Abstract

PURPOSE:To securely detect the loading condition of sheets of paper by detecting the pressing condition of a pressing means and the defined position of a supporting means to obtain a condition signal for indicating the piling condition of sheets of paper on said supporting means. CONSTITUTION:Sheets of paper 111 which are continuously sent in are temporarily held by a holding means 113 and loaded onto a supporting means 115 by the pressing force of a pressing means 117. Since the supporting means 115 is made swingable by a swinging means 119, its position is changed in accordance with the quantity of sheets of paper 111 loaded on the supporting means 115. When the supporting means 115 is placed at a defined position, a position detecting signal 125 is outputted. Also, at the time of pressing by a pressing means 117, a pressing detecting means 121 is outputted when the pressing means 117 is placed at a define position. And, in accordance with the pressing detecting signal 121 and the position detecting signal 125, a notifying means 131 outputs a condition signal 129 for indicating the piling condition of the sheets of paper 111 onto the supporting means 115. As a result, the piling condition of the sheets of paper 111 can be securely informed.

By obtaining a status signal representing the stacking status of paper sheets on the support means, reliable status detection can be performed.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a stacking state detection device for paper sheets.

For example, for voting tickets issued for horse racing, bicycle racing, etc., the dividends are refunded after the race is finalized. At this time, when the voting ticket refunding device performs the refund, the refunded voting tickets are accumulated in a stacker provided in the device. In such voting ticket refund operations, it is necessary to notify the operator handling the equipment when the stacker is full, or to give advance notice of this fact before the stacker becomes full. be. Since the operator performs work in response to this notification, it is required to reliably detect the full state of the stacker. Furthermore, if the stacker becomes full, the refund processing operation must be interrupted, so the full state of the stacker must be reliably detected.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, as a method for storing processed voting tickets in a stacker included in a payout device, there has been a method in which processed voting tickets are simply dropped into the stacker one after another. however,
In this method, the voting tickets dropped into the stacker may be out of order. Later, it became impossible to find a correspondence with the list for which refunds had been made, which was undesirable from a management perspective.

Therefore, it has been proposed and put into practical use that the refunded voting tickets are stacked and left in the order in which the refund processing was performed. In this method, the paper sheets are pressed one by one by the pressing means onto the supporting means to which elastic force is applied by the swinging means, and all the stacked paper sheets are constantly held by the elastic force of the swinging means. That's what I do.

Even in this case, the stacker included in the payout device was equipped with a mechanical switch for position detection. Since the position of the support means changes depending on the thickness of all the voting tickets stacked on it, the position of the support means is detected by a mechanical switch and the corresponding The operator was notified that the stacker was full of processed voting tickets.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

By the way, in the conventional method described above, a mechanical switch provided on the stacker detects the full state of the stacker depending on whether the support means is at a predetermined position at a time other than when the pressing means is pressing the voting ticket. It looks like this.

Since no prior notice is given before the store becomes full, there is a risk that refunds may continue even if the store is full.

In addition, processed voting tickets loaded on the stacker are sometimes taken out at a good point in the refund process. In that case, the support means loaded with processed voting tickets is pushed down and taken out from the stacker, so that the position of the support means is lowered and contacts the mechanical switch, and the processed voting tickets are full. There was a problem in that a detection signal indicating that

The present invention was created in view of these points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a stacking state detection device for paper sheets that can reliably detect the stacking state of voting tickets.

[Failure to solve the problem]

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the principle of the paper sheet loading state detection device of the present invention.

In the figure, the holding means 113 receives continuously sent filter paper sheets 111 as objects to be stacked, and temporarily holds each paper sheet 111.

The support means 115 is provided at a position facing the paper sheet 111 held within the holding means 113.

The pressing means 117 releases the paper sheet 111 once held within the holding means 113 from the holding means 113, and presses the paper sheet 111 so as to sandwich it between it and the supporting means 115.

The swinging means 119 rotates the paper sheet 111 by the pressing means 117.
The support means 115 acts to enable rocking of the support means 115 in the direction of the pressure in response to the pressure applied to the support member 115 .

[Press state detection means] 23 outputs a press detection signal 121 when the press means 117 reaches a predetermined position when the press means 117 presses.

The predetermined position detection means 127 outputs a position detection signal 125 when the support means 115 is at a predetermined position.

The notification means 131 sends the paper sheet 111 to the support means 115 in response to the pressure detection signal 121 and the position detection signal 125.
It outputs a status signal 129 representing the stacked state.

Therefore, as a whole, the paper sheets 11 that are continuously sent
1 is to be stacked, a state signal 129 indicating the stacking state of the paper sheets 1] 1 on the supporting means 115 is obtained by detecting the pressing state on the pressing means 117 and the predetermined position on the supporting means 115. has been done.

[For production]

The continuously fed paper sheets 111 are once held in the holding means 113 and stacked on the support means 115 by the pressure of the pressing means 117.

Since the support means 115 is swingable by the swing means 119, the paper sheets 11 loaded on the support means 115
The position changes depending on the amount of 1.

When the support means 115 is at a predetermined position, a position detection signal 125 is output.

Further, when pressing by the pressing means 117, the pressing means 117
is at a predetermined position, a press detection signal 121 is output.

In response to the pressure detection signal 121 and the position detection signal 125, the notification means 131 causes the paper sheet 111 to be moved to the support means 115.
It outputs a status signal 129 indicating the stacked state of the stacked state.

In the present invention, paper sheets 111 that are continuously sent
When the paper sheets 111 are to be stacked, the pressing means 1 of the paper sheets 111
The stacking state of the paper sheets 111 on the support means 115 can be reliably known by the pressed state detection means 123 for the paper sheets 117 and the predetermined position detection means 127 for the support means 115 that stacks the pressed paper sheets 111.

(2)--Daisen-Sara-Kuyaku An embodiment of the present invention will be described below, assuming that the above-mentioned correspondence exists.

Figure 2 (A) is a front external view of the overall configuration of a paper sheet loading state detection device in an embodiment of the present invention. Also,
FIG. 2(B) is its left side view.

In the figure, a cylindrical outer frame 240 with one end open and a square cross section is used as a stacking state detection device for paper sheets installed at a voting ticket refund counter, for example.
A pair of protruding upper protruding plates 212A, B and lower protruding plates 214A, B are fixedly formed along the inner surface near the open end side (in the figure, the upper part). The voting ticket after the refund process is automatically or manually inserted and placed between the upper protruding plates 212A, B and the lower protruding plates 214A, B.

Note that the voting ticket considered here is a horse racing ticket, with necessary information printed on the front side and recorded on the magnetic surface on the back side. It is in the form of a hard card.

The pressing plate 2 is fixed to the lower end of the plate-shaped push lever 251 in the gap between the upper protruding plate 212A, the lower protruding plate 214, the upper protruding plate 212B, and the lower protruding plate 214B.
53 is formed to be movable in the vertical direction. A plurality of guide rollers 255 are provided in contact with the push lever 251 to support the push lever 251 when the push lever 251 moves in the vertical direction.

In order to monitor the movable state of the push lever 251, an optical system detection section 223 is formed on the upper end side of the push lever 251 so as to sandwich the push lever 251.

Further, a through hole 257 having a rectangular cross section is formed approximately at the center of the side cross section of the push lever 251 .

A horizontal shaft member 259 having a diameter less than or equal to the length of one side of the through hole 257 passes through the through hole 257 . One end of the drive member 261 is pivotally supported by the horizontal shaft member 259.

The other end of the drive member 261 is rotatably supported at a fixed point. However, the pivot means is omitted.

Therefore, the driving member 261 can rotate around the other end, and accordingly, the horizontal shaft member 259 that is pivotally supported at one end of the driving member 261 can move left and right inside the through hole 257. , the push lever 251 can move up and down.

A ticket pushing magnet portion 270 is attached to the outside of one side of the outer frame 240. A solenoid coil, which will be described later, is included inside the ticket pushing magnet section 270. Such a ticket pushing magnet part 2
A rod-shaped hanging member 271 whose one end is connected to
It is located along the The other end of this hanging member 271 is connected to one end of a coiled spring 273, and the other end of this spring 273 is fixedly connected to a fixed support member 275. Fixed support member 275 is fixed.

A midpoint in the longitudinal direction of the hanging member 271 and a midpoint in the longitudinal direction of the drive member 261 are pivotally supported so as to intersect with each other. Therefore, the drive member 261 can be rotated in accordance with the vertical movement of the hanging member 271 by the ticket pushing magnet section 270.

Further, inside the outer frame 240, one end of a coil-shaped support spring member 219 is held at the lower end, which is the closed end side. The other end of the support spring member 219 extends upward within the outer frame 240 and supports the table 215. Therefore, the table 215 can reciprocate in the vertical direction by contraction and restoration of the support spring member 219.

Since the table 215 is formed to be slightly smaller than the internal size of the outer frame 240, its reciprocating direction is restricted along the inner wall of the outer frame 240. Also, table 2
15, since the lower projection plates 214A and 214B serve as stoppers, the maximum amount of upward displacement thereof is determined.

A detection switch 227 is provided outside the outer frame 240 on the opposite side of the ticket push-in magnet section 270. The tip contact portion 226 at the tip of the contact piece of the detection switch 227 is installed in a small hole formed in the outer frame 240 at the lower part of the table 215 so as to be inserted into the outer frame 240 .

The tip contact portion 226 of the detection switch 227 is normally not in contact with its contact 228 . When the table 215 is lowered and comes into contact with the tip contact portion 226, the contact piece of the detection switch 227 comes into contact with the contact point 228.

On the side where the ticket push-in magnet section 270 is provided, the shielding plate 2 extends upward from one end of the outer frame 240.
77 is formed. Furthermore, a take-out opening 280 is formed below the shielding plate 277 and is large enough to allow the voting tickets stacked on the table 215 to be taken out.

(ii) Control Part - FIG. 3 shows a control system for operating the paper sheet stacking state detection device according to the embodiment of the present invention having the above-described configuration.

In the figure, the paper sheet loading state detection device according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a control section 300 that controls the entire operation thereof. This is omitted in FIG.

Ticket pushing magnet part 2 connected to hanging member 271
70 is driven by a magnet drive circuit section 391 controlled by the control section 300.

The optical system detection section 223 shown in FIG. 2 is composed of a pair of a light emitting element 395 and a light receiving element 393. Light emitting element 3
The light receiving element 393 receives the light generated from the light receiving element 95, and detects the position state of the push lever 251 based on the light shielding state of the push lever 251 located therebetween.

Detection switch 227 provided on the outer frame 240 shown in FIG.
The detection switch 227 is also electrically connected to the control section 300, and the detection switch 227 is closed when its contact piece mechanically contacts the tip contact section 226. Thereby, the control unit 300 knows that the detection switch 227 has been closed, and the position of the table 215 is known.

Further, a preview display 397 and a full display 399 are connected to the control unit 300 . Among these, the full display 399 is used to notify that the stack of voting tickets on the table 215 is full. Further, the advance notice display 397 is for foretelling the state before the capacity becomes full.

The operation of the embodiment of the present invention having the above-described configuration will be described below.

FIG. 4 schematically shows the stages according to the stacking state of voting tickets in the paper sheet stacking state detecting device according to the embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, reference will be made to FIGS. 2 to 4.

First of all, in the initial state, it is assumed that the voting tickets that have already been refunded have not been inserted into the paper sheet loading state detection device. However, the control section 300 constantly energizes the optical system detection section 223. Therefore, the operating current is constantly supplied to the light emitting element 395, and the light emitting element 395 is in a light emitting state. If the light is not blocked, the light is received by the light receiving element 393.

In a normal state, since the control section 300 does not energize the magnet drive circuit section 391, no current flows through the solenoid coil in the ticket pusher magnet section 270. Therefore, the drive unit +4261 and the push lever 251 are stopped while being suspended by the spring 273. In the stopped state, the pressing plate 253
It is above the 12 people.

Further, the table 215 is supported by the elastic force of the support spring member 219, and is stopped with the upper end side of the table 2]5 abutting the lower protrusion plate 214A.

The press plate 253 is stopped above the two-part protrusion plate 212A, and the table 215 is stopped at the lower protrusion plate 214A, so that the upper protrusion plates 212A, B and the lower protrusion plates 214A, . You can insert your voting ticket between the two.

The table 215 is in the upper direction and it is located at the tip contact portion 2.
26, the detection switch 227 is in an open state.

After the refund operator has made the prescribed refund, the operator inserts the refunded voting ticket into the slot of the paper sheet loading status detection device. , the voting ticket is placed so as to be supported by the lower protruding plates 21.4A and 21.4B.Here, since the voting ticket is in the form of a hard card, the lower protruding plate 214A.

It is temporarily held without falling between B.

After that, the control section 300 controls the magnet drive circuit section 39.
1 is energized. The solenoid coil of the ticket pushing magnet section 270 is energized, and the electromagnetic force generated thereby pulls the hanging member 271 downward. Thereby, the spring 273 is expanded, the drive member 261 is rotated clockwise, and the push lever 251 is lowered. The pressing plate 253 fixed to the pressing lever 251 is connected to the lower projection plate 214. Forcibly press the voting tickets supported by A and B.

Here, the maximum downward displacement of the pressing plate 253 due to the drive of the ticket pushing magnet part 270 is
It shall be sufficiently lower than A and B. At this time, the upper end of the push-in lever 251 is also lowered than the location where the optical system detection section 223 is installed. Therefore, the light blocking state by the push-in lever 251 is released, and the optical system detection unit 2
The light emitted from the 23 light emitting elements 395 is received by the light receiving element 393 paired with it.

As a result, the control unit 300 and the push lever 251
It is known that the upper end of the optical system detection section 223 is lower than the installation location.

By the way, the pressed voting ticket warped and the lower protrusion +7it
Leave from 214A and B. Furthermore, it is pressed onto the surface of table 215. The table 215 is supported by the support spring member 21
9, the voting ticket is held between the pressing plate 253 and the table 215 and moves down together against the elastic force of the supporting spring member 219.

After that, the control section 300 controls the magnet drive circuit section 39.
1 is released from the biased state. Then, the energized state in the ticket pushing magnet section 270 is released, and the hanging member 271 is pulled up by the restoring force of the spring 273. Therefore, the drive member 261 rotates counterclockwise, and the push lever 251 (press plate 253) moves upward to restore the original initial state. Due to the elastic force of the support spring member 219, the table 215 is also restored upward.

Only the voting tickets pressed onto the table 215 remain as they are, and the voting tickets stacked on the table 215 abut against the lower projection plates 214A and 214B, and the table 215 stops again.

The above operations are repeated. As a result of this repetition, a plurality of voting tickets are stacked on the table 215, which are successively inserted.

The cases will be explained below depending on the loading state.

(Yu) The jn' vote that was J is the sword ~ Kosagi Sakai now pressed 25
It is assumed that the number of voting tickets stacked one after another on the table 215 by pressing No. 3 has not yet reached the amount that should be taken out from the paper stack state detection device.

As shown in FIG. 4(A), when the amount of voting tickets stacked one after another on the table 215 is small, the pushing plate 253 and the table 215 hold the voting tickets, including the inserted voting tickets, and push the lever. If 251 moves downward,
The upper end of the push lever 251 is connected to the optical system detection section 223.
below the installation location. Therefore, the control unit 300 detects the light reception signal of the light receiving element 393.

Further, since the amount of loaded voting tickets is small, the lower end of the table 215 is not in constant contact with the tip contact portion 226 of the detection switch 227. Therefore, the detection switch 227 is in an open state (state (a) shown in FIG. 4(A)).

Due to the bias of the magnet drive circuit section 391, the pressing plate 25
When the table 215 is lowered with the voting ticket held between the voting ticket 3 and the table 215, the detection switch 227 is closed because it contacts the tip contact portion 226 (the state shown in FIG. 4(A)). . However, since the number of loaded voting tickets is small, if the energized state of the magnet drive circuit section 391 is released,
The table 215 is restored and the detection switch 227 is opened again (state (c) shown in FIG. 4(A)) 6 In other words,
Due to the bias of the magnet drive circuit section 391, the control 4ff1
The first section 300 detects "the light reception signal of the light receiving element, element 393" and "the opening/closing/opening of the detection switch 227". In this case, the voting tickets stacked on the table 215 are
It is determined that the amount of paper sheets that should be taken out has not reached the amount that should be taken out from the paper sheet loading state detection device. It is assumed that the state has reached the state before the amount to be taken out from the loading state detection device.

As shown in FIG. 4(B), when the number of voting tickets sequentially stacked on the table 215 becomes large, the supporting spring portion 21
9 attempts to restore the table 215, its lower end contacts the tip contact portion 226, and the detection switch 227 remains closed (state (a) shown in FIG. 4(B)).
.

However, if the pushing lever 251 moves downward while the voting ticket is held between the pushing plate 253 and the table 215, the upper end of the pushing lever 251 will touch the optical system detection section 2.
23, the light reception signal of the light receiving element 393 is detected (state (b) shown in FIG. 4 (13)).

Therefore, the control section 300 constantly controls the detection switch 22.
7 is closed, and the magnet drive circuit unit 391 is energized to detect the light reception signal of the light receiving element 393.

In this case, it is necessary to give advance notice that the number of voting tickets stacked on the table 215 will reach the amount to be taken out from the paper sheet stacking state detection device. Therefore, depending on these signal states, the control section 300 turns on the advance notice display 397 to notify the operator that the paper sheet loading state detection device is about to become full.

(v) It is assumed that the voting tickets stacked one after another on the table 215 due to the pressure of the press plate 253 have reached a full state where they should be taken out from the sheet stacking state detection device.

As shown in FIG. 4(C), when the amount of voting tickets sequentially stacked on the table 215 further increases, the table 215
remains in contact with the tip contact portion 226, and the detection switch 227 continues to be in the closed state (state (a) shown in FIG. 4(C)).

Even if the pushing lever 251 moves downward while holding the voting ticket between the pressing plate 253 and the table 215, the upper end of the pushing lever 251 does not cover the installation location of the optical system detection unit 223 because there are many voting tickets loaded. (state (b) shown in Figure 4 (C)). Therefore, the light receiving element 393 of the optical system detection section 223 does not receive light. In other words, the control section 300 does not detect the light reception signal from the light receiving element 393 even if the magnet drive circuit section 391 is energized.

Therefore, the control unit 300 constantly detects the detection switch 22.
7 closed" is detected and the magnet drive circuit section 391 is in the energized state, "there is no light reception signal of the light receiving element 393".
Know that. In this case, since the number of voting tickets stacked on the table 2151 has reached the amount that should be taken out from the paper sheet stacking state detection device, the control unit 300
is turned on to notify the operator that the paper sheet stack B detection device is full.

The above-mentioned warning display 397 lights up to give a "full warning", and the lighting of the full warning display 399 lets the operator know that it is 1 full, so the operator interrupts the refund process and displays the refund process in the table 215. It is sufficient to take out a large number of voting tickets stacked in the order in which the voting tickets are taken out through the takeout opening 280.

1←MuL cancerヱ■Iku Yohiro JLff.

As described above, the operator takes out the full voting ticket from the sheet stack state detection device.

In addition, the operator may take out voting tickets from the sheet stacking state detecting device even when the paper sheet stacking state detecting device is not full.

In that case, when the sheet loading state detection device is neither full nor in a state where a notice should be issued, the operator lowers the table 215 and takes out the second voting ticket. When the table 215 lowers, it comes into contact with the tip contact portion 226 and the detection switch 227 closes, causing the control unit 300 to turn on the advance notice display 397.

Therefore, it can be misunderstood as a "notice".

In order to avoid such a situation, the control unit 300 sets r(iv) as a condition for lighting the advance notice display 397.
As mentioned above in ``In the case immediately before the device becomes full,'' it ``constantly detects the closing of the detection switch 227,'' and ``the light receiving element 39 is activated by the magnet drive circuit section 391.''
The control unit 300 controls the advance notice display 397 to turn on only when "detection of the light reception signal 3" continues twice.

As a result, even if the detection switch 227 is closed once by the operator pushing down the table 215 when taking out the loaded voting tickets from the table 215, the
Since the system does not issue a "full warning", it is possible to avoid situations that may cause misunderstandings to the operator.

In this way, the detection switch 22 closes when the table 215 on which voting tickets are loaded comes to a predetermined position.
7 and the detection signal of the optical system detection unit 223 according to the position of the push lever 251 that presses the inserted voting ticket, the voting ticket is detected in the paper sheet loading state detection device. Know the status of ``full warning'' and ``full''. Therefore, since advance notice is given before the full state occurs, there is no danger of the operator continuing the refund operation after the full state.

Furthermore, a detection signal indicating that the number of processed voting tickets is full can be accurately obtained.

Note that in the embodiment of the present invention described above, the position of the table 215 is detected by the detection switch 227, which is a mechanical detection switch. It may be an optical detection device such as the detection section 223. Similarly, a mechanical detection switch may be used instead of the optical system detection section 223.

In addition, we considered that the object to be input into the paper sheet loading state detection device was a voting ticket, which is a horse racing ticket.
In addition, voting tickets for bicycle races, etc. may also be used. It is not limited to these voting tickets, and other paper sheets such as tickets may be used.

Furthermore, in "1. Correspondence between Examples and FIG. 1",
Although the correspondence between FIG. 1 and the present invention has been described, those skilled in the art will easily imagine that the present invention is not limited to this and that there are various modifications.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, by pressing the paper sheets to be stacked and obtaining a state signal representing the positional state of the paper sheets and the positional state of the supporting means on which the paper sheets are stacked, This is extremely useful in practical terms because it can reliably detect the loaded state of paper sheets.
