The bill regulation means continues to press a preceding bill just after at least the preceding bill is released from holding by the bill carrying means and perfectly fed into the storage space, separates from the preceding bill when the following bill is fed into the storage space, and continues to press the following bill just after the following bill is released from holding by the bill carrying means and perfectly fed into the storage space. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Description

本発明は、紙幣を取込み放出する紙幣取扱装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a banknote handling apparatus that takes in and discharges banknotes.

金融機関で使用される現金自動取引装置に内蔵される紙幣入出金装置には、入金紙幣を収納し、それらを出金紙幣として放出する、いわゆる紙幣を還流利用する収納放出庫が備えられている。紙幣を還流利用する収納放出庫には、紙幣を取込むための紙幣取込口と、紙幣を放出するための紙幣放出口を備える必要があるが、これら紙幣取込口と紙幣放出口を共通化することで、省スペース化や省部品点数化が可能となり、収納放出庫の小型化ができる。   A banknote depositing / withdrawing apparatus built in an automatic teller machine used in a financial institution is equipped with a storage / discharging box for storing deposited banknotes and discharging them as withdrawal banknotes, so-called banknote refluxing. . It is necessary to provide a banknote intake port for taking in banknotes and a banknote release port for discharging banknotes in a storage and discharge warehouse that recycles and uses banknotes. In this way, it is possible to reduce the space and the number of parts, and to reduce the size of the storage / discharge box.

尚、この収納放出庫は、紙幣を収納する収納部と、収納部に収納する紙幣を集積する集積空間と、集積空間に紙幣を送り込み、また収納部から紙幣を繰り出す集積分離機構を備えているが、高信頼性を確保するためには、集積空間に送り込まれる集積紙幣の先端が、集積済み紙幣と干渉することなく、かつ、集積紙幣の後端が、後続の紙幣の先端と干渉しないようにする必要がある。これは、特に、折れ癖やカール癖のある紙葉類を取り扱う場合や、高速で取り扱うために静電気が発生しやすい場合などに考慮する必要があり、様々な実現方法が考案されている。   In addition, this storage discharge | emission warehouse is equipped with the storage part which accommodates a banknote, the accumulation | storage space which accumulate | stores the banknote accommodated in a storage part, and the accumulation | aggregation separation mechanism which sends a banknote into an accumulation space, and pays out a banknote from a storage part. However, in order to ensure high reliability, the leading edge of the stacked banknotes fed into the stacking space does not interfere with the stacked banknotes, and the trailing edge of the stacked banknotes does not interfere with the leading edge of the subsequent banknotes. It is necessary to. In particular, it is necessary to consider this when handling paper sheets with creases or curls, or when static electricity is likely to occur due to high speed handling, and various realization methods have been devised.

一例として、実公平5−12209号公報がある。これによれば、送り込み部に回転する羽根車を配して、送り込まれた紙幣の後端を叩き落すことにより、後続の紙幣との干渉を防止している。一方、特許第3134734号公報記載の機構は、紙幣干渉の防止策として羽根車の代わりにループシート部材を利用し、装置の小型化を図っている。   An example is Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-12209. According to this, the impeller which rotates in the infeed part is arranged, and the interference with the subsequent banknote is prevented by knocking down the rear end of the fed banknote. On the other hand, the mechanism described in Japanese Patent No. 3134734 uses a loop sheet member instead of an impeller as a measure for preventing banknote interference, thereby reducing the size of the apparatus.

実公平5−12209号公報No. 5-12209 特許第3134734号公報Japanese Patent No. 3134734

特許文献1では、送り込み部に回転する羽根車を配して高信頼性を実現しているが、回転する羽根車の実装スペースが必要であり、機構の小型化の制約になる。また、特許文献2においては、簡易のループシートを用いて紙幣後端の規制を行っているため、装置の小型化は行えているが、紙幣を高速に集積することができない。   In Patent Document 1, a rotating impeller is arranged in the infeed portion to achieve high reliability. However, a mounting space for the rotating impeller is necessary, which is a restriction on downsizing of the mechanism. Moreover, in patent document 2, since the banknote trailing end is regulated using a simple loop sheet, the apparatus can be downsized, but banknotes cannot be stacked at high speed.

本発明の目的は、紙幣の集積および分離性能を高信頼に保ったまま集積分離機構を小型化することにある。   An object of the present invention is to reduce the size of the stacking and separating mechanism while maintaining the stacking and separating performance of banknotes with high reliability.

上記目的は、紙幣を収納する収納空間と、前記収納空間に前記紙幣の送り込みと前記収納空間から紙幣の送り出しを行う紙幣搬送手段と、前記紙幣の通過を検知する紙幣通過検知手段と、前記収納空間内の紙幣を押えて規制する紙幣規制手段とを備えた紙幣取扱装置において、前記紙幣規制手段は少なくとも先行紙幣が前記紙幣搬送手段の挟持から開放され前記収納空間に送り込まれてから前記先行紙幣を押え、後続紙幣が前記収納空間に送り込まれると前記先行紙幣から離れて前記後続紙幣が前記紙幣搬送手段の挟持から開放され、前記収納空間に送り込まれてからは前記後続紙幣を押えることにより達成される。   The object includes a storage space for storing banknotes, a banknote conveying means for feeding the banknotes into the storage space and delivering banknotes from the storage space, a banknote passage detecting means for detecting passage of the banknotes, and the storage. A bill handling device comprising a bill regulation device that regulates the bill by pressing a bill in the space, wherein the bill bill control means is configured such that at least the preceding bill is released from the nipping of the bill transport means and fed into the storage space. When the succeeding banknote is fed into the storage space, the succeeding banknote is released from the holding of the banknote conveying means when the succeeding banknote is fed into the storage space, and is pressed by pressing the succeeding banknote after being fed into the housing space. Is done.

また上記目的は、前記紙幣規制手段は往復運動することにより達成される。   The above object is achieved by the reciprocating motion of the banknote regulating means.

また上記目的は、前記紙幣規制手段は軸を中心に回転しながら往復運動することにより達成される。   The above-mentioned object is achieved by the reciprocating motion of the banknote regulating means while rotating about the axis.

また上記目的は、前記紙幣規制手段は前記収納空間に取り込む紙幣に対して変形力を与えることにより達成される。   Moreover, the said objective is achieved when the said banknote control means gives a deformation | transformation force with respect to the banknote taken in in the said storage space.

また上記目的は、前記紙幣規制手段の紙幣を押えるために接する面は高摩擦力を発生することにより達成される。   Further, the above object is achieved by generating a high frictional force on the surface in contact with the banknote regulating means for pressing the banknote.

また上記目的は、前記紙幣規制手段の紙幣を押えるために接する面以外の面の摩擦力は小さいことにより達成される。   Moreover, the said objective is achieved because the frictional force of surfaces other than the surface which contact | connects in order to hold the banknote of the said banknote control means is small.

また上記目的は、前記紙幣規制手段は可撓性部材で形成することにより達成される。   Moreover, the said objective is achieved by forming the said banknote control means with a flexible member.

本発明によれば、紙幣を規制する紙幣規制手段は、紙幣に影響を及ぼす領域以外の余分な領域を必要としないため、紙幣の集積および分離性能を高信頼に保ったまま小型化することができる集積分離機構を提供できる。   According to the present invention, since the banknote regulating means for regulating banknotes does not require an extra area other than the area that affects the banknotes, it is possible to reduce the size while keeping the banknote accumulation and separation performance highly reliable. An integrated separation mechanism can be provided.

以下、本発明の一実施例について詳細に説明する。   Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

図10は収納放出庫7から紙幣を放出する状態を表す側面図である。
各図において、この収納放出庫7は紙幣を水平姿勢で集積する縦置型の紙幣カセットであり、紙幣の収納と分離繰り出しを行う。収納放出庫7は主に、フィードローラ701とバックアップローラ702とゲートローラ703と集積紙幣に変形を与え且つ紙幣の後端を規制する役割を持つ紙幣規制部材704とピックアップローラ711と集積分離ガイド705と発光素子788aと受光素子788bからなる透過センサ788と押板706と側板708と可動側板710と側壁713で構成されている。フィードローラ701は図示せぬ駆動源からギヤを介して駆動されるローラであり、集積方向および分離方向に回転する。バックアップローラ702は、フィードローラ701に従動して回転する無駆動のローラである。ゲートローラ703は、一方向クラッチを介して軸に設置されており、紙幣集積方向(図9中の反時計方向)にはフィードローラ701に従動して回転するが、紙幣分離方向(図9中の時計方向)には回転をしない。紙幣規制部材704はゲートローラ703の軸を中心に回転する構造であり、図示しないソレノイドで駆動する。ピックアップローラ711は、フィードローラ701と連結しており、集積方向および分離方向に回転する。
FIG. 8 is a front view of the storage / discharge box 7 mounted on the banknote deposit and withdrawal device 1.
FIG. 9 is a side view illustrating a state in which banknotes are stored in the storage / discharge box 7.
FIG. 10 is a side view showing a state in which banknotes are discharged from the storage / discharge box 7.
In each figure, the storage and discharge box 7 is a vertical banknote cassette that stacks banknotes in a horizontal posture, and stores and separates banknotes. The storage / discharge box 7 mainly includes a feed roller 701, a backup roller 702, a gate roller 703, a banknote regulating member 704, a pickup roller 711, and a stacking and separating guide 705 having a role of deforming the stacked banknotes and regulating the rear end of the banknotes. And a transmission sensor 788 including a light emitting element 788a and a light receiving element 788b, a push plate 706, a side plate 708, a movable side plate 710, and a side wall 713. The feed roller 701 is a roller driven through a gear from a drive source (not shown), and rotates in the accumulation direction and the separation direction. The backup roller 702 is a non-driven roller that rotates following the feed roller 701. The gate roller 703 is installed on a shaft via a one-way clutch, and rotates in accordance with the feed roller 701 in the banknote stacking direction (counterclockwise direction in FIG. 9), but the banknote separating direction (in FIG. 9). Do not rotate clockwise. The banknote regulating member 704 has a structure that rotates around the axis of the gate roller 703 and is driven by a solenoid (not shown). The pickup roller 711 is connected to the feed roller 701 and rotates in the accumulation direction and the separation direction.

側壁713および可動側板710は紙幣のサイズに合わせて取り付け位置の設定ができる。側壁713の幅は、紙幣の幅方向サイズより2mm〜10mm程度大きい値に設定するのが適当である。また、側板708と可動側板710の間の距離が、紙幣入出金装置1が取り扱う紙幣の寸法より2mm程度大きくなるように、可動側板710の取り付け位置を設定するのが適当である。   The side wall 713 and the movable side plate 710 can be set in the mounting position according to the size of the bill. It is appropriate to set the width of the side wall 713 to a value about 2 mm to 10 mm larger than the width direction size of the banknote. In addition, it is appropriate to set the mounting position of the movable side plate 710 so that the distance between the side plate 708 and the movable side plate 710 is about 2 mm larger than the size of the bill handled by the bill depositing / dispensing apparatus 1.

次に収納放出庫7の紙幣収納動作を説明する。始めに、既に収納放出庫7内にある収納紙幣または押板706が透過センサ788を遮らなくなる位置まで押板706が下降する。この動作により、集積分離ガイド705と収納紙幣の間に空間を確保し(図9の状態)、外部から紙幣を取り込むことができる。続いて、収納放出庫7に搬送されて来た紙幣を、フィードローラ701−バックアップローラ702間,フィードローラ701−ゲートローラ703間で挟持搬送して、集積分離ガイド705と収納紙幣の間の空間に取り込む。   Next, the bill storage operation of the storage / discharge box 7 will be described. First, the press plate 706 is lowered to a position where the stored banknote or the press plate 706 already in the storage / discharge box 7 does not block the transmission sensor 788. By this operation, a space can be secured between the stacking separation guide 705 and the stored banknote (the state shown in FIG. 9), and the banknote can be taken from the outside. Subsequently, the bills conveyed to the storage / discharge box 7 are nipped and conveyed between the feed roller 701 and the backup roller 702 and between the feed roller 701 and the gate roller 703, and a space between the stacking separation guide 705 and the stored bill. Into.

この際の、紙幣規制部材704の動作を図12に、紙幣規制部材704の形状を図11に示す。
図11は、紙幣規制部材の形状を示す図である。
図12は、紙幣規制部材の動作(a〜f)を示す図である。
図11に示す紙幣規制部材704は、規制面704aと非規制面704bと集積紙幣変形用凸部704cから成る。規制面704aは収納紙幣の後端と接する面であり、高摩擦部材で形成されていることが望ましい。非規制面704bは集積直後の紙幣の後端に下方から接する面であり、低摩擦部材で形成されていることが望ましい。集積紙幣変形用凸部704cは搬送面から僅かに突出しており、対向する集積分離ガイド705とラップすることで、集積搬送中の紙幣に変形を与え、紙幣の見かけの剛性を上げる役割を持つ。
The operation of the banknote regulating member 704 at this time is shown in FIG. 12, and the shape of the banknote regulating member 704 is shown in FIG.
FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating the shape of the banknote regulating member.
FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating the operations (af) of the banknote regulating member.
The banknote regulating member 704 shown in FIG. 11 includes a regulating surface 704a, a non-regulating surface 704b, and a stacked banknote deforming convex portion 704c. The regulation surface 704a is a surface in contact with the rear end of the stored banknote, and is preferably formed of a high friction member. The non-regulating surface 704b is a surface that comes into contact with the rear end of the bill immediately after being stacked from below, and is preferably formed of a low friction member. The stacked banknote deforming convex portion 704c slightly protrudes from the transport surface, and has a role of increasing the apparent rigidity of the banknotes by deforming the banknotes being stacked and transported by wrapping with the opposing stacking separation guide 705.

以下、図12を用いて紙幣規制部材704の動作を説明する。
尚、図12には、紙幣規制部材と同じ軸に設置しているゲートローラ703を図示していない。
図12において、紙幣規制部材704は、収納放出庫7に新たに紙幣が搬送されてくるまでは、収納空間内の収納紙幣の後端を規制面704aでもって押えている。紙幣800が搬送されてくると通過センサ789がこれを検知する(図12の(a))。紙幣800がそのまま搬送されると、やがて紙幣800は集積紙幣変形用凸部704cによって変形されながら搬送される(図12の(b))。
Hereinafter, operation | movement of the banknote control member 704 is demonstrated using FIG.
Note that FIG. 12 does not show the gate roller 703 installed on the same axis as the banknote regulating member.
In FIG. 12, the banknote regulating member 704 presses the rear end of the stored banknote in the storage space with the regulation surface 704 a until a new banknote is conveyed to the storage / discharge box 7. When the banknote 800 is conveyed, the passage sensor 789 detects this ((a) of FIG. 12). When the banknote 800 is conveyed as it is, the banknote 800 is eventually conveyed while being deformed by the stacked banknote deforming convex portion 704c ((b) of FIG. 12).

この際、図13に示すように、フィードローラ701−ゲートローラ703間で矢印
811の方向に挟持搬送する紙幣800に、集積分離ガイド705の反力812と、集積紙幣変形用凸部704cの反力813を与えることで、紙幣800に変形を与え続けることができる。紙幣に図13に示す変形を与えると、紙幣の見かけの剛性を高くすることができ、紙幣を安定して取り込むことができる。見かけの剛性が高まった紙幣800は、収納空間に搬送される。そして、紙幣800の後端が集積紙幣変形用凸部704cを完全に通り抜けると(図12の(c))、紙幣規制部材704は図示しない駆動源によって図
12の時計方向に回転する。尚、紙幣800の後端が集積紙幣変形用凸部704cを完全に通り抜けたかどうかは、通過センサ789の検知時刻から算出して知ることができる。紙幣規制部材704が図12の時計方向に回転する際、非規制面704bは低摩擦部材で形成されているため、紙幣規制部材704は紙幣800の後端を滑りながら回転する(図12の(d))。紙幣規制部材704が完全に回転すると(図12の(e))、直ちに紙幣規制部材704は図12の反時計方向に回転し、紙幣800の後端を押える。この際、規制面704aは高摩擦部材で形成されているため、紙幣の後端を確実に押えることができる。
At this time, as shown in FIG. 13, a reaction force 812 of the stacking separation guide 705 and a reaction force of the stacked banknote deforming convex portion 704 c are applied to the banknote 800 that is nipped and conveyed between the feed roller 701 and the gate roller 703 in the direction of the arrow 811. By applying the force 813, the banknote 800 can be continuously deformed. If a deformation | transformation shown in FIG. 13 is given to a banknote, the apparent rigidity of a banknote can be made high and a banknote can be taken in stably. The banknote 800 with increased apparent rigidity is conveyed to the storage space. When the rear end of the banknote 800 passes completely through the stacked banknote deforming convex portion 704c ((c) in FIG. 12), the banknote regulating member 704 is rotated in the clockwise direction in FIG. 12 by a drive source (not shown). Note that whether or not the rear end of the banknote 800 has completely passed through the convex part 704c for stacking banknotes can be calculated from the detection time of the passage sensor 789. When the banknote regulating member 704 rotates in the clockwise direction of FIG. 12, the non-regulating surface 704b is formed of a low friction member, so that the banknote regulating member 704 rotates while sliding on the rear end of the banknote 800 ((( d)). When the banknote regulating member 704 rotates completely ((e) in FIG. 12), the banknote regulating member 704 immediately rotates counterclockwise in FIG. 12 and presses the rear end of the banknote 800. At this time, since the regulation surface 704a is formed of a high friction member, the trailing edge of the banknote can be reliably pressed.

紙幣を取り込み続けると、やがて、集積分離ガイド705と収納紙幣の間の空間が狭くなり、後続紙幣を取り込むことができなくなる。それを回避するため、透過センサ788が障害物を所定時間(例えば70msec)以上検知した場合、障害物を検知しなくなるまで押板706を下降させ、集積分離ガイド705と収納紙幣の間の空間を確保する。   If the banknotes are continuously taken in, the space between the stacking separation guide 705 and the stored banknotes is narrowed, and subsequent banknotes cannot be taken in. In order to avoid this, when the transmission sensor 788 detects an obstacle for a predetermined time (for example, 70 msec) or longer, the push plate 706 is lowered until no obstacle is detected, and the space between the stacking separation guide 705 and the stored bill is increased. Secure.

次に、収納放出庫7の紙幣放出動作を説明する。
最初に、紙幣規制部材704を図12の(e)に示す紙幣に干渉しない位置まで退避させる。続いて、押板706を図10中の上方に駆動する。収納紙幣が集積分離ガイド705を上方に押し上げ、ピックアップローラ711が上面の紙幣と接触したことを確認すると、押板706は一端停止する。そして、ピックアップローラ711及びフィードローラ
701を分離方向に回転させることで、収納紙幣を一枚ずつ収納放出庫7の外へ分離搬送する。尚、ゲートローラ703は一方向クラッチの効果により停止しているため、ピックアップローラ711にて最上面の紙幣を分離搬送する際に、2枚目以降の紙幣が重なって搬送されることはない。この動作により、紙幣を滑らかに放出することができる。
Next, the banknote discharge | release operation | movement of the storage discharge box 7 is demonstrated.
First, the banknote regulating member 704 is retracted to a position where it does not interfere with the banknote shown in FIG. Subsequently, the push plate 706 is driven upward in FIG. When the stored banknote pushes up the stacking separation guide 705 upward and confirms that the pickup roller 711 is in contact with the banknote on the upper surface, the pressing plate 706 stops once. Then, by rotating the pickup roller 711 and the feed roller 701 in the separating direction, the stored banknotes are separated and conveyed one by one to the outside of the storage / discharge box 7. Since the gate roller 703 is stopped by the effect of the one-way clutch, when the uppermost banknote is separated and transported by the pickup roller 711, the second and subsequent banknotes are not transported in an overlapping manner. By this operation, it is possible to discharge the bill smoothly.

以上に述べた様に、紙幣規制部材704は、軸を中心に往復回転運動を行いながら集積紙幣の後端を規制することができ、紙幣に影響を及ぼす領域以外の余分な領域を必要としないため、装置全体を小型化することができる。   As described above, the banknote regulating member 704 can regulate the rear end of the stacked banknotes while performing reciprocating rotation about the axis, and does not require an extra area other than the area that affects the banknotes. Therefore, the entire apparatus can be reduced in size.

尚、上に述べた実施例では、紙幣規制部材704の回転軸とゲートローラ703の回転軸を共通としたが、紙幣規制部材704専用の回転軸を設置してもよい。   In the embodiment described above, the rotation axis of the banknote regulating member 704 and the rotation axis of the gate roller 703 are made common, but a rotation axis dedicated to the banknote regulating member 704 may be installed.

また、上に述べた実施例では、紙幣規制部材704は軸を中心に回転運動をする部材であったが、リンク機構やスライダ機構を用いて、往復運動をする部材でもよい。   In the embodiment described above, the banknote regulating member 704 is a member that rotates around an axis, but may be a member that reciprocates using a link mechanism or a slider mechanism.

尚、紙幣規制部材704の形状は、上に述べた実施例に限定されるものではない。例えば、他の手段で紙幣の見かけ上の剛性を上げるために集積紙幣変形用凸部704cを省略することもできる。   In addition, the shape of the banknote control member 704 is not limited to the embodiment described above. For example, in order to increase the apparent rigidity of banknotes by other means, the stacked banknote deforming convex portion 704c can be omitted.

また、図14に示す様に、紙幣規制部材704を可撓性のシート状にし、その下面を規制面704a,上面を非規制面704bとしてもよい。また、以上に述べた実施例は、取扱対象を紙幣としているが、紙幣に限られるものではなく紙葉類全般でもよい。   Further, as shown in FIG. 14, the banknote regulating member 704 may be formed into a flexible sheet shape, and the lower surface thereof may be a regulating surface 704a and the upper surface may be a non-regulating surface 704b. Moreover, although the Example described above makes the handling object a banknote, it is not restricted to a banknote, The paper sheets in general may be sufficient.
