  By the way, the take-out / feeding unit 32 (FIG. 6) is for controlling the rotation of the second rotating shaft 44 (that is, for controlling the stopping position when stopping the rotation of the second rotating shaft 44 in one rotation direction). For example, it has a rotor 85 and a substantially U-shaped rotational position detector 86.

  The rotor 85 has, for example, a flat washer-shaped main body portion 85A, and a strip-shaped detected portion 85B is projected from a part of the outer periphery of the main body portion 85A.

  The rotor 85 is positioned at a predetermined position between the outer surface of the left side plate 30B of the storage case 30 and the second drive gear 77 at one end of the second rotation shaft 44 through a hole in the center of the main body 85A. The second rotating shaft 44 is fixed so as to rotate integrally therewith.

  In addition, the rotation position detection unit 86 has, for example, a light emitting element embedded in one arm and facing the light emitting element (that is, the light emitted by the light emitting element can be received), and the other arm. A light receiving element is embedded in the part.

  When the rotor 85 rotates in one rotation direction together with the second rotation shaft 44, the rotational position detector 86 detects that the detected part 85B of the rotor 85 has a groove between one arm and the other arm (hereinafter referred to as this). Is provided on the outer surface of the left side plate 30 </ b> B of the storage case 30, for example.

  Accordingly, when the control unit 10 operates the roller drive motor for taking in bills and rotates the second rotation shaft 44 in one rotation direction, the rotor 85 is inserted into the detection groove portion via the rotation position detection portion 86. It is optically detected whether or not the detected portion 85B has entered.

  The control unit 10 detects that the detected portion 85B of the rotor 85 has entered the detection groove through the rotational position detector 86 when the taking-in of the bill by the take-out feeding portion 32 is completed. Accordingly, the operation of the roller drive motor is stopped.

  Actually, when the control unit 10 detects the detected portion 85B of the rotor 85 via the rotational position detector 86, the plurality of blades 57B, 59B, 60B of the four fixed impellers 57, 59, 60, 62 are provided. 62B and the push-up plates 63B and 64B of the two push-up portions 63 and 64 are retracted from the inside of the take-in feeding path 42 and the bill storage space in the one rotation direction of the second rotating shaft 44 along with the operation of the roller drive motor. The rotation of is stopped.

  And even if a roller drive motor operate | moves for the delivery of a banknote from a stop state under control of the control unit 10, the taking-in delivery part 32 makes the 2nd rotating shaft 44 by the effect | action of the one-way clutch 76 as mentioned above. It is stopped without rotating.

  Accordingly, the take-out / feeding section 32 has a plurality of blades of the four fixed impellers 57, 59, 60, and 62 not only while the roller drive motor is stopped but also during operation for feeding bills. 57B, 59B, 60B, and 62B and the push-up plates 63B and 64B of the two push-up portions 63 and 64 are continuously retracted from the inside of the take-out feeding path 42 and the bill storage space.

  In addition to such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 7, the variable impeller 61 positioned on the right side has a plurality of blades 61 </ b> B with respect to the second rotation shaft 44 at a predetermined position on the left side on the protruding side of the plurality of blades 61 </ b> B. For example, an engaging portion 61 </ b> C made of a fan-shaped protrusion is provided for controlling the position.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the push-up portion 64 located on the right side is provided with a push-up plate 64B protruding near the center of the right side surface facing the left side surface of the variable impeller 61 (that is, the edge portion of the central hole). For example, an engagement portion 64C made of an arcuate protrusion for controlling the position of the plurality of blades 61B of the variable impeller 61 with respect to the second rotating shaft 44 within a range (that is, a predetermined angle range of 180 degrees or less). Is provided.

  In the following description, the engaging portion 61C provided in the variable impeller 61 is also referred to as a blade-side engaging portion 61C, and the engaging portion 64C provided in the push-up portion 64 is referred to as a push-up side engaging portion 64C. Call.

  Further, in the following description, in the blade side engaging portion 61C and the push-up side engaging portion 64C, the end surfaces 61CX, 64CX in one rotation direction are also referred to as one end surfaces 61CX, 64CX, and the end surfaces 61CY, 64CY in the other rotation directions are Both are also referred to as the other end surfaces 61CY and 64CY.

  The second rotary shaft 44 is fixedly provided with a push-up portion 64 with its right side face close to the left side face of the variable impeller 61.

  Therefore, the variable impeller 61 is a position at which the one end surface 61CX of the blade-side engagement portion 61C is brought into contact with (ie, engaged with) the other end surface 64CY of the push-up side engagement portion 64C of the push-up portion 64 with respect to the second rotation shaft 44. From the one end surface 64CX of the push-up side engaging portion 64C of the push-up portion 64 to the position where the other end surface 61CY of the blade-side engaging portion 61C contacts (ie, engages) with one rotation direction and approximately 180 degrees. It can rotate in the other direction of rotation.

  The variable impeller 61 contacts the blade side engagement portion 61C with the push-up side engagement portion 64C of the push-up portion 64 so as to rotate in one rotation direction and the other rotation direction relative to the second rotation shaft 44. The positions of the plurality of blades 61B relative to the second rotating shaft 44 can be changed by switching the positions (that is, the engagement positions).

  Actually, the variable impeller 61 rotates in one rotation direction with respect to the second rotation shaft 44 and contacts one end surface 61CX of the blade side engagement portion 61C with the other end surface 64CY of the push-up side engagement portion 64C of the push-up portion 64. In this case, the plurality of blades 61B are projected from the plurality of blades 57B, 59B, 60B, 62B of the four fixed impellers 57, 59, 60, 62 and the push-up plates 63B, 64B of the two push-up portions 63, 64. Can be located to the side.

  Further, the variable impeller 61 rotates in the other rotation direction with respect to the second rotation shaft 44 to bring the other end surface 61CY of the blade side engagement portion 61C into contact with the one end surface 64CX of the push-up side engagement portion 64C of the push-up portion 64. In this case, the plurality of blades 61B are arranged on the projecting side of the plurality of blades 57B, 59B, 60B, 62B of the four fixed impellers 57, 59, 60, 62 and the push-up plates 63B, 64B of the two push-up portions 63, 64. Can be located on the opposite side.

  Further, the second rotating shaft 44 (FIGS. 5 and 6) is inserted into the hole of the coil spring 87 between the right variable impeller 61 and the right fixed impeller 62.

  One end of the coil spring 87 is inserted into a hole formed in the right side surface of the variable impeller 61, or is hooked into a groove formed at a predetermined position on the outer peripheral surface of the main body 61A. The variable impeller 61 is locked.

  The other end of the coil spring 87 is inserted into a hole formed in the left side surface of the fixed impeller 62, or is hooked on a groove formed at a predetermined position on the outer peripheral surface of the main body 62A. The fixed impeller 62 is locked.

  Accordingly, the coil spring 87 biases the variable impeller 61 to rotate in one rotation direction with respect to the second rotation shaft 44.

  Therefore, the coil spring 87 is in the second rotation unless a load that impedes rotation in the one rotation direction is applied to the blade 61B in a state where no external force is applied to the variable impeller 61 in the one rotation direction. The variable impeller 61 can be rotated in one rotation direction with respect to the shaft 44.

  However, the coil spring 87 is configured so that the variable impeller is subjected to a load that impedes rotation in one rotation direction on the blade 61B in a state where an external force that rotates the variable impeller 61 in one rotation direction is not applied. 61 is urged by an urging force that stops rotation in one rotation direction.

  In other words, the coil spring 87 urges the variable impeller 61 to rotate in one rotation direction with an urging force smaller than the elastic force of the plurality of blades 61B (that is, the waist strength of the blades 61B). ing.

  On the other hand, the variable impeller 58 located on the left side is not particularly illustrated, but on a virtual plane perpendicular to the left-right direction of the depositing machine at an intermediate position between the variable impeller 58 located on the left side and the variable impeller 61 located on the right side. On the other hand, it is formed so as to have a shape symmetrical to the variable impeller 61 located on the right side thereof.

  Further, the push-up portion 63 located on the left side is not particularly shown, but the right side of the push-up portion 63 located on the left side and the push-up portion 64 located on the right side with respect to a virtual plane perpendicular to the left-right direction of the depositing machine. It is formed so as to have a shape symmetrical to the push-up portion 64 located at the surface.

  The second rotary shaft 44 has the left push-up portion 63 with the left side surface provided with the push-up side engaging portion close to the right side surface provided with the blade-side engaging portion of the left variable impeller 58. It is fixed.

  Therefore, the variable impeller 58 is engaged with the push-up portion 63 of the push-up portion 63 from the position where the other end surface of the push-up side engagement portion of the push-up portion 63 is brought into contact with the second rotating shaft 44. It is possible to rotate in one rotation direction and the other rotation direction within an angle range of approximately 180 degrees up to a position where the other end surface of the blade side engaging portion is brought into contact with one end surface of the blade portion.

  The variable impeller 58 also rotates in one rotation direction and the other rotation direction relative to the second rotation shaft 44 in the same manner as the variable impeller 61 on the right side. The positions of the plurality of blades 58B with respect to the second rotation shaft 44 can be changed by switching the contact location of the blade side engagement portion with respect to the second rotation shaft 44.

  That is, when the variable impeller 58 rotates in the one rotation direction with respect to the second rotation shaft 44 and the other end surface of the push-up side engaging portion of the push-up portion 63 is brought into contact with one end surface of the blade-side engaging portion, The blades 58B of the four fixed impellers 57, 59, 60, 62 are positioned on the protruding side of the push-up plates 63B, 64B of the plurality of blades 57B, 59B, 60B, 62B and the two push-up portions 63, 64. Can do.

  When the variable impeller 58 rotates in the other rotational direction with respect to the second rotation shaft 44 and the other end surface of the blade side engagement portion is brought into contact with one end surface of the push-up side engagement portion of the push-up portion 63, a plurality of variable impellers 58 The blade 58B is moved to the opposite side of the plurality of blades 57B, 59B, 60B, 62B of the four fixed impellers 57, 59, 60, 62 and the protruding side of the push-up plates 63B, 64B of the two push-up portions 63, 64. Can be positioned.

  Further, the second rotating shaft 44 (FIG. 5) is also inserted into the hole of the coil spring 88 between the left variable impeller 58 and the left fixed impeller 59.

  One end of the coil spring 88 is inserted into a hole formed in the left side surface of the variable impeller 58, or is hooked into a groove formed at a predetermined position on the outer peripheral surface of the main body 58A. Are engaged with the variable impeller 58.

  The other end of the coil spring 88 is inserted into a hole formed in the right side surface of the fixed impeller 59, or is hooked into a groove formed at a predetermined position on the outer peripheral surface of the main body 59A. Thus, the fixed impeller 59 is engaged.

  As a result, the coil spring 88 biases the second impeller 44 to rotate the variable impeller 58 in one rotation direction.

  Therefore, the coil spring 88 is in the second rotation unless a load is applied to the blades 58B to prevent rotation in the one rotation direction without applying an external force to the variable impeller 58 in one rotation direction. The variable impeller 58 can be rotated in one rotation direction with respect to the shaft 44.

  However, the coil spring 88 also prevents the blades 58B from rotating in one rotation direction when no external force is applied to the variable impeller 58 in one rotation direction, like the right coil spring 87 described above. When such a load is applied, the variable impeller 58 is urged with an urging force that stops rotation in one rotation direction.

  In other words, the coil spring 88 also urges the variable impeller 58 to rotate in one rotation direction with an urging force smaller than the elastic force of the plurality of blades 58B (that is, the waist strength of the blades 58B). ing.

  As a result, as shown in FIGS. 9A to 10B, the take-out portion 32 is not applied with an external force that rotates the two variable impellers 58 and 61 in one rotation direction. If the blades 58B and 61B are not subjected to a load F1 that prevents rotation in one rotation direction, two variable impellers 58 and 61 are applied to the second rotating shaft 44 by coil springs 87 and 88, respectively. It is rotated in one rotation direction by the biasing force F2.

  Accordingly, the take-out / feeding portion 32 contacts the one end surface 61CX of the two blades 58C, 61C of the blade-side engagement portion 61C with the other end surface 64CY of the push-up side engagement portion 64C of the two push-up portions 63, 64. Let the plurality of blades 58B, 61B of the two variable impellers 58, 61 be the four blades 57B, 59B, 60B, 62B of the four fixed impellers 57, 59, 60, 62 and the two push-ups. The portions 63 and 64 are positioned on the protruding side of the push-up plates 63B and 64B (FIG. 9A).

  When the second rotating shaft 44 rotates in this state, the take-out / feeding part 32 performs the second rotation by the biasing force F2 applied to the two variable impellers 58 and 61 by the coil springs 87 and 88. Following the rotation of the shaft 44, it is rotated in one rotation direction.

  That is, at this time, the take-out / feeding part 32 places the two variable impellers 58 and 61 on the other end face 64CY of the push-up side engaging part 64C of the two push-up parts 63 and 64. A plurality of blades 58B and 61B are brought into contact with one end surface 61CX of the blade-side engaging portion 61C of 58 and 61, and a plurality of blades 57B, 59B, 60B and 62B of four fixed impellers 57, 59, 60 and 62 are brought into contact with each other. Further, the two push-up portions 63 and 64 are rotated in one rotation direction together with the second rotating shaft 44 while being positioned on the protruding side of the push-up plates 63B and 64B (FIG. 9B).

  However, if the load F1 more than the urging force F2 is applied to the blades 58B and 61B of the two variable impellers 58 and 61 during the rotation of the second rotation shaft 44 in the one rotation direction, While the second rotating shaft 44 rotates in one rotation direction, the rotation of the two variable impellers 58 and 61 in one rotation direction is stopped.

  At this time, since the second feeding shaft 32 rotates in the one rotation direction together with the two push-up portions 63 and 64 fixed to the second rotating shaft 44, the take-out feeding portion 32 has two variable in accordance with the rotation. The other end surfaces 64CY of the push-up side engaging portions 64C of the two push-up portions 63, 64 are gradually separated from the one end surface 61CX of the blade-side engaging portion 61C of the impellers 58, 61 (FIG. 9C).

  Then, when the second rotating shaft 44 rotates approximately half with respect to the two variable impellers 58 and 61, the take-out feeding portion 32 is the other end face of the blade-side engaging portion 61C of the two variable impellers 58 and 61. One end surface 64CX of the push-up side engaging portion 64C of the two push-up portions 63, 64 is brought into contact with 61CY.

  Therefore, the intake / feeding-out unit 32 is configured to replace the plurality of blades 58B and 61B of the two variable impellers 58 and 61 with the plurality of blades 57B, 59B, 60B and 62B of the four fixed impellers 57, 59, 60 and 62, and The two push-up portions 63 and 64 are positioned on the opposite side of the protruding side of the push-up plates 63B and 64B (FIG. 10A).

  In this state, when the second rotating shaft 44 is further rotated in one rotation direction, the take-out / feeding portion 32 has two variable blades by the push-up side engaging portions 64C of the two push-up portions 63 and 64 according to the rotation. The two variable impellers 58 and 61 are rotated in one rotation direction together with the second rotation shaft 44 by pushing the blade-side engagement portion 61C of the wheels 58 and 61 in one rotation direction.

That is, at this time, the intake / feeding-out part 32 is connected to the other end face 61CY of the blade-side engaging part 61C of the two variable impellers 58, 61 on one of the push-up upper engaging parts 64C of the two pushing-up parts 63, 64. A plurality of blades 58B and 61B are brought into contact with the end face 64CX, and a plurality of blades 57B, 59B, 60B and 62B of the four fixed impellers 57, 59, 60 and 62, and a push-up plate of the two push-up portions 63 and 64 The two variable impellers 58 and 61 are rotated in one rotation direction together with the second rotating shaft 44 while being positioned on the side opposite to the protruding side of 63B and 64B (FIG. 10B).

  Then, when the rotation of the second rotation shaft 44 in one rotation direction is stopped together with the operation of the roller drive motor as described above, the take-out feeding section 32 has two variables with respect to the second rotation shaft 44. The impellers 58 and 61 are rotated in one rotation direction by the bias of the coil springs 87 and 88.

  As a result, the take-out / feeding part 32 converts the plurality of blades 58B, 61B of the two variable impellers 58, 61 into the plurality of blades 57B, 59B, 60B, 62B of the four fixed impellers 57, 59, 60, 62. In addition, the plurality of blades 58B and 61B of the two variable impellers 58 and 61 are positioned in the protruding side of the push-up plates 63B and 64B of the two push-up portions 63 and 64, and the banknote storage Can be saved from space.

  In addition, when the second rotating shaft 44 rotates in one rotation direction, the take-out / feeding unit 32 determines whether or not the load F1 greater than the urging force F2 described above is applied to the blades 58B and 61B of the two variable impellers 58 and 61. Accordingly, the positions of the plurality of blades 58B and 61B of the two variable impellers 58 and 61 with respect to the second rotation shaft 44 can be appropriately changed.

  Actually, the take-out feeding part 32 (FIG. 4) has, for example, a substantially strip-like stopper 90 that is long in the left-right direction of the depositing machine on the lower side of the first conveyance guide 40 and on the rear side of the second rotation shaft 44. The one surface is inclined so as to be directed obliquely downward to the front.

  The take-out / feeding section 32 takes in the four fixed impellers 57, 59, 60, 62 and the plurality of blades 57B to 62B of the two variable impellers 58, 61 from the take-out / feed path 42 and the bill storage space. When retracting, the position and angle of the stopper 90 are appropriately selected so that the tip portions of the plurality of blades 57B to 62B can be pressed against one surface of the stopper 90 to be deformed (ie, bent).

  In other words, the take-out feeding section 32 takes in the four fixed impellers 57, 59, 60, 62 and the plurality of blades 57B to 62B of the two variable impellers 58, 61 in the take-out feeding path 42 and the bill storage space. When retracting from the above, the arrangement position and the arrangement angle of the stopper 90 are appropriately selected so that the load F1 greater than the urging force F2 described above can be applied to the plurality of blades 57B to 62B.

  Accordingly, as shown in FIGS. 11A to 12C, the take-out / feeding section 32 makes one rotation of the second rotary shaft 44 in response to the stop of the roller drive motor that was operating for taking in the banknotes. When the rotation in the direction stops, the plurality of blades 57B, 59B, 60B, and 62B of the four fixed impellers 57, 59, 60, and 62 are retracted from the take-in feeding path 42 and the bill storage space.

  As a result, the intake / feeding-out unit 32 has, for example, one blade 57B on the leading side (hereinafter also referred to as the rotation leading side) when rotating in one rotation direction for each fixed impeller 57, 59, 60, 62. , 59B, 60B and 62B are pressed against the stopper 90 and bent.

  Further, at this time, the take-out / feeding part 32 causes the two variable impellers 58 and 61 to be urged by the coil springs 87 and 88 with respect to the second rotating shaft 44 as in the case described above with reference to FIG. By rotating in one rotation direction, the plurality of blades 58B, 61B of the two variable impellers 58, 61 are retracted from the take-in delivery path 42 and the bill storage space.

  Therefore, for each variable impeller 58, 61, the take-out / feeding part 32 presses the tip of one blade 58B, 61B on the rotation head side against the stopper 90 and bends them, for example, so that these two variable impellers The rotation of 58 and 61 in one rotation direction is stopped (FIG. 11A).

  In this state, the take-out feeding section 32 operates as shown in FIG. 9 for the two variable impellers 58 and 61 when the roller drive motor operates for taking in bills and the second rotating shaft 44 rotates in one rotation direction. Similarly to the case described above with respect to C), the blades 58B and 61B are not rotated in one rotation direction because the load F1 is applied by pressing against the stopper 90.

  Accordingly, at this time, the take-out / feeding part 32 causes the four rotary impellers 57, 59, 60, 62 and the two push-up parts 63, 64 to rotate in one rotation direction together with the second rotary shaft 44 by the driving force of the roller drive motor. Rotate to

  Accordingly, at this time, the take-out / feeding portion 32 makes contact with the stopper 90 in order from the rotation head side at the tip ends of the plurality of blades 57B, 59B, 60B, 62B of the four fixed impellers 57, 59, 60, 62. After passing the position while being bent once, it is returned to its original shape and is introduced into the take-in delivery path 42 (FIG. 11B).

  In this way, the take-out / feeding section 32 has four fixed impellers 57, 59, 60, 62 and two together with the second rotating shaft 44 while the rotation of the two variable impellers 58 and 61 is stopped. When the push-up portions 63, 64 are rotated approximately 180 degrees in one rotation direction, the plurality of blades 57B, 59B, 60B, 62B of the four fixed impellers 57, 59, 60, 62 are all taken in and taken out. 42 and the bill storage space, and the push-up plates 63B and 64B of the two push-up portions 63 and 64 are taken into the take-out feeding path 42.

  At this time, in the take-out and feeding unit 32, the two variable impellers 58 and 61 that have stopped rotating, and the two push-up portions 63 and 64 that have rotated in one rotation direction together with the second rotation shaft 44, However, the positional relationship is the same as that described above with reference to FIG.

  Therefore, in the take-out feeding part 32, the four fixed impellers 57, 59, 60, 62 and the plurality of blades 57B to 62B of the two variable impellers 58, 61 are arranged around the entire circumference of the second rotating shaft 44 (that is, It is expanded radially over a range of 360 degrees (FIG. 11C).

  Then, when the four fixed impellers 57, 59, 60, 62 and the two push-up portions 63, 64 are further rotated in one rotation direction together with the second rotating shaft 44, the take-out feeding portion 32 is shown in FIG. As in the case described above, the variable impellers 58 and 61 together with the second rotating shaft 44 start to rotate in one rotation direction.

  That is, the intake / feeding part 32 includes four fixed impellers 57, 59, 60, 62 and two variable impellers 58, 61, and a plurality of blades 57 </ b> B to 62 </ b> B on the entire circumference of the second rotation shaft 44. It is rotated in one rotation direction while being spread radially.

  As a result, the take-out / feeding part 32 passes the tip portions of the plurality of blades 58B and 61B of the two variable impellers 58 and 61 through the position of contact with the stopper 90 in order from the rotation head side while being bent once. Then, it returns to the original shape and enters the take-in delivery path 42 (FIG. 12A).

  The take-out / feeding section 32 receives all of the plurality of blades 57B, 59B, 60B, 62B of the four fixed impellers 57, 59, 60, 62 according to the rotation of the second rotating shaft 44 in one rotation direction. When temporarily retracting from the inside of the take-out feeding path 42 and the bill storage space, and when the push-up plates 63B, 64B of the two push-up parts 63, 64 are temporarily retracted from inside the take-in delivery path 42, two variables are possible. All of the plurality of blades 58B and 61B of the impellers 58 and 61 are allowed to enter either the take-in delivery path 42 or the bill storage space (FIG. 12B).

  In this way, the take-out / feeding part 32 moves the four fixed impellers 57, 59, 60, 62 and the plurality of blades 57 B to 62 B of the two variable impellers 58, 61 around the entire circumference of the second rotating shaft 44. (Ie, in a range of 360 degrees), after that, the four fixed impellers 57, 59, 60, 62 and the second rotating shaft 44 are rotated while the second rotating shaft 44 rotates in one rotation direction. The two variable impellers 58 and 61 are rotated in one rotation direction with the plurality of blades 57B to 62B being developed.

  That is, the take-out / feeding unit 32 is configured to include a plurality of four fixed impellers 57, 59, 60, 62 and two variable impellers 58, 61 while the second rotating shaft 44 rotates in one rotation direction. The blades 57B to 62B of the stoppers 90B are passed through the contact positions of the stopper 90 in order, and the four fixed impellers 57, 59, 60, 62 and 2 together with the second rotating shaft 44 are passed. The variable impellers 58 and 61 are rotated in one rotation direction.

  When the rotation of the second rotary shaft 44 in one rotation direction stops in response to the stop of the roller drive motor that has been operating for taking in bills, the take-out feeding unit 32 has four fixed impellers 57. , 59, 60, 62 are again retracted from the take-in delivery path 42 and the bill storage space.

  As a result, the take-out / feeding part 32 bends by pressing, for example, the tip of one blade 57B, 59B, 60B, 62B on the rotation leading side against the stopper 90 for each fixed impeller 57, 59, 60, 62 ( FIG. 12 (B)).

  At this time, the take-out / feeding portion 32 again urges the two variable impellers 58 and 61 against the second rotating shaft 44 by the coil springs 87 and 88 in the same manner as described above with reference to FIG. The blades 58B and 61B of the two variable impellers 58 and 61 are retracted from the inside of the take-in delivery path 42 and the bill storage space.

  Therefore, for each variable impeller 58, 61, the take-out / feeding part 32 presses the tip of one blade 58B, 61B on the rotation head side against the stopper 90 and bends them, for example, so that these two variable impellers The rotation of 58 and 61 in one rotation direction is stopped (FIG. 12C).

  Thus, when the second rotating shaft 44 starts to rotate in one rotation direction for taking in banknotes, the take-out feeding section 32 has the two variable impellers 58 and 61 with respect to the second rotating shaft 44. While changing the positions of the plurality of blades 58B and 61B, the two variable impellers 58 and 61 are delayed by about a half turn and started to rotate in one rotation direction.

  Further, when the take-out / feeding unit 32 stops the rotation of the second rotary shaft 44 that has been rotated in one rotation direction for taking in banknotes, the two variable impellers 58 and 61 with respect to the second rotary shaft 44. The position of the plurality of blades 58B and 61B is changed so as to return to the position at the time of the rotation stop, and the rotation of the two variable impellers 58 and 61 in one rotation direction is stopped.

(1-4) Banknote take-in process and payout process by banknote storage Next, the control unit 10 performs the banknote take-in process performed in the banknote storage 18 to 22 in the banknote deposit process described above, and the banknotes described above. The banknote feeding process performed in the banknote storages 18 to 22 in the withdrawal process will be described in order.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the control unit 10 raises the stage 35 by driving the stage elevating unit by operating the stage drive motor in the storage unit 31 at the time of taking in the banknote 95 by the banknote storages 18 to 22. Or lower.

  At this time, when the control unit 10 detects that the uppermost banknote 95 on one surface 35A of the stage 35 has reached the banknote take-in position via the banknote arrival detection unit 36, the operation of the stage drive motor is performed at that time. The stage 35 is stopped by stopping.

  Thereby, the control unit 10 is optimal for taking in the banknote 95 into the banknote storage space between the four picker rollers 73 and the uppermost banknote 95 on the one surface 35A of the stage 35 in the banknote storage 18 to 22. A gap corresponding to a predetermined number of banknotes 95 is formed.

  In this state, the control unit 10 operates the roller drive motor for taking in the bills 95 in the take-out feeding unit 32.

  Therefore, the control unit 10 rotates the two take-in rollers 55, 56, the four fixed impellers 57, 59, 60, 62 and the two push-up portions 63, 64 in one rotation direction together with the second rotating shaft 44. Let

  At this time, as described above, the control unit 10 delays two variable positions from the start of the rotation of the second rotation shaft 44 in one rotation direction only while the second rotation shaft 44 is substantially half-rotated. The impellers 58 and 61 are started to rotate in one rotation direction.

  Therefore, the control unit 10 includes four fixed impellers 57, 59, 60, 62 and two variable impellers 58, 61, and the plurality of blades 57 </ b> B to 62 </ b> B over the entire circumference of the second rotation shaft 44. And rotate in one rotation direction in a state of being radially expanded.

  Further, at this time, the control unit 10 rotates the two feed rollers 50 and 51 and the two auxiliary rollers 52 and 53 in the other rotation direction together with the first rotation shaft 43 and performs the third rotation in conjunction with the rotation. Together with the shaft 45, the two pressure rollers 68 are rotated in one rotation direction.

  In this state, the control unit 10 conveys the banknotes 95 one by one to the banknote storages 18 to 22 via the central banknote transport path 27A.

  As a result, the control unit 10 takes the banknote 95 into the take-out feeding path 42 from the outer opening, and between the two feed rollers 50 and 51 and the two pressure rollers 68 rotating in reverse to each other. The two take-in rollers 55 and 56 are fed out while being sandwiched.

  Further, the control unit 10 continues to feed the bills 95 passed between the two feed rollers 50 and 51 and the two pressure rollers 68 into the two feed rollers 50 and 51 and the two take-in rollers 55 and 56. The bill 95 is discharged from the inner opening of the take-out feeding path 42 to the bill storage space (that is, the upper side of the stage 35) with the other side of the bill 95 facing downward.

  The control unit 10 causes the bill stopper 81 to collide with the long side on the front side of the bill 95 released from the inner opening of the take-in delivery path 42 to the bill storage space, and stops the bill 95 from moving in the forward direction. The rear end of one side of the bill 95 (that is, the surface facing upward) is composed of four fixed impellers 57, 59, 60, 62 and two variable impellers 58, 61 with blades 57B to 62B. Tap from above.

  Thereby, the control unit 10 drops the bill 95 in the bill storage space and places it on the uppermost bill 95 on the one surface 35 </ b> A of the stage 35.

  Thus, every time the control unit 10 transports the banknote 95 to the banknote storage 18 to 22 via the central banknote transport path 27A, the banknote 95 is similarly taken in the banknote storage 18 to 22. It can be taken into the bill storage space via the feeding path 42 and stored so as to overlap one surface 35 </ b> A of the stage 35 in order.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 14, in the banknote storages 18 to 22, the plurality of blades 58 </ b> B of the two variable impellers 58 and 61, with the second rotating shaft 44 rotating in one rotation direction. When 61B is positioned on the lower side, a plurality of blades 57B, 59B, 60B, and 62B of four fixed impellers 57, 59, 60, and 62, and push-up plates 63B and 64B of two push-up portions 63 and 64 are on the upper side Is located.

  At this time, in the banknote storages 18 to 22, the push-up plate 63 </ b> B of the left push-up portion 63 comes close to the lower portion of the left side surface of the left auxiliary roller 52 as described above, and The push-up plate 64B of the right push-up portion 64 is close to the lower portion on the right side surface.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 15, in the banknote storages 18 to 22, the plurality of blades of the four fixed impellers 57, 59, 60, and 62 with the second rotation shaft 44 rotating in one rotation direction. When the push-up plates 63B and 64B of the two push-up portions 63 and 64 are located on the lower side together with 57B, 59B, 60B and 62B, the plurality of blades 58B and 61B of the two variable impellers 58 and 61 are located on the upper side. doing.

  In the banknote storages 18 to 22, at this time, as described above, the plurality of blades 58B of the left variable impeller 58 are close to the lower portion of the left side surface of the left auxiliary roller 52, and the right side auxiliary roller. A plurality of blades 61 </ b> B of the right variable impeller 61 are close to the lower portion of the right side surface of 53.

  That is, the banknote storages 18 to 22 sequentially alternate the push-up plates 63B and 64B of the two push-up parts 63 and 64 and the plurality of blades 58B and 61B of the two variable impellers 58 and 61 when the banknotes are taken in. Is taken into the take-in delivery path 42 and is positioned outside the two auxiliary rollers 52 and 53.

  Therefore, the banknote storages 18 to 22 have the push-up plates 63B of the two push-up parts 63 and 64 when the banknote 95 is sandwiched between the two feed rollers 50 and 51 and the two take-in rollers 55 and 56. , 64B is positioned on the upper side, the one end and the other end of the bill 95 (that is, the outer portions of the two auxiliary rollers 52, 53) are deformed by being pushed up by the push-up plates 63B, 64B.

  In the bill storage boxes 18 to 22, when the second rotating shaft 44 continues to rotate in one rotation direction, the two push-up portions 63 and 64 continue to rotate in one rotation direction, and the push-up plates 63B and 64B move downward. Although displaced, the two variable impellers 58 and 61 rotate in one rotation direction, whereby the plurality of blades 58B and 61B of the two variable impellers 58 and 61 are displaced upward.

  For this reason, the banknote storages 18 to 22 are deformed so as to be pushed up in the banknote 95 sandwiched between the two feed rollers 50 and 51 and the two take-in rollers 55 and 56. Even if the push-up plates 63B, 64B of the two push-up parts 63, 64 are separated from each other, the plurality of blades 58B of the two variable impellers 58, 61 before the one end and the other end of the bill 95 are suspended. The deformation can be continued by pushing up with 61B.

  In this manner, the banknote storages 18 to 22 have the banknotes 95 of the banknote 95 while the banknotes 95 are sandwiched between the two feed rollers 50 and 51 and the two take-in rollers 55 and 56. One end and the other end can be deformed so as to be always pushed up by the push-up plates 63B, 64B of the two push-up portions 63, 64 and the plurality of blades 58B, 61B of the two variable impellers 58, 61. .

  Therefore, the banknote storages 18 to 22 can discharge the banknote 95 from the take-out feeding path 42 to the banknote storage space while suppressing flapping at one end and the other end.

  By the way, every time a new banknote 95 is placed on one surface 35A of the stage 35, the control unit 10 intermittently operates the stage drive motor to drive the stage elevating unit, thereby slightly moving the stage 35. Lower.

  Thereby, the control unit 10 positions the banknote 95 (that is, the new highest banknote 95) newly placed on the one surface 35A of the stage 35 at the banknote taking-in position.

  In this way, the control unit 10 always causes the plurality of banknotes 95 to be taken into the banknote storage space in the banknote storages 18 to 22 under the same taking-in conditions.

  Therefore, the control unit 10 sequentially packs the plurality of banknotes 95 in the banknote storage spaces in the banknote storages 18 to 22 in the take-out feeding path 42 or between the plurality of picker rollers 73 and the top banknote 95. It can be accommodated without being taken in and stacked in order on one surface 35A of the stage 35.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 16, the control unit 10 operates the stage lift motor by operating the stage drive motor in the storage unit 31 during the feeding process of the banknote 95 by the banknote storage 18 to 22, thereby driving the stage 35. Raise.

  At this time, for example, when the control unit 10 detects that the uppermost banknote 95 on the one surface 35A of the stage 35 has reached the banknote take-in position via the banknote arrival detection unit 36, a further predetermined time from that time point, After operating the stage drive motor to raise the stage 35, the operation of the stage drive motor is stopped and the stage 35 is stopped.

  As a result, the control unit 10 applies the uppermost banknote 95 (that is, one surface of the uppermost banknote 95) on the one surface 35A of the stage 35 to the lower part of the outer peripheral surface of the four picker rollers 73 with a predetermined pressing force. Press.

  In this state, the control unit 10 causes the roller drive motor to operate for feeding the bills 95 in the take-out feeding unit 32.

  At this time, the control unit 10 does not rotate the second rotating shaft 44 by the action of the one-way clutch, but rotates the two feed rollers 50 and 51 and the two auxiliary rollers 52 and 53 with the first rotating shaft 43 once. The two pressure rollers 68 are rotated in the other rotation direction together with the third rotation shaft 45 in conjunction with the rotation.

  At this time, the control unit 10 also rotates the four picker rollers 73 in the one rotation direction together with the fourth rotation shaft 46 and the fifth rotation shaft in conjunction with the rotation in the one rotation direction of the first rotation shaft 43. .

  As a result, the control unit 10 causes the four picker rollers 73 to feed the uppermost banknote 95 from the one surface 35A of the stage 35 to the take-out feeding path 42 side and send it out to the inner opening.

  In addition, the control unit 10 takes in the bill 95 (that is, the uppermost bill 95) fed from the stage 35 to the inner opening of the take-out feeding path 42 into the take-out feeding path 42 from the inner opening. The feed rollers 50 and 51 feed out to the two pressure rollers 68 side.

  Further, the control unit 10 sends the banknote 95 to the outer opening of the take-out feeding path 42 while being sandwiched between the two feed rollers 50 and 51 and the two pressure rollers 68 that are rotating in reverse to each other.

  In this way, the control unit 10 can feed the banknotes 95 stored in the banknote storages 18 to 22 from the outer opening of the take-in delivery path 42 to the central banknote transport path 27A.

  Incidentally, at this time, even if the two bills 95 are fed out from the one surface 35A of the stage 35 to the take-out feeding path 42 side by the four picker rollers 73, the control unit 10 has two pieces. The rotation of the take-in rollers 55 and 56 is stopped, so that the feeding of the lower bill 95 is temporarily stopped by the two take-up rollers 55 and 56, and only the upper bill 95 is fed with two feed rollers. 50, 51 and the two pressure rollers 68 can be sent out.

  That is, the control unit 10 is sent out from the one surface 35A of the stage 35 to the take-in / feed-out path 42 side while the two bills 95 are vertically overlapped by the four picker rollers 73 in the bill storages 18 to 22. However, the two bills 95 can be separated between the two feed rollers 50 and 51 and the two take-in rollers 55 and 56 and fed out one by one.

  Moreover, the control unit 10 is detecting the presence or absence of the passage of the banknote 95 in the taking-in delivery path 42 through the banknote passage detection part 80 in this case, for example.

  And every time the control unit 10 detects that the banknote 95 has passed through the take-in / feed-out path 42 via the banknote passage detection unit 80, the control unit 10 intermittently operates the stage drive motor to drive the stage elevating unit. As a result, the stage 35 is slightly raised.

  That is, each time the uppermost banknote 95 is sent out between the two feed rollers 50 and 51 and the two take-in rollers 55 and 56 from the one surface 35A of the stage 35, the control unit 10 renews it. The uppermost banknote 95 is pressed against the lower part of the outer peripheral surface of the four picker rollers 73 with a predetermined pressing force.

  Therefore, the control unit 10 always feeds the plurality of banknotes 95 on the one surface 35A of the stage 35 to the take-out feeding path 42 side by the plurality of picker rollers 73 under the same delivery condition.

  As a result, the control unit 10 can accurately feed the banknotes 95 stored in the banknote storages 18 to 22 one by one from the outer opening of the take-in delivery path 42 to the central banknote transport path 27A.
