Each operation will be described below.

首先说明纸币的存取款动作。纸币的存取款动作分为将利用者投入的纸币放入到纸币存取款机的动作（存款动作）、以及将收纳于纸币存取款机的纸币向利用者送出的动作（取款动作）。此外，存款动作分为对利用者投入的纸币进行计数的动作（存款计数动作）、以及将计数后的纸币收纳到存款库60、拒绝库63及循环库80的动作（存款收纳动作）。First, deposit and withdrawal operations of banknotes will be described. The deposit and withdrawal operation of banknotes is divided into the operation of putting the banknotes inserted by the user into the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine (deposit operation) and the operation of sending the banknotes stored in the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine to the user (withdrawal operation) . The deposit operation is divided into an operation of counting banknotes inserted by the user (deposit counting operation) and an operation of storing the counted banknotes in the deposit box 60 , the reject box 63 , and the recycling box 80 (deposit storage operation).

以下说明存款计数动作。纸币存取款机101将投入到存取款口机构20的纸币一张一张分离。然后，使分离的纸币经由纸币输送路501a～d，由纸币判别部30判别币种及真伪。判别了纸币的币种及真伪后，通过切换门503的切换等，经由纸币输送路501e、f将纸币暂时收纳到暂时保管库40。未能判别纸币的币种及真伪的情况下、以及出现倾斜异常或纸币彼此的间隔异常的情况下，不输送到暂时保管库40，将该纸币作为存款拒绝纸币处理。这时，通过切换门503的切换等，经由纸币输送路501e、j将纸币输送到存取款口机构20，返还给利用者。此外，将纸币判别为假币的情况下，通过切换门503的切换等，经由纸币输送路501e、m、o、p将纸币收纳到假币回收库62。Next, the deposit counting operation will be described. The banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 101 separates the banknotes inserted into the deposit and withdrawal mechanism 20 one by one. Then, the separated banknotes are passed through the banknote conveyance paths 501a to 501a-d, and the currency type and authenticity are discriminated by the banknote discriminating unit 30 . After discriminating the denomination and authenticity of the banknotes, the banknotes are temporarily stored in the temporary storage 40 through the banknote conveyance paths 501e and f by switching the switching gate 503 or the like. When the denomination and authenticity of the banknotes cannot be discriminated, or when there is an abnormality in inclination or an abnormal interval between banknotes, the banknotes are not conveyed to the temporary storage 40, and the banknotes are handled as deposit-rejected banknotes. At this time, by switching the switching gate 503 or the like, the banknotes are conveyed to the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 20 via the banknote conveyance paths 501e, j, and returned to the user. Moreover, when discriminating a banknote as counterfeit, the banknote is accommodated in the counterfeit money collection box 62 via banknote conveyance path 501e, m, o, p by switching of the switching gate 503, etc.

以下详细说明存款收纳动作。在存款计数动作之后交易确定的情况下，通过切换门503的切换等，使收纳于暂时保管库40的纸币经由纸币输送路501f、e、d通过纸币判别部30。然后，通过切换门502的切换等，经由纸币输送路501c、b、g、h、i将纸币收纳到存款库60、拒绝库63及循环库80的某一个。这时，对纸币输送路901a～e及902a～e及切换门903a～e进行控制，将纸币收纳到与纸币判别部30的判别结果对应的收纳库。另外，也可以将收纳于假币回收库62的假币在存款收纳动作时收纳到拒绝库63。这些存款收纳动作完成后，存款动作结束。The deposit receiving operation will be described in detail below. When the transaction is confirmed after the deposit counting operation, the banknotes stored in the temporary storage 40 are passed through the banknote determination unit 30 via the banknote transport paths 501f, e, and d by switching the switching gate 503 or the like. Then, the banknotes are stored in any one of the deposit box 60 , the rejection box 63 , and the recycling box 80 via the banknote conveyance paths 501 c, b, g, h, and i by switching of the switching gate 502 or the like. At this time, the banknote conveyance paths 901a-e and 902a-e and the switching gates 903a-e are controlled, and the banknotes are stored in the storage corresponding to the discrimination result of the banknote discrimination part 30. In addition, the counterfeit bills stored in the counterfeit bill collection box 62 may be stored in the rejection box 63 during deposit storage operation. After these deposit receiving actions are completed, the deposit action ends.

以下说明取款动作。纸币存取款机101从取款库70及循环库8送出规定张数的纸币，经由纸币输送路901a～e及902a～e、501i、h、g、b、c、d，由纸币判别部30来判别币种。然后，通过切换门503的切换等，将纸币输送到存取款口机构20，向利用者送出纸币。这时，如后述那样，通过使经由了输送单元A的取款纸币成为比自动交易装置100的上部正面板100a更突出的状态，能够与现金分配器中的取款纸币的状态类似。The withdrawal operation will be described below. The banknote cash deposit and withdrawal machine 101 sends out a predetermined number of banknotes from the withdrawal storehouse 70 and the recycle storehouse 8, and passes through the banknote conveying paths 901a-e and 902a-e, 501i, h, g, b, c, d, and is passed by the banknote discriminating unit 30. to identify the currency. Then, by switching the switching gate 503 or the like, the banknotes are conveyed to the deposit and withdrawal opening mechanism 20, and the banknotes are sent out to the user. At this time, as described later, by making the withdrawal banknotes passing through the conveyance unit A protrude from the upper front panel 100a of the automatic transaction apparatus 100, it can be similar to the state of the withdrawal banknotes in the cash dispenser.

接着，说明纸币的装填/回收动作。纸币的装填/回收动作分为由工作人员将一并装填在装填/回收库81中的纸币收纳到循环库80的动作（装填动作）、以及在循环库80装满时等将收纳于循环库80的规定张数的纸币回收到装填/回收库81的动作（回收动作）。装填动作中的纸币的输送和回收动作中的纸币的输送是彼此反向的路径，在此省略详细说明。另外，在装填动作/回收动作中出现拒绝纸币的情况下，可以将该拒绝纸币收纳到拒绝库63，也可以收纳到设于装填/回收库81的装填拒绝部。Next, the loading/recovering operation of banknotes will be described. The loading/recovering operation of banknotes is divided into the operation of storing the banknotes loaded in the loading/recovering storage 81 into the recycling storage 80 by the staff (loading operation), and storing the banknotes in the recycling storage 80 when the recycling storage 80 is full. 80 banknotes of a predetermined number are collected into the loading/recovering box 81 (recovery operation). The conveyance of the banknotes during the loading operation and the conveyance of the banknotes during the collection operation are paths in opposite directions to each other, and detailed description thereof will be omitted here. In addition, when a rejected banknote occurs during the loading operation/collection operation, the rejected banknote may be stored in the reject storage 63 or may be stored in a loading rejection unit provided in the loading/collection storage 81 .

接着，说明忘取纸币的回收动作。忘取纸币的回收动作指的是，在存款动作中的存款拒绝纸币或取款纸币残留在存取款口机构20的情况下（发生了利用者的忘取的情况下）将该纸币回收的动作。在存款拒绝纸币或取款纸币被收纳在存取款口机构20的状态下经过了规定时间时，将收纳于存取款口机构20的纸币一张一张分离。然后，使分离的纸币经由纸币输送路501a～e、m、n收纳到忘取回收库61。Next, the recovery operation of forgotten banknotes will be described. The collection operation of forgetting to take out banknotes refers to the operation of collecting the banknotes in the case where the deposit rejected banknotes or withdrawal banknotes remain in the deposit and withdrawal mechanism 20 during the deposit operation (when the user forgets to take them out). . When a predetermined time has elapsed in the state where the deposit rejection banknote or the withdrawal banknote was accommodated in the deposit and withdrawal mechanism 20, the banknotes accommodated in the deposit and withdrawal mechanism 20 are separated one by one. Then, the separated banknotes are stored in the forgotten collection storage 61 via the banknote conveyance paths 501 a to e, m, and n.

以下详细说明本实施方式中的存取款口机构20的构成。将纸币端面未对齐的各种尺寸的纸币一并投入的情况下，在纸币的分离时成为歪扭的状态，发生与配置于输送路的分配门冲突的卡纸、收纳部中的集积不良所导致的下次取款交易时的送出不良、无法币种或真假等而导致的拒绝等。此外，在纸币束中夹着硬币等异物的情况下，与纸币一起被输送到收纳部，成为装置内的堵塞原因。为了解决上述问题，存取款口机构20采用图5～7所示的构成。The configuration of the deposit and withdrawal port mechanism 20 in this embodiment will be described in detail below. When putting in banknotes of various sizes whose end faces are misaligned, the banknotes will be distorted when they are separated, causing paper jams that collide with the distributing gates arranged on the conveying path, and accumulation failures in the storage section The resulting rejection caused by poor delivery, inability to use currency, or authenticity in the next withdrawal transaction. Moreover, when a foreign object, such as a coin, is caught in a banknote bundle, it will be conveyed to an accommodating part together with a banknote, and it will become the cause of clogging in an apparatus. In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the deposit and withdrawal mechanism 20 adopts the configuration shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 .

图7是存取款口机构20及纸币插入引导件150周边的侧视图。纸币插入引导件150从构成纸币狭缝的上部正面板向装置外侧突出，随着从装置前方（图7的右侧）朝向后方（图7的左侧），突出部150a的间隔变窄后再变宽。即，开口部20a的上侧的突出部150a与开口部20a的下侧的突出部150a的间隔最窄的部位是突出部150a的前侧与突出部150a的后侧之间。FIG. 7 is a side view of the deposit and withdrawal opening mechanism 20 and the banknote insertion guide 150 and its periphery. The banknote insertion guide 150 protrudes from the upper front panel constituting the banknote slit to the outside of the device, and the distance between the protrusions 150a becomes narrower as it goes from the front (right side in FIG. 7 ) to the rear (left side in FIG. 7 ) of the device. widen. That is, the narrowest distance between the upper protrusion 150a of the opening 20a and the lower protrusion 150a of the opening 20a is between the front side of the protrusion 150a and the rear side of the protrusion 150a.

此外，在纸币狭缝的装置后方设置上带203a、下带203b、前辊203c、入口夹板引导件802，但是在这些构成中，对于从纸币狭缝的上部观察装置的利用者EU来说，不会看到上带203a。此外，纸币插入引导件150设有凹陷部152及153，所以在利用者对纸币进行存款时，能够看到开口部20a。因此，利用者能够可靠地对纸币进行存款。In addition, the upper belt 203a, the lower belt 203b, the front roller 203c, and the entrance plate guide 802 are provided behind the device of the banknote slit, but in these configurations, for the user EU who observes the device from the upper part of the banknote slit, Upper strap 203a will not be seen. Moreover, since the banknote insertion guide 150 is provided with the recessed parts 152 and 153, when a user deposits a banknote, he can see the opening part 20a. Therefore, the user can reliably deposit banknotes.

在此，对入口夹板引导件802进行说明。入口夹板引导件802通过未图示的连结部件与前辊203c连结，与前辊203c的开闭动作同步地进行开闭动作。另外，开合挡板201打开时露出的入口夹板引导件802打开的情况下的、前辊203c与前辊203c’的装置上下方向的间隔和纸币插入引导件150的装置前方的装置上下方向的间隔大体相同。即，开合挡板201打开时的前辊203c与前辊203c’的上下方向的间隔，和突出部150a的前侧的、开口部20a的上侧的突出部150a与开口部20a的下侧的突出部150a的间隔大体相同。Here, the entrance splint guide 802 will be described. The entrance clamp guide 802 is connected to the front roller 203c by a connecting member not shown, and performs an opening and closing operation in synchronization with the opening and closing operation of the front roller 203c. In addition, the distance between the front roller 203c and the front roller 203c' in the device vertical direction and the device front of the banknote insertion guide 150 in the device vertical direction when the entrance clamp guide 802 exposed when the shutter 201 is opened are opened. The intervals are roughly the same. That is, the distance between the front roller 203c and the front roller 203c' in the vertical direction when the shutter 201 is opened, and the front side of the protrusion 150a, the protrusion 150a on the upper side of the opening 20a and the lower side of the opening 20a The intervals of the protrusions 150a are substantially the same.

接下来，使用图8说明说明淋到纸币插入引导件150的雨水的排水构件。将自动交易装置100设置在室外的情况下，有时雨水会从开口部20a进入。这时，如果没有用于排出雨水的流路，雨水会滞留在内部而生锈，装置无法工作，为了防止这种情况而设置排水构件。Next, a description will be given of a drainage member for rainwater that hits the banknote insertion guide 150 using FIG. 8 . When installing the automatic transaction apparatus 100 outdoors, rainwater may enter from the opening part 20a. At this time, if there is no flow path for draining rainwater, rainwater will stagnate inside and rust, and the device will not work. A drainage member is provided to prevent this.

排水构件由具有倾斜的排水路154和设置于排水路154的倾斜最低位置的下方的排水部（排水管155、框体侧排水部156）构成。淋到纸币插入引导件150的雨水R沿着纸币插入引导件150的倾斜而流经流路J1、J2。流经这些流路中的流路J1的雨水不会到达纸币狭缝而被排出到装置外部。另一方面，流经流路J2的雨水到达纸币狭缝及开合挡板201。到达开合挡板201的雨水沿重力方向落下而如流路B那样流动，到达存取款引导固定托架151的下部。The drainage member includes a sloped drainage passage 154 and a drainage portion (drain pipe 155 , housing-side drainage portion 156 ) provided below the lowest position of the slope of the drainage passage 154 . The rainwater R that hit the banknote insertion guide 150 flows along the inclination of the banknote insertion guide 150 through the flow paths J1 , J2 . Rainwater flowing through the flow path J1 among these flow paths is discharged to the outside of the device without reaching the banknote slit. On the other hand, the rainwater flowing through the flow path J2 reaches the banknote slit and the shutter 201 . The rainwater that has reached the shutter 201 falls in the direction of gravity, flows like the flow path B, and reaches the lower portion of the deposit and withdrawal guide fixing bracket 151 .

在存取款引导固定托架151的下部设有排水路154，雨水被引导至排水路154（参照图8（a））。排水路154在装置的左右方向（图8（b）的左右方向）具有倾斜θ。因此，被引导至排水路154的雨水沿着排水路154的倾斜流经流路L。然后，雨水经由流路M到达排水管155，滴落到框体侧排水部156并排出到装置外。The drainage path 154 is provided in the lower part of the deposit/withdrawal guide fixing bracket 151, and rainwater is guided to the drainage path 154 (refer FIG.8(a)). The drain path 154 has an inclination θ in the left-right direction of the device (the left-right direction in FIG. 8( b )). Therefore, the rainwater guided to the drainage channel 154 flows through the flow channel L along the inclination of the drainage channel 154 . Then, the rainwater reaches the drain pipe 155 through the flow path M, drops to the housing side drain portion 156, and is discharged to the outside of the device.

图9是从输送单元A的装置前方观察的立体图。构成纸币输送路203的上带203a在装置宽度方向上设置3条。另一方面，构成纸币输送路203的下带203b在装置宽度方向上设置2条。这些上带203a及下带203b配置在相互不对置的位置。另外，上带203a及下带203b的条数不限于上述例子，优选设置为在装置宽度方向上对称。FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the transport unit A viewed from the front of the device. Three upper belts 203a constituting the banknote conveyance path 203 are provided in the apparatus width direction. On the other hand, two lower belts 203b constituting the banknote conveyance path 203 are provided in the apparatus width direction. These upper belt 203a and lower belt 203b are arrange|positioned at the position which does not oppose mutually. In addition, the number of the upper belt 203a and the lower belt 203b is not limited to the above-mentioned example, It is preferable to arrange symmetrically in the apparatus width direction.

此外，上带203a及下带203b经由设置在安装于框架203e的旋转轴上的输送辊来传递驱动力。此外，设有前辊203c的旋转轴与设有向下带203b传递驱动力的输送辊的旋转轴同轴。In addition, the upper belt 203a and the lower belt 203b transmit driving force via conveying rollers provided on the rotating shaft attached to the frame 203e. In addition, the rotation shaft provided with the front roller 203c is coaxial with the rotation shaft provided with the conveyance roller which transmits the driving force to the lower belt 203b.

以下详细说明输送单元A的内部构成。输送的纸币束过厚的情况下，输送带的张力暂时变高而负荷变大，存在驱动输送带的马达锁死而无法输送纸币的可能性。此外，即使纸币束不过厚，在装置宽度方向的纸币束的厚度存在偏差的情况下，在厚度较薄的部位无法施加适当的张力，可能会引起歪扭。此外，纸币束通过局部的弯曲部时，由于弯曲部的半径差而产生周速差，弯曲半径较小侧的纸币的输送速度变慢，弯曲半径较大侧的纸币的输送速度变快，结果，纸币束前端可能会在输送途中偏移。这种情况下，在取款时从装置放出纸币的情况下，产生利用者不易拿住该纸币束的问题，此外，在存款的情况下，在未对齐的状态下分离，所以存在容易发生歪扭的问题。The internal configuration of the transport unit A will be described in detail below. When the bundle of banknotes to be conveyed is too thick, the tension of the conveyer belt temporarily increases to increase the load, and the motor driving the conveyer belt may be locked and the banknotes may not be conveyed. In addition, even if the banknote bundle is not too thick, if there is variation in the thickness of the banknote bundle in the device width direction, appropriate tension cannot be applied to the thinner portion, which may cause distortion. In addition, when the bundle of banknotes passes through a local curved portion, a circumferential speed difference occurs due to a difference in the radius of the curved portion, the transport speed of the banknotes on the side with a smaller bending radius becomes slower, and the transport speed of the banknotes on the side with a larger bending radius becomes faster. , the front end of the banknote bundle may deviate during conveyance. In this case, when the banknotes are released from the device at the time of withdrawal, there is a problem that the user is not easy to hold the banknote bundle. In addition, in the case of deposits, they are separated in a misaligned state, so there is a tendency to twist. The problem.

为了解决上述问题，输送单元A采用图10所示的构成。输送单元A在上带203a及下带203b的附近设置形成供纸币束通过的空间的输送引导件203f。此外，输送单元A设有可动辊203g，通过可动辊203g移动，能够变更上带203a的张力。可动辊203g被可动辊保持部件203h保持，以支点203i为中心旋转。可动辊保持部件203h通过弹簧等弹性部件203j，在对上带203a施加规定的张力的方向上可动。此外，弹性部件203j的一端被固定于框架203e的支点203k保持。In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the transport unit A adopts the configuration shown in FIG. 10 . In the conveyance unit A, the conveyance guide 203f which forms the space through which the banknote bundle passes is provided in the vicinity of the upper belt 203a and the lower belt 203b. In addition, the conveyance unit A is provided with a movable roller 203g, and the tension of the upper belt 203a can be changed by moving the movable roller 203g. The movable roller 203g is held by the movable roller holding member 203h, and rotates around the fulcrum 203i. The movable roller holding member 203h is movable in a direction in which a predetermined tension is applied to the upper belt 203a via an elastic member 203j such as a spring. In addition, one end of the elastic member 203j is held by a fulcrum 203k fixed to the frame 203e.

当纸币通过输送路时，上带203a向施加张力的方向凸出。因此，可动辊203g向缓和对上带203a施加的张力的方向移动。由此，即使在装置宽度方向存在纸币的厚度的偏差，通过使各个可动辊203g独立地驱动，减少纸币的歪扭。The upper belt 203a protrudes in the direction in which tension is applied when the banknotes pass through the transport path. Therefore, the movable roller 203g moves in the direction of relieving the tension applied to the upper belt 203a. Thereby, even if there is variation in the thickness of the banknote in the apparatus width direction, the distortion of the banknote is reduced by driving each movable roller 203g independently.

另外，在图10中，使用单一的可动辊203g进行了说明，但是通过将上带203a的全部辊设为可动辊，能够分散并缓和对上带203a施加的张力。因此，与设置单一可动辊的情况相比，能够进一步减少纸币的歪扭。In addition, in FIG. 10, although the single movable roller 203g was used and demonstrated, by making all the rollers of the upper belt 203a movable rollers, the tension|tensile_strength applied to the upper belt 203a can be dispersed and relaxed. Therefore, compared with the case where a single movable roller is provided, the distortion of a banknote can be further reduced.

回到图5，在纸币输送路203的装置前侧配置有前辊203c，该前辊203c被弹簧等弹性部件向箭头方向施力，能够通过未图示的促动器开闭。此外，在纸币输送路203的装置后侧配置有后辊（后输送构件）203d，该后辊203d被弹簧等弹性部件向箭头方向施力，能够通过未图示的促动器开闭。在闭状态的情况下，每个辊都对纸币施加弹性部件的弹性力所带来的输送力，在开状态的情况下，能够接受纸币。Returning to FIG. 5 , a front roller 203c is arranged on the front side of the banknote conveying path 203 . The front roller 203c is biased in the direction of the arrow by an elastic member such as a spring, and can be opened and closed by an unshown actuator. Also, a rear roller (rear conveyance member) 203d is arranged on the device rear side of the banknote conveyance path 203, and the rear roller 203d is biased in the direction of the arrow by an elastic member such as a spring, and can be opened and closed by an unillustrated actuator. In the case of the closed state, each roller applies the conveyance force by the elastic force of the elastic member to the banknote, and in the case of the open state, it can receive the banknote.

在纸币输送路203的后方下侧设有由后板204a、前板204b、底板204c构成的收纳部205。后板204a有接受纸币时的位置（图中实线，以下称为存款位置）和集积来自装置内的取款纸币时的位置（图中虚线，以下称为取入位置），通过未图示的促动器沿箭头213方向运动。此外，前板204b也同样，有存款位置（图中实线）及取入位置（图中虚线），通过未图示的连杆等移动。通过将后板204a及前板204b控制为动作并停止在任意的位置，能够对收纳部205内的纸币施加适当的按压力。此外，在底板204c上设有狭缝。通过了该狭缝的异物集积在设于底板204c的下侧的异物收集箱206。The storage part 205 which consists of the rear board 204a, the front board 204b, and the bottom board 204c is provided in the rear lower side of the banknote conveyance path 203. As shown in FIG. The rear panel 204a has a position for accepting banknotes (solid line in the figure, hereinafter referred to as deposit position) and a position for accumulating withdrawal banknotes from the device (dotted line in the figure, hereinafter referred to as intake position). The actuator moves in the direction of arrow 213. In addition, the front plate 204b also has a deposit position (solid line in the figure) and a receiving position (dotted line in the figure) in the same manner, and is moved by a not-shown link or the like. By controlling the movement of the rear plate 204a and the front plate 204b and stopping at an arbitrary position, an appropriate pressing force can be applied to the banknotes in the storage unit 205 . In addition, a slit is provided on the bottom plate 204c. The foreign matter passing through the slit is collected in the foreign matter collection box 206 provided under the bottom plate 204c.

被后板204a及前板204b施加了适当的按压力的纸币被拾取辊207a一张一张地拾取，由分离辊207b向箭头X方向取入并向纸币输送路501a输送。门辊207c与分离辊207b部分重合，从而防止送出时的纸币的重送。此外，堆积辊208是将从箭头Y方向输送来的存款拒绝纸币及取款纸币输送到收纳部205的辊。The banknotes to which an appropriate pressing force is applied by the rear plate 204a and the front plate 204b are picked up one by one by the pick-up roller 207a, taken in by the separation roller 207b in the arrow X direction, and transported to the banknote transport path 501a. The gate roller 207c partially overlaps with the separation roller 207b, and prevents double feeding of the banknote at the time of sending out. Moreover, the accumulation roller 208 is a roller which conveys the deposit rejection banknote and withdrawal banknote conveyed from the arrow Y direction to the storage part 205. FIG.

在存款计数处理时发生存款拒绝纸币的情况下，需要在收纳部205的内部将未计数的纸币（分离前的纸币）和存款拒绝纸币分离。分隔板209是分隔收纳部205的板，在该分隔板209的前后，未计数的纸币和存款拒绝纸币被分离。分隔板209能够通过未图示的促动器沿着与后板204a的移动方向相同的方向动作。When a deposit-rejected banknote occurs during deposit counting processing, it is necessary to separate uncounted banknotes (banknotes before separation) and deposit-rejected banknotes inside the storage unit 205 . The partition board 209 is a board which partitions the storage part 205, and the uncounted banknote and deposit rejection banknote are separated in front and back of this partition board 209. The partition plate 209 can be moved in the same direction as the movement direction of the rear plate 204a by an actuator not shown.

以下说明作为第二夹持构件的前夹板210及后夹板211的构成。The configuration of the front clamping plate 210 and the rear clamping plate 211 as the second holding member will be described below.

前夹板210以促动器M1为驱动源，经由驱动带与输送带轮同步地被驱动。前夹板的驱动带沿装置宽度方向由2条带构成。此外，前夹板210被未图示的促动器在纸币的取入位置（图中实线）和避让位置（图中虚线）之间进行旋转驱动。The front clamp 210 is driven synchronously with the conveyor pulley via the drive belt, using the actuator M1 as a drive source. The drive belt of the front plate consists of 2 belts along the width of the device. Moreover, the front clamp 210 is rotationally driven by the actuator which is not shown in figure, between the taking-in position (solid line in a figure) and the avoidance position (a dotted line in a figure).

后夹板211被未图示的促动器沿装置的前后方向在纸币的取入位置（图中实线）和避让位置（图中虚线）之间进行滑动驱动。后夹板210的下侧的输送带轮以未图示的促动器为驱动源，并且能够以上侧的输送带轮的轴为支点沿箭头方向运动。后夹板211不与纸币接触的情况下，被未图示的弹簧等弹性部件向装置前方施力。另一方面，与纸币接触的情况下，与接触的纸币的厚度相应地向装置后方移动，对纸币束赋予按压力。The rear clamping plate 211 is slidably driven by an unillustrated actuator along the front-rear direction of the device between a banknote intake position (solid line in the figure) and an escape position (dotted line in the figure). The lower conveyor pulley of the rear clamp 210 is driven by an unillustrated actuator, and can move in the direction of the arrow with the shaft of the upper conveyor pulley as a fulcrum. When the rear plate 211 is not in contact with the banknote, it is biased toward the front of the device by an elastic member such as a spring not shown. On the other hand, when it comes into contact with a banknote, it moves to the apparatus rear according to the thickness of the banknote which contacts, and press force is given to a banknote bundle.

此外，存取款口机构20设有由多对构成的光学式传感器S1～S6，通过检测将传感器光轴遮挡的阴影状态，检测纸币的位置。In addition, the deposit and withdrawal mechanism 20 is provided with a plurality of pairs of optical sensors S1 to S6, and detects the position of the banknote by detecting the shadow state that blocks the optical axis of the sensor.

以下使用图11～图20详细说明本实施方式中的存取款口机构20的动作。存取款口机构20在存款计数动作时进行图11～图14所示的动作及处理，在取款动作（或存款纸币的返还动作）时进行图15～图20所示的动作及处理。The operation of the deposit and withdrawal port mechanism 20 in this embodiment will be described in detail below using FIGS. 11 to 20 . The deposit and withdrawal port mechanism 20 performs operations and processes shown in FIGS. 11 to 14 during deposit counting operations, and performs operations and processes shown in FIGS. 15 to 20 during withdrawal operations (or deposit banknote return operations).

图11～图13是表示存款计数动作中的存取款口机构20的状态的图。此外，图14是存款计数动作中的存取款口机构20的流程图。11 to 13 are diagrams showing states of the deposit and withdrawal port mechanism 20 during the deposit counting operation. In addition, FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the deposit and withdrawal mechanism 20 in the deposit counting operation.

首先，控制部35使后板204a及前板204b移动到存款位置（S101、S102）。另外，S101及S102的顺序也可以相反。接着，控制部35使前夹板210及后夹板211移动到避让位置（S103、S104）。另外，S103及S104的顺序也可以相反。接着，控制部35使挡块202移动到存款位置（装置上方）（S105）并将前辊203c设为开位置之后（S106），使开合挡板201移动到装置下方以成为开位置（S107）。图11是表示完成到S107之后由利用者存入了纸币的状态的图。First, the control unit 35 moves the rear plate 204a and the front plate 204b to the deposit position (S101, S102). In addition, the order of S101 and S102 may be reversed. Next, the control unit 35 moves the front clamp 210 and the rear clamp 211 to the evacuation position ( S103 , S104 ). In addition, the order of S103 and S104 may be reversed. Next, the controller 35 moves the stopper 202 to the deposit position (upper the device) (S105) and sets the front roller 203c to the open position (S106), and then moves the opening and closing shutter 201 to the lower side of the device to the open position (S107). ). FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a state in which banknotes have been deposited by the user after completion of S107.

在图8所示的状态之后，控制部35在传感器S4检测到纸币后（S108：是），使纸币输送路203向图8所示的箭头方向驱动（S109）。接着，由传感器S5检测到被输送的纸币后（S110：是），控制部35暂时停止纸币输送路203的驱动（S111）。此外，控制部35使前辊203c移动到闭位置（S112），使挡块202移动到装置下方以成为避让位置（S113）。然后，控制部35再次使纸币输送路203驱动，从而将纸币向收纳部205方向输送（S114）。图12是表示完成到S114之后将纸币向收纳部205方向输送的状态的图。这时，后辊203d处于向纸币输送路203侧关闭的状态，但是纸币被直接输送并投入收纳部205。After the state shown in FIG. 8, the control part 35 drives the banknote conveyance path 203 to the arrow direction shown in FIG. 8, after sensor S4 detects a banknote (S108: YES) (S109). Next, when the conveyed banknote is detected by the sensor S5 (S110: YES), the control part 35 temporarily stops the drive of the banknote conveyance path 203 (S111). In addition, the control unit 35 moves the front roller 203c to the closed position (S112), and moves the stopper 202 to the lower side of the device so as to be at the evacuation position (S113). And the control part 35 drives the banknote conveyance path 203 again, and conveys a banknote to the storage part 205 direction (S114). FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a state in which banknotes are conveyed toward the storage unit 205 after S114 is completed. At this time, although the rear roller 203d is in the state closed to the side of the banknote conveyance path 203, the banknote is directly conveyed and put into the accommodating part 205. FIG.

由传感器S1～S3检测到纸币到达收纳部205后（S115：是），控制部35使纸币输送路203的驱动停止（S116）。图9是表示完成到S116之后将纸币收纳到收纳部205的状态的图。然后，控制部35使拾取辊207a、分离辊207b及门辊207c开始纸币的分离，向图13所示的箭头X方向输送纸币（S117）。When the sensors S1 to S3 detect that the banknotes have reached the storage unit 205 (S115: YES), the control unit 35 stops the drive of the banknote conveyance path 203 (S116). FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a state in which banknotes are stored in the storage unit 205 after S116 is completed. Then, the control part 35 makes the pick-up roller 207a, the separation roller 207b, and the gate roller 207c start separation of a banknote, and conveys a banknote to the arrow X direction shown in FIG. 13 (S117).

通过挡块202对利用者投入的纸币修正姿势。此外，即使在输送途中成为纸币歪扭的状态，由于在收纳部205中纸币以立起状态被集积，所以与收纳部205的底板204c接触时歪扭被修正。进而，即使在纸币内混入了硬币等异物，该异物通过重力被集积到沿垂直方向配置的异物收集箱206。The posture of the bill inserted by the user is corrected by the stopper 202 . In addition, even if the banknotes are distorted during conveyance, since the banknotes are accumulated in the upright state in the storage unit 205 , the distortion is corrected when they come into contact with the bottom plate 204 c of the storage unit 205 . Furthermore, even if foreign matter such as coins is mixed into the banknote, the foreign matter is collected by gravity in the foreign matter collection box 206 arranged in the vertical direction.

图15～图18是表示取款动作中的存取款口机构20的状态的图。此外，图19是取款动作中的存取款口机构20的流程图。15 to 18 are diagrams showing states of the deposit and withdrawal port mechanism 20 during the withdrawal operation. In addition, FIG. 19 is a flowchart of the deposit and withdrawal port mechanism 20 in the withdrawal operation.

首先，控制部35使后板204a移动到取入位置（装置前方）（S301），在将前夹板210及后夹板210避让到收纳部205的外侧的状态下，使后辊203d移动到开位置（从纸币输送路203离开的一侧），使前辊203c移动到闭位置（纸币输送路203侧），使挡块202移动到避让位置（装置下侧）（S302、303、304、305、306）。另外，S301～306的顺序任意。First, the control unit 35 moves the rear plate 204a to the take-in position (device front) (S301), and moves the rear roller 203d to the open position while the front clamp 210 and the rear clamp 210 are retracted to the outside of the storage unit 205. (the side away from the banknote conveying path 203), the front roller 203c is moved to the closed position (the banknote conveying path 203 side), and the stopper 202 is moved to the avoidance position (the lower side of the device) (S302, 303, 304, 305, 306). In addition, the order of S301-306 is arbitrary.

然后，如图15所示，控制部35将从箭头Y方向输送来的取款纸币集积到收纳部205（S307）。在取款纸币的集积后，控制部35使前夹板210、后夹板211及后板203a移动（S308、S309）而夹持纸币（S310）。另外，S308及S309的顺序也可以相反。图16是表示完成到S310之后夹持纸币的状态。Then, as shown in FIG. 15, the control part 35 accumulates the withdrawal banknote conveyed from the arrow Y direction in the storage part 205 (S307). After accumulation|stacking of a withdrawal banknote, the control part 35 moves the front clamping plate 210, the rear clamping plate 211, and the rear plate 203a (S308, S309), and clamps a banknote (S310). In addition, the order of S308 and S309 may be reversed. Fig. 16 shows the state of clamping banknotes after completion of S310.

被前夹板210及后夹板211夹持的纸币通过前后夹板的各个夹板带，使纸币比收纳部205突出并沿纸币输送路203输送（S311）。图17表示完成到S311之后纸币沿纸币输送路203被输送的状态。The banknotes clamped by the front clamping plate 210 and the rear clamping plate 211 are conveyed along the banknote conveyance path 203 by protruding the banknote from the storage part 205 by each clamping belt of the front and rear clamping plates (S311). FIG. 17 shows a state in which banknotes are transported along the banknote transport path 203 after S311 is completed.

由传感器S6检测到纸币到达纸币输送路203后（S312：是），控制部35使前夹板210及后夹板211的驱动停止（S313）。然后，控制部35使后辊203d移动到闭位置（S314），使前夹板210、后夹板211及纸币输送路203驱动，将纸币向开合挡板201及挡块202方向输送（S315）。由传感器S4检测到纸币后（S316：是），控制部35使前夹板210、后夹板211及纸币输送路203停止（S317），将开合挡板201打开（S318）。然后，控制部35再次使纸币输送路203驱动（S319），使纸币从开口部20a突出，使输送路203停止（S320）。图18表示完成到S320之后纸币从开口部20a突出的状态。此外，图19是完成到S320之后的存取款口机构20及纸币插入引导件150周边的侧视图。纸币插入引导件150设有凹陷部152及153，所以当利用者取出纸币时，能够一边确认凹陷部152的下方的纸币一边取出纸币。特别是，使纸币插入引导件150在装置的前后方向较长、并且到传感器S4检测到纸币被拔出为止取出纸币的距离较短时，通过设置凹陷部152，不必取出纸币就能够对纸币进行确认。When the sensor S6 detects that the banknote arrives at the banknote conveyance path 203 (S312: YES), the control part 35 stops the drive of the front clamp 210 and the rear clamp 211 (S313). Then, the control unit 35 moves the rear roller 203d to the closed position (S314), drives the front plate 210, the rear plate 211, and the banknote transport path 203, and transports the banknotes toward the opening and closing flapper 201 and the stopper 202 (S315). After the banknote is detected by the sensor S4 (S316: YES), the control unit 35 stops the front plate 210, the rear plate 211, and the banknote transport path 203 (S317), and opens the shutter 201 (S318). And the control part 35 drives the banknote conveyance path 203 again (S319), makes a banknote protrude from the opening part 20a, and stops the conveyance path 203 (S320). FIG. 18 shows a state in which banknotes protrude from the opening 20a after completion of S320. In addition, FIG. 19 is a side view of the deposit and withdrawal opening mechanism 20 and the banknote insertion guide 150 periphery after completion|finish to S320. Since the banknote insertion guide 150 is provided with the recessed parts 152 and 153, when a user takes out a banknote, he can take out a banknote while confirming the banknote under the recessed part 152. In particular, when the banknote insertion guide 150 is long in the front-rear direction of the device and the distance to take out the banknote until the sensor S4 detects that the banknote is pulled out is short, by providing the recessed portion 152, the banknote can be processed without taking out the banknote. confirm.

由传感器S4检测到纸币被拔出（传感器成为“轻”状态）后（S321：是），控制部35将开合挡板201关闭（S322）。When the sensor S4 detects that the banknote is pulled out (the sensor is in the "light" state) (S321: YES), the control unit 35 closes the shutter 201 (S322).

另外，在出现存款拒绝纸币的情况下，也进行与取款动作同样的处理。出现存款拒绝纸币而纸币的分离由于某种理由停止的情况下，存款拒绝纸币和未分离的纸币存在于分隔板209的前后。这种情况下，在跨过分隔板209的状态下，被前夹板210及后夹板211夹持的纸币在从收纳部205突出的状态下被交给纸币输送路203，并被输送到开口部20a。In addition, when deposit rejection banknotes appear, the same process as a withdrawal operation is performed. When a deposit-rejected banknote occurs and the separation of the banknote stops for some reason, the deposit-rejected banknote and unseparated banknotes exist before and after the partition plate 209 . In this case, the banknotes clamped by the front clamping plate 210 and the rear clamping plate 211 are handed over to the banknote transport path 203 in a state protruding from the storage portion 205 in a state of straddling the partition plate 209, and are transported to the opening. 20a.

如以上那样，在以立起方向分离/集积纸币的收纳部的上侧设置一并输送纸币束的输送路，该输送路向利用者操作面水平地突出，由此，利用者的操作性较好，并且能够使以各种尺寸、姿势放置的纸币束的端面对齐，在防止歪扭的情况下取入，在之后的分离、输送、识别、集积等各动作中，能够防止卡纸或拒绝，提供可靠性高的装置。此外，能够提供纸币束中混入的硬币等的除去性好的装置。As above, a transport path for collectively transporting banknote bundles is provided on the upper side of the accommodating portion for separating/stacking banknotes in the standing direction, and the transport path protrudes horizontally toward the user's operation surface, thereby improving the user's operability. It is good, and can align the end faces of banknote bundles placed in various sizes and postures, and take them in without twisting, and can prevent paper jams or Rejection, provide a device with high reliability. In addition, it is possible to provide a device with good removability of coins and the like mixed in the banknote bundle.

此外，在纸币投入前，能够通过挡块使纸币束对齐，所以能够防止歪扭，能够提供输送性能好的装置。In addition, before the banknotes are inserted, the banknote bundles can be aligned by the stoppers, so twisting can be prevented, and a device with good conveyance performance can be provided.

此外，通过采用本装置，从现金分配器放出的纸币、卡、收据等媒介的接受/送出方向与本装置的纸币的存取款纸币的接受/送出方向相同，能够提供对利用者来说操作性好的装置。In addition, by adopting this device, the accepting/delivering direction of banknotes, cards, receipts and other media released from the cash dispenser is the same as the accepting/delivering direction of the deposit and withdrawal banknotes of the banknotes of this device, and it is possible to provide convenient operation for the user. Good device.

此外，收纳部上侧的输送单元能够从收纳部取下，所以在不需要水平地接受/送出纸币的情况下，通过将输送单元取下，能够在收纳部内的夹板中与利用者之间接受/送出纸币，能够提供更紧凑且可靠性高的装置。In addition, the transport unit on the upper side of the storage unit can be removed from the storage unit, so when it is not necessary to accept/deliver banknotes horizontally, by removing the transport unit, it can be accepted between the user and the user on the clamping plate in the storage unit. / Sending out banknotes, a more compact and highly reliable device can be provided.
