BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, automatic teller machines and the like used in financial institutions, stores, etc. allow customers to deposit cash such as banknotes and coins, or withdraw cash from customers, depending on the content of the transaction with the customer. The automatic teller machine includes, for example, a bill depositing and dispensing section that exchanges bills with customers, a discriminating section that distinguishes the denomination and authenticity of the inserted bills and reads the serial number, and a discriminating section that reads the serial number of the inserted bills. Some banknotes include a temporary holding section for temporarily holding banknotes, a conveying section for transporting banknotes, and a banknote storage for storing banknotes by denomination.

For example, the temporary storage section includes a rotating cylindrical drum and a long tape, one end of the tape is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the drum, and the tape and banknotes are overlapped and wound around the drum to store banknotes. something is proposed. In such a temporary holding section, a groove is carved along the rotational direction on the inner circumferential side of the outer circumferential surface of the drum where the tape is wound, and when the drum rotates in the winding direction and the groove is exposed, the groove is exposed. Reverse winding, in which the tape is wound around the drum in the opposite direction to the original direction, by inserting the regulating lever into the groove and making it contact the stopper surface of the groove to restrict rotation of the drum in the unwinding direction. There are methods to prevent this (for example, see Patent Document 1).

JP2016-95700A (Figure 10)

In such a temporary holding section, when the drum rotates in the unwinding direction and the number of tapes wound outside the groove decreases, the tape will be pushed to the regulating lever even if the groove is not exposed. There was a possibility that the regulating lever would bend due to being pushed by and enter the inside of the groove and come into contact with the stopper surface.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above points, and aims to propose a media processing device and a media transaction device that can improve reliability.

In order to solve this problem, the media processing device of the present invention includes a cylindrical drum that rotates around a rotating shaft, one end of which is fixed to the drum at a tape fixing part, and a tape that is attached to the drum along with the medium to be stored on the circumferential side of the drum. A tape is wound around the circumferential side of a certain drum, a reel is wound around the tape in advance and the tape is pulled out as the drum rotates, and a tape is wound around the drum from the circumferential side of the drum along the rotational direction of the drum at the point where the tape is wound around the drum. It is a recess that is recessed toward the inside of the drum, and the width in the direction along the rotation axis is shorter than the width of the tape in the direction along the rotation axis. This contact restricts the movement toward the inside of the drum, but when the drum rotates in the rewinding direction to rewind the tape and the tape is separated from the circumferential side of the drum and the groove is exposed, it moves toward the inside of the drum and the stopper A regulating part that regulates the rotation of the drum in the unwinding direction by contacting a surface, a biasing means that biases the regulating part toward the inside of the drum, and a tape fixing part side of the tape that prevents the tape from moving toward the drum. It is provided so that it covers at least a part of the groove along the rotation direction when wrapped around the tape, and reinforces the strength of the tape by overlapping with the reinforced part of the tape, which is the part of the tape that is fed out from the reel and goes to the drum. However, a reinforcing part is provided to prevent the regulating part from coming into contact with the stopper surface when the groove part is not exposed .

In addition, the media trading device of the present invention includes a customer service section that accepts transactions regarding media, a drum that is cylindrical and rotates around a rotating shaft, and one end of which is fixed to the drum at a tape fixing section, and the drum together with the media to be stored. A tape is wound around the peripheral side of the drum, which is the peripheral side of the drum, a reel is wound around the drum in advance and the tape is pulled out as the drum rotates, and a reel is wound around the drum along the rotational direction of the drum at the point where the tape is wound around the drum. It is a recess that is recessed from the circumferential side toward the inside of the drum, and the width in the direction along the rotation axis is shorter than the width of the tape in the direction along the rotation axis. On the other hand, when the drum rotates in the rewinding direction to rewind the tape and the tape is separated from the circumferential side of the drum and the groove is exposed, the tape moves toward the inside of the drum. a regulating part that regulates the rotation of the drum in the rewinding direction by moving and coming into contact with the stopper surface; a biasing means that biases the regulating part toward the inside of the drum; and a tape fixing part side of the tape. , is provided so as to cover at least a part of the groove along the rotational direction when the tape is wound around the drum, and overlaps with the reinforced part of the tape, which is the part of the tape that is fed out from the reel and goes to the drum, so that the tape is A reinforcing portion is provided to reinforce the strength of the groove and prevent the regulating portion from coming into contact with the stopper surface in a state where the groove portion is not exposed .

Define and explain the lower side.

[1-2. Internal structure of bill depositing and dispensing machine]
As shown in FIG. 2, the bill depositing and dispensing machine 10 as a media processing device has a bill controlling section 12 that controls each section (bill depositing and dispensing section 16, conveyance section 24, discrimination section 18, temporary storage section 20, bill storage 26, The reject storage 28 and the forgotten storage 22) are centrally controlled.

The banknote control unit 12 is mainly composed of a CPU (not shown), and reads and executes a predetermined program from a storage unit 14 (FIG. 1) consisting of ROM, RAM, hard disk drive, flash memory, etc., thereby controlling each unit. It controls various processes such as deposit transactions and withdrawal transactions. The storage unit 14 stores the discrimination results obtained by discriminating the banknotes by the discrimination unit 18, the identification results of the serial numbers of the banknotes, etc. together with transaction information.

Inside the bill depositing and dispensing machine 10, there are provided on the upper side a bill depositing and dispensing section 16, a discriminating section 18 that determines the denomination and authenticity of the bill, and a temporary holding section 20 that temporarily holds deposited bills and the like. It is being

The banknote deposit/withdrawal section 16 separates the banknotes input by the customer one by one and feeds them out to the conveyance section 24 . Further, the banknote deposit/withdrawal unit 16 separates and holds banknotes fed out to the transport unit 24 and banknotes returned to the banknote deposit/dispatch unit 16 as banknotes that cannot be deposited. Further, the banknote deposit/withdrawal unit 16 is provided with a banknote detection sensor (not shown) inside the banknote deposit/withdrawal unit 16 for detecting whether or not there are banknotes to be delivered to the transport unit 24 .

The conveyance unit 24 conveys a rectangular banknote along a conveyance path indicated by a thick line in the figure using rollers, belts, etc. (not shown), with the transverse direction along the conveyance direction. The conveying section 24 conveys the banknotes so as to pass through the discriminating section 18 in the front-rear direction, and connects the rear side of the discriminating section 18 to the temporary storage section 20 and the banknote deposit/withdrawal section 16, respectively. Further, the conveyance section 24 connects the front side of the discrimination section 18 and the banknote deposit/withdrawal section 16 , the banknote storage 26 , the reject storage 28 , and the forgotten storage 22 . A selector (not shown) is provided at a branch point of the transport section 24, and is rotated under control of the banknote control section 12 to switch the destination of the banknote. This conveyance unit 24 is provided with a plurality of banknote detection sensors for detecting banknotes, and sends the banknote detection results to the banknote control unit 12 .

The discrimination unit 18 uses an optical element, a magnetic detection element, etc. to discriminate the denomination, authenticity, degree of damage, etc. (goodness or loss) of the bill while conveying the bill within it, and then outputs the discrimination results. The banknote control unit 12 is notified. Further, the discrimination unit 18 reads and identifies a serial number, which is banknote identification information composed of alphanumeric characters and the like, which is given to each banknote and printed in advance on one side of the banknote, from the captured image data of the banknote. At this time, the discrimination unit 18 notifies the banknote control unit 12 of the identified characters as an identification result. In response to this, the banknote control unit 12 determines the destination of the banknote based on the obtained discrimination result and identification result.

The temporary holding unit 20 temporarily holds banknotes that the customer inserts into the banknote deposit/withdrawal unit 16 at the time of deposit, and temporarily holds banknotes that are judged as depositable by the validation unit 18 until the deposit is confirmed. . On the other hand, banknotes that are determined to be non-depositable are discharged to the banknote deposit/withdrawal unit 16. In addition, the temporary holding unit 20 temporarily holds banknotes that cannot be withdrawn and which are determined by the discriminating unit 18 to be unable to be withdrawn at the time of withdrawal until banknotes that can be withdrawn are withdrawn. Unusable banknotes are discharged to the reject warehouse 28.

In addition, inside the bill depositing and dispensing machine 10, there is a bill storage 26 for each denomination on the lower side, bills that have been discriminated as damaged bills (so-called unfit bills) in the discrimination section 18, bills that have been discriminated as counterfeit bills, and 5 A reject storage 28 for storing banknotes of denominations that are not returned, such as 1,000-note and 2,000-note, and a forgotten storage 22 for collecting and storing banknotes that a customer has forgotten to take from the banknote deposit/withdrawal unit 16 during a transaction are provided. ing. The banknote storage 26, the reject storage 28, and the forgotten storage 22 are configured to be detachable from slots provided in the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine 10. The banknote storage 26 uses a storage and feeding mechanism to take in and store banknotes conveyed from the transport section 24, and also discharges and supplies the stored banknotes to the transport section 24.

In this configuration, the automatic teller machine 1 is configured such that the main control unit 9 and the banknote control unit 12 control each unit based on the banknote discrimination results and identification results by the validation unit 18 to perform banknote deposit processing and banknote withdrawal processing. etc.

In other words, when a customer selects a deposit transaction via the operation display unit 6 during a deposit transaction and inserts a banknote into the banknote deposit/withdrawal unit 16, the automatic teller machine 1 transfers the inserted banknote to the banknote deposit/dispatch unit. 16 are transported one by one to the discrimination section 18. Here, the automatic teller machine 1 transports the depositable banknotes that are determined to be depositable based on the discrimination results and identification results of the discrimination section 18 to the temporary storage section 20 and temporarily stores them therein. On the other hand, the automatic teller machine 1 returns deposit-rejected banknotes determined to be unsuitable for deposit to the banknote deposit/withdrawal unit 16 and returns them to the customer by opening the shutter. After that, when the deposit amount is determined by the customer, the automatic teller machine 1 conveys the banknotes stored in the temporary holding section 20 to the discrimination section 18 and obtains the discrimination result and the serial number identification result. Here, the automatic teller machine 1 transports and stores banknotes that are determined to be storable based on the discrimination results and identification results of the discrimination unit 18 to each banknote storage 26 according to their denominations. On the other hand, the automatic teller machine 1 transports banknotes determined to be unsuitable for storage to the reject warehouse 28.

On the other hand, at the time of a withdrawal transaction, when the customer selects a withdrawal transaction and inputs the withdrawal amount via the operation display unit 6, the automated teller machine 1 determines the number of banknotes of each denomination required according to the requested amount. The banknotes are fed out from each banknote storage 26 according to the number of banknotes of each denomination and conveyed to the discrimination section 18 to obtain a discrimination result and a serial number identification result. Here, the automatic teller machine 1 conveys the withdrawable banknotes that are determined to be withdrawn based on the discrimination result and identification result of the discrimination unit 18 to the banknote deposit/withdrawal unit 16 . On the other hand, the automatic teller machine 1 transports the rejected banknotes determined to be unsuitable for withdrawal to the temporary storage unit 20 and temporarily stores them therein. Then, when the requested amount of banknotes is accumulated in the banknote deposit/withdrawal section 16, the automatic teller machine 1 opens the shutter. This makes it possible to receive the banknotes accumulated in the banknote deposit/withdrawal unit 16, and the customer receives the banknotes. Thereafter, the automatic teller machine 1 transports the rejected banknotes stored in the temporary storage unit 20 to the reject warehouse 28 and stores them therein.

[1-3. Temporary holding section configuration]
As shown in FIG. 3, the temporary storage section 20 has a structure in which various parts are attached to a frame 30. Incidentally, FIG. 3 schematically represents a left side view of the temporary storage section 20, and for convenience of explanation, some parts such as a motor and gears are omitted.

The temporary holding unit 20 is entirely controlled by a holding control unit 32. Like the main control unit 9 and the banknote control unit 12 (FIG. 1), the reservation control unit 32 is mainly configured with a CPU (not shown), and works with the banknote control unit 12 and the like to store ROM, flash memory, etc. By reading out and executing a predetermined program from the reservation storage section 33, various processes such as control regarding drum rotation and tape running are performed.

A cylindrical drum 34 is provided near the center of the frame 30 of the temporary storage section 20. The drum 34 is attached so as to be rotatable in the winding direction R1 and the rewinding direction R2 by a motor (not shown) about a rotation shaft 35 along the left-right direction, and is rotated by a motor (not shown) under the control of the holding control section 32. The driving force from is transmitted.

Further, the motor is provided with an encoder so that the amount of rotation of the output shaft of the motor can be detected as a pulse. The encoder detects the rotation amount of the motor with a resolution of, for example, 1000 or more, and sends the pulse detection result to the hold control unit 32 as the drum rotation detection result. The reservation control unit 32 can calculate the amount of rotation of the drum 34 from the drum rotation detection result detected by the encoder.

Further, within the temporary storage section 20, one tape running system 36 is provided approximately in the center of the left and right sides. This tape running system 36 runs one tape 38. The tape 38 is formed into a thin film shape, and has a sufficiently long length in the longitudinal direction and a length (namely, tape width) in the transverse direction that is sufficiently shorter than the long sides of the banknote BL.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the reel 40 is configured in the shape of a cylindrical spool, and is attached to the underside of the drum 34 so as to rotate around a rotation axis 41 parallel to the rotation axis 35 of the drum 34. It is set in. The tape 38 is wound around the reel 40, with one end of the tape 38 (also referred to as a tape end), not shown, being fixed to approximately the center in the left-right direction on the circumferential surface. The reel 40 is biased by a torque limiter (not shown) in the direction of winding the tape 38, and always maintains a predetermined tension on the tape 38. Plate-shaped reel rotation detection detectors 42 radially protrude from the circumferential side of the right end of the reel 40 at predetermined intervals.

The reel rotation detection sensor 43 is, for example, an optical sensor shaped like a capital letter "U" in which a light emitting part and a light receiving part are arranged on the left and right with a groove through which the reel rotation detection detector 42 passes. It is arranged above the reel 40. The reel rotation detection sensor 43 uses a light receiving section to detect that the reel rotation detection detector 42 blocks the light from the light emitting section, detects the presence of the reel rotation detection detector 42, and holds the detection result as a reel rotation detection result. It is sent to the control unit 32. Furthermore, when the reel rotation detection detector 42 does not block the optical axis, the reel rotation detection sensor 43 detects the OFF state as a bright state in which the light receiving section receives light from the light emitting section. When the light-receiving part blocks the optical axis, the ON state is detected as a dark state in which the light-receiving part does not receive light from the light-emitting part. The hold control unit 32 calculates the amount of rotation of the reel 40 based on the acquired reel rotation detection result.

A pulley 44 is provided on the front side of the drum 34. The pulley 44 is formed into a cylindrical shape and is inserted through a shaft 45 parallel to the rotating shaft 35 of the drum 34, and can freely rotate around the shaft 45.

The tape 38 wound around the reel 40 is pulled out from the reel 40 forward and upward, and then folded backward through the pulley 44, and then fixed at the tape fixing part 38s shown in FIG. 10, which is the tip. (also referred to as a tape start) is fixed to the center portion of the circumferential side of the drum 34 in the left-right direction.

[1-4. Tape configuration]
As shown in FIG. 6, the tape 38 is folded back at the tape fixing part 38s, so that the tape 38 is doubled in a predetermined region in the longitudinal direction at the end on the tape fixing part 38s side. Further, the tape 38 is directed from the reel 40 to the tape fixing part 38s, and when it is wound around the drum 34 at the tape fixing part 38s, it is folded back once toward the inner circumferential side and returns to the reel 40. I'm heading to Further, in the tape 38, a region of one tape 38 from the tape fixing part 38s to the tape original end 38e, which is the original end of the tape 38 itself, is a reinforcing part 60.

In the tape 38, a region of one piece of the tape 38 from the reel 40 to the tape fixing part 38s until it is folded back is a reinforced part 61. The end portion of the reinforcing portion 60 on the tape original end portion 38e side is attached to the reinforced portion 61 using double-sided tape 62 as an adhesive member. Hereinafter, the region in the tape 38 where the reinforced portion 61 and the reinforced portion 60 overlap will also be referred to as a medium overlap region 63. Since the tape 38 is doubled in the medium overlapping area 63, the overall rigidity in the medium overlapping area 63 is higher than that in the non-double area.

In this reinforcing portion 60, that is, the medium overlapping region 63, the reinforcing portion length L1, which is the length in the longitudinal direction of the tape 38, is the length of one circumference of the drum circumferential side 34o of the drum 34 (FIG. 9). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, the tape 38 extends over the entire circumference of the drum circumferential side surface 34o into the medium overlap area 63 in the rotation-permitted state immediately before the drum 34 rotates in the rewinding direction R2 and shifts to the lever-fitting state. is located. Thereby, when the tape fixing portion 38s is fixed to the drum 34, the tape 38 is made difficult to bend in the rotation-permitted state, and the regulating lever 48 is urged in the lever approach direction Rlp and is in contact with the tape 38. Intrusion into the inside of the groove portion 46 is prevented over the entire circumference of the drum circumferential side surface 34o.

With this configuration, when the temporary storage unit 20 rotates the drum 34 in the winding direction R1 during the banknote storage operation to store banknotes, the reel 40 rotates in the reel rewinding direction Rro in conjunction with the drum 34, and the tape 38 is rotated in the reel rewinding direction Rro. It moves in the tape moving direction T1 and wraps the tape 38 around the circumferential side of the drum 34 so as to overlap it. At this time, the temporary storage unit 20 sandwiches the banknote BL between the inside and outside of the tape 38 which is wound around the circumferential side of the drum 34 in an overlapping manner, and wraps the banknote BL together with the tape 38 around the circumferential side of the drum 34. On the other hand, in the temporary storage section 20, when the reel 40 is rotated in the reel winding direction Rru during a bill discharging operation to discharge the bill to the outside, the drum 34 is rotated in the rewinding direction R2 in conjunction with this, and the tape 38 is rotated in the rewinding direction Rru. It moves in the tape movement direction T2 and wraps the tape 38 around the circumferential side of the reel 40 so as to overlap it.

[1-5. Configuration of reverse winding prevention mechanism]
As shown in FIGS. 7 to 12, a groove portion 46 having a width narrower than the tape width of the tape 38 is formed in the center portion of the outer periphery of the drum 34 in the left-right direction, that is, at the location where the tape 38 is wound. ing. This groove portion 46 extends from near the winding direction R1 side of the tape fixing portion 38s, which is the starting end side portion where the tape 38 is fixed to the drum peripheral side surface 34o, which is the outer peripheral surface of the drum 34, toward the winding direction R1. It is engraved over a predetermined angular range (for example, 320 degrees). The groove portion 46 has an inclined surface 46i, which is a surface inclined from the drum circumferential side surface 34o toward the rotating shaft 35, at the end on the rewinding direction R2 side. A groove circumferential surface 46o, which is a surface parallel to the drum circumferential surface 34o, is formed over a predetermined angular range (for example, 320 degrees) toward the winding direction R1 from the end of the inclined surface 46i on the winding direction R1 side. ing. Further, a stopper surface 46s, which is a surface facing the drum circumferential surface 34o along the radial direction, is formed at the end of the groove circumferential surface 46o on the winding direction R1 side. Since the groove portion 46 is formed with an inclined surface 46i, the temporary storage portion 20 can be moved from the lever-fitted state in which the contact portion 48a of the regulation lever 48 and the contact roller 50, which will be described later, have entered the inside of the groove portion 46. When the drum 34 is rotated in the winding direction R1, the contact roller 50 rolls from the groove circumferential side surface 46o while contacting the inclined surface 46i, and the contact portion 48a comes out of the groove 46, so that the regulation lever 48 moves toward the drum 34. It is possible to return to a rotation permissible state in which the rotation of the motor is not restricted.

The tape 38 is wound around the outside of the groove 46 to prevent the groove 46 from being exposed to the outside, and is present between the groove 46 and the regulation lever 48 to prevent rotation of the regulation lever 48 into the groove 46. The rotation of the restriction lever 48 in the lever approach direction Rlp is restricted.

The regulation lever 48 is a rod-shaped member extending from the upper front side to the rear rear side, and is curved so that its lower portion approaches the drum 34 . This regulation lever 48 is provided in front of the drum 34 so as to be rotatable about a lever rotation shaft 49 in a lever retraction direction Rle in which the lever is retracted away from the groove 46 and in a lever approach direction Rlp in which it is close to the groove 46. It is being Further, the regulation lever 48 rotates the lever rotation shaft 49 by locking the rear end of the biasing member 52, which is a tension spring whose front end is fixed to the frame 30 (FIG. 3), on the upper side of the lever rotation shaft 49. It acts as a fulcrum and is biased in the lever approach direction Rlp. Further, the regulation lever 48 has a contact portion 48a formed at the lower end thereof that contacts the stopper surface 46s of the groove portion 46 in the drum 34. Further, the regulation lever 48 is provided with a contact roller 50 slightly above the contact portion 48a. The contact roller 50 is rotatably provided so that it rolls while contacting the outer circumferential surface of the tape 38 in the rotation-permitted state, and rolls while contacting the circumferential surface 46o of the groove portion 46 in the lever-fitting state. .

The contact portion 48a does not contact the tape 38 when the contact roller 50 rolls while contacting the outer peripheral surface of the tape 38, and when the contact roller 50 rolls while contacting the groove peripheral surface 46o, It is configured so as not to come into contact with the groove peripheral side surface 46o. Thereby, the regulation lever 48 can prevent the contact portion 48a from coming into contact with the tape 38, and it is possible to prevent the tape 38 from being worn out due to the drum 34 rotating while the contact portion 48a is in contact with the tape 38. . Further, a plate-shaped lever detection detector 54 is provided above the lever rotation shaft 49 of the regulation lever 48 .

The lever detection sensor 56 is, for example, an optical sensor shaped like a capital letter "U" in which a light emitting part and a light receiving part are arranged on the left and right sides with a groove through which the lever detection detector 54 passes. It is arranged above the moving shaft 49. The lever detection sensor 56 detects when the regulating lever 48 is retracted from the groove 46 by using the light receiving section to detect that the lever detection detector 54 blocks the light from the light emitting section and detecting the presence of the lever detection detector 54. It detects whether the lever is in the state or the state where it is stuck in the groove 46, and sends the detection result to the holding control unit 32 as a lever detection result. Further, when the lever detection detector 54 does not block the optical axis, the lever detection sensor 56 detects the OFF state as a bright state in which the light receiving section receives light from the light emitting section, while the lever detection detector 54 When the light is blocked, the ON state is detected as a dark state in which the light receiving section does not receive light from the light emitting section. The suspension control unit 32 can detect the state of the restriction lever 48 from the lever detection result detected by the lever detection sensor 56. The lever detection sensor 56 detects the ON state in the rotation permissible states shown in FIGS. 7, 8, and 9.

The groove 46 of the drum 34 and the regulating lever 48 form a reverse winding prevention mechanism 58. The reverse winding prevention mechanism 58 is configured such that after the tape fixing portion 38s arrives and is exposed as the drum 34 continues to rotate in the rewinding direction R2, the drum 34 further rotates in the rewinding direction R2 and the tape 38 moves toward the winding direction R1. This prevents reverse winding from being wound around the drum 34.

In such a configuration, when the drum 34 rotates in the rewinding direction R2 and the tape fixing portion 38s moves in the rewinding direction R2 from a position where it overlaps with the tape 38 and is exposed, the tape 38 separates from the groove 46 and the groove 46 is exposed. Therefore, the tape 38 that had been restricting the movement of the restriction lever 48 in the lever approach direction Rlp no longer exists outside the groove 46, and the restriction lever 48 rotates in the lever approach direction Rlp, as shown in FIG. The contact portion 48a and the contact roller 50 roll on the inclined surface 46i and enter into the groove portion 46, so that the lever is fitted into the state. At this time, the lever detection detector 54 rotates about the lever rotation shaft 49 as a fulcrum to a position away from the optical axis of the lever detection sensor 56. Therefore, the lever detection sensor 56 detects the OFF state. When the hold control section 32 serving as a control section is notified of the OFF state from the lever detection sensor 56, it stops the rotation of the motor.

Here, when the motor is stopped under the control of the hold control section 32, the drum 34 rotates for a while and then stops. At this time, the tip of the contact portion 48a does not contact the circumferential groove side surface 46o, and the contact roller 50 rotates while contacting the circumferential groove side surface 46o. The drum 34 stops before the stopper surface 46s of the groove portion 46 contacts the contact portion 48a of the regulation lever 48.

From this state, when the drum 34 is manually rotated in the rewinding direction R2 by a maintenance worker, for example, as shown in FIGS. It comes into contact with the portion 48a. Since the contact portion 48a is urged by the urging member 52 toward the groove circumferential side surface 46o and the stopper surface 46s, even if force is applied to the regulation lever 48 from the drum 34 in the rewinding direction R2, the regulation lever 48 is The lever 48 continues to contact the stopper surface 46s without coming off from the groove 46, and continues to restrict rotation of the drum 34 in the rewinding direction R2.

In this way, in the temporary holding section 20, even if a maintenance worker applies a force to rotate the drum 34 in the rewinding direction R2 from a state in which the tape 38 is not wound around the drum 34, the regulation lever 48 is moved to the stopper surface 46s. By contacting the drum 34, rotation of the drum 34 in the unwinding direction R2 can be prevented, and the occurrence of reverse winding can be prevented.

Here, if the temporary holding unit 20 does not check the lever detection result and does not stop the motor, if the tape 38 is not wound around the drum 34, the stopper in the groove 46 of the drum 34 rotating at high speed Since the contact portion 48a of the regulation lever 48 suddenly collides with the surface 46s, causing the rotation of the drum 34 to suddenly stop, there is a possibility that the tape 38 will be damaged.

On the other hand, the temporary holding section 20 is configured to stop the rotation of the motor when the lever is in the fitted state. As a result, even if the temporary holding part 20 rotates to some extent until the drum 34 actually stops after the motor is stopped, and the contact part 48a of the regulation lever 48 comes into contact with the stopper surface 46s of the groove part 46, at that time Since the drum 34 is already rotating at a low speed, it is possible to stop the rotation of the drum 34 while preventing damage to the tape 38.

[1-6. Effects, etc.]
In the above configuration, the temporary holding section 20 winds the tape 38 around the outer circumferential side of the groove 46 on the drum 34, urges the regulation lever 48 in the lever approach direction Rlp toward the groove 46, and when the tape fixing section 38s arrives. When the tape 38 separates from the groove 46, the contact portion 48a of the regulation lever 48 enters the groove 46. Therefore, when the physical movement of the regulation lever 48 is detected by the lever detection sensor 56, the rotation of the drum 34 is detected. I tried to stop it.

As a result, the temporary holding section 20 can stop the drum 34 based on a physical operation almost at the same time when the tape fixing section 38s is exposed and a portion of the drum 34 where the tape 38 is not wound occurs. Therefore, the temporary storage section 20 can prevent damage to the drum 34 due to collision of the regulation lever 48. In addition, the temporary holding unit 20 may be temporarily held by a maintenance worker who manually rotates the drum 34 in the rewinding direction R2 in an attempt to eject the banknotes even though the tape fixing unit 38s is exposed when a jam occurs. Even when the motor runs out of control due to failure of various sensors inside the part 20, the stopper surface 46s continues to contact the contact part 48a, thereby regulating the rotation of the drum 34 in the rewinding direction R2. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the tape 38 from being wound around the drum 34 in a direction opposite to its original direction, which is reverse winding.

Here, in the conventional temporary storage section 1020 shown in FIGS. 13, 14, and 15 described in Patent Document 1, the reinforcing section 60 was not provided and the medium overlapping region 63 did not exist. . Therefore, in the temporary storage section 1020, when the number of tapes 38 wound around the outside of the groove section 46 is small, especially the tape 38 is wound only for one round, and the contact roller 50 is supported by the tape 38. Even though the tape 38 exists between the groove portion 46 and the restriction lever 48 and restricts the rotation of the restriction lever 48, when the rigidity of the portion becomes low, the urging force of the urging member 52 The tape 38 was pushed into the groove 46 by the regulation lever 48, and as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, there was a possibility that the tape 38 would be bent and the regulation lever 48 would enter the groove 46.

In such a case, the tape 38 is still wound around the drum circumferential side surface 34o, even though the rotation is allowed and the lever has not yet been inserted, as shown in FIG. 15. In addition, there was a possibility that the abutting portion 48a of the regulating lever 48 would suddenly collide with the stopper surface 46s of the groove portion 46.

In such a case, the motor does not stop because the lever detection sensor 56 is not in the OFF state, and the contact portion 48a of the regulation lever 48 hits the stopper surface 46s of the groove 46 of the drum 34, which is rotating at high speed. Since the rotation of the drum 34 suddenly stops due to the sudden collision, the tape 38 and the drum 34 are damaged, resulting in malfunction of the temporary holding section 1020, and there is a possibility that reliability cannot be maintained.

On the other hand, in the temporary storage section 20 according to the present embodiment, the tape 38 is folded back at the tape fixing section 38s to form a reinforcing section 60, and the reinforcing section 60 and the reinforced section 61 are overlapped in the medium overlapping region 63 so that the tape 38 is folded back at the tape fixing section 38s. The tape fixing portion 38s side is fixed to the drum 34 by making the tape fixing portion 38s double, that is, stacking two layers.

Therefore, the temporary storage section 20 can increase the rigidity of the entire tape 38 in the medium overlapping region 63 to make it less likely to bend, and can prevent the regulation lever 48 from entering the inside of the groove section 46 in the rotation-permitted state. Thereby, the temporary holding section 20 can prevent damage to the tape 38 or the drum 34 or malfunction of the temporary holding section 20 due to sudden stop of rotation of the drum 34.

Furthermore, the temporary storage section 20 is designed to increase the rigidity of the entire tape 38 in the medium overlap area 63 by folding back the tape 38 and fixing it with double-sided tape 62. Therefore, the temporary holding section 20 allows the regulation lever 48 to be adjusted in the rotation-permitted state without adding any additional parts to prevent the tape 38 from bending or attaching a separate reinforcing tape to the reinforced section 61. It can be prevented from entering the inside of the groove portion 46.

Further, in the temporary storage section 20, the reinforcing portion length L1 is equal to one circumference of the drum circumferential side surface 34o of the drum 34. Therefore, the temporary storage section 20 can prevent the regulation lever 48 from entering the inside of the groove section 46 over the entire circumference of the drum circumferential side surface 34o in the rotation-permitted state.

Further, the temporary holding section 20 is provided with a reinforcing section 60 by folding back the tape 38 toward the inner circumferential side when the tape 38 is wound around the drum 34, with respect to the reinforced section 61. 20, the reinforcing portion 60 is provided on the side of the reinforced portion 61 that is positioned toward the inner circumference when the tape 38 is wound around the drum 34. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 18, the temporary storage section 20 has a case in which a reinforcing section 360 is provided by folding the tape 338 toward the outer circumferential side of the reinforced section 61 when the tape 338 is wound around the drum 34. In comparison, the influence of the original tape end 38e of the reinforcing portion 60 on the apparent irregularities of the external shape of the drum 34 can be reduced. As a result, the temporary holding unit 20 reduces the amount by which the regulation lever 48 rotates in the lever retraction direction Rle when the contact roller 50 of the regulation lever 48 overcomes the tape original end 38e, and even when the drum 34 rotates. The regulation lever 48 can be rotated stably.

According to the above configuration, the temporary storage section 20 includes a drum 34 which is cylindrical and rotates around a rotating shaft 35, and one end of which is fixed to the drum 34 at the tape fixing section 38s, together with banknotes BL as a medium to be stored. A tape 38 is wound around the drum peripheral side surface 34o, a reel 40 is wound around the tape 38 in advance and the tape 38 is pulled out as the drum 34 rotates, and the direction of rotation of the drum 34 is determined at the point where the tape 38 is wound around the drum 34. It is a recess that is recessed from the drum circumferential side surface 34o toward the inside of the drum 34 along the rotation axis 35, and whose width in the direction along the rotation axis 35 is shorter than the width of the tape 38 in the direction along the rotation axis 35, and a stopper surface 46s is formed. The tape 38 wrapped around the circumferential side surface 34o of the drum comes into contact with the groove 46, which restricts the movement toward the inside of the drum 34. On the other hand, the drum 34 rotates in the rewinding direction R2 to rewind the tape 38. When the tape 38 is separated from the drum circumferential side surface 34o and the groove portion 46 is exposed, a regulating lever 48 moves toward the inside of the drum 34 and comes into contact with the stopper surface 46s, thereby regulating the rotation of the drum 34 in the rewinding direction R2. , a biasing member 52 that biases the regulation lever 48 toward the inside of the drum 34, and a range along the rotational direction of the groove portion 46 when the tape 38 is wound around the drum 34 on the tape fixing portion 38s side of the tape 38. A reinforcing part 60 is provided so as to cover at least a part of the tape 38, and overlap with a reinforced part 61 of the tape 38, which is a part of the tape 38 that is fed out from the reel 40 and goes toward the drum 34, thereby reinforcing the strength of the tape 38. I made it.

As a result, the temporary storage unit 20 is in a state where the drum 34 rotates in the rewinding direction R2, the number of tapes 38 wound around the outside of the groove 46 decreases, and the groove 46 is covered with the tape 38 and is not exposed. At this time, the tape 38 is rewound to the tape fixing part 38s, while preventing the tape 38 from being pushed by the regulating lever 48 and bending, causing the regulating lever 48 to enter the groove 46 and collide with the stopper surface 46s. When the drum 46 is exposed, reverse winding of the drum 34 can be prevented.

[2. Second embodiment]
[2-1. Configuration of bill depositing and dispensing machine]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the bill depositing and dispensing machine 110 of the automatic teller machine 101 according to the second embodiment is different from the bill depositing and dispensing machine 10 of the automatic teller machine 1 according to the first embodiment. Although the temporary holding unit 120 is different from the temporary holding unit 20, the other structures are the same.

[2-2. Temporary holding section configuration]
As shown in FIG. 3, the temporary holding unit 120 is configured in the same manner as the temporary holding unit 20, except that the tape 138 is different from the tape 38. As shown in FIG. 16, in which members corresponding to those in FIG. However, other than that, the structure is the same.

The tape 138 goes from the reel 40 side to the tape fixing part 38s, is folded back at the tape fixing part 38s, the first folded part 64f1 goes towards the reel 40 side, and is further folded back, and the second folded part 64f2 goes towards the tape fixing part 38s. ing. That is, compared to the tape 38, the tape 138 is folded back once more, thereby forming a triple layer in the medium overlap area 163. Therefore, the tape 138 reinforces the reinforced portion 61 by a reinforcing portion 160 in which the tape 138 is doubled. In the reinforcing part 160, the end of the first folded part 64f1 on the reel 40 side is attached to the reinforced part 61 with double-sided tape 62a, and the end of the second folded part 64f2 on the tape fixing part 38s side. It is attached to the first folded portion 64f1 with double-sided tape 62b.

Here, by weakening the biasing force of the biasing member 52, even when the number of tapes 38 wound on the outside of the groove 46 is small, the bending of the tape 38 by the regulation lever 48 is suppressed, and the regulation lever 48 It is also conceivable to prevent this from entering the inside of the groove portion 46.

However, in that case, since the biasing force of the biasing member 52 is weak, the force for rotating the regulation lever 48 in the lever approach direction Rlp is weak, and it is greatly affected by the sliding load of the lever rotation shaft 49, etc. Even if the drum 34 rotates in the rewinding direction R2 to expose the tape fixing portion 38s and the tape 38 separates from the groove 46 and exposes the groove 46, the regulation lever 48 does not rotate normally in the lever approach direction Rlp. , there is a possibility that the lever will not be in the fitted state. In that case, the lever detection sensor 56 is not turned off and the motor is not stopped, resulting in reverse winding of the tape 38.

On the other hand, the temporary storage unit 120 increases the overall rigidity of the tape 38 in the medium overlap area 163 by making the tape 138 double or triple in the medium overlap area 163 compared to the tape 38 (FIG. 6). I made it even higher than that.

For this reason, the temporary storage section 120 maintains the biasing force of the biasing member 52 and is not significantly affected by the sliding load of the lever rotation shaft 49, so that when the groove section 46 is exposed, the regulation lever 48 is The lever can be rotated normally in the approach direction Rlp and placed in the lever-fitting state. As a result, the temporary storage section 120 prevents the tape 138 from being reversely wound, and also suppresses the bending of the tape 138 caused by the regulation lever 48 even when the number of tapes 138 wound outside the groove section 46 is small. 48 can be prevented from entering the inside of the groove portion 46.

In addition, the temporary reservation section 120 according to the second embodiment has substantially the same effects as the temporary reservation section 20 according to the first embodiment.

[3. Third embodiment]
[3-1. Configuration of bill depositing and dispensing machine]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the bill depositing and dispensing machine 210 of the automatic teller machine 201 according to the third embodiment is different from the bill depositing and dispensing machine 10 of the automatic teller machine 1 according to the first embodiment. Although the temporary holding unit 220 is different from the temporary holding unit 20, the other structures are the same.

[3-2. Temporary holding section configuration]
As shown in FIG. 3, the temporary holding unit 220 has the same structure as the temporary holding unit 20, except that the tape 238 is different from the tape 38. As shown in FIG. 17, in which members corresponding to those in FIG. However, other than that, the structure is the same.

In the tape 238, a reinforcing part 260, which is a reinforcing tape similar to the tape 238, is attached to the inner circumferential side of the reinforced part 61 when the tape 238 is wound around the drum 34. This reinforcing part 260 is in a state in which a reinforcing part tip 260e, which is an end on the tape fixing part 38s side, is aligned with the original tape end 38e of the reinforced part 61. Therefore, the tape 238 is doubled in the medium overlap area 263. The reinforcing part 260 has an end on the tape fixing part 38s side attached to the reinforced part 61 with double-sided tape 62b, and an end on the reel 40 side is attached to the reinforced part 61 with double-sided tape 62a. .

As a result, when the tape fixing portion 38s is fixed to the drum 34, the tape 238 is made difficult to bend in the rotation-permitted state, and prevents the regulating lever 48 from entering the inside of the groove portion 46 over the entire circumferential side surface 34o of the drum. It can be prevented all around.

In addition, the temporary reservation section 220 according to the third embodiment has substantially the same effects as the temporary reservation section 20 according to the first embodiment.

[4. Other embodiments]

Further, as shown in FIG. 20, by cutting out the tape 538 in the vicinity of the original tape end 38e in the shape of, for example, a capital letter "T", it is possible to lock the tape 538 in the shape of, for example, a capital letter "L". At the same time, in place of the double-sided tape, a locking groove 69 is formed in the tape 538 as a locked part, which is a notch shaped like a capital letter "L", for example, and the locking part 68 is formed. The reinforcing portion 60 may be fixed to the reinforced portion 61 by entering the locking groove 69 and locking the reinforcing portion 60 .
