Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a paper sheet storage device, and particularly to a banknote storage mechanism for a deposit machine.

A conventional storage device for a deposit machine will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

When a customer inserts one bill to be deposited into deposit machine 1,
First, the authenticity of the inserted banknote is determined by the verification machine C.

The banknotes P that have been verified are fed onto the hollow frame-shaped holding plate 3 in the primary store chamber I by a supply roller (not shown).

The bill P is pushed down and passed through the hole in the holding plate by the pusher 4 which moves up and down in response to a command from the identification device C, and enters the secondary store chamber (2) located below the primary store chamber (2).

In the secondary store room, banknotes P are placed on a pair of belt conveyors 5 spaced apart from each other.

The number of banknotes P that entered the primary store chamber I in this way is 1
The sheets are stacked on the belt conveyor 5 in the secondary storage room.

A banknote storage safe 6 is further provided below the secondary store room ■, and when the customer presses a deposit decision button (not shown), the banknotes accumulated on the belt conveyor 5 are transferred to the banknote storage 4. Activate the button 30 provided separately from the belt conveyor 5.5 and push it down to the safe 6.
Store in.

The safe 6 has a rectangular opening slightly smaller than the area of the banknotes at the top, and a receiving plate 7 and a spring 8 are arranged inside.

The stacked banknotes pushed down as described above are 3
0, the receiver passes through the opening of the safe and rests on the plate 7, the spring 8 bends and the receiver once descends together with the plate, and when the pusher 30 rises, the top edge of the paper ends at the peripheral edge 9 near the opening. It is caught and securely stored in the safe 6.

If the customer changes his or her intention to deposit banknotes during or after inserting banknotes and wishes to return the banknotes, he or she presses a return button (not shown) to perform the return operation.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 2, the belt conveyors 5, 5 in the secondary store room and the feed roller 10 that cooperates with the belt conveyors 5, 5 are rotated in the discharge direction (direction of arrow X).
The banknotes P accumulated on the top are sent out toward the return slot.

In this case, since the banknotes are stacked from the bottom in the order in which they were inserted, each customer can confirm the banknotes that he or she has inserted.

The above-mentioned pusher 4 consists of a shaft 11 and a rectangular push plate 12 fixed to the lower end of the shaft 11. A rack 13 is attached to the middle of the shaft 11, and the rack is meshed with a pinion 15 fixed to a pulse motor or a forward/reverse motor 14. .

The pulse motor 14 operates according to a command from the identification device C, and the busher 4 operates once per bill inserted into the primary store chamber I.
It rotates up and down to drop the banknotes into the secondary storage chamber.

The bushing 30 has the same or similar structure to the bushing 4, but differs in that the vertical movement is performed by button operation.

When a banknote is fed into the primary store chamber I by the supply roller, the inner width of the both-side guide portions 16 (FIG. 3) is adjusted to fit a 10,000 yen banknote having a wide middle shell.

(Note: The width dimensions of each banknote are 84 m for a 10,000 yen bill, 80 i for a 5,000 yen bill, and 76 mr/L for a 1,000 yen bill.) Therefore, the guide section 16
When a small banknote or a wrinkled banknote is fed into the guide section, it shifts to one side within the guide section, and when the pusher 4 is pushed down in this state, it curves as shown by the dotted line P in the figure and finally ends up at the dotted line P2.
It is caught on the holding plate 3 as shown in .

If the push-down stroke of the pusher 4 is made uniform, the above-mentioned problem can be eliminated, but if the stroke is made smaller in consideration of increasing the speed of the device, the phenomenon of bill getting caught is unavoidable.

Once the bill gets caught, the bill that gets caught remains on the holding plate without being knocked down into the secondary store chamber (2), thereby obstructing the supply of subsequent bills.

The present invention has been developed in consideration of the above-mentioned drawbacks, and the stroke of the pusher is made smaller in consideration of the higher speed of the device.Moreover, the stroke of the pusher is linked to the vertical movement of the pusher to ensure that the banknotes are knocked off from the primary door chamber. When implemented, the equipment will be provided.

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiment shown in FIG.

Components common to those in FIGS. 1 to 3 are designated by the same reference numerals.

As described above in FIG.
The bushing 40 is engaged with a pinion 15 attached to the rotating shaft of No. 4, and the bushing 40 moves up and down in response to commands from the identification device C.

A portion of the busher 40 below the rack 13 portion is formed into a tapered portion 17 and a reduced diameter portion 18 whose diameter is reduced downward.

In this embodiment, a similar holding plate 3 is not provided, and instead, a pair of U-shaped links 20 having guide rollers 19 and a pair of bell crank-shaped holding members 22 each having an L-shaped T floor 21 on the lower side are provided. It will be done.

One end of the U-shaped link 20 is pivotally connected to a stationary part of the device via a fixed pivot 23, and the other end is pivoted to the upper part of a bell crank-shaped holding member 22.

The bell crank holding member 222 has the intersecting part of the two sides attached to the fixed shaft 2.
4 to the stationary part of the device.

The pair of guide rollers 19, 19 are always pressed against the reduced diameter portion 18 of the bushing 40 by known means such as springs.

Therefore, when the bushing 40 is pushed down toward one bill placed on the L-shaped lower floor 21.21, the pressure contact point of the guide trochanter 19.19 against the bushing moves from the reduced diameter part 18 to the tapered part 17.
As the pressure welding width increases, the U-shaped link 20
The outer part of .degree. 20 is lowered and moved accordingly to spread out the bellcrank-shaped retaining members 22, 22 and the L-shaped lower floor 21, 21 and knock down the banknotes into the secondary store chamber.

U-shaped link 20.20 and bell crank-shaped holding member 2
The change in motion in step 2 is shown with an imaginary line.

The L-shaped lower floor 21 supporting the banknotes opens outward following the downward movement of the pusher 40, and since there is no supporting part below the banknotes when fully opened, the banknotes will not get caught on the lower floor. There is no such movement, and the downward movement is smooth, making it easy to reduce the stroke.

When the transfer of banknotes is completed, the pusher 40 rises and the L-shaped lower floor 21 returns to its original position following this movement, and the same movement cycle is repeated thereafter.

To knock the banknotes from the secondary store chamber into the storage safe 6, another button (not shown) is used as in FIG.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, in the bill storage device, it is possible to completely eliminate the possibility of bills getting caught when bills are knocked down from the primary storage chamber to the secondary storage chamber, and Since there is no need to press down excessively compared to the conventional case, there is an effect that the vertical movement stroke of the bushing can be made smaller.
