Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a banknote holding device used in a vending machine, a money exchange machine, or the like.

(B) Prior Art Generally, it is desired that bill holding devices used in automatic vending machines, currency exchange machines, etc. be as small and thin as possible. However, this type of banknote holding device was
-27632 As shown in the publication, the gap between the lower surface of the suppression piston and the holding member that guides and holds the banknotes transferred by the conveyance means is widened (formed) so that the banknotes from the conveyance means can be easily transferred onto the holding member. Since the device is configured so that it can be introduced into the system, it has the disadvantage that the device is large in size.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, this type of device also includes banknotes (T+
When the number of sheets increases, the center part becomes a guide rail (40)
Since it bends and protrudes in the direction of the opening (42) formed in i#1, there is a drawback that it obstructs the introduction of the banknote (T,) transferred onto the guide rail 00). This drawback is that the thickness dimension of the guide rail (4 (η) is
This problem could be solved by making the deflection dimension larger than that of 1, but in this case, the device would be thick and large.

(→ OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a thin banknote holding device that allows the introduction of banknotes onto the H5 guide rail to be placed in the center without being obstructed by the above-mentioned θ).

(Structure of the Invention) The present invention includes a pair of conveyor belts that contact and convey the banknotes that have been determined to be appropriate until they reach a predetermined position, and a belt that is provided corresponding to the can conveyor belt. A pair of guide rails, a holding warehouse located corresponding to the guide rails and provided on the opposite side of the conveyor belt with the guide rails sandwiched between the guide rails; a stacking plate that pushes banknotes into the holding box through an opening formed between guide rails; and a holding plate that is biased so as to sandwich and hold the banknotes pushed in by the stacking machine between the guide rails; , a suppressing member provided between the pair of conveyor belts and bending an intermediate portion of the banknote to be transferred in a direction opposite to the opening, and a portion between the conveyor belt and the guide rail at a position corresponding to the suppressing member. and a regulating member provided so that a gap is formed.

(E) Embodiment FIGS. 1 and 2 show a side sectional view and a front sectional view, respectively, of a bill holding device according to the present invention.

The stack cam is fixed to a drive shaft (23) and a driven shaft (24) connected to a deceleration motor (22), respectively.

The drive shaft (23) and the driven shaft (24) are connected to a pulley (25) (2

10a) and (10b) to form a gap (A).

That is, when the introduced banknote (T1) is bent by the suppressing member, both ends of the banknote (T,) where the bending occurs are interposed in the gap (A), and the conveyor belt ( 91 (9) and guide rail # (10a) (10b)
The configuration is such that the clamping caused by the clamping member is released and the bending caused by the compression member is easily formed. (: [(30) is the conveyor belt (9) (91 is the guide rail (10a) (10b)
This is a guide roller that urges the roller to come into contact with the roller.

The operation of the above configuration will be explained. Banknotes judged to be appropriate (
When the tip of the banknote (T,) reaches the sensor 01) consisting of a set of LEDs and a phototransistor, the deceleration motor (5) is driven, and the banknote (T,) is moved between the conveyor belt +9) (9) and the guide rail (10a). ) (10b). The banknote (T1) is conveyed while being held between the conveyor belt (91) and the regulating member (2!1), and the intermediate portion between both ends is formed into an opening aυ by the suppressing member (C). It is transferred while being bent in the opposite direction. At this time, the suppression member (
28), the ends of the banknote (T1) corresponding to the bending portions are in a free state, interposed within the gap (Al), and the bending is easily formed.Then, the rear end of the banknote (T1) Sensor 02 consisting of a set of LEDs and a phototransistor
When the banknote (T1) passes, the deceleration motor (5) is stopped and the banknote (T1
) is transferred and stopped at a predetermined position. On the other hand, the deceleration motor (5
) is stopped, the deceleration motor (221) is driven, and the operation of pushing the banknotes (T, ) into the holding warehouse 02 is started.In the standby state shown in FIG.
) has left. When the stack plate aη is pressed in the direction of the opening Ql by the rotation of the stack cams (21a) (2ib) driven by the deceleration motor (22), the fifth
As shown in Figures and Figure 6, the stack plate αη has an opening αυ
The banknote (T1) is pushed into the holding box a2 through the stack cam (21a) against the spring (13+).
(21b) When it is confirmed that the motor rotates once and returns to the standby position using the cam fixed to the driven shaft (24) and the position detection switch l34), the deceleration motor (2z) is stopped.

(f) Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention is configured such that the middle part of the banknote to be transferred is bent in the opposite direction to the opening by the suppressing member, and when the bending is formed, the banknote corresponding to that part is bent. Since the structure is such that both ends can be left free to easily form a bend, even if the banknotes stored in the holding warehouse are bent, the transferred banknotes will not be affected by the bending. The banknotes can be transferred reliably without being locked in place.Furthermore, the thickness of the guide rail can be made small, making it possible to provide a thin and small banknote holding device.
