When there are a plurality of division parts 64 adjacent to each other in the conveyance direction in the upper conveyance area 66, the interval between the adjacent division parts 64 is the maximum value in the conveyance direction length (that is, the length in the short side direction) of the small bundle bills W. Longer than the minimum value and twice as short as the minimum value. As a result, the small bundle of bills W bound by the binding portion 49 is a belt between the adjacent division portions 64 in the upper transport region 66. They are placed in a state of being separated one by one on a placement surface 67 formed on the upper surface of the main body 63. In other words, in the transport belt 61, a plurality of sorting sections 64 are formed on the placement surface 67 on which the small bundle bills W are placed. The sorting portion 64 has a height lower than the thickness of the small bundle banknote W and has an appropriate rigidity. It can be pushed out to the bundle withdrawal port 51 side.

ここで、上部搬送領域66において3つ以上、具体的には4つの区分部64が同時に存在することが可能となっており、その結果、上部搬送領域66に複数具体的には3カ所の載置面67が同時に存在することが可能となっていて、搬送ベルト61は、搬送方向に分離した状態で複数具体的には3つの小束紙幣Wを同時に載置可能となっている。   Here, it is possible for three or more, more specifically, four section portions 64 to exist simultaneously in the upper conveyance area 66, and as a result, a plurality of, specifically, three places in the upper conveyance area 66. The placement surface 67 can exist at the same time, and a plurality of, specifically, three small bundles of bills W can be placed on the transport belt 61 in a state separated in the transport direction.

搬送ベルトコンベア55の上側に設けられた押付ベルト機構56は、搬送ベルトコンベア55の搬送ベルト61に小束紙幣Wを押し付けるためのもので、結束部40の側に機体左右方向に沿って水平に配設されたローラ70と、小束出金口51の側であってローラ70よりも所定量高い位置に機体左右方向に沿って水平に配設されたローラ71と、これらローラ70,71の中間位置にこれらに平行に配設されたローラ72と、これらローラ70〜72に掛けられた無端の押付ベルト73とを有している。ここで、ローラ70,71のうちのいずれか一方が図示略のモータで回転駆動されることで押付ベルト73および他のローラが回転する。   The pressing belt mechanism 56 provided on the upper side of the conveyor belt conveyor 55 is for pressing the small bundle of bills W against the conveyor belt 61 of the conveyor belt conveyor 55, and horizontally on the bundling portion 40 side along the left-right direction of the machine body. A roller 70 disposed, a roller 71 disposed on the side of the small bundle dispensing port 51 and at a position higher than the roller 70 by a predetermined amount horizontally along the left-right direction of the machine body, and the rollers 70, 71 A roller 72 disposed in parallel with the rollers 72 at an intermediate position and an endless pressing belt 73 hung on the rollers 70 to 72 are provided. Here, when either one of the rollers 70 and 71 is driven to rotate by a motor (not shown), the pressing belt 73 and the other rollers rotate.

上記のようにローラ70〜72が配設されていることで、押付ベルト機構56は結束部40側よりも小束出金口51側が若干高くなるように傾斜しており、搬送ベルトコンベア55と平行をなしている。   As the rollers 70 to 72 are disposed as described above, the pressing belt mechanism 56 is inclined so that the small bundle dispensing port 51 side is slightly higher than the binding unit 40 side, They are parallel.

押付ベルト73は、一定幅の無端のベルト本体部75と、このベルト本体部75の外周側から所定の等間隔をあけて外側に立ち上がる複数具体的には14の押付羽根76とを有している。   The pressing belt 73 has an endless belt body 75 having a constant width, and a plurality of specifically 14 pressing blades 76 rising outward from the outer peripheral side of the belt body 75 at a predetermined equal interval. Yes.

ベルト本体部75においてローラ70〜72に掛けられた状態で、押付ベルト73には、その下部側にローラ70,71を結ぶように略直線状をなす下部押付領域78が形成されることになり、この下部押付領域78が、搬送ベルト61の上部搬送領域66の直上でこれと平行をなす。なお、押付ベルト機構56は、この下部押付領域78の移動速度が搬送ベルトコンベア55の上部搬送領域66の移動速度と同じとなるように駆動される。   In a state where the belt 70 is hung on the rollers 70 to 72 in the belt main body 75, the pressing belt 73 is formed with a lower pressing region 78 that is substantially linear so as to connect the rollers 70 and 71 to the lower side thereof. The lower pressing area 78 is parallel to and directly above the upper conveying area 66 of the conveying belt 61. The pressing belt mechanism 56 is driven so that the moving speed of the lower pressing area 78 is the same as the moving speed of the upper conveying area 66 of the conveying belt conveyor 55.

すべての押付羽根76は、下部押付領域78にあるとき、その移動方向に対し直交しかつ幅方向に延在する立壁状をなすようにベルト本体部75に形成されている。下部押付領域78に隣り合う複数の押付羽根76があるとき、隣り合うこれら押付羽根76同士の間隔は、搬送ベルト61の隣り合う区分部64同士の間隔よりも狭く、隣り合う区分部64同士の間に複数具体的には3つの押付羽根76が配置可能な間隔を有している。押付羽根76の突出量は、下部押付領域78と上部搬送領域66との隙間の距離と略同じ長さとされている。なお、押付羽根76は、区分部64に比して剛性が低く、上部搬送領域66の載置面67に小束紙幣Wがある場合にはこれに当接することでその厚みによって撓み、その弾性力でこれを載置面67に押し付ける。   When all the pressing blades 76 are in the lower pressing region 78, they are formed on the belt main body 75 so as to form a standing wall shape that is orthogonal to the moving direction and extends in the width direction. When there are a plurality of adjacent pressing blades 76 in the lower pressing region 78, the interval between the adjacent pressing blades 76 is narrower than the interval between the adjacent partition portions 64 of the conveyor belt 61, and the adjacent partition portions 64 are adjacent to each other. A plurality of, specifically, three pressing blades 76 are arranged at intervals. The protruding amount of the pressing blade 76 is substantially the same as the distance between the lower pressing area 78 and the upper transport area 66. Note that the pressing blade 76 has a lower rigidity than the sorting portion 64, and when there is a small bundle of bills W on the placement surface 67 of the upper transport region 66, the pressing blade 76 is bent by its thickness by abutting it, and its elasticity This is pressed against the mounting surface 67 with force.

そして、搬送ベルトコンベア55の前側には、その搬送ベルト61の上部搬送領域66の略延長上に、小束出金口51の下縁部を構成する水平な載置台部80が配設されており、載置台部80の上方には、小束出金口51を開閉させるシャッタ部82が設けられている。このシャッタ部82は、搬送ベルト61の上部搬送領域66の小束出金口51側の前端部の上方において機体左右方向に沿って水平に延在する回動軸83と、この回動軸83から前下がりに延出し先端側が円弧状に湾曲するシャッタ部材84とを有しており、シャッタ部材84は、その自重によって搬送ベルト61に当接する。   Further, on the front side of the conveyor belt conveyor 55, a horizontal mounting table portion 80 that constitutes the lower edge portion of the small bundle dispensing port 51 is disposed on the substantial extension of the upper conveyor region 66 of the conveyor belt 61. In addition, a shutter portion 82 that opens and closes the small bundle dispensing port 51 is provided above the mounting table portion 80. The shutter portion 82 includes a rotation shaft 83 extending horizontally along the left-right direction of the machine body above the front end portion of the upper conveyance region 66 of the conveyance belt 61 on the small bundle dispensing port 51 side, and the rotation shaft 83. The shutter member 84 has a shutter member 84 that extends forward and downward and curves in a circular arc shape. The shutter member 84 abuts on the conveyance belt 61 by its own weight.

ここで、搬送ベルトコンベア55の区分部64間の載置面67上に載置された小束紙幣Wは、搬送ベルト61の回転でその上部搬送領域66からシャッタ部材84を持ち上げて開きつつ載置台部80上に載せられ、搬送ベルト61の搬送方向後側にある区分部64で押されて小束出金口51から重心位置を前方に所定距離突出させると、自重により機外に落下することになる。シャッタ部材84は小束紙幣Wが落下により離間すると自重で小束出金口51を閉じる。   Here, the small bundle banknotes W placed on the placing surface 67 between the sorting sections 64 of the transport belt conveyor 55 are placed while the shutter member 84 is lifted and opened from the upper transport region 66 by the rotation of the transport belt 61. If the center of gravity is projected forward by a predetermined distance from the small bundle dispensing port 51 by being placed on the pedestal unit 80 and pushed by the sorting unit 64 on the rear side in the conveyance direction of the conveyance belt 61, it falls outside the machine by its own weight. It will be. The shutter member 84 closes the small bundle dispensing port 51 by its own weight when the small bundle banknotes W are separated by dropping.

搬送ベルトコンベア55の小束出金口51側の端部所定位置には、搬送ベルト61の上部搬送領域66にある小束紙幣Wを検出する小束検出センサ86が設けられており、小束出金口51にも小束出金口51にある小束紙幣Wを検出する小束検出センサ87が設けられている。これらの小束検出センサ86,87は小束紙幣Wによって光路が遮断されることで小束紙幣Wが存在することを検出する。   A small bundle detection sensor 86 for detecting a small bundle banknote W in the upper conveyance area 66 of the conveyance belt 61 is provided at a predetermined position on the end of the conveyance belt conveyor 55 on the small bundle dispensing port 51 side. The dispensing port 51 is also provided with a small bundle detection sensor 87 for detecting the small bundle banknote W in the small bundle dispensing port 51. These small bundle detection sensors 86 and 87 detect the presence of the small bundle banknote W when the optical path is blocked by the small bundle banknote W.

以上のような構成の第1実施形態の貨幣入出金機11では、収納部38〜41に収納されたバラ紙幣のうち指定金種のバラ紙幣を結束して小束紙幣Wとする結束処理時と、入金口21に投入されたバラ紙幣のうち指定金種のバラ紙幣を結束して小束紙幣Wとするローカル整理処理時とにおいて、図示せぬ制御部が、バラ紙幣処理部13から束紙幣処理部14に送られた紙幣を集積部48で所定枚数集積させた後、結束部49で結束させて小束紙幣Wとする。   In the money depositing / dispensing machine 11 according to the first embodiment having the above-described configuration, at the time of the bundling process, the rose bills of the designated denomination are bundled to form the small bundle bills W among the rose bills stored in the storage units 38 to 41. And a control unit (not shown) bundles the rose banknotes 13 from the rose banknote processing unit 13 at the time of local organization processing to bundle the rose banknotes of the designated denomination among the rose banknotes inserted into the deposit port 21 into the small bundle banknote W. A predetermined number of banknotes sent to the banknote processing unit 14 are stacked by the stacking unit 48, and then bundled by the binding unit 49 to form a small bundle of banknotes W.

このようにして結束部49で結束された小束紙幣Wが、長手方向を機体左右方向に沿わせた水平姿勢で結束部49から受渡機構部52の押圧板53で押されて、小束搬送部50の搬送ベルトコンベア55に送り出されることになるが、制御部は、受渡機構部52から小束搬送部50へ小束紙幣Wを受け渡し可能なタイミングになると、駆動が許可された条件下においてのみ、上部搬送領域66を小束出金口51側に移動させるように搬送ベルトコンベア55を駆動するとともに、これと同期して、下部押付領域78を小束出金口51側に移動させるように押付ベルト機構56を駆動する。   The small bundle banknotes W bundled in the bundling portion 49 in this way are pushed by the pressing plate 53 of the delivery mechanism portion 52 from the bundling portion 49 in a horizontal posture with the longitudinal direction aligned with the left-right direction of the machine body, and are conveyed in a small bundle. The control unit is sent to the conveyor belt conveyor 55 of the unit 50. When the timing is such that the small bundle banknote W can be delivered from the delivery mechanism unit 52 to the small bundle conveyance unit 50, the controller is allowed to drive. Only, the conveyor belt conveyor 55 is driven so as to move the upper conveyance area 66 to the small bundle dispensing port 51 side, and in synchronization with this, the lower pressing area 78 is moved to the small bundle dispensing port 51 side. The pressing belt mechanism 56 is driven.

次に、制御部は、駆動された搬送ベルトコンベア55に受渡機構部52から小束紙幣Wを送り出させる。このとき、制御部は、搬送ベルトコンベア55の搬送ベルト61の搬送速度と各区分部64の上部搬送領域66へ位置するタイミングとから受渡機構部52の押圧板53を制御して、図2(a)から図2(b)に示すように、上部搬送領域66の最も上流側にある所定の区分部64に対しその後側に近接させるようにして小束紙幣Wの前部を載置面67に載置させる。   Next, the control unit causes the driven conveyor belt conveyor 55 to send out the small bundles of bills W from the delivery mechanism unit 52. At this time, the control section controls the pressing plate 53 of the delivery mechanism section 52 based on the transport speed of the transport belt 61 of the transport belt conveyor 55 and the timing at which the respective section sections 64 are positioned in the upper transport area 66, and FIG. As shown in FIG. 2B from FIG. 2A, the front portion of the small bundle banknote W is placed on the placement surface 67 so as to be close to the rearward side of the predetermined sorting portion 64 on the most upstream side of the upper transport area 66. To be placed.

なお、複数の小束紙幣Wを出金させる場合には、集積部48から集積紙幣が結束部49に受け渡されると次の紙幣の集積を集積部48において開始することになり、結束部49で結束された紙幣が下流側の受渡機構部52に受け渡された後、集積部48で紙幣が所定枚数集積されると次の集積紙幣の結束を結束部49において開始することになるため、小束紙幣Wは間隔をおいて小束搬送部50に搬送されることになる。   When a plurality of small bundle banknotes W are withdrawn, when the stacked banknotes are delivered from the stacking unit 48 to the binding unit 49, the stacking unit 48 starts to stack the next banknotes. After the banknotes bundled in the above are delivered to the downstream delivery mechanism section 52, when a predetermined number of banknotes are stacked in the stacking section 48, binding of the next stacked banknotes is started in the binding section 49. The small bundle banknotes W are conveyed to the small bundle conveyance unit 50 at intervals.

上記のようにして、上部搬送領域66の最も上流側にある所定の区分部64に近接して小束紙幣Wの前部を載置面67に載置させ、図2(c)に示すように、搬送ベルト61の搬送速度に合わせて受渡機構部52の押圧板53で小束紙幣Wを押すと、この小束紙幣Wには、図3(a)に示すように、上側の押付ベルト機構56の押付羽根76が上側から接触して弾性変形し、図3(b)に示すように、この押付羽根76の弾性力で小束紙幣Wが載置面67に押し付けられる。   As described above, the front portion of the small bundle banknote W is placed on the placement surface 67 in the vicinity of the predetermined sorting portion 64 on the most upstream side of the upper transport region 66, as shown in FIG. Further, when the small bundle banknote W is pushed by the pressing plate 53 of the delivery mechanism section 52 in accordance with the conveyance speed of the conveyance belt 61, the upper bundle belt W is placed on the small bundle banknote W as shown in FIG. The pressing blade 76 of the mechanism 56 is elastically deformed by contacting from above, and the small bundle bill W is pressed against the placement surface 67 by the elastic force of the pressing blade 76 as shown in FIG.

すると、小束紙幣Wは、回転する搬送ベルト61の載置面67の摩擦力で載置面67とともに小束出金口51側に移動する。このようにして小束紙幣Wが小束出金口51側にさらに移動すると、図3(c)に示すように、次の押付羽根76がこの小束紙幣Wを載置面67に押し付けるとともに、これと前後して次の区分部64が小束紙幣Wの後側で上部搬送領域66に至る。このようにして小束紙幣Wが搬送ベルトコンベア55の区分部64と区分部64との間の載置面67に載置される。そして、さらなる搬送ベルト61の回転で、小束紙幣Wが小束出金口51側に移動すると、図4(a)から図4(b)に示すように、さらに次の押付羽根76が小束紙幣Wを載置面67に押し付ける。このようにして搬送ベルトコンベア55の区分部64と区分部64との間の載置面67に載置された小束紙幣Wが、上側の押付ベルト機構56の3つの押付羽根76によって載置面67に押し付けられながら、搬送ベルト61の回転による上部搬送領域66の小束出金口51側への移動で小束出金口51側に向けて搬送される。   Then, the small bundle banknote W moves to the small bundle dispensing port 51 side together with the placement surface 67 by the frictional force of the placement surface 67 of the rotating transport belt 61. When the small bundle banknote W further moves to the small bundle dispensing port 51 side in this way, the next pressing blade 76 presses the small bundle banknote W against the placement surface 67 as shown in FIG. Before and after this, the next sorting section 64 reaches the upper transport area 66 on the rear side of the small bundle bill W. In this way, the small banknotes W are placed on the placement surface 67 between the sorting section 64 and the sorting section 64 of the conveyor belt conveyor 55. When the small bundle banknote W moves to the small bundle dispensing port 51 side by further rotation of the transport belt 61, the next pressing blade 76 is further small as shown in FIGS. 4 (a) to 4 (b). The bundled banknote W is pressed against the placement surface 67. In this way, the small banknotes W placed on the placing surface 67 between the sorting section 64 and the sorting section 64 of the conveyor belt conveyor 55 are placed by the three pressing blades 76 of the upper pressing belt mechanism 56. While being pressed against the surface 67, the upper conveying area 66 is moved toward the small bundle dispensing port 51 side by the rotation of the conveying belt 61 and is conveyed toward the small bundle dispensing port 51 side.

そして、この小束紙幣Wは、図4(c)に示すように、上部搬送領域66の前端所定位置まで送られるとその先端部の通過が小束検出センサ86で検出され、その後、図5(a)に示すように、搬送ベルト61の上部搬送領域66からシャッタ部材84を持ち上げながら、図5(b)に示すように、載置台部80上に載せられ、搬送ベルト61の載置面67の摩擦力で載置台部80上を前方に滑りながら移動して、小束出金口51から機外に一部突出する。   Then, as shown in FIG. 4 (c), when the small bundle banknote W is sent to a predetermined position at the front end of the upper conveyance area 66, the passage of the leading end is detected by the small bundle detection sensor 86, and thereafter, FIG. As shown in FIG. 5A, while lifting the shutter member 84 from the upper conveyance area 66 of the conveyance belt 61, it is placed on the placement table 80 as shown in FIG. 5B, and the placement surface of the conveyance belt 61. It moves while sliding forward on the mounting table 80 with a frictional force of 67, and partially projects out of the machine from the small bundle dispensing port 51.

制御部は、図5(b)に示すように、この小束紙幣Wの後端部の通過が小束検出センサ86で検出されたタイミングに基づいて、搬送ベルトコンベア55および押付ベルト機構56を停止させることになり、これにより、小束紙幣Wは、小束出金口51から機外に一部突出した状態で停止する。この状態で、操作者による小束紙幣Wの取り出しを待つことになる。   As shown in FIG. 5 (b), the control unit controls the conveyor belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56 based on the timing at which the passage of the rear end portion of the small bundle banknote W is detected by the small bundle detection sensor 86. As a result, the small bundle banknotes W are stopped in a state in which they partially protrude from the small bundle dispensing port 51 to the outside of the machine. In this state, the operator waits for taking out the small bundle of bills W.

そして、小束紙幣Wが小束出金口51から取り出されたことが小束出金口51の小束検出センサ87で検出されると、制御部は、搬送ベルトコンベア55および押付ベルト機構56の駆動を許可することになり、次に出金させる小束紙幣Wが受渡機構部52で小束搬送部50の直前位置まで搬送され、受渡機構部52から小束搬送部50へ小束紙幣Wを受け渡し可能なタイミングになると、上記と同様にして、この小束紙幣Wの搬送ベルトコンベア55への受け渡しから小束出金口51に向けての搬送が開始される。なお、集積部48で集積された紙幣が所定枚数に満たないバラの端数紙幣Sである場合、この端数紙幣Sは、結束部49で結束が行われないものの小束紙幣Wと同様に小束搬送部50で小束出金口51に搬送され、図5(c)に示すようにシャッタ部材84で押さえられながら小束出金口51から一部突出した状態で停止させられて、操作者による取り出しを待つことになる。   When it is detected by the small bundle detection sensor 87 of the small bundle dispensing port 51 that the small bundle banknote W has been taken out from the small bundle dispensing port 51, the control unit performs the conveyance belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56. The small bundle banknote W to be withdrawn next is conveyed to the position immediately before the small bundle conveyance section 50 by the delivery mechanism section 52, and the small bundle banknote is transferred from the delivery mechanism section 52 to the small bundle conveyance section 50. When the timing at which W can be delivered is reached, the delivery of the small bundle of bills W from the delivery belt conveyor 55 to the small bundle dispensing port 51 is started in the same manner as described above. In addition, when the banknotes collected by the stacking unit 48 are the fractional banknotes S of less than a predetermined number, the fractional banknotes S are small bundles like the small bundle banknotes W that are not bound by the binding unit 49. It is conveyed to the small bundle dispensing port 51 by the conveyance unit 50 and stopped in a state of partially protruding from the small bundle dispensing port 51 while being pressed by the shutter member 84 as shown in FIG. It will wait for removal by.

なお、小束出金口51の前に小束紙幣Wを受け取る受け皿等が配置される場合には、制御部は、小束紙幣Wの後端部が小束検出センサ86で検出されても搬送ベルトコンベア55および押付ベルト機構56を停止させずに駆動し続けるようにする。この場合、小束紙幣Wは、図6に示すように、搬送ベルト61の搬送方向後側にある区分部64でさらに前方に押され、小束出金口51から重心位置を前方に所定距離突出させることで、自重によりシャッタ部材84を回動させながら機外に落下することになる。そして、小束紙幣Wが小束出金口51から放出されたことが小束検出センサ87で検出されると、制御部は、搬送ベルトコンベア55および押付ベルト機構56の駆動を許可することになり、次に出金させる小束紙幣Wが受渡機構部52から小束搬送部50へ受け渡し可能なタイミングになると、小束搬送部50への受け渡しを開始させる。他方、次に出金させる小束紙幣Wが受渡機構部52から小束搬送部50へ受け渡し可能なタイミングになければ、搬送ベルトコンベア55および押付ベルト機構56を停止させる。   In addition, when the tray etc. which receive the small bundle banknote W are arrange | positioned in front of the small bundle dispensing port 51, even if the rear-end part of the small bundle banknote W is detected by the small bundle detection sensor 86, the control part. The conveying belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56 are continuously driven without being stopped. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, the small bundle banknote W is pushed further forward by the section 64 on the rear side in the conveyance direction of the conveyance belt 61, and the center of gravity position is moved forward by a predetermined distance from the small bundle dispensing port 51. By projecting, the shutter member 84 falls out of the apparatus while being rotated by its own weight. When the small bundle detection sensor 87 detects that the small bundle banknote W has been discharged from the small bundle dispensing port 51, the control unit permits the driving of the conveyor belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56. At a timing when the small bundle banknote W to be dispensed next can be delivered from the delivery mechanism section 52 to the small bundle transport section 50, the delivery to the small bundle transport section 50 is started. On the other hand, if the small bundle banknote W to be withdrawn next is not at a timing at which it can be delivered from the delivery mechanism section 52 to the small bundle transport section 50, the transport belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56 are stopped.

以上に述べた第1実施形態の貨幣入出金機11によれば、小束出金口51の直前位置に設けられた搬送ベルト61が、小束紙幣Wの搬送方向長さより長い間隔で形成された複数の区分部64の隣り合うもの同士の間に小束紙幣Wを載置させて小束出金口51に搬送するため、高さを制限しつつ小束紙幣Wを小束紙幣W同士を分離した状態で円滑に小束出金口51から出金させることができる。   According to the money depositing and dispensing machine 11 of the first embodiment described above, the conveyance belt 61 provided at the position immediately before the small bundle dispensing port 51 is formed at an interval longer than the length in the conveyance direction of the small bundle banknote W. In order to place the small bundle banknotes W between adjacent ones of the plurality of sorting sections 64 and transport them to the small bundle dispensing port 51, the small bundle banknotes W are placed between the small bundle banknotes W while limiting the height. Can be smoothly withdrawn from the small bundle dispensing port 51 in a state in which they are separated.

また、搬送ベルト61の上側に設けられた押付ベルト機構56が、小束紙幣Wを搬送ベルト61の載置面67に押し付けるため、区分部64の隣り合うもの同士の間の載置面67に載置させられた小束紙幣Wをその状態に良好に維持しつつ搬送できる。   Further, since the pressing belt mechanism 56 provided on the upper side of the transport belt 61 presses the small bundle bills W against the mounting surface 67 of the transport belt 61, the pressing surface is arranged on the mounting surface 67 between the adjacent ones of the sorting portions 64. The small bundle banknotes W placed thereon can be conveyed while maintaining the state in good condition.

次に、本発明の第2実施形態の貨幣入出金機を主に図1、図2、図7および図8を参照して以下に第1実施形態との相違部分を中心に説明する。なお、第1実施形態と同様の部分は同一の符号を付しその説明は略す。
第2実施形態では、第1実施形態に対し制御部の制御内容を変更しており、その構造は図1および図2に示す第1実施形態と同じである。
Next, the money depositing and dispensing machine according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, 7 and 8 mainly on the differences from the first embodiment. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the part similar to 1st Embodiment, and the description is abbreviate | omitted.
In 2nd Embodiment, the control content of the control part is changed with respect to 1st Embodiment, The structure is the same as 1st Embodiment shown in FIG. 1 and FIG.

つまり、上記した構造の貨幣入出金機11においては、図2に示すように、搬送ベルト61が、上部搬送領域66において3つ以上、具体的には4つの区分部64が同時に存在することが可能となっており、その結果、搬送ベルト61には、複数具体的には3つの小束紙幣Wを同時に、搬送方向に分けて3カ所の載置面67に載置可能となっている。このため、第2実施形態では、一度の結束処理において、複数束の小束紙幣Wを出金させる場合に、一束分ずつ集積され一束ずつ結束が行われることによって、複数束の小束紙幣Wが比較的長い間隔をあけて搬送ベルト61へ送り出される場合であっても、複数の小束紙幣Wを出金前に可能な限り纏めて小束出金口51から連続的に出金させる。   That is, in the money depositing / dispensing machine 11 having the above-described structure, as shown in FIG. 2, there may be three or more conveyor belts 61 in the upper conveyance area 66, specifically, four division parts 64. As a result, a plurality of, specifically, three small bundles of banknotes W can be simultaneously placed on the transport belt 61 in the transport direction and placed on three placement surfaces 67. For this reason, in the second embodiment, when a plurality of small bundles of banknotes W are dispensed in a single bundling process, the bundles are collected one by one and bundled one by one, whereby a plurality of small bundles are bundled. Even when the banknotes W are sent out to the conveyor belt 61 with a relatively long interval, a plurality of small bundle banknotes W are gathered together as much as possible before withdrawal, and are continuously withdrawn from the small bundle withdrawal port 51. Let

例えば、一度の処理で出金させる小束紙幣Wが4束である場合には、図7(a)に示すように、結束部49で結束された1束目の小束紙幣Wが、結束部49から受渡機構部52を介して小束搬送部50の搬送ベルトコンベア55に受け渡し可能なタイミングになると、制御部は、上部搬送領域66を小束出金口51側に移動させるように搬送ベルトコンベア55を駆動するとともに、これと同期して押付ベルト機構56を駆動する。そして、制御部は、上記と同様にして、駆動された搬送ベルトコンベア55の上部搬送領域66の最も上流側にある所定の区分部64に対しその後側に近接するようにして小束紙幣Wを送り出させ、次の区分部64がこの小束紙幣Wの後側で上部搬送領域66に至り、図7(b)に示すように、1束目の小束紙幣Wが搬送ベルトコンベア55の区分部64と区分部64との間の最も上流側の載置面67に載置されるタイミングに基づいて、搬送ベルトコンベア55および押付ベルト機構56を停止させる。   For example, when there are four small bundles of banknotes W to be withdrawn in a single process, the first bundle of banknotes W bound by the binding unit 49 is bound as shown in FIG. When it is time to transfer from the section 49 to the transport belt conveyor 55 of the small bundle transport section 50 through the delivery mechanism section 52, the control section transports the upper transport area 66 to the small bundle dispensing port 51 side. The belt conveyor 55 is driven, and the pressing belt mechanism 56 is driven in synchronization therewith. Then, in the same manner as described above, the control unit puts the small bundle of bills W so as to be close to the rear side of the predetermined sorting unit 64 located on the most upstream side of the upper transport region 66 of the driven transport belt conveyor 55. The next sorting section 64 reaches the upper transport area 66 on the rear side of the small bundle banknote W, and the first bundle banknote W is separated from the conveyor belt conveyor 55 as shown in FIG. The conveyor belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56 are stopped based on the timing of placing on the most upstream placing surface 67 between the section 64 and the sorting section 64.

制御部は、次に出金させる2束目の小束紙幣Wが結束部49から受渡機構部52を介して小束搬送部50の搬送ベルトコンベア55に受け渡し可能なタイミングになると、上部搬送領域66を小束出金口51側に移動させるように搬送ベルトコンベア55を駆動するとともに、これと同期して押付ベルト機構56を駆動する。制御部は、上記と同様にして、駆動された搬送ベルトコンベア55の1束目の小束紙幣Wに後側で隣り合う所定の区分部64に対しその後側に近接するようにして2束目の小束紙幣Wを送り出させる。そして、次の区分部64が2束目の小束紙幣Wの後側で上部搬送領域66に至り、その結果、2束目の小束紙幣Wが搬送ベルトコンベア55の区分部64と区分部64との間の最も上流側の載置面67に載置されるタイミングに基づいて、制御部が、搬送ベルトコンベア55および押付ベルト機構56を停止させる。   When the control unit reaches a timing at which the second bundle of bills W to be dispensed next can be delivered from the bundling unit 49 via the delivery mechanism unit 52 to the conveyance belt conveyor 55 of the small bundle conveyance unit 50, the upper conveyance region The conveyor belt conveyor 55 is driven so as to move 66 to the small bundle dispensing port 51 side, and the pressing belt mechanism 56 is driven in synchronization therewith. In the same manner as described above, the control unit moves closer to the rear side of the predetermined bundled part 64 adjacent to the first bundle of bills W on the rear side of the driven conveyor belt conveyor 55 so that the second bundle A small bundle of bills W is sent out. Then, the next sorting unit 64 reaches the upper conveyance area 66 on the rear side of the second bundle banknote W, and as a result, the second bundle banknote W is separated from the sorting unit 64 and the sorting unit of the conveyor belt conveyor 55. The control unit stops the conveyor belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56 based on the timing of being placed on the most upstream placing surface 67 between the conveyor belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56.

制御部は、次に出金させる3束目の小束紙幣Wが結束部49から受渡機構部52を介して小束搬送部50の搬送ベルトコンベア55に受け渡し可能なタイミングになると、上部搬送領域66を小束出金口51側に移動させるように搬送ベルトコンベア55を駆動するとともに、これと同期して押付ベルト機構56を駆動する。制御部は、上記と同様にして、駆動された搬送ベルトコンベア55の2束目の小束紙幣Wに後側で隣り合う所定の区分部64に対しその後側に近接するようにして3束目の小束紙幣Wを送り出させる。そして、次の区分部64が3束目の小束紙幣Wの後側で上部搬送領域66に至り、図7(c)に示すように、3束目の小束紙幣Wが搬送ベルトコンベア55の区分部64と区分部64との間の最も上流側の載置面67に載置されるタイミングに基づいて、制御部が、搬送ベルトコンベア55および押付ベルト機構56を停止させる。なお、この状態では、搬送ベルトコンベア55の搬送ベルト61上に同時に3束の小束紙幣Wが、区分部64で搬送方向に分離されて載置された状態となる。   When the control unit comes to a timing at which the third bundle of banknotes W to be dispensed next can be delivered from the bundling unit 49 to the conveyance belt conveyor 55 of the small bundle conveyance unit 50 via the delivery mechanism unit 52, the upper conveyance region The conveyor belt conveyor 55 is driven so as to move 66 to the small bundle dispensing port 51 side, and the pressing belt mechanism 56 is driven in synchronization therewith. In the same manner as described above, the control unit moves closer to the rear side of the predetermined bundled part 64 adjacent to the second bundle of small bundles W of the driven conveyor belt 55 on the rear side. A small bundle of bills W is sent out. Then, the next sorting section 64 reaches the upper conveyance area 66 on the rear side of the third bundle banknote W, and the third bundle banknote W is conveyed to the conveyor belt conveyor 55 as shown in FIG. The control unit stops the conveyor belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56 based on the timing of being placed on the most upstream placing surface 67 between the sorting unit 64 and the sorting unit 64. In this state, three bundles of small banknotes W are simultaneously separated and placed on the transport belt 61 of the transport belt conveyor 55 by the sorting unit 64 in the transport direction.

制御部は、次に出金させる4束目の小束紙幣Wが結束部49から受渡機構部52を介して小束搬送部50の搬送ベルトコンベア55に受け渡し可能なタイミングになると、上部搬送領域66を小束出金口51側に移動させるように搬送ベルトコンベア55を駆動するとともに、これと同期して押付ベルト機構56を駆動する。制御部は、上記と同様にして、駆動された搬送ベルトコンベア55の3束目の小束紙幣Wに後側で隣り合う所定の区分部64に対しその後側に近接するようにして4束目の小束紙幣Wを送り出させる。そして、1束目の小束紙幣Wの後端部の通過が小束検出センサ86で検出されたタイミングに基づいて、搬送ベルトコンベア55および押付ベルト機構56を停止させることになり、これにより、1束目の小束紙幣Wは、小束出金口51から機外に一部突出した状態で停止する。この状態で、操作者による1束目の小束紙幣Wの取り出しを待つことになる。   When the control unit reaches a timing at which the fourth bundle of banknotes W to be dispensed next can be delivered from the bundling unit 49 to the conveyance belt conveyor 55 of the small bundle conveyance unit 50 via the delivery mechanism unit 52, the upper conveyance region The conveyor belt conveyor 55 is driven so as to move 66 to the small bundle dispensing port 51 side, and the pressing belt mechanism 56 is driven in synchronization therewith. In the same manner as described above, the control unit approaches the third bundle of banknotes W of the driven conveyor belt conveyor 55 on the rear side so that the predetermined bundle portion 64 adjacent on the rear side approaches the fourth bundle. A small bundle of bills W is sent out. Then, based on the timing at which the passage of the rear end portion of the first bundle of banknotes W is detected by the small bundle detection sensor 86, the conveyor belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56 are stopped. The first bundle of banknotes W is stopped in a state where it partially protrudes from the small bundle dispensing port 51 to the outside of the machine. In this state, the operator waits for the first bundle of banknotes W to be taken out.

そして、1束目の小束紙幣Wが小束出金口51から取り出されたことが小束検出センサ87で検出されると、制御部は、即座に搬送ベルトコンベア55および押付ベルト機構56を駆動し、2束目の小束紙幣Wの後端部の通過が小束検出センサ86で検出されたタイミングに基づいて、搬送ベルトコンベア55および押付ベルト機構56を再び停止させることになる。これにより、1束目の小束紙幣Wが取り出された後の小束出金口51から速やかに2束目の小束紙幣Wが一部突出する状態となり、操作者による取り出しを待つことになる。   When the small bundle detection sensor 87 detects that the first bundle of banknotes W has been taken out from the small bundle dispensing port 51, the control unit immediately turns the conveyor belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56 on. The conveyor belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56 are stopped again based on the timing when the small bundle detection sensor 86 detects the passage of the rear end portion of the second bundle of bills W. Thereby, a part of the second bundle of banknotes W quickly protrudes from the small bundle dispensing port 51 after the first bundle of banknotes W is taken out, and waiting for the operator to remove it. Become.

2束目の小束紙幣Wが小束出金口51から取り出されたことが小束検出センサ87で検出されると、制御部は、即座に搬送ベルトコンベア55および押付ベルト機構56を駆動し、3束目の小束紙幣Wの後端部の通過が小束検出センサ86で検出されたタイミングに基づいて、搬送ベルトコンベア55および押付ベルト機構56を再び停止させることになる。これにより、2束目の小束紙幣Wが取り出された後の小束出金口51から速やかに3束目の小束紙幣Wが一部突出する状態となり、操作者による取り出しを待つことになる。   When the small bundle detection sensor 87 detects that the second bundle of banknotes W has been taken out from the small bundle dispensing port 51, the control unit immediately drives the conveyor belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56. Based on the timing at which the small bundle detection sensor 86 detects the passage of the rear end of the third bundle of banknotes W, the conveyor belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56 are stopped again. As a result, a part of the third bundle of banknotes W quickly protrudes from the small bundle dispensing port 51 after the second bundle of banknotes W has been taken out, and waiting for removal by the operator. Become.

3束目の小束紙幣Wが小束出金口51から取り出されたことが小束検出センサ87で検出されると、制御部は、即座に搬送ベルトコンベア55および押付ベルト機構56を駆動し、4束目の小束紙幣Wの後端部の通過が小束検出センサ86で検出されたタイミングに基づいて、搬送ベルトコンベア55および押付ベルト機構56を再び停止させることになる。これにより、3束目の小束紙幣Wが取り出された後の小束出金口51から速やかに4束目の小束紙幣Wが一部突出する状態となり、操作者による取り出しを待つことになる。   When the small bundle detection sensor 87 detects that the third bundle of banknotes W has been taken out from the small bundle dispensing port 51, the control unit immediately drives the conveyor belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56. The transport belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56 are again stopped based on the timing at which the passage of the rear end portion of the fourth bundle banknote W is detected by the small bundle detection sensor 86. As a result, a part of the fourth bundle of banknotes W immediately protrudes from the small bundle dispensing port 51 after the third bundle of banknotes W is taken out, and waiting for removal by the operator. Become.

4束目の小束紙幣Wが小束出金口51から取り出されたことが小束検出センサ87で検出されると、制御部は、4束の小束紙幣Wの出金が終了したと判断する。   When the small bundle detection sensor 87 detects that the fourth bundle of banknotes W has been taken out from the small bundle dispensing port 51, the control unit has finished dispensing the four bundles of small bundles W. to decide.

なお、一度の結束処理で、小束紙幣Wを4束を超えて出金させる場合には、上記のように、可能な限り多くの小束紙幣Wを搬送ベルトコンベア55の搬送ベルト61上に同時に載置させた状態とするとともに受渡機構部52から小束搬送部50に小束紙幣Wを受け渡し可能な状態として、小束出金口51から順次繰り出すことを適宜繰り返すことになる。また、一度の結束処理で、4束より少ない小束紙幣Wを出金させる場合も、可能な限り多くの小束紙幣Wを搬送ベルトコンベア55の搬送ベルト61上に同時に載置させる状態とし搬送ベルト61上の小束紙幣Wを小束出金口51に可能な限り近接させた状態として、搬送ベルト61上の小束紙幣Wを小束出金口51に順次突出させるように繰り出させることになる。   In the case of dispensing more than four bundles of small bundle bills W in a single binding process, as many small bundle bills W as possible are placed on the conveyor belt 61 of the conveyor belt conveyor 55 as described above. Assuming that the small bundle banknote W can be delivered from the delivery mechanism unit 52 to the small bundle transport unit 50, the sequential feeding from the small bundle dispensing port 51 is repeated as appropriate. Further, even when a small bundle of banknotes W less than 4 bundles is withdrawn in a single bundling process, as many small bundles of banknotes W as possible are placed on the conveyor belt 61 of the conveyor belt conveyor 55 and conveyed. Assuming that the small bundle banknote W on the belt 61 is as close as possible to the small bundle dispensing port 51, the small bundle banknote W on the conveying belt 61 is fed out so as to sequentially protrude to the small bundle dispensing port 51. become.

また、小束出金口51の前に小束紙幣Wを受け取る受け皿等が配置される場合には、上記と同様にして、可能な限り多くの小束紙幣Wを搬送ベルトコンベア55の搬送ベルト61上に同時に載置させた状態とした後に、図8に示すように、小束受渡部52で小束紙幣Wを搬送ベルト61に受け渡しつつ小束紙幣Wの後端部の通過が小束検出センサ86で検出されても搬送ベルトコンベア55および押付ベルト機構56を停止させずに駆動し続けるようにする。すると、搬送ベルト61上に同時に載置された複数の小束紙幣Wが、区分部64で押され、大きな間隔をあけずに連続的に機外に放出されることになる。   Further, when a tray or the like for receiving the small bundle banknotes W is disposed in front of the small bundle dispensing port 51, as many small bundle banknotes W as possible are conveyed on the conveyor belt of the conveyor belt conveyor 55 in the same manner as described above. 8, after passing the small bundle banknote W to the transport belt 61 by the small bundle delivery section 52, the passage of the rear end portion of the small bundle banknote W is small bundle as shown in FIG. Even if detected by the detection sensor 86, the conveying belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56 are continuously driven without being stopped. Then, a plurality of small bundles of bills W placed on the conveyor belt 61 at the same time are pushed by the sorting unit 64 and are continuously discharged out of the apparatus without leaving a large interval.

以上のような第2実施形態の貨幣入出金機11によれば、搬送ベルト61が、搬送方向に分離した状態で複数の小束紙幣Wを同時に載置させるため、搬送ベルト61へ複数束の小束紙幣Wが間隔をあけて送り出される場合であっても、複数の小束紙幣Wを出金前に纏めることができ、纏めて小束出金口51から出金させることができる。したがって、受け取る側が複数束を纏めて受け取ることができ、受け取りが容易となる。   According to the money depositing and dispensing machine 11 according to the second embodiment as described above, a plurality of small bundles of bills W are simultaneously placed in a state where the conveyance belt 61 is separated in the conveyance direction. Even when the small bundle banknotes W are sent out at intervals, a plurality of small bundle banknotes W can be collected before dispensing, and can be dispensed from the small bundle dispensing port 51 collectively. Therefore, the receiving side can receive a plurality of bundles together, and reception is easy.

次に、本発明の第3実施形態の貨幣入出金機を主に図9〜図11を参照して以下に第1実施形態との相違部分を中心に説明する。なお、第1実施形態と同様の部分は同一の符号を付しその説明は略す。   Next, the money depositing and dispensing machine according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 9 to 11 mainly on the differences from the first embodiment. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the part similar to 1st Embodiment, and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

第3実施形態においては、載置台部80に、搬送ベルトコンベア55から押し出された小束紙幣Wを載置させる載置板90と、これを上方に持ち上げるソレノイド91とを備えた離間機構(離間手段)92が設けられている。この離間機構92は、小束出金口51から機外に一部突出する状態で載置板90に載置された小束紙幣Wを搬送ベルト61が回転しても区分部64に接触しない位置まで持ち上げる。なお、図示は略すが、載置板90には区分部64との干渉を避けるスリットが形成されている。また、小束出金口51に近接して緑色ランプ94および赤色ランプ95が設けられている。   In 3rd Embodiment, the separation mechanism (separation) provided with the mounting board 90 which mounts the small bundle banknote W extruded from the conveyance belt conveyor 55 on the mounting base part 80, and the solenoid 91 which lifts this upwards. Means) 92 is provided. The separation mechanism 92 does not come into contact with the sorting portion 64 even if the transport belt 61 rotates the small bundle banknote W placed on the placement plate 90 in a state of partially protruding from the small bundle dispensing port 51. Lift to position. Although not shown, the mounting plate 90 is formed with a slit that avoids interference with the section 64. Further, a green lamp 94 and a red lamp 95 are provided in the vicinity of the small bundle dispensing port 51.

そして、第3実施形態においても、一度の結束処理において、複数束の小束紙幣Wを出金させる場合に、一束分ずつ集積され一束ずつ結束が行われることによって、複数束の小束紙幣Wが比較的長い間隔をあけて搬送ベルト61へ送り出される場合であっても、第2実施形態と同様に複数の小束紙幣Wを出金前に可能な限り纏めて小束出金口51から連続的に出金させることになり、その際に、小束出金口51に1束目の小束紙幣Wを突出させた状態で待機する。   Also in the third embodiment, when a plurality of bundles of small banknotes W are withdrawn in a single bundling process, the bundles are collected one by one and are bundled one by one. Even when the banknotes W are sent out to the conveyor belt 61 with a relatively long interval, a plurality of small bundle banknotes W are gathered together as much as possible before dispensing as in the second embodiment. In this case, the system waits with the first bundle of banknotes W protruding from the small bundle dispensing port 51.

例えば、一度の処理で出金させる小束紙幣Wが5束である場合には、結束部49で結束された1束目の小束紙幣Wが、図9(a)に示すように、結束部49から受渡機構部52を介して小束搬送部50の搬送ベルトコンベア55に受け渡し可能なタイミングになると、制御部は、赤色ランプ95のみを点灯させるとともに、上部搬送領域66を小束出金口51側に移動させるように搬送ベルトコンベア55を駆動し、これと同期して押付ベルト機構56を駆動する。そして、制御部は、上記と同様にして、駆動された搬送ベルトコンベア55の上部搬送領域66における最も上流側の所定の区分部64に対しその後側に近接するようにして小束紙幣Wを送り出させると、次の区分部64がこの小束紙幣Wの後側で上部搬送領域66に至り、1束目の小束紙幣Wが搬送ベルトコンベア55の区分部64と区分部64との間の載置面67に載置される。駆動が続けられる搬送ベルト61によって、1束目の小束紙幣Wが小束出金口51側に搬送され、その後端部の通過が小束検出センサ86で検出されたタイミングに基づいて、制御部は、図9(b)に示すように、搬送ベルトコンベア55および押付ベルト機構56を停止させた後、図9(c)に示すように、離間機構92のソレノイド91を駆動して小束紙幣Wを載置板90毎上昇させることになる。これにより、1束目の小束紙幣Wが、載置板90上に載置され、かつ小束出金口51から一部突出する状態で停止することになり、操作者による取り出しを待つことになる。但し、赤色ランプ95を点灯させ取り出しを視覚的に規制しているため、操作者は小束紙幣Wを取り出すことはない。   For example, when there are five small bundles of banknotes W to be withdrawn in one process, the first bundle of banknotes W bundled by the binding unit 49 is bundled as shown in FIG. When it is time to deliver from the section 49 to the transport belt conveyor 55 of the small bundle transport section 50 via the delivery mechanism section 52, the control section turns on only the red lamp 95 and the upper transport area 66 with the small bundle withdrawal. The conveyor belt conveyor 55 is driven so as to move to the mouth 51 side, and the pressing belt mechanism 56 is driven in synchronization therewith. Then, in the same manner as described above, the control unit sends out the small bundle of bills W so as to be close to the rearward side of the predetermined upstream portion 66 in the upper conveyance region 66 of the driven conveyor belt 55. Then, the next sorting unit 64 reaches the upper transport area 66 on the rear side of the small bundle banknote W, and the first bundle of banknotes W is between the sorting section 64 and the sorting section 64 of the transport belt conveyor 55. It is mounted on the mounting surface 67. Control is performed based on the timing at which the first bundle of banknotes W is conveyed to the small bundle dispensing port 51 side by the conveyor belt 61 that continues to be driven, and the passage of the rear end is detected by the small bundle detection sensor 86. 9B, after stopping the conveyor belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56, as shown in FIG. 9C, the unit drives the solenoid 91 of the separation mechanism 92 to make a small bundle. The bills W are raised every placement plate 90. As a result, the first bundle of banknotes W is placed on the placement plate 90 and stopped in a state of partially protruding from the small bundle dispensing port 51, and waiting for removal by the operator. become. However, since the red lamp 95 is lit to visually regulate the removal, the operator does not take out the small bundle banknote W.

次に、制御部は、図10(a)に示すように、次に出金させる2束目の小束紙幣Wが結束部49から受渡機構部52を介して小束搬送部50の搬送ベルトコンベア55に受け渡し可能なタイミングになると、上部搬送領域66を小束出金口51側に移動させるように搬送ベルトコンベア55を駆動するとともに、これと同期して押付ベルト機構56を駆動する。このとき、1束目の小束紙幣Wは、搬送ベルト61から離間しており、小束出金口51に停止した状態が維持される。そして、制御部は、上記と同様にして、駆動された搬送ベルトコンベア55の上部搬送領域66における最も上流側の所定の区分部64に対しその後側に近接するようにして2束目の小束紙幣Wを送り出させる。そして、制御部は、図10(b)に示すように、次の区分部64が2束目の小束紙幣Wの後側で上部搬送領域66に至って、2束目の小束紙幣Wが搬送ベルトコンベア55の区分部64と区分部64との間の最も上流側の載置面67に載置されるタイミングに基づいて、搬送ベルトコンベア55および押付ベルト機構56を停止させる。   Next, as shown in FIG. 10A, the control unit transfers the second bundle of small bundle banknotes W to be withdrawn from the bundle portion 49 via the delivery mechanism portion 52 to the conveyance belt of the small bundle conveyance portion 50. When it is time for delivery to the conveyor 55, the conveyor belt conveyor 55 is driven to move the upper conveyor area 66 to the small bundle dispensing port 51 side, and the pressing belt mechanism 56 is driven in synchronism with this. At this time, the first bundle of banknotes W is separated from the transport belt 61, and the state stopped at the small bundle dispensing port 51 is maintained. Then, in the same manner as described above, the control unit closes the second bundle of small bundles so as to be close to the rearward side of the most upstream predetermined section 64 in the upper conveyance area 66 of the driven conveyor belt 55. The banknote W is sent out. Then, as shown in FIG. 10 (b), the control unit 64 reaches the upper conveyance area 66 on the rear side of the second bundle of banknotes W so that the second bundle of banknotes W is The conveyor belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56 are stopped based on the timing at which the conveyor belt conveyor 55 is placed on the most upstream mounting surface 67 between the sorting section 64 and the sorting section 64.

次に、制御部は、図10(c)に示すように、次に出金させる3束目の小束紙幣Wが結束部49から受渡機構部52を介して小束搬送部50の搬送ベルトコンベア55に受け渡し可能なタイミングになると、上部搬送領域66を小束出金口51側に移動させるように搬送ベルトコンベア55を駆動するとともに、これと同期して押付ベルト機構56を駆動する。このときも、1束目の小束紙幣Wは、搬送ベルト61から離間しており、小束出金口51に停止した状態が維持される。そして、制御部は、上記と同様にして、駆動された搬送ベルトコンベア55の上部搬送領域66における最も上流側にあって2束目の小束紙幣Wに後側で隣り合う所定の区分部64に対しその後側に近接するようにして3束目の小束紙幣Wを送り出させる。そして、制御部は、図11(a)に示すように、次の区分部64が3束目の小束紙幣Wの後側で上部搬送領域66に至り、3束目の小束紙幣Wが搬送ベルトコンベア55の区分部64と区分部64との間の最も上流側の載置面67に載置されるタイミングに基づいて、搬送ベルトコンベア55および押付ベルト機構56を停止させる。   Next, as shown in FIG. 10 (c), the control unit transfers the third bundle of small bundle banknotes W to be withdrawn from the bundle unit 49 via the delivery mechanism unit 52 to the conveyance belt of the small bundle conveyance unit 50. When it is time for delivery to the conveyor 55, the conveyor belt conveyor 55 is driven to move the upper conveyor area 66 to the small bundle dispensing port 51 side, and the pressing belt mechanism 56 is driven in synchronism with this. Also at this time, the first bundle of banknotes W is separated from the transport belt 61, and the state stopped at the small bundle dispensing port 51 is maintained. In the same manner as described above, the control unit is a predetermined sorting unit 64 that is located on the most upstream side in the upper conveyance area 66 of the driven conveyor belt conveyor 55 and is adjacent to the second bundle of small bundles W on the rear side. On the other hand, the third bundle of banknotes W is sent out so as to be close to the rear side. Then, as shown in FIG. 11 (a), the control unit 64 reaches the upper conveyance area 66 on the rear side of the third bundle banknote W, and the third bundle banknote W The conveyor belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56 are stopped based on the timing at which the conveyor belt conveyor 55 is placed on the most upstream mounting surface 67 between the sorting section 64 and the sorting section 64.

次に、制御部は、図11(a)に示すように、次に出金させる4束目の小束紙幣Wが結束部49から受渡機構部52を介して小束搬送部50の搬送ベルトコンベア55に受け渡し可能なタイミングになると、上部搬送領域66を小束出金口51側に移動させるように搬送ベルトコンベア55を駆動するとともに、これと同期して押付ベルト機構56を駆動する。このときも、1束目の小束紙幣Wは、搬送ベルト61から離間しており、小束出金口51に停止した状態が維持される。そして、制御部は、上記と同様にして、駆動された搬送ベルトコンベア55の上部搬送領域66における最も上流側にあって3束目の小束紙幣Wに後側で隣り合う所定の区分部64に対しその後側に近接するようにして4束目の小束紙幣Wを送り出させる。そして、制御部は、図11(b)に示すように、次の区分部64が4束目の小束紙幣Wの後側で上部搬送領域66に至り、4束目の小束紙幣Wが搬送ベルトコンベア55の区分部64と区分部64との間の最も上流側の載置面67に載置されるタイミングに基づいて、搬送ベルトコンベア55および押付ベルト機構56を停止させる。   Next, as shown in FIG. 11A, the control unit transfers the fourth bundle of small bundle bills W to be withdrawn from the bundle portion 49 via the delivery mechanism portion 52 to the conveyance belt of the small bundle conveyance portion 50. When it is time for delivery to the conveyor 55, the conveyor belt conveyor 55 is driven to move the upper conveyor area 66 to the small bundle dispensing port 51 side, and the pressing belt mechanism 56 is driven in synchronism with this. Also at this time, the first bundle of banknotes W is separated from the transport belt 61, and the state stopped at the small bundle dispensing port 51 is maintained. Then, in the same manner as described above, the control unit is a predetermined sorting unit 64 that is located on the most upstream side in the upper transport region 66 of the driven transport belt conveyor 55 and is adjacent to the third bundle of banknotes W on the rear side. On the other hand, the fourth bundle of bills W is sent out so as to be close to the rear side. Then, as shown in FIG. 11 (b), the control unit reaches the upper conveyance area 66 on the rear side of the fourth bundle of bills W, and the fourth bundle of bills W The conveyor belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56 are stopped based on the timing at which the conveyor belt conveyor 55 is placed on the most upstream mounting surface 67 between the sorting section 64 and the sorting section 64.

次に、制御部は、図11(b)に示すように、次に出金させる5束目の小束紙幣Wが結束部49から受渡機構部52を介して小束搬送部50の搬送ベルトコンベア55に受け渡し可能なタイミング(このとき、搬送ベルトコンベア55の前後にそれぞれ1束が近接配置され、搬送ベルトコンベア55の搬送ベルト61上に3束の小束紙幣Wが同時に載置された状態となる。)になると、離間機構92のソレノイド91により1束目の小束紙幣Wを載置板90とともに下降させることになり、これにより、小束出金口51から5束の小束紙幣Wが連続的に並ぶことになる。制御部は、この載置板90の下降後、赤色ランプ95を消灯させ緑色ランプ94を点灯させる。すると、この緑色ランプ94の点灯で、小束紙幣Wの取り出しを視覚的に促すため、操作者は1束目の小束紙幣Wを取り出す。   Next, as shown in FIG. 11 (b), the control unit transfers the fifth bundle of small bundle bills W to be withdrawn from the bundle portion 49 via the delivery mechanism portion 52 to the conveyance belt of the small bundle conveyance portion 50. Timing that can be delivered to the conveyor 55 (At this time, one bundle is placed close to each other before and after the conveyor belt conveyor 55, and three bundles of bills W are simultaneously placed on the conveyor belt 61 of the conveyor belt conveyor 55. ), The first bundle of bills W is lowered together with the placement plate 90 by the solenoid 91 of the separation mechanism 92, whereby five bundles of bills from the small bundle dispensing port 51. W will line up continuously. After the mounting plate 90 is lowered, the control unit turns off the red lamp 95 and turns on the green lamp 94. Then, the operator takes out the first bundle of banknotes W in order to visually prompt the removal of the bundle of banknotes W by turning on the green lamp 94.

そして、1束目の小束紙幣Wが小束出金口51から取り出されたことが小束検出センサ87で検出されると、制御部は、図11(c)に示すように、即座に搬送ベルトコンベア55および押付ベルト機構56を駆動し、駆動された搬送ベルトコンベア55の上部搬送領域66における最も上流側にあって4束目の小束紙幣Wに後側で隣り合う所定の区分部64に対しその後側に近接するようにして5束目の小束紙幣Wを小束受渡部52で送り出させる。その後、2束目の小束紙幣Wの後端部の通過が小束検出センサ86で検出されたタイミングに基づいて、搬送ベルトコンベア55および押付ベルト機構56を再び停止させることになる。これにより、1束目の小束紙幣Wが取り出された後の小束出金口51から速やかに2束目の小束紙幣Wが一部突出する状態となり、操作者による取り出しを待つことになる。   When the small bundle detection sensor 87 detects that the first bundle of banknotes W has been taken out from the small bundle dispensing port 51, the control unit immediately starts as shown in FIG. A predetermined sorting section that drives the conveyor belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56 and is adjacent to the fourth bundle of small bundles W on the rearmost side in the upper conveyance area 66 of the driven conveyor belt conveyor 55 on the rear side. The small bundle banknote W of the fifth bundle is sent out by the small bundle delivery section 52 so as to be close to the rear side of the small bundle 64. Thereafter, the transport belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56 are again stopped based on the timing when the passage of the rear end portion of the second bundle of banknotes W is detected by the small bundle detection sensor 86. Thereby, a part of the second bundle of banknotes W quickly protrudes from the small bundle dispensing port 51 after the first bundle of banknotes W is taken out, and waiting for the operator to remove it. Become.

2束目の小束紙幣Wが小束出金口51から取り出されたことが小束検出センサ87で検出されると、制御部は、即座に搬送ベルトコンベア55および押付ベルト機構56を駆動し、3束目の小束紙幣Wの後端部の通過が小束検出センサ86で検出されたタイミングに基づいて、搬送ベルトコンベア55および押付ベルト機構56を再び停止させることになる。これにより、2束目の小束紙幣Wが取り出された後の小束出金口51から速やかに3束目の小束紙幣Wが一部突出する状態となり、操作者による取り出しを待つことになる。   When the small bundle detection sensor 87 detects that the second bundle of banknotes W has been taken out from the small bundle dispensing port 51, the control unit immediately drives the conveyor belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56. Based on the timing at which the small bundle detection sensor 86 detects the passage of the rear end of the third bundle of banknotes W, the conveyor belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56 are stopped again. As a result, a part of the third bundle of banknotes W quickly protrudes from the small bundle dispensing port 51 after the second bundle of banknotes W has been taken out, and waiting for removal by the operator. Become.

3束目の小束紙幣Wが小束出金口51から取り出されたことが小束検出センサ87で検出されると、制御部は、即座に搬送ベルトコンベア55および押付ベルト機構56を駆動し、4束目の小束紙幣Wの後端部の通過が小束検出センサ86で検出されたタイミングに基づいて、搬送ベルトコンベア55および押付ベルト機構56を再び停止させることになる。これにより、3束目の小束紙幣Wが取り出された後の小束出金口51から速やかに4束目の小束紙幣Wが一部突出する状態となり、操作者による取り出しを待つことになる。   When the small bundle detection sensor 87 detects that the third bundle of banknotes W has been taken out from the small bundle dispensing port 51, the control unit immediately drives the conveyor belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56. The transport belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56 are again stopped based on the timing at which the passage of the rear end portion of the fourth bundle banknote W is detected by the small bundle detection sensor 86. As a result, a part of the fourth bundle of banknotes W immediately protrudes from the small bundle dispensing port 51 after the third bundle of banknotes W is taken out, and waiting for removal by the operator. Become.

4束目の小束紙幣Wが小束出金口51から取り出されたことが小束検出センサ87で検出されると、制御部は、即座に搬送ベルトコンベア55および押付ベルト機構56を駆動し、5束目の小束紙幣Wの後端部の通過が小束検出センサ86で検出されたタイミングに基づいて、搬送ベルトコンベア55および押付ベルト機構56を再び停止させることになる。これにより、4束目の小束紙幣Wが取り出された後の小束出金口51から速やかに5束目の小束紙幣Wが一部突出する状態となり、操作者による取り出しを待つことになる。   When the small bundle detection sensor 87 detects that the fourth bundle of banknotes W has been taken out from the small bundle dispensing port 51, the control unit immediately drives the conveyor belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56. The conveyor belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56 are stopped again based on the timing at which the passage of the rear end portion of the fifth bundle banknote W is detected by the small bundle detection sensor 86. As a result, a part of the fifth bundle of banknotes W immediately protrudes from the small bundle dispensing port 51 after the fourth bundle of banknotes W has been taken out, and waiting for removal by the operator. Become.

5束目の小束紙幣Wが小束出金口51から取り出されたことが小束検出センサ87で検出されると、制御部は、5束の小束紙幣Wの出金が終了したと判断する。   When the small bundle detecting sensor 87 detects that the fifth bundle of banknotes W has been taken out from the small bundle dispensing port 51, the control unit has finished dispensing the five bundles of small bundle banknotes W. to decide.

なお、一度の結束処理で、小束紙幣Wを5束を超えて出金させる場合には、上記を適宜繰り返すことによって、1束目の小束紙幣Wを小束出金口51から突出させた状態で載置板90で上昇させ、その後、可能な限り多くの小束紙幣Wを搬送ベルトコンベア55の搬送ベルト61上に同時に載置させた状態とするとともに受渡機構部52から小束搬送部50に小束紙幣Wを受け渡し可能な状態として、1束目の小束紙幣Wを載置板90で下降させてから、小束出金口51から一束ずつ取り出させるように繰り出させることになる。また、一度の結束処理で、4束より少ない小束紙幣Wを出金させる場合も、1束目の小束紙幣Wを小束出金口51から突出させた状態で載置板90で上昇させ、その後、可能な限り多くの小束紙幣Wを搬送ベルトコンベア55の搬送ベルト61上に同時に載置させた状態としながら、搬送ベルト61上の小束紙幣Wを可能な限り小束出金口51に近接させた状態とし、1束目の小束紙幣Wを載置板90で下降させてから、小束出金口51から一束ずつ取り出させるように繰り出させることになる。   In addition, when dispensing a small bundle banknote W exceeding 5 bundles by one bundling process, the first bundle banknote W is protruded from the small bundle dispensing port 51 by repeating the above as appropriate. In this state, the stacking plate 90 is lifted by the loading plate 90. Thereafter, as many small banknotes W as possible are placed on the transport belt 61 of the transport belt conveyor 55 at the same time and are transported from the delivery mechanism section 52. As a state in which the small bundle banknote W can be delivered to the unit 50, the first bundle of banknotes W is lowered by the placing plate 90 and then fed out so as to be taken out one by one from the small bundle dispensing port 51. become. Further, when dispensing a small bundle of banknotes W less than 4 bundles in a single binding process, the first bundle of banknotes W is raised from the small bundle dispensing port 51 and raised by the placement plate 90. Thereafter, as many small bundle banknotes W as possible are placed on the conveyor belt 61 of the conveyor belt conveyor 55 at the same time, and the small bundle banknotes W on the conveyor belt 61 are made as small as possible. The first bundle of banknotes W is lowered by the placement plate 90 in a state of being brought close to the mouth 51, and then fed out so as to be taken out from the small bundle dispensing port 51 one by one.

また、小束出金口51の前に小束紙幣Wを受け取る受け皿等が配置される場合には、上記と同様にして、1束目の小束紙幣Wを小束出金口51から突出させた状態で載置板90で上昇させ、その後、可能な限り多くの小束紙幣Wを搬送ベルトコンベア55の搬送ベルト61上に同時に載置させた状態としながら、搬送ベルト61上の小束紙幣Wを小束出金口51に可能な限り近接させた状態とし、1束目の小束紙幣Wを載置板90で下降させてから、搬送ベルトコンベア55および押付ベルト機構56を駆動するようにする。すると、小束出金口51に載置された小束紙幣Wが搬送ベルト61の区分部64で押されて小束出金口51から落下し、搬送ベルト61上に同時に載置された複数の小束紙幣Wが、順次大きな間隔をあけずにそれぞれの後方に隣り合う区分部64で押されて連続的に機外に放出されることになる。   When a tray or the like for receiving the small bundle banknote W is arranged in front of the small bundle dispensing port 51, the first small bundle banknote W protrudes from the small bundle dispensing port 51 in the same manner as described above. In this state, the stacking plate 90 is lifted by the loading plate 90, and then, as many small bundles of banknotes W as possible are placed on the transport belt 61 of the transport belt conveyor 55 at the same time. The banknote W is brought as close as possible to the small bundle dispensing port 51 and the first small bundle banknote W is lowered by the placing plate 90, and then the conveyor belt conveyor 55 and the pressing belt mechanism 56 are driven. Like that. Then, the small bundle banknotes W placed on the small bundle dispensing port 51 are pushed by the sorting section 64 of the conveyance belt 61 and fall from the small bundle dispensing port 51, and a plurality of the multiple bundles placed on the conveyance belt 61 at the same time. The small banknotes W are sequentially pushed out of the respective sections 64 adjacent to each other without a large interval, and are continuously discharged out of the machine.

以上のような第3実施形態の貨幣入出金機11によれば、搬送ベルト61が、搬送方向に分離した状態で複数の小束紙幣Wを同時に載置させるため、搬送ベルト61へ複数束の小束紙幣Wが間隔をあけて送り出される場合であっても、複数の小束紙幣Wを出金前に纏めることができ、纏めて小束出金口51から出金させることができる。したがって、受け取る側が複数束を纏めて受け取ることができ、受け取りが容易となる。   According to the money depositing / dispensing machine 11 of the third embodiment as described above, a plurality of bundles of banknotes W are simultaneously placed in a state where the conveyance belt 61 is separated in the conveyance direction. Even when the small bundle banknotes W are sent out at intervals, a plurality of small bundle banknotes W can be collected before dispensing, and can be dispensed from the small bundle dispensing port 51 collectively. Therefore, the receiving side can receive a plurality of bundles together, and reception is easy.

また、小束紙幣Wを複数束を纏めて出金させる場合に、1束目の小束紙幣Wを小束出金口51から一部突出させた状態で、小束出金口51に設けられた離間機構92で搬送ベルト61から上方向に離間させると、搬送ベルト61による搬送の影響を受けることなく1束目の小束紙幣Wを停止させることができる。この状態で、間隔をあけて送り出される後続の小束紙幣Wを搬送ベルト61に纏めることができ、纏めて小束出金口51から出金させることができる。したがって、複数の小束紙幣Wを纏めて小束出金口51から出金させる場合であっても、1束目の小束紙幣Wを小束出金口51から一部突出させた状態とすることで、出金処理が良好に行われていることを視認させることができる。   Further, when a plurality of bundles of the small bundle banknotes W are to be withdrawn, the first bundle of banknotes W is provided at the small bundle withdrawal port 51 in a state of partially protruding from the small bundle withdrawal port 51. When the separation mechanism 92 is separated from the transport belt 61 in the upward direction, the first bundle of banknotes W can be stopped without being influenced by the transport by the transport belt 61. In this state, the succeeding small bundle banknotes W sent out at intervals can be collected on the transport belt 61 and can be collected from the small bundle dispensing port 51 collectively. Therefore, even when a plurality of small bundle banknotes W are collected and withdrawn from the small bundle dispensing port 51, the first bundle of small bundle banknotes W partially protrudes from the small bundle dispensing port 51; By doing, it can be made to recognize visually that the payment | withdrawal process is performed favorably.

なお、上記した離間機構92は、小束出金口51から一部突出した状態の小束紙幣Wの少なくとも後端部を搬送ベルト61から上下方向に相対的に離間させるものであれば良く、例えば搬送ベルトコンベア55の小束出金口51側を下げる機構を設けても良い。   The separating mechanism 92 described above may be any mechanism as long as it relatively separates at least the rear end portion of the small bundle banknote W in a state of partially protruding from the small bundle dispensing port 51 from the conveyor belt 61 in the vertical direction. For example, a mechanism for lowering the small bundle dispensing port 51 side of the conveyor belt conveyor 55 may be provided.

次に、本発明の第4実施形態の貨幣入出金機を主に図12〜図14を参照して以下に第1実施形態との相違部分を中心に説明する。なお、第1実施形態と同様の部分は同一の符号を付しその説明は略す。   Next, the money depositing and dispensing machine according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 12 to 14 mainly on the differences from the first embodiment. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the part similar to 1st Embodiment, and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

第4実施形態においては、小束搬送部50の搬送ベルトコンベア55が、結束部40の側に機体左右方向に沿って水平に配設されたローラ58と、小束出金口51の側であってローラ58よりも所定量高い位置に機体左右方向に沿って水平に配設されたローラ59と、これらローラ58,59に掛けられた無端の搬送ベルト61とを有しており、この場合も、ローラ58,59のうちのいずれか一方が図示略のモータで回転駆動されることで搬送ベルト61および他のローラが回転する。   In the fourth embodiment, the conveyor belt conveyor 55 of the small bundle conveyance unit 50 is disposed on the side of the bundle unit 40 on the side of the small bundle dispensing port 51 and the roller 58 disposed horizontally along the left-right direction of the machine body. And a roller 59 disposed horizontally along the left-right direction of the machine body at a position higher by a predetermined amount than the roller 58, and an endless transport belt 61 hung on these rollers 58, 59. Also, one of the rollers 58 and 59 is rotationally driven by a motor (not shown) to rotate the transport belt 61 and the other rollers.

搬送ベルト61は、一定幅に形成された第1実施形態のものよりも回転方向の長さが短い無端のベルト本体部63と、このベルト本体部63の外周側から所定の等間隔をあけて外側に立ち上がる複数具体的には2つの第1実施形態と同様の区分部64とを有している。   The conveyor belt 61 has an endless belt body 63 that is shorter in the rotational direction than that of the first embodiment formed to have a constant width, and a predetermined equal interval from the outer peripheral side of the belt body 63. A plurality of concretely rising parts, specifically, two partition parts 64 similar to those in the first embodiment are provided.

また、第4実施形態においては、小束搬送部50が、搬送ベルトコンベア55の上側にこれと平行に設けられてこれと同期して回転する押付羽根車(押付手段)98を有している。さらに、小束出金口51の前方に小束紙幣Wを受ける受皿部100が設けられている。   Moreover, in 4th Embodiment, the small bundle conveyance part 50 has the pressing impeller (pressing means) 98 provided in parallel with this on the upper side of the conveyance belt conveyor 55, and rotating in synchronization with this. . Further, a tray portion 100 that receives the small bundle banknote W is provided in front of the small bundle dispensing port 51.

搬送ベルトコンベア55の上側に設けられた押付羽根車98は、搬送ベルトコンベア55の搬送ベルト61に小束紙幣Wを押し付けるためのもので、機体左右方向に沿って水平に配設された円筒状のボス部99と、このボス部99の外周側から所定の等間隔をあけて外側に放射状に立ち上がる複数具体的には8つの第1実施形態と同様の押付羽根76とを有している。この押付羽根車98は下端部に位置するときの搬送ベルトコンベア55の上部搬送領域66の移動速度と同じとなるように駆動される。そして、搬送ベルトコンベア55の前側には、小束出金口51の下縁部を構成する載置台部80が、搬送ベルト61の上部搬送領域66の略延長上で前上がりに設けられている。   A pressing impeller 98 provided on the upper side of the conveyor belt conveyor 55 is for pressing the small bundle of bills W against the conveyor belt 61 of the conveyor belt conveyor 55, and has a cylindrical shape arranged horizontally along the left-right direction of the machine body. And a plurality of, specifically, eight pressing blades 76 similar to those of the first embodiment rising radially outward from the outer peripheral side of the boss portion 99 at a predetermined equal interval. The pressing impeller 98 is driven so as to have the same moving speed as the upper conveying area 66 of the conveying belt conveyor 55 when it is located at the lower end. In addition, on the front side of the conveyor belt conveyor 55, a mounting table portion 80 that constitutes the lower edge portion of the small bundle dispensing port 51 is provided so as to rise upward substantially over the upper conveyor region 66 of the conveyor belt 61. .

以上のような構成の第4実施形態の貨幣入出金機11においては、結束部49で結束された小束紙幣Wが、長手方向を機体左右方向に沿わせた水平姿勢で結束部49から受渡機構部52の押圧板53で押されて、小束搬送部50の搬送ベルトコンベア55に送り出されることになるが、制御部は、受け渡し可能なタイミングになると、上部搬送領域66を小束出金口51側に移動させるように搬送ベルトコンベア55を駆動するとともに、これと同期して押付羽根車98を駆動する。   In the money depositing and dispensing machine 11 of the fourth embodiment configured as described above, the small bundle bills W bundled by the bundling portion 49 are delivered from the bundling portion 49 in a horizontal posture with the longitudinal direction aligned with the left-right direction of the machine body. It is pushed by the pressing plate 53 of the mechanism section 52 and is sent to the conveyor belt conveyor 55 of the small bundle conveying section 50. However, when the control section comes to a time when it can be delivered, the upper conveying area 66 is dispensed into the small bundle dispensing. The conveyor belt conveyor 55 is driven so as to move to the mouth 51 side, and the pressing impeller 98 is driven in synchronism with this.

次に、制御部は、駆動された搬送ベルトコンベア55に受渡機構部52から小束紙幣Wを送り出させる。このとき、制御部は、搬送ベルトコンベア55の搬送ベルト61の搬送速度と各区分部64の上部搬送領域66へ位置するタイミングとから受渡機構部52を制御して、図12(a)から図12(b)に示すように、所定の区分部64に対しその後側に近接させるようにして小束紙幣Wの前部を載置面67に載置させる。   Next, the control unit causes the driven conveyor belt conveyor 55 to send out the small bundles of bills W from the delivery mechanism unit 52. At this time, the control unit controls the delivery mechanism unit 52 based on the conveyance speed of the conveyance belt 61 of the conveyance belt conveyor 55 and the timing of positioning in the upper conveyance region 66 of each sorting unit 64, and the diagram from FIG. 12 (b), the front part of the small bundle banknote W is placed on the placing surface 67 so as to be close to the rear side of the predetermined sorting part 64.

このようにして、区分部64に近接して小束紙幣Wの前部を載置面67に載置させた後、図12(c)に示すように、受渡機構部52の押圧板53で押圧しつつ載置面67の移動で小束紙幣Wを載置面67とともに小束出金口51側に移動させる。すると、図13(a)に示すように、上側の押付羽根車98の押付羽根76が上側から小束紙幣Wに接触して弾性変形し、この押付羽根76の弾性力で小束紙幣Wが載置面67に押し付けられ、さらに移動すると、図13(b)に示すように、次の押付羽根76がこの小束紙幣Wを載置面67に押し付ける。そして、受渡機構部52の押圧板53で小束紙幣Wを最も小束出金口51側に移動させると、図13(c)に示すように、搬送ベルト61の小束紙幣Wの前側の区分部64が上部搬送領域66から退避した後、図14(a)に示すように、次の区分部64が小束紙幣Wの後側で上部搬送領域66に至る。このようにして小束紙幣Wが搬送ベルトコンベア55の区分部64と区分部64との間の載置面67に載置される。そして、後側の区分部64で押されることで、図14(b)に示すように、小束紙幣Wを小束出金口51から一部突出させた状態となると、搬送ベルトコンベア55および押付羽根車98を停止させる。これにより、小束紙幣Wの操作者による取り出しを待つことになる。なお、図14(c)に示すように、小束出金口51の前方に小束紙幣Wを受ける受皿部100があることから、小束紙幣Wを小束出金口51から一部突出させた状態となっても、搬送ベルトコンベア55および押付羽根車98を停止させずに駆動し続けて、小束紙幣Wを小束出金口51から重心位置を前方に所定距離突出させて、自重により小束出金口51から落下させるようにしても良い。   In this way, after the front portion of the small bundle banknote W is placed on the placing surface 67 in the vicinity of the sorting portion 64, the pressing plate 53 of the delivery mechanism portion 52 is used as shown in FIG. The small banknote W is moved to the small bundle dispensing port 51 side together with the placement surface 67 by moving the placement surface 67 while pressing. Then, as shown in FIG. 13A, the pressing blade 76 of the upper pressing impeller 98 comes into contact with the small bundle bill W from the upper side and is elastically deformed, and the small bundle bill W is converted by the elastic force of the pressing blade 76. When pressed against the placement surface 67 and further moved, the next pressing blade 76 presses the small bundle banknote W against the placement surface 67 as shown in FIG. And if the small bundle banknote W is moved to the small bundle dispensing port 51 side most with the press plate 53 of the delivery mechanism part 52, as shown in FIG.13 (c), the front side of the small bundle banknote W of the conveyance belt 61 will be shown. After the sorting section 64 has been retracted from the upper transport area 66, the next sorting section 64 reaches the upper transport area 66 on the rear side of the small bundle banknote W as shown in FIG. In this way, the small banknotes W are placed on the placement surface 67 between the sorting section 64 and the sorting section 64 of the conveyor belt conveyor 55. And when it is pushed by the rear sorting section 64, as shown in FIG. 14B, when the small bundle banknote W is partially protruded from the small bundle dispensing port 51, the conveyor belt conveyor 55 and The pressing impeller 98 is stopped. This waits for the operator to take out the small bundle banknote W. As shown in FIG. 14 (c), since there is a tray 100 that receives the small bundle banknote W in front of the small bundle dispensing port 51, the small bundle banknote W partially protrudes from the small bundle dispensing port 51. Even if it becomes the state made to carry out, it continues driving without stopping the conveyor belt conveyor 55 and the pressing impeller 98, and the center of gravity position is protruded a predetermined distance forward from the small bundle dispensing port 51, You may make it fall from the small bundle withdrawal port 51 with dead weight.

以上に述べた第4実施形態の貨幣入出金機においても、小束出金口51の直前位置に設けられた搬送ベルト61が、小束紙幣Wの搬送方向長さより長い間隔で形成された複数の区分部64の隣り合うもの同士の間の載置面67に小束紙幣Wを載置させて小束出金口51に搬送するため、高さを制限しつつ小束紙幣Wを小束紙幣W同士を分離した状態で円滑に小束出金口51から出金させることができる。   Also in the money depositing and dispensing machine of the fourth embodiment described above, a plurality of transport belts 61 provided at positions immediately before the small bundle dispensing port 51 are formed at intervals longer than the length in the conveyance direction of the small bundle banknote W. In order to place the small bundle banknotes W on the placing surface 67 between the adjacent ones of the sorting sections 64 and convey them to the small bundle dispensing port 51, the small bundle banknotes W are bundled while limiting the height. With the banknotes W separated from each other, it is possible to smoothly withdraw money from the small bundle dispensing port 51.
