Further, an auxiliary roller shaft 1 is disposed diagonally above the roller shaft 11 mentioned above.
3 is mounted horizontally, and the feeding roller 3 is mounted on this auxiliary roller shaft 13.
An auxiliary feeding roller 14 that rotates in conjunction with this is fitted.

As is clear from FIG.
A driving pulley 15 is fitted to 1, and a driven pulley 16 is fitted to the auxiliary shaft 13, and a belt 17 is stretched between these pulleys 15 and 16.

By the way, 1) A flapper 20 is disposed at the branching part of the first conveyance path 19 that connects the above-mentioned feedout opening 9 and the bill payment outlet 18, and a flapper 20 is disposed between the above-mentioned branching part and the bill collection box 2.
A second transport path 22 for collecting the waiting banknotes 8 is formed.

FIG. 2 shows a control circuit of the feeding device, in which the CPU 30 controls the clutch 10, motor 1,
2 and timer 25, and RAM 26 stores necessary data such as the number of bills to be paid in response to customer transactions.

Here, the setting time of the above-mentioned timer 25 is preset to a length of time, such as about 10 minutes, to prevent the Samurai bill B from curling.

Also, the waiting banknote B based on the time-up output of the timer 25
The avoidance conveyance from the feeding section 6 is performed by the above-mentioned CPLJ 30.

The operation of the feeding device configured as described above will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

In the first step 31, the CP'U 30 determines whether or not it is a payment based on the presence or absence of an input signal from the payment operation input section 23, and determines that there is an input signal from the payment operation input section 23 and that it is a payment. When this happens, the process moves to the next second step 32.

In this second step 32, the CPU 30 rotates the motor 12, and in the next third step 33, the CPU 30 turns on the clutch 10.

When the clutch 10 described above is turned on, the rotational force of the heptad 12 is transmitted to the roller shaft 11 via the clutch 10.

Next, in a fourth step 34, the CPU 30 dispenses a predetermined number of bills A from the cartridge 1 in response to the customer's transaction.

That is, by controlling the above-mentioned feeding roller 3 and auxiliary feeding roller 14 to rotate in one direction opposite to that in FIG.
The bills Δ are sequentially dispensed one by one from a dispensing unit 6 formed by a dispensing roller 3 and a friction roller 4, and a predetermined number of bills to be paid is dispensed from a dispensing opening 9.

Next, in the fifth step 35, the CPU 30 turns off the clutch 10 and stops the rotation of the feeding roller 3, and then
In the next sixth step 36, the CPU 30 transports the predetermined number of banknotes fed out from the above-mentioned feeding opening 9 in the delivery direction on the first transport path 19 before the branch point.

Next, in a seventh step 37, the CPU 30 controls the flapper 2
It is determined whether the transported banknote preceding the 0 arrangement position is a payable banknote or a waiting banknote B.

In this case, since it is the bill to be paid A, the process moves to the next eighth step 38.

In this eighth step 38, the CPtJ 30 controls the above-mentioned flapper 20 to be held in the solid line state shown in FIG.
Pay the number of banknotes A according to the customer's transaction.

Next, in the ninth step 39, the CPLJ 30 clears the timer 25, and in the next tenth step 40, the CP tJ 3
0 controls the timer 25 to start counting, and then returns to the first step 31 described above.

In this first step 31, the CPU 30 determines whether it is in the payment state or the timer monitoring state.

The process moves on to the next eleventh step 41.

In this eleventh step 41, the CP tJ 30 determines whether or not the set time of the timer 25, for example 10 minutes, has elapsed, and if the time is not up, the process proceeds to the first step 3 described above.
It returns to 1, but when time-up occurs, it returns to the next 12th
The process moves to step 42.

In this twelfth step 42, the CPU 30 controls the rotation of the motor 12, and in the next thirteenth step 43, the CPU 30 turns on the clutch 10.

When the clutch 10 described above is turned on, the rotational force of the motor 12 is transmitted to the roller shaft 11 via the clutch 10, as described above.

Next, at the 14th stage 44, the CPIJ 30 is moved to the feeding section 6.
In order to avoid and convey the waiting banknote B caught between the feeding roller 3 and the friction roller 4 from the above-mentioned feeding section 6, one sheet of the waiting banknote B is fed out.

When the process in the fourteenth step 44 described above is completed, the process moves to the fifth step 35 described above, and in this fifth step 35, the CPU 30 turns off the clutch 10 in the same manner as described above.
Then, the rotation of the delivery roller 3 is stopped, and in the next sixth step 36, the CPU 30 transports the standby bill B, which has been delivered one sheet, in the delivery direction on the first transport path 19 before the branch point.

Next, in a seventh step 37, the CPU 30 determines whether the transported banknote in front of the flapper 20 placement position is a payable banknote A or a waiting banknote B.

In this case, since the banknote is on standby B, the process moves to the next fifteenth step 45.

In this fifteenth step 45, the CPU 30 switches and controls the above-mentioned flapper 20 to the virtual line state shown in FIG. from the point to the second conveyance path 22 (
The above-mentioned waiting banknotes B are collected into the collection box 21 via this 21fR feeding path 22.

Next, in a ninth step 39, the CPU 30 starts the timer 25.
, and in the next 10th step 40, CPLI30
controls the timer 25 to start at 4 o'clock in preparation for the next customer's transaction operation.

Note that if there is a next transaction operation by a customer within the set time of the timer 25, for example 10 minutes, the CPU 30 will not carry out the avoidance conveyance of the waiting banknote B, but since this transaction operation is within the set time. Even if there is a waiting bill I3 in the feeding section 6, no inconvenience will occur because the waiting bill B will not have a curved V.

In other words, when the preset time set by the timer 25 described above has elapsed, the CPU 3'O of the upper book is activated, and the waiting banknote B is caught in the feeding section 6 between the feeding roller 3 and the friction roller 4. can be controlled to be conveyed from this feeding unit 6 to a position where the banknotes are covered, so if the set time in (a) above is set in advance to a time such as 10 minutes that will not cause the banknotes to curl, the banknotes will not be curved. It has the effect of being able to prevent banknotes from curling, jamming, and remaining paper money, resulting in better payment processing, for example. Therefore, it is possible to improve the reliability of the device.

Regarding the correspondence between the structure of this invention and the above-mentioned embodiments, the paper sheet cartridge of this invention corresponds to the banknote cartridge 1 of the embodiment, and similarly, the paper sheet corresponds to banknote A, and the paper sheet cartridge corresponds to the banknote A. The paper sheet corresponds to the waiting banknote B, the timing means corresponds to the timer 25, and the control means corresponds to CI) U30.However, the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment. ,
