The second power transmission pulley 520 may be configured such that only one rotational force of the roller unit 200 And the first stacked sheet belt drive shaft 410. One direction of the roller unit 200 is a rotating direction when the banknote is fed into the banknote stack space S. [

The second stack sheet belt driving shaft 420 may be spaced apart from the first stack sheet belt driving shaft 410 and the second stack sheet belt driving pulley 425 may be disposed on the second stack sheet belt driving shaft 420 Two can be combined.

In the present embodiment, two pulley 415 for driving the first stacked seat belt and two pulleys for driving the second stacked seat belt 425 are provided, but the spirit of the present invention is not limited thereto , Or three or more, respectively.

The stack sheet belt portion 430 is disposed between the first stack sheet belt drive shaft 410 and the second stack sheet belt drive shaft 420 and between the first stack sheet belt drive shaft 410 and the second stack sheet belt drive shaft 420 And may include a first stack sheet belt portion 430a and a second stack sheet belt portion 430b.

The first stack sheet belt portion 430a includes a first stack sheet belt driving pulley 415 coupled to the first stack sheet belt driving shaft 410 and a second stack sheet belt driving pulley 415 coupled to the second stack sheet belt driving shaft 420. [ At least one first protruding sheet 434 protruding from a part of the outer circumferential surface of the first body part 432 so as to be in contact with the banknote, a first body part 432 connecting between the belt-driving pulleys 425, .

Similarly, the second stack sheet belt portion 430b includes a first stack sheet belt driving pulley 415 coupled to the first stack sheet belt driving shaft 410 and a second stack sheet belt driving pulley 415 coupled to the second stack sheet belt driving shaft 420.

The first protruding sheet 434 may be limited to an area of an outer circumferential surface corresponding to a length equal to or less than half the total length of the first body portion 432 and the second protruding sheet 438 may be formed in a region And may protrude in a direction opposite to the protruding direction of the sheet 434.

The first stack sheet belt 430a and the second stack sheet belt 430b are rotated by the rotation of the first and second stack sheet belt driving shafts 410 and 420, The tip can be pushed alternately. The force received by the tip of the paper currency through the skew generating unit 400 is larger than the force provided through the roller unit 200 at the rear end of the paper currency, so that a biasing force is generated in the paper currency, and the paper currency can be skewed. The degree of skewing of the banknotes to be skewed may be different depending on the size of the banknotes. Accordingly, banknotes skewed differently from each other can be accumulated in the banknote stack space S.

The power transmission unit 500 includes a first power transmission pulley 510 provided on the first roller drive shaft 202 and a second power transmission pulley 520 provided on the first stack sheet belt drive shaft 410 And a belt 530 drivingly connecting between the first power transmission pulley 510 and the second power transmission pulley 520. In one example, the belt 530 may include at least one of a timing belt and a cable belt.

Hereinafter, the functions and effects of the multi-rolled paper currency storage device 10 will be described with reference to Figs. 6 and 7. Fig.

FIG. 6 is a plan view showing a state in which banknotes are skewed in one direction by the skew generating unit in the multi-rolled paper currency storage apparatus of FIG. 1, and FIG. 7 is a plan view of the multi- And FIG.

6 and 7, the paper currency B provided through a separate transport path (not shown) can pass through the roller unit 200 by the rotation of the roller unit 200. [ At this time, as the roller unit 200 rotates and the skew generating unit 400 that receives the driving force of the roller unit 200 through the power transmitting unit 500 also rotates, It can be skewed by the skew generating unit 400 before falling freely into the space S. At this time, the direction in which the banknote B is skewed can be determined by the stack sheet belt portion 430 where the leading end of the banknote B contacts. The banknote B can be skewed in one direction and the leading end of the banknote B can be skewed in the first stacked sheet belt portion 430a, The banknote B can be skewed in the direction opposite to the one direction.

In other words, the force exerted by the sheet rollers of the roller unit 200 against the rear end of the banknote B and the difference in the force of the stack sheet belt unit 430 of the skew generating unit 400 pushing the front end of the banknote B The banknote B can be skewed and the banknote B thus skewed can be accumulated while filling the empty space of the banknote stack space S. [ Therefore, it is possible to prevent the banknote B from falling into the front and back portions of the banknote stack space S.

On the other hand, in the conventional multi-rolled paper currency storage device, in order to accumulate multi-rolled paper currency in one paper currency stack space, the paper currency stack space is widely formed in the multi-currency currency notes with reference to a relatively large paper currency. However, in this case, in the process of accumulating the multi-currency bills in the banknote stack space, the banknotes to be accumulated thereafter may be caught at the rear end of the banknotes stacked in advance, so that the accumulation of banknotes in the banknote stack space There is a problem that it can not be achieved.

Accordingly, the multi-rolled paper currency storage apparatus 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the skew generating unit 400 to detect the paper currency B before the paper currency B falls into the paper currency stack space S, And stacks the banknotes B having the skewed state in the banknote stack space S.

As a result, even if the size of the banknote B accumulated in the banknote stack space S is different, the skew generating unit 400 skews the banknote B, The efficiency of collecting the banknotes B can be improved and the banknotes B can be prevented from being entangled with the banknotes that have been accumulated in advance when the banknotes B are collected .
