The lower pressing area 78 is parallel to and directly above the upper conveying area 66 of the conveying belt 61. The pressing belt mechanism 56 is driven so that the moving speed of the lower pressing area 78 is the same as the moving speed of the upper conveying area 66 of the conveying belt conveyor 55.

  When all the pressing blades 76 are in the lower pressing region 78, they are formed on the belt main body 75 so as to form a standing wall shape that is orthogonal to the moving direction and extends in the width direction. When there are a plurality of adjacent pressing blades 76 in the lower pressing region 78, the interval between the adjacent pressing blades 76 is narrower than the interval between the adjacent partition portions 64 of the conveyor belt 61, and the adjacent partition portions 64 are adjacent to each other. A plurality of, specifically, three pressing blades 76 are arranged at intervals. The protruding amount of the pressing blade 76 is substantially the same as the distance between the lower pressing area 78 and the upper transport area 66. Note that the pressing blade 76 has a lower rigidity than the sorting portion 64, and when there is a small bundle of bills W on the placement surface 67 of the upper transport region 66, the pressing blade 76 is bent by its thickness by abutting it, and its elasticity This is pressed against the mounting surface 67 with force.

  Further, on the front side of the conveyor belt conveyor 55, a horizontal mounting table portion 80 that constitutes the lower edge portion of the small bundle dispensing port 51 is disposed on the substantial extension of the upper conveyor region 66 of the conveyor belt 61. In addition, a shutter portion 82 that opens and closes the small bundle dispensing port 51 is provided above the mounting table portion 80. The shutter portion 82 includes a rotation shaft 83 extending horizontally along the left-right direction of the machine body above the front end portion of the upper conveyance region 66 of the conveyance belt 61 on the small bundle dispensing port 51 side, and the rotation shaft 83. The shutter member 84 has a shutter member 84 that extends forward and downward and curves in a circular arc shape. The shutter member 84 abuts on the conveyance belt 61 by its own weight.

  Here, the small bundle banknotes W placed on the placing surface 67 between the sorting sections 64 of the transport belt conveyor 55 are placed while the shutter member 84 is lifted and opened from the upper transport region 66 by the rotation of the transport belt 61. If the center of gravity is projected forward by a predetermined distance from the small bundle dispensing port 51 by being placed on the pedestal unit 80 and pushed by the sorting unit 64 on the rear side in the conveyance direction of the conveyance belt 61, it falls outside the machine by its own weight. It will be. The shutter member 84 closes the small bundle dispensing port 51 by its own weight when the small bundle banknotes W are separated by dropping.

  A small bundle detection sensor 86 for detecting a small bundle banknote W in the upper conveyance area 66 of the conveyance belt 61 is provided at a predetermined position on the end of the conveyance belt conveyor 55 on the small bundle dispensing port 51 side. The dispensing port 51 is also provided with a small bundle detection sensor 87 for detecting the small bundle banknote W in the small bundle dispensing port 51. These small bundle detection sensors 86 and 87 detect the presence of the small bundle banknote W when the optical path is blocked by the small bundle banknote W.

  In the money depositing / dispensing machine 11 according to the first embodiment having the above-described configuration, at the time of the bundling process, the rose bills of the designated denomination are bundled to form the small bundle bills W among the rose bills stored in the storage units 38 to 41. And a control unit (not shown) bundles the rose banknotes 13 from the rose banknote processing unit 13 at the time of local organization processing to bundle the rose banknotes of the designated denomination among the rose banknotes inserted into the deposit port 21 into the small bundle banknotes W. A predetermined number of banknotes sent to the banknote processing unit 14 are stacked by the stacking unit 48, and then bundled by the binding unit 49 to form a small bundle of banknotes W.

  The small bundle banknotes W bundled in the bundling portion 49 in this way are pushed by the pressing plate 53 of the delivery mechanism portion 52 from the bundling portion 49 in a horizontal posture with the longitudinal direction aligned with the left-right direction of the machine body, and are conveyed in a small bundle. The control unit is sent to the conveyor belt conveyor 55 of the unit 50. When the timing is such that the small bundle banknote W can be delivered from the delivery mechanism unit 52 to the small bundle conveyance unit 50, the controller is allowed to drive. Only, the conveyor belt conveyor 55 is driven so as to move the upper conveyance area 66 to the small bundle dispensing port 51 side, and in synchronization with this, the lower pressing area 78 is moved to the small bundle dispensing port 51 side. The pressing belt mechanism 56 is driven.

  Next, the control unit causes the driven conveyor belt conveyor 55 to send out the small bundles of bills W from the delivery mechanism unit 52. At this time, the control section controls the pressing plate 53 of the delivery mechanism section 52 based on the transport speed of the transport belt 61 of the transport belt conveyor 55 and the timing at which the respective section sections 64 are positioned in the upper transport area 66, and FIG. As shown in FIG. 2B from FIG. 2A, the front portion of the small bundle banknote W is placed on the placement surface 67 so as to be close to the rearward side of the predetermined sorting portion 64 on the most upstream side of the upper transport area 66. To be placed.

  When a plurality of small bundle banknotes W are withdrawn, when the stacked banknotes are delivered from the stacking unit 48 to the binding unit 49, the stacking unit 48 starts to stack the next banknotes. After the banknotes bundled in the above are delivered to the downstream delivery mechanism section 52, when a predetermined number of banknotes are stacked in the stacking section 48, binding of the next stacked banknotes is started in the binding section 49. The small bundle banknotes W are conveyed to the small bundle conveyance unit 50 at intervals.

  As described above, the front portion of the small bundle banknote W is placed on the placement surface 67 in the vicinity of the predetermined sorting portion 64 on the most upstream side of the upper transport region 66, as shown in FIG. Further, when the small bundle banknote W is pushed by the pressing plate 53 of the delivery mechanism section 52 in accordance with the conveyance speed of the conveyance belt 61, the upper bundle belt W is placed on the small bundle banknote W as shown in FIG. The pressing blade 76 of the mechanism 56 is elastically deformed by contacting from above, and the small bundle bill W is pressed against the placement surface 67 by the elastic force of the pressing blade 76 as shown in FIG.

  Then, the small bundle banknote W moves to the small bundle dispensing port 51 side together with the placement surface 67 by the frictional force of the placement surface 67 of the rotating transport belt 61. When the small bundle banknote W further moves to the small bundle dispensing port 51 side in this way, the next pressing blade 76 presses the small bundle banknote W against the placement surface 67 as shown in FIG. Before and after this, the next sorting section 64 reaches the upper transport area 66 on the rear side of the small bundle bill W. In this way, the small banknotes W are placed on the placement surface 67 between the sorting section 64 and the sorting section 64 of the conveyor belt conveyor 55. When the small bundle banknote W moves to the small bundle dispensing port 51 side by further rotation of the transport belt 61, the next pressing blade 76 is further small as shown in FIGS. 4 (a) to 4 (b). The bundled banknote W is pressed against the placement surface 67. In this way, the small banknotes W placed on the placing surface 67 between the sorting section 64 and the sorting section 64 of the conveyor belt conveyor 55 are placed by the three pressing blades 76 of the upper pressing belt mechanism 56. While being pressed against the surface 67, the upper conveying area 66 is moved toward the small bundle dispensing port 51 side by the rotation of the conveying belt 61 and is conveyed toward the small bundle dispensing port 51 side.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 4 (c), when the small bundle banknote W is sent to a predetermined position at the front end of the upper conveyance area 66, the passage of the leading end is detected by the small bundle detection sensor 86, and thereafter, FIG. As shown in FIG. 5A, while lifting the shutter member 84 from the upper conveyance area 66 of the conveyance belt 61, it is placed on the placement table 80 as shown in FIG. 5B, and the placement surface of the conveyance belt 61. It moves while sliding forward on the mounting table 80 with a frictional force of 67, and partially projects out of the machine from the small bundle dispensing port 51.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (b), the control unit controls the conveyor belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56 based on the timing at which the passage of the rear end portion of the small bundle banknote W is detected by the small bundle detection sensor 86. As a result, the small bundle banknotes W are stopped in a state in which they partially protrude from the small bundle dispensing port 51 to the outside of the machine. In this state, the operator waits for taking out the small bundle of bills W.

  When it is detected by the small bundle detection sensor 87 of the small bundle dispensing port 51 that the small bundle banknote W has been taken out from the small bundle dispensing port 51, the control unit performs the conveyance belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56. The small bundle banknote W to be withdrawn next is conveyed to the position immediately before the small bundle conveyance section 50 by the delivery mechanism section 52, and the small bundle banknote is transferred from the delivery mechanism section 52 to the small bundle conveyance section 50. When the timing at which W can be delivered is reached, the delivery of the small bundle of bills W from the delivery belt conveyor 55 to the small bundle dispensing port 51 is started in the same manner as described above. In addition, when the banknotes collected by the stacking unit 48 are the fractional banknotes S of less than a predetermined number, the fractional banknotes S are small bundles like the small bundle banknotes W that are not bound by the binding unit 49. It is conveyed to the small bundle dispensing port 51 by the conveyance unit 50 and stopped in a state of partially protruding from the small bundle dispensing port 51 while being pressed by the shutter member 84 as shown in FIG. It will wait for removal by.

  In addition, when the tray etc. which receive the small bundle banknote W are arrange | positioned in front of the small bundle dispensing port 51, even if the rear-end part of the small bundle banknote W is detected by the small bundle detection sensor 86, the control part. The conveying belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56 are continuously driven without being stopped. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, the small bundle banknote W is pushed further forward by the section 64 on the rear side in the conveyance direction of the conveyance belt 61, and the center of gravity position is moved forward by a predetermined distance from the small bundle dispensing port 51. By projecting, the shutter member 84 falls out of the apparatus while being rotated by its own weight. When the small bundle detection sensor 87 detects that the small bundle banknote W has been discharged from the small bundle dispensing port 51, the control unit permits the driving of the conveyor belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56. At a timing when the small bundle banknote W to be dispensed next can be delivered from the delivery mechanism section 52 to the small bundle transport section 50, the delivery to the small bundle transport section 50 is started. On the other hand, if the small bundle banknote W to be withdrawn next is not at a timing at which it can be delivered from the delivery mechanism section 52 to the small bundle transport section 50, the transport belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56 are stopped.

  According to the money depositing and dispensing machine 11 of the first embodiment described above, the conveyance belt 61 provided at the position immediately before the small bundle dispensing port 51 is formed at an interval longer than the length in the conveyance direction of the small bundle banknote W. In order to place the small bundle banknotes W between adjacent ones of the plurality of sorting sections 64 and transport them to the small bundle dispensing port 51, the small bundle banknotes W are placed between the small bundle banknotes W while limiting the height. Can be smoothly withdrawn from the small bundle dispensing port 51 in a state in which they are separated.

  Further, since the pressing belt mechanism 56 provided on the upper side of the transport belt 61 presses the small bundle bills W against the mounting surface 67 of the transport belt 61, the pressing surface is arranged on the mounting surface 67 between the adjacent ones of the sorting portions 64. The small bundle banknotes W placed thereon can be conveyed while maintaining the state in good condition.

Next, the money depositing and dispensing machine according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, 7 and 8 mainly on the differences from the first embodiment. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the part similar to 1st Embodiment, and the description is abbreviate | omitted.
In 2nd Embodiment, the control content of the control part is changed with respect to 1st Embodiment, The structure is the same as 1st Embodiment shown in FIG. 1 and FIG.

  That is, in the money depositing / dispensing machine 11 having the above-described structure, as shown in FIG. 2, there may be three or more conveyor belts 61 in the upper conveyance area 66, specifically, four division parts 64. As a result, a plurality of, specifically, three small bundles of banknotes W can be simultaneously placed on the transport belt 61 in the transport direction and placed on three placement surfaces 67. For this reason, in the second embodiment, when a plurality of small bundles of banknotes W are dispensed in a single bundling process, the bundles are collected one by one and bundled one by one, whereby a plurality of small bundles are bundled. Even when the banknotes W are sent out to the conveyor belt 61 with a relatively long interval, a plurality of small bundle banknotes W are gathered together as much as possible before withdrawal, and are continuously withdrawn from the small bundle withdrawal port 51.
