The first sensing mechanism 460 may include a first ultrasonic sensor 462 and a first reflector 464 reflecting the sound waves generated from the first ultrasonic sensor 462.

For example, the first ultrasonic sensor 462 may be installed in a first sensor mounting portion 466 provided in one frame 412. The first reflector 464 may be installed in the first guide 340. For example, the first guide 340 may include a reflector mounting portion 345 for mounting the first reflector 464.

The temporary storage unit 30 may further include an integrated state sensing unit for sensing the integrated state of the medium integrated on the integrated surface 302.

The integrated state sensing unit may include a light emitting unit 392 and a light receiving unit 394 disposed on the opposite sides of the integrated surface 302. For example, the light emitting portion 392 may be positioned above the accumulation surface 302 and the light receiving portion 394 may be located below the accumulation surface 302.

At this time, the integrated surface 302 may be provided with a slot (not shown) through which the light emitted from the light emitting unit 392 passes.

A line connecting the light emitting unit 392 and the light receiving unit 394 is connected to a second guide 370 at an integrated standby position and a second guide 370 at an integrated standby position to detect the integrated state of the medium at a position adjacent to the first guide 340. [ And may be positioned between the first guides 340.

6 and 7 are views showing a process of integrating media according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 shows a state in which media are normally integrated on the integrated surface, and FIG. 7 shows a state in which integration of media is poor Fig.

3 to 6, a medium may be inserted into the medium storage space of the media input / output unit 13 for a deposit transaction of the medium. The media loaded into the media storage space can be separated one by one by the media separation device. The media separated one by one passes through the discriminating portion 20.

The medium M determined as a normal medium in the medium passing through the discrimination unit 20 is conveyed along the first path 304 and is fed into the accumulation space 303 by the first conveying apparatus 310 do.

The second guide 370 and the first guide 340 may be located in the accumulation standby position for the accumulation of the medium M. [

In the integrated standby position, the second plate (350) remains rotated relative to the first plate (342). At this time, the second plate 350 is inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to a vertical line, and guides the medium M conveyed by the first conveying device 310. The angle formed by the second plate 350 and the accumulation surface 302 may be an acute angle less than 90 degrees.

The medium transferred from the first transfer device 310 is guided upward by the first guide 340. The upwardly guided medium is moved downward after bumping against the damper 380 and is lifted by the sheet roller 314 in the state of being seated on the accumulating surface 303 or before being seated on the accumulating surface 303 . The medium struck by the sheet rollers 314 moves to the second guide 370 side.

The medium is passed between the light emitting portion 392 and the light receiving portion 394 in the process of accumulating one medium on the accumulation surface 302 so that there is a point where the light is not irradiated by the light receiving portion 394.

6, the light receiving unit 394 can receive the light emitted from the light emitting unit 392 in a state in which the medium is normally accumulated on the integrated surface 302. [

In FIG. 6, the gap between the first guide 340 and the lastly integrated medium on the accumulation surface 302 must be maintained at or above the reference interval for stable accumulation so that the next medium stably strikes the damper 380 , The sheet roller 312 can strike the medium, so that the integration defect of the medium and jam occurrence can be prevented.

The distance between the upper end of the imaginary line connecting the light emitting unit 392 and the light receiving unit 394 and the upper end of the first guide 340 may be equal to or larger than the reference distance, The light emitting portion 392 and the light receiving portion 394 may be disposed.

When the number of the media M accumulated in the accumulation space 303 increases, the second guide 370 can move in a direction away from the first guide 340 (left direction in FIG. 6).

In other words, the control unit may control the second driving source 440 so that the second guide 370 can move based on the increase in the number of the media M.

The control unit may control the rotation of the second driving source 440 by a predetermined number of rotations (the number of rotations may be set to 1 or more) every time the medium integrated in the accumulation space 303 increases by one, The second driving source 440 may be controlled.

In other words, the control unit may control the second driving source 440 such that the second guide moves by the reference moving distance each time the medium is incremented by one.

The control unit may vary the reference rotation speed based on information sensed by the integrated state sensing unit during the accumulation of the medium.

The medium is present on the path of the light between the light emitting portion 392 and the light receiving portion 394 when the medium is not stably integrated as shown in Fig. In this case, the light irradiated to the light emitting portion 392 can not reach the light receiving portion 394.

In this embodiment, the control unit can determine that an integration defect has occurred in the integrated space when the time when the light emitted from the light emitting unit 392 does not reach the light receiving unit 394 reaches a reference time.

Or if the medium is transported in multiple units per second it will be detected in the light receiving unit 394 that multiple media per second are being received. Therefore, it is possible to judge whether or not the medium exists on the virtual line based on the number of times the light is received by the light-receiving portion 394 and the time when the light is not received.

7, when the medium is additionally transported in a state where the accumulation of the medium is poor, the reference distance between the upper end of the last accumulated medium and the upper end of the first guide 340 is not secured, There is a possibility that a problem of colliding with the most recently integrated medium may occur without colliding with the recording medium 380. In this case, there may be a problem of jamming due to the medium being transported additionally.

According to the present invention, when the control unit detects an accumulation failure of the medium, the reference rotation speed of the second driving source 440 may be increased to control the reference moving distance of the second guide 370 to be increased.

As the moving distance of the second guide 370 is increased, the movable distance of the medium integrated on the integrated surface 302 is secured, thereby reducing the possibility of jamming of the medium.

Meanwhile, the reference rotation speed of the second driving source 440 may be varied stepwise. When the reference rotation speed of the second driving source 440 at the initial stage of accumulation is the first rotation speed, if the integration failure of the medium occurs, the reference rotation speed may be changed to the second rotation speed more than the first rotation speed .

If the integration failure of the medium is detected again in the state where the reference rotation number is changed to the second rotation number, the reference rotation number may be changed to the third rotation number which is increased from the second rotation number.

At this time, the reference rotation number is changed in one transaction process, and when the transaction is completed, the reference rotation number may be initialized and set as the first rotation number.

In this embodiment, the second sensing mechanism can linearly sense the position of the second guide 370, so that the position of the second guide 370 can be grasped during the movement of the second guide 370, The positional error of the second guide 370 can be corrected when the second guide 370 is displaced from the normal position.

According to the present invention, there is an advantage that the position of the guide can be accurately grasped without moving the guide in order to find the position of the guide.

Further, there is an advantage that the position of the guide can be grasped regardless of the position of the guide.

In addition, when the accumulation failure of the medium is detected in the accumulation process of the medium, the jamming of the medium is prevented by controlling the movement distance of the second guide to be increased.

In addition, there is an advantage that an interrupt sensor or the like is not additionally disposed in order to grasp a plurality of positions of the guide.

In the case where the idea of the present invention is applied to the media input / output unit as the customer access module, the position of the plate guide at the standby position for the deposit transaction, the standby position of the accumulating guide for accumulating the rejected medium, The guide moving position when the rejected bills are integrated, the guide moving position when the retreated medium is stacked, and the like can be accurately detected.
