Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Field of the invention This invention relates to a paper sheet collection device in a paper sheet processing device such as an automatic cash dispensing machine used in banking operations, and more specifically relates to a paper sheet collection device for paper sheet processing equipment such as an automatic cash dispensing machine used in banking operations. If the paper sheet is not taken out by the customer etc. even though it has been sent out onto the receiving tray of the paper sheet delivery port according to the predetermined processing operation, the paper sheet is automatically taken into the processing device and collected. related to a device for

(b) Background of the invention Banknotes, cards, securities, slips (receipts, etc.)
As shown in FIG. 3, a paper sheet processing device that handles paper sheets, for example, the automatic cash dispensing machine described above, generally has a
Conveyor belt conveyors D and E are installed to sandwich and convey banknotes C from inside the automatic teller machine to a tray B provided at the banknote outlet A, but if for some reason the banknotes C delivered onto the tray C are If you forget to take it out and leave it there, you have to automatically collect it inside the payment machine.

However, in order to discharge and stack a large number of banknotes C onto the receiving tray B, a head height h is normally provided between the receiving tray B and the terminal end F of bill conveyance by the upper and lower conveyor belt conveyors D and E. In order to do this, it is necessary to push up the banknotes C to the same level as the banknote conveyance terminal end F, bring them into contact with the upper conveyor belt conveyor D, and then collect them by driving the belt conveyors D and E in reverse.

For this reason, a mechanism has been proposed in which a push-up roller G is installed directly below the tray B, and the push-up roller G is raised through the tray B during collection to push up the bill C. According to this mechanism, as shown in the figure. The banknote C is bent and deformed as shown in FIG.
This makes it more difficult to slide it between belt conveyors D and E, and as a result, it is taken in in a folded state, resulting in a jam.

Furthermore, since the contact area between the belt conveyor D and the banknotes C is small, the belt and the banknotes may slip, making the collection operation uncertain.

(C) Purpose of the invention This invention aims to provide a paper sheet collection device that can push up paper sheets such as banknotes and press them against a wide area of an upper conveyor belt without causing any bending or deformation. purpose.

(d) Main part of the invention This invention is equipped with a movable body including a paper sheet delivery guide plate and a touch roller pivotally supported by the sheet delivery guide plate immediately below the conveyance end of the upper conveyor belt conveyor. , the paper sheet collecting device is characterized in that the guide plate and the touch roller are configured to be movable in the vertical direction toward and away from the upper conveyor belt conveyor.

(E) Effect of the invention According to this invention, paper sheets are supported by a sending guide plate, and when collecting, this guide plate and tatsuchi roll are raised, and the paper sheets are pressed against the upper conveyor belt by this guide plate. Therefore, there is no bending or deformation of the paper sheets during this upward movement, which eliminates the folding and collection of paper sheets and the occurrence of jams.
By increasing the area of contact between paper sheets and the upper conveyor belt, relative slip when the belt conveyor is reversed can be eliminated, and reliable collection can be achieved.

(F) Embodiment of the invention An embodiment of the invention will be described below based on the drawings.

1 and 2 show a bill dispensing portion of an automatic cash dispensing machine equipped with a collecting device of this invention. A sensor 4 is provided to detect the banknotes C discharged onto the receiving tray 3.

The built-in upper and lower conveyor belt conveyors 5 and 6 are used to sandwich and convey the banknotes C and discharge them onto the receiving tray 3, and have a well-known structure having endless belts 5a and 6a. It includes rollers (pulleys) 5b and 6b.

As shown in the figure, the conveying end of the upper conveyor belt conveyor 5 is provided to protrude beyond the conveying end of the lower conveyor belt 6 into the tray 3, and is located directly below this protruding portion at the same horizontal level as the tray 3. Banknote feeding guide plate (hereinafter referred to as guide plate) 7
A movable body 10 including a touch roller 9 pivotally supported via a bracket 8 is disposed at the lower left end of the movable body 10. Reference numeral 9a denotes a rotating shaft of the touch roller 9, which is located directly below the upper discharge roller 5b and projects slightly above the upper surface of the guide plate 7.

Further, a seesaw arm 12 that freely rotates independently of the roller 6b is attached to the roller shaft 11 of the lower discharge roller 6b, and the left end portion of the seesaw arm 12 is fixed to the bracket 8.

Furthermore, a gear 13 and an eccentric cam plate 14, which similarly rotate separately from the roller 6b, are attached to the roller shaft 11 so that both 13 and 14 rotate together, and a rotating shaft parallel to the roller shaft 11. 15 is supported on the right side in the drawing, a gear 16 and an eccentric cam plate 17 are fixed to this, and both gears 13
A drive shaft 19 having gears 18 that mesh with each other is disposed between and 16.

The eccentric cam plates 14 and 17 are designed so that their long diameter parts always rotate while maintaining a rotational phase of 180°, and the guide plate 7 is placed on the cam plate 14 with its right end under pressure by the force of the tension spring 20. and seesaw arm 1
2 is placed and pressed against the cam plate 17 by the force of the spring 21, which pulls the cam floor 12a at the right end thereof.

In normal use, the movable body 10 is lowered as shown in FIG. They are stacked across the guide plate 7, and the customer takes them out.

However, if the sensor 4 continues to detect the banknotes C on the tray 3 because the customer forgets to take them out, an input is given to the drive shaft 19 after a certain period of time, and the gears 18 and 13, 16 mesh with each other. The cam plates 14, 17 are each rotated half a turn.

This is the state shown in FIG. 2. Half a rotation of the cam plate 17 causes the seesaw arm 12 to rotate, raising the touch roller 9 and the left end of the guide plate 7, and a half rotation of the cam plate 14 causes the right end of the guide plate 7 to move upward. section is raised, the guide plate 7 rises substantially horizontally and contacts the belt 5a of the upper conveyor belt 5, the touch roller 9 also contacts the lower side of the discharge roller 5b, and the banknote C
is caught in the middle.

Therefore, by driving the upper and lower transport belt conveyors 5 and 6 in the reverse direction in the collection direction, the banknotes C receive the running force of the belt 5a and the rotational force of the touch roller 9 that rotates following the discharge roller 5b, and are pulled toward the right side in the drawing. , it is taken in between the upper and lower conveyor belt conveyors 5 and 6 and collected. In this case, at least the part of the banknote C that rests on the guide plate 7 is supported and pushed up by this plate, and is also sandwiched between the guide plate 7 and the belt 5a, so that the banknote C is pushed up at its right end (rear (end) Smoothly taken in between belt conveyors 5 and 6 from C1.

Note that the conveyor belt conveyors 5 and 6 may be driven in reverse at the same time as the drive shaft 19. Alternatively, a continuous rotational force may be applied to the drive shaft 19, and the banknotes C may be collected one by one while the movable body 10 is continuously raised and lowered between the positions shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

As is clear from the above explanation, this invention has successfully achieved its intended purpose.
