また、図7に示すように、紙幣処理装置11は、この紙幣処理装置11を制御する制御部61を備えている。この制御部61は、紙幣搬送部23の搬送ローラ26を駆動する搬送モータ62、紙幣識別部24の磁気センサ27、紙幣挿入口21から挿入された紙幣Pを検知する紙幣検知部63、紙幣押込部34の押込板35を移動させる押込モータ64、回転ガイド49を回転させる収納モータ65、引出ユニット15を開閉移動させる開閉モータ66、引出ユニット15の位置を検知する位置検知部67が接続されている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the banknote handling apparatus 11 includes a control unit 61 that controls the banknote handling apparatus 11. The control unit 61 includes a transport motor 62 that drives the transport roller 26 of the banknote transport unit 23, a magnetic sensor 27 of the banknote identification unit 24, a banknote detection unit 63 that detects a banknote P inserted from the banknote insertion slot 21, and a banknote press. A push motor 64 that moves the push plate 35 of the section 34, a storage motor 65 that rotates the rotation guide 49, an open / close motor 66 that opens and closes the drawer unit 15, and a position detector 67 that detects the position of the drawer unit 15 are connected. Yes.

そして、制御部61は、紙幣回収時に、引出ユニット15によって紙幣収納部43が装置本体12の前方へ移動する際、紙幣押込部34を紙幣収納部43に収納されている紙幣Pの押し込み状態とする機能を有している。   Then, when the banknote storage unit 43 is moved forward of the apparatus main body 12 by the drawer unit 15 when the banknotes are collected, the control unit 61 sets the banknote pressing unit 34 to the pressing state of the banknotes P stored in the banknote storage unit 43. It has a function to do.

さらに、紙幣収納部43が装置本体12の前方へ移動する際、紙幣Pの詰まりを検知する詰まり検知手段68の機能と、この詰まり検知手段68で紙幣Pの詰まりが検知された場合、紙幣押込部34を紙幣収納部43に収納されている紙幣Pの押し込み状態と押し込み解除状態とに繰り返し変化させる機能とを有している。詰まり検知手段68は、例えば、位置検知部67の検知に基づいて、紙幣が紙幣処理部13に引っ掛かったために引出ユニット15が所定の開放位置に移動しない場合に、紙幣Pの詰まりが発生していると検知する。   Further, when the bill storage unit 43 moves forward of the apparatus main body 12, the function of the clogging detection means 68 for detecting the clogging of the bill P and the clogging of the bill P when the clogging detection means 68 detects clogging of the bill P, It has a function of repeatedly changing the portion 34 between the pushed-in state and the pushed-out state of the bill P stored in the bill storage portion 43. The clogging detection means 68 is based on the detection of the position detection unit 67. For example, the clogging of the bill P occurs when the withdrawal unit 15 does not move to the predetermined open position because the bill is caught by the bill processing unit 13. It is detected that

次に、第1の実施の形態の紙幣処理装置11の動作を説明する。   Next, operation | movement of the banknote processing apparatus 11 of 1st Embodiment is demonstrated.

図2および図4(a)に示すように、紙幣挿入に待機する待機状態では、紙幣押込部34の押込板35が装置本体12の一側に寄った待機位置に位置し、紙幣処理部13から受入領域30への紙幣Pの受け入れを許容する状態にある。   As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 (a), in the standby state waiting for the insertion of the banknote, the pressing plate 35 of the banknote pressing section 34 is located at the standby position close to one side of the apparatus main body 12, and the banknote processing section 13 The banknote P is accepted in the receiving area 30.

さらに、待機状態では、紙幣収納部43の両側の回転ガイド49が紙幣Pの短手方向の両側縁を押え付ける保持位置にあり、これら回転ガイド49とばね46で付勢されているステージ45との間に紙幣Pの短手方向の両側縁を挟持し、紙幣収納部43内の1枚あるいは複数枚の紙幣Pを収納状態に保持している。この状態では、紙幣収納部43に収納された紙幣Pの一部は紙幣処理部13の後方域に配置されている。   Furthermore, in the standby state, the rotation guides 49 on both sides of the banknote storage unit 43 are in a holding position that presses both side edges of the banknote P in the short direction, and the stage 45 urged by the rotation guide 49 and the spring 46 The both edges of the banknote P in the short direction are sandwiched between them, and one or a plurality of banknotes P in the banknote storage unit 43 are held in the stored state. In this state, a part of the banknotes P stored in the banknote storage unit 43 is disposed in the rear area of the banknote processing unit 13.

そして、紙幣Pが紙幣処理部13の紙幣挿入口21に挿入され、その紙幣Pを紙幣検知部63で検知することにより、紙幣搬送部23の搬送モータ62が動作し、紙幣Pを対の搬送ローラ26で挟持しながら紙幣通路22内を後方へ向けて搬送する。この搬送する紙幣Pを紙幣識別部24の磁気センサ27で識別する。   And the banknote P is inserted in the banknote insertion port 21 of the banknote processing part 13, and when the banknote P is detected by the banknote detection part 63, the conveyance motor 62 of the banknote conveyance part 23 operate | moves and the banknote P is conveyed by a pair. While being held by the roller 26, it is conveyed backward in the banknote passage 22. This conveyed banknote P is identified by the magnetic sensor 27 of the banknote identification unit 24.

なお、挿入紙幣の検知は、紙幣検知部63で行うようにしたが、紙幣検知部63は光学式センサ、磁気センサのいずれでもよい。しかし、紙幣検知部63を磁気センサにすることにより、挿入された紙幣の磁気の変化を検知することで紙幣の移動速度を測定でき、(外部からテープなどで紙幣が引っ張られた不正などで)想定外の速度(この場合は遅い)で紙幣が挿入された場合は、紙幣の識別や取り込みを行わず、即座に返却するようにしてもよい。   Note that the inserted bill is detected by the bill detector 63, but the bill detector 63 may be an optical sensor or a magnetic sensor. However, by making the bill detector 63 a magnetic sensor, it is possible to measure the movement speed of the bill by detecting the magnetic change of the inserted bill (by fraud, etc., when the bill is pulled from outside) When a bill is inserted at an unexpected speed (slow in this case), the bill may be returned immediately without being identified or captured.

なお、磁気センサであれば、別途設ける必要はなく、識別用のセンサを用いてもよい。   In addition, if it is a magnetic sensor, it is not necessary to provide separately and you may use the sensor for identification.

識別の結果、正規の取扱い紙幣と識別されなければ、紙幣Pの搬送途中で搬送モータ62を逆転し、紙幣Pを前方へ搬送して紙幣挿入口21から返却する。   As a result of the identification, if the bill is not identified as a regular handling bill, the transport motor 62 is reversed during the transport of the bill P, and the bill P is transported forward and returned from the bill insertion slot 21.

正規の取扱い紙幣Pであれば、図2および図4(b)に示すように、紙幣Pを紙幣処理部13から後方の受入領域30へ送り出す。紙幣処理部13から後方へ送り出される紙幣Pを受入領域30に受け入れ、紙幣Pの短手方向の両側縁を受入領域30の両側の固定ガイド31で保持する。   If it is the regular handling banknote P, as shown in FIG.2 and FIG.4 (b), the banknote P is sent out to the receiving area 30 of back from the banknote process part 13. FIG. The banknote P sent out backward from the banknote processing unit 13 is received in the receiving area 30, and both side edges in the short direction of the banknote P are held by the fixed guides 31 on both sides of the receiving area 30.

その後、押込モータ64を動作し、図3および図4(c)に示すように、押込板35を一側から他側へ向けて移動させ、この押込板35で固定ガイド31に保持されている紙幣Pを紙幣収納部43へ向けて押し込む。これにより、押込板35で押し込まれる紙幣Pの短手方向の両側縁が固定ガイド31から外れ、さらに、押込板35で押し込まれる紙幣Pとともに紙幣収納部43に収納済みの紙幣Pおよびステージ45をばね46の付勢に抗して他側へ押し込む。   Thereafter, the push motor 64 is operated to move the push plate 35 from one side to the other side as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 (c), and is held by the fixed guide 31 by this push plate 35. The bill P is pushed toward the bill storage unit 43. As a result, both side edges in the short direction of the bill P pushed by the pushing plate 35 are detached from the fixed guide 31, and the bill P and the stage 45 already stored in the bill storing portion 43 together with the bill P pushed by the pushing plate 35 are moved. Pushes against the bias of the spring 46 to the other side.

その後、収納モータ65を動作し、図4(d)に示すように、両側の回転ガイド49を、紙幣収納部43に収納済みの紙幣Pの短手方向の両側縁から離反する退避位置に回動させて、収納させる紙幣Pの短手方向の両側縁よりも一側に移動させる。その後、図4(e)に示すように、両側の回転ガイド49を、紙幣Pの短手方向の両側縁を押え付ける保持位置へ回動させ、収納させる紙幣Pの短手方向の両側縁を収納済みの紙幣Pに押え付ける。   Thereafter, the storage motor 65 is operated, and as shown in FIG. 4 (d), the rotation guides 49 on both sides are rotated to the retracted position away from both side edges in the short direction of the banknotes P stored in the banknote storage section 43. It is moved and moved to one side from both side edges in the short direction of the banknote P to be stored. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 4 (e), the rotation guides 49 on both sides are rotated to the holding positions for pressing both side edges of the banknote P in the short direction, and both side edges in the short side of the banknote P to be stored are stored. Press against the stored bill P.

その後、押込モータ64を動作し、押込板35を他側から一側へ向けて移動させ、両側の回転ガイド49とばね46で付勢されているステージ45との間に収納させる紙幣Pおよび収納済みの紙幣Pの短手方向の両側縁を挟持し、紙幣収納部43内への紙幣Pの収納が完了する。   Thereafter, the pushing motor 64 is operated to move the pushing plate 35 from the other side to the one side so that the bill P is stored between the rotation guides 49 on both sides and the stage 45 biased by the springs 46 and stored. The side edges of the banknotes P in the short direction are sandwiched, and the banknotes P are stored in the banknote storage unit 43.

次に、紙幣処理装置11の紙幣収納部43に収納された紙幣Pを回収する際には、店員(回収係員)により、例えば上位機で回収を指令したり、あるいは店員(回収係員)が持つリモコンから紙幣処理装置11に対して回収を指令する。   Next, when the banknotes P stored in the banknote storage unit 43 of the banknote processing device 11 are collected, the store clerk (collection staff) instructs the collection, for example, by a host machine or the store staff (collection staff) holds The banknote processing device 11 is commanded to collect from the remote control.

制御部61に回収指令が入ることにより、押込モータ64を動作し、図3および図4(c)に示すように、押込板35を一側から他側へ向けて移動させ、押込板35で紙幣収納部43に収納されている紙幣Pおよびステージ45をばね46の付勢に抗して他側へ押し込む。これにより、紙幣処理部13の後方に位置していた一部の紙幣Pも、紙幣処理部13の後方より外れた他側に移動する。   When the collection command is input to the control unit 61, the push motor 64 is operated, and the push plate 35 is moved from one side to the other side as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 (c). The banknote P and the stage 45 stored in the banknote storage unit 43 are pushed to the other side against the bias of the spring 46. Thereby, some banknotes P located behind the banknote processing unit 13 are also moved to the other side away from the rear side of the banknote processing unit 13.

その後、開閉モータ66を動作し、図1および図6に示すように、引出ユニット15とともに紙幣収納部43を回収通路14から装置本体12の前方へ移動させる。このとき、押込板35によって紙幣収納部43内の紙幣Pが紙幣処理部13の後方よりも他側に押し込まれた状態が保たれているため、紙幣収納部43内の紙幣Pが紙幣処理部13に引っ掛かることなく、紙幣収納部43が所定の開放位置まで移動する。   Thereafter, the opening / closing motor 66 is operated to move the bill storage part 43 together with the drawer unit 15 from the collection passage 14 to the front of the apparatus main body 12 as shown in FIGS. At this time, since the state in which the banknote P in the banknote storage part 43 was pushed into the other side rather than the back of the banknote process part 13 by the pushing board 35 is maintained, the banknote P in the banknote storage part 43 is the banknote process part. The banknote storage unit 43 moves to a predetermined opening position without being caught by 13.

仮に、紙幣収納部43での紙幣Pの収納具合によって、紙幣Pが紙幣処理部13などに引っ掛かるなどして紙幣収納部43が所定の開放位置まで移動せず、詰まり検知手段68で詰まりが検知された場合には、紙幣押込部34を紙幣収納部43に収納されている紙幣Pの押し込み状態と押し込み解除状態とに繰り返し変化させ、紙幣処理部13などに対する紙幣Pの引っ掛かりを外す。これにより、紙幣収納部43が所定の開放位置まで移動する。   If the banknote P is stored in the banknote storage unit 43, the banknote P is caught by the banknote processing unit 13 or the like, and the banknote storage unit 43 does not move to a predetermined opening position. When it is done, the banknote pushing part 34 is repeatedly changed into the pushing state of the banknote P accommodated in the banknote storage part 43, and a pushing release state, and the catch of the banknote P with respect to the banknote process part 13 etc. is removed. Thereby, the banknote storage part 43 moves to a predetermined open position.

紙幣収納部43が所定の開放位置まで移動しても、紙幣押込部34の押込板35による押し込み状態を維持していてもよく、あるいは、紙幣収納部43が所定の開放位置まで移動したら、紙幣押込部34の押込板35を他側から一側に移動させ、押し込みを解除してもよい。   Even if the banknote storage part 43 moves to a predetermined opening position, the pushed state by the pushing plate 35 of the banknote pushing part 34 may be maintained, or if the banknote storage part 43 moves to a predetermined opening position, the banknote The pushing plate 35 of the pushing part 34 may be moved from the other side to one side to release the pushing.

そして、店員(回収係員)により、装置本体12の前方へ移動した紙幣収納部43から紙幣Pを取り出す。   And the banknote P is taken out from the banknote storage part 43 which moved to the front of the apparatus main body 12 by a store clerk (collection staff).

その後、例えば、紙幣収納部43から紙幣Pが取り出されたことを図示しない検知部で検知したり、店員(回収係員)が持つリモコンを操作することにより、開閉モータ66を動作し、引出ユニット15を装置本体12内に移動させて収納する。   After that, for example, the detection unit (not shown) detects that the banknote P has been taken out from the banknote storage unit 43, or the remote controller of the store clerk (collection staff) operates the open / close motor 66 to operate the drawer unit 15 Is moved into the apparatus main body 12 and stored.

このように、紙幣回収のために紙幣収納部43が装置本体12の前方へ移動する際、紙幣押込部34を紙幣収納部43に収納されている紙幣Pの押し込み状態とするため、紙幣処理部13の厚みを薄くしなくても、紙幣Pが紙幣処理部13に引っ掛からずに移動させることができ、紙幣Pが詰まるのを防止できる。これにより、紙幣処理部13の厚みを薄くすることなく、磁気センサ27やレバー25などのスペースをとる部品でも紙幣処理部13に配置できて機能を向上させることができる。   Thus, when the banknote storage part 43 moves to the front of the apparatus main body 12 for banknote collection, the banknote pressing part 34 is pushed into the banknote P stored in the banknote storage part 43. Even if the thickness of 13 is not reduced, the banknote P can be moved without being caught by the banknote processing unit 13, and the banknote P can be prevented from being jammed. Thereby, it is possible to arrange even the components that take up space such as the magnetic sensor 27 and the lever 25 in the banknote processing unit 13 without reducing the thickness of the banknote processing unit 13 and improve the function.

しかも、詰まりが検知された場合、紙幣押込部34を紙幣収納部43に収納されている紙幣Pの押し込み状態と押し込み解除状態とに繰り返し変化させることにより、仮に紙幣Pの詰まりが発生しても、その紙幣Pの詰まりを自動的に解消できる。   In addition, when a jam is detected, even if the bill P is clogged by repeatedly changing the bill pushing portion 34 between the pushed state and the pushed-in state of the bill P stored in the bill storage portion 43. The clogging of the banknote P can be automatically resolved.

さらに、遊技機2と遊技機2との間の限られたわずかなスペースに設置される遊技媒体貸出装置3に紙幣収納式の紙幣処理装置11を搭載する場合に、紙幣処理部13の厚みを薄くできる紙幣処理装置11を用いれば、遊技媒体貸出装置3の薄形化に対応できるなど効果的である。   Furthermore, when the banknote storage type banknote processing apparatus 11 is mounted on the game medium lending apparatus 3 installed in a limited small space between the gaming machine 2 and the gaming machine 2, the thickness of the banknote processing unit 13 is increased. If the banknote processing device 11 that can be made thin is used, it is effective that the game medium lending device 3 can be made thinner.

次に、図10に第2の実施の形態を示す。   Next, FIG. 10 shows a second embodiment.

紙幣押込部34の押込板35を一側の待機位置から他側の紙幣収納部43へ向けて移動させる際、紙幣Pの前端を紙幣処理部13の他側の回収通路14側に押し込むように、押込板35を斜め前方へ移動させるようにしてもよい。このように、紙幣Pの前端側を紙幣処理部13の他側に押し込むことにより、紙幣回収時に、紙幣Pの前端が紙幣処理部13に引っ掛からず、紙幣Pが詰まるのを防止できる。   When the pushing plate 35 of the bill pushing portion 34 is moved from the standby position on one side toward the bill storing portion 43 on the other side, the front end of the bill P is pushed into the collection passage 14 side on the other side of the bill processing portion 13. The pushing plate 35 may be moved obliquely forward. Thus, by pushing the front end side of the banknote P into the other side of the banknote processing unit 13, it is possible to prevent the banknote P from being clogged without the front end of the banknote P being caught by the banknote processing unit 13 at the time of banknote collection.
