Description

Paper sheet storage device {PAPER SHEET RECEIVING APPARATUS}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a paper sheet storage device, and more particularly, to a paper sheet storage device for storing bills of different sizes together.

In the paper sheet storage apparatus mounted in ATM (automatic transaction apparatus) or BRU (paper recycling unit), handling of various paper is calculated | required. In general, since a plurality of types of paper are circulated and the size of the paper is not constant, the paper sheet storage device is required to accommodate the paper sheets corresponding to various sizes.

In particular, in the case of handling paper sheets overseas, paper sheets of various lengths and widths are used together in one region (for example, Euro or Chinese yuan). The need for a paper sheet storage device is high.

In response to such a request, there is a technique including a pressing plate which is configured to incline the bottom surface of the deposition storage portion of the paper sheet deposition apparatus so as to be farther away from the paper carrying side, and to move the left and right banks by depositing the carried bills. . According to this paper sheet deposition apparatus, even if papers of different sizes are loaded in the height direction, the lower ends of the papers are aligned. In addition, according to such a paper sheet deposition apparatus, the paper moves in a direction away from the loading hole by its own weight and moves in the direction of the bottom surface of the deposition storage portion. For this reason, the paper sheet stacking device can increase the number of sheets by press-in of the paper itself, and it is not necessary to control the paper sheet to be carried in so as not to interfere with the stacked paper.

[Step S15] The deposit and withdrawal processing control unit 110 is notified from the discriminating unit 180 of the discrimination result of the banknote that has passed through the transport path 140a and reached the discriminating unit 180. When the receipt and withdrawal processing control part 110 receives the notification that it is a normal banknote from the discrimination part 180, it transfers a banknote to the primary holding part 160 via the conveyance path 140b. On the other hand, when the receipt and withdrawal processing control part 110 receives the notification that it is an abnormal banknote from the discrimination part 180, it transfers a banknote to the unknown-hold holding part 130 via the conveyance path 140b. And the deposit / withdrawal processing control unit 110 proceeds to step S16 when all the inserted bank notes are normal, and proceeds to step S20 when abnormal banknotes are included in the inserted bank notes.

[Step S16] The deposit and withdrawal processing control unit 110 stores all the inserted banknotes in the primary holding unit 160.

[Step S17] The deposit and withdrawal processing control unit 110 calculates and confirms the total amount of the bills stored in the primary holding unit 160.

[Step S18] The deposit and withdrawal processing control unit 110 notifies the main control unit 11 of the total amount of bills stored. The main control unit 11 displays the total amount of money on the display device (not shown) by the display control unit 14, and accepts the operator's confirmation operation from the operation unit 13. The deposit and withdrawal processing control part 110 is notified of the result of a confirmation operation from the main control part 11, and if it is OK, it progresses to deposit secondary processing.

Therefore, the deposit processing time becomes the waiting time for the operator. And since the primary holding part 160 stores a banknote during this waiting time, a prompt and reliable storing process is calculated | required.

Next, the deposit secondary processing performed by the deposit and withdrawal processing control unit 110 of the deposit and withdrawal processing unit 100 will be described. 5 is a flowchart of the deposit secondary process. Deposit secondary processing is started by confirmation of the deposit amount of money by an operator.

[Step S31] The deposit and withdrawal processing control unit 110 moves the banknote stored in the primary holding unit 160 to the feeding unit 161.

[Step S32] The deposit and withdrawal processing control unit 110 carries out banknotes from the primary holding unit 160 one by one.

[Step S33] The deposit and withdrawal processing control unit 110 determines whether the banknotes carried out can be recycled. Recycling means using the deposited banknote as a banknote for withdrawal. With respect to the banknotes carried out, it is judged whether or not it can be recycled according to a predetermined judgment standard such as winding paper, fouling, and the like. And when it is determined that the banknotes carried out are recyclable, the deposit and withdrawal processing control unit 110 transfers the cassettes (any one of the storage 170a to the storage 170f) corresponding to the various amounts of money through the transport path 140b. It conveys and accommodates (step S34). On the other hand, when it is determined that the banknotes carried out are not recyclable, the deposit and withdrawal processing control unit 110 conveys the main bank 150a or the vertical reject 150b via the transport paths 140b and 140c to store them (step S35). ). The deposit and withdrawal processing control unit 110 ends the deposit secondary processing by storing the deposited banknote in any of the storage 170a to the storage 170f, the main reject 150a, or the vertical reject 150b. do.

The deposit and withdrawal processing control unit 110 notifies the main control unit 11 that the deposit secondary processing is completed. The main control unit 11 is notified of the end of the deposit secondary processing, and performs processing such as receipt issuance by the receipt issuing unit 18 and card ejection by the card processing unit 17.

Next, the withdrawal processing performed by the deposit and withdrawal processing control unit 110 of the deposit and withdrawal processing unit 100 will be described. 6 is a flowchart of a withdrawal process. The withdrawal process is started based on the withdrawal instruction by the operator.

[Step S41] The deposit and withdrawal processing control unit 110 conveys the bills to the discriminating unit 180 from various money cassettes (storage 170a to storage 170f) via the conveyance path 140c.

[Step S42] The deposit and withdrawal processing control unit 110 discriminates the authenticity of the bills by the discriminating unit 180, and stores the bills in the ejecting unit 120 when discriminating them with normal bills (step S43). On the other hand, the deposit and withdrawal processing control unit 110 discriminates the authenticity of banknotes by the discriminating unit 180, and stores the banknotes in the reject store when the banknotes are not discriminated as normal banknotes (step S46), The process proceeds to step S41 to withdraw another banknote.

[Step S44] The deposit and withdrawal processing control unit 110 opens the shutter of the discharge unit 120.

[Step S45] The deposit and withdrawal processing control unit 110 waits for the banknote to exit. And the deposit / withdrawal processing control part 110 closes a shutter and complete | finishes a withdrawal process, if it detects that a banknote escapes from the delivery part 120. FIG. On the other hand, the deposit and withdrawal processing control unit 110 closes the shutter and inserts the banknote if the banknote does not detect that the banknote is withdrawn from the dispensing unit 120 within a predetermined time (step S47), and ends the withdrawal processing.

Next, the primary holding device (primary holding unit) 30 will be described. 7 is a side cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the primary retention device according to the embodiment. The primary holding device 30 is a banknote storing device that stores banknotes. In particular, the primary holding device 30 is a banknote storing apparatus in which imports and exports of banknotes frequently occur because the banknotes are temporarily held. The primary holding device 30 has the same storage capacity as the discharge unit 120, and can store at least 200 sheets in the case of a Japanese bank note, for example.

The primary holding device 30 supports and holds a bill with the stage 41 and the movable storage wall 45. The stage 41 consists of a mounting part 41a, the suspension support part 41b, and the guide rollers 34 and 35. As shown in FIG. The stacking portion 41a is a plate-shaped member that is larger than the bills to be stored, and supports the bottom surface of the stacked bills 44 (banknotes stacked and stacked on the stage) by the surface so that the stacked banknotes 44 can be stacked. . The suspension support part 41b suspension-supports the stage 41 from the case 36. The suspension support part 41b is connected with the belt 39, and moves forward (upward) and backwards (downward) in response to the driving force of the belt 39 (arrow direction in the drawing). Therefore, the storage space 42 is reduced by advancing and enlarged by retreating. The guide rollers 34 and 35 are rollers which guide the movement of the stage 41. In addition, the guide rollers 34 and 35 are provided with the pair 34a, 34b, 35a, 35b: FIG. 11 on the left and right of the suspension support part 41b, respectively. The belt 39 is interposed between the driven roller 31 and the driven roller 38. The belt 32 spans between the driven roller 31 and the drive roller 33. The drive roller 33 is attached to the output shaft of the drive device (motor) which is not shown in figure. The drive device, the belts 32 and 39, the driven rollers 31 and 38, and the drive roller 33 constitute a drive force transmission mechanism to the stage 41. The drive device can be controlled by forward rotation and reverse rotation, and controls the moving direction of the stage 41. The drive device detects and controls the light-shielding state and the light-transmitting state of the banknote detecting line L5 connecting the sensing unit of the banknote detecting sensor (photo sensor light receiving unit) 37 and the banknote detecting sensor (photo sensor light emitting unit) 50. In addition, a drive apparatus detects and controls the movement limit of the stage 41 by the position detection sensor which is not shown in figure. The drive device may control the movement amount of the stage 41 according to the drive amount or the drive time.

The movable storage wall 45 supports the lower end of a banknote by the banknote support part 62a, 62b, 62c (FIG. 11). Thus, even if there are bills of different heights together, the bottoms of the bills are aligned and aligned. In addition, the movable storage wall 45 is capable of moving forward (rising) and retracting (falling) (in the direction of the arrow in the figure) along the floor guide 46 constituting the bottom surface of the primary holding device 30. have. The movable storage wall 45 includes a spring mounting boss 47 having a spring mounting portion 48. Between the spring mounting part 48 and the spring mounting part 51 used as a fixed end, the spring 49 is provided so that the movable storage wall 45 may be pressed along the bottom guide 46 in the forward direction. The movable storage wall 45 is made into the initial position (FIG. 7) by which the spring 49 is urged in the advance direction and the advance position was regulated by the restricting member (not shown). Although the spring 49 is a tension spring, when it functions as a pressing means which presses the movable storage wall 45 to a forward direction, elastic bodies, such as rubber | gum, can also be used besides a compression spring and a leaf spring.

The extension line L2 of the bottom guide 46 has an angle R1 with respect to the horizontal line L1. At this time, the extension line L3 of the mounting part 41a and the extension line L2 of the bottom guide 46 are orthogonal. At this time, the angle (bottom angle of inclination) R1 is less than 45 degrees, and the extension line L2 is lowered in the horizontal line L1 direction than the extension line L3. Therefore, the frictional force at the time of stacking banknotes becomes small, and problems, such as misalignment of the bottom of a banknote, do not arise easily. The primary holding device 30 realizes desirable storage of bank notes when the angle R1 forms an angle of approximately 20 degrees to 40 degrees.

In the primary holding device 30, the banknote is carried into the primary holding device 30 from the carry-in route L6. The carried bill 43 is guided to the storage space 42 by the feed roller 56, the acceleration roller 54, and the impeller 52. At this time, when the angle (bank entry angle) R2 which the extension line L4 of the carry-on banknote 43 and the extension line L3 of the loading part 41a makes the angle of about 25 degree-35 degree, the carry-in banknote 43 is carried out. Preferred lamination is realized. The brought-in banknote 43 which entered the storage space 42 along the extension line L4 collides with the stage ceiling 40 at the banknote colliding position 82. The carried-in banknote 43 which collided is flipped and guided suitably to the position which overlaps with the laminated | stacked banknote 44. FIG. For this reason, the stage sheet | seat part 40 has the rubber sheet adhere | attached as a cushioning material in order to protect the carry-in banknote 43 and the stage ceiling part 40. As shown in FIG. In addition, the rubber sheet has given the appropriate repulsion force to the carry-in banknote 43 as an elastic body. In addition, the banknote collision position 82 is set in the entry position side (upper side) of the carried banknote 43 rather than the intersection point 81 of the stage ceiling 40 and banknote detection line L5.

Moreover, the primary hold apparatus 30 carries out a banknote from the export route L7 to the exterior (conveyance path 140a, 140b) of the primary hold apparatus 30. As shown in FIG. The carry-out banknote is guided to the outside of the primary holding device 30 along the bottom taper portion 57 and the conveyance guide 55 by the pick roller 58, the feed roller 56, and the acceleration roller 54. do. Moreover, the banknote which the separator roller 53 overlapped is isolate | separated so that a carry-out banknote may not be plural sheets at one time.

In addition, the presence or absence of a carry-out banknote is a banknote which presses the detection lever 60 at the time of the advancement of the stage 41, and the detection lever 60 rotates centering around the axis 83 which the detection lever support part 59 supports. Then, the sensor 84 judges by detecting this rotation of the detection lever 60.

Next, the state where the primary holding device (primary holding unit) 30 has stored a predetermined amount of bills will be described. 8 is a side cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the primary retention device according to the embodiment.

In the primary holding device 30, the storage capacity increases because the stage 41 retreats as the stack banknote 44 increases. At this time, the retreat amount of the stage 41 includes the number of bills carried in the inside of the primary holding device 30, the banknote detection sensor (photo sensor light receiving unit) 37 and the banknote detection sensor (photo sensor light emitting unit; 50). Is controlled based on the detection result. Retraction of the stage 41 is controlled so that the uppermost surface of the stacked banknote 44 is accommodated in a position of approximately a predetermined range. When the retreat from the initial position of the stage 41 does not reach a predetermined amount, since the movable storage wall 45 is pushed in the forward direction along the floor guide 46, even if the stage 41 retreats, not moving.

When the retreat from the initial position of the stage 41 reaches a predetermined amount, the rear lower end of the stage 41 is in contact with the movable storage wall 45. Then, when the retreat from the initial position of the stage 41 exceeds a predetermined amount, the rear lower end of the stage 41 retracts the movable storage wall 45 while contacting the movable storage wall 45. 8 shows a state in which the movable storage wall 45 has retracted from the spring mounting portion 48a of the spring 49 to the spring mounting portion 48b.

Next, the retraction amount of the stage 41 and the movable storage wall 45 is demonstrated using FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the stage and the movable storage wall. Arrows in the figure indicate the forward and backward directions of the stage 41 and the movable storage wall 45.

9A shows the initial position of the stage 41. The lower end of the back side of the stage 41 and the movable storage wall 45 are not in contact with each other, and the movable storage wall 45 is pressed by the spring 49 to be in the forward-side regulating position. The movable storage wall 45 in the forward-side regulating position has the banknote support portions 62a, 62b, 62c (FIG. 11) on the forward side than the banknote detection line L5, so that when the carry-in banknotes 43 are stacked, It is in a position sufficient to support the bottom of the. L11 represents the extension line of the mounting surface of the stage 41. At this time, the space | interval of approximately L5 and L11 becomes an effective banknote storage space (minimum).

FIG. 9B shows a position where the rear end face of the stage 41 and the movable storage wall 45 abut. The movable receiving wall 45 is still in the forward side regulating position. The movable storage wall 45 in the forward-side restricting position has a banknote support portion 62a, 62b, 62c (FIG. 11) located on the forward side of the banknote detection line L5, so that when the carry-in banknote 43 is stacked, It is in a position sufficient to support the bottom of the. In addition, L12 represents the extension line of the mounting surface of the stage 41. At this time, the space | interval of approximately L5 and L12 becomes an effective banknote storage space.

FIG. 9C shows the maximum retreat position of the rear side lower end of the stage 41 and the movable storage wall 45. The movable storage wall 45 is retracted together with the stage 41 which retreats. The movable storage wall 45 has the tip of the banknote support part 62a, 62b, 62c (FIG. 11) on the banknote detection line L5, so as to support the lower end of the banknote when the imported banknotes 43 are stacked. It is in sufficient position. L13 represents the extension line of the mounting surface of the stage 41. At this time, the space | interval of substantially L5 and L13 becomes an effective banknote storage space (maximum).

In this way, even if the bill storage space is made variable by the advance and retreat of the stage 41, the movable storage wall 45 is in a position sufficient to support the lower end of the bill, so that the misalignment during bill storage is preferably reduced. do.

This is similarly applicable to the case where the amount of retraction of the movable storage wall 45 is increased so that the banknote support portions 62a, 62b, 62c (FIG. 11) do not touch the banknote detection line L5. Also in this case, since the range which does not support the lower end of a banknote can be limited, a certain effect is obtained with respect to the reduction of the misalignment at the time of banknote storage.

Next, the banknote storing process which controls the retreat of the stage 41 is demonstrated. 10 is a flowchart of banknote storing processing. The banknote storing process is performed by the deposit and withdrawal processing control unit 110 of the deposit and withdrawal processing unit 100. The banknote storing process is executed, for example, when the deposit secondary process is executed.

[Step S51] The deposit and withdrawal processing control unit 110 moves the stage 41 to the initial position.

[Step S52] The deposit and withdrawal processing control unit 110 counts the loaded banknotes 43, and proceeds to step S53 each time ten sheets are stored, and otherwise waits.

[Step S53] The deposit and withdrawal processing control unit 110 retreats the stage 41 to a position where the banknote detecting sensor (photo sensor light receiving unit) 37 detects the light projection state, and proceeds to step S52.

In this way, the stage 41 is retracted to the position where the banknote detection sensor (photo sensor light-receiving part) 37 detects a light-transmitting state every time 10 sheets of banknotes 43 are accommodated. Therefore, even if the gap between the carry-in banknotes 43 is increased due to wrinkles, folds, or charging (electrostatics), the error in the amount of retreat of the stage 41 can be suppressed by an error within an appropriate value and a range of ten banknotes. .

Next, the state seen from the ceiling side of the primary hold-up device 30 about the stage 41 and the movable storage wall 45 is demonstrated. 11 is a schematic view of the stage and the movable storage wall viewed from the ceiling side of the primary retention device.

Carrying in and out of banknotes of the guide holes 63a, 63b, and 63c, cutting the end 61 of the banknotes diagonally (wedge-shaped) with respect to the direction of carrying in and out of the banknotes and conveying the banknotes from the bottom tapered portion 57 Resistance was reduced. In addition, the bottom surface guide 46 has a banknote detection sensor (photo sensor light emitting part) 50a, 50b in the back surface side. The banknote detection sensor (photo sensor light-emitting part; 50a, 50b) emits light in the direction of the banknote detection sensor (photo sensor light-receiving part) 37 which opposes through the light transmission window which is not shown in figure.

The movable storage wall 45 includes the banknote support part 62a guided by the guide hole 63a, the banknote support part 62b guided by the guide hole 63b, and the banknote support part 62c guided by the guide hole 63c. Has The banknote support parts 62a, 62b, 62c protrude slightly from the bottom surface of the bottom guide 46, and support the lower end of the banknote. The movable storage wall 45 is pressed by the spring 49a between the banknote support parts 62a and 62b, and is pressed by the spring 49b between the banknote support parts 62b and 62c. The spring 49a made the spring attaching part 51a the fixed end, and made the spring attaching part 48a the free end. Moreover, the spring 49b made the spring mounting part 51b the fixed end, and made the spring mounting part 48b the free end.

The stage 41 (the stage ceiling 40 is not shown) has guide rollers 34a, 34b, 35a, 35b.

In the primary holding device 30, between the feed rollers 56a to 56e that rotate in accordance with the rotation of the feed roller shaft 64, and the separator rollers 53a to 53d that rotate in accordance with the rotation of the separator roller shaft 65. The bill is carried in from and the bill is carried out again.

Next, the state in which the movable storage wall 45 supports a banknote is demonstrated. 12 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the perimeter of the movable storage wall.

The banknote support part 62 has the high friction region 66 and the low friction region 67. The high friction region 66 has a greater friction with the laminated banknote 44 than the low friction region 67. The high friction region 66 has a sawtooth shape on the surface to limit the movement of the bottom of the banknote in the direction in which the banknote intervals of the stacked banknotes 44 once aligned are opened. As a result, the high friction region 66 reduces misalignment due to the gap between bills due to vibration, static electricity, and the like. The low friction region 67 has a flat surface, and does not become a resistance when the laminated banknote 44 is carried out from the primary holding device 30.

Next, the high friction region 66 and the low friction region 67 of the banknote support part 62 are demonstrated. It is a schematic diagram of a banknote support part.

The banknote support part 62 has the high friction region 66 and the low friction region 67 of the stage 41. The high friction region 66 has a predetermined width from the stacking portion 41a of the banknote support portion 62, and the low friction region 67 has a predetermined width on the remaining tip side.

FIG. The uneven | corrugated area | region is asymmetrical uneven | corrugated (sawtooth) shape which made the carry-in side of banknote a gentle slope, and made the steep inclination the loading part 41a side (opposite side of the banknote side) of the banknote support part 62. Thereby, compared with the movement from the right side to the left side of the lower end of the laminated banknote 44, the movement from the left side to the right side of the lower end of the laminated banknote 44 is difficult. As a result, the high friction region 69 reduces misalignment due to the gap between bills due to vibration, static electricity, and the like. In addition, under the installation environment of the automatic trading device 1, the extension line L9 of the mildly inclined portion supporting surface in the primary holding device 30 is horizontal or inclined to the lower left. Therefore, each R3 which the extension line L9 makes with a horizontal line is set smaller than each R1. This prevents misalignment due to the spread of the banknote interval due to the reverse inclination of the high friction region 69. What is necessary is just to set the tooth height about 1 mm, and the tooth pitch about 1.5 mm.

The banknote support part 70 is one form of the banknote support part 62, and the high friction region 71 includes the rib row formation area | region continuous in the moving direction of the movable storage wall 45. As shown in FIG.

The banknote support part 72 is one form of the banknote support part 62, and the high friction area 73 contains the convex rib row formation area | region continuous in the moving direction of the movable storage wall 45. As shown in FIG.

The guide rollers 34 and 35 are rollers for guiding the movement of the stage 41. In addition, the pair of guide rollers 79 and 80 is provided in the left and right of the movable storage wall 45, respectively. The belt 78 is interposed between the driven roller 75 and the driven roller 76. The belt 77 is interposed between the driven roller 75 and the drive roller 74. The drive roller 74 is attached to the output shaft of the accommodation wall drive motor 85. The drive device, the belts 77 and 78, the driven rollers 75 and 76, and the drive roller 74 constitute a drive force transmission mechanism to the movable storage wall 45. The storage wall drive motor 85 can be controlled by forward rotation and reverse rotation, and controls the moving direction of the movable storage wall 45. In addition, the storage wall drive motor 85 has a light shielding state and a light-transmitting state of the banknote detecting line L5 connecting the sensing unit of the banknote detecting sensor (photo sensor light receiving unit) 37 and the banknote detecting sensor (photo sensor light emitting unit) 50. It is controlled by detecting. In addition, the storage wall drive motor 85 is controlled by detecting the movement limit of the movable storage wall 45 by the position detection sensor which is not shown in figure. The storage wall drive motor 85 can control the movement amount of the movable storage wall 45 by the drive amount or the drive time.

Next, the control example of the movable storage wall 45 using the storage wall drive motor 85 of FIG. 14 is demonstrated. 15 is a timing chart of the control of the movable storage wall.

A "paper bill acceptance" is a pulse signal which generate | occur | produces every time a banknote is accommodated in the primary hold apparatus 30 at the time of carrying in a banknote. One pulse means that one bill is received. The "paper bill detection sensor" shows the detection state of a banknote detection sensor (photo sensor light-receiving part) 37. "Stage" shows the movement amount of the stage 41 and graphs the amount of retreat from the initial position. "Movable storage wall" shows the movement amount of the movable storage wall 45, and graphs the amount of retreat from the initial position.

[Timing T1] The deposit and withdrawal processing control unit 110 retracts the stage 41 and the movable storage wall 45 by counting the loaded banknotes 43 and storing 10 sheets.

[Timing T2] The deposit and withdrawal processing control unit 110 stops the stage 41 by detecting the light projection state in the banknote detecting sensor (photo sensor light receiving unit) 37. The deposit and withdrawal processing control unit 110 retracts and stops the movable storage wall 45 by a predetermined amount even after the stage 41 is stopped (timing T3).

[Timing T4] The deposit and withdrawal processing control unit 110 advances and stops the movable storage wall 45 that has retreated by a predetermined amount after the stop of the stage 41 by a predetermined amount.

In this way, by operating the movable storage wall 45 using the storage wall drive motor 85, an operation independent of the stage 41 is possible. And by retreating by a predetermined amount, even if the lower end of the banknote which the banknote support part 62 supported was misaligned (the state which is not sorted and a gap exists in banknote space | interval), the banknote support part 62 supports it, The banknote which had existed is pushed by the stage 41, and is corrected in alignment.

The banknote support part 62 may be vibrated by repeating the forward and reverse rotation of the storage wall drive motor 85 to fix the banknote in an aligned state. At this time, in order to guide the downward movement direction of a banknote to the retreat direction, the movable support wall 45 moves the uneven | corrugated area | region which has asymmetric mountain-tooth-shaped shape which made the banknote side carry-in side of the banknote a gentle slope. When formed continuously in the direction, the banknote can be suitably fixed in an aligned state.
