  When the outer door 15 is in the closed state, the protrusions 103 on both sides of the collection body 53 shown in FIG. 1 enter the space between the adjacent vertical ribs 44 on the outer sides within a range that does not interfere with the horizontal ribs 45. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, the collection portion 83 of the collection body 53 includes the support shaft 88 and the rotation roller 89 and slidably enters the guide groove 34 of the back wall portion 21. As a result, when the collection unit 83 is also at the accumulation position on the back wall 21 side, it serves as a guide for linear movement of the accumulation unit 51, and guides linear movement of the accumulation unit 51 by the pair of guide pieces 62 of the base 52. Assist.

  In the state where the outer door 15 is closed, the stacking unit 51 having the collection body 53 and the base 52 shown in FIG. 1 uses the end face of the collection body plate 81 of the collection body 53 on the protruding portion 103 side as the vertical rib 44. With the contact position maintained, the one guide piece 62 of the base 52 is placed in the guide groove 33 of the side wall 25 and the other guide piece 62 is placed in the guide groove (not shown) of the side wall 24. 3 is guided in the guide groove 34 of the back wall portion 21, and the collection body 53 is integrated with the base 52 in the length direction of the storage body 14 shown in FIG. Moving. Then, when the accumulating portion 51 moves toward the intake port 12 by the biasing force of the accumulating portion tension spring (not shown), the protruding portion 63 of the base 52 enters the entry recess 47 of the inner member 46 fixed to the outer door 15. . In addition, the accumulation | storage part 51 makes the movement limit position by the side of the inlet 12 nearest the inlet 12 the standby position, and when it is in this standby position, the protrusion 63 is located in the entrance recessed part 47. FIG.

  For example, the paper sheet storage 11 is loaded into a paper sheet processing machine (not shown) in a state where the stacking unit 51 is in the standby position. Although not shown, the control unit of the paper sheet processing machine engages the stacking drive unit of the paper sheet processing machine with the stacking unit 51 of the paper sheet storage 11.

  Then, when the paper sheets S conveyed by the conveyance unit of the paper sheet processing machine are sequentially taken into the paper sheet storage 11 from the intake port 12, the paper sheets S are guided by the guide plate 27. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, stacking is performed by sequentially stacking on the stacking surface 84 of the recovery body plate portion 81 of the recovery body 53 at the stacking position of the stacking portion 51. At that time, as shown in FIG. 10, the collection portion 83 including the support shaft 88 and the rotation roller 89 is disposed in the guide groove 34 formed in the back wall portion 21, and it does not interfere with the paper sheet S. Absent. Further, at that time, the control unit of the paper sheet processing machine causes the collection unit 51 to recover the collection unit 51 against the urging force of the accumulation unit tension spring by the accumulation drive unit according to the increase of the accumulation amount of the paper sheet S. 53 is moved in the direction away from the intake port 12 in the state where it is positioned at the stacking position, and the gap between the already stacked sheets S and the guide plate 27 is maintained substantially constant to stabilize the stacking. Will be done. That is, the control unit of the sheet processing machine moves the stacking unit 51 linearly along the stacking direction in accordance with the stacking amount of the sheet S, and at this time, the stacking surface 84 of the collection body 53 is moved. Then, one end side in the accumulation direction of the paper sheets S taken in and collected from the intake port 12 is received.

  As described above, when the accumulation amount of the paper sheet S increases, the paper sheet S that is within a predetermined range continuous from the paper sheet S that contacts the accumulation surface 84 of the collection body 53 is collected. On the side opposite to the mouth 13, a collection portion 83 that protrudes with the collection surface 84 of the collection body 53 as a base end is disposed so as to be able to contact.

  When a collection operation is input to the paper sheet processor for collecting the paper sheets S, the control unit of the paper sheet processor releases the engagement of the stacking drive unit with the stacking unit 51. Then, the stacking unit 51 moves toward the top plate unit 22 side, which is the other end side in the stacking direction of the sheets S, by the biasing force of the stacking unit tension spring while the collection body 53 is positioned at the stacking position. In other words, the other end side in the stacking direction of the sheets S is pressed against the pressing plate portion 28 of the guide plate 27. That is, the stacked paper sheets S are sandwiched between the stacking part 51 and the pressing plate part 28 from both sides in the stacking direction.

  Next, when the operator takes out the paper sheet storage case 11 from the paper sheet processing machine, puts the key into the cylinder lock 32 and releases the lock of the outer door 15 to the storage body 14 by the lock mechanism, the outer door As shown in FIG. 6, the collection body 53 of the accumulating portion 51 moves to the protruding end position in the direction of the collection port 13 with respect to the base 52 by the urging force of the compression spring 54. Will do. At this time, the collection body 53 moves in a direction perpendicular to the back wall portion 21 and perpendicular to the stacking direction of the sheets S. Then, the collection unit 83 that moves together with the sheet contacts the sheet S on the collection port 13 side and lifts these sheets S. As a result, the paper sheets S within a predetermined range continuous from the paper sheets S in contact with the stacking surface 84 of the collecting body 53 protrude from the remaining paper sheets S on the intake port 12 side together with the stacking surface 84. Will do. At this time, since the rotation roller 89 is held at the tip of the collection unit 83, the collection unit 83 moves while rotating the rotation roller 89 with respect to the remaining paper sheets S, and the remaining paper It moves without giving a friction load to the leaves S. After the movement, the remaining paper sheet S is brought into contact with the end portion on the stacking part 51 side in the stacking direction and presses the remaining paper sheet S toward the holding plate part 28 by the biasing force of the stacking part tension spring. .

  On the other hand, as described above, when the collection body 53 moves to the protruding end position, the tilting block 95 of the collection assist mechanism 76 that is in a state of filling the concave portion 94 of the collection body 53 is separated from the base 52 and the restriction is released. As a result, the biasing force of the tilting tension spring 99 tilts to the opposite side to the collection part 83 to the open state. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the recess 94 is exposed, and the recess 94 is formed on the recovery port 13 side of the recovery body 53. That is, the collection assist mechanism 76 provided in the collection body 53 tilts the tilting block 95 to form the recess 94 on the collection port 13 side of the accumulation surface 84 when the collection body 53 moves in the direction of the collection port 13. To do. As a result, the bundle of sheets S lifted by the collection unit 83 is collected on one end side in the stacking direction protruding from the remaining sheets S and on the other end side in the stacking direction at the position of the recess 94. A space in which a person can place a finger is formed.

  In this state, the collection operator opens the outer door 15, grips the protruding bundle of sheets S from both sides in the stacking direction, and pulls it out toward the collection port 13. Then, even before and after the withdrawal, the collection body 53 is in contact with the end portion on the stacking unit 51 side in the stacking direction of the remaining sheets S at the rotation roller 89 of the collection unit 83, and therefore the remaining sheets A space is maintained between S and the recovery body plate portion 81 having the collection surface 84 of the recovery body 53, and unnecessary collapse of the remaining sheets S toward the recovery body plate portion 81 is restricted.

  For the remaining paper sheets S, the space between the recovery body plate portion 81 is a space where fingers can be placed on one end side in the stacking direction, and this space and the paper that can be gripped appropriately A finger is inserted between the leaf S and the paper sheet S, and both sides in the stacking direction are gripped and pulled out. Since the collection unit 83 presses the intermediate position in the drawing direction of the paper sheet S, the paper sheet S is placed in the space between the collection body plate 81 and the finger when the finger is inserted in the middle position in the stacking direction. The collection port 13 side easily falls down, and the finger can be easily inserted. Further, when the rotating roller 89 of the collection unit 83 is separated from the paper sheet S in the middle of drawing, the collection body 53 moves in the direction of the remaining paper sheet S together with the base 52 by the biasing force of the stacking unit tension spring. It stops in contact with the end portion on the stacking portion 51 side in the stacking direction.

  By repeating the above operation as necessary, all the paper sheets S are collected from the paper sheet storage 11. Of course, when all the stored paper sheets S are projected to the collection port 13 side by the collecting unit 83, all the paper sheets S can be taken out by one pulling, and once. If the amount of the remaining paper sheet S is small after the drawing, all the paper sheets S can be taken out by two drawers. When a plurality of drawing operations are required, when the last paper sheet S is pulled out, a space between the collection body plate portion 81 and the inclined plate portion 29 of the guide plate 27 is used. Then, the fingers are inserted into the two, and the both sides in the accumulation direction are grasped and pulled out.

  Here, after the paper sheet S protruded to the collection port 13 side is pulled out by the first extraction, the collection body 53 is manually pushed against the urging force of the compression spring 54 to the back wall portion 21 side. When positioned at the stacking position, the collection unit 83 enters the guide groove 34 of the back wall 21 and the contact with the remaining sheets S is released. The collection body 53 and the base 52 are moved by the urging force of the spring, and the collection unit 83 enters the side opposite to the collection port 13 of the remaining paper sheet S to bring the stacking surface 84 into contact with the paper sheet S. It becomes a state. In this state, when the manual pressing to the collection unit 83 is released, the collection body 53 moves to the protruding end position, and the collection unit 83 continues from a portion of the remaining paper sheets S that contacts the stacking surface 84 to a predetermined range. The paper sheet S is lifted in the same manner as in the first time, and can be pulled out as in the first time. Therefore, it is possible to collect all the paper sheets S from the paper sheet storage 11 by repeating such an operation as necessary.

  When the outer door 15 is closed after the paper sheets S are collected, the outer door 15 is pressed to move the collection body 53 toward the back wall portion 21 to be in the state where it is located at the accumulation position.

  As described above, according to the paper sheet storage 11 of the present embodiment, when collecting the paper sheet S, the stacking unit having the stacking surface 84 that receives one end side in the stacking direction of the paper sheet S. When the collection body 53 provided in 51 moves in the direction of the collection port 13 by the biasing force of the compression spring 54, the collection body 53 is provided so as to be able to come into contact with the side opposite to the collection port 13 of the paper sheet S. The sheet S with which the part 83 moves as a unit is brought into contact with the collection port 13. Therefore, the collection operator can easily grasp the paper sheet S and can easily be pulled out through the collection port 13. And since it is the simple structure which provides the base 52, the collection body 53, and the compression spring 54 in the stacking part 51, the increase in cost can be suppressed. Accordingly, it is possible to improve the work efficiency of the paper sheet S collection operation while suppressing an increase in cost.

  Further, when the paper sheet S is collected, when the pressing by the outer door 15 is released, the collection body 53 is moved in the direction of the collection port 13 by the urging force of the compression spring 54, and the collection body 53 The collection unit 83 provided so as to be able to come into contact with the side opposite to the collection port 13 of the paper sheet S moves integrally to project the paper sheet S that comes into contact with the collection port 13 side. On the other hand, when the outer door 15 is closed after the paper sheet S is collected, the collection body 53 is pressed against the urging force of the compression spring 54 by being pressed by the outer door 15, and is opposite to the collection port 13. Will be moved to. Thus, since the collection body 53 can be moved by utilizing the opening / closing operation of the outer door 15 necessary for opening / closing the collection port 13, the configuration is further simplified, and the increase in cost can be further suppressed.

  Further, the collection body 53 is integrally provided with a collection surface 84, and the collection unit 83 can contact a sheet S in a continuous range from the sheet S that contacts the collection surface 84. When the body 53 is moved in the direction of the collection port 13 by the urging force of the compression spring 54, the sheet S in the above range on the stacking surface 84 side can be projected together with the stacking surface 84 to the collection port 13 side. Therefore, since the paper sheets S can be smoothly projected, the collection worker can perform a more stable collection operation.

  Further, when the collection body 53 moves in the direction of the collection port 13 by the urging force of the compression spring 54, the paper sheet S on the stacking surface 84 side is projected together with the stacking surface 84 to the collection port 13 side. Thus, the collection assist mechanism 76 tilts to form a recess 94 on the collection port 13 side of the collection surface 84. Therefore, the stacking surface 84 side of the protruded paper sheet S can be easily gripped through the recess 94. Therefore, both smooth protrusion of the paper sheet S and easy gripping by the collection operator can be achieved.

  In addition, since the rotation roller 89 is provided at the leading end on the other end side in the stacking direction of the collection unit 83, when the collection unit 83 projects some of the paper sheets S, the remaining paper that cannot be projected. The rotating roller 89 can move smoothly with respect to the leaves S. Therefore, it is possible to prevent excessive pressure from being applied to the remaining paper sheets S that cannot be protruded, and to protect them from defects and the like.

  Further, since the collection unit 83 serves as a guide for linear movement along the accumulation direction of the accumulation unit 51, the accumulation unit 51 can be moved linearly more stably. Therefore, more stable accumulation of the paper sheets S is possible.
