It is received through (11'p).

Semi-circular roller assemblies 30 are installed on the first, second, and third interlocking shafts 11, 12, and 13 to correspond to the lower rollers 20, respectively. The semi-circle roller assembly 30 is composed of first, second, and third semi-circle rollers 31, 32, and 33, respectively. The semi-circular rollers 31, 32, 33 are each configured so that only about half the circumference of the semicircular rollers can convey the bills C. As shown in FIG. It is installed on (11, 12, 13).

The surface of the semi-circular rollers 31, 32, 33 is provided with a friction material r for providing a friction force between the bills C. In addition, a friction member 39 is provided on the inner diameter surfaces of the semicircle rollers 31, 32, and 33 into which the interlocking shafts 11, 12, and 13 are inserted, and the friction member 39 is the semicircle roller 31. 2, 32 and 33 are prevented from rotating downward by their own weight when positioned on the linkage shafts 11, 12 and 13 as shown in FIG. That is, as in the case of the lower roller 20, the semi-circular rollers (31, 32, 33) is not directly rotated by the linking shaft (11, 12, 13).

In more detail, the semicircular rollers 31, 32, and 33 do not receive the rotational force of the interlocking shafts 11, 12, and 13 through the friction member 39. In other words, the semicircular rollers 31, 32, and 33 are not provided with the driving force through the friction member even when the interlocking shafts 11, 12, and 13 are rotated. The driving force of the interlocking shafts (11, 12, 13) is transmitted through the roller driving pin (12p).

The first interlocking pin 34 is inserted into the interlocking slot 37 of the second semicircular roller 32 to be described below to selectively rotate the second semicircular roller 32.

Therefore, when the roller driving pin 12p fails to push the first interlocking pin 34, the first semicircular roller 31 is not rotated even though the interlocking shafts 11, 12, and 13 are rotated. The first semi-circular roller 31 rotates only when the roller driving pin 12p stops and pushes the first interlocking pin 34.

The second semicircular roller 32 is formed with an interlocking slot 37 into which the first interlocking pin 34 is inserted and guided. The interlocking slot 37 is formed on one surface of the second semi-circular roller 32 (surface facing the first semi-circular roller 31) in a semicircular shape so as to have a predetermined curvature. The second interlocking pin 36 is inserted into the interlocking slot 37 of the third semicircular roller 33 and selectively rotates the third semicircular roller 33 on the opposite surface on which the interlocking slot 37 is formed. Is provided. The linkage shafts 11, 12, and 13 are positioned on the second semicircular roller 32 of the second interlocking pin 36 when compared to the positions on the first semicircular roller 31 of the first interlocking pin 34. It is formed in the opposite direction about the center.

The third semi-circular roller 33 has an interlocking slot 37 guided by inserting the second interlocking pin 36 of the second semi-circular roller 32 on the surface facing the second semi-circular roller 32. do. The interlocking slot 37 has the same shape as the interlocking slot 37 formed in the second semi-circular roller 32.

In addition, the second and third semi-circular rollers 32 and 33 are provided with restricting pins 38 in opposite directions, respectively. The regulating pin 38 is caught by the bracket 40 to be described below to serve to selectively regulate the rotation of the second and third semi-circular rollers (32, 33).

On the other hand, as shown in Figure 5 and 6, the drive link 40 is installed side by side between the support plates (10, 10 '). The drive link 40 is installed to pass between the second and third semi-circular rollers 32 and 33 of the respective semi-circular roller assemblies 30, and the rear end thereof is connected to the solenoid 45 which is the driving source. .

When the second and third semi-circular rollers (32, 33) is set to the initial position by regulating the movement of the regulation pin 38 of the second and third semi-circular rollers (32, 33) The restricting piece 42 is provided to prevent it from rotating in the counterclockwise direction. Such a restricting piece 42 is formed for each position corresponding to each of the semicircular roller assemblies 30.

Next, when the semicircular roller assembly 30 performs a preparation operation for transferring the bills C stacked on the stack 16, the bills C are not disturbed in the drive link 40. The configuration is provided.

That is, an interlocking bent portion 43 is formed at the rear end of the drive link 40, and a clamping bracket 50 having an interlocking pin 53 interlocked with the interlocking bent portion 43 is provided. The clamping bracket 50 is installed on the support plates 10 and 10 'to be rotatable about a hinge shaft 51.

And one side of the clamping bracket 50 is provided with a clamping plate 55 for pressing the upper surface of the bill (C). The clamping plate 55 is rotatably installed around the hinge pin 56 on the clamping bracket 51.

On the other hand, the lower side of the lower roller 20 is provided with a collecting box 60 for storing the bill (C) to be recovered. At this time, the collection box 60 is located in the lower portion of the path in which the bill (C) is transported by the lower roller 20 and the semi-circular roller assembly 30, the collection box 60 is recovered in the transport path (60) A recovery guide 65 for guiding the banknote C is formed toward the collection box 60 from above, which is a portion adjacent to the third interlocking shaft and the driving shafts 13 and 13 '. The recovery guide 65 transfers the banknote C by 180 ° to the recovery box 60.

In addition, a shutter 70 is installed in front of the support plates 10 and 10 'to open and close the banknote C transferred by the lower roller 20 and the semi-circular roller assembly 30 so that the customer can receive the bill C. . That is, the shutter 70 is closed until the release or transfer of the bill C. When the transfer is completed and the bill C is delivered to the customer, the shutter 70 is raised and opened in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 2. Such a shutter 60 is driven by a separate drive source (not shown).

In the drawing, reference numeral 80 denotes a detection switch for detecting rotation of the interlocking shaft 12.

Hereinafter, the operation of the banknote delivery device according to the present invention having the configuration as described above.

First, an initial state in which a space is formed between the lower roller 20 and the semi-circular roller assembly 30 so that a predetermined number of bills C can be delivered to the bill delivery device will be described.

The initial state is a state in which a space in which bills C can be stacked is formed between the lower roller 20 and the first, second, third semi-circular rollers 31, 32, and 33. This is the case where the part provided with the friction material r of the 1, 2, 3 semi-circular rollers 31, 32, 33 faces the lower roller 20 oppositely.

In such a state, the banknote C transmitted through the banknote inlet 18 may be stacked on the laminate 15 without interfering with the first, second, and third semicircular rollers 31, 32, and 33. .

The initial state as described above is performed by the following operation. That is, the drive shafts 11 ', 12', 13 'are rotated at an arbitrary position, and the linking shafts 11, 12, 13 also rotate together.

At this time, the interlocking shafts (11, 12, 13) to rotate the clockwise 720 ° relative to the drawing, and to add a further clockwise rotation until detected by the sensing switch (80).

In this state, when the interlocking shaft 12 is detected by the sensing switch 80, the regulating pin 38 is located above the interlocking shafts 11, 12, and 13 as shown in FIG. 6. .

At this time, the solenoid 45 is operated to pull the drive link 40 in the arrow A direction of FIG. Therefore, the restriction piece 42 of the drive link 40 is moved to the position indicated by the dotted line in FIG. In this case, even if the interlocking shafts 11, 12, 13 are rotated, the regulating pin 42 is caught by the regulating piece 42, so that the second and third semicircular rollers 32, 33 are rotated counterclockwise. It will not rotate.

In this state, the interlocking shafts 11, 12, and 13 rotate counterclockwise so that the first semicircular roller 31 rotates counterclockwise. At this time, the counterclockwise rotation of the interlocking shafts 11, 12, 13 is performed by the first interlocking pin 34 of the first semicircular roller 31 of the interlocking slot 37 of the second semicircular roller 32. When located at the left end, that is, until it is detected by the detection switch 80 is rotated. In this case, the initial state as shown in FIG. 2 is achieved.

Then, banknotes C are supplied one by one through the banknote inlet 18 and stacked on the laminate 15. In this way, when the desired number of bills (C) are stacked, the operation of the semi-circular roller assembly 30 is made while the bill is released.

At this time, the operation of the semi-circular roller assembly 30 for discharging the bill (C) will be described. As shown in FIG. 7, the first interlocking pin 34 is positioned at the left end of the interlocking slot 37 of the second semicircular roller 32, and the roller driving of the interlocking shafts 11, 12, 13 is performed. The pin 12p is in contact with the upper end of the first interlocking pin 34. The second interlocking pin 36 of the second semi-circular roller 32 is located at the right end of the interlocking slot 37 of the third semi-circular roller 33.

Next, the solenoid 45 is turned on to move the drive link 40 in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 5. Therefore, the interlocking pins 53 of the clamping bracket 51 are pushed by the interlocking bent portion 43 and rotated clockwise about the hinge axis 51.

Therefore, the clamping plate 55 is lowered with the rotation of the clamping bracket 50 to press the upper surface of the banknote (C). In this case, the banknote C is clamped and does not move.

In this state, when the linking shafts 11, 12, 13 rotate 540 ° clockwise, the state of FIG. 8 is obtained. That is, the roller drive pin 12p rotates 360 ° clockwise in the state of FIG. 7 to contact the bottom surface of the first interlocking pin 34 so that the first interlocking pin 34 is the second semi-circular roller. (32) move along the interlocking slot 37. This means that the first semi-circular roller 31 rotates clockwise. As such, when the first semicircular roller 31 is rotated by 180 ° by the roller driving pin 12p, the first semicircular roller 31 is in the state of FIG. 8, and the first semicircular roller 31 is the lower roller 20 and the laminated plate 15. It is crimped | bonded to the upper surface of the banknote C laminated | stacked on ().

At this time, the second semi-circular roller 32 is not rotated because the first interlocking pin 34 of the first semi-circular roller 31 is moved along the interlocking slot 37 of the second semi-circular roller 32. In the state of being stopped on the interlocking shafts (11, 12, 13). That is, the initial state is maintained as it is.

Next, the solenoid 45 is turned off and the transfer of the bill C starts. That is, when the linkage shafts 11, 12, 13 are rotated in the clockwise direction, the first semicircular roller 31 is rotated in the clockwise direction by the roller driving pin 12p. Here, when the first semi-circular roller 31 rotates in the clockwise direction, the first interlocking pin 34 of the first semi-circular roller 31 is connected to the link slot 37 of the second semi-circular roller 32. Since the state is caught on the right end, the second semi-circular roller 32 is also rotated together with the first semi-circular roller 31.

When the second semicircular roller 32 rotates in the clockwise direction, the second interlocking pin 36 is caught on the right end of the interlocking slot 37 of the third semicircular roller 33. The third semi-circular roller 33 is rotated clockwise together with the second semi-circular roller 32. Therefore, the banknote C is transported in the direction of the shutter 70 by the lower roller 20 and the first, second and third semi-circular rollers 31, 32 and 33. When the banknote C is transferred to a predetermined position, the shutter 70 is opened by a driving source so that the customer can withdraw the banknote C.

Here, when the customer withdraws the bill C, the bill C is sandwiched between the lower roller 20 and the semi-circular roller assembly 30. However, the first, second and third semi-circular rollers 31, 32, and 33 of the lower roller 20 and the semi-circular roller assembly 30, which press the banknote C up and down, respectively, have their driving shafts 11 ', 12', 13 ') and the interlocking shafts 11, 12, and 13 are rotatably installed.

Therefore, when the customer pulls the bill C, the lower roller 20 and the semi-circle rollers 31, 32, 33 are freely rotated so that the customer can easily withdraw the bill C. In this operation, excessive force is not transmitted to the lower rollers 20 and the semi-circular rollers 31, 32, and 33 so that their wear does not occur.

Meanwhile, a separate sensor detects the movement of the bill C. The bill C blocks the transmission of light between the light receiving part and the light emitting part of the sensor, and the bill C is not drawn out by the customer. When the light is transmitted, the banknote C is recognized as being drawn out by the customer.

When the withdrawal of the bill C is detected, the shutter 70 is closed. Then, the operation to return the semi-circular roller assembly 30 to the initial state as described above is performed.

On the other hand, when the banknote (C) is operated as described above and the upper end customer protruding to the outside through the shutter 70 does not withdraw the bill (C), the operation for recovering it.

That is, when the off state (no light reception) of the sensor lasts for a predetermined time, the interlocking shafts 11, 12, 13 are rotated counterclockwise.

That is, when the interlocking shafts 11, 12, 13 are rotated 540 ° counterclockwise in the state of FIG. 8, the roller driving pin 12p is rotated counterclockwise of the interlocking shafts 11, 12, 13; Rotate by the first contact pin 34 at the time of 360 ° rotation, and further rotates 180 °, it is in the state shown in FIG.

That is, the first interlocking pin 34 of the first semi-circular roller 31 is located at the left end of the interlocking slot 37 of the second semi-circular roller 32. Even at this time, the second semi-circular roller 32 and the third semi-circular roller 33 are in a state without being rotated.

In this state, when the linking shafts 11, 12, 13 are rotated 180 ° in the counterclockwise direction, the second semicircular roller 32 is the first interlocking pin 34 of the first semicircular roller 31. Are rotated counterclockwise together. Accordingly, the second semi-circular roller 32 is positioned below the linking shafts 11, 12, 13 together with the first semi-circular roller 31 as shown in FIG. 10. Here, in the state of FIG. 10, the first and second semicircular rollers 31 and 32 are lower than the interlocking shafts 11, 12 and 13, and the third semicircular roller 33 is upper than the interlocking shafts 11, 12 and 13. Will be located at.

In this state, when the drive shafts 11 ', 12', 13 'are driven so that the lower roller 20 rotates clockwise and the linkage shafts 11, 12, 13 rotate counterclockwise, the banknote ( C) is moved to the recovery box guide (65) side.

And the sensor that was detecting the bill (C) detects this to cause the shutter 70 to close. In this case, the rotation of the interlocking shafts 11, 12, 13 is performed until the banknote C reaches the collection box 60. In addition, when it is detected that the bill (C) has reached the collection box 60, the operation of the drive source is stopped once.

Then, the operation for making the semi-circular roller assembly 30 to an initial state is started.

On the other hand, if an error occurs during normal release, the normal release operation is stopped. In this case, both the sensor for detecting the release of the bill C and the sensor for detecting the number of bills C are turned off.

In this state, the drive source is operated until the interlock shafts 11, 12, 13 rotate counterclockwise until all the sensors are turned on, that is, the bill C is transferred to the collection box 60. In this case, the collection of the bills is completed. Again the operation to make the semi-circular roller assembly 30 to the initial state is performed.

Banknote delivery device according to the present invention operated with the configuration as described above can be used simply installed to be connected to the delivery module of the mechanism constituting the existing automatic banknote dispenser. Handing over and retrieving the banknote C can be performed easily.

Banknote delivery device according to the present invention as described in detail above is to stack the banknotes once released from the banknote storage and then transfer them in the longitudinal direction to deliver to the customer, when delivered in one direction is delivered to the customer and in the opposite direction If it is transported it is to be delivered to the recovery box.

In particular, when the customer withdraws the bill, the roller that transports the bill can rotate freely about its installed axis, and when the bill is pulled, the roller also rotates together so that the force is not applied to the roller when the bill is drawn out. Wear can be reduced.
