2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, as a paper sheet storage and feeding mechanism of this type, a "paper sheet processing device" disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-779929 is known. This paper processing device
It has a receiving and discharging port in which a receiving port for taking in the paper sheets and a discharging port for discharging the paper sheets are shared, and a stacking unit for storing the paper sheets in a stacked state inside through the receiving and discharging port. , A forward / reverse rotatable storage / feed roller that is provided in the vicinity of the receiving / discharging port of the stacking unit, and that takes in and unwinds the sheet through the receiving / releasing port, and that can be rotated forward and backward. At the time, the separation / roller is rotated in the take-in direction together with the storing / delivering roller, and when the paper sheets stacked in the stacking unit are drawn out, the separation roller is restricted from rotating in the pay-out direction.
A kick-out roller for kicking the paper sheets accumulated in the accumulating section and sending them to the receiving and discharging port, a depositing path for conveying the deposited paper sheets, and a dispensing path for transporting the dispensed paper sheets. Deposit path,
The deposit / withdrawal common transport path that connects the deposit / withdrawal path to the deposit / withdrawal port of the stacking unit, and the deposit / delivery path and the deposit / withdrawal common transport path that meet each other. A sorting member that sorts the paper sheets to the common deposit / withdrawal common transport path, and also sorts the dispensed paper sheets in the stacking section transported through the common deposit / withdrawal transport path to the dispensing path, and can freely move back and forth with respect to the stacking section. And an impeller provided in the stacking portion so as to be able to project.

In the paper sheet processing apparatus configured as described above, after the deposited paper sheets conveyed through the deposit path are sorted by the sorting member to the deposit / withdraw common transport path, the deposited sheet sheets are distributed. Is conveyed to a position where the storing / delivering roller and the separating roller are in contact with each other via the common deposit / withdrawal conveying path, and the storing / delivering roller and the separating roller are further rotated in the collecting direction so that the deposit paper sheet is received. It is stored in the stacking unit via the discharge port. When storing the deposit paper sheets in the stacking unit from the receiving / discharging port, part of the impeller is projected into the stacking unit, and in this state, rotate the impeller in the receiving direction of the deposit paper sheets. Then, the impeller allows the deposited paper sheets to be scraped into the stacking portion.

On the other hand, the deposit paper sheets accumulated in the accumulating section are kicked out to the receiving and discharging port by the kicking roller as the discharged paper sheets, and then stored in the vicinity of the receiving and discharging port. While being fed to the common deposit / withdrawal conveyance path by the feeding roller, the separating rollers whose rotation in the feeding direction is restricted are separated one by one, and thereafter, the deposit / withdrawal paper sheets are separated from each other.

And when the movement of the impeller is not restricted, for example, by the reaction when the impeller guides the paper sheets into the stacking unit, or the force when the paper sheets slide on the sorting member,
There is a problem that the sorting member and the impeller move from a predetermined position, and a paper sheet jam occurs near the sorting member and the impeller. Therefore, in order to solve such a problem, it is necessary to provide a mechanism for restricting the movement of the distribution member and the impeller. At this time, like the movement mechanism, the distribution member and the impeller are not moved. If the mechanisms for restricting the movement are provided independently of each other, a new problem arises that the size of the entire apparatus increases.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is possible to move the distribution member and the impeller to the positions corresponding to the depositing operation or the dispensing operation by one link mechanism. In addition, the movement of the sorting member and the impeller at each position can be regulated, and further, the storing and feeding roller, the separating roller, and the impeller can be driven by a single drive unit, thereby Storage

The entrance opening / closing member 80 is rotated to a position along the slope of the guide member 13 (see FIG. 9B). Then, at the time of deposit, FIG. 9 (b) and FIG.
When the entrance opening / closing member 80 is arranged as shown in FIG. 3, and the entrance 10A of the transport path 10 located on the deposit path 5 side is widened by this, the deposit banknotes from the deposit path 5 are transferred to the transport path 1
It is possible to prevent jamming at the entrance / exit 10A of 0, and to reliably send the deposit banknote to the transport path 10 via the entrance / exit 10A. The position of the entrance / exit opening / closing member 80 shown in FIG. 9 (b) is the “sorting member depositing position” shown in the claims.

(3) As described above, the solenoid 70 is operated as shown in FIGS. 8 (a) to 8 (b),
As shown in FIG. 8B, when the output shaft 118 is pulled downward, the rotating member 60 is rotated clockwise, and the shaft 61 supporting the arm 62 moves diagonally upward to the left to move the arm 62 and the shaft 63. The rotating member 65 and the arm 66 are rotated in the counterclockwise direction. When the arm 66 is rotated in this manner, the rotating member 68 is rotated counterclockwise via the shaft 69. Then, when the rotating member 68 is rotated, the shaft 67 is moved from the state shown in FIG. 9A to the state shown in FIG. 9B.
Is rotated clockwise, and the rotary member 83 fixed to the notch 82 formed on the shaft 67 is rotated counterclockwise, whereby the engaging portion 8 formed on the rotary member 83.
Since the pin 4 engages the pin 85 fixed to the lower end of the support member 35, the lower end of the support member 35 is moved to the right in the figure. Then, by moving the lower end of the support member 35 to the right in the figure, the support member 35 is rotated counterclockwise about the shaft 34, and a part of the impeller 24 supported by the upper end of the support member 35 is rotated. , Is moved from the outside of the stacking unit 20 to the inside of the stacking unit 20 so that the deposited banknotes can be stored (see FIG. 9B).

When a part of the impeller 24 supported by the support member 35 is positioned in the stacking unit 20 at the time of deposit, the banknotes stacked on the elevator unit 21 cause
The impeller 24 is urged in a direction to be retracted from the stacking unit 20, and the urged impeller 24 urges the support member 3
5, the pin 85, the rotating member 83, and the shaft 67, as shown in FIG.
As seen from FIG. 8B, the rotary member 68 is biased clockwise, but as shown in FIG. 8B, the shaft 64 is located above the straight line connecting the shaft 69 and the shaft 63. As a result, the clockwise rotation of the shaft 67 is restricted, so that the impeller 24 is locked via the rotary member 68, the rotary member 83, and the support member 35, and is not retracted from the stacking unit 20. The position of the impeller 24 shown in Fig. 9 (b) is the "impeller deposit position" shown in the claims. With the above, the preparatory operation at the time of deposit is completed, and the following (4)-
Deposit processing as shown in (10) is performed.

(4) A pulley and a belt for driving the transport distribution mechanism 3 and the transport path 100 are rotated in a fixed direction by a drive unit (not shown) (see FIG. 1). As a result, when a deposit banknote of a corresponding denomination is transported via the transport path 100, the transport switching member 7 rotates to the position indicated by the alternate long and short dash line, and the deposit banknote is taken from the transport path 100. Further, when the received banknote is designated to be turned upside down, the front / back conveyance switching member 8 is rotated to the position indicated by the dotted line, and the received banknote is turned upside down and the conveyance path 9 is conveyed.
On the other hand, when the received banknote is not designated to be turned upside down, the front / backside transfer switching member 8 is rotated to the position shown by the alternate long and short dash line to prevent the received banknote from being turned over. 10 to convey.

(5) The gear 26 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is driven clockwise by a drive unit (not shown), so that the shaft 25 and the storing / feeding roller 16 fixed to the shaft 25 become a banknote. It is rotated in the clockwise direction, which is the capture direction. (6) The gear 28 fixed to the shaft 25 as shown in FIG.
4 rotates the gear 32 counterclockwise as viewed from FIG. 4 via the gears 30 and 31, and the gear 32 rotates the shaft 34 counterclockwise via the torque limiter 33 fixed thereto. The gear 43 on the shaft 34 via the one-way clutch 121 has the following characteristics when the shaft 34 is counterclockwise when viewed from FIG.
Since it is rotatable, the drive of the shaft 34 is not transmitted to the gear 42. That is, the driven shaft 34 is in a state of rotating in the counterclockwise direction.

(7) The separating roller 18 that is in pressure contact with the storing / feeding roller 16 is rotated counterclockwise, which is the bill taking-in direction, by the frictional force with the storing / feeding roller 16 that rotates clockwise as seen in FIG. The shaft 39 that is rotated and integrally provided with the separation roller 18 also rotates. That is, the storage / delivery roller 16 and the separation roller 18 are rotated in the bill taking-in direction so that the bills in the transport path 10 can be taken into the stacking unit 20. Then, as shown in FIG.
When is rotated counterclockwise, this rotational force is transmitted to the gear 41 via the one-way clutch 120, and the gear 41 drives the gear 38 meshing with the gear 41 clockwise as seen in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, the gear 38 driven clockwise rotates the gear 37 that rotates integrally with the impeller 24.
By rotating the counterclockwise, the impeller 24 is rotated counterclockwise so as to correspond to the moving direction of the banknotes stored from the transport path 10 as seen in FIGS. Then, when the impeller 24 rotates counterclockwise, the deposit banknotes sent into the stacking unit 20 through the transport path 10 are tapped downward by these impellers 24, and the elevator unit inside the stacking unit 20. The deposit banknotes are correctly accumulated on the 21.

(8) As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the gear 2
When the gear 46 is rotated clockwise with the gear 6,
6 rotates the gear 48 and the shaft 47 counterclockwise, and rotates the feed roller 19 which rotates integrally with the gear 48 and the shaft 47 counterclockwise while contacting the storage / feeding roller 16a. Further, as the shaft 47 is rotated counterclockwise, the pulley 50 and the belt 5 fixed to the shaft 47 are fixed as shown in FIG.
2, pulley 51, one-way clutch (not shown), shaft 49
The feed roller 15 is rotated counterclockwise as viewed from FIG. When the feed roller 15 is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 1, the feed roller 17 pressed against the feed roller 15 and the roller 112 rotating integrally with the impeller 23 are Rotated clockwise by the frictional force with. As a result, the deposited banknotes sent from the front-back reversal deposit path 4 to the transport path 9 are transported downward in the transport path 9 toward the stacking unit 20, and are further hit by the impeller 23 downward to deposit the deposit. The banknotes are correctly stacked on the elevator section 21 of the stacking section 20.

A one-way clutch (not shown) incorporated in the pulley 51 transmits the rotation of the belt 52 to the shaft 49 only when depositing money. That is, this one-way clutch (not shown) transmits the rotational force of the pulley 51 to the shaft 49 when the pulley 51 rotates counterclockwise as viewed from FIG. , When the pulley 51 rotates clockwise during withdrawal, the pulley 51
Will not be transmitted to the shaft 49, so that when the pulley 51 is driven clockwise, the rotation of the shaft 49 will stop.

(9) As shown in FIG. 11, the above (7)
By (8) and (8), when the banknotes are sequentially stacked in the elevator section 21 in the stacking section 20, the actuator 93 mounted on the upper surface of the stacked banknotes is rotated upward about the shaft 94A, Along with this, the detection member 95 fixed to the actuator 93 also moves upward, and the detection member 95 is no longer detected by the sensor 96. And
When the sensor 96 no longer detects the detection member 95, a drive unit (not shown) is driven to lower the elevator unit 21. It should be noted that the descent of the elevator section 21 by this drive unit is continued until the detection member 95 descends together with the actuator 93 and the detection member 95 is detected by the sensor 96. That is, by such operations of the sensor 96 and the actuator 93, the upper surface of the stacked banknotes in the elevator section 21 is always held at the same position in the stacking section 20 in the vertical direction, and the transport path 9 and the transport path 10 are held. The bills can be fed from the to the upper surface of the accumulated bills in a constant state. Note that the position of the elevator section 21 where the detection member 95 is detected by the sensor 96 is referred to as a “payment standby position”.

(10) When the deposit is completed, the transport path 10
0, the drive distribution mechanism 3 and the drive unit (not shown) that drives the gear 26 of the storage / delivery mechanism 1 are stopped, and the others are on standby at the deposit position.

As described in detail above, in the banknote storing / feeding mechanism according to the present embodiment, the banknote transfer / switching member 7 transfers the deposited banknotes which are discriminated as the designated denomination by the not-shown discriminating section and which are not designated to be turned upside down. And the front / back conveyance switching member 8 send the bills to the conveyance path 10 through the deposit path 5, and the discriminating unit discriminates the designated denomination, and the receipt banknotes designated to reverse the front / back are conveyed to the conveyance switching member 7 or the front / back conveyance. It is sent to the transport path 9 through the front-back reversing transport path 4 together with the member 8. Furthermore, transport path 1
The deposited banknotes conveyed to 0 are stored / delivered rollers 16 and 1
6a, the feed roller 19, and the separation roller 18 are sandwiched and taken into the stacking unit 20, while the deposited banknotes transported to the transport path 9 are transported to the transport roller 9 and the transport roller 15 at the transport path 9.
While being held by 7, the paper is taken up in the stacking unit 20 by being turned upside down on the conveying path 9. Therefore, as seen from FIG.
When the upper surface of the deposit banknotes at the position of the transport path 100 is taken as a front side, the deposit banknotes transported in the reverse direction on the transport path 100 are accumulated on the elevator section 21 via the deposit paths 5 and the transport paths 10. At the point of time, the back side faces upward, and the deposited banknotes that have been transported face-up on the transport path 100 (deposited banknotes that have been specified to be turned over) will have the front-back reversal deposit path 4 and the transport path 1
When it is transported to 0 and accumulated on the elevator section 21, the back side faces upwards as before, and as a result, the front and back sides of the deposit banknotes accumulated in the accumulating section 20 of the storing section 2 are gathered. To be

(B) Processing for withdrawal will be described. (1) At the time of withdrawal, the elevator section 21 for accumulating banknotes is lifted from the deposit standby position (see (9) of the processing at the time of deposit) by a drive unit (not shown), and the upper part of the accumulated banknotes moves the actuator 93. The kick roller 22 is pressed from below and while pressing the actuator 93.
And presses it upwards. Since the support member 86 that supports the kicking roller 22 is rotatably supported by the shaft 25, it is moved upward together with the kicking roller 22 as viewed in FIG. When the detection piece 91 provided on the support member 86 is moved upward by a predetermined range and the detection piece 91 is detected by the sensor 92, the drive unit (not shown) is stopped and the lift of the elevator section 21 is stopped. . That is, the upper surface of the accumulated banknotes on the elevator portion 21 is constantly brought into contact with the kicking roller 22 with a constant pressure.

(2) The solenoid 70 is operated and the state shown in FIG. 8 (b) is changed to the state shown in FIG. 8 (a).
That is, the solenoid 70 is operated to output the output shaft 118.
Is pushed upward, the link mechanism 53 performs an operation opposite to the operation (2) at the time of deposit, and the support member 71, the shaft 72,
Arm 73, shaft 74, rotating member 60, shaft 58, arm 5
7, the shaft 56, the rotating member 55, the shaft 54, the rotating member 75, the shaft 76, the arm 77, and the shaft 79 in order, and the entrance opening / closing member 80 is as shown in FIG. 9 (b) to FIG. 9 (a). Axis 8
1 is rotated in the clockwise direction, so that
As shown by, the upper portion outlet of the transport path 10 is narrowed, and the dispensed banknotes discharged from the upper portion outlet of the transport path 10 are transported vertically upward to the dispense path 6 of the transport distribution mechanism unit 3. Make sure that the tip of the dispensed banknote is directed.

Further, when the solenoid 70 is operated and the output shaft 118 is pushed upward as described above,
Support member 71, shaft 72, arm 73, shaft 74, rotating member 60, shaft 61, arm 62, shaft 63, arm 66, shaft 6
9, the rotation member 68, the shaft 67, the rotation member 83, and the pin 85 in this order, and the support member 35 from FIG.
As shown in (a), the impeller 24, which is rotated clockwise about the shaft 34 and supported by the shaft 34, retreats from the inside of the stacking unit 20. This prevents the impeller 24 from interfering when the accumulated banknotes are dispensed to the transport path 10.

At the time of withdrawal, as shown in FIG. 9 (a),
It is considered that the door opening / closing member 80 is biased toward the guide member 13 side by the banknotes fed from the transport path 10. However, as seen from FIG. 8A, the door opening / closing member 80 is more than a straight line connecting the shaft 56 and the shaft 59. Since the shaft 58 is located on the left side in the drawing, the counterclockwise rotation of the shaft 54 is restricted, whereby the inlet / outlet opening / closing member 80 is moved to the guide member 13 side via the rotating member 75 and the arm 77. It doesn't get in. The entrance opening / closing member 80 shown in FIG.
The position of is the "sorting member dispensing position" shown in the claims, and the position of the impeller 24 shown in Fig. 9A is the "impeller dispensing position" shown in the claims.

(3) A pulley and a belt for driving the transport distribution mechanism 3 and the transport path 100 are rotated in a fixed direction by a drive unit (not shown). Further, the transport switching member 7 and the front / back transport switching member 8 of the transport distribution mechanism 3 are rotated clockwise from the deposit standby position as seen in FIG. That is, both the transport switching member 7 and the front / back transport switching member 8 are arranged at positions that do not project into the transport path 100, as shown by the dotted lines.

With the above, the preparation operation at the time of withdrawal is completed, and withdrawal processing as shown in the following (4) to (9) is performed. (4) Next, the bill feeding operation will be described.
The gear 26 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is driven by a drive unit (not shown).
4 is driven counterclockwise as viewed from FIG. 4, and the shaft 25 and the storage / delivery roller 16 fixed thereto are also rotated counterclockwise, which is the bill delivery direction. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, when the shaft 25 is driven counterclockwise together with the gear 26, the gear 28 fixed to the shaft 25 becomes the gear 3
0, the gear 32 is rotated clockwise via the gear 31.

(5) As shown in FIG. 6, when the shaft 34 is rotated clockwise, the gear 43 is also driven clockwise through the one-way clutch 121, and the gear 42 is driven counterclockwise. Therefore, the separation roller 18 integrated with the gear 42 is also driven counterclockwise.

However, here, the torque limiter 33 provided on the gear 32 does not actually transmit the clockwise rotational force of the gear 32 to the separation roller 18 (however,
The fed bills are not double-fed, and the separating roller 18 does not slip with respect to the storing / feeding roller 16. That is, the torque limiter 33 provided on the shaft 30 is
Since a difference in torque between the shaft 2 and the shaft 34 exceeds a certain level, slippage occurs, so that the rotational force of the storing / feeding roller 16 is transmitted to the separating roller 18 (via a bill), When a certain torque is generated in the separation roller 18, that is, the dispensed bills sandwiched between the storage / delivery roller 16 and the separation roller 18 are not double-fed, and the separation roller 18 is removed by the storage / delivery roller 16. When driven by a constant torque, the separation roller 18, the shaft 3
A constant torque is also generated in the shaft 34 through the gears 9, the gear 42, the gear 43, and the one-way clutch 121 in order.
This causes the torque limiter 33 to slide the shaft 34 with respect to the gear 32, allowing counterclockwise relative rotation of the shaft 34, as opposed to the gear 32 rotating clockwise.

(6) On the other hand, when the separating / rolling roller 16 is driven by the separating / rolling roller 16 and the separating roller 18 is rotating in the counterclockwise direction which is the payout direction of the banknotes (that is, (If not double feed)
The rotating force of the separating roller 18 is
2 is transmitted to the gear 43, so that the gear 43
Is rotated counterclockwise. Since the gear 43 is provided on the shaft 34 via the one-way clutch 121,
When the separation roller 18 is driven by the storing / feeding roller 16 with a constant torque, the gear 43 only idles counterclockwise and does not transmit its rotational force to the shaft 34. Further, when the separation roller 18 is rotated clockwise by being driven by the storage / feeding roller 16, the shaft 39 rotates integrally with the separation roller 18, but when the shaft 39 rotates clockwise as viewed from FIG. 1-way clutch 120 is gear 4
Since the rotational force is not transmitted to No. 1, the drive is not transmitted to the gear 38, and therefore the impeller 24 does not rotate.

(7) When the dispensed bills sandwiched between the storing / feeding roller 16 and the separating roller 18 are double-fed, the separating roller 18 collects one sheet of the double-fed bills in the accumulating section 20. Scrape it inside. That is, when the banknotes are double-fed to the contact position between the storage / delivery roller 16 and the separation roller 18 of the transport path 10, the frictional force between the banknotes causes the friction between the banknotes
The frictional force between the feeding roller 16 and the bills and the separating roller 18 is much smaller than the frictional force, and slips occur between the bills. Therefore, when two bills are held between the storing / feeding roller 16 and the separating roller 18. , Storage / feeding roller 1
The rotation force from 6 is not transmitted to the separation roller 18.

In this case, the separating roller 18,
Shaft 39, gear 42, gear 43, 1-way clutch 121
Torque is not applied to the shaft 34 via the
The torque limiter 33 configured to cause slippage due to the torque difference between the gear 32 and the shaft 34 not exceeding a certain value does not occur between the gear 32 and the gear 32. Drive the torque limiter 3
3 to the shaft 34, and the rotational force of the shaft 34 in the clockwise direction in FIG. 6 is transmitted to the separation roller 18 via the one-way clutch 121, the gear 43, and the gear 42 in this order.
Is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. That is, when the dispensed bill sandwiched between the storing / feeding roller 16 and the separating roller 18 is double-fed, the separating roller 18 is rotated counterclockwise by the driving force from the torque limiter 33. As a result, only one of the two bills abutted on the separation roller 18 is returned to the stacking unit 20.

(8) As seen from FIGS. 3 and 4, the gear 26 is driven counterclockwise, whereby the gear 4 is moved through the shaft 25.
When 6 is rotated counterclockwise, as seen from FIG.
Is rotated clockwise, and the feed roller 19 is rotated clockwise while contacting the storage / feed roller 16a. Also, as shown in FIG. 10, when the shaft 25 is driven, the pulley 88 provided on the shaft 25 causes the shaft 87 to rotate in the same direction as the shaft 25 through the belt 90 and the pulley 89. 22 is rotated in the same direction as the storage / delivery rollers 16 and 16a fixed to the shaft 25. Then, the kick roller 22 is rotated.

(9) When the withdrawal process is completed, the transport path 1
00, the transport distribution mechanism unit 3 and the drive unit (not shown) that drives the gear 26 of the storage / feeding mechanism unit 1 are stopped, and the others are on standby at the dispensing position.

In the above embodiment, the deposit banknotes transported through the deposit path 5 are guided to the transport path 10 by the entrance opening / closing member 80, and then stored in the accumulating section 20 through the receiving and discharging port 10B. . The deposit banknotes are collected in the collecting unit 2
In the case of accepting 0, the link mechanism 53 is driven by the solenoid 70, the entrance opening / closing member 80 is arranged in a position where the entrance 10A is widened, and a part of the impeller 24 is moved, as shown in FIG. 9B. The banknotes are made to project to the stacking section 20, whereby the deposited banknotes are smoothly guided from the deposit path 5 to the transport path 10, and the deposited banknotes are stably fed from the transport path 10 to the stacking section 20. .

When the banknotes in the stacking unit 20 are to be dispensed, after the banknotes in the stacking unit 20 pass from the receiving / discharging port 10B through the transport path 10, they are transferred to the dispensing path 6 by the entrance / exit opening / closing member 80. Proposed. When the banknotes in the stacking unit 20 are dispensed, the link mechanism 53 is driven by the solenoid 70, and the entrance opening / closing member 80 is driven as shown in FIG. 9A.
Is placed at a position where the entrance / exit 10A is narrowed, and the impeller 2
4 is retracted from the stacking unit 20.
The dispensing banknotes are smoothly transported from the stacking unit 20 to the transport path 10 and from the transport path 10 to the dispensing path 6.

That is, according to the bill storing and feeding mechanism in the bill depositing / dispensing machine of the present invention, the common solenoid 70 and the link mechanism 53 are used, as shown in FIGS. 9 (a) and 9 (b). 80 and the impeller 24 can be moved to a position corresponding to deposit or withdrawal, and the impeller 24 can be moved by the drive transmission means for transmitting the driving force for rotating the storing and delivering roller and the separating roller at the depositing position. Since it can be driven, as in the past,
Since it is not necessary to provide a mechanism for individually moving the inlet / outlet opening / closing member 80 and the impeller 24 to the depositing position or the dispensing position, and a drive unit for driving only the impeller 24 at the depositing position, the entire apparatus is compact. The control can be simplified as well.

Further, in the above embodiment, at the time of deposit,
A part of the impeller 24 supported by the support member 35 is the accumulation unit 2
When it is positioned within 0, the impeller 24 is urged by the banknotes accumulated on the elevator unit 21 in the direction to be retracted from the accumulating unit 20, and the urged impeller 24 causes the support member 35 and the pin to be retracted. The rotating member 68 is rotated clockwise through the 85, the rotating member 83, and the shaft 67 as seen in FIG. 8B, but as shown in FIG.
Since the shaft 64 is positioned above the straight line connecting the shaft 69 and the shaft 63, the clockwise rotation of the shaft 67 is regulated, whereby the rotating member 68, the rotating member 83,
The impeller 24 is locked via the support member 35 and does not retract from the stacking unit 20. Further, it is conceivable that the bill opening / closing member 80 shown in FIG. 9A is urged toward the guide member 13 side by the bills fed out from the transport path 10 at the time of dispensing, as seen from FIG. 8A. Axis 56
The counterclockwise rotation of the shaft 54 is restricted by the position of the shaft 58 on the left side of the drawing, rather than on the straight line connecting the shaft 59 and the shaft 59.
The entrance opening / closing member 80 does not enter the guide member 13 side via the guide member 7.

That is, in the above embodiment, the link mechanism 5
Since the plurality of links that form 3 are arranged so as not to operate due to the force applied from the inlet / outlet opening / closing member 80 (when paying out) and the impeller 24 (when paying in), the impeller 24 accumulates banknotes. The door opening / closing member 80 and the impeller 24 do not move from a predetermined position due to a reaction when the paper money is fed into the unit 20 or a force when the banknote slides on the door opening / closing member 80. 8
The occurrence of banknote jams near 0 and the impeller 24 is prevented. The mechanism for restricting the movement of the entrance / exit opening / closing member 80 and the impeller 24 is the common link mechanism 5 of the entrance / exit opening / closing member 80 and the impeller 24.
Since it is incorporated in the third embodiment, it is not necessary to separately provide a mechanism for restricting the movements of the inlet / outlet opening / closing member 80 and the impeller 24 as in the conventional case, and also in this respect, the effect of making the entire apparatus compact can be obtained. .

[0071]

As described in detail above, according to the paper sheet feeding and feeding mechanism of the present invention, the sorting member and the impeller can be moved to the depositing position or the dispensing position by the common link mechanism. Therefore, unlike the conventional case, it is not necessary to provide a mechanism for individually moving the distributing member and the impeller to the depositing position or the dispensing position, and by providing the drive transmitting means, the storing and feeding roller and the separating roller are provided. Since the driving force from the drive of can be transmitted to the impeller and there is no need to newly provide a drive unit for driving the impeller at the depositing position, the entire device can be made compact and its control can be performed. It can be simplified.

Further, in the second aspect of the invention, the plurality of links forming the link mechanism are arranged in such a positional relationship that they do not operate by the force applied from the distribution member and the impeller side when the drive portion is not driven. Therefore, the sorting member and the impeller do not move from the predetermined positions due to the reaction when the impeller guides the paper sheets, or the force when the sheets slide on the sorting member, As a result, it is possible to prevent jamming of paper sheets from occurring near the distribution member and the impeller. Further, since the mechanism for restricting the movement of the distribution member and the impeller is incorporated in the common link mechanism of the distribution member and the impeller, the distribution member and the impeller are conventionally used. It is not necessary to separately provide a mechanism for restricting the movement of the device, and in this respect also, the effect of making the entire device compact can be obtained.
