[Background of the invention]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a device for sequentially depositing paper sheets being carried out in a storage section, there is a device using an impeller having a plurality of blades, as shown in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 57-27857. This type of stacking device inserts and holds paper sheets sequentially conveyed between the blades of a single impeller, and as the impeller rotates, the paper sheets are sequentially stacked in a storage section.

Conventionally, in this type of stacking device, a measure has been adopted in which the upper surface of the paper sheet entering the impeller is guided to prevent the paper sheet from flying out from the impeller. Such a measure is effective when handling paper sheets that are stiff. However, when handling soft sheets of paper, the leading edge of the sheet of paper may break or buckle when it enters the blades of the impeller. For this reason, the paper sheet cannot reach the vicinity of the final push between the blades, and the trailing end protrudes beyond the tip of the blade more than necessary. As a result, a subsequent sheet may collide with the trailing end of this sheet, causing the sheet to become jammed within the impeller.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention has been made based on the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a stacking device for paper sheets that can reliably insert incoming paper sheets into the impeller.

[Summary of the invention]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention inserts and holds paper sheets that are sequentially carried out from the discharge end between the blades of an impeller, and by rotation of the impeller, the paper sheets are sequentially transferred to the storage section. In things that accumulate.

A guide body is provided on the side of the impeller to change the direction in which the paper sheet enters the impeller blades so as to follow the blade surface, so that banknotes can be smoothly inserted between the blades.

The portion of the guide body 33 next to the impeller is formed into an arc having a large radius so that the angle of entry l with respect to the blade surface of the banknote is small.

Next, the operation of an example of the apparatus of the present invention described above will be explained.

The banknotes B that are sequentially carried out are conveyed by rollers 24A and 2 for conveyance.
4B and a guiding roller 25A.

When the bill B enters the portions 25B, 26A, and 26B, the central portion of the bill B receives a conveying force toward the impeller 21 by the conveying rollers 24A, 24B. Also.

Both ends of the banknote B are guided by rollers 25A and 25B.

The banknote B enters the gap G between the banknotes 26A and 26B, and deformations such as folds and sagging of the banknote B are corrected by these guiding rollers 25A, 25B, 26A, and 26B. In addition, in the case of banknotes with multiple folds or soft banknotes, the guide body 33 prevents the ends of the banknotes from folding, buckling, etc., before the banknotes come into contact with the blade surface of the impeller. It enters between the blades 23 of the impeller 21 while being gently guided to turn without any occurrence. Therefore, circulating banknotes and soft banknotes that have been used for a long time can be reliably pushed between the blades 23 of the impeller 21, thereby preventing collisions between the worn-out circulating banknotes and soft banknotes and subsequent banknotes. I can do it. Furthermore, when a circulating banknote having two folds or eight folds forming a chevron on the side of the first impeller is conveyed, the above-mentioned folds of this banknote are moved to the impeller 2 by the guide bodies 29, 30, 31. is corrected outwards. Therefore, even this type of banknote can be pushed to the vicinity of the final push between the blades 23 of the impeller 21.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the tip side of the guide body 33 is connected to the blade 23.
Although the guide body 33 is provided close to the rollers 24A and 24B, the guide body 33 may be placed close to the rollers 24A and 24B as shown in FIG.

With this configuration, it is possible to correct the crookedness of the tip of the banknote being pushed from the roller toward the impeller 21 before the crookedness of the tip appears. That is, the guide body 33
are arranged close to the rollers 24A, 24B, so that the leading edge of the banknote B sent out from the rollers 24A, 24B is guided by the guide body 33 before it becomes affected by the folding. Therefore, with this configuration as well, banknotes can be reliably pushed into the impeller.

However, the present invention can also be applied to a structure in which the conveyance roller and the guide roller face inside the impeller. It goes without saying that belts may be passed around these rollers.

Furthermore, the present invention can also use banknotes other than banknotes.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, even used paper sheets and soft paper sheets can be reliably pushed into the impeller. As a result, jams of paper sheets inside the five-impeller can be reduced, and its reliability can be improved.
