It can be displaced in a direction away from the rotary block 21 against the spring 28.

Thus, the transfer stacker 14 has a paper sheet storage portion including a bottom wall portion 14a and side wall portions 14b and 14c on both left and right sides of the bottom wall portion 14a. A concave portion 14d is formed in the center portion in the longitudinal direction, and the concave portion 14d and the lifting support plate 26 are connected by bolts 29. Thus, when the transfer stacker 14 is at the banknote storage station P1, the stacked banknotes can be stored in a state of being stacked one by one on the bottom wall portion 14a.

When the stacker 14 is rotated by 90 ° in a state where the stacked banknotes are accommodated in the stacker 14, the stacked banknotes are displaced to the upright state. At the time of this displacement, in order to prevent the bills from dropping or displacing, the outer side surfaces of the side wall portions 14b and 14c are located at positions near both ends thereof as shown in FIG. A pair of brackets 30, 30 are provided, and a support shaft 31 is mounted between the brackets 30, 30, and a bill pressing lever 32 is swingably mounted on the support shaft 31. The bill holding lever 32 has a torsion spring as an urging means.

The stored stacked banknotes can be pressed from above and held in a stable state.

Here, the transfer stacker 14 is connected to the bill storage station P1.
When the transfer stacker 14 is displaced in the direction approaching the primary stacker 2, the upper part of the transfer stacker 14 by the bill holding lever 32 is opened, and a stopper rod 35 are provided. Accordingly, when the transfer stacker 14 is raised, the bill holding lever 32 comes into contact with the stopper rod 35, and the bill holding lever 32 is displaced in a direction opposing the torsion spring 33 and rises. , Transfer stacker 14
The upper part can be opened. Also, in this state, after transferring the banknotes into the transfer stacker 14,
When the transfer stacker 14 is lowered, the bill holding lever 32
Can hold down the surface of this banknote from above.
Accordingly, when the transfer stacker 14 separates from the rotary block 21, the stopper rod 35 causes the bill holding lever 32 to oppose the torsion spring 33 in conjunction with this operation, and
It functions as an opening means for opening.

When the transfer of the banknotes into the transfer stacker 14 is performed as described above, the rotating block 21 rotates 90 °, and the banknotes are transferred to the banknote sorting station P2. This banknote alignment station

Short side aligning means 37 for aligning the short sides is provided. In order to align the banknotes, it is necessary to separate the banknote holding lever 32 from the banknotes, so that the banknote pressing lever 32 of the transfer stacker 14 in the banknote alignment station P2 is pushed to the portion where the banknote holding lever 32 is located. The rod 38 is provided so as to be opposed to the bill, and by moving the pushing rod 38 toward the bill holding lever 32, it can be separated from the bill.

The long side aligning means 36 is attached to the transfer stacker 14, and as is apparent from FIG.
And each of the striking rods 40 is attached to one end of a swing lever 41, respectively. The swinging lever 41 is formed of an L-shaped plate having a horizontal portion 41a and a vertical portion 41b, and the striking rod 40 is attached to a tip of the horizontal portion 41a of the swinging lever 41. The bent part is a stacker for transfer
It is pivotally attached to a pivot 42 provided at 14. Further, a roller 43 is mounted on the tip of the vertical portion 41b of each swing lever 41, and a spring 44 is stretched between the vertical portions 41b, 41b, so that the rollers 43, 43 come close to each other. Biased in the direction.

The banknote alignment station P2 has a long-side alignment unit.
A pushing plate 45 for driving the driving plate 36 is provided, and a tip portion of the pushing plate 45 is provided with a tapered cam portion 45a, and the cam portion 45a faces a position between the rollers 43, 43. The push plate 45 is reciprocated in the direction of the arrow in the figure to displace the rollers 43, 43 in the direction of approaching / separating from each other, whereby the swing lever 41 is moved up and down. In this direction. As a result, the slapping rod 40 is set up in the transfer stacker 14 and simultaneously hits the vicinity of both upper ends of the stored bills so that the long sides thereof are aligned.

On the other hand, the short side aligning means 37 has a swing hitting plate 50 provided so as to face the short side of the bill in the transfer stacker 14,
The swing hitting plate 50 is fixed to the rotating shaft 51. Then, by rotating the rotation shaft 51 by a predetermined angle, the short-side end portions are aligned by alternately hitting the vicinity of the upper end and the lower end of the bill in the transfer stacker 14. ing. Here, a regulating wall 60 is provided as shown in FIG. 7 in order to regulate the opposite short side portion when aligning the short side end portions. The regulating wall 60 is attached to a bill reciprocating and conveying means 61 provided for chucking and feeding the bills in the bill aligning station P2 to the banding mechanism unit 4, and returning the bills from the banding mechanism unit 4 to the inside of the transfer stacker 14. ing.

The bill reciprocating transport means 61 has a pair of chuck members 62, 62 for chucking bills having long and short sides aligned as described above from both sides, and the chuck members 62, 62 are operated by the solenoid 63. The opening and closing operation of the chuck can be performed by a link mechanism. Then, the above-described regulating wall 60 is attached to the housing of the solenoid 63.

Further, the bill reciprocating transport means 61 is attached to the chuck member.
A solenoid 63 is mounted on a reciprocating base 64 to reciprocate between the transfer stacker 14 located at the banknote alignment station P2 and the band sealing mechanism 4 while the banknotes are chucked by 62. A movable rack 65 is fixedly provided on the reciprocating base 64. A pinion 66 is engaged with the movable rack 65, and the pinion 66 is driven to rotate by a motor 67.

Further, the band sealing mechanism 4 is provided with a band sealing ring 70, a fixed clamp member 71, and a movable clamp member 72 which can be displaced in a direction approaching and away from the fixed clamp member 71. At the lower part of 72, a bill dividing member that divides a bill and inserts a banding tape therebetween.
Is attached, but since the configuration of the band sealing mechanism 4 is well known, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

This embodiment is configured as described above, and its operation will be described next.

First, among the four transfer stackers 14 constituting the banknote transfer device 3, the transfer stacker 14 located at the banknote storage station P1 is located immediately below the primary stacker 2 as shown by a virtual line in FIG. And at a position close to the primary stacker 2. As a result, the bill holding lever 32 rotates upward, and the upper part of the transfer stacker 14 is opened.

In this state, the bills B are conveyed along the conveyor 1 and pass through the counting section 7 to count the bills, and to determine the front and back sides. Then, based on the result of the front / back discrimination, the front / back aligning unit 8 adjusts the front and back to be aligned and sequentially introduces them into the primary stacker 2. Here, the storage of the bills B in the primary stacker 2 is performed in a stacking manner, and therefore, the primary stacker 2 is stored in either of the impellers 10a and 10b.
The paper money B introduced into the primary stacker 2 can be reliably accommodated in the primary stacker 2 by its own weight, and there is no need to provide a forced feeding means, so that the mechanism can be simplified and the paper money There is no inconvenience to damage B.

As described above, when a fixed number of bills, usually 100 bills B, are accumulated in the bill accumulating portion 13 of the primary stacker 2, the rotating shaft 11 rotates, the shutter wall 12 rotates 90 °, and The stacked banknotes in the banknote stacking unit 13 move into the transfer stacker 14. Then, by the rotation of the rotating shaft 11, a new banknote stacking unit 13 is formed by the shutter wall 12 on the front side in the rotation direction of the shutter wall 12 forming the banknote stacking unit 13, so that the banknote B is Even if it is continuously sent to the primary stacker 2 via the conveyor 1, the 101st banknote B can be reliably stored in the new banknote stacking unit 13.

When the stacked banknotes are transferred from the primary stacker 2 into the transfer stacker 14 in the banknote transfer device 3 in this way, the transfer stacker 14 is lowered, whereby the bill holding lever 32 is moved to the transfer stacker 14. The bill from above. By rotating the rotating shaft 20 by 90 degrees in this state, the transfer stacker 14
It will be shifted from P1 to the banknote alignment station P2. The bills in the transfer stacker 14 are
Since the bills are held down by 32, there is no inconvenience that some bills will fall off during this transition.

In this way, the transfer stacker 14 in which the bills are stored moves to the bill aligning station P2, and when the bills are in a state of being arranged vertically, first, the pushing rod 38 is operated, and the bill holding lever 32 is moved. Away from the bill. However, if the bill holding lever 32 is too far away from the bill, if the bill has a kinking tendency, it will bulge in the direction in which it is arranged, so that the bill holding lever 32 can regulate this bulging. In order to achieve this, it is held at a position that is substantially parallel to the bill surface.

As described above, when the banknote is shifted to the banknote alignment station P2, the motor 67 is operated to operate the banknote reciprocating transport unit 61.
Is moved toward the banknote alignment station P2 while the chuck member 62 is kept in the chuck released state, so that the regulating wall 60 contacts the banknote. Therefore, the bank rods are aligned by operating the swinging rod 40 of the long side aligning means 36 and the swing hitting plate 50 of the short side aligning means 37. At this time, since the pressing force does not act on the banknotes arranged vertically, these striking rods
The aligning operation by the rocking plate 40 and the swing hitting plate 50 is performed smoothly and quickly. Further, since the swing hitting plate 50 operates so as to alternately hit a position near the upper end and a position near the lower end of the bill, it is possible to quickly and surely align the short sides of the bill.

When the banknotes are aligned as described above, the chuck member 62 of the banknote reciprocating transport means 61 operates to chuck the banknotes. Thereafter, the motor 67 is operated to draw the bill into the banding ring 70 in the banding mechanism 4, the bill is split by the bill splitting member 73, a banding tape is inserted, and the movable clamp member 72 is further fixedly clamped. By moving to the member 71 side, the bill is sandwiched between the clamp members 71 and 72, and the band seal ring 70 is rotated to bind and bind the bill. Then, the banknote bundle for which the band sealing and binding has been completed is operated again by operating the banknote reciprocating transport means 61, so that the transfer stacker 14 located at the banknote alignment station P2 again.
The push rod 38 is separated from the bill holding lever 32, and the bill holding lever 32 is displaced by the action of the torsion spring 33 so as to hold the bundle of bound bills.

Thus, as described above, after the bill is transferred from the primary stacker 2 to the transfer stacker 14 of the bill transfer device 3, the accommodation of the next bill is immediately started in the primary stacker 2. Is carried out until the bound banknotes are returned to the transfer stacker 14 located at the banknote alignment station P2. Then, when the required number of banknotes has been accumulated in the primary stacker 2, the rotating shaft 11 rotates and the accumulated banknotes are transferred into the next transfer stacker 14. After that, the rotating shaft 20 rotates 90 °, the next transfer stacker 14 moves from the banknote storage station P1 to the banknote alignment station P2, and also stores the banknote bundle that has already been band-sealed and bound. The stacker 14 is sent to the discharge station P3. Thus, in the discharge station P3, the transfer stacker 14 is displaced in a direction away from the rotary block 21, that is, downward, and as a result, the pressing of the bill bundle by the bill pressing lever 32 is released. Since the bill holding lever 32 is displaced to a position on the extension of the side walls 14b and 14c of the transfer stacker 14, the bundle of bills subjected to the binding processing is discharged to the discharge conveyor 6.

Then, the band-bonded banknotes are transported to a desired position by the discharge conveyor 6, and can be stored in a safe or the like. Here, the transfer stacker 14 can be displaced to a position close to the discharge conveyor 6 when the band-consolidated bundled banknotes are placed on the discharge conveyor 6. Since it is accurately placed at a fixed position, it is not necessary to adjust the position of the band-bonded banknote when storing it in a safe or the like.

After the discharge of the band-bonded banknotes in this way,
The transfer stacker 14 returns to the bill storage station P1 via the idle station P4. Therefore, by repeating the above-described operation, a series of processing operations of banding and discharging the banknotes stored in the primary stacker 2 for each predetermined number can be continuously performed.

In the above-described embodiment, as the processing work stations, the bill storage station P1, the bill alignment station P2, the discharge station P3, and the idle station P
4 is provided, but it is only necessary to perform the work of processing the banknotes accumulated in the transfer stacker during the intermittent rotation of the transfer stacker by 90 °. Processing work mechanism can be provided.
For example, next to the above-described banknote alignment station, a stamping station for stamping the band seal portion is provided, and the fourth station is set as a discharge station, or the banknotes are fed from the banknote storage station to the discharge station via the number counting station. It may be performed.
It is needless to say that paper sheets to be handled are not limited to banknotes, and can be used as a mechanism for performing continuous processing on, for example, postcards, securities, and other paper sheets.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, in order to perform a predetermined processing operation by shifting the sheets received from the primary stacker in a stacked state to an upright state. Below this primary stacker, four sheet transfer stackers are provided at 90 ° angular positions on a rotating block that rotates intermittently by 90 ° in one direction, and the sheet transfer stacker is placed below the primary stacker. In order to receive a predetermined number of sheets from the primary stacker when placed at the position, each sheet transfer stacker can be displaced in a direction approaching / separating from the rotating block, and a sheet transfer To prevent the sheets in the stacker from falling off, keep the sheets stable, especially when the stacker for sheet transfer is rotated 90 ° and the sheets are displaced from a stacked state to a standing state. With a biasing means to hold A sheet holding lever that holds the sheet in the sheet storage unit is provided, and when receiving the sheet from the primary stacker, the sheet transfer stacker is close to the primary stacker to open the sheet holding lever. In conjunction with the operation of displacing in the direction of movement, the opening means that pushes the sheet holding lever against the urging means is provided, and the stacking sheets falling by their own weight from the primary stacker are transferred to the sheet transfer stacker. Since the paper is accommodated, a predetermined number of paper sheets are discharged from the primary stacker with an extremely simple and compact configuration, and are reliably stacked on the paper sheet transfer stacker. A smooth and reliable transition from one processing work station to the next processing work station under optimal conditions can be achieved successively and continuously.
