Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a paper sheet stacking device, and particularly to a paper sheet stacking device suitable for improving the alignment of paper sheets.

[Background of the invention]

In conventional paper sheet stacking devices, after the paper sheets are stacked, the arrangement guide is pressed against the end surfaces of the stacked paper sheets to align the edges of the stacked paper sheets (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 56-78748) In this method, if the paper sheets to be handled have low rigidity or are folded and the stiffness of the folded part is small, the paper sheets will not sit in the seat even if the collection guide is pressed. There is a risk of causing out-of-plane deformation such as bending. As a result, it was not possible to align the end faces of the stacked paper sheets.

[Purpose of the invention]

゛An object of the present invention is to provide a paper sheet stacking device that can stack paper sheets in line in its storage section.

[Summary of the invention]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a receiving means that rotates while guiding the conveyed paper sheets as they enter the receiving means, and a receiving means that allows the receiving means to release the paper sheets received by the receiving means into a storage section. In the paper sheet stacking device, the storage section is provided with an alignment means having an alignment body that taps both ends of the paper sheets received by the receiving means, whereby the paper sheets are released from the storage section. The paper sheets are arranged in a row before being stacked.

[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 discrimination section 5 discriminates whether the bill B to be taken in or dispensed is genuine or false.

A pick box 6 is provided at the rear central portion of the main body 1 to collect banknotes B that cannot be identified.

Above this, that is, at the rear upper part of the main body 1, a front-back reversing unit 7 for reversing the face-down banknotes B to face up is arranged.

The above-mentioned extrusion fork 4 is provided with an accumulating device 8 of the present invention. From the center to the bottom inside the main body 1, from the back to the front of the main body 1, there is a first denomination box 9 for recycling banknotes, and a second denomination box 10 for recycling banknotes, at the start of work and at the end of work. A safe 11 that supplies and collects banknotes B and collects banknotes B that are not suitable for withdrawal, a temporary stack section 12 that temporarily stores the received banknotes B, and a forgotten banknote collection box 13 located below the safe are arranged. ing. A stacking device 14 and a separating mechanism 15 according to the present invention are arranged above each of the first denomination box 9, second denomination box 10, safe 11, and temporary stacker section 12 described above. The above-mentioned parts are connected by a conveyance means, and a gate part is provided at a branch part in the conveyance means.

Furthermore, a slip/card mechanism and a passbook printing mechanism are installed above the cash handling section.

The above-mentioned cash handling section temporarily stores the banknotes B inserted into the deposit/withdrawal port 2 by the customer in the temporary stacker section 12, and then sorts them into the first banknotes by denomination. It is stored in the second denomination boxes 9 and 10 and the safe 11. In addition, due to customer requests, 1. The banknotes B stored in the second denomination box 9, 100 can be paid out to the deposit/withdrawal port 2 through the front/back reversing part 7 with their surfaces aligned.

Next, the configuration of an example of the apparatus of the present invention described above will be explained using FIGS. 2 and 3. In these figures, an impeller 21 serving as a receiving means for banknotes B is rotatably provided in the main body 1 near a storage section 20 for denomination boxes 9, 10, money washer 11, and the like. This impeller 21 is provided with a plurality of blades 22 on its circumference. The rotational driving force of the impeller 21 is obtained by a driving means (not shown). This impeller 2
Conveyance rollers 23 and 24 for conveying banknotes B between the blades 22 of the impeller 21 are provided near the outer periphery of each blade 22 . These conveyance rollers 23 and 24 are rotatably provided in the main body 1. The conveyance roller 23 is connected to a drive means.

Banknotes B received between the blades of the impeller 21 are stored in the storage section 20.
In the storage section 2o on the side of the six-impeller 21, which is provided with a stopper 25 for separating the banknotes from the blades 22, there is an alignment body 26 that hits both longitudinal corners of the banknotes B received by the blades 22. is set up. This array 2
6 is held by the guide portion 27 of the main body 1 so as to move in parallel.

This alignment body 26 is driven by a driver 28 such as a solenoid.

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

The banknotes B that have been carried out are pushed between the blades 22 of the impeller 21 by the transport rollers 23 and 24.

Due to the installation error of the conveyance rollers 23 and 24 and the influence of the conveyance system upstream of the conveyance rollers 23 and 24, the banknote B
The banknote B may be received between the blades 22 with a deviation in either direction in the longitudinal direction of the banknote B, or may be received between the blades 22 with an oblique movement. Before the banknotes B received in an irregular manner between the blades 22 are removed from the impeller 21, both ends of the banknotes are struck by the alignment body 26, which moves inwardly and outwardly in synchronization. Therefore, the irregular posture will be corrected. As a result, one banknote B can be stacked in the storage section 20 in the correct position. Therefore, when the stacked banknotes B are separated and conveyed, the separation performance can be improved.

FIG. 4 shows the configuration of another example of the device of the present invention, and in this example, the alignment body 26 is configured to be able to swing. That is, the a array body 26 is fixed to one end of the lever assembly 29. The other end of this integrated lever 29 is rotatably supported by a support arm 30. One end of this integrated lever 29 is connected to one end of a connecting body 32 supported by a pin 31 so as to be linearly movable. A roller 33 is provided at the other end of the connecting body 32. This roller 33 is engaged with an eccentric cam 34. This eccentric cam 34 is fixed to a shaft 35 supported on the main body. The shaft 35 is rotated by a drive means (not shown).

Although this figure shows the arrangement body 26 and its driving mechanism provided on one side of the banknote B, the other side of the banknote B is similarly configured.

With this configuration, the amount of rotational eccentricity of the eccentric cam 34 is converted into the amount of rotation by the connecting body 32 and the integrated lever 29. Therefore, the lever unit 29 swings the alignment body 26, so that the alignment body 26 hits both ends of the banknotes B received by the impeller 21, correcting the posture of one banknote B to the normal state. Therefore, the banknotes B can be aligned and stacked in the storage section 20.

In addition, although the above-mentioned example was demonstrated targeting a banknote, it can apply also to other paper sheets.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, the longitudinal side edges of the paper sheets received by the receiving means are hit to correct the posture of the paper sheets while they are being received by the receiving means, so that the paper sheets are not accumulated in the storage section. Later alignment can be improved.
