Reference numeral 62 designates a pair of left and right open / close arms that open and close in the horizontal direction for collecting the collected banknotes on the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101 on the first stage 18. As described below, it is driven by a mechanism that moves up and down and a mechanism that opens and closes.

FIGS. 7, 9, and 11 are plan views of the main part of the batch cassette 15, in which FIG. 7 shows the state in which the opening / closing arm 62 is at the uppermost position of the vertical movement range, that is, the home position, and FIG. The opening / closing arm 62 is lowered to the vicinity of the bills 63 accumulated on the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101, and FIG. 11 is a state where the opening / closing arm 62 is lowered to the lower side of the second stage 61. FIGS. 8, 10, and 12 are side views corresponding to FIGS. 7, 9, and 11, respectively, and FIG. 13 shows that the opening / closing arm 62 is integrated on the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101. It is a side view which shows the state which lifted the bill 63 and which returned, and returned to the home position.

As shown in these figures, the second stage 61 is rotatably supported around a fulcrum 65 provided at the end of the banknote collecting step 64 side, which will be described later, and is supported on the lower surface side. The spring 66 is provided so as to bias the free end side so that the free end side is lifted. Then, the sub-stage 101 is tilted so as to be substantially opposite to the tilt direction of the second stage 61, that is, tilted so that the tip of the collected banknotes in the traveling direction is lowered, and the sub-stage 101 is moved from the middle of the second stage 61 to the fixed end. Is provided so as to extend to the side, and is rotatably supported by shafts 102 provided on both sides in the middle of the second stage 61 as a fulcrum, and a free end side floats up by a spring 103 provided on the lower surface side. Is so urged. With such a configuration of the sub-stage 101 and the second stage 61, the collected banknotes fed by the collected banknote stacking means 64 are always stacked in a horizontal state, and are stacked. Due to the weight of the bill, the sub-stage 101 and the second stage 61 gradually become horizontal against the biasing force of the springs 66 and 103.

Bottom plates 67 are provided on both sides of the free end side of the second stage 61 to guide the front end and left and right end positions of the bill 63 on the second stage 61 and the sub stage 101 in the traveling direction. The bottom plate 67 is formed in a shape or structure that does not hinder the operation when the opening / closing arm 62 is closed and the bill 63 on the second stage 61 is lifted.

Further, a stopper 68 is arranged at a position between the second stage 61 and the bottom plate 67 so as to extend in the vertical direction, and this stopper 68 is provided by the collected bill stacking means 64. The tip positions of the bills 63 accumulated on the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101 are regulated. The collected bill stacking means 64 is formed by vertically arranging the feed belts 3 and 4 wound around pulleys attached to two parallel shafts.

On the other hand, the bases of the pair of opening / closing arms 62 of the conventional example are attached to the holders 69 arranged on both sides of the collected bill stacking means 64 via the shafts 70 to collect the collected bills. The means 64 can rotate and open and close about a shaft 70 in a horizontal direction orthogonal to the feeding direction of bills and is biased by a torsion spring 71 in a closing direction indicated by an arrow M. ing.

Rollers 72, 73 facing each other are rotatably supported by the holder 69. By fitting the rollers 72, 73 to vertically extending guide rails 74, 75, respectively. , And guides when the open / close arm 62 moves up and down integrally with the holder 69. A first scoop block 76 and a second scoop block 77 are attached to the lower surface of each opening / closing arm 62 so as to rotate about axes 78 and 79. The first scoop block 76 is a leaf spring. The second scoop block 77 is urged in the direction indicated by the arrow N by 80, and the second scoop block 77 is urged by the torsion spring 81 in the direction of the arrow O, and the stopper plate 82 corresponding to the second scoop block 77 is urged. Are located outside the bottom plate 67.

Next, a vertical movement mechanism for vertically moving the opening / closing arm 62 integrally with the holder 69 and an arm opening / closing mechanism for opening / closing the opening / closing arm 62 will be described. The vertical movement mechanism and the arm opening / closing mechanism are symmetrical. Therefore, only the one side shown in FIGS. 8, 10, and 12 will be described here. That is, the vertical movement mechanism is composed of a pulley 83 that rotates using a motor (not shown) as a drive source, a pulley 84 arranged below the pulley 83, and a belt 85 wound around the pulleys 83 and 84. A part of the belt 85 is fixed by being sandwiched between a holder 69 and a belt clamp 86 attached to the holder 69 with a screw.

Therefore, by rotating the pulley 83 clockwise or counterclockwise to drive the belt 85, the opening / closing arm 62 moves up and down integrally with the holder 69. Further, the arm opening / closing mechanism is configured as shown in detail in the perspective views of FIGS. 14, 15 and 16 (a), in which FIG. 14 is a state before opening the opening / closing arm 62, and FIG. FIG. 16A is a perspective view illustrating a state when the open / close arm 62 is opened, and FIG.

As shown in these drawings, the arm opening / closing mechanism includes a cam lever 88 that rotates about a shaft 87 attached to a holder 69, a roller 89 that is rotatably supported at one end of the cam lever 88, and the roller 89. And an open cam 90 for rotating the cam lever 88 via the cam. The cam lever 88 is biased in the direction of arrow P by a torsion spring (not shown), and the open cam 90 is extended as shown in FIG. Has a height l and is arranged so as to extend in the vertical direction.

In this structure, when the holder 69 is lowered together with the opening / closing arm 62, the roller 89 is engaged with the open cam 90 at a predetermined position to press the cam lever 88 and rotate in the arrow P direction shown in FIG. Since the other end of the open / close arm 62 is pressed by the other end, the open / close arm 62 rotates in the direction opposite to the arrow M and opens in opposition to the torsion spring 71. The opening operation of the opening / closing arm 62 starts at a position slightly above (about 5 mm) with respect to the allowable maximum number of banknotes 63 accumulated on the second stage 61, and has an opening length of l. The open state of the opening / closing arm 62 is maintained while the roller 89 is engaged with the cam 90. The opening operation of the opening / closing arm 62 will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 17 is a plan view showing a process when the opening / closing arm 62 is opened. The opening / closing arm 62 is opened from the position 62a to the position 62b, and further opened to the position 62c to feed the bills 63 by the collected bill collecting means 64. The direction is parallel to. At this time, the first scoop block 76 is oriented in a direction orthogonal to the feeding direction of the bills 63 by the collected bill stacking means 64 when the opening / closing arm 62 is at the position 62a, and when the opening / closing arm 62 is opened to the position 62b, the outer end is opened. The part hits the holder 69, and as the opening / closing arm 62 further opens to the position 62c, it is pressed by the holder 69 and rotates against the plate panel 80 to enter the inside of the opening / closing arm 62.

Further, when the opening / closing arm 62 is opened from the position 62a to the position 62b, the second scoop block 77 is oriented in a direction parallel to the feeding direction of the bills 63 by the collected bill stacking means 64 when the tip of the second scoop block 77 hits the stopper plate 82. Then, as the opening / closing arm 62 further opens to the position 62c, it rotates against the torsion spring 81 and changes along the stopper plate 82.

When the holder 69 is lowered integrally with the opening / closing arm 62 and the roller 89 is disengaged from the open cam 90, the opening / closing arm 62 is again rotated in the direction of the arrow M by the urging force of the torsion spring 71 to be closed. The first scoop block 76 and the second scoop block 77 also return to their original positions by the biasing forces of the leaf spring 80 and the torsion spring 81, respectively.

The closing position of the opening / closing arm 62 is below the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101, and the length l of the open cam 90 is set so that the opening / closing arm 62 opens and closes in this way. There is. On the other hand, when the holder 69 rises integrally with the opening / closing arm 62, the roller 89 engages with the open cam 90, but the rotating direction of the cam lever 88 at this time is opposite to the arrow P as shown in FIG. 16 (b). Since it is in the direction of the arrow Q, the opening / closing arm 62 holds the closed state and rises as shown in FIG.

The opening / closing arm 62 operates in this way, and its position change is detected by the sensors 91, 92, and 93, which are composed of the light emitting element and the light receiving element shown in FIGS. That is, the sensors 91 and 92 detect the closed state of the open / close arm 62, and the sensor 93 detects via the holder 69 that the open / close arm 62 has returned to the home position.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described. First, the supply of banknotes will be described. For the supply of banknotes from the batch cassette 15 to the denomination cassettes 33, 34 and 35, the banknotes are loaded into the denomination cassettes 33, 34 and 35 at the start of operation of the automatic transaction device (not shown). There are cases where the banknotes in the denomination-based cassettes 33, 34, and 35 run short in the middle of operation, and there are cases where the banknotes are replenished.

When loading banknotes such as when the operation of the automatic transaction apparatus is started, the clerk carries the batch cassette 15 and the reject cassette 16 from the original side to the automatic transaction apparatus. At this time, the reject cassette 16 is in an empty state, but banknotes of each denomination necessary for the transaction are previously stored in the collective storage portion 17 of the batch cassette 15. The clerk opens the rear door of the automated teller machine, further opens the door 52 to set the batch cassette 15 and the reject cassette 16, then closes the door 52, and loads banknotes by the operation key of the internal operation unit (not shown). When an instruction is input, the bill loading operation of the bill depositing / dispensing device is started based on the instruction.

The loading operation will be described below with reference to FIG. 4. First, the bill feeding means 22 is operated to feed the bills accumulated on the first stage 18 one by one in order from the top. The transport route 51 transports the route indicated by the arrow and sends it to the discrimination unit 13. The discriminating section 13 sequentially discriminates the sent banknotes for authenticity, denomination, discrimination, and damage, and detects the presence / absence of abnormal traveling and sends the bills backward.

Of the bills sent out, bills that can be loaded for withdrawal using genuine 1,000-yen bills are sent to the bill-type bill stacking mechanism 39 by operating the switching blade 14h, and then the bills of the bill-type cassette 33. Directly collected on the stage 36. Bills that can be loaded for withdrawal are genuine 10,000-yen bills and are sent to the denomination-based bill stacking mechanism 40 or 41 by operating the switching blade 14i or 14j and directly to the stage 37 or 38 of the denomination-based cassette 34 or 35. Accumulate.

This operation is repeated until the bills set on the first stage 18 are exhausted and the end detector 25a detects the bills, but one of the stacked stages 36, 37, 38 is withheld. When the permissible value (for example, 100 sheets) is reached, the operation of the bill feeding means 22 is interrupted, and the stage of the cassette that has reached the permissible holding value is lowered by the motor (not shown) by the amount corresponding to the permissible holding value. When the bill is lowered, the bill feeding means 22 is operated again to repeat the bill loading operation.

When the banknotes on the first stage 18 of the batch cassette 15 are exhausted and the end detector 25a detects the end, the banknote payout means 22 is stopped, and the last banknote is the stage 36 of the denomination cassettes 33 to 35. When it reaches any one of the positions 38 to 38, the transport operation by the transport path 51 also stops. Finally, the stages 36 to 38 of the denomination cassettes 33 to 35 are lowered all at once, the bills accumulated on the stages 36 to 38 are stored in the denomination cassettes 33 to 35, and the bill loading operation is completed.

The banknotes classified as unknown denominations by the classification unit 13 or the banknotes whose abnormal running is detected are operated by the switching blades 14e and 14f to be sent to the supply reject paper money stacking means 24 to be supplied reject banknotes. Collect in the storage 23. When the full detectors 49c and 50c of the denomination cassettes 34 and 35 or the full detector 48c of the denomination cassette 33 detect full during the bill loading operation, the switching blade 14e is operated to collect the collected bills. After being fed between the feed belts 3 and 4 of the stacking unit 64 and stacked on the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101, the bills are transferred onto the first stage 18 by the opening / closing arm 62. Will be explained in detail.

In this way, after the coins are sent from the batch cassette 15 to the denomination-based cassettes 33, 34, and 35 and loaded, the transaction with the customer is performed by the automatic transaction device, and the transaction is accompanied. Although the bill depositing / dispensing device performs depositing / dispensing processing of bills, its processing operation is not particularly important, and therefore its explanation is omitted. The banknotes in the denomination cassettes 33, 34, and 35 are reduced due to the repeated deposit and withdrawal transactions, and one of the end detectors 48a, 49a, and 50a detects the end, or the near-end detectors 48b and 49b, When the near end is detected by 50b, the clerk is notified from the automatic transaction device to replenish the bills, and at the same time, the denomination data of the insufficient bills to be replenished is also notified.

As a result, the clerk replenishes the bill in the following procedure. First, the clerk carries the banknote of the denomination data from the origin to the automatic transaction device, and opens the rear door of the automatic transaction device. At this time, since the batch storage unit 17 in the batch cassette 15 is empty or the banknotes of the denomination different from the denomination to be replenished are accumulated on the first stage 18, the first stage 18 18 is located between the E position shown in FIG. 6B or this E position and the home position I position.

Therefore, when the clerk opens the rear door of the automatic transaction apparatus as described above, the open state is detected by the control unit 60 by a signal from a detector (not shown), and is not shown based on the instruction of the control unit. The motor moves the first stage 18 to the I position. Thereafter, the clerk opens the banknote cassette door 15a of the batch cassette 15 by the inspection key as shown in the figure, and places the banknotes carried from the original side on the first stage 18.

After closing the bill entry / exit door 15a, a bill replenishment instruction is input by an operation key of an internal operation unit (not shown). Since this bill replenishment processing operation is performed in the same manner as the above-described bill loading operation, a description of the replenishment processing operation itself will be omitted here. The operation when or becomes full will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 18 is an operation process diagram showing the operation of transposing banknotes by the opening / closing arm 62. First, when the full detectors 48c, 49c, 50c of the denomination cassettes 33, 34, 35 detect full, the bill feeding means 22 separates the bills one by one, and the bills passed through the discriminating unit 13 are switched to the blade 14e. Is operated to guide between the feeding belts 3 and 4 to the collected bill collecting means 64.

The feed belts 3 and 4 sequentially feed the bills 63 guided by the switching blade 14e onto the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101 to accumulate them. As the number of stacked sheets increases, the weight of the second stage 61 balances the spring 66 with the second stage 61, and the spring 103 balances with the sub-stage 101. The free ends of the stage 101 rotate with respect to each other with the shaft 102 as a fulcrum. As a result, the uppermost position of the banknotes accumulated on the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101 is always held at a fixed position.

At this time, the opening / closing arm 62 is located at the home position shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, and the end portion of the opening / closing arm 62 faces the feeding direction of the bills 63 accumulated by the collected bill accumulation means 64. Since the bills 63 have no curl or crease, the bills 63 do not hit the open / close arm 62, and therefore the bills 63 are aligned and accumulated on the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101 without folding. To be done.

Then, as shown in FIG. 18A, when a predetermined number (for example, 100) of banknotes 63 are stacked on the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101, the banknote payout means 22 The feeding of the bills from the first stage 18 by the denomination, or the feeding of the bills from the denomination cassettes 33 to 35 by the denomination bill separating mechanisms 45 to 47 is stopped, and after the stop, the pulley 83 of the vertical movement mechanism rotates. When the belt 85 is driven, the opening / closing arm 62 descends together with the holder 69, and the roller 89 of the arm opening / closing mechanism engages with the open cam 90 in association with the lowering of the holder 69. 15 and 16, the opening / closing arm 62 is located in the vicinity of the second stage 61 and the uppermost bill 63 on the sub-stage 101, as shown in FIGS. The banknotes 63 are opened as shown in FIG. 2 and passed on both sides of the bills 63 accumulated on the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101.

After that, when the opening / closing arm 62 reaches the position below the second stage 61 and the roller 89 is disengaged from the open cam 90, the opening / closing arm 62 is closed as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12. When the sensors 91 and 92 detect this, the rotation of the pool 83 is stopped based on the detection. Further, when the pulley 83 rotates in the opposite direction to drive the belt 85, the open / close arm 62 rises integrally with the holder 69 as shown in FIG. 18B.

At this time of raising, since the open / close arm 62 is kept in the closed state as described in FIG. 16, the open / close arm 62 lifts the bill 63 on the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101, and It goes up to the home position as shown in. When the opening / closing arm 62 rises to the home position, the holder 69 is detected by the sensor 93, the rotation of the pulley 83 is stopped based on the detection, and the opening / closing arm 62 waits with the bill 63 raised.

As a result, the banknotes can be accumulated again on the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101, so that the banknotes 63 can be fed from the first stage 18 or the banknotes from the denomination cassettes 33 to 35. When the feeding of 63 is restarted and the bills 63 are sent to the collected bill stacking means 64 through the discrimination unit 13, the collected bill stacking group 64 sequentially deposits the bills 63 on the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101. Accumulate.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 18C, when a predetermined number of banknotes 63 are stacked again, the banknotes 63 are fed from the first stage 16 or the denomination cassette. The feeding of the bills 63 from 33 to 35 is stopped, and after the stop, the opening / closing arm 62 descends and opens in the same manner as described above, and the bills 63 that have been lifted up to that point are accumulated on the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101. The bills 63 are dropped and stacked.

At this time, the opening position of the opening / closing arm 62 is near the uppermost position of the bills 63 stacked on the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101 as described above. Then, the open / close arm 62 further moves down to pass both sides of the bill 63, and when the open / close arm 62 reaches the position below the second stage 61, the roller 89 is opened. It comes off from the cam 90. As a result, the opening / closing arm 62 is closed in the same manner as described above as shown in FIG. 18D, and when the sensors 91 and 92 detect this, the rotation of the pulley 83 is stopped based on the detection.

After that, the pulley 83 rotates in the opposite direction to drive the belt 85, so that the opening / closing arm 62 rises together with the holder 69. At this time, the opening / closing arm 62 moves as described above. Similarly, since the closed state is maintained, the opening / closing arm 62 raises the bill 63 on the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101 as it rises, and when it rises to the home position, the holder 69 is detected by the sensor 93. Based on this, the rotation of the pulley 83 is stopped, and the opening / closing arm 62 stands by with the bill 63 raised.

In this state, the payout of the bill 63 on the first stage 18 or the payout of the bill 63 from the denomination-based cassettes 33 to 35 is restarted. The above operation is repeated until the bills 63 on the first stage 18 or in the denomination cassettes 33 to 35 are exhausted. When the bills 63 on the first stage 18 or in the denomination-based cassettes 33 to 35 are exhausted, the operation of the bill feeding means 22 or the denomination-based bill separating mechanisms 45 to 47 is stopped, and the first stage 18 is operated as shown in FIG. As shown in (b), it rotates from position E to position F and changes to a vertical state, then descends to position G and waits.

When all the counted bills 63 that have passed through the discriminating section 13 are accumulated on the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101, the opening / closing arm 62 descends and opens in the same manner as described above. After the banknotes 63 that have been lifted up are stacked on the banknotes 63 on the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101, the opening / closing arm 62 descends to a position below the second stage 61 and closes, and further opens and closes. The arm 62 rises, and with this rise, the bill 63 on the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101 is lifted by the opening / closing arm 62 in the same manner as described above.

Here, the first stage 18 rotates from the position G, and as shown in FIG. 18E, the position H between the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101 and the opening / closing arm 62. In the horizontal state as described above, the opening / closing arm 62 descends and opens, and the bill 63 lifted by the opening / closing arm 62 is transferred onto the first stage 18.

The banknotes fed out from the batch storage unit 17 by the above operation are stored again in the batch storage unit 17 through the discrimination unit 13, and the stored banknotes are later returned to the denomination cassette 33 as necessary. , 34, 35 are replenished. Next, the collection of banknotes performed at the time of close inspection will be described with reference to FIG. When a clerk opens the rear door of the automatic transaction device (not shown) at the time of close inspection and inputs a recovery instruction using the operation keys of the internal operation unit, the recovery operation of the banknote deposit / withdrawal device is started based on this.

First, the denomination-based bill separating mechanism 47 is operated to separate the bills stored in the denomination-based cassette 35 one by one from the upper side, and the bills are fed out. Transport to. The discriminating section 13 discriminates the denomination of the conveyed bills, detects the presence / absence of abnormal traveling, and sends the bills backward.

Then, the banknotes in which the abnormal traveling is detected by the discrimination section 13 are sent to the reject banknote stacking means 30 by operating the switching blade 14g, and are stacked in the reject banknote storage section 28. As a result of the discrimination, normal bills are guided between the feed belts 3 and 4 of the collected bill stacking means 64 by operating the switching blade 14e, and the feed belts 3 and 4 cause the bills on the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101 to rise. Sequentially accumulate.

This operation is repeated until the banknotes in the denomination cassette 35 are exhausted. However, if the number of stacked sheets on the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101 reaches the stacking allowable value, the denomination-based banknote separating mechanism is operated. The operation of 47 is interrupted, and the operation of FIG. 18 described at the time of the supplement operation is performed. When the end detector 50a of the denomination cassette 35 detects the end, the stored banknotes are fed out from the denomination cassette 34, and are sequentially accumulated on the reject banknote storage unit 28 or the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101 as described above. Let

Similarly, when the end detector 49a of the denomination cassette 34 detects the end, the stored banknotes are fed out from the denomination cassette 33, and the reject banknote storage unit 28 or the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101 are placed. Sequentially accumulate. Of course, when the number of stacked bills on the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101 reaches the stacking allowable value during the stacking of these banknotes, the operation of the bill-type banknote separating mechanism 47 is interrupted and explained at the time of the refilling operation. The operation shown in FIG. 18 is performed.

In this way, the 10,000-yen banknotes and the 1,000-yen banknotes of the denomination-based cassettes 35, 34, and 33 are sequentially stacked on the first stage 18 of the batch storage unit 17, and during this collecting operation. The discriminating unit 13 counts the number of bills fed into the batch storage unit 17, and when the storage amount reaches the allowable storage amount, the collection operation is interrupted and “Batch cassette full” is displayed on the display of the internal operation unit to notify the staff. Instruct to collect the banknotes from the batch cassette 15.

Since the allowable storage amount of the collected banknotes in the batch storage unit 17 varies depending on the amount of the banknotes accumulated on the first stage 18 at the start of the recovery, a detector (not shown) is used to detect the collected banknotes before the banknote recovery process. The height of the first stage 18 is detected, the amount of accumulated banknotes on the first stage 18 is calculated from this, and this is subtracted from the amount stored in the batch storage unit 17 to determine the storage allowable amount of the recovered banknotes. .

When “Batch cassette full” is displayed, the clerk opens the banknote input / output door 15a to take out all the banknotes in the batch storage unit 17, and then closes the banknote input / output door 15a to restart the collecting operation. . As described above, the collecting operation is performed until all of the denomination cassettes 35, 34, and 33 detect the end, and when the last bill arrives at the batch storage unit 17, the conveying operation by the conveying path 51 is stopped and the collecting is performed. After the operation is completed, the clerk opens the door 52, removes the batch cassette 15 and the reject cassette 16, and transports the batch cassette 15 and the reject cassette 16 to the person who performs the close inspection.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the above-mentioned conventional batch storage has the following problems. 19 (a) to 19 (c) are explanatory views showing the problems of the conventional example, in which the bills 63 accumulated on the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101 are transferred on the first stage 18. Shows some.

FIG. 10A shows that the bills 63 accumulated on the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101 have reached the stacking limit number, and therefore, the bills 63 must be opened and closed in order to be reloaded on the first stage 18. The operation of opening the arm 62 and moving it downward through both sides of the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101 is shown. At this time, the operation is performed on the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101. If one of the lowermost ones of the bills 63 is worn out and the waist becomes weak, as shown in the figure, both ends in the longitudinal direction hang down from the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101. It may happen that That is, as shown in FIG. 9 of the conventional example, the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101 are provided with a large width of a predetermined width with respect to the substantially central portion of the bill 63, and the ends in the longitudinal direction are not provided. A bottom plate 67 is arranged in the section, but both the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101 are supported by the biasing means in a tilted state, and only when a predetermined number of banknotes are stacked. Both ends of the bill 63 are supported by the bottom plate 67. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 7A, the bills 63 accumulated on the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101, which have not descended to the position of the bottom plate 67, have neither ends supported at all. Moreover, if the waist is weakened, it will hang downward from the second stage 61.

The second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101 have a structure in which the open / close arm 62 allows both sides of the open / close arm 62 to pass when the stacked paper 63 is lifted by the open / close arm 62. In addition, the area of the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101 cannot be increased further. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7B, the banknotes hung downward from the second stage and the sub-stage 101 have the opening / closing arm 62 when the opening / closing arm 62 closes on the lower surface side of the second stage 61. However, a state occurs in which the bill 63 is pushed toward the second stage and the sub stage 101, and is sandwiched between the opening / closing arm 62 and the second stage 61. Then, in this state, when the opening / closing arm 62 is raised to lift the bill 63, the opening / closing arm 62 cannot reliably support the bill 63 as shown in FIG. There is a risk that the banknotes that hang down and interfere with the banknotes accumulated on the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101. That is, when the bill feeding operation is restarted and the bills 63 are piled up again on the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101 by the collected bill stacking means, the leading edge of the bills hanging from the opening / closing arm 62. There was a problem that the lower end portion of the 63 collides with each other and a bill jam is generated.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and one of the lowermost layers of the bills 63 accumulated on the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101 becomes weak. As a result, it drops from the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101, and when it is lifted by the opening / closing arm 62, it cannot be supported by the opening / closing arm 62 and hangs downward. It is possible to prevent a jam that has occurred during the stacking operation and to provide a reliable batch storage without colliding with the bills sent to the stage 61 and the sub-stage 101 and interfering with the stacking operation. It is intended.

[0070]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is provided in the banknote depositing / dispensing device and is capable of vertically moving in order to supply and recover the banknotes to / from the banknote depositing / dispensing device provided in the banknote depositing / dispensing device. A first stage for banknote stacking, which is possible and rotates so as to be in a substantially horizontal and vertical state with one end as a center, and a banknote payout means for paying out the banknotes on the first stage into the banknote pay-in / pay-out device. And a second stage for temporary collection of collected banknotes arranged below the operation range of the first stage, and both side surfaces of the center of the second stage as pivot points, The sub stage that extends to the rear end side in the direction and is arranged above the second stage, and temporarily collects the collected banknotes together with the second stage, and the discrimination unit provided in the banknote depositing / dispensing device. Collected banknotes sent Collected banknote stacking means for sandwiching and transporting and stacking on the second stage and sub-stage, and a pair of opening and closing for lifting a fixed number of banknotes on the second stage and sub-stage The arm and the opening / closing arm are moved up and down between a position above the height of a predetermined number of banknotes accumulated on the second stage and the substage and a position below the second stage. The vertical movement mechanism and the opening / closing arm are opened near the uppermost banknotes accumulated on the second stage and the sub-stage when the opening / closing arm is lowered, and the opening / closing arm is closed at a position below the second stage. , In a collective storage equipped with an arm opening / closing mechanism that holds a closed state when the opening / closing arm is raised, from the both ends of the sub-stage, Both ends of the lowermost layer of the collected banknotes collected from the second stage and the sub-stages have a force that horizontally extends a predetermined length in the intersecting direction and keeps the extended part horizontal. It has flexibility that is stronger than the force to hang down and weaker than the force that the open / close arm rises when lifting the stacked banknotes, so that both ends of the stacked banknotes are separated from the second stage and the sub-stage. A bill drooping prevention guide for preventing the drooping of the bill is provided by being fixed on the sub-stage with an adhesive.

[0071]

[Action]

 According to the configuration described above, even if the bills accumulated on the second stage and the sub-stage are both worn out and their waists are weakened, the bills on the sub-stage are likely to hang down. Has a stronger force to keep it horizontally than the force it is going to hang, the bill droop prevention guide is fixed, so the bill will not hang downward from this second stage and substage. .

Therefore, even when the banknotes accumulated by the opening / closing arms are opened / closed on the lower side of the second stage, since the banknotes are not hanging down, they are not sandwiched between the opening / closing arm and the second stage. Since this bill drooping prevention guide has flexibility with a force that is weaker than the force that the opening / closing arm rises, it does not interfere with the bill drooping prevention guide when the opening / closing arm lifts the bill. However, since the bill drooping prevention guide is deformed in the direction away from the lifting operation, it does not hinder the lifting of the opening / closing arm.

Therefore, the opening / closing arm can reliably lift all the accumulated banknotes, and the banknotes will not be hung down without being lifted up. Therefore, the second stage and the substage will not be lifted. It does not interfere with the banknotes accumulated in the stack and does not cause jams. As a result, it is possible to achieve the purpose of providing a collective storage that prevents jamming and enables reliable stacking operation.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view of a main part showing a structure of a batch cassette in a bill depositing / dispensing apparatus, FIG. 2 is a side view thereof, and FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing an action of the bill drooping prevention guide shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. .

In this embodiment, the configuration other than the banknote drooping prevention guide shown below is the same as that of the conventional one shown in FIGS. 4 to 19, and thus the same components are designated by the same reference numerals. And its description is omitted. Further, the bill depositing / dispensing apparatus to which the batch cassette of this embodiment is applied is the same as that shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

1 to 3, reference numeral 104 is made of a flexible material such as a film, and is fed by the collecting and accumulating means 64 to be accumulated on the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101. It is a bill drooping prevention guide attached on the sub-stage 101 in order to prevent the lowermost layer of the bill 63 from hanging, and has a substantially trapezoidal shape as shown in FIG. 1, and the bottom side is the free end side of the sub-stage 101. And the upper side is fixed to the fixed end side of the sub-stage 101 with an adhesive.

When the opening / closing arm 62 is closed below the second stage 61, the bill drooping prevention guide 104 has a small tip edge of the first scoop block 76 attached to the second stage 61. Has a shape that does not interfere with the main body of the opening / closing arm 62 at all. Further, the bill drooping prevention guide 104 has the following properties.

First, as a first property, in a state in which the banknote sag prevention guide 104 is fixed on the sub-stage 101, the end protruding from the sub-stage 101 tries to keep horizontal without hanging. With respect to the force and the force of the end of a used banknote that has lost its waist to hang down, the former force to keep the banknote dripping prevention guide 104 horizontal is greater.

As a second property, the force (A) for keeping the bill drooping prevention guide 104 horizontal and the force (C) for lifting and raising the bills on which the open / close arms 62 are stacked are as follows. The latter ascending force (C) is greater. By having such a property, the banknote drooping prevention guide 104 of this embodiment has a large number of banknotes 63 sent from the collected banknote stacking means 64 stacked on the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101. In this case, since the force to keep the bill horizontally is strong, even if the bills are going to hang downward at both end portions separated from the sub-stage 101, they are supported from the lower surface side to prevent the bills from hanging down. When the opening / closing arm 62 lifts it up after the stacking is completed, the central portion of the banknote sag prevention guide 104 is fixed to the sub-stage 101, and the opening / closing arm 62 rises at both ends apart from the sub-stage 101. Since it has a flexibility weaker than the force (C), the banknote sag prevention guide 104 is bent and gradually separated from the first scoop block 76, and only the banknote 63 is lifted by the opening / closing arm 62. I will go.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described. Note that the bill 63 fed by the bill feeding means 22 from the first stage 18 at the time of feeding bills is stored in the denomination cassettes 33 to 35, and the denomination cassettes 33 to 35 are fully detected. The operation until the excessively supplied bills 63 are sent to the collected bill stacking unit 64 of the batch cassette 15, and the bills fed from the denomination cassettes 33 to 35 at the time of bill collection are also collected bill collecting unit 64. Since the operation until it is sent to the banknote is the same as the conventional one, the operation of the bill drooping prevention guide 104 will be mainly described here.

When the collected bills 63 at the time of supplying bills and collecting bills are fed between the feeding belts 3 and 4 of the collecting bill stacking means 64 as shown in FIG. 2, the feeding belts 3 and 4 are The bill 63 is nipped and sent out in the direction of the arrow onto the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101. As a result, the bill 63 is carried on the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101 such that the leading end of the bill 63 is carried near the upper end of the second stage 61 and the trailing end of the bill 63 is carried by the upper end of the sub-stage 101. Accumulated.

At this time, if the accumulated bills 63 are, for example, worn out and lose their waist, the longitudinal width of the bills 63 and the second stage 61 and the sub When compared with the width of the stage 101, since the width of the bill 63 is significantly wider, both ends of the bill 63 try to hang downward, but on the sub-stage 101, the above-mentioned shape and Since the bill drooping prevention guide 104 having the property is fixed, the bill 63 may droop downward as shown in FIG. 3A due to the force to keep the bill drooping prevention guide 104 horizontal. There is no.

After that, the banknotes 63 are successively stacked by the collected banknote stacking means 64, and when a predetermined limit number (for example, 100) is reached as shown in FIG. 18B, as described with reference to FIG. Then, the opening / closing arm 62, which had been in the home position (position shown in FIG. 2) until then, is opened while descending, and is closed at a position reaching below the second stage 61, and is inserted under the bill 63.

During the closing operation of the opening / closing arm 62, the bill 63 does not hang downward from the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 101. Therefore, the opening / closing arm 62 allows the second stage 61 and the sub-stage 61 to be closed. It goes without saying that the bill 63 is mistakenly sandwiched between the bill 101 and the bill 101. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3C, the opening / closing arm 62 closed on the lower surface side of the bill 63 interferes with the bill drooping prevention guide 104 only at the tip of the first scoop block 76 provided on the opening / closing arm 62. However, since the bill hanging prevention guide 104 has flexibility, it rises when the bills 63 with the open / close arms 62 start to rise. Since the force is stronger than the force to keep the paper drooping prevention guide 104 horizontal, the both ends of the paper money drooping prevention guide 104 protruding from the sub-stage 101 start to bend.

Then, as the opening / closing arm 62 rises, as shown in FIG. 7D, the opening / closing arm 62 is deformed in a direction avoiding the upward movement of the opening / closing arm 62, and when the opening / closing arm 62 reaches the home position, the bill Since the drooping prevention guide 104 is fixed on the sub-stage 101, it is released from the interference of the opening / closing arm 62 as shown in FIG. 6 (e) and remains on the sub-stage 101 in a horizontal state. Wait for the collection of the collected bills 63.

Since the force for keeping the banknote hanging-down prevention guide 104 horizontal is weak with respect to the lifting force of the opening / closing arm 62, the lifting operation of the opening / closing arm 62 has no influence. In this way, the stacking operation of the banknotes and the lifting operation by the opening / closing arm 62 are repeated, and if the collected banknotes 63 at this time are the banknotes fed out from the first stage 18, they are reloaded on the first stage 18 and the money is transferred. If the bills fed out from the type cassettes 33 to 35 are collected, the batch cassette 15 is taken out from the apparatus by the staff after the collection is completed.

[0087]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the first stage for stacking banknotes, the second stage disposed below the first bank for temporarily stacking the collected banknotes, and substantially the center of the second stage. Both side surfaces of the sub-stage as a fulcrum, extending to the rear end side in the conveying direction of the collected banknotes and arranged above the second stage, and a sub-stage for temporarily collecting the collected banknotes together with the second stage. In a collective storage in which the collected banknotes that have been conveyed are stacked on the second stage and the sub-stage by the collected banknote stacking means, and the banknotes are lifted by the opening / closing arm when a predetermined number of banknotes are stacked. , A force that horizontally extends from both ends of the sub-stage for a predetermined length in a direction orthogonal to the traveling direction of the banknotes and keeps the extended part horizontally is Both bottom layers Is stronger than the force that hangs down from the second stage and the sub-stage and weaker than the force that the open / close arm rises when lifting the stacked banknotes, so that both ends of the stacked banknotes are A bill drooping prevention guide that prevents the bill from hanging down from the second stage and the sub-stage is fixed to the sub-stage with an adhesive.

Therefore, even when the banknotes stacked on the second stage and the sub-stage by the collected banknote stacking means are worn out and the waist is weak, the banknotes are horizontally leveled with a force stronger than that of the banknotes. The banknotes do not hang down because the banknote hang-up prevention guide that tries to keep them supports the bottom surface. Therefore, when the open / close arm lifts up, the collected banknotes are no longer sandwiched between the open / close arm and the second stage or sub-stage, and the lifted banknotes hang down below the open / close arm. Therefore, the collected banknote stacking means does not interfere with the banknotes stacked next on the second stage and the sub-stage, and it is possible to prevent jamming at the time of stacking, and to perform a reliable stacking operation. It is possible to provide possible bulk storage.

Further, since the bill drooping prevention guide has the flexibility of a force weaker than the lifting force of the opening / closing arm, it is deformed in a direction to avoid it as the opening / closing arm rises. , It does not interfere with the upward movement of the open / close arm.
