Abstract

PURPOSE:To surely convey a note despite a number of sheets of the notes by respectively mounting sponge rollers to the first roller shaft while rollers, for curving the note into a wave shape in parallel with the conveying direction, to the second roller shaft. CONSTITUTION:Closing an opening and closing arm 1, when a note 9 is held, a conveying belt 20 is driven by a driving source, conveying the note 9 to be stored in a safe. When the note 9 is conveyed in its small number of sheet, it is curved into a wave shape parallel with the conveying direction by rollers 8 and sponge rollers 4, and because the sponge roller 4 increases rigidity of the note 9 for its conveying direction while rotates pressing the note 9 to a facing conveying belt 20, the note 9 is surely conveyed. When the note 9 is conveyed in its large number of sheets, the roller shaft 4 hollows playing a role of cushion and preventing the note 9 from being adapted to a roller shaft 6.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention provides a system in which a transport belt supports and transports banknotes by opening and closing a fixed arm wound between rollers, and stores the banknotes in a safe.
The present invention relates to a banknote storage mechanism for a cash processing machine.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 4 is a side view showing a conventional example of this type of banknote storage mechanism.

This banknote storage mechanism is equipped with an idle roller 5, a roller shaft 6 including a conveyance roller 31, and an idle roller 5, an opening/closing arm 1 that rotates around the roller shaft 6, and a drive source (not shown). It consists of a fixed arm 2 which is driven via a belt roller (not shown) attached to a roller shaft 7 and has a conveyor belt 20 supported by a belt roller 13. It is a mechanism for printing and transporting banknotes and storing them in the safe 10.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The bill storing mechanism of the conventional cash processing machine described above is a mechanism in which the idle roller 5 of the opening/closing arm 1 and the conveyor belt 20 sandwich and convey bills, and the bill storage mechanism is such that the idle roller 5 of the opening/closing arm 1 and the conveyor belt 20 sandwich and convey bills. When a bent item is conveyed, the banknotes tend to get tangled in the movable part, and when a large number of banknotes are conveyed in piles, the banknotes hit the roller shaft 6, making it impossible to reliably convey the banknotes.

[Means for solving problems]

The banknote storage mechanism of the cash processing machine of the present invention has an idle roller and a first roller shaft, an opening/closing arm that rotates about the roller shaft as a support axis, and an endless belt wound between two belt rollers. The transfer belt includes a fixed arm having a second roller shaft to which one belt roller is attached, and when the opening/closing arm is closed, a banknote is sandwiched between the idle roller of the opening/closing arm and the conveying belt, and the bill is inserted into the conveyor belt. In a banknote storage mechanism of a cash processing machine that transports banknotes and stores them in a safe by driving a belt through a second roller shaft and one belt roller, a sponge roller is attached to the first roller shaft, and the A roller for bending the bill into a wave shape parallel to the conveying direction is attached to the second roller shaft.

[Effect]

Therefore, when transporting a small number of banknotes, the banknotes are bent with sponge rollers, and the bending strengthens the stiffness of the banknotes in the transport direction, making it easier to transport creased or folded banknotes. Even when a large number of banknotes are stacked and conveyed, the sponge roller can prevent the banknotes from hitting the roller shaft.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view of an embodiment of a banknote storage mechanism of a cash processing machine according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side view of the embodiment of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a top view of a roller shaft portion.

The opening/closing arm 1 includes an idle roller 5 and a roller shaft 6.
It rotates about the roller shaft 6 as a support shaft, and is provided facing the fixed arm 2 so as to sandwich the bill 9 when closed. The dashed line in FIG. 2 shows a state in which the opening/closing arm 1 is open. The fixed arm 2 has a belt roller 13 and a roller shaft 7, and a conveyance roller 32, a belt roller 12, and a roller 8 are attached to the roller shaft 7. An endless conveyor belt 20 is wound around the belt roller 13 and the belt roller 12. Attached to the roller shaft 6 are a conveyance roller 31 facing the conveyance roller 32, a conveyance belt 20 on both left and right sides, an opposing idle roller 5, and two sponge rollers 4 facing the central conveyance belt 20. With these configurations, when the opening/closing arm 1 is closed and the bill 9 is held, the conveyor belt 20 is driven by a drive source (not shown), and the bill 9 is conveyed and stored in a safe (not shown). Note that the rollers 8 are attached between the respective conveyance belts 20 of the roller shaft 7 in order to bend the banknotes 9 into a wave shape parallel to the conveyance direction.

When the number of banknotes 9 is small, the sponge roller 4 bends the banknote 9 into a wave shape parallel to the transport direction by the roller 8 and the sponge roller 4, as shown in FIG. 3, to strengthen the stiffness of the banknote 9 in the transport direction. At the same time, the opposing conveyor belt 2
Since the banknotes 9 are pressed against the banknotes 9 and rotated, the transport of the banknotes 9 is ensured. When the number of banknotes 9 is large, the sponge roller 4
The roller shaft 6 is recessed and acts as a cushion.
prevent the banknote 9 from hitting the banknote 9.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention conveys a small number of banknotes by attaching a sponge roller to the first roller shaft and attaching a roller for bending the banknotes in a wave shape parallel to the conveyance direction to the second roller shaft. When transporting banknotes, the banknotes are bent with sponge row arms, and the bending strengthens the banknotes in the transport direction, so even if the banknotes are creased or folded, they will not move. Also, when conveying a large number of banknotes in piles, the sponge roller prevents the banknotes from hitting the roller shaft, ensuring that banknotes are handled securely regardless of the number of banknotes. It has the effect of being able to be transported to
