Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a paper sheet storage device provided in, for example, a cash sorting and tallying machine.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

As this type of storage device, for example, one shown in FIG. 1 is known. In other words, 1 in the figure
1 is a storage case, and this storage case 1 is partitioned into upper and lower parts by a pair of shutters 2, 2 that operate in the direction of the arrow, with the upper side serving as a temporary accumulation section 3 and the lower side serving as a storage section 4. Further, in the storage case 1, a pushing body 5 is provided which moves up and down between the temporary accumulation section 3 and the storage section 4. Detectors 6, 6 are disposed on both sides of the storage case 1 above and below the shutters 2, 2 as boundaries.

The paper sheets A that have been input into the cash sorting and tallying machine and sorted by denomination are introduced into the storage case 1 through a conveyance path (not shown) and are accumulated in the temporary accumulation section 3. be done. When a predetermined number of sheets of paper A are accumulated in this temporary stacking section 3, the shutters 2, 2 are opened, and the sheets of paper A are dropped and stored in the storage section 4 by their own weight, and at this time, the pushing body 5 is The paper stack A that is lowered and does not fall under its own weight in the temporary stacking section 3 is forcibly pushed into the storage section 4 to complete the storage. Furthermore, after the pushing operation of the pushing body 5 is completed, the detectors 6, 6 detect the presence or absence of the paper waste A remaining in the temporary accumulation section 3, and the paper waste A remains in the temporary stacking section 3.
If any remains, I try to remove it.

However, in the past, the detection of the remaining paper sheets A was performed at the point when the pushing operation of the paper sheets A was completed and the pusher 5 returned to the upper part of the storage section 4, that is, to the side of the temporary stacking section 3. . Therefore, during the pushing operation, the paper sheets A remaining on the upper side of the pushing body 5 are not detected by the detectors 6, 6, and when the pushing body 5 returns upward, they may get lost in the surroundings, or the paper sheets A remaining on the upper side of the pushing body 5 may It had the disadvantage that it remained stuck on the train. In addition, the calculation amount of the classified paper A and the paper A stored in the storage section 4 are shown.
The number of sheets did not match and the process had to be reprocessed, which was a time-consuming inconvenience.

[Purpose of invention]

This invention was made with attention to the above circumstances,
The purpose is to provide a paper sheet storage device that can detect the remaining paper sheets even if they remain on the upper side of the pushing body during the pushing operation. That is.

[Summary of the idea]

The present invention uses a detector to detect the presence or absence of paper sheets on the pusher when the pusher pushes the paper sheets into the storage section.

[Example of idea]

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 2 to 4. 11 in the figure is a storage case provided for the cash classification calculator, and this storage case 11
Inside is a pair of shutters 1 that can be slid in the direction of the arrow.
2 and 12, with the upper side serving as a temporary accumulation section 13 and the lower side serving as a storage section 14. Further, a pusher body 15 is provided within the storage case 11 so as to be movable up and down. When a predetermined number of paper sheets A as paper sheets are accumulated in the temporary stacking section 13, the pushing body 15 is lowered from the temporary stacking section 13 toward the storage section 14 by a drive mechanism (not shown). When it reaches the dead center, it is raised again to the temporary accumulation section 13 side and stands by. Further, protrusions 16, 16 are formed on the inner wall surfaces of the side plates 11a, 11b facing each other of the storage case 11, respectively, along the vertical direction, and notches 17,
17 are formed respectively, and these notches 17, 1
7 and the protruding portions 16, 16 are fitted in a nested manner as shown in FIG. Due to this fitting, even if the paper stacks A are accumulated in the temporary stacking section 13 along the wall surface in an upright position, the pushing body 15 reliably pushes the paper stacks A into the storage section 14. It is now possible to do so. Further, on both sides of the storage case 11, photodetectors 18 consisting of a light emitting element 19 and a light receiving element 20 are disposed above and below the shutters 12, 12, respectively. The light emitting elements 19 of these photodetectors 18, 18,
The light irradiated from 19 passes through the through holes 21, 21 bored in the side plates 11a, 11b of the storage case 11 and the notch 2 formed in the side of the pusher 15.
2, 22 to the light receiving elements 20, 20,
Paper defect A is detected when light is blocked.

On the other hand, on the upper side of the storage case 11 are rollers 23, 23 and 24, 24, and these rollers 2
Belt 2 stretched across 3, 23, 24, 24
A conveyance path 27 consisting of 5 and 26 is provided. This conveyance path 27 transports the paper A which has been fed into the cash sorting and tallying machine and whose denomination has been determined into the storage case 1.
1. In addition, the conveyance path 11
A rotary impeller 28 is provided at the lower side of the discharge end of the rotary impeller 28, which receives the paper sheets A discharged from the conveyance path 27 one by one, and then rotates the paper sheets A by a predetermined amount. It is designed to eject and fall horizontally.

The paper sheets A, which have been input into the cash sorting and tallying machine and whose denominations have been determined, are transported by type through the transport path 27 to the storage case 1.
1. This introduced paper A is fed into the rotary impeller 28 one by one, and
The side plate 1 of the storage case 11 rotates by a predetermined amount.
It is discharged toward the side 1b, falls horizontally, and is accumulated on the shutters 12, 12 of the temporary accumulation section 13. When a predetermined number of sheets of paper A are accumulated on the shutters 12, 12, the shutters 12,
12 is opened and the pushing body 15 is lowered. As a result, the paper sheets A in the temporary stacking section 13 fall into the storage section 14 under their own weight, and the paper sheets A that do not fall under their own weight are forcibly pushed into the storage section 14 by the pusher 15 and stored. Ru. At the time of this pushing, the pushing body 15, as shown in FIG.
At the time when the paper sheet A is located in the storage section 14, the photodetector 18 detects the presence or absence of the paper sheet A remaining on the pushing body 15. When this light detection 18 detects the remaining paper A on the pushing body 15, the remaining paper A is treated as already stored and the storage operation is stopped, and the operator removes the remaining paper A and stores it in the storage area. 1
Store within 4.

In the above-described embodiment, the present invention has been described as being applied to a paper waste sorting and tallying machine to store paper waste, but it may also be used to store paper sheets other than paper waste. It goes without saying that the present invention can be modified in various ways without departing from the gist thereof.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, the present invention uses a detector to detect the presence or absence of paper sheets on the pushing body at the time when the pushing body pushes the paper sheets into the storage section. During the storage operation, storage errors can be detected and dealt with early, and there is no need to worry about losing or damaging paper sheets, which is the case in the past, and reliability can be significantly improved. It is something.
