[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to an automatic replenishment mechanism for receipt roll paper in a slip issuing machine such as an automatic transaction device and an automatic feeder.

[Conventional technology]

 FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a conventional automatic transaction device.

This is equipped with a passbook insertion / ejection slot 1, a card / slip insertion / ejection slot 2, a bill insertion / ejection slot 3, a hardening ejection slot 4, an operation touch panel 5, etc., so that cash deposits and payments can be made. It has become. Such an automatic transaction device has a built-in slip issuing machine so that a receipt can be issued after the transaction is completed. Further, the slip issuing machine is equipped with an automatic replenishing mechanism for replenishing roll paper for receipt so that it can be used even when unattended at night.

This automatic replenishment mechanism is shown in FIG. In the figure, 10,1
0'is roll paper for receipt, 11 is an automatic replenishing unit having a fixed guide 11a and a movable guide 11b, 12 is a printer, 13,
13 'is a pinch roller, 14 is an auto loading guide 15
The paper 10a pulled out from the receipt roll paper 10 on the belt 16 is sent in the direction of arrow A by the pinch rollers 13 and 13 ', and the printer 12 in the middle thereof. Printing is performed. When the receipt roll paper 10 is consumed and runs out, a sensor (not shown) detects it and instructs the automatic replenishment unit 11 to replenish the paper. This allows the automatic replenishment unit 11
Rotates the movable guide 11b in the direction of arrow B about the shaft 11c as a fulcrum, drops the receipt roll paper 10 'stored therein, and replenishes it to the automatic loading section 14.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

In the above conventional automatic replenishment mechanism, the receipt roll paper 10 '
When the paper is replenished in the automatic loading unit 14, the falling receipt roll paper 10 'collides with the automatic loading guide 15 of the automatic loading unit 14 and gives a shock, which causes deformation.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above conventional problems, and an object thereof is to provide an automatic replenishing mechanism that alleviates the impact when replenishing roll paper.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve the above object, an automatic roll paper replenishing mechanism of the present invention is provided with an auto loading part for feeding out the contained roll paper, and is provided obliquely above the auto loading part to replenish the auto loading part. An automatic replenishing unit that supplies roll paper, a holding unit that is provided on the roll paper dropping path between the automatic replenishing unit and the auto loading unit, and that is vertically movable to hold the falling roll paper; and the holding unit. And a spring for urging the upper part in the upward direction.

[Action]

By providing the buffer means 17 between the automatic replenishing unit 11 and the automatic loading section 14, the roll paper 10 'during replenishing the roll paper can be supported by the buffer means 17 to slow down the falling speed. It is possible to reduce the impact on the loading unit 14.

〔Example〕

 FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention.

In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the fixed guide 11a and the shaft 1
Replenishing unit 1 consisting of movable guide 11b mounted on 1c
A buffer means 17 for slowing the fall speed of the roll paper is provided between 1 and the auto loading section 14 including an auto loading guide 15 fixed to a frame (not shown) and a belt 16 for driving the paper. The buffer means 17 is a gate-shaped metal fitting 18 that straddles the auto-loading guide 15, and two upper and lower shafts 19, 20 that penetrate the side plates 18a, 18b of the gate-shaped metal fitting 18.
And a spring 21 provided between one of the shafts 19 and the auto-loading 15, and the shafts 19 and 20 and elongated holes 22, 22 ', 23 and 23' provided at both ends of the shafts in a frame (not shown). It can be slid up and down. Therefore, the gate-shaped metal fitting 18 is always suspended by the spring 21.

The operation of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG.

First, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), when there is no more paper on the belt 16, a sensor (not shown) detects it, and the movable guide 11b of the replenishing unit 11 is rotated in the direction of arrow B with the shaft 11c as a fulcrum. Then, the roll paper 10 'falls on the gate-shaped metal fitting 18 of the buffer means 17 below as shown in FIG. 2 (b). Gate-shaped bracket 18 is a spring
Since it is lifted up at 21, the roll paper 10 'slides downward while reducing the falling speed and descends to the position shown in FIG. 2 (b). When the roll paper 10 'reaches the position shown in FIG. 2 (b), it is released from the fixed guide 11a and drops onto the belt 16 as shown in FIG. 2 (c). At the same time, the gate-shaped metal fitting 18 returns to its original position.

In this way, the roll paper 10 'is automatically loaded by the auto loading unit 14
However, the impact of the roll paper 10 'on the auto loading guide 15 is avoided by the portal metal fitting 18.

In addition, the roll paper 10 ′ is the belt 16 of the auto loading unit 14.
Since the gate-shaped metal fitting 18 returns to its original position after it has dropped into the
By rotating the belt 16 in order to set 10 ', it also serves to guide the jumping roll paper 10' so as not to jump to the upper part of the auto loading guide 15.

[Effect of device]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the cushioning means is provided between the replenishing unit and the auto loading section, the dropping speed of the roll paper can be slowed down by the cushioning means, and It is possible to avoid the impact and prevent the deformation of the auto loading guide.
