Description

  The present invention relates to a paper sheet processing apparatus that discharges paper sheets such as banknotes, tickets, and cards.

  Conventionally, in automatic ticket machines and ATMs that handle paper sheets such as banknotes, tickets, cards, etc., paper sheets are unloaded one by one from the storage unit arranged inside the housing, and a plurality of paper sheets are loaded. A paper sheet processing apparatus is provided for collectively paying out from the withdrawal port of the housing in a stacked state. In this type of paper sheet processing apparatus, typical techniques for stacking paper sheets carried out of the storage unit include a sweeper type (see, for example, Patent Document 1) and a pusher type (for example, a patent). (Ref. 2).

  The sweeper-type paper sheet processing apparatus arranges only the discharge pool space for stacking the paper sheets transported from the storage unit facing the withdrawal port of the housing, and the paper sheets transported from the storage unit. A sweeper (rubber impeller) that rotates so as to push into the discharge pool space is arranged at the entrance of the discharge pool space. Here, the sweeper is configured by forming a plurality of blades on the peripheral surface of the shaft body. In this paper sheet processing apparatus, by rotating the sweeper and continuously pushing the paper sheets previously transported to the discharge pool space with the blades, the paper sheets sequentially transported to the discharge pool space To prevent interference.

  On the other hand, the pusher type paper sheet processing apparatus is provided with a partition part for temporarily placing one sheet of paper transported from the storage part above the discharge pool space, and downward from the upper side of the partition part. A pusher member is provided that is movable to the side in the stacking direction of the paper sheets. In this paper sheet processing apparatus, the paper sheets temporarily placed on the partition are pressed against the discharge pool space by the pusher member, so that the paper sheets are stacked on the discharge pool space. Yes. When paper sheets are stacked in this manner, the paper sheets conveyed from the storage unit are stacked in the discharge pool space by being moved one by one in the stacking direction with respect to the discharge pool space by the pusher member. Thus, it is possible to reliably prevent interference between the paper sheets that are sequentially carried out to the discharge pool space.

However, in the above-described sweeper type paper sheet processing apparatus, when the paper sheet is curled or creased, the blade of the sweeper does not reach the paper sheet, or one blade of the sweeper and the next blade The paper sheet jumps up between the paper sheets, and the paper sheet conveyed later sinks under the previously conveyed paper sheet. May occur.
On the other hand, in the pusher type paper sheet processing apparatus, the paper sheets conveyed from the storage unit stack the paper sheets one by one in the discharge pool space based on the movement of the pusher member. Interference between classes can be reliably prevented.

  However, in the conventional pusher-type paper sheet processing apparatus, the rollers and belts provided on the pusher member move in accordance with the movement of the paper sheet bundle, so that the paper sheets positioned on the pusher member side, or The paper sheets located in the intermediate layer of the paper sheet bundle may not be able to follow the movement of the paper sheet bundle based on the driving of the transport belt or the transport roller, and a part of the stacked paper sheets may become the discharge pool space. May remain.

  In view of the above circumstances, the present invention prevents paper sheets from interfering with each other and remaining paper sheets when discharging paper sheets, and can improve the reliability of the paper sheet discharge function. The object is to provide a leaf processing apparatus.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes the following means.
The invention according to claim 1 is a paper that is provided inside a housing and transports from a storage unit capable of storing a plurality of paper sheets, and discharges the paper sheets outwardly through an outlet of the housing. A leaf processing apparatus, which is disposed facing the outlet, and can be held in the state of a sheet bundle in which a plurality of sheets are stacked, and one end side in the stacking direction of the sheet bundle A temporary holding space that is partitioned from the discharge pool space via a partition portion disposed on the storage unit, a transport unit that transports the sheets one by one from the storage unit to the temporary holding space, and the temporary holding space side A pusher member disposed so as to be movable between the partition portion and the discharge pool space, and the pusher member is attached to the pusher member so as to contact the one end of the sheet bundle and The discharge pool space and the output And a first conveying means that can be driven so as to move between the first conveying means and the first conveying means via the discharge pool space, and is in contact with the other end of the sheet bundle. A second transport unit that can be driven to move the sheet bundle between the discharge pool space and the outlet, and when the two transport units are driven, The paper sheet processing apparatus characterized by holding a bundle of leaves is proposed.
Examples of the transport means include a transport roller and a transport belt that can be rotated so as to move paper sheets between the discharge pool space and the exit of the housing.

  In the paper sheet processing apparatus according to the present invention, for example, when a plurality of paper sheets are discharged from the exit of the housing in the form of a paper sheet bundle, first, the transport unit moves from the storage unit toward the temporary storage space. Convey paper sheets one by one. When one sheet of paper is conveyed to the temporary storage space, the pusher member is moved from the temporary storage space side through the partition to the discharge pool space. By the movement of the pusher member, one sheet placed in the temporary holding space moves over the partition to the discharge pool space, and the sheets are stacked in the discharge pool space. Note that the paper sheets are moved by the pusher member one by one, that is, two or more paper sheets are not held in the temporary holding space.

In the above-described operation, since the paper sheets are moved from the temporary storage space in the stacking direction and stacked in the discharge pool space, it is possible to reliably prevent the paper sheets that are sequentially transported to the discharge pool space. .
Then, when discharging the sheet bundle arranged in the discharge pool space from the outlet of the housing as described above, one end of the sheet bundle and the other in a state where the sheet bundle is held by two conveying means Each conveying means which contacts the end is driven. As a result, all the paper sheets constituting the paper sheet bundle can be moved toward the exit of the housing without any misalignment between the paper sheets, and the paper sheets can be prevented from remaining in the discharge pool space. .

  Further, for example, when forgetting to take out the discharged sheet bundle and taking the sheet bundle into the discharge pool space from the outside, the sheet bundle disposed on the outlet side is transported by two conveying means. In this state, the conveying means may be driven in the opposite direction to the case of discharging. At this time, similarly to the above, all the paper sheets constituting the paper sheet bundle can be moved to the discharge pool space without misalignment between the paper sheets, and the paper sheets remain on the exit side. Can be prevented.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the paper sheet processing apparatus according to the first aspect, the first transport unit is attached to the pusher member so as to be movable in the stacking direction. In the paper sheet processing apparatus, the first conveying means is pressed toward one end of the paper sheet bundle by the pressing means when the paper sheet bundle is sandwiched by the means.

In the paper sheet processing apparatus according to the present invention, the first conveying means is pressed against the paper sheet bundle by the pressing means, and therefore the paper sheet bundle can be securely held by the two conveying means.
When the pressing unit presses the first transport unit, the first transport unit moves relative to the pusher member, so that the pusher member does not come into contact with one end of the sheet bundle. In other words, it is not necessary to move the pusher member to contact the paper sheet bundle. Therefore, it is not necessary to adjust the movement range of the pusher member itself with high accuracy, and the mechanism for moving the pusher member can be simplified.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided the paper sheet processing apparatus according to the first or second aspect, wherein the two conveying means are driven by the same drive source. A device is proposed.
According to the paper sheet handling apparatus of the present invention, the operation of the two transporting units can be easily synchronized by driving the two transporting units with the same driving source while holding the paper sheet bundle. it can.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the paper sheets can be reliably prevented from interfering with each other when the paper sheets are stacked in the discharge pool space, and the paper sheet bundle is disposed between the discharge pool space and the outlet of the housing. When moving the paper sheet, the paper sheet bundle can be moved without misalignment between the paper sheets, and it is possible to prevent the paper sheets from remaining on the discharge pool space or the outlet side of the housing. The reliability of the discharge function can be improved.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, the paper sheet bundle can be reliably held by the two conveying means by pressing the first conveying means against the paper sheet bundle by the pressing means. Further, since the first conveying means is movably attached to the pusher member, it is not necessary to adjust the movement range of the pusher member itself with high accuracy when the paper sheet bundle is pinched. Simplification can be achieved.

As shown in FIG. 1, the paper sheet processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment stores banknotes (paper sheets) deposited into the housing 3 from the deposit port 3a in individual storage units 5 for each type. Or bills are selectively conveyed from each storage unit 5 and withdrawn from a withdrawal port (exit) 3b.
That is, when a banknote is inserted from the deposit port 3a, after the banknote passes through the identification unit 7 for identifying the type, a predetermined storage is performed via the transport unit 9 including a belt, a roller, or the like according to the type of the banknote. Housed in part 5.

Further, when the banknotes stored in the storage unit 5 are withdrawn from the withdrawal port 3b, the banknotes stored in the storage unit 5 are arranged facing the withdrawal port 3b via the transport unit 9. It is conveyed to the pool unit 11. And conveyance of the banknote from the withdrawal pool part 11 to the withdrawal port 3b is performed after a predetermined number of banknotes are arrange | positioned in the withdrawal pool part 11. FIG. Further, banknotes that are mistakenly carried out from the storage unit 5 to the withdrawal pool unit 11 are collected by the reject unit 13 by another conveyance unit 66.
In addition, the conveyance part 9 is comprised so that a banknote may be conveyed one sheet at a time, and it does not pile up and convey two or more banknotes.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the withdrawal pool unit 11 is arranged facing the withdrawal port 3 b and is in a state of a banknote bundle (paper bundle) 15 </ b> A in which a plurality of banknotes (paper sheets) 15 are stacked. And a pair of guide members (partition portions) 19 disposed on one end side in the stacking direction (z-axis direction) of the banknote bundle 15A. Further, the withdrawal pool section 11 is arranged so that the guide member 19 is positioned between the withdrawal pool space 17 and moving the banknote bundle 15A between the ejection pool space 17 and the withdrawal opening 3b. A pusher assembly 23 provided with a first transport belt (first transport means) 21 and a pusher assembly 23 provided through a discharge pool space 17 to move the banknote bundle 15A together with the first transport belt 21 And a second conveyor belt (second conveyor means) 25.

The discharge pool space 17 is a region between the guide member 19 and the second transport belt 25 facing each other in the stacking direction, and the banknote bundle 15A is arranged on the second transport belt 25. That is, the other end of the banknote bundle 15 </ b> A in the stacking direction is in contact with the second transport belt 25.
The second conveyor belt 25 extends in the arrangement direction (x-axis direction) of the discharge pool space 17 and the withdrawal port 3b and is wound around a pair of pulleys 25a and 25b. Between the pair of pulleys 25a and 25b, two auxiliary rollers 25c and 25d are arranged side by side, so that the banknote bundle 15A arranged on the second transport belt 25 can be supported in a stable state. ing. The pulleys 25a and 25b and the auxiliary rollers 25c and 25d are attached to the frame 29 integral with the housing 3 so as to be rotatable.
One pulley 25a is connected to a drive motor (drive source) (not shown), and the second transport belt 25 moves the banknote bundle 15A between the discharge pool space 17 and the withdrawal port 3b by this motor. It is possible to drive to make it.

The pair of guide members 19 form a temporary storage space 27 that temporarily holds one banknote 15 conveyed to the withdrawal pool unit 11 by the conveyance unit 9, and includes a temporary storage space 27 and a discharge pool space. 17.
That is, the pair of guide members 19 are arranged at intervals on both sides in the width direction (y-axis direction) of the pusher assembly 23 so that the pusher assembly 23 faces the second transport belt 25 from between the pair of guide members 19. And fixed to the frame 29. In addition, each guide member 19 is formed such that a groove 19 a facing the opposing guide member 19 extends in the conveyance direction (x-axis direction) of the banknote 15 to the withdrawal pool unit 11 by the conveyance unit 9. Accordingly, one banknote 15 conveyed to the withdrawal pool unit 11 by the conveyance unit 9 is supported by the pair of guide members 19 by having both side portions thereof entering the grooves 19a of the respective guide members 19, and is temporarily reserved. 27 will be put on hold.
The single banknote 15 arranged in the temporary storage space 27 is stacked in the discharge pool space 17 by the operation of the pusher assembly 23 described later.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the pusher assembly 23 includes a substantially plate-like pusher member 31, a first transport belt 21 attached to the pusher member 31 so as to be movable in the stacking direction of the banknote bundle 15 </ b> A, A pusher member 31 is connected to the frame 29 and includes a link mechanism 33 that is movable in the stacking direction from the upper side of the temporary storage space 27 to the discharge pool space 17.
The link mechanism 33 is connected to a motor via a gear train (not shown), and the pusher member 31 is moved in the stacking direction by operating the link mechanism 33 based on the driving force of the motor. Has been.

The pusher member 31 is arranged so that the surface 31 a faces the second conveying belt 25 through the pair of guide members 19, and the width dimension thereof is larger than the gap dimension between the pair of guide members 19. It is formed small. That is, the pusher member 31 can pass between the pair of guide members 19 by the operation of the link mechanism 33.
The pusher member 31 can move from above the guide member 19 and the temporary storage space 27 through the guide member 19 to the discharge pool space 17 side. The member 31 is limited to a position before the abutment of the banknote bundle 15A. This is to prevent the pusher assembly 23 from malfunctioning due to an impact when the pusher member 31 collides with the banknote bundle 15A.

The first conveyor belt 21 extends in the arrangement direction (x-axis direction) of the discharge pool space 17 and the withdrawal port 3b, and is wound around a pair of rollers 21a and 21b. Further, a transmission roller 21c for transmitting driving force to the first conveying belt 21 is disposed between the pair of rollers 21a and 21b. The first conveying belt 21 is also connected to the transmitting roller 21c. It is wound.
Since the first transport belt 21 is configured to move the banknote bundle 15A between the discharge pool space 17 and the withdrawal port 3b as described above, a part of the first transport belt 21 is a surface 31a of the pusher member 31. It is arranged above and faces the second conveyor belt 25.

The first conveyor belt 21 is attached to the pusher member 31 via a supporting member 35 and a biasing means 37 such as a spring.
That is, the pair of rollers 21 a and 21 b and the transmission roller 21 c are rotatably attached to the support member 35, and the support member 35 is connected to the pusher member 31 by the urging means 37. The urging means 37 urges the first transport belt 21 and the support member 35 in a direction to separate the pusher member 31 from one end of the banknote bundle 15A.

The first conveyor belt 21 is driven by the same drive motor when the second conveyor belt 25 is driven. That is, the transmission roller 21 c wound around the first conveyor belt 21 and one pulley 25 a wound around the second conveyor belt 25 transmit the driving force of the drive motor to the first conveyor belt 21. The transmission mechanism 41 is connected.
The transmission mechanism 41 winds a belt 45 between the one pulley 25a and an idler pulley 43 disposed above the one pulley 25a, and a pulley 49 of a shaft portion 47 provided rotatably on the idler pulley 43 and the support member 35. The drive belt 51 is wound between the two. The shaft portion 47 is connected to the transmission roller 21 c via the gear train 53. With the above configuration, the first conveyor belt 21 is driven by the drive motor.
The driving belt 51 wound around the pulley 49 of the shaft portion 47 can follow the movement of the pusher member 31 in the stacking direction (see FIG. 5). The gear ratio of the transmission mechanism 41 is set so that the drive speeds of the two conveyor belts 21 and 25 by the drive motor are equal.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 2, 5, and 7, the withdrawal pool section 11 has a first against the urging force of the urging means 37 in a state where the pusher member 31 is disposed in the discharge pool space 17. A pressing unit 61 that presses the transport belt 21 toward one end of the banknote bundle 15A is provided. The pressing means 61 includes an L-shaped lever 63 formed in a substantially L-shape and a cam 65 that is rotatably attached to the frame 29.
The L-shaped lever 63 is attached to the frame 29 so as to swing around its corner. The L-shaped lever 63 is urged in a direction (R direction) in which the tip of one extending portion 63 a extending from the connection portion with the frame 29 abuts on the shaft portion 47. Therefore, the L-shaped lever 63 swings following the movement of the shaft portion 47 accompanying the movement of the pusher member 31 by the urging force.

The cam 65 is rotated in a predetermined direction (rotated clockwise in the illustrated example) by a motor (not shown) in a state where the pusher member 31 is disposed in the discharge pool space 17, whereby the other extension portion constituting the L-shaped lever 63 is configured. It is comprised so that it may contact | abut to the front-end | tip of 63b. Then, by further pressing the cam 65 against the other extending portion 63b by the driving force of the motor, the L-shaped lever 63 is pressed so as to further rotate in the R direction. Then, since this pressing force is transmitted to the shaft portion 47 and the support member 35, the first conveying belt 21 is pressed toward one end of the banknote bundle 15A against the urging force of the urging means 37. become.
Therefore, the pressing means 61 plays a role of holding the banknote bundle 15 </ b> A disposed on the second transport belt 25 in the discharge pool space 17 by the two transport belts 21 and 25.

In the paper sheet processing apparatus 1 configured as described above, a method of discharging a plurality of banknotes 15 from the dispensing port 3b of the housing 3 in the state of the banknote bundle 15A will be described below.
First, the banknotes 15 are transported one by one from the storage unit 5 toward the temporary storage space 27 by the transport unit 9. In this state, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, one banknote 15 is supported by the pair of guide members 19 and is held in the temporary holding space 27.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the link mechanism 33 moves the pusher member 31 from above the temporary storage space 27 between the pair of guide members 19 to the discharge pool space 17. At this time, since the banknote 15 supported by the pair of guide members 19 is pressed toward the discharge pool space 17 by the pusher member 31, the banknote 15 moves over the groove 19a of the guide member 19 to the discharge pool space 17, and then the discharge pool. They are stacked in the space 17.
Note that the banknotes 15 are moved one by one by the pusher member 31, that is, two or more banknotes 15 are not held in the temporary holding space 27.

When the banknote bundle 15A in the stacked state arranged in the discharge pool space 17 as described above is discharged from the withdrawal port 3b of the housing 3, the pusher member 31 is disposed in the discharge pool space 17 in advance. deep. In this state, the pusher member 31 and the first transport belt 21 do not contact one end of the banknote bundle 15A.
Then, as shown in FIG. 7, the cam 65 is rotated and pressed against the other extension 63 b of the L-shaped lever 63, and the L-shaped lever 63 is pressed so as to rotate in the R direction. In this state, the first transport belt 21 resists the urging force of the urging means 37 via the shaft portion 47 and the support member 35 that are in contact with the one extending portion 63 a of the L-shaped lever 63. It is pressed toward one end of the bundle 15A. Based on this pressing force, the banknote bundle 15A is held between the two conveyor belts 21 and 25.

In this nipping state, a drive motor (not shown) 2 moves the contact surfaces of the two transport belts 21 and 25 that are in contact with one end and the other end of the banknote bundle 15A toward the withdrawal port 3b. The two conveyor belts 21 and 25 are driven. Thereby, all the banknotes 15 constituting the banknote bundle 15 </ b> A can be moved toward the withdrawal port 3 b without any misalignment between the banknotes 15, and the banknotes 15 can be prevented from remaining in the discharge pool space 17.
When the banknote bundle 15A discharged to the withdrawal port 3b is forgotten as described above and the banknote bundle 15A is taken into the reject unit 13 via the ejection pool space 17, the withdrawal slot What is necessary is just to drive each conveyance belt 21 and 25 in the reverse direction in the state which pinched the banknote bundle 15A arrange | positioned at the 3b side with the two conveyance belts 21 and 25. FIG. Also in this case, similarly to the above, all the banknotes 15 constituting the banknote bundle 15A can be moved to the discharge pool space 17 without any conveyance deviation between the banknotes 15, and the banknotes 15 remain on the withdrawal port 3b side. Can be prevented.

  As described above, according to the paper sheet processing apparatus 1 according to this embodiment, when the banknotes 15 are stacked on the discharge pool space 17, the banknotes 15 move from the temporary storage space 27 in the stacking direction of the banknote bundle 15A. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the banknotes 15 that are sequentially carried out to the discharge pool space 17 from being interfered with each other. In addition, when the banknote 15 is moved between the discharge pool space 17 and the dispensing port 3b of the housing 3, the banknote bundle 15A can be moved without any misalignment between the banknotes 15, and the banknote 15 is discharged into the discharge pool space. 17 and the withdrawal port 3b can be prevented from remaining, so that the reliability of the banknote 15 discharge function can be improved.

Moreover, the banknote bundle 15A can be securely held between the two conveyor belts 21 and 25 by pressing the first conveyor belt 21 against one end of the banknote bundle 15A by the pressing means 61. When the first conveying belt 21 is pressed by the pressing unit 61, the first conveying belt 21 moves in the stacking direction with respect to the pusher member 31, and therefore, the two conveying belts 21 and 25 are used. When the paper sheet bundle 15A is held, the pusher member 31 does not come into contact with one end of the banknote bundle 15A. In other words, it is not necessary to move the pusher member 31 to contact the banknote bundle 15A. Therefore, it is not necessary to adjust the movement range of the pusher member 31 with high accuracy, and the configuration of the link mechanism 33 and the like for moving the pusher member 31 can be simplified.
Furthermore, since the two conveyor belts 21 and 25 are driven by the same motor while holding the banknote bundle 15A, the operations of the two conveyor belts 21 and 25 can be easily synchronized.

In the above-described embodiment, the pair of guide members 19 is formed with the groove 19a forming the temporary storage space 27. However, the guide member 19 may not be formed. In the case of this configuration, the temporary storage space 27 may be formed above the pair of guide members 19. That is, a pair of guide members 19 may be disposed between the discharge pool space 17 and the temporary storage space 27.
Furthermore, although the pusher member 31 is made movable in the stacking direction of the banknote bundle 15A by the link mechanism 33, it can be moved in the stacking direction not only by the link mechanism 33 but also by the operation of a cam mechanism or other mechanisms. It does not matter if it is done.
Further, the pressing means 61 that presses the first transport belt 21 is configured by the L-shaped lever 63 and the cam 65, but is not limited thereto, and at least the first transport belt 21 is attached to the banknote bundle 15A. What is necessary is just to be comprised so that it may push toward one end. That is, the pressing unit 61 may be configured by another actuator, for example, using a combination of a suction force of a solenoid and a link.

  Further, when the banknote bundle 15A is moved between the discharge pool space 17 and the withdrawal port 3b, the first conveyor belt 21 is pressed by the pressing means 61 to hold the banknote bundle 15A. There is no limitation, and the banknote bundle 15A may be held between at least two transport belts 21 and 25. That is, for example, the second conveyor belt 25 may be attached to the frame 29 so as to be movable in the stacking direction, and a pressing unit that presses the second conveyor belt 25 toward the first conveyor belt 21 may be provided. Absent. In this case, the pair of rollers 21 a and 21 b and the transmission roller 21 c that wind the first transport belt 21 may be directly provided on the pusher member 31.

In addition, the temporary holding space 27 and the pusher assembly 23 are sequentially disposed above the discharge pool space 17 and the second transport belt 25 is not limited to be disposed below the discharge pool space 17. The holding space 27 and the pusher assembly 23 may be sequentially disposed below the discharge pool space 17, and the second transport belt 25 may be disposed above the discharge pool space 17.
Furthermore, although the movement of the banknote bundle 15A between the discharge pool space 17 and the withdrawal port 3b is performed by the two transport belts 21 and 25, the present invention is not limited to this. It may be performed by two conveying rollers (conveying means) that can be sandwiched and driven.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the paper sheet processing apparatus 1 which accommodates the banknote 15 received | paid from the deposit port 3a in the accommodating part 5, or conveys the banknote 15 from the accommodating part 5 and withdraws from the withdrawal port 3b. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention can also be applied to a paper sheet processing apparatus having only a function of transporting the banknote 15 from the storage unit 5 and withdrawing it from the withdrawal port 3b.

Furthermore, in the said embodiment, although the paper sheet processing apparatus 1 was described as what takes in and out the banknote 15, it is not restricted to this, Even if it applies to taking in and out of other paper sheets, such as a card and a ticket I do not care.
Moreover, although the paper sheet processing apparatus 1 provided with the some storage part 5 was described, it is not restricted to this, For example, it can apply to a paper sheet processing apparatus provided with the one storage part 5. FIG.
