Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a stacker device in a sheet counting machine, and in particular, to a stacker device that allows the stacker plate to be opened and closed freely and to reduce the overall shape of the stacker plate when not in operation. Concerning new improvements.

b. Prior art Various types of stacker devices for this type of sheet counting machine I have been proposed and adopted in the past, but to describe a typical configuration among them, there is one that is not particularly disclosed in the literature. However, the ones shown in Figures 6 to 9 can be mentioned.

First, the configuration shown in FIG. 6 is a configuration diagram showing the overall configuration, and what is indicated by reference numeral 1 is paper sheets stacked on the hopper 2, and the upper part of the hopper 2. At this position, a hopper auxiliary plate 5, which is removably attached to the main body 3 with a nut 4, is attached, and has an approximately L-shaped overall shape.

At the lower position of the hopper 2 in the main body 3,
A feeding roller 6 and an auxiliary feed roller 7 are rotatably provided, and a part of the circumferential surface of the auxiliary feed roller 27 is
It can pass through a through hole (not shown) formed in the hopper 2 and come into contact with the back surface of the sheet 1 on the hopper 2 .

The feed roller 6 is provided with a separation roller 3 and a guide roller 9, and is also provided with a guide member 10 extending downward along the outer periphery of the separation roller 8.

At the lower end position of this guide member 1o, an impeller 11 having blades 11a is rotatably provided, and adjacent to this impeller 11, a stacker plate 12 is provided fixedly to the main body 3. The sheet alignment section 12a and separation section 12b on the stacker plate 12 protrude outward from the outer shape of the main body 3 by a distance of one minute.

Furthermore, the above-mentioned feed roller 6, auxiliary feed roller 7, impeller 11, etc. are configured to be operated in conjunction with each other by a pivot motor 13 provided on the bottom portion 6a within the main body 6.

Therefore, by the feeding roller 6 and the separating roller S,
The paper sheets 1 fed one by one are successively fed onto the stacker plate 12 by the impeller 11 via the guide member 1o, as shown in No. 61 and FIG. 7.

Further, the configurations shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 are modifications of the conventional configuration, and in the case of FIG. 7, the stacker plate 12 is configured to be slidable in the direction of arrow A, and the Sliding motion is obtained through a dynamic holding mechanism.

Father, the configuration shown in FIG.
This configuration allows only 2a to be bent.

To address the problems that the C0 invention aims to address, the stacker device in the conventional sheet counting machine is constructed as described above, and therefore has various problems as described below.

(1) First, in the case of the configuration shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the stacker plate is fixed to the main body and protrudes outward from the external dimensions of the main body, so the overall shape including the main body and the stacker plate is However, the outer dimensions of the main body were larger than that of the main body, and the space efficiency during packaging and storage became poor.

Furthermore, not only the space efficiency deteriorates, but also the cost increase due to the aforementioned wasted space has become a major problem.

(2) Also, in the case of the configuration shown in Fig. 81, the stacker plate must be slidably held via a complicated sliding holding mechanism, and the mechanism is extremely complicated, so it is difficult to achieve cost reduction. This was a major obstacle to lowering product prices.

(3) Furthermore, in the case of the configuration shown in Fig. 9, only the alignment portion of the stacker plate is bendable, so the amount of protrusion from the external dimensions of the main body is as shown in Figs. 6 and 7. It was the same as the configuration shown in the figure and had the same space 4 as described above.

The present invention has been made with the aim of solving the above-mentioned problems, and in particular, the stacker plate can be freely opened and closed.
In this case, the purpose is to install a stacker device in a sheet counting machine in which part or all of the stacker plate is housed within the main body.

A paper sheet counting machine and a two-stage stanker station according to the present invention handle a large number of paper sheets stacked and thrown into a hopper by a feed roller provided in the main body. and a separating roller that sends out the paper sheets one by one through a paper sheet downward, and after counting the number of sheets, stacks the paper sheets on a stacker plate, wherein the stacker plate has a substantially L-shape as a whole; One end of the stacker plate is rotatably supported, and the stacker plate can be placed in an open state during counting and closed during storage, and in the closed state, part or all of the stacker plate is housed in the front main body.

00 Function In the stacker device in the paper sheet counting machine according to the present invention, one end of the stacker plate is pivotally supported, so that it can be opened and closed freely. is held, and in the open state, the aligning portion of the stacker plate protrudes outside the main body, making it possible to stack and hold paper sheets.

Therefore, in the closed state, the stacker plate only partially protrudes outside the external dimensions of the main body, or is completely contained, so the space required for packaging is reduced, and when a large amount of stock or one piece is to be stored. Overall, extremely large space savings can be achieved.

f. Practical Example Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a stacker device in a sheet counting machine according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

The same or equivalent parts as in the conventional example will be described using the same reference numerals.

Figures 1 to 5 show the stunker device in the paper sheet counting machine according to the present invention. 4 is a configuration diagram showing the state in which the stacker plate is opened and closed, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the main part of FIG. 1.

A separation roller holder 15 having a separation roller 8 and a guide roller 9 is disposed on the back side of the feed roller 6, and is attached to the main body 3.
The separation roller 8 is held in the holding member 15 provided on the separation roller holder 13 even if it is thrown open and closed in the direction of the arrow A via the shaft support 14 provided on the separation roller holder 13. A separation roller shaft 8a is held for this purpose.

A rotating screw body 17, which is rotatably thrown on the separation roller holder 13 and integrally connected to the dial 16, is screwed into a connecting portion j5a formed to protrude upward from a part of the holding member 15. The holding member 15 is held by a shaft support 18 which is fixed to the separation roller holder 13 and is biased by a spring 18a.
By rotating the rotary screw body 17 via the rotating screw body 17, the separation roller shaft 8a moves slightly in the direction of arrow B, and the relative pressure 4 (gap) between the separation roller 8 and the feeding roller 6 can be adjusted. The guide roller 9 is provided on this shaft support 18 so as to be rotatable and transmittable, and is in contact with the feeding roller 6.

Therefore, the dial 16 and the rotary screw body 17 constitute a relative distance variable means 2o that varies the above-mentioned relative distance.

Further, the axial direction of the separation roller @8a of the separation roller 8 is the same as the feed-out roller l! of the feed-out roller 6 described above. 3I1
The separation rollers 8 are arranged in all directions perpendicular to the axial direction of the roller 6a, and as shown in FIG.
They are held in an overlapping state within a pair of grooves (not shown) formed on the circumferential surface.

Further, below the feed roller 6, a pair of paper feed rollers 2) and 22 are disposed in a rotatable manner in contact with each other, and below each of the rollers 21 and 22, A pair of impellers 11 (only 10,000 are shown in the drawing) arranged in parallel in the lateral direction and having blades 11a are provided so as to rotate freely. This impeller 11vc is sent through 10 and 10a to 100.

The aforementioned auxiliary feed roller 7, feed roller 6, paper feed rollers 21 and 22, and impeller 11 are connected and driven by a drive motor 28 mounted on the bottom 3a inside the main body 6. It is configured.

On the front side of the main body B in contact with the impeller 11,
The overall shape forms a -mibo L-shape: 'C alignment part j2
A and a separating portion 12b, the stanker plate 12 is configured to be freely movable in the direction of the arrow C about the shaft support 24 of the support plate 23 provided on the main body 6. Further, nine stacker sensors 27, 27a are provided on the stacker plate 12 and the alignment section 12a, respectively, and are configured to be turned on when the stacker plate 12 is circular or tin, and turned off when the stacker plate 12 is in the closed state. The stacker plate 12 has an L
A locking piece 25 in the shape of a letter is rotatably supported via a shaft support 26, and as shown in FIGS. 6 and 4, the locking piece 25 is formed at the lower part of the main body 6. It is configured to be able to be locked onto the locking portion 3d.

The stacker device in the sheet counting machine according to the present invention is constructed as described above, and its operation will be explained below.

First, in the state shown in FIG. 1, when the stunker 12 is opened as shown by the solid line, the locking piece 25 and the locking portion 6
d is released, the organizing portion 12a protrudes, and when the drive motor 28 is operated in this state, the auxiliary feed roller 7
, the feed roller 6, the paper feed rollers 21 and 22, and the impeller 11 start rotating. At the same time, paper leaf 1 on hopper 2 is below it! - are sent one by one to the payout roller 6 side by the auxiliary feed roller 7.

The paper sheet 1 sent to the feed-out row 26 side is separated by the separation roller 8
and a groove (not shown), and the feeding roller 6
After receiving the frictional separation effect between the friction surface 6b of the paper and the separation roller 8, the paper is sent to the paper feed rollers 21 and 22 side. In this case, since the separation roller 8 is disposed in a direction substantially perpendicular to the shaft portion 6a of the feed roller 6, the friction area between the outer surface of the separation roller 8 and the sheet 1 is greater than in the conventional configuration. Since it is a dog, an extremely high separation ability is exhibited, and since the paper sheets 1 come into contact with the longitudinal outer peripheral surface of the separation roller 8, damage to the paper sheets 1 can be minimized.

As described above, the fC paper sheets 1 separated one by one are optically or magnetically detected and counted by the paper sheet counting sensor 10d as they pass through the guide members 10 and 10a to 10c. 11 and fed into a stacker 12 in a vertically aligned manner.

Next, when the sheet counting operation is finished and the stacker plate 12 is stored in the main body 6, when the stacker plate 12 is inserted into the main body 6 in the open state (during counting) shown in FIG. The stacker plate 12 changes from the state shown in FIG. 3 to the state shown in FIG. The state (when stored) is completed. Helmet, this 4 @ stacker board 1
2 may be constructed so that a part thereof protrudes outside the main body 6 instead of being entirely housed within the main body 6.

The stacker sensors 27 and 27a are connected to a circuit (not shown) for controlling the drive of the drive motor 13, and when the stacker plate 12 is in an open state as shown in FIG. As is clear from FIG. 1, the stacker sensors 27 and 27a are placed in an upright position facing each other along the optical axis, so that they are in the on state and enable automatic start when the paper sheet 1 is taken out.

Furthermore, when the stacker plate 12 is in the closed state as shown in FIG. 4, the guide member 10a enters between the supports 27a of the stacker sensor 27, as is clear from FIG. For example, even if paper sheet 1 is placed in hopper 2 in this state, the auto-start state will not occur.

Q: What is the opening/closing structure of the stacker plate 12 in this embodiment?
- This is an example, and it goes without saying that even slight changes in shape are within the scope of the present invention.

g0 Effects of the Invention Since the stacker device of the paper sheet counting machine according to the present invention is configured as described above, it can produce the following consistent effects.

(1) The stacker plate can be completely accommodated within the external dimensions of the main body, or can be accommodated with only a portion protruding, and has a structure that does not protrude into the external dimensions.
The overall external dimensions can be significantly reduced.
