Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to a method of handling a bundle of paper sheets in a bill handling machine or the like which supports bills, forms, cards and other paper sheets in a bundle in an upright position and transfers them to a predetermined position. It relates to a transport device.

(Conventional technology) In general, this type of transport device transports a sheet bundle to a predetermined position while holding a sheet bundle from the front and rear by an arm-shaped front support and a rear support, and after transferring the bundle to the next processing step, the front support and the rear support. Is returned to the original home position, and the next sheet bundle is transported again. The sheet bundle sent out by the rear and the front support is received at a target position by the backup means. Conventionally, this back-up means rotates and undulates on a guide in an arc trajectory, allows the transport of the sheet bundle in the laid state, and stands up at the same time as the rear support retreats at the target position to catch the back surface. It has a structure.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In this kind of sheet bundle moving device, the delivery between the rear and the front support which sent out the sheet bundle and the means for receiving and holding the sheet bundle at the target position (backup means). Is a problem. In other words, in order to transfer the sheet bundle in an orderly manner without disturbing the alignment, the rear support on the back side where the sheet bundle is conveyed and the backup means for receiving the back of the sheet bundle at the target position can be smoothly and quickly changed. Must be done.

However, in the conventional apparatus, as described above, the backup means rotates on an arc locus on the guide and undulates, allowing the sheet bundle to pass in the laid state, and at the same time as the rear support retreating at the target position. Since it is a structure that stands up and receives the back surface, it takes time from when the rear support retreats to when the backup unit receives the back surface of the paper sheet, during which the bundle of paper sheets may fall down.

Therefore, it is conceivable that the rear support is retracted after both mechanisms support the rear of the sheet bundle at the same time by using a part of the back of the sheet as a support for the rear support and the other part as a support for the backup means. However, even in this case, it is more reliable to support the entire sheet bundle as much as possible in order to securely support the sheet bundle and transport it or catch it at the target position. It is necessary that the undulating movement of the means is smooth.

In view of the above, in view of the above, the back-up means supporting the back surface of the sheet bundle at the target position for transporting the sheet bundle rises from the posture of lying down on the transport guide and guiding the transport of the sheet bundle, and raising the rear surface thereof. It is an object of the present invention to provide a sheet bundle conveying device which can quickly and smoothly shift to a supporting posture, and can surely transfer a sheet bundle to a target position while standing.

(Means for Solving the Problems) A sheet bundle transport device according to the present invention transfers a sheet bundle to a target position while holding the sheet bundle in a standing state with a rear support and a front support from front and rear. When the back side of the bundle in the transport direction is supported by the backup plate, the rear support and the backup plate are alternated by moving the rear support back and forth on the transport guide and allowing the backup plate to rise and fall on the transport guide. As the back-and-forth of the backup plate advances from the standing position at the leading end in the transport direction to the rear in the transport direction, it falls down on the transport guide in a substantially semi-elliptical trajectory so that the transport sheet bundle is guided on the back of the backup plate. It was done.

(Operation) In the present invention, when a sheet is conveyed by the front and rear supports, the back surface of the backup plate in the lying posture receives the entire surface of the sheet bundle together with the conveyance guide, and guides the sheet bundle to the target position. At this stage, the backup plate is raised while moving forward in the transport direction along a semi-elliptical trajectory to support the back side of the sheet, and the rear support retreats and comes out of the sheet bundle around the same time. In such a process, the backup plate rotates while its lower end supporting portion moves in the same direction as the transport direction, and the leading end portion (sheet leaf engaging portion) rises up in a semi-elliptical locus, as if following the bill to be transported from behind. It will support and perform a quick undulating movement.

(Example) Next, an example in which the present invention is applied to an automatic bill handling apparatus (hereinafter referred to as ATM) will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an overall side view of the ATM, showing a customer service section 3, a discriminating section 5, a front / back aligning section 7, a recycling stacker.
It consists of 9,11, forgotten reject box 13, and reconciliation and replenishment safe 15, and it is possible to pay (refund) and accept (deposit) banknotes at the customer service port 4, and the deposited banknotes This is an example of a so-called recycle ATM that pays by recycling.

The above components are connected so that the banknotes are circulated on the transport path as shown in the figure.
When the depositor inserts a card at the customer service port 4 and instructs the amount to be withdrawn, a central processing unit (not shown) accepts the card and pays out the AT.
Instruct M to pay. Receiving this instruction signal, the banknotes P are separated from the recycle stackers 9, 11 prepared for each denomination by the separating means 8, 10 and fed out.
It leads to the discrimination section 5 through 9. The discrimination unit 5 performs the counting of the number of payouts, the discrimination of the authenticity of the bill and the discrimination of the banknote, and the discrimination of the multiple sheets (double feed). Reject box 13 from route 59
Housed in The genuine bill is stored in the sorting unit 6 via the paths 21, 23, 31 and when all the bills to be paid have been prepared, they are conveyed in a block to the customer service port 4, and the depositor takes out the bill and ends the transaction. ing.

Next, the deposit system that accepts banknotes, when the depositor sets the banknotes in a bundle in the customer service port 4, the take-in / separation unit 41 puts them into one.
The sheets are separated and sent to the path 17, sent to the discriminating section 5 via the path 19, and the discriminating section 5 performs authenticity discrimination, unfit bill discrimination, and multiple (multi-feed) discrimination. , Is sent from the route 31 to the sorting unit 6 and temporarily stocked, and then returned to the depositor from the customer service opening 4. In addition, the genuine note is the identification unit 5
Performs denomination discrimination, denomination count, and front / back discrimination, and the front-facing ticket from route 25 via routes 21 and 23 is route 27
Then, the back-facing ticket is guided to the route 29 and stored in the front-back aligning section 7.

The banknote whose front and back are aligned by the separating means 71 from the front and back alignment unit 7 is 1
Separated sheets are fed out one by one, sent to the discriminating section 5 again via the paths 33 and 19, and discriminated in the same manner as described above, and the path 21 to the path 35
, And stored in the recycle stackers 9 and 11 from the paths 43 and 45 via the paths 47 and 49 according to the denomination.

Thus, the banknotes are in the customer service opening 4 and the recycling stacker 9,11
Deposits and withdrawals will be carried out between the two, but when replenishing or removing banknotes from / to the recycle stackers 9,11, replenishment is required when directly withdrawing from / to the stackers 9,11. Not only must the number of sheets or the number of sheets taken out be confirmed, but also troublesome and precise work such as confirmation of unfit bills, confirmation of front and back sides, and confirmation of denominations is inevitable. Therefore, in the illustrated one, a safe 15 is provided separately from the recycle stackers 9 and 11, and when bills are inserted into the safe 15, they are separated one by one by the separating means 16 attached to the safe and a path 55 is provided.
To the discriminating unit 5 from the route 19, and if the banknote is a damaged one, the route is sent from the above-mentioned routes 21 and 35 to the route 59 and stored in the reject box 13. Then, the genuine bill is sent from the routes 21, 23, 25 to the front ticket to the route 27, and the back ticket is sent to the route 29, and the front and back aligning unit 7 aligns the front and back. ,
After passing through 43 and 45, it is stored in the recycle stackers 9 and 11 of the denomination from the route 47 or 49.

When collecting bills from the recycle stackers 9, 11 to the safe 15, the bills separated and fed one by one from each stacker 9, 11 are sent from the path 51 or 53 to the path 19, and counted by the discrimination unit 5 by denomination. Then, the data is sent from the routes 21 and 35 to the routes 57 and 61 and stored in the safe 15. Incidentally, any of the separating means described above accommodates the bills in an upright state, sequentially pulls out the bills by a kick roller provided on the front face while pushing the back face, and sends the bills to a pair of rollers pressed against each other,
The roller pair is separated one by one by a stationary roller and a roller rotating in the sheet feeding direction.

Hereinafter, the configuration of each unit will be briefly described. First, the customer service section 3 is composed of a box 60 for a depositor to put in and take out bills, its opening / closing lid (shutter 4a), a take-in / separation section 41, and an aligning section 6. When bills are put into the box in a bundle, the paper The leaf bundle is taken in and moved to the separation unit 41, where the leaves are separated one by one and sent to the discrimination unit 5. The bills fed from the recycle stackers 9 and 11 are accumulated in the sorting unit 6 via the discrimination unit 5. The banknotes accumulated in the alignment section 6 rise in an elevator shape and are shifted to the box 60 so that the depositor can take out the banknotes from the customer service opening 4.

In the front / back aligning unit 7, the banknotes that have been discriminated from the front / back by the discriminating unit 5 are branched into the front path 27 and the back path 29 along the path 25 and are sent to the box-shaped stacking unit 72 by the discharge rollers 73 and 74. 1
When all of the transaction tickets are accumulated, they are separated by the separating means 71 and fed out from the path 33.

The discriminating unit 5 discriminates the authenticity, front and back, denomination, denomination, unsuccessful bill, and double feed (multiple sheets) of the banknote, counts the number of each denomination at the same time, transmits information to the central processing unit, The control information of each unit is transmitted.

The recycling stackers 9, 11 are prepared for each denomination, and the one shown in the figure is a 1,000 yen ticket and a 10,000 yen ticket as a denomination, and a 5,000 yen ticket is accepted as a deposit ticket. Housed directly in safe 15. For this reason, two recycle stackers 9, 11 are prepared in the same structure, and a box-shaped storage frame for storing banknotes is provided with feeding / separating means 8 and 10 at one end and taking-in means 65 and 66 at the other end. There are provided backup means 67, 68 for pressing bills on the separating means 8, 10 side and support means 69, 70 for holding bills on the taking-in means 65, 66 side, and bills for payment in this recycling stacker. The banknotes are stored and managed separately from left and right, and when the bills on the payment side (stock on the left side in FIG. 1) run out, the bills are transferred from the bills on the receipt side (stock on the right side in FIG. 1). Therefore, when an error occurs due to a mechanical trouble or the like, checking the recycle stacker allows the bill accepted immediately before that to be discriminated.

The forgotten reject box 13 stores the banknote identified as a damaged paper in the discriminating unit 5 and simultaneously detects the banknote that the depositor has forgotten into the customer service port 4 and returns the banknote through the discriminating unit 5. I have. In this box, bills are stored separately for unfit bills and forgotten bills.

The safe 15 performs the above-mentioned functions, that is, scrutiny at the time of bill replenishment and collection (amount counting, front / back alignment, unfit bill finding, denomination classification) and, at the same time, 5,000 removed from the bill to be paid.
Holds a 0 yen ticket. Further, when the bills to be paid to the recycle stackers 9 and 11 are not enough, they are automatically replenished. When the deposit bills are filled in the recycle stackers 9 and 11, they are stored in the safe as overflow stackers. ing. The safe 15 also stores replenished bills in the left stock and collected bills in the right stock as in the case of the recycle stacker.

The case where the present invention is applied to such an apparatus will be described. In the illustrated embodiment, the recycle stacker 9 (the stacker 11 also has the same structure and the description is omitted) and deposits and replenishes bills at the right end thereof as described above. In this structure, the banknotes to be dispensed are stored at the left end, and when the dispensing side becomes insufficient, the banknotes are conveyed in blocks from the right side stock and replenished.

As shown in FIG. 2, the recycle stacker 9 has an outlet 101 at a front end of a box-shaped storage frame 100 for storing bills in an upright position and an inlet 102 at a rear end thereof.
The separating means 8 described with reference to FIG.

The separated bills are fed to the paper feed roller 104.
The pinch roller 106 pulls out the outlet 101 toward the outlet 101.

A take-in roller 65 composed of an impeller 107 is provided at an inlet 102 on the rear end side, and bills from a path 47 in FIG.
Each is arranged so as to be delivered to the impeller 107 at 115. The impeller 107 is composed of a plurality of flexible blades radiated and arranged in a spiral shape, which is generally known, and rotates while rotating while holding the bill between the respective blades and discharges the bill at a predetermined position. The next wing is sent out. On the outlet 101 side, the sheet bundle is sandwiched and supported between the kick roller 103 by the backup plate 108 pressed from the back thereof, and the front side facing the outlet 101 on the inlet 102 side is a front support 109 (described above). Support means), and the back surface is supported by a locking stopper 110, and is stored separately. Inlet 10
In order to replenish the bills to be billed by carrying the bills stored on the second side to the outlet 101 side in a block manner, the rear support 111 (No. 5)
The two supports 111 and 109 are configured to be able to move left and right so that the bill is transported between the front support 109 and the front support 109. Hereinafter, the structure of block conveyance will be described in detail.

Structure of Backup Plate As shown in FIG. 2, the backup plate 108 having a shape suitable for pressing and supporting the banknote bundle in the upright state from the back side includes:
As shown in FIG. 3, a shaft 123
, And can be moved left and right along a bottom guide plate 120 that forms a bill storage frame 100. The backup plate 108 is constantly urged by a spring 121 so as to press the bill against the kick roller 103 on the side of the outlet 101 (left side in FIG. 3), and is provided on a timing belt 122 connected to the motor M. The backup plate 108 is engaged so as to simultaneously move the backup plate 108 against the urging spring 121 when the claw 122a travels toward the inflow port 102 (the right side in FIG. 3). The fixed engaging pawl 122a to the timing belt 122 bills only in the operation of the third the plate 108 at the standby position of the left end of Fig range of storage area l ₁ dispensing the bill away from the back-up plate 108 is biased springs 121 Press. That this backup plate 108 is advanced by a biasing spring 121 in an upright state to back up the bills in a range of regions illustrated l _1, the timing belt 122
Retracted by, but are to be latent below the bottom guide plate 120 when retracted beyond this region l _1. That is, the block 123 slidably fitted to the shaft stem 112.
In addition, a backup plate 108 is supported rotatably around a shaft 124, and a sector gear 125 supported on the block 123 and a pinion 126 fixed to the base end of the plate 108 are engaged with each other. The interlocking rack 127 is l ₁
And is fixed to the frame at a position shown in FIG.

A spring 128 is provided between the block 123 and the plate 108 to constantly urge the plate in the upright direction. When the sector gear 125 meshes with the rack 127, the sector gear rotates clockwise in FIG. Pinion 126 rotates counterclockwise and pivots plate 108 against spring 128
Swing counterclockwise around 124 to make it fall down. In this state, the back surface 108a of the backup plate 108 is flush with the bottom guide plate 120 and serves as a guide for transporting the bills described later.

Structure of Front Support In FIG. 2, the front support 109 for storing the deposited bill at the right end has a structure as shown in FIG. The banknotes conveyed by the endless belt 115 from the path 47 described in FIG. 1 are intruded and held between the strips of the impeller 107 and sent until they hit the bottom guide plate 120 of the storage frame 100, and are placed on this guide plate. The next blade pushes it forward while standing up, but as the amount of stored bills increases, the front support 109, which supports the front row of bills, also needs to gradually advance (step forward) and simultaneously It is necessary to shift the transfer to the outlet 101 side. Therefore, the illustrated front support 109 has an axial stem 129.
(Figure 5)
The front support 109 is a two-armed member that is separated by a first lower support 109a on the lower side and a second upper support 109b on the upper side to support the top and bottom of the banknote bundle. It is composed. The first and second front supports 109a and 109b have their base ends pivotally supported on a carriage 130 by a shaft 131. The front and upper sides of the bill are held in contact with each other, and the bill is rotated upward to be separated from the bill. It has become.

The first support 109a is provided with a bill holding lever 132 extending left and right separated from the left and right arms, and supports the bill in contact with the left and right sides of the bill. In the drawing, a roller 132a that rolls along the bill surface is loosely fitted to the lever, and a hanging piece 132b that supports the lower end of the bill is loosely fitted to the lever 132 in the same manner. A spring 133 for holding the posture shown in FIG. 4 is hung on the hanging piece 132b to prevent the lower end of the bill from bending. 133b is a projection that also serves to lock the spring 133.

On the other hand, the second support 109b is provided with levers 134 on the left and right arm portions similarly to the first support, and a roller 135 composed of a shaft collar that can freely roll along the bill surface is loosely fitted on this lever. is there.

Restriction of Front Support The front support 109 having the above structure holds the bills sent from the path 47 (FIG. 1, already described) between l 2 in FIG. ₂ in an upright state, and holds the bills between l _{3 in} FIG. blocking transport, delivery to the backup plate 108 described above between l _1, to hold the bills subsequently come then flows and returns to the right end. Therefore front support 109 is in between illustrated l ₂ and stepping motion in response to bill the amount of accumulation, is between l ₃ supports the bill with backup plate 108 to be described later in a standing state block transport, between the l ₁ Backup plate detached from banknote
Passing to 108, to hold the bills come then flows between l ₂ and returns to the right end portion again. Therefore front support 109
The return of the fifth spring 136 for urging the right end side of the home position shown in FIG., A ratchet locking mechanism 137a to retain its position while stepping between l _2, the biasing spring 136 between l ₁ Ratchet lock mechanism that holds the position to replace the rear support 111 described below and the backup plate 108 described above, eliminating the force
And 137b, a front support 109 between l ₁ are provided with a release means 138 to disengage from the front row of the bill (Figure 4).

The biasing spring 136 shown in FIG. 5 has one end fixed to the carriage 130 of the front support 109 and the other end fixed to a driving pulley 131 of a rear support 111 described later. Therefore, the front support 109 is always urged integrally with the carriage 130 to the home position at the right end by the urging spring 136.
31 spring 136 having a base end portion is wound in becomes that the entire length with the rotation of the pulley so that substantially uniform tension in the section illustrated l ₃ acts to stretch. The ratchet wheel 13 is provided on the carriage 130 of the front support 109.
9 and ratchet pawl 140 are attached, this wheel 13
9 Yes rack 141 that meshes is provided in the section of the l ₂ and l _1, it is not provided in the region of the section l _3. In FIG. 5, the ratchet mechanism allows the left rotation (counterclockwise) but does not permit the right rotation, and holds the position against the returning force of the urging spring 136 (the right rotation of the ratchet wheel). It is configured. Note that the illustrated rack 141 can be disengaged from the ratchet wheel 139 by the manual lever 142 as shown by a chain line. This is because when the front support 109 is moved to the left due to a paper jam or the like, it is locked in that position and cannot be returned to the home position at the right end. This is to allow the spring 136 to return.

On the other hand, a pin 143 protrudes from the first front support 109a as shown in FIGS.
The cam plate 144 is fixed to the frame side, and the pin is slid on the upper surface of the cam plate 144 to return, and is regulated to slide forward on the lower surface. Note cam plate 144 is the l ₃
Is provided in the section. Therefore, the front support 109
Although it is rotatable upward around the shaft 131, when the pin 143 engages with the lower surface of the cam plate 144 and moves forward, it is prevented from rotating upward and moves while supporting the front face of the banknote. After the bill is moved to the left end, the pin 143 is released from the restraint of the cam plate 144 and is allowed to move upward. At the left end, there is a releasing means 138 connected to the rotary solenoid 145. When the releasing means 138 is operated from the state shown in FIG. 6C to the state shown in FIG. Is lifted to a position along the upper surface of the cam plate 144. At this time, the first front support 109a is gradually engaged with the second support so as to lift the second front support 109b because the pin 143 implanted therein is lifted by the releasing means 138, and then the second front support 109b is lifted. A mating projection 133b is provided on the first support 109a.

Further, when the first and second supports 109a and 109b are lifted upward, the pin 143 causes the ratchet pawl 140 to move to the wheel 139.
The first and second supports 109a and 109b start moving in the return direction by the action of the biasing spring 136, and
The first and second front supports 109a and 109b are lifted upward and return to the state in which the first and second front supports 109a and 109b are lifted upward. When the front support returns to the home position on the right end, the pin 143 is disengaged from the upper surface of the cam plate 144 and the first and second front supports are moved by their own weight.
109a and 109b return to the state shown in FIG.

Rear support structure Rear support 111 that conveys the banknote bundle to a predetermined position while restraining the bill bundle from front and rear together with front support 109 having the above structure.
As shown in FIG. 5, a pair is provided on the left and right sides of the bundle of paper sheets, and are slidably fitted to the stems 150 and 151 arranged in the transport direction, respectively, and are fixed to timing belts 152 and 153 which run in parallel with the stems 150 and 151. And this belt 1
52, 153 are hung on the same drive shaft 154,
It is connected to. When the drive shaft 154 rotates clockwise, it travels to the left in the figure to convey the sheet bundle, and conversely, when it rotates counterclockwise, it returns to the home position on the right.

Description of Operation As described above with reference to FIG. 1, between the recycle stackers 9, 11 and the customer service port 4, the processing of depositing and dispensing bills is repeated via the discriminating unit 5,
The recycle stackers 9 and 11 store the refund banknote bundle and the deposited banknotes for each of the left and right blocks. When the money is collected in the safe 15, the banknotes are conveyed from the right banknote banknote block toward the refund outlet 101 on the left side. The transfer instruction is such that the discrimination unit 5 counts outgoing and incoming bills by denomination, manages the stored bills in the central processing unit, and instructs the ATM to the ATM. In response to this instruction, the forward / reverse rotation motor 155 for driving the rear support 111 rotates the drive shaft 154 to the right in FIG. 5 in the feeding direction. Then, the rear support travels to the left in FIG. 2, pushes down the stopper 110, abuts against the back of the sheet bundle, and pushes it forward. Then, the front support 109 is similarly pushed to the left and is conveyed while sandwiching and supporting the sheet bundle. When the sheet bundle reaches a predetermined position in contact with the kick roller 103, the limit switch PR14 of the front support 109 detects this, stops the motor 155, and simultaneously activates the rotary solenoid 145, thereby turning the release means 138 clockwise in FIG. Rotate. Then, the pin 143 of the front support 109 is lifted up, and the support 109 is flipped up around the shaft 131 and detaches from the front row of the sheet bundle. Thereafter, when the forward / reverse rotation motor 155 is rotated in the reverse direction, the rear support 111 starts returning to the home position, and the pin 143 of the front support 109 is
The rider moves upward and returns to the home position by the biasing force of the spring 136.

In the above-described configuration, the present invention has a structure in which the rear support 111 that supports the rear surface in the transport direction of the sheet bundle advances and retreats in the transport direction along the transport guide (the bottom guide plate 120 in the embodiment). Then, a backup plate 10 supporting the back side of the paper sheet prepared at the transfer destination position (the left end in FIG. 2).
8 is provided on the bottom guide plate 120 so as to be able to undulate. In the illustrated embodiment, it is supported rotatably about a shaft 124. Further, the back-and-forth of the backup plate 108 is lowered on the bottom guide plate 120 by drawing a substantially semi-elliptical locus (indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 3) as the backup plate 108 moves backward from the upright position (the left end in FIG. 3) in the conveyance direction toward the rear in the conveyance direction. , This backup plate 108
Is designed to guide the transported sheet bundle on the back surface 108a of the sheet.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, when a sheet bundle is conveyed so as to be pushed out by the rear support and the back in the conveying direction is received and supported by the backup plate at the target position,
First, the rear support moves along the transport guide (bottom guide plate) in the forward and backward directions in the transport direction, so that the transport and return movements can be performed at high speed. Also, at the destination position, the backup plate falls down on the transport guide and reliably guides the sheet bundle at the back, and after reaching the target position, stands up while drawing a semi-elliptical locus in the transport direction. Since the back surface is received, the erecting operation of the backup plate can be started immediately before the sheet bundle reaches the target position, and there is an effect that the sheet bundle can be conveyed quickly without disturbing the alignment of the sheet bundle.
