JPH04116028A - Mechanism to deliver from sheet accumulating part - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To deliver a change and a bank note for exchange directly from a bank note accumulating part and to prevent complication, the increase of a size, and the increase of a cost by providing a pusher moved to an accumulating table by pressing down sheets in an input route, an elevating mechanism for the pusher, a feed roller loaded on the elevating mechanism, and a drive motor. CONSTITUTION:At an initial state, a pusher 15 is raised to a moving-aside position shown by a dotted line. A bank note P conveyed through a note discriminating part from a note insertion part is fed in a conveyance passage 3 and stopped in a position. In which case, since a drive pulley 21 is rotated in the direction of an arrow mark, a wire lock part 23a under a stop at a rotation angle shown by a dotted line is moved upward against the force of a spring 20 and an elevating member 16 is pulled down. Thereby, the bank note in the conveyance passage 3 is pressed by the pusher 15 lowered to an accumulating table 8 through a space 14 When the pusher 15 is lowered to a lower limit position, the bank note in the conveyance passage 3 is separated away from guide plates 4 and 5 and brought into a loading state on the table 8. After completion of accumulation, the drive pulley 21 is rotated so that the wire lock part 23a is returned to a position shown by a dotted line, and the pusher 15 is returned.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a structure for directly dispensing a desired number of banknotes or the like stacked inside a device such as a vending machine.

(Prior art) Recently, the number of vending machines and currency exchange machines that can accept high-value banknotes such as 10,000 yen and 5,000 yen is increasing.
It has become necessary to pay out change and exchange money in 5,000 yen and 1,000 yen bills. In conventional vending machines, bills for change, etc. are stored in advance in a bill stacker exclusively for change, and the bills inserted through the bill insertion slot are used as change by simply storing them in the storage section. Things became less common.

However, in order to avoid the increase in size and cost caused by providing a stand for change, there is a growing desire to circulate the collected banknotes and use them as change.

From this point of view, devices that handle paper sheets such as banknotes and tickets, such as vending machines, money exchange machines, cash dispensers, and ticket vending machines, are equipped with a recirculation mechanism for dispensing accepted banknotes as change. A built-in storage room is now being used.

This type of vending machine, etc. has a deposit section for each denomination in the interior that communicates with an insertion slot for inserting paper sheets, and also has a deposit section for each denomination, change, etc.
The depositing section for 1,000 yen bills and the like used for currency exchange is provided with a feeding mechanism for taking out the bills one by one and temporarily storing them in the holding section. When the necessary number of banknotes are stacked in the holding section, the dispensing mechanism is activated to send out this banknote bundle to the dispensing section.

However, the conventional configuration including a deposition device, a feeding mechanism from the deposition device, and a discharging mechanism from the holding section is large and
Improvements in this point have been desired since this leads to increased complexity and higher costs.

(Objective of the Invention) The present invention has been made in view of the above, and is capable of dispensing change, currency exchange bills, etc. directly from the bill depositing section that deposits bills inserted from the bill inserting section of a vending machine, etc. It is an object of the present invention to provide a mechanism for dispensing paper sheets from a paper sheet stacking section without complicating the structure, increasing the size, or increasing costs.

(Summary of the Invention) In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention includes a stacking table supported movably up and down in a stacking chamber for stacking paper sheets and biased upward by a spring, and a stacking table mounted on a side wall of the stacking chamber. A pair of dispensing rollers provided at the dispensing port formed therein descends into the paper sheet carry-in path located directly above the dispensing port, and presses down papers M in the carry-in path to move them onto the stacking table. It is characterized by comprising a bushier, a motor for driving a feed roller and a foot roller mounted on the busher, and a lifting mechanism for the busher.

(Example) Hereinafter, the mechanism for dispensing paper sheets from the paper sheet holding section of the present invention will be described in detail.

FIG. 1 (al and fbl are a longitudinal sectional view and a partial side view thereof showing the structure of an embodiment of the present invention.

This stacking section 1 has a stacking box 2 and an inner wall of the stacking box 2 to form a carry-in path 3 for feeding bills P inserted from a bill inserting section (not shown) and conveyed inside after passing through a bill identifying section. A guide plate 4.5 protrudes from the appropriate position, a banknote stacking table 8 that can be raised and lowered and is biased upward by a spring 7 extending from the bottom of the stacking box 2, and a guide plate 4.5 formed on the inner wall of the straight plate. It is supported in a vertically movable manner by a payout port 1O, a heavy feed roller pair +1 arranged at the payout port 10, and a guide rail 13 arranged outside the deposit box 2 and extending downward, and a guide plate 4 at the tip. .5 push-in space 1
4, a lifting mechanism 17 for lifting and lowering the lifting member 16, a feed roller 18 held by the button 15, and the like. As shown in FIG. 1(b), a feed roller 18 and a motor 19 for rotationally driving the feed roller 18 are mounted on the busher 15.

The elevator FI4+7 is a mechanism for raising and lowering the pusher 15 including the foot roller 18 from the lower limit position (dispensing position) shown by the solid line to the retreat position shown by the dotted line, and is attached with the other end 16a of the lifting member 16 facing upward. A spring 20 for biasing, a wire 23 whose one end is fixed to the other end 16a of the elevating member 16, the other end is fixed to the outer periphery of the drive pulley 21, and whose intermediate part is wound around the reversing pulley 22. have Each pulley 21, 22 has an axis 21 which is immovable.
It is rotatably supported by a and 22a. The drive pulley 21 rotates in the direction of the arrow, for example.

The pusher 15 including the foot roller 18 can be moved from the F-limit position to the retracted position with one rotational stroke.

In the above configuration, in the initial state, the button 5 including the filter roller 18 is raised to the retracted position shown by the dotted line, but the banknote P inserted from the banknote insertion section (not shown) and conveyed through the banknote identification section is conveyed. When the wire is fed into the path 3 and stops at a predetermined position for 10 + hours, the drive pulley 21 starts rotating in the direction of the arrow, so that the wire fastening part 23a, which had been stopped at the rotation angle shown by the dotted line, springs up. 20 and pulls down the elevating member 16. Therefore, the banknotes in the conveyance path 3 are pushed into the space 14.
It is pressed by the pusher 15 that descends onto the deposition table 8 via the. Furthermore, when the pusher 15 reaches the lower limit position shown in the figure, the banknotes in the conveyance path 3 leave the guide plate 4.5 and become stacked on the stacking table 8. After the deposition is completed,
By rotating the drive pulley 21 so that the wire fastening portion 23a returns to the dotted line position, the pusher 15 is returned to the retracted position shown by the dotted line.

The banknotes P on the stacking table 8 are used as change or money exchange through the payout port I.
When dispensing a predetermined number of sheets from O, the pusher 15 is lowered to the lower limit a shown by the solid line (or a height appropriate for the amount of paper fed), and then the motor I9 is driven to rotate the feed roller 18. , the banknotes P on the stacking table 8 are taken out one by one starting from the topmost banknote and fed toward the payout port 10.

It is preferable to form a high friction region I8a on the outer circumferential surface of the feed roller 18 to improve the ease of taking out.

The double-feed prevention roller pair 11 has a double-feed prevention structure consisting of friction rollers and the like, and when two or more bills are fed from the feed roller 18, only one bill is sent forward and the rest are placed in the stacking box. I'm trying to return it to . The driving source for the roller pair 11 for preventing double feeding is a motor of a separate system.

Next, FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which a hollow support frame 30 is fixed at a position directly below one guide plate 4 and directly above the dispensing port IO, and a city transport One side of the normal roller 11a is arranged B, and a part of its outer peripheral surface is opened at the lower opening 30.
The other double-feed prevention roller llb is supported by a support frame 32 that protrudes from a and is provided below the dispensing port. As a result, the distance between the nip between the rollers IIa and llb and the uppermost edge A of the banknote bundle is set to the minimum.

One double feed prevention roller lla located above is connected to motor 3.
The other double feed prevention roller llb is driven by a motor 35 via a one-way clutch 34.

The configurations of the busher 15, feed roller 18, motor I9, etc. are the same as in the first embodiment.

In the above configuration, the banknotes conveyed between the respective guide plates 4.5 are placed on the stacking table 8 by lowering the bushier 15, and the bushar 15 stops at the payout position shown in FIG. By rotating the feed roller 18, the banknotes can be dispensed from the topmost banknote.

Although the above embodiment describes the case where banknotes are stored, it is of course applicable to general paper sheets other than banknotes.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, change, banknotes for exchange, etc. can be directly dispensed from the banknote stacking part that deposits banknotes inserted from the banknote insertion part of a vending machine or the like. Moreover, it does not complicate the configuration, increase the size, or increase the cost.
