Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、例えば紙幣出金機、紙幣入出金機、循環式紙幣入出金処理機等の紙幣出金処理機に係り、特に搬送される紙幣を受け入れて集積状態で一時保留し、その一時保留紙幣が所定量に達したときその一時保留紙幣を集積状態で送出する紙幣一時保留部を備えた紙幣出金処理機に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来の上記類の紙幣出金処理機としては、例えば特開２０００−９０３２３号公報に示されるものがある。
【０００３】
この処理機における紙幣一時保留部は、上部側に位置する上部搬送体と、一時保留紙幣の集積時には下方に位置し集積終了時に上昇する受台と、この受台の受面から突出状態に設けられ受台上昇時に上昇して上部搬送体との間で集積状態の一時保留紙幣を挟着する下部搬送体と、前記紙幣一時保留部から集積状態の一時保留紙幣を送出するとき、前記上部搬送体を紙幣送出方向へ回転駆動する駆動手段とで構成されている。
【０００４】
そして紙幣一時保留部の下部搬送体は受台に回転自由に支持されたローラにより構成されており、一時保留紙幣を上部搬送体と下部搬送体とで挟持して搬送するとき上部搬送体が回転駆動されて一時保留紙幣が下部搬送体上を従動移動し、そのとき下部搬送体のローラが追従回転するものである。
【０００５】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかるに上記従来の構造では、集積された紙幣同士の密着性がよくて紙幣間にスリップがない場合には紙幣の集積状態が維持されたまま搬送されるので特別問題は生じないが、紙幣同士の密着性が悪く、紙幣同士がスリップしやすい場合には紙幣の集積状態が崩れ、例えば刺身状態となって搬送されることが生じる。
【０００６】
このような場合には紙幣の搬送異常が判断されると機械のダウンとなり、作業に支障をきたすことになる。
【０００７】
また搬送異常とは判断されなくとも、下記のような種々の支障をきたす。すなわち出金紙幣の場合は、操作者は集積崩れとなった紙幣を出金口部から取り出さなければならず、取り出したのち改めて紙幣を揃え直すことが要求される。
【０００８】
また出金取り忘れ紙幣の場合も同様である。すなわち出金取り忘れ紙幣の場合は、出金口から紙幣一時保留部を経由して回収口部へ送られ、この回収口部に一部が突出した状態で保持されるとき集積崩れの状態におかれることになる。
【０００９】
この場合も機械の管理者あるいは作業者は集積崩れした紙幣を回収口から取り出さなければならず、取り出したあと集積状態に揃え直すことが余儀なくされる。
【００１０】
本発明は上記従来の技術の問題点に着目し、紙幣一時保留部の一時保留紙幣を集積状態が崩れることなく保持したまま送出することができるようにすることを課題としてなされたものである。
【００１１】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決する手段として本発明特に第１の発明は、紙幣を集積状態で収納するとともに最前位の紙幣を１枚ずつ繰り出す紙幣収納繰り出し部と、この繰り出し部から繰り出された紙幣を搬送する搬送部と、この搬送部により搬送される紙幣を受け入れて集積状態で一時保留し、所定枚数保留されたとき一時保留紙幣を集積状態で送出する紙幣一時保留部とを有し、この一時保留部は、紙幣面に対しその一方側の位置に設けられる第１搬送体と、一時保留紙幣の集積時には集積位置におかれ集積終了時に前記第１搬送体に向けて進出する受台と、この受台の受面から突出可能に設けられ該受台の進出時に進出して前記第１搬送体との間で一時保留紙幣を挟持する第２搬送体と、前記紙幣一時保留部から集積状態の一時保留紙幣を送出するとき前記第１搬送体を紙幣送出方向に回転駆動せしめる駆動手段とを有する紙幣出金処理機であって、前記駆動手段に設けられ前記第２搬送体側に紙幣送出方向への回転を与えるための第１回転体と、前記第２搬送体の駆動軸に設けられ前記受台の進出方向への移動により当該第２搬送体が集積状態の一時保留紙幣を前記第１搬送体に押圧するとき前記第１回転体と結合可能となって前記第１回転体の回転時に前記第２搬送体の駆動軸を駆動せしめる第２回転体とを具有し、紙幣一時保留部からの一時保留紙幣の送出時に前記第１搬送体および第２搬送体の双方を駆動するようにしたことを特徴とする。
【００１２】
こうしたことにより、一時保留部に集積された一時保留紙幣を集積崩れを生じることなく集積状態を保ったまま搬送することができる。
【００１３】
また第１搬送体と、移動する受台および第２搬送体のそれぞれに駆動手段を設ける必要がなく、それでいて一時保留紙幣の送出時には第２搬送体に駆動力が伝達されるので各搬送体にそれぞれ駆動手段を設けた場合のように駆動手段の制御が複雑化することがなく、さらには移動する受台側の駆動手段と固定位置側とを継ぐ配線の必要性がない。これらによりコスト高となる不具合も解消することができる。
【００１４】
請求項２は、一時保留部における紙幣の集積方向を上下方向とし、上部搬送体と下部搬送体とで一時保留紙幣を略水平方向搬送としたことにある。
【００１５】
こうしたことにより、紙幣の集積方向が上下方向であることによって紙幣集積時に立位姿勢による横方向集積の場合のように集積崩れが生じにくく良好な集積状態が得られ、また確実に上下方向に集積された集積紙幣を集積状態を崩すことなく保持して搬送することができ、これにより集積状態が保たれたままの一時保留紙幣の搬送が保証される。
【００１６】
さらに上部搬送体と下部搬送体とで一時保留紙幣を上下から挟持して搬送するので、その搬送部も略水平方向に略直線状に配置しやすく、集積状態を保持しての搬送を一層確実に行わせることができる。
【００１７】
また上部搬送体側と移動する受台および下部搬送体側との双方に駆動手段を設ける必要がないにも拘らず一時保留紙幣の送出時には下部搬送体に確実に駆動力が伝達されるので、上部搬送体側と受台および下部搬送体側とに各別に駆動手段を設けた場合のように駆動手段の制御の複雑さや移動する受台側の駆動手段と固定側とを継ぐ配線の必要性がなく、さらにはこれらに起因してコスト高になることを回避することができる。
【００１８】
請求項３は、一時保留紙幣を出金させるようにしたものであり、この場合においても前記請求項２の構成をベースとすることにより集積姿勢を乱すことなく出金口部へ送出することができる。
【００１９】
請求項４は、一時保留紙幣の出金に加え、その出金紙幣が取り忘れられた場合回収口部へ送られるようにしたものであり、この場合についても前述の請求項２の構成をベースとすることによって確実な出金または回収を図ることができる。
【００２０】
請求項５は、紙幣を出金する出金モードとは別に紙幣を所定枚数ずつ回収するバッチ回収モードの設定を可能とするもので、バッチ回収モード時は回収正規紙幣を回収口部へ搬送して集積し、また回収リジェクト紙幣は出金紙幣一時保留部へ搬送して集積し、回収口部から集積状態の回収正規紙幣が取り出されたことを条件に出金紙幣一時保留部に集積された回収リジェクト紙幣を、回収口部側に形成される機体内用リジェクト紙幣受収部へ搬送するようにしたものである。
【００２１】
このように出金紙幣収納繰り出し部の紙幣を直接回収口部へ取り出すことにより回収が容易にできる利便性が得られる。また回収正規紙幣と回収リジェクト紙幣を回収口部側と出金紙幣一時保留部側へ区分けして集積するので、集積を迅速かつ確実に行え、特に回収口部付近で回収正規紙幣と回収リジェクト紙幣との区分けを行い、その直後に集積するものでは区分け集積時の区分けミスや集積ミスが生じやすい点を解消することができる。
【００２２】
請求項６は、前記の第１回転体および第２回転体の結合時の接触位置を変位可能としたものであり、これにより組み立て誤差や経年変化による誤差が生じても下部搬送体に確実に駆動力を伝達させることができる。
【００２３】
請求項７は、前記第１および第２回転体を歯車構造としたもので、ベルトやローラによる場合と異なり、回転体の接触時にスリップすることなく確実に回転の伝達がなされるようにしたものである。
【００２４】
請求項８は、組み立て誤差や経年変化による誤差が生じても回転の伝達を確実に行わせるようにするために、前記第１回転体および第２回転体は互いに噛み合い連結可能な第１歯車および第２歯車とし、一定位置で回転駆動される第３歯車と、この第３歯車の軸を中心に揺動可能でかつ前記第１歯車を第３歯車と噛合状態を保持したまま第３歯車の所定周囲域を移動するレバーと、前記第２歯車が第１歯車に接触する向きに前記レバーを付勢する付勢手段と、前記第１歯車の下降移動を規制するため前記付勢手段の付勢によるレバーの揺動を規制するストッパとを備え、前記第３歯車の前記所定周囲域は前記第１歯車が第２歯車の上昇に備えて臨む第１位置から前記下部搬送体が最上昇するときの第１歯車の第２位置の範囲としたことにある。
【００２５】
請求項９は、前記受台および第２搬送体の前記第１搬送体に対する進出・後退移動を、この進出移動時における紙幣搬送に支障のない第２搬送体の搬送幅方向一側に位置する駆動機構と、この進出移動時における紙幣搬送に支障のない第２搬送体の搬送幅方向一側および他側の各ラックと、前記受台側の搬送幅方向に延びる軸の前記ラックに対応する位置におかれる各ピニオンとで行うようにしたことにある。
【００２６】
従来では、受台および第２搬送体を移動させる駆動機構は、紙幣搬送域の紙幣一面側の退避位置、特に受台と第２搬送体が退避移動する側の退避位置に設けており、具体的には、モータと、このモータの軸に固定される第１タイミングプーリと、別位置の第２タイミングプーリと、両プーリ間に掛け回されるタイミングベルトと、このタイミングベルトの所定位置に固定されるとともに受台が固定される受台支持枠とで構成されている。そして、受台上の一時保留紙幣の送出に支障のないよう考慮され、そのため、受台支持枠は非常に長くなっており、受台支持枠の基部がタイミングベルトに固定されていても、受台を固定する受台支持枠部分は常にタイミングベルト域から退避した位置、すなわち第２タイミングプーリから大きく離れた位置となる構成となっている。
【００２７】
上記従来構造では、紙幣搬送域の紙幣一面側の退避位置、特に受台と第２搬送体が退避移動する側の退避位置に大きいスペースを必要とし、機械が大型化してしまうという問題があった。
【００２８】
そこで、上記駆動機構を、紙幣搬送に支障のない第２搬送体の搬送幅方向−側に設けたものを試作してみた。この場合は、受台と第２搬送体が退避移動する側の退避位置に大きいスペースを必要とせず、この点では問題は解消し得たが、受台が受台支持枠に片持ち支持され、第１搬送体と第２搬送体で集積紙幣を挟着したとき、紙幣の搬送幅方向左右で挟着力が異なり、確実に搬送することができなかったり、搬送時に集積崩れを生じ易いという問題が生じた。
【００２９】
これに対し上記の請求項９の発明によれば、受台等の後退方向に大なるスペースを必要とせず、また受台と第２搬送体は、第１搬送体に対し、平行度を保ちながら進出、退避移動し、集積状態を保持したまま確実に集積紙幣の搬送ができる。
【００３０】
請求項１０は、受台および第２搬送体（下部搬送体）を受台支持枠に設け、この受台支持枠を移動させることにより受台と第２搬送体（下部搬送体）を移動させるようにし、特に紙幣集積位置にあるときには受台の受面が第２搬送体（下部搬送体）から突出した状態としてスムーズな紙幣の集積を可能とし、また紙幣挟着位置においては受台の受面より第２搬送体（下部搬送体）を突出させ、第１搬送体（上部搬送体）との間で確実な紙幣挟着をなし、また搬送時もスリップすることなく確実に行えるようにしたことにある。
【００３１】
ちなみに紙幣集積位置において、受台の受面から第２搬送体（下部搬送体）が突出している場合を想定すると、この第２搬送体（下部搬送体）は例えばベルトやローラであって、紙幣との間でスリップが生じにくいゴム、ウレタン等の材料で形成されているので、集積される最初の紙幣が第２搬送体（下部搬送体）と接触する際にスムーズに集積姿勢にはならず、途中で引っ掛ったり傾斜した姿勢になり、紙幣が揃った集積状態にならない。
【００３２】
この点請求項５の発明によれば、このような問題点を解消することができる。
【００３３】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明による紙幣出金処理機の一実施形態を図面を参照して説明する。図１は本発明による紙幣出金処理機の一実施形態の概要を示す略示断面図であり、特に紙幣の搬送系を示している。
【００３４】
機体１の内部には、図１および図８に略示するように出金用の２金種の紙幣を各別に収納する出金紙幣収納部２_１，２_２（本実施形態では２_１が千円紙幣用、２_２が万円紙幣用）が配設され、機体１の内部後方には補充、回収用の補充・回収紙幣収納部３が配設されており、この補充・回収紙幣収納部３は機体１内へ補充すべき補充紙幣の装填と、機体１内から繰り出される回収紙幣の受収集積を可能とし、この収納部３内への紙幣の装填、あるいはこの収納部３からの回収紙幣の取り出しを可能とするため、この収納部３の背面（図１の右側）は開口部３ａとされ、この開口部３ａを開閉する扉４が設けられている。そしてこの機体１の背面の扉４を開けることにより人手により紙幣の補充操作または回収操作が可能とされている。
【００３５】
上記出金紙幣収納部２_１，２_２の上部には一時保留部２ａ_１，２ａ_２が設けられている。
【００３６】
また上記補充・回収紙幣収納部３の上方位置には回収収納部５ａと出金リジェクト紙幣収納部５ｂが上下に配設され、各収納部５ａ，５ｂの間には仕切板６が上下動可能に設けられており、この仕切板６の水平姿勢のままで上下位置の切り替えによりその上部または下部に紙幣を受け入れるようになっている。すなわち図８において、回収収納部５ａに紙幣を集積するときは仕切板６を水平姿勢を保持したまま一点鎖線図示位置に位置させて紙幣を受収集積させる。また出金リジェクト紙幣収納部５ｂに紙幣を受収するときは仕切板６を水平姿勢を保持したまま二点鎖線図示位置に位置させて出金リジェクト紙幣の受収を行う。
【００３７】
上記各収納部５ａ，５ｂへの紙幣の受収が終了すると、仕切板６は実線図示位置へ復帰する。そして各収納部５ａ，５ｂの機体背面側は開口部５’ａ，５’ｂとされ、この部分には支軸７ｃを中心として水平姿勢となる扉７ａ，７ｂが設けられており、この背面の扉７ａ，７ｂを開けることにより人手により各収納部５ａ，５ｂ内の紙幣の回収ができる。
【００３８】
前記機体１の前面１ａの上部位置には出金口部８が開口され、その内部直近位置には詳細は後述するが出金時に紙幣を集積して一時保留する紙幣一時保留部９が設けられている。
【００３９】
前記機体１内には、各部間で紙幣を選択的に搬送するための搬送路１０ａ〜１０ｈ（図８参照）が配設されている。
【００４０】
上記搬送路のうち、補充・回収紙幣収納部３から前記各出金紙幣収納部２_１，２_２へ紙幣の補充を行うための搬送路１０ａの途中には、当該紙幣の金種等を識別する補充識別部１１が設けられ、この搬送路１０ａの基端側には補充紙幣収納部３から紙幣を１枚ずつ繰り出す補充繰り出し部１２（キッカローラ、フィードローラ等で構成され、後述の繰り出し部１５_１，１５_２と同じ構成）が設けられている。
【００４１】
そして補充・回収紙幣収納部３から繰り出される補充紙幣は、補充識別部１１を通り、搬送路１０ａをさらに図において左方へ進み、その左端位置で下方へ向かい、紙幣を分岐する搬送路１０ｂへ送られる。この搬送路１０ｂはその入口部に切換部Ｇ_１、その後流位置に切換部Ｇ_２，Ｇ_３が配設されている。
【００４２】
そして補充紙幣のうち補充識別部１１による識別の結果、正常な千円紙幣と識別されると、切換部Ｇ_１の切り換りにより一時保留部２ａ_１へ、正常な万円紙幣と識別されると切換部Ｇ_１，Ｇ_２を通じて一時保留部２ａ_２へ、それ以外の紙幣、すなわち補充リジェクト紙幣は切換部Ｇ_１，Ｇ_２，Ｇ_３を通過して後述する補充リジェクトボックス１４へ送られる。
【００４３】
前記補充・回収紙幣収納部３は内部に昇降可能なステージ１３を備え、この補充・回収紙幣収納部３の直下位置には機体１外へ引き出し可能な補充リジェクトボックス１４が設けられている。
【００４４】
この補充リジェクトボックス１４は、通常は機体１内に挿入した状態でロックされ、引き出し不能とされている。そして前記ステージ１３が前記補充・回収紙幣収納部３の収納空間の最下位置まで降下したときのみ前記ロックが解除され、手動で引き出し可能となる。この補充リジェクトボックス１４のロックおよびその解除の制御は後述する引出制御機構１３０（図１３示）により行われる。
【００４５】
一方、図１および図８において出金紙幣収納部２_１，２_２から繰り出し部１５_１，１５_２により繰り出される出金紙幣を前記紙幣一時保留部９へ搬送する搬送路１０ｃ（出金搬送路）の途中には、当該紙幣の識別および再識別可否の判定を行う出金識別部１６が設けられている。またこの出金搬送路１０ｃの終端側は切換部Ｇ_４により出金口側搬送路１０ｄと回収側搬送路１０ｅとに分岐されている。
【００４６】
このうち出金口側搬送路１０ｄは、出金搬送路１０ｃとの切換部Ｇ_４から前記出金口部８へ向かうと共に紙幣を切換部Ｇ_４側から出金口部８へ、また出金口部８側から切換部Ｇ_４側への両方向に搬送可能とされている。また回収側搬送路１０ｅは出金搬送路１０ｃとの切換部Ｇ_４から出金リジェクト紙幣収納部５ｂへ通じ、その回収搬送路１０ｅの途中の切換部Ｇ_５で分岐する搬送路１０ｆは前記搬送路１０ａに合流する形で接続されている。
【００４７】
さらに前記回収側搬送路１０ｅの切換部Ｇ_４とＧ_５との中間点の合流部１９と前記補充搬送路１０ａの切換部Ｇ_６との間は搬送路１０ｇにより接続されている。
【００４８】
なお、図１には出金搬送路１０ｃの一部として搬送路１０ｈが設けられている。この搬送路１０ｈは、出金搬送路１０ｃを構成しているベルト対群のうち末端のベルト対で構成される搬送路域を指称し、出金識別部１６域のベルト対の出口部に臨む始端から切換部Ｇ_４に至る末端までをいう。この搬送路１０ｈに関しての詳細は後述する。
【００４９】
次に本発明の主要部である紙幣一時補保留部９およびそれに関連する搬送系の詳細を図２〜図７を参照して説明する。
【００５０】
図示の実施形態は紙幣を上下方向に集積するようにした場合を示しており、その紙幣一時保留部９は、一時保留空間の上部に配設される上部搬送体２１（請求項１における第１搬送体に相当し、図１、図２、図５に示す）と、下部に配設される下部搬送体２２（請求項１における第２搬送体に相当）と、紙幣の一時保留時には集積位置におかれ集積終了時に前記上部搬送体２１に向けて上昇する受台２３とを有し、上部搬送体２１は、前記出金口側搬送路１０ｄと搬送路１０ｈと回収用の搬送路１０ｅとの駆動を司るモータＭ_５（図５、図９示）により駆動され、下部搬送体２２は一時保留紙幣を集積状態で搬送する際に上昇したとき前記駆動系からの回転を受けて従動回転するようになっている。
【００５１】
図１においてモータＭ_５が正転すると、出金口側搬送路１０ｄ（上部搬送体２１および駆動力が伝達された状態の下部搬送体２２で構成）は紙幣を図において左方へ送る向きに、また搬送路１０ｈは紙幣を上方へ送る向きにそれぞれ駆動される。
【００５２】
前記モータＭ_５の逆転時には、出金口側搬送路１０ｄは紙幣を図において右方へ送る向きに、また搬送路１０ｈは紙幣を下方へ送る向き（このときは搬送路１０ｈに紙幣は存在しない）に駆動される。
【００５３】
一方、このモータＭ_５と搬送路１０ｅを構成するベルト群との間には正転用および逆転用の各ワンウェイクラッチが介在されており、したがって前記モータＭ_５の正転時には一方のワンウェイクラッチは回転を伝達させないが、他方のワンウェイクラッチが働いて紙幣を図において右方へ送るよう搬送路１０ｅが駆動される。またモータＭ_５の逆転時には一方のワンウェイクラッチが回転を伝達し、他方のワンウェイクラッチは回転を伝達せず、この結果この場合にも搬送路１０ｅは紙幣を右方へ送る方向に駆動される。
【００５４】
前記受台２３を含む下部搬送体２２を昇降動させる昇降機構は、図２〜図４にその一例を示している。
【００５５】
これら下部搬送体２２および受台２３は、昇降駆動部２４により昇降する昇降フレーム２５上に支持されている。
【００５６】
上記昇降フレーム２５は、その一端にスライドブロック２６を有し、このスライドブロック２６は機体１側に立設されたガイドロッド２７にスライドベアリング２８を介して嵌挿され、所定のストロークの範囲を昇降自在とされている。
【００５７】
上記昇降フレーム２５の上面の左右部に軸受部２９，２９があり、これら軸受部２９，２９に回転自在に支持されるプーリー軸３０，３１，３２上の左右対をなすプーリー３３，３４，３５に左右一対のベルト３６，３６が巻装され、このベルト３６，３６間の中間位置のプーリー軸３０，３１にはプーリー３７，３８が固着されている。
【００５８】
前記プーリー軸のうち前後方向中間に位置するプーリー軸３１の両端部にはピニオン３９，３９が固着されており、これらピニオン３９，３９は機体１側に立設されたラック４０，４０に噛合されていて左右が傾くことなく昇降されるようになっている。
【００５９】
前記スライドブロック２６を昇降させる昇降駆動部２４は、図２および図３に示すように、モータＭ_７とこのモータＭ_７により回転するカム４１と、基端が機体１側に軸４２により枢支されたリンク部材４３とで構成され、このリンク部材４３の先端の長孔４３ａにスライドブロック２６のピン４４が嵌合されているとともにリンク部材４３の側面に枢支されたローラ４５が前記カム４１の周面に当接されており、このカム４１の回転でその低所４１ａにローラ４５が位置するとき昇降フレーム２５が下降位置におかれ、カム４１の高所４１ｂにローラ４５が移行するにつれて昇降フレーム２５が上昇するように構成されている。
【００６０】
図２、図３において４６，４７（図９の位置検知センサ群Ｓ_ｎの一部）は、カム４１の回転位置を検知してモータＭ_７の駆動を制御するセンサを示す。すなわち昇降フレーム２５、スライドブロック２６、一対のベルト３６，３６がモータＭ_７の駆動により一体的に上昇、下降する際に上昇位置と下降位置を検知し、モータＭ_７を停止させる働きを持つ。
【００６１】
前記受台２３は、前記ベルト３６，３６を含むプーリーと対応する部位が切り抜かれた板状のもので、前記昇降フレーム２５の上面に圧縮バネ４８，４８を介して水平に支持される。そしてこの受台２３はその上方からの無負荷時には図２、図４に鎖線で示すように下部搬送体２２（ベルト３６，３６）の上面より所定量上方に位置させ、昇降フレーム２５が上昇してもその途中まではその位置関係が保たれる。
【００６２】
この昇降フレーム２５が上昇位置より低い所定高さ位置まで上昇したとき、受台２３はその左右端部がストッパ４９，４９（後述する機枠６０，６０に形成された各逃孔の上縁）に当たって停止する。
【００６３】
昇降フレーム２５は上昇位置へ向けてさらに上昇を続けるが、受台２３は撓みながら圧縮されて行く圧縮バネ４８，４８のバネ圧を受けながら停止している。その結果、昇降フレーム２５と一体に上昇するベルト３６，３６はその上昇の途中で受台２３より上方に変位し、上昇位置に至ると所定量上方に突出した位置（図２の実線図示位置）となる。
【００６４】
上記において紙幣集積位置では受台２３の上面をベルト３６，３６の上面より所定量上方に位置させる理由は、集積される１枚目の紙幣が受台２３上をスムーズに滑り、確実に集積位置へ送り込むためである。仮にベルト３６，３６を受台２３の上面により所定量上方に位置させる位置関係（紙幣の搬送には不可欠）で、受台２３とベルト３６，３６を昇降フレーム２５上に位置を固定したとすると、ベルト３６，３６は集積紙幣を挟持搬送する働きをするので一般にウレタン等のスリップしにくい材質の材料が用いられ、そのため紙幣の集積時にベルト３６，３６が受台２３より上方に突出していると１枚目の紙幣が受台２３上にスムーズに滑り込めず、ベルト３６，３６と接触して抵抗を受け、引っ掛かったり傾斜姿勢になって集積不良の原因となるからである。
【００６５】
前記下部搬送体２２への回転伝達系は、図５〜図７に示すように、搬送路１０ｄ，１０ｅ，１０ｈ駆動用のモータＭ_５と、このモータＭ_５の出力軸上のプーリー５１から中間プーリー５２群を経由するタイミングベルト５３により回転される伝動ギヤ５４と、この伝動ギヤ５４の軸５５を中心として揺動自在に支持されバネ５６により図５において反時計方向に付勢されてストッパ５７により回動範囲が定められた揺動部材５８と、この揺動部材５８に軸支され前記伝動ギヤ５４に常時噛合する第１回転体としての第１ギヤ５９と、下部搬送体２２の後部側のプーリー３３，３３およびその中間のプーリー３７を支持するプーリー軸３０の機枠６０の一側から突出された突出端に固着される第２回転体としての第２ギヤ６１とで構成されている。
【００６６】
この第２ギヤ６１は、下部搬送体２２が上昇位置へ移動する途中の時点で第１ギヤ５９と結合可能な状態となる。なおここでいう結合可能な状態とは、モータＭ_５および第１ギヤ５９の回転駆動に備えた待機状態をいい、この実施形態では下部搬送体２２の上昇時に第１ギヤ５９と第２ギヤ６１との各歯山同士または各歯底同士が向き合ってその外周縁が接触する状態の場合、あるいは第２ギヤ６１および第１ギヤ５９の歯山と歯底が向き合ってそのまま噛み合い状態となる場合のいずれかをいう。このいずれの状態になるかは規則性がなく、ギヤの回転停止位置によって決まる。上記第１ギヤ５９および第２ギヤ６１に代えてローラまたはベルトとし、第１ローラ（またはベルト）と第２ローラ（またはベルト）とした場合は両者の圧接状態が結合可能な状態である。
【００６７】
下部搬送体２２は、前記第１ギヤ５９と第２ギヤ６１との結合可能状態を保持したままさらに上昇を続け、上昇位置に至って停止する。この時点でモータＭ_５および第１ギヤ５９の回転駆動に備えて待機完了状態となる。
【００６８】
上記第１ギヤ５９を揺動部材５８により移動可能に設けた理由は、それらに関連する機構（ベルト３６，３６、第１ギヤ５９、第２ギヤ６１、受台２３、昇降駆動部２４、昇降フレーム２５、スライドブロック２６等）の組み立て誤差、使用年月による摩耗等により第１ギヤ５９と第２ギヤ６１との結合可能状態になる高さ位置が変化することに対応するためである。
【００６９】
前記下部搬送体２２に対する上部搬送体２１は、下部搬送体２２を構成する一対のベルト３６，３６に対し上部から圧接可能に対向する一対のベルトで構成され、このベルトを張装する各プーリー群は図示しない各揺動レバーにより上昇可能に支持されるとともに図示しない引張りバネにより下方へ付勢され、各揺動レバーの下降限はストッパにより規定されている。
【００７０】
その結果、下部搬送体２２が下降位置にあるときは上部搬送体２１の下面（ベルトの下面）は出金口部８の紙幣載置面８ａより若干下方の定位置にある。そして下部搬送体２２が上昇位置に移動すると、その移動途中で下部搬送体２２（一対のベルト３６，３６）に載る集積紙幣の上面（集積紙幣が不存在のときは下部搬送体２２のベルト３６，３６の上面）が上部搬送体２１のベルトの下面に当接する。下部搬送体２２が上昇位置へ向けてさらに移動を続けると上部搬送体２１の下面は前記図示しない引張りバネと自重とによる付勢力により下部搬送体２２のベルト３６，３６との間で集積紙幣を強い力で挟みつける。
【００７１】
下部搬送体２２がさらに上昇すると、上部搬送体２１も集積紙幣を挟持したまま下部搬送体２２と一体となって移動し始め、下部搬送体２２が上昇位置に至って停止すると上部搬送体２１も集積紙幣を挟持したままその位置で停止する。なお上部搬送体２１の一対のベルトの下面のうち集積紙幣と接触しているベルト域は下部搬送体２２の一対のベルト３６，３６を基準として挟持厚み分だけ上方へ変位するが、集積紙幣と接触していないベルト域は上方への変位量が少ないことはいうまでもない。
【００７２】
次に前記モータＭ_５から上部搬送体２１としての一対のベルトへの駆動力伝達系について説明すると、図５において中間プーリー５２群のうちの１つの軸５２Ａにギヤ７０が固設され、これに噛み合うギヤ７１が軸７２に固着されており、この軸７２には伝達プーリー７３が固着され、この軸７２を中心にレバー７４が揺動自在に支持されている。
【００７３】
このレバー７４の先端には軸７５が回動自在に支持され、この軸７５に伝達プーリー７６、搬送プーリー１０ｄ−ｐが固着され、前記伝達プーリー７３と伝達プーリー７６との間には伝達ベルト７７が張装されている。
【００７４】
前記搬送プーリー１０ｄ−ｐは、上部搬送体２１としての一対のベルトを駆動するもので、上記一対のベルトに対応して軸７５に一対として固設されている。またこの搬送プーリー１０ｄ−ｐ，１０ｄ−ｐが紙幣の量に拘わらず前記一対のベルトの下部走行域の上面を押圧するよう、前記レバー７４が機枠との間に張設された図示しない引張りバネにより図において反時計方向に付勢されている。
【００７５】
なお搬送路１０ｅについても搬送幅方向に一対のベルトを備える構成とされ、上側および下側の各一対のベルトは圧接接触状態とされている。このうち下側の一対のベルトは一定位置におかれるのに対し上側の一対のベルトは上部搬送体２１と同様の支持構造（一対のベルトを張装するプーリー群、各揺動レバー、各引張りバネ、各ストッパ）により上方へ変位可能とされ、集積紙幣の搬送を可能としている。
【００７６】
図５においては、モータＭ_５が駆動されると第１ギヤ５９が回転する。この第１ギヤ５９の回転前の段階で第２ギヤ６１および第１ギヤ５９の歯山と歯底とが向き合って噛合状態となっていた場合は、第１ギヤ５９の回転で第２ギヤ６１は直ちに回転を始める。また第１ギヤ５９の回転前の段階で第１ギヤ５９と第２ギヤ６１との各歯山同士または各歯底同士が向き合ってその外周縁が接触していた場合には、第１ギヤ５９が歯の半ピッチ程度回転したところで第２ギヤ６１と第１ギヤ５９との歯山と歯底とが向き合って噛み合い状態となり、第１ギヤ５９の回転が第２ギヤ６１に伝達されて回転を始めることになる。これにより上部搬送体２１、下部搬送体２２は集積紙幣を挟持した状態で双方が駆動され、集積紙幣の搬送を行うことになる。
【００７７】
図９は紙幣出金処理機全体の制御ブロック図を示すもので、制御部１００を有し、この制御部１００には、機体１の前面の操作部１０１からの入力信号、上位機からの指令信号Ｐｘが入力されるようになっており、この指令信号Ｐｘが制御部１００へ入力されることを条件にこの処理機の諸操作が可能となる。
【００７８】
前記制御部１００には釦スイッチＤ_１１〜Ｄ_３１からの信号が入力されるようになっている。この釦スイッチＤ_１１〜Ｄ_３１は、図１０示の機体１の背面に設けられる単位回収釦Ｄ_１、補充釦Ｄ_２、回収釦Ｄ_３の釦操作に対応する単位回収モード信号、補充モード信号、回収モード信号を入力するもので、上位機からの指令信号Ｐｘ（単位回収モード、補充モード、回収モードの各モードにより異なる各指令信号）が入力されていることを条件にその信号入力が可能となる。
【００７９】
上記制御部１００により制御される表示ランプＬ_１〜Ｌ_４が設けられている。これら図１０において扉７ａの上縁側部に単位回収釦Ｄ_１、この単位回収釦Ｄ_１の近傍下部で扉７ａの側部に表示ランプＬ_１、この表示ランプＬ_１の下部で扉７ａの側部に表示ランプＬ_２が配設される。
【００８０】
上記表示ランプＬ_１は、出金取り忘れ紙幣（出金紙幣）が一部突出した状態で出金口部８へ投出されるが、顧客が取り出さず、その結果逆送されて回収部５ａに取り込まれる場合、あるいは単位回収紙幣が１枚ずつ連続して直接回収部５ａへ送られる場合に点灯し、紙幣が取り出されることにより消灯する。上記表示ランプＬ_１の点灯は、回収部５ａにある紙幣有無検知スイッチ（図９のセンサＳｎのうちの１個）が紙幣有を検知することによる。
【００８１】
前記表示ランプＬ_２は、出金モード時や回収モード時におけるリジェクト紙幣（出金リジェクト紙幣、回収リジェクト紙幣）が出金リジェクト紙幣収納部５ｂに存在するときに点滅し、出金リジェクト紙幣収納部５ｂのリジェクト紙幣が満杯になると点灯する。上記表示ランプＬ_２の点滅は、出金リジェクト紙幣収納部５ｂ内にある紙幣有無検知スイッチ（図９のセンサＳｎのうちの１個）が紙幣有を検知することによる。また表示ランプＬ_２の点灯は、補充リジェクト紙幣フルセンサ（図９のセンサＳｎのうちの１個）のフル検知による。そして出金リジェクト紙幣収納部５ｂからすべてのリジェクト紙幣が取り出されると、表示ランプＬ_２は点滅または点灯状態から消灯する。
【００８２】
前記扉４の側部には、補充釦Ｄ_２、補充・回収ランプＬ_３、回収釦Ｄ_３が配設され、扉４の下部に位置する補充リジェクトボックス１４の側部には補充リジェクトランプＬ_４が配設されている。
【００８３】
前記補充・回収ランプＬ_３は、補充または回収の指令信号Ｐｘの入力により点滅（補充は長い点滅、回収は短い点滅）し、補充釦Ｄ_２や回収釦Ｄ_３の操作に基づく補充モード時や回収モード時に点灯し、そのモードの終了で消灯する。
【００８４】
補充リジェクトランプＬ_４は、補充リジェクトボックス１４に補充リジェクト紙幣が存在する場合（図９のセンサＳｎの１個である補充リジェクト紙幣有無検知スイッチが紙幣有を検知したとき）に点滅し、補充リジェクトボックス１４の補充リジェクト紙幣が満杯（図９のセンサＳｎの１個である補充リジェクト紙幣フルセンサのフル検知による）になると点灯する。また補充リジェクトボックス１４を引き出して補充リジェクト紙幣をすべて取り出した後、再セットすると補充リジェクトランプＬ_４は消灯する。
【００８５】
再び図９において、制御部１００には、補充識別部１１、出金識別部１６、搬送路センサ群Ｓｍ、位置検知センサ群Ｓｎ（紙幣の有無、量の検知を含む）が接続されている。
【００８６】
またクラッチＣ_３（モータＭ_１の駆動力を補充繰り出し部１２へ伝達する作用を行う）、モータＭ_１（補充繰り出し部１２、搬送路１０ａおよび１０ｂの各一部の駆動用であり、搬送路１０ｂは切換部Ｇ_１から一時保留部２ａ_１への搬送路、切換部Ｇ_２から一時保留部２ａ_２への搬送路、切換部Ｇ_３から補充・回収紙幣収納部３への搬送路である。なお切換部Ｇ_３から補充・回収紙幣収納部３への搬送路の末端は、補充・回収紙幣収納部３への繰り込みベルト，プーリー，ローラが対向配置されるが、この紙幣繰り込みベルトとローラとは補充紙幣繰り出し時には図示しないガイドで被覆されて紙幣とは摩擦接触しないよう考慮されている。このガイドを進退移動させるソレノイドもここでは図示は省略してある）、モータＭ_２（搬送路１０ａおよび１０ｂの各残存部分、搬送路１０ｆ、搬送路１０ｇの駆動用）、モータＭ_３（一時保留部２ａ_１、２ａ_２の底板開閉用）、モータＭ_４（繰り出し部１５_１、１５_２、搬送路１０ｃの駆動用）、モータＭ_５（搬送路１０ｈ、１０ｅ、１０ｄ、上部搬送体２１、下部搬送体２２）、モータＭ_６（ステージ１３，引出制御機構１１０の移動用）、モータＭ_７（昇降駆動部２４、昇降フレーム２５の移動用）、モータＭ_８（仕切板６の上下動用）、ソレノイドＳＤ_１〜ＳＤ_６（切換部Ｇ_１〜Ｇ_６の切り換え用）がそれぞれ接続されている。なおこれらの制御と各部の駆動については動作説明時に併せて説明する。
【００８７】
図１１はクラッチに係る部分の説明図で、モータＭ_４の駆動時にクラッチＣ_１、Ｃ_２を通じて繰り出し部１５_１、１５_２の一方が選択的に駆動される。そのとき搬送路１０ｃも駆動状態のままにおかれる。
【００８８】
停止している一方の繰り出し部（１５_１または１５_２）と回転している搬送路１０ｃとが摩擦接触しないよう考慮されており、その部分を図１１に示している。
【００８９】
この図１１において、繰り出し部１５_１（１５_２）を構成するキッカローラ１５_１−１（１５_２−１）、フィードローラ１５_１−２（１５_２−２）、ゲートローラ１５_１−３（１５_２−３）が設けられ、このキッカローラ１５_１−１（１５_２−１）とフィードローラ１５_１−２（１５_２−２）はクラッチＣ_１（Ｃ_２）が通電されると駆動され、非通電になると定位置で停止される。クラッチＣ_３も全く同じ働きをする。
【００９０】
なお出金に使用可能なリジェクト紙幣（斜行紙幣等）の繰り出しが連続して例えば１０回発生したとき、そのリジェクト紙幣を一時保留部２ａ_１（２ａ_２）へ送るとともに、キッカローラ１５_１−１（１５_２−１）とフィードローラ１５_１−２（１５_２−２）および搬送路１０ｃ（但しモータＭ_４で駆動される部分のみ）を所定回正逆回転させ、その間に正常な紙幣繰り出しに復帰すると正転による正常繰り出しを続行する。
【００９１】
また所定回の正逆回転の間に正常な紙幣繰り出しに復元しないときは機械をダウンさせる。なおゲートローラ１５_１−３（１５_２−３）は、モータＭ_４の正転，逆転に拘わらず強制駆動されることはなく、軸にワンウェイクラッチを介して設けられ、常時紙幣繰り出し方向へは回転せず、逆方向へは自由回転するようにしてある。
【００９２】
フィードローラ１５_１−２（１５_２−２）が固定される軸１５_１−４（１５_２−４）には、フィード１５_１−２（１５_２−２）の左右外側に位置して一対のプーリー１０ｃ−ｃ，１０ｃ−ｃが軸受１０ｃ−ｃ_１，１０ｃ−ｃ_１を介して回転自在に支持される。そして搬送路１０ｃの左右一対のベルト１０ｃ−ｂ_１，１０ｃ−ｂ_１が前記一対のプーリー１０ｃ−ｃ，１０ｃ−ｃに掛回されている。
【００９３】
その結果、繰り出し部１５_１，１５_２が停止していても、自由回転軸受１０ｃ−ｃ_１，１０ｃ−ｃ_１を介して摩擦接触することなく一対のプーリー１０ｃ−ｃ、１０ｃ−ｃおよび一対のベルト１０ｃ−ｂ_１，１０ｃ−ｂ_１は回転駆動を続けることができるのである。
【００９４】
次に図１２を参照してモータＭ_５から搬送路１０ｄ，１０ｅ，１０ｈへの駆動力伝達系の構成を説明する。その前提として、図１においてプーリー１０ｄ−ｐは既述の通り上部搬送体２１としての搬送ベルトを押圧して強制駆動するプーリー、またはプーリー１０ｅ−ｐ_１は、搬送路１０ｅの上部側の搬送ベルトを下方から上方へ押圧して強制駆動するプーリー、プーリー１０ｅ−ｐ_２は、搬送路１０ｅの下部側の搬送ベルトを下方から上方へ押圧して強制駆動するプーリー、プーリー１０ｈ−ｐは、搬送路１０ｈの左側の搬送ベルトの右側を左方から右方へ押圧して強制駆動するプーリーである。なお搬送路１０ｈの右側の搬送ベルトは左側の搬送ベルトに押圧接触して従動回転する。
【００９５】
図１２において、モータＭ_５の出力軸に固定されるプーリー５１にはタイミングベルト５３（図５参照）が巻装され、プーリー１０ｄ−ｐ、プーリー１０ｈ−ｐへ駆動力が伝達される。またこの出力軸に固定されるプーリー５１Ａと駆動軸Ａ_１に固定されるプーリー１１０との間にはタイミングベルト５３Ａが巻装されている。その結果、タイミングベルト５３Ａ、駆動軸Ａ_１は、モータＭ_５の正回転により正回転（実線矢印方向回転）、モータＭ_５の逆回転により逆回転（一点矢印方向回転）する。
【００９６】
前記駆動軸Ａ_１の一端には、該駆動軸Ａ_１の正回転（実線矢印方向回転）のみを逆回転（一点鎖線方向回転）に変換して駆動軸Ａ_２に伝達するための一方向クラッチ１１１Ａが内蔵されたギヤ１１１が設けられている。
【００９７】
また前記駆動軸Ａ_１の他端には、該駆動軸Ａ_１の逆回転（一点鎖線方向回転）を駆動軸Ａ_２に伝達するための一方向クラッチ１１２が内蔵されたプーリー１１３が設けられている。
【００９８】
一方、上記駆動軸Ａ_２は、その一端に駆動軸Ａ_１のギヤ１１１と噛合するギヤ１１４が固着され、他端には駆動軸Ａ_１のプーリー１１３とベルト１１５で連繋されるプーリー１１６が固着されている。
【００９９】
その結果、駆動軸Ａ_２は、モータＭ_５の正回転，逆回転のいずれの場合も逆回転（一点鎖線方向回転）し、この駆動軸Ａ_２に一対のプーリー１０ｅ−ｐ_２，１０ｅ−ｐ_２が固着され、搬送路１０ｅの下側の一対のベルトに駆動力を与える。
【０１００】
また駆動軸Ａ_２の他端に固着されたプーリー１１７と駆動軸Ａ_３に固着されたプーリー１１８との間にベルト１１９が巻装され、駆動軸Ａ_３に固着されるプーリー１２０と支軸Ａ_４のプーリー１２１との間にベルト１２２が巻装されている。
【０１０１】
また駆動軸Ａ_５に、搬送路１０ｅの上部側の搬送ベルトを下方から上方へ押圧して強制駆動するプーリー１０ｅ−ｐ_１が固着され、その駆動軸Ａ_５の端部に前記ベルト１２２を上方から下方へ押圧するローラ１２３が固着されて該ベルト１２２の回転方向とは逆方向に回転されるようになされている。
【０１０２】
これにより、駆動軸Ａ５はモータＭ_５の正回転、逆回転かのいずれかの方向への回転（駆動軸Ａ_２の回転とは逆方向回転）をする。
【０１０３】
したがって搬送路１０ｅの上部側搬送ベルトおよび下部側搬送ベルトは、モータＭ_５の正回転、逆回転に拘わらず図１において右方向へ強制駆動される。なお上記モータＭ_５は、集積紙幣の搬送時には低速回転し、１枚ずつの搬送時には正、逆回転とも高速回転される。
【０１０４】
図１３は補充リジェクトボックス１４のロックおよびロック解除の制御、すなわち補充リジェクトボックス１４の引き出し可否の制御を行う引出し制御機構１３０の一例を示している。
【０１０５】
補充リジェクトボックス１４の引き出し幅方向外側壁（図１３において紙面表裏方向の表側の壁面）にはロックピン１４ａが固設され、このロックピン１４ａに対向する機体１側には支軸１３１を中心に揺動可能なロックレバー１３２が設けられている。
【０１０６】
このロックレバー１３２は、機体１との間に引張りバネ１３３が張設され、図１３において時計方向への回転力が付勢されており、機体１に設けられたストッパ１３４により揺動限が規制されている。
【０１０７】
ステージ１３の側部（図１３において紙面表裏方向の表側）には突起１３ａが設けられ、この突起１３ａは補充・回収紙幣収納部３の紙幣収納空間の側壁外に突出されている。
【０１０８】
前記ロックレバー１３２の前記突起１３ａの昇降軌道に臨む部位にカム面１３２ａが形成されており、また補充リジェクトボックス１４のロックピン１４ａの移動域に臨んでロック部１３２ｂが形成されている。
【０１０９】
図１３においてＳｎは、補充リジェクトボックス１４が機体１の正規の位置まで挿入されて装着されたことを検知する装着検知センサ（図９の位置検知センサ群Ｓｎのうちの１個）を示す。
【０１１０】
上記の引出し制御機構１３０は、補充・回収紙幣収納部３内の紙幣の繰り出し中に補充リジェクトボックス１４が引き抜かれることを防止する機能を果たす。
【０１１１】
すなわちステージ１３が図１３において一点鎖線図示位置まで最下降したとき、ロックレバー１３２も一点鎖線図示位置へ移動し、このロックレバー１３２のロック部１３２ｂがロックピン１４ａの移動域から退去する。その結果、補充リジェクトボックス１４は、機体１から人手により機体１の背部側（図１３において右方）へ引き出すことができる。
【０１１２】
引き出された補充リジェクトボックス１４内の補充リジェクト紙幣を取り出し、空になった補充リジェクトボックス１４を再び装着すると、装着検知センサＳｎが装着を検知したことを条件にステージ１３の上昇が可能となり、ステージ１３が上昇（傾斜姿勢のまま傾斜角度の方向へ直線的に上昇）すると、ロックレバー１３２が図１３において実線図示の位置に変位し、そのロック部１３２ｂでロックピン１４ａの移動を阻止し、補充リジェクトボックス１４の引き出しが阻止される。
【０１１３】
なお補充リジェクトボックス１４が引き抜き状態のままであるときは装着検知センサＳｎは働かず、したがってステージ１３の上昇用モータＭ_６も非作動のままにおかれる。またステージ１３の定位置は待機位置の図１３の一点鎖線図示位置（図１の実線図示位置）である。そして補充リジェクトボックス１４が装着されて装着検知センサＳｎがそれを検知していること、および補充リジェクトボックス１４内の補充リジェクト紙幣量が所定量になっていないこと（位置検知センサ群Ｓｎの１つであるフル検知センサがフル検知しないこと）等を条件にステージ１３の上昇が可能となる。
【０１１４】
次に上記実施形態の全体の作用について説明する。
【０１１５】
Ａ）補充モード
図９において、上位機から補充モードに関する指令信号Ｐｘが制御部１００に入力されると、補充・回収ランプＬ_３（図１０示）が「長い間隔の点滅」を繰り返し、補充に関する指令信号Ｐｘの入力を機械管理者または機械作業者（顧客ではない。顧客は機体１の前面側でのみ操作可。以下これらを機械管理者等という）に知らせる。
【０１１６】
なお補充・回収ランプＬ_３が「短い間隔の点滅」をしている場合は、上位機から回収指令信号Ｐｘが制御部１００に入力されたことを機械管理者等に知らせ、補充指令信号Ｐｘと区別する。
【０１１７】
補充リジェクトボックス１４は、そのときステージ１３が最下降位置にあるので自由に引き出すことができる。補充リジェクト紙幣が該ボックス１４内に存在する場合はその補充リジェクト紙幣を該ボックス１４から抜き出し、空となった補充リジェクトボックス１４を機体１に装着する。機械管理者等は中央精算所へ行き、補充リジェクト紙幣があるときはそれを精算所へ渡すとともに、補充紙幣として千円紙幣、万円紙幣を各３００枚ずつ受けとる。
【０１１８】
その紙幣を機体１まで持ち来たし、機体１の背面の扉４を開け、ステージ１３上へ計６００枚の紙幣を揃えて積載する。
【０１１９】
次に補充釦Ｄ_２を押すと図９に示すスイッチＤ_２１がＯＮとなり、制御部１００を通じてモータＭ_６が駆動され、ステージ１３が上昇して前記積載した重積紙幣の上面が補充繰り出し部１２に押圧され、その押圧状態が位置検知センサ群Ｓｎで検知されるとモータＭ_６が一時停止するとともにモータＭ_１、Ｍ_２が共に回転する。
【０１２０】
そのとき未だクラッチＣ_３は非励磁（一定時間経過後に励磁）であり、補充繰り出し部１２は停止しているが、この補充繰り出し部１２以降の搬送路１０ａおよび１０ｂ、１０ｆ、１０ｇはモータＭ_１，Ｍ_２の回転で駆動される。また補充識別部１１も識別可能となる。
【０１２１】
一方、表示ランプＬ_３が点灯状態となり、補充動作中であることを知らせる。また搬送路センサ群Ｓｍ、位置検知センサ群Ｓｎが作動可能な状態となる。そして切換部Ｇ_１、Ｇ_２、Ｇ_３に対応するソレノイドＳＤ_１、ＳＤ_２、ＳＤ_３が補充識別部１１への識別信号、搬送路センサ群Ｓｍに基づいてＯＮ、ＯＦＦの切り替えが可能となる。
【０１２２】
そのときクラッチＣ_３がＯＮとなり、補充繰り出し部１２が駆動され、紙幣の繰り出しが開始される。この繰り出しは、繰り出された紙幣が補充識別部１１で識別される都度、次の紙幣の繰り出しが行われるピッチとスピードとで繰り出される。
【０１２３】
また補充繰り出し部１２で紙幣が繰り出されることに応じて位置検知センサ群Ｓｎを通じてモータＭ_６が間欠駆動し、ステージ１３が所定量ずづ上昇して重積紙幣が所定圧で補充繰り出し部１２へ押し付けられ、紙幣の連続的な１枚繰り出しが続けられる。
【０１２４】
こうして繰り出された紙幣が補充識別部１１で千円紙幣と識別されると千円用の一時保留部２ａ_１へ、万円紙幣と識別されると万円用の一時保留部２ａ_２へ水平状態に集積され、それ以外の紙幣や２枚重なりの紙幣等のリジェクト紙幣は補充リジェクト紙幣として補充リジェクトボックス１４内へ水平状態で送り込まれて集積される。例えば補充識別部１１で千円紙幣がまず１００枚識別されるとクラッチＣ_３が非励磁となり、補充繰り出し部１２が一時停止し、モータＭ_６も一時停止状態となる。
【０１２５】
一方、、搬送路１０ａ、１０ｂ内の紙幣がその識別結果に応じた一時保留部２ａ_１、２ａ_２、補充リジェクトボックス１４に受収される時間を見越してモータＭ_１、Ｍ_２が停止する。
【０１２６】
次いでモータＭ_３が所定時間回転し、一時保留部２ａ_１、２ａ_２の一対の底板２ａ_１１、２ａ_１１、２ａ_２１、２ａ_２１が下方へ観音開きされ、各集積一時保留紙幣は各出金紙幣収納部２_１、２_２へ集積状態の底部上に積まれる。また各出金紙幣収納部２_１、２_２へ収納された紙幣枚数は制御部１００の記憶部に記憶される。
【０１２７】
モータＭ_３の継続回転により一対の底板２ａ_１１、２ａ_１１、２ａ_２１、２ａ_２１が閉じ、モータＭ_３が停止する。
【０１２８】
その直後にモータＭ_１、Ｍ_２の回転とクラッチＣ_３のＯＮ（励磁）とにより再び補充紙幣の繰り出し、補充識別部１１による識別、千円紙幣および万円紙幣の一時保留部２ａ_１、２ａ_２への一時保留集積、補充リジェクト紙幣の補充リジェクトボックス１４への収納が行われる。
【０１２９】
再び一方の一時保留部２ａ_１または２ａ_２が１００枚になると、前回と同様に補充繰り出し部１２がクラッチＣ_３のＯＦＦ（非励磁）で停止し、その後モータＭ_１，Ｍ_２が停止する。次いでモータＭ_３の回転で一対の底板２ａ_１１、２ａ_１１、２ａ_２１、２ａ_２１が開き、一時保留紙幣は各出金紙幣収納部２_１、２_２へ収納される。
【０１３０】
そのとき各金種用の一時保留枚数は制御部１００の記憶部へ加算され、各出金紙幣収納部２_１，２_２の各収納枚数合計値として前記記憶部に記憶される。
【０１３１】
同様にして補充・回収紙幣収納部１３内のすべての紙幣を出金紙幣収納部２_１，２_２、補充リジェクトボックス１４へ収納する。その収納が終了すると、補充・回収ランプＬ_３は消灯し、補充モードは終了する。
【０１３２】
また補充モードの動作途中で補充リジェクトボックス１４内の補充リジェクト紙幣の量が満杯になったときは、補充リジェクトランプＬ_４は点滅から点灯に移行する。
【０１３３】
一方、クラッチＣ_３の非励磁、搬送路１０ａ、１０ｂ内の紙幣が各一時保留部２_１、２_２、補充リジェクトボックス１４へ収納（満杯時であっても数枚の紙幣の収納は可能に設定）する時間経過後のモータＭ_１、Ｍ_２の停止、モータＭ_６の逆転によるステージ１３の最下降位置への移動がそれぞれに行われ、補充リジェクトボックス１４を引き抜いて補充リジェクト紙幣を取り出し、空になった補充リジェクトボックス１４を再度機体１にセットする。
【０１３４】
すると今度は補充釦Ｄ_２を押さずともステージ１３が上昇し、補充釦Ｄ_２の押圧がなされた場合と同様に補充モードが続行され、前述の動作を繰り返してステージ１３上のすべての紙幣が繰り込まれて補充モードが終了する。
【０１３５】
Ｂ）出金モード
まず顧客が図９における操作部１０１により出金額の入力、その額と受け取る権利者であることを証する証書の読み取りによる入力がなされる。
【０１３６】
この操作部１０１からの入力と上位機からの出金指令信号Ｐｘとにより各出金紙幣収納部２_１、２_２から紙幣の出金繰り出しが行われる。
【０１３７】
すなわちモータＭ_１，Ｍ_２，Ｍ_４，Ｍ_５（高速回転）が駆動され、搬送路１０ａ、１０ｂ、１０ｃ（１０ｈを含む）、１０ｄ、１０ｅ、１０ｆ、１０ｇが駆動される。またモータＭ_３は停止していて底板２ａ_１１、２ａ_１１、２ａ_２１、２ａ_２１は閉じた状態におかれている。モータＭ_８は所定時間駆動したのち停止し、仕切板６は図８の実線図示位置から二点鎖線図示位置まで上昇して停止し、出金リジェクト紙幣の受け入れに備える。モータＭ_７については、図２の実線図示位置から所定角度回転し、昇降フレーム２５が下降した位置に対応する位置で停止する。
【０１３８】
なおモータＭ_６は、補充モードと回収モードで使用され、出金モード時には使われないので停止状態のままである。また出金識別部１６、搬送路検知センサ群Ｓｍ、位置検知センサ群Ｓｎ、切換部Ｇ_１〜Ｇ_６を作動するソレノイドＳＤ_１〜ＳＤ_６も作動可能な状態になる。
【０１３９】
出金紙幣が２金種の両方である場合は、出金紙幣収納部２_１の方から、また１金種の場合はその金種の出金紙幣収納部２_１または２_２の紙幣を出金する。
【０１４０】
なお繰り出し部１５_１、１５_２は、キッカローラ１５_１−１、１５_２−１の１回転で１枚の紙幣が繰り出される関係に設定されている。
【０１４１】
具体例として、出金額が１５万８千円と仮定すると、まずクラッチＣ_１が励磁され、繰り出し部１５_１が駆動されて千円紙幣８千円分、すなわちキッカローラ１５_１−１が８回転分駆動される。その間に繰り出された紙幣は出金識別部１６で識別され、千円紙幣と識別された紙幣は搬送路１０ｄから紙幣一時保留部９へ水平姿勢で集積される。その時の受台２３は図２、図５の二点鎖線図示の位置にある。
【０１４２】
一方、出金識別部１６で出金に使用し得ないリジェクト紙幣と判断された出金リジェクト紙幣は、搬送路１０ｅから出金リジェクト紙幣収納部５ｂへ送り込まれて水平状態に集積される。
【０１４３】
また出金識別部１６で不具合い紙幣（斜行紙幣、異常接近紙幣等と判断されて再繰り出し可能と判断された紙幣）は、搬送路１０ｅから搬送路１０ｆへ分岐され、搬送路１０ａ、１０ｂを通って一時保留部２ａ_１へ送られる。そしてキッカローラ１５_１−１の８回転でクラッチＣ_１を一旦停止させる。
【０１４４】
上記のキッカローラ１５_１−１の８回転で正規の千円紙幣８枚が出金識別部１６で識別され、紙幣一時保留部９へ送られる場合は出金紙幣収納部２_１からの繰り出しは終了するが、正規の千円紙幣が例えば６枚と識別されるとクラッチＣ_１を再度励磁し、キッカローラ１５_１−１を２回転追加される。
【０１４５】
これにより２枚の正規の千円紙幣が識別されて紙幣一時保留部９へ収納されると、出金紙幣収納部２_１からの紙幣の繰り出しが終了する。それでも８枚の正規の千円紙幣の繰り出しに至らないときは、不足の千円紙幣の枚数分クラッチＣ_１を励磁させてキッカローラ１５_１−１を追加回転させ、８枚の正規の千円紙幣の識別がなされると出金紙幣収納部２_１からの繰り出しを終了する。
【０１４６】
次いでクラッチＣ_２が励磁され、出金紙幣収納部２_２から上記と同様な繰り出し方法により１５万円分、すなわち１５枚の正規の万円紙幣が繰り出されて出金識別部１６で識別され、紙幣一時保留部９へ集積状態で一時保留される。
【０１４７】
その途中で出金識別部１６が出金リジェクト紙幣と識別すると、その出金リジェクト紙幣は搬送路１０ｅから出金リジェクト紙幣収納部５ｂへ送り込まれ、水平状態で集積される。また出金識別部１６で不具合い紙幣と識別された紙幣は搬送路１０ｅから搬送路１０ｆへ分岐され、搬送路１０ａ、１０ｅを通って、一時保留部２ａ_２へ水平状態で集積される。
【０１４８】
なお図８に上記紙幣の流れを示しているが、図において実線は出金正規紙幣のルート、破線は出金リジェクト紙幣のルート、鎖線は不具合い紙幣のルートをそれぞれに示している。
【０１４９】
前記のように搬送路センサ群Ｓｍを通じて紙幣一時保留部９へ１５万８千円分の正規紙幣が揃えられて集積されたことが確認されると、モータＭ_１、Ｍ_２、Ｍ_４、Ｍ_５が停止し、搬送路１０ａ、１０ｂ、１０ｃ（１０ｈも含む）、１０ｄ、１０ｅ、１０ｆ、１０ｈが停止する。
【０１５０】
一方、モータＭ_７が起動し、カム４１が回動してその高所４１ｂでローラ４５を介してリンク部材４３を上方へ揺動させ、これに伴って昇降フレーム２５がガイドロッド２７およびプーリー軸３１のピニオン３９、３９とラック４０、４０との噛合により水平状態を保って上昇する（図２示）。
【０１５１】
昇降フレーム２５の上昇途中で受台２３はストッパ４９、４９に当ってそれ以上の上昇が抑えられ、これにより集積状態の一時保留紙幣は受台２３上から下部搬送体２２のベルト３６、３６上へ移載される。これと共に第２ギヤ６１が第１ギヤ５９に当接し、噛合可能な状態となる。
【０１５２】
受台２３および下部搬送体２２はさらに上昇し、図２および図５に示す位置でセンサ４６、４７によるモータＭ_７の停止により停止する。
【０１５３】
この下部搬送体２２の上昇途中で一時保留紙幣の上面が上部搬送体２１の下面に押し付けられ、紙幣の集積量に応じた量だけ上部搬送体２１が押し上げられて両搬送体２１、２２間に集積紙幣が狭持される。
【０１５４】
次いでセンサ４６、４７および他のセンサ（図９における位置検知センサ群Ｓｎ）によりモータＭ_５が低速回転し、上下の搬送体２１、２２により集積紙幣が出金口部８から一部が突出した時点でモータＭ_５の停止（図９における搬送路センサ群Ｓｍによる）により停止する。
【０１５５】
顧客が出金口部８から集積紙幣を引き抜いて受け取ることにより出金紙幣の支払いは終了する。
【０１５６】
それと共にモータＭ_７が再起動し、下部搬送体２２および受台２３は図２に示す下降位置に下がるとともにモータＭ_７が停止する。またモータＭ_３が起動し、一対の底板２ａ_１１、２ａ_１１、２ａ_２１、２ａ_２１が開き、不具合い紙幣を出金紙幣収納部２_１、２_２へ収納した後、各一対の底板２ａ_１１、２ａ_１１、２ａ_２１、２ａ_２１が閉じ、モータＭ_３が停止する。
【０１５７】
以上で出金モードは終了となる。
【０１５８】
なお、出金口部８から集積紙幣が所定時間経過しても引き抜かれない場合は、制御部１００を通じてまずモータＭ_８が起動し、仕切板６を下降させて図８の実線図示位置に位置させたのちモータＭ_８が停止となる。
【０１５９】
次に制御部１００を通じモータＭ_５が逆方向に低速回転し、集積状態のまま紙幣は搬送路１０ｄ、１０ｅを通って回収収納部５ａへ送られる。搬送路センサ群Ｓｍが集積紙幣の回収を回収収納部５ａへの収納により検知するとモータＭ_５が停止するとともに取り忘れ取り込み・単位回収表示ランプＬ_１が点灯する。
【０１６０】
機械管理者等は扉７ａを開け、取り忘れの出金紙幣を取り出す一方、その動作でモータＭ_３が起動し、一対の底板２ａ_１１、２ａ_１１、２ａ_２１、２ａ_２１が開き、不具合い紙幣が各出金紙幣収納部２_１、２_２へ収納されて出金モードが完了する。
【０１６１】
Ｃ）単位回収モード
単位回収モードとは、出金紙幣収納部２_１、２_２から１００枚単位で紙幣を回収するモードである。この場合、千円紙幣または万円紙幣のいずれかを１００枚、あるいは千円紙幣と万円紙幣とを組み合わせて１００枚のいずれであってもよく、上位機から制御部１００への指令信号Ｐｘによって決められる。
【０１６２】
ここでは前記指令信号Ｐｘが各出金紙幣収納部２_１、２_２からそれぞれ千円紙幣と万円紙幣を５０枚ずつ計１００枚を回収する場合について説明する。
【０１６３】
上記指令に基づいてまずモータＭ_８が起動し、仕切板６が図８の一点鎖線図示位置に移動して停止する。
【０１６４】
各出金紙幣収納部２_１、２_２からの紙幣の繰り出しと搬送は前記出金モード時と同じである。異なる点としては、回収リジェクト紙幣を紙幣一時保留部９へ一時保留することと、回収不具合い紙幣を一時保留部２ａ_１、２ａ_２へ受収し、処理の終了時に出金紙幣収納部２_１、２_２へ収納することなどである。
【０１６５】
すなわち出金紙幣収納部２_１から紙幣が繰り出され、出金識別部１６で正規の千円紙幣と識別された紙幣は搬送路１０ｅを通って回収収納部５ａへ送り込まれ、水平状態で集積される。その間に出金識別部１６で回収リジェクト紙幣と判断された紙幣は紙幣一時保留部９へ集積される。また出金識別部１６で回収不具合い紙幣と判断された紙幣は、繰り出された出金紙幣収納部２_１に対応する一時保留部２ａ_１に受収される。
【０１６６】
出金紙幣収納部２_１から繰り出されて識別された紙幣が正規の千円紙幣で５０枚になると、同様にして出金紙幣収納部２_２から万円紙幣の繰り出しに移行し、出金識別部１６により正規の万円紙幣であると判断されると回収収納部５ａへ、回収リジェクト紙幣は紙幣一時保留部９へ、回収不具合い紙幣は一時保留部２ａ_２へ受収される。
【０１６７】
合計１００枚の紙幣が識別され、正規紙幣と判断されて回収収納部５ａに収納（出金識別部１６と搬送路センサ群Ｓｍとによる確認）されると、モータＭ_１、Ｍ_２、Ｍ_４、Ｍ_５が停止する一方、モータＭ_８が起動して仕切板６が図８の実線図示位置へ上昇して停止する。
【０１６８】
一方、取り忘れ取り込み・単位回収表示ランプＬ_１を点灯させ、単位回収紙幣の取り出しを機械管理者等に促す。そして機械管理者等が扉７ａを開けて単位回収紙幣を取り出すと、前記ランプＬ_１は消灯する。
【０１６９】
次いでモータＭ_８が再起動し、仕切板６を図８の二点鎖線図示位置まで上昇させて停止する。
【０１７０】
次に出金一時保留部９の回収リジェクト紙幣を上部搬送体２１と下部搬送体２２とで挟着し、モータＭ_５の低速回転により両搬送体２１、２２が図１および図８の右方向に駆動され、回収リジェクト紙幣は搬送路１０ｄ、１０ｅを通って出金リジェクト紙幣収納部５ｂへ集積状態のまま受収される。
【０１７１】
出金リジェクト紙幣収納部５ｂに紙幣が収納されると、位置検知センサ群Ｓｎ（図９）の一つによりそれを検知し、モータＭ_５を停止させるとともにモータＭ_８を再起動させ、仕切板６を図８において実線図示位置まで上昇させて停止する。
【０１７２】
一方、モータＭ_３が起動し、各一対の底板２ａ_１１、２ａ_１１、２ａ_２１、２ａ_２１を開き、一時保留されている回収不具合い紙幣を各出金紙幣収納部２_１、２_２へ収納し、そのモータＭ_３を停止させる。
【０１７３】
Ｄ）回収モード
この回収モードも各モータＭ_１、Ｍ_２、Ｍ_４、Ｍ_５の駆動は他のモードの場合と同様であるので、他の異なる点のみについて説明する。
【０１７４】
図９において、回収モードに関する指令信号Ｐｘが制御部１００に入力されることを条件に機械管理者等が図１０の回収釦Ｄ_３を押すと、表示ランプＬ_３（図１０示）が点滅する。
【０１７５】
一方、図１および図８のステージ１３がモータＭ_６により上昇し、停止状態にある補充繰り出し部１２から所定寸法だけ下降した位置になる。
【０１７６】
また補充・回収紙幣収納部３の図１、図８における上部左側にある紙幣繰り込み口（切換部Ｇ_３近傍位置）の紙幣繰り込みベルト、プーリー、および対向するローラはこれらを被覆していたガイド（図示せず）が退避し、回収紙幣の繰り込みが可能な状態となる。この状態でモータＭ_８が起動し、仕切板６を図８の二点鎖線図示位置へ位置させて停止する。このときクラッチＣ_３は非励磁のままで補充繰り出し部１２は停止状態におかれている。
【０１７７】
次いでまずクラッチＣ_１が励磁され、出金紙幣収納部２_１内の、紙幣が一枚ずつ繰り出され、出金識別部１６で正規の回収紙幣か、回収リジェクト紙幣か、回収不具合い紙幣かが識別される。
【０１７８】
正規の回収紙幣は、搬送路１０Ｃ（１０ｈを含む）、１０ｅ、１０ｆ、１０ａ、１０ｂ、切換部Ｇ_３を通じてステージ１３上へ水平姿勢で集積される。このとき最上位の紙幣と補充繰り出し部１２との間に適正な間隔を保つよう、紙幣の回収枚数に応じてモータＭ_６を間欠的に逆転駆動し、ステージ１３を所定量ずつ下降させる。
【０１７９】
また回収リジェクト紙幣は、出金リジェクト紙幣収納部５ｂに受収する。さらに回収不具合い紙幣は搬送路１０ｃ（１０ｈを含む）、１０ｅ、１０ｆ、１０ａ、１０ｂ、切換部Ｇ_１を通じて一時保留部２ａ_１へ送られる。
【０１８０】
出金紙幣収納部２_１内のすべての紙幣が繰り出されたことを位置検知センサ群Ｓｎの一つが検知するとクラッチＣ_１が非励磁とされ、繰り出し部１５_１が停止する。次にモータＭ_３が起動して一対の底板２ａ_１１、２ａ_１１（２ａ_２１、２ａ_２１も同時に開く）が開いて一時保留紙幣が出金紙幣収納部２_１内へ収納される。
【０１８１】
次にクラッチＣ_１が励磁され、紙幣を再度繰り出し、出金識別部１６で正規の回収紙幣と判断されると補充・回収紙幣収納部３へ、回収リジェクト紙幣および回収不具合い紙幣は出金リジェクト紙幣収納部５ｂに受収される。
【０１８２】
こうして出金紙幣収納部２_１内のすべての紙幣の繰り出し、搬送、受収がなされると、クラッチＣ_１が非励磁になるとともにクラッチＣ_２が励磁され、万円紙幣の回収動作に移行する。
【０１８３】
この万円紙幣に関しても出金識別部１６で万円正規回収紙幣、回収リジェクト紙幣、回収不具合い紙幣に区分され、補充・回収紙幣収納部３、出金リジェクト紙幣収納部５ｂ、一時保留部２ａ_２のそれぞれに送られる。
【０１８４】
そして出金紙幣収納部２_２内のすべての紙幣が繰り出され、識別、搬送、受収が行われると、クラッチＣ_２が非励磁となり、繰り出し部１５_２を停止させるとともにモータＭ_３が起動し、一時保留紙幣を出金紙幣収納部２_２内へ収納する。
【０１８５】
次いでクラッチＣ_２が再度励磁され、出金紙幣収納部２_２内の紙幣が繰り出され、回収正規紙幣は補充・回収紙幣部３へ、回収リジェクト紙幣と回収不具合紙幣は出金リジェクト紙幣収納部５ｂへ受収される。
【０１８６】
次にモータＭ_８を起動させ、仕切板６を図８の実線図示位置へ移動させて停止する。またモータＭ_１、Ｍ_２、Ｍ_４、Ｍ_５（高速回転）を停止させる。
【０１８７】
一方、モータＭ_６は逆転方向に連続回転し、ステージ１３が図１、図８、図１３において最下降位置に移動して停止する。また補充・回収ランプＬ_３は、回収途中では点滅しているが、ステージ１３が最下降位置まで下がると点灯に切り替わる。そして機械管理者等が扉４を開け、回収紙幣のすべてを取り出すと上記ランプＬ_３は消灯される。
【０１８８】
出金リジェクト紙幣収納部５ｂについては、出金または回収リジェクト紙幣が存在するとランプＬ_２は点滅し、それらの紙幣が満杯になると点灯（この場合、紙幣を取り出さない限り機械は作動しない）し、仕切板６が図１、図８の実線図示位置に位置していることを条件に扉７ｂを開けて出金および回収リジェクト紙幣を取り出す。
【０１８９】
以上で回収モードは終了する。
【０１９０】
なお上記において単位回収モードあるいは回収モードで取り出した回収紙幣、回収および／または出金リジェクト紙幣は中央精算所へ持参して手渡す。
【０１９１】
なお図示の実施形態では、紙幣一時保留部における紙幣の集積方向を上下方向とした場合について示したが、紙幣を立位姿勢で集積するものであってもよい。
【０１９２】
また一時保留紙幣が所定量になると一時保留紙幣を集積状態で送出する時期は、出金紙幣である場合は操作入力される出金希望金額と実際に繰り出される出金一時保留金額が一致した段階でその一時保留紙幣が自動的に出金のために送出される態様、あるいは上記一致後の出金承認操作によって出金送出される態様のいずれであってもよい。
【０１９３】
紙幣の回収動作（回収モードまたは単位回収モードのいずれでもよい）は、機械を管理する係員、管理者等の操作で紙幣収納部内の紙幣を繰り出して識別し、一旦一時保留した紙幣を集積状態で回収部（機体後部側）へ送出することをいう。
【０１９４】
その送出時期は、回収したい金種紙幣が所定枚数（または所定金額）集積された時点で自動的に行う場合と、金種に関係なく所定枚数が集積された時点で自動的に行う場合と、自動でなくボタン操作で行う場合とのいずれであってもよい。
【０１９５】
第１搬送体（上部搬送体）および第２搬送体（下部搬送体）は、ベルト構造によるほかローラ構造、ベルトとローラとの組み合せ構造とすることができる。
【０１９６】
また受板の紙幣集積位置は、一定位置としてもよいほか、第１搬送体と一時保留紙幣上面との間に適切な間隔が空くよう一時保留紙幣量の増加とともに第１搬送体に対し離反させるよう制御するようにしてもよい。特に紙幣を立位姿勢で横方向へ集積させる場合は、紙幣が倒れずにかつ集積すべき紙幣がスムーズに進入することができる間隔が常に形成されるように第２搬送体を一時保留紙幣量の増加と共に第１搬送体に対し離反方向へ移動させるようにすることが望ましい。
【０１９７】
また特許請求の範囲の各請求項における「第１回転体と結合可能となって前記第１回転体の回転時に第２搬送体の駆動軸を駆動させしめる第２回転体」とは、「結合」の前段階である場合（図示の実施形態）の他に、ローラとローラの圧接によるもののように「結合状態そのもの」を含む。
【０１９８】
なお、本発明における第１切換部はソレノイドＳＤ_１と切換部Ｇ_１が、また第２切換部はモータＭ_８と仕切板６がこれに相当する。
【０１９９】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように本発明によれば下記の効果を得ることができる。
【０２００】
１）請求項１記載の発明によれば、一時保留部に集積される一時保留紙幣を集積崩れを生じることなく集積状態を維持したまま確実に搬送することができ、また第１搬送体側と、受台および第２搬送体側の双方にそれぞれの駆動手段を設ける必要がなく、それでいて一時保留紙幣の送出時には第２搬送体に確実に駆動回転を伝達することができ、そのため第１搬送体側と受台および第２搬送体側の両方に駆動手段を各別に設けた場合のように駆動手段の制御の複雑さがなく、受台の昇降駆動系と固定側とを継ぐ配線も不要であり、これらによりコストの大幅な低減を図ることができる。
【０２０１】
２）請求項２記載の発明によれば、一時保留紙幣の集積方向が上下方向であることにより、紙幣の集積時に立位姿勢で横方向に集積させる場合のように集積崩れが生じにくく、確実に上下方向に集積することができるとともにその集積状態を保持したまま上下の搬送体で所要の場所へ搬送することができ、一時保留紙幣の搬送を保証することができる。
【０２０２】
また上部搬送体と下部搬送体とで一時保留紙幣を上下から挟持搬送するので、搬送部も水平方向にほぼ直線状に配置しやすく、集積状態の紙幣をより確実に搬送することができる。
【０２０３】
さらに駆動系を簡素化し得る点については請求項１記載の発明と同様の効果が得られる。
【０２０４】
３）請求項３記載の発明によれば、出金紙幣の一時保留紙幣の集積方向が上下方向であることにより、出金一時保留時に立位姿勢で横方向集積の場合のように集積崩れが生じにくく、確実に上下方向に集積することができるとともにその集積状態を保持したままの出金一時保留紙幣を出金口部へ搬送することができる。
【０２０５】
また搬送部の構成、駆動系の構成の簡素化が図れることは前記請求項１、２記載の発明と同様である。
【０２０６】
４）請求項４記載の発明によれば、上下方向に集積された出金一時保留紙幣を集積状態を保持したまま出金口部へ搬送することができ、かつその出金一時保留紙幣を集積状態のまま出金口部に一部突出した状態で保持するので取り出しやすく、また出金紙幣の取り忘れがあったときは集積状態のまま逆送して回収部へ搬送するので高能率に処理することができる。
【０２０７】
なお搬送部の構成、駆動系の構成の簡素化が図れることに関しては前記請求項１、２、３記載の発明と同様である。
【０２０８】
５）請求項５記載の発明によれば、出金紙幣収納繰り出し部の紙幣を直接回収部へ搬送するバッチ回収モードを可能とし、回収の容易化を図ることができるとともに、搬送系をコンパクトに構成することができる。
【０２０９】
６）請求項６記載の発明によれば、組み立て誤差や経年変化による誤差が生じても下部搬送体への回転の伝達を確実に行わせることができる。
【０２１０】
７）請求項７および８記載の発明によれば、第１回転体と第２回転体との間でスリップを生じることがなく、下部搬送体への回転の伝達をより確実に行わせることができる。
【０２１１】
８）請求項９記載の発明によれば、受台の後退方向に大きいスペースを必要とせず、かつ受台と第２搬送体は第１搬送体に対し平行度を保ちながら進退移動するので、集積状態を保持したままで集積紙幣を確実に搬送することができる。
【０２１２】
９）請求項１０記載の発明によれば、紙幣の集積時に第２搬送体（下部搬送体）に接触することなく受台上にスムーズに集積させることができ、また集積紙幣の搬送時には第１および第２搬送体（上部搬送体および下部搬送体）で集積紙幣を挟持して搬送するので確実な搬送ができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a banknote dispensing machine such as a banknote dispensing machine, banknote depositing / dispensing machine, circulation banknote depositing / dispensing machine, etc., and in particular, accepts banknotes to be conveyed and temporarily holds them in an accumulated state. The present invention relates to a banknote withdrawal processing machine including a banknote temporary storage unit that sends out temporarily stored banknotes in a stacked state when the banknotes reach a predetermined amount.
[0002]
[Prior art]
An example of a conventional banknote dispensing machine of the above kind is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-90323.
[0003]
The bill temporary storage part in this processing machine is provided in an upper carrier, a receiving base that is positioned downward when the temporarily storing banknotes are stacked and that rises at the end of stacking, and protrudes from the receiving surface of the receiving base. The lower transport body that rises when the cradle rises and sandwiches the temporarily held banknotes stacked with the upper transport body, and the upper transport when sending the temporarily stored banknotes stacked from the banknote temporary storage section It is comprised with the drive means which rotationally drives a body to a banknote delivery direction.
[0004]
The lower transport body of the banknote temporary storage unit is configured by a roller that is rotatably supported by the cradle, and the upper transport body rotates when the temporary banknote is sandwiched and transported between the upper transport body and the lower transport body. When driven, the temporarily held banknotes follow and move on the lower conveyance body, and the rollers of the lower conveyance body follow and rotate at that time.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the above conventional structure, when the stacked banknotes have good adhesion and there is no slip between the banknotes, there is no special problem because the banknotes are conveyed while maintaining the stacked state. When the adhesiveness is poor and the bills are likely to slip, the accumulated state of the bills collapses, and for example, it may be conveyed in a sashimi state.
[0006]
In such a case, if it is determined that the banknotes are abnormally conveyed, the machine will be down and the work will be hindered.
[0007]
Even if it is not determined that the conveyance is abnormal, the following various problems are caused. That is, in the case of a withdrawal banknote, the operator must take out the banknote that has been collapsed from the withdrawal opening, and is required to realign the banknote after taking out the banknote.
[0008]
The same applies to banknotes forgotten to withdraw money. That is, in the case of banknotes forgotten to withdraw money, it is sent from the withdrawal port to the collection port via the banknote temporary storage unit, and when it is held in a state where a part protrudes from this collection port, the state of accumulation collapses. I will be left.
[0009]
In this case as well, the manager or operator of the machine has to take out the banknotes that have collapsed from the collection port, and are forced to rearrange the banknotes after being taken out.
[0010]
This invention pays attention to the problem of the said prior art, and made it the subject to be able to send out the temporarily hold | maintained banknote of a banknote temporary storage part, hold | maintaining, without destroying an accumulation state.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As means for solving the above-mentioned problems, the present invention, particularly the first invention, stores banknotes in a stacked state, and feeds the banknote storage and feeding section that feeds out the frontmost banknotes one by one, and the banknotes fed out from the feeding section. This temporary holding unit has a transport unit and a banknote temporary storage unit that accepts banknotes transported by the transport unit and temporarily holds them in a stacked state, and sends out the temporarily stored banknotes in a stacked state when a predetermined number of sheets are stored. Includes a first transport body provided at a position on one side of the banknote surface, a cradle that is placed at a stacking position when stacking temporarily held banknotes and moves toward the first transport body when stacking is completed, and A second carrier that is provided so as to protrude from the receiving surface of the table and that advances when the table is advanced to sandwich the temporarily held banknotes with the first carrier; Send out banknotes A banknote dispensing processor having a driving means for rotating the first transport body in the banknote delivery direction for providing rotation in the banknote delivery direction on the second transport body side. The first rotating body and the second transport body provided on the drive shaft of the second transport body, when the second transport body presses the temporarily stored banknotes in the stacked state against the first transport body by the movement in the advance direction of the cradle A second rotating body that can be coupled to the first rotating body and that drives the drive shaft of the second transport body when the first rotating body rotates, and is used to send a temporarily stored banknote from the banknote temporary storage section Both the first transport body and the second transport body are driven.
[0012]
In this way, the temporarily stored banknotes stacked in the temporary storage unit can be transported while maintaining the stacked state without causing collapse.
[0013]
In addition, it is not necessary to provide driving means for each of the first transport body, the moving cradle and the second transport body, and the driving force is transmitted to the second transport body when the temporarily stored banknote is sent out. The control of the driving means is not complicated as in the case where the driving means are provided, and there is no need for wiring connecting the moving driving means on the receiving base and the fixed position side. Thus, it is possible to solve the problem of high cost.
[0014]
Claim 2 is that the stacking direction of the banknotes in the temporary storage unit is the vertical direction, and the temporary storage banknotes are transported in a substantially horizontal direction by the upper transport body and the lower transport body.
[0015]
As a result, the stacking direction of the banknotes is up and down, so that when stacking banknotes, the stacking direction is less likely to occur, as in the case of lateral stacking in a standing position. The collected banknotes can be held and transported without destroying the stacked state, thereby ensuring the transport of the temporarily held banknotes while maintaining the stacked state.
[0016]
Furthermore, since the temporarily held banknotes are sandwiched and transported by the upper transport body and the lower transport body from above and below, it is easy to arrange the transport section in a substantially straight line in a substantially horizontal direction, thereby further ensuring the transport while maintaining the accumulation state. Can be done.
[0017]
In addition, although it is not necessary to provide driving means on both the upper carrier side, the moving cradle and the lower carrier side, the driving force is reliably transmitted to the lower carrier when the temporarily held banknotes are sent. There is no complexity of control of the driving means as in the case where separate driving means are provided on the body side, the cradle and the lower carrier side, and there is no need for wiring to connect the moving driving means on the cradle side to the fixed side. Therefore, it is possible to avoid an increase in cost due to these.
[0018]
According to a third aspect of the present invention, the temporarily held banknotes are withdrawn, and in this case as well, by using the configuration of the second aspect as a base, it is possible to send the bills to the withdrawal port without disturbing the stacking posture. it can.
[0019]
The fourth aspect of the invention is such that, in addition to the withdrawal of the temporarily held banknote, when the withdrawal banknote is forgotten to be taken, it is sent to the collection port part. Thus, reliable withdrawal or collection can be achieved.
[0020]
According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to set a batch recovery mode for collecting a predetermined number of banknotes separately from the withdrawal mode for withdrawing banknotes. The collected rejected banknotes are transported to the withdrawal banknote temporary storage unit and accumulated, and are collected in the withdrawal banknote temporary storage unit on condition that the collected regular banknotes are collected from the collection port. The collected reject banknote is conveyed to a reject banknote receiving unit for the machine body formed on the collection port side.
[0021]
Thus, the convenience which can collect | recover easily is acquired by taking out the banknote of a withdrawal banknote accommodation | feeding-out part directly to a collection | recovery opening part. In addition, the collection regular banknotes and the collection reject banknotes are divided and collected into the collection mouth side and the withdrawal banknote temporary storage part side, so that the collection can be performed quickly and surely, especially in the vicinity of the collection mouth part. In the case of stacking immediately after that, it is possible to eliminate the point that sorting mistakes and stacking mistakes are likely to occur at the time of sorting and stacking.
[0022]
According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, the contact position when the first rotating body and the second rotating body are coupled can be displaced, and thus, even if an assembly error or an error due to secular change occurs, A driving force can be transmitted.
[0023]
According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, the first and second rotating bodies have a gear structure, and unlike the case of using a belt or a roller, rotation can be reliably transmitted without slipping when the rotating body contacts. It is.
[0024]
In order to ensure transmission of rotation even if an assembly error or an error due to aging occurs, the first rotating body and the second rotating body can mesh with each other and be connected to each other. The second gear is a third gear that is rotationally driven at a fixed position, and the third gear is swingable about the axis of the third gear, and the first gear is held in mesh with the third gear. A lever that moves in a predetermined peripheral area; an urging means that urges the lever in a direction in which the second gear contacts the first gear; and an urging means that restricts the downward movement of the first gear. And a stopper for restricting the lever from swinging due to the force, and the lower conveyance body rises up most from the first position where the first gear faces the second gear ascending in the predetermined peripheral area of the third gear. When the range of the second position of the first gear
[0025]
According to a ninth aspect of the present invention, the advancing / retreating movement of the cradle and the second conveying body relative to the first conveying body is located on one side in the conveying width direction of the second conveying body that does not interfere with the bill conveyance during the advancing movement. Corresponding to the drive mechanism, the racks on the one side and the other side of the transport width direction of the second transport body that do not hinder the bill transport during the advance movement, and the rack of the shaft extending in the transport width direction on the receiving side This is done with each pinion placed in position.
[0026]
Conventionally, the drive mechanism for moving the cradle and the second transport body is provided at the retreat position on the one side of the banknote in the banknote transport area, particularly at the retreat position on the side where the cradle and the second transport body are retreated. Specifically, a motor, a first timing pulley fixed to the shaft of the motor, a second timing pulley at a different position, a timing belt wound around both pulleys, and fixed at a predetermined position of the timing belt And a cradle support frame to which the cradle is fixed. In addition, it is considered that there is no hindrance to the delivery of the temporarily held banknotes on the cradle, so that the cradle support frame is very long, and even if the base of the cradle support frame is fixed to the timing belt, The cradle support frame portion for fixing the pedestal is always in a position retracted from the timing belt region, that is, a position far away from the second timing pulley.
[0027]
In the above conventional structure, there is a problem that a large space is required in the retreat position on the one side of the banknote in the banknote transport area, particularly on the retreat position on the side where the cradle and the second transport body retreat, and the machine becomes large. .
[0028]
Then, it tried making what prototype provided the said drive mechanism in the conveyance width direction-side of the 2nd conveyance body which does not have trouble in banknote conveyance. In this case, a large space is not required at the retreat position on the side where the cradle and the second transport body are evacuated, and the problem can be solved in this respect, but the cradle is cantilevered by the cradle support frame. When the stacked banknotes are sandwiched between the first transport body and the second transport body, the sandwiching force differs between the left and right in the transport width direction of the banknotes, and the problem is that the transport cannot be reliably performed or the stacking collapse is likely to occur during transport. Occurred.
[0029]
On the other hand, according to the above invention of claim 9, a large space in the backward direction of the cradle or the like is not required, and the cradle and the second transport body maintain parallelism with respect to the first transport body. Thus, the banknotes can be advanced and retracted, and the stacked banknotes can be reliably conveyed while maintaining the stacked state.
[0030]
According to the tenth aspect, the cradle and the second transport body (lower transport body) are provided on the cradle support frame, and the cradle and the second transport body (lower transport body) are moved by moving the cradle support frame. In particular, when the bank is in the banknote stacking position, the receiving surface of the cradle protrudes from the second transport body (lower transport body) to enable smooth stacking of banknotes. The second transport body (lower transport body) protrudes from the surface to securely clamp the bills with the first transport body (upper transport body), and can be reliably carried out without slipping during transport. There is.
[0031]
By the way, assuming that the second transport body (lower transport body) protrudes from the receiving surface of the cradle at the banknote stacking position, the second transport body (lower transport body) is, for example, a belt or a roller. Are made of materials such as rubber, urethane, etc., which do not easily slip between them, so that when the first banknote to be stacked comes into contact with the second transport body (lower transport body), it will not smoothly stack , It will be caught in the middle or inclined, and will not be in a stacked state with banknotes.
[0032]
According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, such a problem can be solved.
[0033]

[0049]
Next, the details of the temporary bill storage / holding unit 9 and the transport system related to it will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0050]
The illustrated embodiment shows a case in which banknotes are stacked in the vertical direction, and the banknote temporary storage section 9 is an upper transport body 21 (first in claim 1) disposed in the upper part of the temporary storage space. 1, 2, and 5), a lower transport body 22 (corresponding to the second transport body in claim 1) disposed in the lower portion, and a stacking position when temporarily storing banknotes The upper carrier 21 has a cradle 23 that rises toward the upper carrier 21 at the end of accumulation, and the upper carrier 21 includes the withdrawal port side conveyance path 10d, the conveyance path 10h, and the collection conveyance path 10e. Motor M ₅ Driven by (shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 9), the lower carrier 22 is rotated in response to rotation from the drive system when it is raised when transporting temporarily held banknotes in a stacked state.
[0051]
In FIG. 1, motor M ₅ Is forwardly rotated, the dispensing port side conveyance path 10d (consisting of the upper conveyance body 21 and the lower conveyance body 22 in a state where the driving force is transmitted) is directed to send bills to the left in the figure, and the conveyance path 10h is Driven in the direction of sending the bills upward.
[0052]
Motor M ₅ At the time of reverse rotation, the withdrawal port side conveyance path 10d is driven in a direction to send the banknote to the right in the figure, and the conveyance path 10h is driven in a direction to send the banknote downward (in this case, there is no banknote in the conveyance path 10h). The
[0053]
On the other hand, this motor M ₅ And the belt group constituting the conveyance path 10e are interleaved with respective one-way clutches for forward rotation and reverse rotation. ₅ At the time of normal rotation, one one-way clutch does not transmit the rotation, but the other one-way clutch works to drive the conveyance path 10e so as to send the bills to the right in the drawing. Motor M ₅ During the reverse rotation, one of the one-way clutches transmits the rotation, and the other one-way clutch does not transmit the rotation. As a result, in this case as well, the transport path 10e is driven in the direction of feeding the bills to the right.
[0054]
An example of an elevating mechanism for elevating and lowering the lower carrier 22 including the cradle 23 is shown in FIGS.
[0055]
The lower carrier 22 and the cradle 23 are supported on a lifting frame 25 that is lifted and lowered by a lifting drive unit 24.
[0056]
The elevating frame 25 has a slide block 26 at one end thereof. The slide block 26 is fitted and inserted into a guide rod 27 erected on the side of the machine body 1 via a slide bearing 28 so as to elevate and lower a predetermined stroke range. It is supposed to be free.
[0057]
There are bearing portions 29, 29 on the left and right portions of the upper surface of the lifting frame 25, and pulleys 33, 34, 35 forming a pair on the left and right on the pulley shafts 30, 31, 32 rotatably supported by the bearing portions 29, 29. A pair of left and right belts 36 and 36 are wound around the pulleys, and pulleys 37 and 38 are fixed to pulley shafts 30 and 31 at intermediate positions between the belts 36 and 36.
[0058]
Pinions 39, 39 are fixed to both ends of the pulley shaft 31 located in the middle in the front-rear direction of the pulley shafts, and these pinions 39, 39 are meshed with racks 40, 40 erected on the body 1 side. It can be lifted up and down without tilting left and right.
[0059]
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the elevating drive unit 24 that elevates and lowers the slide block 26 includes a motor M. ₇ And this motor M ₇ And a link member 43 whose base end is pivotally supported by a shaft 42 on the side of the machine body 1, and a pin 44 of the slide block 26 is fitted into a long hole 43 a at the tip of the link member 43. The roller 45 pivotally supported on the side surface of the link member 43 is in contact with the peripheral surface of the cam 41. When the roller 45 is positioned at the lower portion 41a by the rotation of the cam 41, the elevating frame 25 is moved. The elevating frame 25 is configured to move upward as the roller 45 moves to the height 41b of the cam 41 at the lowered position.
[0060]
2 and 3, 46 and 47 (position detection sensor group S in FIG. 9). _n Part of the motor M detects the rotational position of the cam 41 and ₇ The sensor which controls the drive of is shown. That is, the elevating frame 25, the slide block 26, and the pair of belts 36, 36 are connected to the motor M. ₇ When the ascending and descending is integrally performed by driving, the ascending position and the descending position are detected, and the motor M ₇ Has the function of stopping.
[0061]
The cradle 23 is a plate-like part in which a portion corresponding to the pulley including the belts 36 and 36 is cut out, and is supported horizontally on the upper surface of the elevating frame 25 via compression springs 48 and 48. When no load is applied from above, the cradle 23 is positioned a predetermined amount above the upper surface of the lower carrier 22 (belts 36, 36) as shown by the chain lines in FIGS. However, the positional relationship is maintained until halfway.
[0062]
When the elevating frame 25 is raised to a predetermined height position lower than the raised position, the left and right ends of the cradle 23 are stoppers 49 and 49 (upper edges of respective escape holes formed in machine frames 60 and 60 described later). To stop.
[0063]
The elevating frame 25 continues to rise further toward the raised position, but the cradle 23 stops while receiving the spring pressure of the compression springs 48 and 48 that are compressed while being bent. As a result, the belts 36 and 36 that rise integrally with the lifting frame 25 are displaced upward from the receiving base 23 in the middle of the raising, and protrude upward by a predetermined amount when reaching the raised position (the position indicated by the solid line in FIG. 2). It becomes.
[0064]
The reason why the upper surface of the cradle 23 is positioned a predetermined amount above the upper surfaces of the belts 36 and 36 at the banknote stacking position is that the first banknote to be stacked slides smoothly on the cradle 23 and is reliably stacked. This is to send it to. Assuming that the positions of the cradle 23 and the belts 36 and 36 are fixed on the elevating frame 25 in a positional relationship in which the belts 36 and 36 are positioned above the upper surface of the cradle 23 by a predetermined amount (essential for the conveyance of banknotes). Since the belts 36 and 36 serve to sandwich and convey the stacked banknotes, generally, a material such as urethane that does not easily slip is used. Therefore, when the banknotes are stacked, the belts 36 and 36 protrude above the cradle 23. This is because the first banknote does not slide smoothly on the cradle 23 and comes into contact with the belts 36 and 36 to receive resistance and become stuck or inclined to cause a stacking failure.
[0065]
As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the rotation transmission system to the lower conveyance body 22 includes a motor M for driving the conveyance paths 10 d, 10 e, and 10 h. ₅ And this motor M ₅ A transmission gear 54 rotated by a timing belt 53 passing through a group of intermediate pulleys 52 from a pulley 51 on the output shaft of the output shaft, and supported by a spring 56 so as to be swingable about a shaft 55 of the transmission gear 54. A swinging member 58 that is urged clockwise and whose rotation range is determined by a stopper 57, and a first gear 59 as a first rotating body that is pivotally supported by the swinging member 58 and constantly meshes with the transmission gear 54. And a second rotating body fixed to a protruding end protruding from one side of the machine frame 60 of the pulley shaft 30 supporting the pulleys 33, 33 on the rear side of the lower conveyance body 22 and the pulley 37 in the middle thereof. 2 gears 61.
[0066]
The second gear 61 can be coupled to the first gear 59 when the lower transport body 22 is moving to the raised position. Here, the connectable state means the motor M ₅ In this embodiment, the tooth crests of the first gear 59 and the second gear 61 or the tooth bottoms face each other when the lower carrier 22 is raised. This is either the case where the outer peripheral edge is in contact, or the case where the tooth crests and the tooth bottoms of the second gear 61 and the first gear 59 face each other and become in mesh. There is no regularity in which of these states, and it depends on the rotation stop position of the gear. When the first gear 59 and the second gear 61 are replaced with a roller or a belt, and the first roller (or belt) and the second roller (or belt) are used, the pressure contact state between them can be combined.
[0067]
The lower conveyance body 22 continues to rise while maintaining the connectable state of the first gear 59 and the second gear 61, reaches the raised position, and stops. At this point, motor M ₅ And, in preparation for the rotational drive of the first gear 59, it becomes a standby completion state.
[0068]
The reason why the first gear 59 is movably provided by the swinging member 58 is that the mechanisms (belts 36 and 36, the first gear 59, the second gear 61, the cradle 23, the elevating drive unit 24, the elevating and lowering mechanism) related thereto. This is to cope with a change in the height position at which the first gear 59 and the second gear 61 can be coupled due to an assembly error of the frame 25, the slide block 26, and the like, wear due to years of use, and the like.
[0069]
The upper transport body 21 with respect to the lower transport body 22 is composed of a pair of belts 36 that oppose the pair of belts 36, 36 constituting the lower transport body 22 so as to be press-contactable from above, and each pulley group that stretches the belt. Is supported by each swing lever (not shown) so as to be lifted and biased downward by a tension spring (not shown), and the lower limit of each swing lever is defined by a stopper.
[0070]
As a result, when the lower transport body 22 is in the lowered position, the lower surface of the upper transport body 21 (the lower surface of the belt) is at a fixed position slightly below the banknote placement surface 8a of the withdrawal port 8. When the lower transport body 22 moves to the raised position, the upper surface of the stacked banknotes placed on the lower transport body 22 (the pair of belts 36, 36) during the movement (the belt 36 of the lower transport body 22 when no stacked banknotes are present). , 36 is in contact with the lower surface of the belt of the upper carrier 21. When the lower conveyance body 22 continues to move toward the raised position, the lower surface of the upper conveyance body 21 collects stacked bills between the belts 36 and 36 of the lower conveyance body 22 by the biasing force of the tension spring (not shown) and its own weight. Clamp with strong force.
[0071]
When the lower transport body 22 is further raised, the upper transport body 21 starts to move integrally with the lower transport body 22 while holding the stacked banknotes, and when the lower transport body 22 reaches the raised position and stops, the upper transport body 21 is also stacked. Stop at that position while holding the bill. Of the lower surfaces of the pair of belts of the upper transport body 21, the belt area that is in contact with the stacked banknotes is displaced upward by the sandwiching thickness with respect to the pair of belts 36, 36 of the lower transport body 22. Needless to say, the belt region that is not in contact has a small amount of upward displacement.
[0072]
Next, the motor M ₅ A driving force transmission system from a pair of belts as the upper transport body 21 will be described. In FIG. 5, a gear 70 is fixed to one shaft 52A of the group of intermediate pulleys 52 in FIG. A transmission pulley 73 is fixed to the shaft 72, and a lever 74 is swingably supported around the shaft 72.
[0073]
A shaft 75 is rotatably supported at the tip of the lever 74, and a transmission pulley 76 and a transport pulley 10 d-p are fixed to the shaft 75. A transmission belt 77 is interposed between the transmission pulley 73 and the transmission pulley 76. Is stretched.
[0074]
The transport pulleys 10d-p drive a pair of belts as the upper transport body 21, and are fixed to the shaft 75 as a pair corresponding to the pair of belts. Further, the lever 74 is stretched between the machine frame so that the transport pulleys 10d-p, 10d-p press the upper surface of the lower running area of the pair of belts regardless of the amount of bills. The spring is biased counterclockwise in the figure.
[0075]
The transport path 10e is also configured to include a pair of belts in the transport width direction, and the pair of upper and lower belts are in a pressure contact state. Of these, the lower pair of belts is placed at a fixed position, while the upper pair of belts has a support structure similar to that of the upper carrier 21 (pulley group, each swing lever, each tension that stretches the pair of belts) It is possible to displace upward by a spring and each stopper), and the stacked banknotes can be conveyed.
[0076]
In FIG. 5, the motor M ₅ Is driven, the first gear 59 rotates. If the teeth of the second gear 61 and the first gear 59 face each other in the meshing state before the rotation of the first gear 59, the second gear 61 is rotated by the rotation of the first gear 59. Immediately begins to rotate.

[0104]
FIG. 13 shows an example of a drawer control mechanism 130 that controls the lock and unlock of the refill reject box 14, that is, controls whether or not the refill reject box 14 can be pulled out.
[0105]
A lock pin 14a is fixed to the outer wall in the drawer width direction of the replenishment reject box 14 (the wall surface on the front side and the back side in FIG. 13). A rockable lock lever 132 is provided.
[0106]
A tension spring 133 is stretched between the lock lever 132 and the machine body 1, and a rotational force in a clockwise direction is urged in FIG. 13. A swing limit is restricted by a stopper 134 provided on the machine body 1. Has been.
[0107]
A protrusion 13 a is provided on a side portion of the stage 13 (front side in the front and back direction in FIG. 13), and the protrusion 13 a protrudes outside the side wall of the bill storage space of the replenishment / collection bill storage portion 3.
[0108]
A cam surface 132a is formed at a portion of the lock lever 132 facing the ascending / descending track of the protrusion 13a, and a lock portion 132b is formed facing the moving area of the lock pin 14a of the refill reject box 14.
[0109]
In FIG. 13, Sn indicates a mounting detection sensor (one of the position detection sensor groups Sn in FIG. 9) that detects that the refill reject box 14 has been inserted and mounted to the normal position of the machine body 1.
[0110]
The withdrawal control mechanism 130 functions to prevent the supplementary reject box 14 from being pulled out while the bills in the supplementary / collected bill storage unit 3 are being fed.
[0111]
That is, when the stage 13 is lowered to the position indicated by the one-dot chain line in FIG. 13, the lock lever 132 is also moved to the position indicated by the one-dot chain line, and the lock portion 132b of the lock lever 132 is retracted from the moving range of the lock pin 14a. As a result, the refill reject box 14 can be pulled out from the machine body 1 to the back side (right side in FIG. 13) of the machine body 1 by hand.
[0112]
When the replenishment reject banknote in the replenishment reject box 14 that has been pulled out is taken out and the empty replenishment reject box 14 is mounted again, the stage 13 can be raised on the condition that the mounting detection sensor Sn detects the mounting. 13 is moved up (linearly raised in the direction of the tilt angle while maintaining the tilted posture), the lock lever 132 is displaced to the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 13, and the lock portion 132b prevents the lock pin 14a from moving and refills. The withdrawal of the reject box 14 is prevented.
[0113]
Note that when the refill reject box 14 is in the withdrawn state, the mounting detection sensor Sn does not work, and therefore the motor M for raising the stage 13 is not operated. ₆ Is also left inactive. Further, the fixed position of the stage 13 is the position indicated by the one-dot chain line in FIG. 13 (the position indicated by the solid line in FIG. 1) of the standby position. Then, the replenishment reject box 14 is mounted and the mounting detection sensor Sn detects it, and the amount of replenishment reject banknotes in the refill reject box 14 is not a predetermined amount (one of the position detection sensor group Sn). The stage 13 can be raised on the condition that the full detection sensor is not fully detected).
[0114]
Next, the overall operation of the above embodiment will be described.
[0115]
A) Refill mode
In FIG. 9, when a command signal Px related to the replenishment mode is input from the host machine to the control unit 100, the replenishment / collection lamp L ₃ (Shown in FIG. 10) repeats “blinking at long intervals”, and inputs a command signal Px relating to refilling to a machine manager or a machine operator (not a customer. The customer can operate only on the front side of the machine body 1. To the machine administrator).
[0116]
Replenishment / collection lamp L ₃ Is blinking at a short interval, the machine manager or the like is notified that the recovery command signal Px is input to the control unit 100 from the host machine, and is distinguished from the replenishment command signal Px.
[0117]
The refill reject box 14 can be pulled out freely because the stage 13 is at the lowest position at that time. When a supplementary reject banknote is present in the box 14, the supplementary reject banknote is extracted from the box 14, and the empty supplementary reject box 14 is attached to the machine body 1. The machine manager or the like goes to the central checkout office, and when there is a supplementary reject banknote, passes it to the checkout office and receives 300 yen bills and 300 yen bills each as a supplementary banknote.
[0118]
The banknotes are brought to the machine body 1, the door 4 on the back of the machine body 1 is opened, and a total of 600 banknotes are aligned and stacked on the stage 13.
[0119]
Next, refill button D ₂ When is pressed, switch D shown in FIG. ₂₁ Is turned on and the motor M is ₆ Is driven, the stage 13 is raised and the upper surface of the stacked stacked banknotes is pressed by the replenishment feeding unit 12, and the pressing state is detected by the position detection sensor group Sn. ₆ Stops temporarily and motor M ₁ , M ₂ Rotate together.
[0120]
At that time, still clutch C ₃ Is de-energized (excitation after a lapse of a certain time), and the replenishment feeding unit 12 is stopped. ₁ , M ₂ It is driven by rotation. Further, the replenishment identifying unit 11 can also be identified.
[0121]
On the other hand, the display lamp L ₃ Lights up and informs that the refilling operation is in progress. Further, the transport path sensor group Sm and the position detection sensor group Sn are operable. And switching part G ₁ , G ₂ , G ₃ Solenoid SD corresponding to ₁ , SD ₂ , SD ₃ Can be switched on and off based on the identification signal to the replenishment identifying unit 11 and the transport path sensor group Sm.
[0122]
At that time, clutch C ₃ Is turned ON, the replenishment feeding unit 12 is driven, and bill feeding is started. Each time the fed banknote is identified by the replenishment identifying unit 11, the payout is fed at a pitch and speed at which the next banknote is fed.
[0123]
Further, in response to the banknote being fed out by the replenishment feeding unit 12, the motor M is passed through the position detection sensor group Sn. ₆ Are intermittently driven, the stage 13 is moved up by a predetermined amount, the stacked banknotes are pressed against the replenishing / feeding section 12 with a predetermined pressure, and continuous banknote feeding is continued.
[0124]
When the banknote thus fed out is identified as a thousand-yen banknote by the replenishment identifying unit 11, the temporary-holding unit 2a for thousand yen ₁ When the banknote is recognized as a 10,000 yen bill, the temporary storage section 2a for 10,000 yen ₂ Rejected banknotes such as other banknotes and double banknotes are fed into the replenishment reject box 14 in a horizontal state and accumulated as replenishment reject banknotes. For example, when 100 replenishment identification units 11 first identify 100 yen bills, the clutch C ₃ Is de-energized, the replenishment feeding unit 12 is temporarily stopped, and the motor M ₆ Is also paused.
[0125]
On the other hand, the banknotes in the transport paths 10a and 10b are temporarily held in accordance with the identification result 2a. ₁ 2a ₂ The motor M in anticipation of the time received in the refill reject box 14 ₁ , M ₂ Stops.
[0126]
Then motor M ₃ Rotates for a predetermined time and temporarily holds 2a ₁ 2a ₂ A pair of bottom plates 2a ₁₁ 2a ₁₁ 2a ₂₁ 2a ₂₁ Is opened downward and each accumulated temporary banknote is stored in each withdrawal banknote storage unit 2. ₁ 2 ₂ Stacked on the bottom of the stack. Each withdrawal bill storage part 2 ₁ 2 ₂ The number of banknotes stored in is stored in the storage unit of the control unit 100.
[0127]
Motor M ₃ Of the pair of bottom plates 2a ₁₁ 2a ₁₁ 2a ₂₁ 2a ₂₁ Closes, motor M ₃ Stops.
[0128]
Immediately after that, the motor M ₁ , M ₂ Rotation and clutch C ₃ Is turned on (excitation), the replenishment banknote is fed again, the recognizing part 11 identifies, the thousand yen banknote and the 10,000 yen banknote temporary storage part 2a. ₁ 2a ₂ Temporary storage and storage of replenishment reject banknotes in the replenishment reject box 14 is performed.
[0129]
One temporary holding part 2a again ₁ Or 2a ₂ When the number of sheets reaches 100, the replenishment feeding unit 12 is the clutch C as in the previous case. ₃ Stops at OFF (de-energized) and then motor M ₁ , M ₂ Stops. Then motor M ₃ A pair of bottom plates 2a ₁₁ 2a ₁₁ 2a ₂₁ 2a ₂₁ Will open, and the temporary banknotes will be stored in each withdrawal banknote storage 2 ₁ 2 ₂ Is stored.
[0130]
At that time, the temporarily reserved number for each denomination is added to the storage unit of the control unit 100, and each withdrawal bill storage unit 2 is added. ₁ , 2 ₂ Is stored in the storage unit as the total value of the stored numbers.
[0131]
Similarly, all banknotes in the replenishment / collection banknote storage unit 13 are withdrawn banknote storage unit 2. ₁ , 2 ₂ Then, it is stored in the refill reject box 14. When the storage is completed, the replenishment / collection lamp L ₃ Turns off and the replenishment mode ends.
[0132]
When the amount of replenishment reject banknotes in the replenishment reject box 14 becomes full during the refill mode operation, the refill reject lamp L ₄ Changes from blinking to lighting.
[0133]
On the other hand, clutch C ₃ De-excitation, banknotes in the transport paths 10a, 10b ₁ 2 ₂ , Motor M after elapse of time for storing in the refill reject box 14 (setting is possible to store several bills even when full) ₁ , M ₂ Stop, motor M ₆ The stage 13 is moved to the lowest lowered position by reversing the rotation, the replenishment reject box 14 is pulled out, the replenishment reject banknote is taken out, and the empty replenishment rejection box 14 is set in the machine body 1 again.
[0134]
This time, the refill button D ₂ The stage 13 rises without pressing the refill button D ₂ The replenishment mode is continued in the same manner as in the case of the pressing of, the above operation is repeated, all the banknotes on the stage 13 are brought in, and the replenishment mode ends.
[0135]
B) Withdrawal mode
First, the customer inputs an amount of money with the operation unit 101 shown in FIG. 9, and inputs the amount and reading the certificate proving that he / she is the right holder.
[0136]
Each withdrawal bill storage unit 2 is determined by the input from the operation unit 101 and the withdrawal command signal Px from the host machine. ₁ 2 ₂ Banknotes are withdrawn.
[0137]
That is, motor M ₁ , M ₂ , M ₄ , M ₅ (High-speed rotation) is driven, and the conveyance paths 10a, 10b, 10c (including 10h), 10d, 10e, 10f, and 10g are driven. Motor M ₃ Is stopped and the bottom plate 2a ₁₁ 2a ₁₁ 2a ₂₁ 2a ₂₁ Is closed. Motor M ₈ Is stopped after being driven for a predetermined time, and the partition plate 6 is raised from the position indicated by the solid line in FIG. 8 to the position indicated by the two-dot chain line and stopped to prepare for accepting the withdrawal reject banknote. Motor M ₇ Is rotated by a predetermined angle from the position indicated by the solid line in FIG. 2, and stops at a position corresponding to the position where the lifting frame 25 is lowered.
[0138]
Motor M ₆ Is used in the replenishment mode and the collection mode and is not used in the withdrawal mode, so it remains stopped. Also, the withdrawal identification unit 16, the transport path detection sensor group Sm, the position detection sensor group Sn, the switching unit G ₁ ~ G ₆ Solenoid SD ₁ ~ SD ₆ Is also ready for operation.
[0139]
When the withdrawal banknote is both of two denominations, the withdrawal banknote storage unit 2 ₁ From the side, and in the case of one denomination, the withdrawal banknote storage part 2 for that denomination ₁ Or 2 ₂ Withdraw banknotes.
[0140]
The feeding unit 15 ₁ , 15 ₂ Kicker Roller 15 _1-1 , 15 _2-1 Is set so that one bill is fed out by one rotation.
[0141]
As a specific example, assuming that the withdrawal amount is 158,000 yen, first, clutch C ₁ Is excited and the feeding section 15 ₁ Is driven, and the thousand-yen banknote is worth 8,000 yen, that is, the kicker roller 15 _1-1 Is driven for 8 revolutions. The banknotes fed out in the meantime are identified by the withdrawal identification unit 16, and the banknotes identified as thousand yen banknotes are stacked in a horizontal posture from the transport path 10d to the banknote temporary storage unit 9. The cradle 23 at that time is in the position shown by the two-dot chain line in FIGS.
[0142]
On the other hand, the withdrawal reject banknote determined to be a reject banknote that cannot be used for withdrawal by the withdrawal identification unit 16 is sent from the transport path 10e to the withdrawal reject banknote storage unit 5b and accumulated in a horizontal state.
[0143]
Also, defective banknotes (banknotes that are determined as skewed banknotes, abnormally approaching banknotes, and the like) are branched from the transport path 10e to the transport path 10f, and transport paths 10a and 10b. Through the temporary holding section 2a ₁ Sent to. And kicker roller 15 _1-1 Clutch C with 8 turns ₁ Is temporarily stopped.
[0144]
The above kicker roller 15 _1-1 When eight regular thousand yen banknotes are identified by the withdrawal identification unit 16 and sent to the banknote temporary storage unit 9, the withdrawal bill storage unit 2 ₁ The payout from the bank ends, but when the regular 1000-yen banknote is identified as 6 sheets, for example, the clutch C ₁ Is excited again and the kicker roller 15 _1-1 Is added twice.
[0145]
Thus, when two regular thousand yen bills are identified and stored in the bill temporary storage unit 9, the withdrawal bill storage unit 2 is stored. ₁ The bill delivery from the end is completed. If you still cannot pay out eight regular thousand-yen bills, clutch C for the number of missing thousand-yen bills. ₁ The Kicker roller 15 _1-1 Is rotated, and when eight regular thousand yen bills are identified, the withdrawal bill storage unit 2 ₁ End feeding from.
[0146]
Then clutch C ₂ Is excited, and the withdrawal bill storage part 2 ₂ To 1550,000 yen, that is, 15 regular 10,000 yen banknotes are fed out and identified by the withdrawal identifying unit 16, and temporarily stored in the banknote temporary storage unit 9 in an accumulated state.
[0147]
If the withdrawal identification unit 16 identifies it as a withdrawal reject banknote in the middle, the withdrawal reject bill is sent from the transport path 10e to the withdrawal reject bill storage unit 5b and accumulated in a horizontal state. Also, the banknotes identified as defective banknotes by the withdrawal identifying unit 16 are branched from the transport path 10e to the transport path 10f, and pass through the transport paths 10a and 10e to temporarily hold the unit 2a. ₂ It is accumulated in a horizontal state.
[0148]
FIG. 8 shows the flow of the banknote. In the figure, the solid line indicates the route of the withdrawal normal banknote, the broken line indicates the route of the withdrawal reject banknote, and the chain line indicates the route of the defective banknote.
[0149]
When it is confirmed that the regular banknotes of 158,000 yen are aligned and accumulated in the banknote temporary storage unit 9 through the transport path sensor group Sm as described above, the motor M ₁ , M ₂ , M ₄ , M ₅ Stops, and the transport paths 10a, 10b, 10c (including 10h), 10d, 10e, 10f, 10h stop.

On the other hand, motor M ₆ Continuously rotates in the reverse direction, and the stage 13 moves to the lowest position in FIGS. 1, 8, and 13 and stops. Replenishment / collection lamp L ₃ Is flashing in the middle of recovery, but is switched on when the stage 13 is lowered to the lowest position. When the machine manager or the like opens the door 4 and takes out all the collected banknotes, the lamp L ₃ Is turned off.
[0188]
With regard to the withdrawal reject banknote storage 5b, a lamp L will appear if a withdrawal or collection reject banknote exists. ₂ Flashes and lights up when those bills are full (in this case, the machine will not operate unless the bills are taken out), and the partition plate 6 is located at the position indicated by the solid line in FIGS. Open the door 7b and take out the withdrawal and recovery reject banknote.
[0189]
This completes the collection mode.
[0190]
In the above, the collected banknotes, the collected and / or withdrawal rejected banknotes taken out in the unit recovery mode or the recovery mode are brought to the central settlement office and handed over.
[0191]
In the illustrated embodiment, the case where the banknote stacking direction in the banknote temporary storage unit is set to the vertical direction is shown, but the banknotes may be stacked in a standing posture.
[0192]
In addition, when the temporarily held banknote reaches a predetermined amount, the time when the temporarily held banknote is sent out in a stacked state is the stage where, when it is a withdrawal banknote, the requested withdrawal amount to be operated and the withdrawal temporary hold amount actually paid out coincide. Thus, either a mode in which the temporarily held banknote is automatically sent out for withdrawal, or a mode in which withdrawal is sent out by the withdrawal approval operation after the match may be employed.
[0193]
The banknote collection operation (which can be either the collection mode or the unit collection mode) is to identify the banknotes in the banknote storage unit by unloading the banknotes in the banknote storage section by the operation of a staff member or administrator who manages the machine. Sending to the recovery unit (aircraft rear side).
[0194]
The sending time is automatically performed when a predetermined number (or predetermined amount) of denominated banknotes to be collected is collected, and automatically when a predetermined number of sheets is accumulated regardless of the denomination, Any of the case where it performs by button operation instead of automatic may be sufficient.
[0195]
The first transport body (upper transport body) and the second transport body (lower transport body) can have a roller structure or a combination structure of a belt and a roller in addition to the belt structure.
[0196]
Moreover, the banknote stacking position of the receiving plate may be a fixed position, and is separated from the first transport body as the amount of the temporarily retained banknotes increases so that an appropriate interval is provided between the first transport body and the upper surface of the temporarily retained banknotes. You may make it control so. In particular, when stacking banknotes horizontally in a standing posture, the second transport body is temporarily held so that the banknotes are not collapsed and an interval at which banknotes to be stacked can smoothly enter is always formed. It is desirable to move in the direction away from the first transfer body with an increase in.
[0197]
Further, in each of the claims, “the second rotating body that can be coupled to the first rotating body and drives the drive shaft of the second transport body when the first rotating body rotates” means “coupled In addition to the case of the previous stage (embodiment shown in the figure), the “combined state itself” is included as in the case of the pressure contact between the rollers.
[0198]
The first switching portion in the present invention is the solenoid SD ₁ And switching part G ₁ However, the second switching unit is a motor M. ₈ The partition plate 6 corresponds to this.

There is no complicated control of the driving means as in the case where the driving means are provided separately on both the base and the second carrier side, and no wiring is required to connect the lifting drive system of the cradle and the fixed side. Costs can be significantly reduced.
[0201]
2) According to the second aspect of the invention, the stacking direction of the temporarily held banknotes is the vertical direction, so that the stacking collapse is unlikely to occur as in the case of stacking the banknotes in the standing position when stacking the banknotes. In addition to being able to be stacked in the vertical direction, the stacked state can be transported to a required place by the upper and lower transport bodies, and transport of the temporarily held banknotes can be ensured.
[0202]
In addition, since the temporarily held banknote is nipped and transported from above and below by the upper transport body and the lower transport body, the transport section can be easily arranged substantially linearly in the horizontal direction, and the stacked banknotes can be transported more reliably.
[0203]
Further, the same effect as that of the first aspect of the invention can be obtained in that the drive system can be simplified.
[0204]
3) According to the third aspect of the present invention, the stacking direction of the temporarily held banknotes of the withdrawal banknotes is the vertical direction, so that the collapse of the stacking as in the case of lateral stacking in a standing posture at the time of temporarily withdrawing the withdrawal banknotes. It is unlikely to occur and can be reliably stacked in the vertical direction, and the withdrawal temporarily-reserved banknote while maintaining the accumulation state can be conveyed to the withdrawal port.
[0205]
Further, it is the same as the first and second aspects of the invention that simplification of the configuration of the transport section and the configuration of the drive system can be achieved.
[0206]
4) According to the invention of claim 4, the withdrawal temporary holding banknotes stacked in the vertical direction can be transported to the withdrawal port while maintaining the accumulation state, and the withdrawal temporary holding banknotes are accumulated. Since it is held in a state where it partially protrudes to the withdrawal port, it is easy to take out, and when it is forgotten to remove the withdrawal bill, it is fed back to the collection unit and transported to the collection unit for high efficiency processing can do.
[0207]
It is to be noted that the simplification of the configuration of the transport section and the configuration of the drive system can be achieved as in the first, second, and third aspects of the invention.
[0208]
5) According to the invention described in claim 5, a batch recovery mode for directly transferring the banknotes in the withdrawal banknote storage and feeding unit to the recovery unit can be realized, the recovery can be facilitated, and the transport system can be made compact. Can be configured.
[0209]
6) According to the invention described in claim 6, even if an assembly error or an error due to secular change occurs, rotation can be reliably transmitted to the lower carrier.
[0210]
7) According to the inventions of claims 7 and 8, slip is not generated between the first rotating body and the second rotating body, and the rotation can be more reliably transmitted to the lower transport body. it can.
[0211]
8) According to the invention of claim 9, since a large space is not required in the retreat direction of the cradle and the cradle and the second transport body move forward and backward while maintaining parallelism with respect to the first transport body, Accumulated banknotes can be reliably conveyed while maintaining the accumulated state.
[0212]
9) According to the invention described in claim 10, the bills can be smoothly stacked on the cradle without contacting the second transport body (lower transport body) when the banknotes are stacked, and the first banknote is transported when the stacked banknotes are transported. Since the stacked banknotes are sandwiched and transported by the second transport body (upper transport body and lower transport body), reliable transport is possible.
