  Similarly, the clip 40R is inclined so that the surface portion 43R on the fixed receiving portion 41R side is closer to the fixed receiving portion 41R toward the lower side in contact with the fixed receiving portion 41R. The surface portion 44R above the clip contact position on the 40R side is also inclined so as to approach the clip 40R toward the lower side. Also in this case, the clip 40R and the fixed receiving portion 41R are located at the storage pusher mechanism 26 side where the bottom of the V-shaped valley formed by the surface portions 43R and 44R is in the retracted state of the temporary storage portion 23R. As a result, in the upper part of the temporary storage unit 23R, the banknote S pushed by the roller 36R and the belt 35R from the branch conveyance path 19R shown in FIG. 1 is moved to the storage pusher mechanism 26 in the retracted state in the temporary storage unit 23R. invite.

  The bills S fed by the roller 36R and the belt 35R are guided by the surface portions 43R and 44R between the clip 40R and the fixed receiving portion 41R, and when they are separated from the roller 36R, they are clipped by the biasing force of the torsion spring. It is sandwiched between 40R and the fixed receiving portion 41R. That is, the clip 40R and the fixed receiving portion 41R constitute the guide holding portion 45R that guides the fed banknote S to the storage pusher mechanism 26 in the retracted state and holds the upper end portion of the fed bill S. Yes. Note that the clip 40R and the fixed receiving portion 41R are also provided at the center position between the belts 35R on both sides in the left-right direction of the apparatus, and accordingly, the guide holding portion 45R configured by the clip 40R and the fixed receiving portion 41R.

Here, the gears 66 and 69 mesh with each other with the same number of teeth, and the arms 64 and 66 can extend in the opposite direction on the same straight line, for example.

  Further, the moving mechanisms 48 and 49 have one pusher motor 47 that meshes with the gear 66 and the gear 72 fixed to the drive shaft. Therefore, when the pusher motor 47 is driven, the gear 66 and the gear 69 are rotated in the opposite directions via the gear 72, and the arm 64 and the arm 67 are rotated in the opposite directions in synchronization with each other. Then, the cam rollers 65 and 68 provided on the distal ends of the arms 64 and 67 are rotated in synchronism in the opposite directions on the same circle.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 4, the moving mechanisms 48 and 49 move the cam rollers 65 and 68 to any of the cams 51F, 51R, and 52F in the standby state in which the arms 64 and 67 are aligned on the same straight line and extend in the opposite direction. , 52R are not in contact with each other, and both pushers 25F, 25R abut the top surfaces 55F, 55R of the cams 51F, 51R against the rotating shaft 61 by the urging force of the tension spring 63, and the tops of the cams 52F, 52R. The surface portions 58F and 58R are in contact with the rotation shaft 62.

  When the pusher motor 47 is driven so that the arms 64 and 67 turn 180 degrees forward in the apparatus front-rear direction from this state, the cam roller 65 of the upper arm 64 moves above the pusher 25F on the apparatus front-rear direction as shown in FIG. The cam 51F is in contact with the upper inclined surface portion 56F, rolls along the inclined surface portion 56F toward the top surface portion 55F, and rides on the top surface portion 55F, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the cam roller 68 of the lower arm 67 contacts the lower inclined surface portion 60F of the lower cam 52F of the pusher 25F and rolls toward the top surface portion 58F along the inclined surface portion 60F. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the rider rides on the top surface portion 58 </ b> F, and pushes the pusher 25 </ b> F on the front side in the apparatus front-rear direction toward the front side in the apparatus front-rear direction. Thereby, the pusher 25F for the temporary storage unit 23F on the front side in the front-rear direction of the apparatus moves forward in the direction of the temporary storage unit 23F. As shown in FIG. 6, when the arms 64 and 67 are directed sideways, that is, when the cam rollers 65 and 68 are positioned closest to the pusher 25F, the cam roller 65 is placed on the top surface portion 55F having the highest height of the cam 51F. The cam rollers 68 ride on the top surface portion 58F having the highest height of the cam 52F.

At the same time, the cam roller 68 of the lower arm 67 descends from the top surface portion 58F of the lower cam 52F of the pusher 25F to the upper inclined surface portion 59F and rolls along the inclined surface portion 59F, thereby pulling the pusher 25F. The spring 63 is moved backward by the biasing force of the spring 63. Then, as shown in FIG. 7, when the arms 64 and 67 are aligned on the same straight line and extend in the close proximity direction, the pusher motor 47 is stopped. At this time, the cam rollers 65 and 68 do not contact any of the cams 51F, 51R, 52F, and 52R, and enter another standby state.

  The moving mechanisms 48 and 49 drive the pusher motor 47 from the state in which the arms 64 and 67 are aligned on the same straight line and extend in the mutually close directions, thereby moving the arms 64 and 67 to the device. After rotating the pusher 25F on the front side in the front-rear direction of the apparatus in the direction of the temporary storage part 23F by rotating 180 degrees forward in the front-rear direction and then stopping in a state of extending in the opposite direction along the same straight line It will be retreated.

  Further, the moving mechanisms 48 and 49, for example, pushers so that the arms 64 and 67 turn 180 degrees rearward in the front-rear direction of the apparatus from a standby state in which the arms 64 and 67 are aligned on the same straight line and extend in the opposite direction. When the motor 47 is driven, the cam roller 65 of the upper arm 64 abuts on the upper inclined surface portion 56R of the upper cam 51R of the pusher 25R on the rear side in the apparatus front-rear direction and rolls toward the top surface portion 55R along the inclined surface portion 56R. At the same time, the cam roller 68 of the lower arm 67 comes into contact with the lower inclined surface portion 60R of the lower cam 52 of the pusher 25R, and the top surface portion extends along the inclined surface portion 60R. Rolling to the 58R side and riding on the top surface portion 58R, the pusher 25R is pressed to the rear side in the apparatus front-rear direction. Thereby, the pusher 25R for the temporary storage unit 23R on the rear side in the longitudinal direction of the apparatus moves forward in the direction of the temporary storage unit 23R. In this case as well, when the arms 64 and 67 are directed sideways, that is, when the cam rollers 65 and 68 are positioned on the pusher 25R side, the cam roller 65 is positioned on the top surface portion 55R having the highest height of the cam 51R. It rides on the top surface portion 58R having the highest height of the cam 52R.

  In this way, when the pusher 25R on the rear side in the apparatus front-rear direction advances in the direction of the temporary storage part 23R on the rear side in the apparatus front-rear direction, the banknote S held by the guide holding part 45R shown in FIG. That is, the banknote S temporarily stored is pressed in the thickness direction.

  Further, following the above, the cam roller 65 of the upper arm 64 descends from the top surface portion 55R of the upper cam 51R of the pusher 25R to the lower inclined surface portion 57R and rolls along the inclined surface portion 57R. At the same time, the cam roller 68 of the lower arm 67 descends from the top surface portion 58R of the lower cam 52R of the pusher 25R to the upper inclined surface portion 59R and rolls along the inclined surface portion 59R, thereby pulling the pusher 25R. The spring 63 is moved backward by the biasing force of the spring 63. When the arms 64 and 67 are aligned on the same straight line and extend in the close proximity direction, the pusher motor 47 is stopped.

  In the case of the pusher 25R as well, the moving mechanisms 48 and 49 drive the pusher motor 47 in the opposite manner from the standby state in which the arms 64 and 67 are aligned on the same straight line and extend in the mutually close directions. The pushers on the rear side in the front-rear direction of the apparatus can also be obtained by rotating the arms 64 and 67 so as to turn 180 degrees rearward in the front-rear direction of the apparatus and then stopping in a state of extending in the opposite direction along the same straight line. After 25R is advanced in the direction of the temporary storage unit 23R, it is retracted.

  As described above, in the pusher 25F, the inclined surface portion 56F of the cam surface 53F that is pressed by the cam roller 65 that rotates in one direction when moving to the forward side is the front contact portion of the cam roller 65 (opposite to the top surface portion 55F). The rear abutting portion (on the top surface portion 55F side) is inclined so as to increase the height from the pusher plate 50F in the moving direction of the pusher 25F. The inclined surface portion 57F of the cam surface 53F pressed by the cam roller 65 rotating in the reverse direction is in contact with the rear portion (on the top surface portion 55F side) compared to the front portion of contact with the cam roller 65 (on the side opposite to the top surface portion 55F). However, it inclines so that the height from the pusher board 50F in the moving direction of the pusher 25F may become high. Similarly, in the pusher 25F, the inclined surface portions 59F and 60F of the cam surface 54F pressed by the cam roller 68 when moving to the forward side are on the front contact portion (opposite to the top surface portion 58F) of the cam roller 68. In contrast, the rear contact portion (on the top surface portion 58F side) is inclined so as to increase the height from the pusher plate 50F in the moving direction of the pusher 25F.

  Similarly, in the pusher 25R, the inclined surface portions 56R and 57R of the cam surface 53R that are pressed by the cam roller 65 when moving to the forward side are the front contact portions (opposite to the top surface portion 55R) of the cam roller 65. In contrast, the abutting rear portion (on the top surface portion 55R side) is inclined so as to increase the height from the pusher plate 50R in the moving direction of the pusher 25R, and the cam roller 68 is moved during the forward movement. The inclined surface portions 59R, 60R of the cam surface 54R pressed by the front surface of the cam roller 68 are in contact with the rear portion (on the top surface portion 57R side) of the pusher 25R as compared with the front contact portion (on the opposite side to the top surface portion 57R). It is inclined so as to increase the height from the pusher plate 50R in the moving direction.

  Further, the cam surface 53F comes into contact with the cam roller 65 at the top surface portion 55F having the highest height from the pusher plate 50F when the cam roller 65 is positioned closest to the pusher 25F. When it is positioned on the side, it abuts on the cam roller 68 at the top surface portion 58F having the highest height from the pusher plate 50F. The cam surface 53R also comes into contact with the cam roller 65 at the top surface portion 55R having the highest height from the pusher plate 50R when the cam roller 65 is positioned closest to the pusher 25R, and the cam roller 54R also has the cam roller 68 closest to the pusher 25R. When positioned, the cam roller 68 comes into contact with the top surface portion 58R having the highest height from the pusher plate 50R. When any of the pushers 25F and 25R is moved, the forward / reverse rotation of the pusher motor 47 is controlled based on the standby position of the arms 64 and 67 at that time, that is, on the opposite side or the close side.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the storage unit 24F includes a receiving plate 75F that holds the banknotes S in an accumulated state with the banknote end pressing member 31F provided in the corresponding temporary storage unit 23F. The receiving plate 75F is parallel to the pusher plate 50F, extends in the vertical direction in a posture orthogonal to the front-rear direction of the apparatus, and slides in the front-rear direction of the apparatus while maintaining this posture. On the opposite side of the receiving plate 75F with respect to the temporary storage portion 23F, two upper and lower compression springs 76F are provided between the opposing wall plate portion 28c of the case 28. The receiving plate 75F is always pressed to the temporary storage part 23F side by these compression springs 76F, and in the state where there is no stored banknote S, it contacts the banknote end pressing member 31F at both ends in the left-right direction of the apparatus. In a certain state, the banknote end pressing member 31F is held between the banknote end pressing member 31F by bringing the both ends of the stored banknote S in the left-right direction of the apparatus into contact with each other.

  Similarly, the storage unit 24R includes a receiving plate 75R that holds the bill S between the bill end pressing member 31R of the temporary storage unit 23R, and the receiving plate 75R is parallel to the pusher plate 50R. While maintaining this posture, it slides in the longitudinal direction of the device. On the opposite side of the temporary storage portion 23R of the receiving plate 75R, two upper and lower compression springs 76R are provided between the opposing wall plate portion 28d of the case 28, and the receiving plate 75R is provided by these compression springs 76R. Is always pressed to the temporary storage section 23R side, abuts against the banknote edge pressing member 31R when there is no stored banknote S, and in the state where the stored banknote S is present, the apparatus left and right of the stored banknote S against the banknote edge pressing member 31R. The stored banknotes S are held between the banknote end pressing members 31R by bringing both ends of the direction into contact with each other.

  When the banknote S is transported from the branch transport path 19F shown in FIG. 1 to the temporary storage section 23F on the front side in the front-rear direction of the apparatus, the banknote S is transferred to the roller 36F and the belt 35F in the temporary storage section 23F shown in FIG. And pushed between the clip 40F and the fixed receiving portion 41F and separated from the roller 36F, the clip 40F and the fixed receiving portion 41F are sandwiched and suspended in the temporary storage space 30F. In addition, since the generation position of the pushing force of the bill S by the roller 36F and the belt 35F is immediately before the clip 40F and the fixed receiving portion 41F, the clip 40F and the clip 40F are reliably moved to the upper end portion by the roller 36F and the belt 35F. It can be pushed into the fixed receiving portion 41F.

  In this state, when the moving mechanisms 48 and 49 of the storage pusher mechanism 26 advance the pusher 25F on the front side in the front-rear direction of the apparatus, the pusher 25F comes into contact with the temporarily stored banknote S and stores it on the front side in the front-rear direction of the apparatus. Press toward the portion 24F. Then, the pusher 25F receives the temporarily stored banknote S beyond the both banknote end pressing members 31F provided in the temporary storage space 30F, and the receiving plate 75F of the storage section 24F that comes into contact with these banknote end pressing members 31F, Alternatively, the temporarily stored banknote S is inserted into the banknote while contacting the stored banknote S sandwiched between the receiving plate 75F and the banknote end pressing member 31F and retreating them against the urging force of the compression spring 76F. The device is moved forward in the front-rear direction of the apparatus to a position exceeding the end pressing member 31F. In this way, the temporarily stored banknote S is pushed into the storage unit 24F on the front side in the front-rear direction of the apparatus.

  Here, when the temporarily stored banknote S comes into contact with the receiving plate 75F or the stored banknote S, it is sandwiched between the receiving plate 75F or the stored banknote S and the pusher 25F. It is pulled out from the portion 41F and moved as a whole to the storage portion 24F side of the apparatus front-rear direction than the clip 40F. The temporarily stored banknote S is pulled out from the clip 40F and the fixed receiving portion 41F while the upper end is bent or the clip 40F is rotated, and is positioned on the storage portion 24F side beyond the clip 40F.

  Subsequently, when the pusher 25F moves backward, the temporarily stored banknote S moves forward together with the receiving plate 75F or the stored banknote S by the urging force of the compression spring 76F, and holds both banknote end portions of the receiving plate 75F or the stored banknote S and the temporary storage section 23F. The stored bill S is sandwiched between the members 31F and stored in the storage unit 24F. Note that when the retracting pusher 25F leaves, depending on the state, the stored bill S on the pusher 25F side may also protrude to the pusher 25F side, but its upper end abuts on the clip 40F and further to the pusher 25F side. Movement is restricted. As a result, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the clip 40F and the fixing base 41F do not return to the storage pusher mechanism 26 side from the clip 40F of the temporary storage space 30F even when the stored banknote S1 is in a wavy state. And the next temporarily stored banknote S2 guided by is not contacted.

  By temporarily storing the banknotes S in the temporary storage section 23F and storing the temporary storage banknotes S in the storage section 24F one by one, the banknotes S are sequentially accumulated and stored in the longitudinal direction of the apparatus. . At this time, the temporarily stored banknote S is always hung at the same position by the clip 40F and the fixed receiving part 41F, and the position of the receiving plate 75F or the storing banknote S that contacts when stored in the storage part 24F is constant. Therefore, when the paper is pulled out of the clip 40F and the fixed receiving portion 41F and stored in the storage portion 24F, the upper end portion is stored in a state aligned with the already stored bill.

  Similarly, when the banknote S is transported from the branch transport path 19R shown in FIG. 1 to the temporary storage section 23R on the rear side in the front-rear direction of the apparatus, the banknote S is transferred to the roller 36R in the temporary storage section 23R shown in FIG. When the belt 35R is pushed between the clip 40R and the fixed receiving portion 41R and separated from the roller 36R, the belt 35R is sandwiched between the clip 40R and the fixed receiving portion 41R and is suspended in the temporary storage space 30R.

  In this state, when the moving mechanisms 48 and 49 of the storage pusher mechanism 26 advance the pusher 25R on the rear side in the apparatus front-rear direction, the pusher 25R comes into contact with the temporarily stored banknote S and is in front of the apparatus in the front-rear direction. Is pressed toward the storage portion 24R. Then, the pusher 25R holds the temporarily stored banknote S between the receiving plate 75R of the storage unit 24R that comes into contact with both banknote end pressing members 31R, or the stored banknote sandwiched between the receiving plate 75R and the banknote end pressing member 31R. The temporary storage banknote S is moved to a position exceeding the banknote end pressing member 31R while being brought into contact with S and being moved backward against the urging force of the compression spring 76R. In this way, the temporarily stored banknote S is pushed into the storage unit 24R. Also at this time, when the temporarily stored banknote S moves while being in contact with the receiving plate 75R or the storage banknote S, the temporary storage banknote S is pulled out from the clip 40R and the fixed receiving section 41R and as a whole is closer to the storage section 24R than the clip 40R. Moved to. Subsequently, when the pusher 25R is retracted, the temporarily stored banknote S is sandwiched between the receiving plate 75R or the stored banknote S and both banknote end pressing members 31R by the urging force of the compression spring 76R and stored in the storage section 24R. Become.

  As described above, the two storage units 24F and 24R for storing banknotes have the same stacking direction of the banknotes S at the time of storage as the same longitudinal direction of the apparatus, and are arranged in this direction. Note that, for example, the storage unit 24R which is one of the two storage units 24F and 24R, the banknote S for withdrawal to the customer as change or exchange money among the banknotes S received in the banknote processing apparatus 11, specifically, Only stores unstained thousand yen banknotes, and the other storage section 24F, for example, banknotes S received in banknote processing apparatus 11, other banknotes S, specifically 10,000 yen banknotes, five Thousand-yen bills, two-thousand-yen bills, and one-thousand-yen bills that are not suitable for dirty withdrawal are stored by denomination.

  Next, the separating and feeding unit 80 that selectively feeds banknotes from both the storage units 24F and 24R will be described.

The separation roller 92R is restricted from rotating in the direction in which the feeding roller 91R is moved downward by a one-way clutch (not shown), and only rotation in the opposite direction is allowed.

  The separating and feeding part 80 is supported at one end side by a rotation shaft 83F so as to be rotatable and extends upward, and at the other end side, that is, the upper end side of the support arm 95F, in parallel with the rotation shaft 83F. The rotary shaft 96F is provided, and a kick roller (first kick roller) 97F and a pulley 98F are fixed to the rotary shaft 96F. A belt 99F is hung between the pulley 98F and the pulley 87F of the rotating shaft 83F. Therefore, the kick roller 97F always rotates in the same direction in synchronization with the transport roller 84F.

  The support arm 95F is provided with a support shaft 101F parallel to the rotation shaft 83F on the side of the kick roller 97F with respect to the rotation shaft 83F so as to be biased toward the rear part in the front-rear direction of the apparatus. A gear 102F meshing with a gear 85F fixed to the shaft 83F and a pressure contact roller (drive transmission member) 103F are fixed. Accordingly, the pressure roller 103F always rotates in the opposite direction to the kick roller 97F and the conveyance roller 84F. Further, a link shaft 104F is attached to the support arm 95F in parallel with the support shaft 101F at a position opposite to the support shaft 101F in the rear part of the apparatus front-rear direction, that is, toward the kick roller 97F.

  Similarly, the separating / feeding portion 80 is supported at one end side by the rotation shaft 83R so as to be rotatable and extends upward, and the rotation shaft 83R at the other end side, that is, the upper end side of the support arm 95R. , A rotation shaft 96R provided in parallel with the rotation shaft 96R, and a kick roller (second kick roller) 97R and a pulley 98R fixed to the rotation shaft 96R.

  The support arm 95R is provided with a support shaft 101R parallel to the rotation shaft 83R on the side of the kicking roller 97R from the rotation shaft 83R so as to be biased toward the front in the apparatus front-rear direction. A gear 102R meshing with a gear 85R fixed to the moving shaft 83R and a pressure roller (drive transmission member) 103R are fixed. Accordingly, the pressure roller 103R always rotates in the opposite direction to the kick roller 97R and the conveyance roller 84R. Further, a link shaft 104R is attached to the support arm 95R in parallel with the support shaft 101R at a position opposite to the front support shaft 101R in the front-rear direction of the apparatus, that is, at a position close to the kick roller 97R side. .

  As shown in FIG. 11, a conveyance path 107F for guiding the banknote S fed out therefrom is provided below the conveyance roller 84F and the drawing roller 88F of the feeding mechanism portion 81F, and the conveyance roller 84R of the feeding mechanism portion 81R. Also, below the drawing roller 88R, a conveyance path 107R for guiding the banknote S fed out from these is provided, and these conveyance paths 107F and 107R merge to form a merge conveyance path 108.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the gear 86F of the rotating shaft 83F of the feeding mechanism portion 81F and the gear 86R of the rotating shaft 83R of the feeding mechanism portion 81R mesh with each other with the same number of teeth, and these rotating shafts 83F and 83R. A rotating shaft 110 is provided below and in parallel with these. A gear 111 that meshes with the gear 86 </ b> R and a conveyance roller 112 are fixed to the rotation shaft 110. A support shaft 113 is provided in parallel with the rotation shaft 110 on the front side of the conveyance roller 112 in the front-rear direction of the apparatus. ing. The support shaft 113 is provided with a driven roller 116 that rotates with the conveying roller 112 and an impeller 117 shown in FIG. A merging conveyance path 108 is provided between the conveyance roller 112, the driven roller 116, and the impeller 117.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the gear 111 is engaged with a gear 121 fixed to the drive shaft of an electric dispensing motor (drive source) 120, and thus the gear 111 is driven when the dispensing motor 120 is driven. The gear 86R rotates in one direction and the gear 86R rotates in the opposite direction, and the gear 86F rotates in the opposite direction to the gear 86R. The conveying roller 112 rotates so that the driven roller 116 side moves downward.

  The separation feeding unit 80 includes an electric link motor 125 provided with an axis line arranged in the vertical direction, a not-shown bevel gear fixed to the drive shaft of the link motor 125, a not-shown bevel gear meshing with the bevel gear, The bevel gear is fixed and the link shaft 128 is disposed at the center position between the rotation shafts 83F and 83R and extends in the left-right direction of the device. The link shaft 128 is fixed to the link shaft 128 and is centered on the link shaft 128. And a link plate 129 extending upward in a substantially fan shape. In the link plate 129, a substantially rectangular link hole 130 penetrating along the axial direction of the link shaft 128 is formed in an intermediate portion, and the link shaft 128 has an end portion on the opposite side to the link shaft 128. A plurality of sensor detection pieces 131 to 133 that rise along the axial direction, specifically, three sensor detection pieces 131 to 133 are formed at equiangular intervals around the link shaft 128.

  The link shafts 104F and 104R of the support arms 95F and 95R described above are inserted into the link holes 130 of the link plate 129. The support arms 95F and 95R are biased in the opposite direction by a compression spring (not shown) interposed between them. As a result, when the link plate 129 rotates about the link shaft 128, the link hole 130 of the link plate 129 moves, and the link shafts 104F and 104R of the support arms 95F and 95R inserted into the link hole 130. As a result, the support arms 95F and 95R rotate in the same direction as the link plate 129. At this time, the link shafts 104F and 104R are movable within the range of the link hole 130.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the separating and feeding unit 80 is shielded from light by appropriate ones of the sensor detection piece portions 131 to 133 of the link plate 129, thereby detecting two optical types that detect the rotational position of the link plate 129. Link sensors 137F and 137R are provided. As shown in FIG. 12, the link sensors 137F and 137R are in a neutral position where the link plate 129 extends upward from the link shaft 128, the link sensor 137F is the sensor detection piece 131, and the link sensor 137R is the sensor detection piece. In FIG.

  From the state in which the link plate 129 is in the neutral position, that is, the state in which both the link sensors 137F and 137R are shielded from light, the link sensor 137F on the front side in the front-rear direction of the apparatus once detects light passing and is shielded by the sensor detection piece 132. When the link sensor 137R on the rear side in the front-rear direction of the apparatus enters a light-transmitting state where light is not shielded, it is detected that the link plate 129 has tilted to the kick-out position on the front side in the front-rear direction of the apparatus as shown by the broken line in FIG. .

  On the other hand, from the state in which the link plate 129 is in the neutral position, the link sensor 137R on the rear side in the front-rear direction of the apparatus is once shielded from light by the sensor detection piece 132, and the sensor 137F on the front side in the front-rear direction of the apparatus is not shielded. In this state, it is detected that the link plate 129 is tilted to the kicking position on the rear side in the front-rear direction of the apparatus as indicated by a broken line in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 15, when the link motor 125 is driven in the forward direction and the link plate 129 is tilted to the front position in the front-rear direction of the apparatus, the link hole 130 of the link plate 129 also moves forward in the front-rear direction of the apparatus. Accordingly, the support arms 95F and 95R in which the link shafts 104F and 104R are inserted into the link holes 130 rotate so as to move the kick rollers 97F and 97R forward in the apparatus front-rear direction. As a result, the kicking roller 97F on the front side in the front-rear direction of the apparatus moves to the storage part 24F side on the front side in the front-rear direction of the apparatus, and the foremost force of the compression spring (not shown) The bill S can be touched and kicked out. At this time, the kicking roller 97R on the rear side in the apparatus front-rear direction is also irrelevant to the feeding of the banknote S, although it moves to the storage unit 24F side on the front side in the apparatus front-rear direction. Note that the rotational drive of the kick roller 97F is started before the link plate 129 is swung.

  Conversely, when the link motor 125 is driven in the reverse direction and the link plate 129 is tilted to the kicking position on the rear side in the apparatus front-rear direction, the link hole 130 of the link plate 129 also moves rearward in the apparatus front-rear direction. The support arms 95F and 95R in which the link shafts 104F and 104R are inserted into the link holes 130 rotate so as to move the kick rollers 97F and 97R to the rear side in the front-rear direction of the apparatus. As a result, the kicking roller 97R on the rear side in the apparatus front-rear direction moves to the storage part 24R side on the rear side in the apparatus front-rear direction, and the most urging force of the compression spring (not shown) accommodates in the storage part 24R. The banknote S on the front surface can be contacted and kicked out. Also at this time, the kick roller 97F on the front side in the front-rear direction of the apparatus moves to the storage unit 24R side on the rear side in the front-rear direction of the apparatus, but is irrelevant to the payout of the banknote S. As described above, the link motor 125, the two bevel gears (not shown), the link shaft 128, and the link plate 129 constitute the moving unit 140 that moves the kick rollers 97F and 97R.

  Further, when the moving portion 140 rotates the support arms 95F, 95R forward in the apparatus front-rear direction and moves the kick roller 97F on the front side in the apparatus front-rear direction to the storage portion 24F side on the front side, as shown in FIG. The pressure roller 103F of the front support arm 95F is in pressure contact with the front feeding roller 91F and can be driven. Similarly, when the support arm 95R is rotated rearward in the apparatus front-rear direction by the moving part 140 and the kick roller 97R on the rear side in the apparatus front-rear direction is moved toward the storage part 24R on the rear side, The pressure roller 103R of the support arm 95R comes into pressure contact with the feeding roller 91R on the rear side and can be driven.

  In such a separating and feeding unit 80, when the banknote S is stored in the storage units 24F and 24R, the link plate 129 is in the neutral position. In this state, the kick rollers 97F and 97R are stably pressed against both sides of the link hole 130 by a biasing force of a compression spring (not shown), and the kick roller 97F is separated from the banknote S in the storage unit 24F and temporarily. It does not interfere with the banknote S to the storage section 23F, the kick roller 97R is also separated from the banknote S of the storage section 24R and does not interfere with the banknote S to the temporary storage section 23R, and the pressure roller 103F is also fed out. The roller 91F is separated from the roller 91F, and the pressure roller 103R is also separated from the feeding roller 91R.

  In this state, when the banknote S of the storage unit 24F on the front side in the front-rear direction of the apparatus is fed out, the dispensing motor 120 is driven. Then, with the driving force of the dispensing motor 120, the conveying roller 112 rotates on the driven roller 116 side, the conveying roller 84F rotates on the pulling roller 88F side, and the conveying roller 84R rotates on the pulling roller 88R side so as to move downward. At the same time, the kicking roller 97F rotates so as to move the storage unit 24F downward, the kicking roller 97R rotates so as to move the storage unit 24R downward, and the pressure roller 103F further moves the conveyance roller 84F. The pressure roller 103R rotates in the opposite direction to the conveying roller 84R.

  Next, the link motor 125 is driven to tilt the link plate 129 forward in the apparatus front-rear direction. Then, before the link plate 129 stops at the kicking position on the front side in the front-rear direction of the apparatus, the kicking roller 97F comes into contact with the banknote closest to the temporary storage unit 23F in the storage unit 24F, and the tilting of the link plate 129 further advances. At the time of stopping at the extended position, the kicking roller 97F contracts the compression spring and the frictional force increases to a predetermined value or more, and the pressure contact roller 103F on the front side in the front-rear direction of the apparatus comes into contact with the feeding roller 91F. The separation roller 92F is rotated so as to move downward.

  As a result, the banknote S closest to the temporary storage unit 23F in the storage unit 24F is kicked downward by the kicking roller 97F, and is fed downward by the feeding roller 91F while being restricted by the separation roller 92F. . Then, the banknote S is sent from the conveyance path 107F to the merging conveyance path 108 by the conveyance roller 84F and the drawing roller 88F, and further sent down the merging conveyance path 108 by the conveyance roller 112 and the driven roller 116 to be stacked below. It is discharged to the withdrawal unit 142. When the banknote S fed out from the storage unit 24F is detected by the double feed detection sensor 141F arranged in the conveyance path 107F shown in FIG. 11 immediately after the conveyance roller 84F and the drawing roller 88F, the link motor 125 performs the link. The plate 129 is returned to the neutral position. This timing is determined by pressing the bill S before the bill S is fed out by the feeding roller 91F and the separation roller 92F when there is a bill S whose double feeding is restricted by the separation roller 92F. This is the timing at which the roller 103F is separated from the conveying roller 84F, so that intermittent feeding can be reliably performed. Of course, the double feed detection sensor 141F detects this when the banknote S is double fed.

  On the contrary, when the banknote S is fed out from the storage unit 24R on the rear side in the front-rear direction of the apparatus, the withdrawal motor 120 is driven in the same manner as described above, and the link motor 125 is driven in the opposite direction to the link plate. 129 is tilted backward in the longitudinal direction of the apparatus. Then, with the driving force of the dispensing motor 120, as in the above, the transport roller 112 is on the driven roller 116 side, the transport roller 84R is on the pulling roller 88R side, and the kick roller 97R is all on the storage section 24R side downward. Further, the pressure roller 103R rotates in the direction opposite to the conveying roller 84R. When the link plate 129 tilts and stops to the kicking position where the kicking roller 97R is brought into contact with the banknote S on the most temporary storage part 23R side of the storage part 24R, the pressure contact roller 103R on the rear side in the front-rear direction of the apparatus is moved out of the feeding roller 91R. And the separation roller 92R is rotated so as to move downward.

  As a result, the banknote S on the most temporary storage portion 23R side of the storage portion 24R is kicked downward by the kick roller 97R, and is fed downward by the feed roller 91R while being restricted by the separation roller 92R. . Then, the banknote S is sent from the conveyance path 107R to the merging conveyance path 108 by the conveyance roller 84R and the drawing roller 88R, and further sent down the merging conveyance path 108 by the conveyance roller 112 and the driven roller 116 to be stacked below. It is discharged to the withdrawal unit 142. In this case as well, when the bill S fed out from the storage unit 24R is detected by the double feed detection sensor 141R disposed in the transport path 107R shown in FIG. 11 immediately after the transport roller 84R and the pulling roller 88R, the link The motor 125 returns the link plate 129 to the neutral position. Of course, the double feed detection sensor 141R also detects this when the banknote S is double fed.

  From the above, the separating and feeding unit 80 rotates the kick roller 97F and the kick roller 97R by driving the single dispensing motor 120, presses the feed roller 91F, and rotates it. The pressure roller 103R that presses and rotates the feeding roller 91R is also driven and rotated by the same dispensing motor 120, and is further kicked by the kicking roller 97F and is rotated by the feeding roller 91F. The transport roller 84F that transports the fed banknote S and the transport roller 84R that transports the banknote S kicked by the kick roller 97R and transported by the feed roller 91R are also driven by the same dispensing motor 120. Will rotate. In addition, the conveyance roller 84F and the conveyance roller 112 on the downstream side of the conveyance roller 84R are also driven and rotated by the same dispensing motor 120.

  Next, the collecting / dispensing unit 142 that accepts a plurality of banknotes separated and fed from the storage units 24F and 24R one by one by the separating and feeding unit 80 and discharged from the merging conveyance path 108, and withdrawing them in a lump. explain.

As a result, a pocket portion 159 is formed in the lower portion of the integrated pocket member 155. The pocket portion 159 has a concave shape formed by the lower portion of the front plate portion 156 and the side plate portions 157 and the rear plate portion 158. In addition, the pocket part 159 can receive the lower end part of the some banknote S simultaneously, and the accumulation | storage pocket member 155 accumulate | stacks the banknote S on the front board part 156 which inclines forwardly in this state. be able to. The integrated dispensing unit 142 is provided with an optical banknote receiving sensor 160 that detects reception of the banknote S into the pocket unit 159.

  When the actuating member 148 is in the lower predetermined range of the sliding range, the accumulation pocket member 155 is not in contact with the actuating member 148 and is at the lower end position by its own weight or the biasing force of the spring. When in the upper predetermined range above the lower predetermined range, the actuating member 148 comes into contact with and engages with the integrated pocket member 155 to slide it integrally.

  The integrated withdrawal portion 142 has both wall plate portions 28a and 28b (shown only in the wall plate portion 28a in FIG. 16) on the rear side in the apparatus front-rear direction of the accumulation pocket member 155 at the lower limit position and along the apparatus left-right direction. The holding shaft 162 has a holding member 163 that is rotatable about the support shaft 162 from the center position between the wall plate portions 28a and 28b of the support shaft 162 in the longitudinal direction of the apparatus. It extends to the front. The pressing member 163 has a substantially rod shape, is fixed to the support shaft 162, and is provided with a pressing roller 165 that is rotatable around an axis extending in the left-right direction of the apparatus on the extending tip side.

  The integrated withdrawal portion 142 is provided with a guide member 168 having a pair of support plate portions 167 (only one is shown) inside the both wall plate portions 28a and 28b in the left-right direction of the apparatus, and each support plate of the guide member 168 is provided. A pair of synthetic resin sheet members 169 is attached to the front side in the front-rear direction of the device on the side close to the portion 167. These sheet members 169 are all inclined upward in the longitudinal direction of the apparatus. These sheet members 169 have a shorter interval than the short side length of the banknote S, and restrict the movement of the banknote S released to the discharge port 144 side from the sheet member 169 to the withdrawal port 146 side. . These sheet members 169 form a temporary storage space 170 for withdrawal bills on the discharge port 144 side, and a withdrawal accumulation space 171 on the withdrawal port 146 side.

  The pressing member 163 in the state shown in FIG. 16 is located at the rear end position on the rear side in the apparatus front-rear direction of the banknote S to be discharged downward from the discharge port 144 in the state where the thickness direction is the apparatus front-rear direction. A receiving state in which the banknote S is guided to the temporary storage space 170 between the sheet member 169 located on the front side in the apparatus front-rear direction and the lower end portion of the banknote S is inserted into the pocket portion 159 of the stacking pocket member 155, and this receiving state The sheet member 169 from the front and back in the front-rear direction of the apparatus, that is, around the support shaft 162 so as to be positioned on the withdrawal port 146 side, and the banknote S received by the pocket portion 159 of the stacking pocket member 155 is pressed. The sheet member 169 is moved over to be positioned on the front wall portion 147 and the front plate portion 156 side of the accumulation pocket member 155.

  The pressing member 163 is provided between the link plate 172 fixed to one end of the support shaft 162 and the wall plate portion 28a between the link plate 172 and the wall plate portion 28a. A tension spring (biasing member) 173 that biases the cam roller 174 is interposed, and a cam roller 174 that rotates about an axis along the left-right direction of the apparatus is provided below the support shaft 162 and below the link plate 172. It is provided on the rear side in the longitudinal direction of the apparatus.

  The above-mentioned operating member 148 is integrally formed with a cam portion 176 that is inclined backward and downward, and this cam portion 176 contacts the cam roller 174 from above when the operating member 148 is within the above-mentioned lower predetermined range. . When the actuating member 148 is on the upper side of the lower predetermined range, the cam portion 176 contacts the cam roller 174, and further lowers the operating member 148 against the urging force of the tension spring 173. As shown in FIG. 16, the holding member 163 is rotated about the support shaft 162 to the rear side in the front-rear direction of the apparatus. That is, when the cam portion 176 provided on the operating member 148 moves to the side opposite to the withdrawal port 146, it contacts the cam roller 174 of the pressing member 163 and the pressing member 163 resists the biasing force of the tension spring 173 before and after the apparatus. Move to the rear side in the direction (the side opposite to the withdrawal port 146). When the operating member 148 is positioned at the lower limit position, the pressing member 163 is positioned at the rear end position described above. When the operating member 148 is lifted from this state, the cam portion 176 moves the cam roller 174 rearward in the front-rear direction of the apparatus by the urging force of the tension spring 173 as shown in FIG. To the front side in the longitudinal direction of the apparatus.

  When the operating member 148 moves up and reaches the upper predetermined range from the lower predetermined range, the cam portion 176 is separated from the cam roller 174. That is, the actuating member 148 rises toward the withdrawal port 146 and rotates the pressing member 163 toward the front plate portion 156 side of the accumulating pocket member 155, and then comes into contact with the accumulating pocket member 155, as shown in FIG. As shown, the accumulation pocket member 155 is raised toward the upper withdrawal port 146. Accordingly, the integrated pocket member 155 and the pressing member 163 are driven by one lift motor 153 that drives the operating member 148.

  Here, the rear or side door of the vending machine or money changer provided with the banknote handling device 11 is opened by operating a key (not shown), so that the pressing member 163 is manually operated as shown in FIG. As shown, the guide member 168 is rotated further to the rear side in the front-rear direction of the apparatus than the rear end position described above, and maintenance of the integrated dispensing portion 142 is possible.

  As shown in FIG. 16, a plurality of optical lower sensors 177, intermediate sensors 178, and upper sensors 179 are provided on the front side of the operating member 148 in the front-rear direction of the apparatus, with intervals in the sliding direction of the operating member 148. Among these, the lowermost lower sensor 177 detects the detection piece 180 of the operating member 148 when the operating member 148 is located at the lower limit position, and the intermediate sensor 178 includes the operating member 148. When the lower end predetermined range is positioned at the upper end position, the detection piece 180 of the operating member 148 is detected as shown in FIG. 17, and the upper sensor 179 is used when the operating member 148 is positioned at the upper limit position. The detection piece 180 of the operating member 148 is detected.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the withdrawal port 146 is provided with a shutter 184 that can open and close the withdrawal port 146 on the rear side in the longitudinal direction of the apparatus. The shutter 184 is inclined in the front-down direction, and is provided in parallel with the shutter member 185 on the upper side of the shutter member 185 and the shutter member 185 that opens and closes the dispensing port 146 by sliding along the front-rear direction of the apparatus. And a solenoid (drive source) 187 that moves the plunger 186 forward and backward in parallel with the shutter member 185 and a support shaft 189 that extends in the left-right direction of the device above the solenoid 187 and is rotatably supported. The elongated hole 190 is engaged with a pin 191 extending in the left-right direction of the device provided in the plunger 186 of the solenoid 187, and a pin 192 provided in the left-right direction of the device at the tip position is formed in a concave shape on the upper surface side of the shutter member 185. And a link arm 195 to be engaged with the engaging portion 193. When the solenoid 187 is driven, the plunger 186 is moved by an electromagnetic force in a direction to open the dispensing port 146, and when the driving is stopped, the plunger 186 is moved in the reverse direction by a biasing force of a spring (not shown).

  As a result, the shutter 184 is driven around the support shaft 189 by pushing and pulling the link arm 195 in the elongated hole 190 by controlling the driving of the solenoid 187 and moving the plunger 186 forward and backward. Then, the shutter member 185 engaged with the pin 192 at the tip of the link arm 195 is slid to open and close the dispensing port 146.

  A guide member 199 is rotatably provided on the rear side in the apparatus front-rear direction below the dispensing port 146 via a rotation shaft 198 along the apparatus left-right direction. The guide member 199 includes a guide plate portion 200 and an operation arm portion 201 that extend in directions orthogonal to each other from the rotation shaft 198, and the guide plate portion 200 is parallel to the shutter member 185 from the dispensing port 146. The operating arm portion 201 is in a state of being substantially orthogonal to the shutter member 185 in a state of extending to the rear side in the apparatus front-rear direction. A pin 202 extending in the left-right direction of the apparatus is provided on the front side in the apparatus front-rear direction of the engaging portion 193 of the shutter member 185 described above, and an elongated hole 203 in the middle of the operating arm section 201 is engaged with this pin 202. Yes.

  When the shutter member 185 closes the dispensing port 146, the guide member 199 extends from the dispensing port 146 to the rear side in the front-rear direction of the apparatus in parallel with the shutter member 185 as described above. When the shutter member 185 slides in the direction to open the dispensing port 146 as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 11, the elongated hole 203 is pulled by the pin 202 so that the rotation shaft 198 is centered. The guide plate portion 200 protrudes obliquely so as to be positioned on the open side of the shutter 184 toward the accumulation pocket member 155 side from the withdrawal port 146. That is, the guide member 199 projects obliquely from the withdrawal port 146 to the accumulation pocket member 155 side in conjunction with the opening operation of the shutter 184.

  In such an integrated withdrawal part 142, as shown in FIG. 16, the separation and delivery part 80 selectively feeds out from the storage parts 24F and 24R with the operating member 148 positioned at the lower limit position. When the first banknote S is discharged from the discharge port 144, the banknote S is guided between the pressing member 163 at the rear end position and the sheet member 169, and the lower end portion of the stacked pocket member is at the lower limit position. 155 is inserted into the pocket portion 159. In addition, when making change or change money to be withdrawn, for example, the banknotes S are sent to the accumulation / withdrawal unit 142 one by one from the storage unit 24R that stores thousand-yen bills, which are small bills. When collecting the banknotes S of other denominations, the banknotes S are sent to the integrated withdrawal unit 142 one by one from the storage unit 24F.

  When the discharge sensor 145 detects the discharge of the banknote S from the discharge port 144 described above, a control unit (not shown) drives the lift motor 153 and moves the operating member 148 through the pinion gear 152 and the rack gear 151 to the detection piece 180. Until it is detected by the intermediate sensor 178. Then, as shown in FIG. 17, the operating member 148 located at the lower limit position rises to the upper end position of the lower predetermined range. As a result, the cam portion 176 moves the cam roller 174 forward and backward by the biasing force of the tension spring 173. The holding member 163 is rotated about the support shaft 162 to the front side in the front-rear direction of the apparatus. Then, the pressing member 163 presses the banknote S between the sheet member 169 and the banknote S is moved over the sheet member 169, and further pressed by the front wall portion 147 and the front plate portion 156 of the stacking pocket member 155. The roller 165 makes contact.

  As described above, when the detection piece 180 of the actuating member 148 is detected by the intermediate sensor 178, the control unit reverses the lift motor 153 until the actuating member 148 is detected by the lower sensor 177, that is, at the lower limit position. Drive until positioned. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 16, the cam portion 176 of the operating member 148 rotates the pressing member 163 to the rear end position against the urging force of the tension spring 173.

  Thus, after inserting the banknote S into the temporary storage space 170 between the pressing member 163 and the sheet member 169 from the discharge port 144 and inserting the lower end portion into the pocket portion 159, The operation of pushing into the withdrawal accumulation space 171 on the front plate portion 156 side is performed on each of the banknotes S discharged from the discharge port 144. As a result, a plurality of banknotes S to be withdrawn are stacked in the front-rear direction and stacked in the front-rear direction in the front-rear direction of the apparatus.

  When the last banknote S among the banknotes S required for withdrawal is discharged from the discharge port 144, the control unit drives the operating member 148 until the detection piece 180 is detected by the uppermost upper sensor 179. To do. Then, while the actuating member 148 in the lower limit position is raised to the upper end position of the lower predetermined range, the pressing member 163 rotates about the support shaft 189 in the front-rear direction of the apparatus and moves over the banknote S over the sheet member 169. Thus, the bill S is brought into contact with the bill S on the front plate portion 156 side of the stacking pocket member 155, and the bill S is pressed by the pressing roller 165. In the middle of the above, for example, when the intermediate sensor 178 detects that the actuating member 148 has been raised to the upper end position of the lower predetermined range, the control unit drives the solenoid 187 to move the shutter member 185 rearward in the longitudinal direction of the apparatus. The sliding opening 146 is opened to slide the guide plate portion 200 of the guide member 199 downward.

  Further, when the actuating member 148 that is rising as described above reaches the upper predetermined range from the lower predetermined range, the operating member 148 comes into contact with the integrated pocket member 155 and raises the integrated pocket member 155 toward the dispensing port 146. Then, the banknotes S accumulated in the accumulation pocket member 155 are raised together with the accumulation pocket member 155 while rotating the pressing roller 165 while being pressed by the pressing member 163, and the upper end side is the guide plate portion 200 of the guide member 199. Then, it is guided well to the withdrawal port 146 side and protrudes from the withdrawal port 146 as shown in FIG. Note that when the operation member 148 is detected by the upper sensor 179, the banknote S partially protrudes from the dispensing port 146. In this state, the control unit stops the lift motor 153. When the upper sensor 179 detects the detection piece 180 of the operating member 148, the controller stops driving the solenoid 187 and moves the shutter member 185 in the closing direction by the biasing force of a spring (not shown). Thus, the banknote S protruding from the withdrawal port 146 is held between the withdrawal port 146 and the shutter member 185. In this state, the user pulls out the banknote S from the withdrawal port 146.

  When the control unit 150 detects that all the banknotes S protruding from the withdrawal port 146 have been extracted by the sampling sensor 150, the control unit 148 moves down until the detection piece 180 is detected by the lower sensor 177. Then, the actuating member 148 lowers the accumulation pocket member 155 to the lower limit position, and then rotates the pressing member 163 to the rear end position by the cam portion 176 and stops.

  According to the banknote processing apparatus of the present embodiment described above, the banknotes S stored in the two storage units 24F and 24R are stored in any of the storage units 24F and 24R, and these storage units 24F and 24R are also stored. It is fed out by the separation feeding unit 80 provided between the two. Therefore, functionality can be improved. In addition, since the separating and feeding unit 80 for feeding bills from the respective storage units 24F and 24R is provided between the two storage units 24F and 24R, the parts of the separating and feeding unit 80 can be shared, and an increase in cost can be suppressed.

  Further, when the banknote S is fed out from the one storage section 24F, the separating and feeding section 80 moves the kick roller 97F to the one storage section 24F side by the moving section 140 and is stored in the storage section 24F. When the banknote S is fed out from the other storage unit 24R, the separation and feeding unit 80 moves the kick roller 97R to the other storage unit 24R side by the moving unit 140, so that the storage unit 24R is kicked out. The banknote S stored in 24R is kicked out. In this way, it is possible to perform an alternative kick-out from both the storage portions 24F and 24R with a simple structure.

  In addition, when the banknote S is fed out from the one storage unit 24F, the moving unit 140 tilts the link plate 129 toward the one storage unit 24F so that the kick roller 97F and the kick roller 97R are moved to the one storage unit. The bill S stored in the storage unit 24F is kicked by the kick roller 97F by being moved to the 24F side. When the bill S is fed out from the other storage unit 24R, the link plate 129 is stored in the other storage unit 24R. By tilting toward the portion 24R side, the kick roller 97R and the kick roller 97F are moved to the other storage portion 24R side, and the banknote S stored in the storage portion 24R is kicked out by the kick roller 97R. Become. Thus, alternative kicking-out from both the storage parts 24F and 24R can be performed with a simpler structure.

  Furthermore, since the separating / feeding unit 80 rotates the kick roller 97F and the kick roller 97R by driving one dispensing motor 120, it is possible to reliably suppress an increase in cost.
