In this state, the push plate 713 must 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 850. The controller 850 keeps the push plate 713 at the standby position P at all times except for the stacking operation according to this signal. Do not disturb the inflow of bills.

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 850 energizes the main driving motor 801 based on the signal transmitted from the 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 acquisition machine 200 is allowed to obtain the banknote and the tip of the banknote advances to the second banknote sensor 309, the controller 850 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, as the drive gear 809 is rotated by the operation of the clutch 810, the drive gear 404, the drive gear 605 and the third to ninth transfers connected to the shaft through the fourth drive belt 607. Belts 406, 407, 413, 630, 640, 660, 670 begin to rotate in turn.

When the banknotes passing through the first and second guides 315 and 316 pass through the two banknote sensors 414 and 415 to reach another banknote sensor 417, the main drive motor 801 stops. When the transfer of the bills is stopped, 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 a signal is input, the controller 850 energizes the second solenoid 505. As the distribution body 531 is moved to the position shown by the virtual line through the process as described with reference to FIG. 3 through the energization of the second solenoid 505, the second and fourth banknote sensors 414 and 415 pass through. The banknote proceeds between the sixth and ninth transfer belts 630 and 670.

The moment the bill is advanced between the sixth and ninth conveyance belts 630 and 670 is detected by the sensor 617, the controller 850 determines that the bill is in a stackable state and stops the main drive motor 801. To stop the transfer of bills and energize the stacking motor 701. As the stacking motor 701 is energized, the push plate 713 is pushed into the stacking box 900 while being moved from the standby position B to the stacking position Q, as described in detail with reference to FIG. 5.

If this operation is repeated and the amount of bills stacked in the stacking box 900 increases and approaches the maximum stacking number, this state is detected by the sensor 920 through the sensor lever 910 and is transferred to the controller 850. The controller 850 transmits a warning message by operating a warning light or an alarm according to a signal of the sensor 920. When the controller 850 detects the fullness of the bill through the sensor 902, the controller 850 stops the operation of the entire device to stop the acquisition of the bill.

If the bill return signal is input, the controller 850 energizes the third solenoid 623. As the rod 622 is pulled by the plunger 623a by the energization of the third solenoid 623, the distributor 620 connected to one end of the rod 622 is moved from the solid line position to the virtual line position about the hinge 628. By being rotated, the banknote passing through the first bank branching means 500 is guided between the sixth and seventh transfer belts 630 and 640 while being aligned with the tip 510 'of the stopper 510.

When the tip alignment state of the banknote is detected, the controller 850 sends a signal to the fourth solenoid 511. When the plunger 511a is pulled by the energization of the fourth solenoid 511 and the rod 512 is rotated as shown by a virtual line around the hinge 550, the tip 510 'of the stopper 510 is raised. Banknotes are conveyed while being cut, and the banknote is held by the pressure roller 608 of the banknote discharging means described in FIG. 2C while the other end is held between the pressure roller 608 and the driving roller 606. By protruding sufficiently through, the user can easily pull out the returned bill. At this time, when the sensor 618 confirms that the discharging operation of the bill is completed, the controller 850 completes the return operation and enters the waiting state for the next transaction.

In addition, although not shown, the banknote processing apparatus mounted, locked and the shutter on the stacking box 900 that is operated in conjunction with this (in the case of mounting / locking the shutter is open, the banknote can enter into the banknote processing device, And a sensor device (not shown) for detecting the state of the device to prevent the banknote stacker from being closed when the banknote stacker is removed. When the banknotes are loaded as much as the banknote capacity in the stacking box 900, the fullness is sensed by the detection lever 910 and the sensor 920 of the stacking box 900 to stop the operation of the device.

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 in a banknote stack when a transaction occurs, and can be returned collectively when a return is requested. At this time, the banknote temporary storage place for temporarily storing a plurality of banknotes introduced through the banknote recognizer, and provides a good banknote alignment state at the time of storing and returning the bin, while using a horizontal operation stacking device Is configured to be stacked horizontally and evenly, there is an advantage that can be miniaturized the overall device.
