Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a paper sheet dispenser applicable to a banknote dispenser such as a cash dispenser, a cash dispenser, a money changer, and a vending machine, and more particularly to a stacker in the paper dispenser. The present invention relates to a delivery storage box for paper sheets, a temporary paper sheet stacking apparatus, a feeding apparatus for stacked paper sheets, and a shipping port opening / closing apparatus.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, a cash dispenser used for exchanging a prize in a public stadium has an operation panel 202, a display 203, and a dispensing port 204 operated by a user on the front surface as shown in FIG. The rear surface (rear surface) of the operation room 205, which is separated from the partition wall 207 and faces the operation room 205, is open so that the operator can perform operations such as cash replenishment and maintenance inspection at any time. In this cash dispenser 201, a bill dispenser 206 as disclosed in JP-A-7-220139 is detachably incorporated.

39 to 44 show the bill dispensing device 20.
6 is a vertical sectional side view showing FIG. The bill dispensing device 206 is
The banknotes P for payout are vertically stacked and stored, and a spring 211 and a backing plate (compression plate) 21 for laterally applying a load to the stacked banknotes.
A cassette type bill feeding storage 213 having a built-in load applying mechanism 226 composed of two and a backing plate 212 for accumulated bills.
A feed roller (separation roller) 21 that comes into frictional contact with the surface of the banknote P on the opposite side of the banknote and delivers the banknotes one by one in the creeping direction
4 and a vertical feeding path 215 for vertically feeding the bill P fed out and guided by the feed roller 214 by the sandwiching twin endless belt, and the bill P is horizontally changed at the uppermost portion of the vertical feeding path 215. Horizontal feeding path 216 for facing and conveying
Then, in the middle of the horizontal feed path 216, the banknotes are conveyed one by one and stacked vertically until the specified number is reached, and the electromagnetic solenoid or motor 217 is activated to raise the vantagraph type lifting table (protruding bottom member) 218. Of the stacking banknotes to the same level position as the horizontal feeding path 216 and discharging the stacking bills to the horizontal feeding path 216 (temporary stacking and holding unit) 219, and the horizontal feeding path 216. A dispensing port 220 provided at the front end for ejecting the deposited banknotes ejected from the temporary accumulation ejection device 219, and an ejection port 220
A shutter plate 221 for opening and closing, and a horizontal feed path 216
Is provided at the rear end of the banknote, and an outlet 222 for the operator to collect the banknotes that the operator has forgotten to take out at the outlet 220, and a cassette-type banknote payout storage box 213 of the banknotes to the temporary stacking and discharging device 219. When an abnormality (authenticity, paper folding, double feeding, miscount, skew, etc.) is detected and discriminated by a bill discriminating unit (not shown) during conveyance, the temporary stacking and discharging device 21
9, a cassette-type reject banknote collection box 224 for driving the switching gate 223 provided to switch the conveyance direction of the banknotes P to collect the banknotes having trouble.

FIG. 39 shows a stacking operation state of the temporary stacking and discharging device 219 in the bill dispensing device 206. The cassette type bill feeding storage 213 to the feed roller 214
The banknote P fed out by the banknotes is guided by the banknote guide 225, and via the vertical feed path 215 and a part of the horizontal feed path 216, the lift table 21 that forms the bottom surface of the temporary stacking and discharging device 219.
It is thrown one by one on 8 and accumulates. When the number of accumulated sheets reaches the designated number, the feed roller 214 and the vertical feeding path 21
5 and the belt driving of the vertical feeding path 216 are stopped, and the electromagnetic solenoid or motor 217 for driving up and down is activated. As a result, as shown in FIG. 40, the elevating table 218 mounts the accumulated banknotes and ascends, and the table surface approaches the level position of the horizontal feeding path 216. Then, when the belt driving of the horizontal feeding path 216 is started, the stacked banknotes P are fed by the sandwiching twin endless belt of the horizontal feeding path 216 and carried to the dispensing port 220, as shown in FIG. 41. If this withdrawal port 22
When the payout bill at 0 is not taken out by the user within a predetermined time, as shown in FIG.
43, the forgotten banknotes are returned and transported to the exit 222, and the operator collects the forgotten banknotes P at the exit 222, as shown in FIG.

In the case of replenishing bills for payout in the bill paying-out device 206, as shown in FIG. 44, the cassette type bill payout storage 213 is temporarily pulled out from the machine casing, and the backing plate 211 is pulled by hand to replenish bills. After inserting the stack of sheets, the storage 213 is pushed back into the machine casing. Further, in order to collect the rejected banknotes P in the rejected banknote collection box 224, the cassette-type rejected banknote collection box 224 is once pulled out from the machine casing, and the rejected banknotes P are collected.
After taking out the bill from the storage, the reject bill collection container 224 is pushed back into the machine casing.

FIG. 45 shows a modification of the above-mentioned conventional example, in which a bill storage 230 for paying out is fixed to a machine casing and is of a non-cassette type (non-detachable type). Even in such a device, when replenishing the bills for payout, the bill P is replenished after the load applying mechanism 226 in the bill storage 230 is temporarily removed or withdrawn.

[0007]

In the first place, the reason why the banknote payout storage 213 is equipped with the load applying mechanism 226 is that the banknotes that are vertically stacked are stored and the number of remaining banknotes in the vertical storage is small. In this case, in order to secure the feeding of the bill by the friction separation of the feed roller 214, a pressing load is applied to the deposited bill so as to secure the frictional force of the feed roller 214 above a certain level. However, when replenishing bills, it is necessary to remove the cassette type bill feeding storage 206 from the machine casing and temporarily remove or withdraw the load applying mechanism 226. This bill replenishment time is the same as the bill dispensing device 206.
Since it becomes the rest period of itself, it not only inconveniences the user, but also reduces the actual operating time of the device, which leads to smooth operation.

As can be seen from Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-220139, in the temporary stacking and discharging device 219, the raised stacking banknotes are discharged by a nipping and conveying twin endless belt including a lower endless belt and an upper endless belt (not shown). However, if the lower endless belt on the bottom continues to rotate while the pile of bills to be dispensed is being piled up, the piled bills may collapse or deform (wrinkles, folds, breakage, etc.) Since it causes defects, the drive system of the lower endless belt is actually divided into a system different from other transport drive systems by using a dedicated drive motor or electromagnetic clutch, etc. I'm trying to stop. However, driving and controlling only the lower endless belt that constitutes a part of the horizontal feeding path 216 at a special timing causes complication of the entire drive / control system, leading to high cost of the apparatus. Further, immediately after starting and immediately before stopping, which corresponds to the acceleration / deceleration period of belt running, a time lag is inevitably incurred, and the pinching pressure discharge by the twin belts after banknote accumulation is insufficient.

The banknotes piled up by the temporary stacking and discharging device 219 are fed through the horizontal feeding path 216 by a pinching and conveying double endless belt, and the double endless belt is pinched depending on the thickness of the piled banknotes. The spacing must be variable. In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-220139,
One of the twin endless belts for pinching and conveying is supported by a floating frame (not shown) that is elastically floatable with respect to the machine casing. Further, there is also one that uses a complicated link mechanism or a load member for press-contacting a twin endless belt. However, these sandwiching interval adjustment mechanisms cause the device configuration to become complicated, leading to high device cost. In particular, when the length of the feed path is long, the attachment area of the floating frame and the like also becomes long, resulting in an increase in the number of parts such as springs.

The shutter plate 221 is driven to drive the dispensing port 2
Although 04 can be closed, since a user's hand or the like may be caught in the shutter plate 221 as a foreign substance, a sensor for detecting the presence or absence of a foreign substance is provided to stop the drive of the shutter plate 221 in an emergency. I am trying.
However, since an emergency stop control system for the sensor and the shutter plate is required, this has been a factor of increasing the cost of the device.

In view of the above problems, the first aspect of the present invention
The object of the above is to provide a stacking storage container for accumulated paper sheets that can surely be drawn out to the end as long as the remaining amount of paper sheets is not provided and a paper sheet can be easily replenished at any time without providing a load applying mechanism. It is to provide a paper sheet dispenser.

A second object of the present invention is to enable stacking of banknotes while driving a double-friction rotating member for pinching and discharging the banknotes.
An object of the present invention is to provide a paper sheet dispenser equipped with a temporary sheet stacking and discharging means capable of realizing cost reduction.

A third object of the present invention is to make it possible to automatically change the sandwiching interval of the twin endless belt according to the thickness of the banknote to be fed without using a complicated mechanism such as a floating frame. An object of the present invention is to provide a paper sheet dispenser equipped with a leaf feeding means.

A fourth object of the present invention is to provide a paper sheet dispenser equipped with a delivery port opening / closing means capable of emergency stop of the shutter member of the delivery port without providing a detection control system such as a foreign matter detection sensor. Especially.

In the paper sheet dispenser, the stacked paper sheet feeding means includes a stack paper sheet feeding means for carrying out paper sheets in a contact traveling region between the first endless belt and the second endless belt. A twin conveying endless belt for nipping and conveying, which has an axial displacement guide means for allowing the rotation center of both end belt wheels of at least one of the first and second endless belts to be displaceable. , Both guide direction lines intersect below the displacement range of the rotation center. If the rotation axis of the other endless belt does not change, a friction wheel (roller) may be used instead of the other endless belt.

In order to solve the fourth problem, the fourth aspect of the present invention

That is, the fourth means of the present invention is to store a paper sheet in a storage section for accumulating and storing the paper sheet, and a friction material is brought into contact with the bottom surface of the storage section to discharge the paper sheet in the creeping direction from the bottom discharge port.

Here, as the torque limiter means, a geared motor with a torque limiter may be used, but an endless belt or endless rope having a shutter member partially fixed thereto is stretched on a belt wheel that is rotationally driven by being connected to a drive source. It is possible to adopt a structure that is constructed by mounting.

[Operation] The paper sheet separated from the accumulated paper sheet in the storage portion by the paper sheet separating means is sent to the paper sheet double feeding preventing means, and the entrance of the accompanying paper sheet is blocked, and one leaf Are delivered one by one.

The paper sheet delivered from the delivery storage is conveyed toward the delivery path by the paper sheet feeding means, and the abnormality of the paper sheet is discriminated by the discrimination means on the way of the feeding path. When the paper sheet is ineligible by the discrimination means, the paper sheet is distributed to the collection route by the destination switching means.
When the paper sheets are eligible, entry into the delivery route is permitted.
When the paper sheets are sent to the delivery path, the paper sheets are temporarily stacked and stacked by the paper sheet temporary stacking and discharging means, and when the specified number of sheets is reached, the stacked paper sheets are collected. It is delivered together. The discharged stacked paper sheets are sequentially sent to the exit port by the stacked paper sheet feeding means in a stacked state. After that, or alternatively, the accumulated paper sheets at the delivery port are sent back to the collection port by the accumulated paper sheet feeding means.

Here, in the first means of the present invention, the above-mentioned sheet multi-feed preventing means comprises pressure contact type multi-feed preventing means and paper sheet insertion assisting means. Since the paper sheet insertion assisting means is provided immediately before the double feed prevention means, the supply force of the paper sheets to the pressure contact winding area is the pressing force with the paper sheets being clamped, and the sufficient insertion force. Therefore, it is possible to reliably feed the sheets one by one without causing the winding failure of the pressure contact type double feed preventing means.

By the way, when the paper sheet insertion assisting means is constituted by the winding roller or the like, it is difficult to strongly pinch the leading edge of the paper sheet discharged from the discharge port. This is because the pressure contact force must be increased in order to firmly pinch it, but if the pressure contact force is increased, similar to the case of the pressure contact type double feed prevention means, defective paper sheet entrapment occurs. . However, according to the first means of the present invention, a marginal space is temporarily generated in advance, and the leading edge side of the paper sheet is inserted into and received in this in a non-resistance state, and then the paper sheet is sandwiched. Therefore, securing paper sheets and strong insertion can be achieved.

Therefore, according to the first means of the present invention, even when a plurality of paper sheets are simultaneously ejected from the accommodating section for accumulating the paper sheets, the paper sheet double feeding prevention means 2 Since it is possible to reliably prevent double feed, it is not necessary to attach a load applying mechanism that applies a pressing force to the accumulated paper sheets in the storage section. Open type storage is enough. For this reason, the upper and side surfaces of the storage section can be left open, so that the paper sheets can be replenished at any time.
Further, since the frictional force of the paper sheet separating means can be reduced as compared with the conventional one, it is possible to prolong the life of the friction material of the paper sheet separating means, and to use the drive motor of low output torque. It will be possible.

In the paper sheet dispenser provided with such a paper sheet double feed preventing means, a paper sheet feeding storage is installed near the back surface of the machine casing, and the back surface or the top surface of the storage portion is filled with banknotes. With the configuration in which the opening is provided as a mouth, paper sheets can be replenished in the storage section at any time on the operation room side, and the idle period of the paper sheet dispenser can be eliminated.

Further, a plurality of paper sheet feeding storages are installed, and the contact paper sheet that draws in the paper sheets fed out from each paper sheet feeding storage and delivers them to the feeding path of the paper sheet feeding means. In the configuration including the paper feeding means, even when the paper sheets in one of the storage boxes are fed out and used up, the paper sheets in the other storage box are continuously fed to the paper sheet via the communication paper sheet feeding means. Since it can be sent out to kind feeding means,
Meanwhile, paper sheets can be replenished to one of the storages. Further, when the types of paper sheets in one storage case are different from the types of paper sheets in the other storage case, it is possible to collectively dispense different types of accumulated paper sheets.

In the structure in which the plurality of paper sheet delivery storages are arranged in different stages, the space occupied by the paper sheet dispenser can be reduced. Further, in the configuration in which each of the plurality of paper sheet feeding storage shelves is arranged in the form of an upper and lower platform toward the rear surface of the machine casing, when the operator replenishes each storage shed with paper sheets, Since it is open right above, there is an advantage that the refilling operation is easy.

On the other hand, in the case where the paper sheet insertion assisting means in the paper sheet double feed preventing means has elastic means for giving an elastic force, inertia is suppressed as compared with the case where a weight body is used. Therefore, the feeding speed can be increased.

Here, in the second means, the paper sheet temporary stacking and discharging means has a friction rotary material emergence hole opened to the elevating base member supporting the lower friction rotary material via the elastic spacing means. The protruding bottom member is supported. At the bottom of the elevating base member, the protruding bottom member is stopped by the bottom stopper, and in such a state, the paper sheets are thrown out one by one into the paper sheet accumulating housing, so that the paper sheets are almost vertically oriented. Accumulate in piles. Even during this accumulation period, the lower friction rotating material continues to rotate, but the contact level of the lower friction rotating material is approached by the elastic spacing maintaining means and is separated below the level of the friction rotating material appearing / lowering hole of the bottom member. Therefore, the lower friction rotating material does not come into contact with the bottom surface of the accumulated paper sheets, and the accumulated paper sheets do not collapse or break. Then, when the specified number is reached, the elevating base member is driven by the elevating drive mechanism and starts to ascend. When the elevating base member rises, the elastic gap holding means lifts the protruding bottom member away from the bottom stopper, and at the same time, the level of the friction rotary member entrance / exit hole of the protruding bottom member and the contact level of the lower friction rotary member are Narrow the intervals. When the elevating base member continues to rise, the top surface of the piled paper sheets stacked on the rising bottom member that rises is pressed against the continuously rotating upper friction rotary member and at the same time continues to rotate due to its reaction. Since the side friction rotating member protrudes upward from the friction rotating member retracting hole of the bottom member and contacts the bottom surface of the accumulated paper sheet, the accumulated paper sheet continues to rotate. It will be sandwiched and discharged.

As described above, according to the second means of the present invention, since the protruding bottom portion is supported by the elevating base member via the elastic spacing holding means, the upper friction rotation is performed even during the temporary accumulation period of the paper sheets. The material and the lower friction rotating material can be rotated, and it is not necessary to use an independent drive source, a clutch, or the like, and the entire drive / control system can be simplified.

The elastic spacing means is interposed between the elevating base member and the protruding bottom member, and the protruding bottom member at the lowermost position of the elevating base member is unconstrained or pulled downward in a state close to it. A spring member (a coil spring, a leaf spring, or the like) that biases the coil can be used. At the bottom of the elevating base member, if the urging force is given downward so that the squeezing bottom member can be stopped by the bottom stopper, the squeezing bottom member is stable without play at the initial stage of stacking paper sheets, You can arrange and accumulate paper sheets. Further, when the top surface of the accumulated paper sheet hits the upper friction rotating member, the shaft of the lower friction rotating member is elastically displaced downward even if the shaft of the upper friction rotating member does not move. The remaining length can be absorbed, the collapse of the accumulated paper sheets and the like can be suppressed by buffering the impact force, and the lifting base member can be raised faster.

Further, when the upper friction rotating member and the lower friction rotating member are composed of endless belts, shaft displacement guide means for allowing the center of rotation of the belt wheels on both ends of the upper endless belt to be displaceable is provided, and both guides are provided. In the configuration in which the direction lines intersect below the displacement range of the rotation center, the upper endless belt can be allowed to move up and down in a self-restoring manner. This is because when the force that moves it up on the belt surface acts, the center of rotation of the belt pulleys at both ends tends to move upward due to the axial displacement guide means, but due to this displacement, the distance between the centers of rotation of the belt wheels at both ends becomes longer. Therefore, the belt tension increases more than before, and as a result, the belt self-returns so as to lower the belt surface. For this reason, when the top of the accumulated banknotes hits such an upper endless belt due to the elevation of the elevating base member,
The belt surface moves upward according to the thickness of the deposited banknotes, and the deposited banknotes can be held without breaking.

Here, in the third means of the present invention, since the accumulated paper sheet feeding means also has the above-mentioned axial displacement guide means, the belt surface self-restores in accordance with the thickness of the accumulated banknotes. It is possible to hold the accumulated banknotes without collapsing while moving freely. Not only horizontal transportation but also skew transportation and vertical transportation are possible. In particular, since the belt wheel can move freely, the stacking banknotes can be smoothly inserted and withdrawn at the belt wheel portion, and smooth transportation can be realized.

In order to realize the simplicity of the structure as the axial displacement guide means, it is preferable to use a long slot for a bearing into which the axle of the belt pulley on both ends fits. Further, in the case of having an angle adjusting mechanism capable of adjusting the intersecting angle of both guide direction lines, the clamping pressure can be adjusted appropriately.

As described above, since the belt wheel can move freely, it is important to transmit the driving torque without any trouble. In the present invention, the endless belt or the endless rope for driving force transmission, which is rich in elasticity and elasticity, is stretched between the original vehicle that is connected to the drive source and is driven to rotate and the driven vehicle that is fixed to the drive shaft that fits in the bearing slot. I am trying to hang it. Attaching a tension mechanism using a tension wheel complicates the configuration. Further, if the direction of free movement of the belt wheel is aligned with the tangential direction of a circle centered on the original axle, the degree of freedom of the positional relationship is reduced. Therefore, if an endless belt or an endless rope for driving force transmission, which is rich in elasticity and elasticity, is stretched so that the axial distance can be varied, it is possible to realize the simplicity of the configuration and the securing of the degree of freedom in the arrangement relationship. Stacked banknotes can be transported even in a free posture.

Further, in the fourth means of the present invention, the above-mentioned delivery port opening / closing means is interposed between the shutter member for closing or opening the delivery port, the drive source for driving the shutter member through the transmission mechanism, and the transmission mechanism. Torque limiter means. When a foreign object such as a hand enters the exit of the shutter member during the closing operation of the shutter member and is caught by the shutter member, the drive load becomes overloaded, causing a slip in the torque limiter means of the transmission mechanism. The front motor node side becomes idle. For this reason, the shutter member does not excessively pinch the foreign matter, so that the foreign matter is not damaged. Since the sensor for detecting the entry of foreign matter and the emergency stop device are not used, the device configuration can be simplified.

In particular, as the torque limiter means, in the structure in which the endless belt or the endless rope having the shutter member partially fixed thereto is stretched on the belt wheel which is rotationally driven by being connected to the drive source, the device cost is reduced. Cost reduction can be realized.

It is an arrow view showing the state where the delivery operation advanced further than the state.

The banknote payout storage 2 (3) has a box-shaped storage section 31 for accumulating and accumulating a large number of banknotes P.
Banknote side exposure hole 45 (45
a, 45b, 45c) with high friction as stacking banknote separating means for projecting the roller peripheral surface into frictional contact with the bottom surface of the banknote stack and shifting the banknote from the bottom discharge port 311 in the creeping direction for discharging. A banknote kick-out roller 37 (37a, 37b, 37c) having a coefficient member (rubber) 49c, and rubber or the like on a part of the roller peripheral surface in front of the banknote discharge path (banknote double-feed allowance path) from the bottom discharge port 311. Lower friction pressure contact drive roller (feed roller) 32 (32a, 32b) with the high friction coefficient member 49a and upper friction pressure contact non-rotating roller (friction roller) 33 formed of sponge or the like.
(33a, 33b), and the leading edge (leading edge) of the banknotes discharged in the pressure contact winding area F between them is received to prevent the entry of the associated banknotes and to contact the high friction coefficient member 49a. The pressure contact type double feed prevention device 320 for feeding out the bills one by one to the outside, and the bottom part provided in the middle of the bill double feed allowance route from the bottom discharge port 311 to the pressure contact winding area F of the pressure contact type double feed prevention device 320. From the outlet 311 to the storage unit 31
And a bill insertion assisting device 360 that repeats the operation of temporarily inserting the leading edge side of the bill appearing outside of the bill and temporarily generating a margin gap G to be received and the action of firmly holding the bill and pressing it against the press contact winding area F. have.

Storage part 31 of the bill payout storage 2 (3)
Is a side plate 31a, 31b, a front plate 31c, and a space W in the center.
Back plates 31d and 31e with open openings and bill face exposure holes 45
(45a, 45b, 45c) is a bottom plate 31 having an opening, and as shown in FIG.

A bill kicking roller 37 of the bill separating means.
(37a, 37b, 37c) are fixed to a rotary shaft 38a of a belt wheel 38 which is rotationally driven by a transmission belt 39, and the upper portion of the roller peripheral surface is exposed to the bill surface 45 (45a, 45a 45b, 45c) to the upper storage space.

Friction roller 3 of pressure contact type double feed prevention device 320
The floating shafts 3 (33a, 33b) have spring cases 35 (35
a, 35b) and a compression coil spring 34 (34a,
34b) elastically urges downward. The friction roller 33 is fixed during rotation of the feed roller 32, does not rotate, and obtains strong friction pressure contact.

The friction material is crushed in the press-contact winding area F between the non-rotating friction roller 33 and the feed roller 32, and even if the leading edge of the bill is applied to this, there is no gap to enter the bill. The edges are locked. However, when the high-friction member 49a of the feed roller 32 makes frictional contact with the lowest banknote surface and shifts it sideways, only that banknote is rolled in and fed out, and the banknotes that overlap it are still abutted against the pressure contact winding area F. Has been. However, since abrasion progresses at the same friction pressure contact portion, when the feed roller 32 is not rotating, it can be turned by a built-in one-way clutch in a direction opposite to the winding direction by a predetermined angle. Reference numeral 44 is a bill guide plate that covers a portion other than the portion facing the feed roller 32.

The bill insertion assisting device 360 includes a belt wheel 48 fixed to the rotary shaft 38a of the bill ejecting roller 38.
In the belt wheel 48a that rotates synchronously via the transmission belt 50 that is installed on the b,
It is fixed to the rotating shaft of the belt wheel 48a and has a high friction coefficient member 49b on a part of its peripheral surface, and the intermittent feed friction roller 36
(36a, 36b, 36c), a swing contact receiving member 40 provided directly above the intermittent feed friction roller 36 with the banknote double feed allowable path interposed therebetween, and the swing contact receiving member 40.
Shafts 42 (42a, 42b) swingably supporting the swing arm portions 40a, 40b connected to both ends of the swing arm portions 40a, 40b, and the other end of the swing arm portions 40a, 40b are pulled upward to swing swing receiving member 40. Load coil spring 41 for urging the side downward
(41a, 41b) and the swinging arm 4 for preventing the swinging contact receiving member 40 from crossing down the bill double feed allowable path.
The stopper 43 (43, which restricts the swinging range of 0a and 40b)
a, 43b). The intermittent feed friction roller 36 (36a, 36b, 36c) is configured as an eccentric ring so that the portion of the high friction coefficient member 49b appears and disappears in the friction material retracting hole 46 (46a, 46b, 46c) only once per one rotation. It has become. In addition, the feed roller 32 includes the belt wheel 47 b and the belt wheel 4 of the bill insertion assisting device 360.
It rotates synchronously with the intermittent feed friction roller 36 via a transmission belt 51 stretched over 7a.

When the bill ejecting roller 37 rotates, as shown in FIG. 10, the lowest bill among the accumulated bills P is discharged in the creeping direction by the friction contact of the bill ejecting roller 37 and the intermittent feeding friction is generated. Since the high friction coefficient member 49b of the roller 36 is retracted right below the friction material withdrawal hole 46, the bill double feed allowance path is opened and a margin gap G is created.

Therefore, the leading edge side of the discharged paper money P enters and is received in the margin space G in a non-resistance state. After that, as shown in FIG. 11, when the high friction coefficient member 49b rises through the friction material retracting hole 46 with the rotation of the intermittent feed friction roller 36, the bill P received in the spare gap G is received by the swing pressing member 40. It is strongly sandwiched between Since the oscillating pressing member 40 is elastically urged downward by the load coil spring 41, the oscillating pressing member 40 floats up according to the protrusion amount of the high friction coefficient member 49b, but during this time, the bill P is strongly sandwiched by the pressure of the load coil spring 41. While having a high friction coefficient member 49b
Is rotated, the leading edge thereof is pressed toward the press-contact winding area F.

As described above, since the bill insertion assisting device 360 provided immediately in front of the pressure contact type double feeding prevention device 320 makes the insertion force stronger due to the transitional nip conveyance of the bill P to the pressure contact winding area F. As a result, no defective winding of the pressure contact type double feeding prevention device 320 occurs and it is possible to reliably feed the sheets one by one. Therefore, even if two or more banknotes separated by the banknote ejecting roller 37 are overlapped at the same time, the press contact type double feed preventing device 320 can reliably feed one banknote, and therefore the banknote ejecting roller 37 The frictional force of can be reduced compared to the conventional one. Therefore, it is not necessary to attach a load applying mechanism to the storage unit 31, so that bills can be replenished at any time from the upper surface or the back surface.
Therefore, the bill payout suspension period can be eliminated. In particular, since the frictional force of the bill ejecting roller 13 as a separating device can be reduced as compared with the conventional one, the burden on the bill ejecting roller 13 is reduced and the life of the roller can be extended. A drive motor with low output torque can be used.

In the bill insertion assisting device 360 shown in FIGS. 6 to 11, a swing type elastic pressure applying mechanism is adopted. A weight may be used instead of the swinging pressing member 40. However, when the payout speed is increased (when the rotation speed of the bill ejecting roller 13 is increased), the vertical movement cycle of the weight is Since the length becomes shorter, it may be impossible to follow the pinching timing due to inertia. Therefore, when a weight is used, it is suitable for low speed payout. A structure in which the pressing member is pressed downward by an elastic means such as a coil spring is more suitable for high-speed payout since the inertia can be suppressed. If necessary, a leaf spring which also serves as the load coil spring 41 and the pressing member 40 may be used.

Contrary to the above case, the swing arm portion 4 described above
When the shafts 42a and 42b of 0a and 40b are positioned on the pressure contact type double feed prevention device 320 side, when the high friction coefficient member 49b is separated from the swing pressing member 40, the swing pressing member 40 is instantaneously moved. It loses its support and falls to the stoppers 43a and 43b with a slight drop. However, in this example, since the swing center of the swing pressing member 40 is on the kicking roller 38 side, when the high friction coefficient member 49b is separated from the swing pressing member 40, the swing arm portion 40a, Four
0b has returned to the state of being stopped by the stoppers 43a and 43b. Therefore, it is possible to reduce damage to the swing arm portions 40a, 40b and 43a, 43b and the occurrence of abnormal noise.

FIG. 12 is a right side view in vertical section of another bill insertion assisting device 380 in the bill dispensing device.
1 shows a state in which the leading edge of the banknote P has entered and is received.
3 shows a state in which the tip of the banknote P is pressed against the pressure contact winding area F. 12 and 13, the same parts as those shown in FIGS. 6 to 11 are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

The bill insertion assisting device 380 has an elevating type elastic pressure applying mechanism 385 provided directly above the intermittent feeding friction roller 36. Lifting type elastic pressure mechanism 38
Reference numeral 5 denotes the lifting / lowering pressing member 386 and the lifting / lowering pressing member 3
Coil spring 387 for elastically urging 86 downward, and support frame 3 for restricting the vertical movement range of the vertical pressing member 386.
And 88. The difference from the rocking type elastic pressure applying mechanism shown in FIGS. 6 to 11 is that the rocking pressing member 40 is replaced by an elevating pressing member 386. In the rocking type elastic pressure applying mechanism, since the contact point is on the shaft 42 side when the high friction coefficient member 49b starts to contact the rocking pressing member 40, the moment arm length is short and the intermittent feed friction is small. Unless the torque of the roller 36 is set relatively high, it is difficult to push up the swinging pressing member 40. But,
In this elevating type elastic pressurizing mechanism 385, the length of the arm for the moment does not matter and there is an advantage that the torque of the swing pressing member 40 can be made relatively low.

It is a vertical cross-sectional right side view which shows the conveyance state of the banknote accumulation of a 4th conveyance path.

The temporary stacking / discharging device 11 includes, in front of the fourth conveying path 8, a push-out bottom plate 64 in which the belt pulling holes 91 (91a, 91b) are opened, and a bottom stop projection for stopping the push-out bottom plate 64. A banknote stacking housing 60 defining a banknote stacking space S surrounded by a front plate 62 having 66 (66a, 66b), a rear plate 63 having bottom stopper protrusions 81 (81a, 81b), and side plates 61a, 61b, and The second lower endless belt 16 (16a, 16b) facing the belt withdrawal holes 91a, 91b is supported below the delivery bottom plate 64, and an elevating base member 65 for performing an elevating operation by an elevating drive mechanism and an elevating base member 65. The belt level of the second lower endless belt 16 at the lowest position is kept below the level of the belt withdrawal hole 91 of the protruding bottom plate 64 stopped by the bottom stop projections 66, 81. As the descending base member 65 rises, the bottom plate 65 is lifted up from the bottom stop projections 66 and 81 and raised, and the distance between the belt level of the second lower endless belt 16 and the level of the belt retracting hole 91 is held close. Leaf springs 82 (82a, 82b, 82c, 8) for maintaining the distance
2d) and the second lower endless belt 16 (16a, 16b)
And a first upper endless belt 17 (17a, 17b) supported above the banknote stacking space S.
The leaf spring 82 connects the elevating base member 65 and the protruding bottom plate 64, and is installed at the lowest position of the elevating base member 65 so as to gently pull the protruding bottom plate 64 downward.

The second lower endless belt 16 (16a, 16b) attached to the elevating base member 65 includes a belt wheel 83 and a belt wheel 9 which are rotated by a conveyance drive motor (not shown).
7 is rotated via a transmission belt 84 stretched around 7. A long hole 98 is formed in the side plate 61b so that the shaft of the second lower endless belt 16 can freely move up and down by elevating the elevating base member 65. Further, since the belt wheel 97, which is a follower vehicle, also moves up and down as the lift base member 65 moves up and down, a tension mechanism 89 is attached to tension the slack side of the transmission belt 84. The tension mechanism 89 is rotatably supported at the tip of the arm plate 86 and an arm plate 86 that is swingable about a shaft 85, a spring 88 that biases the arm plate 86 in one direction, and is transmitted. The tension roller 87 is formed by pressing the slack side of the belt 84 from the inside to the outside.

On the other hand, the lift base member 65 is placed and fixed on the lift slider 72. The lift slider 72 slides back and forth along the slide guide rail 73. The mechanism for reciprocally sliding the elevating slider 72 is a slider / crank mechanism. One end of the crank 70 is fixed to the output shaft 67a of the elevating drive motor 67, and the other end of the crank 70 is attached to the tip of the crank 70 with a pin 68. The other end portion is composed of a connecting link 71 which rotates around the side surface of the elevating slider 72 with a pin 69 and is paired therewith.

The fourth conveyance path 8 is provided with a first upper endless belt 17 (17a, 17b) which is vertically movable and a first lower endless belt 15 (15a, 15) traveling in contact with the first upper endless belt 17 (17a, 17b).
b) and the second lower endless belt 16 (16
a, 16b). First lower endless belt 15 (1
5a, 15b) are rotated by a transmission belt 80a and a belt wheel 79a that are rotated by a conveyance drive motor (not shown). A tapping impeller 90a is fixed to the drive shaft 99 of the first lower endless belt 15, and when the banknotes are thrown out one by one into the banknote stacking space S in the forward feeding operation of the banknotes. The tapping impeller 90a knocks down the banknotes so that the banknotes thrown out do not hinder the stacking of the next banknote.

The first upper endless belt 17 (17a, 17
The rotation shaft 94a of the drive belt wheel 98a and the rotation shaft 94b of the driven belt wheel 98b in (b) have a shaft displacement guide hole (bearing slot) 7
4a, 74b and 75a, 75b. FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, both guide direction lines A and B of the shaft displacement guide holes 74 and 75 are opened upward in an inverted C shape so that the shaft displacement guide holes 74 and
It intersects below 75. This axis shift guide hole 7
The rotating shafts 94a, 94b fitted in 4, 75 can move up and down, but since both guide direction lines A, B are open on the upper side, when a force for moving them up on the belt surface acts, the rotating shafts 94a, 94b but tries to shift upward, because at the same time center distance L _AB by its displacement is increased, the belt tension is increased than before, thereby resettable to lower the belt surface.

The drive transmission system for driving and rotating the rotating shaft 94a of the drive belt wheel 98a includes a driven spur gear 78b meshing with a driving spur gear 78a fixed to the shaft 99, and a driven spur gear 7.
A drive belt wheel 76b fixed to the gear shaft 95a of 8b;
It has a driven belt wheel 76a fixed to the rotating shaft 94a, and a round belt 77a stretched between the driving belt wheel 76b and the driven belt wheel 76a and having a high elasticity.

The banknote P distributed from the third conveyance path 6 to the fourth conveyance path 8 by the destination switching gate 10 is
The first upper endless belt 17 (17a, 17a,
17b) and the first lower endless belt 15 (15a, 15b)
It is sandwiched and conveyed horizontally, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 17.
It is thrown out and stacked in the banknote stacking space S of the temporary stacking and discharging device 11. Lifting base member 65 during this deposition period
Is at the lowest position, and the protruding bottom plate 64 is loosely pulled downward by the plate spring 82, so that the bottom stop protrusions 66, 8
1 is supported without play. Further, during the stacking period, the hitting impeller 90a knocks down the ejected banknotes downward, so that the banknotes are stacked in the banknote stacking space S in a substantially aligned state.

Even during this accumulation period, the second lower endless belt 16 is driven and rotated by the drive shaft 99 like the first upper endless belt 17 and the first lower endless belt 15, but as shown in FIG. In addition, since the belt level of the second lower endless belt 16 is squeezed out (retracted) below the level of the belt withdrawal hole 91 of the bottom plate 64, the second lower endless belt 16 is placed on the bottom surface of the deposited banknote P. There is no contact, and the banknotes P do not collapse or break.

When the number of deposited banknotes reaches the specified number,
The ejection of banknotes into the banknote stacking space S stops, the lifting drive motor 67 is activated, the crank 70 rotates in the direction of the arrow (clockwise) in FIG. 14, and the lifting base member 65 is raised.
When the elevating base member 65 is at the lowest position, the leaf spring 82 comes out and pulls and urges the bottom plate 64 downward. Therefore, even if the elevating base member 65 is slightly raised, the leaf spring 82 is still near the free length. Although the protruding bottom plate 64 is still supported by the bottom stop projections 66 and 81, when the elevating base member 65 rises to some extent, the leaf spring 82 is compressed due to the load of the accumulated banknotes P and the elevating base member 65 moves. When it further rises, the protruding bottom plate 64 floats up from the bottom stop protrusions 66 and 81, and rises at the rate of rise of the elevating base member 65. Here, until the protruding bottom plate 64 rises from the bottom stop protrusions 66, 81, the belt withdrawal hole 91
The belt surface of the second lower endless belt 16 is close to the level. Then, as shown in FIG. 22, the protruding bottom plate 64
Is further raised, the top surface of the piled banknotes P is pressed against the first upper endless belt 17, and at the same time, the second lower endless belt 16 that continues to rotate due to its reaction is pushed out from above the belt withdrawal hole 91 of the bottom plate 64. The stack of piled banknotes P is sandwiched between the first upper endless belt 17 and the second lower endless belt 16 which continue to rotate, as shown in FIG. It is discharged to the mouth 12. When the second lower endless belt 16 projects from the belt withdrawal hole 91, the protruding bottom plate 64 hits the belt wheel shaft of the second lower endless belt 16, so the amount of projection is limited.

Here, the moment the top surface of the piled banknotes P hits the first upper endless belt 17, the state is as shown in FIG. 20, but immediately after that, the state is as shown in FIG. That is, since the top surface of the piled banknotes P abuts on the rotating shaft (driving shaft) 94a side of the first upper endless belt 17, the rotating shaft 94a is elastically restored upward along the axial displacement guide hole 74. Therefore, even if the thickness of the deposited banknotes P on the squeeze bottom plate 64 is different, the bottom surface level of the deposited banknotes P can be always set to the same level, and the deposited banknotes can be discharged from the banknote stacking space S. Further, even after the top surface of the piled banknotes P has contacted the first upper endless belt 17, the elevating base member 65 moves forward by the remaining amount of the elevating stroke. Since it can be released by means of, and the effect of mitigating the impact force is also exerted, the elevating base member 65 can be speeded up.

As shown in FIG. 2, the accumulated banknotes P have a dispensing port 12
The user normally takes out the deposited banknotes P when it is delivered to the user. However, when the deposited banknotes P are not retrieved even after a predetermined time has passed, in order to prevent crime, the loading process of the deposited banknotes P is performed by the fourth conveyance path 8.
And the fifth conveyance path 9. In the taking-in process in the fourth conveyance path 8, the first upper endless belt 17,
The first lower endless belt 15 and the second lower endless belt 15 rotate in the opposite direction to the rotation direction during the above-mentioned shipping processing, and
The accumulated banknotes P shown in FIG. 3 are drawn into the state shown in FIGS. 3 and 24, and delivered to the fifth conveyance path 9 described later.

Here, as described above, the rotation shafts 94a, 94b of the first upper endless belt 17 are connected to the shaft displacement guide holes 74,
Since it is fitted into 75 so that it can be moved freely, it is possible to sandwich piled banknotes P having different thicknesses. When the belt surface is moved upward by the piled banknotes P, the rotating shafts 94a and 94b try to shift upward, but due to the shift, at the same time as shown in FIG.
Since the axial distance L _AB becomes longer as shown in 7, the belt tension is increased than before, thereby resettable to lower the belt surface. This restoring force is the sandwiching force of the stacked banknotes P. If the crossing angle of the guide direction lines A and B is widened, the restoring force becomes stronger. When the deposited banknotes P enter the rotating shaft 94a side, the belt wheel shifts upward and retreats to strengthen the pinching force, so that the deposited banknotes P can be smoothly and reliably entered.

Further, even when the banknotes P are withdrawn from the rotary shaft 95a side, the belt wheel shifts upward and retreats to strengthen the pinching force, so that the banknotes P can be withdrawn smoothly and reliably.

Since the rotating shaft 94a is movable, the driven belt wheel 76a of the transmission belt 77a also moves. In this example, a round belt 77a for driving force transmission, which is rich in elasticity and elasticity, is stretched around the driven belt wheel 76a and the driving belt wheel 76b. For example, if a tension mechanism (tension mechanism) using a tension wheel is attached, the configuration becomes complicated. Also,
If the floating direction of the belt wheel is aligned with the tangential direction of a circle centered on the original axle, the degree of freedom of the positional relationship is reduced. Thus, by stretching the round belt 77a which is rich in elasticity stretch, if so can be varied axial distance L _a shown in FIG. 14, it can be realized to ensure the freedom of simplicity and arrangement of structure, any The banknotes can be transported even in the posture.

25 and 26 show a modified example of the fourth conveyance path. In this modification, the fourth conveyance path can be opened / closed during jamming of banknotes and maintenance / inspection of the apparatus.

An upper belt unit 93 having the first upper endless belt 17 and the like mounted thereon is rotatable around a fulcrum 92, and the first upper endless belt 17 and the first lower endless belt 15 are provided.
The contact with can be released.

It is rotated by 9b. A tapping impeller 90b is fixed to the drive shaft 100 of the third lower endless belt 96, and when the banknotes are thrown out to the reject bin 14 in the backward bill feeding operation, the tapping impeller 90b is fixed. It is designed to knock out rejected banknotes.

The second upper endless belt 18 (18a, 18
The rotation shaft 94c of the drive belt wheel and the rotation shaft 94d of the driven belt wheel in b) are provided with shaft shift guide holes (bearing slots) 74c and 74d.
And are fitted in 75c and 75d. As shown in FIG.
Both guide direction lines C and D of the axis shift guide hole are opened upward in an inverted C shape and intersect below the axis shift guide hole. Rotating shafts 94c, 94d fitted in the shaft displacement guide holes 74, 75
Is free to move up and down, but since both guide direction lines A and B are open on the upper side, when a force to move the guide lines upward is applied to the belt surface, the rotating shafts 94c and 94d try to move upward. However, because of the change, the inter-axis distance L _CD becomes longer at the same time, so that the belt tension increases more than before, and the belt surface self-returns so as to lower it.

The drive transmission system for driving and rotating the rotating shaft 94c of the second upper endless belt 18 is fixed to the driven spur gear 78d meshing with the driving spur gear 78c fixed to the shaft 100, and to the gear shaft 95b of the driven spur gear 78d. Driving belt wheel 76d
And a driven belt wheel 76c fixed to the rotary shaft 94c, a driving belt wheel 76d and a round belt 77b stretched around the driven belt wheel 76ac and having a high elasticity.

The reject bill P distributed from the third conveyance path 6 to the fifth conveyance path 9 by the destination switching gate 10 is the second upper endless belt 18 constituting the fifth conveyance path 9.

As shown in FIG. 3, the sheets are thrown out and stacked in the reject box 14.

In the bill taking-in process, when the piled bills P are transferred from the fourth conveying path to the fifth conveying path, the rotating shaft 94d on the entry side is elastically restored upward along the axis shift guide hole 75. Change. Therefore, even if the deposited banknotes P have different thicknesses, the deposited banknotes P can easily enter. Further, even when the rotary shaft 94c retreats, the rotary shaft 94c moves upward along the shaft displacement guide hole 74 as shown in FIG. 32.
It is easy to exit the deposited banknotes P. When the belt surface is moved upward by the piled banknotes P, the rotary shafts 94c and 94d try to shift upward, but the shift causes the interaxial distance L _CD shown in FIG. 29 to increase at the same time. Than the above, which causes self-recovery so as to lower the belt surface. This restoring force is the sandwiching force of the stacked banknotes P. If the crossing angle of the guide direction lines C and D is widened, the restoring force becomes stronger.

In the fifth conveyance path 9 as well, the rotary shaft 94c
Is movable, the driven belt wheel 76c of the transmission belt 77b also moves. In this example, this driven belt wheel 77
A circular belt 77b for driving force transmission, which is rich in elasticity and elasticity, is stretched between b and the driving belt wheel 76d. Therefore, the axial distance L _b shown in FIG. 32 can be changed. The simplicity of the configuration and the flexibility of the arrangement can be ensured, and the stacked banknotes can be transported in any posture.

[Shutter Device] FIG. 34 is a vertical cross-sectional left side view showing an open state of the shutter device in the present bill dispensing device, and FIG. 35 is an arrow view showing a state cut along the line aa ′ in FIG. 34. 36 is a vertical cross-sectional left side view showing a closed state of a shutter device in the present bill dispensing device, and FIG. 37 is a view showing a state cut along the line aa ′ in FIG. 36.

The shutter device 13 is fixed on both sides of the shutter member 101 and the shutter member 101 that moves up and down along the inner surface of the dispensing port 12, and is slidable along the slide guide rails 103a and 103b. Slider 10
2a and 102b, a round belt 104 in which a belt wheel 106 fixed to the output shaft of a shutter opening / closing drive motor 108 and an idle belt wheel 107 are stretched, and a round belt 10
Clamp member 1 for connecting slider 102b to a part of 4
05 and.

For example, when the shutter member 101 is raised and the dispensing port 12 is being closed, a foreign matter such as a hand enters the dispensing port 12 and becomes caught in the shutter member 101, the driving load is instantaneously applied. Since the overloaded state occurs, the belt wheel 106 slips on the round belt 104 and idles, so that the shutter member 101 does not rise further and the shutter member 101 does not excessively pinch foreign matter.
It is possible to avoid foreign matter damage. Since it does not use a sensor or an emergency stop device to detect foreign matter entering,
The device configuration can be simplified. Especially, since the transmission mechanism of the belt and the belt wheel is used as the torque limiter means,
The device cost can be reduced.

[0092]

As described above, the present invention has the following unique effects.

(1) In the first means, the paper sheet double feeding prevention means is provided with the paper sheet insertion assisting means immediately before the pressure contact type double feeding prevention means. The supply force to the area is the pressing force while holding the paper sheets, a sufficient insertion force can be secured, and the press contact type double feed prevention means does not cause a winding defect, so that the sheets can be fed one by one reliably. You can Therefore, it is not necessary to specially attach a load applying mechanism for applying a pressing force to the accumulated paper sheets in the accommodating unit, and a self-weighted open accommodating unit for vertical stacking or diagonal stacking is sufficient. Therefore, the upper side and the side of the storage section can be left open, so that the sheets can be replenished at any time. Further, since the frictional force of the paper sheet separating means can be reduced as compared with the conventional one, it is possible to prolong the life of the friction material of the paper sheet separating means, and to use the drive motor of low output torque. It will be possible.

(2) In the construction in which the paper feed-out storage is installed near the back of the machine casing and the back or top of the storage is opened as a bill replenishing port, the paper is always stored in the storage on the operation room side. The paper can be replenished and the idle period of the paper sheet dispenser can be eliminated.

(3) A plurality of paper sheet feeding storage boxes are installed, and the paper sheets fed out from each paper sheet feeding storage box are drawn in and delivered to the feeding path of the paper sheet feeding means. In the configuration including the feeding means, even when the paper sheets in one of the storage boxes are fed out and used up, the paper sheets in the other storage box are continuously connected to each other through the communication paper sheet feeding means. Since it can be fed to the feeding means, paper sheets can be replenished in one of the storages during that time. Further, when the types of paper sheets in one storage case are different from the types of paper sheets in the other storage case, it is possible to collectively dispense different types of accumulated paper sheets.

(4) In a configuration in which a plurality of paper sheet feeding storages are arranged in different stages, the space occupied by the paper sheet dispensing machine can be reduced.

(5) In the configuration in which the plurality of paper-sheet feeding storages are arranged in a vertical pattern toward the back of the machine casing, when the operator replenishes the storages with papers, Since the storage box is opened right above, there is an advantage that the replenishment operation is easy.

(6) In the case where the paper sheet insertion assisting means in the paper sheet double feeding preventing means has the elastic means for giving the elastic force, the inertia is suppressed as compared with the case where the weight is used. Therefore, the feeding speed can be increased.

(7) In the second means, since the protruding bottom of the paper sheet temporary stacking and discharging means is supported by the elevating base member via the elastic spacing holding means, the paper sheet temporary stacking period Above all, the upper friction rotating member and the lower friction rotating member can be rotated, and it is not necessary to use an independent drive source, a clutch or the like, and the entire drive / control system can be simplified.

(8) As the elastic spacing means, it is interposed between the elevating base member and the protruding bottom member, and the protruding bottom member at the lowest position of the elevating base member is unrestrained or in a pulled state close to it. When a spring member (coil spring, leaf spring, etc.) that urges downward is used, the urging force is applied downward so that the bottom member that protrudes at the bottom of the lifting base member can be stopped by the bottom stopper. Then, at the beginning of the accumulation of paper sheets, the bottom member squeezes out and stabilizes,
You can arrange and accumulate paper sheets. Further, when the top surface of the accumulated paper sheet hits the upper friction rotating member, the shaft of the lower friction rotating member is elastically displaced downward even if the shaft of the upper friction rotating member does not move. The remaining length can be absorbed, the collapse of the accumulated paper sheets and the like can be suppressed by buffering the impact force, and the lifting base member can be raised faster.

(9) Further, when the upper friction rotating member and the lower friction rotating member are constituted by endless belts, shaft displacement guide means for allowing the center of rotation of both end belt wheels of the upper endless belt to be displaceable is provided, and Both guide direction lines are set to intersect below the displacement range of the rotation center,
In the above means, the upper endless belt can be allowed to move up and down in a self-restoring manner. Even if the banknotes have different thicknesses, the banknotes can be nipped and conveyed without breaking. Not only horizontal transportation but also skew transportation and vertical transportation are possible. In particular, since the belt wheel can move freely, the stacking banknotes can be smoothly inserted and withdrawn at the belt wheel portion, and smooth transportation can be realized.

(10) In the case where the shaft displacement guide means is a bearing long hole into which the axle of the belt car with both ends fits, simplification of the structure can be realized.

(11) Further, when an angle adjusting mechanism capable of adjusting the crossing angle of both guide direction lines is provided, the clamping pressure can be adjusted appropriately.

(12) In this axis shift guide means,
Although the belt wheel is free to move, the endless vehicle for driving force transmission, which is highly elastic, is elastic between the original vehicle that is connected to the drive source and rotates, and the driven vehicle that is fixed to the drive shaft that fits into the bearing slot. Since the belt or endless rope is stretched, the distance between the axes can be changed. The simplicity of the structure and the flexibility of the layout can be ensured, and the stacked banknotes can be transported in any posture.

(13) In the fourth means, when the delivery opening / closing means has a transmission mechanism and a torque limiter means, when a foreign matter such as a hand enters and is caught by the shutter member, a driving load is applied. Will be overloaded, and the driving node will be idle. Therefore, the shutter member does not excessively pinch the foreign matter, and the foreign matter is not damaged. Since the sensor for detecting the entry of foreign matter and the emergency stop device are not used, the device configuration can be simplified.

(14) In particular, in the constitution in which the endless belt or the endless rope having the shutter member partially fixed thereto is stretched around the belt wheel which is rotationally driven by being connected to the drive source as the torque limiter means, The device cost can be reduced.
