Description

本発明は、自動取引装置（ＡＴＭ）等に用いられる紙幣処理装置に関するもので、特に入金紙幣のジャムを防止するために、折れ曲った紙幣を検出するための構造に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a banknote processing apparatus used for an automatic transaction apparatus (ATM) or the like, and more particularly to a structure for detecting a folded banknote in order to prevent a jam of a deposited banknote.

金融機関等の営業店に設置され、現金の入金や出金等の取引を行うＡＴＭ等に紙幣入出金装置として組み込まれる従来の紙幣処理装置は、入出金部（紙幣投入部）に投入された紙幣を複数のローラの協働により１枚ずつ分離して搬送路に送り込むものとなっている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。
また、分離した紙幣を搬送する際、紙幣が大きく傾いて斜行したり、２枚以上重なった状態で繰出されることによって重送が生じたり、あるいは横ずれが生じたりする等の搬送不良を起こすことがあり、そのため紙幣の搬送路に光学的なセンサを配置し、このセンサにより紙幣の搬送不良が検出された場合、紙幣を元の収納部に戻し、再分離して搬送不良を解消するようにした技術が提案されている（例えば、特許文献２参照）。
特開２００５−１６５５７７（段落「００１０」、図１） 特開平５−２７８９０２号公報（段落「００６５」〜段落「００６７」、図１） A conventional banknote processing apparatus installed in a bank such as a financial institution and incorporated as a banknote depositing / dispensing apparatus in an ATM or the like that performs transactions such as cash deposits and withdrawals, was introduced into a depositing / dispensing part (banknote input part). The banknotes are separated one by one by the cooperation of a plurality of rollers and fed into the conveyance path (for example, see Patent Document 1).
Also, when transporting separated banknotes, the banknotes are skewed and skewed, or are fed in a state where two or more sheets are stacked, causing a transport failure such as double feeding or lateral displacement. Therefore, an optical sensor is arranged in the banknote conveyance path, and when a banknote conveyance failure is detected by this sensor, the banknote is returned to the original storage unit and reseparated to eliminate the conveyance failure. A technique described above has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-165577 (paragraph “0010”, FIG. 1) Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-278902 (paragraphs “0065” to “0067”, FIG. 1)

しかしながら、上述した従来の技術では、以下の問題がある。
すなわち、搬送路に配置したセンサは、紙幣の斜行、重送、横ずれは検出することができるが、例えば四つ折りされることによって紙幣に生じた折れ曲がりまでは検出できず、そのため折れ曲がりのある紙幣はそのまま搬送されてしまい、その結果、紙幣の折れ曲がった部分が搬送路に配置されたガイドや搬送方向切替え用の切替えブレード等に衝突して紙幣ジャム等の障害を起こすという問題がある。 However, the conventional techniques described above have the following problems.
That is, the sensor arranged in the conveyance path can detect the skew, double feed, and lateral shift of the banknote, but cannot detect, for example, the folding generated in the banknote by being folded in four, and therefore the banknote that is bent. As a result, the bent portion of the banknote collides with a guide disposed in the transport path, a switching blade for switching the transport direction, and the like, causing a problem such as banknote jam.

本発明は、このような問題を解決することを課題とする。   An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem.

そのため、本発明は、入金紙幣を投入する紙幣投入部と、この紙幣投入部から紙幣を１枚ずつ繰出す繰出しローラを備えた紙幣処理装置において、互いに対向する搬送面の間で前記紙幣投入部から繰出された紙幣を案内する一対の紙幣ガイド板を設け、少なくとも一方の紙幣ガイド板の紙幣搬送方向と直交する紙幣の長手方向の長さ以内の範囲に繰出しローラを中央として左右両側に紙幣の落し込み部を設け、前記繰出された紙幣を前記落し込み部に落し込むことにより前記紙幣を回転させることを特徴とする。 Therefore, the present invention provides a banknote handling unit including a banknote insertion unit that inserts deposited banknotes and a feeding roller that feeds out banknotes one by one from the banknote insertion unit, between the conveyance surfaces facing each other. A pair of banknote guide plates for guiding the banknotes fed out from the banknotes are provided, and at least one banknote guide plate is placed on the left and right sides with the feeding roller as the center within a range within the length of the banknote in the longitudinal direction perpendicular to the banknote transport direction . A drop portion is provided, and the bill is rotated by dropping the fed bill into the drop portion .

このようにした本発明は、紙幣搬送路中を搬送すると紙幣ジャムを起こす可能性の高い折れ曲がり部を有する紙幣が紙幣投入部から繰出された場合、繰出し直後にその紙幣の左右の一方の折れ曲がり部を落とし込み部の端面に衝突させて紙幣に斜行を発生させ、その斜行を落とし込み部の下流に配置されたセンサで検知するか、センサへの紙幣到達時間を監視して検出することで、折れ曲がり部を有する紙幣を入出金部からの繰出し直後に確実に検出して停止させる。あるいは紙幣投入部に戻すようにして装置内部に取り込まないようにしている。よってジャムによる停止を未然に防止することができるという効果が得られる。   When the banknote which has a bending part with a high possibility of causing a banknote jam if it conveys in the banknote conveyance path is drawn out from the banknote insertion part, the right and left one bending part of the banknote is immediately after feeding. By causing the banknote to collide with the end face of the dropping section and causing the banknote to skew, and detecting the skewing with a sensor arranged downstream of the dropping section, or monitoring and detecting the banknote arrival time to the sensor, A bill having a bent portion is reliably detected and stopped immediately after being fed out from the deposit / withdrawal portion. Or it is made to return to a banknote insertion part so that it may not be taken in the inside of an apparatus. Therefore, the effect that the stop by jam can be prevented beforehand is acquired.

上述した構成において、入金処理及び出金処理は以下のように行われる。
尚、以下に説明する各部の動作は、図示しない記憶部に格納された制御プログラム（ソフトウェア）に基づいて図示しない制御部により制御される。
まず、入金処理の場合、取引が開始されて、入出金部１の図示しないシャッタが開かれた状態で利用者（例えば顧客）により紙幣が一括して投入されると、前記シャッタが閉じられ、入出金部１から紙幣が１枚ずつ分離されて第１の搬送路７に繰出される。 In the above-described configuration, the deposit process and the withdrawal process are performed as follows.
The operation of each unit described below is controlled by a control unit (not shown) based on a control program (software) stored in a storage unit (not shown).
First, in the case of deposit processing, when a transaction is started and banknotes are put together by a user (for example, a customer) with a shutter (not shown) of the deposit / withdrawal unit 1 opened, the shutter is closed, Banknotes are separated from the deposit / withdrawal unit 1 one by one and fed out to the first transport path 7.

その際、本実施例では折れ曲がった紙幣２３を検出して入出金部１へ戻し、利用者に折れ曲がりを直した上で再投入するよう促すが、その詳細については後述するものとし、ここでは装置全体の動作の説明を進める。
入出金部１から繰出された紙幣は、第１の搬送路７により鑑別部２に搬送され、この鑑別部２で紙幣の正損、金種等の鑑別、及び連鎖、斜行等の搬送異常の検出が行われる。 At this time, in this embodiment, the folded bill 23 is detected and returned to the deposit / withdrawal unit 1, and the user is urged to re-bend after correcting the folding. The explanation of the whole operation is advanced.
The banknotes fed out from the deposit / withdrawal unit 1 are conveyed to the discrimination unit 2 by the first conveyance path 7, and the discrimination unit 2 discriminates the correctness of banknotes, the denomination of denominations, and the conveyance abnormality such as chaining and skewing. Is detected.

その結果、金種不明の紙幣や、搬送異常が検出された紙幣は、入金リジェクト紙幣として第２の搬送路８により入出金部１に送り戻され、前記の投入紙幣と区別されて集積される。
また、金種は判明したものの外形イメージから一部が切断あるいは欠損している損券と鑑別された紙幣、及び出金対象外金種と鑑別された紙幣は、第１の搬送路７により一時保留部３ａに搬送され、集積されて一時保留される。 As a result, banknotes with unknown denominations or banknotes in which a conveyance abnormality has been detected are sent back to the deposit / withdrawal unit 1 through the second transport path 8 as deposit reject banknotes, and are distinguished from the inserted banknotes and accumulated. .
In addition, banknotes that have been identified as non-payment denominations that are partially cut or missing from the external image of the denomination of the denomination and banknotes that have been identified as non-withdrawal denominations are temporarily stored in the first transport path 7. It is conveyed to the holding unit 3a, collected and temporarily held.

一方、出金対象の金種で出金に適する正券と鑑別された紙幣は、第１の搬送路により一時保留部３ｂ〜３ｄに搬送され、集積されて一時保留される。
入出金部１に投入された紙幣がすべて繰出されて鑑別が終了すると、シャッタ開かれ、リジェクトされた紙幣が利用者に返却される。
そして、取引が確定すると一時保留部３ａ〜３ｄに集積されている紙幣が対応する紙幣収納部４ａ〜４ｄに取込まれて収納される。 On the other hand, banknotes identified as correct bills suitable for withdrawal with the denominations to be withdrawn are transported to the temporary storage units 3b to 3d by the first transport path, accumulated, and temporarily stored.
When all the banknotes thrown into the deposit / withdrawal unit 1 are paid out and the discrimination is completed, the shutter is opened and the rejected banknotes are returned to the user.
When the transaction is confirmed, the banknotes accumulated in the temporary holding units 3a to 3d are taken in and stored in the corresponding banknote storage units 4a to 4d.

出金処理の場合は、取引が開始されると紙幣収納部４ｂ〜４ｄから紙幣が繰出され、第１の搬送路７により鑑別部２に送られて正損、金種等の鑑別、及び連鎖、斜行等の搬送異常の検出が行われる。
その結果、一部が切断あるいは欠損している損券と鑑別された紙幣（手作業の補充等により紙幣収納部４ｂ〜４ｄ内に混入した損券）や、搬送異常が検出された紙幣は、出金リジェクト紙幣として第３の搬送路９によりリジェクト収納部５に搬送されて収納される。 In the case of the withdrawal process, when the transaction is started, the banknotes are paid out from the banknote storage units 4b to 4d and sent to the discrimination unit 2 by the first transport path 7 to discriminate between loss, denomination, etc., and chain Then, a conveyance abnormality such as skew is detected.
As a result, banknotes discriminated from partially damaged or missing banknotes (damaged tickets mixed in the banknote storage units 4b to 4d by manual replenishment, etc.) is accommodated is transported as a banknote reject banknotes by the third conveyance path 9 to reject retract and 5.

また、鑑別部２で正券と鑑別され、金種が確定した紙幣は、第１の搬送路７により入出金部１に搬送されて集積される。
そして、予め利用者により指定された金種、枚数による金額分の紙幣が入出金部１に集積されるとシャッタが開かれ、利用者に出金される。
このとき、利用者が紙幣を取忘れた場合、その取忘れ紙幣は入出金部１内で第２の搬送路８側に送られ、第２の搬送路８に繰出されて第１の搬送路７から鑑別部を通り、第４の搬送路１０により取忘れ収納部６に送り込まれて収納される。 The banknotes that have been identified as genuine bills by the discrimination unit 2 and whose denomination has been determined are transported to the deposit / withdrawal unit 1 by the first transport path 7 and accumulated.
Then, when banknotes corresponding to the denomination and number of sheets designated in advance by the user are accumulated in the depositing / dispensing unit 1, the shutter is opened and the user is withdrawn.
At this time, when the user forgets to remove the banknote, the forgotten banknote is sent to the second transport path 8 side in the deposit / withdrawal unit 1 and is fed to the second transport path 8 to be fed to the first transport path. 7 passes through the discrimination section, and is sent to the forgotten storage section 6 by the fourth transport path 10 and stored.

図２は紙幣ガイド板１４の部分斜視図で、図示したように紙幣ガイド板１４の中央部にゲートローラ１６及び搬送ローラ１８が位置し、このゲートローラ１６及び搬送ローラ１８より外側の位置に２個の落し込み部２１と２組のセンサ２２の光を通す検知孔２４がそれぞれ左右対称に設けられている。
図３は紙幣ガイド板１４の部分側断面図で、この図に示したように落し込み部２１における紙幣搬送方向上流側の端面２１ａは紙幣２３の折れ曲がり部２３ａが進入しやすく、かつスムーズに案内されるように紙幣ガイド板１４の紙幣搬送面１４ａに対してスロープ状に形成され、また紙幣搬送方向下流側の端面２１ｂは紙幣２３の折れ曲がり部２３ａが突き当たる突き当たり面として紙幣搬送面１４ａに対してほぼ垂直に形成されている。 FIG. 2 is a partial perspective view of the banknote guide plate 14. As shown in the drawing, the gate roller 16 and the transport roller 18 are located at the center of the banknote guide plate 14, and the gate roller 16 and the transport roller 18 are positioned 2 outside the gate roller 16 and the transport roller 18. The detection holes 24 through which the light from the drop-in portions 21 and the two sets of sensors 22 pass are provided symmetrically.
FIG. 3 is a partial cross-sectional view of the banknote guide plate 14. As shown in this figure, the end surface 21a on the upstream side in the banknote conveyance direction of the drop-in section 21 is easy to allow the bent section 23a of the banknote 23 to enter and guide smoothly. As shown, the bill guide plate 14 is formed in a slope shape with respect to the bill conveyance surface 14a, and the end surface 21b on the downstream side in the bill conveyance direction is a contact surface against which the bent portion 23a of the bill 23 abuts against the bill conveyance surface 14a. It is formed almost vertically.

次に第１の実施例の作用を図１〜図８により説明する。
図４は折れ曲がった紙幣の例を示す斜視図、図５は切替えブレードが設けられた搬送路の側面図、図６は折れ曲がった紙幣と切替えブレードの関係を示す斜視図、図７は折れ曲がった紙幣の斜行発生状態を示す斜視図、図８は斜行した紙幣の検知状態を示す斜視図である。 Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
4 is a perspective view showing an example of a folded bill, FIG. 5 is a side view of a conveyance path provided with a switching blade, FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a relationship between the folded bill and the switching blade, and FIG. 7 is a folded bill. FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing a detected state of a skewed banknote.

まず、図１において利用者により入出金部１に投入された紙幣２３は紙幣押え１３によりピックアップローラ１２に押付けられる。
そして、ピックアップローラ１２と繰出しローラ１７及びゲートローラ１６の回転により紙幣２３は１枚ずつ分離されて入出金部１から紙幣ガイド板１４、１５間へ繰出され、下流側へ給送される。 First, in FIG. 1, the banknote 23 inserted into the deposit / withdrawal unit 1 by the user is pressed against the pickup roller 12 by the banknote presser 13.
Then, the pickup roller 12 and the feeding roller 17 and Rikami bill 23 by the rotation of the gate rollers 16 is fed out are separated one by one from the depositing and dispensing unit 1 to between the banknote guide plate 15, is fed to the downstream side The

繰出された紙幣２３は繰出しローラ１７と搬送ローラ１８の間に送り込まれるが、その際、２組のセンサ２２により紙幣２３の通過が検知されるので、この２組のセンサ２２が紙幣を検知したタイミングや紙幣２３の到達時間を監視することで、紙幣２３の姿勢や搬送状態を検出することができる。
例えば、紙幣２３が斜行して搬送されてきた場合には、左右２組のセンサ２２により検知されるタイミングに時間差が生じるので、その検知タイミングに時間差が生じたときに紙幣２３の斜行を検出することができる。 The fed banknote 23 is fed between the feeding roller 17 and the transport roller 18. At this time, since the passage of the banknote 23 is detected by the two sets of sensors 22, the two sets of sensors 22 detect the banknote. By monitoring the timing and the arrival time of the banknote 23, the posture and transport state of the banknote 23 can be detected.
For example, when the bill 23 is conveyed while being skewed, there is a time difference between the timings detected by the two left and right sets of sensors 22, so that when the time difference is detected, the bill 23 is skewed. Can be detected.

ところで、利用者が投入する紙幣２３の中には、図４（ａ）、（ｂ）に示すように折れ曲った紙幣２３、つまり長手方向に半分に折り、更にその半分に折って四つ折りにすることにより左右非対称の山と谷の折れ曲がり部２３ａができた紙幣２３が混入していることがあり、このような折れ曲がり部２３ａを有する紙幣２３が紙幣搬送路中に設けられた搬送方向切替え用の切替えブレード等へ搬送されると紙幣ジャムを生じる危険性が高くなる。   By the way, in the banknote 23 which a user throws in, as shown to Fig.4 (a), (b), it folds into the banknote 23 folded in half, ie, a longitudinal direction, and also folds into the half and folds into four. The banknote 23 which the bending part 23a of the left-right asymmetrical mountain and trough was mixed may be mixed, and the banknote 23 which has such a bending part 23a is for the conveyance direction switching provided in the banknote conveyance path When the sheet is conveyed to a switching blade or the like, there is a high risk of banknote jam.

例えば、図５に示すように第１の搬送路７により搬送された紙幣２３を、紙幣収納部４ａに対応する一時保留部３ａに送り込む場合、第１の搬送路７に設けられた切替えブレード３０により紙幣２３の搬送方向が切替えられる。
この切替えブレード３０は、通常、図６に示すように回転軸３２に固定された筒状のボス部３１の外周に一定の間隔で２個で設けられており、紙幣２３はそれぞれの切替えブレード３０の凹状に湾曲したガイド面３１ａにより一時保留部３ａに案内されるが、その際、紙幣２３の折れ曲がり部２３ａが切替えブレード３０側に山状に突出した状態にあると、紙幣２３がこの切替えブレード３０を通過するとき、山状の折れ曲がり部２３ａが切替えブレード３０間でボス部３１に衝突して紙幣ジャムを生じることになる。 For example, as shown in FIG. 5, when the banknote 23 conveyed by the 1st conveyance path 7 is sent into the temporary storage part 3a corresponding to the banknote accommodating part 4a, the switching blade 30 provided in the 1st conveyance path 7 is provided. Thus, the conveyance direction of the banknote 23 is switched.
As shown in FIG. 6, two switching blades 30 are usually provided at regular intervals on the outer periphery of a cylindrical boss portion 31 fixed to the rotating shaft 32, and the bills 23 are respectively switched to the switching blades 30. Is guided to the temporary holding portion 3a by the concavely curved guide surface 31a. At this time, when the bent portion 23a of the bill 23 protrudes in a mountain shape on the switching blade 30 side, the bill 23 is moved to the switching blade 30a. When passing 30, the mountain-shaped bent portion 23 a collides with the boss portion 31 between the switching blades 30, thereby generating a bill jam.

本実施例では、図４（ｂ）に示したように四つ折りによって右に谷状、左に山状の折れ曲がり部２３ａができた紙幣２３が入出金部１から繰出された場合、図７に示すように山状の折れ曲がり部２３ａは紙幣ガイド板１４に設けられた落し込み部２１に落ち込むことなく搬送されて行くが、谷状の折れ曲がり部２３ａは落し込み部２１の紙幣搬送方向上流側のスロープ状の端面２１ａの案内により落し込み部２１内に滑り落ち、下流側の端面２１ｂに突き当たる。   In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4B, when a banknote 23 having a folded portion 23a having a valley shape on the right and a mountain shape on the left is fed out from the deposit / withdrawal portion 1 by folding into four, As shown, the mountain-shaped bent part 23a is conveyed without falling into the drop part 21 provided on the banknote guide plate 14, but the valley-like bent part 23a is on the upstream side of the drop part 21 in the banknote conveyance direction. It slides down into the drop-in portion 21 by the guide of the slope-shaped end surface 21a and hits the end surface 21b on the downstream side.

そのため、紙幣２３は図８に示すように落し込み部２１の下流側の端面２１ｂを中心に回転し、これにより紙幣２３の左側の部分は右側の部分より先行するため、紙幣２３は斜行した状態となり、先行した紙幣２３の左側の部分は下流の検知孔２４に早く到達するため、左右の検知孔２４に対応する２組のセンサ２２の検知タイミングに時間差が生じることになる。   Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, the banknote 23 rotates around the end face 21 b on the downstream side of the drop-in portion 21, and thereby the left portion of the banknote 23 precedes the right portion. Since the left portion of the preceding bill 23 arrives at the downstream detection hole 24 early, a time difference occurs between the detection timings of the two sets of sensors 22 corresponding to the left and right detection holes 24.

従って、この２組のセンサ２２の検知タイミングを図示しない制御部が監視することで、検知タイミングに時間差が生じたとき、折れ曲がり部２３ａを有する紙幣２３が搬送されてきたことを検出することができる。
図４（ａ）に示したように四つ折りによって左に谷状、右に山状の折れ曲がり部２３ａができた紙幣２３が入出金部１から繰出された場合も同様に検出することができる。 Therefore, the control unit (not shown) monitors the detection timings of the two sets of sensors 22 to detect that the banknote 23 having the bent portion 23a has been conveyed when a time difference occurs in the detection timing. .
As shown in FIG. 4A, it is also possible to detect in the same manner when a banknote 23 having a folded portion 23 a having a valley shape on the left and a mountain shape on the right is fed from the deposit / withdrawal portion 1 by folding in four.

このように折れ曲がり部２３ａを有する紙幣２３を検出した場合、制御部はピックアップローラ１２、繰出しローラ１７及び搬送ローラ１８の回転を停止させ、紙幣押さえ１３をピックアップローラ１２から離れる方向へ所定距離移動させて、入出金部１内の紙幣２３とピックアップローラ１２との間に隙間を作り、繰出しローラ１７及び搬送ローラ１８を逆方向へ回転させて折れ曲がり部２３ａを有する紙幣２３を入出金部１内に戻す。   When the bill 23 having the bent portion 23 a is detected in this way, the control unit stops the rotation of the pickup roller 12, the feeding roller 17 and the transport roller 18, and moves the bill presser 13 by a predetermined distance in a direction away from the pickup roller 12. Then, a gap is formed between the bill 23 in the deposit / withdrawal unit 1 and the pickup roller 12, and the bill 23 having the bent portion 23 a is rotated into the deposit / withdrawal unit 1 by rotating the feeding roller 17 and the conveying roller 18 in the reverse direction. return.

この場合、図１に示すように入出金部１底面の紙幣出入口１ａからセンサ２２による紙幣２３の検知位置までの距離を紙幣２３の繰出方向の長さ（短手方向の長さ）より短くすることで、入出金部１に戻される紙幣２３の後端（戻し方向の先端）が、紙幣出入口１ａから繰出されようとする後続の紙幣２３に衝突することなく重なった状態になっている間に逆送りすることができるので、紙幣ジャムを生じさせることなく折れ曲がり部２３ａを有する紙幣２３を整然と入出金部１内に戻すことができる。   In this case, as shown in FIG. 1, the distance from the banknote entrance / exit 1a on the bottom surface of the deposit / withdrawal part 1 to the detection position of the banknote 23 by the sensor 22 is made shorter than the length of the banknote 23 in the feeding direction (length in the short direction). Thus, while the rear end (tip in the return direction) of the banknote 23 returned to the depositing / dispensing unit 1 is in a state of being overlapped without colliding with the subsequent banknote 23 to be fed out from the banknote entrance 1a. Since it can reversely feed, the banknote 23 which has the bending part 23a can be returned in order in the deposit or withdrawal part 1 without producing banknote jam.

その後、制御部はシャッタ１１を開き、利用者に対して、折れ曲がり部２３ａを有する紙幣２３を抜取り、折れ曲がり部２３ａを矯正して再投入するよう促すメッセージを図示しない表示部に表示したり、音声ガイダンスを行う。
これにより、利用者が折れ曲がり部２３ａを有する紙幣２３を入出金部１から抜き取り、折れ曲がり部２３ａを矯正して入出金部１に再投入すると、制御部はシャッタ１１を閉じて分離繰出し動作を再開する。 Thereafter, the control unit opens the shutter 11 and displays a message prompting the user to remove the banknote 23 having the bent part 23a, correct the bent part 23a, and re-insert it, on a display unit (not shown) Provide guidance.
As a result, when the user pulls out the banknote 23 having the bent portion 23a from the deposit / withdrawal portion 1, corrects the bent portion 23a, and re-enters the deposit / withdrawal portion 1, the control unit closes the shutter 11 and resumes the separating and feeding operation. To do.

また、制御部は入出金部１から繰出された紙幣２３がセンサ２２に到達するまでの時間監視を行い、所定時間経過しても紙幣２３がセンサ２２で検知されない場合、ピックアップローラ１２、繰出しローラ１７及び搬送ローラ１８の回転を停止させ、紙幣押さえ１３をピックアップローラ１２から離れる方向へ所定距離移動させて、入出金部１内の紙幣２３とピックアップローラ１２との間に隙間を作り、繰出しローラ１７及び搬送ローラ１８を逆方向へ回転させるよう制御する。 The control unit performs a time monitoring until the bill 23 fed from the cash reception-delivery portion 1 it reaches the sensor 22, if the bill 23 even after the lapse of the predetermined time is not detected by the sensor 22, the pickup roller 12, feed The rotation of the roller 17 and the transport roller 18 is stopped, and the bill presser 13 is moved a predetermined distance in the direction away from the pickup roller 12 to create a gap between the bill 23 in the deposit / withdrawal unit 1 and the pickup roller 12 and feed out. The roller 17 and the transport roller 18 are controlled to rotate in the reverse direction.

これにより左右の折れ曲がり部２３ａがともに落し込み部２１の端面２１ｂに突き当たって搬送されなくなった紙幣２３を検出できるので、その紙幣２３を入出金部１内に戻し、前記と同様に利用者に折れ曲がり部２３ａを矯正させて入出金部１に再投入させ、分離繰出し動作を再開する。
この場合の時間監視の開始タイミングは、１枚目の紙幣２３の場合、ピックアップローラ１２等の回転開始時とし、２枚目以降は先行する紙幣２３の通過がセンサ２２で検知されたときとすることができるが、紙幣入出口１ａにセンサを設けて、このセンサによる紙幣２３の先端検知時としてもよい。 Since thereby detect the left and right bent portions 23 bill 23 a is no longer transported together abuts the end face 21b of the drop addition unit 21, it returned to the bill 23 to the depositing and dispensing unit 1, in the similar to the user The bent portion 23a is corrected and re-inserted into the deposit / withdrawal unit 1, and the separation and feeding operation is resumed.
Start timing of the time monitoring of this case, if the 1-th bill 23, and at the start rotation such pickup roller 12, the second and subsequent sheets and when the passage of the preceding banknote 23 is detected by the sensor 22 it can, by providing a sensor on banknote outlet 1a, may be at the leading edge detection of the bill 23 by the sensor.

以上説明した第１の本実施例によれば、紙幣搬送路中を搬送すると紙幣ジャムを起こす可能性の高い折れ曲がり部を有する紙幣が入出金部から繰出された場合、繰出し直後にその紙幣の左右の一方の折れ曲がり部を落し込み部の端面に衝突させて紙幣に斜行を発生させ、その斜行を落し込み部の下流に配置されたセンサで検知するか、センサへの紙幣到達時間を監視して検出するようにしているため、折れ曲がり部を有する紙幣を入出金部からの繰出し直後に確実に検出することができるという効果が得られる。   According to the first embodiment described above, when a bill having a bent portion with a high possibility of causing a bill jam when transported in the bill transport path is fed out from the deposit / withdrawal portion, right and left of the bill immediately after feeding out. One of the bent parts is dropped against the end face of the drop-in part to cause the banknotes to skew, and the skew is detected by a sensor arranged downstream of the drop-in part or the banknote arrival time to the sensor is monitored Therefore, an effect that a bill having a bent portion can be surely detected immediately after being fed out from the deposit / withdrawal portion is obtained.

また、折れ曲がりを有する紙幣を検出すると、その紙幣を入出金部に戻すようにしているため、紙幣の折れ曲がりを利用者に矯正させて再投入させることが可能になり、これにより折れ曲がりを有する紙幣が搬送路中を搬送されることに起因する紙幣ジャムの発生を未然に防ぐことができるという効果が得られる。
図９は第２の実施例を示す紙幣ガイド板１４の部分側断面図である。 In addition, when a banknote having a bend is detected, the banknote is returned to the deposit / withdrawal unit, so that it is possible to correct the bend of the banknote and allow the user to re-insert the banknote. The effect that the generation | occurrence | production of the banknote jam resulting from being conveyed in a conveyance path can be prevented beforehand is acquired.
FIG. 9 is a partial side sectional view of the banknote guide plate 14 showing the second embodiment.

この第２の実施例は、落し込み部２１の紙幣搬送方向下流側の端面２１ｂを紙幣ガイド板１４の紙幣搬送面１４ａより寸法Ｌ１だけ低くしたもので、その他の構成は第１の実施例と同様である。
このようにした第２の実施例では、紙幣２３の折れ曲がり部２３ａが寸法Ｌ１以上の高さの場合のみ落し込み部２１の端面２１ｂに衝突させて紙幣２３に斜行を生じさせることができるため、折れ曲がり部２３ａの高さが高い（折れ曲がりの大きい）紙幣２３、つまりジャムを発生する可能性が極めて高い紙幣２３のみを検出することが可能となり、それによりジャムを発生する可能性の高い紙幣２３のみを入出金部１に戻して利用者に折れ曲がり部２３ａを矯正させることができるので、無駄な入出金部１への戻し動作を行わなくても済み、効率のよい矯正が可能になるという効果が得られる。 In the second embodiment, the end surface 21b of the drop portion 21 on the downstream side in the bill conveyance direction is made lower than the bill conveyance surface 14a of the bill guide plate 14 by a dimension L1, and other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment. It is the same.
In the second embodiment thus configured, the bill 23 can be skewed by colliding with the end surface 21b of the drop-in portion 21 only when the bent portion 23a of the bill 23 has a height equal to or greater than the dimension L1. Therefore, it is possible to detect only the banknote 23 having a high bent portion 23a (a large bend), that is, the banknote 23 having a very high possibility of generating a jam, and thereby the banknote 23 having a high possibility of generating a jam. Since the user can correct the bent portion 23a by returning only to the deposit / withdrawal unit 1, it is not necessary to perform a useless return operation to the deposit / withdrawal unit 1 and an efficient correction becomes possible. Is obtained.

図１０は第３の実施例を示す紙幣ガイド板１４の部分側断面図である。
この第３の実施例は、落し込み部２１の下流側の端面２１ｂに面取り部２１ｃを設けて、端面２１ｂを紙幣ガイド板１４の紙幣搬送面１４ａより寸法Ｌ１だけ低くしたもので、その他の構成は第１の実施例と同様である。
このようにした第３の実施例では、第２の実施例と同様に紙幣２３の折れ曲がり部２３ａが寸法Ｌ１以上の高さの場合のみ落し込み部２１の端面２１ｂに衝突して紙幣２３に斜行を生じさせることができるため、第２の実施例と同様の効果が得られ、折れ曲がり部２３ａの高さが低い紙幣２３は、その折れ曲がり部２３ａが面取り部２１ｃに案内され、その際、折れ曲がり部２３ａは面取り部２１ｃで押されて平らにならされて下流側に通過して行くため、より確実にジャムの発生を防止できることになる。 FIG. 10 is a partial sectional side view of the bill guide plate 14 showing the third embodiment.
In the third embodiment, a chamfered portion 21c is provided on the end surface 21b on the downstream side of the drop-in portion 21, and the end surface 21b is made lower than the bill conveyance surface 14a of the bill guide plate 14 by a dimension L1. Is the same as in the first embodiment.
In the third embodiment as described above, as in the second embodiment, the bill 23 collides with the end surface 21b of the dropping portion 21 only when the bent portion 23a of the bill 23 has a height of the dimension L1 or more. Since the same effect as that of the second embodiment can be obtained and the banknote 23 having the bent portion 23a having a low height, the bent portion 23a is guided to the chamfered portion 21c, and the bent portion 23a is bent. Since the portion 23a is pushed and leveled by the chamfered portion 21c and passes downstream, the occurrence of jam can be prevented more reliably.

図１１は第４の実施例を示す紙幣ガイド板１４の部分斜視断面図である。
この第４の実施例は、紙幣ガイド板１４の紙幣搬送面１４ａに落し込み部２１の上流から下流にいたる長さでかつ前記寸法Ｌ１の高さのリブ２５を複数本並行に設け、このリブ２５上を紙幣２３が搬送されるようにすることで、落し込み部２１の下流側の端面２１ｂがリブ２５の頂部から寸法Ｌ１だけ低くなるようにすると共に、リブ２５間の間隔Ｌ２を例えば図６に示した切替えブレード３０間の間隔つまり折れ曲がり部２３ａを有する紙幣２０の先端が衝突する可能性のある部材の配置間隔より狭くしたものである。 FIG. 11 is a partial perspective sectional view of the bill guide plate 14 showing the fourth embodiment.
In the fourth embodiment, a plurality of ribs 25 having a length from the upstream side to the downstream side of the drop portion 21 and a height of the dimension L1 are provided in parallel on the banknote transport surface 14a of the banknote guide plate 14, and the ribs 25, the banknote 23 is conveyed so that the end face 21b on the downstream side of the drop-in portion 21 is lowered by the dimension L1 from the top of the rib 25, and the interval L2 between the ribs 25 is illustrated in FIG. 6 is narrower than the interval between the switching blades 30 shown in FIG. 6, that is, the arrangement interval of the members that may collide with the tip of the banknote 20 having the bent portion 23 a.

この他の構成は第１の実施例と同様である。
このようにした第４の実施例も、第２の実施例と同様に紙幣２３の折れ曲がり部２３ａが寸法Ｌ１以上の高さの場合のみ落し込み部２１の端面２１ｂに衝突して紙幣２３に斜行を生じさせることができるため、第２の実施例と同様の効果が得られる他、以下の効果も得られる。 Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment.
Similarly to the second embodiment, the fourth embodiment thus configured collides with the end face 21b of the drop-down portion 21 only when the bent portion 23a of the bill 23 has a height equal to or greater than the dimension L1, and the bill 23 is inclined. Since rows can be generated, the same effects as in the second embodiment can be obtained, and the following effects can also be obtained.

すなわち、この第４の実施例では、落し込み部２１に設けたリブ２５間の間隔Ｌ２を、紙幣搬送方向の下流側に配置される切替えブレード３０間の間隔より狭くしているため、折れ曲がり部２３ａが落し込み部２１の端面２１ｂに衝突することなく通過する紙幣２３は下流の切替えブレード３０のボス部３１等に引っかかることはないので、良好に搬送でき、ジャムの発生の可能性の高い紙幣２３のみを検出できるという効果が得られる。   That is, in this 4th Example, since the space | interval L2 between the ribs 25 provided in the dropping part 21 is made narrower than the space | interval between the switching blades 30 arrange | positioned downstream in a banknote conveyance direction, it is a bending part. Since the banknote 23 which 23a passes without colliding with the end surface 21b of the dropping part 21 is not caught by the boss | hub part 31 etc. of the downstream switching blade 30, it can convey favorably and a banknote with high possibility of generation | occurrence | production of a jam The effect that only 23 can be detected is obtained.

尚、上述した第２〜第４の実施例でも、第１の実施例と同様に時間監視を行うものとし、それによる折れ曲がりを有する紙幣の検出も可能にする。
また、上述した第１〜第４の各実施例において、左右の落し込み部２１は紙幣２３の幅（長手方向の長さ）以内の範囲に設けるものとする。これは次の理由による。
図１２は左右の落し込み部２１を紙幣２３の幅以上の範囲に設けて、左右の落し込み部２１の外側端を紙幣ガイド板１４の両側で開放した例を示す斜視図である。 In the second to fourth embodiments described above, time monitoring is performed in the same manner as in the first embodiment, and it is possible to detect a bill having a bent portion.
Further, in each of the first to fourth embodiments described above, the left and right drop portions 21 are provided within a range within the width (length in the longitudinal direction) of the banknote 23. This is due to the following reason.
FIG. 12 is a perspective view showing an example in which the left and right drop portions 21 are provided in a range equal to or larger than the width of the bill 23 and the outer ends of the left and right drop portions 21 are opened on both sides of the bill guide plate 14.

一般に、紙幣２３には流通によって図１２に示したように角部２３ｂや２３ｃ等が折れたものが多く見られる。
このような角部２３ｂや２３ｃ等が折れた紙幣２３は下流の搬送路に送り込まれてもジャムを生じる恐れはないが、前記のように左右の落し込み部２１を紙幣２３の幅以上の範囲に設けられていると、このような折れた角部２３ｂや２３ｃが落し込み部２１の端面２１ｂに衝突して紙幣２３に斜行が生じるため、入出金部１に戻されてしまうことになる。 In general, many banknotes 23 are broken by corners 23b and 23c as shown in FIG.
Although the banknotes 23 having such broken corners 23b and 23c are not sent to the downstream transport path, there is no risk of jamming. However, as described above, the left and right dropping parts 21 are in a range that is greater than the width of the banknote 23. Are provided, the bent corners 23b and 23c collide with the end surface 21b of the drop-in portion 21 and the banknote 23 is skewed, so that it is returned to the deposit / withdrawal portion 1. .

従って、このような無駄な動作を行わないために、本発明では、左右の落し込み部２１は紙幣２３の幅（長手方向の長さ）以内の範囲に設けるものとしている。
以上、各実施例について説明したが、これに限られるものではない。
例えば、上述した各実施例では、紙幣入出金装置を例にして説明したが、入金専用の装置にも適用可能である。 Therefore, in order to avoid such a wasteful operation, in the present invention, the left and right drop portions 21 are provided within a range within the width (length in the longitudinal direction) of the bill 23.
Although each embodiment has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this.
For example, in each of the above-described embodiments, the bill deposit / withdrawal apparatus has been described as an example, but the present invention can also be applied to a dedicated deposit apparatus.

また、図１に示したように紙幣ガイド板１４、１５をＳ字状に形成し、落し込み部２１の下流側に位置する湾曲部Ｂに紙幣ガイド板１５に同様の落し込み部２１と図示しないセンサを設けることで紙幣２３の両面で折れ曲がり部２３ａを端面２１ｂに衝突させ、これにより紙幣の斜行当を検出できるようにすれば、更に効果は高いものとなる。
また、各実施例において、落し込み部２１は紙幣ガイド板１４を貫通する穴として形成するものとしたが、窪み状に形成してもよく、要は紙幣の折れ曲がり部２３ａを落し込み部２１の下流側の端面に衝突させられる構造であればよい。 Moreover, as shown in FIG. 1, the banknote guide plates 14 and 15 are formed in an S-shape, and the banknote guide plate 15 has the same drop-down portion 21 as shown in the curved portion B located on the downstream side of the drop-down portion 21.
