Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a paper sheet stacking device, and more specifically, to a paper sheet that has been identified or read by a bill validator, a slip, a character reader such as a postcard, or the like. The present invention relates to a paper sheet stacking device that keeps paper sheets in an orderly and accumulated state.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 3 shows an example of a conventional paper sheet stacking apparatus of this type.
Here, 1 is a unit case of the stacking device (stacker unit), 2 is an opening / closing door of the unit case 1, and 3 is a stacking space for storing paper sheets. The paper sheet that has been identified by the identifying unit (not shown) is guided to the stacker unit from the inlet provided in the upper portion of the unit case 1. A roller 4 keeps contact with the pulley 6 through the stacker belt 5 at its entrance and holds the conveyed paper sheets between the stacker belt 5. The stacker belt 5 is a pulley 6,
It is stretched between 7 and 8 and is driven by a stacker motor 9 via a drive belt 10.

11 is a conveyance upper surface guide which supports the shafts of the pulleys 6, 7 and 8 and is located above the guided paper sheet, and 12 is arranged and guided along the upper surface guide 11 on the lower surface side thereof. It is a paper receiver that holds paper sheets between the stacker belt 5. Here, the paper sheet receiver 12 is fixed to the mounting plate 13,
The vertical flange 13A of the fixed plate 13 is slidably held by a rail 14 provided on the back surface of the case 1.

One end of 15 is hooked to the back of the case, the direction is changed by the spring receiving pulley 16, and the other end is fixed plate flange 13A.
It is a coil spring that is hooked on this coil spring 15
The paper sheet receiver 11 is kept in a state of being biased toward the stacker belt 5 by the spring force of.

In the paper sheet stacking apparatus configured in this way, when the paper sheets that have been identified are guided to the stacker unit,
The stacker belt 9 is driven by the stacker motor 9,
Paper sheets are stored on the paper receiver 12. Then, as the sheets are successively stored on it one by one, the sheet receiver 12 is attached to the mounting plate.
It is possible to keep descending with 13 and to accumulate the paper sheets in the accumulating space 3.

By the way, in the paper sheet stacking apparatus configured as described above, when the paper sheets to be handled are seeds having a relatively thick thickness and strong elasticity, such as postcards and special slips, the sheet 20 is a roller of the entrance portion. After being pinched between the stacker 4 and the stacker belt 5, the tip of the stacker belt 5 is bent downward, and the paper receiver 12 holding the stacking sheet 20A is resisted against the spring force in the A direction as shown in FIG. The sheet 20 itself is more likely to be jammed and less reliable because the sheet 20 itself is further curved by the feeding of the roller 4.

Therefore, the present applicant previously proposed a paper sheet stacking device as shown in FIG. 5 (see Japanese Utility Model Application No. 63-33233). In this example, the paper sheet receiver 12 is swingably attached to the attachment plate 13 via the support pin 17, while the stacker belt 5 and a series of pulleys 6, 7 related to the stacker belt 5 are inclined as shown in the drawing. Since the sheet is set to be held, the leading end portion of the sheet is easily guided to the lower surface of the stacker belt 5, and thus the occurrence of the jam described above can be prevented.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

However, with the paper sheet stacking device shown in FIG. 5, although the effect of preventing the occurrence of jams can be obtained,
12 is configured to be held in a state in which the leading end portions of the stacking sheets 20A that are held in a state of accumulating on 12 are in contact with the back side of the opening / closing door 2 while being inclined, so that the opening / closing door 2 is moved in the B direction. When the stacking sheet 20A is opened, the mounting plate 13 is pushed down in the direction of arrow C to take out the stacking sheet 20A, the stacking sheet 20A collapses in the direction of arrow D and easily slides down.

Therefore, it was necessary to take care such as supporting the stacking sheet 20A so that it would not fall by hand, and the usability was poor.

An object of the present invention is to provide a paper sheet stacking device that can take out paper sheets as a bundle from the storage position without anxiety in order to solve the above conventional problems.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve such an object, the present invention has a conveying means for guiding the paper sheet in a state of being inclined on the paper sheet receiver, and biases the paper sheet receiver toward the conveying means by a spring force of a spring, In a paper sheet stacking device capable of holding a plurality of paper sheets in a stacked state between a conveying means and a paper sheet receiver, a mounting member that holds the paper sheet receiver swingably and is vertically movable. The mounting plate includes a pressing plate that can swing in the same direction as the paper sheet receiver via a support shaft, and a connecting member that transmits the rocking motion of the pressing plate to rock the paper sheet receiver. In addition, the posture of the paper sheets accumulated on the paper sheet receiver can be changed by the pressing operation.

[Action]

According to the present invention, when a paper sheet is collected and the pressing plate is held and tilted and pushed down, the paper sheet receiver is swung in the same direction through the connecting member, whereby the inclination direction is changed. In addition, the accumulated paper sheets on the paper receiver can be pulled down together with the paper receiver, and the accumulated paper sheets can be easily taken out without slipping off from the paper receiver.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail and specifically with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. Here, 101 is a pressing plate attached to the lower part of the mounting plate 13 via a support shaft 102 so as to be swingable, and 103 is a wire, rope or chain that vertically connects the pressing plate 101 and the sheet receiver 12. Connecting members, etc., 10
4A and 104B are fixing metal fittings for fixing both ends of the connecting member 103 to the pressing plate 101 and the sheet receiver 12, respectively.

Then, the accumulated sheet 20A is stored in the spring 1 as shown.
As long as it is held between the stacker belt 5 and the paper receiver 12 by the spring force of 5, the pressing plate 101 is kept substantially horizontal via the connecting member 103, The tilt angle of 12 does not change.

Next, when the accumulated sheets 20A are sufficiently accumulated and are collected, the opening / closing door 2 is opened first. However, if the opening / closing door 2 is only opened, the stacking sheet 20A has the spring 15.
Since it is held between the stacker belt 5 and the sheet receiver 12 by the spring force of, it does not slip off. Therefore,
In this state, one hand 105 is attached to the pressing plate 101 as shown in FIG.
A is applied and the mounting plate 13 is pushed down against the spring force of the spring 15 while rotating in the direction of arrow F.

In this way, the stacking sheet 20A is changed in inclination together with the sheet receiver 12 as shown in FIG. 2 by the pressing operation accompanied by the rotation of the pressing plate 101, and there is a possibility that the stacking sheet 20A may already slide down to the opened side of the opening / closing door 2. Disappear. Therefore, the other hand 105B is placed on the collecting sheet 20.
It can be pulled out to fit A.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, by swinging and pressing down the pressing plate at the same time, the attitude of the paper sheet receiver and the paper sheets accumulated on the paper sheet receiver can be maintained via the connecting member. It is possible to pull it down while changing it, and it is possible to keep the accumulated paper sheets in a position that does not slip off the paper receiver, and to easily remove the bundle of paper sheets from the storage part. Became.
