Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a paper sheet aligning and stacking device that aligns and stacks paper sheets such as banknotes sent from a conveyance path.

Traditionally, devices that align and stack paper sheets such as banknotes,
The leading edge of the fed filter paper leaf in the longitudinal direction is regulated by a leading edge regulating member, and the side edge in the width direction is regulated by a pair of side plates fixedly installed to match the width of the paper leaf. ing.

However, if the paper sheets being conveyed through the conveyance path are shifted in the width direction, the sheets will come into contact with the side plate during stacking, but may be bent due to the contact. Even if the direction of the force is corrected, it is often not possible to obtain sufficient Jni+ and the sheets are piled up in a lenient state. There were problems such as clogging in the crevices. Moreover, even if the sheet is conveyed without being displaced in the conveying width direction, the leading edge of the sheet may come into contact with the regulating member during feeding, and the reaction may cause the sheet to be displaced in the opposite direction to the feeding direction or in the width direction. In addition, there is also the drawback that if the paper sheets are stacked in one trench, the stacked paper sheets cannot be sufficiently aligned. In particular, when the paper sheets to be stacked are banknotes, the banknotes handed to the customer are often bundled. It has to be arranged in an orderly manner, but I am still not satisfied with it.

The present invention has been developed to solve this problem, and in addition to the conventional leading edge regulating member, a side edge regulating member, a paper leaf aligning rotor, a windmill, and a trailing edge aligning member are provided so that the paper sheets that are fed can be controlled.

It is installed between the rollers located at the driven station 17 of the paper sheet conveying member in the wind turbine section. , 4!1 pairs of ratchet wheels tl/, 4Zλ are provided between the rollers g and g except for the center, and the windmill Hiroshi/ and the windmill Q are adjacent to each other in close proximity.

A pair of wind turbines ta/, t flexible ends made of a material such as urethane rubber are embedded in the vertical and horizontal directions on each circumferential surface of the wind turbine, and the other ends protrude outward in the radial direction. It looks like this.

And flexible type eJa with front wind turbine invasion, 113b,
'13c.

4(,?d and flexible type 4(9a, 4(ll-b) of windmill Q
, c, and +4'd are such that they have a phase difference of 0 degrees.

The side edge regulating member llt is a flat plate provided in a direction perpendicular to the tip edge regulating member 3θ (downward in the plan view), and is connected to the tip edge regulating member 3θ by a hinge or the like. When the leaves are accumulated, they are held by a fixing means (not shown) so that they do not move. Therefore, when a sheet of paper is fed, one side edge of the sheet is stopped from moving in the width direction at this point.

The paper sheet aligning rotor SO is located on the left side in the plan view, and is a transmission pulley that transmits the drive to the support plate 1 rotation axis.
;3. It consists of 5 bearings that support the rotating shaft octopus.

The support plate S/ is L-shaped in elevation and has a vertical portion 3-/
a, guide bins ss, s are inserted into a pair of elongated holes 3/, , and j2 formed above and below the tip edge regulating plate 30, respectively.
It is designed to be fixed by s. For this reason, the support plate S/ is movable in the horizontal direction with respect to the leading edge regulating plate 30 in accordance with the size of the paper sheet, and after adjustment, the position can be fixed.

A vertical bearing 54' is fixed on the horizontal part j/b of the support plate S/, and the rotating shaft 5.2 passes through this bearing 5trt vertically.

A transmission pulley, Ya 3, can be added at the bottom.

At the top of the rotating shaft 5.2, there is a pair of curved blades symmetrical to the axis! ;b,! b is provided on the outer periphery, so that when the blades sb and sb are rotated by the rotation of the rotation axis S, one tip of the blade s6 can push the paper toward the side edge regulating member data. It has become.

Here, the drive of the transmission pulley 3 is transmitted by a belt from an electric motor located at a fixed position as shown in the figure, and the tension of the belt is maintained even when the left support plate l is moved. ing.

In addition, when adjusting the movement of the support plate S/, the substrate/da has a rotating shaft 5.
．． An opening s7 is provided to avoid interference such as 2.

Next, the effect when using banknotes will be explained.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the rotation of the drive shaft 7 rotates the roller j, and the rotation of the driven shaft 7 rotates the rollers.
As a result, the banknote 60 between the belt t and the belt holder is conveyed by the belt 6 in the direction of the arrow, and the leading edge bOa of the banknote 60 is flexible 41Ja.

Enter between ++a). When more banknotes 60 are sent,
Since the flexible mold 41a is made of a soft material as described above, the flexible mold 41a is bent by the tip edge boa and becomes the state shown in Fig. 4.

As the banknote 60 advances, the flexible type 4', ? b is also bent, and when the flexible claw member a is bent, a force acts to restore it, causing the tip edge 6θa to align with the upper guide plate /l, resulting in the state shown in FIG.

When the leading edge baa of the banknote 6θ passes the upper guide plate/l, the restoring force of the flexible claw member a directs the leading edge baa toward the leading edge A/a and the 4th edge t3. It comes off and returns to the straight state, resulting in the state shown in Figure 2.

Next, the flexible pawl 3b is also removed from the banknote 60, but the banknote 60 is maintained in the posture shown in FIG. sent. At this time, since the blades 56.3b of the sheet aligning rotary body SO are parallel to the side edges of the banknotes 60, the side edges of the banknotes do not hit the blades sb, sb and can enter into the back. .

Thereafter, as the blade S6 rotates, it hits the side edge of the banknote 60, holds the side edge in contact with it, prevents the leading edge bOe from lowering itself, and moves the banknote 60 in the direction of the leading edge regulating member 30, At this time, the banknote words are brought to the top of the page and aligned as shown in Figure 1.

On the other hand, the trailing edge of the banknote is a flexible type 111Ic with an upper guide plate/
While being forced into the belt, it begins to slide and come off the belt. This state is shown in Figure 1.

The blade sb that was in contact with the side edge of the banknote 60 moves one banknote 60 toward the top of the page and then retreats toward the back side of the page by one rotation, and the tip of the banknote 6o is formed by the temporary placement rod 2/ and the placement plate 22. Place it on the mounting table.

On the other hand, the rear end of the banknote 6θ is a flexible type 41. ．． ? d is in pressure contact with the rear edge of the banknote 6o, the front end of the banknote 6o is moved toward the mounting table by the inertial S movement in the feeding direction of the banknote 6θ and the movement of the flexible claw 3d. This state is shown in Figure 1.

1 when the tip of the banknote 6θ hits the tip edge regulating member 30.
The rear end of the banknote 60 comes off the upper guide plate // and becomes a flexible type +...? d has also been restored to a straight line, and the rear edge of the banknote 60 is floating due to buoyancy, but the hook d after the flexible 4'JdO hits the rear edge of the banknote 60, and its rotation causes it to float downward. , and quickly bring the trailing edge of the banknote 6θ into a horizontal position.

At that time, if the reaction from hitting the tip edge regulating member 30 causes the first O
Even if you try to move to the right in the figure, the rear edge
By moving 'I) to the left, the trailing edges of the stacked paper sheets are aligned. This state is shown in FIG. 1O.

The rotational angular velocities of the drive shaft 2, driven shaft 7, and rotating shaft 7 are approximately the same as when seven banknotes are fed onto the mounting table. When the banknotes are counted and stacked, the temporary placement rod 2/ rotates clockwise around the driving details and waits at the solid line position.

When 146 more banknotes are stacked and 700 banknotes are stacked, the temporary holding rod 2 moves from the solid line position to the one-point button position (horizontal position) and is ready to feed the 10th banknote. When the 100 banknotes are fed into the loading plate, it moves down from the one-point button line position to the two-point button line position. On the way of this descent, a stacked paper sheet feeding plate 23 is waiting, and the stacked paper sheets are transferred from U and the placing plate 2.2 onto the stacked paper sheet feeding plate 23.

The stacked paper sheet feeder λ3 moves to the left after the stacked paper has moved slightly, and after feeding the stacked paper sheets to a banknote bundling section (not shown), returns to the position shown in the figure. .

When the accumulated paper sheet feeder 9 and 23 return, #6! Place board, 2.
2 rises, returns to the solid line position, forms a mounting table together with the temporary mounting rod -/, and continues stacking one sheet.

When the 90th sheet is counted, the ancient layer, temporary mounting rod,
2/ rotates clockwise and waits at the solid line position.

The same operation is repeated below.

If the denomination of a banknote is identified by a denomination identification section (not shown) while the banknote is passing through the sheet conveying member/, and the banknote is of a denomination other than the denomination selected and set in Folder 1, the banknote will be separated midway and sent to another location. Only the banknotes of the selected denomination are counted by a counter (not shown), and the banknotes arrive between the rollers and the rollers.

Also, depending on the denomination selection setting, if the bill is a different size than the normal one, it will be a feather! ib and sb are moved in the front and back directions of the paper surface, and the trailing edge regulating portion a is moved in the left-right direction, so that the distance between the edge regulating member 95 and the sheet aligning rotary body SO is adjusted to the width of the banknote. The distance between the leading edge regulating member 30 and the trailing edge regulating portion/core a is changed according to the size of the banknote.

In addition, in the above explanation, the paper sheet aligning rotor has seven vertical driven units! II! A pair of feathers #! This was carried out using a device that could be symmetrically taken about the center, but as shown in Fig. 12, a pair of blade shafts 59 were installed around the upper and lower disks sg that rotated at the center.
This feather! The blades S9a may be fixed to each of the l1IS9.

In either case, the wing angle is lower than when the position is not symmetrical.
It has the advantage of long vibrations during rotational movement.

As described in detail above, the present invention guides the paper sheets fed from the paper sheet conveying member using a guide system provided on the upper part of the mounting member so as to accumulate them on the surface of the ridge arrangement member. In the paper sheet stacking device, a leading edge regulating member is provided in close proximity to the paper sheet conveying member, and is provided with a leading edge regulating member that comes into contact with the leading edge of the paper body in the entire feeding direction and completely restricts the leading edge of the stacked paper sheets. During rotation, several flexible molds protrude radially from the periphery that intersect with the paper transport direction, and the paper is fed from the paper transport member and folded by these flexible molds. The leading edge of the leaf is held and the leaf is cleaned and sent to the transporting member, and the trailing edge of the leaf, which is in a floating state when the leaf leaves the conveying member, is rapidly pressed down to the surface of the accumulated paper sheets. A mold wheel member that is made to run along the side, a side edge regulating member that regulates the side edge on one side in the width direction of the accumulated paper sheets, and a side edge regulating member that is attached to the shaft of the rotating shaft near the other side. A sheet aligning rotor is provided so that the rotation of a pair of blades engages and disengages the other side edge of the sheet to be fed and deposits, and moves all the sheets toward the side edge control member. Since the edge alignment part is provided to align the trailing edges of the stacked paper sheets, unlike conventional stacking sheets, the paper sheets contact the side plate and bend, and are stacked in that state. Therefore, even if there are many corrections in the width direction, the sheets will be aligned ten times.Also, the leading edge of the sheet will come into contact with the leading edge regulating member, and the reaction will cause it to shift in the counter-feeding direction or in the width direction, leaving it in the same state. According to the present invention, all of the disadvantages such as not being able to collect enough stacked paper sheets are eliminated, and the paper sheets to be fed and folded are neatly and neatly aligned with their leading edges and side edges. This has an excellent effect in that it can be aligned.
