2A and 2B are diagrams illustrating the first and second dynamometers of the main power unit according to the present invention, and FIG. 2C is an enlarged view of portion C of FIG. 2B. For the sake of understanding, in the following description, a power transmission element in which two gears are engaged is described as a drive gear, and a power transmission element that directly receives or transmits power through a drive belt is described as a drive pulley, and the drive gear is coaxial. The power transmission element for transmitting the power transmitted to the driving pulley in the mounted state to the idle roller through the various conveying belts will be described as a driving roller.

First, FIG. 2A shows a first dynamometer driven by the main drive motor 801. The power generated by the main drive motor 801 is sequentially transmitted to the first drive pulley 304 ′ through the first driving belt 803, the second driving belt 806, and the third driving belt 812. The first and second transfer belts 306 and 307 are rotated at all times. In more detail, the main drive pulley 802 is mounted on the main drive motor 801 axis of the main drive unit 800, and the main drive pulley 802 is formed by the first driving belt 803. 804. The intermediate pulley 804 is connected to the second drive belt 806 through a pulley 804 'which is coaxially mounted again, and the second drive belt 806 is coaxially connected to the third drive gear 808. It is connected to the mounted third drive pulley 808 '.

The third drive pulley 808 ′ is delivered to the second drive pulley 304 ′ through the third drive belt 812. In addition, since the second driving gear 304 is engaged with the first driving gear 303, the power transmitted to the first driving pulley 303 ′ causes the second driving gear 304 and the first driving gear 303 to pass through. It is transmitted to the drive roller 303 "coaxially mounted with the 1st drive gear 303. The drive rollers 303" and 304 "arrange | positioned opposingly have the 1st conveyance belt 306 and the 2nd, respectively. The conveying belt 307 is wound. Therefore, the rotational force of the main drive motor 801 transmitted through the first to third driving belts 803, 806, and 812 is controlled by the driving rollers 304 "and 303". It is transmitted to the second and first conveyance belts 307, 306 in turn to rotate it at all times. The other side of the first and second conveyance belts 306, 307 is rotatable to the idle rollers (301, 301 '). It is wound.

Next, in FIG. 2B, the fourth driving belt 607 and the rotational force of the main driving motor 801 are driven by the fourth driving gear 809 meshed with the third driving gear 808 according to the operation of the clutch 810. A second dynamometer is shown for delivery to the fifth drive belt 416 to drive the remaining third to seventh transfer belts 406, 407, 413, 608, 609.

In more detail, the fourth driving gear 809 is coaxially mounted with the clutch 810, and although not shown in detail, is engaged with the third driving gear 808 by the operation of the clutch 810 and is selectively selected. Enables power transmission Therefore, when the clutch 810 is operated by the control of the controller 813 and the power of the third drive gear 808 can be transmitted to the fourth drive gear 809, the rotational force of the main drive motor 801 is zero. The first driving belt 803, the second driving belt 806, and the third driving gear 808 are transferred to the fourth driving pulley 809 ′ coaxially mounted with the fourth driving gear 809.

Power transmitted to the fourth driving pulley 809 'is transmitted to the fifth driving pulley 605' and the second driving pulley 403 'through the fourth driving belt 607, and the second driving pulley 403'. The power transmitted to) is again transmitted to the sixth driving pulley 410 ′ through the fifth driving belt 416. Therefore, the power transmitted to the second drive pulley 403 'is wound around the plurality of idle rollers 401 and 402 through a drive roller 403 "coaxially mounted with the second drive pulley 403'. It is transmitted to the third transfer belt 406 to rotate it.

In addition, the power transmitted to the sixth drive pulley 410 'through the fifth drive belt 416 is idle roller 412 through the drive roller 410 "coaxially mounted with the sixth drive pulley 410'. ) Is transferred to the fifth conveyance belt 413 wound around the fifth conveyance belt 413. The fifth driving belt 413 closely contacted in the middle by the same direction rotation of the third conveyance belt 406 and the fourth conveyance belt 407. ) Is rotated while being supported by a plurality of idle rollers (408).

On the other hand, the fifth drive gear 605 is coaxially mounted to the fifth drive pulley 605 ′ through which the rotational force of the main drive motor 801 is transmitted through the fourth drive belt 607, and the fifth drive gear 605. ) Is meshed with the sixth drive gear 606 again. The sixth drive gear 606 is engaged with the seventh drive gear 612 via two idle gears 604, and the sixth drive gear 606 and the seventh drive gear 612 are respectively driven. Rollers 606 ", 612" are coaxially mounted. Therefore, the power transmitted to the fifth drive pulley 605 'is transmitted to the sixth conveying belt 608 and the seventh conveying belt 609 through these driving rollers 606 "and 612", thereby transferring these. The belts 608 and 609 are rotated while being wound around the plurality of idle rollers 601 to 603, respectively, to transfer banknotes.

FIG. 2C is an enlarged view of portion C of FIG. 2B, showing the banknote discharging means of the present invention. In view of this configuration, a bracket 613 having one end rotatably mounted on the sixth drive roller 606 " shaft and the other end driven roller 610 rotatably mounted thereon, and the bracket 613 mounted thereon. The driven roller 610 is brought into close contact with the driven roller 611 driven between the seventh drive gear 612 and the driving roller 612 "coaxially with the seventh drive gear 612 by pulling the extension end 613a of the The third tension coil spring 622 grips the rear end. Therefore, the driving roller 612 "rotates by the power transmitted from the sixth drive gear 606 via the two idle gears 604, and the driven roller 610 is driven roller by the elastic force of the spring 622. The state in close contact with 611 is held so that the rear end of the banknote is gripped during the banknote return operation described later.

In the banknote processing apparatus of the present invention, a banknote pressurizing means 300 for pressurizing the banknote passing between the first conveyance belt 306 and the second conveyance belt 307 is accurately transferred. As shown in detail in FIG. 3, the banknote pressurizing means 300 pressurizes the banknote at a predetermined pressure by the pressure roller 313 through the first conveyance belt 306 so as to be in close contact with the banknote detecting sensor 308. The first solenoid 310 pulling the plunger 310a according to the control signal transmitted from the controller 813 based on the input signal transmitted from the 309, and the rod 311 connected at one end by the pin 320. The plunger 310a is connected to each other and the pressure roller 313 is rotatably mounted at the other end by a pin 324 so that the pivoting pin 322 is operated when the first solenoid 310 is operated. A link 320 for the pressure roller 313 to be in close contact with the first transfer belt 306 while rotating, and a pull to pull the link 320 to its original position when the first solenoid 310 is turned off. It consists of a single tension coil spring 314.

Therefore, when the banknote acquisition is permitted in the banknote recognizer 200 and the tip of the banknote advances to the second sensor 309, the controller 813 applies a current to the solenoid 310. Accordingly, the link 312 is pulled through the rod 311 while the plunger 310a is pulled, and the pressure roller 313 moves from the position of the solid line to the position shown by the virtual line by the rotation of the link 312. This will lower the pressure and press the banknote to the appropriate pressure. As a result, it becomes possible to convey banknotes tightly and reliably by the appropriate pressing force of the pressure roller 313.

Therefore, the banknotes introduced and held between the third conveying belt 406 and the fourth conveying belt 407 are divided by the fourth conveying belt and the first conveying body by the distribution body 501 of the banknote distributing means, which will be described later in FIG. It is fed between 5 conveying belts and sent to the temporary storage location (A).

As shown in FIG. 4, the overall configuration of the banknote branching means 500 is based on the signal transmitted from the banknote detecting sensors 414, 415, and 417 according to the control signal transmitted from the controller 813. A first link 503 and a first link 503 which is operatively coupled to the plunger 505a via the rod 504 and pivots about the hinge 522 via the second solenoid 505 for pulling 505a. A second link 502 pivoting about the hinge 528 by an actuation force transmitted from the plunger 505a through the link 503, and one end of which is formed in the second link 502 by a pin 530. The other end 501a is operatively coupled to the slot 502a and transfers the bills carried by the third and fourth transfer belts 406 and 407 to the temporary storage position A and the loading standby position ( Dispensing mounted on the main body 910 by a pin 532 to be selectively supplied to any one of B) It consists of a 501 and a second solenoid 505, the second tension coil spring 506 to stretch back to its original position the distal end 526 of the first link 320 at the time of off.

The rod 504 is rotatably coupled to the first link 503 by the pin 520, and the conveying direction of the banknote is variable by the tip 501a of the distribution body 501. That is, the controller 813 in the case of conveying the bill stored in the bill temporary storage unit 400 toward the bill stacking box 900 based on the signal transmitted from the bill sensing sensor 414 and an operation signal input from the outside. ) Energizes the second solenoid 505. Accordingly, as the plunger 505a is pulled, the first and second links 503 and 502 are rotated as shown in the imaginary line about the hinges 522 and 528 via the rod 504, respectively. Pull the sieve 501. Therefore, the distributor 501 is rotated about the hinge 532 and moved from the solid line position of FIG. 3 to the virtual line position, thereby being transferred by the third and fourth transfer belts 406 and 407. Banknotes are supplied between the sixth and seventh transfer belts 608 and 609. The bills thus supplied are stacked into the stacking box 900 by the stacking means 700 shown in FIG.

Looking at the overall configuration of the stacking means 700 for pushing the bills supplied to the stack standby position (B) by the bill splitting means 500 into the stacking box 900, the signals transmitted from the bill detectors 614 and 616. A stacking motor 701 which is operated according to a control signal transmitted from the controller 813 to rotate the pinion 702, and is rotated by the pinion 702 and guide pin 704 by the pin 704 ′. Cam gear 703 is rotatably mounted, and one end is formed with a guide hole 707a in which the guide roller 704 slides, and the other end of the cam gear 703 is rotatably formed around the hinge pin 710 in the main body 910. The lever 707 is rotatably mounted and the first lifting link 708 and the hinge 720 are mounted to be rotatable relative to the hinge pin 710 by the lever 707. The second elevating link 709 is symmetrically elevating with the elevating link 708, and A push plate 713 is attached to push the bills waiting at the loading standby position B into the stacking box 900, and the first lifting link 708 is slid at one end by a pin 712. A long hole 714a is formed which is possibly mounted and the other end is composed of a push plate 714 connected to the second lifting link 709 by a pin 722.

Therefore, the state in which the bill is moved to the stacking standby position by the sixth and seventh transfer belts 608 and 609 is sensed by the sensor 614, and the tip of the bill is not detected by the sensor 616 so that If the length is judged to be approximately the same, the controller 813 determines that the bill is in a stackable state, and energizes the stacking motor 701. As the pinion 702 is rotated according to the operation of the stacking motor 701, the cam gear 703 engaged with the pinion 702 is rotated, and the guide roller 704 installed on the cam gear 703 also starts to rotate together. do.

At this time, since the guide roller 704 is fitted in the guide slot 707a formed in the lever 707, as the cam gear 703 rotates, the lever 707 is hinge pin 710 as shown in FIG. It is rotated around. As the lever 707 rotates, the first lifting link 708 also rotates about the hinge pin 710 and starts to descend. Accordingly, the second elevating link 709 coupled to the first elevating link 708 on the hinge 720 moves relative to the push plate 713 from the standby position P to the stowed position Q. Thereby stacking the bills into the stacking box 900 and, as the cam gear 703 rotates, the first and second lifting links 708 and 709, including the lever 707, are shown in phantom lines in FIG. While moving to the position shown by the solid line in the push plate 714 is raised to move to the loading standby position (P).

In this state, the push plate 714 should always be kept in the loading standby position except for the stacking operation. To this end, an encoder 705 having a slit is provided on the cam gear 703 axis. The slit is detected by the sensor 706 and transmitted to the controller 813. The controller 813 maintains the push plate 714 at the standby position P at all times except for the stacking operation according to this signal. Do not disturb the inflow of bills.

1, if the bundle of bills conveyed by the sixth and seventh conveying belts 608 and 609 is stretched in the traveling direction without being able to be normally loaded in the bill holder 900, the detection sensor 617 This is detected by the controller 813 transmits a detection signal. That is, when the banknote is stopped by the banknote sensor 615, when the tip of the banknote is detected by the sensor 617, the banknote return port 102 by the banknote discharge means described in Figure 2c controlled by the controller To be discharged.

That is, when the tip of the bill is detected or the collective return signal is input to the bill detecting sensor 617, the bill passing through the bill detecting sensor 615 is passed through the sensor 617 as it is, and the rear end is sent to the sensor 617. Third tension coil spring which is stopped at the moment of sensing and applies tension to the bracket 613 fixed to the fifth drive gear 605 and the driven roller 610 and the bracket 613 rotatably coupled to the other end. The back end of the banknote is inherited between the idle roller 610 and the idle roller 611 by the 622, the tip is to be exited to the outside through the bill return port (102).

At this time, whether to return the bill is detected by the lever 619 and the sensor 618. That is, when the user pulls out the returned bill, when the movement of the lever 619 is detected by the sensor 618 and sent to the controller 813, the controller 813 blocks the current transmitted to the motor to complete the return operation. Done.

So far, the configuration of each part and its operation relationship have been partially described, but the overall banknote stacking process will be briefly described with reference to FIG. 1.

When the banknote is input through the banknote input port 101, the banknote introduced through the discrimination operation of the banknote recognizer 200 is introduced between the first and second transfer belts (306, 307). At this time, the controller 813 energizes the main driving motor 801 based on the signal transmitted from the first banknote sensor 308. The driving rollers 303 ″ and 304 ″ are rotated through the first driving belt 803, the second driving belt 806, and the third driving belt 812 by the operation of the main driving motor 801. The two conveying belts 306 and 307 rotate.

At this time, if the acquisition of the bill in the bill recognizer 20, the main drive motor 801 is stopped and the bill is discharged to the outside through the bill inserting hole 101 by the ejection operation of the bill recognizer 200. In addition, when the back end of the banknote exits the discharge roller 204 of the banknote recognizer 200 while the banknote is transferred, the banknote recognizer 200 is stopped to obtain a state.

When the banknote recognizer 200 is allowed to obtain the banknote and the tip of the banknote advances to the second banknote sensor 309, the controller 813 energizes the first solenoid 310 and the clutch 810. Accordingly, the first solenoid 310 pulls the link 312 via the rod 311, so that the pressure roller 313 rotatably mounted at one end of the link 312 may include the first transfer belt 306. Press) to ensure that the bills are transferred securely. At the same time, the fourth driving gear 809 is rotated by the operation of the clutch 810 and is connected to the sixth driving gear 404, the fifth driving gear 605, and the shafts through the fourth driving belt 607. The third conveying belt 406, the fourth conveying belt 407, the fifth conveying belt 413, and the sixth and seventh conveying belts 608 and 609 start to rotate in sequence.

When the bill passing through the first and second guides 315 and 316 passes through the third and fourth bank detection sensors 414 and 415 to reach the fifth bank detection sensor 417, the main driving motor 801 Stops and the transfer of the bills is stopped, and the bill recognizer 200 is in a state where banknotes can be obtained.

When the second banknote is obtained, the above operation is repeated, and the front end of the first banknote and the second banknote which are stopped by the fifth banknote sensor 417 by the synchronization of the second banknote sensor 309 is a temporary storage position. You will meet at (A).

Thereafter, the above operation is repeated until a transaction or return signal is input, and when the signal is input, the controller 813 energizes the second solenoid 505. As the second solenoid 505 is energized, the distribution body 501 is moved to a position shown by a virtual line through the process described with reference to FIG. 3, and thus, passes through the third and fourth bank detection sensors 414 and 415. The banknote proceeds between the sixth and seventh transfer belts 608, 609.

When the banknote advanced between the sixth and seventh transfer belts 608 and 609 is detected by the sensor 615, when the tip of the banknote is detected by the sensor 617, the bill return slot 102 as described above. If it is not detected, the controller 813 determines that the bill is in a stackable state, stops the main drive motor 801 to stop the bill transfer, and energizes the stacking motor 701. Let's do it. According to the energization of the stacking motor 701, the push rod 714 is pushed into the stacking box 900 by moving the banknote from the standby position P to the stacking position Q as described in detail in FIG. 5. It is put in.

If this operation is repeated to increase the amount of bills stacked in the stacking box 900 to approach the maximum number of sheets, this state is detected by the sensor 902 and sent to the controller 813, and the controller 813 ) Transmits a warning message by operating a warning light or an alarm according to the signal of the sensor 902. In addition, when the bill is filled in the stacking box 900, this state is sent to the controller 813 by the sensor 903, the controller 813 stops the operation of the device to stop the acquisition of bills. Subsequently, when the amount of bills in the stacking box 900 is reduced by the sensor 903 and an empty state is detected, the bill accepting operation is enabled, and the controller 813 repeats the above operations to load the bills.

According to the present invention described above, a plurality of bills flowing through the banknote recognizer can be stored in a temporary storage, and can be collectively loaded into a banknote stack when a transaction occurs, and can be collectively returned when a return is requested. In addition, by using a banknote holding means a plurality of banknotes can be aligned neatly in the temporary storage place, and the billing device is arranged horizontally on the upper part of the bill holders to configure the bills can be stacked vertically downward There is an advantage that can be miniaturized.
