Therefore, when the rotary member 323 is rotated in the first direction by the external force by the support member 326 being supported by the base 321, elastic restoring force is accumulated in the second elastic member 324 . When the external force is interrupted, the rotary member 323 moves in the second direction and can be restored to the initial position.

The elastic member 324 may be disposed inside the bushing 322. Accordingly, the bushing 322 may be formed with openings for the support member 326 and the connecting member 325 to project out of the bushing 322, respectively.

For integration of the media, the support guide 26 and the integration guide 24 may be located in an integrated standby position. The integrated standby position may be a position for the integration guide 26 and the support guide 24 to integrate the media.

On the other hand, the integrated standby position may be a position where the integrated guide 24 presses the equity eliminator 32. In detail, the accumulating guide 24 may be in a state of pressing the pressing portion 327 of the stock removal device 32. At this time, the pressing portion 327 may be rotated in the first direction together with the rotating member 323. [ An elastic restoring force may be accumulated in the elastic member 324 by a connecting member 325 connected to the rotating member 323. [

In the integrated standby position, the second plate 242 remains rotated with respect to the first plate 241. At this time, the second plate 242 is inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to a vertical line to guide the medium conveyed by the first conveying device 220. The angle formed by the second plate 242 and the accumulating surface 21 may be an acute angle smaller than 90 degrees.

When the number of the media M accumulated in the accumulation space 211 is increased, the support guide 26 can be moved in a direction away from the accumulation guide 24 (left direction in FIG. 10).

When the accumulation of the medium M in the accumulation space 211 is completed, the support guide 26 and the accumulation guide 24 can be moved to the separation stand-by position as shown in FIG. 11, . In order for the support guide 26 and the accumulation guide 24 to move from the accumulation standby position to the separation standby position, the support guide 26 and the accumulation guide 24 are moved toward the second transfer device Toward the upper left direction).

The separation standby position may be a position at which the stacking guide 24 and the support guide 26 separate the media.

When the support guide 26 and the accumulation guide 24 move to the separation standby position, the accumulated elastic restoring force may be applied to the pressing portion 327 of the stock removal device 32. The pressing portion 327 may be rotated in a second direction opposite to the first direction while being away from the base 321 due to the elastic restoring force acting thereon. At this time, the rotary member 32 may be rotated in the second direction together with the pressing portion 327. The cleaner 328 is slid in a state of being in contact with the detection sensor 31 in the second direction rotation of the rotation member 32 to remove the stake in the detection sensor 31.

That is, the equity eliminator 32 may remove the shares in the detection sensor 31 before the media accumulated in the accumulation space 211 are separated from the media accumulation device 20 . Therefore, the detection sensor 31 can improve the accuracy of confirming that the media integrated in the accumulation space 211 are separated.

Meanwhile, in a state where the medium M is positioned between the support guide 26 and the accumulation guide 24, the support guide 26 and the accumulation guide 24 are separated from each other by a separation standby position Can be moved. Therefore, in order to prevent the medium M from collapsing during the movement of the support guide 26, the support guide 26 and the accumulation guide 24 may be moved at the same speed.

In the process of moving the accumulating guide 24 to the separation standby position, the accumulating guide 24 is moved away from the rotating guide 28. The second plate 242 is overlapped with the first plate 241 by the resilient restoring force of the elastic member 243 by being separated from the push portion 281 which is in contact with the elastic member 243, Can be lost.

The second plate 242 may be substantially perpendicular to the accumulating surface 21 with the second plate 242 overlapped with the first plate 241.

The support guide 26 moved to the separation standby position may be separated from the medium M without interfering with the pickup roller 231. [

Meanwhile, in a state where the support guide 26 and the accumulation guide 24 move to the separation standby position, a separation command for the medium in the accumulation space 211 may be input.

For example, referring to FIG. 2, information of a medium that has been discriminated and integrated in the temporary storage unit 12 and information of a medium returned to the medium input / output unit 3 may be displayed on the user interface 6 have. A deposit confirmation command or a deposit cancellation command for the medium integrated in the temporary accumulation unit 12 may be input through the user interface 6. If the deposit confirmation command is input through the user interface 6, the medium integrated in the temporary storage unit 12 is separated and transferred by the second transfer device 230, And may be stored in the media storage box 13.

Referring again to FIGS. 10 to 12, in the process of separating the integrated media M, the integrated guide 24 may press the integrated media M toward the pickup roller 231 side. When the pick-up roller 231 is provided with the pickup 231a at a part of the periphery of the pickup roller 231, at the time when the pickup 231a comes into contact with the medium M during the rotation of the pickup roller 231, The medium M can be picked up by the frictional force between the medium M and the medium 231a.

When the media M in the accumulation space 211 is completely separated from the media accumulation device 20, the support guide 26 and the accumulation guide 24 are moved to the accumulation standby position for the accumulation medium to be transported .

The accumulation guide 24 can press the stock removal device 30 in the process of moving to the accumulation standby position. In detail, the accumulating guide 24 can press the pressing portion 327. [ When the pressing portion 327 is pushed by the accumulating guide 24, since the spiral notch is present in the bushing 322, the pressing portion 327 moves toward the base 321 in the first direction As shown in FIG.

The rotation member 323 can be rotated together with the pressing portion 327 in the first direction by the rotation of the pressing portion 327 in the first direction. At this time, the cleaner 328 slides in contact with the detection sensor 31 during the rotation of the rotation member 323, so that the sensor 31 can be removed. At this time, an elastic restoring force can be accumulated in the elastic member 324 by the connecting member 325 connected to the rotating member 323. [ As described above, when the accumulating guide 24 is moved to the separation standby position, the accumulated elastic restoring force can be applied to the pressing portion 327. [

According to the present invention, the share of the detection sensor can be removed by using the apparatus for removing the equity interest.

In addition, since the stakes attached to the detection sensor can be removed by the apparatus for removing the equity, the medium detection efficiency of the detection sensor can be improved.

Also, by using the structure of the structure for removing the linear movement of the accumulating guide into a rotary motion and having a simple structure, the design cost can be minimized.

In addition, since the stake removing apparatus can be automatically operated to remove the stake of the detection sensor, the convenience of the user can be improved.

In addition, there is an advantage in that time and cost for maintenance of financial instruments can be minimized.

Hereinafter, the second embodiment will be described.

The difference from the first embodiment is that, in the media stacking according to the second embodiment, the positions for collecting the media of the stacking guide and the positions for operating the stock removal apparatus of the stacking guide are provided in separate positions, respectively .

13 is a view for explaining the operation of the stock removal apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 13, the support guide 26 and the accumulation guide 24 may be located in an integrated standby position. The accumulation standby position may be a position for the support guide 26 and the accumulation guide 24 to accumulate the medium M into the accumulation space 221.

In detail, the integrated standby position may be a position where the integrated guide 24 is spaced from the rotation guide 28 by a predetermined distance. The angle formed between the second plate 242 and the accumulating surface 21 may be determined to be a predetermined value by the rotation guide 28 being spaced from the accumulating guide 24 by a predetermined distance. That is, the position of the accumulation guide 24 in the accumulation standby position may be adjusted such that the medium is aligned with the support guide 26 side in a state in which the medium is not collapsed on the accumulation surface 21 in the accumulation space 221 And can be an angle to be integrated.

The medium for integration may be introduced into the accumulation space 221 by the first transfer device 220.

The support guide 26 can be moved in a direction away from the accumulation guide 24 (left direction in FIG. 10) when the number of the media M indicated in the accumulation space 211 is increased.

When the accumulation of the medium M in the accumulation space 211 is completed, the support guide 26 and the accumulation guide 24 can be moved to the separation stand-by position as shown in FIG. 11, .

In the state where the support guide 26 and the accumulation guide 24 are located at the separation standby position, a separation command for the medium in the accumulation space 211 can be input. The media integration apparatus 20 may perform separation of the media integrated in the integrated space 221 based on the separation command.

When the media M in the accumulation space 211 is completely separated from the media accumulation device 20, the support guide 26 and the accumulation guide 24 are moved to the accumulation standby position for the accumulation medium to be transported .

At this time, in the course of moving to the accumulation standby position, the accumulation guide 24 can move to the accumulation waiting position after pressing the equity eliminator 32. Therefore, the interest of the sensing sensor 31 can be removed by the equity canceller 32.

In this embodiment, the position at which the accumulation guide 24 presses the stock removal device 32 may be referred to as a stock removal operation position. That is, the accumulation guide 24 can move to the accumulation standby position after operating the stock removal device 32 at the position of the equity elimination operation.

On the other hand, the case where the accumulation guide 24 moves from the accumulation standby position to the equity removal operation position can be variously determined by the manager setting.

In the case where the accumulation guide 24 is moved from the accumulation standby position to the equity removal operation position, when a share removal instruction is inputted from the user interface 6, when a share removal instruction is input from the customer information acquisition unit, When the number of accumulation times reaches the reference number, when the accumulated number of accumulated media reaches the reference number, and when the sensitivity of the detection sensor 31 becomes less than the reference sensitivity, Can be one of the cases.

For example, the financial instrument 1 may further include a sensitivity measuring unit (not shown) for measuring the sensitivity of the sensing sensor 31. The sensitivity measuring unit compares the intensity of the light output from the light emitting unit of the sensing sensor 31 with the intensity of the input light, and when the comparison amount is less than or equal to a predetermined value, or when the intensity of the received light is less than a predetermined value, It can be determined that the sensitivity of the sensor 31 is decreased. When the medium is not integrated in the accumulation space 211, the sensitivity measuring unit may measure the sensitivity of the sensing sensor 31. [

Alternatively, the sensitivity measuring unit (not shown) may measure the intensity of light input to the light receiving unit from the light output from the light emitting unit. The sensitivity measuring unit may store the intensity of light input to the light receiving unit in the memory of the financial instrument. The sensitivity measuring unit may measure the intensity of light input to the light receiving unit from the light output from the light emitting unit at predetermined time intervals, and may store the measured intensity. The financial instrument 1 can confirm that the sensitivity of the sensing sensor 31 is less than the reference sensitivity by comparing the intensity of light stored in the memory for each set period.

Hereinafter, the third embodiment will be described.

It is to be noted that the third embodiment differs from the previous embodiments in that there is a difference in some configurations of the equity canceller. The same portions as those of the previous embodiments are omitted.

FIG. 14 is a view schematically showing a state in which a pressing force does not act on the pressing portion in the apparatus for removing a partner according to the third embodiment. FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a state in which a pressing force is applied to the pressing portion Fig.

14 and 15, the bushing 322 of the stock removal apparatus 30 may include an elastic member 424. The elastic member 424 may include a compression spring.

The elastic member 424 may be provided on the bottom surface of the pressing hole 322a provided in the bushing 322. The protrusion 327 may be formed with a protrusion. In addition, the bushing 322 may be formed with a concave helical notch in which the protrusion can be received. Accordingly, when a pressing force F is applied to the pressing portion 327, the pressing portion 327 can be rotated along the spiral notch of the bushing 322.

When the pressing portion 327 is pressed by the accumulating guide 24, the pressing portion 327 can be rotated in the first direction while approaching the base 321.

The rotation member 323 can be rotated together with the pressing portion 327 in the first direction by the rotation of the pressing portion 327 in the first direction. At this time, the cleaner 328 slides in contact with the detection sensor 31 during the rotation of the rotation member 323, so that the sensor 31 can be removed.

 At this time, the resilient restoring force can be accumulated in the elastic member 424 by the pressing force of the pressing portion 327.

When the accumulation guide 24 moves to the accumulation standby position, that is, when the accumulation guide 24 moves from the second position to the first position, the accumulated elastic restoring force may act on the pressing portion 327. The pressing portion 327 may be rotated in the second direction away from the base 321 due to the elastic restoring force and in a direction opposite to the first direction. The cleaner 328 slides in a state of being in contact with the detection sensor 31 during the rotation of the rotation member 32 in the second direction so that the sensor 31 can be removed.
