When a bill is inserted into the bill identifying device 10 (arrow), first, the bill identifying unit 11 identifies the authenticity, denomination, etc. of the inserted bill. If the bill is a 5,000-yen bill or a 10,000-yen bill, the bill is sent to the high-price bill storage unit 12 (dotted line arrow) and stocked there. On the other hand, when the identified banknote is a 1,000-yen banknote, it is sent to the low-value banknote storage unit 13 (arrow) and stocked there. In addition, when exchanging money, the low-value banknote storage unit 13
The bills are sent one by one to the bill payout unit 14 from the stocked bills (arrow), and when the designated number of bills are accumulated, the bills are collectively paid (arrow).

The banknotes are delivered in the banknote payout section 14 of the banknote recognition apparatus 10 in the following manner, for example. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a state in which banknotes are conveyed to a batch storage section of a conventional banknote payout section, and FIG. 5 is a view showing an outline of a conventional impeller. 4 and 5, 1 is an impeller, 1a is a slit, 2 is a blade, 4 is a lower roller,
Reference numeral 5 is an upper roller, 6 is a support shaft, 7 is a bill, and 8 is a batch storing unit.

The banknotes 7 sent from the low-value banknote storage unit 13 (FIG. 3) are sandwiched by the lower roller 4 and the upper roller 5 and sent to the batch storage unit 8. Then, when the designated number of banknotes 7 are accumulated in the batch holding unit 8, the banknote identification device 1
0 (FIG. 3) is collectively dispensed from the dispensing exit on the front side.
The impellers 1 and 1 are provided on the support shaft 6 together with the lower rollers 4 and 4, and are provided on the outer periphery when the end of the bill 7 passes the lower roller 4 and the upper roller 5, and are made of urethane rubber or the like. The blades 2 bounce off the banknotes 7 and send them completely into the batch holding section 8. In addition, the blade 2 presses the rear end of the banknote 7 so that the rear end of the banknote 7 sent to the batch storing unit 8 does not float up.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

(Problem) However, in the above-mentioned conventional technique, in order to hold down the rear end of the bill 7, it is necessary to lengthen the blade 2 to some extent. There is a problem that the function of partitioning the banknotes 7 and the banknotes 7 sent thereafter is deteriorated, and the banknotes 7 in front hit the banknotes 7 in the back, which may hinder the transfer of the banknotes 7. .

(Explanation of Problems) FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the problems of the conventional impeller. The reference numerals correspond to those in FIG. The banknotes 7 are sequentially sent to the batch holding section 8 until the predetermined number is reached, and the transfer interval is 4 at maximum.
It is about 0 mm. At that time, if the length of the blade 2 is short, the blade 2 can partition the two banknotes 7a and 7b from each other and prevent them from colliding with each other. However, if the length of the blade 2 is increased in order to increase the effect of pressing the rear end of the banknote 7, the preceding banknote 7a is in contact with the end of the banknote 7a at the final stage when the banknote 7a is sent to the batch holding unit 8. The blade 2a is not easily released from the bill 7a, and the succeeding bill 7b is sent in the meantime. As a result, the two eventually collide with each other, which hinders the feeding of the bills 7a and 7b.

The present invention solves such a problem and has a function of pressing the rear end of the banknotes 7 sent to the batch storing section 8 and a function of partitioning between the preceding banknote 7a and the subsequent banknote 7b. The challenge is to be able to fully fulfill both and.

[0008]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a paper sheet storage device of the present invention comprises a storage section for stacking and storing paper sheets such as a plurality of banknotes, and a paper for the storage section. An impeller provided so as to be in contact with the conveyed paper sheet below the paper sheet conveyance path on the leaf feeding port side, the impeller having a plurality of long blades and a plurality of short blades. It was decided to provide a blade.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of an impeller applied to the paper sheet storage device of the present invention.
Reference numerals correspond to those in FIG. 5, and 3 is a blade.

In FIG. 5, the impeller 1 is provided with only one kind of the impeller 2, but in the present invention, the impeller 1 is provided.
In addition, two types of blades, blade 2 and blade 3, are provided. Then, the blade 2 has a length sufficient to hold down the terminal portions of the banknotes 7 sent to the batch storing unit 8 from rising, and the blade 3 has a short length. hand,
After coming into contact with the preceding banknote 7a, it rises before the blades 2 and partitions the banknotes before and after being continuously fed so as to prevent the banknotes from colliding with each other. The blade 2 and the blade 3 are arranged and fitted in the same slit 1a. By doing so, it is not necessary to separately provide a slit for the blade 3, and the manufacturing process is simplified accordingly.

FIG. 2 is a functional explanatory view of the impeller in the paper sheet storage device of the present invention. The reference numerals correspond to those in FIGS. 1 and 6. Even if the blade 2a that is in contact with the end of the banknote 7a is not released from the banknote 7a at the final stage when the preceding banknote 7a is sent to the batch holding unit 8,
Since the blade 3a having a shorter length is first released and rises, it is possible to block the front of the succeeding bill 7b and prevent the preceding bill 7a and the succeeding bill 7b from colliding with each other. On the other hand, since the blade 2 is formed long,
It is possible to effectively hold down the rear ends of the banknotes stacked in the batch holding unit 8 and prevent them from floating.

In the above embodiment, the blade 2 and the blade 3
Although the and are arranged side by side at the same position, they are not necessarily provided at the same position, and the positions may be displaced from each other. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the bill payout unit is described as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Further, what is stored is not limited to banknotes, but can be applied to the case of storing other paper sheets such as gift certificates and cards.
