Description

The present invention relates to a medium processing device and a medium trading device, and is suitable for application to, for example, an automated teller machine (ATM) in which a customer inserts a medium such as a banknote to perform a desired transaction.

Conventionally, in an automated teller machine or the like used in a financial institution or a store, for example, a customer is made to deposit cash such as banknotes or coins, and cash is withdrawn to the customer according to the contents of a transaction with the customer. As an automatic cash transaction device, for example, a banknote deposit / withdrawal unit for exchanging banknotes with a customer, a discrimination unit for discriminating the denomination and authenticity of the inserted banknotes, and a temporarily holding the inserted banknotes. Some have a temporary holding unit, a transport unit for transporting bills, and a bill storage for storing bills for each denomination. Some such automated teller machines are configured such that a banknote storage is detachable from a mounting portion in a transport portion provided in the automated teller machine (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Some such automated teller machines transmit driving force from the transport unit 120 to the counterfeit ticket store 118 by the drive transmission unit 156 shown in FIG. The counterfeit ticket storage 118 is configured to be detachable from the transport unit 120 along the vertical direction, and is mounted on the transport unit 120 so that the receiving port 140 of the counterfeit ticket storage 118 is mounted on the transport unit 120. It is connected to the delivery port 130 of 120. As a result, the counterfeit ticket store 118 can receive banknotes from the transport unit 120. In the mounted state, banknotes transported by a drive roller (not shown) rotating around the drive roller shaft 137 provided in the transport unit 120 are centered on the integrated roller shaft 139 provided in the false ticket storage 118. It is sent out to the inside of the fake ticket storage 118 by a rotating integrated roller (not shown).

The drive transmission unit 156 is composed of a transport unit side drive unit 158 and a storage side drive unit 160, and transmits the driving force of the drive roller shaft 137 to the integrated roller shaft 139. The transport unit side drive unit 158 has a gear 162, a gear joint bracket 164, a gear 92, a transport unit side drive joint gear 166, and a reset spring 168. The storage side drive unit 160 has a gear 174.

The gear 162 is fixed coaxially with the drive roller shaft 137, and rotates counterclockwise in FIG. 8 in synchronization with the drive roller shaft 137. The gear joint bracket 164 is rotatably attached with the joint fulcrum 164A as a fulcrum, and rotatably supports the gear 92 and the transport portion side drive joint gear 166. The reset spring 168 is a tension spring and urges the gear joint bracket 164 counterclockwise in a direction in which the transport portion side drive joint gear 166 is pushed upward against the gear 174.

The gear 174 is fixed coaxially with the integrated roller shaft 139, and by meshing with the upper part of the transport unit side drive joint gear 166 at the contact point A, the driving force is transmitted from the transport unit side drive joint gear 166, and the drive force is transmitted. In synchronization with the integration roller shaft 139, it rotates in the integration direction, which is clockwise in FIG.

When the fake ticket storage 118 is mounted, the drive force is transmitted from the drive roller shaft 137 to the integrated roller shaft 139 by connecting the gear 162, the gear 92, the transport unit side drive joint gear 166, and the gear 174.

The relationship between the forces acting on the drive transmission unit 156 is shown in FIG. Hereinafter, a case will be described in which the shaft of the gear 174, that is, the integrated roller shaft 139 is locked so as not to rotate in the integrated direction due to, for example, a jam of banknotes.

First, a transmission torque T that rotates the transport unit-side drive joint gear 166 counterclockwise in the drawing is transmitted from the gear 162 to the transport unit-side drive joint gear 166 via the gear 92. At this time, assuming that the length from the gear shaft 166A, which is the rotation axis of the transport unit side drive joint gear 166, to the contact point A is the gear pitch radius r, the transmission force F given to the gear 174 by the transport unit side drive joint gear 166 is It is obtained by the transmission torque T / gear pitch radius r. The direction of the transmission force F is the direction in which the transmission torque T is directed along the circumscribed line between the transport portion side drive joint gear 166 and the gear 174 passing through the contact point A.

At this time, a reaction force −F having the same magnitude is generated as a reaction from the locked gear 174 to the transport portion side drive joint gear 166 from the contact point A in the direction opposite to the transmission force F. Further, the component force of the reaction force −F in the direction perpendicular to the line segment connecting the joint fulcrum 164A and the contact point A is the reaction force vertical component force −f.

Therefore, the gear moment MG is given to the gear joint bracket 164 from the locked gear 174 as a moment centered on the joint fulcrum 164A. The magnitude of this gear moment MG is obtained by the absolute value of the reaction force vertical component force −f × the joint distance L, where the length from the joint fulcrum 164A to the contact point A is the joint distance L. The direction of the gear moment MG is a direction in which the gear joint bracket 164 is rotated clockwise so that the transport portion side drive joint gear 166 is separated from the gear 174 in the downward direction.

Further, a reset spring moment MS is given from the reset spring 168 to the gear joint bracket 164 as a moment centered on the joint fulcrum 164A. The direction of the reset spring moment MS is a direction in which the gear joint bracket 164 is rotated counterclockwise in order to press the transport portion side drive joint gear 166 against the gear 174.

Therefore, in the mounted state, the drive transmission unit 156 can maintain the meshing between the transfer unit side drive joint gear 166 and the gear 174, and can continue to transmit the drive force from the transfer unit 120 to the fake ticket storage 118.

The above has described the case where the integrated roller shaft 139 is locked so that it cannot rotate in the integrated direction. However, even when the integrated roller shaft 139 normally rotates in the integrated direction, the reaction force −F and the reaction force in the vertical direction Although the force −f and the gear moment MG are smaller in magnitude, such a force is generated to some extent.

Since such a conventional counterfeit ticket storage 118 has a certain amount of its own weight, it is transmitted from the transport unit 120 to the counterfeit ticket storage 118 when it is placed on the transport unit 120 and is in the mounted state. Due to the driving force, it was rarely lifted from the transport unit 120.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2016-57967

Banknote storages that store banknotes that customers have forgotten to pick up, banknotes that are not suitable for withdrawal (rejected banknotes), fake banknotes, etc. have a relatively small number of banknotes, and in recent years, they have been made smaller and lighter. Here, if the drive transmission unit 156 is applied to the lightened fake ticket storage 118, the fake ticket storage 118 may be lifted from the transport unit 120 due to the reset spring moment MS. If the fake ticket storage 118 floats up, the heights of the receiving port 140 of the fake ticket storage 118 and the delivery port 132 of the transport unit 120 may deviate from each other, which may adversely affect the transport quality such as banknote clogging.

Further, the main control unit 9 has a storage unit including a RAM (Random Access Memory), a hard disk drive, a flash memory, and the like inside, and stores various information in this storage unit.

[1-2. Internal configuration of banknote deposit / withdrawal machine]
As shown in the side view in FIG. 2, the banknote deposit / withdrawal machine 10 has a plurality of parts inside which perform various processes related to banknotes as a medium. The bill deposit / withdrawal machine 10 is roughly divided into an upper unit 10U that occupies a portion above the center in the vertical direction, and a lower unit 10D that occupies a lower portion thereof.

The upper unit 10U includes a banknote control unit 11 that controls and controls the entire system, a deposit / withdrawal unit 12 that exchanges banknotes with and from customers, a transport unit 20 that transports banknotes to each unit, and a discrimination unit 14 that discriminates banknotes. A temporary holding unit 15 for temporarily storing banknotes and a fake ticket storage 18 for storing banknotes are provided.

Like the main control unit 9, the bill control unit 11 is mainly composed of a CPU (not shown), and determines a bill transport destination by reading a predetermined program from a ROM (not shown), a flash memory, or the like and executing the program. Various processes such as processing and processing for controlling the operation of each part are performed. Further, the bill control unit 11 has a storage unit including a RAM and a flash memory inside, and stores various information in this storage unit. For example, the bill control unit 11 stores the denomination and the number of bills stored in each part of the bill deposit / withdrawal machine 10 in this storage unit, and updates them as needed.

The deposit / withdrawal unit 12 is located at the front upper portion in the upper unit 10U. The deposit / withdrawal unit 12 has an internal container for accommodating banknotes received from the user and banknotes to be delivered to the user, and the upper part thereof can be opened / closed by a shutter. A plurality of banknotes are stored in the container in a state of being accumulated with the paper surface facing the front-back direction. The deposit / withdrawal unit 12 separates the banknotes in the container one by one and delivers them to the transport unit 20, and also discharges the banknotes received from the transport unit 20 into the container and accumulates them.

The transport unit 20 has a middle transport unit 21 arranged on the lower side and an upper transport unit 22 arranged near the rear end on the upper side of the middle transport unit 21. The middle transport portion 21 is located at the lower end portion in the upper unit 10U, and has a shape that is thin in the vertical direction and elongated in the front-rear direction as a whole. A transport guide for guiding the bills, a large number of rotating rollers, and the like are appropriately arranged in the middle transport portion 21, and the short sides of the bills are transported along the traveling direction mainly in the front-rear direction. A straight transport path is formed. The upper transport unit 22 is arranged near the rear end on the upper side of the middle transport unit 21, and transports banknotes from the lower end to the upper front side.

The discrimination unit 14 is incorporated in the middle transport unit 21 and is located between the deposit / withdrawal unit 12 and the temporary holding unit 15 on the bill transport route. The discrimination unit 14 incorporates a plurality of types of sensors such as a thickness sensor, an image sensor, and a magnetic sensor, and determines the denomination, authenticity, correctness (whether or not it is damaged), etc. of the bill to be transported. It recognizes and sends the recognition result to the bill control unit 11.

The temporary holding portion 15 employs a so-called tape escrow method, in which the banknotes are stored by wrapping the banknotes around the peripheral side surface of the cylindrical drum together with the tape, and the banknotes are peeled off together with the tape from the peripheral side surface. The bill is paid out.

The counterfeit ticket storage 18 is provided at a position closer to the rear on the upper side of the middle transport unit 21 and adjacent to the front side of the upper transport unit 22. The counterfeit ticket storage 18 receives and stores the counterfeit banknotes determined by the discriminating unit 14 from the counterfeit banknotes and transported by the upper transport unit 22.

All the peripheral sides of the lower unit 10D are covered with a sturdy safe housing 10S. Inside the safe housing 10S, five bill storages 16 and a reject storage 17 are provided from the rear side to the front side.

Each banknote storage 16 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape that is long in the vertical direction, and has a space for accumulating and storing banknotes inside. Further, each banknote storage 16 has a preset denomination of banknotes to be stored. When the banknote storage 16 receives the banknotes from the middle transport unit 21, the banknote storage 16 collects and stores the banknotes inside. When the bill storage 16 receives an instruction to pay out the bills from the bill control unit 11, the bill storage 16 separates the accumulated bills one by one and pays them out, and delivers them to the middle transport unit 21.

The reject storage 17 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape that is long in the vertical direction, and has a space for accumulating and storing banknotes inside. When a banknote (so-called rejected banknote) determined by the discrimination unit 14 and the banknote control unit 11 to be severely damaged and should not be reused is transported by the middle transport unit 21, the reject storage 17 is the banknote. Is stored inside.

[1-3. Deposit processing]
Next, a deposit process in the banknote deposit / withdrawal machine 10 when a deposit transaction is performed with a customer by the automated teller machine 1 will be described. In the banknote deposit / withdrawal machine 10, based on the control of the banknote control unit 11, the banknote deposit / withdrawal machine 10 first performs a deposit counting process of counting the number of banknotes while discriminating the denomination and the like of the deposited banknotes, and then appropriately stores the banknotes. Performs deposit storage processing to transport and store to a location.

Specifically, when the bill control unit 11 receives, for example, an operation input to the effect that a deposit transaction is started by the customer via the operation display unit 6 (FIG. 1), the bill control unit 11 starts the deposit counting process and informs the customer of the deposit / withdrawal unit 12. Banknotes are inserted into the container, separated and taken in one by one, and sequentially delivered to the middle transport unit 21. The middle transport unit 21 sequentially transports the banknotes received from the deposit / withdrawal unit 12 to the rear, and the discrimination unit 14 sequentially discriminates each banknote. At this time, the discrimination unit 14 sends the obtained discrimination result to the bill control unit 11.

The banknote control unit 11 determines the degree of damage, the denomination, or the authenticity of each banknote based on the acquired discrimination result. Next, the bill control unit 11 determines that each bill is a deposit-accepted bill that can continue the subsequent processing if it can be recognized as a normal bill, and if it cannot be recognized as a normal bill, it returns it to the customer once. Determining that the banknote should be rejected.

Further, the banknote control unit 11 finally stores the banknotes 16 for each denomination for normal and reusable banknotes, and the reject banknote 17 for rejected banknotes with a large degree of damage. Determine as a destination. Further, the bill control unit 11 determines the fake ticket storage 18 as the final destination for the fake ticket.

Subsequently, the banknote control unit 11 transports and stores the deposit-accepted banknotes and fake banknotes to the temporary holding unit 15 and stores the deposit-rejected banknotes in the transporting unit 20 according to the determination result of the banknotes.

Eventually, when the banknote control unit 11 finishes taking in all the banknotes from the container of the deposit / withdrawal unit 12, if the deposit rejected banknotes are stored in the transport unit 20, the banknote control unit 11 returns them to the customer. As a result, the bill control unit 11 conveys the bill to the deposit / withdrawal unit 12 and returns it to the customer, confirms the state of the bill, and reinserts it if necessary. On the other hand, the bill control unit 11 completes the deposit counting process if the deposit reject bills are not stored in the transport unit 20.

At this time, the bill control unit 11 calculates the deposit amount based on the total result of the denomination and the number of bills taken in from the deposit / withdrawal unit 12, displays a predetermined operation instruction screen on the operation display unit 6, and deposits the bill. Present the amount to the customer and let them choose whether or not to continue the deposit transaction. Here, when the customer instructs the customer to cancel the deposit transaction, the bill control unit 11 transports all the bills held in the temporary holding unit 15 to the deposit / withdrawal unit 12 by the transport unit 20 and returns them to the customer.

On the other hand, the bill control unit 11 starts the deposit storage process when the customer instructs the customer to continue the deposit transaction. Specifically, the banknote control unit 11 first starts the operation processing in the temporary holding unit 15, and sequentially pays out the stored banknotes (payment acceptance banknotes and fake banknotes).

At this time, the bill control unit 11 transports and stores each bill to each destination by appropriately switching the transport route of the bill in each switching unit according to the destination of each bill determined in the deposit counting process. Let me. As a result, the banknote control unit 11 classifies ordinary banknotes to be reused according to denomination and stores them in each banknote storage 16, and also stores rejected banknotes that should not be reused in the reject storage 17. The fake ticket is stored in the fake ticket storage 18.

[1-4. Configuration of upper transport section and upper storage]
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the upper transport portion 22 is configured in a rectangular parallelepiped shape as a whole, and the periphery thereof is covered with the upper transport portion housing 23. On the lower surface of the upper transport unit housing 23, a receiving port 29 for receiving bills from the delivery port 32 of the middle transport unit 21 is provided. Further, a delivery port 30 for delivering bills to the fake ticket storage 18 is provided near the upper end of the upper transport portion front surface 23F, which is the front surface of the upper transport portion housing 23.

Inside the upper transport unit 22, a transport path 31 for transporting banknotes from the receiving port 29 to the delivery port 30 is formed. The transport path 31 guides the bills upward from the receiving port 29 by a transport guide or the like (not shown), and then bends forward to advance to the delivery port 30.

Further, inside the upper transport unit 22, a plurality of transport roller pairs 34 are arranged at predetermined intervals along the transport path 31. The transfer roller pair 34 closest to the delivery port 30 is composed of a combination of a drive roller 35 arranged on the upper side of the transfer path 31 and a driven roller 36 arranged on the lower side of the transfer path 31.

The drive roller 35 is provided on the rear upper side of the delivery port 30 on the upper side of the transport path 31, and is formed in a columnar shape with the drive roller shaft 37 (FIG. 6), which is the central axis, oriented in the left-right direction, and is not shown. Driving force is supplied from the motor via gears, belts, etc. (not shown) to rotate. Like the drive roller 35, the driven roller 36 is formed in a columnar shape with the central axis oriented in the left-right direction, and is pressed upward by a spring (not shown), that is, toward the drive roller 35 in a state where it can rotate freely. Has been done. Therefore, when the bills are conveyed from the rear along the transport path 31, the drive roller 35 and the driven roller 36 sandwich the bills between them and transmit the driving force from the rotating drive rollers 35. As a result, the banknotes are further forwarded along the transport path 31.

The counterfeit ticket storage 18 is configured in a rectangular parallelepiped shape as a whole, and its periphery is covered with the counterfeit ticket storage housing 19. Further, the counterfeit ticket storage 18 has a receiving port 40 for receiving banknotes from the upper transport unit 22 near the upper end of the rear surface 19B of the counterfeit ticket storage, which is the rear surface, and transports the banknotes in the counterfeit ticket storage.

An accumulation roller 38 is provided on the lower front side of the receiving port 40 on the lower side of the transport path 41 in the counterfeit ticket storage. The integrated roller 38 is formed in a columnar shape with the integrated roller shaft 39 (FIG. 6), which is the central axis, oriented in the left-right direction, and driving force is supplied from the drive roller shaft 37 via a drive transmission unit 56 described later. It rotates by. A plurality of tongue pieces 52 formed of elastic members such as rubber are provided on the integrated roller shaft 39 at predetermined intervals in the left-right direction, and rotate in synchronization with the integrated roller shaft 39. The tongue piece 52 rotates clockwise in FIG. 4 together with the accumulating roller 38 to hit the rear end portion of the banknote sent from the receiving port 40 to the storage space 42. A stage 53 is provided in the counterfeit ticket storage 18, and bills released from the receiving port 40 are collected. The stage 53 is supported from below by a spring 54, and the spring 54 contracts according to the number of banknotes accumulated in the stage 53 to secure an appropriate accumulation space.

[1-5. Configuration of drive transmission unit]
As shown in FIG. 6, the drive transmission unit 56 includes a transport unit side drive unit 58 and a storage side drive unit 60, and transmits the driving force of the drive roller shaft 37 to the integrated roller shaft 39. Further, FIG. 6 shows a state in which the upper transport unit 22 and the fake ticket storage 18 are seen through from the left side. The transport unit side drive unit 58 as the main body side drive unit includes a gear 62, a gear joint bracket 64, a transport unit side drive joint gear 66, and a reset spring 68. The storage side drive unit 60 has a fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72 and a gear 74.

The gear 62 as the second gear on the main body side is fixed coaxially with the drive roller shaft 37 inside the right end portion near the upper end of the upper transport portion 22, and has a flat disk shape with the central axis directed in the left-right direction. It is formed in the above direction and rotates in the main body side second gear integration direction, which is counterclockwise in FIG. 6, in synchronization with the drive roller shaft 37.

The gear joint bracket 64 is a thin member in the left-right direction, and can swing in the pressing direction, which is counterclockwise in the figure, and the retracting direction, which is clockwise in the figure, with the joint fulcrum 64A, which is the axis of the drive roller shaft 37, as the fulcrum. It is attached. A stud 70 is crimped to the front of the gear joint bracket 64 on the mounting direction side with respect to the joint fulcrum 64A which is the central axis of the gear 62, and the transport portion side drive joint gear 66 is the stud 70 via the bearing 71. It is rotatably attached to the gear joint bracket 64 about the gear shaft 66A, which is the central shaft. Therefore, the gear joint bracket 64 rotates the transport portion side drive joint gear 66 with the joint fulcrum 64A as a fulcrum while keeping the distance between the joint fulcrum 64A and the gear shaft 66A constant. FIG. 6 shows a pressed state in which the gear joint bracket 64 is positioned so that the transport portion side drive joint gear 66 meshes with the false ticket storage side drive joint gear 72.

The transport unit side drive joint gear 66 as the first gear on the main body side has a larger outer shape than the gear 62, is formed in a flat disk shape with the gear shaft 66A facing in the left-right direction, and is formed on the side in the mounting direction of the gear 62. By engaging with the front, a driving force is transmitted from the gear 62, and the gear 62 rotates in the clockwise direction of the first gear on the main body side in FIG. The front end portion of the transport portion side drive joint gear 66 is exposed forward of the front surface 23F of the upper transport portion.

The reset spring 68 as an urging member is a tension spring, and the lower end is fixed to the upper transport portion housing 23, while the upper end is fixed to the rear end portion of the gear joint bracket 64 in the detachment direction to drive the transport portion side. The gear joint bracket 64 is urged around the joint fulcrum 64A in the counterclockwise direction in which the joint gear 66 is pressed against the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72.

The fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72 as the first gear on the storage storage side is a gear shaft at a position slightly recessed from the right side surface to the left side of the fake ticket storage housing 19 in the fake ticket storage 18 (FIG. 5 (B)). The gear shaft 72A, which is a central shaft located in front of the 66A in the detachment direction, is rotatably provided. The fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72 is formed in a flat disk shape with the central axis oriented in the left-right direction, and meshes with the front of the transport portion side drive joint gear 66 on the mounting direction side at the contact point A. The driving force is transmitted from the transport unit side drive joint gear 66, and the gear rotates counterclockwise in FIG. 6 in the storage side first gear integration direction. A one-way clutch is attached to the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72, and when the driving force for rotating the first gear accumulation direction (counterclockwise) on the storage side is transmitted to the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72. While the driving force for rotating clockwise is transmitted to the counterfeit ticket storage side drive joint gear 72, the driving force is not transmitted to the gear 74 due to idling. In this way, the transport unit side drive joint gear 66 rotates about the gear shaft 66A located on the disengagement direction side of the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72 from the gear shaft 72A, and is on the disengagement direction side of the gear shaft 72A. It abuts on the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72.

The gear 74 as the second gear on the storage side is coaxially fixed to the integrated roller shaft 39 located in front of the central axis of the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72 in the detachment direction side, and the central axis is oriented in the left-right direction. It is formed in the shape of a flat disk toward. The gear 74 meshes with the front of the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72 on the detachment direction side, so that the driving force is transmitted from the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72, and is synchronized with the integrated roller shaft 39. 6 Rotate in the accumulation direction, which is clockwise in the middle. A one-way clutch is mounted on the gear 74, and the gear 74 rotates only when the driving force for rotating the gear 74 is transmitted to the gear 74, while the driving force for rotating the gear 74 counterclockwise is transmitted to the gear 74. It spins.

In the mounted state of the fake ticket storage 18, the gear 62, the transport unit side drive joint gear 66, the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72 and the gear 74 are connected to drive the drive roller shaft 37 to the integrated roller shaft 39. Power is transmitted.

[1-6. Relationship of acting forces]
The relationship between the forces acting on the drive transmission unit 56 is shown in FIG. Hereinafter, a case will be described in which the shaft of the gear 74, that is, the integrated roller shaft 39 is locked so as not to rotate in the integrated direction due to, for example, jamming of banknotes.

First, a transmission torque T for rotating the transport unit side drive joint gear 66 in the main body side first gear integration direction is transmitted from the gear 62 to the transport unit side drive joint gear 66. At this time, assuming that the length from the gear shaft 66A to the contact point A is the gear pitch radius r, the transmission force F given by the transport unit side drive joint gear 66 to the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72 is the transmission torque T / gear pitch radius. Obtained by r. The direction of the transmission force F is the direction in which the transmission torque T is directed along the circumscribed line between the transport portion side drive joint gear 66 passing through the contact point A and the counterfeit ticket storage side drive joint gear 72. At this time, the component force in the vertical direction of the transmission force F is the transmission force vertical component force Fy.

In this way, the drive transmission unit 56 brings the transport unit side drive joint gear 66 into contact with the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72 on the side away from the center of the gear shaft 72A, and the transmission force in the vertical downward direction is vertical. By transmitting the component force Fy, a force for pressing downward is applied to the counterfeit ticket storage side drive joint gear 72. As a result, the drive transmission unit 56 presses the counterfeit ticket storage 18 downward against the transport unit 20.

At this time, a reaction force −F having the same magnitude is applied from the locked gear 74 to the transport unit side drive joint gear 66 via the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72 in the direction opposite to the transmission force F from the contact point A. It occurs as a reaction. Further, the component force of the reaction force −F in the direction perpendicular to the line segment connecting the joint fulcrum 64A and the contact point A is the reaction force vertical component force −f.

At this time, although the transport unit side drive joint gear 66 tries to rotate in the main body side first gear accumulation direction along the direction of the transmission torque T, the gear 74 and the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72 do not rotate, so that the lock A gear moment MG is given to the gear joint bracket 64 from the gear 74 through the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72 as a moment centered on the joint fulcrum 64A. The magnitude of this gear moment MG is obtained by the absolute value of the reaction force vertical component force −f × the joint distance L, where the length from the joint fulcrum 64A to the contact point A is the joint distance L. The direction of this gear moment MG is the direction in which the gear joint bracket 64 is rotated in the pressing direction.

Further, a reset spring moment MS is given from the reset spring 68 to the gear joint bracket 64 as a moment centered on the joint fulcrum 64A. The direction of the reset spring moment MS is the direction in which the gear joint bracket 64 is rotated in the pressing direction.

In this way, in the drive transmission unit 56, the gear moment MG and the reset spring moment MS are oriented in the same direction, and the gear joint is made to bite the transport unit side drive joint gear 66 into the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72. Bracket 64 is urged. Therefore, in the mounted state, the drive transmission unit 56 maintains the engagement between the transport unit side drive joint gear 66 and the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72, and continues to transmit the driving force from the upper transport unit 22 to the fake ticket storage 18. Can be done.

In this way, the drive transmission unit 56 brings the transport unit side drive joint gear 66 into contact with the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72 on the side away from the center of the gear shaft 72A, and causes the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72. By biting the transport portion side drive joint gear 66 forward in the direction toward the direction, a force for pressing the counterfeit ticket storage side drive joint gear 72 downward is applied. As a result, the drive transmission unit 56 presses the counterfeit ticket storage 18 downward against the transport unit 20.

The case where the integrated roller shaft 39 is locked so as not to rotate in the integrated direction has been described above, but even when the integrated roller shaft 39 normally rotates in the integrated direction, the reaction force −F and the reaction force in the vertical direction Although the force −f and the gear moment MG are smaller in magnitude, such a force is generated to some extent.

When the fake ticket storage 18 is in the mounted state, when it is lowered from above with respect to the fake ticket storage mounting portion 26 in the mounting direction, the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72 of the transport portion side drive joint gear 66 in the pressed state The gear joint bracket 64 is brought into a retracted state by abutting on the front side surface and rotating in the retracting direction, and the transport unit side drive joint gear 66 is moved rearward and retracted from the movement path of the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72. .. Further, when the fake ticket storage 18 is lowered in the mounting direction, the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72 enters the front side and the mounting direction side of the transport portion side drive joint gear 66, and the gear joint bracket 64 rotates in the pressing direction. It becomes a pressed state. As a result, the fake ticket storage 18 is in the mounted state.

Here, if the gear 62, the transport unit side drive joint gear 66, and the gear joint bracket 64 are arranged in a state of being rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise, the joint fulcrum 64A and the contact point A are arranged to some extent in the left-right direction. When the gear joint bracket 64 rotates, the transport unit side drive joint gear 66 is moved substantially in the vertical direction. In this case, the gear joint bracket 64 rotates when the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72 comes into contact with the front, and moves the transport unit side drive joint gear 66 substantially in the vertical direction (mounting / detaching direction). However, it becomes difficult to move the transport unit side drive joint gear 66 in the front-rear direction orthogonal to the mounting / detaching direction. Therefore, the gear joint bracket 64 makes it difficult to retract the transport portion side drive joint gear 66 from the movement path of the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72.

On the other hand, in the drive transmission unit 56, the joint fulcrum 64A and the contact point A are spaced apart from each other in the vertical direction (attachment / detachment direction) to some extent. Therefore, when the gear joint bracket 64 rotates, the transport unit side is driven. The joint gear 66 is moved substantially along the front-rear direction. Therefore, when the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72 comes into contact with the gear joint bracket 64 from the front, the gear joint bracket 64 rotates to move the transport unit side drive joint gear 66 rearward, thereby moving the fake ticket storage in the vertical direction. It can be retracted from the movement path of the side drive joint gear 72.

Further, the drive transmission unit 56 is arranged at the contact point A located on the mounting direction side of the front end portion of the transport unit side drive joint gear 66 by arranging the center of the gear shaft 72A on the mounting direction side of the gear shaft 66A. The fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72 is engaged with the transport unit side drive joint gear 66. Therefore, the drive transmission unit 56 causes the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72 of the fake ticket storage 18 in the mounted state to enter the lower side of the transport unit side drive joint gear 66 of the upper transport unit 22 so as to be in the mounted state. It is possible to prevent the counterfeit ticket storage 18 from easily moving from the upper transport unit 22 in the detaching direction.

[1-7. Effect, etc.]
In the above configuration, the bill deposit / withdrawal machine 10 brings the transport portion side drive joint gear 66 into contact with the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72 on the side in the detachment direction from the center of the gear shaft 72A, and the direction of the transmission torque T contacts. By rotating the transport unit side drive joint gear 66 in the downward direction at the point A, a vertical downward transmission force vertical component force Fy is applied to the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72, and the fake ticket storage 18 Was pressed against the transport unit 20. As a result, the bill deposit / withdrawal machine 10 can prevent the counterfeit ticket storage 18 from rising from the transport unit 20.

Here, in the conventional drive transmission unit 156 (FIGS. 8 and 9), the counterfeit ticket storage 118 is moved in the mounting direction and the detaching direction by arranging the gear 174 on the upper side of the transport unit side drive joint gear 166. At that time, the gear joint bracket 164 and the transport unit side drive joint gear 166 were prevented from interfering with the movement path of the fake ticket storage 118. Therefore, the drive transmission unit 156 presses the transport unit side drive joint gear 166 against the gear 174 by rotating the gear joint bracket 164 in the pressing direction counterclockwise in FIG. 8, and transports the gear joint bracket 164 to the gear 174 in the mounted state. The engagement with the part-side drive joint gear 166 was maintained. Therefore, in the drive transmission unit 156, the reset spring moment MS, which is the moment due to the reset force of the reset spring 68, acts on the gear 174, that is, the counterfeit ticket store 18.

On the other hand, in the drive transmission unit 56 according to the present embodiment, the transport unit side drive joint gear 66 is brought into contact with the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72 on the side away from the center of the gear shaft 72A, and the fake ticket storage side. By biting the transport unit side drive joint gear 66 forward toward the drive joint gear 72, the direction of the reset spring moment MS is made to act in the direction of pushing the counterfeit ticket storage 18 in the mounting direction.

Further, in the conventional drive transmission unit 156 (FIG. 9), the direction of the transmission torque T and the direction of the reset spring moment MS are substantially the same at the contact point A. Therefore, in the drive transmission unit 156, the directions of the gear moment MG and the reset spring moment MS are opposite to each other. Therefore, in the drive transmission unit 156, the force that presses the transport unit side drive joint gear 166 against the gear 174 to the extent that the fake ticket storage 118 is not lifted while maintaining the meshing between the gear 174 and the transport unit side drive joint gear 166 is false. It was difficult to design the gear moment MG and the reset spring moment MS to balance the forces including the weight of the ticket storage 118.

On the other hand, the drive transmission unit 56 arranges the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72 corresponding to the transfer unit side drive joint gear 166 in the drive transmission unit 156 not in the upper transfer unit 22 but in the fake ticket storage 18, and makes a contact point. In A, the direction of the transmission torque T and the direction of the reset spring moment MS are not substantially the same, but are substantially opposite. Therefore, the drive transmission unit 56 can make the directions of the gear moment MG and the reset spring moment MS in the same direction. Therefore, the drive transmission unit 56 does not need to consider balancing the forces of the gear moment MG and the reset spring moment MS, including the weight of the counterfeit ticket store 18.

Here, it is conceivable to make the conventional fake ticket storage 118 heavier and increase its own weight to make it difficult for the fake ticket storage 118 in the mounted state to be lifted from the transport unit 120. However, in such a case, the weight of the fake ticket storage 118 increases, which goes against the idea of reducing the weight of the fake ticket storage 118.

On the other hand, the banknote deposit / withdrawal machine 10 does not increase the weight of the counterfeit ticket storage 18, but by devising the arrangement, rotation direction, and urging direction of various gears in the drive transmission unit 56, the counterfeit to the upper transport unit 22. The ticket storage 18 is prevented from rising. Therefore, the banknote deposit / withdrawal machine 10 can reduce the weight of the fake banknote storage 18, and even when the fake banknote storage 18 is reduced in weight and its own weight is reduced to make it easier to lift, the fake banknote storage 18 can be lifted easily. Can prevent lifting.

Further, here, by arranging a transport unit for transporting banknotes above the conventional counterfeit ticket store 118 and holding down the counterfeit ticket store 118 from above, the mounted counterfeit ticket store 118 is pressed against the transport unit 120 and comes off. Consider not to do so. However, in such a case, when the fake ticket storage 118 is attached to or detached from the transport unit 120, the work of moving the transport unit from above the fake ticket storage 118 to move it away is required each time, which increases labor and maintenance. It becomes difficult for a member to easily attach / detach the fake ticket storage 118, and the detachability is reduced.

On the other hand, the banknote deposit / withdrawal machine 10 is designed to prevent the counterfeit ticket storage 18 from floating with respect to the transport unit 20 without arranging the transport unit above the counterfeit ticket storage 18. Therefore, the banknote deposit / withdrawal machine 10 can prevent the maintenance staff from complicating the work of attaching / detaching the counterfeit ticket storage 18.

Further, it is also considered here that by adding a lock mechanism to the conventional fake ticket storage 118, the fake ticket storage 118 in the mounted state is fixed to the transport unit 120 so as not to come off. However, in such a case, when the fake ticket storage 118 is attached to or detached from the transport unit 120, the work of locking or unlocking the lock mechanism is required each time, which increases the time and effort, and the maintenance staff has to use the fake ticket storage 118. It becomes difficult to put on and take off easily, and the put on and take off is lowered. Further, in such a case, the configuration becomes complicated and the cost increases as much as the locking mechanism is added.

On the other hand, the banknote deposit / withdrawal machine 10 prevents the counterfeit ticket storage 18 from floating with respect to the transport unit 20 without adding a lock mechanism to the counterfeit ticket storage 18. Therefore, the banknote deposit / withdrawal machine 10 can prevent the maintenance staff from complicating the attachment / detachment work of the counterfeit ticket storage 18, prevent the configuration from becoming complicated, and prevent the cost from increasing.

Further, the conventional drive transmission unit 156 is provided with a gear 174 that rotates in the accumulation direction together with the accumulation roller on the counterfeit ticket storage 118 side, and a gear 162, a gear 92, and a transfer unit side drive joint gear 166 on the transfer unit 120 side. , The transport unit side drive joint gear 166 was meshed with the gear 174 from below. Therefore, in the drive transmission unit 156, in order to rotate the gear 174 in the integration direction (clockwise), it is necessary to rotate the transport unit side drive joint gear 166 in the direction opposite to the gear 174 (counterclockwise). An upward force is applied to the gear 174 from the transport unit side drive joint gear 166.

On the other hand, the drive transmission unit 56 is provided with a fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72 in addition to a gear 74 that rotates in the accumulation direction together with the accumulation roller shaft 39 on the fake ticket storage 18 side, and a gear on the transport unit 20 side. 62 and the transport unit side drive joint gear 66 are provided so that the transport unit side drive joint gear 66 meshes with the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72 from the rear. Therefore, in the drive transmission unit 56, in order to rotate the gear 74 in the integration direction (clockwise), it is necessary to rotate the counterfeit ticket storage side drive joint gear 72 in the direction opposite to the gear 74 (counterclockwise). .. Therefore, in the drive transmission unit 56, in order to rotate the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72 counterclockwise, the transport unit side drive joint gear 66 is rotated clockwise, so that the transport unit side drive joint A downward force is applied from the gear 66 to the counterclockwise drive joint gear 72. As a result, the drive transmission unit 56 can apply a force to push the counterfeit ticket storage 18 from the transport unit side drive joint gear 66 to the counterfeit ticket storage side drive joint gear 72 in the mounting direction, and prevent the counterfeit ticket storage 18 from lifting from the transport unit 20. it can.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the conventional counterfeit ticket storage 118 has a cutout portion in the counterfeit ticket storage housing 119 that is cut out on the mounting direction side with respect to the gear 174 fixed coaxially with the integrated roller shaft 139 of the integrated roller. 90 is formed. As a result, the drive transmission unit 156 moves the counterfeit ticket storage 118 from the upper side of the gear joint bracket 164 in the mounting direction while passing the notch 90 through the gear joint bracket 164, thereby gearing the counterfeit ticket storage housing 119. While preventing the joint bracket 164 from physically interfering with each other, the gear 74 can be brought into contact with the upper side of the transport portion side drive joint gear 166 to be in the mounted state. However, in such a case, since the lower side (notch 90 side) of the gear 174 is exposed to the outside from the false ticket storage housing 119, the gear 174 is placed on the floor or the like when the false ticket storage 118 falls. It was easy to collide and break.

On the other hand, in the bill deposit / withdrawing machine 10, in the mounted state, the gear joint bracket 64 of the upper transport unit 22 and the transport unit side drive joint gear 66 are mounted on the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72 of the fake ticket storage 18. Instead, it was arranged on the rear side so that the fake ticket storage side drive joint gear 72 meshed with the transport unit side drive joint gear 66. Therefore, the banknote deposit / withdrawal machine 10 does not need to form the notch 90 (FIG. 10) in the counterfeit ticket storage housing 19 on the side in the mounting direction with respect to the gear 74. Therefore, the bill deposit / withdrawal machine 10 positions the gear 74 on the left side of the right side surface of the counterfeit ticket storage housing 19, that is, at least on the mounting direction side of the width direction range of the gear 74 with respect to the gear 74. The body 19 is arranged to prevent the upper and lower sides of the gear 74 from being exposed to the outside from the fake ticket storage housing 19, and when the fake ticket storage 18 falls, the gear 74 collides with the floor or the like. It is possible to prevent the gear 74 from being damaged and to prevent the gear 74 from being damaged.

According to the above configuration, the automatic teller machine 1 includes a deposit / withdrawal unit 12 for exchanging and receiving banknotes with and from a customer, a fake ticket store 18 for internally storing banknotes taken in from the deposit / withdrawal unit 12, and a fake ticket. The storehouse 18 has a transport path 31 as a transport unit for transporting banknotes, and is provided with a transport unit 20 on which the counterfeit ticket storehouse 18 can be attached and detached. The counterfeit ticket storehouse 18 is used to store banknotes inside. The storage unit 60 has a storage side drive unit 60 that drives the integrated roller 38 as the insertion unit by transmitting a driving force from the transport unit 20, and the transport unit 20 is in a state in which the counterfeit banknote storage 18 is mounted on the transport unit 20. Then, when the banknote storage 18 is connected to the storage side drive unit 60 and the driving force is transmitted to the storage side drive unit 60 and the driving force is transmitted, the counterfeit banknote 18 is attached in the direction of being mounted on the transport unit 20. It is provided to have a transport unit side drive unit 58 that generates a force. As a result, the banknote deposit / withdrawal machine 10 has a driving force transmitted from the transport unit 20 to the counterfeit ticket store 18 in a mounted state in which the counterfeit ticket store 18 is mounted on the transport unit 20 even if the counterfeit ticket store 18 is lightweight. It is possible to prevent the counterfeit banknote storage 18 from floating with respect to the transport unit 20 due to the above, and to maintain the position of the counterfeit banknote storage 18 with respect to the transport unit 20.
