Yes. Specifically, the push-out member 44 has a retracted position (see FIG. 3) where the banknote is retracted from the banknote when the banknote is stacked in the storage space 40p of the stacking section 40, and the stacking section 40 is located more than the retracted position. It reciprocates between an extrusion position (see FIG. 4) that is close to the opening. As shown in FIG. 3, the push-out member 44 waits at the retracted position when banknotes are stacked on the stacking unit 40, and after the banknotes are stored in the storage space 40 p of the stacking unit 40, the push-out member When 44 moves from the retracted position to the push-out position, as shown in FIG. 4, the push-out member 44 pushes out bills stored in the storage space 40p toward the opening. Thereafter, the pushing member 44 returns from the pushing position (see FIG. 4) to the retracted position (see FIG. 3). Such reciprocating movement of the pushing member 44 is performed by the pushing member driving mechanism 45 as described above.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 to 10, the pushing member 44 includes a front stage portion 44a made of a plate-like member bent into a “U” shape at about 120 °, and a rear stage portion firmly attached to the front stage portion 44a. 44b, and a rear surface portion 44b is provided with an extruding surface 44c that contacts the banknote stored in the storage space 40p and pushes the banknote toward the opening. The front portion 44a constitutes a part of the bottom surface and side surface of the accommodation space 40p when in the retracted position as shown in FIG. 6, and when the front portion 44a is moved to the pushing position, it is shown in FIG. As shown, the bottom plate 40b and the back side of the side wall 40d are provided. Here, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the front stage portion 44a has a comb-tooth shape that meshes with the back surface of the bottom plate 40b. For this reason, the banknote accommodated in the accommodation space 40p enters into the gap between the bottom plate 40b and the front stage portion 44a constituting the accommodation space 40p, and troubles such as banknote jamming occur in the second stacking unit 40. Can be prevented.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the rear portion 44b of the pushing member 44 is fixed to the rear portion of the front portion 44a. When the rear stage portion 44b is at the retracted position shown in FIG. 6, the pushing surface 44c provided on the rear stage portion 44b constitutes a part of the back surface of the accommodation space 40p. On the other hand, when the rear stage portion 44b moves to the pushing position, it moves into the accommodation space 40p as shown in FIG. Here, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the rear stage portion 44 b has a comb-teeth shape that meshes with the side wall 40 c on the back side. For this reason, the banknote accommodated in the accommodation space 40p enters into the gap between the rear side wall 40c and the rear stage portion 44b constituting the accommodation space 40p, and the second stacking unit 40 clogs the banknote. It is possible to prevent troubles from occurring.

  As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the pushing member driving mechanism 45 is formed of, for example, a motor, and rotates the first cam 46 having a substantially rectangular shape around a shaft 46a. The first cam 46 has a projection 46b. Further, a substantially rod-shaped second cam 47 that connects the first cam 46 and the front stage portion 44a of the pushing member 44 is provided, and the second cam 47 is provided with a shaft 47a provided at the center portion thereof. Rotate around the center. One end 47 c of the second cam 47 is rotatably attached to the back surface of the front stage portion 44 a, while an elongated through hole 47 b extending along the second cam 47 is formed at the other end of the second cam 47. Has been. A protrusion 46b of the first cam 46 is fitted in the through hole 47b. When the first cam 46 rotates about the shaft 46a, the protrusion 46b of the first cam 46 becomes an elongated through hole 47b. By reciprocating the inside, the second cam 47 swings about the shaft 47a. Further, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a guide rail 48 that guides the front-stage portion 44 a and the rear-stage portion 44 b of the pushing member 44 in a certain direction (the left-right direction in FIGS. 8 and 9) is the second stacking portion 40. Is installed.

  Since the cams 46 and 47 as described above are provided between the push member driving mechanism 45 and the push member 44, the push member driving mechanism 45 moves the first cam 46 around the shaft 46a to the timepiece of FIG. When rotated around, the second cam 47 swings about the shaft 47a between the position shown in FIG. 8 and the position shown in FIG. The pushing member 44 attached to the one end 47c of the second cam 47 is also positioned along the guide rail 48 in the position shown in FIGS. 6 and 8 (retracted position) and in the position shown in FIGS. 7 and 9 (pushing position). And reciprocates between.

  Here, when the pushing member 44 is moved from the retracted position to the pushing position, the bills are clogged between the pushing plate 44 and the bottom plate 40b or the side wall 40d constituting the accommodation space 40p, and the pushing member 44 operates as described above. Even if it has stopped, the operator can take out the jammed banknote by manually returning the pushing member 44 from the pushing position to the retracted position.

  Next, operation | movement of the banknote processing machine 1 which consists of such a structure is demonstrated.

  First, a plurality of banknotes are placed on the hopper 11 in a stacked state by an operator. The banknotes stored in the hopper 11 are fed one by one into the housing 92 of the banknote handling machine 1 by the banknote feeding device 10. The banknotes taken into the housing 92 are transported by the transport unit 20. Specifically, the bills taken into the housing 92 are transported in the order of the upper transport mechanism 22, the intermediate transport mechanism 26, and the lower transport mechanism 24.

  When the banknote is transported by the upper transport mechanism 22, this banknote is detected by the identification unit 28 for damage, authenticity, denomination, direction, front and back, transport state, and the like. Here, banknotes that could not be identified by the identification unit 28 (for example, damaged banknotes that were damaged banknotes) or accumulated because they were identified but were in an abnormally conveyed state (for example, skewed). The banknotes excluded from the objects to be stored in the units 30 and 40 are determined as “reject banknotes” and are to be sent to the reject unit 50. On the other hand, banknotes that are determined to be normal by satisfying a predetermined condition set in advance in the identification unit 28 are targets to be accommodated in the stacking units 30 and 40.

  Thereafter, the bill is sent from the upper transport mechanism 22 to the lower transport mechanism 24 through the intermediate transport mechanism 26. Of the banknotes transported by the lower transport mechanism 24, normal banknotes are branched from the lower transport mechanism 24 by the branch members 60 and 62 and sent to the stacking units 30 and 40. On the other hand, when the recognition result by the identification part 28 of a certain banknote conveyed in the upper conveyance mechanism 22 is "reject banknote", this banknote is sent to the rejection part 50.

The banknotes sent from the lower transport mechanism 24 to the stacking units 30 and 40 are stored in a stacked state in the storage spaces 30p and 40p.
And the bundle | flux of the banknote accommodated in accommodation space 30p, 40p of each stacking part 30 and 40 is extruded toward the opening of each stacking part 30 and 40 by the extrusion member 44. FIG. Specifically, the control unit 90 controls the pushing member driving mechanism 45, and the pushing member driving mechanism 45 moves the pushing member 44 between the retracted position as shown in FIG. 3 and the pushing position as shown in FIG. By reciprocating, the bundle of banknotes is pushed out by the pushing member 44.

  Here, various methods are mentioned as a control method of the pushing member driving mechanism 45 by the control unit 90. Hereinafter, these control methods will be described in order.

  In the first control method, the control unit 90 detects the second stacking unit 40 when the sensor 77 detects that a preset number of banknotes have been sent to the second stacking unit 40, for example. The pushing member drive mechanism 45 is controlled such that the pushing member 44 pushes out the banknote accommodated in the accommodation space 40p toward the opening of the stacking unit 40. According to such a first control method, the banknotes stored in the storage space 40p are pushed out toward the opening for each predetermined number of bundles set in advance. Can be taken out from the second stacking unit 40 every time. In the first control method, even when a predetermined number of banknotes are sent to the first stacking unit 30 instead of the second stacking unit 40, the first stacking unit 30 is used. By detecting the number of banknotes sent to the sensor 76 by the sensor 76, the pushing member is similarly controlled.

  At this time, the first stacking unit 30 and the second stacking unit 40 are configured to receive banknotes of the same denomination, and a preset number of banknotes are stored in the first stacking unit 30 or If the number of stored bills in the first stacking unit 30 or the second stacking unit 40 reaches the maximum stored number before being sent to any of the second stacking units 40, The banknotes may be sent to other stacking units whose stored number has not reached the maximum stored number. In this case, when the sensors 76 and 77 detect that a preset number of banknotes are distributed and sent to the first stacking unit 30 and the second stacking unit 40, the stacking units 30 and 40. The extrusion members are controlled such that the extrusion members extrude the bills accommodated in the accommodation spaces 30p and 40p toward the opening.

  In the second control method, for example, when the number of banknotes stored in the second stacking unit 40 reaches the preset maximum number of sheets stored in the second stacking unit 40, the control unit 90 performs the first control. The pushing member drive mechanism 45 is controlled so that the pushing member 44 of the second stacking unit 40 pushes the banknotes housed in the housing space 40p toward the opening of the stacking unit 40. According to such a second control method, when no more banknotes can be stored in the second stacking unit 40, the banknotes stored in the storage space 40 p are at the opening of the second stacking unit 40. Since the operator pushes out the bill, the operator can take out the banknote made up of the bundle of the maximum accommodation number of the second stacking unit 40 from the stacking unit 40. In the second control method, even when the maximum number of banknotes is sent to the first stacking unit 30 instead of the second stacking unit 40, the pushing member is similarly controlled. It will be.

  In the third control method, when the sensor 77 detects that a preset number of banknotes have been sent to the second stacking unit 40, for example, the control unit 90 performs the transport unit. The conveyance of the banknote by 20 is interrupted. Thereafter, the pushing member drive mechanism 45 is controlled so that the pushing member 44 of the second stacking unit 40 pushes the banknotes stored in the receiving space 40p toward the opening of the stacking unit 40. When the sensor 81 detects that the banknote pushed out toward the opening by the pushing member 44 in the second stacking unit 40 is extracted from the stacking unit 40, the control unit 90 controls the banknote by the transport unit 20. Resume transport. According to such a third control method, the operator can take out banknotes from the second stacking unit 40 every predetermined number of bundles, and the operator can stack the banknotes into the second stacking unit. After taking out from 40, accommodation of the banknote in each stacking part 30 and 40 can be restarted automatically. In the third control method, even when a preset number of banknotes are sent to the first stacking unit 30 instead of the second stacking unit 40, the control of the pushing member is similarly performed. While being performed, the conveyance of the banknotes by the conveyance unit 20 is interrupted until the banknotes are extracted from the first stacking unit 30.

  In the fourth control method, when the sensor 77 detects that a preset number of banknotes have been sent to the second stacking unit 40, for example (see FIG. 10A). ), The control unit 90 interrupts the conveyance of banknotes by the conveyance unit 20. Thereafter, the pushing member drive mechanism 45 is controlled so that the pushing member 44 of the second stacking unit 40 pushes the banknotes stored in the receiving space 40p toward the opening of the stacking unit 40 (see FIG. 10B). And after a banknote was extruded toward opening by the extrusion member 44 in the 2nd stacking part 40, the control part 90 restarted conveyance of the banknote by the conveyance part 20, and the above-mentioned extrusion was carried out in the 2nd stacking part 40. A new bill is sent to the upper surface of the bill (see FIG. 10C). According to such a fourth control method, in the second stacking unit 40, as shown in FIG. 10C, the position of the banknotes can be shifted for every predetermined number of bundles. The banknote can be taken out from the second stacking unit 40 for each of the predetermined number of bundles. In the fourth control method, even when a predetermined number of banknotes are sent to the first stacking unit 30 instead of the second stacking unit 40, the control of the pushing member is similarly performed. In this first stacking unit 30, the position of banknotes can be shifted for every predetermined number of bundles.

  In the fifth control method, when the conveyance process of the banknotes to the stacking units 30 and 40 by the transport unit 20 is completed, the control unit 90 causes the push-out members of the stacking units 30 and 40 to be accommodated in the accommodation spaces 30p and 40p. The push-out members of the stacking units 30 and 40 are controlled so as to push out the banknotes stored in the stack toward the opening. According to such a fifth control method, the operator can take out a bundle of banknotes from the stacking units 30 and 40 after conveyance of the banknotes to the stacking units 30 and 40 is completed.

  The banknotes stored in the storage spaces 30p and 40p of the stacking units 30 and 40 can be transferred to the stacking units at a desired timing by any one of the first to fifth control methods as described above or by another control method. It will be pushed out toward the opening of 30,40.

  As described above, according to the banknote handling machine 1 of the present embodiment, banknotes stored in a stacked state in the back of the storage space 40p of the stacking unit (for example, the second stacking unit 40) are stacked by the pushing member 44. It is pushed out toward the opening of the portion 40 (front side as viewed from the operator). For this reason, an operator becomes easy to take out the banknote accommodated in the accommodation space 40p of the 2nd stacking part 40. FIG. Also, banknotes that are abnormally stacked in the second stacking unit 40, specifically, for example, banknotes stored in the second stacking unit 40 in a standing state are also directed toward the opening of the stacking unit 40. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the operator from forgetting to remove the banknote having an abnormal stacking state from the second stacking unit 40.

  Further, in the banknote handling machine 1, a plurality of stacking units are provided, and a plurality of pushing members are provided so as to correspond to the stacking units 30 and 40. For this reason, a plurality of types of banknotes can be classified and stored in the stacking units 30 and 40 according to their types, specifically, for example, by denomination.

  In addition, the banknote processing machine 1 by this invention is not limited to said aspect, A various change can be added.

  For example, the number of stacking units provided in the banknote handling machine 1 is not limited to two and may be three or more. In this case, an extruding unit composed of an extruding member and an extruding member driving mechanism is installed corresponding to each stacking unit.

  Moreover, as a stacking | stacking part, it is not limited to what accommodates a banknote in a lamination | stacking state, For example, you may come to accommodate the bundle | flux of a banknote in a standing position.

  Further, the control method of the pushing member driving mechanism 45 by the control unit 90 is not limited to the above-described one. For example, when it is determined that the banknote recognition process by the identification unit 28 and the banknote transport process to the stacking units 30 and 40 by the transport unit 20 have been completed, the control unit 90 pushes out the stacking members 30 and 40. The banknotes are pushed out by the control unit. However, when the end of the banknote identification process and the conveyance process is not confirmed, control is performed so that the banknotes are not pushed out by the pushing members of the stacking units 30 and 40. It may be.
