Description

本発明は、紙幣収納部へ積層された紙幣を１枚ずつめくって複数枚の積層紙幣組（紙幣セット）状態とし、これを一括して搬送装置によって紙幣払出し部等の所定部へ搬送する紙幣の一括払出し装置に関する。また、この技術を採用して、挿入部から挿入され紙幣識別部で識別された紙幣を紙幣収納部へ積層状態に収納し、その紙幣をめくることにより得られた複数枚の紙幣を一括搬送するようにして、紙幣を再利用することができる紙幣一括払出し装置に関する。   This invention turns the banknote laminated | stacked to the banknote accommodating part one by one, and is set as the several laminated banknote group (banknote set) state, and the banknote which conveys this collectively to predetermined parts, such as a banknote discharge part. Relates to a lump-sum payout apparatus. In addition, by adopting this technology, banknotes inserted from the insertion section and identified by the banknote identification section are stored in a stacked state in the banknote storage section, and a plurality of banknotes obtained by turning the banknotes are collectively conveyed. In this way, the present invention relates to a banknote lump-out device that can reuse banknotes.

自動販売機、券売機、両替機等に用いられる紙幣の払出し機構を備えた紙葉類処理装置において、挿入部から挿入された紙幣が紙幣識別部で識別された後、受入搬送路へ入り、高額紙幣は高額紙幣搬送路を通って上方の高額紙幣収納部へ収納され、低額紙幣は低額紙幣搬送路を通って下方の低額紙幣収納部へ収納される。ここで、釣り銭や両替等の払出し要求があった場合には、低額紙幣収納部へ収納された低額紙幣は、低額紙幣収納部の上方に設けた低額紙幣搬送ベルトによって、低額紙幣を１枚ずつ低額紙幣搬送路へ送り出し、低額紙幣搬送路から払い出し搬送路を通って、１枚ずつ一括払い出し保留部へ積み重ね蓄積されて行く。   In a paper sheet processing apparatus equipped with a banknote dispensing mechanism used in vending machines, ticket vending machines, currency exchange machines, etc., after the banknote inserted from the insertion section is identified by the banknote identification section, it enters the receiving conveyance path, The high-value banknotes are stored in the upper high-value banknote storage section through the high-value banknote conveyance path, and the low-value banknotes are stored in the lower low-value banknote storage section through the low-value banknote transfer path. Here, when there is a payout request such as change or exchange, the low-value banknotes stored in the low-value banknote storage unit are transferred one by one by the low-value banknote conveyor belt provided above the low-value banknote storage unit. The paper is sent out to the low-value banknote conveyance path, and is accumulated and accumulated one by one through the low-value banknote conveyance path through the discharge conveyance path.

そして、一括払い出し保留部紙幣が所定枚数に達すると、低額紙幣搬送ベルトが停止し、一括払い出しベルトの走行によって、この紙幣を一括して一括払い出し保留部から紙幣払い出し口に送り出す。もし、低額紙幣収納部から一括払い出し保留部への搬送過程において、紙幣が重なって搬送されていることが識別センサにより識別されると、この重なった紙幣が一括払い出し保留部に達するのを待って、低額紙幣収納部からの紙幣の搬送を一旦停止し、一括払い出し保留部に積み重ね蓄積された紙幣を、リジェクトスタック板の作動によって、その下方のリジェクト保留部へ送り込む。このように動作する機構の紙葉類処理装置がある。（例えば、特許文献１参照）。
特開２０００−１８５８４３号公報 When the banknote payout holding section banknotes reach a predetermined number, the low-value banknote conveyor belt stops, and the banknote payout belt travels to deliver the banknotes from the batch payout holding section to the banknote discharge outlet. If the identification sensor identifies that the banknotes are being transported in the process of transporting from the low-value banknote storage unit to the lump-sum payout holding unit, it waits for the stacked banknotes to reach the lump-out payout holding unit. Then, the conveyance of the banknotes from the low-value banknote storage unit is temporarily stopped, and the banknotes stacked and accumulated in the batch payout holding unit are sent to the reject holding unit below by the operation of the reject stack plate. There is a paper sheet processing apparatus having a mechanism that operates in this manner. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

第２の無端ベルト搬送部１８Ｂは、後述の紙幣組（紙幣セット）１００Ｐの送り出しが確実に行われるようにするために、無端ベルト１８Ｂ１にテンションを与え、且つ、後述のように、押し圧装置１９の作動によって、左右一対の無端ベルト１８Ｂ１が左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅに向けて作動したとき、無端ベルト１８Ｂ１が後述の紙幣組（紙幣セット）１００Ｐを良好な押し圧状態とするために、補助ローラ１８Ｄを備えている。   The second endless belt conveyance unit 18B applies tension to the endless belt 18B1 so as to surely feed a banknote set (banknote set) 100P, which will be described later, and a pressing device as described later. When the pair of left and right endless belts 18B1 are operated toward the left and right stacking rollers 17E by the operation of No. 19, the endless belt 18B1 makes an after-mentioned banknote set (banknote set) 100P in a favorable pressing pressure state. 18D is provided.

収納ボックス２２内に低額紙幣１００Ａが積層されている場合、スタック部材２６がＡの位置にあるとき、収納ボックス２２内の低額紙幣１００Ａは、バネ２３によって付勢された可動底板２１によって上方へ付勢されて、積層されている低額紙幣１００Ａの最表部（最上部）の低額紙幣１００Ａは、その左右の長辺部がスタック部材２６に当接した拘束状態である。   When the low-value bill 100A is stacked in the storage box 22, when the stack member 26 is at the position A, the low-value bill 100A in the storage box 22 is attached upward by the movable bottom plate 21 biased by the spring 23. The low-value banknote 100A on the outermost surface (uppermost portion) of the low-value banknotes 100A that is stacked is in a restrained state in which the left and right long sides are in contact with the stack member 26.

このように、Ａの位置にあるスタック部材２６上に搬送装置１３から低額紙幣１００Ａが搬送された状態で、スタック部材２６は、制御部８０の動作によって、電動機構２７によって図３、図４に示すＢの位置へ向けて上昇し、スタック部材２６上の低額紙幣１００Ａは、紙幣収納部７の収納ボックス２２の上面の入口開口部上に配置された第１の無端ベルト搬送部１８Ａに当接して上昇が阻止される。これと共にスタック部材２６は、スタック部材２６上の低額紙幣１００Ａの左右の長辺端部を上方へ押し退けつつ上昇する。また、これに伴って、収納ボックス２２内に積層された低額紙幣１００Ａは、スタック部材２６による拘束が解除されるため、バネ２３によって付勢された可動底板２１によって上方へ付勢されて上昇し、積層された低額紙幣１００Ａの最表部（最上部）の低額紙幣１００Ａは、第１の無端ベルト搬送部１８Ａに当接している低額紙幣１００Ａの下側に当接する状態となる。この状態を図４に示す。   As described above, in a state where the low-value bill 100A is transported from the transport device 13 onto the stack member 26 at the position A, the stack member 26 is moved to the state shown in FIGS. The low-value bill 100A on the stack member 26 comes into contact with the first endless belt transport portion 18A disposed on the entrance opening on the upper surface of the storage box 22 of the bill storage portion 7. The rise is prevented. At the same time, the stack member 26 rises while pushing the left and right long side ends of the low-value bill 100A on the stack member 26 upward. Along with this, the low-value bill 100A stacked in the storage box 22 is lifted by being urged upward by the movable bottom plate 21 urged by the spring 23 because the restraint by the stack member 26 is released. The low-value banknote 100A on the outermost surface (uppermost portion) of the stacked low-value banknotes 100A comes into contact with the lower side of the low-value banknote 100A that is in contact with the first endless belt conveyance unit 18A. This state is shown in FIG.

電動機構２７は、電動機２７Ａとそれによって回転する複数の歯車機構２７Ｂと、駆動歯車２７Ｂ１の回転によって支点２７Ｄを中心として上下往復動する駆動アーム２７Ｃを備え、駆動アーム２７Ｃの上下往復動によってスタック部材２６が上下動する仕組みである。   The electric mechanism 27 includes an electric motor 27A, a plurality of gear mechanisms 27B rotated by the electric motor 27A, and a driving arm 27C that reciprocates up and down around a fulcrum 27D by the rotation of the driving gear 27B1, and a stack member by the reciprocating movement of the driving arm 27C. 26 is a mechanism that moves up and down.

実施例の構成では、上記のように、スタック部材２６の上下動作によって、搬送装置１３から送り込まれる低額紙幣１００Ａを収納ボックス２２内に収納する構成であるため、搬送装置１３から送り込まれる低額紙幣１００Ａが、スタック部材２６上をスライドして導入されるとき、第１の無端ベルト搬送部１８Ａに当接しないように、第１の無端ベルト搬送部１８Ａが、Ａ位置のスタック部材２６よりも若干上位置にある構成としている。また、他の構成として、第１の無端ベルト搬送部１８Ａは、搬送装置１３から送り込まれる低額紙幣１００Ａの収納の際には、邪魔にならないように、スタック部材２６よりもかなり上方位置へ移動し、紙幣のめくり動作時は、収納ボックス２２内の低額紙幣１００Ａを下方へ押す所定位置へ下降する構成でもよい。   In the configuration of the embodiment, as described above, the low-value banknote 100A sent from the transport device 13 is stored in the storage box 22 by the up-and-down movement of the stack member 26. However, when it is introduced by sliding on the stack member 26, the first endless belt transport unit 18A is slightly above the stack member 26 at the position A so that it does not contact the first endless belt transport unit 18A. The configuration is in position. Further, as another configuration, the first endless belt conveyance unit 18A moves to a position considerably higher than the stack member 26 so as not to interfere with the storage of the low-value bill 100A fed from the conveyance device 13. During the turning operation of banknotes, a configuration in which the bills 100A in the storage box 22 are lowered to a predetermined position to be pushed downward may be used.

このＢ位置の状態からスタック部材２６が更に上昇して、図５に示すＣの位置へ上昇するとき、スタック部材２６上にあった低額紙幣１００Ａの左右の長辺端部は、スタック部材２６による拘束から外れ、低額紙幣１００Ａが有する腰の強さによる復帰作用によって平坦方向へ復帰する。   When the stack member 26 further rises from the state of the B position and rises to the position C shown in FIG. 5, the left and right long side edges of the low-value bill 100A on the stack member 26 are formed by the stack member 26. It comes off from the restraint and returns to the flat direction by the returning action due to the strength of the waist of the low-value banknote 100A.

この状態で、外部または制御部８０からの払い出し指令が無い場合は、スタック部材２６は、電動機構２７によって順次、図３、図４に示すＢ位置からＡ位置へと順次下降し復帰する。この復帰動作によって、第１の無端ベルト搬送部１８Ａに当接していた低額紙幣１００Ａは、その左右の長辺端部がスタック部材２６によって下方へ押されるため、積層された低額紙幣１００Ａ全体が、バネ２３に抗して可動底板２１と共に下降し、スタック部材２６が所定の待機位置であるＡ位置へ下降復帰した状態で、収納ボックス２２内に低額紙幣１００Ａ全体が保持された保持状態となる。   In this state, when there is no payout command from the outside or the control unit 80, the stack member 26 is sequentially lowered and returned from the B position to the A position shown in FIGS. By this returning operation, the low-price banknote 100A that has been in contact with the first endless belt conveyance unit 18A is pushed downward by the stack member 26 at the left and right long-side ends thereof. The whole low-price banknote 100 </ b> A is held in the storage box 22 in a state where it is lowered with the movable bottom plate 21 against the spring 23 and the stack member 26 is lowered and returned to the A position which is a predetermined standby position.

また、スタック部材２６が図５に示すＣの位置へ上昇した状態で、外部または制御部８０から払い出し指令があった場合は、後述のように、収納ボックス２２内に積層された低額紙幣１００Ａの最表部（最上部）のものから順次、外部または制御部８０からの払い出し指令に基づく枚数を払い出す動作を行なう。   Further, in the state where the stack member 26 is raised to the position C shown in FIG. 5, when there is a payout command from the outside or the control unit 80, as described later, the low-value banknote 100 </ b> A stacked in the storage box 22. The operation of paying out the number of sheets based on a payout command from the outside or the control unit 80 is performed sequentially from the outermost part (topmost part).

また、スタック部材２６がＡ位置へ下降復帰した保持状態において、紙幣識別部５で識別された高額紙幣１００Ｂは、共通搬送路１０と高額紙幣搬送路１１を通って、高額紙幣収納部４へ収納されるが、このとき、外部または制御部８０によって釣り銭や両替等のための払い出し指令がでれば、上記のように、Ａの位置にあるスタック部材２６は、電動機構２７によって順次図３〜図５に示すＢの位置、Ｃの位置へ上昇した解放状態となり、最表部（最上部）の低額紙幣１００Ａは、収納ボックス２２上方に配置した第１の無端ベルト搬送部１８Ａに当接して保持される。この状態で、外部または制御部８０から払い出し指令があった場合は、収納ボックス２２内に積層された低額紙幣１００Ａの最表部（最上部）のものから順次、外部または制御部８０からの払い出し指令に基づく枚数を払い出す動作を行なう。   Further, in the holding state in which the stack member 26 is lowered and returned to the A position, the high-value banknote 100 </ b> B identified by the banknote recognition unit 5 is stored in the high-value banknote storage unit 4 through the common conveyance path 10 and the high-value banknote conveyance path 11. However, at this time, if a payout command for change, exchange, or the like is given by the outside or the control unit 80, the stack member 26 at the position A is sequentially moved by the electric mechanism 27 as shown in FIGS. 5B and C shown in FIG. 5 are released, and the lowermost banknote 100A at the outermost portion (uppermost portion) comes into contact with the first endless belt conveying portion 18A disposed above the storage box 22. Retained. In this state, when there is a payout command from the outside or the control unit 80, the payout from the outside or the control unit 80 is sequentially performed from the outermost (top) part of the low-value bill 100A stacked in the storage box 22. The operation of paying out the number of sheets based on the command is performed.

次に、めくり装置１７の構成について説明する。めくり装置１７は、左右の基板１７Ａをベースとして、めくり作動ローラ１７Ｂ、第２めくり作動ローラ１７Ｃ、紙幣の押し込み部材として機能するスタックアーム１７Ｄ、スタックローラ１７Ｅ等が作動可能に支持されている。左右の基板１７Ａが基台部１７Ｇに軸部１７Ｆで回動可能に支持され、基板１７Ａの外端部に形成した歯部１７Ｈが、電動機１７Ｍによって回転する歯車１７Ｊに噛み合っており、パルス信号によってステッピング動作をする電動機１７Ｍの正方向回転と逆方向回転によって、軸部１７Ｆを中心としてめくり装置１７が、めくり作動位置と退避位置へ回動する。   Next, the configuration of the turning device 17 will be described. The turning device 17 includes a left and right substrate 17A as a base, and a turning operation roller 17B, a second turning operation roller 17C, a stack arm 17D that functions as a bill pushing member, and a stack roller 17E that are operatively supported. The left and right substrates 17A are rotatably supported by the base portion 17G by the shaft portion 17F, and the tooth portions 17H formed on the outer end portion of the substrate 17A are engaged with the gear 17J that is rotated by the electric motor 17M. By the forward rotation and the reverse rotation of the electric motor 17M that performs the stepping operation, the turning device 17 rotates around the shaft portion 17F to the turning operation position and the retracted position.

めくり作動ローラ１７Ｂは、紙幣１００Ａの短辺に沿った長さを有し、紙幣１００Ａとの摩擦係数が大きいゴム又は革の外周面１７Ｂ１を形成している。第２めくり作動ローラ１７Ｃは、紙幣１００Ａの短辺に沿った長さを有し、放射状に延びた複数のめくり爪１７Ｃ１を形成している。スタックアーム１７Ｄは、左右の基板１７Ａに回動可能に軸支持した作動アーム１７Ｄ１の組み合わせによって、待機位置から紙幣１００Ａを送り出し装置１８へ向けて押し出し、再び待機位置へ復帰する動作を行う。スタックローラ１７Ｅは、左右の基板１７Ａの内側に回転可能に対向配置した左右一対のローラ１７Ｅで構成され、この左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅの間隔は、紙幣１００Ａの短辺の長さよりも若干短い（例えば、短辺の長さの８０％程度）配置である。左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅは、対抗する面に向かって外側から内側へ向けてリニアーに直径を縮小した傾斜外周面１７Ｅ１をなし、後述のように、スタックアーム１７Ｄによって押される紙幣１００Ａが通過し易い形状である。   The turning operation roller 17B has a length along the short side of the banknote 100A, and forms an outer peripheral surface 17B1 of rubber or leather having a large friction coefficient with the banknote 100A. The second turning operation roller 17C has a length along the short side of the banknote 100A and forms a plurality of turning claws 17C1 extending radially. The stack arm 17D performs an operation of pushing out the bill 100A from the standby position toward the feeding device 18 and returning to the standby position again by a combination of the operation arms 17D1 pivotally supported on the left and right substrates 17A. The stack roller 17E is composed of a pair of left and right rollers 17E rotatably disposed inside the left and right substrates 17A, and the interval between the left and right stack rollers 17E is slightly shorter than the length of the short side of the banknote 100A (for example, , About 80% of the length of the short side). The left and right stack rollers 17E have an inclined outer peripheral surface 17E1 whose diameter is linearly reduced from the outside toward the inside facing the opposite surface, and a shape in which a bill 100A pushed by the stack arm 17D easily passes as will be described later. It is.

後述のように、めくり作動ローラ１７Ｂと第２めくり作動ローラ１７Ｃの駆動によってめくられた紙幣１００Ａが、送り出し装置１８へ向けて押し出されるとき、その紙幣１００Ａの端部が左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅ間を通るように、スタックアーム１７Ｄは軸で回動する左右一対の爪状に形成されている。   As will be described later, when the bill 100A turned by driving of the turning operation roller 17B and the second turning operation roller 17C is pushed out toward the feeding device 18, the end of the bill 100A moves between the left and right stack rollers 17E. As it passes, the stack arm 17D is formed in a pair of left and right claws that rotate about a shaft.

めくり作動ローラ１７Ｂ、第２めくり作動ローラ１７Ｃ及びスタックアーム１７Ｄは、パルス信号によってステッピング動作をする電動機１７Ｋによって回転する歯車１７Ｎの回転が、複数の歯車１７Ｐ１〜１７Ｐ７の組み合わせによって駆動される。   The turning roller 17B, the second turning roller 17C, and the stack arm 17D are driven by a combination of a plurality of gears 17P1 to 17P7. The rotation of a gear 17N that is rotated by an electric motor 17K that performs a stepping operation by a pulse signal.

後述のように、めくり装置１７によってめくられた紙幣１００Ａを送り出し装置１８へ向けて押し出したとき、左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅによって保持された紙幣１００Ａと送り出し装置１８との適切な位置関係を保持するために、左右の基板１７Ａには、それぞれ左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅの取り付け位置を選定できるように、複数の取り付け孔１７Ｑが形成されている。   As will be described later, when the bill 100A turned by the turning device 17 is pushed out toward the feeding device 18, the appropriate positional relationship between the bill 100A held by the left and right stack rollers 17E and the feeding device 18 is maintained. The left and right substrates 17A are formed with a plurality of attachment holes 17Q so that the attachment positions of the left and right stack rollers 17E can be selected.

第２の無端ベルト搬送部１８Ｂをめくり装置１７方向へ付勢するように、押し圧装置１９を設けている。具体的には、送り出し装置１８の第２の無端ベルト搬送部１８Ｂは、左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅにそれぞれ対向するように、左右一対の無端ベルト１８Ｂ１で構成されている。この左右一対の無端ベルト１８Ｂ１が、それぞれ一対のローラ１８Ｂ２で回転するように掛け渡されている。この左右一対の無端ベルト１８Ｂ１と左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅとの間に紙幣１００Ａを挟持するために、押し圧装置１９によって付勢されている。   A pressing device 19 is provided so as to urge the second endless belt conveyance unit 18B toward the turning device 17. Specifically, the second endless belt conveyance unit 18B of the delivery device 18 includes a pair of left and right endless belts 18B1 so as to face the left and right stack rollers 17E, respectively. The pair of left and right endless belts 18B1 are stretched around a pair of rollers 18B2. In order to hold the bill 100A between the pair of left and right endless belts 18B1 and the left and right stack rollers 17E, the paper is biased by the pressing device 19.

左右一対の無端ベルト１８Ｂ１は、押し圧装置１９の作動によって、一方のローラ１８Ｂ２の軸１８Ｃ（図では下側のローラ軸）を中心として回動して左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅに押し圧状態となるように、一対のローラ１８Ｂ２の一方のローラ１８Ｂ２（図では下側のローラ）と他方のローラ１８Ｂ２（図では上側のローラ）の回転軸が連結棒１８Ｋで連結されている。押し圧装置１９は、軸１８Ｃに固定した作動アーム１９Ｄにバネ１９Ｃを介してアクチュエータ１９Ｂが設けられ、ソレノイド１９Ａの通電によって、アクチュエータ１９Ｂがバネ１９Ｃの引っ張り力を伴って、図６に示すように矢印の方向へ引き込まれる。それによって軸１８Ｃが回動して、第２の無端ベルト搬送部１８Ｂの一方側のローラ１８Ｂ２（図では上部の一方側のローラ１８Ｂ２）を、めくり装置１７の左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅ側へ（図６に示す矢印の方向へ）付勢し、左右一対の無端ベルト１８Ｂ１は、軸１８Ｃを中心として左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅに押し圧状態となり、後述のように、めくり装置１７によってめくられた紙幣１００Ａを、左右一対の無端ベルト１８Ｂ１と左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅとで挟持する状態となる。   The pair of left and right endless belts 18B1 are rotated about the shaft 18C (lower roller shaft in the drawing) of one roller 18B2 by the operation of the pressing device 19, and are pressed against the left and right stack rollers 17E. As described above, the rotation shafts of one roller 18B2 (lower roller in the drawing) and the other roller 18B2 (upper roller in the drawing) of the pair of rollers 18B2 are connected by the connecting rod 18K. As shown in FIG. 6, the pressing device 19 is provided with an actuator 19B via a spring 19C on an operating arm 19D fixed to a shaft 18C. When the solenoid 19A is energized, the actuator 19B is pulled by the spring 19C. It is drawn in the direction of the arrow. As a result, the shaft 18C rotates, and the one end roller 18B2 (the upper one roller 18B2 in the figure) of the second endless belt conveying portion 18B is moved toward the left and right stack rollers 17E of the turning device 17 (see FIG. The pair of left and right endless belts 18B1 are pressed against the left and right stack rollers 17E around the shaft 18C, and the banknote 100A is turned by the turning device 17 as will be described later. Is sandwiched between a pair of left and right endless belts 18B1 and left and right stack rollers 17E.

押し圧装置１９の作動によって、左右一対の無端ベルト１８Ｂ１が左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅに向けて押し圧状態となるため、紙幣組（紙幣セット）１００Ｐの左右端縁は、それぞれ左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅと左右の無端ベルト１８Ｂ１との間に挟持された状態となり、この状態で第１の無端ベルト搬送部１８Ａと第２の無端ベルト搬送部１８Ｂが駆動されて、無端ベルト１８Ａ１と無端ベルト１８Ｂ１が同じ方向へ同期回転して、後述のように、紙幣組（紙幣セット）１００Ｐを紙幣払い出し搬送部６へ送出し、紙幣の払い出し部９へ搬送する。   Since the pair of left and right endless belts 18B1 are pressed toward the left and right stack rollers 17E by the operation of the pressing device 19, the left and right edges of the banknote set (banknote set) 100P are respectively connected to the left and right stack rollers 17E. The first endless belt transport unit 18A and the second endless belt transport unit 18B are driven in this state so that the endless belt 18A1 and the endless belt 18B1 are in the same direction. As described later, the banknote set (banknote set) 100P is sent to the banknote payout transport section 6 and transported to the banknote payout section 9.

このような構成において、紙幣１００Ａの払い出し動作及びその構成を具体的に説明する。上記のように、搬送装置１３から送り込まれる紙幣１００Ａを収納するとき、スタック部材２６が図５に示すＣの位置へ上昇した状態では、バネ２３の付勢によって、収納ボックス２２の最表部（最上部）の低額紙幣１００Ａは、収納ボックス２２上方に配置した第１の無端ベルト搬送部１８Ａに当接して保持される。また、上記のようにＡの位置にスタック部材２６がある状態において、外部または制御部８０から払い出し指令があった場合は、電動機構２７によって順次図３〜図５に示すＢの位置、Ｃの位置へ上昇し、バネ２３の付勢によって、最表部（最上部）の低額紙幣１００Ａは、収納ボックス２２上方に配置した第１の無端ベルト搬送部１８Ａに当接して保持される。   In such a configuration, the payout operation of the bill 100A and the configuration thereof will be specifically described. As described above, when the banknote 100A fed from the transport device 13 is stored, in the state where the stack member 26 is raised to the position C shown in FIG. The uppermost bill 100A is held in contact with the first endless belt conveyance unit 18A disposed above the storage box 22. Further, in the state where the stack member 26 is at the position A as described above, when there is a payout command from the outside or the control unit 80, the electric mechanism 27 sequentially turns the positions B and C shown in FIGS. The lower bill 100A at the outermost portion (uppermost portion) is held in contact with and held by the first endless belt conveying portion 18A disposed above the storage box 22 by being lifted to the position and biased by the spring 23.

このような状態において、制御部８０からの払い出し指令に基づき、図７のように退避状態（退避位置または待機位置ともいう）にあっためくり装置１７は、制御部８０によって電動機１７Ｍが正方向回転して、めくり装置１７は軸部１７Ｆを中心として、図８に示すように、収納ボックス２２の最表部（最上部）の低額紙幣１００Ａを下方へ強く押す状態のめくり作動位置（めくり作動状態）へ回動し停止する。また、制御部８０によってソレノイド１９Ａに通電されて、押し圧装置１９によって、送り出し装置１８の第２の無端ベルト搬送部１８Ｂは、左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅに向けて押し圧状態となる。   In such a state, the turning device 17 in the retracted state (also referred to as the retracted position or the standby position) as shown in FIG. Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the turning device 17 is a turning operation position (a turning operation state) in which the lower bill 100 </ b> A of the outermost surface portion (uppermost portion) of the storage box 22 is strongly pressed downward with the shaft portion 17 </ b> F as the center. ) And stop. Further, the control unit 80 energizes the solenoid 19A, and the pressing device 19 causes the second endless belt conveyance unit 18B of the feeding device 18 to be in a pressing state toward the left and right stack rollers 17E.

この状態で制御部８０によって電動機１７Ｋが駆動し、図１５に示すように歯車１７Ｎが時計方向回転し、それによって歯車１７Ｐ１〜１７Ｐ７が順次矢印の方向へ回転する。これによって、時計方向回転する歯車１７Ｐ５と噛み合った歯車１７Ｐ６が反時計方向回転することに伴って、歯車１７Ｐ６と同軸に設けためくり作動ローラ１７Ｂが反時計方向回転する。このとき、上記のようにめくり装置１７の右側の収納ボックス２２の最表部（最上部）の低額紙幣１００Ａは、収納ボックス２２上方に配置した第１の無端ベルト搬送部１８Ａに当接して保持されているため、めくり作動ローラ１７Ｂに強く当接している収納ボックス２２の最表部（最上部）の低額紙幣１００Ａの一端部が、図９に１００Ａ（イ）で示すようにめくり始めにめくり上がる。   In this state, the electric motor 17K is driven by the control unit 80, and the gear 17N rotates clockwise as shown in FIG. 15, thereby rotating the gears 17P1 to 17P7 sequentially in the direction of the arrow. Thus, as the gear 17P6 meshed with the clockwise rotating gear 17P5 rotates counterclockwise, the counteracting roller 17B rotates counterclockwise because it is provided coaxially with the gear 17P6. At this time, as described above, the low-end banknote 100A on the outermost portion (topmost portion) of the storage box 22 on the right side of the turning device 17 is held in contact with the first endless belt transport unit 18A disposed above the storage box 22. Therefore, one end portion of the low-value bill 100A on the outermost portion (topmost portion) of the storage box 22 that is in strong contact with the turning operation roller 17B is turned at the beginning of turning as shown by 100A (A) in FIG. Go up.

一方、このような動作と共に、時計方向回転する歯車１７Ｐ５と噛み合った歯車１７Ｐ７が反時計方向回転することに伴って、歯車１７Ｐ７と同軸に設けた第２めくり作動ローラ１７Ｃが反時計方向回転する。めくり作動ローラ１７Ｂが反時計方向回転することによって、１００Ａ（イ）で示すようにめくられた低額紙幣１００Ａの一端部は、図１５に１００Ａ（ロ）で示すように、めくり作動ローラ１７Ｂを通り過ぎて上側へ移動する。この状態で、第２めくり作動ローラ１７Ｃのめくり爪１７Ｃ１によって図１０〜図１２及び図１５に１００Ａ（ハ）で示すように、第２めくり作動ローラ１７Ｃを通り過ぎて右側へ移動する。   On the other hand, along with such an operation, the second turning operation roller 17C provided coaxially with the gear 17P7 rotates counterclockwise as the gear 17P7 meshed with the gear 17P5 rotating clockwise rotates counterclockwise. As the turning operation roller 17B rotates counterclockwise, one end portion of the low-value bill 100A turned as shown by 100A (A) passes through the turning operation roller 17B as shown by 100A (B) in FIG. To move upward. In this state, the turning claw 17C1 of the second turning operation roller 17C moves to the right after passing through the second turning operation roller 17C, as indicated by 100A in FIG. 10 to FIG. 12 and FIG.

上記のように電動機１７Ｋの駆動によって、上記の動作と並行して歯車１７Ｐ４が時計方向回転することに伴って、歯車１７Ｐ４と同軸に取り付けた作動アーム１７Ｄ１（イ）が時計方向回転をし、各作動アーム１７Ｄ１が回動作動して、スタックアーム１７Ｄが図８の状態から作動アーム１７Ｄ１（イ）が４５°回動した図９、作動アーム１７Ｄ１（イ）が９０°回動した図１０、作動アーム１７Ｄ１（イ）が１８０°回動した図１１、作動アーム１７Ｄ１（イ）が２７０°回動した図１２と順次移動し、図１２に示すようにスタックアーム１７Ｄが、１００Ａ（ハ）で示す状態の低額紙幣１００Ａの一端部の裏側（図で左側）に入り込みを開始する。この状態から更に作動アーム１７Ｄ１（イ）が時計方向回転して、図１３で示すように３１５°の状態に達するスタックアーム１７Ｄの作動に伴って、１００Ａ（ニ）で示すように低額紙幣１００Ａの一端部の裏側（図で左側）に深く入り込みつつ、低額紙幣１００Ａを左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅへ向けて押す。   As the gear 17P4 rotates clockwise in parallel with the above operation by driving the electric motor 17K as described above, the operating arm 17D1 (A) attached coaxially with the gear 17P4 rotates clockwise, FIG. 9 shows the operating arm 17D1 rotated and the stack arm 17D turned 45 ° from the state shown in FIG. 8, FIG. 9 shows the operating arm 17D1 (A) turned 90 °, FIG. The arm 17D1 (A) is moved by 180 ° in turn, and the operating arm 17D1 (I) is moved by 270 ° in FIG. 12, and the stack arm 17D is indicated by 100A (C) as shown in FIG. Intrusion starts on the back side (left side in the figure) of one end of the low-price banknote 100A in the state. From this state, the operating arm 17D1 (A) further rotates clockwise, and as shown in FIG. 13, with the operation of the stack arm 17D reaching the state of 315 °, as shown by 100A (D), The low bill 100A is pushed toward the left and right stack rollers 17E while deeply entering the back side (left side in the figure) of one end.

作動アーム１７Ｄ１（イ）は、図１３の状態から更に時計方向回転して、図８から図９の１００Ａ（ホ）で示す状態へ低額紙幣１００Ａを押し、図１０の１００Ａ（ヘ）で示す状態へ移行する。このように図８から図１０で示す状態へ移行することによって、低額紙幣１００Ａの一端部は、スタックアーム１７Ｄによって押されつつ、低額紙幣１００Ａの左右端縁が左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅの外面に当接し、更に左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅ間を通り抜けるようにスタックアーム１７Ｄによって押されることによって、その傾斜面１７Ｅ１に沿って撓みつつ、遂に、左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅ間を通り過ぎる。この状態が図１０に示す１００Ａ（ヘ）の状態である。 上記の一連の動作によって低額紙幣１００Ａのめくられる状態を分かり易くするための説明を、図１８の（イ）から（チ）に至る順序で示している。   The operating arm 17D1 (A) further rotates clockwise from the state shown in FIG. 13, pushes the low-value bill 100A to the state shown by 100A (E) in FIGS. 8 to 9, and shows the state shown by 100A (F) in FIG. Migrate to By shifting from the state shown in FIG. 8 to FIG. 10 in this way, one end of the low-value bill 100A is pushed by the stack arm 17D, while the left and right edges of the low-value bill 100A touch the outer surface of the left and right stack rollers 17E. Further, it is pushed by the stack arm 17D so as to pass between the left and right stack rollers 17E, and finally passes between the left and right stack rollers 17E while being bent along the inclined surface 17E1. This state is the state of 100A (f) shown in FIG. The description for making it easy to understand the state in which the low-value banknote 100A is turned by the above series of operations is shown in the order from (a) to (h) in FIG.

この動作において、第２の無端ベルト搬送部１８Ｂは、上記のように、押し圧装置１９によって左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅに向けて押し圧状態であるため、スタックアーム１７Ｄによって低額紙幣１００Ａが押されて、左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅ間を通り過ぎるとき、第２の無端ベルト搬送部１８Ｂを押し退けつつ進む。この動作において、バネ１９Ｃが伸張するため、このバネ１９Ｃの引っ張り力によって、第２の無端ベルト搬送部１８Ｂは、左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅに向けて付勢された状態に作用する。   In this operation, since the second endless belt conveyance unit 18B is in a pressing state toward the left and right stack rollers 17E by the pressing device 19 as described above, the low bill 100A is pressed by the stack arm 17D. When passing between the left and right stacking rollers 17E, the second endless belt transport unit 18B is pushed away. In this operation, since the spring 19C expands, the second endless belt transport unit 18B acts in a state of being biased toward the left and right stack rollers 17E by the pulling force of the spring 19C.

更に作動アーム１７Ｄ１（イ）が図１１の状態へ時計方向回転することによって、スタックアーム１７Ｄが後退し、１００Ａ（ヘ）の状態にあった１枚目の紙幣１００Ａの押し圧が解除されるため、スタックアーム１７Ｄの後退に伴って、バネ１９Ｃの引っ張り力によって第２の無端ベルト搬送部１８Ｂが左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅ方向へ復帰し、遂に１枚目の紙幣１００Ａは、左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅに当接状態で静止する（図で左方へ戻り左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅの右側面に当接する）。このため、左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅは、低額紙幣１００Ａの保持部として機能する。   Further, when the operating arm 17D1 (A) rotates clockwise to the state of FIG. 11, the stack arm 17D moves backward, and the pressing pressure of the first banknote 100A in the state of 100A (F) is released. As the stack arm 17D is retracted, the second endless belt transport unit 18B returns to the left and right stack rollers 17E by the pulling force of the spring 19C, and finally the first banknote 100A is moved to the left and right stack rollers 17E. It stops in the contact state (returns to the left in the figure and contacts the right side surface of the left and right stack rollers 17E). For this reason, the left and right stack rollers 17E function as a holding unit for the low-value bill 100A.

以後、図１１、図１２、図１３、図８、図９と順次上記同様の動作を行い、２枚目の低額紙幣１００Ａも１枚目の低額紙幣１００Ａと同様に、左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅ間を通り過ぎて、１枚目の低額紙幣１００Ａの裏側（図で左側面）に重なった状態で、左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅに当接状態で静止する（図において左方へ戻り左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅの大径部の右側面に当接する）。   Thereafter, the same operation as in FIG. 11, FIG. 12, FIG. 13, FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 is performed in order, and the second low-value banknote 100A is located between the left and right stack rollers 17E as well as the first low-value banknote 100A. Past the left and right stack rollers 17E in a state of being overlaid on the back side (left side in the figure) of the first low-value banknote 100A (returning to the left in the figure and left and right of the left and right stack rollers 17E) Abuts the right side of the large diameter part).

上記の紙幣めくり動作において、めくり装置１７が図８に示すめくり作動位置へ回動した状態から、図９の１００Ａ（イ）に示すように、めくり作動ローラ１７Ｂによって１枚目の低額紙幣１００Ａのめくり動作が始まるが、めくり作動ローラ１７Ｂによる１枚目の低額紙幣１００Ａのめくり動作が終わったとき、引き続いてめくり作動ローラ１７Ｂが２枚目の低額紙幣１００Ａに当接して、２枚目の低額紙幣１００Ａのめくり作動が始まる。このように１枚目の低額紙幣１００Ａがスタックアーム１７Ｄによって押し出される前に、続いて２枚目の低額紙幣１００Ａがめくられると、第２めくり作動ローラ１７Ｃの上側において、１枚目の低額紙幣１００Ａと２枚目の低額紙幣１００Ａが重なる状況が発生する虞がある。   In the bill turning operation described above, the turning device 17 is rotated from the turning operation position shown in FIG. 8 to the turning operation position shown in FIG. The turning operation starts, but when the turning operation of the first low-value banknote 100A by the turning operation roller 17B is finished, the turning operation roller 17B continues to come into contact with the second low-value banknote 100A and the second low-value bill 100A. The turning operation of the banknote 100A starts. When the second low-value banknote 100A is subsequently turned before the first low-value banknote 100A is pushed out by the stack arm 17D in this way, the first low-value banknote 100A is positioned above the second turning operation roller 17C. There is a possibility that a situation occurs in which 100A and the second low-priced bill 100A overlap.

このような状況になることを解消するために、めくり装置１７は、１枚目の低額紙幣１００Ａがめくり終わってから、時差を持たせて２枚目の低額紙幣１００Ａのめくりが開始するようにしている。即ち、左右の基板１７Ａのそれぞれ軸部１７Ｗ１によって回動可能に支持された紙幣押え板１７Ｗを備えている。紙幣押え板１７Ｗは、めくり作動ローラ１７Ｂの両側に配置され、歯車１７Ｐ３と同期回転するように歯車１７Ｐ３と同軸に取り付けたカム１７Ｓのカム面に当接するように、バネ（図示せず）によって上方へ付勢された状態である。   In order to eliminate such a situation, the turning device 17 starts turning the second low-value banknote 100A with a time difference after the first low-value banknote 100A has been turned. ing. That is, the banknote presser plate 17W is rotatably supported by the shaft portions 17W1 of the left and right substrates 17A. The bill presser plate 17W is arranged on both sides of the turning operation roller 17B, and is moved upward by a spring (not shown) so as to come into contact with the cam surface of the cam 17S mounted coaxially with the gear 17P3 so as to rotate synchronously with the gear 17P3. It is in a state of being energized.

この紙幣押え板１７Ｗを設けることによって、めくり作動ローラ１７Ｂによって１枚目の低額紙幣１００Ａがめくられた所定の段階において、めくり作動ローラ１７Ｂによって２枚目の低額紙幣１００Ａがめくられないように、図１０に示すように、カム１７Ｓの回転に伴って２枚目の低額紙幣１００Ａを紙幣押え板１７Ｗが押えるようにし、めくり作動ローラ１７Ｂが２枚目の低額紙幣１００Ａの上面で空回りするようにしている。   By providing the banknote pressing plate 17W, the second low-cost banknote 100A is not flipped by the flipping operation roller 17B at a predetermined stage where the first low-price banknote 100A is turned by the flipping operation roller 17B. As shown in FIG. 10, with the rotation of the cam 17S, the banknote pressing plate 17W presses the second low-value banknote 100A, and the turning operation roller 17B is idled on the upper surface of the second low-value banknote 100A. ing.

この空回りの状態は図１３の段階まで続き、カム１７Ｓの回転に伴って図８の段階において、紙幣押え板１７Ｗが上方（図では反計方向）へ回動して、２枚目の低額紙幣１００Ａを紙幣押え板１７Ｗによる拘束から解除する。この解除によって、めくり作動ローラ１７Ｂによる２枚目の低額紙幣１００Ａがめくられ始め、上記同様に図９とそれ以降の動作によって、２枚目の低額紙幣１００Ａの１枚目の低額紙幣１００Ａと同様に、送り出し装置１８へ向けて送り出される。   This idle state continues until the stage shown in FIG. 13, and in response to the rotation of the cam 17S, in the stage shown in FIG. 8, the banknote presser plate 17W rotates upward (counter direction in the figure) and the second low-price banknote. 100A is released from the restraint by the bill presser plate 17W. By this release, the second low-priced banknote 100A starts to be turned by the turning operation roller 17B, and similarly to the first low-price banknote 100A of the second low-price banknote 100A by the operation in FIG. To the delivery device 18.

このようにして、低額紙幣収納部７の低額紙幣１００Ａが順次めくられて、左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅと第２の無端ベルト１８Ｂ間に、所定枚数の低額紙幣１００Ａの積層によって構成された紙幣組（紙幣セット）１００Ｐが保持される。そして、所定枚数の低額紙幣１００Ａのめくり動作が終了したとき、制御部８０によって送り出し装置１８が動作し、無端ベルト１８Ａ１と無端ベルト１８Ｂ１が同じ方向へ同期回転して、紙幣組（紙幣セット）１００Ｐを紙幣払い出し搬送部６へ送出し、紙幣の払い出し部９へ搬送する。   In this way, the low-price banknotes 100A in the low-price banknote storage unit 7 are turned in order, and a banknote set (a set of low-price banknotes 100A stacked between the left and right stack rollers 17E and the second endless belt 18B ( (Bill set) 100P is held. Then, when the turning operation of the predetermined number of low-value banknotes 100A is completed, the feeding device 18 is operated by the control unit 80, and the endless belt 18A1 and the endless belt 18B1 are synchronously rotated in the same direction, and the banknote set (banknote set) 100P. Is sent to the banknote paying out and transporting section 6 and transported to the banknote paying out section 9.

めくり装置１７は、第２めくり作動ローラ１７Ｃの上側に達した低額紙幣１００Ａの重なりを検出する検出センサ２０を備え、低額紙幣１００Ａが１枚ずつめくられた状態で送り出し装置１８へ送り出されるか否かを検出するようにしている。しかし、第２めくり作動ローラ１７Ｃの上側において、１枚目の低額紙幣１００Ａと２枚目の低額紙幣１００Ａが重なる状況が発生すると、検出センサ２０の検出に基づき制御部８０が後述のように、めくり装置１７を図７で示す待機位置へ退避させて、既にめくった低額紙幣１００Ａがめくる前の状態に戻るように、めくり装置１７による拘束を解除するようにしている。   The turning device 17 includes a detection sensor 20 that detects the overlap of the low-value banknotes 100A that has reached the upper side of the second turning operation roller 17C, and whether or not the low-value banknotes 100A are turned up one by one is sent out to the sending-out device 18. I try to detect it. However, when a situation occurs in which the first low-price banknote 100A and the second low-price banknote 100A overlap on the upper side of the second turning operation roller 17C, the control unit 80, based on the detection of the detection sensor 20, as described later, The turning device 17 is retracted to the standby position shown in FIG. 7, and the restriction by the turning device 17 is released so that the turned-down bill 100A returns to the state before turning.

検出センサ２０は、ＬＥＤ素子の発光素子２０Ａとフォトダイオードの受光素子２０Ｂの組み合わせによって構成され、紙幣１００Ａが１枚のときは、発光素子２０Ａから受光素子２０Ｂへ届く光の光量が所定値であるため、制御部８０によってめくり動作が継続する。もし、紙幣１００Ａが２枚以上重なった状態であれば、発光素子２０Ａから受光素子２０Ｂへ届く光の光量が所定値よりも低下するため、制御部８０によってめくり動作が停止し、それまでにめくられた紙幣１００Ａの端部が、自己の復元力によって、もとの紙幣収納部２２へ戻るように、めくり装置１７が、紙幣の保持部である左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅ及び紙幣の押し込み部材として機能するスタックアーム１７Ｄと共に、図７で示す退避状態へ回動する。そして制御部８０によって、再び最初から上記同様の動作によりめくり作動が行なわれる。また、紙幣の重なりが検出センサ２０によって検出されずに所定枚数の紙幣１００Ａがめくられたとき、制御部８０によって、電動機１７Ｋが停止して、めくり装置１７が駆動を停止し、制御部８０によって送り出し装置１８が動作し、無端ベルト１８Ａ１と無端ベルト１８Ｂ１が同じ方向へ同期回転して、左右のスタックローラ１７Ｅと無端ベルト１８Ｂ１に保持された所定枚数の低額紙幣１００Ａの紙幣組（紙幣セット）１００Ｐは、紙幣払い出し搬送部６へ送出され、紙幣の払い出し部９へ搬送される。   The detection sensor 20 is configured by a combination of a light emitting element 20A of an LED element and a light receiving element 20B of a photodiode. When there is one bill 100A, the amount of light reaching the light receiving element 20B from the light emitting element 20A is a predetermined value. Therefore, the turning operation is continued by the control unit 80. If two or more banknotes 100A are overlapped, the amount of light reaching the light receiving element 20B from the light emitting element 20A is lower than a predetermined value. The turning device 17 functions as a left and right stack roller 17E that is a banknote holding section and a banknote pushing member so that the end of the banknote 100A is returned to the original banknote storage section 22 by its own restoring force. Together with the stack arm 17D, it rotates to the retracted state shown in FIG. Then, the turning operation is again performed by the control unit 80 by the same operation as described above. When a predetermined number of banknotes 100 </ b> A are turned without being detected by the detection sensor 20, the electric motor 17 </ b> K is stopped by the control unit 80, and the turning device 17 stops driving. The feeding device 18 operates, the endless belt 18A1 and the endless belt 18B1 rotate synchronously in the same direction, and a banknote set (banknote set) 100P of a predetermined number of low-value banknotes 100A held by the left and right stack rollers 17E and the endless belt 18B1. Is sent out to the banknote dispensing and transporting section 6 and transported to the banknote dispensing section 9.

所定枚数の低額紙幣１００Ａの紙幣組（紙幣セット）１００Ｐが、紙幣払い出し搬送部６によって紙幣の払い出し部９へ搬送された後、各部は初期状態に復帰する。即ち、制御部８０によって、めくり装置１７は図７のように退避状態（退避位置または待機位置ともいう）へ作動し、押し圧装置１９はソレノイド１９Ａが非通電となって復帰し、スタック部材２６は電動機構２７によって順次Ｂ位置からＡ位置へと下降し復帰する。   After the banknote set (banknote set) 100P of the predetermined number of low-value banknotes 100A is transported to the banknote dispensing section 9 by the banknote dispensing section 6, each section returns to the initial state. That is, the turning device 17 is moved to the retracted state (also referred to as a retracted position or a standby position) as shown in FIG. 7 by the control unit 80, and the pressing device 19 is returned to the stack member 26 when the solenoid 19A is deenergized. Are sequentially lowered from the B position to the A position by the electric mechanism 27 and returned.

上記において、紙幣押え板１７Ｗに替えて、クラッチ機構によってめくり作動ローラ１７Ｂが所定期間回転停止状態とすることによって、２枚目の低額紙幣１００Ａがめくられないようにする方式とすることもできる。更に他の方式として、作動機構によってめくり作動ローラ１７Ｂが所定期間、低額紙幣１００Ａの上方へ離れる状態とすることによって、２枚目の低額紙幣１００Ａがめくられないようにする方式でもよい。これらの方式では、めくり作動ローラ１７Ｂが２枚目の低額紙幣１００Ａの上面で空回りすることがないので、めくり作動ローラ１７Ｂの寿命も長く、また低額紙幣１００Ａが擦れることがない。   In the above description, instead of the banknote pressing plate 17W, the turning operation roller 17B is stopped by a clutch mechanism for a predetermined period so that the second low-priced banknote 100A cannot be flipped. Still another method may be a method in which the second low-value bill 100A is not flipped by turning the turning operation roller 17B away from the low-value bill 100A for a predetermined period by an operation mechanism. In these systems, since the turning operation roller 17B does not idle on the upper surface of the second low-value bill 100A, the life of the turning operation roller 17B is long and the low-value bill 100A is not rubbed.

上記において、無端ベルト１８Ａ１と無端ベルト１８Ｂ１が別個の電動機によって回転する構成であれば、上記送り出し動作において、第１の無端ベルト搬送部１８Ａを収納ボックス２２の低額紙幣１００Ａを押し圧しない状態に上方へ退避させ、第１の無端ベルト搬送部１８Ａの電動機を停止するように構成することもできる。   In the above, if the endless belt 18A1 and the endless belt 18B1 are configured to be rotated by separate motors, the first endless belt transport unit 18A is moved upward so as not to press the low bill 100A of the storage box 22 in the feeding operation. The motor of the first endless belt conveyance unit 18A can be stopped.
