As shown in the figure, the paper sheet processing apparatus 61 is configured to include a paper sheet insertion opening 63 on the upper front surface of the apparatus main body having a paper sheet storage 62 inside. Inside the main body of the apparatus, there is provided a transport mechanism for transporting the paper sheets inserted from the paper sheet insertion port 63 to a position facing the paper sheet storage 62 (hereinafter referred to as “storage standby position”). . The transport mechanism includes a first roller 64, a second roller 65, and a third roller 66 arranged along a transport path, and a first transport belt stretched between the first roller 64 and the second roller 65. 67, the second roller 65, the third
It has a second conveyor belt 68 stretched between rollers 66. Further, in the figure, the free rollers 69 to 71, the pressing roller 72, and the receiving roller 73 sandwich the paper sheet between it and the first belt 67 or the second belt 68, and apply a conveying force to it.

搬送力を付与する。The first roller 64 is a drive roller that rotates in the normal and reverse directions. When this roller rotates in the normal direction, the first roller 64 and the third roller 66 are interlocked with each other, and the paper sheets inserted from the paper sheet insertion port 63 are inserted. To the storage standby position. On the other hand, if it rotates in the reverse direction, the first roller 64 and the third roller 66 rotate in reverse,
Insert the paper sheets waiting in the storage standby position into the paper sheet insertion port 6
Reverse transport to 3. During the reverse conveyance, the pressing roller 72 and the receiving roller 73 apply a conveying force to the paper sheets in the storage standby position.

This will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. Whether or not the paper sheet has been inserted into the apparatus main body is monitored by the insertion detection sensor 74 (step 81), and when it is confirmed that the paper sheet has been inserted, the authenticity of the paper sheet is entered ( Step 82). When it is determined that the bill is a genuine note, an appropriate signal is sent to the CPU of the vending machine body (not shown) (step 83). In this state, the paper sheet is conveyed to the storage standby position, and the paper sheet is put in the standby state (step 84). At this time, when the next paper sheet is inserted into the paper sheet insertion opening 63, if the first belt 68 is driven to accept the paper sheet, the second belt 68 is interlocked to store the paper sheet. The paper sheets in the standby position move, causing jams and the like. Therefore, acceptance of the next paper sheet is prohibited (step 85). In this acceptance prohibited state, the apparatus waits for reception of the storage signal (step 86), and when the storage signal is received, the paper sheet storage operation is performed (step 87).
When the storing operation is completed, the prohibition of receiving the paper sheets is released (step 88), and the paper sheets are again waited for being put into the apparatus (step 81). On the other hand, although not shown, when it is determined that the bill is a counterfeit bill, the transport mechanism reversely transports the paper sheet and returns the paper sheet from the storage standby position to the paper sheet insertion port 63.

計の上で制約を受けていた。However, such a conventional paper sheet conveying method has the following problems. That is, when the inserted paper sheet is located at the storage standby position, the reception of the paper sheet is prohibited even if the next paper sheet is inserted into the paper sheet insertion port 63. The user must be on standby with the paper sheets. Therefore, in FIG. 4, the first belt 67 and the second belt 68 are not interlocked with each other and are separately driven to move the first and second sheets without moving the paper sheets positioned corresponding to the second belt 68. By driving the belt 67, it is possible to insert the next paper sheet without prohibiting the reception of the next paper sheet. However, there is a problem that the transport mechanism is complicated, such as requiring two driving devices. Further, when the paper sheets are held in the storage standby position, the pressing roller 72, the receiving roller 73, and their roller supporting mechanism for reversely conveying the paper sheets to the paper sheet insertion port 63 are required for returning. , Causing an increase in product cost. In addition, these mechanical parts are used to store the paper sheets from the standby position for storing the paper sheets 62.
There is a hindrance in the storing operation of the push-in mechanism 76 that is fed into, jamming occurs, and there is a restriction in the structural design of the push-in mechanism 76.

The paper sheet processing apparatus of the present invention has a conveyance mechanism that conveys the paper sheets inserted into the paper sheet insertion port to a paper sheet storage standby position for storing the paper sheets in the paper sheet storage. In the provided paper sheet processing apparatus, the conveyance mechanism is driven to convey the paper sheets inserted into the paper sheet insertion port to the holding position between the paper sheet insertion port and the paper sheet storage standby position.

紙葉類挿入口から受け入れることができる。According to the paper sheet processing apparatus of the present invention, the control means drives the conveying mechanism to convey the paper sheets inserted into the paper sheet insertion port to the holding position, and temporarily hold the paper sheet at the holding position. Then, the paper sheet is conveyed backward to the paper sheet insertion port by the paper sheet return signal, or the paper sheet storage signal, for example, the storage signal from the vending machine main body, or the next sheet in the paper sheet processing apparatus. The sheet is normally conveyed to the sheet storage standby position by a detection signal or the like which detects that the sheet has been inserted. As described above, since the return operation of the paper sheet is performed at the holding position before the paper sheet storage standby position, it is possible to eliminate the mechanical parts such as the pressing roller 72 at the paper sheet storage standby position and When a paper sheet is loaded, the temporarily held paper sheet is conveyed to the paper sheet storage standby position so that the next paper sheet can also be received from the paper sheet insertion port.

At the same time, the rear end position of the paper sheet P is detected by the identification sensor 11, the motor 9 feeds the paper sheet P a predetermined number of steps thereafter, and the rear end of the paper sheet P is moved to the third roller 2.
When it is transported to the position 3, it is temporarily stopped. That is, this position is the paper sheet holding position. This holding position is in front of the paper sheet storage box 4, the rear end of the paper sheet P is at the position of the third roller 23, and the pressing roller 23a of the third roller 23 and the first and second conveyances are performed. It is sandwiched between the belts 25 and 26, and the paper sheets can be conveyed forward and backward.

Therefore, no transport mechanism for reverse transport is needed at the storage standby position. Moreover, as a result of the short distance for the reverse conveyance, the time required to return the paper sheets is shortened. Further, since the structure is simple, clogging of the paper sheets is reduced. Furthermore, since there is no mechanical component for reverse conveyance that hinders the paper sheet storage operation, the paper sheet storage operation can be reliably performed.
