Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a paper sheet stacking device for stacking and storing paper products such as banknotes, and in particular, a paper sheet stacking device that is equipped with an impeller for stacking and storing paper sheets. The present invention relates to a paper sheet stacking device of a different type.

[Background of the invention]

Conventionally, as a device for sequentially stacking conveyed paper sheets in a storage section, there is a device using an impeller equipped with a plurality of blades, as shown in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 57-27857.

This type of stacking device inserts and holds paper sheets that are carried out one after another between the blades of an impeller, and as the impeller rotates, the paper sheets are stacked one after another in the storage section. If the paper sheets to be pushed into the machine are new or nearly new, they can be pushed in reliably. but,
If the paper sheets to be handled are soft and have folds, such as banknotes, it is not possible to push these paper sheets close to the final push between the blades of the impeller. The rear end protrudes beyond the tip of the blade. As a result, the trailing edge of this sheet collides with the trailing sheet, resulting in jamming of the sheet within the impeller.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention has been made based on the above-mentioned matters, and an object of the present invention is to provide a paper sheet stacking device that can reliably push paper sheets with folds such as soft paper sheets and banknotes into an impeller. With the goal.

[Summary of the invention]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention inserts and holds paper sheets sequentially conveyed between the blades of an impeller from the discharge end, and rotates the impeller to sequentially transport the paper sheets into the storage section. In the stacking device, a guide means is provided at the side of the discharge end and the impeller for guiding the impeller rolling surfaces of the central part and both ends of the paper sheet to correct folded paper sheets; A guide body is provided to change the direction of entry into the blades of the impeller so as to follow the blade surface, and the guide body has a soft paper sheet and folds,
This makes it possible to reliably push even worn-out paper into the impeller.

[Embodiments of the invention]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a cash handling section of a cash transaction device equipped with the device of the present invention, and in this figure, the cash handling section is equipped with a cash input/output port 2 on the front side of a main body 1 thereof. Inside the main body 1, a separation device 3 for taking in deposited banknotes B is provided on one side of the deposit/withdrawal port 2, and an extrusion fork 4 for pushing the paid bills B into the deposit/withdrawal port 2 is provided on the other side. A discrimination section 5 is provided in the center of the screen. This checking section 5 determines the authenticity of banknotes B to be taken in or taken out.

can be paid out.

Next, a detailed configuration of an example of the above-mentioned integrated device of the present invention will be explained using FIGS. 2 to 4.

Two impellers 21 are rotatably arranged in parallel in the banknote B storage section 2o, such as the stacker section, denomination box, and safe section. The impeller 21 is rotationally driven by a shaft 22 connected to a drive means (not shown), and is provided with a plurality of blades 23 in its circumferential direction. Near the outer periphery of the zero-impeller 21, into which the banknote B is inserted and held between the blades 23, there are conveyance rollers 24A and 24B that grip and convey the center and both ends of the banknote B, as shown in FIG.

25A, 25B, 26A, and 26B are provided. Conveying rollers 24A, 25A, and 26A are fixed to a shaft 27. This shaft 27 is supported by the main body parallel to the axis of the impeller 21, and is rotationally driven by a driving means (not shown). The conveyance rollers 24B, 25B, and 26B are fixed to a shaft 28 supported on the main body 1. The aforementioned roller 24
A.

25A, 26A have a diameter larger than that of rollers 24B, 25B, 26B. Conveyance rollers 24A, 2
Below 4B, there is a central guide body 29 that guides the back side of the central part of the banknote, and conveyance rollers 25A, 25B, and 26.
An end guide 30.31 is provided below A and 26B to guide the back surface of the longitudinal end of the banknote. This guide body 29° 30.11 is the blade when the banknote intake phase is zero, that is, when the tip of the blade 23A of the impeller 21 and the tip of the banknote B coincide with each other as indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. It is provided on the side of the blade 23B following the blade 23A along the shape of the blade 23B. The guide body 29 is
For example, a double fold formed in the center of the banknote B facing the impeller side is corrected toward the outside of the impeller 21. Further, the guide bodies 30 and 31 correct, for example, eight folds formed at the ends of the banknotes B toward the outside of the impeller 23. Storage part 2
0 is provided with a stopper 32 for separating the bill B inserted between the blades 23 of the impeller 21 from the blades 23.

Also, the sides of the impeller 21 and conveyance rollers 24A, 24
B, 25A, 25B, 26A.

There is a protrusion on the blade surface of banknote B between the side and 26B □

is provided. The impeller blade portion of the guide body 33 is formed into a circular arc having a large radius so that the angle of entry i 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.

Banknotes B that are sequentially transported are transported by transport rollers 24A, 2.
4B, 25A, 25B, 26A.

When entering the section 26B, the banknote B is transferred to the roller 24 for conveyance.
A, 24B, 25A, 25B, 26A.

26B receives a conveying force toward the impeller 21.

If the banknotes conveyed by these rollers are soft banknotes and have a plurality of folds, the leading end of the banknotes is folded by the guide member 33 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 turned and guided without bending or buckling. 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. can.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5, when a circulating banknote having two folds B1 and eight folds B2 forming a chevron shape on the side of the first impeller is conveyed, the above-mentioned folds of this banknote are 29, 30, and 31 toward the outside of the impeller 21. For this reason, the impeller 2 also applies to this type of banknote.
It is possible to press the blade to the vicinity of the final push between the blades 23 of 1.

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 as shown in FIG.
With this configuration, it is possible to correct the crookedness of the leading edge of the banknote being conveyed from the rollers to the impeller 21 before the influence of the creasing appears. That is, the guide body 33 is arranged at a position close to the rollers 24A and 24B.

The leading end of the paper belt B sent out from the rollers 24A, 24B is guided by the guide body 33 before the effect of the fold appears. Therefore, with this configuration as well, banknotes can be reliably pushed into the impeller.

Furthermore, the present invention can also be applied to a device in which the conveying roller and the guiding roller are arranged inwardly of the impeller. Furthermore, it goes without saying that a belt may be passed around these rollers. Further, in the above example, the paper sheet is pinched at three places and sent to the impeller 21, but the present invention is not limited to this.

Furthermore, the present invention can also be applied to paper sheets other than banknotes.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, (1) according to the present invention, even used paper sheets and soft paper sheets can be reliably pushed into the impeller (6) As a result, jamming of paper sheets inside the impeller is reduced; Its reliability can be improved.
