  Further, the non-reflux box 50 and the reflux boxes 60, 61, 62 have the same outer shape, and the banknote entrances (or entrances) of the boxes are provided at a common position. Therefore, the positions of the boxes can be exchanged with each other without using software settings or dip switch (not shown) settings.

  The denominations of banknotes stored in the reflux boxes 60, 61, 62 can also be set by software, dip switch settings, or the like, and banknotes of the same denomination may be stored in a plurality of reflux boxes.

  The deposit / withdrawal port 20, the determination unit 30, the temporary storage 40, the non-reflux box 50, and the reflux boxes 60, 61, 62 are transport paths 70, 71, 72, 73, 74 for transporting banknotes. , 75, 76, 77a to 77d. These transport paths 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77a to 77d are driven by a drive source (not shown). In addition, the drive source of each transport path may be a separate drive source, or a plurality of transport paths may be collectively driven by a single drive source. Further, gates 80 to 84 are provided at the branch points of the respective transport paths.

  The conveyance path 70 is a conveyance path that conveys banknotes stored in the depositing portion of the deposit / withdrawal port 20 in the direction of the conveyance path 71. The conveyance path 71 is a conveyance path that conveys banknotes between the identification unit 30 and the gate 80. The conveyance paths 72 and 73 are conveyance paths for conveying banknotes between the identification unit 30 and the temporary storage unit 40, and the conveyance path 72 is arranged on the identification unit 30 side, and the conveyance path 73 is on the temporary storage unit 40 side. Placed in. The conveyance paths 74 and 75 are branched from the conveyance path 73 and convey the banknotes to the withdrawal portion of the deposit / withdrawal port 20. The conveyance path 74 deposits / withdraws the banknotes conveyed from the temporary storage 40 side. The paper is transported to the withdrawal unit of the mouth 20, and the transport path 75 transports the banknotes transported from the identification unit 30 side to the withdrawal unit of the deposit / withdrawal port 20. The conveyance directions of the conveyance paths 72 to 75 are switched by the gate 81. The conveyance paths 76 and 77a to 77d are conveyance paths that convey bills between the gate 80, the non-reflux box 50, and the reflux boxes 60, 61, and 62. Storage of banknotes in the non-reflux box 50 and the reflux boxes 60, 61, 62 and feeding of banknotes from the reflux boxes 60, 61, 62 are switched by gates 82 to 84.

  The conveyance paths 71, 72, 73, 76, 77b, 77c, and 77d (conveyance paths indicated by solid lines in FIG. 2A) are bidirectional conveyance paths that convey bills bidirectionally. On the other hand, the conveyance paths 70, 74, 75, and 77a (conveyance paths indicated by dotted lines in FIG. 2A) are unidirectional conveyance paths that convey bills in one direction. The conveyance direction of a banknote is a direction shown by the arrow in Fig.2 (a).

  The one-way transport path can be transported bi-directionally in terms of structure even if it is a transport path capable of transporting banknotes only in one direction. However, the one-way transport path may be a transport path set to transport banknotes in only one direction. . In the latter case, all of the transport paths 70, 74, 75 and 77a may be bidirectional transport paths.

  On each conveyance path, a conveyance path sensor (not shown) for detecting the presence of banknotes is provided. The conveyance path sensor includes, for example, an infrared light emitting unit and an infrared light receiving unit provided at a position facing the infrared light emitting unit across the conveyance path. By detecting the light, the presence of the banknote is detected.

  FIG. 2B is a block diagram showing the control relationship of the banknote handling apparatus 101. The banknote handling apparatus 101 includes a deposit / withdrawal port 20, an identification unit 30, a temporary storage 40, a non-reflux box 50, reflux boxes 60, 61, 62, conveyance paths 70 to 77d, and gates 80 to 84. , And a storage unit 90. Each of these mechanisms and components is connected to the control unit 95 and performs necessary operations under the control of the control unit 95. That is, the control part 95 receives the instruction | command from the main body control part 107 via the bus | bath 106 of the automatic teller machine 1, and controls each mechanism and component based on the said instruction | command.

  The storage unit 90 is, for example, a RAM (Random Access Memory) or the like, and stores the identification information (denomination information, authenticity information, status information) of the paper sheet determined by the identification unit 30 and each paper sheet. Stores unique information (eg serial number printed on paper).

  Next, a bill deposit / withdrawal operation will be described. The banknote depositing / withdrawing operation includes an operation of depositing a banknote inserted by a user into a banknote depositing / dispensing machine (a depositing operation) and an operation of depositing a banknote stored in the banknote depositing / dispensing machine to a user (withdrawal) Gold operation). The depositing operation includes an operation of counting banknotes inserted by the user (deposit counting operation) and an operation of storing the counted banknotes in the non-reflux box 50 and the reflux boxes 60, 61, 62 (deposit storing operation). And divided.

  Detailed processing in the deposit counting operation is as follows. The bill handling apparatus 101 separates bills inserted into the deposit / withdrawal port 20 via the bill slot 101a one by one. Thereafter, the separated banknotes are passed through the banknote conveyance paths 70 and 71, and the identification unit 30 acquires the identification information and unique information of the banknotes. If it can be recognized as a banknote, the banknote is temporarily stored in the temporary storage 40 via the banknote transport paths 72 and 73. When it cannot recognize as a banknote, or when it becomes an inclination abnormality or the space | interval abnormality between banknotes, a banknote is conveyed to the deposit or withdrawal port 20 via the banknote conveyance paths 72 and 75, and it returns to a user. When the banknote is returned to the deposit / withdrawal port 20, a screen for instructing the user to reinsert the banknote is displayed on the customer operation unit 103.

  Detailed processing in the deposit storing operation is as follows. When the transaction is confirmed after the deposit counting operation, the banknotes stored in the temporary storage 40 are passed through the banknote transport paths 73 and 72 and passed through the banknote determination unit 30. Thereafter, the banknotes are stored in one of the non-reflux box 50 and the reflux boxes 60, 61, 62 through the banknote transport paths 71, 76, 77a to d. At this time, the banknote transport paths 77 a to 77 d and the switching gates 82 to 84 are controlled, and the banknotes are stored in the banknote storage corresponding to the identification result of the identification unit 30. With respect to the banknotes stored in the temporary storage 40, the depositing operation is completed when these depositing and storing operations are completed. If the transaction is canceled after the deposit counting operation, the banknotes stored in the temporary storage 40 are routed through the banknote transport paths 74 and 75, transported to the deposit / withdrawal port 20, and returned to the user. .

  Detailed processing in the dispensing operation is as follows. The banknote handling apparatus 101 feeds a predetermined number of banknotes from the reflux boxes 60, 61, 62, passes the banknote transport paths 77 b to 77 d, 76, 71, and acquires the banknote identification information and unique information. When the banknote is not a reject banknote, the banknote is conveyed to the deposit / withdrawal port 20 through the banknote transport paths 72 and 75. On the other hand, when the banknote is a reject banknote, the banknote is transported to the temporary storage 40 via the banknote transport paths 72 and 73. When the banknote of the amount designated by the user is conveyed from the reflux boxes 60, 61, 62 to the deposit / withdrawal port 20, the banknote slot 101a is opened, and the banknote is dispensed to the user. After the banknotes withdrawn by the user are taken out, the banknotes stored in the temporary storage 40 are stored in the non-reflux box 50 via the banknote transport paths 73, 72, 71, 76, 77a.

  Then, the detailed structure of the temporary storage 40 is demonstrated using FIGS.

  FIG. 3 is a side view showing the configuration of the temporary storage 40. The temporary storage 40 has a tape 401, a scraper 402 which is a peeling mechanism of the tape 401, idler rollers 403 and 404 arranged for adjusting the arrangement and tension of the tape, and a state in which banknotes are placed on the tape 401. 405, a reel 406 that takes up only the tape 401, rollers 407a and 407b that transport bills, an auxiliary roller 408, and a guide roller 409 that guides the tape 401 and bills to the wheel 405. .

  The banknotes guided to the temporary storage 40 via the transport path 73 are transported into the temporary storage 40 with the short direction as the transport direction. The temporary storage 40 uses a single tape 401, and a wheel 405 and a reel 406 are provided at both ends of the tape. The wheel 405 and the reel 406 are given a rotational driving force by a driving motor (414 in FIGS. 4 to 6 and 9).

  When banknotes are stored in the temporary storage 40, the banknotes pass between the rollers 407a and 407b from the transport path 73 and are transported onto the tape 401. By rotating the wheel 405, the auxiliary roller 408 and the tape 401 are used. The banknote is conveyed, and the banknote is wound around the wheel 405 together with the tape 401.

  On the other hand, when the banknote is released from the temporary storage 40, the reel 406 takes up the tape 401, and the banknote wound around the wheel 405 together with the tape 401 is released from the wheel 405. At this time, the wheel 405 and the guide roller 409 impart waveform deformation to the banknote, and the banknote sandwiched between the auxiliary roller 408 and the tape 401 is discharged from the temporary storage 40 and transported to the transport path 73.

A scraper 402 is in contact with the wheel 405 at a predetermined pressure. A banknote released from the wheel 405 is wound around the wheel 405 and discharged along the outer periphery of the wheel 405. In such a case, if the rollers 407a and 407b cannot receive the banknote discharged from the wheel 405, it causes a paper jam. In order to prevent such bill conveyance jamming, the scraper 402 peels the bills released along the outer periphery of the wheel 405 from the outer periphery of the wheel 405 and guides it in the direction of the rollers 407a and 407b. Thereafter, the banknote is separated from the tape 401 by the rollers 407 a and 407 b and delivered to the conveyance path 73. The tape 401 passes through idler rollers 404 and 403 and is wound around a reel 406.
Next, the drive system of the temporary storage 40 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of the drive system of the temporary storage 40. The shafts 410 and 411 are rotatably supported with respect to the side plates 415a and 415b. The shafts 412 and 413 are supported so as to be rotatable with respect to the side plates 415c and 415d. Of these shafts, the shafts 412 and 413 are supported via torque limiters 416 and 417, respectively.

  A gear 419, a timing pulley 420, a movable transmission portion 424 that is a movable portion, and a fixed driven portion 426 that is a fixed portion are attached to the shaft 410. The gear 419 is attached to the shaft 410 in a fixed state, and a driving force is transmitted from the gear 418 of the motor 414. The timing pulley 420 is attached in a state of being fixed to the shaft 410, and transmits a driving force to the timing pulley 421 attached in a state of being fixed to the shaft 411 via the timing belt 422. The movable transmission portion 424 is attached so as to be rotatable with respect to the shaft 410 and movable in the axial direction (left-right direction in FIG. 4), and is fixed by frictional force by contacting the fixed driven portion 426. A driving force is transmitted to the driven portion 426. The fixed follower 426 is attached to the shaft 410 so as to be rotatable, and transmits a driving force to a gear 428 attached to the shaft 413 in a fixed state.

  A timing pulley 421, a movable transmission unit 423 that is a movable unit, and a fixed driven unit 425 that is a fixed unit are attached to the shaft 411. The timing pulley 421 is attached in a state of being fixed to the shaft 411, and a driving force is transmitted from the timing pulley 420 attached in a state of being fixed to the shaft 410 via the timing belt 422. The movable transmission part 423 is attached so as to be rotatable with respect to the shaft 411 and movable in the axial direction (left-right direction in FIG. 4), and is fixed by frictional force by contacting the fixed driven part 425. Driving force is transmitted to the follower 425. The fixed follower 425 is attached to the shaft 411 so as to be rotatable, and transmits a driving force to a gear 427 attached to the shaft 412 in a fixed state.

  Further, the movable transmission portion 423 (424) is attached with a coil spring 429 (430) that is an elastic member that imparts an elastic force in the axial direction, and when the movable transmission portion 423 (424) moves in the axial direction. The elastic force in the direction opposite to the moving direction is applied. Both ends of the coil spring 429 (430) are fixed to a shaft 435 attached to the side plate 415b, and the coil spring 429 (430) is attached to the shaft 435. Moreover, the movable transmission part 423 (424) has a long hole 431 (432) provided so as to be inclined with respect to the shaft 411 (410) and a pin provided so as to penetrate the long hole 431 (432). 433 (434). Thereby, the moving amount | distance to the axial direction of the movable transmission part 423 (424) is restrict | limited to a fixed amount.

  A wheel 405 and a gear 427 are attached to the shaft 412 in a state of being fixed to the shaft 412. Further, a reel 406 and a gear 428 are attached to the shaft 413 in a state of being fixed to the shaft 413.

  That is, the temporary storage 40 which is a banknote storage for storing banknotes and discharging banknotes is attached to the tape 401 and the shaft 412 which is the first shaft, and is wound in a state where the tape 401 and the banknotes are overlapped. A wheel 405 to be taken, a reel 406 which is attached to a shaft 413 which is a second shaft and takes up only the tape 401, a motor 414 which is a driving means for applying a driving force to one of the reel 406 and the wheel 405, and a motor Drive transmission means for transmitting the driving force of 414 (first drive switching means for switching transmission and interruption of the driving force of the motor 414 to the shaft 412 and transmission and interruption of the driving force of the motor 414 to the shaft 413 Including a second drive switching unit for switching) according to the operation direction (rotation direction) of the motor 414, the first drive switching unit or the second drive switching unit. Either it is possible to transmit the driving force of the motor 414. The detailed operation of each mechanism in transmitting and blocking the driving force of the motor 414 to the shafts 412 and 413 will be described later.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of the drive system when winding the tape 401 around the reel 406 of the temporary storage 40. When the motor 414 rotates in the direction of arrow A, the driving force of the motor 414 is transmitted to the shaft 410 via the gears 418 and 419, and the shaft 410 rotates in the direction of arrow B. The movable transmission part 424 receives the elastic force (resistance) in the rotational direction from the coil spring 430 and tries to stay at the current position. However, as described above, since the elongated hole 432 is provided on the side surface of the movable transmission portion 424 and the pin 434 is provided so as to penetrate the elongated hole 432, the movable transmission portion 424 is movable when the shaft 410 rotates in the direction of arrow B. The transmission unit 424 moves toward the fixed follower 426 (in the direction of arrow C).

  When the pin 434 moves to the end of the elongated hole 432, the movable transmission part 424 is designed to contact the fixed driven part 426, and when the movable transmission part 424 contacts the fixed driven part 426, the rotational torque of the shaft 410 Is transmitted to the movable transmission portion 424 through the pin 434 and the elongated hole 432. Since this rotational torque is larger than the elastic force (resistance) in the rotational direction from the coil spring 230, the movable transmission portion 424 rotates together with the shaft 410. Since the movable transmission unit 424 is in contact with and coupled to the fixed driven unit 426, the rotational torque of the movable transmission unit 424 is transmitted to the fixed driven unit 426 by frictional force.

  The rotational torque in the rotational direction of motor 414 (the direction of arrow A) is transmitted to shaft 411 via timing belt 422 and timing pulley 421. At this time, the movable transmission portion 423 moves to the opposite side (in the direction of arrow D) from the fixed driven portion 425 on the same principle as the movable transmission portion 424, so that the rotational torque is not transmitted to the fixed driven portion 425.

  The rotational torque of the fixed driven portion 426 is transmitted to the shaft 413 via the gear 428, and when the torque exceeds the set torque of the torque limiter 416, the shaft 413 rotates in the direction in which the reel 406 winds the tape 401. When the reel 406 starts to wind the tape 401, a tension is applied to the tape 401, so that a rotational torque is applied to the wheel 405. When this rotational torque exceeds the set torque of the torque limiter 417, the wheel 405 starts to rotate in the direction in which the tape 401 is released. By the action of the torque limiter 417, the tape 401 can stably convey the banknote without loosening.

  After the completion of winding of the tape 401 by the reel 406 is detected by a sensor or the like (not shown), the motor 414 is stopped. When the motor 414 is stopped, the operations of the shaft 413 and the reel 406 are also stopped. At this time, the tension applied to the tape 401 is lost, and the operations of the shaft 412 and the wheel 405 are also stopped.

  FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram of a drive system when the tape 401 and the banknote are wound around the wheel 405 of the temporary storage 40. When the motor 414 rotates in the direction of arrow E, the driving force of the motor 414 is transmitted to the shaft 410 via the gears 418 and 419, and the shaft 410 rotates in the direction of arrow F. The rotational torque in the rotational direction of motor 414 (the direction of arrow E) is transmitted to shaft 411 via timing belt 422 and timing pulley 421. Here, the movable transmission part 423 moves to the fixed driven part 425 side (in the direction of the arrow G) on the same principle as when the tape 401 is wound around the reel 406 of the temporary storage 40 (see FIG. 5). It contacts the fixed follower 425. The rotational torque of the movable transmission unit 423 is transmitted to the fixed driven unit 425 by the frictional force.

  At this time, the movable transmission unit 424 moves to the opposite side (in the direction of arrow H) from the fixed driven unit 426 on the same principle as the movable transmission unit 423, so that the rotational torque is not transmitted to the fixed driven unit 426.

  The rotational torque of the fixed follower 425 is transmitted to the shaft 412 via the gear 427. When the torque exceeds the set torque of the torque limiter 417, the shaft 412 rotates in the direction in which the wheel 405 winds the tape 401. When the wheel 405 starts to wind the tape 401, a tension is applied to the tape 401, so that a rotational torque is applied to the reel 406. When this rotational torque exceeds the set torque of the torque limiter 416, the reel 406 starts to rotate in the direction in which the tape 401 is released. By the action of the torque limiter 416, the tape 401 can stably convey the banknote without loosening.

  After the banknote winding is completed, the motor 414 is stopped. When the motor 414 is stopped, the operation of the shaft 412 and the wheel 405 is also stopped. At this time, the tension applied to the tape 401 is lost, and the operations of the shaft 413 and the reel 406 are also stopped.

  As an effect of the present embodiment, an inexpensive and small temporary storage can be realized by using a movable transmission part and a coil spring without using an inexpensive electromagnetic clutch and a one-way clutch having a large number of parts. It becomes possible.

In addition, a present Example is not limited above, For example, the following modifications can be applied.
(1) Tape-type banknote storage In the above embodiment, the temporary storage 40 has been described as an example. However, not only the temporary storage 40 but also a banknote storage (for example, reflux) that stores banknotes and discharges banknotes. The present embodiment can be adopted as long as it is a box 60, 61, 62).
(2) Transmission of driving force between the movable transmission portion and the fixed driven portion In the above embodiment, transmission of the driving force between the movable transmission portion 423 (424) and the fixed driven portion 425 (426) is performed by a friction clutch. Although a method is used, other methods may be applied.

  For example, instead of the movable transmission part 423 (424) and the fixed driven part 425 (426), as shown in FIG. 7A, a movable transmission part 436 provided with an acute claw part and a fixed driven part 437 are used. Thus, a system using a meshing clutch that meshes with a claw portion having an acute angle may be used.

  Since the transmission torque per transmission area is large by adopting the mesh clutch system, the movable transmission part and the fixed driven part can be reduced in size. Furthermore, considering the direction of rotation, the direction of rotation you want to rotate is a small pressure angle, and the direction you don't want to rotate is a large pressure angle, which increases the slip limit in the direction of rotation. It is possible to make a highly reliable structure that can easily cut off power immediately.

  Further, instead of the movable transmission portion 423 (424), the fixed driven portion 425 (426), and the gear 427 (428), as shown in FIG. 7B, the movable transmission portion 438 and a gear which are bevel gears are used. 439 and the fixed follower may be omitted. By not providing the fixed follower, the number of parts can be reduced, so that the cost can be reduced.

  Further, a plate spring may be used instead of the coil spring as the resistance in the rotational direction of the movable transmission portion 423 (424).

  Further, instead of providing the long hole 431 (432) and the pin 433 (434), a long hole is provided obliquely on the side surface of the shaft 411 (410), and the movable transmission portion 423 (424) is supported by the pin. good.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the two movable transmission parts 423 and 424 may be arranged so as to be opposite to each other with respect to the passage surfaces of the two fixed driven parts 425 and 426. That is, when comparing the movable transmission portion 423 and the fixed driven portion 425, the fixed driven portion 425 is provided on the side close to the side plate 415a, and comparing the movable transmission portion 424 and the fixed driven portion 426, the movable transmission portion 424 is provided. Is provided on the side close to the side plate 415a. By adopting such a configuration, the movable transmission unit 423 and the movable transmission unit 424 can use common parts, so that the cost can be reduced.
