CONSTITUTION:The first bill A is guided from an entry portion R5 directly to an accumulation transport system by a guide plate 208. During transport, the bill is continuously tapped by blades 201 of an impeller to be separated and free from belts 206, 207, and transported towards flappers 132, 133,with the upper end thereof tapped by the blades 201. Accordingly, the trailing end of the first bill is not collided with the leading ends of the second and following bills. Subsequently, a separator mechanism is pushed out in advancing direction for the second and following bills, and a magnet 213 is excited to put a plate spring 209 to a position for crossing a transport path 230. Subsequently, the bill A is guided to the transport system, guided to a temporary storing portion 32, with the plate spring 29 pushed down, separated from the belts 206, 207, and the bill A is tapped at the lower part thereof by the forward end of the plate spring 209 and transported toward the flappers 132, 133. Hereinafter, the bill can be stably accumulated by the synergistic effect of the above operation and the operation of the impeller.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to improvements in paper sheet accumulating devices applied to automatic transaction devices such as automatic teller machines (CDs) and automatic teller machines (ATMs). .

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

In recent years, automated teller
sMachine@: ATM) is installed in the mechanized corner of banks and allows customers to automatically withdraw cash (banknotes) or deposits (deposits) using transaction media such as cards and passbooks. It can be operated by oneself, but it can be operated for extended hours even after bank counters are closed, and it can also be used for unmanned operation installed inside department stores, supermarkets, etc., and more will be installed in the future. It is predicted that the number will increase.

Against this background, improving the efficiency of operating funds for deposit and withdrawal devices, as well as increasing the efficiency and rationalization of personnel, has become an important issue for financial institutions such as banks. In order to improve the efficiency of operating funds, which is one of the issues, automatic banknote circulation type deposit and withdrawal devices that apply deposited banknotes to withdrawal banknotes have been developed and put into practical use.

However, in this type of device, in order to store the deposited banknotes in the safe, it is necessary to have a technique for stacking and stacking the banknotes for each transaction, and for withdrawing the banknotes, for storing the banknotes at the payment slot.

Further, in response to the demand for miniaturization, a banknote retrieval device for retrieving banknotes from a cash deposit/withdrawal safe is being considered in which a stacking section and a retrieval section are provided in the same part in the same direction.

However, although this is not a big problem when stacking a small number of bills in such a device, generally the distance between the entry position of the stacked banknotes and the previously stacked bill decreases as the number of bills increases. There is an increased risk that the front and rear ends of the banknotes will collide with each other, leading to poor stacking.

In addition, a failure in the collection box may cause failure to take out banknotes when taking them out.

Various proposals have been made to address these problems,
For example, there are devices that perform the function of an impeller stacker that holds banknotes between the blades and sends them to the stacking section as they rotate. There were problems such as low reliability and damage to banknotes, as well as an increase in the size of the stacking device and increased costs.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention was made based on the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to treat paper sheets and their #s that are sequentially transferred through a conveyance path! It is a compact machine that can reliably stack sheets at high speed and in an aligned state without colliding with the stacked sheets even if the distance between them is small, and it can always stack them in a stable state regardless of the number of stacked sheets. It provides a stacking device for inexpensive paper sheets.

[Summary of the invention]

In order to achieve such an object, the present invention provides a paper sheet stacking section f for stacking paper sheets sequentially transferred through a transport path in a stacking section, which is located at the transport end of the transport path. A first biasing means for forcibly feeding paper sheets into the stacking section is provided, and the paper sheets forcibly fed into the stacking section by the first biasing means are moved in a direction perpendicular to the carrying direction thereof. A second urging means is provided to urge the paper sheets to be sequentially stacked in the stacking section, so that the leading edge of the subsequent paper sheets does not collide with the paper sheets stacked on the stacking section.

Further, the take-in mechanism 15& has the following configuration. That is, among the pulleys 55 and 56 around which the first D'Pt feed belt 53 is stretched, a take-in row 252 is provided coaxially with the pulley 55 located below. This take-in roller 57 is attached to the pulley 5 so as to protrude above the surface of the first conveyor belt 53 which is stretched around the pulley 55.
5) is also formed to have a slightly larger diameter, and the lower end of this take-in roller 57 is in contact with a reversing brake belt 58' which serves as a means for preventing the take-in of multiple sheets.

On the other hand, a back-up body 59 is provided nested in the second conveyor belt 54 . This backup body 5
9 is a guide shaft 61 via a linear bearing 6°
The banknotes A in the banknote storage chamber 51 are pressed against the first conveyor belt 53 side by spring force using the guide shaft 61 as a guide by a lever (not shown) and a quag body operating mechanism. In order to escape from the banknote storage chamber 51, the second conveyor belt 54 can also be moved to a lower position.

Further, the above-mentioned take-out mechanism 15b has the following configuration. That is, the second conveyor belt 54 is arranged to face the intake row 257, and has a pulley 63 integrated with a pulley (not shown) around which the third conveyor belt 62 is wrapped.
It is hung around a pulley 64 provided above. The temporary collection section of the banknote conveyance path R is formed by the mutually opposing parts of the third conveyance belt 62 and the fourth conveyance belt 66, which is stretched around a pulley 65 disposed at the bottom of the banknote storage chamber 51. 38 to the banknote storage section 51 is formed with a carry-out section R1 for carrying out banknotes.

The pulley 64 is swingable about a support shaft 68 of the lower pulley 63 and is attached to the free end of the arm 7 which is always biased by a spring 69 to a position where it is in decorative contact with a stopper 70.

This arm 7 is configured to be able to rotate about a support shaft 68 as a fulcrum by an arm actuation mechanism 72 against the biasing force of a spring 69. That is, the plunger 73 of the plunger type magnet 73 is attached to the pivot end side of the arm 71.
Connect one end to h and connect the middle part to j idobu! J74VC#
) The other end of the spring 75, which has a stronger biasing force than the above-mentioned spring 69, is connected to the plunger 73.
By pulling 1L, the arm 71 can be rotated clockwise against the urging force of the spring 69.

Also, banknotes A taken in by the taking-in roller 57

Note that the driven roller around which the conveyor belt 77 is stretched is rotatably attached to a shaft to which a pulley around which the reverse brake belt 58 is stretched is attached.

Of the two banknote presence/absence detectors 41m and 41b that detect the presence or absence of banknotes A in the banknote storage chamber 51, the upper banknote presence/absence detector 41b detects the largest size banknote, ie, the ten thousand yen banknote. When the banknote is securely stored in the banknote storage chamber 51 and there is a certain distance between the top end of the banknote and the optical axis, a "bright" signal can be obtained. . Moreover, the lower banknote presence/absence detector 41a is a banknote A...
・When the upper end of the bill protrudes from the deposit/withdrawal lower during withdrawal or deposit return operations, there is a gap between the lower end of the banknote A and the optical axis. hand,
Now you can get a light signal.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, the operation at the bill insertion timing during deposit will be described.

At the timing of depositing money, the door body 50 is pulled to the right by a motor (not shown) to open the depositing and dispensing lower part as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. At this time, since the back-up body 59 is in the position shown in FIG. 3, the customer transfers the banknote bundle A with mixed denominations and front and back sides from the deposit/withdrawal lower to the banknote storage chamber 51.
can be added all at once while standing. After inserting the banknotes, the door body 5o is moved to the left in the figure via the handle 50IL as a signal that the banknotes have been inserted, and the deposit/withdrawal lower is closed. This is detected by a detector (not shown) and a retrieval operation begins.

That is, first, the first conveyor belt 53 on the right side of the figure runs in the direction of the arrow. Along with this, the intake row 257, which has rubber with a high friction coefficient baked on a part of its circumference, also begins to rotate. Meanwhile, at the same time, the back-up body 59 is moved to the right in the figure by a back-up body actuating mechanism (not shown) to the fourth position.
As shown in the figure, the banknote bundle A... is pressed to the right and pressed against the take-in roller 57 and the first conveyor belt 53. At this time, the back-up body 59 is configured to be pressed through an intermediate spring (not shown), so that it can be pressed reliably regardless of the thickness of the banknote bundle A, and no strain is placed on the backup operating mechanism. .

As the take-in roller 57 rotates, the banknote A at the end is taken in. At this time, the reverse brake belt 58 is rotating in the opposite direction to the take-in direction of the banknote A.
This prevents the second and subsequent banknotes A from being taken in, and the banknotes A in the banknote storage chamber 51 are taken in one by one starting from the endmost banknote and fed between the conveyor belts 77 and 78. It turns out.

Next, referring to FIG. 5, the operation of transferring the returned banknotes returned to the deposit/withdrawal lower side to the banknote storage chamber 5 will be described. First, the deposit/withdrawal lower is closed by the door body so, the back-up body 59 moves to the left in the figure and retreats from the banknote storage chamber 51, and the conveyor belts 62 and 6
The tips of the banknotes A..., which are fed in at once through the carry-in portion R1 formed by the belt 6, can enter between the mutually facing surfaces of the second conveyor belt 54 and the first conveyor belt 53. ing.

After the delivery of banknotes A... was completed, the door body 50 was closed for banknotes that needed to be read again (such as the rejected banknotes at the time of deposit)! Then, the capturing operation explained with reference to FIG. 4 is repeated.

In addition, when the banknotes are automatically returned at the time of deposit or the banknotes are paid at the time of withdrawal, the banknotes are returned directly to the customer without having to be read again, and the banknotes are withdrawn at the time of withdrawal, as follows. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, the back-up body 59 remains moved to the left in the figure, and the plunger-type magnet 7 is moved while the conveyance operation of the banknote A is once stopped.
3 is suctioned, and the arm 71 to which the pulley 64 on which the multi-feeding belt 54 is stretched is rotated clockwise about the spindle 68. A... is sandwiched between the first conveyor belt 53 and the second conveyor belt 54.

Thereafter, the door body 50 is opened, and the second conveyor belt 54 on the left is run in the direction of the arrow at a slow conveyance speed that is reduced to L/10 of the normal conveyance speed, and at the same time the first conveyor belt 54 on the right 53 is similarly speeded down and rotated in the direction of the arrow, and the banknote bundler... is fed upward, and both conveyor belts 53 and 54 are rotated until the lower banknote presence/absence detector 41m becomes "bright". Transport is then stopped.

At this time, since more than half of the banknote bundle A is stopped in a state protruding from the deposit/withdrawal lower, the customer can easily pull out the banknote bundle A.

Also, since it is tightly held by the biasing force of the spring 75, it will not fall or be blown away by the wind.

On the other hand, when it is detected that the customer has pulled out the banknote bundle A... by the signal of the banknote presence/absence detector 41b above changing to "bright", the deposit/withdrawal lower is closed by the door body 50. The magnet 73 is released, the arm 71 returns to its original position, and the back-up body 59 located on the left returns to the position shown in FIG. 3), allowing the next step to proceed.

If the paper, lXf fever detector 41
When the signal b does not change to "bright", it is determined that the customer has forgotten to collect the banknotes, and the banknote collection operation begins. At this time, the action is as follows: First, while holding the bill person... The second conveyance belts 53 and 54 are run in the direction opposite to the arrow at a low speed of 1/10 of the normal conveyance speed, and the banknotes are taken in until the upper bill presence/absence detector 41b changes to "bright". When the color changes to "bright", all the banknotes A have been completely taken into the banknote storage chamber 51, so the attraction of the magnet 73 is released and the second
The arm 71 to which the pulley 64, around which the conveyor belt 54 is wrapped, is attached is returned to its original position, and the deposit/disburse lower is closed by the door body 50.

Thereafter, this banknote bundle A... is successively taken in one by one through the series of normal deposit taking operations described above with reference to FIG.

Next, the temporary collection section 38 will be explained with reference to FIG. 7. 80 in the figure is a banknote temporary accumulation chamber, and the bottom of this banknote temporary accumulation chamber 80 is connected to the side plate 8, and both sides are connected to each other by the extensions 62IL of the conveyor belts 82 and 62 of the accumulation mechanism 38a and the take-out mechanism 38b. It is formed by the opposing surface portion. Further, a branch conveyance section R3 of the banknote conveyance path R is formed by a pulley 83 disposed above the banknote temporary accumulation chamber 80 and a mutually opposing portion of a conveyor belt 84 and a conveyor belt 85 that are stretched around the pulleys not shown in the figure. 'r') Banknotes A distributed by 39m
is guided to a banknote temporary accumulation chamber 80.

Further, an impeller 86 is provided below the terminal end of the branch conveyance section R3, and is held between conveyor belts 84 and 85 to
The tip of the banknote A that has been conveyed sheet by sheet is inserted between the blades 86a and 86m of the impeller 86 rotating counterclockwise. Next, the leading end of the blade is guided downward by the conveyor belt 84, and when it reaches a predetermined position, the leading end is removed from the impeller 86. At this time, since the rear end side (upper end side) of the banknote A is sandwiched between the blade 86a of the impeller 86 and the conveyor belt 84, the banknote is conveyed downward, and the rear end of the banknote A is held between the conveyor belt 84 and the blade 86a of the impeller 86. When it reaches a position where it is out of the range, it is flipped off to the left in the figure by the next blade 86a.

Then, the banknotes A are accumulated in the temporary banknote accumulation chamber 80 with a sufficient gap formed between the banknotes A and the conveyance belt 82, and subsequent banknotes A enter between the stacked banknotes A and the conveyance belt 82. It is accumulated in the same way as above.

On the other hand, the conveyor belt 82 serving as a guide for removing the bill A from the impeller 86 is stretched between a pulley 87 located near the main shaft 116b of the impeller 86 and a pulley 88 located below the ID plate 81. . Further, the upper pulley 87 is attached to the free end side of an arm 92 which is swingable around the support shaft 89 of the lower pulley 88 and which is always urged by a spring 90 to a position where it is still in contact with the stop 291. E), the entire device is swung counterclockwise about the support shaft 89 by an arm operating mechanism (not shown) similar to the arm operating mechanism 72 (see Figs. 3 to 6) of the bill receiving/removing device 15 described above. It has a structure that allows for dynamic deflection. And the seventh
As shown by the two-dot chain line in the figure, the banknotes A in the banknote temporary accumulation chamber 80 are pressed against the extension part 62a of the conveyor belt 62.

Further, the conveyor belt 82 is configured to run at the same speed as the conveyor belt 62 via a drive system (not shown), and all the banknotes in the banknote temporary accumulation chamber 80 are discarded all at once (I!f conveyance It is designed to be fed into the unloading section R1 of the road R.

The presence or absence of banknotes A in the banknote temporary collection room 80 is as follows:
It is detected by the "dark" and "bright" signals of the banknote presence/absence detector 41c.

Further, since the front/back reversing unit 37 has a known configuration in which a conveyor belt for pinching and conveying banknotes is twisted by 900 degrees, a detailed explanation will be omitted.

It is comprised of a display section 177 that displays the subject, operation step, program, and operation status code, a display section 177 that displays the number of loaded or outstanding 10,000 yen banknotes, and a number of banknotes 176, and the like.

Next, the operation in such a configuration will be explained. For example, first, a customer (customer) inserts a card into the card insertion slot 5 after seeing the cleaning guide ``Please insert your card or bankbook'' displayed on the CRT display section 10. Then, the data on the magnetic stripe of the card is read by a reading section (not shown) and supplied to the main control section 150. The main control unit 150 checks the validity of the card. If the card is valid, the main control section 150 causes the CRT display section 10 to display an operation guide such as "Please enter your password." Then, when the customer inserts the PIN number into the operation button 8, the main control unit 150 checks whether the PIN read from the card matches the PIN number entered into the operation button 8 or whether there is a relationship. conduct. If they match, or if the relationship satisfies a predefined rule, the main control unit 150 controls C
On the RT display section 1°, the user is prompted to "select a transaction type" and instructions to select buttons for "deposit, withdrawal, transfer, balance inquiry" are displayed.

When a transaction type is selected, when the button 8 is pressed to perform an operation corresponding to deposit, the main control section 150 enters the deposit acceptance state and outputs a deposit instruction to the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12. Accordingly, the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12 opens the door body 50 of the deposit/withdrawal lower. Next, after the customer inserts the banknote bundle A into the banknote storage chamber 51 in a standing position with both front and back denominations mixed, when the door body 5o is closed, a detector (not shown) detects that the door body 50 is closed. .

Further, after the main control unit 150 determines that the banknotes have been correctly deposited into the banknote storage chamber 51 based on the detection by the detectors 41 a * 4 l b, the banknotes A are transferred to the frontmost one through the take-in roller 57 . One sheet at a time is fetched from one sheet at a time. This taken-in banknote A is conveyed via the taking-in conveyance path R2. At this time, the bill A is detected to be taken in by the bill passing detector 40a, and the main control unit 150 counts the number of bills taken in based on the detection signal. Also, banknote A 7ri' fffA5 part 3
6, detections such as ``short length'', ``longitudinal length'', ``magnetic pattern matching'', ``color separation of transmitted light'', and ``partial matching of fine parts using reflected light'' are performed. ``bill type discrimination'', ``authenticity discrimination J1 ``goodness/damage discrimination'', and ``front/back discrimination'' are performed, and the results are sent to the main control unit 1.
50. From this K, the main control unit 150 counts the inspection results using a counter (not shown). In addition, if the main control unit 150 cannot recognize the banknote as a correct banknote because it is not recognized as a valid banknote because it is not recognized as a valid banknote because the banknote A1 is duplicated or is markedly skewed during the authenticity determination, the banknote A1 is rejected by the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12. Output a signal. In this case, when the tip of the banknote reaches the banknote passage detector 40b, the first distribution r
- 39& is rotated to the right. Then, that banknote A1
1-t, yellow is temporarily collected in the temporary collection section 3B via the conveyance path R3.

On the other hand, it is determined as "true" in the authenticity determination, and "true" in the mounting determination.
In the case of an egg yen bill that is determined to be "back", the main control unit 150 outputs the signal to the deposit/withdrawal machine 812. Accordingly, the banknote A is sorted by sorting r-) 39 a and 39 b and is conveyed to the front-back reversing section 37 . The banknotes A that have been reversed by the front/back reversing unit 37 are transported via the transport path R4, sorted by the sorting tray 39d, and transferred to the transport path R.

, and is accumulated in the first temporary storage section 32 by the first accumulation/retrieval device 24 .

At this time, in each storage section 20, 21.22, the Seno and Rater machines M2s, Z9. 23(a) when SO has moved a certain distance from the standby state (STJ) shown in FIG. 133 claws 132h,・
...*I 33 a t... is in a state where it is holding the banknote A. Next, the pulse motor 11 is rotated around the support shaft 107.
When the movable body 108 driven by 0 rotates to the left, it reaches the state shown in FIG. 23 (cl) (STJ).

Next, FIGS. 38(a) to 38(c) show details of the integration operation that moves from FIG. 23(c) to the state of FIG. 23(dt).

The first banknote A is transferred from the carry-in section R5 by a guide plate 208 to a direct accumulation conveyance system 21 consisting of belts 206, 207, etc.
6. At this time, the first banknote A is 7 ratupa 1

and sent in the direction of FL/4132, 133. Note that, due to the movement of this impeller (beating wheel) 200°200, the rear end of the first roll and the leading edge of the second and subsequent tickets do not collide. For the second and subsequent bills, in order to stabilize the accumulation, the separator mechanism 28°29.30 is brought out in the direction of bill entry (in this case, about 25 baits), the plunger type magnet 213 is excited, and the leaf spring 2θ9 is moved across the conveyance path 230. Place it in the desired position. After the banknote A is guided to the conveyance system 216, the banknote A is

Thereafter, this operation is performed every time the banknote A passes, and due to the synergistic effect with the operation of the impeller 200° 200 described above, the banknotes are stably accumulated. If a banknote person rotates the rotary body 106, a part of which is formed of a high friction material on its circumference, clockwise, banknotes A (with different lengths in the transverse direction) will be generated.
For example, 10,000 yen and 1,000 yen), each sheet must be placed downwards.
Figure 3 (As shown in the field, the results are arranged (ST4)
. At this time, in conjunction with the movement of the movable body JOB to the left, the stopper rotating body 122 rotates counterclockwise about the shaft 123, and the tip of the stopper rotating body 122 rotates counterclockwise around the shaft 123.

When the number of banknotes exceeds 0 (ST, 5), the separator mechanism 2B, 29.30 is moved to the right little by little to relieve the pressure between the banknotes A and improve the stacking performance (ST
6). Further, the longitudinal direction of the banknotes A is aligned by an alignment guide plate 144 that moves by means not shown.
It is carried out at the time when it is out of 16 and is accumulated.

On the other hand, in the case of 1,000 yen banknotes and 10,000 yen banknotes, the same operation is performed, and the second. It is accumulated in the third temporary storage section 33 and 34. Also, banknotes that are determined to be "true" in the above-mentioned authenticity determination and "front" in the front/back determination are stored in the temporary storage units 32, 33 corresponding to each denomination, without going through the front/back reversing unit 37. 34
are accumulated in At the time of the above accumulation, the passing detector was 40m.

In response to the 4On+400 detection signal, the main control unit 150 counts the number of accumulated bills of egg yen, 1,000 yen, and -10,000 yen bills using a counter (not shown).

On the other hand, when the detectors 41 a and 41 b detect that there are no bills in the bill storage chamber 51, the rotation of the taking-in row 257 is stopped and the taking-in process is ended.

Next, when the non-rejected tickets are accumulated in the temporary stacking section 38, the arm 92 moves to the left, the rejected tickets are sandwiched between the conveyor belts 82 and 62, and are collectively conveyed through the conveyor path R. The banknotes are transported to the banknote storage chamber 51. (See Figure 7). The rejected bills thus returned to the banknote storage chamber 51 and accumulated are taken in and conveyed again, and a deposit process is performed.

In this way, after all the inserted banknotes have been accumulated,
The count is verified. Temporary storage unit 32 corresponding to the number of 10,000 yen banknotes, the number of egg yen banknotes, and the number of 1,000 yen banknotes among the genuine notes determined by the tsumashi inspection unit 36 and each type of note.

The number of sheets counted by the n and 40 ot/l knee is checked by the main control unit 150, and the count is guaranteed by the check of 21i (Sr1).

Now, when the accumulation is completed in this way, the excitation of the pulse motor 138 shown in FIG. Pushed forward by the push plate 97,
Push aside the banknotes in the temporary storage section 32, 33, and 34 (S
r8) o After the above-mentioned count verification, the main control section iso displays the number of bill types and the total deposited amount on the CRT display section 10 of the operation panel section 3, and prompts the customer to confirm the deposited amount and the number of bill types. When the customer presses the confirmation button (Sr1), the acceptance is "accepted" after online communication, and the pulse motor 136 shown in FIG. 9 is driven to first move the lower flap, as shown in FIG. 23(e). / While opening 4133, move separator mechanism 2B and 29.30 to the right (STMQ)
. Then, the lower flap/arm 133 opens, and the upper flap 1

It is controlled by a pulse motor 136 and a pulse motor 138. In this way, the banknote group A stored in each stage is pushed by the pressing spring 99 and moved forward by the push plate 97 of each stage.
Together with the banknotes A in the temporary storage section 32, 33, 34, the bill comes into contact with the stacking/retrieving device 24, 25, 26 and stops.

Next, as shown in FIG. 23 (hl), the movable body 108 is rotated clockwise to stand up, and at the same time the separator mechanism 2B,
29. Move 30 to the storage position as shown in (1) in the figure (13 in S). After fully closing the flap, 4132, 13.1 (87M4) separator mechanism 2B, 29.3

43) The remaining banknote person is checked again, and if there is no remaining banknote, the deposit transaction operation is ended here. If there is any residue, do not change the operation immediately after accumulation. The flow of banknotes in such a deposit processing operation is as shown in FIG. 24. Flowcharts for explaining the above operation are shown in FIGS. 25(a) and 25(b).

Next, the process of returning deposited banknotes will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 26. In other words, if the customer presses the cancel button when confirming the deposited amount, or if the result of online communication becomes "unacceptable", the main control unit 150 will not return the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 1.
A return command is output to 2. As a result, the temporary storage section 34
, 33.32 banknotes A are taken in in the order of 10,000 yen banknotes, 1,000 yen banknotes, and egg yen banknotes, and are stacked in the temporary stacking section 38. That is, first, the separator mechanism 2B, 29.30
Each VR type pulse motor 136 drives the

．． Insert a banknote of 33゜3゛4 between the claws 132a..., 133h...of A132, 133.

Next, by starting the rotation of the rotating body 106, all the banknotes A in the temporary storage sections 32, 33, and 34 are sequentially transferred to the temporary accumulation section 38.
(ST21).

The end timing of the capture operation at each stage is shown in Figure 27 ((riK
As shown, the banknote is removed from the residual detection lever 94 and the detector 96 is turned off (ST22) (see FIG. 15). Next, the separator mechanisms 2B and 29.30 are moved back to the left as shown in FIG.

), move it to the standby position (ST25),
Finish deposit return. If there is any remaining, do not change the return operation again (ST26).

Then, when all the deposited banknotes are temporarily accumulated in the temporary stacking section 38, the banknotes A are conveyed all at once to the banknote storage chamber 51. Thereafter, the banknotes A in the banknote storage chamber 5 are released by the banknote discharging mechanism (described above), and all deposited banknotes are projected from the deposit/withdrawal lower to prompt the customer to remove the deposited banknotes. , the main control unit 150 displays “
We will return the deposited banknotes. ” will be provided. As described above, the flow of banknotes in the deposit return processing operation is 5 as shown in FIG.

All the banknotes in the automatic return operation are temporarily piled up in the temporary stacking section 311/C under any conditions and conveyed all at once to the banknote storage chamber 51, after which the banknote discharging mechanism shown in FIG.
Pop-up mechanism) K) Returns all deposited banknotes to the customer. ), no inspection of returned banknotes is conducted.

The discrimination function is exactly the same as when depositing, but the reason why we do not use the discrimination function is because the recovery method is very difficult if the count at the time of deposit and the count at the time of return do not match.
This is because the ffl becomes sloppy, and there are cases where the count cannot be verified due to overlapping, etc. occurring during the operation of taking out the banknotes at the time of return.

However, due to the layout of each part of the principal withdrawal mechanism, a recovery method using IJ try is mechanically possible.Next, withdrawal processing will be explained with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 29(a) and 29(b). That is, when the transaction role is selected, when the operation button 8 corresponding to withdrawal is pressed, the main control section 150 displays the guidance text "Please press the button for the amount and finally press the Yen?" button on the CRT display. Display it as 10. The customer then inserts the amount using the operation button 8 according to the instructions. When inserting this amount, the main control unit 160 causes the CRT display unit 10 to display a guide message saying, ``If the amount is correct, please press Wl, if the amount is correct, press Wl, or if the change button is wrong, press the correction button.'' By pressing this button, the main control unit 150
We are communicating. Please wait for a little while. ” are displayed on the CRT display unit 10.

At this time, the main control unit 150 performs online communication and outputs a withdrawal command to the deposit/withdrawal device 12. Then, the deposit/withdrawal device 12 takes out banknotes corresponding to the above-mentioned amount from the banknote storage sections 21 and 22 and stacks them in the temporary stacking section 38. That is, first, the separator mechanisms 30.
32, 133 in the standby state (ST3) shown in FIG. 30(a).
1), the noil smoke 136 is operated and opened as shown in the figure (bl) (ST32).

First, take out the banknote A from the 10,000 yen banknote storage section 22. By turning on a clutch (not shown) and starting the rotation of the rotary body 106, the removal begins (ST33). The banknotes A taken out in this way are distributed to gates 39ti and 3.
9e, 39f.

39g and 39h, are transported via transport paths R4+R2 and R3, and are accumulated in the temporary accumulation section 3BVC. At this time, the banknote A taken out from the 10,000 yen banknote storage section 22 is detected by the banknote passage detector 40r, and the main control unit 150 counts the number of banknotes taken out based on the detection signal. Further, the banknotes taken out from the thousand yen banknote storage section 2 are detected by the banknote passing detector 40q, and the main control unit 150 counts the number of banknotes taken out based on the detection signal.

Then, when the number of bills taken out by the passage detector 40r+4'q reaches the set number, the main control section 150 ends the taking out of the banknotes A from the corresponding banknote storage section 22.21 (ST34).

That is, as soon as the detector 40rr4'q detects the final end of the winding, the clutch (not shown) is released, and the brake is excited to stop the rotation of the rotating body 106 (35 in S). At this time, the banknote at the tip of banknote group A is stopped between the rotating body 106 and the r-troller 113. In order to move on to the next operation, the banknote must be lifted onto the pedestal 130, and a return operation of tb (in the middle of taking out) must be performed. First, as shown in FIG. 30(c), close the upper flannel/4132, and
3 remains open (STJ6). Next, the 1 separator mechanism 28, 29 is moved (here, 25 m) in the stacking direction opposite to the rotating body 10G, that is, to the right in the figure, as shown in FIG. 30(d)K (S T 37 ). At this time, the residual banknote detection lever 143 first detects whether or not there are any residual banknotes (ST38). If there is a small amount of banknote A remaining, the detection lever 94 is pressed by the banknote person (No. 15).
(see figure), the detector 96 that detects the detection lever 94 remains bright.

If there is no residual residue, the detector 96 is dark. If the remaining amount is short, Furano/' J 32
T 1 j J is 5K as shown in Figure 30(e).

At the same time as fully opening, move the mono9lator mechanism 28, 29 to the storage position to wobble out and return (ST

Fully close 32 and 133 (5T40), move the separator mechanism 28, 29 to the right (5T4J), check the remaining part (ST2), and if there is no residue, close the separator mechanism 2).
8. Move 29 to the standby position and finish the extraction (
ST43). Now, as shown in FIG. 30 (1), if there is a small amount of residual paper left, keep only the upper flapper 132 closed and turn off the excitation of the J-Russ motor 13B to remove the remaining paper from the upper flapper 132 and the rear part of the flapper. Press the banknote A with the banknote A, turn on the clutch, and press the rotating body 10 as shown in FIG.
Rotate 6 and take out the banknote ring 9 (ST44, 4.5).

When the detectors 40q and 40r detect the tip of the banknote A, the clutch is turned OFF'L and the brake is turned ON to take out only one banknote (ST46, 47).

The banknote A that was taken out was sorted out at gate 39d.

39*, 391.39tL, 39b, and 39a, and are transported to the reject warehouse 49 via the transport path R6z R4. Then, with only the upper 7 flap 132 closed, the third
Figure 0 (as shown in -, move the separator mechanism 28.29 to the right ST, T7), the same figure (as shown in A, check for residual residue 5TJ8), if not, move the flapper 132. When the i33 is fully opened, simultaneously move the separator mechanism 28 and 29 to the storage position as shown in the same figure.
ST39).

Fully close the flannel A132, 133 (S T 4θ),
In the separator mechanism, use 25 gourds (ST47) and check the remaining S
42), and if there is no residue, the separator mechanisms 28 and 29 are moved to the standby position (ST43). Further, when the taken-out banknote passes through the inspection section 3-6, "outer pole discrimination" is performed, and the result is supplied to the main control section 150.

Accordingly, the main control unit 150 counts the inspection results using a counter (not shown). By the way, the banknotes to be accumulated in the temporary yellow collection section 38 are detected by the banknote passage detector 40f, and the main control section 150 counts the number of banknotes stacked based on the detection signal.

Then, when the number of bills taken out by the passage detectors 40r and 40q reaches the set number, the main control section 150 ends the taking out of bills from the corresponding bill storage section 22.21.

In fact, the main control unit 150 checks the number of 1,000 yen banknotes and 10,000 yen banknotes according to the scanning results so that the added number of banknotes matches the accumulated number of banknotes.

At this time, the taken out banknote A passes through the @filling section 36 and
Bill storage compartments 22 and 21 corresponding to each red color according to the bill type discrimination
It is reconfirmed that it is the same type of ticket that was taken out. Normally, this "ticket type determination" does not require rerolling, but it is best to reconfirm as it cannot be said that there are no errors when the clerk sets the missing amount.

Regarding "determination of fitness and loss", depending on the operation mode at the time of deposit,
It will be determined whether classification based on fitness or loss is necessary. -2)
For deposits, we will accept any dirt, tear, or repaired bill with cellophane tape as long as it is a "true" bill and the type of bill can be determined.

They may be stored in the 10,000 yen storage unit 22 and the 1,000 yen storage unit 2 for withdrawal, or they may be stored in the egg yen/elimination ticket storage unit 2Q, and in the former case, there will be no loss when withdrawing money. Judgment is necessary, but in the latter case it is not particularly necessary.

In any case, unfit notes must be avoided as banknotes to be paid out to customers.

If the fit/failure classification control is performed, the unfit notes are those that have overlapped notes that occur when normal banknotes are taken out, significant skew, or have abnormal pitches that exceed the standard, and are judged to be unidentifiable by the inspection unit 36. Egg yen/excluded ticket storage part 2 as well as the excluded banknotes that have become
0, and are collected and stored. In addition, when a rejected ticket is generated, the first r-t 31m is rotated to the left and the ticket is accumulated and stored in the egg circle/rejected ticket storage section 20 as it is without going through the front-back reversing section 37. When storing rejected tickets, it is possible to switch to the rejected ticket accumulating section 49.

Note that the flow of banknotes in the above-described payment processing operation is as shown in FIG. 31.

When eliminated tickets are generated in this way, additional withdrawals are made to replenish the number of tickets for the specified number of schools.

Therefore, the paid bills accumulated in the temporary accumulation section 38 are
The banknotes are sent out all at once by the mechanism shown in FIG. 7 and accumulated in the banknote storage chamber 51. Later, after communicating online,
When the transaction is "permitted", the banknote discharging mechanism shown in Figure 6)
Hold the banknotes in the arm 71 and wait for them to be dispensed and removed by the customer @ Also, if the transaction is determined to be "unacceptable" after online communication, the disbursed bills accumulated in the bill storage chamber 51 will be removed at the time of deposit. The banknotes are taken in one by one in the same manner as in the above process, and after being discriminated, they are stored in the original storage sections 22 and 21 for each type of banknote. In this way, by employing a parallel operation in which the withdrawal of banknotes is started at the same time as communication begins, the processing time for the transaction can be significantly shortened and efficiency can be improved. Furthermore, even if the frequency of transactions being rejected becomes less frequent, there is no problem because the removed banknotes can be returned to the original storage section.

Next, the banknote is lifted by the banknote discharging mechanism shown in Fig. 6, and the banknote is discharged waiting for the customer to take it out, the banknote is discharged when the deposit is automatically returned, and the banknote is discharged when a customer operation timeout occurs when the deposit exclusion ticket is discharged. The operation of collecting forgotten banknotes will be explained with reference to the flow of banknotes in FIG. 32.

In the discharge mechanism shown in FIG.
The banknote bundle A that has been pushed out while being sandwiched between the second conveyor belt 54 is rotated in the direction opposite to the arrow by a drive source (not shown) and returned to the banknote storage chamber 51. Banknote detector 4
When 1b is "light J" and 41h is "dark", that is, the banknote has been completely pulled back and taken into the banknote storage chamber 51, so the attraction of the magnet 73 is released and the second conveyance is performed. The arm 7) attached to the pulley 64 around which the belt 54 is wrapped is returned to its original position, and the door body 50 is automatically closed to close the deposit/withdrawal lower. Thereafter, this banknote bundle A is successively taken in one by one through the above-described normal deposit receiving sequence shown in FIG. At this time, the dart 39g is tilted downward, and the banknotes taken in one by one are passed through the conveyance path R1 to the collected/loaded banknote storage section 2.
3 and stored in the temporary storage unit 35 after processing is completed.

This collection process is carried out in an operation mode in which the collected/loaded banknote storage section 23 is continued until it is full, an operation mode in which no correspondence is made between collected transactions and collected banknotes, and an operation mode in which correspondence is established between the collected transactions and the collected banknotes, that is, the first collected banknote. are stored in the collected/loaded banknote storage section 23, and the second collected banknotes are stored in a temporary storage section 35 separated by a separator mechanism 31, and
The banknotes collected for the first time can be kept in the banknote storage chamber 51, and collection processing can be carried out for the third time without stopping the device.

In the above description, the collected banknotes are taken directly into the collected/loaded banknote storage part 23 without passing through the inspection part 36.
After the collected banknotes are identified and counted through the paper and accumulated in the temporary stacking section 38, they are returned to the banknote storage chamber 51 all at once, and this time, the dart 39g is tilted downward for sorting, and the banknotes are taken in again and collected/loaded into the banknote storage. It is also mechanically possible to put it in the section 23.

Further, the collected banknotes can be inspected and counted in the same manner as deposits, and can be sorted and put into the banknote storage sections 20, 21, and 22 for each type of banknote.

Next, FIG. 33(a) shows the banknote loading process.

This will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in (b) and the flow of banknotes shown in FIG. First, first thing in the morning, the clerk mixes the 10,000 yen banknotes, 1,000 yen M, and bills needed for the day, stores them in the banknote storage section 23rF: of the fourth safe cassette 19, and sets them in the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12.

And the staff member loaded the internal monitor 13? Press down on the button 160. (ST5J). By pressing down this loading button 160, the main control unit 150 detects the detector 41 or 41f+4.
Detection signals from 1g, 41c, 41bh40a, . 5T52), the error code is displayed on the operating status display section 161 of the internal monitor 13 to indicate that the error remains, and a good news is generated. (ST5J
). In response to this alarm, the clerk removes the banknote from the banknote storage section 21,22.

(ST54). At this time, the main control unit 150 displays a message on the CRT display unit 1o saying, ``Loading is in progress, so please wait for a while.''

Next, the main control unit 150 checks whether there are banknotes in the loading banknote storage unit 23Vc based on the detection signal from the detector 41h (5T55), and if there are no banknotes, an error message is displayed on the operation status display unit 161 of the internal monitor 13. Display the code and generate an obituary. (ST, 56i). The alarm clerk mixes 10,000 yen bills and 1,000 yen bills and stores them in the bill storage section 23 of the fourth safe cassette 19. (ST57).

Then, if there are banknotes to be loaded and there are no banknotes remaining at all locations, the main control unit 150 will sort dirt 39 & to the right, sort f-to J 9 h to the right, and sort r-to 39.
Rotate g downward.

Accordingly, the banknotes in the banknote storage section 23 are taken out one by one one by one and conveyed to the inspection section 36 by the conveyance path R6, similar to the above-described takeout operation when dispensing money. Then, the inspection section 36 discriminates the banknote and outputs the discrimination result to the main control section 150. Accordingly, the main control unit 150 counts the number of thousand yen banknotes and the number of ten thousand yen banknotes. The banknotes that have passed through the inspection section 36 operate in the same manner as during the deposit processing, and the rejected tickets are accumulated in the temporary accumulation section 38, and the 10,000 yen banknotes and the 1,000 yen banknotes are accumulated in the respective temporary storage sections 34 and 33. C3T5B). Then, when either the 10,000 yen temporary storage unit 34 or the 1,000 yen temporary storage unit 33 reaches 100 bills, the removal of banknotes from the banknote storage unit 23 is temporarily stopped, and the 100 banknotes are transferred to the 10,000 yen banknote storage unit. 22 or 1,000 yen bill storage section 2.

When this storage operation is completed, the banknote removal from the banknote storage section 23 is started, and when the temporary storage section 33, 34 reaches 100 sheets, the removal operation is temporarily stopped,
The accumulated banknotes are stored in the corresponding storage section. (Si
59). This operation is taken out until the banknotes run out, until the empty banknote detector 42 detects that there are no banknotes in the banknote storage section 23.
And continue until the detector 41h becomes "bright". (Si20
). The last banknote is transported and temporarily stored in the storage section 33.34.
After the banknotes are accumulated, the main control unit 150 detects that no banknotes remain in the transportation path R of each section using the detectors 401L, and stops each section. At this time, the main control section 150 causes the rejected tickets accumulated in the temporary accumulation section 38 to be conveyed all at once to the banknote storage chamber 51.

(See Figure 7). (Si20). Next, bill storage room 5
Similar to the collection operation described above, the banknotes are taken out one by one and accumulated in the temporary storage section 35, and then stored in the banknote storage section 23 after detecting whether there are any remaining banknotes.

In this way, when a series of loading operations is completed, 1 main control unit 1
Reference numeral 50 indicates the contents of the banknotes loaded on the journal (by a printing section (not shown) in the card/slip processing unit 1).
As shown in FIG. 5, the number of ten thousand yen banknotes and thousand yen banknotes for each type of banknote and the total amount are printed, and the number of ten thousand yen banknotes and one thousand yen banknotes are displayed on the number display section 164 of the internal monitor 13. The number of tickets for each type of ticket is displayed.

(ST6.?). Furthermore, if the exclusion ticket has been returned, the main control unit 150 displays the collection/loading indicator 17 to notify the staff.

Accordingly, the clerk takes out the returned banknotes from the banknote storage unit 2.7K by pulling out the fourth safe casing and box 19, and counts the number of banknotes. Based on this number, the contents printed on the glossy paper, and the contents displayed on the internal monitor 13, the staff member checks and confirms the number and amount of each ticket type that he or she initially set. At the time of this confirmation, the staff member presses down the storage button 166 on the internal monitor 13. (ST6.?). In this way, temporary storage 33.3
The last bill stacked in banknotes 4 is stored in each storage section 21 and 22 to complete the loading process.

If verification cannot be made due to an excess or shortage of banknotes at the stage of setting the banknotes or an error in calculation by the staff, will the internal monitor 13 be returned?
Press down on the button 167. When this button is pressed down,
All the loaded banknotes in each storage section 22, 23 and each temporary storage section 34, 33 for 10,000 yen banknotes and 1,000 yen banknotes are taken out one by one in the same process as the removal operation at the time of withdrawal, and transferred to the conveyance path R6.
The sample is conveyed to the inspection section 36 through the inspection section 36. Sorting't"b3
9th is rotated to the right, 39h is rotated to the left)
The banknotes that have passed through the inspection section 36 are sorted according to the direction of the gate 39IL and pass through the conveyance path R3, and then enter the conveyance path R7 according to the direction of the sorting f-to J9h. Thereafter, the banknotes are conveyed from the conveyance path R7 through the conveyance path R2, rotated downward through the sorting tray 39g, and then entered the temporary storage section of the collection/loaded banknote storage section 23 into the conveyance path R5. 35
are collected and stored. This operation is repeated intermittently every 100 sheets in the same way as when loading, and each storage section 22, 21 and temporary storage section 34, 33 for 10,000 yen banknotes and 1,000 yen banknotes are empty, and the banknotes are removed from the conveyance path. It continues until it runs out and is completed. (Si64). The flow of banknotes in the return processing at the time of loading is as shown in FIG.

As mentioned above, the loading process is performed intermittently for every 100 bills of each type, and stacking and storing are repeated, so even if a bill jams in the takeout section, conveyance section, stacking section, etc. during processing,
The banknotes stored up to that point are guaranteed to be counted, so leave the banknotes in the storage section 22.21 for 10,000 yen and 1,000 yen banknotes as they are, and only the banknotes in the temporary storage section 34.33 and the banknotes being transported and removed. You can continue by pressing the loading button 160 after removing and resetting. In this way, it is easy for the staff to perform a repair process when a problem occurs.

Also, when fully loaded, it is common knowledge for a banknote to be set with the D type front clasp in order and in good condition.
In order to handle cases where both fronts and backs are mixed, the inspection function utilizes all the functions of ``bill type discrimination'', ``front and back discrimination'', ``fairness discrimination'', and ``authenticity discrimination'', just like when depositing. There is. When it is fully loaded, the processing time is long because the staff is only processing it first thing in the morning and there are a lot of bills, so it would be wiser to suspend operation as an automatic transaction device, and it would be better for customers. good.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.

That is, although the paper sheet stacking device of the present invention is applied to a banknote automatic decrement type depositing and dispensing device to stack banknotes, it is not possible to apply the paper sheet stacking device of the present invention to a paper sheet stacking unit where paper sheets are sequentially transferred via a conveyance path. Of course, the present invention may be applied to stacking paper sheets other than banknotes as long as they need to be stacked.

Further, the first biasing means, which is located at the transport end of the transport path and forcibly sends the paper sheets to the stacking section, is composed of a rotary impeller having blades made of an elastic member, Although the configuration is such that the paper sheets are hit continuously, the present invention is not limited to this, and any configuration may be used as long as the paper sheets that have reached the terminal end of the conveyance path can be forcibly fed into the stacking section.

In addition, it goes without saying that the present invention can be modified in various ways without changing the paper of the present invention. [Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, the paper is sequentially transferred via the conveyance path. In a paper sheet stacking device for stacking paper sheets in a stacking section, a first biasing means is provided at a conveyance terminal end of the conveyance path and forcibly sends the paper sheets to the stacking section; , a second urging means is provided for urging the paper sheets forcibly fed into the stacking section by the first urging means in a direction perpendicular to the direction of conveyance thereof, so that the sheets are sequentially accumulated in the stacking section. This is to prevent the leading edge of subsequent paper sheets from colliding with the paper sheets stacked in the stacking section. Therefore, even if there is a small gap between the paper sheets that are sequentially transferred through the conveyance path and the paper sheets that have been stacked in front of them, they can be reliably stacked at high speed and in an aligned state without colliding with each other. Moreover, it is possible to provide a stacking device for small and inexpensive paper sheets that can be stacked in a stable state at all times regardless of the number of sheets to be stacked.
