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され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その係合保持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 a weak paper sheet or a deformed paper sheet is guided to the stacking unit, it is possible to perform a highly reliable take-in operation without a drooping state, etc. It is possible to perform stable integration that is prevented from occurring. In addition, when the paper sheets are stacked, the control means detects the paper sheet take-in timing and the leading edge of the paper sheets based on the detection of the transport position of the paper sheets carried into the stacking unit. Since the operation is controlled in synchronization with each other, the sheets can be held individually one by one 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, the paper sheets can be stacked at the 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
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、紙幣を常に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. The paper sheets once stacked in the stacking section are only stacked at that position without any restriction, so for example, the 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 inconveniences are particularly problematic in banknote processing apparatuses that always process 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、紙幣の癖戻りを無くして紙幣を安定に紙幣収納庫に集積することで、それらの紙幣を紙幣収納庫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、紙幣の紙幣収納庫への集積を確実に行う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を目的とするものである。 This invention is made | formed in order to solve the above subjects, and when a banknote is accommodated in a banknote storage (stack | stacking part), a banknote is not returned and a banknote is stably stored in a banknote storage. Accumulation of banknotes prevents banknotes from clogging even when they are transported from the banknote storage, preventing problems such as normal withdrawal, and ensuring that banknotes are stored in the banknote storage It is an object to provide a highly reliable banknote storage device capable of
