Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate such a fear of biting an improper bill and conveying it through mistake by making a first rotary piece contact with a conveyor belt by means of a normal bill signal out of a bill recognizer, while installing a second rotary piece in a spot where a bill, before detection by the bill recognizer is completed, is unreached. CONSTITUTION:When a bill is false, a bill recognizer 8 rotates in reverse, feeding this bill back. In this case, at a point of time when detection of the bill is completed, at least a lower end of the bill is reached to a first rotary piece 5a, but this first rotary piece 5a is in a state of being separated from a conveyor belt 2. In addition, since a second rotary piece 5b is installed in a spot where the bill is unreached, such a possibility that the bill might be bitten out, conveyed by mistake and be a hindrance to feedback of the bill is brought to nothing.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a bill conveyance device that is assembled into a fare storage device installed in a one-person bus or the like.

[Conventional technology]

What is the fare storage device installed in one-person buses, etc.?

Generally, it has the function of handling two banknotes in addition to the function of handling coins and tickets. This function works by inserting three banknotes into the insertion slot, and the banknote recognition device first detects whether the banknotes are normal or not. If one banknote is fraudulent, the one banknote recognition device automatically rotates in reverse. If the 0 banknote that is used to send back the fraudulent banknote is normal, it is sent as is to the next banknote conveyance device, further conveyed by that banknote conveyance device, and wound up by the banknote winding device inside the safe. This is how it works.

This conventional banknote conveyance device conveys a banknote sent from a yen recognition device while being held between a conveyor belt and a fixedly assembled rotary piece.

At the time when the detection of the inserted banknote is completed.

The lower end of the bill is already being held between the first rotating piece and the conveyor belt. Therefore.

In conventional banknote conveyance devices, when a 1 yen banknote is detected to be fraudulent, the conveyance belt is rotated in the opposite direction to send back the held fraudulent banknote. .

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In such conventional banknote conveying devices, it is necessary to rotate the conveying belt in both forward and reverse directions.

For reasons such as eliminating deflection of the conveyor belt, dedicated drive rollers and drive sources for the forward and reverse directions for driving the conveyor belt, as well as many associated mechanisms, have been required.

Therefore, the device becomes expensive and has a complicated structure.
It was extremely uneconomical as inspection and repair required a great deal of effort.

The present invention was devised in view of these problems, and aims to provide a banknote conveyance device that is highly efficient and economically efficient with few breakdowns by eliminating structural waste in conventional banknote conveyance devices. This is a technical issue.

[Means to solve the problem]

As a means for that purpose, a conventional endless conveyor belt)2. ?
! In a banknote conveying device l whose main components include several rollers 3 and a plurality of rotating pieces 5, two of the plurality of rotating pieces 5 are the first rotating pieces 5a, which are the rotating pieces 5 closest to the Japanese currency recognition device 8.
is brought into contact with the conveyor belt 2 by a normal banknote detection signal from the yen recognition device 8, and separated from the conveyor belt 2 by a conveyance completion signal from the downstream side in the conveyance direction.

Also, the second rotating piece 5b located next to the first rotating piece 5a is 5
The bill 9 being detected by the money recognition device 8 was installed at a location that cannot be reached.

[Effect]

The operation of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

First, one yen banknote 9 is inserted through the insertion slot and reaches the banknote recognition device 8. Here, it is detected whether the inserted banknote 9 is a normal one and not a counterfeit one.

If the bill 9 is fraudulent, the 9 yen recognition device 8 rotates in the opposite direction and sends the bill 9 back. In this case, at the time when the detection of the banknote 9 is completed, at least the lower end of the banknote 9 has reached the first rotating piece 5a, but the first rotating piece 5a is in a state separated from the conveyor belt 2 and .

Since the second rotary piece 5b is provided at a location where the banknotes 9 cannot reach, one yen banknote 9 is not bitten and erroneously conveyed, and one yen banknote 9 will not be disturbed in sending back the one yen banknote 9.

If the banknote 9 is normal, a normal banknote detection signal indicating this is emitted, and this signal causes the first rotating piece 5 to
a comes into contact with the conveyor belt 2 and is rotated by the conveying force of the conveyor belt 2. In this state, at least the lower end of the second yen 9 has reached the first rotating piece 5a, so
- The first rotating piece 5a is held between the conveyor belt 2 supported by the first roller 3a and conveyed in the conveyance direction.

When the conveyance is completed, the first rotary piece 5a separates from the conveyor belt 2 and forms a gap with the conveyor belt 2 in response to a conveyance completion signal issued from the downstream side. by this,
I accidentally bit off the newly inserted fraudulent banknote 9, and
I never end up sending an i-mail.
