Abstract

PURPOSE:To reliably prevent the extrusion of stored paper sheets by arranging brush-like elastic bodies face to face in the opening section of a bill storage box. CONSTITUTION:A frame 11 slidably inserted into a slide groove 5b formed inside the opening edge of a safe 5 is provided, and brush-like elastic bodies 9 are held inside the frame 11. When a bundle of bills are stored in the safe 5, the elastic bodies 9 are deformed downward via the pressing force of a presser plate 6 to store bills A in the safe 5, then the elastic bodies 9 are deformed upward and the plate 6 is lifted to discharge bills from the safe 5. In this case, the elastic bodies 6 are returned to the horizontal position to an opening 5a, thus the compression restoration of a bundle of bills and the extrusion of bills A due to irregular arrangement can be prevented. In addition, an upper cover is inserted into the slide groove 5b when the safe 5 is filled with a bundle of bills, thereby the frame 11 can be taken out and the safe 5 can be closed with bills being prevented from jumping out.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a paper sheet storage device, and more specifically, the present invention relates to a paper sheet storage device, and more particularly, to a paper sheet storage device that prevents the paper sheet from protruding from the storage box due to recovery of compression of the sheet when the sheet is pushed into the storage box. This invention relates to a paper sheet storage device that prevents this.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems] For example, in a banknote sorting and counting machine, banknotes classified by denomination are conveyed in line to a storage device, stacked in a temporary stacking section provided in the device, and the number of stacked bills is When a certain value is reached, the stacked banknotes are automatically pushed in a stacked state into a safe that is open to the stacking section, and stored in the safe.

However, banknotes are not always stacked in a constant state, and because the banknotes themselves have habits such as tears and bends, they are not stacked as tightly as new banknotes. After being pushed inside, the top layer of banknotes may protrude from the top of the safe's opening due to compression recovery, etc., which causes anxiety in counting.

In addition, this type of device is equipped with a means to detect the protrusion of banknotes, ensuring safety against such accidents, but each time a protrusion is detected, a reset procedure is required for storage failure, which reduces the amount of money that can be used. It was putting a burden on people.

[Object of the Invention] The present invention has been achieved as a result of studies aimed at solving the above-mentioned problems.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to reliably prevent paper sheets that have been pushed and stored into a paper sheet storage box for storing paper sheets such as banknotes from protruding out, and to significantly improve the stability of paper sheet counting. An object of the present invention is to provide a paper sheet storage device that can store paper sheets.

[Summary of the Invention] That is, the present invention provides a paper sheet transport section, a temporary stacking section for temporarily stacking paper sheets transported from the paper sheet transport section, and a paper sheet opening at the exit end of the temporary stacking section. The paper leaf storage box includes a leaf storage box, a shutter that opens and closes between the opening surface of the paper leaf storage box and a temporary accumulation section, and a pressing plate that pushes the temporarily accumulated paper leaves into the paper leaf storage box after the shutter is opened. The gist of the present invention is to provide a paper sheet storage device characterized in that an elastic body for checking paper sheets is provided protruding from the opening of the paper sheet storage box.

[Embodiments of the Invention] Hereinafter, an example in which the present invention is applied to a banknote storage device will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 to 3 show a bill storage device according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view showing the overall structure of the bill storage device, and FIG. 2 is a plan view of a paper storage box, that is, a safe. Third
Figures (a>, (b), and (c) are cross-sectional views for explaining the banknote pushing operation.

In FIG. 1, the banknote storage device includes a banknote transport path 1, an impeller 2 disposed at the transport end of the banknote transport path 1, and a temporary accumulation section 3 vertically installed on the side edge of the impeller 2. A pair of shirt flap plates 4 arranged at the lower end of the temporary storage section 3 so as to be openable and closable; a safe 5 installed on the lower surface of the shirt flap plates 4;
It is generally composed of a push plate 6 that moves up and down within the temporary accumulation section 3.

The banknote conveyance path 1 is composed of a combination of belt conveyors, and banknotes A of the same denomination are sorted by a device (not shown) and are conveyed one by one into an impeller 2 in a lined manner.

The impeller 2 rotates in synchronization with the conveying operation of the conveying path 1,
The supplied banknotes A are taken into each blade one by one and discharged into the temporary stacking section 3.

The temporary accumulation section 3 is chute-shaped, and the impeller 2
A pair of detectors 7 are provided at the discharge end of the banknote A.
The detector 7 detects each time the water is supplied, and the number is counted by a counter or the like (not shown).

The push plate 6 is located at the upper position shown by the solid line when banknotes A are stacked, and is lowered after the shutter plate 4 is opened to push the stacked banknote bundle into the safe 5.

A plate 8 for preventing the banknotes from falling is disposed inside the safe 5, and is lowered by the thickness of the banknote bundle pushed by the pushing plate 6 to minimize the difference in height between the banknote bundle and the banknote bundle to be stored next.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a pair of brush-shaped non-return elastic bodies 9 are disposed opposite to each other on both side edges of the upper opening 5a of the safe 5, and protrude horizontally from the inside of the opening surface. There is.

This non-return elastic body 9 is for preventing the compressed banknote bundle that has been pushed in from being restored or from protruding from the opening 5a due to irregular arrangement.As shown in FIG. 3(a), the pushing plate 6
The bill A is elastically deformed downward by the pressing force, and is received into the safe 5, and then, as shown in FIG. After being elastically deformed to the upper side due to the rise of the banknotes, the banknotes A are elastically positioned horizontally again as shown in FIG.

Further, in this embodiment, a frame 11 is provided which is slidably inserted into a slide groove 5b formed inside the opening edge of the safe 5, and the brush-like elastic body 9 is held inside the frame 11. The slide groove 5b is for attaching the top cover (flash) of the safe 5, and by inserting the top cover into the slide groove 5b when the safe 5 is filled with a bundle of banknotes, the banknotes can be secured while preventing the banknotes from flying out. The safe 5 can be closed at the same time as the frame 11 is taken out.

In addition, the notification number 10 in FIG. 1 is a plurality of pairs of detectors provided near the shirt flap plate 4 for detecting the protrusion of banknotes.

Next, the order of storage operations of this storage device will be explained.

When a predetermined number of banknotes A are accumulated in the temporary accumulation section 3, a count-up signal is sent out from the counter (corral) described above, and the operation of the conveyance path 1 and the impeller 2 is temporarily stopped.

Next, the shirt top plate 4 is opened automatically or by an operator's operation, and the lowest layer of banknotes A is made to face the plate 8 or the previously stored banknote. After the shutter plate 4 is opened, the push plate 6 descends and pushes the banknote bundle into the safe 5 as described above. After the operation is completed, the push plate 6 returns to the upper position, the shutter plate 4 closes, and the conveyance path 1 and impeller 2 are driven again to repeat the temporary accumulation operation.

Additionally, if a banknote protrudes during this period, a detection signal is sent from the detector 10, the operation of the device is stopped, and an alarm output is issued.
The probability of this kind of occurrence is extremely small due to the check effect of

Although this embodiment shows a case in which the present invention is applied to a banknote storage device, it is of course applicable to other storage devices for cash notes and other paper sheets.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, the paper sheets pushed into the storage box do not protrude, and the counting stability is improved. Also reset for poor storage! Since there is no 21 position, it is possible to operate the i position continuously and stably.
