Bill counter with band sealing}

The present invention relates to a combined dual-use banknote counter having a function of automatically counting and binding banknotes traded at the time of deposit and withdrawal of a deposit at a bank of a financial institution such as a bank.

One type of banknote counter currently being used at the window of a financial institution is well described in the drawings of Korean Utility Model Publication, Publication No. 93-5756.

The disclosed counter puts the bill to be counted at the entrance side, and a pair of rollers opposed to each other pulls the bills one by one and transfers them between the windmill-shaped feed vanes which are arranged later, and the feed vanes are conveyed one by one. The bills are counted by checking the rotation speed of the delivery blade as the bills are inverted and dropped onto the shout.

Since the counter of such a configuration is small in size and size, it is very convenient to store and use it at the window of a financial institution. However, there is a lack of automatic binding of the counted bills, and the counter staff still has the trouble of manually binding the counted bills.

The automatic binding device of the bill is mainly made by thermal bonding the bundle of bills, an example of such a device is known through the Republic of Korea Patent Publication, Publication No. 96-7335, Republic of Korea Utility Model Registration No. 121941 .

However, these bill binding devices are large and complex and can be conveniently used to bind banknotes manufactured by a ticketing institution, and are too large to be used with banknote counters at the window of a financial institution.

In addition, a bill counting and binding device, which is configured to transfer counted bills to a certain position and binds them, is also known, but this type of device has a size and size suitable for a ticketing institution. Inappropriate

For this reason, only banknote counters are currently used in front-line financial institution counters, and the binding of banknotes is performed manually by the person in charge at the counter. Therefore, a counter having a bill binding function is desired in order to reduce waste of time and manpower.

The present invention is to provide a combined dual-use banknote counter having a binding function without increasing the known volume to provide convenience to the window staff of the financial institution and to promote the efficiency of the work. .

In accordance with the above object of the present invention, a bill counter that transfers a sheet of paper to a blade plate wheel and guides it to a sorting plate, wherein the lower side of the sorting plate is sandwiched by a conventional bundle and supplied to a predetermined position 1 A bundle strip supply means having a pair of one-way rotating rollers is arranged so that the free end of the bundle strip is always supplied to a predetermined position, and the bundle strip supplied to a predetermined position is inserted around the alignment plate and around the bill. A bundle strip conveying means having a clip for winding and returning is arranged.

In the above configuration, the bundle band supply means is capable of moving forward and backward in the direction orthogonal to the swivel arm, with the swivel arm operated forward and backward by the output side pinion with the pair of one-way rotating rollers attached and supported at one end thereof. And a cutter and a heater attached to and disposed at a predetermined position of the slider.

In addition, the bundle belt conveying means has a sliding groove, a driving disk and a tracking groove arranged in a position corresponding to the side of the alignment plate, the sliding groove and the tracking groove is formed in the same profile so that the clip is supported at the end and the spring Guides the rod pressed in a predetermined direction according to a predetermined trajectory, and the driving disc pivotally interlocks the rod through a radial hole through which the rod is penetrated, and at the end of the tracking groove A rocking ramp formed of a flat path and a non-flat path branched in a “V” shape with the fixed shaft pressed against the spring as the same axis is arranged so as to switch between the circumferential movement and the return movement of the rod.

In addition, the non-flat path is configured to be connected to the tracking groove through a steep ramp at the end point having a lower height than the flat path, and then connected to the tracking groove via a gentle ramp, so that the clip ends the binding of the bundle and starts the return movement. At this time, the rod is moved slightly in the axial direction of the rod, thereby deviating from the winding range of the bundle band.

Fig. 1 is a side cross-sectional view showing the structure of the present invention, wherein the banknote binder according to the present invention is a banknote C in which a roller assembly 4 is placed and placed on the inlet side of the chute 2 to which the banknote C is delivered. It is to be fed to the chute (2) in sequential order, and the bill (C) fed in this way is between the gap of the blade plate (8) attached spirally to the outer circumference by the rotation of the blade plate wheel (6) The mechanism to be inserted and inverted and transferred to the slope 10 to be deposited on the alignment plate 12 is the same as that of a conventional banknote counter, but a bundle band supply means 14 is provided below the slope 10. It is arrange | positioned, It is set as the structure which further provided the bundle | strap belt conveyance means 16 around the alignment plate 12. As shown in FIG.

Bundle band supply means 140 is a swivel arm 146 formed on one side of the rack gear 144 meshing with the output side pinion 142 of the stationary motor installed on the fixed base 140, the swivel arm 146 is A guide band 148 is provided to guide the reciprocating movement to a predetermined trajectory, and at one end of the swivel arm 146 facing the slope 10, a bundle band B released from the bundle band drum 18 is provided. A pair of one-way rotating rollers 148 to hold the free end of the arrangement is arranged and the cutter 150 and the heater 152 are arranged in a direction orthogonal to the traveling direction of the swivel arm 146. It is. The cutter 150 is integrally attached to the slider 156 which is engaged with the output pinion 154 of the stationary spindle motor together with the heater 148 and reciprocally interlocked.

The bundle band conveying means 16 is a sliding groove 160 formed in a predetermined trajectory in the casing 20 around the alignment plate 12 and extends to the outside through the sliding groove 160 to the outside. Clip 162, which takes over (B) from the one-way rotary roller 148, and the drive disk 164 is disposed in the casing 20 to link the clip 162 to move the sliding groove 160. )

The drive disk 164 includes a long hole 166 extending radially to trigger the positional movement of the clip 162, the support hole 166 to support the clip 162 as shown in FIG. The main rod 168 is axially supported by the slide 170 via the bearing 170. In addition, the end of the rod 168 opposite the end to which the clip 162 is attached is suppressed by the spring 172 on the rear surface side of the driving disc 164 so that the tracking groove 174 always located opposite to the driving disc 164. ) Is fitted. The tracking groove 174 is made of the same profile as the sliding groove 160.

In the illustrated configuration, the driving disc 164 is driven in the forward and reverse direction in connection with the output terminal 176 of the stationary motor separately arranged, and the rod 168 is also rotated by the rotational movement at this time, but the rod 168 is Since the sliding groove 160 and the tracking groove 174 are constrained to be moved on a predetermined trajectory, the vehicle is moved on the long hole 166 during the turning, and the track groove 160 and the tracking groove 174 are located on the track defined by the sliding groove 160 and the tracking groove 174. You will do a compliant turning movement.

In addition, the power transmission between the drive disk 164 and the output terminal 176 of the stationary motor can be made by gear connection, belt connection, friction contact method and the like.

The clip 162 is axially supported so as to be freely rotatable at the end of the rod 168 while retaining the movable piece 180 which is suction-interlocked by the solenoid 178 as shown in FIG. 3. ) Is adsorbed by the solenoid 178, the bundle band (B) is bitten by the clip 162, and is brought out.

On the contrary, when the magnetic force of the solenoid 178 is extinguished, the movable piece 180 is placed in the open position by receiving the elasticity of the spring 182.

The profile of the tracking groove 174 for guiding the rod 168 is the same as that of the sliding groove 160, but there is a slight difference in the configuration in which the swing lamp 1740 is pivotally arranged at the end. The swing lamp 1740 has a shape of “V” shape by combining one end of the flat path 1742 and the non-flat path 1744 at the same point, and the swing angle of the swing lamp 1740 is extended by a stopper 1746 extending to one side. It is restricted, and it pivots at the same angle with the fixed shaft 1748 attached to the point merged as shown in FIG. In addition, a seat left spring 1750 is installed at the fixed shaft 1748, which acts to suppress the flat path 1742 of the swing lamp 1740 continuously to the tracking groove 174.

As shown in FIG. 6, the flat path 1742 is formed as a flat surface with no change in the surface of the passage, except that the point merged with the non flat path 1744 is formed as an end point 1702 lowered to a slightly lower height. . In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the non-planar path 1744 is connected to the tracking groove 174 through the steep ramp 1754 through the steep ramp 1754 to the lower surface 1756 and again through the gentle slope path 1758. It is composed.

In the present invention device of the above-described configuration, the banknote C is bound by the following action.

The clip 162 is initially placed in a position opposite to the one-way rotating roller 148 of the swivel arm 146 as shown in FIG. At this time, as the movable piece 180 is opened, the free end of the bundle strip B enters between the clips 162.

In this state, the clip 162 bites the bundle B according to an external command. Here, the external command means, for example, that the device user presses a bill binding button or the like provided in the counter.

As soon as the clip 162 snaps the bundle band B in accordance with an external command, the drive disc 164 starts to rotate, resulting in the movement of the rod 168 resulting in the clip 162 of FIG. 8A. As shown in the illustration, it is positioned at the end of the sliding groove 160, and the bundle strip B extends around the bill C placed on the alignment plate 12.

When the clip 162 stops moving to the end of the sliding groove 160, the forward movement of the swivel arm 146 is started. As shown in FIG. 8B, a part of the bundle band B is the clip 162,162. In this position, the slider 156 is moved forward again, and the heater 152 contacts the end of the bundle band B overlapped with each other. In this case, the heater 152 is heated for a predetermined time when the heater 152 is in contact with the bundle (B) to perform a thermal bonding of the bundle (B). Next, when the slider 156 is driven forward a little further, the bundle band B in contact with the cutter 150 is cut, and one step of binding the banknote C ends.

Next, the slider 156 moves backward to return the cutter 150 and the heater 152 to their original positions, and the swivel arm 146 also moves backward to enter the casing 20.

Subsequently, the reverse rotation of the driving disc 164 is started to start the return movement of the rod 168. Since the return movement of the rod 168 starts at the end point 1702 lower than the flat road 1742 as shown in FIG. 6, the rod 168 does not go toward the flat road 1742 that has been passed through, and moves on the non-flat road 1744. While applying the force to the rocking lamp (1740) to make the fixed shaft (1748) to the point. As a result, the swing lamp 1740 swings against the seat spring 1750 such that the end of the non-flat path 1744 coincides with the tracking groove 174 while the rod 168 during the return movement is moved from the non-flat path 1744. Take the steep ramp 1754 to the lower surface 1756, in which the elastic force of the spring 172 shown in Figure 2 acts so that the rod 168 is positioned in its axial direction as indicated by the arrow. Will move.

By the axial movement of the rod 168, the clip 162 is released from the inside of the bundle band (B) to the outside, after which the transfer to the tracking groove 174 along the gentle ramp 1758 is returned to It will be in the same state as shown in Fig. 1 and will end one stroke.

In the apparatus of the present invention having such a configuration, it is preferable that the bill C loaded on the alignment plate 12 is pressed before being bound and bent in a side U shape. Bending of the banknote C can be performed by employing a conventionally known means. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, a pair of arc plates 186 that press both sides of the banknote C can be cased ( The bill (C) can be bent into a lateral U shape before binding through a configuration in which it is disposed in front of the alignment plate 12 and connected to the gear so as to be rotated forward and backward by a power source.

As described above, when the bill C is bent in a U shape, a space is formed inside the clip C, so that the clip 162 can be relaxed.

In addition, the forward backward of the swivel arm 146, the forward and reverse rotation of the drive disk 164, the forward backward movement of the slider 156 and the on-off operation of the solenoid 178 should be performed in an organic relationship with each other. Since the relationship can be easily implemented by inputting an electrical signal obtained by arranging a micro switch or a proximity sensor to an element element to a control means, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As described above, the apparatus of the present invention enables the binding of counted bills into a bundle without significantly increasing the size and size of the bill counter used at the window of a financial institution, thereby significantly reducing the hand of the window worker. In addition, it has a great effect on task automation.
