The separation feeding unit includes a feed roller, the feed roller, A separation unit that separates the medium by an opposing gate roller; a feeding roller that is coaxial with the feed roller and disposed outside in the axial direction with respect to the feed roller; and that contacts the feeding roller; A tension roller that sandwiches the medium therebetween, and the feeding roller includes a friction portion formed over the outer peripheral surface of the feeding roller and a friction portion at an end portion on the side away from the feed roller in the axial direction. The surface of the feeding roller and a rib having at least the same radial height are provided.
　さらに本開示の媒体取引装置においては、顧客に対して媒体を排出する排出部と、媒体が収納される媒体収納空間から媒体を分離して繰り出す分離繰出部を有する媒体収納庫とを設け、分離繰出部は、フィードローラと、該フィードローラと対向するゲートローラとにより媒体を分離する分離部と、フィードローラと同軸においてフィードローラに対し軸方向の外側に設けられ、媒体を搬送する繰出ローラと、繰出ローラと当接し、該繰出ローラとの間で媒体を挟持するテンションローラとを設け、繰出ローラは、該繰出ローラの外周面に亘って形成された摩擦部と、軸方向におけるフィードローラから離間した側の端部に、摩擦部を含む繰出ローラの表面と少なくとも同等の径方向の高さのリブとを有するようにした。 Further, in the medium transaction apparatus of the present disclosure, a separation unit for discharging the medium to the customer and a medium storage having a separation feeding unit for separating and feeding out the medium from the medium storage space in which the medium is stored are provided and separated. The feeding unit includes a feed roller, a separation unit that separates the medium by a gate roller facing the feed roller, a feeding roller that is provided coaxially with the feed roller and outside the feed roller in the axial direction, and conveys the medium.

The outer cover 50 has a cassette outlet 37 that communicates the bill storage space 51 with the outside of the outer cover 50 and feeds the bill BL from the bill storage space 51 to the transport unit 22 (FIG. 1) on the lower side of the rear side. Is provided. In FIG. 3, the first roller 70 is not shown and is omitted.
　外カバー５０には、カバー開口を覆い片開きする板状の開き扉であるカセット扉５２が回動するよう開閉可能に設けられている。出金カセット２０は、顧客との間で取引処理が行われる場合、図３に示したようにカセット扉５２を閉じカバー開口を閉鎖することにより、出金カセット２０内部の各部を保護する。一方出金カセット２０は、現金自動支払機１から取り外された該出金カセット２０に紙幣ＢＬが装填される場合、カセット扉５２を開きカバー開口を開放することにより、紙幣ＢＬを装填可能な状態とする。 The outer cover 50 is provided so as to be openable and closable so that a cassette door 52, which is a plate-shaped opening door that covers the opening of the cover and opens in one piece, can rotate. When a transaction process is performed with a customer, the withdrawal cassette 20 protects each part inside the withdrawal cassette 20 by closing the cassette door 52 and closing the cover opening as shown in FIG. On the other hand, when the banknote BL is loaded into the withdrawal cassette 20 removed from the cash dispenser 1, the withdrawal cassette 20 can be loaded with the banknote BL by opening the cassette door 52 and opening the cover opening. And
　カセット扉５２における前端側には、カセット錠５３が設けられている。出金カセット２０は、カセット錠５３に所定の鍵が差し込まれ一方向に捻られることにより、カセット扉５２を施錠し、セキュリティを確保する。一方出金カセット２０は、カセット錠５３に所定の鍵が差し込まれ他方向に捻られることにより、カセット扉５２を解錠する。 A cassette lock 53 is provided on the front end side of the cassette door 52. The dispensing cassette 20 locks the cassette door 52 to ensure security by inserting a predetermined key into the cassette lock 53 and twisting it in one direction. On the other hand, the dispensing cassette 20 unlocks the cassette door 52 by inserting a predetermined key into the cassette lock 53 and twisting it in the other direction.
　また出金カセット２０内には、押圧板５５が設けられている。押圧板５５は、前後方向に薄い板状に形成されており、紙幣収納空間５１を前後に仕切る。また押圧板５５は、前後方向へ自在に移動すると共に、図示しない引張ばねが取り付けられることにより、後方向である押付方向に付勢力が加えられている。これにより押圧板５５は、紙幣収納空間５１に収納された紙幣ＢＬを後述するピッカローラ６２に押し付ける。 Further, a pressing plate 55 is provided in the dispensing cassette 20. The pressing plate 55 is formed in a thin plate shape in the front-rear direction, and partitions the bill storage space 51 in the front-rear direction. Further, the pressing plate 55 moves freely in the front-rear direction, and a biasing force is applied in the pressing direction which is the rear direction by attaching a tension spring (not shown). Accordingly, the pressing plate 55 presses the bill BL stored in the bill storage space 51 against the picker roller 62 described later.
　紙幣収納空間５１は、紙幣ＢＬの紙面を前後方向に向けると共に、その長手方向を、後述するピッカローラ６２の軸に沿った幅方向である左右方向に向けた状態、すなわち短手方向を概ね上下方向に向けた状態で、複数の紙幣ＢＬを前後方向に集積した状態で収容する。紙幣収納空間５１の下方には、外カバー５０に固定されたカバーガイド５６が前後方向に延設しており、紙幣ＢＬに当接することにより紙幣ＢＬを滑らかに前後方向へ移動しやすくしている。カバーガイド５６よりも後方には、分離繰出部ガイド５７が形成されている。 In the bill storage space 51, the paper surface of the bill BL is directed in the front-rear direction, and the longitudinal direction thereof is directed in the left-right direction, which is the width direction along the axis of the picker roller 62 described later, that is, the short direction is substantially up and down. A plurality of banknotes BL are stored in the front-rear direction while being oriented in the direction. A cover guide 56 fixed to the outer cover 50 extends in the front-rear direction below the banknote storage space 51, and makes it easier to move the banknote BL smoothly in the front-rear direction by contacting the banknote BL. . A separating / feeding portion guide 57 is formed behind the cover guide 56.
　分離繰出部ガイド５７は、紙幣収納空間５１内の紙幣ＢＬを搬送部２２へ受け渡す分離繰出部３６が組み込まれていると共に、後述するゲート部７２よりも紙幣ＢＬの搬送方向の下流側からカセット繰出口３７までの搬送路であるカセット内搬送路５８を構成している。 The separating / feeding section guide 57 incorporates a separating / feeding section 36 for transferring the banknote BL in the banknote storage space 51 to the transport section 22, and is a cassette from the downstream side in the transport direction of the banknote BL from the gate section 72 described later. An in-cassette transport path 58 that is a transport path to the feeding port 37 is configured.
［１－６．分離繰出部の構成］
　分離繰出部３６は、図示しない駆動機構から駆動力が伝達されることにより回転するピッカローラ６２、フィードローラ６４、ゲートローラ６６、テンションローラ６８及び第１ローラ７０（図５）により構成されている。 [1-6. Configuration of separation feeding unit]
The separating and feeding unit 36 includes a picker roller 62, a feed roller 64, a gate roller 66, a tension roller 68, and a first roller 70 (FIG. 5) that rotate when a driving force is transmitted from a driving mechanism (not shown). .
［１－６－１．ピッカローラの構成］
　紙幣収納空間５１の後側には、図４に示すように左右方向に沿って延在するピッカローラシャフト６２Ｓが分離繰出部ガイド５７に取り付けられている。ピッカローラシャフト６２Ｓには、左右方向に紙幣ＢＬの長手方向の長さよりも短い間隔を空けて、ピッカローラ６２ＬＬ、６２ＬＲ、６２ＲＬ及び６２ＲＲ（以下ではまとめてピッカローラ６２とも呼ぶ）の４個が押圧板５５と対向するよう図３中反時計回りに回転可能に取り付けられている。またピッカローラ６２は、高摩擦部材であるピッカローラゴム部６２Ｇが外周の一部分を覆っている。一方ピッカローラ６２は、外周のうちピッカローラゴム部６２Ｇにより覆われていない部分であるピッカローラゴム無部６２Ｇｎが低摩擦部材で形成されている。これにより出金カセット２０は、ピッカローラ６２が回転した際、ピッカローラゴム無部６２Ｇｎが紙幣ＢＬに当接しても、該紙幣ＢＬをカセット内搬送路５８へ送り出さないようにしている。ピッカローラ６２は、紙幣収納空間５１に収納された紙幣ＢＬのうち最後部に位置する紙幣にピッカローラゴム部６２Ｇが当接し回転することにより、該紙幣ＢＬをフィードローラ６４へ向けて下側へ送り出す。 [1-6-1. Picker Roller Configuration]
As shown in FIG. 4, a picker roller shaft 62 </ b> S extending along the left-right direction is attached to the separating and feeding part guide 57 on the rear side of the bill storage space 51. Four picker rollers 62LL, 62LR, 62RL, and 62RR (hereinafter collectively referred to as the picker roller 62) are pressed against the picker roller shaft 62S at intervals shorter than the length of the bill BL in the left-right direction. It is attached to be able to rotate counterclockwise in FIG. The picker roller 62 has a picker roller rubber portion 62G, which is a high friction member, covering a part of the outer periphery. On the other hand, in the picker roller 62, a picker roller rubber non-portion 62Gn which is a portion not covered with the picker roller rubber portion 62G in the outer periphery is formed of a low friction member. Thereby, the withdrawal cassette 20 prevents the bill BL from being sent out to the in-cassette transport path 58 even when the picker roller rubberless portion 62Gn contacts the bill BL when the picker roller 62 rotates. The picker roller 62 is rotated downward with the picker roller rubber portion 62G in contact with the banknote located at the rearmost part of the banknotes BL stored in the banknote storage space 51, so that the banknote BL is directed downward toward the feed roller 64. Send it out.
［１－６－２．フィードローラの構成］
　ピッカローラシャフト６２Ｓの下方には、図５に示すように左右方向に沿って延在するフィードローラシャフト６４Ｓが分離繰出部ガイド５７に取り付けられている。フィードローラシャフト６４Ｓには、左右方向に紙幣の長手方向の長さよりも短い間隔を空けて、フィードローラ６４Ｌ及び６４Ｒ（以下ではまとめてフィードローラ６４とも呼ぶ）の２個がピッカローラ６２と対向するよう図３中反時計回りに回転可能に取り付けられている。またフィードローラ６４は、高摩擦部材であるフィードローラ摩擦部としてのフィードローラゴム部６４Ｇが外周の一部分を覆っている。具体的にフィードローラゴム部６４Ｇは、図８に示すように１３５度程度の回転角度の範囲に亘って、フィードローラ６４の外周面に設けられている。一方フィードローラ６４は、外周面のうちフィードローラゴム部６４Ｇにより覆われていない部分であるフィードローラゴム無部６４Ｇｎが低摩擦部材で形成されている。これにより出金カセット２０は、フィードローラ６４が回転した際、フィードローラゴム無部６４Ｇｎが紙幣に当接しても、該紙幣をカセット内搬送路５８へ送り出さないようにしている。またフィードローラ６４Ｌ及び６４Ｒには、外周全域に亘ってそれぞれフィードローラ溝部６４Ｍが凹設されている。またフィードローラ６４は、ピッカローラ６２と駆動が連結されることにより、該ピッカローラ６２と連動して回転する。これによりピッカローラ６２のピッカローラゴム部６２Ｇとフィードローラ６４のフィードローラゴム部６４Ｇとは、常に同じ位相となるように回転している。フィードローラ６４は、ピッカローラ６２により送り出された紙幣に当接し回転することにより、該紙幣をカセット内搬送路５８へ送り出し後述する接触部７４まで搬送し、さらにカセット繰出口３７から搬送部２２へ放出する。 [1-6-2. Feed roller configuration]
Below the picker roller shaft 62S, a feed roller shaft 64S extending in the left-right direction is attached to the separating / feeding portion guide 57 as shown in FIG. Two feed rollers 64 </ b> L and 64 </ b> R (hereinafter also collectively referred to as feed roller 64) face the picker roller 62 at an interval shorter than the length of the bill in the left-right direction on the feed roller shaft 64 </ b> S. As shown in FIG. 3, it is attached to be rotatable counterclockwise. The feed roller 64 has a feed roller rubber part 64G as a feed roller friction part, which is a high friction member, covering a part of the outer periphery. Specifically, the feed roller rubber portion 64G is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the feed roller 64 over a range of a rotation angle of about 135 degrees as shown in FIG. On the other hand, in the feed roller 64, a feed roller rubber non-portion 64Gn that is a portion of the outer peripheral surface that is not covered with the feed roller rubber portion 64G is formed of a low friction member. Accordingly, the dispensing cassette 20 prevents the banknote from being fed out to the in-cassette conveyance path 58 even when the feed roller rubberless portion 64Gn abuts against the banknote when the feed roller 64 rotates. The feed rollers 64L and 64R are respectively provided with feed roller grooves 64M over the entire outer periphery. Further, the feed roller 64 rotates in conjunction with the picker roller 62 when the drive is coupled to the picker roller 62. As a result, the picker roller rubber portion 62G of the picker roller 62 and the feed roller rubber portion 64G of the feed roller 64 rotate so as to always have the same phase. The feed roller 64 abuts on the banknote sent out by the picker roller 62 and rotates to feed the banknote to the in-cassette transport path 58 and transport it to the contact section 74 described later, and further from the cassette feed opening 37 to the transport section 22. discharge.
［１－６－３．第１ローラの構成］
　第１ローラ７０Ｌ及び７０Ｒ（以下ではまとめて第１ローラ７０とも呼ぶ）は、図５に示すようにそれぞれフィードローラシャフト６４Ｓにおけるフィードローラ６４Ｌの左側とフィードローラ６４Ｒの右側、すなわちフィードローラ６４に対する軸方向の両外側において、該フィードローラシャフト６４Ｓに取り付けられている。これにより第１ローラ７０は、フィードローラ６４と常に同じ位相で回転している。また第１ローラ７０は、ローラ部７０Ｒｏｌとリブ７０Ｒｉｂとを有している。 [1-6-3. Configuration of first roller]
As shown in FIG. 5, the first rollers 70L and 70R (hereinafter collectively referred to as the first roller 70) are respectively the left side of the feed roller 64L and the right side of the feed roller 64R in the feed roller shaft 64S, that is, the shaft with respect to the feed roller 64. At both outer sides in the direction, it is attached to the feed roller shaft 64S. As a result, the first roller 70 always rotates in the same phase as the feed roller 64. The first roller 70 includes a roller portion 70Rol and a rib 70Rib.
［１－６－３－１．ローラ部の構成］
　ローラ部７０Ｒｏｌは、フィードローラ６４と同等の半径を有し、扁平な円柱状に構成されている。またローラ部７０Ｒｏｌは、フィードローラゴム部６４Ｇと摩擦係数がほぼ同等の高摩擦部材である第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇにより、該ローラ部７０Ｒｏｌの外周の全周を覆っている。 [1-6-3-1. Configuration of roller section]
The roller part 70Rol has a radius equivalent to that of the feed roller 64, and is formed in a flat cylindrical shape. The roller portion 70Rol covers the entire outer periphery of the roller portion 70Rol with a first roller rubber portion 70G which is a high friction member having a friction coefficient substantially equal to that of the feed roller rubber portion 64G.
［１－６－３－２．リブの構成］
　ローラ部７０Ｒｏｌに対する軸方向におけるフィードローラ６４から離間した側の端部には、外側リブ７０ＲｉｂＯが、該ローラ部７０Ｒｏｌと一体化して形成されている。図７に示すように外側リブ７０ＲｉｂＯは、その外周面が、第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇを含むローラ部７０Ｒｏｌの外周面と同等の曲率となっており、フィードローラシャフト６４Ｓの中心軸からローラ部７０Ｒｏｌの外周面に向かう方向である径方向の高さが、ローラ部７０Ｒｏｌと同等になっている。 [1-6-3-2. Rib structure]
An outer rib 70RibO is formed integrally with the roller portion 70Rol at an end portion on the side away from the feed roller 64 in the axial direction with respect to the roller portion 70Rol. As shown in FIG. 7, the outer rib 70RibO has an outer peripheral surface with a curvature equivalent to that of the outer peripheral surface of the roller portion 70Rol including the first roller rubber portion 70G, and the roller portion 70Rol from the central axis of the feed roller shaft 64S. The height in the radial direction, which is the direction toward the outer peripheral surface, is equivalent to the roller portion 70Rol.
　この外側リブ７０ＲｉｂＯは、フィードローラ６４におけるフィードローラゴム無部６４Ｇｎと摩擦係数がほぼ同等の低摩擦部材により形成されている。外側リブ７０ＲｉｂＯは、２２５度程度の回転角度の範囲に亘って、ローラ部７０Ｒｏｌの軸方向における外側面の一部分に設けられている。またローラ部７０Ｒｏｌの軸方向における外側面において外側リブ７０ＲｉｂＯが設けられていない部分であるリブ無部７０Ｒｉｂｎは、１３５度程度の回転角度の範囲に亘って設けられている。 The outer rib 70RibO is formed of a low friction member having a friction coefficient substantially equal to that of the feed roller rubber non-portion 64Gn in the feed roller 64. The outer rib 70RibO is provided on a part of the outer surface in the axial direction of the roller portion 70Rol over a range of a rotation angle of about 225 degrees. Further, the ribless portion 70Ribn, which is a portion where the outer rib 70RibO is not provided on the outer side surface in the axial direction of the roller portion 70Rol, is provided over a range of a rotation angle of about 135 degrees.
　このリブ無部７０Ｒｉｂｎは、図７にフィードローラ６４におけるフィードローラゴム部６４Ｇを破線で示すように、フィードローラゴム部６４Ｇと同じ位相において、該フィードローラゴム部６４Ｇが配置されている回転角度以下でローラ部７０Ｒｏｌに配置されている。これにより、右側面視において、ローラ部７０Ｒｏｌの左右両脇にリブ７０Ｒｉｂが形成されていない箇所には、フィードローラ６４のフィードローラゴム部６４Ｇが必ず存在することとなっている。 The ribless portion 70Ribn has a rotation angle equal to or less than the rotation angle at which the feed roller rubber portion 64G is disposed in the same phase as the feed roller rubber portion 64G, as shown by a broken line in the feed roller rubber portion 64G of the feed roller 64 in FIG. Is disposed on the roller portion 70Rol. Thereby, in the right side view, the feed roller rubber portion 64G of the feed roller 64 is always present at a location where the ribs 70Rib are not formed on the left and right sides of the roller portion 70Rol.
　また図９に示すようにリブ７０Ｒｉｂは、ローラ部７０Ｒｏｌに対し軸方向に沿って左右両外側に向かうに連れて半径が大きくなるよう傾斜するテーパ部７０Ｔが形成されている。これにより第１ローラ７０は、テンションローラ６８により紙幣がローラ部７０Ｒｏｌに向かって押し付けられた際に、紙幣が急激に屈曲してしまうことを抑え、紙幣を傷みにくくさせることができる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the rib 70Rib is formed with a tapered portion 70T that is inclined with respect to the roller portion 70Rol so as to increase in radius toward the left and right outer sides along the axial direction. Thereby, the 1st roller 70 can suppress that a banknote is bent rapidly, when a banknote is pressed toward the roller part 70Rol with the tension roller 68, and can make a banknote hard to be damaged.
　またローラ部７０Ｒｏｌに対する軸方向におけるフィードローラ６４に近接する側の端部には、外側リブ７０ＲｉｂＯと同一形状であり同一素材の内側リブ７０ＲｉｂＩが、リブ無部７０Ｒｉｂｎが外側リブ７０ＲｉｂＯと同位相となるように形成されている。以下では外側リブ７０ＲｉｂＯ及び内側リブ７０ＲｉｂＩをまとめてリブ７０Ｒｉｂとも呼ぶ。このように、ローラ部７０Ｒｏｌには、軸方向の両端部に互いに同一形状のリブ７０Ｒｉｂが形成されている。 Further, the end of the roller portion 70Rol in the axial direction on the side close to the feed roller 64 has the same shape as the outer rib 70RibO, the inner rib 70RibI of the same material, and the rib-free portion 70Ribn have the same phase as the outer rib 70RibO. It is formed as follows. Hereinafter, the outer rib 70RibO and the inner rib 70RibI are collectively referred to as a rib 70Rib. Thus, the roller portion 70Rol is formed with ribs 70Rib having the same shape at both ends in the axial direction.
［１－６－４．ゲートローラの構成］
　図５及び図８に示すようにフィードローラシャフト６４Ｓの前方には、左右方向に沿って延在するゲートローラシャフト６６Ｓがカセット内搬送路５８を介してフィードローラシャフト６４Ｓと対向するよう分離繰出部ガイド５７に取り付けられている。ゲートローラシャフト６６Ｓには、左右方向に紙幣の長手方向の長さよりも短い間隔を空けて、ゲートローラ６６ＬＬ、６６ＬＲ、６６ＲＬ及び６６ＲＲ（以下ではまとめてゲートローラ６６とも呼ぶ）の４個がフィードローラ６４と対向するよう図３中反時計回りに回転可能に取り付けられている。ゲートローラシャフト６６Ｓは、図示しないワンウェイクラッチを介し分離繰出部ガイド５７に取り付けられており、このワンウェイクラッチは、ゲートローラ６６を図３中反時計回りにのみ回転させると共に、時計回りへの回転を規制する。またゲートローラ６６は、フィードローラ６４におけるフィードローラゴム部６４Ｇよりも摩擦係数の若干低い高摩擦部材が外周の全周を覆っている。ゲートローラ６６は、フィードローラ６４のフィードローラ溝部６４Ｍに入り込むことにより、該フィードローラ６４と非接触状態で噛み合っている。これによりゲートローラ６６の外周面とフィードローラ６４の外周面とは、オーバーラップしている。以下では、ゲートローラ６６がフィードローラ溝部６４Ｍに入り込みゲートローラ６６の外周面とフィードローラ６４の外周面とがオーバーラップしている箇所をゲート部７２とも呼ぶ。また以下ではフィードローラ６４とゲートローラ６６とをまとめて分離部６１とも呼ぶ。ゲートローラ６６は、反時計回りへ回転しないことにより、最後部の紙幣より前側の紙幣をその場に留め、紙幣の重送を防止する。 [1-6-4. Gate Roller Configuration]
As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 8, a separating and feeding portion is provided in front of the feed roller shaft 64 </ b> S so that the gate roller shaft 66 </ b> S extending in the left-right direction is opposed to the feed roller shaft 64 </ A guide 57 is attached. The gate roller shaft 66S includes four gate rollers 66LL, 66LR, 66RL, and 66RR (hereinafter collectively referred to as the gate roller 66) at intervals shorter than the length of the bill in the left-right direction. It is attached so as to be able to rotate counterclockwise in FIG. The gate roller shaft 66S is attached to the separating / feeding portion guide 57 via a one-way clutch (not shown). The one-way clutch rotates the gate roller 66 only counterclockwise in FIG. regulate. In the gate roller 66, a high friction member having a slightly lower friction coefficient than the feed roller rubber portion 64G in the feed roller 64 covers the entire outer periphery. The gate roller 66 meshes with the feed roller 64 in a non-contact state by entering the feed roller groove portion 64M of the feed roller 64. Thereby, the outer peripheral surface of the gate roller 66 and the outer peripheral surface of the feed roller 64 overlap. Hereinafter, the portion where the gate roller 66 enters the feed roller groove portion 64 </ b> M and the outer peripheral surface of the gate roller 66 and the outer peripheral surface of the feed roller 64 overlap is also referred to as a gate portion 72. Hereinafter, the feed roller 64 and the gate roller 66 are also collectively referred to as a separation unit 61. The gate roller 66 does not rotate counterclockwise, so that the banknote in front of the last banknote is held in place to prevent double feeding of banknotes.
［１－６－５．テンションローラの構成］
　図３、図６及び図８に示すように、テンションローラ６８Ｌ及び６８Ｒ（以下ではまとめてテンションローラ６８とも呼ぶ）は、ゲート部７２の下方（すなわち下流側）に配置されており、テンションローラ６８Ｌ及び６８Ｒがそれぞれ第１ローラ７０Ｌ及び７０Ｒのローラ部７０Ｒｏｌに当接するよう図３中時計回りに回転可能に図示しないシャフトに支持されている。テンションローラ６８は、フィードローラ６４及び第１ローラ７０と比較して半径が小さく、且つ軸方向の厚さが第１ローラ７０におけるローラ部７０Ｒｏｌよりも薄く、扁平な円柱状に構成されている。これによりテンションローラ６８は、第１ローラ７０におけるリブ７０Ｒｉｂと当接しないように構成されている。テンションローラ６８は、図示しないスプリングによりフィードローラ６４に向かって付勢されており、フィードローラ６４と接触する箇所である接触部７４でフィードローラ６４に対して押し付ける力を加える。テンションローラ６８は、フィードローラ６４の回転に連れ回って回転する。 [1-6-5. Configuration of tension roller]
As shown in FIGS. 3, 6, and 8, the tension rollers 68L and 68R (hereinafter collectively referred to as the tension roller 68) are disposed below (that is, downstream) the gate portion 72, and the tension roller 68L. And 68R are supported by a shaft (not shown) so as to be able to rotate clockwise in FIG. 3 so as to contact the roller portions 70Rol of the first rollers 70L and 70R, respectively. The tension roller 68 has a small radius as compared with the feed roller 64 and the first roller 70, has a smaller axial thickness than the roller portion 70 </ b> Rol in the first roller 70, and is formed in a flat cylindrical shape. Thus, the tension roller 68 is configured not to contact the rib 70Rib in the first roller 70. The tension roller 68 is urged toward the feed roller 64 by a spring (not shown), and applies a pressing force against the feed roller 64 at a contact portion 74 that is a portion in contact with the feed roller 64. The tension roller 68 rotates as the feed roller 64 rotates.
　図９に示すように接触部７４においてはテンションローラ６８が第１ローラ７０におけるローラ部７０Ｒｏｌの第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇを押し付ける。このためローラ部７０Ｒｏｌの第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇは、テンションローラ６８が図１０に示すように第１ローラ７０における第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇに接触していない箇所の状態（すなわち接触部７４よりも上流側）よりも凹むこととなる。これにより第１ローラ７０におけるリブ７０Ｒｉｂは、ローラ部７０Ｒｏｌの第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇよりも径方向の外側に突出した状態となる。 As shown in FIG. 9, at the contact portion 74, the tension roller 68 presses the first roller rubber portion 70G of the roller portion 70Rol of the first roller 70. For this reason, the first roller rubber portion 70G of the roller portion 70Rol is in a state where the tension roller 68 is not in contact with the first roller rubber portion 70G in the first roller 70 as shown in FIG. ) Will be recessed. Thereby, the rib 70Rib in the first roller 70 is in a state of protruding outward in the radial direction from the first roller rubber portion 70G of the roller portion 70Rol.
　一方図１０に示すように接触部７４よりも上流側においては、テンションローラ６８が第１ローラ７０における第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇに接触していない。このため第１ローラ７０におけるリブ７０Ｒｉｂは、ローラ部７０Ｒｏｌの第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇと径方向においてほぼ同じ高さとなる。 On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10, the tension roller 68 is not in contact with the first roller rubber portion 70 </ b> G in the first roller 70 on the upstream side of the contact portion 74. For this reason, the rib 70Rib in the first roller 70 has substantially the same height in the radial direction as the first roller rubber portion 70G of the roller portion 70Rol.
［１－７．繰出動作］
　かかる構成において出金カセット２０から紙幣を搬送部２２へ繰り出す繰出動作を行う際、紙幣出金機１０は、ピッカローラ６２及びフィードローラ６４を図３中反時計回りへ回転させる。先行する紙幣ＢＬｆ（図８）は、回転するピッカローラ６２のピッカローラゴム部６２Ｇに接触してゲート部７２へ送り出され、図８（Ａ）に示すように、回転するフィードローラ６４のフィードローラゴム部６４Ｇと、第１ローラ７０のローラ部７０Ｒｏｌにおけるリブ無部７０Ｒｉｂｎと同位相の外周面とに接触する。なお図８においては第１ローラ７０のリブ７０Ｒｉｂを破線で示している。 [1-7. Feeding operation]
In this configuration, when performing a feeding operation for feeding the banknotes from the dispensing cassette 20 to the transport unit 22, the banknote dispensing machine 10 rotates the picker roller 62 and the feed roller 64 counterclockwise in FIG. The preceding bill BLf (FIG. 8) contacts the picker roller rubber portion 62G of the rotating picker roller 62 and is sent out to the gate portion 72. As shown in FIG. 8A, the feed roller of the rotating feed roller 64 is fed. The rubber part 64G is in contact with the outer peripheral surface in the same phase as the ribless part 70Ribn in the roller part 70Rol of the first roller 70. In FIG. 8, the rib 70Rib of the first roller 70 is indicated by a broken line.
　このときゲートローラ６６は図中時計回りには回転しない。このとき図８（Ａ）に示すように紙幣ＢＬｆとフィードローラゴム部６４Ｇ及び第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇとの摩擦力Ｆ１が紙幣ＢＬｆとゲートローラ６６との摩擦力Ｆ２よりも大きいため、紙幣ＢＬｆは接触部７４へ送られる。これによりフィードローラ６４及びゲートローラ６６は、最後部の紙幣ＢＬｆより前側の紙幣をゲートローラ６６によりその場に留めつつ、紙幣ＢＬｆを挟持してフィードローラ６４により最後部の紙幣ＢＬｆのみをカセット内搬送路５８を介し接触部７４へ送り出す。 At this time, the gate roller 66 does not rotate clockwise in the figure. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8A, since the frictional force F1 between the bill BLf and the feed roller rubber portion 64G and the first roller rubber portion 70G is larger than the frictional force F2 between the bill BLf and the gate roller 66, the bill BLf is It is sent to the contact part 74. As a result, the feed roller 64 and the gate roller 66 hold the banknote in front of the rearmost banknote BLf in place by the gate roller 66, hold the banknote BLf and feed only the rearmost banknote BLf into the cassette by the feed roller 64. It is sent out to the contact portion 74 through the conveyance path 58.
　続いて図９に示すように紙幣ＢＬｆは、第１ローラ７０における外側リブ７０ＲｉｂＯ及び内側リブ７０ＲｉｂＩには接触するものの、接触部７４においてテンションローラ６８により第１ローラ７０における第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇへ押し付けられて変形し、該第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇへ接触する。これにより紙幣ＢＬｆは、第１ローラ７０の第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇとテンションローラ６８とに挟み込まれることにより、ゲートローラ６６から紙幣ＢＬｆが受ける抵抗力よりも第１ローラ７０とテンションローラ６８との搬送力が勝り、図８（Ｂ）に示すようにカセット内搬送路５８（図３）をカセット繰出口３７へ向かって搬送され、搬送部２２へ繰り出される。このとき、図８（Ｂ）に示すように、後続する紙幣ＢＬｎは、ゲート部７２に到達している。 Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 9, the bill BLf is in contact with the outer rib 70RibO and the inner rib 70RibI of the first roller 70, but is pressed against the first roller rubber portion 70G of the first roller 70 by the tension roller 68 at the contact portion 74. Then, it deforms and comes into contact with the first roller rubber portion 70G. As a result, the bill BLf is sandwiched between the first roller rubber portion 70G of the first roller 70 and the tension roller 68, so that the bill BLf is transported between the first roller 70 and the tension roller 68 more than the resistance force received by the bill BLf from the gate roller 66. The force wins, and as shown in FIG. 8 (B), it is transported through the in-cassette transport path 58 (FIG. 3) toward the cassette feed outlet 37 and fed out to the transport section 22. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8B, the subsequent bill BLn has reached the gate portion 72.
　このとき図１０に示すように、接触部７４よりも上流側においては紙幣ＢＬｎがフィードローラ６４のフィードローラゴム無部６４Ｇｎに接触している。またテンションローラ６８が第１ローラ７０における第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇに接触していないため、第１ローラ７０におけるリブ７０Ｒｉｂはローラ部７０Ｒｏｌの第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇと径方向においてほぼ同じ高さとなっている。 At this time, as shown in FIG. 10, the banknote BLn is in contact with the non-feed roller rubber part 64 </ b> Gn of the feed roller 64 on the upstream side of the contact part 74. Further, since the tension roller 68 is not in contact with the first roller rubber portion 70G of the first roller 70, the rib 70Rib of the first roller 70 is substantially the same height in the radial direction as the first roller rubber portion 70G of the roller portion 70Rol. .
　図１０に示すように紙幣ＢＬは、第１ローラ７０におけるリブ７０Ｒｉｂと接触すると共に、第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇとにも僅かに接触する。しかしながら、紙幣ＢＬは第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇに向けて押し付けられている訳ではないため、第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇとの間に発生する摩擦力は小さくなる。このため、図８（Ｂ）及び図８（Ｃ）に示すように紙幣ＢＬｎとフィードローラゴム無部６４Ｇｎ及びリブ７０Ｒｉｂとの摩擦力Ｆ３が紙幣ＢＬｎとゲートローラ６６との摩擦力Ｆ２よりも小さくなるため、紙幣ＢＬｎは接触部７４へ送られずにゲート部７２に留まる。なおこのとき紙幣ＢＬｆは、第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇからほとんど摩擦力を受けないため、第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇから受ける摩擦力は無視する。 As shown in FIG. 10, the banknote BL is in contact with the rib 70 </ b> Rib in the first roller 70 and slightly in contact with the first roller rubber portion 70 </ b> G. However, since the bill BL is not pressed against the first roller rubber portion 70G, the frictional force generated between the bill BL and the first roller rubber portion 70G is reduced. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 8B and 8C, the frictional force F3 between the banknote BLn, the feed roller rubberless portion 64Gn, and the rib 70Rib is smaller than the frictional force F2 between the banknote BLn and the gate roller 66. Therefore, the banknote BLn is not sent to the contact part 74 but stays at the gate part 72. At this time, since the bill BLf receives almost no frictional force from the first roller rubber part 70G, the frictional force received from the first roller rubber part 70G is ignored.
［１－８．効果等］
　ここで、図６と対応する部材に同一符号を付した図１５に従来の分離繰出部２３６を示すように、分離繰出部２３６には、第１ローラ２７０（第１ローラ２７０Ｌ及び２７０Ｒ）にリブ７０Ｒｉｂが形成されていない。図８と対応する部材に同一符号を付した図１６に示すように、分離繰出部２３６においては、図１６（Ｂ）及び図１６（Ｃ）に示すように紙幣ＢＬｎがゲート部７２に到達すると、紙幣ＢＬｎは、フィードローラ６４のフィードローラゴム部６４Ｇには接触していないものの、第１ローラ２７０の第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇに接触しているため、接触部７４へ向けて送り出される力が加わる。なお図１６（Ｃ）においてはフィードローラ６４のフィードローラゴム部６４Ｇを破線で示している。　　　 [1-8. Effect]
Here, as shown in FIG. 15, in which members corresponding to those in FIG. 6 are given the same reference numerals, the separation feeding portion 236 includes ribs on the first roller 270 ( first rollers 270L and 270R). 70 Rib is not formed. As shown in FIG. 16 in which members corresponding to those in FIG. 8 are denoted by the same reference numerals, when the bill BLn reaches the gate portion 72 in the separation feeding portion 236, as shown in FIGS. Although the bill BLn is not in contact with the feed roller rubber part 64G of the feed roller 64, it is in contact with the first roller rubber part 70G of the first roller 270, so that a force fed toward the contact part 74 is applied. . In FIG. 16C, the feed roller rubber portion 64G of the feed roller 64 is indicated by a broken line.
　このため紙幣ＢＬｎは、図１６（Ｃ）に示すように紙幣ＢＬｎと第１ローラ７０の第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇとの摩擦力Ｆ４が紙幣ＢＬｎとゲートローラ６６との摩擦力Ｆ２を上回ってしまい、紙幣ＢＬｆの次に分離する紙幣ＢＬｎの繰り出しを始める前の段階において、ゲート部７２において停止していることを想定されている紙幣ＢＬｎが、接触部７４へ向けて送られてしまう可能性がある。 Therefore, in the bill BLn, as shown in FIG. 16C, the frictional force F4 between the bill BLn and the first roller rubber portion 70G of the first roller 70 exceeds the frictional force F2 between the bill BLn and the gate roller 66, There is a possibility that the bill BLn that is assumed to be stopped at the gate portion 72 is sent toward the contact portion 74 in the stage before the feeding of the bill BLn to be separated next to the bill BLf is started. .
　この場合、紙幣ＢＬｎがゲート部７２よりも下流側へ若干送り出されて紙幣ＢＬｎの位置が不安定になる。そのため、紙幣の搬送間隔が異常になってしまったり、紙幣ＢＬｎと片側の第１ローラ２７０（すなわち第１ローラ２７０Ｌ又は２７０Ｒ）の第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇとの摩擦力が紙幣ＢＬｎとゲートローラ６６との摩擦力Ｆ２を上回ってスキューして繰り出し不良となることがあった。 In this case, the bill BLn is slightly sent to the downstream side of the gate portion 72, and the position of the bill BLn becomes unstable. Therefore, the conveyance interval of banknotes becomes abnormal, or the frictional force between the banknote BLn and the first roller rubber portion 70G of the first roller 270 (that is, the first roller 270L or 270R) on one side is the banknote BLn and the gate roller 66. The frictional force F2 is skewed to cause a feeding failure.
　これに対し出金カセット２０は、第１ローラ７０に対し、テンションローラ６８で紙幣を押し付けた場合にのみ第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇに該紙幣を強く接触させる一方、接触部７４よりも上流側においてテンションローラ６８で紙幣を押し付けていない場合には第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇに該紙幣を強く接触させないようにした。 On the other hand, the withdrawal cassette 20 makes the banknote strongly contact the first roller rubber part 70G only when the banknote is pressed against the first roller 70 by the tension roller 68, while the tension is on the upstream side of the contact part 74. When the banknote was not pressed with the roller 68, it was made not to contact the banknote strongly with the 1st roller rubber part 70G.
　これにより出金カセット２０は、先行する紙幣ＢＬｆをフィードローラ６４のフィードローラゴム部６４Ｇに接触させゲート部７２から接触部７４まで搬送し、第１ローラ７０の第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇに強く接触させることにより接触部７４からカセット繰出口３７（図３）へ搬送できる。 As a result, the dispensing cassette 20 brings the preceding banknote BLf into contact with the feed roller rubber part 64G of the feed roller 64 and conveys it from the gate part 72 to the contact part 74, and strongly contacts the first roller rubber part 70G of the first roller 70. By this, it can convey from the contact part 74 to the cassette delivery opening 37 (FIG. 3).
　それと共に出金カセット２０は、フィードローラ６４のフィードローラゴム部６４Ｇが後続する紙幣ＢＬｎに当接してゲート部７２から紙幣を繰り出す以前には、紙幣ＢＬｎを、フィードローラ６４のフィードローラゴム無部６４Ｇｎと第１ローラ７０のリブ７０Ｒｉｂとに主に接触させ、第１ローラ７０の第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇに強く接触させないようにした。これにより出金カセット２０は、紙幣ＢＬｎに対し、ゲート部７２から下流側へ搬送する力を発生させずに、次に分離する紙幣ＢＬｎの繰り出しを始める前の段階において紙幣ＢＬｎをゲート部７２に滞留させておくことができる。 At the same time, the withdrawal cassette 20 contacts the bill BLn followed by the feed roller rubber portion 64G of the feed roller 64 and feeds the bill from the gate portion 72. 64 Gn and the rib 70 </ b> Rib of the first roller 70 are mainly brought into contact with each other, and the first roller rubber portion 70 </ b> G of the first roller 70 is not strongly contacted. As a result, the dispensing cassette 20 does not generate a force for conveying the bill BLn from the gate portion 72 to the downstream side, and the bill BLn is transferred to the gate portion 72 at a stage before starting to feed the bill BLn to be separated next. Can stay.
　これにより出金カセット２０は、紙幣の搬送間隔が異常になってしまったり、紙幣がスキューして繰り出し不良となってしまったりすることを防止できる。 This makes it possible for the dispensing cassette 20 to prevent the conveyance interval of banknotes from becoming abnormal or the banknotes from being skewed and causing a feeding failure.
　さらに出金カセット２０は、ローラ部７０Ｒｏｌの軸方向における両外側面の全周ではなく、一部分のみにリブ７０Ｒｉｂを設け、フィードローラゴム部６４Ｇと同位相の箇所にはリブ７０Ｒｉｂを形成しないようにした。これにより出金カセット２０は、ゲート部７２においてリブ無部７０Ｒｉｂｎと同位相のフィードローラゴム部６４Ｇに紙幣が接触する際にリブ７０Ｒｉｂが影響しないようにでき、フィードローラゴム部６４Ｇに確実に紙幣を接触させることができる。 Further, the dispensing cassette 20 is provided with ribs 70Rib on only a part, not the entire circumference of both outer side surfaces in the axial direction of the roller part 70Rol, so that the ribs 70Rib are not formed at the same phase as the feed roller rubber part 64G. did. Accordingly, the dispensing cassette 20 can prevent the rib 70Rib from affecting the banknote 72 when the banknote contacts the feed roller rubber portion 64G in the same phase as the ribless portion 70Ribn in the gate portion 72, and reliably feeds the banknote to the feed roller rubber portion 64G. Can be contacted.
　さらに出金カセット２０は、リブ無部７０Ｒｉｂｎをフィードローラゴム部６４Ｇと同位相であり、且つフィードローラゴム部６４Ｇ以下の回転角度で配置するようにした。これにより出金カセット２０は、側面視でローラ部７０Ｒｏｌの左右両脇にリブ７０Ｒｉｂが形成されていない箇所には、フィードローラ６４のフィードローラゴム部６４Ｇが必ず存在するようにでき、ゲート部７２においてフィードローラゴム部６４Ｇに確実に紙幣を接触させることができる。 Further, in the dispensing cassette 20, the ribless portion 70Ribn is arranged in the same phase as the feed roller rubber portion 64G and at a rotation angle equal to or less than the feed roller rubber portion 64G. As a result, the dispensing cassette 20 can be configured such that the feed roller rubber portion 64G of the feed roller 64 is always present at the portions where the ribs 70Rib are not formed on both the left and right sides of the roller portion 70Rol in a side view, and the gate portion 72. The bill can be reliably brought into contact with the feed roller rubber portion 64G.
　以上の構成によれば紙幣出金機１０は、顧客に対して紙幣を排出する出金機出金口４６と、媒体としての紙幣が収納される紙幣収納空間５１から紙幣を分離して繰り出す分離繰出部３６を有する出金カセット２０とを設け、分離繰出部３６は、フィードローラ６４と、該フィードローラ６４と対向するゲートローラ６６とにより紙幣を分離する分離部６１と、フィードローラ６４と同軸においてフィードローラ６４に対し軸方向の外側に設けられ、紙幣を搬送する第１ローラ７０と、第１ローラ７０と当接し、該第１ローラ７０との間で紙幣を挟持するテンションローラ６８とを設け、第１ローラ７０は、該第１ローラ７０の外周面に亘って形成された第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇと、軸方向におけるフィードローラ６４から離間した側の端部に、第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇを含む第１ローラ７０の表面と少なくとも同等の径方向の高さのリブ７０Ｒｉｂを有するようにした。 According to the above configuration, the banknote dispensing machine 10 separates and feeds out banknotes from the banking machine outlet 51 for discharging banknotes to a customer and the banknote storage space 51 in which banknotes as media are stored. A dispensing cassette 20 having a feeding unit 36 is provided, and the separating and feeding unit 36 is coaxial with the feed roller 64, a separation unit 61 that separates banknotes by a gate roller 66 facing the feed roller 64, and the feed roller 64. A first roller 70 that is provided on the outer side in the axial direction with respect to the feed roller 64, and a tension roller 68 that is in contact with the first roller 70 and sandwiches the banknote between the first roller 70. The first roller 70 includes a first roller rubber portion 70G formed over the outer peripheral surface of the first roller 70 and an end portion on the side away from the feed roller 64 in the axial direction. And to have a height of the rib 70Rib at least equal to the radial surface of the first roller 70 including a first roller rubber portion 70G.
　これにより紙幣出金機１０は、第１ローラ７０が第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇにより紙幣を送り出す力を、リブ７０Ｒｉｂが形成されていない箇所よりもリブ７０Ｒｉｂが形成された箇所の方を弱めることができ、後続の紙幣をゲート部７２に留めることができる。 As a result, the banknote dispenser 10 can weaken the force at which the first roller 70 feeds the banknotes by the first roller rubber portion 70G at the portion where the rib 70Rib is formed rather than the portion where the rib 70Rib is not formed. The succeeding banknote can be fastened to the gate portion 72.
［２．第２の実施の形態］
［２－１．紙幣出金機の構成］
　図１に示すように第２の実施の形態による現金自動支払機１０１は、第１の実施の形態による現金自動支払機１と比較して、紙幣出金機１０に代わる紙幣出金機１１０を有する点において相違するものの、他の点においては同様に構成されている。図２に示すように紙幣出金機１１０は、第１の実施の形態による紙幣出金機１０と比較して、出金カセット２０（２０Ａ、２０Ｂ、２０Ｃ及び２０Ｄ）に代わる出金カセット１２０（１２０Ａ、１２０Ｂ、１２０Ｃ及び１２０Ｄ）を有する点において相違するものの、他の点においては同様に構成されている。図３に示すように出金カセット１２０は、第１の実施の形態による出金カセット２０（図３）と比較して、分離繰出部３６に代わる分離繰出部１３６を有する点において相違するものの、他の点においては同様に構成されている。 [2. Second Embodiment]
[2-1. Configuration of banknote dispensing machine]
As shown in FIG. 1, the cash dispenser 101 according to the second embodiment includes a banknote dispensing machine 110 that replaces the banknote dispensing machine 10 as compared with the cash dispenser 1 according to the first embodiment. Although it differs in the point which has, it is comprised similarly in another point. As shown in FIG. 2, the banknote dispensing machine 110 has a dispensing cassette 120 (20A, 20B, 20C and 20D) instead of the banknote dispensing machine 10 according to the first embodiment. 120A, 120B, 120C, and 120D), but the other configurations are the same. As shown in FIG. 3, the dispensing cassette 120 differs from the dispensing cassette 20 (FIG. 3) according to the first embodiment in that it has a separating and feeding part 136 instead of the separating and feeding part 36. In other respects, the configuration is the same.
［２－２．分離繰出部の構成］
　図６及び図７と対応する部材に同一符号を付した図１１及び図１２に示すように、第２の実施の形態による分離繰出部１３６は、第１の実施の形態による分離繰出部３６と比較して、第１ローラ７０（７０Ｌ及び７０Ｒ）に代わる第１ローラ１７０（１７０Ｌ及び１７０Ｒ）を有する点について相違するものの、他の点においては同様に構成されている。第１ローラ１７０は、第１の実施の形態による第１ローラ７０と比較して、リブ７０Ｒｉｂに代わるリブ１７０Ｒｉｂを有する点について相違するものの、他の点においては同様に構成されている。リブ１７０Ｒｉｂは、第１の実施の形態によるリブ７０Ｒｉｂと比較して、内側リブ７０ＲｉｂＩに代わる内側リブ１７０ＲｉｂＩを有する点について相違するものの、他の点においては同様に構成されている。なお図１２においてはフィードローラ６４のフィードローラゴム部６４Ｇを仮想的に破線で示している。 [2-2. Configuration of separation feeding unit]
As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 in which members corresponding to those in FIGS. 6 and 7 are given the same reference numerals, the separation feeding unit 136 according to the second embodiment is separated from the separation feeding unit 36 according to the first embodiment. In comparison, the first roller 170 (170L and 170R) instead of the first roller 70 (70L and 70R) is different, but the other points are similarly configured. The first roller 170 differs from the first roller 70 according to the first embodiment in that it has a rib 170Rib that replaces the rib 70Rib, but is configured similarly in other respects. The rib 170Rib differs from the rib 70Rib according to the first embodiment in that it has an inner rib 170RibI that replaces the inner rib 70RibI, but is configured similarly in other points. In FIG. 12, the feed roller rubber portion 64G of the feed roller 64 is virtually indicated by a broken line.
　内側リブ１７０ＲｉｂＩは、径方向の高さが、ローラ部７０Ｒｏｌ及び外側リブ７０ＲｉｂＯよりも低くなっている。このため図９と対応する部材に同一符号を付した図１３に示すように、接触部７４においてテンションローラ６８が第１ローラ７０におけるローラ部７０Ｒｏｌの第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇを押し付け、第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇが凹んだ際においても内側リブ１７０ＲｉｂＩは、ローラ部７０Ｒｏｌの第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇよりも径方向の内側に位置することとなる。これにより外側リブ７０ＲｉｂＯは紙幣ＢＬに接触するものの、内側リブ１７０ＲｉｂＩは紙幣に接触しなくなる。 The inner rib 170RibI is lower in the radial direction than the roller portion 70Rol and the outer rib 70RibO. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 13 in which members corresponding to those in FIG. 9 are denoted by the same reference numerals, the tension roller 68 presses the first roller rubber portion 70G of the roller portion 70Rol in the first roller 70 at the contact portion 74, and the first roller rubber portion. Even when 70G is recessed, the inner rib 170RibI is positioned more radially inward than the first roller rubber portion 70G of the roller portion 70Rol. As a result, the outer rib 70RibO contacts the banknote BL, but the inner rib 170RibI does not contact the banknote.
　このように分離繰出部１３６においては、紙幣ＢＬは内側リブ１７０ＲｉｂＩには接触せずに、外側リブ７０ＲｉｂＯのみに接触して変形するため、分離繰出部３６（図９）のように内側リブ７０ＲｉｂＩ及び外側リブ７０ＲｉｂＯの両方が紙幣ＢＬに接触して変形する場合と比較して、テンションローラ６８が第１ローラ１７０を押す力が紙幣を変形させる力は、片持ち梁と両持ち梁の計算により８分の１に減少する。 In this way, in the separating and feeding part 136, the bill BL does not contact the inner rib 170RibI but deforms by contacting only the outer rib 70RibO, so that the inner rib 70RibI and the separating rib 36RibI and the like as in the separating and feeding part 36 (FIG. 9). Compared to the case where both of the outer ribs 70RibO are deformed in contact with the bill BL, the force by which the tension roller 68 pushes the first roller 170 deforms the bill by the calculation of the cantilever and the cantilever beam. Decrease by a factor.
　ここで、図４に示したようにピッカローラ６２に対する軸方向の両外側には空間が空いており、押圧板５５（図３）によりピッカローラ６２に押し付けられた紙幣ＢＬは、該空間に向かって軸方向の両端部が後方へ撓むように変形することとなる。 Here, as shown in FIG. 4, there is a space on both outer sides in the axial direction with respect to the picker roller 62, and the bills BL pressed against the picker roller 62 by the pressing plate 55 (FIG. 3) are directed toward the space. Thus, both end portions in the axial direction are deformed so as to bend backward.
　図１４に示すように接触部７４よりも上流側においては、テンションローラ６８が第１ローラ１７０におけるローラ部７０Ｒｏｌの第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇに接触していない。このため第１ローラ１７０における外側リブ１７０ＲｉｂＯは、ローラ部７０Ｒｏｌの第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇと径方向においてほぼ同じ高さとなり、内側リブ１７０ＲｉｂＩは、第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇの径方向よりも低くなる。このとき紙幣ＢＬは、ピッカローラ６２によって軸方向の両端部が後方へ撓むように、すなわち第１ローラ７０における外側リブ１７０ＲｉｂＯへ近接するように変形しているため、外側リブ１７０ＲｉｂＯには接触するものの、第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇには強くは接触しない。 As shown in FIG. 14, on the upstream side of the contact portion 74, the tension roller 68 is not in contact with the first roller rubber portion 70G of the roller portion 70Rol of the first roller 170. For this reason, the outer rib 170RibO in the first roller 170 has substantially the same height in the radial direction as the first roller rubber portion 70G of the roller portion 70Rol, and the inner rib 170RibI is lower than the radial direction of the first roller rubber portion 70G. At this time, the bill BL is deformed so that both end portions in the axial direction are bent backward by the picker roller 62, that is, close to the outer rib 170RibO in the first roller 70, so that it contacts the outer rib 170RibO. It does not contact the first roller rubber portion 70G strongly.
［２－３．繰出動作］
　かかる構成において紙幣出金機１１０が繰出動作を行う際、紙幣ＢＬは、接触部７４において、図１３に示すように第１ローラ１７０における外側リブ７０ＲｉｂＯには接触する。また紙幣ＢＬは、テンションローラ６８により第１ローラ１７０におけるローラ部７０Ｒｏｌの第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇへ押し付けられて変形し、該第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇへ接触する。これにより先行する紙幣ＢＬｆは、図８（Ｂ）に示すように、第１ローラ１７０の第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇとテンションローラ６８とに挟み込まれることにより、ゲートローラ６６から紙幣ＢＬｆが受ける抵抗力よりも第１ローラ１７０とテンションローラ６８との搬送力が勝り、カセット内搬送路５８をカセット繰出口３７（図３）へ向かって搬送され、搬送部２２へ繰り出される。このとき、図８（Ｂ）に示すように、後続する紙幣ＢＬｎは、ゲート部７２に到達している。 [2-3. Feeding operation]
In this configuration, when the banknote dispensing machine 110 performs the feeding operation, the banknote BL contacts the outer rib 70RibO of the first roller 170 at the contact portion 74 as shown in FIG. The banknote BL is pressed against the first roller rubber part 70G of the roller part 70Rol of the first roller 170 by the tension roller 68 to be deformed, and comes into contact with the first roller rubber part 70G. As a result, the preceding bill BLf is sandwiched between the first roller rubber portion 70G of the first roller 170 and the tension roller 68 as shown in FIG. Also, the conveying force between the first roller 170 and the tension roller 68 is superior, and the first roller 170 and the tension roller 68 are conveyed through the in-cassette conveying path 58 toward the cassette feeding port 37 (FIG. 3) and fed to the conveying unit 22. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8B, the subsequent bill BLn has reached the gate portion 72.
　このとき図１４に示すように、接触部７４よりも上流側においては紙幣ＢＬがフィードローラ６４のフィードローラゴム無部６４Ｇｎに接触している。またテンションローラ６８が第１ローラ１７０におけるローラ部７０Ｒｏｌの第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇに接触していないため、第１ローラ１７０における外側リブ７０ＲｉｂＯはローラ部７０Ｒｏｌの第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇと径方向においてほぼ同じ高さとなっている。このため図１４に示すように紙幣ＢＬは、第１ローラ１７０における外側リブ７０ＲｉｂＯとローラ部７０Ｒｏｌの第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇとに接触するものの、該第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇに向けて押し付けられている訳ではないため、第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇとの間に発生する摩擦力は小さい。このとき図８（Ｂ）及び図８（Ｃ）に示すように紙幣ＢＬｎとフィードローラゴム無部６４Ｇｎ及び外側リブ７０ＲｉｂＯとの摩擦力Ｆ１３が紙幣ＢＬｎとゲートローラ６６との摩擦力Ｆ２よりも小さくなるため、紙幣ＢＬｎは接触部７４へ送られずにゲート部７２に留まる。 At this time, as shown in FIG. 14, the banknote BL is in contact with the non-feed roller rubber portion 64 </ b> Gn of the feed roller 64 on the upstream side of the contact portion 74. Further, since the tension roller 68 is not in contact with the first roller rubber portion 70G of the roller portion 70Rol in the first roller 170, the outer rib 70RibO in the first roller 170 is substantially the same in the radial direction as the first roller rubber portion 70G of the roller portion 70Rol. It is height. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 14, the banknote BL is in contact with the outer rib 70RibO of the first roller 170 and the first roller rubber part 70G of the roller part 70Rol, but is pressed against the first roller rubber part 70G. Therefore, the frictional force generated between the first roller rubber portion 70G is small. At this time, as shown in FIGS. 8B and 8C, the frictional force F13 between the banknote BLn, the non-feed roller rubber portion 64Gn and the outer rib 70RibO is smaller than the frictional force F2 between the banknote BLn and the gate roller 66. Therefore, the banknote BLn is not sent to the contact part 74 but stays at the gate part 72.
［２－４．効果等］
　以上の構成において分離繰出部１３６は、接触部７４において、紙幣を内側リブ１７０ＲｉｂＩには接触させずに、外側リブ７０ＲｉｂＯのみに接触させて変形させるようにした。このため分離繰出部１３６は、テンションローラ６８が第１ローラ１７０を押す力が紙幣を変形させる力を分離繰出部３６よりも弱くすることができる。これにより分離繰出部１３６は、紙幣の変形を最小限に抑え、分離繰出部３６よりも一層安定的に紙幣を搬送できる。 [2-4. Effect]
In the above-described configuration, the separating and feeding unit 136 is configured to cause the banknote to be deformed by contacting only the outer rib 70RibO in the contact unit 74 without contacting the inner rib 170RibI. For this reason, the separation feeding unit 136 can make the force with which the tension roller 68 presses the first roller 170 deforms the banknote weaker than the separation feeding unit 36. Thereby, the separation feeding unit 136 can suppress the deformation of the banknote to the minimum, and can transport the banknote more stably than the separation feeding unit 36.
　また、第１の実施の形態の分離繰出部３６のように、接触部７４においてローラ部７０Ｒｏｌの第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇよりも径方向の外側に突出した状態となる外側リブ７０ＲｉｂＯ及び内側リブ７０ＲｉｂＩが第１ローラ７０に設けられていると、紙幣が厚かったり硬かったりした場合、テンションローラ６８で紙幣を第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇに向けて押しても、図９のように該第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇと接触するまで紙幣が変形しない可能性がある。そのような場合、テンションローラ６８で紙幣を第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇに向けて押しても、テンションローラ６８で紙幣を第１ローラ７０に押し付けられなくなってしまう。 Further, like the separating and feeding portion 36 of the first embodiment, the outer rib 70RibO and the inner rib 70RibI that are in a state of projecting radially outward from the first roller rubber portion 70G of the roller portion 70Rol at the contact portion 74 are provided. When the banknote is thick or hard when it is provided on the first roller 70, even if the banknote is pushed toward the first roller rubber part 70G by the tension roller 68, it contacts the first roller rubber part 70G as shown in FIG. The bill may not be deformed until In such a case, even if the banknote is pushed toward the first roller rubber portion 70G by the tension roller 68, the banknote cannot be pressed against the first roller 70 by the tension roller 68.
　これに対し分離繰出部１３６は、接触部１７４においてローラ部７０Ｒｏｌの第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇよりも径方向の外側に内側リブ１７０ＲｉｂＩが突出しないようにした。 
このため分離繰出部１３６は、紙幣が厚かったり硬かったりしても、テンションローラ６８で紙幣を第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇに向けて押した際に、図１３のように該第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇと接触するまで紙幣を変形させることができる。これにより分離繰出部１３６は、テンションローラ６８で紙幣を第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇに向けて押した際に、テンションローラ６８で厚かったり硬かったりする紙幣を第１ローラ１７０に押し付けることができ、正常に紙幣を搬送できる。 On the other hand, the separation feeding portion 136 is configured such that the inner rib 170RibI does not protrude outward in the radial direction from the first roller rubber portion 70G of the roller portion 70Rol at the contact portion 174.
For this reason, even if the banknote is thick or hard, the separating and feeding part 136 contacts the first roller rubber part 70G as shown in FIG. 13 when the banknote is pushed toward the first roller rubber part 70G by the tension roller 68. The banknote can be deformed until it is done. As a result, when the banknote is pushed toward the first roller rubber part 70G by the tension roller 68, the separating and feeding part 136 can press the banknote that is thick or hard by the tension roller 68 against the first roller 170. Bills can be transported.
　また、押圧板５５によりピッカローラ６２に押し付けられた紙幣は、軸方向の両端部が第１ローラ１７０へ近接するように変形するため、図１４に示したように、第１ローラ１７０の内側リブ１７０ＲｉｂＩに紙幣が接触しなくても、外側リブ７０ＲｉｂＯに紙幣が接触する。このため分離繰出部１３６は、接触部７４よりも上流側において紙幣が第１ローラ１７０の第１ローラゴム部７０Ｇに強く接触してしまうことを防止し、紙幣をゲート部７２に留めておくことができる。 Further, since the banknote pressed against the picker roller 62 by the pressing plate 55 is deformed so that both end portions in the axial direction are close to the first roller 170, as shown in FIG. Even if a banknote does not contact 170RibI, a banknote contacts the outer rib 70RibO. For this reason, the separation feeding part 136 prevents the banknote from coming into strong contact with the first roller rubber part 70G of the first roller 170 on the upstream side of the contact part 74, and keeps the banknote at the gate part 72. it can.
　その他第２の実施の形態による紙幣出金機１１０は、第１の実施の形態による紙幣出金機１０と同様の作用効果を奏する。 Others The banknote dispensing machine 110 according to the second embodiment has the same effects as the banknote dispensing machine 10 according to the first embodiment.

In short, the paper surface of the banknote and the first roller rubber part such that the frictional force F3 between the banknote BLn and the feed roller rubberless part 64Gn and the rib 70Rib is smaller than the frictional force F2 between the banknote BLn and the gate roller 66 in the gate part 72.
