　本発明は、紙葉類取扱装置搬送機構に係わり、更に詳しくは顧客からの紙葉類受入れを行う紙葉類取込みユニットと鑑別部へ紙葉類送出しを行う紙葉類繰出しユニットが同一装置で構成された紙葉類取扱装置搬送機構に関する。 The present invention relates to a paper sheet handling device transport mechanism, and more specifically, a paper sheet take-in unit that receives paper sheets from a customer and a paper sheet feeding unit that sends paper sheets to a discrimination unit are the same device. It relates to a paper sheet handling device transport mechanism composed of
　従来、例えば、金融機関等で使用されているＡＴＭ(automated telling machine) などに搭載されている紙幣入出金ユニットの紙幣収納繰出装置がある。また、駅構内等に設置されている券売機などには紙葉類繰出装置が搭載されている。 Conventionally, for example, there is a banknote storage and feeding device of a banknote depositing and dispensing unit mounted on an ATM (automated telling machine) used in financial institutions and the like. In addition, a paper sheet feeding device is mounted on a ticket machine installed in a station premises or the like.
　中でも、紙幣入出金ユニットの紙幣挿入口には、１枚又は複数枚重ねられた紙幣束が横長の状態でほぼ垂直方向に挿入されるポケット式と呼ばれる形式のものと、同じく紙幣束が横長の状態ではあるが、水平方向に挿入されるスロット式と呼ばれる形式のものとがある。 Among them, at the banknote insertion slot of the banknote depositing / dispensing unit, one or a plurality of stacked banknote bundles are inserted in a substantially vertical direction in the form of a pocket type, and the banknote bundle is also horizontally long. Although it is in a state, there is a type called a slot type inserted in the horizontal direction.
　スロット式の挿入口に紙幣を受入れて処理する紙葉類収納装置としては、複数の紙葉類を一括して搬送ベルトで挟み、整列させて保持し、この保持した紙幣束を、上下２つのガイド部材で形成される紙幣受取空間に送り出し、２つのガイド部材が下方に移動して紙幣束を鑑別部に繰り出すようにした紙葉類収納装置が提案されている。（例えば、特許文献１参照。） As a paper sheet storage device that accepts and processes banknotes in a slot-type insertion slot, a plurality of paper sheets are collectively sandwiched between conveyance belts, held in alignment, and the stored banknote bundle is There has been proposed a paper sheet storage device that is fed to a bill receiving space formed by a guide member and that two guide members move downward to feed a bill bundle to a discrimination section. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1.)
　図７(a),(b),(c)は、そのような紙葉類収納装置における特許文献１の構成と類似の構成のＡＴＭの紙幣取込みユニットと紙幣繰出しユニットの構成と処理動作を簡略に示す図である。 7 (a), 7 (b), and 7 (c) simplify the configuration and processing operation of an ATM banknote taking-in unit and banknote feeding unit having a configuration similar to that of Patent Document 1 in such a paper sheet storage device. FIG.
　図７(a)の構成を説明すると、先ず、紙幣取込みユニット１は、スロット式の挿入口２を備え、内部には、挿入口２の高さよりやや高く形成された空間の上下に、クランプベルト５と搬送ベルト６が配置されている。図７(a)は、クランプベルト５が上方の位置からクランプ位置に降下した状態を示している。 Referring to FIG. 7A, first, the banknote taking-in unit 1 is provided with a slot-type insertion slot 2, and a clamp belt is provided above and below a space formed slightly higher than the insertion slot 2. 5 and a conveyor belt 6 are arranged. FIG. 7A shows a state where the clamp belt 5 is lowered from the upper position to the clamp position.
　すなわち、クランプベルト５は、上駆動ローラ３と上従動ローラ４に掛け渡されて上下に可動式となって配置されている。このクランプベルト５は、矢印ａの方向に回転する上駆動ローラ３に駆動されて下搬送部５ａが矢印ｂ方向に循環移動する。 That is, the clamp belt 5 is arranged so as to be movable up and down around the upper drive roller 3 and the upper driven roller 4. The clamp belt 5 is driven by the upper drive roller 3 that rotates in the direction of arrow a, and the lower conveying portion 5a circulates and moves in the direction of arrow b.
　また、搬送ベルト６は、クランプベルト５の下方にクランプベルト５と平行に位置固定して配置されている。搬送ベルト６は、下駆動ローラ７と下従動ローラ８に掛け渡され、矢印ｃの方向に回転する下駆動ローラ７に駆動されて上搬送部６ａが矢印ｄ方向に循環移動する。 Further, the conveying belt 6 is disposed below the clamp belt 5 in a position fixed in parallel with the clamp belt 5. The conveyor belt 6 is stretched around the lower drive roller 7 and the lower driven roller 8 and is driven by the lower drive roller 7 rotating in the direction of the arrow c, so that the upper conveyor 6a circulates in the direction of the arrow d.
　また、２の内部近傍には光透過型の光学センサ９が配置されている。光学センサ９は挿入口２から挿入された紙幣を検知する。また、紙幣取込みユニット１の奥端上方には、回動支持軸１１に支持されたフック１２が水平位置に待機して配置されている。 Further, a light transmission type optical sensor 9 is arranged in the vicinity of the inside of 2. The optical sensor 9 detects a bill inserted from the insertion slot 2. In addition, a hook 12 supported by the rotation support shaft 11 is disposed in a horizontal position above the back end of the banknote capturing unit 1 in a horizontal position.
　他方の紙幣繰出しユニット１０は、紙幣取込みユニット１の後方に連設されている上部に、紙幣取込みユニット１のクランプベルト５と搬送ベルト６が形成する空間の高さとほぼ同一の高さの紙幣受取空間１３が形成されている。紙幣受取空間１３の上下には、上ガイド部材１４と下ガイド部材１５がそれぞれ配置されている。 The other banknote feeding unit 10 receives a banknote having a height substantially equal to the height of the space formed by the clamp belt 5 and the transport belt 6 of the banknote taking-in unit 1 at the upper part connected to the rear of the banknote taking-in unit 1. A space 13 is formed. An upper guide member 14 and a lower guide member 15 are respectively disposed above and below the bill receiving space 13.
　上ガイド部材１４の紙幣取込みユニット１方向の端部は、紙幣取込みユニット１から延在して紙幣繰出しユニット１０に入り込んでいるクランプベルト５の奥端部とオーバーラップしている。また、紙幣繰出しユニット１０の下方には、繰出しローラ１６と、繰出しローラ対１７が配置されている。 The end of the upper guide member 14 in the direction of the banknote taking unit 1 overlaps the inner end of the clamp belt 5 extending from the banknote taking unit 1 and entering the banknote feeding unit 10. A feeding roller 16 and a feeding roller pair 17 are disposed below the banknote feeding unit 10.
　図７(a)において、光学センサ９が挿入口２から挿入された紙幣１８を検知すると、クランプベルト５が下方に降下して、紙幣１８を所定の押圧力で搬送ベルト６と共に挟持する。そして、上駆動ローラ３と下駆動ローラ７がそれぞれ矢印ａ及び矢印ｃで示す方向に回転する。 7 (a), when the optical sensor 9 detects the banknote 18 inserted from the insertion slot 2, the clamp belt 5 descends downward and clamps the banknote 18 together with the transport belt 6 with a predetermined pressing force. Then, the upper drive roller 3 and the lower drive roller 7 rotate in directions indicated by arrows a and c, respectively.
　これにより、クランプベルト５の下搬送部５ａと搬送ベルト６の上搬送部６ａがそれぞれ矢印ｂ及び矢印ｄ方向に循環移動を開始し、紙幣１８を紙幣繰出しユニット１０の紙幣受取空間１３へと搬送する。これにより、紙幣取込みユニット１から紙幣繰出しユニット１０へと紙幣１８が引き渡される。 Thereby, the lower conveyance part 5a of the clamp belt 5 and the upper conveyance part 6a of the conveyance belt 6 start to circulate in the directions of arrows b and d, respectively, and convey the banknote 18 to the banknote receiving space 13 of the banknote feeding unit 10. To do. Thereby, the banknote 18 is delivered from the banknote taking-in unit 1 to the banknote feeding unit 10.
　上記に続いて、図７(b)に示すように、クランプベルト５が矢印ｅで示すように上方の待機位置に上昇して、紙幣１８への押圧を解除する。押圧を解除された紙幣１８は、挿入口２に入れられたときの高さまで、破線ｆで囲んで示すように自由状態に戻る。 Subsequently to the above, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), the clamp belt 5 rises to the upper standby position as shown by the arrow e, and the pressure on the banknote 18 is released. The banknote 18 whose pressure has been released returns to the free state as shown by being surrounded by a broken line f up to the height when it is inserted into the insertion slot 2.
　ここで、通常、紙幣受取空間１３に引き渡された紙幣１８の搬送方向後端は、図７(b)に示すように、紙幣取込みユニット１側に飛び出している場合が多い。したがって、そのような場合を想定して紙幣取込みユニット１の後端上方にフック１２が配置されている。 Here, usually, the rear end in the transport direction of the banknote 18 delivered to the banknote receiving space 13 often protrudes to the banknote taking-in unit 1 side as shown in FIG. Therefore, the hook 12 is disposed above the rear end of the banknote capturing unit 1 assuming such a case.
　フック１２は、紙幣受取空間１３に紙幣１８が引き渡されると、上方の待機位置から、図７(c)に矢印ｇで示すように、回動支持軸１１により時計回り方向に回動駆動されて、紙幣取込みユニット１側に飛び出しているかもしれない紙幣１８の後端部を叩く。 When the banknote 18 is delivered to the banknote receiving space 13, the hook 12 is rotationally driven clockwise from the upper standby position by the rotational support shaft 11 as indicated by an arrow g in FIG. Then, the rear end portion of the banknote 18 which may have jumped out to the banknote taking-in unit 1 side is hit.
　もし紙幣１８の後端部が紙幣取込みユニット１側に飛び出していたときは、フック１２による叩きで後端部に衝撃を受け、その衝撃の反動で、紙幣１８が紙幣受取空間１３内に飛び込み、図７(c)に破線ｈで囲んで示すように、紙幣受取空間１３への紙幣１８の引き渡しが完了する。 If the rear end of the banknote 18 has jumped out to the banknote taking-in unit 1 side, the rear end is impacted by hitting with the hook 12, and the banknote 18 jumps into the banknote receiving space 13 by reaction of the impact. As shown in FIG. 7C surrounded by a broken line h, the delivery of the banknote 18 to the banknote receiving space 13 is completed.
　続いて、図７(a)に示すように、上ガイド部材１４と下ガイド部材１５が矢印ｉ及び矢印ｊで示すように同時に下降を開始する。下ガイド部材１５は紙幣１８を載置する面が、繰出しローラ対１７の下ローラの上部周面より下方にオーバーラップした位置で停止する。 Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 7A, the upper guide member 14 and the lower guide member 15 start to descend simultaneously as indicated by arrows i and j. The lower guide member 15 stops at a position where the surface on which the banknote 18 is placed overlaps below the upper peripheral surface of the lower roller of the feeding roller pair 17.
　一方の上ガイド部材１４は、更に下降して、紙幣１８を所定の押圧力で繰出しローラ１６に押圧したところで停止する。繰出しローラ１６が最下部の紙幣１８の底面に摺接して回転し、最下部の一枚の紙幣１８を繰出しローラ対１７に向けて繰出す。繰出しローラ対１７は紙幣１８への繰出しを引継ぎ、紙幣１８を図外の例えば鑑別部に連絡する搬送路に向けて排出する。 One upper guide member 14 further descends and stops when the bill 18 is pressed against the feeding roller 16 with a predetermined pressing force. The feeding roller 16 rotates in sliding contact with the bottom surface of the lowermost banknote 18 and feeds the lowermost banknote 18 toward the feeding roller pair 17. The supply roller pair 17 takes over the supply to the banknote 18 and discharges the banknote 18 toward a conveyance path that communicates with, for example, a discrimination unit (not shown).

　ところで、諸国の紙葉類（以下、紙幣という）は、横幅だけでなく前後の幅もそれぞれサイズが異なるものが多い。そのような紙幣をＡＴＭに預金する場合は、預金者は横や縦の不揃いな紙幣の束をそのままＡＴＭの紙幣挿入口に挿入することになる。 By the way, many paper sheets (hereinafter referred to as banknotes) in various countries have different sizes not only in the width but also in the front and back. When depositing such banknotes into an ATM, the depositor inserts a bundle of banknotes that are uneven horizontally and vertically into the banknote insertion slot of the ATM.
　したがって、ＡＴＭの紙幣挿入口すなわち図７(a)の紙幣取込みユニット１から、紙幣繰出しユニット１０に引き渡された紙幣１８は、図７(c)に示すように、極めて不揃いで乱雑な状態で重なっている。 Therefore, the banknotes 18 delivered from the banknote insertion slot of ATM, that is, the banknote taking-in unit 1 of FIG. 7A to the banknote feeding unit 10 are overlapped in an extremely irregular and messy state as shown in FIG. 7C. ing.
　特に搬送方向の先端が不揃いであると、紙幣１８の繰出しローラ１６からの繰り出しと、繰出しローラ対１７への繰出し引継ぎのタイミングが、個々の紙幣１８ごとに異なってくるため、紙幣繰出しユニット１０より下流の搬送路切替部において、切替ゲートの切替タイミングが合わなくなってジャム発生の要因となる。 In particular, if the leading ends in the transport direction are not uniform, the feeding timing of the banknotes 18 from the feeding roller 16 and the feeding and handing over to the feeding roller pair 17 are different for each banknote 18. In the downstream conveyance path switching unit, the switching timing of the switching gates is not matched, which causes a jam.
　また、ＡＴＭの挿入口に挿入された紙幣を鑑別部に送り込むために、紙幣取込みユニットと紙幣繰出しユニットという比較的大型の２つのユニットを用いるのは、部品数の多いことによるコスト高や、保守作業に手数が掛ることによるランニングコスト高の問題が多い。 Moreover, in order to send the banknote inserted in the insertion slot of ATM to a discrimination part, using two comparatively large units, a banknote taking-in unit and a banknote feeding unit, is expensive due to the large number of parts and maintenance. There are many problems of high running costs due to work.
　また、紙幣取込みユニットと紙幣繰出しユニットという２つのユニット間で紙幣の受け渡しを行う処理は、各駆動部の駆動タイミングの僅かの狂いでジャムなどが発生するので制御には高度の技術を要し、この面でもコストの上昇を招くという問題がある。 In addition, the process of transferring banknotes between the two units, the banknote taking-in unit and the banknote feeding unit, requires a high level of technology to control because jams occur due to slight deviations in the drive timing of each drive unit, In this aspect, there is a problem that the cost increases.
　本発明は、上記従来の課題を解決するものであって、顧客からの紙葉類受入れを行う紙葉類取込みユニットと鑑別部へ紙葉類送出しを行う紙葉類繰出しユニットが同一装置で構成された紙葉類取扱装置搬送機構を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention solves the above-described conventional problems, and a paper sheet take-in unit that accepts paper sheets from a customer and a paper sheet feeding unit that sends paper sheets to a discrimination unit are the same apparatus.

　繰込ローラ対３７ａ、３７ｂは、それぞれ回転軸３７ａ－１、３７ｂ－１（但し、図２(a)では回転軸３７ｂ－１は、回転軸３７ａ－１の陰になって見えない）の両端を、上部モジュール２７の不図示のフレームに軸支されている。 The feeding roller pairs 37a and 37b are respectively connected to both ends of the rotating shafts 37a-1 and 37b-1 (however, in FIG. 2A, the rotating shaft 37b-1 is not visible behind the rotating shaft 37a-1). Is pivotally supported by a frame (not shown) of the upper module 27.
　また、上部モジュール２７の搬送機構２４側には、繰込ローラ対３７よりも奥側の上下に、入出金口２５から挿入された紙幣３６を検知するための、発光部３８ａと受光部３８ｂからなる光透過型の光学センサ３８が配置されている。 Further, on the transport mechanism 24 side of the upper module 27, from the light emitting part 38a and the light receiving part 38b for detecting the bill 36 inserted from the deposit / withdrawal port 25 above and below the feeding roller pair 37. A light transmission type optical sensor 38 is arranged.
　また、上部モジュール２７の搬送機構２４側の搬送台３４の両側の下方には、搬送台３４を入出金口２５の位置から紙葉類繰出部３５までの間の往復移動を案内するための、図２(a)に示す搬送台案内レール３９（３９ａ、３９ｂ）が配設されている。 Further, below both sides of the transport table 34 on the transport mechanism 24 side of the upper module 27, the transport table 34 is used to guide the reciprocating movement from the position of the deposit / withdrawal port 25 to the paper sheet feeding unit 35. Transport table guide rails 39 (39a, 39b) shown in FIG.
　搬送台３４は、両側端に紙幣飛出し防止用の側壁４１（４１ａ、４１ｂ）を備えている。一方の側壁４１（図２(a)では４１ｂ）にはモータ４０が取り付けられている。モータ４０の回転駆動軸は、搬送台案内レール３９に係合している。 The conveyance stand 34 is provided with side walls 41 (41a, 41b) for preventing bills from jumping out on both side ends. A motor 40 is attached to one side wall 41 (41b in FIG. 2A). The rotational drive shaft of the motor 40 is engaged with the transport guide rail 39.
　また、搬送台３４の側壁４１の上縁近傍には長孔４２が形成されている。長孔４２にはストッパ部材４３と一体のストッパ支持軸４４が嵌入している。ストッパ支持軸４４は、ストッパ部材４３と一体になって長孔４２に沿って搬送台３４のほぼ中央部から移動方向前端部まで、矢印ｊで示すように摺動可能である。 Further, a long hole 42 is formed in the vicinity of the upper edge of the side wall 41 of the transport table 34. A stopper support shaft 44 integral with the stopper member 43 is fitted into the long hole 42. The stopper support shaft 44 is slidable as indicated by an arrow j integrally with the stopper member 43 along the long hole 42 from the substantially central portion of the transport table 34 to the front end portion in the moving direction.
　ストッパ支持軸４４の上方、つまり長孔４２の上方には、押さえ部材４５がヒンジ４６及び回動部４７を介して支持軸４８に軸支されて配置されている。 A pressing member 45 is disposed above the stopper support shaft 44, that is, above the long hole 42, and is supported by the support shaft 48 via a hinge 46 and a rotating portion 47.
　ここで、図２(a),(b)及び図３(a)は、入出金口２５から紙幣３６が搬送台３４のほぼ中央部まで挿入され、光学センサ３８によって紙幣挿入が検知された初期の状態を示している。 2 (a), 2 (b), and 3 (a), the banknote 36 is inserted from the deposit / withdrawal port 25 to almost the center of the transport table 34, and the initial insertion of the banknote is detected by the optical sensor 38. Shows the state.
　まず、顧客２６により挿入される紙幣３６は、図３(a)の状態の時にストッパ部材４３の当接面に沿って、先端部が揃えられた状態でセットされる。そして、光学センサ３８によって紙幣挿入が検知されると、図３(b)に示すように、繰込ローラ対３７の上ローラ３７ａが上方の待機位置から矢印ｋで示すように降下し、紙幣３６を下ローラ３７ｂと共に挟持した状態となる位置で停止する（図示していないが、圧力センサ等で繰込ローラ対３７が紙幣３６を挟時した状態を検出する）。そして、繰込ローラ対３７がそれぞれ矢印ｍ及びｎで示すように紙幣繰り込み方向に回転する。 First, the bill 36 inserted by the customer 26 is set in a state where the front end portion is aligned along the contact surface of the stopper member 43 in the state of FIG. When the insertion of the bill is detected by the optical sensor 38, as shown in FIG. 3B, the upper roller 37a of the feeding roller pair 37 descends from the upper standby position as indicated by the arrow k, and the bill 36 Is stopped at a position where it is held together with the lower roller 37b (not shown, but a state where the feeding roller pair 37 pinches the bill 36 is detected by a pressure sensor or the like). Then, the feeding roller pair 37 rotates in the bill feeding direction as indicated by arrows m and n, respectively.
　また、不図示のモータにより駆動される繰込ローラ対３７に連動（ギア等で駆動が伝達）して、ストッパ部材４３は搬送台３４の移動方向前端部（図３(b)の左端部）に移動する。 In addition, the stopper member 43 is linked to a feeding roller pair 37 driven by a motor (not shown) (drive is transmitted by a gear or the like), and the stopper member 43 is a front end portion in the moving direction of the transport base 34 (left end portion in FIG. 3B) Move to.
　ストッパ支持軸４４及びストッパ部材４３が、図３(b)のように搬送台３４の移動方向前端部に移動すると、押さえ部材４５の支持軸４８が回転する。これにより、回動部４７が下方に回動し、ヒンジ４６を介して押さえ部材４５が矢印ｐで示すように下降して紙幣束３６を押圧する。そして、押圧された状態のまま、紙幣束３６は搬送台３４により搬送されるため、搬送途中で積層状態が崩れることなく搬送されることとなる。 When the stopper support shaft 44 and the stopper member 43 are moved to the front end in the movement direction of the transport table 34 as shown in FIG. 3B, the support shaft 48 of the pressing member 45 is rotated. Thereby, the rotation part 47 is rotated downward, and the pressing member 45 is lowered via the hinge 46 as indicated by the arrow p to press the banknote bundle 36. And since the banknote bundle 36 is conveyed by the conveyance stand 34 with the state pressed, it will be conveyed, without a lamination | stacking state collapsing in the middle of conveyance.
　図４(a),(b)及び図５(a),(b),(c)は、図３(a),(b),(c)に続く一連の、紙幣束３６が入出金口２５から挿入され、挿入された紙幣束３６を載置した搬送台３４が紙葉類繰出部３５まで搬送する動作状態を示す図である。図６は上記の動作状態を説明するフローチャートである。 4 (a), 4 (b) and 5 (a), (b), (c) are a series of banknote bundles 36 following FIG. 3 (a), (b), (c). It is a figure which shows the operation state which the conveyance stand 34 which inserted from 25 and mounted the inserted banknote bundle 36 conveys to the paper sheet feeding part 35. FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the operation state.
　尚、図４(a),(b)及び図５(a),(b),(c)には、説明に必要と思われる構成部分にのみ図１(a),(b)乃至図３(a),(b),(c)と同一の番号を付与して示している。再び図１乃至図３並びに図４及び図５を参照し、図６のフローチャートを用いて動作状態を説明する。 4 (a), (b) and FIGS. 5 (a), (b), and (c), only components that are considered necessary for the description are shown in FIGS. The same numbers as (a), (b), and (c) are given. The operation state will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 and FIGS. 4 and 5 again with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
　図６において、先ず、紙幣（又は紙幣束）が投入される（ステップＳ１）。この状態は、図１(a)に示す顧客２６によって紙幣３６が図２(a),(b)又は図３(a)に示すように入出金口２５に挿入された状態である。 In FIG. 6, first, bills (or bill bundles) are inserted (step S1). This state is a state in which a bill 36 is inserted into the deposit / withdrawal port 25 as shown in FIG. 2 (a), (b) or FIG. 3 (a) by the customer 26 shown in FIG. 1 (a).
　続いて、紙幣が検知される（ステップＳ２）。この状態は、図３(a)に示したように、上記入出金口２５に挿入された紙幣３６が、光学センサ３８によって検知された状態である。 Subsequently, a bill is detected (step S2). This state is a state in which the bill 36 inserted into the deposit / withdrawal port 25 is detected by the optical sensor 38 as shown in FIG.
　光学センサ３８により紙幣の挿入が検出されると、上ローラが下降して紙幣を押える（ステップＳ３）。この状態は、図３(b)に矢印ｋで示したように、繰込ローラ対３７の上ローラ３７ａが上方の待機位置から降下して、紙幣３６を下ローラ３７ｂと共に挟持した状態、つまり上ローラ３７が下降し、紙幣３６を押圧した状態で下降動作が停止した状態ある。 When the insertion of the banknote is detected by the optical sensor 38, the upper roller descends and presses the banknote (step S3). In this state, as indicated by an arrow k in FIG. 3B, the upper roller 37a of the feeding roller pair 37 is lowered from the upper standby position, and the banknote 36 is held together with the lower roller 37b, that is, the upper side. There is a state in which the lowering operation is stopped while the roller 37 is lowered and the bill 36 is pressed.
　続いて、上下ローラの回転し、連動してストッパが後方移動し、紙幣を完全に搬送台の中に入れる（収容する）（ステップＳ４）。この状態は、図３(b)に示したように、上下ローラ３７ａ及び３７ｂがそれぞれ矢印ｍ及びｎで示すように回転して、図３(c)に示したように、紙幣３６を搬送台３４の中に完全に入れた（収容した）状態である。 Subsequently, the upper and lower rollers rotate and the stopper moves backward in conjunction with each other, and the banknote is completely placed (accommodated) in the transport table (step S4). In this state, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), the upper and lower rollers 37a and 37b rotate as indicated by arrows m and n, respectively, and as shown in FIG. 34 is completely put (accommodated) in 34.
　次に、搬送台に取り付けられている押え部材で紙幣を押える（ステップＳ５）。この状態は、図３(c)に示したように、ヒンジ４６及び回動部４７を介して支持軸４８に支持される押さえ部材４５が支持軸４８の反時計回り方向の回転により、矢印ｐで示すように下降して紙幣束３６を押圧した状態である。 Next, the banknote is pressed with a pressing member attached to the transport table (step S5). In this state, as shown in FIG. 3C, the pressing member 45 supported by the support shaft 48 via the hinge 46 and the rotation portion 47 rotates the support shaft 48 in the counterclockwise direction. It is a state which descend | falls as shown by and pressed the banknote bundle 36. FIG.
　続いて、モータを駆動し、搬送台を紙幣繰出部まで移動させる（ステップＳ６）。この状態は、図４(a)に示すモータ４０が搬送台案内レール３９に係合して駆動を開始する。これにより、搬送台３４が搬送台案内レール３９に沿って、矢印ｑ、ｒで示すように、搬送機構２４の入出金口２５から奥方向に延在する水平部を紙幣繰出部３５方向に移動する。 Then, a motor is driven and a conveyance stand is moved to a banknote feeding part (step S6). In this state, the motor 40 shown in FIG. 4A is engaged with the carriage guide rail 39 to start driving. As a result, the conveyance table 34 moves along the conveyance table guide rail 39 in the direction of the bill feeding unit 35 from the horizontal portion extending in the back direction from the deposit / withdrawal port 25 of the conveyance mechanism 24 as indicated by arrows q and r. To do.
　紙幣繰出部３５に連続する搬送案内レール３９は水平部に対して反時計回り方向に４５度以上の角度で傾斜している。この傾斜角は４５度以上であれば何度でもよいが、本例では４５度と９０度（鉛直）の中間に設定している。 The conveyance guide rail 39 continuing to the banknote feeding part 35 is inclined at an angle of 45 degrees or more in the counterclockwise direction with respect to the horizontal part. This inclination angle may be any number as long as it is 45 degrees or more, but in this example, it is set between 45 degrees and 90 degrees (vertical).
　続いて、押え部材を除圧させ、紙幣への圧力を弱める、又は押え部材を完全に退避させる（ステップＳ７）。この状態は、押さえ部材４５の支持軸４８が時計回り方向に回転することにより設定される。 Subsequently, the presser member is depressurized to weaken the pressure on the banknote, or the presser member is completely retracted (step S7). This state is set when the support shaft 48 of the pressing member 45 rotates in the clockwise direction.
　すなわち、図４(b)に示すように、回動部４７及びがヒンジ４６を介して押さえ部材４５が矢印ｓで示すように紙幣３６から離れる方向に移動して、紙幣３６への圧力を弱める、又は紙幣３６の状態によっては紙幣３６から完全に離れる位置に退避する状態となる。また、搬送案内レール３９は紙幣繰出部３５の下部に向けて傾斜されているため、搬送台に載置された紙幣は押え部材の除圧により自重により先端部がストッパ部材４３に当接し、先端部が揃えられる。 That is, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), the rotation part 47 and the holding member 45 move through the hinge 46 in the direction away from the bill 36 as indicated by the arrow s, and the pressure on the bill 36 is reduced. Alternatively, depending on the state of the bill 36, the bill 36 is retracted to a position completely away from the bill 36. Moreover, since the conveyance guide rail 39 is inclined toward the lower part of the banknote feeding part 35, the banknotes placed on the conveyance table are brought into contact with the stopper member 43 by the dead weight due to the pressure of the presser member, Parts are aligned.
　尚、図４(b)では他の部材の動きが見易いようにモータ４０の図示を省略している。また、押さえ部材４５が紙幣３６から完全に離れる場合の紙幣３６の状態とは、紙幣３６に皺や折れ癖が付いていて、束になっている紙幣間の摩擦が通常よりも大きいことが予想される状態のことである。 In FIG. 4B, the illustration of the motor 40 is omitted so that the movement of other members can be easily seen. Further, the state of the banknote 36 when the pressing member 45 is completely separated from the banknote 36 is predicted that the banknote 36 is wrinkled or folded, and the friction between the bundled banknotes is larger than usual. It is a state to be done.
　続いて、紙幣の自重により紙幣の先端を揃えさせる（ステップＳ８）。この状態は、上記のように、押さえ部材４５による紙幣３６への圧力を弱める又は紙幣３６から完全に離れることが前提となる。 Subsequently, the leading edges of the banknotes are aligned by the weight of the banknotes (step S8). As described above, this state is based on the premise that the pressure applied to the bill 36 by the pressing member 45 is weakened or completely separated from the bill 36.
　これによって、図４(b)に示すように、下向きとなっている紙幣３６の先端のうち、ストッパ部材４３の当接面に未だ当接していない紙幣３６があった場合、その紙幣３６が矢印ｔで示すように下に移動してストッパ部材４３の当接面に揃えられる状態となる。 As a result, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), when there is a bill 36 not yet in contact with the contact surface of the stopper member 43 among the tips of the bill 36 facing downward, the bill 36 is indicated by an arrow. As indicated by t, it moves downward and is aligned with the contact surface of the stopper member 43.
　次に、紙幣の自重のみでの紙幣の先端を揃えることが困難な場合を予測して、搬送台を数回上下動させ、反動で紙幣先端を揃える（ステップＳ９）。この状態は、図示を省略したモータ４０が、図５(a)の両方向矢印ｕで示すように、搬送台３４を上下に振動させる状態を示している。これにより、紙幣３６の先端がストッパ部材４３の当接面に完全に揃った状態となる。 Next, predicting the case where it is difficult to align the leading edge of the banknote only by its own weight, the transport table is moved up and down several times, and the leading edge of the banknote is aligned by reaction (step S9). This state shows a state in which the motor 40 (not shown) vibrates the transport table 34 up and down as indicated by a double arrow u in FIG. Thereby, the front end of the banknote 36 is completely aligned with the contact surface of the stopper member 43.
　続いて、ストッパが退避する（ステップＳ１０）。この状態は、図５(ｂ)に示すように、ストッパ部材４３が、それまで紙幣３６の先端を規制していた位置からストッパ支持軸４４の回転により矢印ｗで示すように時計回り方向に回動して搬送台３４の下部前端の紙葉類繰出し口４９を開放する状態を示している。 Subsequently, the stopper is retracted (step S10). In this state, as shown in FIG. 5B, the stopper member 43 rotates clockwise as indicated by the arrow w by the rotation of the stopper support shaft 44 from the position where the tip of the bill 36 has been regulated until then. The state is shown in which the paper sheet feeding port 49 at the lower front end of the transport table 34 is opened.
　更に続いて、押え部材で紙幣を押える（ステップＳ１１）。尚、この場合、特には図示しないが、紙葉類繰出部３５に予め備えられている他の押え部材を用いるようにしてもよい。また、ステップＳ１１の状態は、図５(ｂ)に示す押さえ部材４５の支持軸４８が反時計回り方向に回転することで設定される。 Subsequently, the bill is pressed with the pressing member (step S11). In this case, although not particularly illustrated, another press member provided in advance in the paper sheet feeding portion 35 may be used. Further, the state in step S11 is set by rotating the support shaft 48 of the pressing member 45 shown in FIG. 5B in the counterclockwise direction.
　すなわち、回動部４７及びがヒンジ４６を介して押さえ部材４５が矢印ｘで示すように紙幣３６の方向に移動して、紙葉類繰出部３５の下部に設けられている繰出しローラ５１に向けて紙幣束３６を圧力する状態となる。 That is, the rotating portion 47 and the holding member 45 move through the hinge 46 in the direction of the bill 36 as indicated by the arrow x, toward the feeding roller 51 provided at the lower portion of the paper sheet feeding portion 35. Thus, the banknote bundle 36 is pressed.
　そして、紙幣繰出しローラを駆動し、紙幣を一枚ずつ繰出す（ステップＳ１２）。この状態は、図５(c)に示すように、先ず、繰出しローラ５１が矢印ｚで示す反時計回り方向に回転して搬送台３４の底部から紙幣３６を一枚ずつ紙葉類繰出し口４９の外へ繰出す。 Then, the bill feeding roller is driven to feed bills one by one (step S12). In this state, as shown in FIG. 5 (c), first, the feeding roller 51 rotates counterclockwise as indicated by the arrow z, and the bills 36 are fed one by one from the bottom of the transport table 34. Pull out outside.
　次に、これも紙葉類繰出部３５の下部に、繰出しローラ５１の下流側に設けられている搬送ローラ対５２が、紙葉類繰出し口４９から繰出された紙幣３６を挟持して、図１(b)に示した搬送経路ａに送り出す状態を示している。以下の動作は図１(a)で説明した通りである。 Next, a pair of transport rollers 52 provided on the downstream side of the feeding roller 51 also sandwiches the bill 36 fed from the paper sheet feeding port 49 at the lower part of the paper sheet feeding portion 35, The state which sends out to the conveyance path | route a shown to 1 (b) is shown. The following operation is as described in FIG.
　このように、本発明の実施例によれば、紙幣取込みユニットと紙幣繰出しユニットが一台の搬送台３４に統合され、入出金口２５から紙葉類繰出部３５までの紙幣３６の移動が一台の搬送台３４と搬送台案内レール３９によって行われるので、構造簡易化による部品コスト低減と、保守作業の容易化によるランニングコスト低減に有効な紙葉類取扱装置搬送機構を提供することが可能となる。 As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the bill taking-in unit and the bill feeding unit are integrated into one transport table 34, and the movement of the bill 36 from the deposit / withdrawal port 25 to the paper sheet feeding unit 35 is performed one time. Since it is performed by the carrier table 34 and the carrier guide rail 39, it is possible to provide a paper sheet handling device conveyance mechanism that is effective for reducing the component cost by simplifying the structure and reducing the running cost by simplifying the maintenance work. It becomes.
