Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a paper sheet take-in mechanism, and more particularly to a paper sheet take-in mechanism for preventing the taking-in of coins when taking in paper sheets in a paper sheet handling device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional apparatus is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-306981.
The coins have been removed by a mechanism as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 1-444590. That is, it is a mechanism for removing coins after the paper sheets are taken into the apparatus.

[0003]

In the above prior art, the coins are removed after the paper sheets are taken into the inside of the apparatus,
There was a problem that the device became large and coins were mistakenly conveyed. An object of the present invention is to provide a paper sheet take-in mechanism in a paper sheet handling apparatus that removes coins when taking paper sheets into the apparatus.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a paper sheet insertion mechanism, a paper sheet insertion guide, a lower insertion roller provided at the back of the guide, and An upper insertion roller equipped with a coin removing mechanism, a paper sheet detection sensor, and the upper insertion roller is driven downward according to the paper sheet detection output of the paper sheet detection sensor to move the paper sheet to the upper insertion roller. And an upper insertion roller drive means that is sandwiched between the lower insertion roller and a lower insertion roller, and a lower insertion roller drive means that rotationally drives the lower insertion roller after the upper insertion roller drive means is driven to take in paper sheets. . Further, the paper sheet insertion guide is provided with a shaft in the vicinity of the lower insertion roller 3 so as to be rotatable downward about the shaft, and the paper sheet insertion guide is used after the upper insertion roller driving means is driven. A paper sheet insertion guide drive means for rotating downward about the center is provided.

[0005]

Operation When the paper sheet take-in mechanism starts taking in the paper sheets, the coin removing mechanism operates so that the coins are not taken into the inside of the apparatus and remain in the deposit / withdrawal port so that the customer can remove the coins. Further, since the paper sheet insertion guide rotates downward, not only coins placed on the paper sheets, but also coins between the paper sheets can be dropped and removed.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3. It should be noted that in the embodiment, banknotes are used as an example of the paper sheets for description. FIG. 1 shows the configuration of the first embodiment of the paper sheet take-in mechanism in the paper sheet handling apparatus of the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows the second embodiment of the paper sheet take-in mechanism in the paper sheet handling apparatus of the present invention.
Shows the configuration of. FIG. 3 shows the appearance of the paper sheet handling apparatus of the present invention.

First, the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 will be described. 1A shows the mechanism as seen from the side of the first embodiment, and FIG. 1B shows the mechanism as seen from the front of the first embodiment. 1 is a deposit / withdrawal port, 2 is an upper insertion roller, 3 is a lower insertion roller, 4 is a coin removing mechanism, 5 and 6 are sensors for detecting paper sheets, 5 is a front banknote detection sensor, and 6 is It is a rear banknote detection sensor. Reference numeral 7 is a paper money bill, 8 is a coin, 9 is a deposit / withdrawal port guide that is a guide for inserting paper, 10 is an upper insertion roller drive solenoid, and 11 is a lower insertion roller drive motor. When the bill 7 is inserted into the guide deposit / withdrawal port 1 along the deposit / withdrawal port guide 9, the front bill detection sensor 5 and the rear bill detection sensor 6 detect the bill. When both sensors detect a bill, the upper insertion roller drive solenoid 10 operates to lower the upper insertion roller 2 downward, the bill is sandwiched between the upper insertion roller 2 and the lower insertion roller 3, and the lower insertion roller drive motor. 11 is driven to take in a bill. Here, when the coin 8 is on the bill 7 at the time of taking in the bill, the coin 8 is stopped by the coin removing mechanism 4 during the taking of the bill.
The coin 8 is prevented from being taken in together with the bill, and the coin 8 is left in the deposit / withdrawal port 1 after the bill is taken.
By making the shape of the deposit / withdrawal port 1 such that the remaining coins are in the field of view of the user, the user can remove the coins without overlooking. Although the coin removing mechanism 4 may extend over the entire bill, it may be divided into a plurality of pieces as shown in the figure so as not to impose a large load on the movement of the bill when the bill is taken in. In this case, the intervals between the divided portions are coins. The width should not pass.

Next, a second embodiment shown in FIG. 2 will be described. 2A shows the mechanism as seen from the side of the second embodiment, and FIG. 2B shows the mechanism as seen from the front of the second embodiment. In FIG. 2, the same components as those shown in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. In FIG.
A coin removing mechanism 104 is different from the coin removing mechanism 4 of FIG. 1 in that a coin removing member is also provided on the rear side. Reference numeral 108 is a coin sandwiched between bills, and 109 is a shaft provided at a position near the lower insertion roller 3, and when a paper sheet that is rotatable downward about the shaft is inserted. Reference numeral 112 is a deposit / withdrawal port guide, and 112 is a deposit / withdrawal port guide driving solenoid, which rotates the deposit / withdrawal port guide 109 downward when driven. Reference numeral 113 is a coin tray. When the bill 7 is inserted into the guide deposit / withdrawal port 1 along the deposit / withdrawal port guide 109, the front bill detection sensor 5 and the rear bill detection sensor 6 detect the bill. When both sensors detect a bill, the upper insertion roller drive solenoid 10 operates to lower the upper insertion roller 2 downward, the bill is sandwiched between the upper insertion roller 2 and the lower insertion roller 3, and the lower insertion roller drive motor. 11 is driven to take in a bill. Banknotes are upper insertion roller 2 and lower insertion roller 3
After being held by the bank, the deposit / withdrawal port guide drive solenoid 112
Is driven, and the deposit / withdrawal port guide 109 is rotated downward. Here, when the coin 8 is on the banknote 7 when the banknote is taken in or the coin 108 is sandwiched between the banknotes, the coin 8 is stopped by the coin removing mechanism 4 during the banknote taking-in, and Since the pay-in / pay-out port guide 109 is rotated downward while the bills are being taken in, the bills are also hung downward, and the coins 8 and 108 drop down and are stored on the coin tray. This prevents the coins from being taken into the device along with the bills.

In the first and second embodiments, the coin removing mechanism may be moved back and forth, right and left, or may be rotated. Further, coins may be concentrated in the central portion by narrowing down the deposit / withdrawal port.

[0010]

According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent coins from entering the inside of the paper sheet handling apparatus and to eliminate obstacles caused by coin mixing. Further, it is possible to make a customer who inserts a coin on a paper sheet recognize that the coin cannot be inserted. Further, it is possible to easily mount the coin removing mechanism on a small-sized device.
