　このような入金部１３０３においては、紙幣投入時、特に図２４に示すように紙幣ＢＬがプールガイド２４に近接した位置で投入された場合、当該紙幣ＢＬの下端が高摩擦材２０Ａに接触する可能性がある。 In such a depositing unit 1303, when the bill is inserted, particularly when the bill BL is inserted at a position close to the pool guide 24 as shown in FIG. 24, the lower end of the bill BL can contact the high friction material 20A. There is sex.
　その場合、紙幣ＢＬが高摩擦材２０Ａに引っ掛かり、図２５のように浮き上がったり、めくれて折れてしまったりするおそれがあった。 In that case, there was a risk that the banknote BL would be caught by the high friction material 20A and floated as shown in FIG.
　そのような状態で紙幣ＢＬを分離して繰り出そうとすると、取込口１３０３Ｃで紙幣ＢＬが詰まってしまう繰出不良や、現金自動取引装置内に搬送された後の搬送不良が発生する可能性があり、信頼性が低下してしまうおそれがあった。 In such a state, when the bills BL are separated and fed out, there is a possibility that a feeding failure in which the bills BL are clogged at the intake port 1303C or a conveyance failure after being conveyed into the automatic teller machine may occur. There was a risk that reliability would be lowered.
　本発明は以上の点を考慮してなされたもので、信頼性を高め得る媒体集積装置及び媒体取引装置を提案しようとするものである。 The present invention has been made in consideration of the above points, and intends to propose a media stacking device and a media transaction device that can improve reliability.
　かかる課題を解決するために、本発明の一態様の媒体集積装置においては、開口を介し投入された紙葉状の媒体を収容する媒体プールと、外周面の一部において当該外周面の他の箇所より高い摩擦係数を有する高摩擦材が形成され、収容された媒体の側面に接し高摩擦材を接触させ回転することにより媒体を媒体プールから繰り出すローラとを設け、高摩擦材を、媒体が媒体プールに投入される媒体取込時において、当該媒体に接触しない位置に配置するようにした。 In order to solve such a problem, in the medium stacking apparatus according to one aspect of the present invention, a medium pool that stores a sheet-like medium loaded through an opening, and another part of the outer peripheral surface in a part of the outer peripheral surface A high-friction material having a higher friction coefficient is formed, and a roller for feeding the medium out of the medium pool by contacting and rotating the high-friction material in contact with the side surface of the accommodated medium is provided. At the time of taking in the medium put into the pool, it is arranged at a position where it does not come into contact with the medium.
　この媒体集積装置は、媒体が媒体プールに投入される際、ローラの高摩擦材に媒体が接触して変形してしまうことを防ぐことができる。 This medium accumulating apparatus can prevent the medium from coming into contact with the high friction material of the roller and deforming when the medium is put into the medium pool.
　また本発明の一態様の媒体取引装置においては、紙葉状の媒体に関する操作を受け付ける操作部と、開口を介し投入された紙葉状の媒体を収容する媒体プールと、外周面の一部において当該外周面の他の箇所より高い摩擦係数を有する高摩擦材が形成され、収容された媒体の側面に接し高摩擦材を接触させ回転することにより媒体を媒体プールから繰り出すローラとを設け、高摩擦材を、媒体が媒体プールに投入される媒体取込時において、当該媒体に接触しない位置に配置するようにした。 In the medium transaction apparatus according to one aspect of the present invention, the operation unit that receives an operation related to the sheet-shaped medium, the medium pool that stores the sheet-shaped medium input through the opening, and a part of the outer peripheral surface A high friction material having a higher friction coefficient than other portions of the surface is formed, and provided with a roller that draws out the medium from the medium pool by contacting and rotating the high friction material in contact with the side surface of the accommodated medium. Is arranged at a position that does not come into contact with the medium when the medium is taken into the medium pool.
　この媒体取引装置は、媒体が媒体プールに投入される際、ローラの高摩擦材に媒体が接触して変形してしまうことを防ぐことができる。 This medium transaction device can prevent the medium from coming into contact with the high friction material of the roller and deforming when the medium is put into the medium pool.
　本態様によれば、媒体が媒体プールに投入される際、ローラの高摩擦材に媒体が接触して変形してしまうことを防ぐことができる。かくして本態様は、信頼性を高め得る媒体集積装置及び媒体取引装置を実現できる。 According to this aspect, when the medium is put into the medium pool, the medium can be prevented from being deformed due to contact with the high friction material of the roller. Thus, according to this aspect, it is possible to realize a medium stacking apparatus and a medium transaction apparatus that can improve reliability.

Thereafter, the user collects the banknotes by removing the banknote cassette 13 with the reject box from the automatic teller machine 1.
　また紙幣補充時には、紙幣収納庫１３Ａに補充紙幣を収納したリジェクト庫付き紙幣カセット１３を、ユーザが現金自動取引装置１にセットする。その後、紙幣収納庫１３Ａに収納されている補充紙幣は、リジェクト庫付き紙幣カセット１３から繰り出されて、鑑別部１０を経由して紙幣カセット１２Ａ～１２Ｄに搬送され補充される。現金自動取引装置１では、このようにして紙幣の補充を行うようになっている。 In addition, at the time of banknote replenishment, the user sets the banknote cassette 13 with a reject bank, which stores the banknotes stored in the banknote storage 13 </ b> A, in the automatic teller machine 1. Thereafter, the replenishing banknotes stored in the banknote storage 13A are fed out from the banknote cassette 13 with a reject storage, and conveyed to the banknote cassettes 12A to 12D via the discrimination unit 10 to be replenished. In the automatic teller machine 1, replenishment of banknotes is performed in this way.
　このように、リジェクト庫付き紙幣カセット１３の紙幣収納庫１３Ａは、複数の用途に利用できるようになっている。 Thus, the banknote storage 13A of the banknote cassette 13 with the reject box can be used for a plurality of purposes.
　またリジェクト庫付き紙幣カセット１３のリジェクト庫１３Ｂは、鑑別部１０によってリジェクト紙幣と判定された紙幣を集積するようになっている。 Further, the reject bank 13B of the banknote cassette 13 with the reject bank is configured to accumulate banknotes determined as reject banknotes by the discrimination unit 10.
　またこの現金自動取引装置１の筐体２内には、全体を制御する制御部（図示せず）が所定箇所に設けられている。 Further, a control unit (not shown) for controlling the whole is provided in a predetermined place in the case 2 of the automatic teller machine 1.
　かかる構成において現金自動取引装置１は、鑑別部１０による紙幣の鑑別結果等をもとに制御部が各部を制御して、紙幣の入金処理及び出金処理を行う。 In such a configuration, in the automatic teller machine 1, the control unit controls each unit based on the banknote discrimination result by the discrimination unit 10, and performs banknote depositing and withdrawal processing.
　すなわち現金自動取引装置１は、入金取引時、ユーザにより操作部６を介して入金取引が選択され、さらに投入口３Ａから入金部３に紙幣が投入されると、投入された紙幣を１枚ずつ鑑別部１０に搬送する。 That is, in the automatic teller machine 1, when a deposit transaction is selected by the user via the operation unit 6 at the time of deposit transaction, and when a bill is inserted into the deposit unit 3 from the insertion slot 3A, the inserted bills are one by one. It is conveyed to the discrimination unit 10.
　ここで現金自動取引装置１は、鑑別部１０により正常紙幣と判定された紙幣については一時保留部１１に搬送して一時的に収納する。一方で現金自動取引装置１は、入金に適さない入金リジェクト紙幣と判定された紙幣については出金部４へ戻して、シャッタを開くことでユーザに返却する。 Here, the automatic teller machine 1 conveys the banknote determined to be a normal banknote by the discrimination unit 10 to the temporary storage unit 11 and temporarily stores it. On the other hand, the automatic teller machine 1 returns the banknote determined to be a deposit reject banknote unsuitable for depositing to the withdrawal unit 4 and returns it to the user by opening the shutter.
　その後ユーザにより入金金額が確定されると、現金自動取引装置１は一時保留部１１に収納している紙幣を鑑別部１０に搬送して金種を鑑別し、その金種に応じて、各紙幣カセット１２Ａ～１２Ｄへ搬送して保管する。 After that, when the deposit amount is confirmed by the user, the automatic teller machine 1 conveys the banknotes stored in the temporary holding unit 11 to the discrimination unit 10 to discriminate denominations, and each banknote according to the denominations. Transport to cassettes 12A-12D and store.
　一方出金取引時、現金自動取引装置１は、ユーザにより操作部６を介し出金取引が選択され出金金額等が入力されると、要求金額に応じて必要な金種毎の紙幣枚数を認識し、この金種毎の紙幣枚数に応じて各紙幣カセット１２Ａ～１２Ｄから紙幣を１枚ずつ繰り出して、鑑別部１０に搬送する。 On the other hand, at the time of withdrawal transaction, when the withdrawal transaction is selected by the user via the operation unit 6 and the withdrawal amount is input by the user, the automatic teller machine 1 calculates the number of banknotes required for each denomination according to the requested amount. The banknotes are fed out from the banknote cassettes 12A to 12D one by one in accordance with the number of banknotes for each denomination and conveyed to the discrimination unit 10.
　ここで現金自動取引装置１は、鑑別部１０により正常紙幣と判定された紙幣については出金部４に搬送する一方で、出金に適さない出金リジェクト紙幣と判定された紙幣については一時保留部１１に搬送して一時的に収納する。 Here, the automatic teller machine 1 transports the banknotes determined to be normal banknotes by the discrimination unit 10 to the withdrawal unit 4, while temporarily holding the banknotes determined to be withdrawal reject banknotes not suitable for withdrawal. It is transported to the section 11 and temporarily stored.
　そして要求金額分の紙幣が出金部４へ集積されると、現金自動取引装置１は、シャッタを開ける。これにより出金部４内に集積されている紙幣の受け取りが可能な状態となり、ユーザがこの紙幣を受け取る。 Then, when bills for the requested amount are accumulated in the withdrawal unit 4, the automatic teller machine 1 opens the shutter. Thereby, it will be in the state which can receive the banknote currently accumulated in the withdrawal part 4, and a user receives this banknote.
　その後現金自動取引装置１は、一時保留部１１に収納している出金リジェクト紙幣をリジェクト庫付き紙幣カセット１３のリジェクト庫１３Ｂへと搬送して保管する。 Then, the automatic teller machine 1 conveys and stores the withdrawal reject banknote stored in the temporary storage unit 11 to the reject bank 13B of the banknote cassette 13 with the reject bank.
　このように現金自動取引装置１は、紙幣の入金処理及び出金処理を行うように構成されている。 Thus, the automatic teller machine 1 is configured to perform a deposit process and a withdrawal process of banknotes.
［１－３．入金部の構成］

Opened and arranged side by side in the left-right direction.
　このピッカローラ２０は、左右方向に延設するローラ軸２１を中心に、図示しないローラ駆動部により図３中の時計回りに回転可能に形成されている。 The picker roller 20 is formed to be rotatable clockwise in FIG. 3 by a roller driving unit (not shown) around a roller shaft 21 extending in the left-right direction.
　このピッカローラ２０Ｒの外周面の一部（およそ半周弱）には、当該外周面の他の箇所よりも摩擦係数が高い、例えばゴムでなる高摩擦材２０ＲＡが埋め込まれている。またピッカローラ２０Ｌの外周面の一部は、当該外周面の他の箇所よりも摩擦係数が高い、高摩擦材２０ＲＡと同様の高摩擦材２０ＬＡが埋め込まれている。以下では高摩擦材２０ＬＡと２０ＲＡとをまとめて高摩擦材２０Ａとも呼ぶ。 A high friction material 20RA made of rubber, for example, having a higher coefficient of friction than other portions of the outer peripheral surface is embedded in a part of the outer peripheral surface of the picker roller 20R (approximately a little less than a half periphery). Further, a part of the outer peripheral surface of the picker roller 20L is embedded with a high friction material 20LA similar to the high friction material 20RA having a higher coefficient of friction than other portions of the outer peripheral surface. Hereinafter, the high friction materials 20LA and 20RA are collectively referred to as a high friction material 20A.
　入金部３は、高摩擦材２０Ａに紙幣を接触させつつピッカローラ２０を回転させることにより、１枚ずつ安定して紙幣を繰り出すことができる。 The depositing unit 3 can stably feed out banknotes one by one by rotating the picker roller 20 while bringing the banknotes into contact with the high friction material 20A.
　収納部３Ｂの底面の後端側には、収納部３Ｂ内に投入された紙幣の取込口３Ｃが設けられている。この取込口３Ｃの下方近傍には、フィードローラ２６とゲートローラ２８とが前後方向に対向配置されている。このフィードローラ２６及びゲートローラ２８は、ピッカローラ２０に同期して時計回りに回転する。 A bill intake port 3C inserted into the storage unit 3B is provided on the rear end side of the bottom surface of the storage unit 3B. A feed roller 26 and a gate roller 28 are disposed opposite to each other in the front-rear direction near the lower portion of the intake port 3C. The feed roller 26 and the gate roller 28 rotate clockwise in synchronization with the picker roller 20.
　さらにフィードローラ２６及びゲートローラ２８の下方近傍には、搬送ローラ３０と搬送ローラ３２とが前後方向に対向配置されている。 Further, in the vicinity of the lower part of the feed roller 26 and the gate roller 28, a transport roller 30 and a transport roller 32 are arranged opposite to each other in the front-rear direction.
　ピッカローラ２０Ｒとピッカローラ２０Ｌとの間（すなわちピッカローラ２０（２０Ｒ及び２０Ｌ）の左右方向の内側）には、当該ピッカローラ２０とほぼ同じ高さにおいて、ピッカローラ２０よりも左右方向の幅がやや狭い板状のピッカシャッタ３４（３４Ｒ及び３４Ｌ）が設けられている。 Between the picker roller 20R and the picker roller 20L (that is, the inner side in the left-right direction of the picker roller 20 (20R and 20L)), the width in the left-right direction is larger than that of the picker roller 20 at substantially the same height as the picker roller 20. A slightly narrow plate-like picker shutter 34 (34R and 34L) is provided.
　ピッカシャッタ３４は、ガイド面２４Ｆに穿設された図示しない孔部から一部が前方へ突出することにより、紙幣プール２５内部に露出している。 The picker shutter 34 is exposed to the inside of the bill pool 25 by partially protruding forward from a hole (not shown) formed in the guide surface 24F.
　またピッカシャッタ３４は、ローラ軸２１を避けるようにえぐれた箇所を有しつつ上下方向に延びた形状となっている。 Further, the picker shutter 34 has a shape extending in the vertical direction while having a hollow portion so as to avoid the roller shaft 21.
　このピッカシャッタ３４は、前面の上部から上面に亘る部分が平面状に切り落とされた切落部３４Ａと、前面の下部から下面に亘る部分が平面状に切り落とされた切落部３４Ｂとを有している。 The picker shutter 34 has a cut-out portion 34A in which a portion extending from the upper portion of the front surface to the upper surface is cut off in a flat shape, and a cut-out portion 34B in which a portion extending from the lower portion of the front surface to the lower surface is cut out in a flat shape. ing.
　またこのピッカシャッタ３４Ｒ及び３４Ｌは、左右方向に延設された図示しない連結部材で連結され一体化されている。 The picker shutters 34R and 34L are connected and integrated by a connecting member (not shown) extending in the left-right direction.
　ピッカシャッタ３４は、上端部付近に設けられたシャッタ軸３５を支点として回動可能に設けられ、図示しないスプリングにより図３中反時計回りに付勢されていると共に、図示しないシャッタ駆動部が接続されており、制御部の制御に基づき回動する。 The picker shutter 34 is rotatably provided with a shutter shaft 35 provided near the upper end as a fulcrum. The picker shutter 34 is urged counterclockwise in FIG. 3 by a spring (not shown) and connected to a shutter drive unit (not shown). It rotates based on the control of the control unit.
　またピッカシャッタ３４とビルプレス２２とは、同一の駆動機構から駆動力が伝達することにより、互いに同期して動く。 Also, the picker shutter 34 and the bill press 22 move in synchronization with each other when the driving force is transmitted from the same driving mechanism.
　入金部３は、ユーザにより紙幣プール２５に紙幣を投入される紙幣取込状態においては、ピッカシャッタ３４を反時計回りに回動させることにより、図５に示すようにピッカシャッタ３４の前端面を、ガイド面２４Ｆに穿設された孔部から前方へ露出させる。 The depositing unit 3 rotates the picker shutter 34 counterclockwise in a bill taking-in state in which bills are inserted into the bill pool 25 by the user, so that the front end surface of the picker shutter 34 is moved as shown in FIG. Then, it is exposed forward from the hole formed in the guide surface 24F.
　一方入金部３は、紙幣プール２５から現金自動取引装置１内部へ紙幣を繰り出す紙幣繰出状態においては、ピッカシャッタ３４を時計回りに回動させることにより、図７に示すようにピッカシャッタ３４の前端面を、ガイド面２４Ｆに穿設された孔部よりも後方へ移動させることにより、プールガイド２４内部へピッカシャッタ３４を退避させる。 On the other hand, the depositing unit 3 rotates the picker shutter 34 clockwise in the bill feeding state in which bills are fed from the bill pool 25 to the inside of the automatic teller machine 1, thereby rotating the front end of the picker shutter 34 as shown in FIG. 7. The picker shutter 34 is retracted into the pool guide 24 by moving the surface rearward from the hole formed in the guide surface 24F.
　ところで紙幣取込状態においては、図４に示すように、切落部２４Ｒの前端部とピッカシャッタ３４Ｒの前端部の右端とを結んだ紙幣接触限界線Ｌ１よりも後方にピッカローラ２０Ｒが位置し、切落部２４Ｌの前端部とピッカシャッタ３４Ｌの前端部の左端とを結んだ紙幣接触限界線Ｌ２よりも後方にピッカローラ２０Ｌが位置している。 By the way, in the banknote taking-in state, as shown in FIG. 4, the picker roller 20R is positioned behind the banknote contact limit line L1 connecting the front end of the cut-off portion 24R and the right end of the front end of the picker shutter 34R. The picker roller 20L is located behind the bill contact limit line L2 connecting the front end portion of the cut-off portion 24L and the left end of the front end portion of the picker shutter 34L.
　すなわちピッカローラ２０Ｒは、紙幣プール２５に対し紙幣接触限界線Ｌ１よりも後方に収まっており、ピッカローラ２０Ｌは、紙幣プール２５に対し紙幣接触限界線Ｌ２よりも後方に収まっている。 That is, the picker roller 20R is located behind the bill contact limit line L1 with respect to the bill pool 25, and the picker roller 20L is located behind the bill contact limit line L2 with respect to the bill pool 25.
　紙幣プール２５に紙幣が左右方向に沿わずに傾いて（図４における時計回り又は反時計回りに回転して）投入されると、紙幣が反時計回りに最も傾いた場合は紙幣接触限界線Ｌ１に沿う一方、時計回りに最も傾いた場合は紙幣接触限界線Ｌ２に沿う状態となる。 When the banknote is inserted into the banknote pool 25 without tilting in the left-right direction (by rotating clockwise or counterclockwise in FIG. 4), when the banknote is tilted most counterclockwise, the banknote contact limit line L1 On the other hand, when it is most inclined clockwise, it will be in the state which follows the bill contact limit line L2.
　これにより入金部３は、左右方向に沿わずに紙幣が投入された場合であっても、当該紙幣を高摩擦材２０Ａに接触させないようにすることができる。 Thus, the depositing unit 3 can prevent the banknote from coming into contact with the high friction material 20A even when the banknote is inserted without being along the left-right direction.
［１－４．動作及び効果］
　以上の構成において入金部３は、紙幣取込状態においてはビルプレス２２を前方へ移動させることにより、投入口３Ａの前後幅を広げる。 [1-4. Operation and effect]
In the above configuration, the depositing unit 3 widens the front-rear width of the insertion port 3A by moving the bill press 22 forward in the banknote taking-in state.
　このとき入金部３は、ビルプレス２２の動きに同期させてピッカシャッタ３４を反時計回りに回動させることにより、ガイド面２４Ｆからピッカシャッタ３４を紙幣プール２５内部に向かって突出させ、ピッカローラ２０の前端部よりも前方に位置させる。 At this time, the depositing unit 3 rotates the picker shutter 34 counterclockwise in synchronization with the movement of the bill press 22, thereby causing the picker shutter 34 to protrude from the guide surface 24 </ b> F toward the inside of the bill pool 25. The front end of 20 is positioned forward.
　この状態において、ピッカローラ２０はピッカシャッタ３４の後方に位置しているため、図５に示すように紙幣ＢＬがピッカローラ２０近傍に投入されたとしても当該紙幣ＢＬが高摩擦材２０Ａと接触することはなく、図６に示すようにピッカシャッタ３４に接触しながら紙幣プール２５に集積される。 In this state, since the picker roller 20 is located behind the picker shutter 34, even if the bill BL is inserted in the vicinity of the picker roller 20 as shown in FIG. 5, the bill BL is in contact with the high friction material 20A. Instead, as shown in FIG. 6, the bill is accumulated in the bill pool 25 while being in contact with the picker shutter 34.
　紙幣ＢＬが投入されたことを図示しないセンサにより検知すると、入金部３は、ビルプレス２２をプールガイド２４に向けて後方へ移動させることにより紙幣繰出状態へ移行させる。このとき入金部３は、ビルプレス２２の動きに同期させてピッカシャッタ３４を時計回りに回動させガイド面２４Ｆの奥に退避させることにより、ピッカローラ２０の前端部よりも後方に位置させる。 When it is detected by a sensor (not shown) that the bill BL has been inserted, the depositing unit 3 moves the bill press 22 backward toward the pool guide 24 to shift to the bill feeding state. At this time, the depositing unit 3 is positioned behind the front end of the picker roller 20 by rotating the picker shutter 34 clockwise in synchronism with the movement of the bill press 22 and retracting it to the back of the guide surface 24F.
　これによりピッカローラ２０の高摩擦材２０Ａはピッカシャッタ３４よりも前方へ突出した状態となる。 This causes the high friction material 20A of the picker roller 20 to protrude forward from the picker shutter 34.
　入金部３は、図７に示すようにビルプレス２２により紙幣ＢＬをプールガイド２４に押し付け、ピッカローラ２０の高摩擦材２０Ａに圧接させた状態でピッカローラ２０を回転させる。 As shown in FIG. 7, the depositing unit 3 presses the bill BL against the pool guide 24 by the bill press 22 and rotates the picker roller 20 in a state of being pressed against the high friction material 20 </ b> A of the picker roller 20.
　ピッカローラ２０に押し付けられた紙幣ＢＬは、ピッカローラ２０の回転により１枚ずつ分離させられて下方の取込口３Ｃへと繰り出され、さらにフィードローラ２６とゲートローラ２８とにより取込口３Ｃから送り出され、搬送ローラ３０及び３２により現金自動取引装置１の内部へと取り込まれていく。 The bills BL pressed against the picker roller 20 are separated one by one by the rotation of the picker roller 20 and fed out to the lower intake port 3C, and further from the intake port 3C by the feed roller 26 and the gate roller 28. It is sent out and taken into the cash automatic transaction apparatus 1 by the transport rollers 30 and 32.
　全ての紙幣ＢＬの取り込みが完了すると、入金部３は、ビルプレス２２及びピッカシャッタ３４を前方にスライドさせて紙幣取込状態に戻し、次に投入される紙幣ＢＬに備える。 When all the bills BL have been taken in, the depositing unit 3 slides the bill press 22 and the picker shutter 34 forward to return to the bill taking-in state, and prepares for the bill BL to be inserted next.
　このように入金部３は、紙幣取込状態においてはピッカシャッタ３４をピッカローラ２０よりも前方へ突出させることにより、紙幣ＢＬに接触しないようにピッカローラ２０を退避させると共に、紙幣繰出状態においてはピッカシャッタ３４をピッカローラ２０よりも後方へ移動させることにより、ピッカローラ２０をガイド面２４Ｆよりも前方へ露出させ、紙幣ＢＬに当接し得るようにした。 In this way, the depositing unit 3 causes the picker shutter 34 to protrude forward from the picker roller 20 in the bill taking-in state, thereby retracting the picker roller 20 so as not to contact the bill BL, and in the bill feeding state. By moving the picker shutter 34 to the rear of the picker roller 20, the picker roller 20 is exposed to the front of the guide surface 24F so that it can come into contact with the bill BL.
　このように入金部３は、紙幣取込状態において高摩擦材２０Ａが紙幣ＢＬに接触することを防ぐことにより、紙幣ＢＬが高摩擦材２０Ａに引っ掛かり浮いた状態で投入されることや、めくれて折れることを防止できる。 In this way, the depositing unit 3 prevents the high friction material 20A from coming into contact with the banknote BL in the banknote taking-in state, so that the banknote BL is inserted into the high friction material 20A and floated, or turned up. It can be prevented from breaking.
　また入金部３は、紙幣繰出状態においては、紙幣ＢＬの側面に高摩擦材２０Ａが接触し得る状態としたことにより、紙幣繰出状態における紙幣ＢＬの繰出機能は保ちつつ、紙幣取込状態における紙幣の変形を防ぐことができる。 Moreover, the money_receiving | payment part 3 was made into the state which can contact the high friction material 20A in the side surface of the banknote BL in the banknote delivery state, Therefore The banknote in a banknote taking-in state is maintained, maintaining the delivery function of the banknote BL in a banknote delivery state. Can prevent deformation.
　さらに入金部３は、ピッカシャッタ３４に切落部３４Ａを形成するようにした。これにより、ピッカシャッタ３４がガイド面２４Ｆより前方に突出していても、切落部３４Ａに紙幣ＢＬの下端が接触しながら滑り落ちることで、ピッカシャッタ３４に引っ掛かってしまうことを防止できる。 Furthermore, the depositing unit 3 is configured to form a cut-out portion 34A in the picker shutter 34. Accordingly, even if the picker shutter 34 protrudes forward from the guide surface 24F, the picker shutter 34 can be prevented from being caught by sliding down while the lower end of the bill BL is in contact with the cut-off portion 34A.
　また入金部３は、紙幣繰出状態において、ピッカローラ２０の高摩擦材２０Ａを前方に位置するように当該ピッカローラ２０の回転を制御することより、当該高摩擦材２０Ａに紙幣ＢＬを接触させるようにした。 In addition, the depositing unit 3 controls the rotation of the picker roller 20 so that the high friction material 20A of the picker roller 20 is positioned forward in the bill feeding state so that the bill BL is brought into contact with the high friction material 20A. I made it.
　ここで仮に、紙幣繰出状態においてピッカローラ２０の高摩擦材２０Ａを後方に位置するように当該ピッカローラ２０の回転を制御することにより、当該高摩擦材２０Ａに紙幣ＢＬを接触させないようにすることが考えられる。 Here, suppose that the bill BL is not brought into contact with the high friction material 20A by controlling the rotation of the picker roller 20 so that the high friction material 20A of the picker roller 20 is located rearward in the bill feeding state. Can be considered.
　しかしながらその場合、ピッカローラ２０と共に回転するフィードローラ２６の回転により１枚の紙幣ＢＬが繰り出された後にピッカローラ２０の高摩擦材２０Ａが次の紙幣ＢＬを繰り出してしまい、２枚以上の紙幣ＢＬをまとめて繰り出す重送が発生してしまう可能性がある。 However, in that case, the high friction material 20A of the picker roller 20 pays out the next bill BL after the one bill BL is paid out by the rotation of the feed roller 26 that rotates together with the picker roller 20, so that two or more bills BL. There is a possibility that double feed will be generated.
　これに対し入金部３においては、紙幣繰出状態において、ピッカローラ２０の高摩擦材２０Ａに紙幣ＢＬを接触させるようにしたことにより、１枚ずつ安定して紙幣ＢＬを繰り出すことができる。 On the other hand, in the deposit part 3, the banknote BL can be stably fed out one by one by making the banknote BL contact the high friction material 20A of the picker roller 20 in the banknote feeding state.
　またそのような入金部３において、紙幣取込状態においては高摩擦材２０Ａに紙幣ＢＬが接触しないようにしたことにより、入金部３は、安定的に紙幣ＢＬを繰り出しつつ、紙幣ＢＬの変形を防ぐことができる。 Moreover, in such a money_receiving | payment part 3, in the banknote taking-in state, since the banknote BL did not contact 20A of high friction materials, the money_receiving | payment part 3 deform | transforms the banknote BL, paying out banknote BL stably. Can be prevented.
　以上の構成によれば、入金部３には、投入口３Ａを介し投入された紙幣ＢＬを収容する紙幣プール２５と、外周面の一部において当該外周面の他の箇所より高い摩擦係数を有する高摩擦材２０Ａが形成され、集積された紙幣ＢＬの側面に接し高摩擦材２０Ａを接触させ回転することにより紙幣ＢＬを紙幣プール２５から繰り出すピッカローラ２０と、紙幣取込状態においてピッカローラ２０の外周面よりも紙幣プール２５内部に向かって突出し、紙幣繰出状態においてピッカローラ２０の外周面よりも紙幣プール２５外側に向かって移動することにより、ピッカローラ２０の外周面を紙幣プール２５内部に露出させるピッカシャッタ３４と、が設けられ、紙幣ＢＬが紙幣プール２５に投入される際、高摩擦材２０Ａを当該紙幣ＢＬに接触しない位置に配置するようにした。 According to the above configuration, the depositing unit 3 has a higher coefficient of friction than the banknote pool 25 for storing the banknote BL inserted through the insertion port 3A and the other part of the outer peripheral surface in a part of the outer peripheral surface. The high friction material 20A is formed, and the picker roller 20 that pays out the bill BL from the bill pool 25 by contacting and rotating the high friction material 20A in contact with the side surface of the accumulated bill BL, and the picker roller 20 in the bill taking-in state. The outer peripheral surface of the picker roller 20 is exposed to the inside of the bill pool 25 by protruding toward the inside of the bill pool 25 from the outer peripheral surface and moving toward the outside of the bill pool 25 from the outer peripheral surface of the picker roller 20 in the bill feeding state. When the bill BL is inserted into the bill pool 25, the high friction material 20A is brought into contact with the bill BL. And it is arranged to have a position.
　これにより入金部３では、紙幣ＢＬが紙幣プール２５に投入される際、ピッカローラ２０の高摩擦材２０Ａに紙幣ＢＬが接触して変形してしまうことを防ぐことができる。 Thus, the depositing unit 3 can prevent the bill BL from coming into contact with the high friction material 20A of the picker roller 20 and deforming when the bill BL is inserted into the bill pool 25.
［２．第２の実施の形態］
　図２に示す第２の実施の形態による現金自動取引装置１は、第１の実施の形態による現金自動取引装置１と比較して、入金部１０３が入金部３と異なっているものの、それ以外は同様に構成されている。 [2. Second Embodiment]
The automatic teller machine 1 according to the second embodiment shown in FIG. 2 is different from the automatic teller machine 1 according to the first embodiment in that the depositing unit 103 is different from the depositing unit 3, but otherwise. Are structured similarly.
　また第２の実施の形態による入金部１０３は、図３との対応部分に同一符号を付した図８に示すように、第１の実施の形態による入金部３と比較して、ピッカシャッタ３４が省略されている。 Further, the depositing unit 103 according to the second embodiment has a picker shutter 34 as compared with the depositing unit 3 according to the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. Is omitted.
　ピッカローラ１２０は、図示しないローラ駆動部により、ガイド面２４Ｆから高摩擦材１２０Ａが紙幣プール２５内部に突出する位置から、ガイド面２４Ｆから高摩擦材１２０Ａが紙幣プール２５外側（プールガイド２４内側）へ退避する位置まで、前後方向に移動可能に構成されている。 The picker roller 120 has a high friction material 120A from the guide surface 24F to the outside of the bill pool 25 (inside the pool guide 24) from a position where the high friction material 120A protrudes from the guide surface 24F into the bill pool 25 by a roller driving unit (not shown). It is configured to be movable in the front-rear direction to the position where it is retracted.
　またビルプレス２２とピッカローラ１２０とは、同一の駆動機構から駆動力が伝達することにより、互いに同期して動く。 In addition, the bill press 22 and the picker roller 120 move in synchronization with each other when the driving force is transmitted from the same driving mechanism.
　以上の構成において入金部１０３は、紙幣取込状態においてはビルプレス２２を前方へ移動させることにより、投入口１０３Ａの前後幅を広げる。 In the above configuration, the depositing unit 103 widens the front-rear width of the insertion port 103A by moving the bill press 22 forward in the banknote taking-in state.
　このとき入金部１０３は、ビルプレス２２の動きに同期させてピッカローラ１２０を後方へ移動させることにより、ガイド面２４Ｆの後方へピッカローラ１２０を退避させる。 At this time, the depositing unit 103 moves the picker roller 120 backward in synchronization with the movement of the bill press 22, thereby retracting the picker roller 120 to the rear of the guide surface 24F.
　このため、図８に示すように紙幣ＢＬがピッカローラ１２０近傍に投入されたとしても当該紙幣ＢＬが高摩擦材１２０Ａと接触することはなく、ガイド面２４Ｆに接触しながら紙幣プール２５に集積される。 For this reason, as shown in FIG. 8, even if the bill BL is inserted in the vicinity of the picker roller 120, the bill BL does not come into contact with the high friction material 120A and is accumulated in the bill pool 25 while being in contact with the guide surface 24F. The
　紙幣ＢＬが投入されたことを図示しないセンサにより検知すると、入金部１０３は、ビルプレス２２をプールガイド２４に向けて後方へ移動させることにより紙幣繰出状態へ移行させる。このとき入金部１０３は、ビルプレス２２の動きに同期させてピッカローラ１２０を前方へ移動させることにより、ガイド面２４Ｆから前方へ突出させる。 When it is detected by a sensor (not shown) that the bill BL has been inserted, the depositing unit 103 shifts the bill press 22 toward the pool guide 24 to shift to the bill feeding state. At this time, the depositing unit 103 projects the picker roller 120 forward from the guide surface 24F by moving the picker roller 120 forward in synchronization with the movement of the bill press 22.
　これによりピッカローラ１２０の高摩擦材１２０Ａはガイド面２４Ｆよりも前方へ突出した状態となる。 This causes the high friction material 120A of the picker roller 120 to protrude forward from the guide surface 24F.
　入金部１０３は、図９に示すようにビルプレス２２により紙幣ＢＬをプールガイド２４に押し付け、ピッカローラ１２０の高摩擦材１２０Ａに圧接させた状態でピッカローラ１２０を回転させる。 As shown in FIG. 9, the depositing unit 103 presses the bill BL against the pool guide 24 by the bill press 22 and rotates the picker roller 120 in a state of being pressed against the high friction material 120 </ b> A of the picker roller 120.
　ピッカローラ１２０に押し付けられた紙幣ＢＬは、ピッカローラ１２０の回転により１枚ずつ分離させられて下方の取込口１０３Ｃへと繰り出され、さらにフィードローラ２６とゲートローラ２８とにより取込口１０３Ｃから送り出され、搬送ローラ３０及び３２により現金自動取引装置１の内部へと取り込まれていく。 The bills BL pressed against the picker roller 120 are separated one by one by the rotation of the picker roller 120 and fed out to the lower intake port 103C, and are further fed from the intake port 103C by the feed roller 26 and the gate roller 28. It is sent out and taken into the cash automatic transaction apparatus 1 by the transport rollers 30 and 32.
　このように入金部１０３は、紙幣取込状態においてはピッカローラ１２０をガイド面２４Ｆよりも後方へ退避させることにより紙幣ＢＬに接触しないようにすると共に、紙幣繰出状態においてはピッカローラ１２０をガイド面２４Ｆよりも前方へ露出させることにより紙幣ＢＬに当接し得るようにした。 In this manner, the depositing unit 103 prevents the picker roller 120 from coming into contact with the bill BL by retracting the picker roller 120 rearward from the guide surface 24F in the bill taking-in state, and the picker roller 120 in the bill feeding state. It was made to contact | abut to the banknote BL by exposing ahead rather than 24F.
　このように入金部１０３では、紙幣取込状態において高摩擦材１２０Ａが紙幣ＢＬに接触することを防ぐことにより、紙幣ＢＬが高摩擦材１２０Ａに引っ掛かり浮いた状態で投入されることや、めくれて折れることを防止できる。 As described above, in the depositing unit 103, the banknote BL is caught in the high-friction material 120A and turned up or turned up by preventing the high-friction material 120A from coming into contact with the banknote BL in the banknote taking-in state. It can be prevented from breaking.
　また入金部１０３は、入金部３と比べてピッカシャッタ３４を省略できるため、簡易な構成とすることができる。 Further, since the depositing unit 103 can omit the picker shutter 34 as compared with the depositing unit 3, the depositing unit 103 can have a simple configuration.
　以上の構成によれば、入金部１０３には、投入口１０３Ａを介し投入された紙幣ＢＬを収容する紙幣プール２５と、外周面の一部において当該外周面の他の箇所より高い摩擦係数を有する高摩擦材１２０Ａが形成され、紙幣取込状態において、外周面がガイド面２４Ｆよりも紙幣プール２５の外側に位置するよう退避し、紙幣繰出状態において、外周面がガイド面２４Ｆよりも紙幣プール２５の内側に位置するようビルプレス２２の移動に合わせて移動し、集積された紙幣ＢＬの側面に接し高摩擦材１２０Ａを接触させ回転することにより紙幣ＢＬを紙幣プール２５から繰り出すピッカローラ１２０と、を設けるようにした。 According to the above configuration, the depositing unit 103 has a higher coefficient of friction than the banknote pool 25 that stores the banknote BL inserted through the insertion port 103A and the other part of the outer peripheral surface in a part of the outer peripheral surface. The high friction material 120A is formed, and in the banknote taking-in state, the outer peripheral surface is retracted so as to be positioned outside the banknote pool 25 with respect to the guide surface 24F, and in the banknote feeding state, the outer peripheral surface is in the banknote pool 25 with respect to the guide surface 24F. A picker roller 120 that moves in accordance with the movement of the bill press 22 so as to be located inside, picks up the bill BL from the bill pool 25 by contacting and rotating the high friction material 120A in contact with the side of the accumulated bill BL, It was made to provide.
　これにより入金部１０３では、紙幣ＢＬが紙幣プール２５に投入される際、ピッカローラ１２０の高摩擦材１２０Ａに紙幣ＢＬが接触して変形してしまうことを防ぐことができる。 Thus, the depositing unit 103 can prevent the bill BL from coming into contact with the high friction material 120 </ b> A of the picker roller 120 and deforming when the bill BL is inserted into the bill pool 25.
［３．第３の実施の形態］
　図２に示す第３の実施の形態による現金自動取引装置１は、第１の実施の形態による現金自動取引装置１と比較して、入金部２０３が入金部３と異なっているものの、それ以外は同様に構成されている。 [3. Third Embodiment]
The automatic teller machine 1 according to the third embodiment shown in FIG. 2 is different from the automatic teller machine 1 according to the first embodiment in that the depositing unit 203 is different from the depositing unit 3, but otherwise. Are structured similarly.
　また第３の実施の形態による入金部２０３は、図３との対応部分に同一符号を付した図１０に示すように、第１の実施の形態による入金部３と比較して、ピッカシャッタ３４が省略されている。 Further, the depositing unit 203 according to the third embodiment has a picker shutter 34 as compared with the depositing unit 3 according to the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. Is omitted.
　プールガイド２２４は、図示しないガイド駆動部により、ガイド面２２４Ｆから高摩擦材２０Ａが紙幣プール２５内部に突出する位置から、ガイド面２２４Ｆから高摩擦材２０Ａが紙幣プール２５外側へ退避する位置まで、前後方向に移動可能に構成されている。 The pool guide 224 is moved from a position where the high friction material 20A protrudes from the guide surface 224F into the bill pool 25 by a guide drive unit (not shown) to a position where the high friction material 20A retracts from the guide surface 224F to the outside of the bill pool 25. It is configured to be movable in the front-rear direction.
　またプールガイド２２４とビルプレス２２とは、同一の駆動機構から駆動力が伝達することにより、互いに同期して動く。 In addition, the pool guide 224 and the bill press 22 move in synchronization with each other when the driving force is transmitted from the same driving mechanism.
　以上の構成において入金部２０３は、紙幣取込状態においてはビルプレス２２を前方へ移動させることにより、投入口２０３Ａの前後幅を広げる。 In the above configuration, the depositing unit 203 widens the front-rear width of the insertion port 203A by moving the bill press 22 forward in the banknote taking-in state.
　このとき入金部２０３は、ビルプレス２２の動きに同期させてプールガイド２２４をピッカローラ２０よりも前方へ移動させることにより、ガイド面２２４Ｆの後方へピッカローラ２０を退避させる。 At this time, the depositing unit 203 moves the pool guide 224 forward of the picker roller 20 in synchronization with the movement of the bill press 22, thereby retracting the picker roller 20 to the rear of the guide surface 224F.
　このため、図１０に示すように紙幣ＢＬがピッカローラ２０近傍に投入されたとしても当該紙幣ＢＬが高摩擦材２０Ａと接触することはなく、ガイド面２２４Ｆに接触しながら紙幣プール２５に集積される。 For this reason, as shown in FIG. 10, even if the bill BL is inserted in the vicinity of the picker roller 20, the bill BL does not come into contact with the high friction material 20A and is accumulated in the bill pool 25 while being in contact with the guide surface 224F. The
　紙幣ＢＬが投入されたことを図示しないセンサにより検知すると、入金部２０３は、ビルプレス２２をプールガイド２２４に向けて後方へ移動させることにより紙幣繰出状態へ移行させる。このとき入金部２０３は、ビルプレス２２の動きに同期させてプールガイド２２４を後方へ移動させることにより、ピッカローラ２０の高摩擦材２０Ａをガイド面２２４Ｆよりも前方へ突出させる。 When it is detected by a sensor (not shown) that the bill BL has been inserted, the depositing unit 203 shifts the bill press 22 toward the pool guide 224 to shift to the bill feeding state. At this time, the depositing unit 203 causes the high friction material 20A of the picker roller 20 to protrude forward from the guide surface 224F by moving the pool guide 224 rearward in synchronization with the movement of the bill press 22.
　入金部２０３は、図１１に示すようにビルプレス２２により紙幣ＢＬをプールガイド２２４に押し付け、ピッカローラ２０の高摩擦材２０Ａに圧接させた状態でピッカローラ２０を回転させる。 As shown in FIG. 11, the depositing unit 203 presses the bill BL against the pool guide 224 by the bill press 22 and rotates the picker roller 20 in a state of being pressed against the high friction material 20 </ b> A of the picker roller 20.
　ピッカローラ２０に押し付けられた紙幣ＢＬは、ピッカローラ２０の回転により１枚ずつ分離させられて下方の取込口２０３Ｃへと繰り出され、さらにフィードローラ２６とゲートローラ２８とにより取込口２０３Ｃから送り出され、搬送ローラ３０及び３２により現金自動取引装置１の内部へと取り込まれていく。 The bills BL pressed against the picker roller 20 are separated one by one by the rotation of the picker roller 20 and fed out to the lower intake port 203C. Further, the feed roller 26 and the gate roller 28 are used to remove the bill BL from the intake port 203C. It is sent out and taken into the cash automatic transaction apparatus 1 by the transport rollers 30 and 32.
　このように入金部２０３では、紙幣取込状態においてはプールガイド２２４をピッカローラ２０よりも前方へ移動させ当該ピッカローラ２０をガイド面２２４Ｆよりも後方へ退避させることにより紙幣ＢＬに接触しないようにすると共に、紙幣繰出状態においてはプールガイド２２４をピッカローラ２０よりも後方へ移動させ当該ピッカローラ２０をガイド面２２４Ｆよりも前方へ露出させることにより紙幣ＢＬに当接し得るようにした。 As described above, in the depositing unit 203, in the bill taking-in state, the pool guide 224 is moved further forward than the picker roller 20, and the picker roller 20 is retracted rearward from the guide surface 224F so as not to contact the bill BL. In addition, in the bill feeding state, the pool guide 224 is moved rearward from the picker roller 20, and the picker roller 20 is exposed forward from the guide surface 224F so as to be able to contact the bill BL.
　このように入金部２０３では、紙幣取込状態において高摩擦材２０Ａが紙幣ＢＬに接触することを防ぐことにより、紙幣ＢＬが高摩擦材２０Ａに引っ掛かり浮いた状態で投入されることや、めくれて折れることを防止できる。 In this manner, the depositing unit 203 prevents the high friction material 20A from coming into contact with the banknote BL in the banknote taking-in state, so that the banknote BL is inserted into the high friction material 20A in a floating state or turned up. It can be prevented from breaking.
　また入金部２０３は、入金部３と比べてピッカシャッタ３４を省略できるため、簡易な構成とすることができる。 Further, since the depositing unit 203 can omit the picker shutter 34 as compared with the depositing unit 3, the depositing unit 203 can have a simple configuration.
　以上の構成によれば、入金部２０３には、投入口２０３Ａを介し投入された紙幣ＢＬを収容する紙幣プール２５と、外周面の一部において当該外周面の他の箇所より高い摩擦係数を有する高摩擦材２０Ａが形成され、集積された紙幣ＢＬの側面に接し高摩擦材２０Ａを接触させ回転することにより紙幣ＢＬを紙幣プール２５から繰り出すピッカローラ２０と、紙幣取込状態において、ガイド面２２４Ｆがピッカローラ２０の外周面よりも紙幣プール２５の内側に位置するよう移動し、紙幣繰出状態において、ガイド面２２４Ｆがピッカローラ２０の外周面よりも紙幣プール２５の外側に位置しピッカローラ２０を紙幣プール２５内部に出現させるようビルプレス２２の移動に合わせて移動するプールガイド２４とを設けるようにした。 According to the above configuration, the depositing unit 203 has a higher coefficient of friction than the banknote pool 25 that stores the banknote BL inserted through the insertion port 203A and the other part of the outer peripheral surface in a part of the outer peripheral surface. The picker roller 20 that feeds out the banknote BL from the banknote pool 25 by contacting and rotating the high friction material 20A in contact with the side surface of the stacked banknote BL, and the guide surface 224F in the banknote taking-in state. Moves so as to be positioned inside the bill pool 25 from the outer peripheral surface of the picker roller 20, and in the bill feeding state, the guide surface 224F is positioned outside the bill pool 25 from the outer peripheral surface of the picker roller 20, and the picker roller 20 is moved. A pool guide 24 that moves in accordance with the movement of the bill press 22 so as to appear inside the bill pool 25 is provided.
　これにより入金部２０３では、紙幣ＢＬが紙幣プール２５に投入される際、ピッカローラ２０の高摩擦材２０Ａに紙幣ＢＬが接触して変形してしまうことを防ぐことができる。 Thus, the depositing unit 203 can prevent the bill BL from coming into contact with the high friction material 20A of the picker roller 20 and deforming when the bill BL is inserted into the bill pool 25.
［４．第４の実施の形態］
　図２に示す第４の実施の形態による現金自動取引装置１は、第１の実施の形態による現金自動取引装置１と比較して、入金部３０３が入金部３と異なっているものの、それ以外は同様に構成されている。 [4. Fourth Embodiment]
The automatic teller machine 1 according to the fourth embodiment shown in FIG. 2 is different from the automatic teller machine 1 according to the first embodiment in that the depositing unit 303 is different from the depositing unit 3, but otherwise. Are structured similarly.
　また第４の実施の形態による入金部３０３は、図３との対応部分に同一符号を付した図１２に示すように、第１の実施の形態による入金部３と比較して、ピッカシャッタ３４が省略されている。 Further, the depositing unit 303 according to the fourth embodiment has a picker shutter 34 as compared with the depositing unit 3 according to the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. Is omitted.
　入金部３０３は、高摩擦材３２０Ａの位置を常に把握しながら図示しないローラ駆動部によりピッカローラ３２０を回転駆動する。 The depositing unit 303 rotationally drives the picker roller 320 by a roller driving unit (not shown) while constantly grasping the position of the high friction material 320A.
　以上の構成において入金部３０３は、紙幣取込状態においてはビルプレス２２を前方へ移動させることにより、投入口３０３Ａの前後幅を広げる。 In the above configuration, the depositing unit 303 widens the front-rear width of the insertion port 303 </ b> A by moving the bill press 22 forward in the banknote taking-in state.
　このとき入金部３０３は、ビルプレス２２の動きに同期させてピッカローラ３２０を回転させ、高摩擦材３２０Ａをガイド面２４Ｆよりも後方へ位置させることにより、当該高摩擦材３２０Ａをガイド面２４Ｆの奥へ退避させる。 At this time, the depositing unit 303 rotates the picker roller 320 in synchronization with the movement of the bill press 22 to position the high friction material 320A rearward of the guide surface 24F, thereby bringing the high friction material 320A into the guide surface 24F. Retreat to the back.
　このため、図１２に示すように紙幣ＢＬがピッカローラ３２０近傍に投入されたとしても当該紙幣ＢＬが高摩擦材３２０Ａと接触することはなく、ピッカローラ３２０の外周面における高摩擦材３２０Ａが形成されていない箇所とガイド面２４Ｆとに接触しながら紙幣プール２５に集積される。 For this reason, as shown in FIG. 12, even if the bill BL is inserted in the vicinity of the picker roller 320, the bill BL does not come into contact with the high friction material 320A, and the high friction material 320A on the outer peripheral surface of the picker roller 320 is formed. The bills are accumulated in the bill pool 25 while being in contact with the portions that are not formed and the guide surface 24F.
　紙幣ＢＬが投入されたことを図示しないセンサにより検知すると、入金部３０３は、ビルプレス２２をプールガイド２４に向けて後方へ移動させることにより紙幣繰出状態へ移行させる。このとき入金部３０３は、ビルプレス２２の動きに同期させてピッカローラ３２０を回転させ、高摩擦材３２０Ａをガイド面２４Ｆの前方へ露出させる。 When it is detected by a sensor (not shown) that the bill BL has been inserted, the depositing unit 303 shifts the bill press 22 toward the pool guide 24 to shift to the bill feeding state. At this time, the depositing unit 303 rotates the picker roller 320 in synchronization with the movement of the bill press 22, and exposes the high friction material 320A to the front of the guide surface 24F.
　入金部３０３は、図１３に示すようにビルプレス２２により紙幣ＢＬをプールガイド２４に押し付け、ピッカローラ３２０の外周面における高摩擦材３２０Ａが形成されていない箇所に圧接させた状態でピッカローラ３２０を回転させる。 As shown in FIG. 13, the depositing unit 303 presses the bill BL against the pool guide 24 by the bill press 22, and presses the bill BL in a position where the high friction material 320 </ b> A is not formed on the outer peripheral surface of the picker roller 320. Rotate.
　ピッカローラ３２０に押し付けられた紙幣ＢＬは、ピッカローラ３２０が回転することにより高摩擦材３２０Ａと接触し、１枚ずつ分離させられて下方の取込口３０３Ｃへと繰り出され、さらにフィードローラ２６とゲートローラ２８とにより取込口３０３Ｃから送り出され、搬送ローラ３０及び３２により現金自動取引装置１の内部へと取り込まれていく。 The bills BL pressed against the picker roller 320 come into contact with the high friction material 320A as the picker roller 320 rotates, are separated one by one and fed out to the lower intake port 303C. It is sent out from the take-in port 303 </ b> C by the gate roller 28 and taken into the automatic cash transaction apparatus 1 by the transport rollers 30 and 32.
　このように入金部３０３では、紙幣取込状態においては高摩擦材３２０Ａを回転移動させガイド面２４Ｆよりも後方へ退避させることにより紙幣ＢＬに接触しないようにすると共に、紙幣繰出状態においては高摩擦材３２０Ａを回転移動させガイド面２４Ｆよりも前方へ露出させることにより紙幣ＢＬに当接し得るようにした。 As described above, in the depositing unit 303, the high friction material 320A is rotated and moved backward from the guide surface 24F in the banknote taking-in state so as not to come into contact with the banknote BL, and in the banknote feeding state, the high-friction material is used. The material 320A is rotated and moved so as to be exposed forward from the guide surface 24F so that it can come into contact with the bill BL.
　このように入金部３０３では、紙幣取込状態において高摩擦材３２０Ａが紙幣ＢＬに接触することを防ぐことにより、紙幣ＢＬが高摩擦材３２０Ａに引っ掛かり浮いた状態で投入されることや、めくれて折れることを防止できる。 In this manner, the depositing unit 303 prevents the high friction material 320A from coming into contact with the banknote BL in the banknote taking-in state, so that the banknote BL is inserted into the high friction material 320A and floated, or turned up. It can be prevented from breaking.
　また入金部３０３は、入金部３と比べてピッカシャッタ３４を省略できるため、簡易な構成とすることができる。 Further, since the depositing unit 303 can omit the picker shutter 34 as compared with the depositing unit 3, the depositing unit 303 can have a simple configuration.
　以上の構成によれば、入金部３０３には、投入口３０３Ａを介し投入された紙幣ＢＬを収容する紙幣プール２５と、外周面の一部において当該外周面の他の箇所より高い摩擦係数を有する高摩擦材３２０Ａが形成され、紙幣取込状態において高摩擦材３２０Ａが紙幣プール２５の外側に位置するよう回転制御され、紙幣繰出状態において、集積された紙幣ＢＬの側面に接し高摩擦材３２０Ａを接触させ回転することにより紙幣ＢＬを紙幣プール２５から繰り出すピッカローラ３２０とを設けるようにした。 According to the above configuration, the depositing unit 303 has a banknote pool 25 that stores the bills BL inserted through the insertion port 303A, and a higher coefficient of friction than other portions of the outer peripheral surface in a part of the outer peripheral surface. The high friction material 320A is formed, and the high friction material 320A is rotationally controlled so as to be positioned outside the banknote pool 25 in the banknote taking-in state. In the banknote feeding state, the high friction material 320A is in contact with the side surface of the stacked banknotes BL. The picker roller 320 which feeds out the banknote BL from the banknote pool 25 by contacting and rotating is provided.
　これにより入金部３０３では、紙幣ＢＬが紙幣プール２５に投入される際、ピッカローラ３２０の高摩擦材３２０Ａに紙幣ＢＬが接触して当該紙幣ＢＬが変形してしまうことを防ぐことができる。 Thus, in the depositing unit 303, when the bill BL is inserted into the bill pool 25, it is possible to prevent the bill BL from being deformed due to the bill BL coming into contact with the high friction material 320A of the picker roller 320.
［５．他の実施の形態］
　なお上述した実施の形態においては、紙幣ＢＬを投入する際に高摩擦材２０Ａをプールガイド２４の内側に退避させる場合について述べた。本発明はこれに限らず、図１４に示す入金部４０３のように、紙幣取込状態において、例えばローラ軸２１を支点としてプールガイド４２４を図１４中時計回りに回動させるようにしても良い。 [5. Other Embodiments]
In the above-described embodiment, the case where the high friction material 20 </ b> A is retracted inside the pool guide 24 when the bill BL is inserted has been described. The present invention is not limited to this, and the pool guide 424 may be rotated clockwise in FIG. 14 with the roller shaft 21 as a fulcrum, for example, in the banknote taking-in state as in the depositing unit 403 shown in FIG. .
　この場合、ピッカローラ２０よりもプールガイド４２４の上部分の方が前方へ突出している。このため、上方から下方に向かってほぼ鉛直方向に沿って紙幣ＢＬが投入された際、当該紙幣ＢＬがプールガイド４２４に近接していたとしても、当該紙幣ＢＬはプールガイド４２４の上部分に接触しながら紙幣プール２５に落下する。このため入金部４０３は、高摩擦材２０Ａに紙幣ＢＬを引っ掛かりにくくすることができる。 In this case, the upper part of the pool guide 424 protrudes forward from the picker roller 20. For this reason, when the banknote BL is inserted along the substantially vertical direction from the upper side to the lower side, even if the banknote BL is close to the pool guide 424, the banknote BL contacts the upper part of the pool guide 424. While falling to the bill pool 25. For this reason, the money_receiving | payment part 403 can make it difficult to catch the banknote BL on the high friction material 20A.
　また上述した実施の形態においては、上方が開口する入金部３乃至３０３に適用する場合について述べた。実施の形態はこれに限らず、例えば図１５に示すように、後方が開口する紙幣プール５２５を有する入金部５０３に適用しても良い。 Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to the depositing units 3 to 303 whose upper side is open has been described. For example, as shown in FIG. 15, the embodiment may be applied to a depositing unit 503 having a bill pool 525 that opens at the rear.
　入金部５０３においては、紙幣プール５２５の上壁面をプールガイド５２４が、下壁面をステージ３８が形成している。この紙幣プール５２５の前壁面の上側には取込口５０３Ｃが設けられ、当該取込口５０３Ｃの前側近傍にはフィードローラ５２６とゲートローラ５２８とが上下方向に対向配置され、当該フィードローラ５２６及びゲートローラ５２８の前側近傍には、搬送ローラ５３０と搬送ローラ５３２とが上下方向に対向配置されている。 In the depositing unit 503, the pool guide 524 forms the upper wall surface of the banknote pool 525, and the stage 38 forms the lower wall surface. An intake port 503C is provided on the upper side of the front wall surface of the banknote pool 525, and a feed roller 526 and a gate roller 528 are disposed in the vicinity of the front side of the intake port 503C so as to face each other in the vertical direction. In the vicinity of the front side of the gate roller 528, a transport roller 530 and a transport roller 532 are arranged to face each other in the vertical direction.
　ピッカローラ５２０は紙幣プール５２５の上側に設けられ、プールガイド５２４のガイド面５２４Ｆから一部が突出している。 The picker roller 520 is provided on the upper side of the bill pool 525, and a part of the picker roller 520 protrudes from the guide surface 524F of the pool guide 524.
　紙幣取込状態においては、入金部５０３はステージ３８を下方へ移動させることにより、投入口５０３Ａの上下幅を広げると共に、ステージ３８の動きに同期させてピッカシャッタ５３４を時計回りに回動させることにより、ガイド面５２４Ｆからピッカシャッタ５３４を紙幣プール５２５内部に突出させ、ピッカローラ５２０の下端部よりも下方に位置させる。 In the banknote taking-in state, the depositing unit 503 moves the stage 38 downward, thereby widening the vertical width of the insertion port 503A and rotating the picker shutter 534 clockwise in synchronization with the movement of the stage 38. Thus, the picker shutter 534 protrudes from the guide surface 524F into the bill pool 525 and is positioned below the lower end of the picker roller 520.
　この状態において、ピッカローラ５２０はピッカシャッタ５３４の上方に位置しているため、紙幣ＢＬがピッカローラ５２０近傍に投入されたとしても当該紙幣ＢＬが高摩擦材５２０Ａと接触することはなく、ピッカシャッタ５３４に接触しながら紙幣プール５２５に集積される。 In this state, since the picker roller 520 is positioned above the picker shutter 534, even if the bill BL is inserted in the vicinity of the picker roller 520, the bill BL does not come into contact with the high friction material 520A. The bill is accumulated in the bill pool 525 while being in contact with 534.
　紙幣ＢＬが投入されたことを図示しないセンサにより検知すると、入金部５０３は、ステージ３８をプールガイド５２４に向けて上方へ移動させることにより紙幣繰出状態へ移行させる。このとき入金部５０３は、ステージ３８の動きに同期させてピッカシャッタ５３４を反時計回りに回動させピッカローラ５２０の下端部よりも上方に位置させるようガイド面５２４Ｆの上側に退避させる。 When it is detected by a sensor (not shown) that the banknote BL has been inserted, the depositing unit 503 moves the stage 38 toward the pool guide 524 to shift to the banknote feeding state. At this time, the depositing unit 503 moves the picker shutter 534 counterclockwise in synchronization with the movement of the stage 38 and retracts it above the guide surface 524F so as to be positioned above the lower end of the picker roller 520.
　入金部５０３は、ステージ３８により紙幣ＢＬをプールガイド５２４に押し付け、ピッカローラ５２０の高摩擦材５２０Ａに圧接させた状態でピッカローラ５２０を回転させる。 The depositing unit 503 rotates the picker roller 520 in a state where the bill BL is pressed against the pool guide 524 by the stage 38 and pressed against the high friction material 520A of the picker roller 520.
　ピッカローラ５２０に押し付けられた紙幣ＢＬは、ピッカローラ５２０の回転により１枚ずつ分離させられて前方の取込口５０３Ｃへと繰り出され、さらにフィードローラ５２６とゲートローラ５２８とにより取込口５０３Ｃから送り出され、搬送ローラ５３０及び５３２により現金自動取引装置１の内部へと取り込まれていく。 The bills BL pressed against the picker roller 520 are separated one by one by the rotation of the picker roller 520 and fed out to the front intake port 503C, and further from the intake port 503C by the feed roller 526 and the gate roller 528. It is fed out and taken into the cash automatic transaction apparatus 1 by the transport rollers 530 and 532.
　さらに図１６に示すように、後方が開口する紙幣プール６２５を有し、当該紙幣プール６２５の下壁面をプールガイド６２４が、上壁面をビルプレス６２２がそれぞれ形成する入金部６０３において本発明を適用しても良い。この入金部６０３は、入金部５０３（図１５）を上下反転した構成となっている。 Further, as shown in FIG. 16, the present invention is applied to a depositing portion 603 that has a bill pool 625 that is open at the rear, and in which a pool guide 624 forms a lower wall surface of the bill pool 625 and a bill press 622 forms an upper wall surface. You may do it. This depositing unit 603 has a configuration in which the depositing unit 503 (FIG. 15) is turned upside down.
　この紙幣プール６２５の前壁面の下側には取込口６０３Ｃが設けられ、当該取込口６０３Ｃの前側近傍にはフィードローラ６２６とゲートローラ６２８とが上下方向に対向配置され、当該フィードローラ６２６及びゲートローラ６２８の前側近傍には、搬送ローラ６３０と搬送ローラ６３２とが上下方向に対向配置されている。 An intake port 603C is provided below the front wall surface of the banknote pool 625, and a feed roller 626 and a gate roller 628 are disposed in the vertical direction in the vicinity of the front side of the intake port 603C. In the vicinity of the front side of the gate roller 628, a transport roller 630 and a transport roller 632 are arranged to face each other in the vertical direction.
　ピッカローラ６２０は紙幣プール６２５の下側に設けられ、プールガイド６２４のガイド面６２４Ｆから一部が突出している。 The picker roller 620 is provided on the lower side of the bill pool 625, and a part thereof protrudes from the guide surface 624F of the pool guide 624.
　紙幣取込状態においては、入金部６０３はビルプレス６２２を上方へ移動させることにより、投入口６０３Ａの上下幅を広げると共に、ビルプレス６２２の動きに同期させてピッカシャッタ６３４を反時計回りに回動させることにより、ガイド面６２４Ｆからピッカシャッタ６３４を紙幣プール６２５内部に突出させ、ピッカローラ６２０の上端部よりも上方に位置させる。 In the bill taking-in state, the depositing unit 603 moves the bill press 622 upward, thereby widening the vertical width of the insertion slot 603A and rotating the picker shutter 634 counterclockwise in synchronization with the movement of the bill press 622. By moving, the picker shutter 634 protrudes from the guide surface 624F into the bill pool 625 and is positioned above the upper end of the picker roller 620.
　この状態において、ピッカローラ６２０はピッカシャッタ６３４の下方に位置しているため、紙幣ＢＬがピッカローラ６２０近傍に投入されたとしても当該紙幣ＢＬが高摩擦材６２０Ａと接触することはなく、ピッカシャッタ６３４に接触しながら紙幣プール６２５に集積される。 In this state, since the picker roller 620 is positioned below the picker shutter 634, even if the bill BL is inserted in the vicinity of the picker roller 620, the bill BL does not come into contact with the high friction material 620A. The bills are accumulated in the bill pool 625 while contacting the 634.
　紙幣ＢＬが投入されたことを図示しないセンサにより検知すると、入金部６０３は、ビルプレス６２２をプールガイド６２４に向けて下方へ移動させることにより紙幣繰出状態へ移行させる。このとき入金部６０３は、ビルプレス６２２の動きに同期させてピッカシャッタ６３４を時計回りに回動させピッカローラ６２０の上端部よりも下方に位置させるようガイド面６２４Ｆの下側に退避させる。 When it is detected by a sensor (not shown) that the bill BL has been inserted, the depositing unit 603 moves the bill press 622 downward toward the pool guide 624 to shift to the bill feeding state. At this time, the depositing unit 603 is retracted below the guide surface 624F so as to rotate the picker shutter 634 clockwise in synchronization with the movement of the bill press 622 and to be positioned below the upper end of the picker roller 620.
　入金部６０３は、ビルプレス６２２により紙幣ＢＬをプールガイド６２４に押し付け、ピッカローラ６２０の高摩擦材６２０Ａに圧接させた状態でピッカローラ６２０を回転させる。 The depositing unit 603 presses the bill BL against the pool guide 624 by the bill press 622, and rotates the picker roller 620 in a state of being pressed against the high friction material 620A of the picker roller 620.
　ピッカローラ６２０に押し付けられた紙幣は、ピッカローラ６２０の回転により１枚ずつ分離させられて前方の取込口６０３Ｃへと繰り出され、さらにフィードローラ６２６とゲートローラ６２８とにより取込口６０３Ｃから送り出され、搬送ローラ６３０及び６３２により現金自動取引装置１の内部へと取り込まれていく。 The banknotes pressed against the picker roller 620 are separated one by one by the rotation of the picker roller 620, fed out to the front intake port 603C, and further fed out from the intake port 603C by the feed roller 626 and the gate roller 628. Then, it is taken into the automatic cash transaction apparatus 1 by the transport rollers 630 and 632.
　このように本発明は、紙幣ＢＬが立位集積される入金部に限らず、面方向がほぼ水平方向に沿う紙幣ＢＬが上下方向に積み重なるよう平置き集積される入金部に対し適用しても良い。 As described above, the present invention is not limited to the depositing unit in which the banknotes BL are stacked upright, but can be applied to a depositing unit in which the banknotes BL are stacked in a vertical direction so that the banknotes BL are stacked in the vertical direction. good.

　実施の形態はこれに限らず、紙幣収納庫１５又は一時保留部１１（図２）に適用しても良い。紙幣収納庫１５と一時保留部１１とはほぼ同様の構成であるため、以下では紙幣収納庫１５について説明する。 The embodiment is not limited to this, and may be applied to the banknote storage 15 or the temporary storage unit 11 (FIG. 2). Since the banknote storage 15 and the temporary storage unit 11 have substantially the same configuration, the banknote storage 15 will be described below.
　図１７に示すように紙幣収納庫１５（一時保留部１１）は、後方の上部に入出口４２を有する箱型であり、紙幣を収納する紙幣プール４３を内部に有している。この紙幣プール４３には、上下方向に移動可能な板状のステージ４０が設けられている。 As shown in FIG. 17, the banknote storage 15 (temporary holding part 11) is a box shape which has the entrance / exit 42 in the rear upper part, and has the banknote pool 43 which accommodates a banknote inside. The bill pool 43 is provided with a plate-like stage 40 that can move in the vertical direction.
　入出口４２の後側近傍には搬送ローラ４４と搬送ローラ４６とが上下方向に対向配置され、当該搬送ローラ４４及び搬送ローラ４６の後側近傍には、搬送ローラ４８と搬送ローラ５０とが上下方向に対向配置されている。 In the vicinity of the rear side of the inlet / outlet 42, the transport roller 44 and the transport roller 46 are vertically opposed to each other, and in the vicinity of the rear side of the transport roller 44 and the transport roller 46, the transport roller 48 and the transport roller 50 are vertically Opposed in the direction.
　ピッカローラ５２は紙幣プール４３の上側に設けられ、紙幣収納庫１５の天板５６の下面である紙幣プール４３内部に向かって上壁面５８から一部が突出している。 The picker roller 52 is provided on the upper side of the banknote pool 43, and a part of the picker roller 52 protrudes from the upper wall surface 58 toward the inside of the banknote pool 43, which is the lower surface of the top plate 56 of the banknote storage 15.
