DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a paper sheet handling apparatus for handling paper sheets, and more particularly to an automatic cash dispenser for depositing and dispensing bills.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional sheet handling apparatus for handling sheets, there is a sheet handling apparatus provided with a sheet storage box described in JP-A-8-2716.

[0003] This paper sheet storage box has a paper sheet take-in space for taking in paper sheets, a paper sheet storage space for taking in paper sheets, a paper sheet take-in space and a storage space. And a movable regulating member as a dividing member.

When taking in paper sheets into the paper sheet take-in space, the right and left ends of the foremost paper sheets among the paper sheets stored in the storage space are suppressed by using a regulating member. Thus, a paper sheet take-in space is formed by the regulating member and the end wall and the side wall opposed thereto, and the paper sheets are taken in.

[0005] Further, when storing the paper sheets taken into the paper sheet take-in space in the storage space, the paper sheets in the paper sheet take-in space and the paper sheets in the storage space are placed between the paper sheets. The regulating member at the intervening position retreats left and right so as to completely separate from the paper sheets, moves as it is to the end wall of the paper sheet take-in space, and then moves so as to be integrated with the end wall. This suppresses the left and right edges of the forefront paper sheet in contact with the end wall. Thereafter, the regulating member moves in the direction of the storage space, so that the sheets in the paper sheet take-in space are stored in the storage space.

[0006]

In the above-mentioned prior art, the end wall and the regulating member are integrally formed to form a single plane so that the regulating member can suppress the foremost sheet in contact with the end wall. Therefore, the end wall has a shape lacking by the amount of the regulating member.

Therefore, if a sheet having a different shape or a sheet conveyed in a poor posture exists in the sheet handling apparatus, the sheet is taken into the sheet taking-in space of the sheet storage. If the regulating member is enlarged to reliably regulate the inserted paper sheets, the end wall constituting the paper sheet intake space is inevitably small, and is conveyed to the paper sheet intake space. It is difficult to orderly take in paper sheets.

On the other hand, if the shape of the end wall is increased in order to take in the sheets conveyed to the sheet taking-in space in an orderly manner, the regulating member has to be made small, so that the sheet taking-up space is inevitably reduced. It is not possible to reliably control paper sheets taken in an inclined state or small-sized paper sheets, and it becomes impossible to take them into the storage section.

As described above, when there is a sheet having a different shape or a sheet being conveyed in a state of being in a poor posture during conveyance, it is possible to securely store the sheets in the sheet storage. It is not possible, and there is a possibility that paper sheets may stay in the paper sheet handling apparatus.

In addition, a space for retracting and moving the regulating member is required. When the regulating member is large, extra space is increased, and the entire sheet handling apparatus must be large.

[0011] An object of the present invention is to provide a sheet handling apparatus in which, when there is a sheet having a different shape in a sheet handling apparatus or a sheet being conveyed in a poor posture during conveyance, the sheet is reliably replaced with a sheet. By storing the sheets in the sheet storage, it is possible to prevent the sheets from staying in the sheet handling apparatus.

[0012]

In order to achieve the above object, a paper sheet handling apparatus according to the present invention takes in and out paper sheets.
Input / output port, a discriminator for discriminating paper sheets, and paper sheets

Hereinafter, the structure of the deposit safe 6 and the deposit operation in the paper handling apparatus of the present invention will be described. FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a flow of a deposit operation of the deposit safe 6 described below.

As shown in FIG. 1, the deposit safe 6 has a bill taking-in mechanism 623, a bill taking-in space 616, and a storage space 617. By increasing the size of the storage space 617 in the storage direction, the in-box safe 6 of this embodiment can store a large number of banknotes, for example, 3,000.

The bill taking-in mechanism 623 includes a rotating stack roller 60 driven by a driving source (not shown) via a gear.
1, backup rollers 602 and 603 facing the stack roller 601, and coaxially with the backup roller 603, and are rotated independently from the backup roller 603 by a driving source (not shown) to show the elastic member 604a. , A lower stack guide 605, an upper stack guide 606
This is a mechanism for taking in banknotes from the outside into the safe 6. The bill taking-in space 616 is a space formed by the upper partition plate 611, the lower partition plate 613, the upper stack guide 606, and the lower stack guide 605.
The banknote taken in by 3 is temporarily stored here.

The storage space 617 is a space formed by the upper partition plate 611, the lower partition plate 613, and the pressing plate 615, and is a space for finally storing the bills conveyed to the deposit safe 6.

The upper partition plate 611 and the lower partition plate 613, which are partition means for partitioning the bill receiving space 616 and the storage space 617 of the deposit box 6, will be described.

The upper partition plate 611 serves as a bill taking-in space ceiling 61.
9 is rotatable about the upper partition plate fulcrum shaft 612 supported by the rotation shaft 9. In addition, bill intake space ceiling board 619
Is connected to the drive belt 618, so that the upper partition plate 61
1 moves forward and backward with the movement of a push plate 608 described later.

In this embodiment, the bill receiving space ceiling plate 61 is used.
Although the movable member 9 is connected to the drive belt 618 to be movable, a structure in which only the upper partition plate fulcrum shaft 612 is connected to the drive belt to be movable may be employed.

The height of the lower end of the upper partition plate 611 is sufficiently lower than the height of the minimum size bill among the bills handled by the bill handling device 1.
16 and a width covering the entire width of the storage space 617. Further, the upper partition plate 611 has a structure that cannot be rotated to the bill taking-in space 616 side from the position (vertically below) shown in FIG.

On the other hand, the lower partition plate 613 has a rotation axis below the floor of the storage space, and is normally at the position shown in FIG. 1 by a spring (not shown). It has a structure that cannot rotate to the space 616 side.

The height of the lower partition plate 613 is set so that the bill P1 pushed by the pushing plate 608 comes into direct contact with the bill P2 to reduce the load on a motor (not shown) for driving the pushing plate 608 described later. It has a shape lower than that of the push plate 608 so that it can be pushed into.

As described above, when the bill is being conveyed to the bill taking-in space 616, the upper partition plate 611 and the lower partition plate 6
Reference numeral 13 serves as a wall separating the banknote take-in space 616 and the storage space 617, and the banknote P2 in the storage space 617 does not interfere with the banknote being conveyed to the banknote take-in space 616.

In this embodiment, a plate is used as a partitioning means for separating the bill taking-in space 616 and the storage space 617.
A lattice-shaped member, a film-shaped member, or the like may be used as long as it functions as a wall that separates the bill-receiving space 616 and the storage space 617 when the bill is being conveyed to the bill-receiving space 616.

When a bill is carried into the deposit safe 6, the switching gate 852 is switched to 852a.
The bill is fed from the main bill transport path 501 between the rotating stack roller 601 and the backup rollers 602 and 603. The bill fed between the stack roller 601 and the backup roller 603 contacts the elastic member 604a of the stopped brush roller 604, and the elastic member 60
4a, while passing through the lower stack guide 605 while receiving a frictional resistance, due to the elastic deformation of the stack roller 6a.
01 and at a position where the nipping conveyance force by the backup roller 603 disappears.

Immediately thereafter, the brush roller 604 rotates and pushes the temporarily stopped bills in the direction of the storage space 617, so that the bills are not interfered with each other by the bill taking-in space 61.
6 is accumulated in a standing posture. In this manner, the bills are taken in one by one at the lower end while being ejected upward from below the bill taking-in space, so that bills having different shapes can be stacked in a standing posture.

When a bill is taken into the bill taking-in space 616, the upper partition 611 is moved from the lower partition 613 to the storage space 6.
17 is located. Therefore, the bill receiving space 616
The banknote P1 taken in the standing posture in the
After being pushed out toward the storage space 617 by 04, it is supported by the upper partition plate 611 and the lower partition plate 613, so that a space for a bill to be taken in next can be secured.

The bill taking-in space 616 includes the bill taking-in space 6
Pushing plate 608 serving as pushing means for moving bills P1 temporarily stored in storage space 16 to storage space 617
With. The pushing plate 608 is fixed to the drive belt 618, and advances and retreats in the direction of the storage space 617 via the drive belt 618 by rotation of a motor (not shown). In addition, the push-in plate 608 securely stores the minimum size bill among the bills handled by the bill handling apparatus 1 in the storage space 617.
The banknote is moved forward and backward so as to cover the entire width direction of the banknote take-in space 616 at a height at which the lower part of the banknote of the minimum size can be pushed below the center.
Thereby, regardless of the size of the bill and the presence or absence of a shift, the bill P1 in the bill taking-in space 616 is stored in the storage space 617
Can be moved to

In this embodiment, the bill P1 is stored in the storage space 6.
Although the board is used as the pushing means for moving the bill to 17, the bill handling device 1 handles the whole width direction of the bill taking-in space 616 at a height at which the lower part of the smallest bill is pushed. A rod or the like may be used as long as it moves forward and backward.

In this embodiment, the upper partition plate fulcrum shaft 612, which is the rotation axis of the upper partition plate 611, is connected to a drive belt 618 to which the pushing plate 608 is connected via a slider mechanism (not shown). As a result, the pushing plate 608 and the upper partition plate 611 move in synchronization, but a part of the pushing plate 608 can also move independently.

When a bill is taken into the bill taking-in space 616, the drive belt 618 is driven, and only the pushing plate 608 moves forward in the direction of the storage space 617 by the above-mentioned slider mechanism.

As shown in FIG. 2, when the pushing plate 608 advances to a position where it comes into contact with the bill P1, and the bill P1 can be supported, the upper partition plate 611 is synchronized with the pushing plate 608 and the bill taking-in space 616 is inserted. Begin to retreat in the direction of.

The pushing plate 608 is further advanced, and the bill P
When the bill 1 is pushed in the direction of the storage space 617, as shown in FIG.
3 is rotated in the direction of the storage space 617 and the storage space 617 is rotated.

Go to

Further, the pushing plate 608 is provided in the storage space 61.
7, the upper partition plate 611 comes off the pushing auxiliary guide 609 or the upper end of the bill P1, which will be described later.
When the lower partition plate 613 comes off the lower end of the banknote P1, the upper partition plate 611 and the lower partition plate 613 return to the positions shown in FIG. As a result, the upper partition plate 611 and the lower partition plate 613 serve as walls that partition the bill taking-in space 616 and the storage space 617, and the bill P1 is stored in the storage space 617.

The pushing plate 608 and the upper partition plate 611
Since the upper partition plate fulcrum shaft 612, which is the rotation axis of, is fixed to the same drive belt 618 and moves in conjunction therewith, the moving amount of the pushing plate 608 is smaller than when the upper partition plate fulcrum shaft 612 is fixed. Small enough.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG.
08 retreats in the direction of the bill receiving space 616, and the upper partition plate 611 advances in the direction of the storage space 617. At this time, as shown in FIG. 7, since the upper partition plate 611 has a slit for avoiding collision with a pushing assist guide 609 described later, the pushing plate 608 and the pushing assist guide 6 are provided.
09 can pass without colliding with the upper partition plate 611. Thus, the banknote P1 supported by the push-in plate 608 and the push-in assist guide 609 is supported by the upper partition plate 611 and the lower partition plate 613.

At this time, the pressing plate 61 in the storage space 617
5, the bills P1 and P2 are pressed toward the bill taking-in space 616 so as not to fall.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG.
08 and the upper partition plate 611, a space for carrying in the next deposited bill is secured in the bill taking-in space 616.

In the above-described example of the deposit operation, the bills conveyed to the deposit safe 6 are correctly accumulated in the bill taking-in space 616. Even when bills conveyed in a state or broken ears are conveyed to the deposit box 6 and are accumulated without being organized in the bill taking-in space 616, the accumulated bills are securely stored in the storage space 617. The push-in assisting guide 60 is rotatable about a push-in fulcrum shaft 610 above the push-in plate 608 so that the push-in guide 6 can rotate.
9 are provided. The pushing assist guide 609 will be described below. As shown in FIG. 13, the tip of the pushing assist guide 609 is attached to the bill P in the bill taking-in space 616.
The surface in contact with 1 is claw-shaped and rounded. Then, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 13, the bill taking-in space 616 of the bill taking-in space ceiling plate 619 corresponding to the ceiling of the bill taking-in space 616.
The side surface has an uneven shape, and the tip of the pushing assist guide 609 passes through the recess.

Further, as shown in FIG.
8 moves forward in the direction of the storage space 617 by the maximum amount.
When 11 rotates at the maximum angle, the pushing assist guide 60
9 is deeper than the lower end of the upper partition plate 611 (on the pressing plate 615 side)
Located in. The storage space 617 is provided with a storage space ceiling plate 621 so as to approach the upper partition plate 611 rotated by the maximum angle. Further, the pushing assist guide 60
9 moves so as to cover the space above the space through which the pushing plate 608 passes.

With this configuration, the pushing assist guide 609 advances in the direction of the storage space 617, so that the banknotes P 1 that have been misaligned and deposited above the height of the pushing plate 608 can be stored in the storage space 617 without being jammed. When the pushing auxiliary guide 609 moves forward by the maximum amount, the upper partition plate 611 is opened and rotates downward, and the storage space ceiling plate 621 replaces the upper partition plate 611 to suppress the bill P1 from above. All the banknotes P1 accumulated in the banknote take-in space 616 are stored in the storage space 617.

The bills deposited below the height of the push-in plate 608 are pushed forward in the direction of the storage space 617 by the push-in plate 608 and the push-in plate 61.
5 or banknote P already stored in storage space 617
2 and is reliably transported to the storage space 617. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 7, the pushing assist guide 609 has stoppers 622 on both sides of the distal end. Thus, when the banknotes conveyed to the deposit safe 6 are taken into the banknote take-in space 616, the banknotes do not wrap around above the tip of the pushing auxiliary guide 609, and when the pushing auxiliary guide 609 moves forward, The bill P1 in the bill taking-in space 616 is pushed in at the front of the pushing assist guide 609.

The provision of the pushing plate 608 and the pushing assist guide 609 allows the banknotes P1 in the banknote receiving space 616 to be stored regardless of the state of the banknotes P1 accumulated in the banknote receiving space 616. It can be moved to the space 617.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the present embodiment has a structure for reducing the load on a motor (not shown) for driving the pushing plate 608.

That is, the other end of the spring 624 connected to the pressing plate 615 is pressed and connected to the fulcrum shaft 610. Thereby, when the bill P1 in the bill taking-in space 616 is moved to the storage space 617, the pushing plate 608 is advanced by the pulling force of the spring 624 until the pushing plate 608 contacts the bill P1 and the bill P2. After the bill 608 contacts the bill P1 and the bill P2, the pushing plate 608 is pressed.
The extension of the spring 624 does not change even if the motor advances, and the load on the motor (not shown) does not increase accordingly. Also,
After the banknote P1 is stored in the storage space 617, the pushing plate 6
08 is retracted, the bills P stored in the push-in plate 608 and the storage space 617 by the tensile force of the spring 624.
1 does not separate, and the bill P1 does not fall.

In the above-described embodiment, the present invention is applied to the deposit box 6 that performs only depositing. However, by adjusting the rotation movable range of the upper partition plate 611 and the lower partition plate 613 with movable pins, the bill collection is performed. And the press plate 615 is driven by a motor.
A deposit and withdrawal safe is realized by making the transfer path for depositing and dispensing both.

Also, an in-box 6 for storing bills in a standing position.
However, the banknote take-in space 616 is arranged at the upper part and the storage space 617 is arranged at the lower part, and the banknotes conveyed to the deposit safe 6 are taken into the banknote take-up space 616 from the side, and the brush is applied so that the banknotes are along the wall surface. By pushing the bills downward by the rollers 604 to accumulate in the bill taking-in space 616, and then pushing the bills accumulated in the lower storage space 617 collectively, the bills are piled up in a lying state. An in-box safe 6 for storage can be realized.

The banknote handling apparatus 1 of the present invention is provided with the above-mentioned safe box 6, so that banknotes of different shapes,
Banknotes conveyed in a posture failure state such as tilting, banknotes with broken ears, and the like can be securely stored, and generation of banknotes in the banknote handling apparatus 1 can be prevented.

[0060]

By using the paper sheet handling apparatus of the present invention, even if there are paper sheets having different shapes in the apparatus or paper sheets which are being transported in a poor posture during transportation, these paper sheets can be used. By reliably storing the paper sheets in the paper sheet storage, it is possible to prevent the paper sheets from staying in the paper sheet handling apparatus.
