Thereby, the automatic receiving and delivering operation of sheets of paper money can be carried out without hindrance.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (a) Field of the Invention The present invention is directed to automatic deposit payments used in banking, for example, in which deposited and withdrawn banknotes are once pooled, and the accumulated banknotes are dispensed in response to a withdrawal command. The present invention relates to a paper sheet processing device, and particularly to a mechanism for feeding out banknotes stacked in a flat stack cartridge.

(B) Background of the Invention In order to perform deposits and withdrawals using a single device, the automatic deposit disbursement bank of the above example accumulates deposited banknotes in a store section and stores them in response to a withdrawal command. It has a recycling structure that dispenses the appropriate number of banknotes from the back of the pile.

Various banknote stacking systems have been devised for this purpose, but among these, one that allows banknotes to be stacked flat is to install a push-up table that can be raised and lowered in a cartridge for flat stacking, and to lower the push-up stand when stacking banknotes. By forming a falling space in the "-" direction, the banknotes fed into the J-tridge are allowed to fall and accumulate on the push-up table, and when paying out bills, the push-up table is raised and this push Generally, the stacked banknotes on the raising stand are brought into contact with a feed roller, and the bills are rotated by the feed roller.

However, in the flat stacking method described above, when a predetermined number of banknotes have been completely fed out, the following banknote may be pinched by the feeding roller of the banknote feeding unit due to various reasons such as frictional force with the preceding banknote. The banknotes often stop in a half-feeding state when they reach the point of contact with the rollers, and the jammed banknotes obstruct the next stacking and feeding of banknotes.

(c) Purpose of the Invention This invention provides a method for returning paper sheets that have stopped in the above-mentioned half-feeding state to the flat stacking section when the paper sheets are fed out from a flat stacked state and the paper sheets stopped in the above-mentioned half-feeding state are completed. The purpose is to provide a horizontal feed-out system that can be used.

(d) Summary of the Invention This invention forms a paper sheet feeding section on the upper side of the opening of the stacking section for flat stacking, and always closes this section with a gate lever. A paper sheet provided with a means for opening a sheet feeding section, and a means for preventing reverse rotation of the feeding roller of the paper sheet feeding section with the sheet feeding section opened when the sheet feeding section is completed. It is characterized by being a feed-out gate structure for a leaf processing device.

(e) Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, the sheet feeding section is opened by moving the gate lever upward, and the stacked sheets on the push-up table are sequentially fed out by the rotation of the feeding roller. When the desired number of sheets has been fed out, keep the gate lever up and rotate the feed roller in the opposite direction to remove the half-feeded paper sheets that have advanced to the position of this feed roller. Since the sheets can be returned to the stacking section and stacked again on the push-up table, the next stacking operation or feeding operation of the automatic paper sheet processing device is not hindered.

(f) Examples of the invention An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The drawings show an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to an automatic teller machine, and in FIG.
The upper end opening of the stacking section 2 serves as an entrance for banknotes, and a push-up table 3 is installed inside.

The banknotes A carried into the entrance/exit fall onto this push-up table 3 in a horizontal horizontal position and are stacked flat, and the push-up table 3 moves up and down according to the stacking area and is subsequently carried in directly below the entrance/exit. To form a certain falling space 4 that does not obstruct banknotes A.

In the upper part of the entrance/exit, feeding rollers 5 and 6 are mounted on one end and a feeding roller 7 is mounted on the other end, and these rollers are driven to rotate in a predetermined direction when feeding and feeding banknotes Δ.

Note that a nipping roller 27 is provided opposite to the feeding roller 7 so as to rotate in contact therewith.

In addition, a second
A movable plate 9 and a movable drum 1 integrated therewith are shown in the figure.
A substantially horizontal gate lever 11 is cantilevered on the movable drum 10 and covers the upper part of the entrance/exit opening. A feeding section (sheet transport feeding section) 12 is formed with an opening, and an external bill feeding path 13 consisting of guide plates 13a and 13b is connected to the bill feeding section 12.
are formed in communication.

Further, an impeller 14 is installed outside the above-mentioned feeding section 12, and the impeller 14a is configured to strike the rear end of the banknote Δ carried into the cartridge 2 through the feeding section 12 from above. .

On the other hand, on the side of the feeding roller 7, a bill feeding section (sheet feeding section) 15 is formed as an opening between the gate lever 11 and the cartridge 2.
An external banknote dispensing path 16 consisting of guides 16a and 16b is formed in communication with the banknotes.

The gate lever 11 is then) hoisted over the aforementioned times Φλ
It is pivotally connected to @lI8 and can move up and down about this, and when it is not moving, the bill dispensing section 15 is closed as shown by the solid line in Figs. 1 and 2, and when it is moving upward, it is opened. do.

On the other hand, the front banknote feeding section 12 on the rotation center side of the gate lever 11 is always open to the banknote feeding path 13.

In addition, the bill dispensing section 15 has an elastic stopper plate 1 which is curved in an arc shape with respect to the dispensing roller 7 as shown in FIG.
7 was touched from below and the banknote was sent into the doorway △
The tip of the stopper plate 17 is designed to abut against the stopper plate 17, and the lower end of the stopper plate 17 is fixed to a frame 18 on the cartridge side.

As shown in FIG. 2, on the upper surface of the gate lever 11,
A hook metal fitting 19 is installed upright, and correspondingly hangs down from a hanging plate 21 from a fixed frame 20 located directly above the gate lever, and the hook metal fitting 19 is attached to the hanging plate 21 when the gate lever is first raised (that is, when paying out banknotes). is engaged. This engagement is released when the retaining plate 21 is attracted by the solenoid 22.

Further, in order to promote engagement of the hook metal fitting 19 with the locking plate 21, the surface of the hook metal fitting that comes into contact with the locking plate is a cam surface 19a.

Further, between the fixed frame 20 and the above-mentioned movable plate 9, there is a biasing spring 23 for positioning the gate lever 11 in the downward movement position.
is pasted.

A cantilevered arm (roller support arm) 24 (not shown in FIG. 1) is dedicated from the rotating shaft 8 on the feed rollers 5 and 6 side to the intermediate position between the feed roller 7 and the feed roller 525 at its tip. is supported, and a part of the feed roller 25 protrudes slightly downward from the gate lever 11, so as not to apply running force to the banknote A arriving at or located at the viewing section.

The rotational force input to the feed roller 25 is transmitted from the above-mentioned rotating shaft 8 using a belt.

Also, like the gate lever 11, the cantilever arm 24 is kept in a downwardly moving state by a biasing spring 26 that is attached between it and the fixed frame 20.

In order to accumulate banknotes A, the push-up table 3 is lowered by an appropriate amount,
From the state where a certain falling space 4 is formed on this push-up table, the banknote A is sent through the banknote feed path 13 from the banknote feed section 12 to the entrance/exit of the cartridge 2 by the rotational force of the feed rollers 5 and 6. It's crowded.

The banknote A is guided along the lower surface of the gate lever 11, which is almost horizontal, and fed into the entrance in a horizontally horizontal position, and is stopped when its tip collides with the stopper plate 17. The rotating blade ¥i14 strikes the rear end of this banknote A.

Therefore, in addition to the gravitational fall due to the loss of running power, banknote A
In particular, the first banknote has a lowered rear end that gets in the way of feeding subsequent banknotes.
The objects fall through the falling space 4 in state A' in the figure, and are finally accumulated on the upper surface of the push-up table 3.

Such an operation is repeated every time a banknote is carried in, and the push-up table 3 gradually descends as the number of bills accumulated on the push-up table 3 increases, and continues to maintain a certain falling space 4 at the cartridge entrance/exit.

When a withdrawal command is given, the push-up table 3 rises, and the banknotes accumulated on its upper surface push up the cantilever arm 24 and then the gate lever 11 to move the banknote payout section 15 apart, and move the banknotes to the feed roller 25. The feeding roller 7 is activated, and the rotational force causes the banknotes Δ to pass through the opened banknote feeding section 15 one by one, pass between the feeding roller 7 and the nipping roller 27, and are discharged into the banknote feeding path 26. .

After the dispensing operation is completed and the required number of banknotes A are discharged to the banknote dispensing unit 26, the rotation of the dispensing roller 7 is stopped, but the next banknote a is transferred to the dispensing roller 7 as shown in FIG.
Since the gate lever 11 has entered the contact point with the clamping roller 27, the gate lever 11 is kept in the upward movement position. In other words, the hanging plate 2
1 is held in a state in which one hook metal fitting is engaged with the banknote 1, and the feeding roller 7 is rotated in the reverse direction, and the banknote a in this half-feeding state is returned to the cartridge 2 again and dropped and accumulated on the push-up table 3, Thereafter, the rotation of the feeding roller 7 is stopped, and the solenoid 22 is energized to remove one hook metal fitting from the latching plate 21 and move it downward, thereby preparing for the next accumulation operation or feeding operation.
