Description

  The present invention relates to a sheet-like medium storage device used in a medium processing device such as a check processing device. More specifically, the present invention relates to a sheet-like medium storage device that distributes and stores sheet-like media in a plurality of storage pockets according to processing results and the like.

  In financial institutions such as stores and banks, securities such as checks brought in from customers are placed on a check processing device and magnetic ink characters printed on the surface are read. Also, settlement processing is performed based on the read magnetic ink characters. Some checks that are brought in may not be able to read magnetic ink characters. For this reason, in the check processing device, checks are sorted and stored in two different storage pockets according to the reading result of magnetic ink characters. Patent Document 1 discloses such a check processing apparatus.

In the check processing apparatus, a check is processed while being conveyed in a standing state on a conveyance path defined by a narrow vertical groove. The downstream side of the conveyance path is branched into two branch passages, and the storage pockets are formed at the downstream ends of these branch passages. Each storage pocket as a whole consists of a groove with a predetermined depth that is a long rectangle in the front-rear direction, and checks sent in from the front end side are stored aligned in the storage pocket width direction. Yes.

  Here, the depth dimension of each storage pocket is defined to be shallower than the width dimension of the check so that the check stored therein can be easily grasped by hand. That is, the check is stored in each storage pocket with its upper portion protruding upward from the upper end opening of each storage pocket. Also, the two storage pockets are arranged adjacent to each other at a narrow interval in order to save the width of the check processing device. For this reason, when the check stored in one storage pocket does not have a waist, the upper part protruding upward from the storage pocket may bend and fall into the other storage pocket.

  In such a state, the portion of the check that is stored in one of the storage pockets falls into the approach path of the check that is fed into the other storage pocket. As a result, there is a problem that the stored check collides with the sent check and the sent check falls into a jamming state.

  In view of the above, the problem of the present invention is that the sheet-like medium fed into one storage pocket collides with the sheet-like medium stored in the other storage pocket disposed adjacently. This is to propose a sheet-like medium storage device that can avoid this.

In order to solve the above-described problem, the sheet-like medium storage device of the present invention includes:
Having first and second storage pockets for storing sheet-like media;

  In this way, even if the check sent into the second storage pocket is bent toward the first storage pocket, the bent portion is not removed as the sheet-like medium enters the second storage pocket. Launched on an inclined surface. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the sheet-like medium fed into the second storage pocket from colliding with the front end surface of the partition plate and falling into a shamming state. Similarly, even if the check fed into the first storage pocket is bent toward the second storage pocket, the bent portion is inclined by the inclined surface as the check enters the first storage pocket. Launched upwards. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the sheet-like medium fed into the first storage pocket from colliding with the front end face of the partition plate and falling into a shamming state.

  In the present invention, in order to widen the space on the first storage pocket side in order to secure the entry path for the sheet-like medium fed into the first storage pocket, the side surface on the second storage pocket side of the partition plate is It is desirable that the second storage pocket is attached so as to be located on the same plane as the first side surface.

  In this case, it is desirable that the partition plate is attached to a front end portion of the first side surface of the second storage pocket. Since the front end portion of the first side surface of the second storage pocket is located at a position near the front end side of the first storage pocket that is adjacently disposed, the partition plate is attached to the first storage pocket by attaching the partition plate to such a position. It is arranged at a position close to the entry path of the sheet-like medium sent into the pocket. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the sheet-like medium stored in the second pocket from collapsing and blocking the entrance path of the sheet-like medium entering the first storage pocket.

Here, in order to prevent the sheet-like medium from colliding with the joint portion between the first side surface of the second storage pocket and the partition plate attached thereto, the jamming state is caused. The plate includes a protruding plate portion protruding upward from the upper end openings of the first and second storage pockets, and a mounting plate portion attached to the first side surface portion of the second storage pocket. ,

Inside the second storage pocket 14, two vertical pressing plates 48 and 49 inclined rearward at a predetermined angle from the second side surface 42 toward the first side surface 41 are arranged.

  The check 6 distributed to the second branch passage 12 by the switching lever 17 is fed into the second storage pocket 14 by the feed roller pair 47. At this time, the check 6 enters the inside of the second storage pocket 14 while being guided by the inclined guide surface 46 so that the tip portion thereof faces the first side surface 41. The sent check 6 is pressed against the first side surface 41 by the vertical pressing plates 48 and 49 and stored in an overlapped state.

  The partition member 15 defines the second side surface 32 and the inclined guide surface 36 of the first storage pocket 13 on one side surface, and defines the first side surface 41 and the front end surface 43 of the second storage pocket 14 on the other side surface. Yes. The partition member 15 is attached to the bottom plate 18 that defines the bottom surfaces 35 and 45 of the first and second storage pockets 13 and 14, and the capacity of the first storage pocket 13 is larger than the capacity of the second storage pocket 14. Are also arranged to be larger.

  The partition plate 16 is made of a transparent flat plate made of polycarbonate. A rectangular mounting plate portion 16a serving as a mounting portion to the partition member 15 and an abbreviated portion protruding upward from the upper end openings of the first and second storage pockets 13 and 14 in a state of being attached to the partition member 15. A triangular protruding plate portion 16b is provided. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 3, the two hooks 16c which protrude below from the lower end of the attachment board part 16a are provided. Here, the partition member 15 is attached to the bottom plate 18 by using a hook 16 c of the partition plate 16 attached to the partition member 15.

  The attachment plate portion 16 a is fitted and attached to a recess 41 a formed in the front end portion of the first side surface 41 of the second storage pocket 14. As a result, the side surface of the partition plate 16 on the second storage pocket 14 side is positioned on the same plane as the first side surface 31. An inclined surface 16d that protrudes toward the inner side and the rear end side of the second storage pocket 14 is formed at the rear end portion of the mounting plate portion 16a.

  The front end surface 16e of the protruding plate portion 16b is an inclined surface that extends upwardly at an angle of less than 90 degrees from the upper end of the first side surface 31 toward the rear end side. Further, the position of the upper end 16 </ b> A of the partition plate 16 is higher than the position of the center of gravity of the check 6 stored in the first and second storage pockets 13, 14. Here, since the check 6 in the market has a width of 60 mm to 125 mm, when the check 6 having a width of 125 mm is stored in the storage pocket, the position of the upper end 16A of the partition plate 16 is the check. 6 so that it is higher than the center of gravity.

  In the check storage 10 of this example, the rear end portions of the first and second storage pockets 13 and 14 are defined by a drawer 19 that can be pulled out rearward. When the drawer 19 is pulled backward from the state shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the storage pockets 13 and 14 extend in the front-rear direction. Thereby, the check 6 of a long dimension can be received and accommodated.

  Next, the effect of the partition plate 16 is demonstrated with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a front view of the check processing apparatus as viewed from the front end side, FIG. 5 (a) shows a case where the partition plate 16 is not attached to the partition member 15, and FIG. 5 (b) shows that the partition plate 16 is partitioned. The case where it is attached to the member 15 is shown.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, when the partition plate 16 is not attached to the partition member 15, the check 6 stored in the second storage pocket 14 is removed from the upper end opening of the second storage pocket 14. The portion protruding upward is bent and falls down so as to cover a part of the upper end opening of the first storage pocket 13 from above. In addition, the upper end portion of the check 6 that has collapsed blocks the upper side of the approach path A of the check 6 that is fed from the first branch passage 11 into the first storage pocket 13 in the direction of the arrow. Therefore, the check 6 fed into the first storage pocket 13 collides with the check 6 stored in the second storage pocket 14 and falls into a jamming state.

  On the other hand, when the partition plate 16 is attached to the partition member 15, as shown in FIG. 5B, the check 6 stored in the second storage pocket 14 by the partition plate 16 is the first. It is prevented that the storage pocket 13 falls down. As a result, an approach path A for the check 6 that is fed from the first branch passage 11 into the first storage pocket 13 in the direction of the arrow is secured. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the check 6 fed into the first storage pocket 13 and the check 6 stored in the second storage pocket 14 from colliding and falling into a jamming state.

  As described above, in the check processing apparatus 1 of the present example, the partition plate 16 protruding above the upper end opening of each storage pocket is attached between the first and second storage pockets 13 and 14. Therefore, even if the check 6 stored in one storage pocket falls into the other storage pocket, it can be prevented. As a result, it is possible to avoid a collision between the check 6 stored in one storage pocket and the check 6 sent into the other storage pocket, so that the check sent into each storage pocket 13, 14. 6 does not fall into the jamming state.

  Further, since the position of the upper end 16A of the partition plate 16 is higher than the position of the center of gravity of the check 6 stored in the first and second storage pockets 13, 14, the check 6 stored in one storage pocket. Can be reliably avoided from falling into the other storage pocket. If the maximum value of the width dimension of the check 6 distributed in the market is 125 mm, in order to prevent the check 6 from falling to the other storage pocket, the position of the upper end 16A of the partition plate 16 is set to the first storage. It is preferably 70 mm to 110 mm from the bottom surface 35 of the pocket 13 or the bottom surface 45 of the second storage pocket 14, and more preferably about 80 mm.

  Further, since the front end face 16e of the partition plate 16 has an inclined surface extending upwardly at an angle of less than 90 degrees toward the rear end side, the check 6 fed into the second storage pocket 14 is the first one. Even when it is fed in a state of being bent toward the one storage pocket 13, the portion bent as the check 6 enters the second pocket is raised upward by the front end face 16e. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the check 6 sent into the second storage pocket 14 from colliding with the partition plate 16 and falling into a shhammed state. Similarly, even when the check 6 sent into the first storage pocket 13 is sent in a state of being bent toward the second storage pocket 14, as the check 6 enters the first storage pocket 13. The bent portion is raised upward by the front end face 16e. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the check 6 sent into the first storage pocket 13 from colliding with the partition plate 16 and falling into a shhammed state. In order to raise the bent check 6 upward, the inclination angle of the front end face 16e of the partition plate 16 is preferably 30 degrees to 80 degrees, more preferably about 70 degrees.

  Here, in the check processing device 1, there are more cases where the information carried on the check 6 can be read normally than when the reading fails, so the first storage pocket 13 has the second storage pocket 14. More checks 6 are fed and stored. However, according to this example, the side surface of the partition plate 16 on the second storage pocket 14 side is attached so as to be positioned on the same plane as the first side surface 41 of the second storage pocket 14. Therefore, the space on the side of the first storage pocket 13 can be widened to preferentially secure the approach path for the check 6 fed into the first storage pocket 13.

  Furthermore, the partition plate 16 is attached to the front end portion of the first side surface 41 of the second storage pocket 14. Since the front end portion of the first side surface 41 of the second storage pocket 14 is located at a position close to the front end side of the adjacent first storage pocket 13, the partition plate 16 can be attached by attaching the partition plate 16 to such a position. 16 is arranged at a position close to the approach path of the check 6 sent into the first storage pocket 13. Therefore, it can be avoided that the check 6 stored in the second pocket falls down and blocks the approach path of the check 6 entering the first storage pocket 13.

  Moreover, since the inclined surface 16d is formed in the rear-end part of the attaching plate part 16a of the partition plate 16, the 1st side surface 41 of the 2nd storage pocket 14 and the partition plate 16 attached here are connected. It can be avoided that the check 6 collides with the eye part and falls into a jamming state.

  Moreover, in this example, since the partition plate 16 is transparent, it is easy to see the storage state of the checks 6 stored in the first and second storage pockets 13 and 14. Moreover, since the partition plate 16 is not conspicuous, there is little influence on the appearance impression of the check processing device 1.

  Further, the partition plate 16 is made of polycarbonate, and its strength is ensured. For this reason, the partition member 15 to which the partition plate 16 is attached can be attached to the bottom plate 18 by the hook 16 c formed on the lower end side of the partition plate 16. As a result, the check processing apparatus 1 can be easily manufactured.

(Other embodiments)
In addition, the partition plate 16 can also be configured to include only the protruding plate portion 16b. In this case, it may be attached to the upper end surface of the partition member 15. In addition, the partition plate 16 may be attached between the second side surface 32 of the first storage pocket 13 and the first side surface 41 of the second storage pocket 14. It is possible to prevent the check 6 stored on the side of the pocket from falling into the other storage pocket. However, from the viewpoint of preferentially securing the entry path of the check 6 sent into the first storage pocket 13, the partition plate 16 should be disposed at a position close to the first side surface 41 of the second storage pocket 14. Is preferred.

  In this example, the first storage pocket 13 and the second storage pocket 14 have two storage pockets, and the partition plate 16 is installed between them. However, there are three or more storage pockets, You may comprise so that this partition plate may each be installed in between.

  The present invention can also be used as a storage device for a medium processing apparatus for processing sheet-like media other than checks such as checks, bills, and bills. For example, it can be used as a sheet medium storage device mounted on a medium processing apparatus such as a printer or a scanner.
