本発明は、一時保留された紙幣を整列した状態で出金口に払い出す紙幣処理装置に関し、特に、紙幣収納庫の紙幣を出金口から釣銭として払い出す釣銭機に適用して好適な紙幣処理装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a banknote processing apparatus that pays out temporarily held banknotes to a withdrawal port, and particularly suitable for a change machine that dispenses banknotes in a banknote storage as change from a withdrawal port. The present invention relates to a processing apparatus.

従来から、自動販売機や両替機には、その機体内部の前面側に設けられ、入金された紙幣を判別して受け入れ可能な紙幣を収納するとともに、収納した紙幣を釣銭用紙幣や両替用紙幣として出金させる紙幣処理装置が用いられている。   2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, vending machines and currency exchange machines are provided on the front side of the inside of the machine body and store banknotes that can be received by discriminating deposited banknotes, and the stored banknotes can be used for change banknotes or exchange banknotes. Is used as a banknote processing apparatus.

この種の先行する技術として、例えば特許文献1に記載された紙幣処理装置は、紙幣を収納する収納部と、該収納部に収納された紙幣を一枚ずつ分離して繰り出す分離繰出部と、該分離繰出部で繰り出された紙幣を複数枚一括して出金可能な集積出金部とを有し、複数の紙幣を一括して出金させる上で、コストを低減でき、水平方向に小型化可能なものである。この紙幣処理装置は、収納部から分離繰出部で繰り出された紙幣を複数枚一括して出金可能な集積出金部(142)が、収納部から分離繰出部で繰り出された紙幣Sを、厚さ方向を横にした状態で下方に放出させる放出口(144)と、放出口(144)から放出された紙幣Sの下端部を下方で受け入れるとともに複数の紙幣Sを受け入れ可能であって上方の出金口(146)に向けて移動可能な集積ポケット部材(155)と、放出口(144)から放出されて集積ポケット部材(155)で下端部が受けられた紙幣Sを出金口(146)側に押圧する押え部材(163)と、集積ポケット部材(155)と押え部材(163)とを駆動する一つの駆動源(153)とによって構成されている。ここで、括弧内の符号は、いずれも特許文献1の図16において用いられている数字である。   As this type of prior art, for example, a banknote processing apparatus described in Patent Document 1 includes a storage unit that stores banknotes, a separation feeding unit that separates and feeds out banknotes stored in the storage unit one by one, It has an integrated withdrawal part that can withdraw a plurality of banknotes fed out by the separating and feeding part at a time, and can reduce the cost when dispensing a plurality of banknotes in a lump. It can be made. In this banknote handling apparatus, an integrated dispensing unit (142) capable of dispensing a plurality of banknotes fed out from the storage unit by the separation / feeding unit at a time, and a banknote S fed out from the storage unit by the separation / feeding unit, A discharge port (144) that discharges downward in a state where the thickness direction is horizontal, and a lower end portion of the banknote S discharged from the discharge port (144) are received at the lower side and a plurality of banknotes S can be received. A collecting pocket member (155) movable toward the dispensing port (146), and a banknote S discharged from the discharge port (144) and received at the lower end by the collecting pocket member (155). 146) and a single driving source (153) for driving the accumulation pocket member (155) and the pressing member (163).

ところで、スーパーマーケットなどのPOS(Point Of Sales)レジスタに併設される釣銭機では、上述した自動販売機の紙幣処理装置などと同様に、その紙幣収納庫などから紙幣を出金する際に、1枚ずつ送り出されてくる紙幣を一時保留し、指定された金額になってから出金口に一括して釣銭として出金するようにしている。この場合、筐体前面から紙幣を挿入し、釣銭を出金する構成である点は自動販売機と同様であるが、釣銭機の筐体は垂直方向に小型化することが望まれている。   By the way, in a change machine attached to a POS (Point Of Sales) register such as a supermarket, when a banknote is withdrawn from the banknote storage, etc., as with the banknote processing apparatus of the vending machine described above, Banknotes sent out one by one are temporarily held, and after a specified amount is reached, they are withdrawn as change in a lump sum. In this case, it is the same as the vending machine in that the bill is inserted from the front of the housing and the change is withdrawn. However, it is desired that the housing of the changer be downsized in the vertical direction.

図5は、従来の釣銭機出金口の断面構成を示す模式図、図6は、従来の釣銭機の紙幣払い出し動作(その1)を示す図である。
この釣銭機は、釣銭紙幣が収納されている図示しない紙幣収納庫、この紙幣収納庫から紙幣BNを計数して搬送する搬送路1、所定金額となるまで複数枚の紙幣BNsを一時保留する一時保留部2、および釣銭機正面に配置された出金口3などを備え、出金口3から一括して釣銭紙幣を払い出すように構成されている。
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing a cross-sectional configuration of a conventional change machine dispensing port, and FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a bill dispensing operation (part 1) of a conventional change machine.
This change machine includes a banknote storage (not shown) in which change banknotes are stored, a conveyance path 1 that counts and transports banknotes BN from the banknote storage, and temporarily holds a plurality of banknotes BNs until a predetermined amount is reached. The holding unit 2, the withdrawal port 3 disposed in front of the change machine, and the like are provided, and the change banknotes are collectively paid out from the withdrawal port 3.

搬送路1は、その下部ベース11と上部ベース12にそれぞれ配置された図示しない複数のフィードローラによって、紙幣BNの短手方向を搬送方向に一致させた状態で、紙幣BNを1枚ずつ紙幣出口部13まで搬送するように構成されている。   The conveyance path 1 has a plurality of feed rollers (not shown) arranged on the lower base 11 and the upper base 12 respectively to feed the banknotes BN one by one in a state where the short direction of the banknotes BN coincides with the transport direction. It is configured to convey to the section 13.

一時保留部2の下部ベース21は、搬送路1の紙幣出口部13よりも下方に位置し、そこに搬入された紙幣BNsを一時保持する紙幣保持面が構成される。釣銭紙幣の出金口3は、例えば水平線に対しておよそ10°だけ傾斜する紙幣保持面(下部ベース21)によって、紙幣BNの搬入方向に向かって上向きになるように形成されている。   The lower base 21 of the temporary storage part 2 is located below the banknote exit part 13 of the conveyance path 1, and the banknote holding surface which hold | maintains the banknote BNs carried in there temporarily is comprised. The change banknote outlet 3 is formed so as to face upward in the banknote BN loading direction, for example, by a banknote holding surface (lower base 21) inclined by about 10 ° with respect to the horizontal line.

紙幣出口部13には、搬送路1からの紙幣BNを一時保留部2に導くための羽根車4が、複数のフィードローラ5と同軸に、かつその位置をずらして配置されている。
この羽根車4には、5枚の弾性を有する羽根41〜45が等角度で放射状に設けられていて、これらの羽根41〜45が羽根車4とともに回転するように駆動される。したがって、搬送路1の紙幣出口部13まで搬送された紙幣BNは、フィードローラ5によって押し出され、その搬入方向後方端側が羽根車4の羽根41〜45によって一時保留部2の紙幣保持面に叩き落される。
An impeller 4 for guiding the banknote BN from the transport path 1 to the temporary storage section 2 is arranged in the banknote exit section 13 coaxially with the plurality of feed rollers 5 and shifted in position.
The impeller 4 is provided with five blades 41 to 45 having elasticity in a radial manner at an equal angle, and these blades 41 to 45 are driven to rotate together with the impeller 4. Therefore, the banknote BN conveyed to the banknote exit part 13 of the conveyance path 1 is pushed out by the feed roller 5, and the rear end side in the carry-in direction strikes the banknote holding surface of the temporary storage part 2 by the blades 41 to 45 of the impeller 4. It is dropped.

一時保留部2には、紙幣保持面に積重ねられた紙幣BNsと対向する位置に札押え6が配置されている。この札押え6は、紙幣出口部13の近傍に回転支軸61を備え、搬送路1から搬入される紙幣BNを一時保留部2に案内するとともに、紙幣BNの搬入方向前方を上面から札押え6の自由端62側で押さえつけている。これによって、1枚ずつ紙幣出口部13まで搬送された紙幣BNを一時保留部2内に整列させるだけでなく、一時保留部2の狭いスペースに多量の紙幣BNsを積重ねて集積するようにしている。   In the temporary storage part 2, a bill presser 6 is arranged at a position facing the banknotes BNs stacked on the banknote holding surface. This bill presser 6 includes a rotary support 61 in the vicinity of the bill outlet 13, guides the bill BN carried in from the transport path 1 to the temporary storage unit 2, and presses the bill BN in the forward direction from the top. 6 is pressed on the free end 62 side. Thereby, not only the banknotes BN conveyed to the banknote exit part 13 one by one are aligned in the temporary storage part 2, but a large amount of banknotes BNs are stacked and accumulated in a narrow space of the temporary storage part 2. .

この札押さえ6は、紙幣の集積時に先端が集積紙幣に接する位置まで降りていることから、一時保留部2に搬入されてくる紙幣BNは札押さえ6によってガイドされながら、さらに集積された紙幣BNsを出金口3側で押さえつけることができる。これにより、次に搬入される紙幣の集積スペースが阻害されないようにしている。   Since the bill holder 6 is lowered to a position where the tip comes into contact with the stacked banknote when the banknotes are stacked, the banknote BN carried into the temporary storage unit 2 is guided by the bill holder 6 and further stacked banknotes BNs. Can be pressed on the withdrawal port 3 side. Thereby, the accumulation space of the banknotes carried in next is prevented from being disturbed.

なお、一時保留部2の出金口3には、上下方向にスライドするシャッタ7が設けられている。この一時保留部2は、紙幣保持面に搬入された紙幣BNsの押出機構としてプッシャ8を備えており、ここに集積された紙幣BNsを一括してその後方から搬入方向前方に押し出すようにしている。   Note that a shutter 7 that slides in the vertical direction is provided at the withdrawal port 3 of the temporary storage unit 2. The temporary storage unit 2 includes a pusher 8 as an extruding mechanism for the banknote BNs carried into the banknote holding surface, and pushes out the banknotes BNs accumulated therein from the rear to the front in the carry-in direction. .

シャッタ7は、紙幣BNが一時保留部2に搬入されている間は出金口3を塞ぐように進入し、所定金額の釣銭に対応するまで紙幣BNsの集積が完了すると下方に退避する。そして、このシャッタ7の退避に連動してプッシャ8が前方に駆動されることにより、整列した状態の複数の紙幣BNsを一括して出金口3に釣銭として押出して払い出すようにしている。   The shutter 7 enters so as to block the withdrawal port 3 while the banknote BN is carried into the temporary storage unit 2, and retracts downward when the accumulation of the banknote BNs is completed until it corresponds to a predetermined amount of change. Then, the pusher 8 is driven forward in conjunction with the retraction of the shutter 7, whereby a plurality of aligned banknotes BNs are collectively pushed out to the dispensing port 3 as change and then dispensed.

図7は、従来の釣銭機の紙幣払い出し動作(その2)を示す図である。
このような釣銭機では、一時保留部2の紙幣保持面に集積された紙幣BNsを羽根車4と札押え6が押え付け、そこに後続して搬入される紙幣BNの搬入空間を確保するようにしている。この場合、一括して出金するために保留されている紙幣BNsに折れ癖があったとき、一時保留部2に後続して搬入される紙幣BNとの間での紙幣詰まり(ジャム)が生じないようにする必要があった。

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a bill dispensing operation (part 2) of a conventional change machine.
In such a change machine, the impeller 4 and the bill presser 6 press the banknotes BNs accumulated on the banknote holding surface of the temporary storage unit 2 so as to secure a carry-in space for the banknotes BN carried in after that. I have to. In this case, when there is a fold in the banknote BNs held for withdrawal in a lump, banknote jamming (jam) occurs between the banknote BN carried in after the temporary holding section 2. There was no need to be.
JP 2007-4462 (paragraph numbers [0091] to [0118], FIG. 16 and the like)

図8は、従来の釣銭機の集積時におけるジャム発生の原因を説明する図である。
一時保留部2の札押え6の自由端62近傍では、そこに搬入される紙幣BNと既に集積されている紙幣BNsとの間で抵抗が生じる。とくに、紙幣BNの前方に折れ癖があると、図8に示すように、紙幣BNが札押え6を押し上げることができないから、その集積に際して紙幣先端がシャッタ7まで到達しないおそれがあった。
FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the cause of the occurrence of a jam when the conventional change machine is stacked.
In the vicinity of the free end 62 of the bill holder 6 of the temporary holding unit 2, resistance is generated between the banknote BN carried therein and the banknote BNs already accumulated. In particular, if there is a crease in front of the banknote BN, as shown in FIG. 8, the banknote BN cannot push up the presser foot 6, so that the banknote tip may not reach the shutter 7 during the stacking.

すなわち、紙幣BNの先端部が出金口3の直前にまで到達しない状態では、出金口3近傍に搬入される後続紙幣と衝突してジャムが発生しやすい。そこで、札押さえ6の重量をある程度軽く構成しておけば、搬入される紙幣BNのジャムを防止し、一時保留部2に確実に紙幣を整列して集積することができる。   That is, in a state where the leading end of the banknote BN does not reach the position immediately before the withdrawal port 3, it is easy to generate a jam by colliding with a subsequent banknote carried in the vicinity of the withdrawal port 3. Therefore, if the weight of the bill holder 6 is made light to some extent, it is possible to prevent jamming of the banknote BN that is carried in, and to securely align and stack the banknotes in the temporary storage unit 2.

図9は、従来の釣銭機の払い出し時における不具合を説明する図である。
集積された紙幣BNsは、プッシャ8によって出金口3から払い出される。そのとき、一時保留部2では紙幣BNsの上面に札押さえ6が乗り上げることで、その自重が加えられて、紙幣BNsをプッシャ8の押出しと同じ速度で押出すようにしている。ところが、札押さえ6の重量が軽すぎると、紙幣BNsに対する加重が小さくなるため、払い出しされる紙幣はプッシャ8の速度以上に加速されて出金口3の外側まで飛び出して、床に落下するなどのトラブルが発生するおそれがあった。したがって、紙幣BNsの排出速度を調整して、確実に出金口3で停止させるためには、札押さえ6の重量をあまり軽くすることはできない。
FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining a problem when paying out a conventional change machine.
The accumulated banknotes BNs are paid out from the withdrawal port 3 by the pusher 8. At that time, the temporary holding unit 2 pushes the bill holder 6 on the upper surface of the banknote BNs so that its own weight is applied, and the banknote BNs is pushed out at the same speed as the pusher 8 is pushed out. However, if the weight of the bill holder 6 is too light, the weight on the banknote BNs is reduced, so that the banknote to be paid out is accelerated beyond the speed of the pusher 8 and jumps to the outside of the dispensing port 3 and falls to the floor. There was a risk of problems occurring. Therefore, in order to adjust the discharge speed of the banknotes BNs and reliably stop the banknote BNs at the dispensing port 3, the weight of the bill holder 6 cannot be reduced too much.

このように、従来の紙幣処理装置では札押さえ6の重さが十分正確に設定されている必要があり、札押さえ6が重過ぎた場合は紙幣集積時のジャム発生の原因となるだけでなく、反対に軽すぎて紙幣に対する負荷が不十分になれば、紙幣BNsを出金口3で停止させられないという問題があった。   As described above, in the conventional banknote processing apparatus, the weight of the bill holder 6 needs to be set sufficiently accurately. If the bill holder 6 is too heavy, it not only causes jamming during bill accumulation. On the contrary, if it is too light and the load on the banknote becomes insufficient, there is a problem that the banknote BNs cannot be stopped at the withdrawal port 3.

本発明はこのような点に鑑みてなされたものであり、紙幣の出金口での紙幣詰まりと紙幣の飛び出しを防止した紙幣処理装置を提供することを目的とする。   This invention is made | formed in view of such a point, and it aims at providing the banknote processing apparatus which prevented the banknote jam and the popping-out of the banknote at the banknote discharge port.

本発明では、上記問題を解決するために、一時保留された紙幣を整列した状態で出金口に払い出す紙幣処理装置において、紙幣を搬送する搬送路と、前記搬送路の紙幣出口部側に配置され、前記紙幣出口部からの搬入紙幣を一時保留する一時保留部と、前記一時保留部に搬入された紙幣の搬入方向前方に配置され、前記出金口への紙幣通路を開閉するシャッタと、前記紙幣出口部近傍の回動支軸と前記紙幣の搬入方向前方に延びる自由端を有し、前記自由端が一時保留された紙幣から離れた待機位置、および前記紙幣に荷重を加えるように接触した負荷位置との間で揺動可能な札押えと、を有することを特徴とする紙幣処理装置が提供される。   In this invention, in order to solve the said problem, in the banknote processing apparatus which pays out the banknote temporarily suspended to the withdrawal port in the state which arranged, it is in the conveyance path which conveys a banknote, and the banknote exit part side of the said conveyance path A temporary holding unit that is arranged and temporarily holds the banknotes brought in from the banknote exit unit, and a shutter that is arranged in front of the banking direction of the banknotes carried into the temporary holding unit and opens and closes the banknote passage to the withdrawal port. A rotation support shaft in the vicinity of the banknote outlet and a free end extending forward in the banking direction of the banknote, and the free end is placed at a standby position away from the temporarily held banknote, and a load is applied to the banknote. There is provided a bill processing device having a bill presser capable of swinging between contacted load positions.

本発明の紙幣処理装置では、札押えの自由端が一時保留された紙幣から離れた待機位置と紙幣に接触して荷重を加える負荷位置との間で揺動することによって、紙幣の集積時におけるジャム発生を防止し、かつ札押えを払い出される紙幣が飛び出さないだけの重さに構成することで、出金される紙幣に適切な荷重を加えるようにした。   In the banknote handling apparatus of the present invention, the free end of the presser foot swings between a standby position away from the temporarily held banknote and a load position that contacts the banknote and applies a load, thereby collecting the banknote during stacking. An appropriate load is applied to the banknotes to be dispensed by preventing the occurrence of a jam and making the bill presser so that it does not pop out.

本発明によれば、搬入紙幣が一時保留される一時保留部内の待機位置および負荷位置との間で揺動可能な札押えを設けることにより、紙幣集積時の出金口近傍での紙幣詰まり、払い出し時における紙幣の飛び出しのいずれをも防止することができる。   According to the present invention, by providing a bill presser capable of swinging between a standby position and a load position in a temporary holding unit in which incoming banknotes are temporarily held, a paper jam is jammed in the vicinity of a withdrawal port at the time of banknote stacking, It is possible to prevent any banknotes from being thrown out.

Two feed rollers 5a and 5b are disposed at the banknote outlet 13, and impellers 4a, 4b and 4c and 4d coaxial with the feed rollers 5a and 5b are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the feed rollers 5a and 5b. It is arranged one by one. In these impellers 4a to 4d, five elastic blades 41 to 45 are provided radially at equal angles (see FIG. 1). These blades 41 to 45 are configured to guide the banknote BN from the transport path 1 to the temporary storage unit 2 by being rotationally driven integrally with the feed rollers 5a and 5b.

一時保留部2には、紙幣保持面に積重ねられた紙幣BNsと対向する位置に札押え6が配置されている。一時保留部2の出金口3には、上下方向にスライドするシャッタ7が設けられている。また、この一時保留部2は、紙幣保持面に搬入された紙幣BNsの紙幣押出機構として、集積された紙幣BNsを後方から搬入方向前方に押し出すプッシャ8を備えている。   In the temporary storage part 2, a bill presser 6 is arranged at a position facing the banknotes BNs stacked on the banknote holding surface. The withdrawal port 3 of the temporary storage unit 2 is provided with a shutter 7 that slides up and down. Moreover, this temporary storage part 2 is provided with the pusher 8 which pushes the accumulated banknote BNs forward from the back in the carrying-in direction as a banknote pushing mechanism of the banknote BNs carried in to the banknote holding surface.

札押え6は紙幣出口部13の近傍で回転支軸61によって支持され、さらに紙幣の搬入方向前方に延びる自由端62を備えている。札押え6の自由端62には、図2に示すように、2枚の押え板62a,62bが上下方向にスライドするシャッタ7の間隔だけ離れて設けられている。また、札押え6の回転支軸61側には、それぞれ左右の羽根車4a,4bおよび4c,4dに対応する位置に所定幅のスリット部63a〜63dが設けられ、羽根車4a〜4dが回転する際に、それらの羽根41〜45がその放射方向に伸びた状態で札押え6を通過できるように構成されている。   The bill presser 6 is supported by a rotary spindle 61 in the vicinity of the bill outlet 13 and further includes a free end 62 extending forward in the bill carrying-in direction. As shown in FIG. 2, two presser plates 62a and 62b are provided at the free end 62 of the bill presser 6 so as to be separated from each other by an interval of the shutter 7 that slides in the vertical direction.

次に、上記構成の釣銭機における釣銭支払動作について説明する。
図3は、実施の形態に係る釣銭機の紙幣集積動作を示す図である。
最初に、図示しない紙幣収納庫から釣銭金額に相当する紙幣BNが計数されて、搬送路1から1枚ずつ一時保留部2まで搬送される。
Next, a change payment operation in the change machine having the above configuration will be described.
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a banknote stacking operation of the change machine according to the embodiment.
First, banknotes BN corresponding to change amounts are counted from a banknote storage (not shown), and are transported one by one from the transport path 1 to the temporary storage unit 2.

紙幣出口部13まで搬送されてきた紙幣BNは、羽根車4とともに回転するフィードローラ5a,5bによって一時保留部2側に押し出され、その後端部を羽根車4の羽根41〜45で叩かれ、一時保留部2に搬入される。   The banknote BN that has been transported to the banknote exit section 13 is pushed out to the temporary storage section 2 side by feed rollers 5a and 5b that rotate together with the impeller 4, and the rear end of the banknote BN is hit with the blades 41 to 45 of the impeller 4; It is carried into the temporary holding unit 2.

一時保留部2に紙幣BNが搬入されている間は、シャッタ7が出金口3への紙幣通路を塞ぐように上方に移動し、札押え6の自由端62側がシャッタ7の先端に接触して押し上げられている。そのため、札押え6は一時保留部2の紙幣BNsから離れた待機位置に保持された状態となって、一時保留部2には大きな紙幣集積空間が確保される。   While the banknote BN is being carried into the temporary storage unit 2, the shutter 7 moves upward so as to block the banknote passage to the withdrawal port 3, and the free end 62 side of the bill holder 6 contacts the tip of the shutter 7. Pushed up. Therefore, the bill holder 6 is held at a standby position away from the banknote BNs of the temporary storage unit 2, and a large banknote accumulation space is secured in the temporary storage unit 2.

したがって、後続する紙幣BNがその前方に折れ癖を有していたとしても、紙幣BNsからの抵抗を受けることなしに一時保留部2に搬入できる。その後、所定金額の釣銭に対応する紙幣BNsの集積が完了するとシャッタ7は下方に退避して、この釣銭機は紙幣払い出し動作に移る。   Therefore, even if the succeeding banknote BN has a crease in its front, it can be carried into the temporary storage unit 2 without receiving resistance from the banknote BNs. Thereafter, when the accumulation of banknotes BNs corresponding to a predetermined amount of change is completed, the shutter 7 is retracted downward, and the change machine moves to a banknote dispensing operation.

図4は、実施の形態に係る釣銭機の紙幣払い出し動作を示す図である。
シャッタ7が下方に退避されると、紙幣通路が開かれると同時に札押え6の自由端62側がシャッタ7から離れて負荷位置に移動し、払い出される紙幣BNsの表面と接触した状態になる。この状態で、シャッタ7に連動してプッシャ8が前方に駆動され、紙幣BNsを出金口3の外側に押出す。
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a bill dispensing operation of the change machine according to the embodiment.
When the shutter 7 is retracted downward, the bill passage is opened, and at the same time, the free end 62 side of the bill holder 6 moves away from the shutter 7 to the load position and comes into contact with the surface of the bill BNs to be dispensed. In this state, the pusher 8 is driven forward in conjunction with the shutter 7, and the banknote BNs is pushed out of the dispensing port 3.

このようにシャッタ7に連動して札押え6を位置制御することにより、紙幣集積の際に一時保留部2に大きな紙幣集積空間を確保できるだけでなく、釣銭紙幣を一括して出金口3から払い出す際には、整列した状態の紙幣BNsに札押え6から荷重を加えることで、プッシャ8の押出しと同じ速度で紙幣BNsを押出すことができる。これは、払い出される紙幣BNsが飛び出さないように、札押え6には十分な重さを持たせることが可能だからである。   Thus, by controlling the position of the bill presser 6 in conjunction with the shutter 7, not only can a large banknote stacking space be secured in the temporary storage unit 2 during banknote stacking, but also change banknotes can be collected from the withdrawal port 3 in a lump. When paying out, the bill BNs can be pushed out at the same speed as the pusher 8 is pushed by applying a load from the bill holder 6 to the bills BNs in an aligned state. This is because the bill holder 6 can be given sufficient weight so that the bill BNs to be paid out does not pop out.

以上に説明した釣銭機では、シャッタ7によって札押え6の自由端62が一時保留された紙幣BNsから離れた待機位置と紙幣BNsに接触して荷重を加える負荷位置との間で揺動するように構成されているため、紙幣BNsの集積時における出金口3側の紙幣詰まりを防止するだけでなく、プッシャ8によって集積された紙幣BNsを出金口3から払い出すとき、札押え6により所定の荷重を加えることで紙幣BNsを出金口3で停止するようにして、釣銭紙幣の飛び出しを確実に防止できる。   In the change machine described above, the free end 62 of the bill holder 6 is swung between the standby position away from the banknote BNs temporarily held by the shutter 7 and the load position where the banknote BNs contacts and applies a load. Therefore, not only the banknote clogging on the side of the withdrawal port 3 when collecting the banknotes BNs is prevented, but also when the banknotes BNs accumulated by the pusher 8 are paid out from the withdrawal port 3, By applying a predetermined load, the banknote BNs is stopped at the dispensing port 3, and the change banknote can be reliably prevented from popping out.

なお、上述した実施の形態の釣銭機では、札押え6を位置制御する際に、その自由端62とシャッタ7の上部端面とを接触させているが、札押え6の回転支軸61側、あるいは左右端側で位置制御して、札押え6が揺動するように構成してもよい。   In the change machine of the above-described embodiment, when the position of the bill holder 6 is controlled, the free end 62 and the upper end surface of the shutter 7 are brought into contact with each other. Or you may comprise so that position control may be carried out by the left-right end side, and the bill holder 6 may rock | fluctuate.

また、ここでは本発明を釣銭機に適用したものについて説明したが、釣銭機以外の紙幣処理装置にも適用できる。
なお、本発明の紙幣処理装置を紙幣以外の紙葉類の処理についても適用できることはいうまでもない。
Moreover, although what applied this invention to the change machine was demonstrated here, it is applicable also to banknote processing apparatuses other than a change machine.
Needless to say, the banknote handling apparatus of the present invention can also be applied to processing of paper sheets other than banknotes.
