CONSTITUTION:The paper pieces which are fed in from a transporting machine H are transferred normally in double row to the lower part of a paper piece guiding member 18 by the action of a contactor 19, and discharged downward by the top edge part 19a of the contactor 19 which slidingly rubs the surface of the guide member 18. When the contactor 19 turns rightward, the top edge part 19a makes contact with the paper piece only in the phase of the guide member 18, since the axis line K of the contactor 19 is inclined by an angle thetato the upstream side, and a paper piece M1 which is inserted in the direction A is put into a longitudinally long attitude as shown by M2 by the min. revolution quantity.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention "Field of Industrial Application" The present invention is provided facing the end of a conveyor that transports paper pieces in a horizontally elongated position, and that organizes the paper pieces fed from the conveyor. The present invention relates to a device for transporting and organizing paper pieces that is dropped by a user, and is used, for example, to collect banknotes and the like.

``Prior Art'' In a conventional paper conveyance and arrangement device, the contactor 1 is attached to a shaft 2 perpendicular to the traveling direction A of one paper piece, as shown in FIG.

"Problem to be Solved by the Invention" However, if the contactor 1 is provided perpendicularly to the traveling direction A of the piece of paper, the tip of the contactor 1 will face the piece of paper M downward at point a in FIG. However, on the contrary, the dot acts to flip the piece of paper M upwards, making a complicated movement on the piece of paper M, and making the piece of paper M that was fed in a horizontally long form 9 turn vertically and downward. There has been a problem in that the original purpose of the device for ejecting water cannot be fully fulfilled.

The present invention has been made by focusing on the problems in the conventional technology, and provides a paper piece conveying and organizing device that can easily and reliably turn paper pieces sent in a horizontally elongated state into a vertically elongated one and drop them downward. The purpose is to

``Means for Solving the Problems'' The gist of the present invention for achieving the above object is to provide a device that is installed facing the end of a conveying machine that transports pieces of paper in a horizontally elongated position, and that In a paper strip conveying and organizing device that organizes and falls paper strips, a low-friction paper guide member is arranged near the end of the conveyor from which the paper strips are fed out and parallel to the traveling direction of the paper strips, and in a horizontal plane. It is formed in a spiral shape on an axis that is inclined upstream of an axis perpendicular to the paper traveling direction and passes upstream of the paper guide member, and the tip of the spiral scrapes the surface of the paper guide member. However, there is provided a paper piece conveying and organizing device characterized in that a contactor is provided which is rotatably driven so as to separate the paper pieces from the end of the conveyor and eject them downward.

``Operation'' From the paper input terminal, paper pieces are sent in a horizontally long manner by a conveyor, and reach the receiving opening of the paper piece conveyance and arrangement device.

The pieces of paper, which are usually fed in a plurality of rows, are fed by a spiral contactor toward the paper piece guide member and advance in contact with the surface of the member.

The contactor is formed in a spiral shape in a horizontal plane on an axis that is inclined upstream of an axis perpendicular to the paper traveling direction and passes upstream of the paper guide member, and the tip of the spiral is Since the tip of the contactor is designed to rub against the surface of the paper guide member, the tip of the contactor pushes the incoming paper piece beyond the plane containing the surface of the paper guide member before it reaches the paper guide member. In addition, after the leading edge of the paper reaches the paper guide member, it does not contact the rear of the paper and flip upward, and the paper is reliably held vertically without forcing the paper to undergo complicated and unreasonable movements. Release downward.

"Example" Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the paper piece conveying and organizing device IO includes a collecting and discharging unit 15 for paper pieces sent from a paper piece generation terminal (not shown) by a conveyor H as shown in FIG. 4, and a conveyor belt for sending paper pieces. It consists of a conveyance section 30 and a separation section 40 that separates paper pieces into single sheets.

The collecting and dispensing unit 15 has a receiving opening 16 for receiving paper pieces from the end E of the conveyor H that has conveyed the paper pieces from each terminal as shown in FIG. A section cover 17 is provided.

The entire width of the dispensing section cover 17 is made narrow enough so that the curls and folds of the paper pieces that are fed in will not be reversed.

As shown in FIG. 2, a paper piece guide member 18 for guiding the paper pieces is provided on one surface of the dispensing section cover 17 parallel to the traveling direction A of the paper pieces.

On the other hand, from the wall surface opposite to the paper piece guide member 18,
A contact 19 for brushing off pieces of paper is provided in a protruding manner.

The contactor 19 is driven by a drive motor 20, and is mounted on its axis in a horizontal plane at an angle θ upstream from a direction perpendicular to the traveling direction A of the paper piece.

Note that a point P where the axis K passes through the wall surface on the paper guide member 18 side is located on the upstream side of the paper guide member 18 as shown. In other words, as shown in Figure 3,
The tip end 19a of the contactor 19 comes into contact with the paper guide member 18 when the tip 19a is in the phase of brushing off the paper.

As shown in FIG.
It consists of conveyor belts 33, 34, 35, etc. stretched around these pulleys 31, 32, and is driven by receiving power from a drive means not shown, and conveys the piece of paper to the right in FIG. ing.

Note that a support roller 36 facing a separation roller 41 to be described later
is installed.

In the middle of the conveyor belt 35, there is a first sensor 37 and a second sensor 37 for counting the separated paper pieces.
The sensors 37 are arranged at intervals.

The above-mentioned interval is slightly larger than the length of a piece of paper and smaller than two pieces of paper.

On the other hand, a gear 45 is coaxially attached to the drive roller 42 of the separating section 40.
This gear 45 meshes with a gear 46 that transmits rotational force in one direction by a drive means not shown.

A small predetermined gap g is provided between the separation roller 41 and the drive roller 42, and this predetermined gap g is set to a value larger than the thickness of one sheet of paper and smaller than the thickness of two pieces of paper. .

The shaft hole 41a of the separation roller 41 is an elongated hole, and swings about the support shaft 47 between the predetermined gap g so as to come into contact with either the conveyor belt 46 or the drive roller 42.

An adjusting cam 50 is provided as an adjusting means for adjusting the predetermined gap g.

The adjusting cam 50 swings around a cam shaft 51, and the cam surface 50
a is configured to come in contact with the contact surface 44a of the support arm 44 and be pushed down. One of the support arms 44 is biased upward in FIG. A machine screw 52 is provided.

As shown in FIG. 1, the adjustment cam 50 is provided with a scale 50b that indicates the amount of adjustment.

Next, the action will be explained.

The pieces of paper sent from the conveyor H are usually arranged in double rows.

However, due to the action of the contactor 19, one piece of paper is transferred toward the paper piece guide member 18, and is ejected downward by the tip end 19a of the contactor 19 that rubs against the surface of the paper piece guide member 18.

In the above operation, when the contact 19 rotates clockwise as shown in FIG. 3, the axis of the contact 19 is inclined upstream by an angle of 0 as shown in FIG. 2, so as shown in FIG. The tip portion 19a contacts the paper piece only in the phase of the paper piece guide member 1B, and the paper piece M.

An object inserted in direction A as shown in FIG. If the above-mentioned slope was not provided and was forced perpendicular to the direction of travel A, the third
The tip 19a of the contactor 19 contacts the piece of paper not only at point a in the figure, but also at point b, and at point b, the piece of paper is flipped upward, causing the piece of paper to turn around like M3, making the piece of paper useless. By slamming it against a wall, it can also be used to revive curls and creases.

In the separating section 40, the drive roller 42 is coupled to a drive means (not shown) and has a gear 45 that meshes with a gear 46 that rotates in one direction.
The shaft is coaxial with the shaft, and is constantly rotating clockwise in FIG.

Therefore, when one piece of paper is inserted under the separation roller 41, the roller 41 is lifted by one piece of paper, but the predetermined gap g between the separation roller 41 and the drive roller 42 is one piece of paper. Since the rollers 41 and 42 do not come into contact with each other, the piece of paper is conveyed downstream by the conveyor belt 46.

If two or more pieces of paper are inserted, since the predetermined gap g is smaller than two pieces of paper, the separation roller 41 comes into contact with the drive roller 42 and rotates clockwise in the figure. Then, the upper piece of paper that is in contact with this separation roller 41 is pushed back upstream, and the first piece of paper that is in contact with the conveyor belt 46 is pushed back upstream.
Only paper is transported downstream.

The separated pieces of paper are sent to a first sensor 3 installed on the conveyance path.
7 and the second sensor 37, the numbers are counted while determining double feeding.

"Effects of the Invention" According to the paper piece conveying and organizing device according to the present invention, a low-friction paper guide member is disposed parallel to the traveling direction of one paper piece, and in a horizontal plane, upstream of an axis perpendicular to the paper piece traveling direction. A spiral contact is disposed on an axis that is inclined to the side and passes upstream of the paper guide member, and the tip of the spiral is rubbed against the surface of the paper guide member to guide the paper strip into the conveyor. 0 Since the paper is pulled away from the end and rotated so as to be pushed downward, the piece of paper rotates from a horizontal position to a vertical position with the minimum amount of rotation, and unnecessary large rotations are not performed and the folding tendency of the paper piece does not recover. .
