Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (1) Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for processing paper sheets such as banknotes, and in particular to a recycling type deposit/disburse machine that reuses deposited banknotes as payment banknotes. The present invention relates to a recycling-type paper sheet processing device.

(2) Technical background In recent years, banknote processing devices such as automatic cash dispensers and automatic deposit machines have been widely used to streamline bank counter operations, and deposit and withdrawal machines that have both payment and deposit functions are also being used recently. has been done. However, conventional deposit/withdrawal machines have separate storage areas for deposited banknotes and payment banknotes, and therefore the space of the storage area becomes large, resulting in an increase in the size of the device. For this reason, recycling-type deposit/disburse machines have recently been proposed that are configured to reuse deposited banknotes as payment banknotes.

As an example of a recycling-type paper sheet processing device such as a recycling-type deposit/withdrawal machine, paper sheets stored in a batch in an input slot are fed out one by one and conveyed, and after the type and front and back sides are distinguished in a discrimination section, , all the sheets are stored in the first storage section with their front and back sides aligned, and then they are taken out one by one from the first storage section and conveyed to the storage section, and stored in a plurality of storage containers by type, and once stored. Some devices are configured to unwind paper sheets one by one from the storage container, transport them, temporarily store them in a second storage section, and then transport them all at once to a delivery port.

However, in such a paper sheet processing device, there is a mechanism for storing paper sheets in a storage section with the front and back sides aligned (front and back alignment mechanism), a mechanism for feeding out paper sheets one by one (feeding mechanism), Conveyance mechanisms (conveyance mechanisms) have conventionally had problems as described below, and countermeasures are desired.

(3) Prior Art and Problems First, regarding the front and back alignment mechanism, there are two conventional methods as follows. The first method is to use two gates, for example, front paper leaves enter the storage unit from the first gate with their faces intact, and back paper leaves enter the storage unit after being turned face up through the second gate. The present applicant has proposed a method (Japanese Patent Application No. 77647-1983). However, the configuration proposed by this proposal has the disadvantage that when paper sheets are continuously conveyed, the paper sheets enter the storage section from the first gate and the second gate at the same time due to the difference in the length of the conveyance path, and the storage is disturbed. Furthermore, since two gates are used, there is a problem that the structure becomes complicated.

The second method is to divide the storage section into two parts, put the front paper sheets in one part and the back paper sheets in the other, and then somehow invert one or the other storage part so that both parts are separated. This method combines the paper sheets in the storage section and aligns the front and back sides (Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 1982-92690). However, this method requires a complicated mechanism for inversion and merging.

Next, regarding the feeding mechanism, conventionally it generally consists of a pick roller, a feeding roller and a separator placed opposite to it, a capstan roller (acceleration roller), and a pinch roller in contact with these rollers (Unexamined Japanese Patent Publication No. Publication No. 1134 of 1982). However, in the conventional configuration, the capstan roller is provided separately from the feeding roller, and requires a large amount of space. Therefore, as mentioned above, when paper sheets are fed out from a plurality of storage containers and merged into a common conveyance path, a particularly large amount of wasted space is created, which leads to an increase in the size of the storage section, and thus the overall size of the device. is bringing.

Furthermore, regarding the conveyance mechanism, in the past, the conveyance path was generally defined by a guide or a belt, and in the case of a guide type, the paper sheet was conveyed directly by rollers (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No.
1135), and in the case of a belt system, the belt is driven by a roller to convey paper sheets indirectly (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 85967/1983). However, in the conventional configuration, the conveyance path includes many direct portions. In this case, there are problems such as a paper sheet having a tendency to bend gets caught in a guide or the like and jams occur, or the amount of skew increases.

(4) Purpose of the Invention The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art in the recycling-type paper sheet processing apparatus, specifically, to provide a mechanism for aligning the front and back sides of paper sheets, a feeding mechanism, and a conveyance mechanism. The object of the present invention is to provide an improved structure of the mechanism.

(5) Structure of the Invention According to the present invention, in the recycling-type paper sheet processing apparatus as described above, the paper sheet front and back alignment mechanism connects the paper sheet transport path to the paper sheet transport path at the front stage of the first storage section.
A gate is arranged to branch out, and a first loading path allows paper sheets facing up to be transported into the first storage section from an upper loading entrance on one side thereof, and a first loading path allows paper sheets facing down to be reversed to face up. A second loading path is formed in the first storage section through which paper sheets are loaded from the lower loading entrance on the opposite side thereof, and the length of the first storage section in the paper sheet loading direction is longer than the length of the paper sheets in the loading direction. rotating rollers that rotate in the same direction and are provided with elements around their peripheries that strike the rear ends of paper sheets to be carried in, respectively at an upper carry-in port on one side and a lower carry-in port on the opposite side of the first storage section; The rear end of sheets carried in from the upper entrance on one side is knocked down by the rotating roller of the entrance, and the paper sheets brought in from the lower entrance on the opposite side are pushed down by the rotating rollers at the entrance. The rear end is thrown up by a rotating roller, so that it is deposited in an inclined state in the first storage section, and further from the gates of the first and second loading paths to the respective loading entrances of the first storage section. The distances between the two are made equal to each other.

With the above configuration, the conveyance path of individual paper sheets that have passed through the classification section with both front and back sides mixed is switched at the two-branch gate based on the signal resulting from the classification, and paper sheets with the front side placed in the storage section are placed with the front side in the storage section. From above,
In addition, the paper sheets that are facing down are turned over, turned face up, and carried into the storage section from below, and in the process, the rear end is knocked down or knocked up, and in this case, the storage section in the paper sheet carrying direction Since the length of the sheets is shorter than that of the paper sheets, they are piled up in parallel at diagonal positions within the storage section. Since the front banknote transport path and the back banknote transport path have the same length, the banknotes are carried into the storage unit in the order in which they reach the branch gate position and the interval between arrivals at the gates, and are deposited in the storage unit.

Further, according to the present invention, in the recycling type paper sheet processing apparatus as described above, the paper sheet feeding device
A feeding roller is attached via a one-way clutch to a drive shaft driven by a reciprocatable motor, a pinch roller with a slightly larger diameter than the feeding roller is rotatably provided on the driving shaft, and a separate roller is attached to the feeding roller. A capstan roller is disposed in contact with the pinch roller, and a pinch roller is further provided with a pinch roller driven by a belt by the drive shaft.

With the above configuration, when the motor is driven in normal rotation, the payout roller and the pick roller rotate, and the first bill in the canister is fed out, and the second and subsequent bills are separated from the stopped pink roller and a separate roller that rotates in the opposite direction. The tip of the bill fed out is immediately captured between the capstan roller and the pinch roller, fed into the conveyance mechanism, and then conveyed by the conveyance roller. Here, if the feeding is defective, the motor is rotated in reverse/forward rotation and the trial is performed again.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, in the recycling-type paper sheet processing apparatus as described above, the paper sheet conveying mechanism is formed by bending the conveying path at a pitch shorter than the length of the paper sheet in the conveying direction, and is configured so that it is always transported in a bent state in the transport direction.

Since the above-mentioned mechanism is provided, the paper sheets passing through the conveyance path are always conveyed while undulating in a waveform, and the rigidity in the direction perpendicular to the conveyance direction is increased. Folds can also be corrected. For this reason, it is possible to prevent jams and skew from occurring during conveyance.

(6) Embodiments of the invention Examples of the invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a recycle type depositing and dispensing machine which is an embodiment of the present invention. First, its overall configuration and operation will be explained. In Figure 1, 1 is a bill slot, 1a
2 is a banknote feeding mechanism; 3 is a first banknote discriminating unit; 4 is a banknote front and back alignment unit; 5 is a first banknote dispensing mechanism;
, 6 is a banknote feeding mechanism, 7 is a second banknote discrimination unit, 8 (-1, -2, -3) are canisters for 5,000 yen banknotes, 1,000 yen banknotes, and 10,000 yen banknotes, respectively; 9 1 is a rigid box, 10 is a banknote storage mechanism, 11 is a banknote feeding mechanism, 12 is a second storage section, 13, 14, 15 are banknote transport mechanisms, 16, 1
7, 18, 19, 20, and 21 indicate gates.

First, in the case of a deposit transaction, the banknotes A that have been collectively inserted into the slot 1 are fed out one by one by the feeding mechanism 2, and then conveyed by the conveying mechanism 13 as shown by solid arrows. Then, the first discrimination section 3 discriminates the true size, denomination, amount, front and back of the banknote, and the data is stored in a computer (not shown). If counterfeit bills, etc. are included, they are transferred to the transport mechanism 14 through the gate 16, sent to the second storage section 12 as indicated by the dotted line arrow, and sent out to the input slot 1 by the transport mechanism 15. Ru. On the other hand, the genuine bills are subsequently sent to the front and back alignment mechanism 4 by the conveyance mechanism 13, where all the bills are aligned with their front and back sides and stored in the first storage section 5, as will be described in detail later. If there is a mistake in counting the amount here, or if the transaction person presses the operation button to cancel the transaction, the stored banknotes will be transferred all at once to the hopper 5a, and from there the banknotes will be fed out one by one by the feeding mechanism 6. They are then sent to the second storage section by the transport mechanism 14 as shown by the dotted arrow, and then returned all at once to the input port 1 in the same manner as described above.

On the other hand, when the trader presses the operation button for the transaction, the hopper is fed out from the hopper 5a and transferred to the transport mechanism 1.
After the denomination and the like of the banknotes conveyed by the banknotes 4 are reconfirmed by the second discrimination unit 7, the banknotes are fed into the storage unit by the gate 17. Those determined to be defective upon reconfirmation are stored in the reject box 9 via the gate 18. On the other hand, normal banknotes are gate 1
9, 20, 21 by denomination (5,000, 1,000, 10,000)
The storage mechanism 10 stores them in canisters 8-1, 8-2, and 8-3, respectively. This completes the deposit transaction.

Next, in the case of a payment transaction, the banknotes of the denomination corresponding to the amount desired by the transaction person are placed in canisters 8-1 and 8.
-2, 8-3 are fed out one by one by the feeding mechanism 11, and conveyed by the conveying mechanism 14 in the direction shown by the white arrow. After the amount of the payment banknotes is confirmed by the second discrimination section 7, the bills are fed into the second storage section 12, and transported all at once to the input slot 1 by the transport mechanism 15, where they are paid to the transaction person. This completes the payment transaction.

Next, the banknote front and back alignment mechanism 4 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. In Figure 2, code 3
0 indicates a gate, and 31 to 37 indicate feed rollers. The conveyance path of the conveyance mechanism 13 includes feed rollers 32 and 3.
3 contact point P ₁ to two conveyance paths 13a, 13b
It is branched into. One conveyance path 13a is a front banknote loading path that passes between the feed rollers 34 and 35 and reaches the entrance _P2 at the upper left side of the storage section 5 (described above).
The other conveyance path 13b is an inlet path for back banknotes that goes around the feed rollers 36 and 37 and reaches the entrance _P3 at the lower right side of the storage section 5. Then, the branch point P ₁ is set so that the distance from the gate branch point P 1 of the carry-in path 13a to the storage section entrance P ₂ is equal to the distance from the branch point P ₁ of the carry-in path 13b to the storage section entrance P _{3 .} The position of the storage section 5 is slightly offset from the center of the storage section 5.

When the banknote A is fed by the feed roller 31 as shown by the arrow, this is detected by a sensor (not shown), and the gate 30 is moved to the solid line position or the dotted line position based on the front and back discrimination results in the discrimination section 3 described above. oscillate. When the banknote A is face up, the gate 30 swings to the solid line position, and the front banknote passes through the carry-in path 13a,
It is carried into the storage section 5 from the entrance P ₂ with its face facing up as shown by the reference numeral A ₁ . On the other hand, when the banknote A is face down, the gate 30 swings to the dotted line position, and the back banknote passes through the carry-in path 13b, is turned face up, and is carried into the storage section from the entrance _P3 as indicated by the symbol _A2 . . In this embodiment, the feed rollers 35 and 37
Both are attached to a drive shaft 38 as shown in FIG. 3, and a flanged flat belt pulley 39 is coaxially provided on this drive shaft 38, and a deformable flat belt (not shown) is attached to this drive shaft 38. It is provided.
This flat belt carries banknotes A ₁ ,
It serves to knock the rear end of A ₂ down and up. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the storage section 5 is configured such that its length in the banknote carry-in direction is shorter than the length of the banknotes in the carry-in direction. For this reason, banknote A ₁
In this case, the rear end is knocked down as shown by the dotted arrow by a flat belt provided coaxially with the feed roller 35, and the sheets are stacked diagonally in the storage section 5.
On the other hand, in the case of banknotes _A2 , the rear end is lifted up by a flat belt provided coaxially with the feed roller 37, and the banknotes are similarly stacked diagonally. Note that the same effect can be obtained by using a jagged roller instead of the flat belt.

The front and back alignment mechanism described above has the following advantages.

(B) First, both entry paths 13 for front banknotes and back banknotes
Since the distances between a and 13b are equal, both banknotes A ₁ ,
A ₂ will be carried into the storage section 5 in the same order as when it reaches the branch point P ₁ . In other words, a situation in which both banknotes A ₁ and A ₂ are carried into the storage section 5 at the same time does not occur, and jamming of banknotes within the storage section 5 can be prevented.

(b) In addition, only one gate is required, and the structure is simpler than the conventional first method (two gates) described above.

(C) Furthermore, since the banknotes are carried in from the upper and lower ends of the storage section, and each time the banknotes are carried in, the trailing edge of the banknote is knocked down or raised, the leading edge of the next banknote that enters from the same entrance is placed first. It is possible to prevent a jam from occurring due to a collision with the rear end of a banknote inserted.

(d) Also, since the banknotes are carried in from the upper and lower ends of the storage unit and stacked diagonally inside, when the first banknote is stored, this acts as a partition wall and divides the storage unit into two chambers. The partition prevents the ends of banknotes that are carried in opposite directions from crossing each other.
Jams caused by collisions of the tips are prevented. This can be considered to mean that the front and back sides of the banknotes are carried into each chamber separately, and can therefore be considered as an improvement over the conventional second method described above.

(e) Furthermore, front and back alignment can be performed efficiently in a single time.

Next, FIGS. 4, 5, and 6 show a banknote feeding mechanism according to the present invention. This feeding mechanism applies in principle to all feeding parts indicated by numerals 2, 6 and 11 in FIG. However, in the following, the case of the feeding mechanism 11 of the canister 8 will be explained in particular. 4 to 6, reference numeral 40 is a reversible motor, 41 is a feeding roller shaft, 42 is a feeding roller, 43 is a separate roller, 44 is a capstan roller shaft, 45 is a capstan roller, 46 Reference numeral 47 indicates a pinch roller, 47 indicates a pick roller shaft, 48 indicates a pick roller, and 49 indicates a conveyance roller.

The feed roller shaft 41 is driven by a motor 40. Both the feed roller 42 and the pinch roller 46 are attached to this shaft 41. The feed roller 42 is attached to the shaft 41 via a one-way clutch 50, and is rotated in the forward rotation direction of the motor 40 (in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 4).
It is designed so that it cannot be rotated in the opposite rotation direction. In other words, when the motor 40 is driven in the forward rotation direction, it is rotated in the same direction, but when the motor 40 is stopped, the feed roller 42 is rotatable in the direction of the arrow in FIG. Further, the pinch roller 46 is also rotatably attached to the shaft 41 by a bearing 51. The pinch roller 46 has a slightly larger diameter than the feed roller 42, and is made of a material with a smaller coefficient of friction. The separate roller 43 is disposed below the pinch roller 46 and opposed to it, and is constantly driven to rotate in the opposite direction to the feed roller 42. (The drive shaft is not shown). The reference numeral 52 indicates a bell crank that supports the separate roller 48, and the reference numeral 53 indicates a spring that biases it counterclockwise. On the other hand, the capstan roller 45 is arranged so as to be in contact with the pinch roller 46, and is constantly driven to rotate in the direction of the arrow in FIG. Since it is made of material, no feeding force is transmitted to the banknote. The pick roller shaft 47 is connected to the feeding roller shaft 41 by a belt 54, and therefore the pick roller 48 is driven to rotate in both directions according to the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 40. In FIG. 4, reference numeral 55 indicates a banknote sensor, which is used to detect the feeding state of banknotes as will be described later.

The operation of the above-mentioned feeding mechanism will be explained below. When the motor 40 is driven to rotate forward in response to a feed command, the feed roller 42 and the pick roller 48 rotate, and the first banknote A in the canister 8 (on which a pushing force is applied from below) is rotated. is rolled out. Once the leading edge of the bill is captured between the capstan roller 45 and the pinch roller 46, it is then conveyed by the action of these rollers 45, 46.

When the banknote is fed out as described above, the tip of the banknote is connected to the sensor 5.
5, the motor 40 is stopped. As a result, the second and subsequent bills are prevented from being fed out by the holding force of the stopped pick roller 48 and the rotation of the separate roller 43 which is rotating in the opposite direction to the feeding direction.

Note that, as described above, even if the motor 40 stops, the banknotes are still stuck between the capstan roller 45 and the pinch roller 4.
At this time, the feeding roller 42 is stopped due to the stop of the motor 40, but due to the effect of the one-way clutch 50, the feeding roller 42 is moved clockwise with respect to the shaft 41. Since it is rotatable, the feeding of banknotes by the capstan roller 45 is not hindered by friction between the banknote and the feeding roller 42. Furthermore, since the pinch roller 4 is slightly larger than the feeding roller 42, the banknotes are not affected by friction with the feeding roller 42.

The bill is then fed into the conveyance mechanism 14 and subsequently conveyed by the conveyance rollers 49.

The second banknote becomes ready to be fed out when the first banknote finishes passing through the sensor 55. still,
If the sensor 55 does not detect a bill within a certain period of time after the start of dispensing, this is considered to be a defective dispensing condition, and the dispensing is attempted again. This can be done by stopping the motor 40 after a predetermined period of time, slightly rotating it in reverse, and then rotating it in the normal direction again.

Also, after feeding, canister 8-1, 8-2,
When returning the banknotes to 8-3, there is a possibility that the banknotes have come out to the point of contact between the payout roller 42 and the separate roller 43, so if you return them to the canister as is, the tip will be bent and unfeeling at the next payout. To prevent this, it is necessary to reverse the bill and return it to its original position before returning it to the canister.

The feeding mechanism configured as described above has the following advantages.

(a) First, since the feeding roller and the pinch roller are provided on a common shaft, the space occupied is small, and the device can therefore be made smaller. Particularly in the case of the illustrated canister, the feeding process to the transport mechanism 14 is extremely short, which greatly contributes to miniaturization of the entire device. It goes without saying that, as described above, the present invention can also be applied to the feeding portions indicated by numerals 2 and 6 in FIG. 1, contributing to miniaturization.

(b) Particularly when applied to the illustrated example of a canister feeding mechanism, the conveying path of the conveying mechanism 14 can be constructed in a straight line, and reliability can be improved by reducing the occurrence of jams. In addition, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the pinch roller 46 of the feeding mechanism 9 is used in conjunction with the conveyance roller 49, and the cost can be reduced by reducing the number of rollers. I can figure it out.

(c) Furthermore, by making the motor for driving the feeding roller reversible and using a one-way clutch, it is possible to repeatedly try this in the event of a feeding failure, thereby reducing feeding failures and improving reliability. It is possible.

Next, a banknote transport mechanism according to the present invention will be explained. In principle, this conveyance mechanism is shown in Figure 1 with reference numeral 1.
It is effective when applied to the straight parts of all the conveyance mechanisms shown in 3, 14, and 15, and its schematic structure is shown in the 7th section.
It is shown in the figure. In the figure, numeral 61 is a drive roller;
62 indicates pinch rollers, which are arranged in pairs with each other and essentially in a straight line.
A conveyor belt 63 is connected to the drive roller 61, and a conveyor belt 64 is connected to the pinch roller 62, and a banknote conveyance path is formed by these two belts.

A feature of the present invention is that a guide roller 65 is further disposed in the middle of the conveyance path, so that the conveyance path has a bent shape as shown in the figure. distance between bending points,
In other words, the bending pitch is made shorter than the length of the banknote (hatched portion) A to be transported in the transport direction.
As a result, the banknote A is always conveyed in a bent state.

When conveying in such a bent state, for example, in the case of a banknote that is wrinkled or has a tendency to bend, a stretching force that stretches out the wrinkles or creases is applied at the bent part, so the banknote is conveyed while the wrinkles or tendency to bend are corrected. will be done. In addition, bending increases the rigidity of the banknote against forces acting from the sides (that is, from the direction perpendicular to the direction of conveyance) compared to a straight and flat case. etc. are prevented, and stable conveyance is realized.

Furthermore, as shown in the figure, if the pinch roller 62 is made swingable in the counterclockwise direction as necessary using, for example, a lever 66 and a biasing spring 67, it is possible to stably convey even one to many bills. can. Such a movable structure is particularly effective for the conveyance mechanism 15 from the second storage section 12 to the input port 1 in the deposit/disburse machine shown in FIG.

Incidentally, as an embodiment different from the example shown in FIG. 7, the same effect can be obtained even if a bent guide is used.

(7) Effects of the invention The structure of the front and back alignment mechanism unit is simple as there is only one branch gate, and the lengths on the conveyance path until they branch and merge are the same length, so the conveyance order is changed, eliminating the problem of jamming, and reducing the amount of jam in the storage section. Since the stacked state was carried in top and bottom with the front and back sides, the effect of improving the stacked state can be obtained. In addition, in the feeding mechanism section, the feeding roller and pinch roller are coaxial, so there is more space, and the path from the feeding section to the conveying section is shortened, which is effective for downsizing the device and freeing up the conveying system. This provides the effect of simplifying the conveyance path. Furthermore, since the transport mechanism section imparts rigidity to the banknotes being transported, resistance to some causes of jamming is increased, thereby providing the effect of stably transporting the banknotes.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to realize a highly reliable and extremely high-performance recycling type paper sheet processing device that has a simple structure, is small in size, has a high processing speed, and is free from defects such as jamming.
