Reference numerals 25 and 26 are guide brackets fixed to the fixing member 23 at predetermined intervals, and 27 is a mounting bracket fixed to the fixing member 23.

28, 29 and 30 are the side shapes of the aligner drum, respectively.
The guide plates 28 to 30 are substantially arc-shaped with a radius of curvature slightly larger than the outer diameter of 22.The guide plates 28 to 30 cover the outer peripheral surface of the divided aligner drum 22 with a slight gap, and the end surfaces of each other. They are arranged side by side so that cuts 31a, 31b of a certain width can be formed between them, where the guide plate 28 is the guide bracket 24, the guide plate 29 is the guide bracket 26, and the guide plate 30 is the mounting bracket 27. It is fixedly held.

32a and 32b are alignment means provided in plural sets (4 sets in the figure) along the outer peripheral surface of the aligner drum 22, and one alignment means 32a is a support post 33 fixed to the guide bracket 25. A spring post 34 fixed to the guide bracket 24 so as to be located outside the support post 33, a support shaft 35 rotatably mounted at a right angle to the tip of the support post 33, and a rotation on the support shaft 35. A bracket 36 freely attached, an aligner roller 37 having an outer peripheral surface of rubber or the like having a higher friction coefficient than the friction material of the outer peripheral surface of the aligner drum 22, and rotatably supported by the bracket 36, and the bracket 36. Of the aligner spring 38 hung between the tip of the spring and the support post 33, and between the tip of the spring post 34 and one end of the support shaft 35. Tsu is constituted by a pusher spring 39.

Further, the other aligning means 32b has the support post 33 and the spring post 34 both fixed to the guide bracket 26, but is otherwise configured similarly to the aligning means 32a.

Here, each aligner roller 3 of each aligning means 32a, 32b
7 are held in a row between the guide plates 28 and 29 and at the positions of the cuts 31a and 31b of 29 and 30, respectively, and these aligner rollers 37 are also provided.
Since the support shaft 35 is rotatable with respect to the support post 33 and the bracket 36 is rotatably supported by the support post 33, the bracket 36 and the bracket 36 are rotatably supported in the direction of the aligner drum 22 and the flange 22a, respectively. It can be rocked. And aligner springs
Each aligner roller 37 has a bracket on each aligner roller 37 due to the pulling force of 38.
A force for inclining the bill 36 at a predetermined angle with respect to the conveyance direction of the bill acts, and each aligner roller 37 is pressed against the aligner drum 22 by the tensile force of the pressure spring 39.

The operation of the aligner unit 4 having such a configuration is as follows.

That is, when the banknotes are conveyed, the banknotes (not shown) are set so that their longitudinal direction is the axial direction of the aligner drum 22.
It is assumed that the sheets are continuously conveyed sheet by sheet. At this time, the aligner drum 22 rotates in the direction of arrow A as shown in FIG.

Further, the aligner rollers 37 of the aligning means 32a, 32b, that is, the aligner rollers 37 in the first row and the aligner rollers 37 in the second row are pressed against the aligner drum 22 by the pressure springs 39, respectively, in the arrow B direction. It's spinning.

And is sandwiched between the aligner drum 22 and the first aligner roller 37, and is rotated to be conveyed to the next aligner roller 37.

In this way, the bills are aligned with the aligner drum 22 and each aligner roller.
Although they are conveyed while being sandwiched in sequence with 37, a force is exerted on each of these aligner rollers 37 by the aligner springs 38 to tilt the support shaft 35 as a fulcrum together with the bracket 36 with respect to the bill conveying direction. If the banknote is skewed or misaligned, the banknote will have a higher coefficient of friction than the aligner drum 22 for each aligner roller.
The widths of the bills are sequentially moved to the side of the flange 22a, which is the reference surface for conveyance, by 37, whereby one side of the bill is pressed against the flange 22a, and skewing and lateral deviation are corrected.

In this way, the bills are continuously corrected, whereby the bills are aligned in a certain state along the flange 22a and sent in the direction of arrow D.

Next, the operation of the configuration of FIG. 6 having the aligner section 4 described above will be described.

First, in the case of a deposit transaction, the customer inserts and receives bills 2
The deposited banknotes collectively fed into the separating and feeding section 3 are passed to the separating and feeding section 3 and then fed one by one to the conveying path 19a by the suction drum 3a of the separating and feeding section 3, and from the conveying path 19a to the aligner section 4. It is sent in sequence.

Then, the banknotes are width-aligned to the reference plane and aligned in the aligner section 4 as described above, and then sent to the discrimination section 5 by the conveying path 19b and are discriminated by the discrimination section 5 for authenticity.

The bills discriminated as counterfeit bills are sent to the impeller 7 through the conveying paths 19c and 19d, and are sequentially accumulated by the impeller 7 in the counterfeit bill temporary accumulating unit 9. From here, they are collectively returned to the bill insertion / receipt section 2 by the conveying path 19e and returned to the customer.

On the other hand, the bill that has been discriminated as a genuine bill by the discriminating unit 5 has a conveyance path 19
It is sent to the impeller 6 through c and 19d, and is accumulated in the genuine bill temporary accumulating portion 8 by the impeller 6.

Then, the accumulated banknotes collectively pass through the counterfeit banknote temporary accumulating section 9, the conveying path 19e, further pass through the banknote insertion receiving section 2 and the separating / feeding section 3, and are again sent to the aligner section 4 by the conveying path 19a. After being aligned one by one in the aligner section 4, the transport path
It is sent to the discrimination section 5 by 19b.

Here, the bill is passed through the conveying paths 19c, 19f, and 19g after being discriminated as an unfit note or a denomination by the discriminating section 5, and further, the conveying path 19g.
Are distributed to the conveying paths 19h, 19i, 19j according to the discrimination result, and the impellers 14, 15, 1 are formed by these conveying paths 19h, 19i, 19j.
It is sent to 6 respectively, safe for 1,000 yen, safe for 10,000 yen 1
1, and is stored in the unfunded bank safe 12.

In the case of a withdrawal transaction, banknotes of the denomination and the number of sheets designated by the customer by a not-shown pin pad or the like are sequentially separated one by one from the 1,000 yen safe 10 and the 10,000 yen safe 11 by the corresponding suction drums 17 and 18. The banknotes that have been fed out are conveyed to the conveyance paths 19h and 19h.
It is sent to the transport path 19g by i and is sent to the aligner section 4 by this transport path 19g.

Then, in the aligner section 4, the banknotes are aligned one by one on the reference plane in the same manner as described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8 and, after being aligned, are sent to the discrimination section 5 by the conveyance path 19b, The discrimination unit 5 discriminates denominations and detects skew, double feed, different denominations, and the like.

As a result, banknotes that have been identified as unsuitable for withdrawal due to anomalies such as skewing, double feeding, or different denominations are sent to the reject safe 13 via the transfer paths 19c and 19f and the transfer path 19k, and then stored. To be done.

On the other hand, the banknotes that have been identified as being suitable for withdrawal without any abnormality pass through the transport paths 19c and 19d and are passed by the impeller 6 to the genuine bill temporary stacking unit 8
Accumulated in. Then, after the specified amount of banknotes are accumulated, these banknotes are collectively sent through the counterfeit banknote temporary accumulating unit 9 and the conveying path 19e and are sent to the banknote insertion receiving unit 2.
Paid to customers.

The conventional automatic cash handling apparatus has been described above.
Since this device aligns the banknotes in the aligner unit 4 at the time of depositing and withdrawing money, it has the advantage that the discrimination unit 5 can perform discrimination accurately, and thus the number of bills returned as counterfeit bills is small. On the other hand, it has the following problems.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

That is, in the above-described conventional automatic cash handling apparatus, the banknotes aligned by aligning the flange 22a, which is the reference surface, by the aligner unit 4 at the time of depositing are freely placed in the 1,000-yen safe box 10 or the 10,000-yen safe box 11. When dropped and stored, the width of the safes 10 and 11 is set to be slightly larger than the longitudinal dimension of the bill so that the storage can be performed smoothly.
Therefore, the safes 10, 11 are attached to the flange 22a of the aligner portion 4
One side will be located on the outside.

This will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 9 is an explanatory view showing the positional relationship between the flange 22a and one side surface of the safes 10 and 11, and as shown in FIG.
On the other hand, one side L of the safes 10,11 has a dimension l outwardly (about 1 mm)
It is only in the protruding position.

In such a relationship, when the banknotes are stored in the safe 10 for 1,000 yen or the safe 11 for 10,000 yen by free fall, the banknotes may be displaced in the direction of the one side surface L.

Therefore, when this banknote is unwound from the safes 10 and 11 and is conveyed to the aligner section 4 at the time of withdrawal, one side end of this banknote protrudes outside the aligner section 4 flange 22a. There is a problem that jams, bill damage, etc. occur when caught on the reference surface.

The present invention has been made in order to solve such a problem, and even if there is a misaligned banknote in the coin-type safe, it is stable without causing a jam or a banknote damage at the time of withdrawal. It is an object of the present invention to realize an automatic cash handling apparatus capable of carrying banknotes by a banknote.

[Means for solving the problem]

In order to achieve this object, the present invention is a banknote receiving unit for a customer or the like to insert a banknote for depositing or to receive a banknote for dispensing, and a banknote collectively delivered from the banknote receiving unit. Separation and feeding unit that separates and feeds each one, a discrimination unit that discriminates authenticity of bills, denomination, etc., and a bill that is authentic and reusable is stored by the discrimination unit. Safe, storing means for storing banknotes in the safe, feeding means for feeding the banknotes out of the safe, bills separated by the separating / feeding unit at the time of depositing, and dispensed by the dispensing means at the time of dispensing And a aligner section for arranging the banknotes at a position before reaching the discrimination section and for aligning the banknotes by aligning the banknotes with a predetermined reference plane by an aligner roller inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the banknote transport direction, and each of these parts and means. A transport path that connects between and transports banknotes In the automatic cash handling apparatus including, the aligner section as a first aligner section, and a second aligner section for aligning bills in a direction opposite to the width aligning direction of the first aligner section, the feeding means. And a first aligner section, a conveyance path for conveying banknotes is provided close to the first aligner section.

[Work]

In the present invention having the above-described configuration, the withdrawal banknotes dispensed from the cashbox are moved in the direction immediately before the first aligner unit in the direction opposite to the widthwise direction of the first aligner unit by the second aligner unit. After that, the banknotes are width-aligned with the reference surface by the first aligner section and aligned, and then conveyed to the discrimination section.

Therefore, during withdrawal, the withdrawal banknotes dispensed from the cashbox will not be caught on the reference surface of the first aligner portion and will not cause jams or banknote damages, and the banknotes can be stably transported. In addition to the above, the first aligner unit can reliably shift the banknotes and send the banknotes to the discrimination unit, so that the discrimination can be performed with high accuracy.
