Description

Paper leaf handling device {PAPER SHEET HANDLING DEVICE}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a paper sheet handling apparatus that is operated by an operator such as a customer and performs dispensing or retracting of paper sheets (paper sheets, etc.) in accordance with an operation.

Background Art [0002] In recent years, sheet handling devices, such as cash automatic transaction devices, which are installed in stores of financial institutions such as banks, and which perform receipt or disbursement of banknotes such as deposit or withdrawal, are spreading based on operations of operators such as customers. .

The paper sheet handling device can receive and withdraw a banknote, thereby making it possible to conduct a transaction in a financial institution such as a deposit transaction, a withdrawal transaction or a payment substitute transaction.

In the case of a withdrawal transaction, by the operator's instruction, the banknotes stored in the apparatus are conveyed to the entry and exit port using a conveyance mechanism such as a roller and a belt, and the banknotes are issued to the customer.

In the case of a deposit transaction, the operator instructs and puts the banknote which put into the deposit and withdrawal slot in the apparatus, and is accommodated.

Usually, these sheet handling apparatuses have input and output banks for inserting and dispensing banknotes, authenticity of banknotes, a discriminating unit for discriminating paper types, front and rear alignment units for aligning front and back of banknotes, and a storage case (banknote cassette). ), And a temporary storage part for temporarily storing banknotes, and an exclusion failure ticket recovery part for recovering banknotes which were not recognized as normal rights in the discriminating part among the banknotes extracted from the storage case.

In the structure of each part mentioned above, although many storage cases were provided in many cases, only one discrimination part, the temporary storage part, the front and back alignment part, the exclusion failure right collection part etc. were provided in many cases. By the way, from the viewpoint of the improvement of the operation rate of the apparatus main body and the improvement of the efficiency of maintenance work, the thing which accommodated the some storage case of the replaceable form in the apparatus main body has been put to practical use.

Here, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, let's consider the transfer of the banknote between the banknote conveyance part 101 and the banknote accommodating part 102 in the sheet | leaf handling apparatus 100. FIG. At this time, suppose that the jam of the banknote 107 occurred in one banknote cassette 103A among the plurality of banknote cassettes 103A, 103B,...

In this case, when the plurality of banknote cassettes 103A, 103B, ... are drawn out in the arrow A direction (horizontal direction) for the jam processing, the banknote 107 is formed between the roller 105A and the roller 105B, and the roller ( It fits between 106A) and the roller 106B, and also between the opposing surfaces of the banknote conveyance part 101 and the banknote accommodating part 102.

For this reason, several banknote cassettes 103A, 103B, ... cannot be taken out in an arrow A direction (horizontal direction), and jam processing becomes difficult.

On the other hand, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, the space | interval of roller pair 105A, 105B can be considered, and the method of not remaining a banknote between roller 105A and roller 105B can be considered. . However, this method, on the contrary, causes the paper money to reach the roller on the receiving side and cause jams.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the method of retracting one roller 105A upward among roller pairs 105A and 105B can be considered. In this case, however, a mechanism for retracting the roller 105A is required. And if this evacuation mechanism becomes complicated, it will lead to a cost increase.

On the other hand, in order to perform jam processing simply, although it is good to take out banknote cassette 103A, 103B, ... in the arrow A direction (horizontal direction) of FIG. 1, the banknote conveyance part 101 and banknote accommodating part ( Banknotes are jammed between 102, and the banknote cassettes 103A, 103B, ... cannot be taken out.

Therefore, in order to withdraw the bill cassettes 103A, 103B, ... so that the bills are not jammed, for example, the bill acceptor container 102 is moved downward with respect to the bill conveyance unit 101, thereby providing a space therebetween. It is thought to be formed.

The present invention relates to a drawing structure of such a cassette and the like, and a technique related to Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 is known in the art.

Patent Literature 1 discloses a technique in which a slide member fixed to a cassette for storing paper is inclined by a guide member so as to lower the drawer side of the cassette, and the slide member is held when the cassette is taken out. .

Patent Literature 2 discloses a technique in which a storage box is stored in a furniture frame having an open front surface, and the storage box can be pulled out obliquely downward along the inclined rail of the side wall of the furniture frame.

[Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-231061 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-287767

However, in Patent Document 1, although the paper cassette is taken out obliquely downward, in the case where the paper cassette is a heavy object, the paper cassette must be prevented from sticking out when taken out. In addition, if the jumping-out prevention mechanism is made firm, the apparatus becomes large. In addition, when space is limited below the apparatus, simply pulling the paper cassette out at an angle may collide with another member or the ground.

The same applies to Patent Document 2. For this reason, simply pulling out the paper cassette or storage box at an angle does not solve the problem.

Is a diagram showing another embodiment of the evacuation mechanism 60.

13 is a figure which shows the state when the banknote container accommodating part 30 which retracted obliquely downward was pulled out further in the horizontal direction, and FIG. 14 has taken out the sheet | leaf accommodating part 30. FIG. Sectional drawing of the floating mechanism 70 at the time, FIG. 15 is sectional drawing of the floating mechanism 70 at the time of attaching the paper sheet accommodation part 30. FIG.

In addition, in this embodiment, the paper sheet accommodation part 30 is a case which detachably holds the some banknote cassette 32, and a cassette holder corresponds, for example.

In addition, in FIG. 5, FIG. 10, etc., although the number of banknote cassettes 32 accommodated differs, it does not mean a substantial change.

As shown in FIG. 8, the sheet | leaf handling apparatus 10 is arrange | positioned facing the banknote conveyance part 20 which conveys the banknote which is thrown in or discharged, and the banknote conveyance part 20, and is opposed, and conveys a banknote conveyance part. A plurality of banknote cassettes 32 for storing banknotes received between (20) and (transfer conveyance path 21 ') are provided. These banknote cassette 32 is accommodated in the paper sheet storage part 30 so that attachment or detachment is possible.

The banknote conveyance part 20 is supported by the main body frame 74. As shown in FIG. Moreover, while the paper sheet accommodation part 30 is able to move back and forth by the retraction mechanism 60, it is supported by the main body frame 74 via the floating mechanism 70. As shown in FIG. In addition, these evacuation mechanism 60 and the floating mechanism 70 are mentioned later.

Here, as shown in FIG. 9, a banknote conveyance part is made by moving the sheet | leaf accommodation body 30 to the banknote conveyance part 20 (transfer conveyance path 21 ') obliquely downward (B direction). As the space | interval between 20 and the sheet | leaf accommodation accommodating part 30 becomes wider, the clearance gap C arises between them. In this way, the jam banknote is pulled out from one of the roller pairs 18A and 18B and the roller pairs 19A and 19B, thereby eliminating the jam. That is, it will be in the state fitted only to either roller pair.

In addition, as shown in FIG.10 and FIG.11, the sheet | leaf handling apparatus 10 allows the sheet | leaf accommodation body 30 to retract a predetermined amount obliquely downward (B direction) with respect to the banknote conveyance part 20. As shown in FIG. The evacuation mechanism 60 and the floating mechanism 70 for perturbably supporting the banknote accommodating portion 30 which has been evacuated downward at an oblique angle in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the up and down direction while allowing the upward movement thereof. Equipped.

The retraction mechanism 60 has a bottom surface facing the front roller 62 and the rear roller 64 attached to the bottom of the banknote accommodating portion 30 and the front roller 62 and the rear roller 64. It has the front taper rail 63 and the rear taper rail 65 arrange | positioned at. Moreover, the front taper rail 63 and the rear taper rail 65 have the inclined surface in which the front part of the extraction direction (D direction) is low, and the rear part is inclined high.

The front roller 62 and the front taper rail 63, the rear roller 64, and the rear taper rail 65 are further separated from each other in the withdrawal direction at predetermined intervals before and after the withdrawal direction of the banknote accommodating portion 30. It is formed in pairs on the left and right sides of the orthogonal direction. In addition, the diameters of the front and rear rollers 62 and 64 are equal, and the inclination angles of the front and rear taper rails 63 and 65 are also formed equally. However, this diameter and inclination angle can be set arbitrarily. That is, the banknote accommodating part 30 moves in parallel with the banknote conveyance part 20, maintaining a horizontal state.

By this retraction mechanism 60, the sheet | leaf accommodation body 30 can be retracted by the predetermined quantity (for example, 6 mm) obliquely downward (B direction of FIG. 10) with respect to the sheet | leaf conveyance part 20. As shown in FIG.

In addition, the paper sheet container accommodating portion 30 is obliquely moved downward at an angle so that the paper sheet accommodating portion 30 containing the plurality of bill cassettes 32 is a heavy object. This is because there is a risk of accompanying an impact.

In addition, in this embodiment, although the case where the banknote accommodating part 30 was retracted obliquely downward was demonstrated, it is not limited to this. For example, you may retract a banknote accommodating part 30 directly under the pulley system with respect to the banknote conveyance part 20. FIG. However, also in this case, it is necessary to move slowly in order to alleviate the impact by the fall of the paper sheet accommodation part 30 which is a heavy object.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11, after moving the paper sheet accommodation part 30 obliquely downward, and pulling out this paper storage accommodation part 30 to a horizontal direction (D direction), a rear roller is carried out. The left and right width W1 of the front rollers 62 and 62 and the left and right width W2 of the rear rollers 64 and 64 are alternately arranged so that 64 does not collide with the front taper rail 63. This is to prevent the rear rollers 64 and 64 from colliding with the front tapered rail 63 when the banknote accommodating portion 30 is moved in the D direction.

FIG. 12: is a figure which shows another embodiment of the evacuation mechanism 60, and attaches | subjects the same code | symbol to the member same as FIG.

In this embodiment, the front roller 62 and the front roller 62 do not collide with the front tapered rail 63 when the paper sheet housing body 30 is retracted obliquely downward and then pulled out in the horizontal direction. The attachment position of the rear roller 64 in the up-down direction (height direction) is changed.

That is, in FIG. 12, the sheet | leaf accommodation body 30 is pulled out horizontally from the position where the lower end surface of the rear roller 64 retreated downward by the height H. In FIG. However, in this embodiment, since the height position of the rear roller 64 is changed, even if the paper sheet accommodation part 30 is pulled out in the horizontal direction from this height position H, the rear roller 64 is a front taper rail ( There is no conflict with 63).

Next, the floating mechanism 70 will be described.

As shown in FIG. 10, the guide rail 71 as a guide member fixed to the main body frame 74 (refer FIG. 8) extends in the horizontal direction (D direction) to the side surface of the paper sheet accommodation part 30. As shown in FIG. It is installed. The guide rail 71 is fitted with a slide rail 72 serving as a slide member for supporting the paper sheet accommodating portion 30.

The floating mechanism 70 is permeably fitted to the guide rail 71 and the guide rail 71, and the slide rail 72 supports the paper sheet receiving portion 30 through the relief mechanism 73. Have The paper sheet housing portion 30 is supported by the slide mechanism 72 so as to be supported by the relief mechanism 73.

That is, the paper sheet housing portion 30 is supported by the relief mechanism 73 so as to slide upward when any subordinate force acts upward, but is not supported to move downward. Although mentioned later in detail, this state was expressed as being able to support.

In this way, as shown in FIG. 13, the sheet | leaf accommodation body 30 is first retracted by the predetermined amount obliquely downward (B direction), and horizontally along the guide rail 71 (arrow D direction). Withdrawn. At the time of this extraction, the paper sheet storage body 30 is pulled out in the horizontal direction (arrow D direction) in a state supported by the slide rail 72.

As shown in FIG. 14, the guide rail 71 has a cross-sectional U-shape, and is fixed to the body frame 74 with a bolt 75. In addition, the slide rail 72 which supports the paper sheet storage body 30 is being fixed to the L bracket 76 by the bolt 77. Guide pins 78 extending up and down are inserted into the L brackets 76. Moreover, the guide groove 80 fixed to the banknote accommodating part 30 is provided with the guide groove 80 which guides this guide pin 78 so that it can perturbate.

In addition, although this embodiment demonstrated the case where the guide pin 78 was inserted in the L bracket 76 and provided, and the guide groove 80 was formed in the guide bracket 79, it is not limited to this. For example, the guide pin 78 may be inserted into the guide bracket 79, and the guide groove 80 may be formed in the L bracket 76.

The relief mechanism 73 has this guide pin 78 and the guide groove 80. By this relief mechanism 73, the paper sheet housing part 30 is supported to be supported up and down. That is, the paper sheet accommodation part 30 moves up and down integrally with the guide bracket 79 by the guide bracket 79 perturbing up and down along the guide pin 78.

In the above, when withdrawing the sheet | leaf accommodation container part 30 from the main body frame 74, first, the banknote container container part 30 is obliquely downward using the retraction mechanism 60 (B direction of FIG. 13). Move to retreat. Next, the paper sheet housing portion 30 is pulled out along the guide rail 71 in the horizontal direction (D direction in FIG. 13) through the slide rail 72.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 13, the paper sheet accommodation part 30 is pulled out in the state suspended by the air in the state supported by the guide rail 71 via the slide rail 72. FIG. For this reason, even if the bottom surface of the lower surface has a much lower step 81 (see Fig. 13), for example, the paper sheet housing portion 30 can be easily pulled out without colliding with it.

In this way, the worker can remove the paper money bill by pulling out the paper sheet accommodation part 30. After this jam process, the paper sheet housing part 30 is attached to the main body frame 74 again. In this case, the paper sheet housing portion 30 is slide-inserted along the guide rail 71 via the slide rail 72 in the direction opposite to that of the drawing.

Then, when the inserted banknote accommodating part 30 reaches the front end of the evacuation mechanism 60 front taper rail 63 and the rear taper rail 65, the banknote accommodating part 30 is further along the inclined surface. Push it up at an angle upwards.

At this time, when taking out the banknote accommodating part 30, it must lift by the one which moved this obliquely downward. Therefore, in this embodiment, the relief rail 73 for allowing the upward movement of the banknote accommodating part 30 is provided with respect to the slide rail 72.

That is, as shown in FIG. 15, when pushing up the banknote accommodating part 30 along the inclined surface of the evacuation mechanism 60, the banknote accommodating part 30 and the integrated guide bracket 79, It slides upward along the guide pin 78. Also in this case, the fitting state of the slide rail 72 and the guide rail 71 is maintained. In this way, the banknote accommodating part 30 moves upward along the inclined surface of the front taper rail 63 and the rear taper rail 65. As shown in FIG.

Here, as shown in FIG. 10, between the banknote conveyance part 20 and the banknote accommodating part 30, the positional relationship of the banknote conveyance part 20 and the banknote accommodating part 30 is locked or released. The lock pin 61 as a locking means to be provided is arrange | positioned so that a piercing is possible.

Therefore, when the banknote accommodating part 30 is arrange | positioned facing the vicinity of the banknote conveying part 20 oppositely, the lock pin 61 provided in the banknote conveying part 20, for example, is a banknote accommodating part. It protrudes to the (30) side, and the banknote accommodation body 30 is positioned. This completes the attachment of the paper sheet housing portion 30. The state in which the paper sheet housing portion 30 is mounted is the state of FIG. 15.

In addition, this lock pin 61 is controlled so that it can go out by the operation of the operation button which is not shown, for example.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, by using the retracting mechanism 60 and the floating mechanism 70, the paper sheet housing 30 can be retracted obliquely downward and then slide out in the horizontal direction. Therefore, the jam processing can be easily performed even in a narrow work space.

Next, the basic operation | movement of the sheet | leaf handling apparatus 10 in this embodiment is demonstrated briefly.

First, in the case of a deposit transaction, when a deposit transaction is selected by the customer at the customer operation unit, a card is inserted into the card insertion outlet 15, and after the validity of the inserted card is confirmed, the banknote to the banknote input and output unit 13 is checked. Of money becomes possible.

In this deposit, the shutter of the banknote insertion taking-out part 13 is opened (FIG. 1 is a state when a shutter is closed), and it becomes a state which can insert a banknote into the banknote input taking-out part 13 by a customer. When the customer inserts a bill into the bill input and ejection unit 13 and notifies the main body control unit 36 by touching a predetermined button displayed on the display screen of the customer operation unit 12 that the input is finished, the shutter Is closed.

Then, the banknote currently put into the banknote input-out part 13 is conveyed to a conveyance path in the order shown by arrow a, h, b, and c, and is carried in to the discrimination part 29 here. Banknotes are discriminated while passing through the discriminating unit 29. That is, discrimination is made about the state of the banknote, such as the authenticity of the banknote, the damage situation, the contamination situation, the folded situation, the gold type and the front and back.

Banknotes having no abnormality in the discrimination result are conveyed to the conveying path in the order indicated by the arrows d and e, and are once loaded into the primary holding part 27. And when a discrimination process is complete | finished and even if one piece has an abnormality in a discrimination result, it is conveyed from the primary hold part 27 to the conveyance path in the order shown by arrow f, h, b, c, d, w, and is thrown in. The whole bill is returned to the bill input and take out unit 13. In addition, at this time, a banknote is conveyed to the banknote input taking-out part 13, without passing through the discrimination part 29. FIG.

In addition, when a discrimination process is complete | finished and a single sheet has no abnormality in a discrimination result, it is conveyed from the primary holding part 27 to the conveyance path in the order shown by arrow f, h, b. Here, when the banknote being conveyed is a 5000 yen or 2000 yen banknote, it is a recycling ineligible ticket which cannot be used as a recycled banknote sent to the next customer, and therefore, for example, in the case of a 5000 yen banknote, it is an ineligible ticket from the conveyance path of arrow n. It is accommodated in the accommodating part 22A.

For example, in the case of a 2000 yen bill, it is accommodated in the ineligible ticket storage part 22B via the conveyance path shown by arrows n and o.

In addition, although the banknote stored in the ineligible ticket storage part 22A, 22B was demonstrated as 2000 yen ticket and 5000 yen ticket, it is not limited to this. For example, it is possible to store 10,000 yen tickets, and it is also possible to set timely according to the operation.

In addition, in the case of the 10000 yen bill which is conveyed most by the conveyance path shown by arrows f, h, and b, it is a banknote which can be used as a recycled banknote which is sent to the next customer, arrow c, d, i, It is inserted into the banknote cassette 32A via the conveyance path shown by j, and it is loaded.

Moreover, when it turns out that banknote cassette 32A is full of banknotes by the calculation of banknote entrance and exit by the main body control part 36, it is conveyed on the conveyance path shown by the arrow k, and adjacent banknote cassette 32B is carried out. ) Is loaded into the stack.

In addition, although demonstrated as the banknote cassette 32A and the banknote cassette 32B as an example, it is not limited to this. It is also possible to select the bill cassette 32 according to the operation.

In addition, in this embodiment, the banknote cassette 32A and the banknote cassette 32B are used for the loading of 10,000 yen bills, and the banknote cassette 32C and the banknote cassette 32D are used for stacking the 1000 yen bills. The cassette 32E and the banknote cassette 32F serve as a spare banknote cassette which is easy to go in and out from the rear of the apparatus.

Inserting and stacking into a spare banknote cassette is adjacent to the banknote cassette 32F via the conveyance path shown by arrows n, o, p, and s or the banknote cassette adjacent via the conveyance path shown by arrows n, o, p, and t. It is assembled to 32E and loaded.

Here, for example, when a jam occurs in the transfer of banknotes between the transfer path 21 'and the banknote cassette 32, an alarm is activated. At this time, as shown in FIG. 9, a banknote becomes bitten across the roller pair 18A, 18B of the delivery conveyance path 21 ', and the roller pair 19A, 19B of the banknote cassette 32. As shown in FIG. Therefore, in this state, the banknote cassette 32 cannot be taken out in the horizontal direction.

Therefore, in FIG. 10, the operator first releases the lock pin 61, and obliquely lowers the paper sheet container accommodating portion 30 with respect to the banknote conveying portion 20 using the evacuation mechanism 60 (Fig. 10). In the B direction).

By obliquely downward movement of this paper sheet container accommodating part 30, the jam banknote bite | sucked over the banknote conveyance part 20 and the paper sheet accommodating part 30 (paper bank cassette 32) is separated. Next, the paper sheet housing portion 30 is pulled out in the horizontal direction along the guide rail 71 via the slide rail 72. In this way, the banknote which a jam generate | occur | produced can be taken out.

Thereafter, the paper sheet housing portion 30 is slid in the reverse direction using the floating mechanism 70 to be mounted back to its original position.

In the withdrawal transaction, when the withdrawal transaction is selected by the customer at the customer operation unit 12, the card is inserted into the card insertion outlet 15, and the encryption number is input from the surface screen of the customer operation unit 12. And when the validity number of the proof number is confirmed, the banknote of the amount specified by the customer is dispensed from the banknote cassette taking out portion 13 from any one of the plurality of banknote cassettes 32.
