Description

  The present invention relates to a banknote handling apparatus mounted on a device such as a vending machine or a game machine, and in particular, in a banknote handling apparatus that accepts a plurality of types of banknotes having different banknote widths, a technique for correcting the deviation of banknotes when inserting banknotes. About.

  In general, inside a device body such as a vending machine that handles banknotes, it is determined whether or not an inserted banknote is a genuine note, and only a banknote determined to be a genuine note is stored. Is installed.

  In such a banknote handling apparatus, when a banknote is inserted from a banknote insertion slot, the entrance sensor detects insertion of the banknote, drives the banknote transport means, and transports the banknote along the banknote transport path into the apparatus. The authenticity of a banknote is discriminate | determined by the identification sensor provided in the predetermined position in a banknote conveyance path | route.

  At this time, the identification sensor detects a physical feature of the banknote by scanning a predetermined position of the banknote. Therefore, in order to scan and reliably detect a predetermined position of a bill, it is necessary that the posture of the bill passing through the identification sensor and the position in the width direction are always kept the same.

  On the other hand, some banknotes have different widths depending on the denomination, and even when banknotes with different banknote widths are inserted, identification is started in order to scan and reliably detect a predetermined position of the banknote. In the meantime, it is necessary to align the posture of the banknote and the position in the width direction at the center or one side edge in the banknote transport path.

  For example, it has a pair of movable pieces arranged so as to be able to move forward and backward on both sides of the banknote transport path, move the pair of movable pieces in a direction close to each other, and contact the movable pieces against the side edge of the banknote By doing so, a centering mechanism that aligns the center of the banknote with the center of the banknote transport path is disclosed (Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-279487).

  However, the center justification mechanism of Patent Document 1 has a problem that the cost increases because it is necessary to drive the movable pieces on both sides to a position where the width dimension of the bill measured in advance can be secured.

  Further, there is disclosed a one-way mechanism that has an oblique roller for conveying a banknote in an oblique direction in a banknote conveyance path, and abuts one side edge of the banknote on the wall surface of the restriction portion and then advances straight along the wall surface of the restriction portion. (Patent Document 2: International Publication No. 2012/161063).

  However, when the banknote is inserted in the oblique direction from the banknote insertion port, the banking mechanism of Patent Document 2 has a possibility that the banknote corner may collide with the wall surface of the banknote conveyance path and the banknote may be damaged and cannot be offset.

JP 2002-279487 A International Publication No. 2012/161063

  Therefore, in view of the circumstances described above, the present invention does not measure the width dimension of the banknote in advance and does not require a movable piece in order to make it possible to position the banknote, and the banknote is inserted obliquely. However, an object of the present invention is to provide a banknote handling apparatus including a banknote shifting mechanism that can be shifted without damaging the banknote.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, in the banknote handling apparatus of the present invention, the banknote inserted from the banknote insertion slot is transported in the banknote transport direction which is the downstream direction of the banknote transport path, and the banknote is transported in the banknote transport path. The bill side-by-side mechanism includes a bill side-by-side mechanism that moves toward one side wall surface of both side wall surfaces that regulate the banknote width direction, and further conveys the banknote along the one side wall surface. A first roller disposed in the vicinity of the side wall surface and having a conveying force in a direction inclined in the direction of the one side wall surface in the bill conveyance path; and the same position as the first roller in the bill conveyance direction or A second roller disposed upstream of the first roller and having an intermittent conveying force in the banknote conveying direction; and protruding from the surface of the banknote conveying path in the vicinity of the second roller; When the second roller does not convey the banknotes, the convex portion that comes into contact with the banknotes, and two ball rollers disposed at positions facing each of the first roller and the second roller via the banknote conveyance path And an inclination variable mechanism that makes it possible to change an inclination angle of the first roller with respect to the bill conveyance direction.

  As described above, in the banknote shifting mechanism provided in the banknote handling apparatus of the present invention, a part of the banknote is intermittently conveyed by one ball roller and the first roller, and the other part of the banknote is a ball roller. When a banknote is inserted with the left corner leading by intermittently transporting it with the second roller and the convex part, it is counter-clockwise and is shifted along the left side wall surface, and the banknote is moved with the right corner leading. When inserted, the paper is gradually shifted to the left side wall surface while rotating in the clockwise direction. Therefore, even when the banknote is inserted obliquely, it is possible to shift the banknote without damaging it.

  In addition, when correcting the deviation of the banknote by the banknote shifting mechanism of the present invention, it is not necessary to perform a pre-operation such as measuring the banknote width in advance, a sensor, or the like, so that an inexpensive banknote processing apparatus can be provided. it can.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a banknote handling apparatus including a banknote shifting mechanism according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings showing FIGS. 1 to 10. In addition, in each drawing, the side by which a banknote insertion slot is arrange | positioned shall be defined as a front.

  FIG. 1 relates to the banknote handling apparatus 1, on the front panel 4, the front mechanism 5 of the banknote shifting mechanism 3 arranged on the front side of the upstream side of the banknote transport path 2, and the rear side of the upstream side of the banknote transport path 2. It is the exploded view which showed the apparatus main body 9 which has the rear surface mechanisms 8 of the banknote fragment arrangement | positioning mechanism 3 arrange | positioned.

  The front panel 4 has a bill insertion slot 41 and is exposed from a mounting hole formed on the front surface of a device such as a vending machine (not shown). 9 is fixed with a screw or the like (not shown).

  The rear wall surface 51 provided on the rear surface of the front mechanism 5 and the front wall surface 81 provided on the front surface of the rear mechanism 8 are opposed to each other to form the upstream portion of the banknote transport passage 2. The upstream portion of the banknote transport passage 2 extends rearward with the banknote insertion port 41 as an upstream end, and gradually inclines upward at the rear side and is bent in the vertical direction and extended upward. . Then, at the upper end of the front mechanism 5, it is gradually inclined rearward and ends again, and is communicated with a downstream portion (not shown) of the bill conveyance path 2 inside the apparatus main body 9. In addition, the downstream part of the banknote conveyance path | route 2 is folded back back in the conveyance rubber rollers 91 and 91 ', is extended below, and terminates in the position which opposes the banknote storage part which is not shown in figure.

  Moreover, in order to regulate the banknote width direction, the banknote conveyance path 2 has a wall surface on both sides. In the upstream portion of the banknote transport passage 2, the banknote width direction is regulated by side wall surfaces 52, 52 ′ (see FIG. 5B) formed at the left and right ends of the rear wall surface 51 in the front mechanism 5.

  As in the conventional banknote handling apparatus, an inlet sensor (not shown) that detects insertion of a banknote is disposed in the vicinity of the banknote insertion port 41 in the banknote transport path 2, In the position, a plurality of unillustrated identification sensors for detecting the physical characteristics of the banknote are arranged in order to determine the authenticity of the banknote.

  In the front mechanism 5 and the rear mechanism 8, the components of the bill segmenting mechanism 3 that is conveyed while correcting the deviation of the bill will be described with reference to the drawings shown in FIGS.

  The front mechanism 5 includes a first roller 6 (variable tilting roller) capable of transporting banknotes in a straight direction and a left oblique direction, and a second roller (intermittently) for intermittently driving and transporting banknotes in a straight direction. (Conveying roller) 53, a shaft 54 which is a rotation shaft of these two rollers 6, 53, a drive roller 55 disposed downstream of the variable tilt roller 6 and in front of a conveying rubber roller 91 ′ which will be described later, A shaft 56 that is a rotation shaft of the drive roller 55, a timing belt 57 that connects the shaft 54 and the shaft 56 so as to synchronize the rotation of the variable tilt roller 6 and the intermittent conveyance roller 53 with the drive roller 55, and the drive roller 55 Urging means (rotating spring) 58 that presses the drive roller 55 backward so that the roller contacts the conveying rubber roller 91 ′ Comprising a tilt adjustment mechanism 7 for controlling the direction of inclination.

  On the other hand, the rear surface mechanism 8 is configured such that the spherical ball rollers 82 and 82 'facing the variable tilt roller 6 and the intermittent conveyance roller 53 and the ball rollers 82 and 82' are rotatable in all directions. And a ball roller receiving portion 83 for supporting the ball rollers 82 and 82 'from the rear and a ball roller receiving portion (not shown) (see FIGS. 7 and 8).

  Further, the apparatus main body 9 includes a biasing means (compression spring) 92 and a biasing means (compression spring) (not shown) for pressing the ball roller receiving part 43 and a ball roller receiving part (not shown) from the rear, and a bill conveyance path. 2 are disposed at the boundary between the upstream portion and the downstream portion, and a shaft 93 that is a rotation shaft of the transport rubber rollers 91 and 91 ′ and is directly driven from a drive source (not shown). Established. The transport rubber rollers 91 and 91 'are arranged as transport means for transporting banknotes in a conventional banknote processing apparatus.

  There is no dedicated drive source for the rotation of the rollers 6, 53, 55 of the front mechanism 5 described above. The drive roller 55 comes into contact with the opposite conveying rubber roller 91 ′ by the urging force of the rotation spring 58 and receives the driving force of the conveying rubber roller 91 ′. Accordingly, the variable tilt roller 6 and the intermittent conveyance roller 53 are rotated.

  The variable tilt mechanism 7 includes a drive means (solenoid) 71, a drive transmission member 72 that transmits the operation of the solenoid 71, a variable tilt roller 6 and a bracket 74 that regulates the tilt of the tilt variable roller 6 in the left-right direction. A roller portion 73.

  The configuration of the tilt variable roller unit 73 will be described with reference to the assembly process of the tilt variable roller 6 and the tilt variable roller unit 73 shown in FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 4A, a spherical body 61 having a hexagonal hole 61a into which the shaft 54 is inserted (see FIG. 4D) is formed at the center of the variable tilt roller 6. On the surface of the sphere 61, a pair of grooves 61b and 61b 'extending in parallel with the shaft 54 to be inserted into the hexagonal hole 61a is formed. The sphere 61 is fixed by the male cap 62 and the female cap 63 so that the sphere 61 is rotatable. At this time, the pair of rectangular holes 62a and 62a ′ formed in the male cap 62 and the rectangular holes 63a and 63a ′ formed in the female cap 63 are aligned on the grooves 61b and 61b ′ of the sphere 61. .

  Next, as shown in FIG. 4B, the circumferential direction of the male cap 62 and the female cap 63 is covered with a pair of semicircular frames 64 and 64 ′. At this time, the protrusions 64 a and 64 a ′ formed inside the semicircular frames 64 and 64 ′ are formed into rectangular holes 62 a and 62 a ′ of the male cap 62, rectangular holes 63 a and 63 a ′ of the female cap 63, and the sphere 61. It installs so that it may fit in groove | channels 61b and 61b '. At this time, the sphere 61 can be inclined within the male cap 62 and the female cap 63 within a range in which the protrusions 64a and 64a ′ of the semicircular frames 64 and 64 ′ move in the grooves 61b and 61b ′. .

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4C, a rubber ring 65 is fitted and fixed to the outside of the semicircular frames 64 and 64 ′ so that each component is not disassembled, and the variable tilt roller 6 is obtained.

  As shown in FIG. 4D, the variable tilt roller 6 is fixed by being fitted into a hexagonal cross-section attachment portion 54a in the vicinity of the left end of the shaft 54 (see FIG. 3 and the like).

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4 (e), a bracket 74 that restrains the left and right sides of the variable tilt roller 6 is attached to the variable tilt roller 6, thereby forming a variable tilt roller portion 73. The bracket 74 is formed with a protrusion 74a that is connected to a drive transmission member 72 described later.

  According to such a configuration, since the variable tilt roller 6 can rotate in the circumferential direction together with the shaft 54 and can tilt in the left and right direction together with the bracket 74, the variable tilt roller portion 73 tilts to the left. In the state where the banknote can be conveyed in the diagonally left direction, the banknote can be conveyed in the perpendicular direction in the state where the tilt variable roller portion 73 stands upright.

  The tilt angle of the tilt variable roller portion 73 is controlled by a solenoid 71 as shown in FIGS. That is, when the solenoid 71 shown in FIG. 5 is ON, the variable tilt roller 73 inclines to the left, and when the solenoid 71 shown in FIG. 6 is OFF, the variable roller 73 faces the straight direction. I have to.

  The solenoid 71 and the variable tilt roller unit 73 are connected by a drive transmission member 72. The drive transmission member 72 is connected to the right end of the solenoid 71 so that the drive transmission member 72 slides left and right when the solenoid 71 is turned on and off. A long hole 72a with which the portion 74a is engaged is formed.

  Therefore, in the state where the solenoid 71 shown in FIG. 5 is ON, the drive transmission member 72 moves to the left, and the long hole 72a of the drive transmission member 72 pulls the protrusion 74a of the bracket 74 to the left. When the variable tilting roller portion 73 is tilted to the left and the solenoid 71 shown in FIG. 6 is OFF, the drive transmission member 72 moves to the right, and the elongated hole 72a of the drive transmission member 72 is a protrusion of the bracket 74. By pulling the portion 74a to the right, the tilt variable roller portion 73 becomes upright.

  Note that the ball roller 82 ′ facing the variable tilt roller 6 (see FIG. 3 etc.) is free to rotate in all directions, so that the variable tilt roller 6 rotates at any angle. However, the tilt variable roller 6 and the ball roller 82 ′ can cooperate to hold the banknote, and the banknote can be conveyed in the rotation direction of the tilt variable roller 6.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the intermittent conveyance roller 53 is formed so that a cross section orthogonal to the shaft 54 has a substantially teardrop shape, and the convex portion 53 a of the intermittent conveyance roller 53 is located rearward. At this time, it is arranged so that a bill conveying force is generated in contact with the ball roller 82, and no bill conveying force is generated without contact at other times.

  In addition, on the rear wall surface 51 of the front mechanism 5, the intermittent conveyance roller 53 is provided on the left and right sides rearward, that is, on the surface of the banknote transport passage 2, extending in the banknote transport direction and projecting on the surface of the banknote transport passage 2. Are formed (protruded) convex portions 51a and 51a '.

  Note that the convex portions 51 a and 51 a ′ protrude from the intermittent conveyance roller 53 to the inside of the banknote conveyance path 2 in a state where the convex portion 53 a of the intermittent conveyance roller 53 does not face the ball roller 82, and the intermittent conveyance roller 53. In a state where the convex portion 53 a faces the ball roller 82, the convex portion 53 a is configured not to protrude into the passage more than the intermittent conveyance roller 53.

  Further, in a state where the convex portion 53 a of the intermittent conveyance roller 53 does not face the ball roller 82, the convex portions 51 a and 51 a ′ are in contact with the ball roller 82.

  When the convex portion 53a of the intermittent conveyance roller 53 is not opposed to the ball roller 82, the intermittent conveyance roller 53 and the ball roller 82 are not in contact with each other, so that no banknote conveyance force is generated. At this time, since the ball roller 82 is pressed forward (upward in FIG. 8B) by the compression spring 92, the banknote in the banknote transport path 2 is sandwiched between the convex portions 51a and 51a ′ and the ball roller 82. As a result, a resistance force to the continuous conveying force in the left oblique direction by the variable tilt roller 6 is received.

  When the convex portion 53a of the intermittent conveyance roller 53 is opposed to the ball roller 82, the convex portion 53a of the intermittent conveyance roller 53 protrudes further into the passage than the convex portions 51a and 51a ′. The banknote in the passage 2 is nipped between the intermittent conveyance roller 53 and the ball roller 82 and conveyed in the straight direction without receiving resistance from the convex portions 51a and 51a ′.

  In this way, the variable tilt roller 6 has a continuous leftward conveyance force, and the intermittent conveyance roller 53 and the convex portions 51a and 51a ′ have a conveyance force or a resistance force in the intermittent straight direction. Have

  In the banknote shifting mechanism 3 configured as described above, an operation when the banknote M is shifted to the side wall surface 52 ′ will be described with reference to conceptual diagrams shown in FIGS. 9 and 10.

  When the banknote M is inserted with the left corner leading, as shown in FIG. 9, the left side of the front edge of the banknote M is first sandwiched between the tilt variable roller 6 and the ball roller 82 ′ (see FIG. 1 and the like) Carrying force in the diagonally left direction works. At this time, since the left edge of the banknote M abuts on the front end (lower end in FIG. 9) of the side wall surface 52 ', the banknote M is guided into the apparatus while rotating counterclockwise.

  When the right side of the leading edge of the banknote M reaches the intermittent conveyance roller 53, the right side of the banknote M is intermittently guided in the straight direction by the intermittent conveyance roller 53 and the ball roller 82 (see FIG. 1 and the like). During this time, the banknote M continues to rotate counterclockwise. When the left edge of the banknote M comes into contact with the left side wall surface 52 ′ and becomes parallel to the traveling direction, the banknote M is guided straight by the side wall surface 52 ′. It becomes.

  On the other hand, when the banknote is inserted at the right-angle leading position, as shown in FIG. 10, the right side of the front edge of the banknote M is first sandwiched between the intermittent transport roller 53 and the ball roller 82, and intermittently goes straight. Guided inside. When the left side of the front edge of the banknote M reaches the variable tilt roller 6, the left side of the banknote M is sandwiched between the variable tilt roller 6 and the ball roller 82 ', and a conveying force is applied in the diagonally left direction.

  At this time, while the convex portion 53a (see FIG. 7 and the like) of the intermittent conveyance roller 53 is not in contact with the ball roller 82, the right side of the bill is the convex portions 51a and 51a ′ (see FIG. 7 and the like) and the ball roller 82. Since the banknote M is rotated in the clockwise direction, the left corner is preceded, and thereafter, the same as the case where the banknote M is inserted with the left corner ahead is inserted. Shows behavior.

  When the banknote M is inserted straight, the left corner of the banknote M rotates clockwise until the left edge of the banknote M comes into contact with the front end of the side wall surface 52 ', and thereafter the left corner precedes. It shows the same behavior as when inserted.

A series of banknote receiving operations in the banknote handling apparatus 1 configured as described above will be described.
In the standby state, as shown in FIG. 6, the solenoid 71 is in the OFF state, and the tilt variable roller unit 73 is directed in the straight traveling direction.

  When the banknote M is inserted from the banknote insertion port 41, an unillustrated entrance sensor detects the insertion of the banknote M. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the solenoid 71 is turned on, the variable tilt mechanism 7 is driven, and the protrusion 74 a of the bracket 74 is pulled to the left via the drive transmission member 72, so that the variable tilt roller section. 73 tilts to the left. At the same time, a bill conveying means (not shown) is driven to guide the inserted bill M into the apparatus.

  As described above, the banknote M guided to the inside of the apparatus has its left edge of the banknote M positioned on the side wall surface 52 ′ by the banknote shifting mechanism 3 to correct the deviation (see FIGS. 9 and 10). ). The correction of the deviation of the banknote M needs to be completed before the banknote M reaches an identification sensor (not shown). The correction of the deviation of the banknote M is preferably completed in the vicinity of about half of the banknote M passing through the tilt variable roller 6.

  When the correction of the deviation of the banknote M is completed, as shown in FIG. 6, the solenoid 71 is turned off, and the tilt of the tilt variable roller unit 73 is restored. And the authenticity of the banknote M is discriminate | determined when the identification sensor which is not shown in figure scans the predetermined position of the banknote M, and detects the physical characteristic of the banknote M.

  When a refund instruction is issued after the banknote M is determined to be a genuine note, or when the banknote M is determined to be a fake ticket, the bill is returned to the bill insertion slot 41 by reversing the bill transport means (not shown). At this time, since the variable tilt roller 6 is directed in the straight direction, the reverse movement of the banknote M can be performed smoothly.

  When a bill collection command is generated after the banknote M is determined to be a genuine note, the banknote M is transported to the downstream end of the banknote transport passage 2 and is not shown by a banknote storage means (not shown). Aligned loading and storage.

  As described above in detail in the embodiment, the banknote handling apparatus of the present invention has the first roller having intermittent conveying force and resistance force in the straight traveling direction and the conveying force in the left oblique direction. By providing a second roller, when a bill is inserted with the left corner leading, it rotates counterclockwise and is shifted along the left side wall surface, and when a bill is inserted with the right corner leading, the clock The left side wall surface of the banknote does not collide with the left wall surface of the banknote conveyance path, even when the banknote is inserted with any deviation, because it is gradually shifted to the left side wall surface while rotating in the direction. It is possible to shift the edge so that the edge is along the left wall surface of the bill conveyance passage.

  In the above-described embodiment, the variable tilt roller 6 and the intermittent conveyance roller 53 are arranged side by side on one shaft 54, but the variable tilt roller 6 is disposed downstream of the intermittent conveyance roller 53. You may make it do.

  In addition, the variable tilt roller 6 is arranged on the left side, and the bill is aligned so that the left edge of the bill is along the left side wall surface 52 'of the bill transport passage 2, but each side is reversed so that the left and right are reversed. You may make it the structure which arrange | positions a component and shifts to the right side.
