Therefore, this sorting section 12 includes a mounting plate 25, a knock-off 7
It can be said that it is composed of a continuous accumulation mechanism consisting of the oak 26 and sorting forks 27 and 28, and a batch conveyance mechanism consisting of the spanning plates 35 and 36, a delivery plate 37, and a drive mechanism 38.

Next, the steps for stacking banknotes in the sorting section 12 and bundling the stacked banknotes in the binding section 13 are shown in FIGS.
This will be explained with reference to FIG.

■ The banknotes sent through the conveyance path M are transferred to the stacking position 23.
After being sent to the table, the top surface of the sheet is hit by a knock-off oak 26, so that the sheets are stacked one by one on the mounting plate 25, which is waiting to be raised to the position shown by the solid line.

■ When 100 banknotes are stacked on the placement plate 25 (based on the timing sensor 24 detecting passage of the rear end of the 100th banknote), the placement plate 25 moves to the position shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. The banknotes descend to the position shown by the two-dot chain line, and these 100 stacked banknotes are transferred to the transfer plates 35 and 36, which have been waiting in advance below the placing plate 25.

In parallel with this, the 101st and subsequent banknotes sent through the conveyance path M are shown in the arrow (c) at the same time as the placement plate 25 is lowered.
, sorting forks 27 and 28 (indicated by two-dot chain lines) rotated in the direction of arrow (d) and arranged in the accumulation position 23, respectively.
Temporarily accumulated on top. In other words, the mounting plate 25 is
3, the feeding and accumulation of banknotes through the conveyance path M2 continues without any timing change.

Here, since the rotations of the section 7 orifices 27 and 28 in the arrow (c) and arrow (d) directions are performed in parallel with the lowering of the placement plate 25, these division 7 orifices 27 and 28 are ri2
7 and 28, and when the mounting plate 25 is lowered, the support surfaces 27C and 28C, which are formed on the lower surfaces of the section 7 oaks 27 and 28, press against the upper surface of the stacked banknotes, and as a result, the stacked state of the banknotes is disturbed by the movement. This is prevented.

In addition, when the division 7 orifices 27 and 28 are rotated and arranged as shown by the two-dot chain line, the support surfaces 27CI280 of these division forks 27 and 28 are in contact with or press the top surface of the stacked banknotes. It is assumed that

moves forward in the direction of the arrow (E). At this time, the delivery plate 3
7 presses the stacked banknotes on the placement plate 25 in the direction of the arrow (E), so the stacked banknotes are moved on the placement plate 25 and the receivers are lowered onto the spanning plates 35 and 36. .

Here, the support surface 27 of the lower surface of the section 7 oak 27 and 28
C.28C is used as a guide when the stacked banknotes move in the direction of the arrow (E).

After this, the spanning plates 35 and 36 of the receiver further move forward in the direction of the arrow (E) with the stacked banknotes placed thereon, and further move to a position close to the clamping plates 14A and 14B of the binding section 13. Then, as shown by the two-dot chain line on the left in FIG.
(path shown) and only the delivery plate 37 moves forward. As a result, the stacked banknotes are partially supported by the clamping plate 14A-14.
When the movable part 40 that supports the spanning plates 35 and 36 and the delivery plate 37 returns from the binding part 13 to the sorting part 12 side, it is guided between the binding parts 13 and 12, and is held by the clamping plates 14A-14B. will be held.

On the other hand, when the stacked banknotes are guided and clamped between the clamping plates 14A and 14B, the stacked banknotes are held between the clamping plates 14A-14B.
It becomes concave upward (convex downward) along the shape of B, but
In order not to interfere with this operation, one of the trays and the spanning plate 35 is retracted downward by the stacked banknotes.

■ In parallel with the above step ■, the banknotes are transferred to the transfer plates 35 and 36, and the empty placing plate 25 is moved upward and placed at the position shown by the solid line in FIG. Ru. In addition,
At this time, the sorting forks 27 and 28 on which the 101st and subsequent stacked banknotes are temporarily stacked are each formed in a comb-like shape as shown in FIG.
5 can be inserted into these sections 7 or 27 and 28 without any problem.

■ The division forks 27 and 28 are in the arrow (c) direction,
d) direction, and these sections 7 or 27
- The banknotes temporarily stacked on the banknote 28 are transferred onto the placement plate 25, and then placed in the standby position shown by the solid line.

At this time, when the sorting forks 27 and 28 rotate, the presence of the mounting plate 25 does not prevent the rotation of the sorting forks 27 and 28 from the same reason as described in (2).

■ Hereinafter, the steps from ■ to ■ are performed continuously to sequentially create banknote bundles.

Next, with reference to FIG. 1 and FIGS. 5 to 8, the discrimination section 2
, the structure for pulling out the front and back sorting section 9, organizing section 12, and binding section 13 to the outside will be explained.

As the slide member 70 returns in the direction of the arrow (E), the rotating member 73 returns in the direction of the arrow (force) and the slide member 74 returns in the direction of the arrow (E). -77 unlocks the first unit 50 and second unit 51, and this operation ends.

Next, referring to the front view of FIG. 6(A) and the main part plan view of FIG. 6(B), when the first unit 50 is removed from the outer frame N, A link mechanism W (second link mechanism) for regulating the movement of the movable body 40 provided with 36 and preventing the stacked banknotes from being sent to the binding section 13.
I will explain about it.

First, in these figures, what is indicated by the reference numeral 80 is the first
This is a pressing rod supported by the unit 50 so as to be movable in a direction perpendicular to the plane of FIG. 6. This pressing rod 80 engages with a suppressing member fixed to the outer frame N of the aircraft body (not shown) in a state where the first unit 50 is completely attached to the outer frame N, as shown in FIG. 6(B). As shown in FIG.
On the other hand, when the first unit 50 is pulled out from the outer frame N, it is biased by the spring 80A and moves in the direction of the arrow (Y).

Hereinafter, the link 8 operated by the pressing rod 80 will be described.
1, 82, and 83 (regulating members) will be explained.

The link 81 is rotatably supported by a fixed shaft 81A fixed to the first unit main body 50', and one end 81B of the link 81 is pressed by the pressing rod 80.
Further, the other end portion is rotatably connected to the link 82 via a pin 84.

The link 83 is composed of a link 83A and a link 83B that are provided so that they always maintain the same angle, and is rotatable around a fixed shaft 83C fixed to the first unit main body 50'. One end of this link 83 is connected to the link 8 through a pin 85.
2, and in the recess 83E formed at the tip of the other end 83D, the above-mentioned bridge is connected to the transfer member 35.
- The retaining piece 40A of the movable body 40, which is integral with the movable body 36, is adapted to be engaged and disengaged.

In the link mechanism W configured as described above, with the first unit 50 attached to the outer frame N, the press rod 80 presses one end of the link 81 from the direction of the arrow (arrow). The links 82 and 83 are arranged as shown by the solid lines in FIG. The stacked banknotes can be received and delivered to 13.

Further, the first unit 50 is pulled out from the outer frame N,
When the press rod 80 moves in the direction of the arrow (Y), the links 81, 82, and 83 move in the direction of the arrow (S), (N), and (), respectively.
The tip of the other end 83D of the link 83 protrudes into the moving path of the movable body 40, which is integrated with the transfer members 35 and 36, thereby causing the movable body 40 to move in the arrow (H) direction. Movement in this direction is restricted, and transfer of the accumulated amount of banknotes to the bundling section 13 is prohibited.

The links 81, 82, and 83 are moved in the directions of the arrows (shi), (n), and (tsu) by the biasing force of a spring (not shown).

In addition, in FIG. 6(A), reference numeral 86 indicates an openable/closable stacker for easily taking out the stacked bills to the outside when fractional bills less than 100 are stacked on the sorting forks 27 and 28. The section window, indicated by the code 87, is
The bridge is a motor manual pulley for manually operating a movable body 40 provided with spanning plates 35 and 36.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8, the first unit 5
The casters 90 that are disposed on the lower surface of the device 0 to easily move the first unit 50 will be described.

Note that the casters 90 are arranged on the front side of the first unit 50, and when the first unit 50 is pulled out from the outer frame N and loses the support (balance) by the slide rails 50A to 50D, These slide rails 5
It supports the first unit 50 together with 0A to 5QD.

To explain the structure of the caster 90, as shown in FIG. A roller support member 94 is provided rotatably around a roller support member 92 and has a roller 93 on its lower surface that is in contact with the floor surface. an auxiliary roller 96 for folding; provided on the base 91;
A regulating member 97 regulates the rotation of the roller support member 94 and holds the roller 93 in a position where it contacts the floor surface.

FIG. 8 shows a caster storage structure 98 for storing the casters 90 within the outer frame N.

This caster storage structure 98 includes a guide plate 99 that is provided on the outer frame N and guides the auxiliary roller 93 to rotate the roller support member 94 in the direction of arrow (N), and a guide plate 99 that is also provided on the outer frame N. , and a mounting plate 100 for holding and mounting the roller 93 in a state rotated in the direction of arrow (N).

According to the casters 90 and caster storage structure 98 as described above, when the first unit 50 is pulled out in the direction of arrow (U) from the state shown in FIG. 93 falls from the mounting plate 100, and the roller support member 94 moves along with the roller 93 in the direction of the arrow (
direction).

As a result, the rollers 93 come into contact with the floor, as shown in FIG. 7, and the first unit 50 can be smoothly pulled out from the outer frame N.

In addition, when storing the first unit 50 in the outer frame N (storing is done by a worker), the first unit 50 is pushed in the direction of the arrow (m) to be integrated with the roller support member 94. The auxiliary roller 96 is guided by the guide plate 99, and as a result, the roller support member 94 rotates in the direction of the arrow (N) as shown in FIG. The casters 90 are placed on the placing plate 10G, and the storage operation of the casters 90 is completed.

Although the casters 90 are arranged in the first unit 50, they may be arranged in the second unit 51.
The number of 0s is not limited. Furthermore, when the load of the first unit 50 is applied to the caster 90, the caster 90 is reliably placed in the seventh
It is preferable to always be biased to rotate in the direction of the arrow (S) by a spring (not shown) so that the state shown in the figure is achieved.

As explained above, in the paper sheet sorting machine shown in this embodiment, (1) the first unit 50 and the second unit 51 can each be pulled out from the outer frame N; Only the second unit 50 in which the sealing member 13 is disposed can be pulled out from the outer frame N, and the binding portion 13 can be handled independently, thereby making it possible to easily adjust the stamping body 18.

(2) When transporting banknotes in bulk from the sorting section 12 of the first unit 50 to the bundling section 13 of the second unit 51, as shown in FIG. Hole 50 in main body 50' and second unit main body 51'
Since both the first unit 50 and the second unit 51 cannot be pulled out from the outer frame N after being inserted into the banknote 51a, the banknotes can be safely and reliably attached to the binding part 13 without damaging the banknotes. Banknotes can be transported.

(3) When the first unit 50 is pulled out from the outer frame N, the tip 83D of the link 83 protrudes into the moving path of the movable body 40, and the receiver is Since the movement of the spanning plates 35 and 36 is restricted, during this period, the movable body 40 is prohibited from receiving and passing the accumulated banknotes from the sorting section 12 to the bundling section 13, and in this respect as well, the accumulated banknotes are protected. As a result, the banknotes can be handled safely and reliably.

"Effects of the Invention" (1) According to the first invention, the first unit and the second unit are each removable from the aircraft body, and the first unit includes a discrimination section and a front and back side arrangement. Since the binding section and the organizing section are arranged respectively, and the binding section is located in the second unit, the binding section can be handled independently by pulling out the second unit from the machine, and this allows for easy handling of the stamped material. Adjustments can be made easily,
The effect is that the work efficiency is improved.

(2) According to the second invention, when conveying paper sheets from the organizing section of the first unit to the bundling section of the second unit by the batch conveying mechanism, the unit locking member is the first, The second unit is held in a locked state, and the eleventh second unit is held in a locked state.
units are fixed to the fuselage, which allows these first
1. Pulling out the second unit is prohibited. In other words, the 11th and 2nd units are not pulled out from the machine while the accumulated paper sheets are being transported from the sorting section to the bundling section, and as a result, the paper sheet transport work is protected. The effect is that the paper sheets can be transported safely and reliably without being damaged.

In other words, even if all operations of the machine stop due to trouble while the batch transfer mechanism is moving, there is a risk that the first unit or the second unit will be pulled out by the operator. This prevents damage to the batch conveyance mechanism.

(3) According to the third invention, when the first unit is pulled out from the machine body, the movement of the batch transport mechanism is regulated by the regulating member, so during this period, the batch transport mechanism is not allowed to move from the sorting section to the bundling section. It is prohibited to receive and hand over accumulated paper sheets. In other words, while the first unit is being pulled out from the machine, transport of the accumulated paper sheets from the sorting section to the bundling section is prohibited, and as a result, the paper sheets are protected and The effect is that it can be handled safely and reliably.

In other words, it is possible to prevent the operator from accidentally moving the batch transfer mechanism toward the bundling part while the first unit is being pulled out from the machine, and to prevent the operator from accidentally moving the batch transfer mechanism toward the bundling part when storing the first unit in the machine. This makes it possible to prevent the batch transport mechanism from colliding with the frame and causing damage.
