In addition, when the drawer mechanism is pushed against the main body of the device with the stack cutter 2 loaded in the drawer mechanism,
For example, if the handle 12 is in the raised state at this time, the handle 12 will come into contact with the wall (path shown) of the main body of the device due to the pushing force of the pull-out mechanism, and will be automatically brought down, as described above. It becomes possible to perform the operation (2) automatically.

Further, the present invention is not limited to automatic overturning of the handle 12 in this manner, and the operator may manually overturn the handle 12 to unlock the upper slide cover 3.

(d) Deposit/withdrawal stacker o-tsuku mechanism (Figures 1 to 2)
, FIG. 8, FIG. 10) and the locking mechanism of the deposit stacker 2 (see FIGS. 3 to 5) will be explained.

A link 20 is fixed to the inner surface of the rotating plate 15, and a link 20 is attached to the tip of the link 20 via a pin 21.
One end of 2 is rotatably provided. This link 22

By tilting the link 20 in the same direction as the rotary plate 15, the lock member 24 rotates in the direction of arrow (d) through the link 22 about the horizontal axis 24A, and thereby the lock member The hook portion 24B of 24 is attached to the pin 25 on the drawer mechanism side.
can be engaged to lock the star/force to the withdrawal mechanism.

(3) Elevator up mechanism.

(i) First, the elevator 4° lift mechanism of the deposit/withdrawal stacker 1 will be explained (FIGS. 1, 2, and 8).

The internal space of the deposit/withdrawal stacker 1 in which banknotes are stored is provided with an elevator 4 on the upper surface of which the banknotes are placed in a stacked state.

This elevator 4 moves up and down by having idle rollers, indicated by reference numerals 31 and 31, slidably fit into guide grooves 32 formed in the vertical direction on the side surface of the stacker 1. Deposit/withdrawal stacker 1 if applicable
When the banknotes sent from the upper opening 1A are received on the upper surface of the stacker and the banknote is in the lowered position, the deposit/withdrawal stacker l
The stacked banknotes placed on the upper surface of the lower opening IB are fed out sequentially from the bottom side (note that the banknotes are fed out by contacting the bottom surface of the stacked banknotes, (This is done using a feeding roller (path shown) that feeds out one sheet from the bottom side toward the lower opening).

Also, a support plate 3 that supports the guide rollers 31, 31 is provided.
3 fixes the elevator 4 and is connected to an elevating belt 34 driven by a drive source (path shown), so as to transmit the operation of the elevating belt 34 to the elevator 4. There is.

Further, the lower end of the support plate 33 is bent outward to form a bent portion 33A, and this bent portion 33A comes into contact with the roller 35 provided on the pin 23, as described in the previous section. It is pushed upward by rollers 35.

In the elevator up mechanism of the deposit/withdrawal stacker I configured as described above, by raising the handle 12 and rotating the link 20 together with the rotary plate 15 in the direction of arrow (d), the lock member 24 is moved through the link 22 to the horizontal axis. 24
The roller 35 rotates in the direction of the arrow (C) with A as the center, and the roller 35 rises and connects the support plate 3 through the bent portion 33A.
3 is pushed up together with elevator 4.

The range of rise of the elevator 4, which is pushed up by rotating the handle 12, corresponds to the height dimension of the lower opening 1B of the deposit/withdrawal stacker 1. 4 is located above the lower opening 1B, so that banknotes on the elevator 4 cannot be fed out through the lower opening IB.

Further, in the elevator up mechanism shown in (1), the guide roller 31, the guide groove 32, and the support plate 33 constitute the mounting plate support mechanism shown in the claims, and the handle 12, the rotary plate 15, the link 201 pin 21, link 22
, pin 23, locking member 24, bending portion 33A, roller 3
5 constitutes a mounting plate up mechanism shown in the claims.

(11) Regarding the elevator up mechanism of the deposit stacker 2 (see Figures 3 to 5), the link 22 (explained in the section "Lock mechanism of the deposit stacker 2") has an elevator that points toward the rear of the deposit stacker 2. A lift arm 22A is provided integrally with the link 22.

On the other hand, a bottom plate 36 (placing plate) is provided at the bottom of the deposit stacker 2, on which banknotes for withdrawal are placed (on the top surface, the withdrawal section 2A is formed). , deposited banknotes are placed on the upper surface of the bottom plate 36 (
A partition plate 6, which is an elevator (with a depositing portion 2B formed on its upper surface), is provided.

A support plate 38 is fixed to the side of the bottom plate 36, and has a roller 37A and a guide roller 37B coaxially arranged, and a guide roller 37C vertically parallel to the guide roller 37B.

The guide roller 37B and the guide roller 37C are arranged in a long hole 39 extending in the vertical direction, and are arranged in a long hole 39 extending in the vertical direction.
It slides along the inner surface of 9. Further, the roller 37A comes into contact with the lift arm 22A and is pushed upward by the lift arm 22A, and by pushing up the lift arm 22A, the bottom plate 36 is moved together with the support plate 38 along the elongated hole 39. I'm trying to raise it.

That is, when the handle 12 is raised, the lift arm 22A rises together with the link 22, and the roller 3
7A is pulled up, and as a result, the bottom plate 3
6 is raised, and the lower opening 2D, which is the opening for dispensing banknotes from the dispensing section 2A, is closed by the bottom plate 36 (the state shown in FIGS. 3 to 5).

On the other hand, the front end of the partition plate 6 is attached to the lifting belt 34.
(r) (explained in "Elevator up mechanism of deposit/withdrawal stacker 1"), so as to move up and down. In other words, the operation of the partition plate 6 is performed independently of the operation of the bottom plate 36.

Note that the rising range of the bottom plate 36 along the elongated hole 39 corresponds to the height dimension of the lower opening 2D of the deposit stacker 2.
When the bottom plate 36 is completely raised, the bottom plate 36 is located above the lower opening 2D, and the banknotes on the bottom plate 36 cannot be fed out.

Furthermore, if the bottom plate 36 is lifted by the lift arm 22A and the partition plate 6 is placed within the rising range of the bottom plate 36 at this time, the partition plate 6 will also be pushed up by the bottom plate 36 at the same time. .

In addition, in the elevator up mechanism shown in (ii), the guide rollers 37B and 37C, the support plate 38, and the elongated hole 3
9 constitutes a mounting plate support mechanism shown in the claims, and also includes a handle 12, a rotary plate 15, a link 20. Bin 21,
The link 22, the lift arm 22A5, the bin 23, the lock member 24, and the roller 37A constitute a mounting plate up mechanism shown in the claims.

(4) The handle/opening mechanism will be explained (Figs. 1 to 5, 9, and 10).

A locking member 40, whose one end 40B abuts against the release bottle 14, is rotatably provided on the horizontal shaft 40A disposed on the main body of each stud cutter 2. This lock member 40
The upper end of a link 42 is connected to the other end via a bottle 41, and this link 42 and each stud cutter 2 are connected to each other.
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 10, a tension spring 43 is provided between the link 42 and the main body to bias the link 42 downward.

The lower end portion 42A of the link 42 has a pin 25 (described in "R(d) Stacker Lock Mechanism") inserted into the recess ID/2F of each stacker 2 main body when each stacker 2 is loaded in the drawer mechanism. and is pressed upward by the bottle 25.

With the above configuration, when the stack cutter 2 is loaded in the drawer mechanism, the recess ID/
The link 42 is lifted by the pin 25 on the pullout mechanism side that enters the 2F, and the lock member 40 is attached to the horizontal shaft 40.
It rotates around A in the direction of arrow (C). As a result, the locking member 40 is separated from the release pin 14, the release pin 14 is no longer pressed by the locking member 40, and the handle 12 can freely rotate.

On the other hand, when the handle 12 is raised to lift each stud cutter 2 from the main body of the apparatus and taken out, the link 42 is moved downward by the bias of the tension spring 43, and the lock member 40 is moved as shown by the arrow ()X. It will be rotated in the direction.

As a result, even if you try to knock down the handle 12 with the stack cutter 2 taken out from the main body of the device, the locking member 40
Since the rotation of the release bottle 14 is restricted, the upright handle 12 cannot be folded down.

(5) The bill pressure mechanism of the deposit/withdrawal stacker 1 will be explained (Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 11, Fig. 12).

In these figures, the reference numeral 5 indicates the elevator 4.
The amount of accumulated banknotes on the top is reduced, and the feeding roller (not shown)
When the frictional force between the banknotes and the banknotes is insufficient (the feeding roller comes into contact with the bottom surface of the stacked banknotes and feeds out the banknotes one by one from the bottom side toward the lower opening), with respect to the feeding roller,
This is a bill pressure that presses the banknotes from above.

This building pressure 5 is rotatably supported by an arm member 45 via a horizontal shaft 5A. Further, a pin 47 that passes through a long hole 46 formed on the side of the building pressure 5 is fixed to this arm member 45, and this pin 47 allows the building pressure 5 to be moved along the horizontal axis within the length range of the long hole 46. It rotates around 5A.

The arm member 45 is rotatably supported around a horizontal shaft 48 provided on the main body of the deposit/withdrawal stacker 1, and one end of a link 49 is rotatably attached to the horizontal shaft 48. Further, one end of a link 51 is connected to the other end of this link 49 via a pin 50. Note that the pin 50 that connects the link 49 and the link 51 is provided so as to pass through a long hole 52 formed in the arm member 45, and the connecting portion between the link 49 and the link 51 is is allowed to rotate around the horizontal axis 48.

A link 5 is connected to the other end of the link 51 via a bottle 53.
The link 5 is rotatably connected to one end of the link 5.
The other end of the deposit/withdrawal stacker 1 is rotatably supported by a horizontal shaft 55 provided on the deposit/withdrawal stacker 1 body.

Further, a lever 56 is rotatably supported on this horizontal shaft 55, and a link 57 is fixed to this lever 56. The link 57 has a roller 57A and a notch 57B at its tip, and the roller 57
A restricts the link 54 from rotating in the direction of arrow (d). Moreover, the notch 57 of the link 57
B is the above-mentioned "(-) Upper slide cover locking mechanism"
It is designed to engage with the pin 58 provided at the end of the regulating piece 11 described in .

Due to the bill pressure 5 structure of the deposit/withdrawal stacker 1 configured as described above, when the bill pressure 5 rotates downward around the horizontal axis 55 (that is, the state shown in FIG. 11), the bill shake and the two shear The lower surface of the banknote 5 presses the banknote, and the banknote can be reliably fed out one by one from the bottom side by the feeding roller.

Note that when the notch 57B of the link 57 and the pin 58 of the regulating piece 11 are in an engaged state, the building pressure 5
is raised and placed in a position along the front of the main body of the device, that is, in the position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Further, the drive mechanism for rotating the building pressure 5 about the horizontal shaft 55 will be described in the next section (6).

In addition, the reason why the Bill Breno Shear mechanism has a structure in which multiple pins, links, etc. This is to keep the friction coefficient between the roller and the lower surface of the banknote constant at all times.

(6) The power transmission mechanism of the deposit/withdrawal stacker 1 to the Bill Breno Shear mechanism will be explained (see FIG. 13).

A coupling disk 60 is provided in the drawer mechanism into which the cash deposit/withdrawal stacker 1 is loaded.

This coupling disk 60 rotates around a horizontal axis (not shown) provided on the drawer mechanism side.
The driving force of a drive motor (not shown) is transmitted through a belt 61 and a boot 62. Further, on the inner surface side of this coupling disc 60, there is a tip portion (the first
1 to 13, etc.) is provided, and in a state where the connecting groove 63 and the lever 56 are connected, the driving force of the drive motor is transferred to the lever 56.
It is intended to be transmitted to

Further, the connecting groove 63 has a shape in which the portion into which the lever 56 enters expands outward as shown by the reference numeral 63A. Even if the lever 56 is tilted because the lever 56 is slightly lowered to the bottom side (the lever 56
(indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 13), the lever 56 is erected by the connecting groove 63 when coupled with the coupling disc 60, so that the bill pressure 5 is in the state shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. It will be rotated to the retracted position.

In other words, when the deposit/withdrawal stacker 1 is loaded into the withdrawal mechanism, the bill pressure 5 is always generated.

In FIG. 13, reference numerals 64, 64 and 65 indicate a withdrawal mechanism and a positioning block provided on the deposit/withdrawal stacker 1 side, respectively.
It is used when loading the drawer into the drawer mechanism.

(7) The elevator position detection mechanism of the deposit stacker 2 will be explained (see FIGS. 5 and 14).

On the lower surface of the partition plate 6 which is a partition plate provided inside the deposit stacker 2, there is a detection plate 66 which is rotatable around a horizontal axis 66A and whose end portion is displaced in the horizontal direction by rotation. Furthermore, a detection rod 67 is attached to the end of the detection plate 66.

The detection plate 66 has its lower surface in contact with the upper surface of the payout banknotes placed on the bottom plate 36, and rotates upward while in contact with the banknotes to move the detection rod 67 to the deposit stacker 2.
It is made to move relative to the main body in the horizontal direction.

Further, on the side surface of the main body of the deposit stacker 2 facing the detection rod 67, there is a detection lever 6 that rotates around a vertical shaft 68A.
8 is attached in a state where it is biased toward the right in FIG. In addition, there is a detection window 6 on the side of the main body of the deposit stacker 2.
9 is formed, and a reflecting mirror 70 provided at one end of the detection lever 68 can be seen through the detection window 69.

Further, on the device main body side, there is a sensor that irradiates a light beam onto a reflective mirror 70 through the detection window 69 when the drawer mechanism is pushed into the device main body, and further detects the light beam reflected by the reflective mirror 70. 71 is provided.

According to the elevator position detection mechanism configured as described above, when the partition plate 6 is in the raised position and the detection plate 66 is not in contact with the banknote, the detection plate 66 is tilted downward, and the detection plate 66 is tilted downward. A detection rod 67 provided at the end of the plate 66 is located at a distance from the detection lever 68. However, when the partition plate 6 descends and presses the upper surface of the dispensing banknote on the bottom plate 36, the detection plate 66 simultaneously contacts the banknote and rotates upward, thereby causing the edge of the detection plate 66 to rotate upward. The detection rod 67 provided in the section is displaced horizontally, and the detection lever 68 is pressed and rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 14 about the vertical axis 68A.

Then, when the detection lever 68 rotates counterclockwise in FIG. 14 and the reflection mirror 70 is hidden from the detection window 69, the sensor 71 that had been continuously detecting the reflection mirror 70 detects the reflection mirror 70. As a result, it is possible to detect that the partition plate 6 has reached the upper surface of the stored banknotes and has touched (pressed) the upper surface of the stored banknotes.

In other words, in such an elevator position detection mechanism, the lower surface of the partition plate 6 can be appropriately brought into contact with the dispensing banknotes on the bottom plate 36, and the dispensing banknotes can be bill-pressed with a constant pressure. The dispensing banknotes can be reliably dispensed one by one from the bottom side by the dispensing roller.

Next, the slide cover 3 is opened via the opening/closing link 74.
To explain the mechanism for locking, automatically opening, and automatically closing 3. in the closed state, the drawer mechanism main body is provided with a regulating piece 77 that rotates around a horizontal shaft 77A. This regulating piece 77 is provided with a pin 78 on one end thereof, and a tension spring 79 on the other end that biases the regulating piece 77 clockwise in FIGS. 15 and 16. The pin 78 of the regulating piece 77 is adapted to be engaged with a protrusion 80 fixed to the opening/closing link 74. When the pull-out mechanism is pulled out from the device main body, the pin 78 of the regulating piece 77 and the protrusion 80 of the opening/closing link 74 are in an engaged state, as shown in FIG. The upper slide cover 3 cannot be opened by sliding the opening/closing link 74.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 16, on the device main body side,
A cam 81 is provided within the movement path of the pin 78 provided in the pull-out mechanism.

The cam 81 contacts the pin 78 from above and presses the pin 78 downward, thereby moving the regulating piece 77 toward the horizontal shaft 77.
It rotates counterclockwise around point A. That is, when the pull-out mechanism is pushed into the main body of the device, the cam 81 causes the regulating piece 77 to rotate counterclockwise in FIGS. Lifting restrictions and stacker I/2
The upper openings IA and 2C are opened.

Further, on the drawer mechanism main body side, a pin 82 is provided that passes through a long hole 74A formed horizontally in the opening/closing link 74. (within a range where the openings IA and 2C can be reliably opened).

On the other hand, on the device main body side and within the moving path of the opening/closing link 74 of the drawer mechanism, there is an opening piece 83 that abuts the front end 74B of the opening/closing link 74 and moves the opening/closing link 74 in the direction of arrow (b). is provided. This open piece 8
3 shows the case where the drawer mechanism loaded with the stack cutter 2 is pushed into the main body of the device (pushing direction; arrow (a)
direction), and when the pull-out mechanism is further pushed in the direction of arrow (A) while in contact with the front end 74B of the opening/closing link 74, Only the opening/closing link 74 moves relative to the drawer mechanism main body in the direction of arrow (b), thereby opening the upper slide cover 3.

As described above, according to the upper slide cover opening/closing mechanism (8), when the drawer mechanism loaded with the stanokato 2 is pushed into the apparatus main body, the opening/closing link 74 is moved by the opening piece 83 to the arrow ( (b) Opening grooves 76 and 7 formed in the opening/closing link 74 by being pressed in the direction side.
6..., the upper slide cover 3... of the stack cutter 2... loaded into the drawer mechanism via the guide pins 9, 9...
3. can be opened to - degrees.

On the other hand, when the drawer mechanism is pulled out from the apparatus main body, the pressing state of the opening/closing link 74 of the drawer mechanism by the opening piece 83 of the apparatus main body is released, and as a result, the opening/closing link 74 is opened by the slide spring 75. Groove 76・
76. The upper slide covers 3, 3, etc. can be closed at - degree through the pins 9, 9, etc. (according to (8) the opening/closing mechanism of the upper slide cover).

As described above in detail, according to the stacker mechanism of the bill depositing and dispensing machine shown in this embodiment, when the handle 12 is raised, the link 22 of the depositing and dispensing stacker 1
is raised, and the elevator 4 is pushed up together with the roller 35 provided on the lock member 24. Also, in the deposit stacker 2, the lift arm 22A of the link 22 is raised, and the bottom plate is lifted together with the roller 37A provided on the support plate 38. 36 is pushed up. As a result, each of the lower openings IB and 2D is closed, and the banknotes in the stacker 1 or 2 cannot be taken out through each of the lower openings IB and 2D (due to the elevator up mechanism (3)).

In addition, when the handle 12 is pulled up and the stacker 1 or 2 is further lifted, the pin 25 on the pull-out mechanism side comes out of each recess ID/2F, and the link 42 is pulled by the tension spring 43 and lowered. However, this prevents one end 40B of the locking member 40 from protruding into the moving path of the release pin 14 and causing the handle 12 to fall down. That is, the handle 12 is raised,
In addition, if the stacker 1 or 2 is removed from the drawer mechanism, each lower opening IB/2D is connected to the elevator 4.
Alternatively, the closed state is maintained by the bottom plate 36 ((4) by the handle/opening mechanism).

In this embodiment, each of the lower openings IB and 2D is closed when the handle 12 is raised, but strictly speaking, it is not the case when the handle I2 is raised, but when the operator closes the lower openings IB and 2D. When holding the handle 12 and lifting the stacker 1 or 2, each lower opening IB
All you have to do is close 2D.

In other words, instead of linking the operation of the handle 12, when actually removing the stacker 1 or 2 from the drawer mechanism, the drawer mechanism side that was engaged with the recess ID of the stacker 1 or the recess 2F of the stacker 2 The lower openings IB and 2D may be closed based on the movement of the pin 25.

"Effects of the Invention" As described in detail above, according to the present invention, when the stacker is removed from the drawer mechanism, the mounting plate on which banknotes are accumulated moves to a position above the lower opening. However, this prevents the banknotes from being taken out to the outside through the lower opening, and provides the effect that the banknotes can be safely stored in the stacker.
