[Detailed Description of the Invention] (a) Field of the Invention The present invention provides, for example, in an automatic teller machine used in banking, transaction data is displayed in the entry/exit display when a transaction is made by card or when a passbook is forgotten. The present invention relates to a feeding and collecting device for paper sheets such as a departure/arrival table, which is printed on a board and released to a customer, and, if the transaction is unsuccessful, is collected.

(b) Background of the Invention Conventionally, paper sheet feeding devices have been developed since 1973.
There is a device disclosed in Publication No. 20685, but to talk about the prior art of the entry/exit table in the above example, this entry/exit table is stored in a large number of sheets in the device of the automatic teller machine described above, and only one sheet is printed when needed. However, as the temperature inside the device rises as the device operates, the stored entry/exit table curls, and
If the loading/unloading table becomes distorted due to improper storage outside the device, mistakes may occur in feeding out from the storage section.

Furthermore, when a transaction is processed using the above-mentioned entry/exit table, if this transaction is canceled, the entry/exit table must be collected, but if this entry/exit table is collected in the bill collection box, the transfer system The arrangement and control thereof are complicated, and there is also the problem that mutual work is hindered in the post-settlement processing of the in/out table and banknotes.

(c) Purpose of the Invention This invention enables paper sheets to be reliably fed out even if they have curls or other curls, and when collecting the fed paper sheets, collection control is simple and compact. The object of the present invention is to provide a paper sheet feeding and collecting device that can be configured.

(D) Structure of the Invention The present invention provides a reciprocating conveyance path for conveying paper sheets back and forth, a feeding mechanism disposed on one side of the conveyance path and feeding out the paper sheets onto the conveyance path, and a reciprocating conveyance path for conveying paper sheets back and forth, and a collection mechanism for collecting paper sheets from the conveyance path, and the feeding mechanism includes a receiving plate on which the paper sheets are placed and moved in a biased state toward the feeding side, and a receiving plate that is loaded on the receiving plate. A pair of main feed-out rollers separated from each other on the left and right are driven via a one-way clutch that is installed opposite to the edge of the paper sheet conveyance path and driven in the feed-out direction, and from this main feed-out roller. An auxiliary feeding roller placed inside the edge of the sheet and between both main feeding rollers and facing the paper sheet, and an auxiliary feeding roller placed on both sides of this auxiliary feeding roller and outside of both main feeding rollers. , the sorting shaft is inserted through the left and right guide rollers arranged opposite to the paper sheets, at the outer positions of the edges of the paper sheets placed on the receiving plate, and at the center and both outer positions of both main feeding rollers. fixed to the cylinder shaft,

The collecting mechanism is characterized by being a paper sheet feeding and collecting device having a collection box for collecting and storing paper sheets, and a second sorting plate that guides the paper sheets from the conveyance path to the collection box. do.

(E) Effect of the Invention When the paper sheet feeding and collecting device of the present invention feeds out paper sheets using the feeding mechanism, the paper sheet feeding and collecting device of the present invention collects the paper sheets on the receiving plate at three different positions: the central auxiliary feeding roller and the left and right main feeding rollers. By feeding out from the receiving plate in contact with the leaves, the sheets are fed out from the receiving plate in a parallel state without being tilted, and furthermore, the fed out paper sheets are fed out from the receiving plate in contact with the left and right main feeding rollers, and the center Friction rollers placed on the left and right sides make the paper sheets wavy in the width direction, giving the paper sheets a strong stiffness, and preventing the paper sheets fed parallel in the previous stage from tilting, while also preventing jamming. The paper sheets are fed out even if they have curls, and the fed out paper sheets are sent to the conveying path by the first sorting plate immediately following the friction roller.

Furthermore, when collecting paper sheets using the collection mechanism,
By rotating the second sorting plate into the conveyance path, the second sorting plate guides the collected paper sheets conveyed along the conveyance path to the collection box and collects them.

(F) Effects of the Invention As a result of the above, according to the present invention, even if paper sheets have curls or kinks, the auxiliary feeding roller and the guide rollers on both sides of the paper sheet can prevent the curls or kinks from spreading. Feeding eliminates feeding mistakes, and the friction roller and main feeding roller sandwich the center of the paper sheet to form a wavy shape, creating a strong stiffness, which prevents paper sheets from skewing and jamming. Allows for smooth and good feeding.

Furthermore, even if the drive of the feed roller and the auxiliary feed roller is stopped, the feed roller does not feed out the second sheet once the auxiliary feed roller leaves the fed sheet. Because the directional clutch is installed, even if this feed roller stops with the sheet sandwiched between it and the friction roller, the sheet will be pulled out by the conveying force of the conveying path. As a result, the feed roller rotates freely,
paper sheets can be easily pulled out, thereby ensuring reliable control of two-sheet delivery.

Furthermore, since the sorting shaft is the axis of the friction roller, the paper sheets sandwiched between the feed roller and the friction roller are conveyed along the sorting plate, eliminating the need for extra guides and It can be manufactured compactly and at low cost.

In addition, when collecting paper sheets that have been fed out, the feeding mechanism and the collecting mechanism use the same conveyance path, so the arrangement of the conveyance path and the drive control of the conveyance system can be performed independently, making it easy and simple. By providing the mechanism and the recovery mechanism close to each other on one side of the conveyance path, the entire structure can be made compact.
