Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a paper capable of preventing the occurrence of bending of banknotes or the like when accumulating banknotes or the like inserted into the inside of a vending machine or the like. Leaf deposition equipment.

(Prior Art) As a conventional stacking device having a mechanism for automatically accepting and dispensing paper sheets such as bills and tickets such as a vending machine, a money changer, a ticket vending machine, etc. There is a deposition apparatus as shown in a) to (e).

This deposition apparatus includes a deposition chamber 1 and a pair of guides 2 supported in the deposition chamber 1 so as to be vertically movable.
Between the pair of guides 2, a guide 2 and a detaching member 3 that can move up and down independently of each other are formed.

FIG. 2 (a) shows a state in which the guide 2 and the detaching member 3 are in the standby position, and bills 5a are fed into the guide 2 in the standby position from a direction perpendicular to the drawing (FIG. 2 (b)). ). In this way, the guide 2 and the detaching member 3 are lowered toward the bottom portion 4 while holding both ends of the bill 5a by the guide 2. The guide 2 stops descending when it comes into contact with the bottom 4 or the bills 5 on the bottom, while the separating member 3 further descends and bills 5a held by the guide 2
The central part of the is pressed downward to separate it on the bottom. At this time, the guide 2 rises as shown in (b) in synchronization with the lowering of the separating member 3. Thus, as shown in (e), the stacking of banknotes is completed.

However, in this type of stacking device, when the banknotes 5a are separated from the guide 2, both ends of the banknotes 5a are often curled or bent upward by the guide 2, and the succeeding banknotes are kept in this state. When the above materials are stacked on the upper surface, there is a possibility that the deposition may be performed with the ends folded. In addition, a folded bill or the like may cause a jam when the bill is taken out by a friction roller or the like (not shown).

3 (a), (b) and (c) show another conventional example, in which the guide 2 fixed in the deposition chamber 1 and the guide 2 are fixed.
A detaching member 3 which is supported to be vertically movable in the central part of
These are located below these and are composed of a deposition table 9 biased upward by a spring 8.

The banknotes 5a that have entered the fixed guide 2 are removed by the detachment member 3
It is pushed down by and is clamped and held between the deposition table 9 and the guide 2. At the lower part of the stacking table 9, a friction roller or the like (not shown) for taking out the stacked banknotes and the like one by one from the lowermost layer and sending them out for change or for exchange is disposed.

However, in such a type in which the stacking table 9 moves up and down, the level of banknote stacking is not constant and fluctuates. For example, when sending out stacked banknotes, or when sending out banknotes for exchange, the banknotes are fed out. The positional relationship with the friction roller and the like was not constant, which was extremely inconvenient. In other words, there is a disadvantage that the structure of the take-out mechanism such as the friction roller becomes complicated.

(Object of the Invention) The present invention has been made in view of the above, and the level of accumulated banknotes and the like is always constant, and further, the banknotes are transferred onto the stacking table or onto the already stacked paper sheets on the stacking table. It is an object of the present invention to provide a paper sheet stacking device which does not cause curling or bending when being folded.

(Summary of the Invention) In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a guide that is vertically movable with respect to a fixed upper surface of a deposition table and that has holding portions at both ends, and that the guide is provided at a central portion of the guide. The pressing plate is configured to be independently movable up and down, and the pressing plate is configured to be engageable with and disengageable from the holding portion of the guide, and the pressing plate is for waiting the guide and the pressing plate. When it is rising, it is left on the stacking table or on the already stacked sheets on the stacking table, while the pushing plate presses the central part of the newly stacked sheet on the stacking table or When it is pressed onto the above-mentioned accumulated paper sheets, it is engaged and held by the holding portion of the guide, and once raised, then descends and is placed on the end portion of the new paper sheet and then from the holding portion. Characterized by being removed.

(Example) Hereinafter, the paper sheet deposition apparatus of the present invention will be described in detail.

FIGS. 1 (a) to 1 (e) are explanatory views showing a configuration and an operation sequence of an embodiment of the present invention, in which a deposition chamber 21 surrounded by a wall 20 has a fixed type deposition table 22 which does not move up and down. , Deposition platform
22 A guide 23 that is supported so that it can move up and down
Push-in plate 24 that can be raised and lowered independently of 23 and guide 23
A pair of holding plates (26) are attached to the lower surfaces of the holding portions (25) at both ends. Reference numeral 30 is a feed roller for taking out the lowermost banknotes and the like among the banknotes and the like stacked on the stacking table 22, and 31 is a sending roller for sending out the lowermost banknotes and the like taken out by the feed roller 30.

The guide 23 is a holding portion that holds both ends of the bill 33 etc. inside.
25 and a connecting piece 25a that connects the holding portions 25. The push-in plate 24 is arranged below the connecting piece 25a.

Each holding plate 26 is a detaching means (engaging / releasing means) not shown.
Is attached to and detached from (attached to and detached from) the lower surface of the holding portion 25. The holding plate 26 can prevent both ends of a newly deposited banknote or the like (already deposited paper sheets) on the stacking table 22 or on the stacking table 22 from being curled. It has a certain weight.

In the above configuration, at the standby position shown in FIG. 1 (a), both the guide 23 and the pushing plate 24 are stopped at the raised position, and the holding plate 26 is placed on both ends of a bill or the like on the stacking table 22. It is placed.

In this state, when a bill 33 or the like enters into each holding portion 25 of the guide 23, the guide 23 and the pushing plate 24 start descent synchronously, and the guide 23 holds the holding portion 25 as shown in (b). Stops when the lower surface comes in contact with the holding plate 26, but the pushing plate 24
Pushes down the central portion of the held bills 33 or the like until they come into contact with the bills or the like accumulated on the table 22 (pre-deposited paper sheets) or the table.

Next, only the guide 23 is once raised with the pressing plate 26 sucked ((c)) and then lowered again ((d)). By this operation, both ends of the new bill or the like 33 that has been curled upward are in a state of being flatly corrected by the holding plate 26.

Further, the holding plate 26 that has been engaged with the holding unit 25 until then is detached from the holding unit 25, and the accumulated banknotes (already accumulated paper sheets)
The guide 23 (holding portion 25) and the push-in plate 24 are integrally lifted while remaining on the top or the deposition table ((e)).

After the stage of FIG. 1 (e), the process shifts to the standby stage of (a).

The feed roller 30 rotates in the direction as shown in (e) to separate and take out the lowermost bill, and the feed roller 31 conveys it in a predetermined direction.

The bills 33 whose central portions are pushed down by the pushing plate 24 in a state where both ends are held by the holding portions 25 of the guide 23 are curled and bent at both ends in the stage shown in FIG. 1 (c). However, as shown in (d), since it is pressed down from above by the pressing plate 26, the correction of the posture is completed when the succeeding banknotes are stacked on the upper surface thereof. Therefore, there is no possibility that both ends will be bent.

Therefore, bills and the like are fed by the feed roller 30 and the delivery roller 31.
It is possible to significantly reduce the probability of occurrence of a paper feed failure such as a jam at the time of feeding.

Further, the holding plate 26 is a feed roller via the accumulated banknotes.
Since a predetermined pressure can be applied to 30, it is possible to obtain sufficient frictional resistance between the feed roller 30 and the lowermost bill or the like.

In the above embodiment, the bill depositing device is mainly shown, but it is needless to say that it is generally applicable to a device for automatically accepting and sending out various papers such as tickets and securities. is there.

(Effect of the invention) As described above, according to the paper sheet stacking apparatus of the present invention, the height position level of the lowermost banknote or the like among the banknotes or the like stacked on the stacking table is always constant. It is easy to take out from the lowermost part, and it is possible to prevent curling or bending of bills and the like that are separated from the holding part and transferred to the stacking table.
