Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the occurrence of a paper money carrying defect due to creases of paper money by providing a paper money crease straightening mechanism which straightens creases of received paper money. CONSTITUTION:The paper money crease straightening mechanism which straightens creases of paper money is provided between a conventional paper money reception part 1 and a paper money carrying path 3. Though paper money inserted to the paper money reception part 11 has creases, paper money has creases straightened by the paper money crease straightening mechanism 2 before arriving at the paper money carrying path 3, and therefore, a paper money carrying defect due to creases of paper money is difficult to occur. The paper money crease straightening mechanism consists of a pair of rolls heated by a heater or one roll heated by the heater and a belt brought into contact with this roll.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a banknote deposit machine for depositing banknotes into a built-in safe.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing an example of a conventional banknote deposit machine. The bill depositing machine of this example includes a bill depositing section 1, a bill conveyance path 3, and a built-in safe 4. Bills inserted into a bill depositing section 1 are stored in a built-in safe 4 via a bill conveyance path 3.

0003

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In this conventional banknote deposit machine, when a banknote inserted into the banknote deposit unit 1 has a fold, a conveyance failure occurs in the banknote transport path 3 due to the fold. There is a drawback.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks and to provide a banknote deposit machine in which transport defects are less likely to occur even if the banknotes inserted into the banknote deposit part have a tendency to fold.

[0005]

[Means for solving the problems] The banknote deposit machine of the present invention has the following features:
A banknote deposit machine that deposits banknotes into a built-in safe has a banknote fold correction mechanism for correcting the fold of deposited banknotes.

[0006]The banknote fold correction mechanism is composed of a pair of rollers heated by a heater, or one roller heated by a heater and a belt in contact with this roller, or a mechanism heated by a heater. It consists of a pair of belts.

[0007]

[Operation] FIG. 1 is a block diagram for explaining the operation of the banknote deposit machine of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the bill depositing machine of the present invention has a bill folding correction mechanism 2 for correcting the folding bill between the bill depositing section 1 and the bill conveying path 3 of the conventional example (shown in FIG. 5). We are prepared.

[0008] By doing this, the banknote deposit section 1
Even if a banknote inserted into a banknote has a folding tendency, the folding tendency of the banknote is corrected by the banknote folding tendency correcting mechanism 2 before reaching the banknote conveyance path 3, so that banknote conveyance defects caused by the folding tendency of the banknote can be avoided. It becomes less likely to occur.

[0009]

Embodiments Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a first example of the banknote fold correction mechanism shown in FIG. The bill fold correction mechanism of this example has a structure in which a pair of rollers 5 and 6 heated by a heater 7 are rotated in a roller rotation direction 8 . By moving the banknote between the rollers 5 and 6 in the banknote movement direction 9, the banknote is heated and rolled to correct its folding tendency.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a second example of the banknote fold correction mechanism shown in FIG. 1. The banknote fold correction mechanism of this example has a structure including a roller 5 that is heated by a heater 7 and rotates in a roller rotation direction 8, and a belt 10a that is arranged so as to be in contact with the roller 5 and moves in a belt movement direction 12. Banknote moving direction 9 between roller 5 and belt 10a
By moving the banknotes in the direction of , the banknotes are heated and rolled, and their folds are corrected. According to this second example, the first
When compared with the above example, since the banknotes can be heated and rolled for a longer period of time, the folding tendency of the banknotes can be corrected more reliably.

FIG. 4 is a configuration diagram showing a third example of the banknote fold correction mechanism in FIG. 1. The banknote fold correction mechanism of this example has a structure in which a belt 13 heated by a heater 7 and a belt 10b disposed in contact with the belt 13 are moved in a belt movement direction 12. By moving the banknote between the belt 13 and the belt 10b in the banknote movement direction 9, the banknote is heated and rolled, and its folding tendency is corrected. According to this third example, belt 13 and belt 10
When compared with the second example by increasing the length of b,
Since the banknotes can be heated and rolled for a longer period of time, folding can be corrected more reliably. Further, since the belt has a large degree of freedom in arrangement, it is possible to downsize the banknote fold correction mechanism.

[0013] After the banknotes inserted into the banknote deposit unit 1 have their folds corrected by the banknote fold correction mechanisms of the first to third examples, the banknotes are fed into the banknote conveyance path 3 to correct the folds caused by the banknotes' folds. The occurrence of transportation defects can be reduced.

[0014]

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the bill depositing machine of the present invention, there is an effect that poor bill conveyance caused by folding of bills is less likely to occur.
