[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a device for discriminating and counting paper sheets input in bulk, and more particularly to a paper sheet aligning device configured to store the paper sheets with one of the front and back sides facing upward.

2. Description of the Related Art In financial institutions, the task of processing banknote bundles is to identify each banknote one by one and seal the banknote bundles that have been counted to a predetermined number.

Generally, a banknote counting device is used in such operations to determine the authenticity of banknotes and to count the number of banknotes.

However, since the front and back of the banknotes in a bundle of a predetermined number of banknotes formed by such discrimination and counting are uneven, it is usually necessary to seal the banknotes by aligning the front and back.

Therefore, when sealing such a predetermined number of banknote bundles, it is desirable that the front and back sides of the banknotes in the banknote bundle are aligned.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, the configuration was as shown in the side view of a conventional bill counting device in FIG. 3.

As shown in FIG.
A is provided, and when the banknotes 8 are inserted all at once, the front end of the banknote 8 is held by the stopper 2A, and the banknote 8 is temporarily stopped with the rear end protruding from the input slot 2.

When it is confirmed that the sheet 8 has been inserted in this state, the stopper 2A is retracted from the input port 2.

Therefore, first, the banknote 8 is held and transferred by the conveyor B1 and rollers R1 and R2, and the transfer is stopped when the leading end contacts the banknote stop guide plate 2C.

Next, the press plate 2B moves forward in the direction of arrow A to bring the banknote 8 into contact with the feed roller R7, and the banknote 8 is divided into one sheet by rotation of the feed roller R7, the separate roller R8, and the feed roller R3. It is transferred to the discrimination section 9 by R5.

Authenticity is discriminated in the discrimination section 9, and if it is discriminated as genuine, the number of sheets is counted.Furthermore, the sheets are held by conveyors B6 and B7 and transported as shown by the arrow, and the rollers 5 are driven to rotate. The banknotes are discharged onto the tray 6 by the holder 6 and stacked like banknotes 8'.

Moreover, the banknotes 8 that are determined to be fake by the determination unit 9 are designed to be returned to a return slot (not shown).

Therefore, the banknotes 8 inserted into the input slot 2 all at once
The banknotes 8 are fed out one by one and sent to the discrimination section 9, and the banknotes 8 that have been discriminated by the discrimination section 9 are discharged and stacked on the tray 6.

Furthermore, the number of banknotes 8 fed into the slot 2 is stopped when the counted number reaches a set number, and the receiving tray 6 is configured to always have a predetermined number of banknotes 8 loaded thereon. has been done.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in such a configuration, since the banknotes 8' loaded on the tray are not aligned so that the front and back sides are the same, it is necessary to
You must check the front and back of each sheet and make sure the front and back are aligned.

Since such confirmation of the front and back sides is performed manually, there is a problem in that the sealing operation requires a large number of man-hours.

[Means for solving problems]

This problem can be solved according to the present invention by an input port for inserting paper sheets, a discrimination section for discriminating the input paper sheets, and a discrimination section for discriminating the front and back sides of the paper sheets. a gate for distributing the paper into the two transfer paths; a reversing mechanism disposed at the tip of one of the two transfer paths and for reversing the front and back sides of the sheet; and the paper discharged from the reversing mechanism and the other of the two transfer paths. The reversing mechanism includes an impeller and a roller, and the reversing mechanism includes a tray for storing the leaves with the top side aligned with either the front or the back. The problem is solved by a paper sheet leveling device characterized in that it is configured to rotate in opposing contact so as to nip and send out the sheets.

With this configuration, the above-mentioned problems are solved.

[Effect]

In other words, the gate is driven based on the discrimination between the front and back sides of the paper sheet, which is discriminated by the discrimination section, and the transfer paths are divided according to the front and back sides. A reversing mechanism consisting of a wheel and rollers is used to turn the paper sheets upside down and eject them.The paper sheets transferred by the other transfer path are ejected as they are, and all the paper sheets loaded on the tray are turned upside down. are arranged so that their orientations are in a predetermined direction.

Therefore, unlike the conventional method, it is not necessary to manually align the front and back sides of the paper sheets stacked on the tray, and the stacked paper sheets can be sealed as they are.

〔Example〕

The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view of an embodiment of the present invention. The same reference numerals indicate the same objects throughout the figures.

As shown in FIG. 2, the conveyors B2 and B3 that transport banknotes 8 sent out from the validator 9 have a gate 7A at the center, and an impeller 3 and a roller 4 at the tip.
Further, a reversing mechanism consisting of gate 7 is provided.
Conveyors B4 and B5 are provided to transport banknotes 8 sorted by A, and the rest of the structure is the same as described above.

With this configuration, the banknote 8 can be transferred as follows based on the front/back judgment output signal of the discrimination unit 9.

If the result of the determination is "head", the gate 7A is moved to the illustrated position by operating a rotary magnet (not shown) using the determination output signal.

Therefore, the banknotes 8 sent out from the discrimination section 9 are held and transferred by conveyors B2 and B3, and then transferred by rollers R6 along the lower surface of the gate 7A. As a result, the banknotes 8 are held between the conveyors B4 and B5, and are discharged to the receiving tray 6 via the rollers 5.

Further, if the result of the determination is "tails", the gate 7A is rotated in the direction of the arrow around the pin 7B by the determination output signal. Therefore, the banknotes 8 sent out from the discrimination section 9 are held between conveyors B2 and B3, and
The roller 4 is transferred and passes through the upper surface of the cage 7A.
and the impeller 3 to a reversing mechanism.

As a result of this feeding, the tip of the banknote 8 is pinched by the impeller 3 and rotated, so that the "back" of the banknote becomes the "front"
It is then turned over and dropped onto the saucer 6.

The above explanation deals with the case where the "front" side is aligned with the top surface, but when the top surface is aligned with the "back side", the same alignment can be achieved by driving the gate 7A in the opposite direction.

In addition, as shown in Figure 1, such a configuration
On the front side of the housing 1, an input slot 2 into which a bundle of banknotes is inserted from the direction of arrow A, and a tray 6 on which banknotes 8 are loaded are arranged. It can be formed by disposing a roller 5 and a discriminating section 9 therein.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, according to the present invention, even if the banknotes 8 inserted into the input slot 2 have a mixed orientation of "front" and "back", the orientation of the banknotes 8 discharged and stacked on the tray 6 is fixed. It can be aligned to either the "front" or "back" side.

Therefore, when sealing banknotes as in the past, it is no longer necessary to manually check the front and back of each banknote and align them.Since all of the verification, counting, and side-alignment are performed, the banknotes discharged and loaded into the tray are It can be sealed immediately.

As a result, the number of man-hours required for sealing banknotes can be reduced, which has a great practical effect.
