DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a machine for handling paper type #1, and relates to a device suitable for making the device more compact and facilitating functional expansion.

[Conventional technology]

This rod device is conventionally known as shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 58-140890 and FIG. In the case shown in FIG. 8, paper sheets #i are ejected from the device 60 through the entrance 66, and one sheet of paper is discharged from the cassettes 61 and 62 in which the sheets are stored.
It is configured to take out the i-sheets one by one, and to transport the taken out i-sheets one by one by a belt 63, rollers 64, etc. through an entrance/exit port 66''f. 5 is a checking section that counts and discriminates the sheets. It is.

[The invention or the problem that the invention is trying to solve]

However, in the above configuration, among the constituent elements of the cassettes 61 and 62, the check section 65, and the entrance/exit 66, the paper conveyance path is connected to the belt 63. It is necessary to store a large number of pieces in a fixed manner in advance using the rollers 64, which increases the size of the device. It is difficult to change the transport path, and if it is changed, it takes time and effort to adjust the operation of the conveyance path. Furthermore, there is a problem in that it takes time to transport a large number of sheets one by one.

The present invention has been developed in consideration of the above-mentioned drawbacks of rice pressing, which reduces the cost of the conveyance path, and also allows easy modification and expansion of functions. This article proposes rfJR handling equipment.

[Means to solve the problem]

The purpose of the mission is to rearrange the paper sheet counting section between the entrance and exit section connecting the inside and outside of the electrical equipment and the paper sheet storage section, and this counter will count the paper sheets and also transfer the paper sheets between the two ministries. This is achieved by having a position control mechanism that moves in a manner similar to that of a father.

[Effect]

The counting section takes in paper sheets one by one from one end, counts them, deposits them on a plurality of ridge stackers at the other end, and then transfers them all at once from the repair stacker to the outside of the counting section. Also,
Since the entire counting section can move and transfer paper sheets between any of the nine constituent elements, an a-cone conveying path such as a belt is not required.

[I? vinegar〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, taking an automated teller machine wL as an example.

Fig. 1 is a configuration diagram of a banknote deposit/withdrawal mechanism of the 1-Kinshin recirculation type, which shows an entrance/exit section (hereinafter referred to as deposit/withdrawal port) 10 for handing over bills, a counting section 20 for discriminating and counting bills, and a side where the counting section 20 is located. @
It is comprised of a position control mechanism 30 that performs this, a storage section (hereinafter referred to as gold@) 40 that stores banknotes, and a control section 50 that controls the overall operation. Here, the position control mechanism 30 is connected to the drive shaft 3.

Perform the entire 0 pre-cooked cedar sea bream (arrow).

These drives are performed by a built-in motor (not shown).

In addition, the safe 40 is a safe for storing 10,000 yen coupons.
41. Damaged notes that have not been deposited (banknotes that are so dirty or dirty that they cannot be used for withdrawals to customers), 1,000 yen notes, 5,000 yen notes) that have not been deposited, and 2-piece wires when withdrawing money, etc. It consists of a reconnaissance bill storage 42 that stores banknotes that could not be counted correctly due to the inconvenience.

Next, the configuration and operation of the counter fh20 will be explained with reference to FIG. The banknotes a in the deposit/withdrawal port 10-g or the safe 40 are taken into the bank one by one by the take-in rollers 22 and 23, and are judged and counted by a discriminator 21 for authenticity and fitness. Separately,
The uncounted banknotes a are sorted into burial stackers 24, 25, and 26 via k) 27 and 28, and the banknotes are separated into banknotes.c.

Stack them like d. Further, as shown in the example of the banknote, the stacked banknotes are pushed out by moving the fork 24-2 of the banknote stacker 24 forward, and the paper/r *b'
passed as. Here, 29 is a conveyor path consisting of a belt and rollers! 'te1 The banknotes in the section 20 are conveyed only in one direction.

Next, the overall operation of the Isosai deposit/withdrawal system will be explained in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

FIG. 3 shows the withdrawal operation. When a customer operates a withdrawal key (not shown) to instruct withdrawal preparation, the counter 20
moves from the previous stop position to the position shown in FIG. 3 (1) (the position k where the upper end surface of the stored banknotes a in the genuine banknote box 41 and the intake row 222.23 match). At this time, the intake rollers 22, 23
The positioning is performed using the inner upper end surface of the genuine bill storage 41 as the reference position.
This is done by moving the count s20 downward from this point, and the microswitch 22a attached to the take-in row 222 comes into contact with the upper end surface of the banknote and is activated.

Hereinafter, the same applies to the alignment with the deposit/withdrawal slot R (banknotes).

When the customer confirms the number of bills to be withdrawn and instructs the withdrawal, the receiving rows 222 and 23 take out the bills a one by one, and transfer the bills that the discriminator 21 determines to be normal bills to the stacker 24. , the banknotes C determined to be rejected are stacked in the kidney-embedded stacker 25. At this time, the counting unit 20 lowers the banknotes each time it takes out one piece of banknotes according to instructions from the control unit 50, and adjusts the height so that the height of the taking-in roller matches the height of the banknote and there is no mistake in taking out the banknote. Continue removing while doing this. When the instructed number of withdrawal tickets has been taken out, the withdrawal is stopped and the counter 20
moves forward and upward to position 1 in Figure 3 (2) [(the position where the bottom of the deposit/withdrawal slot 10 and the bottom of the sorting stacker 24 match), and the fork operation of the sorting stacker 24 allows the banknotes to be put in and taken out. Push it out to the gold opening 10. At this time, the arrangement stacker 240 is aligned using the inner end face of the deposit/withdrawal port 10 as a reference position, and the counter 20 is moved downward from the position with a micro switch (not shown) attached to the paper surface of the stacker 24. This is done when it comes into contact with the paper surface of the deposit/withdrawal port 10 and operates. The same applies to the alignment with banknotes in the safe and other stackers. These controls are performed by instructions from the control section 50. When the transfer to the deposit/withdrawal port 10 is completed, the counting section 20 or 180 degree rotation)
and move downward to the position 1m shown in Figure 3 (3) (unfit note side 42
The banknote C' is moved to the position where the upper end surface of the banknote C' matches the bottom surface of the stacker 25), and by the fork operation of the stacker 25, the banknote c is pushed out to the damaged note III [42, the storage of the rejected note is completed, and the banknote is withdrawn. The operation is completed.

FIG. 4 shows the deposit operation. When the customer instructs the customer to prepare for deposit by operating the deposit key (not shown), the count s
20 moves forward and upward to the previous position 1 (Figure 3 (3)
) to the position shown in FIG. 4 (1) (flit where the upper end surface of the deposit/withdrawal port 10 and the intake rows 222, 23 match). When the customer inserts banknotes a that should not be deposited into the deposit/withdrawal 010, the take-in rollers 22 and 23 take in the banknotes a one by one, and the banknotes C, which the discriminator 21 determines to be normal, are transferred to the sorting stacker 25 for damage. The banknotes d determined to be banknotes and foreign-denomination Sakaki banknotes are stacked into the JP stacker 26, and the banknotes determined to be counterfeit and rejected banknotes are stacked at the sorting stacker 24. At this time, the counting section 20 moves downward in the same way as in Figure 3g3 (]) and continues taking in while adjusting the height. When the receiving of the deposit ticket is finished, the counting section 20 rotates 180 degrees and moves upward. It moves to the position shown in Fig. 4 (2) (the position where the bottom of the deposit/withdrawal 010 and the bottom of the sorting stacker 24 match), and the fork operation of the sorting stacker 24 pushes the banknotes to the deposit/withdrawal slot IO. . Here, the type of banknotes to be put into the stacker is different from that shown in FIG. 3, but this is done to improve production efficiency when returning the banknotes to the deposit/withdrawal slot.

An instruction to the effect that it is acceptable even if the banknotes are returned or the banknotes are received by the customer and the customer deposits only banknotes C and d.

That is, when the confirmation key (not shown) instructs the safe to be stored, the counter 20 rotates 180 degrees and moves upward to fit the position shown in FIG. Banknote C
' where the top surface of the stacker 25 matches the bottom surface of the stacker 25, and by the fork operation of the stacker 25, the banknotes C
is pushed out to the official bill storage 41. When the correct bill is stored, the counter 2
0 or downward to the position shown in FIG. 4 (4) (the position yt where the top surface of the banknotes d' stored in the bond warehouse 42 and the bottom surface of the stacker 26 match y - yt), and the fork operation of the sorting stacker 26 is performed. As a result, the bill d is pushed out to the unfit bill storage 42, the unfit bill storage is completed, and the deposit operation is completed.

What is wrong with the trc of this embodiment? J+! The elegant transport route is unsettling.

In this embodiment, there are two storage compartments in the safe, but there is no need to limit the number of storage compartments or the types of denominations, and the same applies to the return of multiple denominations. Further, although the safe is located behind the counter, it may be located below the deposit/withdrawal port IO.

Next, another second embodiment of the counting section according to the present invention will be explained with reference to FIG. In the same figure, parts equivalent to those in FIG. 2 are indicated by a 4- symbol. In FIG. 5, compared to FIG. 2, the sorting stacker 26 is arranged on the take-in roller 11111, and is used as a dedicated stacker for taking in banknotes. We are trying to That is, in the case of the rural operation shown in FIG. 3, it was necessary to turn the counting section as shown in (3) in order to store the pick ticket C in the safe, but this turning is no longer necessary. In addition, in the case of the deposit operation shown in Figure 4, the (2) and (3) turns are no longer necessary in order to return the transfer ticket.

Next, still another third embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. i6 and 7. FIG. 6 shows the entire structure, and compared to FIG. 1, the safe 40 is not placed below the deposit/withdrawal port 10. Also, Figure 7 shows the count M120 that can be used in Figure 6.
This is a block diagram of the ``implementation stacker 24-2'' compared to Fig. 2.
6 are all reassigned to take-in rollers 22 and 23911IK. The name of this configuration is that the counting section 20 does not need to rotate at all, but only needs to move up and down and back and forth (as shown by the arrows). Therefore, compared to the previous embodiment, the counting section 20
It takes only a short time to move the eggs, and the egg ripening time is short. In addition,
4i! - The embedded nut tacker 26 is arranged above the take-in roller, but this is done to reduce the installation space of the conveyance path 29 and to reduce the vertical movement of the counting section.

In other embodiments, the structure is somewhat more complicated.If the banknotes are taken into the counter all at once from the deposit/withdrawal port or the storage section and then counted one by one, the counter may You can move while counting. In this case, compared to each of the previous embodiments, only one banknote can be delivered in a shorter time.

[Effect of enlightenment]

According to the present invention, the transfer of paper sheets between the feeding/receiving means and the storage flat membrane is carried out by the counting conveying means which moves freely, so there is no need for a complicated conveying path. This makes the device compact and inexpensive, and also improves reliability. Further, position control changes of the counting and conveying means can be easily realized by program control, and functions can be expanded at low cost.
