Description

Paper sheet stacking device

The present invention relates to a paper sheet stacking apparatus, and in particular, a paper sheet that can be stacked stably when stacking paper media such as banknotes conveyed one by one and stacking them in a bundle. The present invention relates to an accumulation device.

For example, in ATMs (Automatic Teller Machines) and automatic transaction machines installed in financial institutions, etc., paper sheets are stacked and stored in a stacked state. A device is provided. The paper sheet stacking apparatus is introduced into the storage box so that the banknotes are loaded in a direction parallel to the surface of the banknotes stacked in the storage, and the front end of the banknotes slides on the top surface of the stacked banknotes. The banknote is piled up.

Banknotes that are transported to the storage are generally provided with various traps while circulating in the market. For example, a fold line is added by folding a banknote, a curl is added by putting it in a wallet, and a wrinkle is added by putting it in a pocket of a trouser. For example, if a banknote with a curl, for example, in a curled state is on the uppermost surface of the stacked banknote, the leading edge of the banknote that has been conveyed collides with the rear end of the curled banknote, resulting in misalignment of banknotes. It will end up. The interference with the stacked banknotes is particularly likely to occur in a paper sheet stacking apparatus in which banknotes conveyed in the longitudinal direction are introduced and stored in the longitudinal direction.

Several proposals have been known to avoid such interference with stacked banknotes. For example, there is one that secures a passage in the bill carry-in direction by pushing down the vicinity of the rear end of the bill in which the pressing lever is stacked (see, for example, Patent Document 1). According to Patent Document 1, the pressing lever is provided such that one end thereof is rotatably supported on the upstream side of the conveyance roller that feeds the banknotes into the storage, and the free end is in contact with the upper surface of the stacked banknotes in the storage. It has been. Thereby, the conveyed banknote comes to be inserted between the free end of the holding lever and the uppermost banknote, and further slides the upper surface of the uppermost banknote while lifting the free end of the holding lever. It is accumulated on the upper surface of the uppermost banknote.

Also, there is one that secures a passage in the bill carry-in direction by pushing the rear end of the bill immediately after it is introduced into the storage with an impeller (see, for example, Patent Document 2). According to Patent Document 2, an impeller disposed coaxially with a transport roller for carrying banknotes into a storage is provided, and the rear end of the banknote immediately after the impeller is carried into the storage is pushed downward. Interference with the following bill tip is prevented. This impeller can also effectively prevent fluttering of the trailing edge of the bill that could not be fully pressed by the pressing lever even when the pressing lever is used together.

However, even if the trailing edge of a bill introduced using a pressing lever or impeller is pressed down or pushed down, if there is a flaw on the leading end side beyond the range where the pressing lever or impeller operates, it will still be the worst. There was a problem that there was a possibility of interference between the upper banknote and the subsequent banknote.

This invention is made in view of such a point, and even if the highest banknote of the laminated | stacked banknote is a banknote with a hook, the paper sheets which can accommodate a subsequent banknote stably An object is to provide an integrated device.

In the present invention, in order to solve the above-described problem, in a paper sheet stacking apparatus that transports the transported paper sheets and stores them in a stacked state, the paper sheets that receive and store the paper sheets one by one are stored. And a first roller installed on the receiving side of the paper sheet and a second roller installed on the opening side of the paper sheet in the upper part of the paper sheet storage An endless transport belt, and a sheet whose one end is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the transport belt and whose other end is urged toward the transport belt on the downstream side in the transport direction from the position where the one end is fixed And a paper sheet stacking device including the holding member.

According to such a paper sheet stacking apparatus, when the paper sheet holding member on the transport belt passes through the first roller, the front end portion thereof is separated from the transport belt to receive the front end of the paper sheet, When passing between the roller and the second roller, the paper sheets are held by grip force, and when passing through the second roller, the leading end of the paper leaves the conveying belt to release the paper sheets and stacked. Drop onto paper sheets and collect and store. As a result, the paper sheets are not pushed from the trailing edge and pushed into the paper sheet storage box, but are drawn in and stored at the leading edge of the paper sheets. Some things can be stored stably.

The paper sheet stacking apparatus having the above configuration is configured such that the leading edge of the conveyed paper sheet is pulled in while being held by the grip force of the paper sheet holding member, and the grip force is released on the side opposite to the receiving side, thereby stacking There is an advantage that it can be stably stored because it is dropped on the already-used paper sheets.

In addition, since this paper sheet stacking device grips and pulls the leading edge of the paper sheet, it can transport a longer distance than when pushing in using the rigidity of the paper sheet. Suitable for devices that are introduced and stored in

FIG. 3 is a side view showing a schematic configuration of the paper sheet stacking apparatus according to the first embodiment, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a schematic configuration of the paper sheet stacking apparatus according to the first embodiment.
The paper sheet stacking apparatus according to the first embodiment includes a paper sheet storage 21 that stores the banknotes 20 that have been transported one by one in a stacked state. Rollers 23 are respectively installed on the side where the rollers 22 open the banknote 20 which is the opposite end. An endless conveying belt 24 is stretched around these

rollers

22 and 23, and a bill holding member 25 that holds the leading end of the conveyed bill 20 is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the conveying belt 24. Yes. In the example shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a plurality of banknote holding members 25 are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the transport belt 24 in a state where they partially overlap each other with a predetermined interval in the transport direction. . However, the banknote holding member 25 may be fixed to the transport belt 24 in a state of being separated without overlapping each other in the transport direction. In addition, when the banknote holding member 25 does not overlap, FIG.3 and FIG.4 can be referred as what represents the motion of the banknote holding member 25 when the conveyance belt 24 is operate | moving.

In addition, a pair of

transport rollers

26 and 27 are installed adjacent to the paper sheet stacking device on the side where the banknote 20 is received, and the banknotes 20 transported one by one in the longitudinal direction are stored in the paper sheet stacking device. The role of handing over. The delivered banknote 20 is transported in a state in which the leading edge is held by the banknote holding member 25 in the paper sheet stacking apparatus, and therefore the transport speed of the transport belt 24 is determined by the

transport rollers

26 and 27. It is set to be equal to or slightly lower than 20 conveying speed.

The banknotes 20 supplied by the

transport rollers

26 and 27 are held at the front end thereof by the transport belt 24 and the banknote holding member 25 on the side of the rollers 22, and remain in the state of being held up to the opposite side of the paper sheet storage 21. Be transported. On the roller 23 side, the banknote holding member 25 opens the banknote 20, whereby the banknote 20 is dropped and stacked on the uppermost banknote stored in the paper sheet storage 21.

The paper sheet storage 21 is provided with a stage that can be raised and lowered at the bottom when storing a large amount of banknotes 20. As a result, when the number of stored sheets changes, the stage is controlled to move up and down so that the height position of the uppermost banknote 20 does not change much.

Further, in the example of FIG. 4, one transport belt 24 having a banknote holding member 25 is installed to store the transported banknote 20 in the paper sheet storage 21. However, a plurality of the conveyor belts 24 can be used side by side as necessary.

FIG. 5 is a view for explaining the relationship between the conveyance belt and the banknote holding member of the paper sheet stacking apparatus according to the first embodiment. FIG. 5A shows the shape of the banknote holding member before being attached to the conveyance belt. The figure to explain, (B) is a figure which shows the state of the banknote holding member at the time of operation | movement.

The bill holding member 25 includes a base portion 25a that is a member fixed to the transport belt 24, and a bill press portion 25b that is a member that extends from the base portion 25a in the substantially transport direction of the transport belt 24 and presses the bill 20 against the transport belt 24. have. The base part 25a and the banknote pressing part 25b are integrally formed by a member having elasticity.

As shown in FIG. 5A, the banknote holding member 25 is shaped so that the free end 25c of the banknote pressing portion 25b bites into the transport belt 24 by an amount of the dimension a beyond the mounting surface 25d of the base portion 25a. Is formed. Thereby, when the banknote holding member 25 is fixed to the transport belt 24, as shown in FIG. 5B, the free end 25c of the banknote pressing portion 25b deflects the transport belt 24 to the side opposite to the mounting side. This bending acts as a grip force for holding the banknote 20.

6A and 6B are views of the state in which the banknote holding member is attached to the transport belt as viewed from the side of the paper sheet storage case. FIG. 6A shows an example of the shape of the paper sheet holding member, and FIG. The other example of the shape of a leaf holding member is shown.

The banknote holding members 25 are arranged so as not to overlap each other at a predetermined interval in the transport direction of the transport belt 24. The banknote holding member 25 shown in FIG. 6A is arranged in a state where the base 25a and the free end 25c of the adjacent banknote holding member 25 are separated from each other. On the other hand, the banknote holding member 25 shown in FIG. 6B has a notch formed in the central portion on the side where the base 25a is located, and the free end 25c of the adjacent banknote holding member 25 is the notch. It is arrange | positioned in the state which fits in. Thus, by narrowing the interval at which the banknote holding member 25 is arranged in the transport direction of the transport belt 24, the position on the transport belt 24 where the banknote holding member 25 receives the banknote 20 from the

transport rollers

26 and 27 is increased. Become. This means that cooperative control of the

transport rollers

26 and 27 and the

rollers

22 and 23 is facilitated.

FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining another relationship between the conveyance belt and the banknote holding member of the paper sheet stacking apparatus according to the first embodiment. FIG. 7A shows the banknote holding member before being attached to the conveyance belt. The figure explaining a shape and (B) are figures which show the state of the banknote holding member at the time of operation | movement.

Here, unlike the case of FIG. 5, the case where the banknote holding members 25 are provided on the conveyor belt 24 in a state where they partially overlap each other is shown. The banknote holding member 25 includes a base portion 25 a fixed to the transport belt 24, and a banknote pressing portion 25 b that extends from the base portion 25 a in the transport direction of the transport belt 24 and presses the banknote 20 against the transport belt 24. In the illustrated example, a pressing protrusion 25e is provided on the side of the conveyor belt 24 near the free end 25c of the bill pressing portion 25b. The base part 25a, the banknote pressing part 25b, and the pressing projection part 25e are integrally formed of an elastic member.

As shown in FIG. 7A, the banknote holding member 25 has a pressing projection 25e on the side of the transport belt 24 by a dimension b from the surface of the banknote pressing section 25b on the side of the paper sheet storage 21. It is formed in a protruding shape. Thus, when the banknote holding member 25-1 and the banknote holding member 25-2 adjacent to the back of the banknote holding member 25-1 are fixed to the transport belt 24, the state is as shown in FIG. That is, the pressing protrusion 25e-1 of the banknote holding member 25-1 rides on the banknote pressing section 25b-2 of the banknote holding member 25-2 adjacent to the rear, and the banknote pressing section 25b-1 is stored in the paper sheet storage. It will bend to the 21 side. At this time, due to the reaction of the bending of the bill pressing portion 25b-1, the outer surface of the bill pressing portion 25b-2 of the bill holding member 25-2, which is adjacent to the pressing projection 25e-1 of the bill holding member 25-1, is located behind. It acts so as to contact the part c, and this is a gripping force for holding the banknote 20. Further, the bill holding member 25-1 acts so that the inner surface of the bill pressing portion 25b-1 is in contact with the end portion d of the base portion 25a-2 of the bill holding member 25-2 adjacent to the rear one so that the bill 20 is moved. Since it hold | maintains, it becomes possible to fix the banknote 20 more firmly.

FIG. 8 is a partial cross-sectional view showing an example of coupling between the conveyor belt and the banknote holding member.
The transport belt 24 has ribs 24 a protruding from the surface on which the banknote holding member 25 is fixed. The rib 24a has a head at its tip, extends in the width direction so as to cross the conveying belt 24, and has a mushroom cross section. More specifically, the base 24b of the rib 24a (joint portion with the conveyor belt 24) is narrow in the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 24, and the tip 24c of the rib 24a on the opposite side is more transported than the base 24b of the rib 24a. Are widely formed in the transport direction. On the other hand, the banknote holding member 25 is formed such that a fitting groove 25 f having the same cross-sectional shape as the rib 24 a extends in the width direction of the transport belt 24 at the base portion 25 a.

The banknote holding member 25 can be fixed to the conveyor belt 24 by sliding the fitting groove 25f in the width direction of the conveyor belt 24 in accordance with the rib 24a of the conveyor belt 24. The fitting portion between the fitting groove 25f and the rib 24a can be more firmly fixed by, for example, soaking an adhesive into the gap. Further, by reducing the size of the fitting groove 25f to be substantially the same as or slightly smaller than the size of the rib 24a, the bill holding member 25 that can be firmly fixed when fitted and that is also worn out can be partially replaced. It becomes.

FIG. 9 is a view for explaining the banknote alignment state by the banknote holding member on the side of opening the banknote.
The paper sheet storage 21 has a guide 21 a that abuts and aligns the opened banknote 20 on the side that opens the banknote 20 that has been transported while being held by the transport belt 24 and the banknote holding member 25. When the base 25a of the banknote holding member 25 reaches the area where the transport direction of the transport belt 24 is changed by the roller 23 and the banknote pressing part 25b of the banknote holding member 25 is separated from the transport belt 24, the banknote 20 is released. At this time, since the conveyance force by the

conveyance rollers

26 and 27 has already been lost, the opened banknote 20 falls on the uppermost stored banknote at that position. Thereafter, the banknote holding member 25 on the downstream side in the transport direction from the banknote holding member 25 that holds and transports the banknote 20 comes to stand with respect to the transport belt 24, and the outer surface of the banknote pressing portion 25 b of the banknote holding member 25. 25k moves in the direction of the guide 21a while pressing the vicinity of the tip of the stored banknote. As the banknote pressing part 25b moves, the uppermost banknote 20 slides on the second banknote stored from the top, and the front edge of the banknote 20 comes into contact with the guide 21a and stops. . As a result, the banknotes 20 are stacked and stored in the paper sheet storage 21 in an aligned state in which the front edge portion is in contact with the guide 21a.

FIG. 10 is a view showing a banknote holding member of the paper sheet stacking apparatus according to the second embodiment, and (A) is a view showing the banknote holding member when arranged so as not to overlap the transport belt; (B) is a figure which shows a banknote holding member in the case of arrange | positioning so that it may overlap with a conveyance belt.

The banknote holding member 25 used in the paper sheet stacking apparatus according to the second embodiment realizes the grip force for holding the banknote 20 by the elastic force of the elastic body. That is, the banknote holding member 25 has a base portion 25a made of a hard material, one end of which is fixed to the conveyor belt 24, a banknote pressing section 25b attached to the other end of the base section 25a, and the banknote pressing section 25b. And an elastic body that tilts toward the side. The base 25a and the banknote pressing part 25b are preferably attached so as to be rotatable, and a coil spring 25g is installed on the shaft thereof to tilt the banknote pressing part 25b toward the transport belt 24.

The tilting range of the banknote pressing part 25b is limited so as not to interfere with the banknote pressing part 25b when the banknote 20 is received from the

transport rollers

26 and 27. In the case of FIG. 10A where the banknote holding member 25 is arranged so as not to overlap on the transport belt 24, the banknote pressing portion 25 b is a broken line when the banknote holding member 25 is not fixed to the transport belt 24. It can be tilted only to the position in the conveyor belt 24 shown. This is realized, for example, by providing a stopper portion that prevents a part of the banknote pressing portion 25b from abutting against the base portion 25a and further rotating. Further, in the case of FIG. 10B where the banknote holding member 25 is arranged so as to overlap on the transport belt 24, the banknote pressing portion 25b is located in the base 25a of the adjacent banknote holding member 25 as indicated by a broken line. It can only tilt to the position.

FIG. 11 is a view showing a modification of the banknote holding member of the paper sheet stacking apparatus according to the second embodiment, and (A) shows the banknote holding member when arranged so as not to overlap the transport belt. The figure shown, (B) is a figure which shows a banknote holding member in the case of arrange | positioning so that it may overlap with a conveyance belt.

The banknote holding member 25 used in the paper sheet stacking apparatus according to the second embodiment realizes the grip force for holding the banknote 20 by the elastic force of the leaf spring 25h. That is, the banknote holding member 25 has a base 25a made of a hard material, one end of which is fixed to the transport belt 24, a banknote pressing section 25b attached to the other end of the base 25a, and the banknote pressing section 25b. And an elastic leaf spring 25h tilted toward the side 24. The banknote holding member 25 is formed by fixing both ends of a resin or metal leaf spring 25h to the base portion 25a and the banknote pressing portion 25b. For example, the banknote holding member 25 is formed by insert molding in which the leaf spring 25h is used as an insert, and is wrapped and solidified with a resin forming the base 25a and the banknote pressing part 25b.

In the case of FIG. 11A where the banknote holding member 25 is arranged so as not to overlap on the transport belt 24, the banknote 20 is held by the banknote pressing portion 25b and the transport belt 24 by the gripping force of the leaf spring 25h. The In the case of FIG. 11B in which the banknote holding member 25 is arranged so as to overlap on the transport belt 24, the banknote 20 is adjacent to the banknote pressing portion 25b by the gripping force of the leaf spring 25h. And the base portion 25a.

FIG. 12 is a view showing a banknote holding member of the paper sheet stacking apparatus according to the third embodiment.
The banknote holding member 25 used in the paper sheet stacking apparatus according to the third embodiment realizes the grip force for holding the banknote 20 by the magnetic attraction force by the magnetic adsorption member. That is, the bill holding member 25 includes a base portion 25a fixed to the transport belt 24, and a bill press portion 25b that extends from the base portion 25a substantially parallel to the surface of the transport belt 24 and can swing around the base portion 25a as a fulcrum. And a magnet 25i fixed to the tip of the bill pressing portion 25b. Further, in order to cause the bill holding member 25 to generate a gripping force, a magnetic body 25j is arranged on the side opposite to the side on which the bill holding member 25 is fixed of the transport belt 24, and the end on the side where the bill 20 is opened. The part is extended to the position where the banknote 20 is opened. Thereby, when the magnet 25i of the banknote holding member 25 travels in the area where the magnetic body 25j exists, the banknote 20 is held by the grip force generated by the magnet 25i being attracted to the magnetic body 25j, and the magnetic body 25j is interrupted. The banknote 20 is opened at the position.

In the illustrated example, the movable side magnetic attracting member installed on the banknote holding member 25 is the magnet 25i, and the fixed side magnetic attracting member disposed inside the transport belt 24 is the magnetic body 25j. However, the movable-side magnetic attracting member may be a magnetic body, and the fixed-side magnetic attracting member may be a magnet, or both the movable-side and fixed-side magnetic attracting members may be composed of magnets. When magnets are arranged inside the conveyor belt 24, magnets that are magnetized so that different magnetic poles are oriented on both sides facing the conveyor belt 24 are used.
