【Example】

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 shows the basics of the banknote storage device. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the main mechanism, FIG. 2 is a plan view of a banknote storage device implementing the present invention, and FIG. The same is a side view, Figure 4 is a side view of the vertical type, and Figures 5 and 6 are left and right views respectively. It is a front view showing a guide bar.

[0008] First, in Figure 1, 1 indicates the lower case, and the opening of the lower case 1 The upper case is removably attached to form an overall casing that encloses the mechanism. Ru. A banknote insertion guide piece 3 is attached to the front part of this casing, and the banknote insertion guide piece 3 is attached to the front part of the casing. An insertion opening is formed in the guide piece 3. Insert one end of the bill near the insertion slot. It is equipped with a switching sensor 4 that senses and starts the mechanism, and this switch The checking sensor 4 receives a signal for determining the authenticity of the inserted banknote. The sensor is also integrated. Note that this judgment sensor may be placed separately. , the obtained signal is sent to a memory that stores the genuine signal in advance and is compared. Ru.

[0009] When the aforementioned switching sensor 4 detects the insertion of a banknote, the motor 5 is activated. The pair of left and right belts 7, 7 are driven by the gear of the drive shaft 6 and the transmission gear mechanism. The belts 7 and 7 run and carry the banknotes into the interior, and the banknotes move downward as the belts 7 and 7 run. It is sent as being rolled up, and is sequentially stocked in the storage chamber formed in the lower case. To go.

0010 In Figures 2 and 3, which show the present invention as a horizontal type, there is a banknote insertion slot next to the insertion slot. Two guide grooves 10, 10, which guide both edges along the longitudinal direction, are symmetrical at each point. A pair of guide bars 11 and 11 are provided, and the guide grooves 10 and 1 described above are provided. 0 is a state where the height position matches the top surface of the belts 7 and 7, and the inside is always open. has been done. Also, when the bill is drawn in by the belts 7, 7, it passes the authenticity sensor 4. However, its running is stopped once before the large and small rollers.

[0011] Gears 12, 12 are attached to the tips of the guide bars 11, 11, respectively, The gears 12 and 12 are connected to a gear 13 that interlocks with the motor 5 through a gear mechanism. In this embodiment, the guide bars 11 and 11 are rotated 180 degrees toward each other inwardly. They are rotated at the same pitch at the same time.

0012 Below the guide bars 11, 11 are biased upward by springs 13. A receiving plate 14 for banknotes is provided, and guide bars 11 and 11 are placed on the receiving plate 14. The banknote is dropped by rotating 180 degrees, and at the same time it is dropped by the outer peripheral surface of the guide bars 11. be pushed down. In this way, the banknotes are sequentially stacked on the receiving plate 14, and then The plate 14 is accordingly pushed downward against the spring 13. There is.

[0013] The receiving plate 14 described above is movable within the banknote storage chamber 15. When it is filled with banknotes and there is no room left, the device is activated, i.e. the switch is activated. The activation of the switching sensor 4 is stopped. In this case, attach it to the front of containment chamber 15. By pulling the lid 16 toward you, the storage chamber 15 is pulled out by the link mechanism, and the banknotes are stored. will be taken out.

[0014] Note that the rotational movement of the guide bars 11, 11 described above is based on the rotational movement of the guide bars 11, 11. The process starts when the arrival confirmation sensor 17 installed at the back of the banknote detects the end of the banknote. Also, 18 is a guide groove for the spring 13, and 19 is a guide groove for the fulcrum pin of the lid 16. be. Note that 18 guide grooves do not need to be provided in order to reduce the size. The spring 13 may be installed alone.

[0015] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. It is a pool. In this case, the banknotes are fed perpendicularly downward from the position of the roller 20 and arranged vertically. It is moved to the right in the figure by the guide bars 11. In other words, is the receiving plate 14 on the left? It will be pushed to the right. In this case, move the receiving plate 14 toward the guide bar 11. The spring 13a that biases the It is stopped at the edge. Also, even in this vertical type, the spring 13a is resilient. You may use the formula.

[0016] The banknote accommodating device according to this embodiment is configured as described above. In this example Therefore, we decided to form two guide grooves 10 for each guide bar 11, but It is not a matter of particularity; it is the rotation angle that allows the bill to be separated from the guide groove 10. If a rotation of 90 degrees or more can be obtained, that number is possible even with three or four strips. ing.

[0017]

[Effect of the idea]

As mentioned above, according to the paper storage device according to the present invention, the rotation of the guide bar Since the mechanism accommodates banknotes by pressing them against the receiving plate, the structure of the mechanism is The number of parts and space required for the device can be reduced, the device itself can be made smaller, and the drive Only one motor is required as a power source.
