Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Industrial application field> The present application sorts banknotes inserted into a ticket vending machine or money exchange machine, holds them, and automatically moves the held banknotes in a direction different from the direction in which they are inserted. The present invention relates to a banknote holding device that can be fed out.

<Prior art and problems> Conventionally, after the banknotes inserted into a ticket vending machine or a currency exchange machine are sorted, they are sent via a transfer mechanism to a holding mechanism consisting of a guide band wound between a driven roller and a driving roller. In a banknote holding device configured to sandwich banknotes between the winding layers of a guide band by inserting the guide band, a feed roller is interposed between a driven roller and a driving roller to guide the guide band, and a roller on the winding side of the banknote is inserted between a driven roller and a driving roller. A guide plate is arranged horizontally at the position of , and the upper and lower surfaces of this guide plate are used to feed and pay out banknotes. For example, there is a structure in which another feeding belt is superimposed on the guiding belt surface, and the bill fed out to the bottom surface of the guide plate is sandwiched therebetween to guide the bill in a direction different from the feeding direction. Tokukai Akira
It is known from Japanese Patent No. 49-43699.

However, with this configuration, not only does the holding mechanism consisting of the driven roller, the driving roller, and the guide band become larger, but also because the guide plate is fixed horizontally, it is difficult to deal with changes in the winding diameter of the guide band relative to the roller. However, there were deficiencies such as not being able to respond adequately, causing a risk of malfunction, and the direction in which banknotes were to be transported.

<Purpose, structure, and function of the invention> Therefore, the present application constructs a holding mechanism by winding a guide band in an S-shape between a driven roller and a driving roller that is driven in forward and reverse directions, and also feeds the inserted banknotes. The deficiencies of the conventional system have been improved by providing a branch passage between the transfer mechanism and the transfer mechanism that guides banknotes to, for example, a cash box, and the storage mechanism.The embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a driven roller, around which a guide band 2 made of a thin steel plate is wound. Reference numeral 3 denotes a main drive roller driven by a reversible drive source and arranged parallel to the driven roller 1, to which one end of the guide band 2 is fixed so as to be wound in an S-shape. Reference numerals 4a and 4b denote introduction guide plates for forming an introduction path 4 into which banknotes are introduced from the input port and sorted by the sorting circuit;
is in communication with a transfer mechanism that transfers the banknotes after sorting the input banknotes. 5a and 5b are delivery guide plates for forming a delivery path 5 through which banknotes are sent out from the driving roller 3, and this delivery path 5 communicates with a transfer mechanism that guides the delivered banknotes to, for example, a cash box. ing. The tips of one of the introduction guide plates 4a and the delivery guide plate 5a are joined, and extend, for example, upward in the figure, and the other one extends, for example, to the right in the figure, and the other introduction guide plate 4b The leading end of the guide plate 5b is curved backward and directed toward the front side of the driven roller 1, and the leading end of the other feeding guide plate 5b is curved downward and directed toward the winding position P of the guide band 2 on the driving roller 3. The extensions form a common path 14. Reference numeral 6 denotes a support shaft disposed parallel to each of the rollers at a joint position between the introduction guide plate 4a and the delivery guide plate 5a, and is rotated to cross the common path 14. A shaft cylinder 8 in which a plurality of switching levers 7 are provided in a comb-teeth shape is rotatably supported. Reference numeral 9 denotes an electromagnetic actuating body that urges the shaft cylinder 8 to rotate, and its operating rod 9' and a branch piece 8' protruding from the central part of the back surface of the shaft cylinder 8 are connected so that the bent portion is pivoted to the pivot point 1.
It is connected to both ends of the L-shaped link piece 10 which is bent 0'. Note that slits 11 and 12 are provided in the extensions of the distal ends of the other guide plate 4a for leading out and the guide plate 4b for delivery, respectively, for allowing the distal ends to intervene when the comb-shaped switching lever 7 is rotated. ing. 13 is a spring for restoring the operating rod 9'.

However, in the state where banknotes are held, the electromagnetic actuating body 9 is in an inactive state and the switching lever 7 is placed in a position that closes the tip of the delivery path 5, as shown in FIG. In this state, when a banknote is inputted from the input slot, the banknote is sorted by the sorting mechanism and then introduced into the introduction path 4 via the transfer mechanism, and the banknote traveling in the direction of arrow A is placed at the winding position of the guide band 2 on the main drive roller 3. P, the banknote is wound onto the driving roller 3 side together with the guide band 2 by the forward rotation of the driving roller 3, and is held. When the banknotes held on the drive roller 3 side are sent out to a cash box, for example, when current is applied to the electromagnetic actuating body 9, the actuating rod 9' retracts against the spring 13, and the link piece 10 rotates counterclockwise in the figure, and the second
As shown in the figure, the switching lever 7 rotates so as to close the lower end of the introduction path 4. Therefore, if the driving roller 3 is rotated in the opposite direction by the drive source from this state,
The guide band 2 is unwound and wound onto the driven roller 1 side, and the bill is guided in the direction of the arrow R in FIG. 2 and passes through the delivery path 5, and is delivered to, for example, a cash box via a transfer mechanism.

<Effects of the invention> Therefore, according to the present application, by rotating the driving roller in the forward and reverse directions, it is possible to not only hold banknotes, but also easily send out the banknotes in a timely manner without removing them from a ticket vending machine or the like. In addition, switching between the banknote introduction direction and the banknote delivery direction can be performed reliably by rotating the switching lever, and the holding mechanism can be constructed in a compact size, making it convenient to incorporate into ticket vending machines and the like. , and the overall structure is simple.
