Description

  The present invention relates to a banknote storage and feeding device of a banknote recognition apparatus mounted on a banknote depositing and dispensing machine or a vending machine used in a financial institution or the like, in particular, storing a banknote by winding it on a roller together with a tape, The present invention relates to a banknote storage and feeding apparatus that pays out banknotes by rewinding a tape.

  A banknote storage and feeding device that stores banknotes together with tape and feeds the banknotes by rewinding the tape can store a large number of banknotes in a small volume. This has the advantage that it can be easily taken out without the need for the feeding means.

  As the banknote storage and feeding device of the above method, for example, as seen in Patent Document 1, two tapes are used, and one end side of each tape is wound around two winding rollers for winding only the tape, The other end of each tape is configured to be wound on a single take-up roller that winds the tape and banknote together, and is a two-tape type that stores and feeds the banknote between two tapes. For example, as shown in Patent Document 2, a single tape is used, and both ends of the tape are wound around a winding roller that winds only the tape, and a winding roller that winds the tape and banknotes together. A one-tape type is known in which when a single tape is wound, a bill is sandwiched between the tape and stored and delivered.

  The above-described apparatus cannot store or pay out bills unless tension is always applied to the tape regardless of the number of tapes. Therefore, conventionally, a motor as a driving means is provided on each of the take-up roller side for taking up only the tape and on the take-up roller side for taking up the tape and banknotes together, and each take-up roller is on the side for taking up the tape. The motor is driven to rotate, and on the side where the tape is rewound, a torque limiter is interposed so that the motor does not rotate and acts as a rotational resistance, or the motor rotation speeds on the winding side and the rewinding side are controlled. By doing so, it was devised so that tension was always given to the tape.

However, the above apparatus requires at least two motors as driving means for driving the take-up roller, so that there are problems such as a large weight, a large space, and a high cost. Therefore, the present applicant needs only one motor as a driving means for driving the take-up roller, which is excellent in all aspects of weight, space and cost, and does not apply excessive tension to the tape, and breaks the tape. Has been developed and a patent has been obtained (Patent Document 3: Japanese Patent No. 3466287).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-128854 JP 58-125558 A Japanese Patent No. 3466287 JP-A-8-96191 Japanese Patent No. 3324528 JP 2001-118113 A

  Now, as described above, the bill storage and feeding device of the above system includes a two-tape type device that stores and feeds a bill between two tapes as described above, and when one tape is wound up. A single-tape type that stores and feeds bills with a tape is known.

  The two-tape type is inferior in principle in terms of the effect of reducing the volume as compared with the single-tape type. On the other hand, the single tape type has a drawback that it is necessary to separately provide a bill guide for feeding bills and the like. Although the patent document 4 by this applicant discloses the specific structure of a suitable banknote guide, it can be said that it is inferior to a 2 tape type thing at the point that a banknote guide cannot be made unnecessary. In addition, Patent Document 5 and Patent Document 6 disclose a specific configuration of the bill guide, but it is also inferior to the two-tape type in that the bill guide cannot be made unnecessary.

  The present invention has been made in view of the circumstances as described above, and is capable of storing bills such that the installation of a bill guide can be made unnecessary while being inferior to that of a single tape type in the effect of reducing the volume. An object is to provide a feeding device.

And is moved along the orbit according to the rotation of the conveying device driving shaft 45b and the conveying belt driving roller.

  As is apparent from FIGS. 1 and 2, in each set, the upper belt 50 (60) and the lower belt 70 (80) overlap with a predetermined interval (offset) in the vertical direction (vertical direction). It is arranged in such a trajectory. Moreover, the width | variety of each belt 50, 60, 70, 80 and the space | interval between two sets of belts are selected so that a banknote can be hold | maintained with sufficient balance.

  In addition, it is common that a sensor S for detecting banknotes is provided above and below the movement trajectory of banknotes between two sets of belts. Further, the upper transport device drive shaft 45a and the lower transport device drive shaft 45b have opposite rotation directions and rotate synchronously.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the first and second lower tapes 10, 30 are guided from the peripheral surfaces of the first and second lower tape take-up rollers 11, 31, respectively. 12, 32 and final guide rollers 13, 33, so as to reach the peripheral surface of the take-up roller 14 such as banknotes. The banknote roll-up roller 14 is rotated by a banknote roll-up shaft 44. A bill winding shaft 44 is disposed horizontally at the center of the inside of the bill storage / delivery device 1, and is driven by a motor M in a normal rotation direction and a reverse rotation direction. It is rotated by various rotation drive transmission means G.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the upper tape 20 is first wound around the banknote winding roller 14 by one extra turn so as to be wound around the banknote winding roller 14. The state of the bill B after being taken can be maintained flat.

  Here, the guide rollers 12 and 32 are rotatably supported by a guide roller support shaft 42b provided at the lower part of the apparatus, and the final guide rollers 13 and 33 are lower conveying devices as final guide roller support shafts. The driven roller support shaft 43b is rotatably supported. That is, the final guide rollers 13 and 33 are one side (lower side) tape transport device side rollers.

  In the present embodiment, the final guide rollers 13 and 33 are positioned outside the conveyance belt driven rollers 52 and 62 provided on the lower conveyance device driven roller support shaft 43b, respectively (see FIG. 1). The diameters of the final guide rollers 13 and 33 are substantially the same as the diameters of the conveying belt driven rollers 52 and 62.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the upper tape 20 passes from the circumferential surface of the upper tape winding roller 21 to the circumferential surface of the banknote winding roller 14 via the guide roller 22 and the final guide roller 23. It has come to.

  Here, the guide roller 22 is rotatably supported by a guide roller support shaft 42a provided at the upper part of the apparatus, and the final guide roller 23 is an upper conveying device driven roller support shaft 43a as a final guide roller support shaft. Is rotatably supported. That is, the final guide roller 23 is a roller on the other side (upper side) tape transport device side.

  In the present embodiment, the final guide roller 23 is positioned between the conveyance belt driven rollers 52 and 62 provided on the upper conveyance device driven roller support shaft 43a. The diameter of the final guide roller 23 is substantially the same as the diameter of the conveyance belt driven roller.

  According to the arrangement relationship as described above, the final guide rollers 13 and 33 (one side tape transport device side roller) and the final guide roller 23 (other side tape transport device side roller) are at a predetermined interval (offset). It will be arranged with a gap. That is, the first and second lower tapes 10 and 30 and the upper tape 20 can maintain a predetermined offset in the tape thickness direction in the vicinity of the transport device (see FIG. 2).

  The lengths of the guide tracks of the first and second lower tapes 10 and 30 and the guide track of the upper tape 20 are different. In the present embodiment, since the tape take-up rollers 11, 21, and 31 rotate together, the difference in length needs to be adjusted. Basically, the length is adjusted when the tips of the tapes 10, 20, and 30 are fixed to the peripheral surface of the banknote and other winding roller. However, as the feeding (or winding) of the tapes 10, 20, and 30 progresses, the positions at which the tapes 10, 20, and 30 are fed out (or wound up) from the tape winding rollers 11, 21, and 31, respectively. Since it changes, it is necessary to install some kind of adjustment mechanism known per se, but the description thereof is omitted here.

  Next, the case where a banknote is accommodated is demonstrated about the effect | action of the banknote accommodation delivery apparatus 1 of this Embodiment.

  In this case, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the first lower tape winding roller 11 is in a state where a sufficient amount (length) of the first lower tape 10 is wound, A sufficient amount (length) of the upper tape 20 is wound on the upper tape winding roller 21, and a sufficient amount (length) is wound on the second lower tape winding roller 31. It is assumed that the second lower tape 30 is wound.

  From this state, the tape take-up shaft 41 is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 2 by the rotation of the drive shaft MS. At this time, in conjunction with the rotation of the tape winding shaft 41, the banknote winding shaft 44 is also rotated. Thereby, rewinding of each tape 10, 20, 30 is started. Here, by using a torque limiter (not shown) or the like, the tensions of the tapes 10, 20, and 30 are maintained substantially constant.

  On the other hand, driving of the conveyor belts 50, 60, 70, and 80 of the conveyor is also started, and bills are sequentially conveyed. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 3, the first and second lower tapes 10 and 30 abut and support the lower side of the bill B, and the upper tape 20 abuts the upper side of the bill B. Thus, the bill B is stably held by the three tapes 10, 20, 30. And the banknote B and the three tapes 10, 20, and 30 are wound around the winding rollers 14, such as a banknote, in the state.

Here, it is an important feature that the first and second one-side tapes 10 and 30 and the other-side tape 20 do not overlap in the tape thickness direction. Because of this feature, as shown in FIG. 4, the effect of reducing the volume is not inferior to that of the single tape type. That is, the diameter D ₁ of the bill, such as take-up roller 14 when accommodating the bills or the like, as compared to the diameter D _c of the case of the two tape-conventional shown in FIG. 5, significantly reduced.

  And in this Embodiment, since it is the structure which contacts and accommodates the banknote B by the lower tapes 10 and 30 and the upper tape 20 from both sides (upper side and lower side), a banknote guide is not installed. However, it is possible to securely store bills.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the upper tape 20 is wound around the corresponding portion of the banknote roll-up roller 14 (the portion corresponding to the width of the upper tape 20) around which the upper tape 20 is wound. The state of the banknote B after being wound around the winding roller 14 such as banknotes can be kept flat by winding it extra.

  As described above, when the storing operation of the bill B to be stored is completed, the drive shaft MS is stopped. Normally, the number of banknotes B stored is counted by the banknote detection sensor S. For example, when the banknotes B are stored and become full, further receipt is stopped.

  Note that the rotational drive control of each drive shaft during bill storage is performed so that the winding speed of the tape 10, 20, 30 on the winding roller 14 such as banknotes is about 5 to 25% higher than the transport speed of the transport device. Are preferred. By such control, an effect of drawing the banknote B is obtained, and jamming of the banknote B is prevented.

  Next, the operation of the bill storage / delivery device 1 of the present embodiment will be described in the case where bills are paid out.

  In this case, it is assumed that the banknote winding roller 14 is in a state where the first lower tape 10, the upper tape 20, and the second lower tape 30 are wound together with the banknote B. Conversely, the first lower tape winding roller 11 does not wind up the first lower tape 10, and the upper tape winding roller 21 does not wind up the upper tape 20. It is assumed that the second lower tape winding roller 31 does not wind up the second lower tape 30.

  From this state, the banknote winding shaft 44 is rotated clockwise in FIG. 2 by the rotation of the drive shaft MS. At this time, the tape winding shaft 41 is also rotated in conjunction with the rotation of the banknote winding shaft 44. Thereby, winding of each tape 10,20,30 is started. Here, by using a torque limiter (not shown) or the like, the tensions of the tapes 10, 20, and 30 are maintained substantially constant.

  On the other hand, the driving of the transport belts 50, 60, 70, 80 of the transport device is also started (in the direction opposite to the banknote storing direction), and preparations for banknote feeding are completed. Thereby, the banknote B stably hold | maintained with the three tapes 10, 20, and 30 is delivered to a conveyance apparatus, and withdrawn. The tapes 10, 20, and 30 are wound around the tape winding rollers 11, 21, and 31, respectively.

  In the present embodiment, since the bill B is configured to be abutted and supported by the lower tape 10, 30 and the upper tape 20 from both sides (upper and lower sides), the bill guide need not be installed. A bill can be reliably delivered.

  As described above, when the feeding operation of the bill B to be dispensed is completed, the drive shaft MS is stopped. Usually, the number of banknotes B to be dispensed is counted by the banknote detection sensor S. For example, when the banknote B is dispensed and becomes empty, further payout is stopped.

  In addition, the rotational drive control of each drive shaft at the time of banknote payment is such that the transport speed of the transport device is about 5 to 25% greater than the wind speed of the tape 10, 20, 30 on the banknote winding roller 14. Preferably, it is done. By such control, the effect of pulling out the bill B is obtained, and jamming of the bill B is prevented.

  In the above embodiment, the first and second lower tape take-up rollers 11 and 31 and the upper tape take-up roller 22 are arranged in an offset state in the tape width direction, and a common tape take-up is performed. It is rotated together by the take-up shaft 41. This greatly contributes to space saving and cost reduction of the apparatus.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the upper tape 20 is wound around the corresponding portion of the take-up roller 14 such as a banknote (the portion corresponding to the width of the upper tape 20) around which the upper tape 20 is wound up by one extra turn. The state of the banknote B after being wound around the winding roller 14 such as banknotes can be kept flat.

  Moreover, although this Embodiment hold | maintains the banknote B with the combination of the lower tape 10 / upper tape 20 / lower tape 30, the combination of an upper tape / lower tape / upper tape can also be employ | adopted, Further, a tape can be added. That is, lower tape / upper tape / upper tape / lower tape, upper tape / lower tape / lower tape / upper tape, upper tape / lower tape / upper tape / lower tape, lower tape / upper tape / Lower tape / Upper tape, Upper tape / Lower tape / Upper tape / Lower tape / Upper tape, Lower tape / Upper tape / Lower tape / Upper tape / Lower tape, etc.

  Furthermore, the structure which set the attitude | position of the banknote B accommodated thru | or taking out vertically instead of horizontal is also employable.

  Next, the banknote storing and feeding apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
