Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] "Industrial application field" The present invention relates to a conveying device for pieces of paper such as banknotes.

"Prior Art" The applicant has proposed conventional paper conveying devices, such as those disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 52-84889, Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 59-135586,
In 1986, he devised a conveying device for paper strips that solved the problems of the one disclosed in Utility Model Publication No. 52-20297.
The application was filed on February 15th. Although the conveyance device of the proposed invention was able to convey pieces of paper such as banknotes extremely well, there were some problems when the posture of the banknotes during conveyance was poor.

"Problems to be Solved by the Invention" For example, when the above-mentioned paper conveyance device devised by the applicant is used to convey banknotes within a pachinko island consisting of a large number of pachinko machines and a thin banknote ball dispensing machine as shown in FIG. However, the banknotes inserted into the banknote insertion slots of a large number of flat banknote lending machines are fed into the conveying device through the communication passage. However, when sending this
If the feeding posture is poor and the banknotes are fed in at an angle as shown in Figure 4a, or the banknotes are overlapped with the banknotes being conveyed from behind, that is, two or more banknotes are held at the same time.
At that time, there were cases where the item was misaligned and the item was held at an angle. When such a phenomenon occurs, the fourth
As shown in FIGS. b and c, there was a problem in that the front and rear ends of the banknotes being transported were inserted into the inner corners of the box space surrounded by the upper and lower bases and the curtain plate, resulting in a stuck state.

The easiest way to solve this problem is to set the spacing between the upper and lower bases so that the spacing is at least twice the longitudinal width of the banknote, but it is difficult to avoid such large spacing. However, there was a problem in that the overall height of the conveying device became extremely high, making it impossible to install it within a limited space. Especially when installed on a pachinko island, the overall height was required to be as low as possible.

The present invention has been developed by focusing on these conventional problems.The height of the paper conveyance device can be lowered, banknotes with poor conveyance posture can be smoothly conveyed, and the structure is simple and inexpensive. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a conveying device for paper pieces that solves the problems with the device.

``Means for Solving the Problems'' The gist of the present invention to achieve this purpose is to provide an upper and lower base, a curtain plate that can be opened and closed attached to both sides of the base, and a In the conveying device for paper strips, the apparatus includes driving and driven pulleys spaced apart from each other, a round belt stretched between the pulleys, and a group of small pulleys that grip the round belt from both sides. The small pulley for use is provided with a groove on the outer periphery, and a round belt is held in the groove, and a T-shaped plate for center hole drilling made of a soft material is suspended below the upper base. , a piece of paper characterized in that L- and inverted L-shaped plates made of soft material are attached to both corners of the lower base, and the round belt holding rail is provided along the center of the lower base. conveyance device.

``Function'' However, since the round belt for conveying paper pieces is held in the groove of the pulley having a groove on the outer periphery, it can be held extremely firmly, so there is less slippage of the banknotes, and the conveyance device The height can be kept low. Further, even if a banknote is conveyed in a bad conveyance position, the upper part of the banknote moves along the hanging part of the T-shaped plate for centering, so that the banknote does not get caught in the corner. Also, since the lower part of the bill moves along the L or inverted L-shaped plate, it will not get caught.

In addition, even if bills are fed from two places on the left and right at the same time, the upper part of both bills has a T for center filling.
Because of the dial, they do not overlap, and because there is a round belt holding rail at the bottom of both banknotes,
As expected, they do not overlap and are conveyed smoothly.

Furthermore, since the T-shaped plate, the L, and the inverted L-shaped plate are made of a soft material such as plastic film, on-site processing can be performed extremely easily when assembling the conveyance device.
