  Further, the non-reflux box 74 and the reflux boxes 70, 71, 72, 73 have the same outer shape, and the banknote entrances (or entrances) of the boxes are provided at a common position. Therefore, the positions of the boxes can be exchanged with each other without using software settings or dip switch (not shown) settings.

  The denominations of banknotes stored in the reflux boxes 70, 71, 72, 73 can also be set by software, dip switch settings, etc. Even if banknotes of the same denomination are stored in a plurality of reflux boxes. good.

  The deposit / withdrawal port 10, the identification unit 30, the first temporary storage 40, the second temporary storage 50, the storage 60 for storing counterfeit / forgotten banknotes, the non-reflux box 74, The reflux boxes 70, 71, 72, and 73 are connected by transport paths 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25 that transport bills. These transport paths 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25 are driven by a driving source (not shown). In addition, the drive source of each transport path may be a separate drive source, or a plurality of transport paths may be collectively driven by a single drive source. In addition, a gate (not shown) is provided at a branch point of each conveyance path.

  The conveyance path 20 is a conveyance path that connects the deposit / withdrawal port 10 and the inside of the safe 104. The conveyance path 21 is a conveyance path that conveys banknotes between the identification unit 30 and the conveyance path 20. The conveyance path 22 is a conveyance path for conveying the banknotes to the banknote storage 60 forgery / forgetting. The conveyance path 23 is a conveyance path that conveys banknotes between the identification unit 30 and the first temporary storage 40. The conveyance path 24 is connected to the second temporary storage 50 and is a conveyance path that conveys rejected banknotes to the second temporary storage 50 (or rejected banknotes from the second temporary storage 50).

The banknote transaction apparatus 101 includes a deposit / withdrawal port 10, an identification unit 30, a first temporary storage 40, a second temporary storage 50, a counterfeit / forgotten banknote storage 60, and a non-reflux box 74. , Reflux boxes 70, 71, 72, 73, transport paths 20 to 25, 25 a, a gate (not shown), and a storage unit (not shown). Each of these mechanisms and components is connected to the control unit 109 and performs necessary operations under the control of the control unit 109. That is, the control unit 109 receives a command from the main body control unit 107 via the bus 106 of the automatic teller machine 1, and controls each mechanism and component based on the command.

  The storage unit (not shown) is, for example, a RAM (Random Access Memory) or the like, and the identification information (denomination information, authenticity information, status information) of the paper sheets determined by the identification unit 30, Stores information unique to the paper sheet (eg, serial number printed on the paper sheet).

  Next, a bill deposit operation will be described. The banknote depositing / withdrawing operation includes an operation of depositing a banknote inserted by a user into a banknote depositing / dispensing machine (a depositing operation) and an operation of depositing a banknote stored in the banknote depositing / dispensing machine to a user (withdrawal) Gold operation). In addition, the depositing operation includes an operation of counting banknotes inserted by the user (payment counting operation), and an operation of identifying the rejected banknotes in the counted banknotes by the identifying unit 30 and then returning them to the user (reject return). Operation) and an operation of storing the counted banknotes in the non-reflux box 74 and the reflux boxes 70, 71, 72, 73 (payment storage operation).

  Detailed processing in the deposit counting operation will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a side view showing a path in which the bill handling apparatus 101 performs a deposit counting operation. The banknote transaction apparatus 101 separates the banknotes inserted into the deposit / withdrawal port 10 via the banknote slot 101a one by one. Thereafter, the separated banknotes are passed through the banknote conveyance paths 20 and 21, and the identification information and unique information of the banknotes are acquired by the identification unit 30. When it can be recognized as a banknote (a normal banknote), it passes through the banknote conveyance path 23 and temporarily stores the main banknote in the first temporary storage 40. Although it was recognized as a banknote, when an inclination error or an interval error between banknotes (reject banknote) occurs, the banknote is temporarily stored in the second temporary storage 50 through the banknote transport path 24.

  Detailed processing in the reject return operation will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a side view showing a path for performing a reject return operation in the banknote handling apparatus 101. The banknote (reject banknote) temporarily stored in the second temporary storage 50 is conveyed to the identification unit 30 via the banknote conveyance path 25, and the identification unit 30 reacquires identification information and unique information of the banknote. . The banknotes that can be re-recognized as normal banknotes are stored in the first temporary storage 40 via the banknote transport path 23. Banknotes not recognized as regular banknotes are transported to the deposit / withdrawal port 10 via the banknote transport path 20 and returned to the user. When the banknote is returned to the deposit / withdrawal port 10, a screen for instructing the user to reinsert the banknote is displayed on the customer operation unit 103.

  Next, the configuration and operation of a part of the power transmission mechanism provided in the banknote transaction apparatus in the present embodiment will be described.

  5 (a), 5 (b), 5 (c), and 5 (d) are explanatory views showing the operation of the driving member and the connection state between the driven member.

  The power transmission mechanism in the present embodiment includes a driving member 500, a left driven member 503a on the left side of the driving member, a right driven member 505a on the right side of the driving member, and a shaft 503S. Here, when the distance between the left driven member 503a and the right driven member 505a is L1, and the length of the drive member 500 is L2, the relationship is L1 <L2.

  The driving member 500 can freely rotate and move with respect to the shaft 503S. The driving member 500 includes a left contact portion 500l having a slope and a right contact portion 500r. Further, the drive member 500 is provided with a long hole 515 in a direction inclined with respect to the shaft 503S, and the shaft 503S is provided with a pin 518p fixed to the shaft 503S so as to penetrate the long hole 515. . The drive member 500 is attached with a coil spring 516 that is a resistance member that imparts a resistance force in the rotational direction. The coil spring 516 is fixed so as not to move and is wound around the drive member 500. Here, the coil spring 516 is not fixed to the driving member 500 and is configured to slide on the surface. That is, the coil spring 516 is wound around the drive member 500 by a winding force that does not cause the drive member 500 to rotate with the rotation of the shaft 503S and that the drive member 500 can move in the direction of the shaft 503S. It provides resistance.

  Since the drive member 500 receives a resistance force in the rotational direction by the coil spring 516, a sufficient contact force is generated between the elongated hole 515 of the drive member 500 and the pin 518 fixed to the shaft 503S.

  Further, the left driven member 503a and the right driven member 505a are attached to the shaft 503S so as to be rotatable through bearings 503c and 505b. The left driven member 503a and the right driven member 505a have claw portions 5051 and claw portions 5031 having inclined surfaces.

  Note that both the contact surfaces of the driving member and the driven member need not be inclined surfaces. For example, a slope may be provided only on the left and right contact portions of the drive member. Or you may provide a slope only in the nail | claw part of a driven member.

Next, the operation of the driving member and the connection state between the driven member will be described. When the shaft 503S rotates in the direction of the arrow A, the driving member 500 receives the elastic resistance force from the coil spring 516, and thus is provided on the driving member 500 that is not rotated by the rotation of the shaft 503S and the pin 518p fixed to the shaft 503S. A contact force F ₁ is generated between the elongated hole 515 and the power of the shaft 503 S is transmitted to the drive member 500. Further, with the rotation of the shaft 503s, right contact portion 500r of the drive member 500 receives the contact force _{F 2} from the slope of the claw portion 5051 of the right driven member that the contact, the drive member 500 is pushed out. The axial direction of the contact force _F 1, _{F 2} described above, the drive member 500 is securely it is possible to move to the left driven member 503a side (the direction of arrow _{D 1)} (Figure 5 (b)). Then, the left contact portion 500l of the driving member 500 contacts and is coupled to the left driven member 503a (FIG. 5C), and the power of the shaft 503S is transmitted to the left driven member 503a through the driving member 500. At this time, the drive member 500 moves to the opposite side of the other right driven member 505a, and the drive member 500 and the right driven member 505a are not in contact with each other, so that no rotational torque is transmitted to the right driven member 505a (FIG. 5 ( d)).

As described above, when the distance between the left driven member 503a and the right driven member 505a is L1, and the length of the drive member 500 is L2, the relationship is L1 <L2. With this relationship, for example, even if the contact between the coil spring 516 and the drive member 500 becomes insufficient and the contact force F1 is such that the drive member 500 starts to rotate with the rotation of the shaft 503S, the right contact of the drive member 500 parts 500r and alone contact force _{F 2} between the inclined surface of the claw portion 5051 of the right driven member, the drive member 500 is able to bind the left driven member 503a.

  As described above, in the power transmission mechanism in the present embodiment, the drive member and the driven member are attached on the same shaft. Therefore, when the drive member moves and contacts one driven member, the drive member moves to the opposite side of the other driven member and does not come into contact, and the drive member does not mesh simultaneously with the driven members on both sides. There is no transmission, and it is possible to switch the power transmission reliably, which is highly reliable.

  Further, since it operates by the rotation of the shaft to which the drive member is attached, there is no need for a power source for driving, the number of parts is small, and the size is simple.

6 (a), 6 (b), 6 (c), and 6 (d) are explanatory diagrams showing the connection state between the driving member and the driven member in the direction opposite to the upward movement. It is. When the shaft 503S rotates in the direction of the arrow B, the driving member 500 receives an elastic resistance force from the coil spring 516, so that the pin 518p fixed to the shaft 503S and the driving member 500 that is not rotated by the rotation of the shaft 503S are provided. The contact force F ₃ is generated between the elongated hole 515 and the power of the shaft 503 S is transmitted to the drive member 500. Further, with the rotation of the shaft 503s, the left contact portion 500l of the drive member 500 receives the contact force _{F 4} from the inclined surface of the claw portion 5031 of the left driven member that the contact, the drive member 500 is pushed out. By the contact force _F 3, _{F 4} in the axial direction of the above, the drive member 500 is securely it is possible to move to the right driven member 505a side (the direction of arrow _{D 2)} (Figure 6 (b)). Then, the right contact portion 500r of the driving member 500 contacts and is coupled to the right driven member 505a (FIG. 6C), and the power of the shaft 503S is transmitted to the right driven member 505a through the driving member 500. At this time, the drive member 500 moves to the opposite side of the other left driven member 503a, and the drive member 500 and the left driven member 503a are not in contact with each other, so that no rotational torque is transmitted to the left driven member 503a (FIG. 6 ( d)).

  As described above, in the power transmission mechanism in the present embodiment, the drive member and the driven member are attached on the same shaft. Therefore, when the drive member moves and contacts one driven member, the drive member moves to the opposite side of the other driven member and does not come into contact, and the drive member does not mesh simultaneously with the driven members on both sides. There is no transmission, and it is possible to switch the power transmission reliably, which is highly reliable.

  Further, since it operates by the rotation of the shaft to which the drive member is attached, there is no need for a power source for driving, the number of parts is small, and the size is simple.

  Example 1 is a case where the above-described power transmission mechanism is applied to a second temporary storage 50 that is a banknote storage for storing and discharging banknotes. Hereinafter, the detailed structure of the second temporary storage 50 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 7 is a side view showing the configuration of the second temporary storage 50. The second temporary storage 50 includes a tape 501, a scraper 510 for peeling the tape 501 and banknotes, an idler 504 arranged for adjusting the arrangement and tension of the tape, and a banknote P on the tape 501. A wheel 502 that winds up with the wheel 502, a shaft 502S to which the wheel 502 is attached, a reel 503 that winds up the tape 501, a shaft 503S of the reel 503, a roller 511 that transports the bill P, and the bill P A movable guide 506 that is a surface to be conveyed and a guide roller 509 that guides the tape 501 and the banknote P to the wheel 502 are provided.

  The bills guided to the second temporary storage 50 via the transport path 24 are transported into the second temporary storage 50 with the short direction as the transport direction. The second temporary storage 50 includes a single long tape 501, and a wheel 502 and a reel 503 are provided at both ends of the tape. Note that a rotational driving force is applied to the wheel 502 and the reel 503 by a driving motor 508.

  When banknotes are stored in the second temporary storage 50, the banknotes pass between the rollers 511 from the transport path 24 and are transported onto the movable guide 506, and are deformed into a waveform by the wheel 502 and the guide roller 509. Then, it is conveyed onto the tape 501. Then, by rotating the wheel 502, the banknote is conveyed by the tape 501, and the banknote is wound around the wheel 502 together with the tape 501.

  On the other hand, when the bill is released from the second temporary storage 50, the reel 503 takes up the tape 501 and the bill wound around the wheel 502 together with the tape 501 is released from the wheel 502. At this time, the banknotes sandwiched between the tapes 501 are deformed and imparted to a waveform by the wheel 502 and the guide roller 509, discharged from the second temporary storage 50, and transported to the transport path 24.

  Here, the scraper 510 is in contact with the wheel 502 at a predetermined pressure. The banknote is wound around the wheel 502 and discharged along the outer periphery of the wheel 502. In such a case, if the roller 511 cannot receive the banknote released from the wheel 502, it causes a paper jam. In order to prevent such a banknote conveyance jam, the scraper 510 peels the banknote released along the outer periphery of the wheel 502 from the outer periphery of the wheel 502 and guides it in the direction of the roller 511. Thereafter, the banknote is separated from the tape 501 by the roller 511 and delivered to the transport path 24. The tape 501 passes through the idler 504 and is wound around the reel 503.

  FIG. 8 is a front view illustrating the configuration of the second temporary storage 50 according to the first embodiment. The shafts 502S and 503S are rotatably supported with respect to the side plates 513a and 513b. Torque limiters 517 and 514 are respectively attached to the wheel 502 and the reel 503, and the torque limiter 517 is connected to the reel 503 via the wheel 502 and the torque limiter 514 via gears 503b and 507.

  Gears 512, 503b, and 505, a reel 503, a driving member 500, and a left driven member 503a and a right driven member 505a are attached to both sides of the shaft 503S. The gear 512 is directly attached to the shaft 503S while being fixed to the shaft 503S, and a driving force is transmitted from the gear 520 of the motor 508. On the other hand, the gears 503b and 505, the reel 503, the left driven member 503a, and the right driven member 505a are attached to the shaft 503S through bearings 503c and 505b so as to be rotatable. The drive member 500 is attached so as to be rotatable with respect to the shaft 503S and movable in the axial direction (left-right direction in FIG. 8). Then, when the driving member 500 contacts the left driven member 503a or the right driven member 505a, the driving force is transmitted to the left driven member 503a or the right driven member 505a.

  A wheel 502 and a gear 519 are attached to the shaft 502S while being fixed to the shaft 502S.

  Next, the operation of the second temporary storage 50 will be described.

  FIGS. 9A and 9B are explanatory diagrams of the drive system when the tape 501 is wound around the reel 503 of the second temporary storage 50. FIG. Here, the operation of the power transmission mechanism including the drive member 500, the left driven member 503a, and the right driven member 505a is as described above. When the motor 508 rotates, the driving force of the motor 508 is transmitted to the shaft 503S via the gear 520 and the gear 512 of the motor 508, and the shaft 503S rotates in the direction of arrow A. As described above, when the shaft 503S rotates in the direction of the arrow A, the driving member 500 receives an elastic resistance force from the coil spring 516, so that a contact force is generated between the pin 518p and the elongated hole 515, and the power of the shaft 503S is increased. Is transmitted to the drive member 500, and the drive member 500 moves to the left driven member 503a side.

  When the pin 518p moves to the end of the long hole 515, the left contact portion 500l of the driving member 500 is in contact with and coupled to the left driven member 503a, so that the rotational torque of the driving member 500 is transmitted to the left driven member 503a. . At this time, the driving member 500 moves to the opposite side of the other right driven member 505a, and the driving member 500 and the right driven member 505a are not in contact with each other, so that no rotational torque is transmitted to the right driven member 505a.

  With the above operation, the rotational torque of the left driven member 503a is transmitted to the reel 503, and the reel 503 rotates in the direction of winding the tape 501 (the direction of arrow C). When the reel 503 starts to wind the tape 501, tension is applied to the tape 501, so that rotational torque starts to act on the wheel 502. When this rotational torque exceeds the set torque of the torque limiter 517, the wheel 502 starts to rotate in the direction in which the tape 501 is released (direction of arrow E). By the action of the torque limiter 517, the tape 501 can stably convey the banknote without loosening.

  Thereafter, the completion of winding of the tape 501 by the reel 503 is detected by a sensor or the like (not shown), and then the motor 508 is stopped. When the motor 508 is stopped, the operations of the shaft 503S and the reel 503 are also stopped. At this time, the tension applied to the tape 501 is lost, and the operations of the shaft 502S and the wheel 502 are also stopped.

  FIGS. 10A and 10B are explanatory diagrams of a drive system when the tape 501 and the banknote are wound around the wheel 502 of the second temporary storage 50. FIG. Here, the operation of the power transmission mechanism including the drive member 500, the left driven member 503a, and the right driven member 505a is as described above. When the motor 508 rotates, the driving force of the motor 508 is transmitted to the shaft 503S via the gear 520 and the gear 512 of the motor 508, and the shaft 503S rotates in the direction of arrow B. Here, the drive member 500 moves to the right driven member 505a side according to the same principle as when the tape 501 is wound around the reel 503 of the second temporary storage 50 (see FIGS. 9A and 9B). The right contact portion 500r of the driving member 500 comes into contact with the right driven member 505a. The rotational torque of the driving member 500 is transmitted to the right driven member 505a by the frictional force. At this time, since the drive member 500 moves to the opposite side to the left driven member 503a, the rotational torque is not transmitted to the left driven member 503a.

  The rotational torque of the right driven member 505a is transmitted to the shaft 502S via the gears 505 and 519. The shaft 502S rotates in the direction in which the wheel 502 winds up the tape 501 (the direction of the arrow G). When the wheel 502 starts to wind the tape 501, tension is applied to the tape 501, so that rotational torque starts to be applied to the reel 503. This rotational torque is transmitted to the torque limiter 514 via the gears 503b and 507. When the transmitted rotational torque exceeds the set torque of the torque limiter 514, the reel 503 starts to rotate in the direction in which the tape 501 is ejected (direction of arrow F). By the action of the torque limiter 514, the tape 501 can stably convey the banknote without loosening.

  After the banknote winding is completed, the motor 508 is stopped. When the motor 508 is stopped, the operations of the shaft 502S and the wheel 502 are also stopped. At this time, the tension applied to the tape 501 is lost, and the operations of the shaft 503S and the reel 503 are also stopped.

  As explained above, in some power transmission mechanisms in the banknote transaction apparatus in the present embodiment, the drive member and the driven member for transmitting power are mounted on the same axis, and on both sides of the drive member. Since the driven member is provided, when the driving member transmits power to one driven member, it does not come into contact with the other driven member, so that the driving member does not mesh with the driven members on both sides at the same time. Since power is not transmitted to the member, it is possible to switch power transmission reliably and high reliability.

  Further, the drive member includes a long hole provided in a direction inclined with respect to the rotation shaft, and a pin fixed to the rotation shaft so as to penetrate the long hole, and the pin is formed by the long hole, The drive member is configured to move in the axial direction of the rotation shaft. According to such a configuration, since the drive member is operated by the rotation of the attached shaft, there is no need for a power source for switching the drive transmission, and it is possible to make the configuration small and simple with a small number of parts. is there.

In the following, only differences from the first embodiment will be described, and the same mechanism as that of the first embodiment will be described using the same reference numerals.

  In this embodiment, the power transmission means described in the first embodiment is applied to two different independent conveyance paths. The first transport path 2 a includes a pulley 80 and a transport belt 90, and the second transport path 2 b includes a pulley 81 and a transport belt 91. The pulleys 80 and 81 are connected to the left driven member 503a and the right driven member 505a via power transmission belts 91 and 92, respectively.

The same principle as in Example 1, by rotating the shaft 503S in the drawing direction H by a motor (not shown), the drive member 500 is moved in the arrow D ₃ direction, the left contact portion 500l of the drive member and the left driven member 503a After the contact, power is transmitted through the belt 91, and the first transport path 2a operates.

On the other hand, by rotating the shaft 503S in the drawing direction I by a motor (not shown), the drive member 500 is moved in the arrow D ₄ direction, after the right contact portion 500r of the drive member is in contact with the right driven member 505a, is powered It is transmitted through the belt 92, and the second transport path 2b operates.

  As described above, it is possible to arbitrarily move two independent conveyance paths by changing the rotation direction of one motor. Thereby, it is possible to realize a small configuration with a small number of parts. Further, in this configuration, the driving member and the driven member for transmitting power are mounted on the same shaft, and the driven member is provided with the driven members on both sides. When transmitting, the other driven member does not come into contact, so the drive member does not mesh with the driven members on both sides at the same time and power is not transmitted to the driven members on both sides at the same time. Switching is possible and high reliability.

  Further, the drive member includes a long hole provided in a direction inclined with respect to the rotation shaft, and a pin fixed to the rotation shaft so as to penetrate the long hole, and the pin is formed by the long hole, The drive member is configured to move in the axial direction of the rotation shaft. According to such a configuration, since the drive member is operated by the rotation of the attached shaft, there is no need for a power source for switching the drive transmission, and it is possible to make the configuration small and simple with a small number of parts. is there.

  FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of the third embodiment. Hereinafter, the third embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. In the following, only differences from the first and second embodiments will be described, and the same mechanism as that of the first and second embodiments will be described using the same numbers.

  In this embodiment, the power transmission means described in the first embodiment is adapted to the two-stage safe 3. The shaft 503S is rotatably supported with respect to the side plates 86a and 86b. Attached to the shaft 503S are gears 82a, 82d, 83b, a drive member 500, and left and right driven members 503a and 505a on both sides of the drive member 500 (in this embodiment, above and below the drive member 500). It has been. The gear 83b is directly attached to the shaft 503S while being fixed to the shaft 503S, and a driving force is transmitted from the gear 83a of the motor 83. The gear 82a and the left driven member 503a, and the gear 82d and the right driven member 505a are attached to the shaft 503S so as to be rotatable through bearings 503c and 505b, respectively.

According to the same principle as in the first and second embodiments, when the motor 83 rotates, the driving force of the motor 83 is transmitted to the shaft 503S via the gear 83a and the gear 83b of the motor 83. rotation, drive member 500 is moved in the arrow _{D 5} direction, (in the case of this embodiment, on the drive member 500) left contact portion 500l of the drive member 500 when the contacts to the left driven member 503a, is powered It is transmitted to the conveyance roller 85a through the gear 82b and the shafts 82c and 84a.

  The banknote P that has entered the two-stage safe 3 is guided by the gate 87 toward the first banknote storage chamber 88 by the above operation. Thereafter, the bill P is transported to the first bill storage chamber 88 by the rotation of the transport roller 85a.

On the other hand, when the motor 83 rotates, the driving force of the motor 83 is transmitted to the shaft 503S via the gear 83a and the gear 83b of the motor 83. When the shaft 503S is rotated in the direction K in the figure, the driving member 500 is when moving the arrow _{D 6} direction, the right contact portion 500r of the drive member 500 (in the case of this embodiment, under the driving member 500) is in contact with the right driven member 505a, motive power gear 82e and shaft 82f, 84b Is transmitted to the conveying roller 85b.
