Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to firmly set leaf paper with both hands by enabling a push plate to return back by a proper distance in a device where many paper leaves piled transversely with their attitude in longitudinal direction in a hopper part are pressed while going ahead by means of the spring of the push plate and fed out to a sorting part. CONSTITUTION:A push plate 3 is movably provided along a sliding shaft 11 in a hopper part 10 of a sorting device in a bill housing device, etc., and the bill is forcedly sent along a bill guide 12 at the advancing motion of said push plate 3. The push plate 3 is returned back with the engagement of a hook (not shown) attached on a timing belt 5 turned by a gear motor 4. Here, when a push plate opening switch 1 is pushed down, the push plate 3 can be returned back by a proper distance (about 50mm.) to set about 200 bills with the both hands of an operator, by the actuation of a gear motor 4. Moreover, it is made possible to provide bill setting condition by allowing the push plate 3 to return back by the same distance when said switch 1 is pushed again.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a paper sheet separation device such as a banknote storage device or a banknote automatic teller machine, and more particularly to the structure of a hopper portion of the device.

First, an outline of a banknote sorting machine, which is an example of a paper sheet separation device to which the present invention is applied, will be explained based on FIG. 2. 10 is a hopper section. In the hopper section 10, the push plate 3 is moved horizontally←leftward in FIG. ), a large number of banknotes 14 are received vertically and stacked horizontally in the air space formed, the push plate 6 is released from the stop, the push plate 3 is advanced by a spring (not shown), etc., and the banknotes 14 are Attach (1) with appropriate force. When you press the intake start switch, the pickup roller 15 and feed roller 1
7 rotates and sends out banknotes 14. The gate roller 16 is fixed with a roller for preventing two bills 14 from being fed. The sent banknotes pass through a banknote discrimination section 19 by the conveyor belt, and the denomination is determined here. Then, the storage boxes 21 determined for each type are sorted by game) 20. Abnormal banknotes are stored in a select box.

The present invention relates to a hopper section of this type of sheet separation device.

In a banknote account Mr&deposit machine, the number of banknotes handled at one time is generally small, about 100 at most. Therefore, the near 1
In the method of forming an airspace by retracting and stopping the 1+ plate, a method is generally adopted in which the push plate is fully automatically retracted and stopped. When using this method, the customer can set the banknotes without having to grasp them with both hands, and after setting the banknotes, the vibrator is activated.
Since the pushing plate can start pressing the banknotes after aligning the ends of the banknotes by the mechanism, there are advantages such as fewer banknote setting failures.

However, in the case of a hopper of a separation device where approximately 1,000 banknotes need to be set, each banknote is approximately 10UO
Automatically opening the push plate until the banknotes can be set will create an airspace of approximately 150"'1 or more. Also, it is necessary to set all of the approximately 1,000 banknotes. In this case, instead of setting 100 tons of banknotes all at once, you will have to set the banknotes in 200 pieces to make it easier to operate.In this way, if you first set 200 sheets of warped banknotes, the banknotes will be placed in the airspace. There is a problem that the banknotes may fall over in the airspace due to the small number of banknotes.During this operation, it is necessary to hold down the banknotes in the airspace with one hand to prevent them from falling over until a certain amount of banknotes have accumulated.

Also, if the push plate is kept in a state where it is constantly pushed back by the T spring, etc., there is no problem with the set banknotes falling over, but when additional banknotes are set, the push plate is constantly pushed back, so The purpose of the present invention is to prevent accidents such as the operator's fingers or the like accidentally pushing the last banknote of the first banknote into the bottom of the hopper. To provide a paper sheet separation device having a hopper part that can be set smoothly.

The paper sheet separating device according to the present invention receives a large number of paper sheets stacked vertically and horizontally into an air space formed by retracting and stopping the pushing plate in the entire horizontal direction, releases the stopping of the pushing plate, and then stops the pushing plate. In a paper sheet separation device having a hopper section, which is moved forward by a spring force that biases the plate, presses the previous paper sheet with an appropriate force with the pushing plate, and sends the paper sheet one by one to the separation section. From the retreat stop position of the push plate to create an air space for receiving the maximum number of sheets, the air acid formation position is narrower! 1r: This is a device characterized by being able to stop Ii.

In short, the device of the present invention can be used as a separation device for small-sized paper products such as conventional automatic banknote deposit machines, and can automatically retract and stop at an appropriate distance for small-sized paper sheets with a press plate like the conventional device.
7. The operator's power is to manually set one paper leaf with both hands, and the paper chestnut is separated; in order to avoid the a+ mark problem, it is necessary to set more than one paper leaf in 412. When printing, first set some sheets of paper that are easy to handle with both hands (for example, about 200 sheets), then move the push plate electrically or manually to the required distance (for example, about 200 sheets of paper). Set a large number of paper sheets to a decimal number of paper sheets by retracting the paper (V distance) and sorting an appropriate amount of paper sheets, and repeating the process of pushing back 4 times and setting and sorting some of the paper sheets as many times as required. This device is characterized in that it allows for smooth listening as in the case of a sesotho.

The following is a drawing of an embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention. Figure 1 shows only the buckwheat portion 10 of the first separation device in a perspective view. , it-soz<@l5

The retraction is performed by pushing a push plate 6 by a hook 6 attached to a timing belt 5 rotated by a gear motor 4. The push plate 6 is biased in the advancing direction (rightward) by a push spring 9. However, since the static torque of the gear motor 4 is large, when the gear motor 4 is stopped, the push plate 6 is prevented from advancing to the current position of 7 and 6 and stopped. The maximum retreat position of the push plate 5 is 7
It is regulated by the rear end detection sensor 7 detecting the pick 6. The reverse rotation of the gear motor 4 causes the hook 6'5r to move forward, and when the front end detection sensor 8 detects the hook 6, the banknote separation operation begins. This pressing plate 3 is advanced by a spring 9 and presses the bill.

To operate this device, first press the push plate open switch 1. As a result, the gear motor 4 operates and the push plate 3 reaches approximately SO.
W Reverse and stop. Although the retraction distance of the push plate 3 is not necessarily limited to about 501 I11, a distance of about 50 feet is an appropriate distance order for separating about 200 banknotes. Also, about 2
00 sheets is an appropriate number for a + author to set at one time with both hands, and the most common number of sheets brought in at one time is 200 to 300 sheets, so the retraction distance of the push plate at one time is about 50 fins. Appropriate.

If you have set approximately 200 bills in the sanctuary and there are still bills left to set, press the push plate switch 1 again.
The push plate 6 is further moved back about 50 IllI to set the bill. Repeat this operation the required number of times! Return and set all banknotes.

When all banknotes have been set, press the retrieval start switch 2. This causes the gear motor 4 to rotate in reverse, and the hook 6 to move forward. The push plate 3 moves forward υ by the force of the spring 9 and presses the banknote with an appropriate pressure, and the hook 6 is detected by the sensor 8 and the banknote separation operation begins.

In the illustrated embodiment, the push plate is moved back approximately 50m5+ by pressing the switch between the push plates once, but the push plate may be moved by nD for which the switch is pressed, or the push plate may be further closed. A switch may be provided so that if it is accidentally opened too much, the push plate can be closed. In addition, the switch is not only a button type, but also a microswitch with a lever, for example, can be temporarily attached to the pusher, and if the contact pressure between the pusher plate and the banknote is too high, the lever of the microswitch can be used. It is also possible to perform the push plate opening operation when the push plate is pushed.

In addition, when setting a small number of banknotes (approximately 100 sheets) using the device of this embodiment, since such a large number of banknotes can be easily grasped with one hand, it is necessary to operate the switch between the pusher plates and place the pusher plate 50.
It is also possible to set banknotes by directly pulling back the push plate with the other hand without retracting fi. However, in this case, since the pressing spring force is constantly acting, it is not possible to correct the set banknote later using the vibrator. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the alignment of banknotes.

As described above, when using the device of this study, problems that occur when setting a relatively large number of bills (approximately 1,000 bills) with conventional devices, such as paper sheets falling over or having to set them with one hand, can be avoided. This problem can be solved and set up smoothly. Furthermore, by stopping the push plate at a midway position with a slight gap between the inserted sheet and the sheet, the condition of the sheet can be re-corrected using a vibrator or the like. Spring ratio value of conventional devices: In systems that always act on the paper sheets in the hopper and systems that stop only at the end of the press plate hold, the paper! ■
Applying vibrations using a vibrator to correct the condition is ineffective in the former case, and inappropriate in the latter case as it would cause the paper sheets to become irregular, so it can be said to be impossible.
