Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a banknote dispensing device that is a currency currency.
In particular, the present invention relates to a payout device for reliably paying out paper money, which is paper currency.
The present invention specifically relates to a banknote dispensing apparatus suitable for a field where banknotes are used, such as a vending machine including a ticket vending machine and a money changer.
It should be noted that the concept of “banknote” in the present invention includes not only currency banknotes but also sheet bodies made of foldable paper or synthetic resin.
Of course, the concept of “banknote” in the present invention includes a small card body such as a flexible telephone card or commuter pass card.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As a conventional banknote dispensing device, there is, for example, Japanese Patent Application No. 8-188006 by the present applicant.
As shown in FIG. 6, the sheet body discharging apparatus includes a rectangular tube-shaped suction means 21 having an opening 22 for adsorbing the sheet body on the lower side.
An exhaust means 26 is provided above the suction means, and a delivery means 27 for delivering the adsorbed sheet member is provided inside the suction means.
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the above-described payout device has a problem of lack of certainty particularly when a bill which is a sheet body is sent out.
[0003]
Since many banknotes in circulation are folded at the center, there is a problem that the contact becomes insufficient when the delivery means is a small tire.
In other words, in the case of a banknote folded at the center, there is a problem that the tire of the delivery means is idle and the delivery of the banknote is not performed reliably.
The present invention was developed for the purpose of a device that can surely and quickly pay out banknotes one by one.
The present invention has been developed for the purpose of a payout device for reliably sending out bills while miniaturizing the device and simplifying the structure.
[Means for Solving the Problems]
[0004]
The present invention generates a suction means having an opening for adsorbing a bill smaller than the size of the bill, and a suction flow attached to the suction means and sucking bills stored in a standing state in front of the opening. Exhaust means for carrying out, a delivery means for feeding the sucked banknotes upward against the suction by a transport belt capable of reversible travel disposed vertically through the opening of the suction means, and the delivery means The pair of rollers forcibly pulling out the banknotes sandwiched between the leading ends of the banknotes sent upward by the above and the transport belt, when feeding out the banknotes, run in the feeding direction to feed out the suction banknotes, A sensor that detects that the rear end of the banknote that has been pulled out after the portion is sandwiched between the pair of rollers has passed through the rear end of the opening. Travels the conveyor belt in the opposite direction on the basis of the knowledge signal, is obtained by the bill payout device, characterized in that to prevent mistaken delivery of fed brought bills.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0005]
FIG. 1 is a perspective view schematically showing a main part of an embodiment according to the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the main part of FIG.
FIG. 3 is an elevation view of FIG. 1 viewed from the front.
FIG. 4 is a side view of FIG. FIG. 5 is a top view of FIG.
FIG. 1 shows an embodiment according to the present invention in a use posture.
The large T-shaped horizontal plate shown in the upper center of FIG.
A cover plate 13 curved in a semi-cylindrical shape is suspended and fixed to the central end portion 12 of the base plate 11.
A slightly small trapezoidal bottom plate 14 is fixed inside the lower end of the cover plate 13.
[0006]
Therefore, the rectangular attachment portion 15 is formed to hang down near the center of the lower surface of the base plate 11.
Further, rectangular side portions 16 and 17 are formed on both sides of the central end portion 12 so as to hang down.
As a result, a large opening M is formed by the central end portion 12 and the pair of side portions 16 and 17 and the bottom plate 14.
Two slightly large through holes 21 and 22 are opened above and below the vertically long attachment portion 15.
Small fan devices 23 and 24 are fixed to the outsides of these through holes 21 and 22 through attachment portions 15, respectively.
[0007]
A large substantially L-shaped body shown in a vertically long center in FIG.
FIG. 2 shows the frame body 31 removed.
A slightly large plate portion is bent at a right angle at the upper end portion of the frame body 31.
The frame body 31 is fixed to the base plate 11 through a rectangular attachment portion 32 which is one of the bent plate portions.
And the small electric motor 25 is being fixed to the attachment part 33 used as the other rectangle.
A pulley 26 for driving a large ring-shaped belt 38 is fitted on the rotating shaft of the electric motor 25.
The pulley 26 is a toothed pulley and meshes with the teeth on the back of the belt 38.
[0008]
The electric motor 25 is a step motor capable of forward and reverse rotation.
A lower end portion of the frame body 31 is formed into an elongated shape and serves as a guide portion 34 of an endless belt 38.
A small spacer 35 for fixing is attached to each end and center of the elongated guide 34.
An elongated guide piece 36 similar to the guide portion 31 is attached to the guide portion 31 with the three spacers 35 interposed therebetween.
Four small rollers 37 are rotatably disposed between the pair of guide portions 31 and guide pieces 36.
[0009]
These rollers 37 are for guiding the endless belt 38 and are appropriately disposed near the spacers 35.
The guide portion 34 and the guide piece 36 can be inserted into elongated holes formed in the center end portion 12 and the center of the outer edge of the bottom plate 14, respectively.
Accordingly, the frame body 31 is fixed to the base plate 11 with the attachment portion 32 interposed therebetween, so that the frame body 31 can be detached from the base plate 11.
【Example】
In the present embodiment having the above-described configuration, for example, bills B of a thousand yen bill are erected vertically and arranged in sequence in front of the opening M (see FIGS. 4 and 5).
A bundle of many banknotes B is lightly pressed against the opening M.
[0010]
Thus, when the fan devices 23 and 24 are driven, exhaust is performed.
As a result, a negative pressure is generated in the opening M, and the first outer sheet of the banknote B bundle is attracted to the opening M. At the same time, the electric motor 25 is rotated forward.
The thin rubber belt 38 runs in the direction of the solid line arrow in the figure.
Thus, the first outer sheet of the banknote B bundle adsorbed to the opening M by the surface friction of the rubber belt 38 is sent out upward.
The upper end of the first banknote B sent out upward is sandwiched between a pair of rollers (not shown).
As a result, the first banknote B is forcibly pulled up in the direction of the chain line arrow.
The lower end of the raised first bill B passes below the opening M.
[0011]
At this time, this passage is detected by a sensor (not shown), and the electric motor 25 is reversely rotated.
As a result, the first banknote B sent upward is reliably sent out in the direction of the chain arrow.
Then, the second bill B is prevented from being erroneously sent due to the upward movement of the belt 38 due to the reverse running of the belt 38.
Needless to say, the endless belt 38 may be made of natural rubber or synthetic rubber.
In this embodiment, the number of the belts 38 is one, but it is needless to say that two belts 38 may be arranged close to each other.
[0012]
In the present embodiment, the belt 38 has an elongated shape, but it is needless to say that the belt 38 may be widened to form a large number of air holes.
Of course, a caterpillar type such as a rubber chain may be used instead of the belt 38.
Although a plurality of spacers 35 are attached to the guide portion 34, it is needless to say that only a plurality of rollers 37 may be used.
In this case, for example, the roller 37 is rotatably fitted on a thin shaft fixed to the guide portion 34 and held so as not to come off.
As a result, the guide piece 36 is not necessary, but the belt 38 is very easily attached.
[0013]
In this embodiment, the two fan devices 23 and 24 are used, but it is needless to say that one fan device may be used.
In addition, since the frame body 31 can be easily removed from the base plate 11, the belt 38 can be easily replaced.
In addition, since all necessary parts are fixed to the base plate 11, it is needless to say that the apparatus can be used regardless of whether the base plate 11 is vertical or oblique.
In other words, it is a matter of course that the apparatus can be used with the opening M facing upward, downward, or diagonally.
【The invention's effect】
[0014]
The present invention as described above can achieve a great effect by a combination of simple configurations.
That is, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a banknote dispensing apparatus having a small and simple structure by a combination of a small fan, a rubber belt, and an electric motor.
Moreover, according to the present invention, a great advantage is obtained that each bill can be paid out reliably and at high speed.
