Abstract

PURPOSE:To form thickness in an accumulative direction into a thin type by making a guide plate reciprocatively shiftable in the opposite direction to paper sheets accumulated and housed from a stand-by position of the paper sheets, and constituting it so as to be led onto a receiving plate or the paper sheets on this receiving plate with the reciprocating movement. CONSTITUTION:When a bill 3 is led onto a guide plate 15 installed in a storage standby position by a conveyor belt 2, the guide plate 15 is moved in the opposite direction to a bill bundle 3A via the conveyor belt 2 in leaving the bill biased to this bill bundle 3A intact, and each edge at both sides of the bill 3 is pulled out of the guide plate via an opening. Afterward, the guide plate 15 is restored to the original storage standby position whereby the bill bundle 3A is held between the guide plate 15 and a receiving plate 7. Consequently, there is unnecessary to reciprocate a pusher, and since storage action is carried out only by a stroke of reciprocation of the guide plate 15, the storage direction depth of a stacker can be set as thin as a portion for that.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a paper sheet storage device, and particularly to a paper sheet storage device that is installed in a banknote validating machine (hereinafter referred to as bill validator) such as a vending machine. It relates to storage devices (referred to below as stackers).

(Prior Art) An example of a conventional stacker of this type is shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 3B. This example uses a system in which banknotes led from Bill Paris after identification are stored in the stacker section by the reciprocating movement of the pusher. In these figures, 1 is the receiving opening for the banknotes that fall into the stacker, and 2 is the receiving port. A conveyance helper 1-14 that guides banknotes 3 introduced from the opening 1 to a storage standby position is a stacker forming a storage box as shown in FIG. 7 is a receiving plate for holding the stored banknote east longitude in the stacker part 6; 8 is a receiving plate for biasing the receiving plate 7 toward the guide frame 5, and a space between the guide frame 5 and the receiving plate 7; This is a coil spring for holding the banknote East 3Δ in a stacked state.

In the stacker configured in this way, when the banknotes 3 that have been identified are guided from the receiving port 1 onto the guide frame 5 by the transport healds 1 and 2, the drive of the transport heald 2 is stopped, and then The pusher 4 is driven in the direction of the arrow as shown in FIG. 4 to push the banknotes 3 into the banknote bundle 3A1 of the stacker section 6, and then the pusher 4 is pulled back to its original position. Also,
After the pusher 4 is returned to the position shown in FIG. 3B, the stored banknote 3 is stacked on the banknote east longitude, and is held between the guide frame 5 and the receiving plate 7 by the spring force of the spring 8. is maintained in the same state.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, in such a conventional stacker, since the pusher is used to push the banknotes held on the guide frame into the stacker section, the pusher 4 itself occupies less space. In addition to the thickness, the stroke of the pusher 4 is, as shown in FIG. 4, a stroke S1 that removes the thickness of the guide frame 5 from the standby position of the pusher 4 shown in FIG. The strokes I to S2 required to introduce the ears 3B on both sides to the stacker section 6 side are required.

By the way, a stacker with such a stacker is generally built into the door side of a vending machine, etc., and is designed as a panel to attract customers, and also to accommodate the contents of the merchandise. It is desirable that it be thin from the point of view of increasing the capacity, and as mentioned above, it is desirable to have a low profile and the stroke required for the bushing (Sl + S2
), which was a factor that hindered the thinning of the device.

The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problem, and to solve the problem, it is not necessary to maintain a deep depth in the direction of storing banknotes for storage operation, and to form a thin sheet without deflecting. Specifically, it is an object of the present invention to provide a paper sheet storage device suitable for a banknote validating machine mounted on a power bank.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve such an object, the present invention includes a guide plate that guides the tabs at both ends of the paper sheet along the conveying direction and has an opening in the center, and guides the paper sheet from the frontage. In a paper sheet storage device that allows paper sheets to be guided in a vertical direction and stored cumulatively between a guide plate and a receiving plate, the guide plate moves from a standby position to hold paper sheets in a stopped state. It can be moved back and forth in the opposite direction to the accumulated paper sheets,
The reciprocating movement of the guide plate guides the paper sheets onto the receiving plate or onto the cumulatively stored paper sheets on the receiving plate.

[For production]

According to the present invention, when the paper sheets are guided by the conveying means onto the guide plate provided at the storage standby position, the guide plate is moved while the paper sheets are biased over the accumulated paper sheets via the belt. 8 in the opposite direction to the accumulated paper sheets, and then pull out the ears on both sides of the paper sheets from the guide plate through the opening, and then return the guide plate to its original storage standby position. By this, the accumulated paper sheets can be held between the guide plate and the receiving plate, and there is no need to reciprocate the pusher, and the storage operation can be performed at the same time as the reciprocating movement of the guide plate. Therefore, the depth of the stacker in the storage direction can be set relatively thin.

(Example) Examples of the present invention will be described below in detail and specifically based on the drawings.

Figures 18 to 1D show an embodiment of the present invention. Here, 15 is a guide plate having an opening 16 in the center.
The banknote bundle 38 is held between the guide plate 15 and the receiving plate 7 by the spring force of the spring 8 as shown in FIG. I and FIG. 1C. 17 is a reading plate attached to both sides of the guide plate 15 and has a long hole 17A as shown in FIG. The rotating frame 21 is a guide plate support shaft which is taken up by the rotating frame 18 and slidably fitted into the elongated hole 17△ provided in the above-mentioned reading board 17. Rotating frame 18 and support! I! 1l121 and 'fJIC
It is held movably in the direction of arrow Q.

Further, the guide plate 15 has a bent flange portion 22 at its lower end, and the flange portion 22 is provided with elongated holes 228 and 22[1 as shown in FIG. 1D.

23 is a drive motor for reciprocating the guide plate 15 in the direction of arrow Q as will be described later, and 34 is a gear box in which a gear train (not shown) for transmitting the power of the motor 23 to the gear 24 is stored. From the frame 25 that supports the gear box 34 in a fixed position are the bins 25 and 8,
The gear 24 has pins 248 projecting from each other as shown in FIG. 1D, and these pins 258 and 248 are slidably fitted into the elongated holes 228 and 22B.

On the other hand, the conveyor heald 2 is driven by a heald drive motor 26, or in this example, a pressure pulley 2 is connected to its belt drive system.
7 are disposed one above the other, and each of these pressure pulleys 27 biases the heald 2 upward toward the banknote bundle 3 by the spring force F of the spring 28. Here, in a state where the banknote bundle 38 is held between the guide plate 15 and the receiving plate 7 as shown in FIGS. 1B and 1C, the spring force of the coil spring 8 for supporting the receiving plate is applied. F. 2FP when closed

Adjust as you like.

Therefore, the spring force of the spring 28 is overcome and the banknote bundle 38 is prevented from being separated from the lower surface of the guide plate 15.
Further, when the banknote 3 is held by the heald 2 and carried onto the guide plate 15 by the spring force of the spring 28, an appropriate frictional force is maintained between the banknote 3 and the belt 2, and the banknote 3 Appropriate slippage can be obtained between the banknote bundle 3A and the banknote bundle 3A.

Next, the storage operation of the paper sheet storage device configured as described above will be explained with reference to FIG. 2.

When banknotes are inserted through a billboard insertion slot (not shown), they are identified, and banknotes 3 that are determined to be valid are led to a stacker. In this way, the banknotes 3 are guided from the receiving port 1 onto the guide plate 15 as shown in (8) in FIG. It is kept separated from the banknote bundle 3A by the guide plate 15.

Meanwhile, since the banknote 3 is maintained in a U-shaped curved state in the width direction as described above, it is sufficiently stiff in the transport direction, and therefore maintains a firm transport posture. can. When it is guided to the predetermined storage standby position, the conveyance is stopped, and then the motor 23 is driven and the gear 24 rotates in the direction shown by the arrow in FIG. 15 is moved in the R direction as shown in FIG. 2 (If) against the force of the spring 28.

By this operation, the ear portion 3B of the banknote 3 is moved to the guide plate 15.
The ear portion 3B is released from the guide plate 15 when the guide plate 15 moves to the state shown in FIG. 2(C). In addition, at this time, the ear part 3B of the banknote 3 is restored to a flat position due to the stiffness of the paper itself.

In this way, when the guide plate 15 is moved to the top dead center via the gear 24 (see FIG. 1D), the next gear 24 is moved.
Due to the rotational movement of the guide plate 15, the guide plate 15 returns to the standby position as shown in FIG. biased and held in an accumulated state.

In addition, in the embodiments described above, the case of a bill storage device installed in a vending machine together with a bill validator has been described, but the application of the present invention is not limited to this, and the application of the present invention is not limited to this. Needless to say, the present invention can be widely applied to general storage devices capable of storing paper sheets such as paper sheets in an accumulated state.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the guide plate can be reciprocated from the standby position in the direction opposite to the cumulatively stored filter paper sheets, and the filter paper sheets are held at the standby position by the reciprocating movement of the guide plate. Since the paper sheets are guided onto the receiving plate or onto the paper sheets to be accumulated, the stroke for the storage operation is shorter than that of a conventional storage device with a pusher, and the accumulation direction of the entire group of accumulated sheets is reduced. It is an object of the present invention to provide a paper sheet storage device δ suitable for automatic vending machines and the like by reducing the thickness of the paper sheet storage device δ.
