[Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-184906

TECHNICAL FIELD This invention relates to paper sheet processing apparatuses, such as a banknote deposit and withdrawal apparatus. Specifically, It is related with the paper-loading-out part of paper sheets.

The banknote entry and exit port of the conventional banknote deposit and withdrawal apparatus is demonstrated below. 24 is an explanatory view of a teller machine, and FIG. 25 is an explanatory view of a banknote device.

On the customer side of the banknote deposit and withdrawal device 100, a panel 106 having a card insertion hole 101, a bankbook entrance 102, a customer operating unit 103, a display 104, a banknote teller and bank 105 and the like is formed.

There is a banknote deposit and withdrawal unit 107 inside the banknote deposit and withdrawal device 100, and the banknote and withdrawal outlet 105 is disposed above the banknote and withdrawal unit 107, and the banknote and withdrawal outlet 105 is shown in FIG. 25. As shown.

In other words, as shown in the figure, the shutter 109 is formed in the opening of the case body 108 of the fitting portion of the panel 106 with the banknote entry and exit port 105 of the panel 106. The shutter 109 can be opened and closed by the instruction.

When the banknote transfer operation | movement is instructed, as shown in FIG. 26, the shutter 109 is opened and the banknote 111 is thrown into the pull part 110 by a customer. When the feeding is completed, the shutter 109 is closed, the banknote 111 is pressed by the bill press 112 and sandwiched with the full frame floor 113, and rotates together with the pull portion 110, as shown in FIG. 27. Similarly, the banknote 111 will be in contact with the drawing roller 114.

By the drive part which is not shown in figure, banknotes are separated one by one by the feed roller 116 and the gate roller 117 which comprise the gate 115 for separating banknotes one by one with the drawing-out roller 114. FIG. The separated banknote is detected by the sensor 118 with the size of the banknote, the inclination with respect to the advancing direction, and the like, and the banknote judged to be transportable can be conveyed through the feed path 119 as shown in FIG. And the conveyance roller 120 which rotates by interlocking with a belt, a gear, etc., are conveyed to the banknote accommodating part which is not shown in figure.

Next, when the withdrawal operation of the banknote is supported, the banknotes are separated and sent out one by one from the banknote accommodating part (not shown) provided with the withdrawal roller, the feed roller, and the gate roller, and as shown in FIG. It passes through 121 and detects the state of a banknote by the sensor 122, and is integrated on the full frame floor 113 of the pull part 110. As shown in FIG. When accumulation of the specified number of sheets is completed, as shown in FIG. 30, the accumulated banknote is pressed by the bill press 112, and it rotates with the pull part 110 as shown in FIG.

Thus, the shutter 109 is opened and the customer can take out the banknote from the pull unit 110.

As described above, the customer puts or unloads the bills, the parts for separating the inserted bills one by one, the part for accumulating the withdrawn bills, and the one by rotating the pull part, thereby realizing the space saving of the bill in and out part. have.

For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a conventional technique in which the pull portion rotates at the time of depositing and withdrawing money.

However, in the above-described technique, in the case of withdrawal, in order to allow the customer to receive the bills accumulated in the pool, and also in the case of the withdrawal, the withdrawn bills are folded or bills when withdrawing the bills one by one from the gate. If the customer inserts a media (receipt, etc.) of a different size than the size of the product, if it is sent to the subsequent conveying path as it is, there is a possibility that a serious obstacle may be caused by the device. It is necessary to stop the withdrawal, rotate the pull and return the bill to the customer.

However, depending on the state in which the customer's banknote is put or the banknote's accumulation state, as shown in Fig. 32, the end portions are not aligned, and a part thereof may protrude.

As shown in FIG. 33, when a pull part is rotated in the state which a part of banknotes protruded, the protruding banknote may be sandwiched between a case body, a shutter, and a pull part, as shown in FIG. There arises a problem that the pull portion does not rotate properly, the operation stops and the device breaks down, and furthermore, an operation problem arises that the customer cannot easily receive the pinched banknote.

An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to release the clamped state when a banknote whose part is squeezed is sandwiched between the case body or the shutter and the pull portion.

Therefore, the present invention is characterized in that at least a part of the full frame floor constituting the pool is divided into movable parts.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, with reference to drawings, the Example by this invention is demonstrated using a banknote deposit and withdrawal apparatus.

Example

1 is a perspective explanatory diagram of a pull part, and FIG. 2 is a side explanatory diagram for explaining operation.

The full frame 2 which serves as a frame of the pull part 1 has a box shape as shown in the figure, and holds the banknotes inserted from the banknotes and withdrawals 103 shown in FIG. 25 or accumulates the withdrawn banknotes. It is a place and each component demonstrated below is mounted in this full frame 2. As shown in FIG.

In the figure, reference numeral 4 denotes a full frame floor, which is divided into a full floor guide 5 that is a movable part and is rotatable in a planar shape.

The full floor guide 5 is capable of rotating in the A-A 'direction with respect to the full frame floor 4 by a drive mechanism by a stepping motor or the like not shown by the rotation point 3.

In addition, this part may be any part of the full frame floor 4, and although it is set to the middle in this embodiment, otherwise, for example, the base of a full frame floor may be sufficient, In that case, the whole full frame floor is a base. Rotational movement is possible, and the full frame floor also serves as a full floor guide.

Further, the full floor guide 5 is provided with a hole or a notch 8 (in the drawing, a case of a hole) of the take-out roller 7 necessary for separating the banknote 6.

(9) is a bill press arranged opposite the full frame floor. As shown in FIG. 2, this bill press 9 is movable in parallel with the full-frame floor 4 in B-B 'direction by the drive mechanism which is not shown in figure.

10 is a pull part rotation point formed on the full frame side wall 11, and is arranged on the same axis of each of the left and right full frame side walls 11, and the pull part 1 is the CC around this rotation point 10. Rotation is freely mounted in the customer's part, and is rotated by a rotation driver (not shown).

The operation of the pool portion of the above configuration will be described below.

When a customer inserts and receives a banknote, as shown in FIG. 3, it rotates the full floor guide 5 and gives an angle with respect to the full frame floor 4, and between the case bodies 12 is shown. Form a space (open the opening). By putting out this space, the finger of a customer tends to hold the banknote 6, and operability improves.

In the case of depositing, as shown in FIG. 4, the full-floor guide 5 is operated so that it may become the same surface or parallel with respect to the full-frame floor 4, and the inserted banknote 6 is pressed by the bill press 9 .

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5 by rotating the pull part 1, the banknote is brought into contact with the take-out roller 7 via the notch 8, and the banknote 14 is carried out by the feed roller 13 and the gate roller 14. Are separated and drawn one by one.

In the case of withdrawal, the bills 6 accumulated on the full floor guide 5 and the full frame floor 4 are in the reverse order at the time of separation, and the pull part 1 is rotated and the full floor guide 5 ) Is moved to have an angle with respect to the full-frame floor 4, and as shown in FIG. 3, it is made open and it is easy for a customer to receive.

However, in each of the above operations, in the case of detecting separation failure or a deformed medium during the separation of the deposited bank notes, it is necessary to stop the separation and return the bank notes to the customer as shown in FIG. 6. In addition, at the time of accumulation of withdrawal, it may accumulate in the state which the edge part of the banknote protruded, as shown in FIG.

When the pull unit 1 is rotated in such a state, as shown in FIG. 8, the protruding banknote may be sandwiched between the case body 12 or the shutter and the pull unit 1.

In such a case, as shown in FIG. 9, even if the full floor guide 5 is rotated and opened, it is a state which a banknote is hard to take out. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10 by moving the full floor guide 5, a banknote is pressed by rotating so that it may become parallel (planar shape) with respect to the full frame floor 4, and the protruding part of the banknote clamped by this is full floor The guide 4 can be pushed out from behind to release the clamped state.

Then, the full floor guide 5 is rotated again to have an angle with respect to the full frame floor 4 as shown in FIG. 11 to create a space between the case body 12 and the banknote 6 ( The opening of the pull portion can be widened) so that the customer can easily receive the bill.

In addition, the full floor guide 5 moves to form a flat surface with the full frame floor 4, so that when separating the banknotes, as shown in FIG. 12, the full floor guide forms a plane with the full frame floor to act as a separate floor guide. At the time of withdrawal, as shown in FIG. 13, a full frame floor and a plane can also be formed to have a function as an integrated stage guide.

In addition, in the above description, an example in which the full floor guide 5 is configured to be rotatable relative to the full frame floor 4 has been described. However, as shown in FIG. 14, the full floor guide 4 is a full frame floor 4. It may be formed so as to move in parallel to the DD 'direction, and as shown in FIG. 15, the full floor guide 5 has the same function as the above described full floor guide 5 by moving in the up and down direction. It is possible to release the state where the banknote is held.

In short, when pulling out the banknote in the pull part 1, the pull-floor guide 5 is lowered, and the clearance gap is formed between the case body 12, and a customer's hand is made to enter, and it is easy to pull out a banknote.

In addition, when the protruding banknote is clamped between the case body 12 and the pull part 1, even if the pull-floor guide 5 is moved and opened, as shown in FIG. 15, a banknote is in a difficult state to take out. Thus, the full floor guide 5 is moved, and as shown in FIG. 16, the full frame floor 4 is extended to press the banknote so that the full-floor guide 5 pushes out the billed portion of the held banknote. It can be pushed out to release the clamped state.

Then, the full floor guide 5 is moved again, and as shown in FIG. 17, a space is created between the case body 12 and the banknote 6, and a customer can receive a banknote easily.

In the above-described configuration as described above, it is more preferable if the sensor can detect whether or not the banknote sticks out.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 18, the sensor 15 which detects the height of a banknote above the pull part 1 is arrange | positioned toward the thickness direction of a banknote.

In such a configuration, when the pull unit 1 is rotated in a state where there is a banknote protruding at the time of receipt of the customer's banknote in the deposit / withdrawal transaction, the banknote protruding from the accumulation state as shown in FIG. ) And the pull portion (1). At that time, it is necessary to move the full floor guide 5 to eliminate the state where the banknote is held.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 19, the sensor 15 can detect that the banknote is clamped between the case body 12 or the shutter and the pull part 1.

When the banknote is detected by the sensor 15, as shown in FIG. 20, the full floor guide 5 is moved to push the clamped banknote to eliminate the pinching.

When the sensor 15 does not detect a banknote, it judges that there is no banknote held and does not move the full floor guide 5.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 21, in the case of deposit separation, when the sensor 16 is installed in the conveyance path, when the separation failure or the deformed medium is detected and returned to the customer, the sensor 16 is conveyed by the sensor 16. The cross section of the banknote is detected. As a result of detection, when a banknote is not aligned, when it returns to the pool part 1 and rotates the pool part 1, pinching of a banknote may occur, as shown in FIG. 23, the full floor guide 5 Move to push the sandwiched paper to dissolve it.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 22, when the sensor 17 is provided in a conveyance path at the time of withdrawal accumulation, the attitude | position and cross-sectional state of a banknote conveyed are detected. When it is detected that the posture of the banknote is bad or the cross section is not aligned, the bank of the banknote may occur. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 23, the full floor guide 5 is rotated after the pull unit 1 is rotated. You can remove the narrowing by moving.

When the sensor 17 does not detect a banknote in a bad state, it is determined that there is no banknote held and moving the full floor guide 5 is not performed.

As described above, by providing the sensor, the operation of the full floor guide can be performed only when necessary, and the operation processing time can be shortened.

In addition, in the above description, although the pull portion has been described as having a structure capable of rotating movement, the above structure can be applied to any structure as long as the pull portion is not only a rotation movement but a structure that moves regardless of the direction.

In addition, although the said description demonstrated with the banknote deposit and withdrawal apparatus, it can use similarly also in paper sheet handling apparatuses, such as a card handling apparatus and a ticketing apparatus.

In this way, the present invention pushes the paper sheet by moving the open movable portion to have a flat shape, thereby pushing out the protruding portion of the paper sheet sandwiched between the case body and the pull portion, thereby eliminating the sandwiched state. It is possible to take out the sheets of paper.

In addition, the movable part is moved again to make an angle with respect to the full frame floor, thereby creating a space between the case body and the paper sheets, thereby obtaining the effect that the paper sheet can be easily received by the customer.
