Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a paper sheet stacking mechanism for stacking paper sheets at a deposit / withdrawal port when paper sheets such as banknotes are dispensed by an automatic transaction device or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional paper sheet stacking mechanism, in particular, in order to withdraw a banknote from a deposit / withdrawal port to a customer, the banknote transported in an automatic transaction device is placed in front of the deposit / withdrawal port. It is known that the banknotes are once stacked in the lateral direction and then the stacked banknotes are conveyed to a deposit / withdrawal port in an upright state.

[0003]

However, in the above-described conventional paper sheet stacking mechanism, in order to accurately vertically stack paper sheets in the deposit / withdrawal port, a stacking portion for horizontally stacking them in front of the deposit / withdrawal port. Was needed. Therefore, there is a problem that is not suitable for downsizing of the automatic transaction device. Also, since the banknotes were stacked horizontally and then conveyed to the deposit / withdrawal port in a stacked state, there is a problem that the mechanism becomes complicated, which is not suitable for downsizing of the automated teller machine and causes a cost increase. I was getting tired.

Therefore, the conventional paper sheet stacking mechanism has a problem that is not suitable for downsizing of the automatic transaction apparatus.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is an openable / closable sheath.
In paper sheet stacking mechanism for stacking paper sheets on the stacking unit having Yatta, feeding the paper sheet in a substantially vertical direction for the stacking unit
Place the feeding means for feeding in under the stacking part, and
It is fixed to the shutter and the other end is shaped as a free end.
The infeed when the shutter is closed
When the paper sheets sent from the means hit, they will be deformed and
Located in the stacking part so as to absorb the momentum of
When the shutter is opened
It is characterized by having an elastic member that retracts .

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is an explanatory view of a home position of the paper sheet stacking mechanism of the embodiment, FIG. 2 is an explanatory view of a set position of the paper sheet stacking mechanism of the embodiment, and FIG. 3 is a delivery roller, a feed roller, and a separation roller. FIG. 4 is an arrangement view of the tongue roller, FIG. 4 is an arrangement view of the elastic member, and FIG. 5 is an operation explanatory view of the elastic member.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a deposit / withdrawal port for depositing / dispensing paper sheets such as banknotes (hereinafter referred to as banknotes) to / from a customer. The lower shutter 2 and the upper shutter 3 are two-dot chain lines. It is designed to be opened and closed by moving as shown in. The inside of the deposit / withdrawal port 1 is partitioned by a partition plate 4, and in particular, the stacking portion 5 is formed. Further, below the stacking unit 5, a feeding roller 6, a feed roller 12, a separating roller 7 and a tongue roller 8 are arranged. The delivery roller 6 and the feed roller 12 are provided coaxially as shown in FIG. The tongue roller 8 is composed of a tongue portion 8a and a roller portion 8b, as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 2, as the feeding roller 6 and the feed roller 12 rotate in the direction of arrow a,
By rotating the separating roller 7 and the tongue roller 8 in the direction of the arrow b, the banknotes conveyed from the cash box (not shown) are collected in the accumulating section 5.
It is designed to be integrated into. The tongue portion 8a of the tongue roller 8 is rotated in the direction of arrow b when a bill is dispensed,
This is for hitting the lower side of the banknotes accumulated in the accumulating section 5 so that the lower side of the banknotes is moved closer to the partition plate 4 side. By this width adjustment, an entrance path for the bills fed from the feeding roller 6, the separation roller 7, and the roller portion 8b of the tongue roller 8 to the stacking portion 5 is secured. As shown in FIG. 3, the tongue roller 8 is provided so as to face the feed roller 12 and strikes the lower side of the bill in a wide range.

The stacker 5 has a picker roller 9
However, they are arranged on the tangential direction (vertical direction in the figure) between the feeding roller 6 and the separation roller 7. The picker roller 9 rotates in the direction of arrow c to assist the stacking operation of the banknotes, especially when the banknotes are dispensed. An elastic member 10 is arranged on the lower shutter 2 in a tangential direction (vertical direction in the drawing) between the feeding roller 6 and the separation roller 7. As shown in FIG. 4, two elastic members 10 are provided on the shutter 2 so that both ends of the bill collide with each other. As shown in FIG. 5, when a force F is applied from below, the elastic member 10 is deformed to the shutter 2 side. , Is fixed to the shutter 2 with one end fixed and the other end free. In addition, the elastic member 10
May be of any type as long as it absorbs the force F generated by the banknote. For example, sponge or rubber may be used as the shutter 2.
You may make it stick to.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described.
6 and 7 are operation explanatory diagrams of the embodiment. First, in FIG. 6, the bill P is fed into the stacking unit 5 from the direction of the arrow e by the feeding roller 6 and the like.
Then, a banknote collides with the elastic member 10 in the direction of arrow d. Then, the elastic member 10 is deformed to absorb the kinetic energy of the bill, and the bill is rebounded in the direction of arrow g, that is, downward. Then, the tongue roller 8 of the tongue roller 8 is
Since it rotates in the arrow b direction, the tongue piece 8a strikes the lower side of the banknote P, and the banknote P is width-shifted in the arrow f direction as shown in FIG.

According to the above-mentioned embodiment, since the elastic member 10 absorbs the kinetic energy of the bill, there is no fear of jumping over the partition plate 4 in the direction of the arrow h as shown in FIG. 8 and the deformation of the bill is prevented. You can also In addition, the paper money P is moved in the direction of the arrow f to form a space on the stacking unit 5 side of the feeding roller 6 and the separating roller 7 so that the already stacked paper money does not interfere with the stacking of the next paper money. did. Therefore, banknotes can be accurately stacked in the stacking unit 5 in the deposit / withdrawal port 1.

[0012]

As described above, according to the paper sheet stacking mechanism of the present invention, the elastic member absorbs the momentum of the paper sheets fed in the stacking portion in the deposit / withdrawal port in a substantially vertical direction, and this elastic member is used. Since the bottom side of the paper sheets that are bounced back to
The effect that the paper sheets can be accurately accumulated in the accumulating portion 5 in the deposit / withdrawal port 1 is obtained. Therefore, unlike the conventional case, it is not necessary to provide an accumulating portion for laterally accumulating in the preceding stage of the deposit / withdrawal port, and it can be expected that the effect of contributing to downsizing of the entire apparatus can be expected.
