Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a handling device for depositing and withdrawing paper sheets, such as banknotes, and is mainly directed to banknote circulation warriors and dispensing devices. .

(Prior art) A conventional handling device transports banknotes inserted through a deposit/withdrawal slot via a transport path and stores them at a predetermined storage location (filling storage, ten thousand yen storage, etc.).
The banknotes are stored in a 1,000 yen bank, 5,000 yen bank, a reject bank, etc.), or when withdrawing money, the banknotes are extracted from the bank and discharged from the deposit/withdrawal port via the conveyance path.

Incidentally, a conveyance abnormality (hereinafter also referred to as "jam") such as jamming of banknotes may occur in the conveyance path of the handling device, and smooth processing may be hindered.

In such cases, in conventional devices, when a jam occurs, the operator (staff) pulls out the conveyance unit including the conveyance system and the storage area from the device main body to remove the jammed banknotes and remove any remaining banknotes ( The remaining banknotes (hereinafter referred to as "residual banknotes") were removed by hand-cranking the conveyance system.

In this case, in order to ensure the safety of the operator's removal work, it is necessary to issue a command to prohibit normal operation to the transport system by operating a switch or the like, or to shut off the power to the transport system.

On the other hand, when an operator performs maintenance services other than jam removal, it is necessary to ensure that the conveyance unit that has been pulled out operates in the same state as when the conveyance unit is in the main body of the apparatus. Interlock type switches are used as each of the above-mentioned switches.

However, when jam removal is performed by hand-cranking the conveyance system, one interlock switch is sufficient to ensure operator safety, but the jam removal is complicated and tedious, and processing efficiency is poor.

Further, even if an attempt is made to drive the conveyance system at a low speed in order to improve the efficiency of jam disposal and to improve the safety during jam disposal, the configuration of the conventional device is no longer able to cope with the problem.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As mentioned above, the conventional device has poor efficiency in handling jams.
Furthermore, there is a problem in ensuring the safety of the operator.
