Description
本発明は、集積状態の紙幣を1枚ずつ繰り出す紙幣繰出装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a banknote feeding device that feeds out stacked banknotes one by one.
従来、紙幣の入金取引をする機械として、入出金取引が可能なATMなどの紙幣入出金機や、主に小売店の経営者や従業員が操作して小売店の売上金を入金する大口用の入金機などがある。このような機械では、入金する紙幣を集積状態で受け入れ、この集積状態の紙幣を1枚ずつ機械内部へ繰り出す紙幣繰出装置が用いられている。 Conventionally, banknote depositing and dispensing machines such as ATMs capable of depositing and dispensing transactions as a machine for depositing and dispensing banknotes, and large-scale deposits of retail store sales mainly operated by retailer managers and employees There are other deposit machines. In such a machine, a banknote feeding device that accepts banknotes to be deposited in a stacked state and feeds the stacked banknotes one by one into the machine is used.
この紙幣繰出装置では、入金口から投入される紙幣を集積状態で収容する紙幣集積部を有し、この紙幣集積部に収容された集積紙幣の集積方向一方から紙幣を繰出方向に繰り出すとともに送りローラと逆転ローラとで構成されるゲート部を通じて1枚ずつに分離し、紙幣を1枚ずつ繰出通路に繰り出している。 The banknote feeding device has a banknote stacking unit that stores banknotes inserted from the deposit port in a stacked state, and feeds banknotes in the feeding direction from one of the stacking directions of the stacked banknotes stored in the banknote stacking unit. And the reverse roller are separated one by one through a gate portion, and the banknotes are fed one by one into the feeding path.
ところで、集積状態で投入される紙幣には硬貨などの異物が混入していることがある。異物が混入している場合、紙幣と一緒に繰り出されようとするが、ゲート部を異物が通過できないため、ゲート部で異物が停止する。 By the way, foreign matter such as coins may be mixed in the bills inserted in the accumulated state. When foreign matter is mixed in, it tries to be fed out together with banknotes, but since the foreign matter cannot pass through the gate portion, the foreign matter stops at the gate portion.
また、集積方向を水平方向とし、集積方向一方で上部側から紙幣を上方へ向けて繰り出すことにより、異物が混入していても、その異物の自重によって紙幣と一緒に上方へ繰り出されるのを防止するようにしている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。

However, since the stacking direction is the horizontal direction and the banknotes are loaded in a standing state, if the banknote capacity of the banknote stacking unit is large, the banknotes are likely to fall down and shift, so the banknote storage amount is reduced to a certain extent. It is limited and cannot be applied to a deposit machine that inserts a large amount of banknotes such as retail sales.
この入金機などでは、集積方向を紙幣を積み重ねられる上下方向とすることにより、紙幣集積部の紙幣容量が大きくても紙幣を積み重ねることから紙幣が倒れたりずれたりすることがない。しかし、紙幣に異物が混入した場合、紙幣と一緒に異物が繰り出されやすく、異物の噛み込みによる障害が発生しやすい問題がある。 In this depositing machine or the like, by setting the stacking direction to the vertical direction in which banknotes are stacked, even if the banknote capacity of the banknote stacking unit is large, the banknotes are stacked and the banknotes do not fall down or shift. However, when foreign matter is mixed in the banknote, the foreign matter is easily drawn out together with the banknote, and there is a problem that a failure due to the biting of the foreign matter is likely to occur.

The possible banknote P is returned to the lower part of the banknote stacking unit 31 and temporarily held, and the banknote P is again fed out by the feeding means 33 by the deposit approval command and stored in the storage 17, and the banknote stacking unit 31 by the deposit return command. It has a function of returning the temporarily held banknote P from the banknote transaction port 13.
次に、図11に異物排除動作の制御に関するブロック図を示す。 Next, FIG. 11 shows a block diagram relating to the control of the foreign substance removal operation.
制御部29は、検知手段95による検知に基づき、繰出通路67を開閉するためのソレノイドやモータなどの開閉駆動手段131や、キックローラ79、フィードローラ80および逆転ローラ83などを駆動するモータなどの繰出駆動手段132を制御する。 Based on the detection by the detection means 95, the control unit 29 includes an opening / closing drive means 131 such as a solenoid and a motor for opening and closing the feeding passage 67, a motor for driving the kick roller 79, the feed roller 80, the reverse rotation roller 83, and the like. The feeding drive means 132 is controlled.
そして、制御部29は、紙幣Pの繰出動作中に、異物停止部78で異物Cを停止していることを検知手段95で検知したら、繰出駆動手段132による繰出動作を停止させ、開閉駆動手段131で前側の通路部材74の上部側を前方へ移動させて繰出通路67を開放させることにより、異物停止部78で停止している異物Cを異物排出部92から排出させ、検知手段95で異物Cを検知しなくなれば開閉駆動手段131で繰出通路67を閉じ、繰出駆動手段132で繰出動作を再開させる機能を有している。 When the detecting unit 95 detects that the foreign matter C is stopped by the foreign matter stopping unit 78 during the feeding operation of the banknote P, the control unit 29 stops the feeding operation by the feeding driving unit 132 and opens / closes the driving unit. By moving the upper side of the front passage member 74 forward by 131 and opening the feeding passage 67, the foreign matter C stopped by the foreign matter stop portion 78 is discharged from the foreign matter discharge portion 92, and the detection means 95 causes the foreign matter to be removed. If C is no longer detected, the opening / closing driving means 131 closes the feeding passage 67 and the feeding driving means 132 has a function of restarting the feeding operation.
次に、本実施の形態の作用を説明する。 Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described.
まず、紙幣入出金装置11の入金処理について説明する。 First, the depositing process of the banknote depositing / withdrawing apparatus 11 will be described.
図8(a)に示すように、待機状態では、紙幣取引口13のシャッタ14が閉じられ、ステージ53は集積枠部41の進入口46から紙幣集積部31内に進入した高さ位置にある。 As shown in FIG. 8 (a), in the standby state, the shutter 14 of the banknote transaction port 13 is closed, and the stage 53 is at a height position that has entered the banknote stacking section 31 from the entrance 46 of the stacking frame section 41. .
図8(b)に示すように、小売店の経営者や従業員などの顧客の操作による入金取引指令により、シャッタ14を開いて紙幣取引口13を開放する。顧客は、開いた紙幣取引口13を通じて多量の紙幣Pをステージ53上に載置してセットする。 As shown in FIG. 8 (b), the shutter 14 is opened and the bill transaction slot 13 is opened in accordance with a deposit transaction command by the operation of a customer such as a retail store manager or an employee. The customer places and sets a large amount of banknotes P on the stage 53 through the open banknote transaction port 13.
図8(c)に示すように、紙幣Pのセット完了後、シャッタ14を閉じて紙幣取引口13を閉鎖する。 As shown in FIG. 8C, after the banknote P is set, the shutter 14 is closed and the banknote transaction port 13 is closed.
図8(d)に示すように、ステージ53を上昇させ、ステージ53上の集積紙幣Pのうちの最上部の紙幣Pを繰出手段33のキックローラ79に押圧する。ステージ53が上昇することにより、ステージ53で押されて開放していた開閉ガイド49が進入口46を閉じる。 As shown in FIG. 8D, the stage 53 is raised and the uppermost banknote P of the stacked banknotes P on the stage 53 is pressed against the kick roller 79 of the feeding means 33. As the stage 53 rises, the opening / closing guide 49 that has been opened by being pushed by the stage 53 closes the entrance 46.
図8(e)に示すように、繰出手段33で繰出動作を開始し、ステージ53上の紙幣Pを1枚ずつ繰出通路67を通じて紙幣通路18に繰り出し、紙幣通路18の紙幣識別部19で識別し、正規の紙幣Pは紙幣通路18で紙幣集積部31の下部の集積機構34に搬送し、この集積機構34で紙幣Pを紙幣集積部31内のステージ53より下側の一時保留部63に下方側から順次挿入させて集積させる。集積紙幣量が少ない間は、集積レバー113,114,113が紙幣集積部31内に進出して紙幣Pを上方から押さえて、紙幣Pの集積を安定させる。また、入金リジェクト紙幣Pは紙幣通路18で入金リジェクト紙幣収納部16に搬送して収納する。 As shown in FIG. 8 (e), the feeding means 33 starts the feeding operation, feeds the banknotes P on the stage 53 one by one to the banknote path 18 through the feeding path 67, and identifies them by the banknote recognition unit 19 in the banknote path 18. Then, the regular banknote P is conveyed to the stacking mechanism 34 below the banknote stacking section 31 through the banknote passage 18, and the banknote P is transferred to the temporary storage section 63 below the stage 53 in the banknote stacking section 31 by this stacking mechanism 34. It is inserted and accumulated sequentially from the lower side. While the amount of stacked banknotes is small, the stacking levers 113, 114, 113 advance into the banknote stacking unit 31 to hold the banknotes P from above and stabilize the stacking of banknotes P. Further, the deposit reject banknote P is conveyed and stored in the deposit reject banknote storage unit 16 through the banknote passage 18.
図8(f)に示すように、ステージ53が上昇していくと、ステージ53より上方の集積空間62が減少し、ステージ53より下方の一時保留部63の空間が増大していき、一時保留部63での集積紙幣量の増加を許容する。この集積紙幣量の増加により、集積レバー113,114,113が集積紙幣Pに押されることでばね付勢に抗して上方に回動して紙幣集積部31内から退避する。集積レバー113,114,113が退避しても、集積紙幣Pの荷重が加わることで、集積紙幣Pの下部側から順次集積される紙幣Pの集積状態は安定する。 As shown in FIG. 8 (f), as the stage 53 rises, the accumulation space 62 above the stage 53 decreases, and the space of the temporary holding portion 63 below the stage 53 increases, temporarily holding. The increase in the amount of accumulated banknotes in the part 63 is allowed. With the increase in the amount of accumulated banknotes, the accumulation levers 113, 114, 113 are pushed by the accumulated banknotes P so that they rotate upward against the spring bias and retract from the banknote accumulation unit 31. Even if the stacking levers 113, 114, 113 are retracted, the stacked state of the banknotes P sequentially stacked from the lower side of the stacked banknotes P is stabilized by applying the load of the stacked banknotes P.
図9(a)に示すように、ステージ53上の全ての紙幣Pを繰り出しを完了したら、図9(b)に示すように、ステージ53を集積枠部41の退避口45の位置まで下降させ、ステージ53を集積枠部41の退避口45から紙幣集積部31の後方に退避させる。 As shown in FIG. 9 (a), when all the banknotes P on the stage 53 have been fed out, the stage 53 is lowered to the position of the retraction opening 45 of the stacking frame portion 41 as shown in FIG. 9 (b). Then, the stage 53 is retracted from the retracting port 45 of the stacking frame portion 41 to the rear of the banknote stacking portion 31.
図9(c)に示すように、リフト手段35の左右両側のリフトアーム119を上昇させ、これら左右両側のリフトアーム119で集積ベルト103,104,103上の集積紙幣Pを受け取って上昇させ、集積紙幣Pの下方にステージ53の挿入空間を形成する。ステージ53は集積枠部41の進入口46の位置まで下降させる。 As shown in FIG. 9 (c), the lift arms 119 on both the left and right sides of the lift means 35 are raised, and the left and right lift arms 119 receive and raise the stacked banknotes P on the stacked belts 103, 104, 103, An insertion space for the stage 53 is formed below the stacked banknotes P. The stage 53 is lowered to the position of the entrance 46 of the stacking frame 41.
図9(d)に示すように、ステージ53を集積枠部41の進入口46を通じて紙幣集積部31内に進入させ、つまりステージ53を左右両側のリフトアーム119で上昇している集積紙幣Pの下側に進入させる。 As shown in FIG. 9 (d), the stage 53 is advanced into the banknote stacking unit 31 through the entrance 46 of the stacking frame part 41, that is, the stage 53 is moved up by the lift arms 119 on both the left and right sides. Let go down.
図9(e)に示すように、リフト手段35の左右両側のリフトアーム119を下降させ、左右両側のリフトアーム119がステージ53に当接して上方に回動することで、集積紙幣Pをステージ53上に受け渡す。 As shown in FIG. 9 (e), the left and right lift arms 119 of the lift means 35 are lowered, and the left and right lift arms 119 abut against the stage 53 and rotate upward, whereby the stacked banknotes P are moved to the stage. Pass on 53.
そして、識別結果を表示パネル26で表示し、識別結果を確認した顧客の操作による入金承認指令により、再度、ステージ53を上昇させ、繰出手段33でステージ53上の紙幣Pを1枚ずつ紙幣通路18に繰り出し、紙幣通路18の紙幣識別部19で識別し、紙幣通路18で対応する金種の収納庫17に搬送して収納させる。また、入金リジェクト紙幣を入金リジェクト紙幣収納部16に収納している場合には、ステージ53上の全ての紙幣Pが繰り出されて収納庫17に収納された後に、入金リジェクト紙幣を、入金リジェクト紙幣収納部16から紙幣通路18に繰り出し、紙幣通路18で紙幣集積部31の上部に搬送し、繰出手段33で逆方向に搬送して紙幣集積部31の上部に繰り込む。全ての入金リジェクト紙幣の繰り込みを完了したら、シャッタ14を開いて入金リジェクト紙幣を返却する。 Then, the identification result is displayed on the display panel 26, and the stage 53 is raised again by the deposit approval command by the operation of the customer who confirmed the identification result, and the banknote P on the stage 53 is fed one by one by the feeding means 33. Then, the bill is identified by the bill identification unit 19 of the bill passage 18 and is conveyed and stored in the corresponding denomination storage 17 in the bill passage 18. In addition, when the deposit reject banknote is stored in the deposit reject banknote storage unit 16, after all the banknotes P on the stage 53 are fed out and stored in the storage box 17, the deposit reject banknote is converted into the deposit reject banknote. The paper is fed from the storage unit 16 to the banknote passage 18, transported to the upper part of the banknote stacking unit 31 by the banknote path 18, transported in the reverse direction by the feeding means 33, and fed to the upper part of the banknote stacking unit 31. When the transfer of all the deposit reject banknotes is completed, the shutter 14 is opened and the deposit reject banknotes are returned.
また、識別結果を確認した顧客の操作による入金返却指令により、シャッタ14を開いて紙幣取引口13を開放する。顧客は紙幣取引口13からステージ53上の紙幣Pを取り出す。紙幣Pが取り出されたら、シャッタ14を閉じて紙幣取引口13を閉鎖する。また、入金リジェクト紙幣を入金リジェクト紙幣収納部16に収納している場合には、シャッタ14を開く前に、入金リジェクト紙幣を、入金リジェクト紙幣収納部16内から紙幣通路18に繰り出し、紙幣通路18で紙幣集積部31の上部に搬送し、繰出手段33で逆方向に搬送して紙幣集積部31の上部に繰り込む。全ての入金リジェクト紙幣の繰り込みを完了したら、ステージ53を紙幣取引口13の下側に下降させ、シャッタ14を開いて紙幣取引口13から入金リジェクト紙幣を返却紙幣Pと一緒に返却する。 Moreover, the shutter 14 is opened and the banknote transaction port 13 is opened by the deposit return command by the operation of the customer who confirmed the identification result. The customer takes out the banknote P on the stage 53 from the banknote transaction port 13. When the bill P is taken out, the shutter 14 is closed and the bill transaction port 13 is closed. In addition, when the deposit reject banknote is stored in the deposit reject banknote storage unit 16, before the shutter 14 is opened, the deposit reject banknote is fed out from the deposit reject banknote storage unit 16 to the banknote path 18, and the banknote path 18 Then, it is conveyed to the upper part of the banknote stacking unit 31, transported in the reverse direction by the feeding means 33, and fed into the upper part of the banknote stacking unit 31. When the transfer of all the deposit reject banknotes is completed, the stage 53 is lowered to the lower side of the banknote transaction port 13, the shutter 14 is opened, and the deposit reject banknotes are returned together with the return banknote P from the banknote transaction port 13.
なお、入金リジェクト紙幣を紙幣集積部31の上部に繰り込む際には、ステージ53を上昇させてこのステージ53上またはステージ53上の返却紙幣P上に入金リジェクト紙幣を受け取るとともに、図示しない集積レバーで押さえることにより、正常に集積させることができる。 When the deposited reject banknote is transferred to the upper part of the banknote stacking unit 31, the stage 53 is raised to receive the deposited reject banknote on the stage 53 or the returned banknote P on the stage 53, and a stacking lever (not shown) It is possible to accumulate normally by pressing with.
次に、紙幣入出金装置11の紙幣出金処理について説明する。 Next, the banknote withdrawal process of the banknote depositing / withdrawing apparatus 11 will be described.
顧客の操作による出金取引指令により、指定された出金紙幣Pに対応する金種の各収納庫17から紙幣通路18に1金種ずつ順番に紙幣Pを必要枚数繰り出し、紙幣通路18の紙幣識別部19で識別し、正規の紙幣Pを紙幣通路18で紙幣集積部31の上部に搬送し、繰出手段33で逆方向に搬送して紙幣集積部31の上部に繰り込む。このとき、ステージ53を上昇させてこのステージ53上またはステージ53上の出金紙幣P上に入金リジェクト紙幣を受け取るとともに、図示しない集積レバーで押さえることにより、正常に集積させることができる。 In accordance with the withdrawal transaction command by the customer's operation, the necessary number of banknotes P is fed out one by one from the respective storage boxes 17 of the denomination corresponding to the specified withdrawal banknote P to the banknote passage 18, and the banknotes in the banknote path 18 The normal banknote P is identified by the identification section 19 and conveyed to the upper part of the banknote stacking section 31 through the banknote passage 18, transported in the reverse direction by the feeding means 33 and fed into the upper section of the banknote stacking section 31. At this time, the stage 53 is raised and the deposit reject banknote is received on the stage 53 or the withdrawal banknote P on the stage 53, and can be normally stacked by pressing with a stacking lever (not shown).
また、紙幣通路18の紙幣識別部19での識別の結果、リジェクト紙幣は出金リジェクト紙幣収納部20に搬送して収納し、不足する分として該当する金種の収納庫17から紙幣Pを再度繰り出す。 Moreover, as a result of identification in the banknote identification part 19 of the banknote path 18, a reject banknote is conveyed and accommodated in the withdrawal rejection banknote storage part 20, and the banknote P is again taken from the corresponding denomination storage box 17 as a shortage. Pull out.
そして、指定された全ての出金紙幣Pを紙幣集積部31に送り込んだ後、ステージ53を紙幣取引口13の下側に下降させ、シャッタ14を開いて紙幣取引口13から出金紙幣Pを取り出し可能とする。 After all the specified withdrawal banknotes P are sent to the banknote stacking unit 31, the stage 53 is lowered to the lower side of the banknote transaction port 13, the shutter 14 is opened, and the withdrawal banknotes P are transferred from the banknote transaction port 13. It can be taken out.
このように、紙幣入出金装置11では、1つの紙幣集積部31の紙幣収容スペース並びに機構を、紙幣Pの入金部、一時保留部63および出金部として共用できるため、コンパクトに構成でき、コストダウンも図れ、さらに、紙幣集積部31内に入金、一時保留および出金の紙幣Pを収容するため、紙幣取引口13を紙幣入金口、紙幣返却口および紙幣出金口として共用でき、紙幣Pの入出金の取扱いを容易にできる。 Thus, in the banknote depositing / withdrawing apparatus 11, since the banknote accommodation space and mechanism of one banknote stacking unit 31 can be shared as the depositing part of the banknote P, the temporary storage part 63, and the withdrawal part, it can be configured in a compact manner, and the cost can be reduced. In addition, the banknote transaction port 13 can be shared as a banknote depositing port, a banknote return port, and a banknote dispensing port in order to accommodate the banknote P for deposit, temporary hold and withdrawal in the banknote stacking unit 31. Can be easily handled.
次に、入金取引時の紙幣Pに異物Cが混入していた場合の異物排除について説明する。 Next, foreign matter removal when foreign matter C is mixed in the banknote P at the time of deposit transaction will be described.
紙幣集積部31では上下方向に対して傾斜する方向を集積方向として紙幣Pを集積状態で収容するため、この紙幣集積部31にセットした紙幣Pに混入している異物Cは後方に移動して、集積枠部41の開口部44から紙幣集積部31外に排除されやすい。 Since the banknote stacking unit 31 accommodates the banknotes P in a stacking state with the direction inclined with respect to the vertical direction as the stacking direction, the foreign matter C mixed in the banknotes P set in the banknote stacking unit 31 moves backward. Therefore, it is easy to be removed from the banknote stacking unit 31 through the opening 44 of the stacking frame unit 41.
しかも、紙幣集積部31の上部でかつ傾斜の高い側から繰出手段33で紙幣集積部31内の紙幣Pを繰り出すため、つまり紙幣集積部31の上下方向および傾斜方向のそれぞれに対して重力の反対方向へ紙幣Pを繰り出すため、繰り出す紙幣Pに対して異物Cをその自重で分離しやすく、異物Cが繰出通路に入り込むのを少なくできる。 Moreover, because the banknotes P in the banknote stacking unit 31 are fed out from the upper side of the banknote stacking unit 31 and from the side with a high inclination by the feeding means 33, that is, opposite to each of the vertical and inclined directions of the banknote stacking unit 31. Since the banknotes P are fed out in the direction, the foreign matter C can be easily separated from the fed banknotes P by its own weight, and the foreign matter C can be reduced from entering the feeding path.
次に、異物Cが繰出通路67に入り込んだ場合における異物排除動作について、図12のフローチャートを参照して説明する。 Next, the foreign matter removing operation when the foreign matter C enters the feeding passage 67 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
入金取引の際に、紙幣取引口13を通じて多量の紙幣Pをステージ53上に載置してセットする(ステップ1)。 At the time of deposit transaction, a large amount of banknotes P is placed and set on the stage 53 through the banknote transaction port 13 (step 1).
紙幣集積部31のステージ53の上昇と繰出手段33の動作とによって紙幣Pを紙幣通路18に1枚ずつ繰り出して識別、計数する計数動作を開始する(ステップ2)。 The counting operation for feeding, identifying and counting the banknotes P one by one into the banknote passage 18 is started by raising the stage 53 of the banknote stacking unit 31 and the operation of the feeding means 33 (step 2).
繰出手段33による紙幣Pの繰出動作中は、検知手段95の遮光時間を監視し(ステップ3)、紙幣1枚分の遮光時間であれば(ステップ4のYES)、紙幣Pの計数動作を継続する(ステップ5)。 During the feeding operation of the banknote P by the feeding means 33, the light shielding time of the detecting means 95 is monitored (step 3), and if it is the light shielding time for one banknote (YES in step 4), the counting operation of the banknote P is continued. (Step 5).
また、図2(a)に示すように、異物Cが紙幣Pに混入していた場合に、紙幣Pと一緒に異物Cが繰出口66に繰り出されると、ゲート部87において異物Cの規制に所定以上の負荷がかかるために、逆転ローラ83が付勢に抗して退避して異物Cを繰出通路67内に通過させる。 In addition, as shown in FIG. 2A, when the foreign matter C is mixed in the bill P and the foreign matter C is fed to the payout port 66 together with the bill P, the gate portion 87 controls the foreign matter C. Since a load exceeding a predetermined value is applied, the reverse rotation roller 83 is retracted against the urging force and allows the foreign matter C to pass through the feeding passage 67.
ゲート部87を通過した異物Cは、排出爪93を付勢に抗して開きながら、引抜ローラ82との間を通過して、鉛直通路部71つまり非搬送力付与領域91に入る。非搬送力付与領域91では異物Cに対して搬送力が付与されなくなるため、異物Cの自重で落下し、引抜ローラ82やばね付勢によって閉じる排出爪93を通じて異物排出部92から排出される。 The foreign matter C that has passed through the gate portion 87 passes between the pulling roller 82 while opening the discharge claw 93 against urging, and enters the vertical passage portion 71, that is, the non-conveying force application region 91. In the non-conveying force applying region 91, since no conveying force is applied to the foreign matter C, the foreign matter C falls by its own weight, and is discharged from the foreign matter discharge portion 92 through the discharge claw 93 that is closed by the pulling roller 82 and the spring bias.
図2(b)(c)に示すように、異物Cが紙幣Pと一緒に鉛直通路部71の上部側へ移動した場合、繰出通路67の湾曲部72で構成される異物停止部78で通過できずに停止され、紙幣Pのみが通過していく。このとき、異物Cは噛み込み状態とはならないとともに、紙幣Pが通過することで異物Cに対して搬送力が付与されなくなるため、異物Cが自重で落下し、引抜ローラ82や排出爪93を通じて異物排出部92から排出される。 As shown in FIGS. 2B and 2C, when the foreign matter C moves together with the banknote P to the upper side of the vertical passage portion 71, it passes through the foreign matter stop portion 78 constituted by the curved portion 72 of the feeding passage 67. It stops without being able to do it, and only the banknote P passes. At this time, the foreign matter C is not in a state of being bitten, and the conveyance force is not applied to the foreign matter C when the banknote P passes through, so the foreign matter C falls by its own weight and passes through the drawing roller 82 and the discharge claw 93. It is discharged from the foreign matter discharge section 92.
異物Cが落下せずに異物停止部78で停止している場合、検知手段95が遮光状態を継続し、紙幣1枚分の遮光時間以上であると(ステップ4のNO)、検知手段95が遮光状態を確認し(ステップ6)、異物残留による遮光なのかを判断する。 When the foreign object C does not fall and is stopped at the foreign object stopping portion 78, the detection means 95 continues the light shielding state, and if it is longer than the light shielding time for one bill (NO in step 4), the detection means 95 is The light shielding state is confirmed (step 6), and it is determined whether the light shielding is caused by the remaining foreign matter.
検知手段95の遮光が紙幣の滞留や連鎖であると判断すれば(ステップ6のNO)、紙幣Pの計数動作を継続する(ステップ7)。 If it is determined that the light shielding of the detecting means 95 is the staying or chaining of banknotes (NO in step 6), the counting operation of the banknotes P is continued (step 7).
検知手段95の遮光が異物滞留であると判断すれば(ステップ6のYES)、繰出手段33による繰出動作を停止し(ステップ8)、図2(d)に示すように、開閉駆動手段131によって前側の通路部材74の上部側を前方へ移動させて繰出通路67を開放させることにより(ステップ9)、異物停止部78で停止している異物Cが落下して異物排出部92から排出される。このとき、繰出通路67の部材にソレノイドやモータなどの駆動で振動を付与し、異物停止部78で停止している異物Cが落下しやすくなるようにしてもよい。 If it is determined that the light shielding of the detection means 95 is foreign matter retention (YES in step 6), the feeding operation by the feeding means 33 is stopped (step 8), and the opening / closing drive means 131 is used as shown in FIG. By moving the upper side of the front passage member 74 forward to open the feeding passage 67 (step 9), the foreign matter C stopped at the foreign matter stop portion 78 falls and is discharged from the foreign matter discharge portion 92. . At this time, vibration may be applied to the member of the feeding passage 67 by driving a solenoid or a motor so that the foreign matter C stopped by the foreign matter stopping portion 78 can be easily dropped.
異物Cが排出されて検知手段95が透光状態になれば(ステップ10のYES)、開閉駆動手段131で繰出通路67を閉じ(ステップ11)、繰出手段33による繰出動作を再開する(ステップ12)。 When the foreign matter C is discharged and the detecting means 95 becomes translucent (YES in step 10), the opening / closing drive means 131 closes the feeding path 67 (step 11), and the feeding operation by the feeding means 33 is resumed (step 12). ).
また、検知手段95の遮光状態のままであれば(ステップ10のNO)、開閉駆動手段131で繰出通路67を閉じ(ステップ13)、開閉駆動手段131で繰出通路67を再度開き、これの繰出通路67の開閉を所定のN回目まで繰り返す(ステップ14のYES)。 If the detection means 95 remains in the light-shielded state (NO in step 10), the opening / closing driving means 131 closes the feeding path 67 (step 13), and the opening / closing driving means 131 reopens the feeding path 67, and this is fed out. The opening and closing of the passage 67 is repeated up to a predetermined Nth time (YES in step 14).
検知手段95の遮光状態のまま、所定のN回目まで繰り返してた場合には、自動復旧不可と判断して装置を停止させる(ステップ15)。 If the detection means 95 is kept in the light-shielded state and is repeated up to a predetermined N-th time, it is determined that automatic recovery is impossible and the apparatus is stopped (step 15).
このように、検知手段95で異物Cを検知したら繰出動作を停止して開閉駆動手段131で繰出通路67を開放させ、検知手段95で異物Cを検知しなくなれば開閉駆動手段131で繰出通路67を閉じて繰出動作を再開させるため、紙幣Pの繰出動作中でも自動的に異物Cを排出して繰出動作を自動的に継続できる。 In this way, when the detecting means 95 detects the foreign matter C, the feeding operation is stopped and the opening / closing driving means 131 opens the feeding passage 67. When the detecting means 95 does not detect the foreign matter C, the opening / closing driving means 131 uses the feeding passage 67. Is closed and the feeding operation is resumed, so that the foreign matter C can be automatically discharged and the feeding operation can be continued automatically even during the bill P feeding operation.
特に、繰り出す紙幣Pの通過を1枚に規制するゲート部87では紙幣Pに混入して異物Cが繰り出される場合にその異物Cの規制に所定以上の負荷がかかると異物Cを繰出通路67に通過させ、異物Cの移動を許容する繰出通路67内で異物停止部78により異物Cを停止させるとともに、異物排出部92により繰出通路67内の異物Cを繰出通路67外に排出するため、ゲート部87で異物Cを噛み込むのを防止でき、繰出通路67で異物Cを排出できる。 In particular, in the gate portion 87 that restricts the passage of the bill P to be fed out, when the foreign matter C is fed out by being mixed into the bill P, the foreign matter C is put into the feeding passage 67 if a load exceeding a predetermined level is applied to the regulation of the foreign matter C. The foreign matter C is stopped by the foreign matter stopping portion 78 in the feeding passage 67 that allows passage of the foreign matter C and the foreign matter C in the feeding passage 67 is discharged out of the feeding passage 67 by the foreign matter discharge portion 92. The portion 87 can prevent the foreign matter C from being bitten, and the foreign matter C can be discharged through the feeding passage 67.
また、異物停止部78を繰出通路67の湾曲部72とし、簡単な構造で異物Cを停止できる。 In addition, the foreign matter stopping portion 78 is used as the curved portion 72 of the feeding passage 67, so that the foreign matter C can be stopped with a simple structure.
