Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sheet handling method and a sheet handling apparatus. As an application of the present invention, for example, a self-service financial terminal, or an automatic cash deposit payment apparatus (ATM) having a capability of providing a periodical account notification function in response to a request of a terminal user.
There is.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In the operation of known special purpose financial terminals,
The user inserts the customer identification card into the machine and enters some data (including personal identification number and desired transaction type) from one or more keyboards included on the machine's user control panel. If the desired transaction is a periodic billing notice, the machine prints the required information on a sheet and supplies it to the outlet of the user control panel for collection by the user.

A problem seen with the known financial terminals cited above is that if the requested display contains a large amount of information, it cannot be placed on a single sheet. In such a case, it is necessary to arrange information on two or more continuous sheets, continuously supply the information to the outlet of the user operation panel, and continuously collect the information by the user. From the user's point of view, two or more sheets are stacked and taken out in the same way as the cash dispensing mechanism of the automatic cash deposit and payment device supplies a plurality of bank notes that the user collects. It is more convenient if it is presented in the mouth.

Known stacking and feeding mechanisms for banknotes include a rotary stacking wheel consisting of a series of curved metal plates.
Looking at the operation, the bills are fed one by one to the stacking rotary wheel, and each bill enters between the adjacent metal plates and is carried while partially rotating around the stacking rotary shaft, and then stopped. It is taken out of the rotating wheel by the arm and stacked on the transfer means formed by the circulating sliding belt. After stacking, the transfer means feeds the stack of sheets to the exit position. The stacking wheels of this known mechanism operate at high speed and the mechanism is of somewhat complex construction.

The device 10 includes a support frame 22 having side plates 24 and 26. Extending to the rear of the device 10 (left hand end with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2) between the side plates 24 and 26 is a smooth guide plate 28, a set of three circulating sliding belts 30. Installed below and in cooperation with each other, each belt 30 passes around a respective rear pulley 32 and a respective front pulley 34. The rear pulley 32 is fixed to a drive shaft 36 extending between and rotatably mounted to the side walls 24 and 26, and the front pulley 34 is a shaft extending between the side walls 24 and 26. 38 is rotatably mounted. The drive shaft 36 is driven by a gear system (FIG. 1) which is connected to an electric motor 42 (FIG. 7) via a speed change means (not shown). The rear end of the guide plate 28 includes a downwardly inclined portion 42 (FIG. 2), and the inclined portion includes the guide plate 28 and the belt 3.
A take-in port is formed between 0, and the sheets from the printing / cutting unit 12 are supplied therein one by one during operation. The belt 30 supplies the sheets supplied from the printing / cutting unit 12 to the stacking area 43 one by one through the supply path between the belt 30 and the upper surface of the guide plate 28. The sheet has a rectangular shape and is supplied along the above-mentioned supply path with its short side oriented in a direction parallel to the moving direction along the supply path.

Still referring to FIGS. 4-6, in the stacking area 43, a stack holding plate 44, which is entirely parallel to the guide plate 28, is provided. Holding plate 4
4 is located lower than the outlet end of the above-mentioned supply path, and this end is in contact with the front end 45 of the guide plate 28. Holding plate 44
The rear end is attached with a lip 46 which continues upward (to the left-hand end with reference to FIGS. 2, 4, 5, and 6) and extends to a position facing the front end of the guide plate 28. The rod 48 is the side wall 24
And extends above shaft 30 and belt 30. 4 elastic deformable rubber strips 5
0 is fixed to the rod 48. The strips 50 are interspersed with the belt 30 as shown in FIG. The strip 50 extends downwardly from the bar 48 and the lower free end of the strip 50 is resilient to the upper surface of the retaining plate 44 as shown in FIG. 2 in the absence of a sheet on the retaining plate 44. Is pressed against. Also, as shown in FIGS. 2, 4, 5 and 6, each strip 50 passes through the rear side of the shaft 38 and partially around its outer circumference. In this embodiment, the strip 50 has a thickness of about 1 millimeter and is a Shore type "D".
Made of hard antistatic neoprene rubber with hardness 70.

As will be described in detail later, in the course of the operation cycle of the apparatus 10, the sheet bundle 18 is held by the holding plate 4.
Stacked on and held by this. The holding plate 44 is sized so that the front end portion of the stack of sheets 18 extends beyond the front end 52 of the holding plate 44 as shown in FIG. 4, the front end 52 being formed by the angled portion 53.
4 to the main holding portion. The device 10 has two downwardly extending arms 56 and also includes a stop member 54 adjustably mounted to a bracket 58 secured to the frame 22. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the stop member 54 is positioned such that the lower free end of the stop arm 56 is positioned on the lower front side slightly away from the front edge of the bundle 18 of sheets held by the holding plate 44. Is located. Therefore,
Since the arm 56 extends in a direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the sheet along the belt 30 and the guide plate 28, the arm 56 is used to define the front end of the stacking area 43.
Since the distance from the front end 45 of the guide plate 28 to the stop arm 56 is adjustable, the stacking area 43 can accommodate sheets of different sizes on the short side of the sheet. Such adjustments are performed using stop bolts 54 and through bolts 60 (FIG. 1) secured to an attached nut 62. The bolt 60 can be moved along the slot 64 of the bracket 58 by loosening the nut 62.

The upper and lower three sets of circulating sliding belts 66 and 68 are used to feed the stack of sheets 18 from the stacking area 43 to the exit position in the manner described in more detail below. FIG. 6 shows the bundle 18 located at the outlet. Each of the lower belts 68 passes around a respective rear pulley 70 and a respective front pulley 72. The front pulley 72 is fixed to a drive shaft 74 that extends between and is rotatably mounted between the side walls 24 and 26, and the rear pulley 70 includes the rear pulley 70.
It is rotatably mounted on a shaft 76 extending between 4 and 26. The rear pulley 70 is located below the front end 52 of the holding plate 44 with a slight distance. Each of the upper belts 66 passes around a respective front pulley 78 and a respective rear pulley 80. The front pulley 78 is fixed to a drive shaft 82 which extends between the side walls 24 and 26 and is rotatably mounted thereto. The rear pulley 80 extends between corresponding ends of a pair of arms 86 and 88 and is rotatably mounted on a shaft 84 carried thereby. Arms 86 and 88 are mounted inside sidewalls 24 and 26, respectively, with a slight clearance between them. The ends of the arms 86 and 88 far from the shaft 84 are attached to the drive shaft 82 so that the arms can pivot about the shaft 82.

Referring to FIG. 3, bolt 90 secured to arm 88 (FIG. 2) passes through an arcuate slot in side wall 26. A solenoid 94 having a horizontally extending armature 96 is mounted on the exterior surface of the sidewall 26. Arm 98
Has one end connected to the armature 96 so that it can swivel,
On the arm 98 to which the bolt 100 is attached, one end of the connecting member 102 extending downward and the connecting member 10 extending upward.
One end of 4 is attached so as to be rotatable. Coupling member 1
The lower end of 02 is pivotally mounted on a bolt 106 fixed to the side wall 26, and the upper end of the coupling member 104 is on the side wall 2.
6 is pivotally connected to the upper end of a bolt 90 extending outward. The tension spring 108 connects the end of the arm 98 on the side not connected to the armature 96 and the bolt 110 also fixed to the side wall 26. When the solenoid 94 is in a resting state, the spring 108 pushes the arm 98 to the right (see FIG. 3), the coupling member 102 pulls the stop member 112 fixed to the side wall 26, and the shaft of the bolt 100 moves to the position shown in FIG. Bolt 90
It is located on the right side of an imaginary line that connects the axis of B and the axis of the bolt 106.

When solenoid 94 is at rest, arms 86 and 88, which are supported by coupling members 102 and 104 via bolts 90, hold belt 66 away from the interlocking mechanism that cooperates with belt 68. This is shown in FIGS. 2, 4 and 6. When the solenoid 94 is energized, the arm 98 is pulled to the left (when referring to FIG. 3) side, and this movement of the arm 98 first causes the bolt 90 to move slightly upward, causing the coupling members 102 and 104 to move relative to each other. Stretch. Once the axis of the bolt 100 has moved to the left beyond the imaginary line connecting the bolts 106 and 90, the continuous leftward movement of the arm 98 causes the bolt 90 to move downwards along the slot 92, which movement occurs. Belt 6 this time
The assembly 114 including the arm 6, the arms 86 and 88, and the pulley 80 is rotated counterclockwise about the axis of the shaft 82 (see FIG. 2).
If you refer to) turn. The pivoting movement of assembly 114 continues until belt 66 is in a position to cooperate with belt 68 as shown in FIG. When the belts 66 and 68 are in the co-operating position, the pulley 80 is offset in front of the pulley 70 and the pressure exerted on the belt by the assembly 114 causes the belt 68 to deform slightly.

The guide plate 116 extends from the front surface of the user operation panel 14 through the front edge portion 118 of the frame 22. The outlet 20 is formed in the area of the pulley 72, and the guide plate 116 is provided with a cutout portion 120 to correspond to the members of the pulley 72 and the belt 68. The guide plate 116 includes a stepped portion 122 located slightly inside the front edge portion 118 of the frame 22. Shatter 124 is secured to arms 86 and 88 using connecting portion 126. As best shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the free end of the shutter 124 is formed as an inwardly bent portion 128. As shown in FIGS. 2, 4 and 6, when the belt assembly 114 is in the rest position, which corresponds to the solenoid 94 being in the rest position, the shutter 124 is located immediately after the outlet 20. The free end portion 128 that is bent inward is located slightly above the guide plate 116, on the upper side, and close to the stepped portion 122. Since the bent portion 128 is located near the stepped portion 122, the sheet bundle 18
When the sheet is discharged from the take-out port 20 as shown in FIG. 6, the sheet bundle in the area indicated by the arrow A in FIG. 6 is stepped. Due to the bent portion 128 and the guide plate 116, the bundle of sheets 18 is only held gently by the shutter 124, but due to the steps made in the bundle of sheets 18, the bundle is held by the shutter 124, Coping with careless movement of the bundle 18 due to wind or the like (when the user operation plate 14 is installed outdoors).

Drive shafts 82 and 74 for belts 66 and 68 are driven by gears 130 and 132, respectively (FIG. 1). This gear is connected to a reversible electric motor 134 (FIG. 7) via a speed change means (not shown). When the solenoid 94 is energized and the bundle of sheets 18 is held on the retaining plate 44 as shown in FIG. 4, the belt assembly 114 pivots counterclockwise and the leading end of the bundle 18 is visible. It acts to be gripped between belts 66 and 68 as shown in FIG. Thereafter, by exciting the motor in the appropriate direction, the belts 66 and 68 cause the stack of sheets 18 to be further removed from the user control plate 14 by the ATM user along the feeding path. It is supplied to the position shown.
At this time, the tip portion of the bundle 18 is placed on the guide plate 116 in the slot 20.
Are being supplied via.

Each of the three pinch rolls 136 (FIG. 4) cooperates with the belt 68 near the pulley 70. The position of the pinch roll 136 is immediately below the holding plate 44 and is adjacent to the front end 52 thereof. The discard container 138 for the uncollected sheets is located below the holding plate 44. Container 13
No. 8 has an opening 140 just below the pinch roll 136. If the ATM user fails to take out the bundle 18 of sheets from the user operation plate 14, the motor 134 operates in the reverse direction so that the belts 66 and 68 take the bundle 18 into the machine and pinch the bundle 18. It is supplied to the side where the roll 136 and the belt 68 contact. When the stack 18 of sheets reaches the roll 136, the stack 18 rolls onto the roll 136 and the belt 68.
Driven through opening 140 into waste container 138. The container 138 has a hinged portion that can be swung downward to remove the contents of the container 138.

The first optical detecting means 144 detects the passage of the printed sheets from the printing / cutting section 12 to the stacking area 43, and the second optical detecting means 146 is shown from the stacking area 43 to FIG. The passage of the sheet bundle to the collecting position is detected. The presence of the sheet bundle 18 at the collecting position is detected by the third optical detecting means 148. Discarding container 138 for a bundle 18 of sheets not collected
To the fourth detection means 150 and the presence of one or more sheets in the container 138 is detected by the fifth optical detection means 152 (FIG. 7). The ATM includes an electronic control unit 154, controls the operations of the printing / cutting unit 12, the motors 42 and 134, the solenoid 94, and receives the outputs of the detection units 144 to 152.

The operating cycle of device 10 will be described in more detail with further reference to FIG. Immediately before the ATM user requests a bank account bill, motors 42 and 134 and solenoid 94 are all de-energized. The user inserts the customer identification card into the card insertion port (not shown) of the user operation panel 14 and inputs appropriate data from the keyboard means (not shown) also included in the user operation panel 14. By doing so, the billing request is started. When the bill notification request is started, the electronic control unit 154 excites the motor 42 to drive the belt 30, and the print / cut unit 12 prints and cuts a plurality of sheets in which the bill status of the bank account is described. These sheets are one by one,
It is supplied to the intake port between the guide plate 28 and the belt 30 along the supply path 16. When the sheets reach the intake, they are gripped by the belt 30 and thereby fed onto the flat guide plate 28 to the stacking area 43.
After the leading edge of each sheet reaches the leading edge 45 of the guide plate 28, the free ends of the rubber strips press the sheets and bend them toward the upper surface of the retaining plate 44. At the point where the trailing edge of the sheet has passed the front end of the guide plate 28 and begins to separate from the belt 30, the sheet is rapidly decelerated by the strip 50, just before it was accumulated by the strip 50 against the holding surface 44 or in the stacking area 43. It is pressed flat against the sheet. In this regard, the rapid deceleration of each sheet is provided by the frictional properties of strip 50,
It should be understood that the coefficient of friction of each of the strips 50 is well above the coefficient of friction of the sheet. The pressing of each sheet by the rubber strips 50, and the resulting rapid deceleration of the sheets, causes the sheets to be held by the retaining plate 44 and the trailing edge of the sheets to remain a neat bundle a small distance from the lip 46. It ensures that the 18 can be stacked. The stop arm 56 extending downward has a rubber strip 50.
Restricts the forward movement of the sheet in the stacking area 43 which has not been sufficiently decelerated by. Thus, stop arm 56 also helps to ensure that the claimed billed printed sheets are stacked in ordered stack 18 in stacking area 43.

Subsequent to the completion of the stacking operation, the sheet stack 18 is held by the holding plate 44 and stacked in the stacking area 43.
Shaped inwardly, the leading edge of the bundle 18 advances beyond the leading end 52 of the retaining plate 44 and underlies the pulley 80. The detection means 144 sends a signal to the electronic control means 154 to indicate that the trailing edge of each sheet has moved past the detection means 144. Based on the amount of information included in the bill notification, the electronic control unit 154 determines the number of cut sheets forming a bundle of sheets collected by the customer. A short time after the trailing edge of the last sheet in the stack has passed the detection means 144, it is sufficient to complete the stacking operation, and the electronic control means 154 de-energizes the motor 42 and turns the supply belt 30 on. It is stopped and the solenoid 94 is excited. As described in detail above, the excitation of the solenoid causes the pivoting movement of the belt assembly 144, which results in a stack of sheets 18
The front edge of the belt is pressed downward, and as shown in FIG.
Grasp between 6 and 68. It should be understood that the angled portion 53 of the retaining plate 44 is to facilitate downward compression of the leading edge portion of the sheet bundle 18.

The trailing edge of the last sheet of the bundle 18 is the detecting means 1.
44 and then belts 66 and 6
A predetermined time after the front edge of the bundle 18 was gripped during 8
The electronic control means 154 energizes the motor 134 in an appropriate direction to cause the belts 66 and 68 to feed the bundle 18 of sheets toward the user operation panel 14, and the bundle 18 stops the arm 5.
Pass under the bottom edge of 6. After the front edge of the bundle 18 has passed the front end of the belt 68, the front edge of the bundle 18 moves toward the guide plate 1
16 is guided through the outlet 20. Bunch 1
After a predetermined time from the detection means 146 detecting the trailing edge of 8, the electronic control means 154 stops energizing the motor 134 and stops the supply belts 66 and 68. At the same time, the electronic control means 154 also stops the excitation of the solenoid 94.
After stopping the solenoid 94, the spring 108 (see FIG.
And 3) pull the arm 98 until the coupling member 102 articulates against the stop member 112. This forward movement of arm 98 causes an upward pivoting motion of belt assembly 114 to the rest position via coupling members 102 and 104, bolt 90, arm 88, which causes bow 90 on sidewall 26. It moves along the slot 92. During most of the return movement of the belt assembly 114 back to the rest position, the assembly 114 pivots clockwise about the axis 82 (see FIGS. 2-6). However, in the final stage of the returning operation, the assembly 114 slightly returns counterclockwise after the bolt 100 passes through the imaginary line connecting the cores of the bolts 90 and 106. Following completion of the return movement of the belt assembly 114 to the rest position by the action of the spring 108, the stack of sheets 18 is placed in the position shown in FIG.
The front edge of the bundle 18 projects from the outlet,
Is held gently in that position by the shutter 124. The bundle 18 is ready for removal from the user control panel 14 by the ATM user. Belt assembly 1
When 14 is in the rest position, the shutter 124 is located in a basic position just behind the outlet 20 to prevent dust or other debris from entering the interior of the device 10. Bolt 100 is bolt 90
By being located on the front side of the fictitious line connecting the centers of the shutters 106 and 106 (a position beyond the center), the destroyer applies an upward force to the terminal end 128 of the shutter 124 to move the shutter 124 from the basic position. It is impossible to move.

The presence of the sheet bundle 18 in the collecting position as shown in FIG. 6 is detected by the optical detecting means 148. If the bundle 18 is not removed from the user control panel within a predetermined time, the electronic control means 154 causes the solenoid 94
After re-energizing the belt and returning the belt 66 to its cooperating position with respect to the belt 68, the motor 134 is energized in the reverse direction and both belts 66 and 68 are also collected by the pinch roll 136 and belt 68. The missing bundles are returned to the interior of device 10 and fed through opening 140 into waste container 138. Container 1 of bundle not collected
The passage into 38 is detected by the detection means 150.
After the detection means 150 detects the trailing edge of the uncollected bundle, the electronic control means 154 stops the energization of the motor 134 to stop the supply belts 66 and 68, and the solenoid 98 to stop the belt assembly. Allows the Lee 114 to return to the rest position. The detection unit 152 detects whether one or more sheets are present inside the container 138. After emptying the contents of the container 138, the detection means 152
Will detect the first stack of sheets stored in the empty container 138. After this, the electronic control means 154 counts how many sheets have been stored since the container 138 was last emptied. When the electronic control unit 154 detects that a predetermined number of sheets or more are present in the container 138,
Electronic control means 154 produces a BIN FULL signal on line 156 (FIG. 7). This signal provides an indication that the container 138 needs to be emptied and serves to prevent further operation of the device 10 before the container 138 is empty.

It should be understood that the apparatus 10 described above represents a low cost, simple and effective means for stacking multiple sheets into a stack and feeding the stack to the outlet location.
