[About the drive device] The drive device 32 includes one drive motor 49 and a first transmission mechanism 50 that opens and closes the shutter plate 10.
and a second transmission mechanism 51 that moves the pedestal 8.

The first transmission device 50 connects the drive motor 4
9 is connected to a friction clutch 53 via a belt 52, and a geared pulley 54 is disposed near the shutter plate 10, and a belt 55 is connected between the friction clutch 53 and the geared pulley 54. It is wound around a roller 56 and a tension pulley 56', and the gear of the geared pulley 54 is engaged with a rack 57 provided on the shutter plate 10. Therefore, the first transmission device 5
0, when the drive motor 49 rotates in the direction of the arrow (clockwise) (forward rotation), the pulley with gear 54 is rotated in the direction of the arrow (clockwise) via the friction clutch 53 and belts 52, 55. The gear of the attached pulley 54 moves upward on the rack 57, and the shutter plate 10 is opened.

Further, when the shutter plate 10 is locked by the shutter lock device 30, the friction clutch 53 slips and idles.

Further, the second transmission device 51 connects the first transmission device 5 to the drive motor 49 via a belt 52.
A friction clutch 58 different from 0 is connected,
Further, a roller 59 is disposed near the shutter plate 10, and further a roller 60 is disposed far away from the shutter plate 10 and in a direction opposite to the direction in which the pedestal 8 moves toward the dispensing port 9, A belt 6 is connected to the friction clutch 58 and the rollers 59 and 60.
1 is wound, and a belt 61 wound around the rollers 59 and 60 is parallel to the moving direction of the pedestal 8. Note that 62 indicates a tension pulley. An engaging pin 13 provided on the pedestal 8 is connected to the belt 61 via a connecting member 63. Therefore, in the second transmission device 51, when the drive motor 49 rotates (reversely) in the direction opposite to the direction of the arrow (counterclockwise), the belt 61 is rotated in the direction opposite to the direction of the arrow via the friction clutch 58 and the belt 52. The receiving table 8 is moved to the dispensing port 9 via the connecting member 63. In addition, the pedestal 8
When the engaging pin 13 is regulated by the position regulating device 31, the friction clutch 58 slips and spins idly.

Next, the operation of the paper sheet dispensing device configured as described above will be explained. First, as in the past, banknotes A are pulled out from the banknote stacker 1 by the suction head 2, counted and jammed banknotes are detected by the detector, and then placed on the pedestal 8 via the stacker 6. be done.

In this way, the desired number of banknotes A is placed on the pedestal 8.
When opening the shutter plate 10 after the shutter plate 10 is placed, the reciprocating mechanism 35 of the stopper mounting 33 operates, the stopper piece 36 retreats from the opening/closing path of the shutter plate 10, and the shutter plate 10 opens/closes. It becomes possible. After that, when the drive motor 49 rotates normally (rotates in the direction of the arrow), the friction clutch 53 and the belt 5
2 and 55, the geared pulley 54 is rotated in the direction of the arrow (clockwise), whereby the gear of the geared pulley 54 moves upward on the rack 57 and the shutter plate 10 is opened. At this time, the engagement pin 13 of the pedestal 8 hits and is locked against the second locking part 43 of the second regulating member 38 of the position regulating device 31, so that the friction clutch 58 slips and idles. , As a result, the pedestal 8 does not move.

In this manner, when the shutter plate 10 is opened, the stopper piece 36 of the stopper device 33 projects onto the opening/closing path of the shutter plate 10 and prevents the shutter plate 10 from closing. After that, when sending the pedestal 8 to the dispensing port 9, an operation signal is input to the reciprocating mechanism 40, and the plunger 41 moves the first regulating member 37 against the spring 42 to move the engagement pin 13 along the moving path. distance from. At this time, the engagement pin 13
Since the first regulating member 37 is not in contact with the first regulating member 37, the first regulating member 37 moves smoothly. After this,
When the drive motor 49 reverses (rotates in the direction opposite to the direction of the arrow), the friction clutch 58 and the belts 52, 6
1 and the connecting member 63, the pedestal 8 connects to the dispensing port 9.
sent to. At this time, the shutter plate 10 is
Since it abuts against and is locked against the stopper piece 36, the friction clutch 53 slips and idles, and as a result, the shutter plate 10 does not move.

After that, when the bill A is dispensed and the cradle 8 is taken in, the drive motor 49 rotates forward and the cradle 8 is taken in.
is taken in from the dispensing port 9, and the second regulating member 38 waits on the moving path of the engagement pin 13.
The engagement pin 13 abuts against the locking portion 43, and the movement of the pedestal 8 is stopped. At this time, the shutter plate 10
is about to be moved upward, but because it butts against the stopper member 34, the friction clutch 53 slips and spins in the same manner as described above. Furthermore, when the engagement pin 13 hits, the power supply to the reciprocating mechanism 40 of the first regulating member 37 is cut off, and the first regulating member 37 is returned to its original state by the spring 42.

After this, when closing the shutter plate 10, the stopper piece 36 of the stopper device 33 is first retracted from above the opening/closing passage of the shutter plate 10. At this time, since the shutter plate 10 is not in contact with the stopper piece 36, the above operation is performed smoothly.
After this, the drive motor 49 is reversely rotated and the shutter plate 10 is closed.

Note that if the detector 5 detects an abnormality in the banknote A placed on the cradle 8, the pedestal 8 is moved in the opposite direction to the payout opening 9 and the banknote A placed on the pedestal 8 is moved.
is dropped into the reject box 12. This operation will be explained below. First, when the reject signal is input to the reciprocating mechanism 44 of the second regulating member 38, the second regulating member 3
8 is separated from the moving path of the engagement pin 13, and then the drive motor 49 rotates forward to move the pedestal 8 in the direction opposite to the dispensing port 9. When the engagement pin 13 hits the stopper piece 48 in this manner, the drive motor 49 stops. At this time, the banknote A is dropped into the reject box 12. Thereafter, the drive motor 49 is reversed and the pedestal 8 is returned to its original position.

In addition, in the above embodiment, two belts 55, 6
1, the shutter plate 10 and the pedestal 8 are driven. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a friction clutch 53 is provided on a geared pulley to drive a single belt. 61 may be used.

"Effects of the Invention" As is clear from the above description, the present invention provides a shutter plate that is provided vertically movably along the direction of opening and closing a dispensing port for dispensing paper sheets, and a shutter plate provided at the dispensing port. a cradle that is horizontally movable along the approach direction or the opposite direction and on which paper sheets can be placed; a shutter lock device that restricts movement of the shutter plate in the opening/closing direction; It consists of a position regulating device that regulates movement, and a drive device that moves the shutter plate and the pedestal in each of the directions, and the drive device includes one drive motor that can rotate in both forward and reverse directions, and a drive motor that can rotate in both forward and reverse directions. The shutter lock device is comprised of a power transmission mechanism that transmits the driving force to the shutter plate and the pedestal, respectively, and a friction clutch that is provided in the middle of the power transmission mechanism to prevent the transmission of driving force above a certain level. is composed of a stopper piece that is movable in a direction that intersects the moving path of the shutter plate, and a reciprocating mechanism that moves the stopper piece, and the position regulating device is arranged so that the stopper piece is movable in a direction that intersects the moving path of the shutter plate. It consists of a regulating member that is movable between a position where the shutter plate is moved and a position where it is evacuated, and a reciprocating mechanism that moves the regulating member. It has a vertical edge that is brought into contact with the moving engagement pin, and a horizontal edge that is oriented along the movement trajectory of the engagement pin and restricts vertical movement of the engagement pin. Therefore, the movement of the shutter plate and the pedestal is forcibly stopped by moving the stopper piece and the regulating member into and out of the movement path of the shutter plate and the pedestal. Therefore, by rotating one drive source in the forward or reverse direction, the shutter plate can be moved in either direction to open or close, and the cradle can be moved in either direction. The shutter plate and the cradle are stopped at predetermined positions by selecting whether to move the shutter plate to the dispensing port or in the opposite direction, and by moving the stopper piece and the regulating member in and out. In addition, since these movements are controlled by the simple movement of the stopper piece and the regulating member, without controlling the motor itself, the device can be made more compact and costs can be reduced. This effect is achieved. In addition, since the regulating member is formed with a horizontal edge so that the engagement pin integrated with the pedestal slides thereon, the vertical movement of the pedestal is restricted to a certain range and stable horizontal movement is achieved. It has the effect of being able to.
