<< Temporary Storage Plate 102 >> FIGS. 6 and 7
Will be described with reference to. FIG. 6 is a plan view of the temporary storage plate 102 when it has not entered the space portion 30 of the stacker main body 31 (when it is outside the space portion 30), and FIG. FIG. 6 is a plan view when the plate 102 is located in the space portion 30 of the stacker main body 31, and as can be seen with reference to these drawings, in the temporary storage plate 102, the three plate members 75 to 77 are the support plates 78. And are formed in a fork shape so as to have a constant interval in the horizontal direction ef (the direction orthogonal to the paper surface in FIGS. 4 and 5).

Further, the temporary storage plate 102 is moved by the temporary storage plate drive unit 120 in the vertical direction cd and the horizontal direction a.
-B, which is movably provided, in the horizontal direction a
At the time of moving to −b, the space portion 30 of the stacker main body 31 is moved in and out through the above-described penetration hole 56. The temporary storage plate 102 moves to the outside of the space portion 30 of the stacker main body 31 when the bill placed on the temporary storage plate 102 is set by the teller as “deposit approval” or when the withdrawal process is performed. When to do. In addition, the penetration hole 56 is long in the vertical direction and corresponds to the number of the plate members 75 to 77.
4 are provided at a constant interval (along the arrow ef direction).

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the plate member 7
Among the 5 to 77, the plate member 76 located at the center is provided with a pair of auxiliary storage plates 79 that can project from the respective side portions. Explaining the configuration of the plate member 76 in detail, the plate member 76 has a storage plate body 80 fixed to the support plate 78 so as to be horizontal, and a long hole 81 along the arrow ab direction,
By moving the pin 82 on the side of the storage plate body 80 located in the elongated hole 81 along the elongated hole 81, a sliding member 83 that is slidable in the direction of arrow ab along the upper surface of the storage plate body 80. And at the end portion of the sliding member 83 on the arrow a side at a distance larger than the width of the penetration hole 56, the plate member 7
A pair of rollers 84 that can contact the front surface of the second return door 34 of the stacker main body 31 when 6 is inserted into the entry hole 56;
A spring 85 provided between the sliding member 83 and the storage plate body 80 to pull the sliding member 83 in the direction of the arrow b, and a pair of auxiliary storage plates 79 provided on each side of the storage plate body 80,
A link that is provided between the auxiliary storage plate 79 and the storage plate body 80, moves the auxiliary storage plates 79 close to and away from each other in a parallel state, and changes the overall width in the arrow ef direction. 86 and 87 and the arrow e on the sliding member 83
And a long hole 89 formed in the −f direction and engaged with a pin 88 fixed to the end of the link 87, and the width when the auxiliary storage plate 79 is closed is: It is set to be slightly smaller than the penetration hole 56 described above.

The links 86 and 87 are designated by reference numeral 86.
It is rotatably connected to the storage plate main body 80 by connecting pins A and 87A, and is rotatably connected to each auxiliary storage plate 79 by connecting pins 86B and 87B.

Then, the plate member 7 configured as described above
In No. 6, when no external force is applied (the plate member 76
Is outside the space 30 of the stacker body 31),
As shown in FIG. 6, when the sliding member 83 is pulled in the arrow b direction by the spring 85 with respect to the storage plate body 80, the pin 88 fixed to the sliding member 83 relatively moves in the arrow b direction. Then, the link 87 is rotated around the coupling pin 87A in the closing direction, whereby the link 87 is rotated.
The auxiliary storage plates 79 are moved to positions close to each other via 86, and the auxiliary storage plates 79 are closed.

Then, with the auxiliary storage plate 79 closed as described above, the support plate 78 moves in the direction of the arrow b, and the plate member 76 provided on the support plate 78 passes through the entry hole 56 and the stacker main body 31. Although it can be inserted into the space 30, on the other hand, since the roller 84 is provided at a larger interval than the penetration hole 56, when the plate member 76 is inserted into the penetration hole 56, the roller 84 is The movement of the sliding member 83 is restricted by being brought into contact with the second return door 34, and only the storage plate body 80 is moved in the direction of arrow b against the tensile force of the spring 85. As a result, , The link 87 is rotated around the pin coupling 87A in the opening direction, and the auxiliary storage plate 79 projects laterally from the storage plate main body 80 via the links 86 and 87.

On the other hand, the temporary storage plate 102 has the space 30.
If the roller 84 is pressed by the second return door 34 when it is slightly moved in the direction of the arrow a from the state in which it is completely inside, the sliding member 83 is moved by the biasing force of the spring 85. It moves relative to the storage plate main body 80 in the direction of the arrow b, which causes the link 87 to move to the pin 87.
These links 8 are rotated in the direction of closing around A.
The auxiliary storage plate 79 is brought close to the storage plate main body 80 via 6.87, and the width along the arrow ef direction becomes smaller. That is, the width of the plate member 76 along the arrow ef direction is equal to the width of the penetration hole 5.
It becomes a size that can pass through 6, and the temporary storage plate 102 can be pulled out from the entry hole 56.

When the temporary storage plate 102 is inserted into the stacker main body 31 as described above, the width of the plate member 76 is increased in the arrow ef direction because the space between the other plate members 75 and 77 is increased. This is to prevent the banknotes from falling from the gap 105 provided in the. For example, when banknotes or the like having a folding tendency are accumulated on the temporary storage plate 102, each temporary storage plate 102
Elevator 1 located below the gap 105 of the elevator
There is a risk that it will be mixed into the bills on the 03. Therefore, it is preferable to make the gap portion 105 of the temporary storage portion 101 relatively small, but on the other hand, each plate member 75 of the temporary storage plate 102.
When the width of ~ 77 is increased, it is necessary to increase the width of the entry hole 56 of the deposit / withdrawal stacker 100 accordingly.

However, if the width of the penetration hole 56 is increased, when the temporary storage plate 102 is pulled out, conversely,
This time, there is a possibility that a bill with a crease will fly out of the space portion 30 of the stacker main body 31, which may cause a failure of other devices in the machine body 1,
Therefore, the width of the auxiliary storage plate 79 is increased only in the space 30 of the stacker body 31. The vertical movement range of the temporary storage plate 102 is set according to the storage amount of the temporary storage unit 101. Further, in the present embodiment, among the plate members 75 to 77, only the width of the plate member 76 located at the center can be changed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the plate members 75 and 77 located at the ends can also be changed. The width may be changeable as the same configuration as the plate member 76.

Further, the bill depositing / dispensing machine is provided with a large number of sensors and drive units in addition to the above-mentioned sensors and drive units, but those not directly related to the description of the present embodiment will be described and explained. Omit it. Further, as the operation unit 11, whether or not the deposit start key for instructing deposit and withdrawal, the deposit key, the numeric keypad for inputting the amount, and the deposited banknote temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 101 can be stored in the storage unit 104. Various operation keys such as a deposit approval key and a deposit cancellation key for instructing are provided.

<< Regarding Deposit Control >> (1) When the bill depositing / dispensing machine is started, the temporary storage plate 102 is positioned so as to be in the standby position (H) with respect to the temporary storage plate drive unit 120, and With respect to the elevator driving unit 121, the elevator 10 is set so that the uppermost surface of the banknotes (denoted by reference numeral SA) on the elevator 103 is slightly lower than the standby position (H) of the temporary storage plate 102.
3 is positioned (state shown in FIG. 9). The standby position (H) of the temporary storage plate 102 is the lower limit position of the ascending / descending movement range within the space 30 of the stacker body 31.

(2) The temporary storage plate drive unit 120 and the elevator drive unit 121 are driven in synchronization with each other, provided that the teller sets the bills in the deposit port 2 and presses the deposit start key of the operation unit 110. As a result, the temporary storage plate 102 and the elevator 103 are raised at the same speed,
When the position of the upper surface of the temporary storage plate 102 reaches a preset interval with respect to the actuator 51, both the temporary storage plate drive unit 120 and the elevator drive unit 121 are stopped (the temporary storage plate at this time). The stop position of 102 is the depositing position H, which is shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 9).

(3) Then, in this way, the temporary storage plate 1
02, when the position of the elevator 103 is set, the deposit driving unit (not shown) of the bill transport unit 200 and the storing and delivering mechanism 32 are driven, and the guide of the actuator 51 causes the normal deposit bill to be transferred to the space of the stacker body 31. Part 3
It is supplied one by one onto the temporary storage plate 102 in 0. Also,
A transport detection sensor 96 (see FIG. 8) for detecting the transport of deposited banknotes is provided in the middle of the deposit route 5 of the banknote transport unit 200, and the transport detection sensor 96 detects the deposited banknotes in the temporary storage unit 101. Each time the supply is detected, the temporary storage plate drive unit 120 and the elevator drive unit 121
Are driven synchronously, and the temporary storage plate 102 and the elevator 103 are lowered by the thickness of one bill (see FIG. 10).

(4) When all the bills set in the deposit port 2 are taken in, the temporary storage plate drive unit 120 and the elevator drive unit 121 are caused to stop the drive of the temporary storage plate 102 and the elevator 103, and displayed. The total amount of the deposit banknotes (denoted by reference symbol SB) calculated based on the discrimination result of the deposit discriminating unit 6 is displayed on the unit 113, and the teller is asked to confirm whether or not the bill can be stored in the storing unit 104. . It should be noted that whether or not all the bills set in the deposit port 2 have been taken in is detected by the detection signal of the transport detection sensor 96 not being output for a certain period of time, or the deposit port 2
It is also possible to provide a residual detection sensor in and to detect by the detection signal of this residual detection sensor.

(5) After the receipt of the deposited banknotes in the temporary storage unit 101 is completed, the teller operates the deposit approval key of the operation unit 110 to operate the temporary storage unit 10 from the operation unit 110.
When an instruction to store the banknotes above 1 is output, the temporary storage plate drive unit 120, as shown in FIG.
At the stop position, the temporary storage plate 102 is horizontally moved in the direction of the arrow a so as to be positioned outside the space portion 30 of the stacker body 31, whereby the temporary storage banknote S on the temporary storage plate 102 is moved.
B is dropped and accumulated on the elevator 103.

At this time, the temporary storage plate 102 is
Since the temporary storage plate 102 passes through the entry hole 56 formed in the second return door 34 and moves to the outside of the space portion 30 of the stacker main body 31, the temporary storage plate 102 temporarily stores when the temporary storage plate 102 exits the entry hole 56. The temporary storage banknote SB on the plate 102 is restricted from moving in the direction of the arrow a on the inner surface of the second return door 34, and is dropped into the storage unit 104 on the elevator 103 (that is, the second return door 34). Will be scraped off inside). Further, at this time, since the uppermost surface of the banknotes SA accumulated on the elevator 103 is arranged at a position slightly lower than the standby position (H) of the temporary storage plate 102 as described above, the temporary banknotes SB fall. The fall distance of the temporarily stored banknotes SB at the time of doing is very small, so that the accumulation state of the temporarily stored banknotes SB is not disturbed.
In addition, the temporary storage plate 102 is the space portion 3 of the stacker body 31.
When it is moved to the outside of 0, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 6, the plate member 76 of the temporary storage plate 102 has a width narrowed along the arrow ef direction.

(6) When the temporary storage plate 102 moves from the inside of the space portion 30 of the stacker main body 31 to the outside of the space portion 30, the temporary storage plate driving portion 120 and the elevator driving portion 12
1 to drive the temporary storage plate 102, as shown in FIG.
Raise the elevator 103 together. Then, in this case, the temporary storage plate drive unit 120 raises the temporary storage plate 102 until it reaches the upper limit position (H) within the lifting movement range,
Further, in the elevator drive unit 121, the uppermost surface of the banknote stack SA pushes down the actuator 51, and the actuator position detection sensor 111 (see FIG. 8) causes the actuator 51 to operate.
The elevator 103 is raised until the rising movement of the vehicle is detected. Further, after detecting the upward movement of the actuator position detection sensor 111 and stopping the elevator 103,
With respect to the elevator drive unit 121, the elevator 103 is lowered again to a position where the uppermost surface of the banknote stack SA is spaced apart from the actuator 51 by a predetermined distance (the position of the elevator 103 at this time is shown in FIG. 11).

(7) When the elevator 103 stops at the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 11, the temporary storage plate drive unit 120 is driven to move to the upper limit position (H) of the ascending / descending movement range and outside the space 30 of the stacker body 31. Storage plate 102 located at
Is moved horizontally in the direction of the arrow b to be positioned in the space 30 of the stacker main body 31, and at the same time, the storage and feeding mechanism drive unit 122 is driven to move the impeller 44 to the banknote loading direction (see FIG. 1).
1 indicated by the arrow n).

Incidentally, the reason why the impeller 44 is rotated in the bill taking-in direction n in this manner is that the accumulated bills SA accumulated on the elevator 103 are folded at the uppermost end (left end in the figure). When there is a habit or warp, the bending habit and the warp are pressed downward by the rotating impeller 44 to eliminate the crease and the warp, and thereby the temporary storage plate 102 is moved to the stacker main body. When the banknotes 31 are moved into the space portion 30, the accumulated banknotes SA are sandwiched between the temporary storage section 101 and the actuator 51 and damaged, and the sandwiched banknotes SA are moved together with the actuators as the temporary storage section 101 moves. The push-up of 51 is prevented, so that the temporary storage plate 102 can smoothly enter the space portion 30 of the stacker body 31. Unishi to have.

(8) When the temporary storage plate 102 is moved into the stacker main body 31, the drive of the storage / feeding mechanism driving unit 122 is stopped, and the rotation of the impeller 44 in the bill take-in direction n is stopped. Thereafter, the temporary storage plate drive unit 120 and the elevator drive unit 121 are synchronously driven to drive the temporary storage plate 10
2 and elevator 103 descend at the same speed, and
As shown in FIGS. 11 to 12, when the temporary storage plate 102 reaches the standby position (H), the temporary storage plate drive unit 1
20 and the drive of the elevator drive part 121 are stopped.

While the temporary storage unit 101 is being lowered to the standby position (H), it is detected whether or not banknotes remain on the temporary storage plate 102 based on the detection signal of the second detection sensor 94. , At the standby position (H), based on the detection signal of the first detection sensor 92, the temporary storage plate 102
It detects whether or not there is a banknote remaining on the top. As a result, if any of the detection sensors 92 and 94 detects the remaining banknotes, the display unit 113 displays that there are remaining banknotes on the temporary storage unit 101, and the temporary storage unit 101 and the elevator. Pause the operation of 103,
The fact that an abnormality has occurred is displayed on the display unit 113. Then, after this, in order to temporarily store the banknotes on the temporary storage plate 102 again, the operation from (2) above is repeated.

(9) On the other hand, as shown in (3) above, after the receipt of the deposited banknotes into the temporary storage unit 101 is completed,
When the teller operates the deposit cancellation key of the operation unit 110 and outputs an instruction to return the banknotes on the temporary storage unit 101 from the operation unit 110, the temporary storage plate drive unit 12
0, the elevator drive unit 121 is synchronously driven, and the temporary storage plate 102 and the elevator 103 are lowered until the temporary storage plate 102 reaches the standby position (H), and then the first return door 33 is closed. Electromagnetic lock that was locked 1
Unlock 12

Then, the teller, as shown in FIG.
The unlocked first return door 33 is pulled in the direction of the arrow a, which is the front side, to open the upper portion, and the banknote storage unit 201 is pulled out to the front (the direction of the arrow a) by a predetermined amount. Support block 6 for opening / closing mechanism 35
Also pull 3 forward. When the second return door 34 is pulled forward, the second return door 34
Rotates about the shaft 34A, and the upper portion on the front side is opened, and the lower end 34B of the second return door 34 is formed with the gap 1 formed in the temporary storage plate 102 in accordance with this rotation.
05 (see FIG. 6) is passed upward from below, whereby the temporarily stored banknote SB on the temporary storage plate 102 is scooped by the lower end portion 34B of the second return door 34, as shown in FIG. Can be raised.

Then, in this way, the first return door 33, the second
When the return door 34 is opened, the teller can take out the temporarily stored banknotes SB through the opening of the second return door 34 (shown by reference numeral 34C in FIG. 13), and at this time, the second return door 34 Since the temporarily stored banknote SB picked up by the lower end portion 34B is located on the insertion direction of the hand of the teller inserted through the opening 34C of the second return door 34, the banknote SB is easily gripped by the teller, The work of collecting the bills can be efficiently performed.

(10) Then, when the collection of the temporarily stored banknotes in the temporary storage unit 101 as described in (9) above is completed, the teller moves the support block 63 to the rear (arrow b direction) side. After the second return door 34 is closed by pushing the first return door 33, the first return door 33 is pushed rearward (in the direction of arrow b), so that the bill storage unit 201
Is stored in the machine body 1, and the first return door 33 is closed. In addition, in this way, the first return door 33 and the second return door 34
When is closed, the electromagnetic lock 112 is operated to lock the first return door 33. Also, the first return door 3
3. Whether or not the second return door 34 is closed may be detected by a sensor, or may be detected by a detection signal of the first sensor 92. After the operation of (9) is performed, the operations of (2) and after are repeated.

<< Dispensing Control >> (1) The banknote dispensing process from the deposit / withdrawal stacker 100 (the distribution process shown in FIG. 3) is performed by the teller pressing an operation key (not shown) of the operation unit 110. Be seen. That is, when the teller presses the operation key of the operation unit 110, the temporary storage plate drive unit 120 and the elevator drive unit 12
1 are driven in synchronization with each other, and the temporary storage plate 102 and the elevator 103 are moved up at the same speed until the temporary storage plate 102 reaches the upper limit position (H) of the ascending / descending movement range. (2) When the temporary storage plate 102 is moved to the upper limit position (H) of the ascending / descending movement range, the driving of the temporary storage plate drive unit 120 and the elevator drive unit 121 is stopped, and then the temporary storage plate drive unit 120 is driven. Then, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 11, the temporary storage plate 102 is horizontally moved to the outside of the space portion 30 of the stacker body 31.

(3) When the temporary storage plate 102 moves outside the space 30 of the stacker body 31, the elevator drive unit 1
21 is driven to raise the elevator 103 again, the uppermost surface of the banknotes SA accumulated on the elevator 103 pushes up the actuator 51, and the riser roller 50 is stopped at a position pushed up by a predetermined amount (actuator). It is stopped based on the detection signal of the position detection sensor 111). (4) After that, the storage and delivery mechanism section 122 is driven to drive the kick roller 50, the feed roller 45, and the storage and delivery roller 48.
