknote identification apparatus 2, and each end of the banknote 9A positioned at this identification position in the direction of arrows AB is a transport roller. 71 is located on the outer side in the arrow A direction or the outer side in the arrow B direction from both ends of 71. Thus, the banknote 9 conveyed in the 1st banknote conveyance path 8 by the 1st banknote conveyance means 11 is guided to the arrow A direction by the groove | channel 80 provided in the peripheral part of the conveyance roller 71. FIG. For this reason, since the banknote 9 conveyed in the 1st banknote conveyance path 8 is skewed, authenticity is identified without being misidentified by the banknote identification device 2, and banknote jamming by skewing is prevented. You can also

  When the bill identifying device 2 identifies the authenticity of the bill 9 and identifies that the bill 9 is a genuine note, the electromagnetic solenoid 50 is energized. When the electromagnetic solenoid 50 is energized, the first swing lever 52 rotates about the shaft 64A in the clockwise direction in FIG. 5 via the swinger 51. ), The second pinch roller 26 moves away from the drive belt 24 because the second pinch roller 26 rotates counterclockwise about the shaft 45 as shown in FIG.

  When the first swing lever 52 is rotated, the second swing lever 54 is simultaneously rotated clockwise about the shaft 64B via the transmission member 53, so that the holder 43B is moved in FIG. ), The third pinch roller 27 moves away from the drive belt 24 because the shaft 45 rotates counterclockwise about the shaft 45 as shown in FIG. As described above, the two pinch rollers 26 and 27 are brought into contact with and separated from the drive belt 24 via the transmission member 53 by driving one electromagnetic solenoid 50. Therefore, the banknote 9 can be conveyed in the arrow A direction by a plurality of (two in this embodiment) pinch rollers 26 and 27 spaced apart in the banknote conveying direction (arrow A-B direction). For this reason, since the dimension of a conveyance direction (arrow AB direction) like the banknote 9 can be conveyed with a stable attitude | position, without skewing a conveyed object with very small rigidity, the banknote identification apparatus 2 can be conveyed. It is possible to prevent misidentification of banknotes 9 and banknote jams.

  Further, when the electromagnetic solenoid 50 is energized, as shown in FIG. 6B, the detected portion 59 of the oscillator 51 is detached from the sensor 61, and the pinch rollers 26 and 27 are separated from the drive belt 24. Is detected by the sensor 61, the second motor 70 is driven in the forward direction. By driving the second motor 70 in the forward direction, the conveyance roller 71 starts to rotate counterclockwise in FIG. By this rotation, the lower end portion 9a of the bill 9A facing the groove 80 of the transport roller 71 is bent so as to come into contact with the peripheral portion of the transport roller 71 as the transport roller 71 rotates, as shown in FIG. The pinch roller 72 and the conveying roller 71 are sandwiched between the peripheral portions. Therefore, when the transport roller 71 further rotates, the banknote 9A is transported in the direction of the arrow D from the first banknote transport path 8 to the second banknote transport path 18 as shown in FIG. Is stored in the bill storage unit 3 as described above.

  Thus, when the banknote 9 is conveyed by the 1st banknote conveyance means 11, the groove | channel 80 which the lower end part 9a of this banknote 9 faces was provided in the conveyance roller 71, and thereby the pinch roller 72 is opposed to the conveyance roller 71. The bill 9 can be transported by the first bill transport means 11 in a state of being in contact. For this reason, since a structure for bringing the pinch roller 72 into and out of contact with the conveying roller 71 is not required, the structure can be simplified and the number of parts can be reduced. Further, the dimension of the transport roller 71 in the direction of arrow AB is slightly shorter than the dimension of the bill 9 in the direction of arrow AB, so that the dimension of the transport roller 71 in the axial direction is the arrow A- It is formed to be approximately the same size as the dimension in the B direction. For this reason, since the banknote 9 is conveyed by the conveyance roller 71 and the pinch roller 72 in the direction of the arrow D while substantially the whole of the arrow AB direction is clamped, the skew of the banknote conveyed can be controlled. .

  When a sensor (not shown) detects that the banknote 9A is stored in the banknote storage unit 3, the second motor 70 is driven in the reverse direction. By this driving, the transport roller 71 rotates in the direction opposite to the banknote transport direction (clockwise in FIG. 12), the drive of the second motor 70 is stopped immediately before the transport roller 71 is positioned in the initial state, and the transport roller 71 Stop rotating. When the conveyance roller 71 is slightly rotated due to inertia, the free end of the leaf spring 87 is engaged with a notch 86 of the reverse rotation restricting wheel 85 as shown in FIG. The roller 71 is stopped at the initial position.

  In the present embodiment, the pinch rollers 26 and 27 constituting the first banknote transport unit 11 are separated from the drive belt 24 when transported to the banknote storage unit 3 by the second banknote transport unit 12. However, by increasing the frictional force between the conveying roller 71 and the bill and increasing the conveying force with respect to the bill by the pinch roller 72, the conveying roller does not necessarily separate the pinch rollers 26 and 27 from the drive belt 24. You may make it convey a banknote to the banknote accommodating part 3 by 71 forcibly.
