Paper accumulation device

Abstract

To provide a sheet stacking device capable of stably storing subsequent banknotes even if the uppermost banknote of stacked banknotes is a folded banknote. A conveyor belt (24) is wound around rollers provided at both ends of the upper part of the paper storage, and banknote holding members for holding banknotes (20) are fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the conveyor belt (24) at predetermined intervals. (25). The banknote holding member ( 25 ) itself has a clamping force that bends the conveyor belt ( 24 ) inwardly, and the banknotes ( 20 ) are held by the clamping force. When the banknote holding member (25) passes the rollers on the receiving side, its free end (25c) separates from the conveyor belt (24) to receive the banknotes (20), and when passing between the rollers, it clamps near the front end of the banknotes (20) , when passing through the roller on the release side, its free end (25c) is separated from the conveyor belt (24) to release the banknotes (20) and make them fall onto the stacked banknotes for accumulation and storage.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a paper sheet accumulation device, and particularly relates to a paper sheet accumulation device that can stably stack when paper media such as banknotes conveyed one by one are piled up and accumulated in a bundle. Background technique [0002] For example, ATMs (Automatic Teller Machines), automatic transaction devices, etc. installed in branches of financial institutions have a paper accumulation device that stacks banknotes conveyed one by one and stores them in a stacked state. In the paper sheet stacking device, the banknotes are fed in a direction parallel to the surface of the banknotes stacked in the storage, and the front ends of the banknotes are introduced into the storage such that the tip of the banknotes slides in on the upper surface of the stacked banknotes. This accumulated banknotes. [0003] Generally, the banknotes transported to the storage have various folds during market circulation. For example, fold...

Problems solved by technology

When such curled banknotes with creases are on the top of the stacked banknotes, the front end of the transported banknotes hits the rear end of the curled banknotes, which will cause the banknotes to be irregular

In particular, in a sheet stacking device that introduces and stores banknotes conveyed in the longitudinal direction in the longitudinal direction, interference with the accumulated banknotes is likely to occur.
