As the amount of bills 6 accumulated on the mounting table 22 increases, the mounting table 22 is moved away from the impeller 23 side against the urging force of the spring member 25.

(Structure of lock mechanism)
The lock mechanism 26 is provided inside the case member 21, and has an engaging member 36 provided on the mounting table 22 and a locking member 37 with which the engaging member 36 is engaged. The mounting table 22 has a side surface portion 22b that moves in the X direction along the partition plate 30, and an engaging member 36 is fixed to the side surface portion 22b. The engaging member 36 has a triangular protrusion 36a that engages with the lock member 37, and the tip of the protrusion 36a is arranged so as to face the lock member 37.

The lock member 37 is rotatably supported by a support shaft 37a provided on the partition plate 30 fixed to the case member 21. The lock member 37 is connected to the arm member 43 described later of the operating mechanism 27, and has an elongated hole 37b that movably supports the arm member 43.

The lock member 37 has a plurality of recesses 38 with which the protrusions 36a of the engaging member 36 are engaged, and a plurality of partition walls 39 provided between the adjacent recesses 38. The plurality of recesses 38 are arranged at the lower end of the lock member 37 along the moving direction (X direction) of the mounting table 22, and are provided in the moving area of the mounting table 22 in the storage space 21a. The partition wall 39 is formed as a plate-shaped rib orthogonal to the arrangement direction of the plurality of recesses 38.

As described above, the engaging member 36 has the triangular protrusion 36a, so that when the tip of the protrusion 36a comes into contact with the partition wall 39 of the recess 38, the partition wall 39 is aligned with the hypotenuse of the triangular protrusion 36a. slide. Therefore, since the protrusion 36a of the engaging member 36 is guided to either one of the adjacent recesses 38, the protrusion 36a can be smoothly engaged in the recess 38. Therefore, regardless of the position of the mounting table 22 in the X direction, the movement of the mounting table 22 is smoothly regulated by the lock member 37.

Further, in the lock member 37, when the number of banknotes 6 accumulated on the mounting table 22 changes by a predetermined number, for example, 100, the position of the recess 38 with which the protrusion 36a moved together with the mounting table 22 engages is 1. A plurality of recesses 38 and a plurality of partition walls 39 are formed so as to be displaced from each other. As a result, when the mounting table 22 moves in the X direction as the amount of accumulated bills 6 changes, the protrusions 36a of the mounting table 22 properly engage with the recesses 38 of the lock member 37 in the X direction. The moving mounting table 22 can be smoothly regulated. Further, as a result, it is possible to more appropriately suppress that the bills 6 accumulated on the mounting table 22 regulated by the lock member 37 are disturbed by the vibration or impact applied to the bill storage device 14.

(Structure of operating mechanism)
As shown in FIG. 6, the operating mechanism 27 includes a roller member 41 that comes into contact with the top plate 18a of the mounting portion 18, an arm member 43 that rotates when the roller member 41 comes into contact with the top plate 18a, and an arm member 43. It has a coil spring 44, which urges the coil spring 44 in one direction. In other words, the operating mechanism 27 is a switching mechanism that switches between a locked state in which the locking mechanism 26 regulates the mounting table 22 and a released state in which the locking mechanism 26 releases the regulation of the mounting table 22.

The roller member 41 is rotatably supported by one end of the arm member 43 via a rotation shaft 41a. The rotation shaft 41a is arranged along the Y direction, and the roller member 41 rotates along the top plate 18a when the bill storage device 14 is inserted and removed from the mounting portion 18 in the X direction. Further, the roller member 41 is supported by the arm member 43 so that a part of the roller member 41 projects to the outside of the case member 21 through the opening 21e of the lid member 21b (see FIGS. 2 and 3). In other words, in the posture in which the bill storage device 14 is mounted on the mounting portion 18, the position of the upper end of the roller member 41 protruding outward from the opening 21e of the case member 21 is the height of the top plate 18a of the mounting portion 18 in the Z direction. It is higher than that.

The arm member 43 is rotatably supported by the partition plate 30 via the first support shaft 43a, and is rotatably supported by the lock member 37 via the second support shaft 43b. Further, in the arm member 43, the second support shaft 43b is supported by the elongated hole 37b of the lock member 37, and the second support shaft 43b moves along the longitudinal direction of the elongated hole 37b, whereby the lock member 37 Is rotated around the support shaft 37a. Therefore, the operating mechanism 27 and the locking mechanism 26 have a link structure in which the arm member 43 and the locking member 37 are connected by a second support shaft 43b supported by the elongated hole 37b.

One end of the coil spring 44 is fixed to the partition plate 30, and the other end is fixed to the arm member 43. The coil spring 44 rotates the arm member 43 around the first support shaft 43a and urges the roller member 41 to move toward the outside of the case member 21.

Since the operating mechanism 27 has the roller member 41, the roller member 41 is heavenly, regardless of which side (front and back) of the bill storage device 14 is attached to or detached from the mounting portion 18 in the X direction. Since it rolls along the plate 18a, the top plate 18a makes it possible to smoothly push the roller member 41 into the case member 21. Therefore, the bill storage device 14 can support bidirectional attachment / detachment operations to the attachment portion 18, is not restricted in the attachment / detachment direction with respect to the attachment portion 18, and has a degree of freedom in the structure of the attachment portion 18 of the bill handling device 1.

It will be installed.

When the bill storage device 14 is mounted in the mounting portion 18 in this way, the roller member 41 moves downward, so that the arm member 43 moves around the first support shaft 43a against the urging force of the coil spring 44. As it rotates, the second support shaft 43b moves to the right side in FIG. 8 along the elongated hole 37b of the lock member 37. Therefore, the lock member 37 is rotated around the support shaft 37a as the second support shaft 43b of the arm member 43 moves along the elongated hole 37b, and is rotated along the lower end portion of the lock member 37. The plurality of arranged recesses 38 rise apart from the protrusions 36a of the engaging member 36 provided on the mounting table 22. By raising the plurality of recesses 38 of the lock member 37, the engagement state between the recess 38 and the protrusion 36a is released, and the restriction on the movement of the mounting table 22 by the lock member 37 is released.

As a result, the mounting table 22 becomes movable in the X direction, and by moving according to the accumulated amount of the banknotes 6 accumulated on the mounting table 22, the banknotes 6 can be stored in the storage space 21a.

The arm member 43 rotates, and the roller member 41 projects outward from the opening 21e of the case member 21.

When the roller member 41 moves upward in this way, the operating mechanism 27 rotates the arm member 43 around the first support shaft 43a by the urging force of the coil spring 44, and the second support shaft 43b is a lock member. It moves to the left side in FIG. 10 along the slotted hole 37b of 37. Therefore, the lock member 37 is rotated around the support shaft 37a as the second support shaft 43b of the arm member 43 moves along the elongated hole 37b, and is rotated along the lower end portion of the lock member 37. The plurality of arranged recesses 38 descend toward the protrusions 36a of the engaging member 36 provided on the mounting table 22. By lowering the plurality of recesses 38 of the lock member 37, the protrusions 36a enter into any of the recesses 38 according to the position of the mounting table 22, and the recesses 38 and the protrusions 36a engage with each other.

The mounting table 22 is provided so as to be movable along the horizontal direction (direction along the XY plane), and the mounting surface 22a on which the bills 6 are accumulated is inclined with respect to the vertical direction. When the mounting surface 22a of the mounting table 22 is inclined in this way, the bills 6 accumulated on the mounting surface 22a are easily disturbed, so that the locking mechanism 26 has a great effect of regulating the mounting table 22. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent the bills 6 accumulated on the mounting table 22 from being disturbed during the transportation of the bill storage device 14.
