Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a paper sheet processing device, and in particular to a sheet processing device capable of performing two operations: stacking paper sheets such as banknotes and separating and sending out the stacked paper sheets. This invention relates to a leaf processing device.

[Backbone of invention]

For example, in a self-operating cash processing device used in a bank, it is desirable that one device has both the functions of deposit processing and withdrawal processing, and furthermore, the banknotes taken into the machine at the time of deposit are separated into different cash registers. It is desirable to have a device that allows deposited banknotes to be returned as disbursed banknotes by stacking them in an orderly manner and feeding out these petiole banknotes one by one when a withdrawal request is made.

For example, a device having the structure shown in No. 11A can be considered as a device for printing banknotes in the middle of the conveyance path.
A conveyor belt 2 and a conveyor belt 3 are wound around the pulley 1, and the conveyor belt 3 is connected to a pulley 9, on which a conveyor belt 8 is wound, through a pulley 4 and five pulleys. The banknotes are conveyed from arrow (a) to arrow (b), but in the middle of the banknote conveyance path, there is a stopper 7 on @6 of the pulley 5 to stop the banknotes. On the other hand, a banknote stopper 14 is provided on the rear end side of the stopped banknotes 12, and a banknote stopper 14 is provided opposite the conveyor belt 3. A pressed plate 13 is provided, and these elements constitute a bill stacking section 15.

During the deposit operation, the banknotes conveyed from the direction (A) shown in the figure are fed into the banknote stacking section 15 along the conveyor belt B. At this time, the stopper 7 is in the upright position, and the push plate 1 is in the upright position.
The banknotes sandwiched between the banknotes 3 and the conveyor belt 3 are blocked by the stopper and are accumulated one after another under the push plate.

That is, although the pressing force exerted by the spring 11 is sufficient to convey the bill along the conveyor belt 6, if the traveling direction is blocked by the stopper 7, the conveyor belt 3 may slip on the back side of the bill. It is set to a moderate level of 11Ij that can be used.

However, according to the above GT configuration, the stopper 7 is pressed during the withdrawal operation.
If the piece is released in the direction of 7g → and shown with a 2-point chain, it will be possible to send it to the 9 directions of all pulleys 12 times, but with this device, Since the conveyance force from the pulley 5 is applied at the time of suspension, the banknotes are sent out in a disorderly direction from the first IBJ with the stoppers 7 open, and the banknotes are separated one by one and then released. Can not.

[Purpose of the invention]

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2 to 7.

In the device of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1iIS2 and 3,
Bill guide 1Z65 and 48, bill storage box 16
is configured. A push plate 50 is movable up and down along a slide shaft 47 supported by a shaft holder 42 fixed to a guide 48. The push plate 50 is supported by a bracket 49 connected to slide bearings 45 and 46 and is operated by a spring 440. Yes, it is pressed against the belt 37 with almost constant pressure. Belt 37 is wrapped around stack pulley 33 on shaft 34 and pulley 23 on shaft 6238.36. In addition, in order to send banknotes to the entrance of the banknote storage box 16, the pulley 26 of the shaft 38
The belt 37 on the top has a pulley 2 on the top 40.41.
The belt 39 that was placed on the belt 3 is being put on.

On the other hand, on the exit side of the banknote storage box, a stopper 19 is provided which is rotatable around the shaft 18. Behind that, the conveyance path for separated banknotes is a pulley 66 of the shaft 25, a pulley 30 of the shaft 31, and so on. Shan) 32
．． Belt B hung on pulley 28 and shaft 21
Boo Su43. It is composed of a bell) A which is hung on a pulley 23 of 24.27.

As shown in Figure 3, 16 banknote storage boxes are viewed from a plane.
A pick-up roller 55' for separating the H1 banknotes is provided at the center of the banknotes L''J, and stack rollers 33 for banknote accumulation are installed on both sides of the pickup roller 55'. , the stack row 233 is connected to the shaft 34
, and is configured to be freely rotatable around the shirt (shirt) P via a support bracket 59. A spring is provided in the support bracket 59 to press the shaft 34 of the support bracket 59 against a cam 57 which is rotatable about the shaft 32. On the other hand, Vic Up Low 25
5 is configured to be rotatable on the shaft 31 via a support bracket 54 that supports the pickup roller shaft 53, which is the center of rotation.
It is pressed through a pin 62 provided on the support bracket 54.

The driving force of the pickup row 255 is transmitted by the cam 65 provided on the shaft 61 coming into contact with the rubber lining 56 provided on the pickup roller shaft 53 as shown in the sixth factor. It has become. As shown in FIG. 3, the shaft 25 has a groove 52 in the center on both sides of the pulley 66 on which the bell B is hung.
A feed roller 22 having a rubber lining 61 is provided only on a part of its circumference.

On the other hand, a gate roller 20 is provided on the shaft 25 so that the width of the groove 52 of the feed roller 22 is slightly narrower, and the gate roller 20 has a diameter that overlaps the groove.

Next, we will discuss the operation of the above device.

FIG. 2 shows a state in which the banknote storage box 16 is functioning as a banknote accumulation chamber, and the banknotes fed from the main body conveyance path are transferred to the pulley 23 shown in the figure.

As the bill rotates, it is held between the belts 3 and 39 and conveyed into the bill storage box 16 from the direction (c) shown in the figure.

Then, the belt 67, which is placed around the stack pulley 36, is subjected to appropriate pressure by the spring 44 via the push plate 50, and is conveyed.

Since there is a stopper 19 at the forward end of the banknote, the banknote stops when it hits this. At this time, the banknotes were bent due to the force of the carpet, or was it a jam? The compression of the spring 44 is sufficient to convey the banknotes, but the pressing force is moderate enough to stop if there is resistance. Although not shown in FIG. 2, at this time the pickup roller 55 is positioned sufficiently retracted from the banknote surface.

In this way, the banknotes sent into the banknote storage box one after another are moved to the stopper 1 by the belt 3z, that is, the stack pulley 33.
They are transported to position 9, and the stacking state is repeated.

Next, we decided to use it as a banknote separator.

Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the shaft 52 is mechanically rotated in the (g) direction using, for example, a solenoid (not shown).

As a result, the cam 57 of the shaft 52 has a two-dot chain line convergence, the shaft 34 in contact with the cam 57 sinks into the bottom of the cam 57 due to the tensile force of the spring 58, and the stack pulley 33 is centered around the shaft 60. It is rotated by the support bracket 59 to be in the state indicated by the two-dot chain line, retracted from the banknote surface, and placed in a position where no conveying force is applied to the banknote.

At this time, the pickup roller 55 shown in FIG.
2 rotates in the (W) direction (same direction), the cam 64 on the shaft 52 also rotates in the (1 sword) direction, changing from the butterfly shape shown by the two-dot chain line to the solid line state.

Therefore, the pickup roller 55! -i:, shaft 6
At the center of 1, the bin 62 on the support bracket 54 is pushed up against the tensile force of the cam 64 and the spring 63, and is in a state where it has been retracted from the previous banknote (by rotating), that is, 2 points. The state changes from the shape of the chain line to the state of contacting the paper cover, that is, the state of the solid line. At the same time, by driving the shaft L1B in the direction shown in FIG. 2 using, for example, a solenoid, the stopper 19 becomes in the state shown by the two-dot chain line, and becomes in a state in which banknotes can be separated.

As shown in Fig. 6.7, the feed roller -222 for conveying the banknotes after separation is designed so that the feeding cycle of the banknotes -2 becomes long by rotating the feed roller 2202 in order to reduce the size of the device. It is set.

Then, the pickup i-ra 55 rotates around the shaft 61 as the feed roller 2202 rotates.

The outer periphery of the cam 65, which rotates in the direction of the arrow shown in the figure and is decelerated by a gear or the like so as to make one rotation, is driven by contacting the rubber lining P56 of the pickup roller shaft 53, and the drive start point of the pickup roller 55 is In this case, the cam 65 is connected to the rubber lining 5 of the pickup roller 53.
6 and the rotation IItts of the pickup roller 55 are determined by the outer circumferential length of the cam 65.

Here, when the feed roller 22 rotates in the direction shown in the figure and the leading end of the rubber lining 61 of the feed roller 22 reaches the overlap point with the gate roller 20, the drive of the pickup roller 55 is started. It has become.

Also, the circumferential speed of the pickup roller 55 and the feed roller 2
It is not a trick to keep the circumferential speeds of the two parts the same. A groove is provided on the outer periphery of the pickup row 255 to improve the material of the reed, and the outer periphery is generally made of rubber having a coefficient of friction of 2 to 3.

As the pickup roller 55 is driven, the banknotes in contact with the pickup roller 55 are fed in the direction of the feed roller 22, in the direction shown in the figure.

The banknotes are separated from the stacked state.

The pick-up roller 55 is driven so that the leading edge of the bill comes into contact with the rubber lining 61 of the feed roller 22, passes through the overlap point with the gate roller 2o, is held in the opening of the belt, and is transferred to the next conveyance path. The feed roller 22 and the gate roller 2o are in a position where they have sufficient clamping force to feed the bill, usually about 1/5 of the length of the bill.
The structure is such that the drive is stopped when the overlap point is passed.

By the way, two or more bills are transported by the pickup roller 55 toward the overlap point between the feed roller 22 and the gate roller 20 (as shown in FIG. gate roller 2
The gate rollers 20i are made of material with a high comparative conversion coefficient and do not rotate but are stopped when separating the banknotes. With the exception of the first bill that contacts the pick-up roller 55, the i-feeding is stopped by contact with the gate roller 2°, and it is possible to reliably separate the bills one by one. To stop the separation of banknotes, as shown in FIG.
By driving (rotating) the shaft 32 in the direction shown in the figure (E) by means of a lance, etc., the cam 64 is set to a two-point tension state of 9%, thereby reducing the spring applied to the support bracket 54. Due to the tensile force of 63, the pickup roller 55 is retracted from the banknote υ due to the tensile force of 63, and at the same time, the shirt 18 shown in FIG. By driving, the dispensing of banknotes in the banknote accommodating section 16) completely stops. At this time, as mentioned previously, the pickup roller 55 is moved in and out 9 and the stack roller 33 is moved in and out by the same drive, power source, and the same shaft 1711 and shaft 32, so the pickup roller 55 is υ In the retracted state, the stack roller 33
In the solid line state in the figure, where the stack roller 33 is in contact with banknotes, that is, the paper storage box is in a state where banknotes can be stacked.

In this case, by driving the shaft 62 and the 1st-1 Eva solenoid, the banknote storage box 16 can optionally function as either a banknote separation device or a paper stacking device. can be done.

The outer periphery of the feed roller 22 for separating banknotes is set to 1/2 of the period of 4k banknotes, and separation is performed.

)'jt device switching on the same shaft (shaft 3
2) By using the same driving source, a small and inexpensive banknote separation/accumulation device can be realized.

In addition, when the bill storage box 16 is switched from the deluxe bill separation state to the bill stacking state, the pickup roller 55 is retracted from the bill surface centering around the shaft F31 that provides the driving force of the pickup roller 55. 1 drive of 55 is a clutch, etc., p; 1
There is no threaded bearing, and even when banknotes are stacked, they are held in place by a driven groove, so parts such as clutches for intermittent axial force are not necessary. An integrated device can be realized.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As is clear from the above embodiments, according to the present invention, the storage box can be moved to the paper collecting section or the separating section depending on which of the stack roller and the pickup roller is pressed against the paper sheet surface. It can be used as either of these methods, and an inexpensive and compact paper processing device can be constructed.
