Abstract

PURPOSE:To collect, pile up and store even the sheets which tend to warp in a downstream direction completely by arranging a guide member which is supported so that it can move against a press member and guides sheets to collect and pile them up. CONSTITUTION:When sheets 1 are fed into a storing portion 10a one by one, for example, the sheets 1 are taken in an arrow direction through a receiving slit 75a and are made to slide on a curved surface 121 at the lower end portion of a guide member 12a to guide them in the upstream direction. At this time, each of the sheets 1 is forcibly bent into an approximate W-shape by an impeller 8a and rollers 71a, 72a to take a firm stand for each of the next processing. Next, the sheets 1 are taken in a pile-up sheet case 13a temporarily one by one. When a given number of sheets are stored in the sheet pile-up case 13a, the above taking-in operation stops, and a shutter 14a opens horizontally to drop the sheets 1 which are piled up in the sheet pile-up case 13a on a receiving plate 15a in a storage case 16a. Then a press plate 11a is lowered downwards, so that the sheets 1 are put between the receiving plate 15a and a press plate 11a to make them come in contact with each other. The guide member 12a are retracted upwards, thus providing closer contact.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention is directed to a paper sheet system in which accumulated paper sheets such as banknotes are re-assembled and stored by type of paper sheet. It relates to a processing device.

(Prior art) A paper sheet in which paper sheets (bank notes) in which -10,000 yen bills, 5,000 yen bills, etc. have been accumulated in a mixed state are automatically re-assembled and stored according to their types in banks, etc. An example of a processing device is shown in FIG.

The paper sheets 1 placed on the mounting table 2 are taken in one by one by the take-in section 3, and after the type of the paper sheets 1 is identified by the identification section 4, it is controlled by the control section 9 and the photosensor 6 takes in the paper sheets 1 one by one. The number of sheets is counted for each type. Next, the paper sheets 1 pass through receiving roller sections 7a, 7b, and 7c corresponding to the type of paper sheets 1, and are re-stacked and pressed in the respective storage sections 10a, 1ob, and 10c. Storage parts 10a, 10b.

The paper sheets 1 guided to 10G are stored in - time storage 13a, 1
3b and 13c. At this time, the paper sheets 1 are knocked downward by the rotation of the separate wheels 8a, ab, and 8c so that they are stacked in a horizontal state.

Then, the pressing plates 11a, 11b, 11c and the receiving plate 15a,
15b and 15c form a temporary storage warehouse 13a.

After pressing the paper sheets 1 accumulated in 13b and 13c in the stacking direction to increase the degree of adhesion between the paper sheets 1,
It is stored in 6b and 16c.

By the way, some of the paper sheets 1 have a tendency to curl. Such paper sheets 1 are transported to the receiving roller section 7a,
After passing through 7b and 7c - time accumulation warehouses 13a, 13b, 1
The impellers 8a and 8b float up at the top of the impeller 3c.
, 3c, this paper sheet 1 cannot be knocked off.

Then, a phenomenon occurs in which the next paper sheet 1 hits this paper sheet 1 and cannot be properly stacked downward.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) As mentioned above, if there are paper sheets that have a tendency to curl, the paper sheets cannot be beaten downward by the impeller, and the paper sheets cannot be stacked smoothly. There was a problem that the accumulation condition deteriorated.

For this reason, the pressing plate presses the paper sheets while they are in a poor stacked state, so there is a problem in that the paper sheets cannot be pressed with their peripheries aligned.

An object of the present invention is to provide a paper sheet processing device that can reliably stack and store even curled and curled paper sheets downward.

[Configuration of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) The configuration of the present invention provides a paper sheet processing device that takes in and stacks paper sheets and then presses them with a pressing member and stores them in a storage section. The object is to have a guide member that is movably supported with respect to the member and that guides and accumulates paper sheets.

(Function) Paper sheets are kited one by one by the kite member and enter the storage section. When a predetermined number of paper sheets are accumulated in the storage section, the pressing member descends to press the paper sheets and increase the degree of adhesion between the paper sheets. Even if curled paper sheets enter the storage section, they are guided by the guide member, so that they can be reliably accumulated downward and stored.

It is regulated to prevent it from coming off the top.

Next, the effect will be explained.

As shown in FIG. 1, when paper sheets 1 are placed in a mixed state on a mounting table 2 and an operation switch (not shown) is pressed, the paper sheets 1 are taken in one by one by the taking-in section 3. Next, the taken-in paper sheet 1 passes through a conveyance path 5, and the type of paper sheet 1 is identified by an identification section 4. Then, the sensors 7f1 to 6 are controlled by the control section 9 to reduce the number of sheets 1 for each type. The paper sheets 1 are sorted into transport paths 5a, 5b, and 5c by gates that are opened and closed by solenoids (not shown) corresponding to the respective types, controlled by the control section 9, and stored in respective storage sections 10a, 10b.

Sent to 10G.

Next, as shown in FIG.
The lower end of the guide member 12a is taken in in the direction of the arrow from the receiving hole 75a between the roller 71a and the roller 72a provided below the pressing plate 1'la located at the uppermost position on the side of a. It is rubbed against the curved surface 121 of and guided downward.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 6 (a side view of the main part in FIG. 2), the paper sheets 1 are moved by a separate wheel 8a arranged in the center and rollers 71a and 72a arranged at both ends. Although the sheet 1 is forcibly bent into a substantially W-shape to give it some stiffness and facilitate post-processing, the curled sheet 1 is still not completely corrected.

Subsequently, when the paper sheets 1 are taken into the temporary storage 13a one by one, the paper sheets 1 are accumulated on the shutter 148 as shown in FIG. 7(a). The press plate 11a is located at the top. When a predetermined number of sheets are accumulated in the temporary accumulation storage 13a, the rotational driving force is transmitted by the gear 73a, and the rotation of the rollers 71a, 72a and the separate wheel 8a, which were rotating in the arrow direction shown in FIG. 2, is stopped and the temporary accumulation is completed. The intake into the warehouse 13a is stopped.

Then, the paper sheets 1 accumulated in the -time accumulation storage 13a are stored in the seventh
As shown in Figure (b), the shutter 14a opens left and right and drops onto the receiving plate 15a arranged in the storage 16a.

In this state, the paper sheets 1 still have traces of being bent by the rollers 71a and 72a, and the paper sheets 1 are lightly stacked together.

Next, as shown in FIG. 7(C), the lever support plate 26 (see FIG. 3) is lowered downward by the vertical movement mechanism (not shown), and the paper sheets 1 are pressed in the stacking direction. Ru. The receiving plate 1.5a is supported by a ratchet mechanism (not shown) and cannot be moved upward unless the ratchet lever is released.Furthermore, the receiving plate 15a is supported by a spring (not shown) to resist the force of pushing upward. is recieving. Therefore, the receiving plate 15a does not move downward unless it receives a load of a predetermined value or more. As a result, the paper sheets 1 are sandwiched between the receiving plate 15a and the pressing plate 11a and receive an optimal load, thereby increasing the degree of adhesion between the paper sheets 1. Also, at this time, the aforementioned rollers 71a and 72a.

The bending marks caused by the other car 8a disappear. By the way, in order to increase the degree of adhesion of the paper sheets 1, it is effective to press the paper sheets 1 as a whole. Therefore, the guide member 12a is
), it is evacuated upward.

Next, as shown in FIG. 7(d), the pressing plate 11a is retracted to the uppermost position and the shutter 148 is moved to the 9 position and closed.

Since one embodiment of the present invention is configured as described above,
It has the following effects.

(a) Guide member 12 for paper sheets 1 that have a tendency to curl
The paper sheet 1 is reliably guided downward by a, 12b, and 12c.

(b) Since the lower ends of the guide members 12a, 12b, and 12G have curved surfaces, they can guide the paper sheet 1 downward without damaging it.

(C) Since the impellers 8a, 8b, and 3C are provided near the receiving hole 75a, the sheets 1 can be reliably fed downward by the rotation of the separate wheels 8a, 8b, and 8c.

(C) - Since the paper sheets 1 are stacked in the stacking storage 13a in a good condition, the paper sheets 1 can be pressed with their peripheries aligned.

(d) Pressing plates 11a, 11b, IIG (7) Guide members 12a, 12b are driven by leaf springs 23a at the top.

This guide member 12 is holding down 12C.
a, 12b, and 12c can be maintained at optimal positions.

Although one embodiment has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications can be made without changing the gist thereof.

For example, although the guide members 12a, 12b, and 12G are positionally regulated by the support member 17a, separate regulating members may be provided.

Furthermore, the - time storages 13a, 13b, 13c and storages 16a, 16b, 16c have cutouts 19a.

Although it is formed by providing a plate having 21a around the periphery, rod-shaped members may be arranged at regular intervals without providing any notches.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide an apparatus in which even curled and curly paper sheets can be guided by the guide member and reliably accumulated downward for storage.
