In general, banks and the like are widely used in various types of financial automation equipment, and among them, there are devices that automatically receive and process bills, such as a single bill and a check.

As shown in FIG. 1, the bill acceptor automatic receipt processing unit 100, an inlet port 102 for injecting or returning user bills in a sheet, and an inlet for transporting the inserted bills in a plane state along a conveyance path. It is provided on the conveying apparatus 104, the conveying apparatus 104 formed from the part 102 to the storage cassette part 118 mentioned later, the alignment part 106 which aligns the banknote conveyed provided on the conveyance path to one side, and a conveyance path. The CIS (Contact Image Sensor; contact type image sensor) unit 108 which scans the transferred banknotes and obtains image information as the banknote information, and magnetic character information printed on the transferred banknotes provided on the conveying path. MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) section 110 obtained as information, a double sheet detecting section 112 for detecting whether two or more sheets of bills provided on the conveying path overlap and a conveying path image. On And a printing unit 116 for printing endorsement and the like on the banknote according to the printing instruction, and a conveying path between the MICR unit 110 and the printing unit 116 as described above, so that the transfer of the banknote is temporary. And a temporary standby portion 114 for stopping and waiting, and a storage cassette portion 118 for storing and storing completed banknotes up to printing.

Therefore, the action is that, if the customer or the bank clerk puts a sheet of bills to be received through the inlet port 102, the conveying device 104 is driven to transfer the inserted bills, the bills to be transferred is aligned portion 106 After passing through and aligned to one side, and then continuously transferred to pass through the CIS unit 108, the two-sided image information of the corresponding bill is obtained, and then the bill is continuously transferred to pass through the MICR unit 110 Magnetic character information described on the banknote is obtained, and then the banknote is continuously transferred and passed through the double sheet detecting unit 112 to detect whether the double sheet is detected, and then the banknote is temporarily held in the temporary waiting unit 114. The transfer stops and waits.

Then, the authenticity of the bill is confirmed using the image information and the magnetic character information acquired through the CIS unit 108 and the MICR unit 110, and then received or taken out according to the result of the check. do.

If the carry-out process is carried out, the conveying apparatus 104 is driven in the reverse direction to transport the bill in the reverse direction so that the customer or bank clerk receives the bill again at the inlet 102, while storing the bill. In this case, the conveying device 104 is driven forward to forward and transfer the bill again, and the bill is forwarded and transferred to the printing unit 116, and then the bill is completed by the printing. As a result, it is stored in the storage cassette unit 118 and stored.

As a result, a process in which a storing process is performed for a single bill is completed, and a large amount of bills are stored and stored in the storage cassette unit 118 through the repetition of such a process, and the bank clerk later stores (118) The bills are taken out from the inside.

Furthermore, when the bill is transferred and stopped on the conveyance path of the storage inlet part to be stored in the storage cassette part 118 after the printing is completed, a separate push bar is pushed down from the top while pressing the corresponding bill. Are lowered together so that they are stored in the storage cassette unit 118 on the lower side.

2 schematically shows a conveying apparatus of a conventional storage retracting unit.

The storage retracting part may be referred to as a part where the bill p to be finally received and stored in the storage cassette part 118 is transferred and waited for storage, and the conveying device 104a provided in the part is a printing part 116. The bills p passed through) are transferred in a flat state and stopped at a position where the storage cassette part 118 is located, so that the conveying path through which the bills p are conveyed is formed so as to face the upper and lower sides. Conveying belt 104a-u, 104a-b is provided, the upper conveying belt (104a-u) and the lower conveying belt (104a-b) is provided on both sides, respectively, through the empty space between the two sides described above One push bar 118a is lowered.

That is, since all four conveying belts 104a-ul, 104a-ur, 104a-bl, and 104a-br receive the rotational driving force of the separate conveying motor and all rotate at the same speed, the paper p Contact with the conveying belts 104a-ul, 104a-ur, 104a-bl, 104a-br causes friction to be transported along the conveying path, and the conveyance is stopped as the conveying motor is stopped.

Then, when the bill p is stopped, the push bar 118a is lowered through the central space between the two conveying belts 104a-ur / 104a-br and 104a-ul / 104a-bl to stop the bill ( While pushing the central part of p) as it is, the banknotes p are lowered from the conveying path between the upper and lower side conveyance belts 104a-u and 104a-b so as to escape from the ends and lower, and eventually the storage cassette part of the lower side ( 118).

However, the following problems arise in the conventional storage drawer conveyance apparatus 104a mentioned above.

That is, the bill (p) can be accurately transferred using a strong friction force through the cooperation of the upper and lower conveyance belts (104a-u, 104a-b), but from one side for the bill (p) in the transported and stopped state When the push bar 118a is pressed and stored in the storage cassette part 118, the strong frictional force by the upper and lower side conveyance belts 104a-u and 104a-b conveys the upper and lower sides of the banknote p rather than the upper and lower sides. At the same time, the belt 104a-u and 104a-b cannot be smoothly pulled out, and one end of the belt is pulled out first. As a result, the banknote p cannot be lowered together with the push bar 118a. The problem of not being stored in the portion 118 is frequently generated.

In addition, since the conveying belts 104a-u and 104a-b have a two-layer structure for closed circulation cycles, they are provided with a thick thickness so that the overall disadvantage of compacting the device is also disadvantageous. In particular, the distance that the push bar 118a has to be moved is also increased due to the thickness of the lower conveyance belts 104a-b provided on the storage cassette part 118 side. There is also a problem that the efficiency of the treatment is also lowered.

In addition, since the conveyance belts 104a-u and 104a-b have a problem of slipping and peeling off basically, the operation reliability of the apparatus is also reduced in this respect.

The present invention was devised to solve the above problems, the upper side using the conveying belt as it is, instead of the lower side using a plurality of idle rollers (idle roller) instead of the conveying belt, bills storage action by the push bar It is an object of the present invention to provide a storage retracting unit conveying device of the automatic bill handling machine to be able to remove the bill more easily to be smoothly stored so that the friction for the paper bill less.

The storage retracting unit conveying device of the automatic bill handling machine of the present invention for achieving the above object is provided in the storage retracting unit that the bill to be stored and finally stored in the storage cassette unit is transported and waiting for storage It is a conveyance retracting unit conveying device of the automatic bill handling machine to stop the transfer to the planar state, the upper side conveyance belt is provided on one side to the conveying path for conveying the bill is rotated by receiving a rotation drive force and It is characterized in that it is composed of an in-line idle roller having a plurality of idle rollers are arranged on the other side with respect to the conveying path for conveying the bill.

The above objects and various advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the preferred embodiments of the invention described below with reference to the accompanying drawings by those skilled in the art.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 3 is a perspective view showing a receiving portion conveying device of the automatic bill handling machine according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Prior to the description, it will be omitted that the detailed description of the same components as in the prior art.

According to the present invention, the conveying apparatus 104a 'provided in the storage retracting unit in which the bills p finally received and stored in the storage cassette unit 118 are transported and waited for storage is provided with a printing unit 116. The upper conveyance belt provided on both sides of the upper side with respect to the conveying path to which the banknote p is conveyed is stopped by the conveying banknote p as it is in a planar state, and stopped at the position with the storage cassette part 118. In-line idle rollers 104a'-b having 104a-u and a plurality of in-line idler rollers provided on both sides of the lower side with respect to the conveying path through which the bills p are conveyed. That is, the conveyance path is formed between the conveyance belt 104a-u of the upper side and the inline idle rollers 104a'-b of the lower side.

And, since the upper side conveying belt (104a-u) and the lower side in-line idle roller (104a'-b) is provided on both sides at the same height, respectively, an empty space is formed in the central portion between the two sides, this center The push bar 118a is lowered and passed through the space part.

Thus, when the conveying belts 104a-ul and 104a-ur on both sides of the upper side are rotated at the same speed by receiving the rotational driving force of the conveying motor, the banknote p is the upper conveying belts 104a-ul and 104a-ur. By contacting and rubbing the upper conveyance belt (104a-ul, 104a-ur) and the lower side of the inline idle rollers (104a'-bl, 104a'-br) of the opposite side is conveyed along the conveying path After the transfer, the transfer is stopped as the transfer motor stops driving.

Then, when the bill (p) is stopped, the push bar (118a) of the upper side is lowered through the central space between the two sides while pushing the center portion of the bill (p) that was stopped as it is of the bill (p) Both ends are easily pulled out of the conveying path between the upper conveyance belts 104a-ul and 104a-ur and the lower inline idle rollers 104a'-bl and 104a'-br, and the corresponding banknote p is push bar 118a. It is moved along with the) to eventually be stored in the storage cassette unit 118 on the lower side.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the push bar 118a presses the banknote p and pulls it out of the conveying path and stores it in the storage cassette part 118, and conventionally, the conveying belt 104a-u is provided on both the upper side and the lower side. In comparison with the case in which 104a-b is provided, since the inline idle rollers 104a'-b are provided on the lower side instead of the conveying belts 104a-b, the idler is compared with the existing conveying belts 104a-b. Since the rollers 104a'-b generate no friction force against the paper money p at all, the both ends of the paper money p can be more smoothly removed from the conveying path, thereby operating the paper money p. The operation reliability of the device is improved by allowing the storage cassette unit 118 to be accurately and accurately stored at all times without failure.

In addition, the in-line idle rollers 104a'-bl and 104a'-br may be provided with a relatively small thickness compared to the conveying belts 104a-bl and 104a-br formed in a two-layer structure for a closed circulation cycle. Since it can be used, it is advantageous to compact the device, and also the distance between the transport path and the storage cassette unit 118 is shortened according to the reduced thickness, so that the distance that the push bar 118a should be moved is shortened. The time required for the storing operation is saved, so that the efficiency of the storing process is also improved.

Further, since the idle rollers 104a'-b, which have no problem of peeling off at all, are used instead of the conveying belts 104a-b, the operation reliability of the apparatus can be improved in this respect as well.

In addition, although the push bar 118a is provided on the upper side with respect to the conveyance path and the storage cassette part 118 is provided on the lower side with respect to the conveyance path, the position provided may be reversed. In any case, the conveying means provided on the storage cassette unit 118 side is provided by an in-line idle roller instead of the conveying belt, so that the release of the bills p from the conveying can be made more smoothly.

In the foregoing description, it should be understood that those skilled in the art can make modifications and changes to the present invention without changing the gist of the present invention as merely illustrative of a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

According to the present invention, according to the pressing action of the push bar, the bill can be smoothly separated from the conveying path so that it can be stored in the storage cassette without operation failure, and instead of the lower conveying belt, there is no problem of peeling off the in-line idle roller. As a result, it is possible to improve the operation reliability of the device, and also use an in-line idle roller that can be formed in a small thickness instead of a conveying belt which is formed in a two-layer structure for a circulation cycle and becomes relatively thick. It can be advantageous for the compactness of the device, and as the thickness decreases, the distance between the conveying path and the storage cassette is shortened, and the movement distance of the push bar is shortened, which saves the time required for storing action, thereby saving the bills. The effect of being able to improve the efficiency of the data can be achieved.
