However, in the present embodiment, although the bills and checks are classified and stored for each media storage device 120, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the bills and checks may be stored in the same media storage device 120.

However, as described above, in the case of depositing only banknotes or only checks in a conventional media storage device, that is, a cassette 20 (see FIG. 1), or mixing and depositing them, the size depends on the type of paper medium P. Since it may be different, in the process of stacking on the cassette 20, the paper stack P may be stacked on the rear end of the stacking paper stack P, and thus the stacking of the paper stack P may not be performed. You may not.

Accordingly, the financial automation device of the present embodiment includes a media storage device for accurately stacking paper media having different sizes, which will be described in detail below.

3 is a view showing a schematic configuration of a media storage device according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 is a paper medium is stacked in the storage space of the media storage body by the rotation of the alignment roll shown in FIG. It is a figure which shows the state.

As shown in these figures, the medium storage device 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the medium storage body 121 to form a storage space (121S) in which the paper medium (P) is stacked and stored in the height direction And an inlet roller portion 140 rotatably mounted at the inlet portion of the medium storage body 121 to introduce the paper medium P into the storage space 121S, and a lower portion of the inlet roller portion 140. Press the paper medium P rotatably mounted at the inlet portion of the medium storage body 121 to be inserted into the storage space 121S in a direction opposite to the inertia direction applied to the paper medium P. It may include an alignment roller 130 to be stacked in the storage space 121S.

With this configuration, the paper medium P is selected so that the rear end of the paper medium P touches the rear end wall 121s of the walls of the medium storage body 121 in the storage space 121S of the medium storage body 121. It may be laminated at all times, and thus, the paper medium P may be unevenly stacked during the lamination process of the paper medium P.

Referring to each configuration, first, the media storage body 121 of the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, the rectangular paper medium (P) can be stacked in the height direction in the storage space 121S of the inner side thereof. It may be provided in a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and although not shown in detail, the upper end may be provided as a cover to open or cover the media storage body 121.

In the media storage body 121, the introduction roller portion 140 and the alignment roller 130 to be described later may be built in, but in order to simplify the configuration of the media storage body 121 in the present embodiment The 140 and the alignment roller 130 may be mounted in the inner space of the financial automation device 100. Thus, when the media storage body 121 having a removable structure is mounted in the mounting space of the financial automation device 100, as shown in Figure 3, the retracting roller 140 and the alignment roller 130 is a medium The storage body 121 may be coupled to be partially penetrated.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the inlet roller unit 140 of this embodiment is rotatably mounted at the inlet of the media storage body 121 and is delivered through the media transfer unit 105 (P). ) Is a portion that leads to the storage space 121S of the medium storage body 121. The drawing roller portion 140 moves the paper medium P in a substantially horizontal direction as shown in FIG. 3 by a rotation operation so that the paper medium P can be drawn into the storage space 121S. .

To this end, the inlet roller 140 of the present embodiment, the inlet rotation roller 141 having a rotation axis (141s), the inlet rotation roller 141 is counterclockwise by a drive source (not shown) (Fig. 3 and FIG. 4), the paper medium P may be drawn into the storage space 121S by the frictional force with the drawing rotary roller 141.

However, when the paper medium P is introduced into the storage space 121S by the inlet roller 140, the inlet roller unit 140 causes the paper medium P to pass through the front wall 121b of the medium storage body 121. Since the paper medium P may be directed toward the front wall 121b of the media storage body 121 by the inertial force, the paper medium P may not be reliably stacked. That is, the paper medium P may not be properly stacked by catching the previous paper medium P.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the moment when the paper medium P is separated from the drawing roller unit 140, the alignment roller unit 130 moves downward from the paper medium P (more precisely, the rear end wall of the medium storage body 121). By pressing downward toward 121a), the paper medium P is stacked so that the rear end of the paper medium P contacts the rear end wall 121a of the medium storage body 121 without moving in the direction of inertial force. Can be.

3 and 4, the alignment roller 130 of the present embodiment is provided along the circumferential direction at the outer surface of the alignment rotating roller 131 and the alignment rotating roller 131 having the rotating shaft 131s. A plurality of sheet wing member 135 may be included.

First, the alignment rotary roller 135 of the present embodiment is mounted to the inlet portion of the media storage body 121 to be located below the above-mentioned retracting rotary roller 11, as shown in Figure 3, the retracting rotary roller 141 By rotating in a direction opposite to the rotation direction of the (clockwise) to allow the movement in the storage space 121S of the paper medium (P) with the incoming rotation roller 141 to be made smoothly.

The alignment rotary roller 135 may be driven by a drive source separate from the drive source of the retracting rotary roller 141, so that the paper medium to the storage space 121S by separate rotation control of the retracting rotary roller 141 The pulling speed of (P) can be selectively adjusted, and the stacking reliability of the paper medium P stacked in the storage space 121S can be improved by separate rotation control of the alignment rotating roller 135.

On the other hand, the plurality of sheet wing member 135 of the present embodiment, a pair of sheet wing member 135 as shown schematically in Figures 3 and 4, to be arranged at intervals of 180 degrees in the alignment rotary roller 135 Can be. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the sheet wing member 135 may be mounted on the alignment rotating roller 135 in a different arrangement structure.

Referring to FIG. 4, the sheet wing member 135 presses the paper medium P drawn into the storage space 121S of the medium storage body 121 downward toward the rear end wall of the medium storage body 121. This allows the paper medium P to be stacked with the rear end wall 121a of the medium storage body 121 as an alignment surface (by sweeping).

That is, the sheet wing member 135 can also be rotated by the rotation of the alignment rotating roller 135, the paper medium (P) is completely media by the interaction of the drawing rotary roller 141 and the alignment rotating roller 135 When the sheet wing member 135 is drawn into the storage space 121S of the storage body 121, the sheet wing member 135 sweeps the paper medium P in a direction opposite to the inertial direction applied to the paper medium P as shown in FIG. 4. As a result, the paper medium P may be stacked on the rear end wall 121a instead of the front wall 121b of the media storage body 121.

Therefore, there is no risk of catching the rear end of the paper stack P that is stacked first during the stacking of the paper stack P. Accordingly, reliable stacking of the paper stack P can be achieved.

At this time, in order to effectively press the paper medium (P) in the opposite direction of the inertial force applied to the paper medium (P), the sheet wing member 135 of the present embodiment can increase the friction force with the paper medium (P) It may be provided with a flexible material. Therefore, when the sheet wing member 135 sweeps down the paper medium P toward the rear end wall 121a of the medium storage body 121, the contact between the sheet wing member 135 and the paper medium P becomes wider. It is possible to generate a larger pressing force and thus the paper medium (P) can be accurately stacked on the rear end wall (121a) of the media storage body 121.

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the paper roller P can be smoothly drawn into the storage space 121S of the media storage body 121 by the rotation operation of the drawing roller unit 140, but also the alignment roller. The unit 130 may stack the paper medium P on the rear end wall 121a of the medium storage body 121 as an alignment surface, thereby preventing the paper medium P from being caught by another paper medium P. Therefore, the lamination process of the paper medium P can be made reliably.

In the following description, a media storage device according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described, and description thereof will be omitted for parts substantially the same as the above-described embodiment.

FIG. 5 is a view schematically illustrating an introduction roller unit and an alignment roller unit of a media storage device according to another embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in the drawing, the alignment roller unit 230 of the present embodiment includes a first alignment roller 231 disposed below the introduction roller unit 240 to transfer the paper medium P, and the introduction roller unit 240. ) And a pair of second alignments disposed on both sides of the first alignment roller 231 at the lower side thereof and provided with the sheet wing members 235 substantially the same as the sheet wing members 135 (see FIG. 3) of the above-described embodiment. It may include a roller 233.

Here, the first alignment roller 231 and the second alignment roller 233 are separately provided with a drive source, so that the first alignment roller 231 serves to transfer the paper medium P into the storage space, and the second alignment roller 233 may press the paper medium P drawn into the storage space by the first alignment roller 231 downward to stack the paper medium P on the alignment surface.

By such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the insertion roller portion 240 and the sheet vane member 235 of the second alignment roller 233 from interfering with each other when the insertion roller portion 240 and the alignment roller portion 230 rotate. Therefore, the lamination process of the paper medium P may be reliably performed, and the paper medium P may be smoothly transferred by the interlocking operation of the inlet roller 240 and the first alignment roller 231. In FIG. 5, the first alignment roller 231 and the second alignment roller 233 are illustrated as being arranged on the same axis. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto and may be arranged on different axes.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, such modifications or variations will have to be belong to the claims of the present invention.
