BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a paper sheet processing apparatus adapted to be applied to, for example, a deposit box of a paper money dispenser. The paper sheet processing in which the paper sheets stored in more detail are naturally aligned and stored to enhance paper sheet conveying performance. It relates to an apparatus and a banknote dispenser.

Hereinafter, the case where it applies to the bank opening of a banknote dispenser is illustrated. As shown in FIG. 7, the recess has a concave accommodating portion 73 which allows banknotes A ... to be stored in an inclined state of the transverse length in the accommodating plate 71 and the bottom plate 72 surrounding the circumferential side. Is formed in the depositing direction 74, the pressed banknotes 75 are pressed by the pressing plate 75 on the back side of the accumulation direction of the recessed accommodating portion 73, and the pressed banknotes are pressed. Pick-up rollers 76 are disposed opposite to each other at the position of receiving (A…) to transfer bills corresponding to the pick-up rollers 76 one by one, and feed rollers in the feed direction 77 thereof. The 78 and the gate roller 79 are arrange | positioned, and the banknote A ... is conveyed one by one.

By the way, in consideration of the contact between the banknote A put into the recessed accommodating portion 73 and the pick-up roller 76 in the transport position, such a billing portion is formed by the recessed accommodating portion ( 73) to ensure contact with banknotes.

However, when the inclination angle of the storage plate 71 under the inclined side which receives the banknote of the concave storage unit 73 is small, the banknotes A.... Since the ratio of leaning against the 71 side increases, when a plurality of banknotes are fed, the tip of the inclined bottom banknote A1 located on the storage plate 71 on the lower side of the inclined side has a large frictional resistance. ), This inclined lower banknote A1 may be in an unstable accumulation state without dropping to the normal storage position. When the transfer operation is performed in this state, emptying occurs, banknotes A accumulated next are unstablely transferred, or overlapping with the previously accumulated banknotes A1 occurs. In this case, jams were easily caused in the conveying part.

Therefore, the present invention focuses on allowing one storage port to be changed into a storage guide state and a transport state, and is provided with a storage guide guide member which is free to go in and out of the storage port, so that the sheets stored therein can be naturally aligned and integrated and transported stably. It is an object of the present invention to provide a paper sheet processing apparatus and a banknote dispenser.

The invention according to claim 1, wherein the paper sheet is removed from the storage port on the basis of the rotational driving force of the pick-up roller which faces the storage port for storing the paper sheets and is disposed below the accumulated paper sheets. A paper sheet processing apparatus provided with a conveying means for conveying a sheet into the apparatus one by one, the paper sheet being projected more than the amount of protrusion of the pickup roller facing the storage port, It is provided with the sheet | seat guide | guide member for paper sheet accommodation guide arrange | positioned below, and the said moving member which protrudes at the time of paper sheet storage, and retreats at the time of paper sheet conveyance. It is characterized by the above-mentioned.

The invention according to claim 2 is provided with a pressing plate which opposes the pick-up roller and presses on the pick-up roller side at the time of conveying paper sheets, the press plate being moved to a pressing position for pressing, and the guide member It is characterized by linking the movement of the movable means to retract.

The invention according to claim 3 is characterized in that it is a banknote teller machine which applies banknotes to the object of processing of the paper sheet processing apparatus, and deposits and withdraws.

According to the present invention, when storing sheets of paper in the storage port, the movable means is driven to protrude more than the amount of protrusion of the pickup roller facing the storage port, so that the guide sheet for paper sheet storage guide provided in the pickup roller protrudes more. On the other hand, when conveying paper sheets from a storage opening, the paper sheet storing guide guide member is set back rather than the protrusion amount of a pickup roller.

As a result, the paper sheets accommodated in the storage port contact the guide member having a large amount of protrusion at the storage port, and do not contact the pickup roller having a large frictional resistance, thereby completely eliminating the occurrence of storage obstacles and smoothing the paper sheets. I can receive it in a normal storing position. Therefore, even if the paper sheet inclination angle of the storage port is small, the paper sheet can be stored stably, and the paper sheets are aligned and stacked. The conveying operation can be obtained, and the paper conveying performance can be improved.

In addition, a pressure plate that presses against the pickup roller side at the time of conveying paper sheets is provided so as to face the pickup roller, and the pressure plate moves to the pressing position for pressing, and the movable means for retracting the guide member. By forming the interlocking connection with each other, the pressure plate and the guide member can be interlocked with one driving source with good efficiency, and space can be saved and cost can be reduced due to the reduction of the number of parts.

By using a banknote teller machine which applies a banknote to a subject of processing of such a sheet processing apparatus and processes a deposit and withdrawal, it is possible to improve the reception performance at the time of banknote deposit and the conveyance performance of the banknote.

Example

An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 shows a banknote teller machine 11 used for banknote deposit and withdrawal processing, and the banknote teller machine 11 has an input operation unit 13 for setting the deposit and withdrawal on the upper front face of the apparatus main body 12 having a rectangle. And a deposit opening 14, a withdrawal opening 15, and a return opening 16.

As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the above-described deposit hole 14 is a concave accommodating portion for accommodating the banknotes A ... in the inclined state of the transverse length in the storage plate 21 and the bottom plate 22. 23 is formed with respect to the deposit direction 24 of the inclined downward direction, the press plate 25 is arrange | positioned at one side of the banknote insertion direction of this recessed accommodating part 23, and the press plate 25 at the other side. The pick-up roller 26 and the storage guide lever 27 which receive the banknote A ... pressed by () are opposingly provided.

The pickup roller 26 arranged for the initial transfer faces a part of the outer circumferential surface from the roller opening window 28 of the housing plate 21 to the concave housing 23 so as to be in contact with the banknote at the time of transferring the banknote. To secure.

Moreover, the storage guide lever 27 is provided in the both sides of the pick-up roller 26 in order to improve the storing performance of a banknote. These storage guide levers 27 face the front surface 27a of the lever from the lever opening window 29 of the storage plate 21 to the concave housing 23, respectively. At this time, the front surface 27a of the lever It protrudes in parallel with the storage plate 21, and protrudes more than the protrusion amount of the pick-up roller 26 which faced the recessed accommodating part 23. As shown in FIG.

Can be stored in alignment. Therefore, even if the inclination angle for banknote accumulation inclined by the recessed accommodating part 23 is small, it can be stored stably by the storing guide action of the storage guide lever 27, and banknote A ... Since it is aligned and integrated in the payment part 23, even when conveyed from this stable alignment accumulation state, the stable conveyance operation | movement with which the generation | occurrence | production element of a jam was eliminated is obtained. Moreover, since the storage guide lever 27 makes contact resistance with the banknote A small, it is suitable to make the front surface 27a of the lever smooth and narrow.

In addition, the storage guide lever 27 is formed to be movable to a protruding position for storing and guiding the banknotes and a retracted position without difficulty in the transfer of the banknotes, and as shown in FIG. ), The press plate 25 is advanced and the bills A stored therein are pushed to the pick-up roller 26 side to transfer the bills A… contacted with the pick-up rollers 26, and the The feed roller 31 and the gate roller 32 are arrange | positioned in the conveyance direction 30, and a banknote A is conveyed one by one.

In addition, the pressing plate 25 is externally formed by changing the colors of the storage plate 21, the pressing plate 25, and the storage guide lever 27 forming the concave housing 23 with respect to the entrance 14. You can clearly see the movement of the eye. For this reason, a user can confirm the deposit processing state in the recessed accommodating part 23. FIG.

FIG. 5 shows an interlock mechanism 33 for linking the pressing movement for moving the pressing plate 25 in the banknote pressing direction and the retreating movement for retracting the storage guide lever 27. It consists of one accommodating guide lever link mechanism 34 which makes one drive motor the drive source, and the other press plate link mechanism 35. As shown in FIG.

One storage guide lever link mechanism 34 is provided between a drive shaft 36 that rotates in response to a driving force from a motor (not shown), and a rotation point shaft 37 serving as an operating point of the storage guide lever 27 described above. Is connected via the first link member L1, the second link member L2, and the third link member L3, and the first link is normally applied when the driving force is not applied when the motor is OFF. The storage guide lever 27 is in the banknote accommodating guide state which protruded to the recessed accommodating part 23 based on the tension of the 1st return spring 38 attached to the member L1.

FIG. Then, the storing guide lever 27 retreats, the pressing plate 25 advances, presses the bill and presses it to the pickup roller 26 side for transfer operation. Moreover, the banknote detection sensor S which detects the presence or absence of banknote A ... is arrange | positioned in the recessed accommodating part 23, and the process state is confirmed.

The banknote storing operation | movement with respect to the deposit opening 14 of the banknote teller 11 comprised in this way is demonstrated next.

Typically, as shown in FIG. 2, the presser 14 has the pressing plate 25 retracted to the rear, and the receiving guide lever 27 opposite to this is slightly smaller than the protrusion amount of the pickup roller 26. It protrudes a lot and is in the storage guide state which completely prevented the banknote A ... injected here from contacting the protrusion part of the pickup roller 26.

Therefore, the banknotes A.... Housed in the deposit opening 14 come into contact with the lever front face 27a of the storage guide lever 27 having a large amount of protrusion in the concave receiving portion 23 whose upper surface is open. There is no contact with the pickup roller 26 at all. For this reason, it becomes the storage which eliminated the generation | occurrence | production element of a storage obstacle completely, and arranges and integrates all bank notes A ... to the normal storage position based on the bottom plate 22 below smoothly.

Subsequently, when conveying the bank notes A ... from this deposit opening 14 ', as shown in FIGS. 4-6, the motor of the interlocking mechanism 33 is driven, and based on this, the storage guide lever ( The lever front surface 27a of 27 is retreated more than the amount of protrusion of the pickup roller 26. In addition, in synchronization with this, the pressing plate 25 moves to the front pressing position to press the banknotes A.... Which are integrated and stacked, and the pressed banknotes A of the pickup rollers 26 are pressed. The conveying operation is performed based on the rotational driving force. At this time, in the recessed accommodating part 23, since banknotes A ... are in an integrated state of accumulation, it becomes the most suitable conveyance condition at the time of conveyance of a banknote, and a stable conveyance operation is obtained.

As mentioned above, when storing bank notes, the storage guide lever provided in the said pick-up roller protrudes more than the protrusion amount of the pick-up roller facing the recessed accommodating part. Since it is in contact with (1) and does not come into contact with the pickup roller having a large frictional resistance, the storage obstacle can be completely eliminated and the banknote can be smoothly stored and guided to the normal storage position. For this reason, even if the banknote stacking inclination angle of the bank is small, the banknote can be stored smoothly, and since the banknotes are aligned and stacked, even when the banknotes are transferred therefrom, a highly reliable conveying operation that eliminates the occurrence of jam is obtained. , Can improve the transfer performance of bills.

Here, a storage guide lever freely coming and going with respect to the recessed housing portion of the entrance and exit is formed, and the recessed operation of the storage guide lever allows both of the recessed storage portions to be changed into the storage guide state and the transfer state to have both functions. As a result, the bills stored therein can be naturally aligned and discharged stably.

In addition, by forming the interlock mechanism, the pressure plate and the storage guide lever can be efficiently linked with one driving source, and the space can be saved and the cost can be reduced due to the reduction of the number of parts. Moreover, when it applies to a banknote dispenser, the reception performance at the time of banknote deposit and the conveyance performance of a banknote can be improved.
