[0003] In the paper sheet processing apparatus configured as described above, the deposited paper sheets conveyed through the depositing path are sorted by the sorting member to the common depositing and dispensing convey path, and then the deposited paper sheets are sorted out. Is transported to a position where the storage / delivery roller and the separation roller contact each other via a common transportation path, and the storage / delivery roller and the separation roller rotate in the loading direction, so that the received paper sheet is received. It is stored in the collecting section via the discharge port. When the deposited paper is stored in the collecting section from the receiving / discharging port, a part of the impeller is protruded into the collecting section, and in this state, the impeller is rotated in the receiving direction of the deposited paper. The impeller drives the deposited paper sheets into the stacking section.

[0004] On the other hand, the deposited paper sheets accumulated in the accumulation section are ejected as ejection paper sheets to a receiving and discharging port by a kick-out roller, and then stored in a storage area provided near the receiving and discharging port.

As shown in FIG. 1, the drive unit (not shown) is stopped by being detected by the sensor 96 arranged at a predetermined position, whereby the descent of the elevator unit 21 is stopped.

(2) As shown in FIG. 8A to FIG. 8B, when the solenoid 70 is operated, the output shaft 118
Is pulled downward, and the support member 71, the shaft 72, the arm 73,
The rotating member 60 is rotated clockwise about the shaft 59 via the shaft 74, whereby the rotating member 60
8, the one end of the arm 57 is pulled obliquely downward to the right, and the pulled arm 57 pulls the rotating member 66 downward through the shaft 56, whereby the rotating member 55 is rotated counterclockwise. . Then, as shown in FIG. 8A to FIG. 8B, the rotating member 55 rotated counterclockwise
9 is rotated clockwise from FIG. 9A to FIG. 9B, and the shaft 54 rotates the rotating member 75 clockwise, and the shaft 76, the arm 77, and the shaft 79 are rotated. Then, the door opening / closing member 80 is rotated counterclockwise about the shaft 81.

The door opening / closing member 80 is rotated to a position along the slope of the guide member 13 (see FIG. 9B). Then, at the time of deposit, FIGS. 9B and 11
When the entrance / exit opening / closing member 80 is disposed as shown by the arrow and the entrance / exit 10A of the transport path 10 located on the side of the deposit path 5 is widened, the bills received from the deposit path 5 are transferred to the transport path 1.
A jam is prevented at the entrance 10A of the zero, and the deposited banknote can be reliably sent to the transport path 10 via the entrance 10A. The position of the door opening / closing member 80 shown in FIG. 9B is the “distribution member deposit position” described in the claims.

(3) As described above, the solenoid 70 is operated from FIG. 8A to FIG.
When the output shaft 118 is pulled downward as shown in FIG. 8 (b), the rotating member 60 is rotated clockwise, and the shaft 61 supporting the arm 62 moves diagonally to the upper left and the arm 62 and the shaft 63 are moved. Then, the rotating member 65 and the arm 66 are rotated counterclockwise, respectively. When the arm 66 is rotated in this manner, the rotating member 68 is rotated counterclockwise via the shaft 69. When the rotating member 68 is rotated, the shaft 67 is moved from FIG. 9A to FIG. 9B.
Is rotated clockwise, and the rotating member 83 fixed to the notch 82 formed on the shaft 67 is rotated counterclockwise, whereby the engaging portion 8 formed on the rotating member 83 is rotated.
Since the pin 4 engages the pin 85 fixed to the lower end of the support member 35, the lower end of the support member 35 is moved rightward in the drawing. When the lower end of the support member 35 is moved rightward in the drawing, the support member 35 is rotated counterclockwise about the shaft 34, and a part of the impeller 24 supported by the upper end is removed. Then, the banknote is moved from the outside of the stacking unit 20 to the inside of the stacking unit 20 so that the deposited banknotes can be stored (see FIG. 9B).

At the time of deposit, when a part of the impeller 24 supported by the support member 35 is positioned in the stacking section 20, the bills stacked on the elevator section 21
The impeller 24 is urged in a direction to be retracted from the stacking unit 20, and further supported by the urged impeller 24.
5, via the pin 85, the rotating member 83, and the shaft 67, FIG.
8B, the rotating member 68 is urged clockwise. However, as shown in FIG. 8B, the shaft 64 is located above a straight line connecting the shaft 69 and the shaft 63. Thus, the clockwise rotation of the shaft 67 is restricted, so that the impeller 24 is locked via the rotating member 68, the rotating member 83, and the support member 35, and does not retreat from the accumulation unit 20. Note that the position of the impeller 24 shown in FIG. 9B is the “impeller deposit position” described in the claims. Thus, the preparation operation at the time of deposit is completed, and the following (4) to
The deposit processing as shown in (10) is performed.

(4) A pulley and a belt for driving the transport distribution mechanism 3 and the transport path 100 are rotated in a certain direction by a drive unit (not shown) (see FIG. 1). Thereby, when the deposited banknote of the corresponding denomination is transported via the transport path 100, the transport switching member 7 rotates to the position shown by the dashed line, and the deposited banknote is taken in from the transport path 100. Further, when the deposited banknote has been designated for reversal, the front / back transport switching member 8 is rotated to the position shown by the dotted line to move the deposited banknote to the front / back reversed deposit path 4, the transport path 9.
On the other hand, when the deposited banknote is not designated for reversal, the front / back transport switching member 8 is rotated to the position shown by the dashed line, and the deposit path 5 which does not reverse the deposited banknote, the transport path To 10.

(5) The gear 26 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is driven clockwise as viewed in FIG. 4 by a driving unit (not shown), and the shaft 25 and the storage / feed-out roller 16 fixed thereto are rotated by the bill. It is rotated clockwise, which is the capture direction. (6) Gear 28 fixed to shaft 25 as shown in FIG.
Rotates the gear 32 counterclockwise through the gears 30 and 31 as viewed in FIG. 4, and the gear 32 rotates the shaft 34 counterclockwise through a torque limiter 33 fixed thereto. The gear 43 via the one-way clutch 121 on the shaft 34, when viewed from FIG.
Since it is rotatable, the drive of the shaft 34 is not transmitted to the gear 42. That is, the driven shaft 34 idles counterclockwise.

(7) The separation roller 18 pressed against the storage / delivery roller 16 is rotated counterclockwise in the bill taking direction by the frictional force with the storage / delivery roller 16 rotating clockwise as viewed in FIG. As a result, the shaft 39 provided integrally with the separation roller 18 also rotates. That is, the storage / feed-out roller 16 and the separation roller 18 are rotated in the bill taking-in direction, and the bills in the transport path 10 are taken into the stacking unit 20. Then, as shown in FIG.
Is rotated counterclockwise, this rotational force is transmitted to the gear 41 via the one-way clutch 120, and the gear 41 further drives the gear 38 meshing therewith clockwise as viewed in FIG. The gear 38 driven clockwise is, as shown in FIG. 7, a gear 37 that rotates integrally with the impeller 24.
Is rotated counterclockwise, so that the impeller 24 is rotated counterclockwise so as to correspond to the moving direction of the banknotes stored from the transport path 10 as seen in FIGS. Then, as the impeller 24 rotates counterclockwise, the deposited banknotes sent into the accumulation unit 20 through the transport path 10 are beaten downward by the impeller 24, and the elevator unit in the accumulation unit 20 is rotated. The deposited banknotes are correctly accumulated on 21.

(8) As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG.
When gear 46 is rotated clockwise together with 6, gear 4
Numeral 6 rotates the gear 48 and the shaft 47 counterclockwise, and rotates the feed roller 19 rotating integrally therewith counterclockwise while abutting the storage / feed roller 16a. When the shaft 47 is rotated counterclockwise, the pulley 50 and the belt 5 fixed to the shaft 47 are fixed as shown in FIG.
2, pulley 51, one-way clutch (not shown), shaft 49
, The feed roller 15 is rotated counterclockwise as viewed in FIG. When the feed roller 15 is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 1, the feed roller 17 pressed against the feed roller 15 and the roller 112 that rotates integrally with the impeller 23 become Rotated clockwise by frictional force with As a result, the deposited banknote sent from the front / back inverted depositing path 4 to the transporting path 9 is transported downward in the transporting path 9 toward the stacking unit 20, and is further beaten downward by the impeller 23, thereby receiving the deposit. Banknotes are correctly stacked on the elevator unit 21 of the stacking unit 20.

The one-way clutch (not shown) incorporated in the pulley 51 transmits the rotation of the belt 52 to the shaft 49 only at the time of payment. In other words, this one-way clutch (not shown) transmits the torque of the pulley 51 to the shaft 49 when the pulley 51 rotates counterclockwise as viewed in FIG. When the pulley 51 rotates clockwise during dispensing, the pulley 51
Is not transmitted to the shaft 49, and therefore, when the pulley 51 is driven clockwise, the rotation of the shaft 49 is stopped.

(9) As shown in FIG.
According to (8), when bills are sequentially stacked in the elevator unit 21 in the stacking unit 20, the actuator 93 mounted on the upper surface of the stacked bills is rotated upward about the shaft 94A, Accordingly, the detection member 95 fixed to the actuator 93 also moves upward, and the detection member 95 is not detected by the sensor 96. And
When the sensor 96 stops detecting the detecting member 95, the driving unit (not shown) is driven to lower the elevator unit 21. The lowering of the elevator unit 21 by the driving unit is continued until the detecting member 95 moves down together with the actuator 93 and the detecting member 95 is detected by the sensor 96. That is, by the operation of the sensor 96 and the actuator 93, the upper surface of the stacked banknotes of the elevator unit 21 is always held at the same position in the vertical direction in the stacking unit 20, and the transport paths 9 and 10 The banknotes can be fed from above to the upper surface of the stacked banknotes in a constant state. Note that the position of the elevator unit 21 at which the detection member 95 is detected by the sensor 96 is referred to as a “payment standby position”.

(10) When the payment is completed, the transport path 10
0, a drive unit (not shown) that drives the gear 26 of the transport distribution mechanism unit 3 and the storage / delivery mechanism unit 1 is stopped, and the other units are on standby at the deposit position.

As described in detail above, in the bill storage / feed-out mechanism shown in the present embodiment, a deposited bill which is discriminated as a designated denomination by a discriminating section (not shown) and which is not designated to be turned upside down is transported by the transport switching member 7. The deposited paper money sent to the transport path 10 through the deposit path 5 by the front and back transport switching member 8 and discriminated as the designated denomination by the discriminating unit and designated to be reversed is switched between the transport switching member 7 and the front and back transport switching. With the member 8, the sheet is sent to the transport path 9 through the front-reverse transport path 4. In addition, transport path 1
The deposited banknotes conveyed to the storage and delivery rollers 16, 1
6a, the feed roller 19, and the separation roller 18, are sandwiched by the stacking unit 20, and the deposited banknotes conveyed to the conveyance path 9 are fed to the conveyance path 9 by the feed roller 15 and the feed roller 1.
7, and is taken up by the stacking section 20 while being turned upside down in the transport path 9. Therefore, looking at FIG.
Assuming that the upper surface of the deposited banknote at the position of the transport path 100 is a front face, the deposited banknotes transported backward in the transport path 100 are accumulated on the elevator unit 21 via the deposit path 5 and the transport path 10. At this point in time, the deposited banknote (the deposited banknote designated to be turned upside down) conveyed face-up on the back side and conveyed face up on the conveying path 100 is turned upside down,
When the paper money is conveyed to the elevator unit 21 and accumulated on the elevator unit 21, the back surface faces upward as before, and as a result, the front and back of the deposited banknotes accumulated in the accumulation unit 20 of the storage unit 2 are sorted. Can be

(B) Processing at the time of payment will be described. (1) At the time of withdrawal, the elevator unit 21 that accumulates banknotes is raised from a deposit standby position (see (9) of the process at the time of deposit) by a drive unit (not shown), and the upper portion of the accumulated banknotes is The push-out roller 22 is pressed from below and further pressed against the actuator 93.
And press it upward. Since the support member 86 supporting the kick-out roller 22 is rotatably supported by the shaft 25, the support member 86 is moved upward together with the kick-out roller 22 as viewed in FIG. When the detection piece 91 provided on the support member 86 is moved upward by a predetermined range and the detection piece 91 is detected by the sensor 92, the driving unit (not shown) is stopped, and the elevation of the elevator unit 21 is stopped. . That is, the upper surface of the banknote stack on the elevator unit 21 is constantly brought into contact with the kick-out roller 22 at a constant pressure.

(2) The solenoid 70 is operated to change from the state shown in FIG. 8B to the state shown in FIG.
That is, when the solenoid 70 is operated, the output shaft 118
Is pushed upward, the link mechanism 53 performs an operation reverse to that of the operation (2) at the time of deposit, and the support member 71, the shaft 72,
Arm 73, shaft 74, rotating member 60, shaft 58, arm 5
7, the door opening / closing member 80 passes through the shaft 56, the rotating member 55, the shaft 54, the rotating member 75, the shaft 76, the arm 77, and the shaft 79 in order, as shown in FIGS. 9B to 9A. Axis 8
1 is rotated clockwise about the center of FIG.
As shown by, the upper exit of the transport path 10 is narrowed, and the dispensed bills coming out of the upper exit of the transport path 10 are transported upward in the vertical direction, and are transferred to the output path 6 of the transport distribution mechanism 3. The tip of the dispensing bill is surely directed.

Further, when the solenoid 70 is operated as described above and the output shaft 118 is pushed upward,
Supporting member 71, shaft 72, arm 73, shaft 74, rotating member 60, shaft 61, arm 62, shaft 63, arm 66, shaft 6
9, the rotation member 68, the shaft 67, the rotation member 83, and the pin 85 are sequentially connected to the support member 35 from FIG.
As shown in (a), the impeller 24 is rotated clockwise about the shaft 34 and supported by the shaft 34 and retracts from the stacking section 20. Thus, when the stacked banknotes are dispensed to the transport path 10, the impeller 24 does not interfere.

At the time of withdrawal, as shown in FIG.
It is conceivable that the entrance opening / closing member 80 is urged toward the guide member 13 by bills fed from the transport path 10, but as seen from FIG. By positioning the shaft 58 to the left in the drawing, the counterclockwise rotation of the shaft 54 is regulated, whereby the door opening / closing member 80 moves toward the guide member 13 via the rotating member 75 and the arm 77. There is no intrusion. The entrance opening / closing member 80 shown in FIG.
Is the "distribution member dispensing position" shown in the claims, and the position of the impeller 24 shown in FIG. 9A is the "impeller dispensing position" shown in the claims.

(3) A pulley and a belt for driving the transport distribution mechanism 3 and the transport path 100 are rotated in a fixed direction by a drive unit (not shown). Further, the transport switching member 7 and the front / back transport switching member 8 of the transport distribution mechanism 3 are rotated clockwise from the deposit standby position as viewed in FIG. That is, both the transport switching member 7 and the front / back transport switching member 8 are arranged at positions not protruding into the transport path 100 as indicated by the dotted lines.

With the above, the preparation operation at the time of dispensing is completed, and dispensing processing as shown in the following (4) to (9) is performed. (4) Next, a description will be given of a bill feeding operation.
The gear 26 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is driven by a driving unit (not shown).
4, the shaft 25 and the storage / delivery roller 16 fixed thereto are also rotated in the counterclockwise direction, which is the direction in which bills are fed. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, when the shaft 25 is driven counterclockwise together with the gear 26, the gear 28 fixed to the shaft 25 becomes the gear 3
0, the gear 32 is rotated clockwise via the gear 31.

(5) As shown in FIG. 6, when the shaft 34 is rotated clockwise, the gear 43 is also driven clockwise via the one-way clutch 121, and the gear 42 is driven counterclockwise. As a result, the separation roller 18 integrated with the gear 42 is also driven counterclockwise.

However, here, the torque limiter 33 provided on the gear 32 does not actually transmit the clockwise rotational force of the gear 32 to the separation roller 18 (however,
The fed-out banknote is not double-fed, and the separation roller 18 does not slip on the storage / feed-out roller 16). That is, the torque limiter 33 provided on the shaft 30
Since a slip occurs due to a difference in torque between the shaft 2 and the shaft 34 that is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the rotational force of the storage / feed-out roller 16 is transmitted to the separation roller 18 (via a bill), When a constant torque is generated in the separation roller 18, that is, the dispensing bills sandwiched between the storage / feed roller 16 and the separation roller 18 are not double-fed, and the separation roller 18 is moved by the storage / feed roller 16. When driven by a constant torque, the separation roller 18, the shaft 3
9, the gear 34, the gear 43, and the way clutch 121 sequentially pass through the shaft 34 to generate a constant torque.
Thereby, the torque limiter 33 slides the shaft 34 with respect to the gear 32 to allow the shaft 34 to rotate counterclockwise relative to the gear 32 rotating clockwise.

(6) On the other hand, when the separation roller 18 is driven by the storage / delivery roller 16 and the separation roller 18 is rotating in the counterclockwise direction which is the direction in which the banknote is fed (that is, when the fed banknote is (If not double feed)
, The rotational force of the separation roller 18 is
2 is transmitted to the gear 43 via the
Is rotated counterclockwise. Since the gear 43 is provided on the shaft 34 via the one-way clutch 121,
When the separation roller 18 is driven by the storage / feed-out roller 16 with a constant torque, the gear 43 only idles counterclockwise, and does not transmit its rotational force to the shaft 34. When the separation roller 18 is rotated clockwise by being driven by the storage / feed roller 16, the shaft 39 rotates integrally with the separation roller 18. When the shaft 39 rotates clockwise as viewed in FIG. 1-way clutch 120 is gear 4
Since no rotational force is transmitted to 1, no drive is transmitted to the gear 38, and thus the impeller 24 does not rotate.

(7) When the dispensing bills sandwiched between the storage / feed-out roller 16 and the separation roller 18 are double-fed, the separation roller 18 applies one of the double-fed bills to the stacking unit 20. Scrape inside. That is, when a bill is double-fed to the contact position between the storage / feed-out roller 16 and the separation roller 18 in the transport path 10, the frictional force between the bills will
The frictional force between the feeding roller 16 and the bill and the separating roller 18 is considerably small, and the bills slip. Therefore, when two bills are clamped between the storing / feeding roller 16 and the separating roller 18. , Storage and feeding roller 1
The rotation force is not transmitted from the roller 6 to the separation roller 18.

In this case, the separation roller 18
Shaft 39, gear 42, gear 43, 1-way clutch 121
, The torque is not applied to the shaft 34 in sequence.
The torque limiter 33 having a configuration in which the torque difference between the gear 32 and the shaft 32 does not occur and the gear 32 and the shaft 34 cause a slip due to the torque difference between the gear 32 and the shaft 34, Drive torque limiter 3
3, and the rotational force of the shaft 34 in the clockwise direction in FIG. 6 is sequentially transmitted to the separation roller 18 via the one-way clutch 121, the gear 43, and the gear 42.
Is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. That is, when the dispensing bills sandwiched between the storage / delivery roller 16 and the separation roller 18 are double-fed, the separation roller 18 is rotated counterclockwise by the driving force from the torque limiter 33. As a result, only one of the two bills abutted on the separation roller 18 is returned to the stacking unit 20.

(8) As seen from FIGS. 3 and 4, the gear 26 is driven in a counterclockwise direction.
6 is rotated counterclockwise, the gear 48 is viewed from FIG.
Is rotated clockwise, and the feed roller 19 is rotated clockwise while abutting on the storage / feed-out roller 16a. When the shaft 25 is driven as shown in FIG. 10, the pulley 88 provided on the shaft 25 causes the shaft 87 to rotate in the same direction as the shaft 25 through the belt 90 and the pulley 89, whereby the kick roller 22 is rotated in the same direction as the storage / feed-out rollers 16 and 16a fixed to the shaft 25. Then, the kick roller 22 is rotated.

(9) When the dispensing process is completed, the transport path 1
00, a drive unit (not shown) for driving the gear 26 of the transport distribution mechanism unit 3 and the storage / delivery mechanism unit 1 is stopped, and the other units wait at the dispensing position.

In the above embodiment, the deposited banknotes conveyed through the depositing path 5 are guided to the transporting path 10 by the entrance opening / closing member 80 and then stored in the collecting section 20 through the receiving / discharging port 10B. . In addition, the deposited banknotes are stacked
In the case where the entrance is 0, the link mechanism 53 is driven by the solenoid 70, and as shown in FIG. 9B, the entrance opening / closing member 80 is disposed at a position where the entrance 10A is widened, and a part of the impeller 24 is removed. The banknotes are made to protrude from the stacking section 20, whereby the deposited banknotes are smoothly guided from the depositing path 5 to the transporting path 10, and the deposited banknotes are fed from the transporting path 10 toward the collecting section 20 in a stable state. .

When the banknotes in the stacking section 20 are dispensed, the banknotes in the stacking section 20 pass through the transfer path 10 from the receiving / discharging port 10B, and are then transferred to the payout path 6 by the entrance opening / closing member 80. Is proposed. When dispensing the banknotes in the stacking unit 20, the link mechanism 53 is driven by the solenoid 70, and as shown in FIG.
Is located at a position to narrow the entrance 10A, and the impeller 2
4 is withdrawn from the stacking unit 20.
The dispensed banknotes are smoothly transported from the stacking unit 20 to the transport path 10 and from the transport path 10 to the dispensing path 6.

That is, according to the bill storing and feeding mechanism in the bill receiving and dispensing machine of the present invention, the common solenoid 70 and the link mechanism 53 allow the opening and closing member to be opened and closed as shown in FIGS. 9 (a) and 9 (b). 80 and the impeller 24 can be moved to a position corresponding to the deposit or withdrawal, and the impeller 24 is moved by the drive transmitting means for transmitting the driving force for rotating the storage and delivery roller and the separation roller at the deposit position. Because it can be driven, as in the past,

Can be performed favorably.

Further, in the second aspect, the plurality of links constituting the link mechanism are arranged in a positional relationship in which the link does not operate due to the force applied from the distribution member and the impeller when the driving unit is not driven. Therefore, the distribution member and the impeller do not move from a predetermined position due to a reaction when the impeller guides the paper sheets or a force when the paper sheets slide on the distribution member. As a result, it is possible to prevent paper sheets from being jammed in the vicinity of the distribution member and the impeller. Further, such a mechanism for restricting the movement of the distribution member and the impeller is incorporated in a common link mechanism of the distribution member and the impeller. It is not necessary to separately provide a mechanism for restricting the movement of the device, and in this respect, the effect of making the entire device compact can be obtained.
