Description

  The present invention relates to a sheet bundle conveying apparatus that conveys a sheet bundle such as securities.

  The paper sheet bundle transport device is used as an apparatus that is integrated with a paper sheet processing device that sorts paper sheets such as securities or that performs post-processing of the paper sheet processing device.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in an apparatus that transports an unbundled 1000 sheet bundle of 10 bundles of 100 sheets (hereinafter referred to as 100 sheet bundles), the quality of the sheets depends on the quality of the sheets. The thickness changes greatly. That is, the thickness of a 1000 sheet bundle of paper sheets that can be redistributed (hereinafter referred to as a regular note) is approximately 90 mm, but the paper sheets that cannot be redistributed (hereinafter referred to as a non-payment). ) May be about 200 mm in thickness.

  As described above, since it is difficult to transport an unbundled medium whose thickness shape is unstable, in the conventional apparatus, five 100-sheet bundles are stacked in order to suppress the thickness of 1000-sheet bundles. It has been carried out as a bundle of 500 sheets. In addition, when two 500 sheet bundles are stacked to form a 1000 sheet bundle, one 500 sheet bundle is inverted so that the thickness of the formed 1000 sheet bundle is constant. The binding position of the 500 sheet bundle is different from the binding position of other 500 sheet bundles.

  Note that the form of transporting the 500 sheet bundle or the 1000 sheet bundle is not a form in which a 400 sheet bundle or a 900 sheet bundle is stacked on a 100 sheet bundle, but a 100 sheet bundle. 5 or 10 standing 100-sheet leaf bundles with the side end face of the leaf bundle at the bottom are handled in a state of being placed together in a lump. Such a form is used because the contact area with respect to the moving surface is smaller than when the front or back surface of the paper sheet is in contact with the moving surface, and simply a stack of 5 or 10 sheets of 100 sheets of paper sheets. Compared with the case where it does, it has been adopted because it is less likely to collapse when moving, and this form is also used as a basis for solving the problems of the present invention. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2008-276751 (page 7, FIG. 3)

  However, the above-described 1000-sheet bundle is required to reverse one of the two 500-sheet bundles to form a 1000-sheet bundle by arranging them side by side, which complicates the apparatus. There was a problem.

  Further, if the bundle of 1000 sheets of paper is bundled, it is a conventional and easy method to place the bundle of 1000 sheets of paper on the belt conveyor. However, as in this embodiment, there is about 1 kg of unbound 1000 sheet bundle (100 sheet bundle is bundled but 1000 sheet bundle is unbound), which is used as a belt conveyor. There is a problem in that, when transported by a transporting means that may be bent at the bottom, the load collapses easily.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and even when the weight of the sheet bundle of 1000 sheets is appropriate and the thickness of the sheet bundle of 1000 sheets is changed, By changing the width of the moving guide for holding the 1000 sheet bundle in accordance with the thickness of the 1000 sheet bundle, the 1000 sheet bundle is used without using the reversing mechanism of the 500 sheet bundle described above. It is an object of the present invention to provide a sheet bundle conveying apparatus capable of conveying the sheet.

  In order to achieve the above object, a paper sheet bundle conveying device according to claim 1 of the present invention includes a plurality of plate-like bodies that are longer than the length in the direction orthogonal to the conveying direction of the paper sheet bundle to be conveyed. A transport table configured on the transport table, a fixed guide disposed in the transport direction on the transport table, a movable guide disposed at a position facing the fixed guide, and a slide disposed at a position orthogonal to the fixed guide and the movable guide. A rail, the movable guide is attached via an arm, a first slider that can move forward and backward on the slide rail, and a bias that biases the first slider toward the fixed guide with a constant load. A biasing means, a second slider that is attached to the first slider immediately before the fixed guide direction and has a stopper for stopping the movement of the first slider, and the second slider. Guide opening / closing mechanism means for moving the lid along the slide rail, a slider detection sensor for detecting the position of the second slider moved by the guide opening / closing mechanism means, and formed between the fixed guide and the movable guide An extruding means for extruding the paper sheet bundle to the transported path, and a paper sheet bundle detecting sensor for detecting the paper sheet bundle extruded by the extruding means, wherein the paper sheet bundle detecting sensor is extruded by the previous extruding means. When the sheet bundle is detected, the extrusion by the pushing means is stopped, the second slider is advanced on the axis of the slide rail, and moved until the position is detected by the slider detection sensor. The movable guide clamps the sheet bundle on the fixed guide side by the urging force of the urging means, and the sandwiched sheet bundle is pushed out. Characterized by comprising a control means further pushing in the conveyance direction downstream by a step.

  Even when the thickness of the 1000 sheet bundle is changed, the width of the moving guide for holding the 1000 sheet bundle is changed according to the thickness of the 1000 sheet bundle as described above. It is an object of the present invention to provide a paper sheet bundle conveying apparatus capable of moving 1000 sheet paper sheet bundles without using a sheet sheet bundle reversing mechanism.

  The priority route processing of the present invention can be used to set a priority route when a station staff issues a commuter pass using a commuter pass issuing machine. DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a sheet bundle conveying device 100 according to the present invention. The sheet bundle conveying apparatus 100 is provided with a fixed guide 1, a movable guide 2, a guide opening / closing mechanism unit 4, a conveying table 5, and the like.

  A 1000 sheet bundle S is pushed out and supplied by a pusher or the like to be described later in the direction of arrow A on the conveyance table 5 of the thus configured sheet bundle conveyance device 100. The sheet bundle conveying apparatus 100 is an apparatus that stably moves the 1000 sheet bundle S supplied in this way without falling down.

  The 1000 sheet bundle S of the present embodiment is premised on the case where 10 100 sheet bundles H are placed side by side in the same direction and supplied in the illustrated state. The 100 sheet bundle H is formed by laminating 100 sheets P and binding them with a binding band K such as a paper band or cellophane.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the positions of the cable ties K are aligned in the same direction will be described.

  For example, when the paper sheet P is a securities, a person or the like is printed on the front and back surfaces, but when a watermark is applied on one of the left and right sides, 100 sheets are stacked in the same direction. When the leaf bundle H is formed, the thickness of the watermarked portion and the printed portion is often different. When 10 sheets 100 sheet bundles H in this state are placed next to each other to form 1000 sheets sheet bundle S, the thickness difference for 100 sheets sheet bundle H becomes 10 times.

  In addition, paper sheets include relatively new paper sheets that can be reused, which are called regular tickets, and old paper sheets that cannot be reused. Regardless of whether or not there is printing or watermarking as described above, a non-performing ticket becomes thicker due to dirt, creases, and the like. In the case of a bundle of 1000 sheets of paper, the correct ticket is about 90 mm, while the damaged ticket is about 200 mm. In other words, depending on the quality of the paper sheets, the thickness of the 1000 sheet bundle S may vary about twice.

  Furthermore, in the case of a genuine note, there is little difference between the thickness of the front end portion bound by the binding band K and the thickness of the rear end portion without the binding band. The difference between the thickness and the thickness of the rear end portion without the binding band becomes large.

  As described above, when the sheet bundle S of 1000 sheets is formed, when the direction of the binding band K is aligned and placed adjacent to each other, the variation in the thickness of the sheet bundle of 1000 sheets becomes large for the reason described above. Therefore, as a countermeasure, after one 500-sheet bundle is reversed and placed on the transport path so that the bundling position of the 500-sheet bundle is different from the bundling position of the other 500-sheet bundle The reason for moving often is to solve these problems, as described in the “Background Art” above.

  However, just because this 500-sheet bundle was reversed, the difference between the thickness of the 1000-sheet bundle of genuine tickets and the thickness of the 1000-sheet bundle of non-paid tickets was alleviated. Remain.

  FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the fixed guide 1. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the inside of the fixed guide 1 shown in FIG. 2 when the belt 11 is removed. Hereinafter, description will be given with reference to FIGS.

  Idle rollers 12a to 12d are arranged on the base 15 from the receiving portion 11a of the 1000 sheet bundle S toward the downstream of the conveyance along the conveyance table 5 constituting the conveyance path. A belt 11 is wound around the idle rollers 12a to 12d.

  As a result, a receiving portion 11a for receiving the 1000 sheet bundle S and a conveyance guide surface 11b when the 1000 sheet bundle S moves to the conveyance downstream side are formed.

  Here, the entrance roller 11a is provided with an idle roller 12a so as to open with respect to the conveyance guide surface 11b with an opening angle θ1 (15 ° in this embodiment). The fixed guide 1 basically has only a function as a guide, and does not have a function of actively taking in and transporting the 1000 sheet bundle S. This is because, when the sheet bundle S is pushed out and supplied by a pusher, which will be described later, it has only a function of accepting the 1000 sheet bundle S and guiding it so as to be moved along the conveyance guide surface 11b. is there.

  Deflection prevention guides 13 and 13 are arranged between the idle rollers 12b and 12c and between the idle rollers 12c and 12d to limit the deformation of the belt 13.

  A belt guide 14 is disposed at the return portion of the belt 11 to prevent the belt 11 from being detached from the idle roller 12 (a general term for idle rollers 12a to 12d).

  The belt 11, the idle roller 12, the bending prevention guide 13 and the belt guide 14 described above are all attached to the base 15. Further, the base 15 is fixed to a frame (not shown) constituting the paper sheet bundle transport device 100.

  4 is a perspective view of the movable guide 2 and the slider portion 3 shown in FIG. FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the movable guide 2 and the slider portion 3 shown in FIG. FIG. 6 is a perspective view for explaining the guide opening / closing mechanism 4 that drives the slider 33 shown in FIG. Hereinafter, the movable guide 2 will be described with reference to these drawings.

  The movable guide 2 is arranged at a position facing the conveyance table 5 with respect to the fixed guide 1, and can move forward and backward toward the fixed guide 1 as the slider 33 is controlled to move forward and backward by the control unit 44. .

  By being configured in this way, the movable guide 2 is sandwiched while pressing the 1000 sheet bundle S, which is placed between the movable guide 2 and the fixed guide 1, against the fixed guide 1 side, and from the upstream in the transport direction to the downstream in the transport direction. It has a function to guide it so that it is moved toward. Hereinafter, the configuration and operation will be described in detail.

  The movable guide 2 is arranged at a position opposite to the conveyance table 5 with respect to the fixed guide 1 and is configured in a mirror image with the fixed guide 1 in order to nipping and conveying (moving) the incoming 1000 sheet bundle S. . That is, the receiving part 11a and the conveyance guide surface 11b of the fixed guide 1 are configured similarly to the reception part 21a and the conveyance guide 21b of the movable guide 2. Accordingly, the opening angle θ2 of the intrusion portion 21a of the movable guide 2 is set to 15 ° similarly to the opening angle θ1 of the fixed guide 1.

  Further, idle rollers 22a to 22d are arranged on the base 25 from the entrance 21a toward the downstream of the conveyance. Further, a belt 21 is wound around the idle rollers 12a to 22d.

  The base 25 is coupled to the slide rail 31 via an arm 26a fixed to the first slider 26b so as to be linearly movable. The slide rail 31 is arranged in a direction orthogonal to the conveyance guide surface 11 b of the fixed guide 1.

  The arm 26 a is fixed to the first slider 26 b and connected to the slide rail 31. The arm 26 a is pulled in the direction in which the fixed guide 1 is disposed by a constant load spring 34 disposed in parallel with the slide rail 31. With such a configuration, the movable guide 2 is always pulled with a constant load in the direction of the fixed guide 1 by the constant load spring 34.

  The slider (second slider) 33 is disposed in front of the position where the arm 26 a is coupled to the slide rail 31 (downstream in the pulling direction). The slider 33 is provided with a guide stopper 33a and a dog 33b which is a detected body for detecting the position of the slider 33. The main body of the slider 33 is driven by a guide opening / closing mechanism (guide opening / closing mechanism means 4).

  The guide opening / closing mechanism 4 includes a motor 41 as a drive source, a pulley 43a that is attached to a rotation shaft of the motor 41 and rotates coaxially, a timing belt 42, and a pulley 43b.

  The timing belt 42 is wound around a pulley 43a incorporated in the rotating shaft of the motor 41 and a pulley 43b fixed in front of the moving direction of the slider 33 to constitute a ring-shaped endless belt. An attachment portion 33 c of the slider 33 is attached to one end of the timing belt 42.

  The motor 41 is forward / reversely controlled by the control unit 45. By this rotation control, the slider 33 can move freely.

  When the slider 33 moves with the movement of the timing belt 42, the guide stopper 33a also moves, so that the movable guide 2 positioned by the guide stopper 33a moves.

  FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a slider detection sensor 44a that detects the position of the slider 33 shown in FIG. The position of the slider 33 is determined by detecting a dog 33 b as a detection target provided on the slider 33. In this embodiment, two slider detection sensors 44 a and 44 b are arranged in the moving direction of the slide rail 31.

  When the slider 33 (second slider) is moved forward on the axis of the slide rail 31 and moved until it is detected by the slider detection sensor 44b, the slider detection sensor 44b is disposed at the conveyance guide surface 21b of the movable guide 2. Presses the 1000 sheet bundle S, so that the guide stopper 33a of the slider 33 is released from the urging force from the arm 26a fixed to the first slider 26b.

  That is, in the 1000-sheet leaf bundle conveying apparatus of the present embodiment, even when the thickness of the 1000-sheet leaf bundle to be conveyed is the smallest, it is released from the above-described urging force (not subjected to the urging force). State).

  FIG. 8 is a side view of the sheet bundle conveying apparatus 100 in which the conveying table 5 is incorporated. FIG. 9 is a plan view of the transport table 5 and shows a state before the movable guide 2 moves. FIG. 10 is a plan view of the transfer table 5 shown in FIG. 9 and shows a state where the movable guide 2 has moved.

  Since the weight of the 1000 sheet bundle S is about 1 kg, the transport table 5 needs not to be bent like a belt conveyor. In addition, a hard material having a low friction coefficient is desirable in order to make contact with the bottom of the 1000 sheet bundle S with a structure that can withstand it. In the present embodiment, the metallic guide plates 5a to 5c considering the above are used, but a Teflon (R) sheet, a plastic sheet, or the like may be attached.

  The leading end portions of the guide plates 5a to 5c on the upstream side are bent downward by θ3 (15 ° in this embodiment), respectively, and when the 1000 sheet bundle S is transported downstream from the receiving portions 11a and 21a. Further, the conveyance leading edge of the 1000 sheet bundle S is configured not to be caught in the joint between the guide plates 5a to 5c.

  Further, gaps 5d and 5d are provided between the guide plates 5a and 5b and between the guide plates 5b and 5c, and the arm 26a can move through the gaps. The movement of the movable guide 2 along with the movement of the arm 26a is as described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 9 shows a state before the movable guide 2 moves (home position), and shows a state before the 1000 sheet bundle S is received, where the space between the fixed guide 1 and the movable guide 2 is wide. On the other hand, FIG. 10 shows a state in which the 1000 sheet bundle S is detected by the sheet bundle detection sensor 6 (generic name of the light emitting unit 6 a and the light receiving unit 6 b), and the movable guide 2 moves toward the fixed guide 1.

  FIGS. 11-15 is a state transition diagram for demonstrating operation | movement of the paper sheet bundle conveying apparatus 100 of this invention. This series of operations is controlled by the control unit 45.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a state before the 1000 sheet bundle S is detected by the sheet bundle detection sensor 6, and is a standby state of the movable guide 2. In this state, the movable guide 2 is in a state where the distance between the fixed guide portions 1 is the longest and the conveyance path is the widest.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the paper sheet bundle detection sensor 6 has been pushed out by the pusher 7 from the state illustrated in FIG. 11. Hereinafter, the operation is shown in order (1) to (3).

(1) First, the 1000 sheet bundle S is pushed out in the direction of the arrow A by the pusher 7.

(2) As a result of the above (1), when the 1000 sheet bundle S is detected by the sheet bundle detection sensor 6, the pusher 7 stops pushing.

(3) The control unit 45 drives the motor 41 of the guide opening / closing mechanism unit (guide opening / closing mechanism means) 4 to move the slider 33 in the axial direction of the slide rail 31. As a result, the movable guide 2 fixed to the arm 26 a that cannot move by the guide stopper 33 a of the slider 33 moves toward the fixed guide 1 side with the movement of the slider 33. FIG. 12 shows the state in which the movable guide 2 is moving.

  FIG. 13 shows a state where the movable guide 2 further moves from the state (3) and the 1000 sheet bundle S is sandwiched between the fixed guide 1. In this sandwiched state, the movable guide 2 presses the 1000 sheet bundle S toward the fixed guide 1 by a constant load spring (biasing means) 34.

  On the other hand, the slider 33 moves until a dog 33b as a detection object provided on the slider 33 is detected by the slider detection sensor 44b. When the dog 33b is detected, the control unit 45 stops the motor 41.

  Accordingly, at this time, the guide stopper 33a moves until the dog 33b is detected by the slider detection sensor 44b. However, the position where the movable guide 2 stops depends on the thickness of the 1000 sheets of sheet bundle S.

  In this embodiment, since the constant load spring (biasing means) 34 is used to press the 1000 sheet bundle S, the thickness of the 1000 sheet bundle described in “Problem” changes. Even so, the 1000 sheet bundle can be held with a constant pressing force.

  FIG. 14 shows a state in which the 1000 sheet bundle S sandwiched between the fixed guide 1 and the movable guide 2 is being pushed out by the pusher 7. In this state, the 1000 sheet bundle S is pressed with a predetermined pressing force by the constant load spring 34, but the 1000 sheet bundle is connected to the conveyance guide surfaces 11 b and 21 b of the fixed guide 1 and the movable guide 2. Since the belt in contact with the belt is hung on the idle roller, the rotational load is small, the belt is pressed by the pusher 7, and is easily pushed out downstream in the conveyance direction.

  In FIG. 15, the 1000 sheet bundle S sandwiched between the fixed guide 1 and the movable guide 2 is discharged from the transport table 5 of the sheet bundle apparatus 100 in this way.

  When this discharge is finished, the pusher 7 returns to the original state (see FIG. 11) in order to process the next 1000 sheet bundle. Similarly, the control unit 45 reversely rotates the motor 41 and returns the slider 33 to the original position until the dog 33b is detected by the slider detection sensor 44a.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating a main part of the sheet bundle conveying apparatus 100 using the fixed guide 1x and the movable guide 2x according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Since the other parts of the present embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the description of the similar parts is omitted and the different parts are described.

  The fixed guide 1x is a plate-shaped guide that eliminates the idle rollers 12a to 12d and the belt 11 constituting the fixed guide 1 shown in FIG. 2 or 3, and makes the opening angle θ of the conveyance guide surface 11b and the receiving portion 11a the same. , And a low contact resistance material is pasted or applied to a portion where the guide comes into contact with the surface of the 1000 sheet bundle S. For example, the effect can be similarly achieved by sticking a Teflon (R) sheet to the surfaces of the entrance portion 1xa and the conveyance guide surface 1xb of the fixed guide 1x.

  The movable guide 2x is a plate-like body in which the idle rollers 22a to 22d and the belt 21 constituting the movable guide 2 shown in FIG. 4 or FIG. 5 are abolished and the opening angle θ of the conveyance guide surface 21b and the receiving portion 21a is made the same. A guide is used, and the low contact resistance material is attached to a portion where the guide contacts the surface of the 1000 sheet bundle S. As the low contact resistance material, the above-described Teflon (R) sheet can be used.

  As described above, with the configuration of the second embodiment, the same effects as those of the fixed guide 1 and the movable guide 1 shown in the first embodiment can be obtained.

  As described in the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the following effects (1) to (3) can be obtained according to the 1000 sheet bundle conveying apparatus of the present invention.

(1) Even if the thickness of a 1000-sheet bundle is different depending on whether it is a genuine note or a damaged note, it is possible to perform nipping conveyance according to the thickness.

(2) Since the unbound 1000 sheet bundle is nipped and conveyed, it can be conveyed in an upright position without causing collapse.

(3) According to this method, even if the medium has a corresponding weight, the portion receiving the weight of the medium can be made of a hard material having a small coefficient of friction. Since the guide can be transported by light, it is possible to realize light load transport.

  In the present invention, a description has been given of a 1000 sheet bundle as an example. However, a 500 sheet bundle can also be transported, and a sheet bundle exceeding 1000 sheets can be transported. It is natural that there is a case.
