Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is provided in a storage device a which is detachably installed in a vending machine, for example, and stores banknotes inserted from a slot by a customer.
A banknote storage box for collection that is stacked and stored in sequence by the operation of the storage box, or a removable banknote storage box that stores banknotes for customers to use as change, and a device that takes out change whenever needed. The object is a banknote safe such as a banknote box for change which is configured to take out banknotes in sequence starting from the uppermost banknote by operation, and moreover, it is a vending machine that collects banknotes stored inside it like the former storage box mentioned above. After removing the paper money from a loading machine such as [The storage box was set in another machine, as in the case of storing change bills in this machine.] 2. By operating the machine, change bills, etc., were sequentially stacked and loaded into the box, and this This invention relates to a device for taking out stored banknotes from a banknote storage/safe box, which is used by removing a loaded storage box from the machine and setting it in a vending machine or the like.

In the case of this type of banknote storage safe, a receiving plate is provided to receive and hold the stored banknotes inside, and especially when taking out the stored banknotes, back pressure is applied to the stored banknotes by the receiving plate, and the top of the stored banknotes is When using the vacuum F[:, to sequentially attract and take out banknotes one by one with a suction roll, if the back pressure against the stored banknotes is insufficient, the gap between the banknotes to be taken out and the suction hole in the second roll will be removed. If air leaks and the banknote cannot be taken out smoothly, and if the back pressure is excessive, even if sufficient vacuum pressure is applied, the banknote to be taken out and subsequent banknote phases r7. □Contact friction becomes large, and the banknotes cannot be removed, or multiple banknotes may be removed at the same time, or the removal process may not proceed smoothly.

Therefore, in order to accurately take out stored banknotes one by one (16th), it is necessary to always maintain the back IJ- of the top five pages of banknotes at an appropriate constant value, regardless of the stacked thickness of the stored banknotes. Therefore, it is necessary to control the back pressure as the stored banknotes are removed.

The present invention provides a device that can satisfy these requirements, and the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the illustrated embodiments. Figures 1 and 2 show the storage safe itself;
The storage safe 1 is an open type, and wheels 2 are provided at the bottom, and when this safe is used as a storage box for collecting banknotes or a banknote storage box for change, it can be used as a vending machine, a banknote collection processing machine, or It is designed to smooth the transition of the safe's rails when setting it in a change bill loading device or the like. Reference numeral 3 is a handle provided on the side of the safe for use when carrying the safe when setting it in another machine.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a receiving plate that supports the banknotes stored in the bank, and is connected across movable members 6 whose ends are engaged with respective slits 5 vertically provided on both side walls of the safe. 7 can be moved in the vertical direction (direction toward the open section 1) while in a horizontal state. Reference numeral 7 is a tension spring for applying a lifting force to the receiving plate 4, and one end of each is a tension spring. Each end of each moving rod 6 and each other end are tied to the side wall of the safe, and the middle portion of each spring is supported by a pulley 8 provided on the side wall of the safe. . By mounting each spring 7 in a meandering manner using a pulley in this way, the entire length of the spring can be made as large as possible within a limited space, and this allows the spring pressure to be adjusted to the extended length of the spring. I try to keep the changes small. Reference numerals 9 denote pusher bars that press and hold the banknotes 10 housed on the receiving plate 4 from above, and are held parallel to each other to open the safe 1.
It occupies a position across one part of the safe and is not needed when the banknotes stored in the safe are not taken out, so it is detachable so that it can be removed at this time, that is, in the embodiment, it is removable.

Note that the distance between these pushing rods is smaller than the width of the banknotes being handled.

The safe itself is constructed in this way; for example, when it is used as a storage box for accepting banknotes inserted into a vending machine, it can be left empty, and when it is used for change, it can be sold with change banknotes stored therein. When collecting the inserted banknotes that have been sent and stored in the machine, they are removed from the vending machine and placed directly in a processing machine that sorts and counts them, and the stored banknotes are taken out and collected or used for change. When loading change banknotes into the empty box, the processing machine or other loading machine is used to carry out this process. The structure and operation of the parts related to taking out banknotes will be explained.

First, when this safe is used as a storage box for accepting bills inserted into a vending machine, it can be used to store bills, or when it is used as a storage box for change, it can be used to load change bills into the empty box. A case will be described in which banknotes are stored in a safe.

In this case, the safe should be located at f
Il+・Chino was guided by the guide 11 of the other machine and was transferred.''-1 Handled banknotes 10 stopped at a predetermined position
A push plate 12 is installed on three sides of the mating machine, which moves up and down repeatedly in connection with the transfer of the handled banknotes.
As the push plate descends, the banknotes 10' that have been transferred above the safe are pushed onto the receiving plate 4 inside the safe and stored. As the pushing plate descends, the central part of the banknote]()' is sandwiched between the pushing plate and the receiving plate 4, or if there is a banknote already stored on the receiving plate, the top of the stored banknote As the pushing plate continues to descend, the sandwiched bill is slightly lowered together with the receiving plate 4, etc. against the force of the spring 7, and as the pushing plate rises, the bill is The bill 10' is raised together with the receiving plate 4 until the receiving plate is stopped by the pushing rod 9 while the receiving plate is holding the bill 10', and one bill is stored. In this way, by repeating the reciprocating movement of the pushing plate which is repeated synchronously with the supply of banknotes to the upper part of the safe, the banknotes are stacked one by one and stored on the receiving plate.

Next, on page 9, we will explain how to take out banknotes stored in the safe.In this case, the safe is set in the counterpart machine. With this set, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the end of each moving rod 6 is screwed to face the mating machine.
The take-out roll 1 is engaged with the engagement groove of the movable piece 14 screwed into the Ff13, and at the same time, one end of the uppermost banknote of the stored banknotes serves as the banknote take-out member of the banknote take-out device of the counterpart machine.
Located directly below 5. Note that the take-out roll 15 is provided with an intake air [I] on the circumferential surface of the roll 15 for vacuum suctioning the banknotes, and as it is rotated in the direction of the arrow, the banknotes are removed from the intake port that has come around to the position facing the banknotes. The air intake is designed to act on the air. Furthermore, 16 in the same figure is the roll 15.
17 is a transfer guide for the removed banknotes, and 18 is a guide for transporting the removed banknotes. Detection that indirectly detects the contact pressure of the banknote against the take-out roll 15, operates when the contact pressure is insufficient, and provides a signal to the control unit to rotate the screw rod 13 to raise the movable piece 14. During this time, the tip of the closing rod 19 is brought into contact with the uppermost banknote on page 10 of the stored banknotes.

After being set in this manner, the push rod 9 is removed from the safe. Next, in this state, as the take-out roll 15 rotates simultaneously, the stored banknotes are suctioned by the vacuum action in order from the uppermost banknotes, and are taken out one by one. If the contact pressure against 15 is insufficient, a detection switch is activated to detect this and sends a signal to the control unit.Based on this, the screw eave 13 is rotated, and the movable piece 14 that is screwed into it is moved to feed the screw. The contact pressure of the banknote against the take-out roll is increased by 2 times, and when this contact pressure reaches a predetermined set value, the screw punch 13 is activated based on the signal from the detection switch.
rotation is stopped.

In this way, stored banknotes are taken out under constant contact pressure.

As is clear from Section 2, the present invention provides a removable presser rod for receiving stored banknotes at the opening of the storage safe, and a movable rod connected to a receiving plate for applying back pressure to the stored banknotes. This movable rod is placed outside the box of the safe, and the movable rod is reciprocated and engaged with the drive unit as much as possible, so that the safe cannot be operated in any special way, replaced with parts, or It can be used as a safe for storing banknotes from a partner machine and for supplying banknotes to a partner machine without any addition. Since the movement of the receiving plate is controlled based on the detection signal, it is possible to avoid malfunctions such as making it impossible to take out banknotes or taking out a plurality of bills at the same time. When detecting the contact pressure on the banknote, the detection point is the point closest to the ejection device, and since the ejection is performed at one end of the banknote, detection is performed at this end of the banknote, so that proper and stable contact can be achieved. The pressure can be maintained. That is, depending on the banknotes being handled, for example, in the case of old banknotes, the stacking thickness may vary in each part, and the areas where the thickness differs are not constant and constantly fluctuate, resulting in a lack of precision in controlling the contact pressure. However, in the present invention, since the detection is performed at a location close to the take-out device such as the 11-page take-out roll, the contact pressure at the take-out portion can be maintained at an appropriate level at all times.
