Description

本発明は、紙幣収納装置に関し、特に紙幣を一枚ずつ取り込んで、それを整列して安定に積重ねて紙幣収納庫に収納する紙幣収納装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a banknote storage device, and more particularly, to a banknote storage device that takes banknotes one by one, aligns them stably, and stores them in a banknote storage.

従来のこの種の紙幣収納装置としては、例えば、特開平9−301593号公報(特許文献1)に開示されたものが知られている。この従来の装置は、紙葉類(紙幣)を一枚ずつ集積部に取込んで集積する紙葉類集積装置であって、前記集積部に導かれる紙葉類の先端部を保持しながら取込み搬送する先端保持手段と、前記集積部に取込まれる紙葉類の搬送位置を検知する搬送位置検知手段と、前記搬送位置検知手段の検知信号に基いて紙葉類の取込みタイミングと紙葉類の先端保持動作とを同期して制御する制御手段とを備え、前記先端保持手段は、紙葉類の先端を係合保持する係合保持突起を取込み搬送用のベルト面に形成し、それを紙葉類の係合位置と退避位置とに切換える切換え手段を備えたものである。   As a conventional banknote storage device of this type, for example, one disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-301593 (Patent Document 1) is known. This conventional apparatus is a paper sheet stacking apparatus that takes in paper sheets (banknotes) one by one into a stacking section and stacks them while holding the leading end of the paper sheets guided to the stacking section. Leading edge holding means for conveying; conveying position detecting means for detecting the conveying position of the paper sheets taken into the stacking unit; taking-in timing of the paper sheets and paper sheets based on the detection signal of the conveying position detecting means; Control means for controlling the leading edge holding operation in synchronism with the leading edge holding means, wherein the leading edge holding means takes in the engagement holding projection for engaging and holding the leading edge of the paper sheet, and forms it on the belt surface for conveyance. Switching means for switching between the paper sheet engaging position and the retracted position is provided.

この紙葉類集積装置によれば、紙葉類の集積時には集積部に導かれる紙葉類の先端部を先端保持手段で保持しながら取込み搬送するため、この集積部に導かれた紙葉類は集積部の空間部に直進状態で搬入され、一枚ずつ安定した集積動作がなされる。したがって、集積部に腰の弱い紙葉類や変形した状態の紙葉類が導かれても、先垂れ状態等のない信頼性の高い取込み動作を行うことができ、先垂れ等に伴う詰まりの発生を防止した安定した集積をすることができる。また、紙葉類の集積時に、搬送位置検出手段が集積部に搬入する紙葉類の搬送位置を検出することに基いて、制御手段が紙葉類の取込みタイミングと紙葉類の先端保持動作とを同期して制御するため、紙葉類を一枚ずつ個別に保持して正確に集積することができる。さらに、紙葉類の取込み位置に応じて、係合保持突起を係合位置と退避位置とに切換える場合は、紙葉類を集積位置まで係合保持して導き、集積位置に到達した時点で係合保持作用を開放することにより、紙葉類を最適な集積位置に揃えて集積動作することができる。   According to the paper sheet stacking apparatus, the paper sheets guided to the stacking unit are collected and conveyed while being held by the tip holding means when the paper sheets are stacked. Are carried straight into the space of the stacking unit, and a stable stacking operation is performed one by one. Therefore, even if paper sheets that are weak or deformed are guided to the stacking unit, a highly reliable take-in operation without a drooping state can be performed, and clogging caused by dripping or the like can be performed. It is possible to perform stable integration that is prevented from occurring. Further, when the paper sheets are stacked, the control means detects the paper sheet taking-in timing and the leading edge holding operation of the paper sheets based on the fact that the transport position detecting means detects the transport position of the paper sheets carried into the stacking unit. Since paper sheets are controlled in synchronization with each other, paper sheets can be held individually and accurately stacked. Furthermore, when the engagement holding projection is switched between the engagement position and the retracted position according to the take-in position of the paper sheet, the paper sheet is engaged and held to the stacking position, and when the stacking position is reached. By releasing the engagement and holding action, the sheets can be stacked in an optimal stacking position.

すなわち、この従来の紙葉類集積装置は、紙葉類の紙質、腰の弱さに拘らず、各種の紙葉類を一枚ずつ確実に保持して集積動作することができる安定した集積処理をすることが可能である。   In other words, this conventional paper sheet stacking apparatus is a stable stacking process that can reliably hold and stack various paper sheets one by one, regardless of the paper quality and weakness of the paper sheets. It is possible to

特開平9−301593号公報JP-A-9-301593

ところで、特許文献1に記載される紙葉類集積装置は、集積部に導かれる紙葉類の先端部を先端保持手段で保持しながら、その紙葉類を一枚ずつ安定して集積位置に揃えて集積動作するものであるが、一旦集積部に集積された紙葉類はなんらの拘束も受けずにその位置に積重ねられるだけなので、例えば紙葉類に折れや曲がり等の癖戻りが発生すると、それらの紙葉類の集積状態が乱れる恐れがあった。そして、そのように集積状態が乱れた紙葉類をその集積部から搬出手段により搬出して再利用する場合は、紙葉類が集積部において詰まって搬出できない不具合が発生する虞があった。このような不具合は、紙幣を入出金処理する紙幣処理装置においては特に問題となるものである。   By the way, the paper sheet stacking apparatus described in Patent Document 1 holds the paper sheet guided to the stacking unit with the tip holding means while stably holding the paper sheet one by one at the stacking position. Although the paper sheets once stacked in the stacking section are only stacked at that position without any restriction, for example, paper sheets may be folded or bent back. Then, there was a possibility that the accumulation state of those paper sheets would be disturbed. Then, when the paper sheets in which the stacking state is disturbed are transported from the stacking unit by the unloading means and reused, there is a possibility that the paper sheets are jammed in the stacking unit and cannot be transported. Such inconvenience becomes a problem particularly in a banknote processing apparatus for depositing / withdrawing banknotes.

本発明は、以上のような課題を解決するためになされたものであり、紙幣を紙幣収納庫(集積部)に収納する場合に、紙幣を拘束してその癖戻りを無くして安定にその紙幣収納部に集積することで、それらの紙幣を紙幣収納部から搬出する場合にも紙幣の詰まりを防止して正常出金不可等の不具合を防止するとともに、紙幣の紙幣収納部への集積を、連続して効率的に行うことができる紙幣収納装置を提供することを目的とするものである。   The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problems. When the banknotes are stored in the banknote storage (stacking unit), the banknotes are restrained to eliminate their return and stably. By accumulating in the storage unit, even when those banknotes are carried out from the banknote storage unit, the banknotes are prevented from being clogged and troubles such as normal withdrawal are prevented, and the banknotes are accumulated in the banknote storage unit. It aims at providing the banknote storage apparatus which can be performed efficiently continuously.

上記課題を解決するため、請求項1に係る発明は、紙幣を一枚ずつ取り込んで収納する紙幣収納庫と、前記紙幣収納庫に取り込まれた紙幣を積載するステージと、前記ステージの紙幣載置面の上方に対向配置され、前記紙幣収納庫への紙幣の取り込み方向に延設された搬送ベルトと、前記搬送ベルトに一端を連結して付加し、他端を開放状態として揺動自在に設けた複数の片持羽根と、前記搬送ベルトの駆動手段と、を備え、前記紙幣収納庫に紙幣を収納するとき、前記搬送ベルトを紙幣の取込速度に合わせて駆動し、その取り込み紙幣を、前記ステージ上に積載された収納紙幣と前記片持羽根との間に挟んで平らかに拘束しながら前記紙幣収納庫のステージ上に積載するものである。   In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the invention according to claim 1 includes a banknote storage that takes in and stores banknotes one by one, a stage on which the banknotes taken into the banknote storage are stacked, and a banknote placement of the stage. A conveyor belt disposed oppositely above the surface and extending in the direction of taking bills into the banknote storage, and one end connected to the conveyor belt is added and the other end is open and swingably provided. A plurality of cantilever blades and drive means for the transport belt, and when storing banknotes in the banknote storage, the transport belt is driven in accordance with the banknote take-in speed, The banknotes are stacked on the stage of the banknote storage while being constrained flatly by being sandwiched between the banknotes stacked on the stage and the cantilever blades.

これによれば、紙幣を前記紙幣収納庫に収納するとき、その紙幣を前記ステージ上に積載された収納紙幣と前記搬送ベルトに付加された片持羽根の間に挟んで平らかに拘束しながら取込むから、その取込み紙幣の折れ癖や曲がり癖を取り除いて、安定に紙幣収納庫に収納することができる。また、前記搬送ベルトを紙幣の取込速度に合わせて駆動するから、紙幣を連続して効率よく取込むことができる。   According to this, when storing banknotes in the banknote storage, the banknotes are sandwiched between the stored banknotes stacked on the stage and the cantilever blades attached to the transport belt and restrained flatly. Therefore, it is possible to remove the folded folds and bent folds of the taken banknotes and stably store them in the banknote storage. Moreover, since the said conveyance belt is driven according to the taking-in speed of a banknote, a banknote can be taken in continuously and efficiently.

また、請求項2に係る発明は、請求項1に記載の紙幣収納装置において、前記ステージは、その紙幣載置面上に積載される紙幣の量に応じて昇降自在に設けられ、前記紙幣収納庫に紙幣を収納するとき、前記ステージ上に積載される最上位の紙幣と前記片持羽根との間に、紙幣を挟んで拘束しながら取込み可能な空間を構成するものである。
これによれば、前記紙幣収納庫に紙幣を収納するとき、前記ステージ上に積載される最上位の紙幣と前記片持羽根との間に紙幣を確実に挟んで拘束することができる。
Moreover, the invention which concerns on Claim 2 is a banknote storage apparatus of Claim 1, The said stage is provided so that raising / lowering is possible according to the quantity of the banknote loaded on the banknote mounting surface, The said banknote storage When storing banknotes in a warehouse, a space is formed between the uppermost banknotes stacked on the stage and the cantilever blades and can be taken in while holding the banknotes between them.
According to this, when storing a banknote in the banknote storage, a banknote can be reliably pinched and restrained between the uppermost banknote stacked on the stage and the cantilever blade.

以上説明したように請求項1に係る発明によれば、取込み紙幣の折れ癖や曲がり癖を取り除いて、それらの紙幣を安定に紙幣収納庫に収納することができるから、例えば、そこに取込まれた紙幣を搬出手段により一枚ずつ繰り出して搬出する場合にも、詰まり無く確実に紙幣を搬出することができる。また、紙幣収納庫に紙幣を連続して効率よく取込むことができるから、紙幣の取込時間を短くすることができる。すなわち、使い勝手の良い高品質の紙幣収納装置を提供することができる。   As described above, according to the invention according to claim 1, since the folded bills and bent folds of the banknotes taken in can be removed and those banknotes can be stably stored in the banknote storage, Even when the banknotes are fed out one by one by the unloading means, the banknotes can be reliably unloaded without clogging. Moreover, since a banknote can be taken in efficiently into a banknote storage, the taking-in time of a banknote can be shortened. That is, it is possible to provide a high-quality banknote storage device that is easy to use.

また、請求項2に係る発明によれば、紙幣収納庫に紙幣を収納するとき、ステージ上に積載される最上位の紙幣と片持羽根との間に紙幣を確実に挟んで拘束することができるから、紙幣の折れ癖や曲がり癖を確実に無くして紙幣を収納することができる信頼性の高い紙幣収納装置を提供することができる。   Moreover, according to the invention which concerns on Claim 2, when storing a banknote in banknote storage, a banknote can be reliably pinched | interposed and restrained between the uppermost banknote stacked on a stage, and a cantilever blade. Therefore, it is possible to provide a highly reliable banknote storage device that can securely store banknotes with no banknotes or bends.

It is pressed against the uppermost banknote loaded on the stacking stage 4. At this time, the transported banknote is transported so that its form is constrained to be flat and slides on the upper surface of the banknote on the stacking stage 4. Moreover, since the banknote accommodated on the accumulation | storage stage 4 is pressed directly by the cantilever blade 12 provided in the conveyance belt 11, or indirectly via a conveyance banknote, the upper surface is similarly restrained flatly. . Thereby, wrinkles such as folding and bending of the banknotes stored in the banknote storage box 3 including the transported banknotes are eliminated, and they are formed flat and stored in the banknote storage box 3. And as shown in FIG.2 (c), when the rear end of a conveyance banknote passes the conveyance roller 8, the banknote will impeller the cantilever blade 12 provided in the conveyance belt 11, and the rear end of the banknote. It is energized by 9 and proceeds forward. When the leading edge of the banknote reaches the vicinity of the rear end portion 3b of the banknote storage box 3, the leading edge collides with a guide member 18 provided below the other pulley 16 over which the conveyor belt 11 is passed, and the conveyor belt 11 It is guided downward so as not to get entangled with the cantilever blade 12. Then, as shown in FIG. 2 (d), the conveyed banknote is pressed against the upper surface of the banknotes stacked on the stacking stage 4 by the cantilever blades 12 provided on the conveyor belt 11, and the banknote storage box 3. It is collected and stored inside. Thus, the banknotes stored in the banknote storage box 3 are stored in a flat state by the cantilever blades 12 of the transport belt 11, so that the banknote storage box 3 is in an aligned state without being folded back or bent. Is accumulated.

なお、このように紙幣収納箱3に収納された紙幣を外部に繰り出す場合は、集積ステージ4を上昇させて、その載置面4aに積載される最上位の紙幣を繰出ローラ20に押し当て、繰出ローラ20を回動してその最上位の紙幣を入口部6に向けて繰り出す。そして、例えば紙幣分離ローラ23としての機能を備える搬送ローラ8により、紙幣を一枚毎に分離して紙幣搬送路7から外部に搬出する。ここで、この紙幣収納箱3に収納される紙幣は、折れや曲がり等の癖戻りがなく、整列して紙幣収納箱3に収納されるから、その紙幣を外部に繰り出すとき、詰まりなく安定して搬出することができる。   In addition, when paying out the banknotes stored in the banknote storage box 3 in this way, the stacking stage 4 is raised and the uppermost banknote loaded on the placement surface 4a is pressed against the feeding roller 20, The feeding roller 20 is rotated to feed the uppermost banknote toward the inlet 6. Then, for example, the banknotes are separated one by one by the transporting roller 8 having a function as the banknote separating roller 23 and carried out from the banknote transporting path 7 to the outside. Here, the banknotes stored in the banknote storage box 3 are not folded back or bent, and are aligned and stored in the banknote storage box 3. Therefore, when the banknotes are fed out, they are stable without clogging. Can be carried out.

以上のように、この紙幣収納装置1によれば、紙幣を紙幣収納箱3に収納するとき、その紙幣を集積ステージ4上に積載された収納紙幣と搬送ベルト11に設けられた片持羽根12の間に挟んで平らかに拘束しながら取込むことによって、その取り込み紙幣の折れや曲がり等の癖を取り除いて、安定に紙幣収納箱3に収納することができるから、例えば、そこに取込まれた紙幣を繰出ローラ20により一枚ずつ繰り出して搬出する場合にも、詰まり無く確実に紙幣を搬出することができる。また、片持羽根12を備える搬送ベルト11を紙幣の取込速度に合わせて駆動することにより、紙幣を連続して効率よく取込むことができるから、紙幣の取込時間を短くすることができる。すなわち、これらにより、使い勝手の良い高品質の紙幣収納装置を提供することができる。   As described above, according to the banknote storage device 1, when banknotes are stored in the banknote storage box 3, the banknotes stacked on the accumulation stage 4 and the cantilever blades 12 provided on the transport belt 11 are stored. Since it is possible to remove the wrinkles such as folds and bends of the banknotes, and stably store them in the banknote storage box 3, for example, the banknotes are taken in there. Even when the banknotes are fed one by one by the feeding roller 20 and carried out, the banknotes can be reliably carried out without clogging. Moreover, since the conveyance belt 11 provided with the cantilever 12 is driven according to the bill taking-in speed, the bills can be taken in continuously and efficiently, so that the bill taking-in time can be shortened. . That is, by these, it is possible to provide a high-quality banknote storage device that is easy to use.

また、集積ステージ4は、その載置面4a上に積載される紙幣の量に応じて昇降自在に設けられ、紙幣収納箱3に紙幣を収納するとき、集積ステージ4上に積載される最上位の紙幣と搬送ベルト11の片持羽根12との間に、確実に紙幣を挟んで拘束しながら取込み可能な搬送空間25を構成するものであるから、紙幣の折れ癖や曲がり癖を確実に無くして紙幣を収納することができる信頼性の高い紙幣収納装置を提供することができる。   Further, the stacking stage 4 is provided so as to freely move up and down according to the amount of banknotes stacked on the mounting surface 4a. When storing banknotes in the banknote storage box 3, the uppermost stacking stage 4 is stacked on the stacking stage 4. Between the banknote and the cantilever blade 12 of the conveyor belt 11 constitutes a transport space 25 that can be taken in while securely sandwiching and restraining the banknote. Therefore, it is possible to provide a highly reliable banknote storage device that can store banknotes.
