Hereinafter, the operation of the stacking module of the media dispenser according to the present invention having the configuration as described above will be described in detail.

At the request of the customer, the media is separated from the media box one by one and then passed through the feed module to be delivered through the delivery module 1. In the delivery module 1, the medium is guided by the transfer belt 50 and transferred to the stacking wheel 110. The media transferred to the stacking wheel 110 are stacked on the stacking module 3 as many times as desired by the customer.

The stacking of the media in the stacking module 3 as many times as desired by the customer will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12.

First, in order to stack a plurality of media on the stacking plate 140, the driving plate 138, the stacking plate 140, and the clamp assembly 160 should be in an initial position. Such a state is shown in Figs. 11A and 12A. That is, the driving plate 138 and the stacking plate 140 are moved in the direction of the separating plate 124 as much as possible. The clamping assembly 160 is in a position sensed by an intermediate one of the magnetic field sensors 164 '.

In addition, the clamp base 168 of the clamping assembly 160 is lowered vertically downward. This is a position where the sensing piece 183 is sensed by the clamp sensor 182 on the right side in FIG. 9.

In addition, the clamp arm 184 is in a direction parallel to the transfer tray 162. Thus, the clamp arm 184 and the clamp base 168 are perpendicular to each other.

In this state, the medium passing between the second and fifth medium guides 62 and 75 is inserted into the tangential blade 112 of the stacking wheel 110 one by one, and is driven by the drive motor 100. As the stacking wheel 110 rotates, the medium is rotated by the stacking wheel 110.

The medium that is inserted into the tangential blade 112 and rotates is separated from the stacking wheel 110 when it meets the separation plate 124. The medium separated from the stacking wheel 110 by the separating plate 124 is continuously pressed by the tangential blade 112 of the stacking wheel 110 by the push bar 147 to incline the inclination of the separating plate 124. Guided along.

Accordingly, the medium is supported and erected on the stacking plate 140 between the stacking wheel 110 and the push bar 147. In this way, a plurality of media continues to stand on the stacking plate 140 in sequence. At this time, the push bar 147 presses the medium standing on the stacking plate 140 in close contact with the tangential blade 112 of the stacking wheel 110. FIG. 11B shows a state in which the medium stands on the multiple stacking plate 140.

However, as the number of media erected between them increases, the push bar 147 is pushed backwards. That is, as the shuttle member 146 is pushed, the connecting shaft 148, the connecting link 150 and the link shaft 151 are pushed while overcoming the elastic force of the elastic member 154. Thus, the link shaft 151 is moved in accordance with the number of sheets of the medium in the long hole.

When the number of media requested by the customer is accumulated in the stacking plate 140, the transfer of the media through the delivery module 1 is stopped. Then, the clamp arm 184 is rotated. The clamp arm 184 is rotated by the driving force of the arm rotation motor 186. That is, the driving force of the arm rotating motor 186 is transmitted to the arm rotating shaft 185 through the motor gear 186 ', the connecting gear 187, the rotary shaft gear 185'. Since the arm rotation shaft 185 is integral with the clamp arm 184, the clamp arm 184 is rotated by the rotational force of the arm rotation motor 186. At this time, the pressing finger 192 is also rotated together.

The clamp arm 184 and the pressing finger 192 are rotated to bring the medium into close contact with the clamp base 168. In particular, the pressing finger 192 is pressed against the clamp base 168 by the elastic force regardless of the number of media. This state is shown in Fig. 11C.

Next, the shuttle member 146 is rotated. Rotation of the shuttle member 146 is made by the driving plate 138 is moved by the driving force of the drive motor 130. That is, the connection link 150 is made by pulling the connecting shaft 148 by the movement of the drive plate 138.

The driving force of the driving motor 130 is transmitted to the driving shaft 136 through the motor gear 132 and the first and second connecting gears 135 and 135. Power transmitted to the drive shaft 136 is transmitted to the rack 139 by the drive gear 137 provided on the drive shaft 136. Accordingly, the driving plate 138 having the rack 139 is moved on the stacking base 120. The driving plate 138 is moved until the first sensing piece 157a is detected by the clamp sensor 158. This state is shown in Figs. 11D and 12B.

As the shuttle member 146 is inclined toward the rear of the stacking base 120 as described above, the clamp assembly 160 moves to the right side with reference to the drawing and the clamp base 168 refers to the drawing. Rotate clockwise. This state is shown in FIGS. 11E-11G.

Next, the clamp assembly 160 is moved by driving the tray transfer motor 165. That is, the driving force of the tray transfer motor 165 is transmitted to the one rack interlocking gear 166 'through the motor gear 165' so that the transfer drive shaft 166 is rotated. The rack interlocking gears 166 ′ are engaged with the racks provided in the clamp guide 20 by the rotation of the transfer drive shaft 166 to produce the movement of the clamp assembly 160.

The movement of the clamp assembly 160 is performed until it is detected that the magnetic field sensor 164 'is located at the leftmost side of FIG. The media clamped by the clamp base 168 and the clamp arm 184 of the clamp assembly 160 at the position sensed by the magnetic field sensor 164 ′ are supported by the extension clamp 169 and sag downwards. Will not. In addition, the extension clamp 169 is caught by one side of the clamp guide 20 does not protrude to the outside of the clamp guide 20, only the medium protrudes. That is, the extension clamp 169 is retracted along the clamp base 168 by being caught by one side of the clamp guide 20 at the tip of the clamp guide 20. In other words, the clamp base 168 retreats along the guide shaft 170 while elastically deforming the elastic member 170 ′. This state is shown in Fig. 11I.

Then, after the customer receives the media, the clamp assembly 160 moves in the opposite direction. The extension clamp 169 protrudes to its original position by the movement of the clamp assembly 160. The clamp assembly 160 moves to an initial state by the driving force of the tray transfer motor 165. That is, the media can be accumulated at the request of the next customer. In other words, the state is as shown in Fig. 11A. At this time, the shuttle member 146 is moved to the initial state by the driving force of the drive motor 130.

On the other hand, if the customer does not receive the medium in the state of Figure 11i it must be recovered and sent back to the collection (4). This operation is performed in reverse order from the state of FIG. 11I to the state of FIG. 11D.

In the state of FIG. 11D, the driving plate 138 is moved in the direction of the driving motor 130 by driving the driving motor 130. The shuttle member 147 is no longer rotated and is moved together with the drive plate 138 while maintaining the angle. At this time, the interlocking piece 138m of the driving plate 138 and the interlocking piece 141 of the stacking plate 140 are engaged with each other, and the stacking plate 140 is moved by the driving plate 138.

The stacking plate 140 is guided and moved by the guide rod 142. In particular, the stacking plate 140 is moved while elastically deforming the restoration member 143. The driving plate 138 is moved until the third sensing piece 157c provided in the driving plate 138 is detected by the dump sensor 159. This state is shown in FIG. 12C.

On the other hand, the tip inclination portion 138 ′ of the driving plate 138 presses the locker 156. The locker 156 protrudes downward from the stacking base 120 and is hooked to a recess provided in an upper surface of the recovery box 4. In this way, the collection box 4 can never exit the automatic media dispenser when the medium is recovered. For example, even if the power supply is interrupted in the state of FIG. 12C, an outsider cannot remove the collection box 4 from the media dispenser, thereby preventing inadvertent theft.

When the stacking plate 140 is in the position of FIG. 12C, the recovery slot 126 is opened. Therefore, the medium clamped by the clamp base 168 and the clamp arm 184 may be recovered into the recovery container 4 through the recovery slot 126. For reference, the recovery box 4 is provided with an inlet for recovering the media recovered by the recovery belt 85 and an inlet for recovering the bundle of media in the clamp assembly 160 separately.

When the clamp arm 184 is lifted in the state of FIG. 12C, the medium clamped by the clamp base 168 and the clamp arm 184 falls and is recovered through the recovery slot 126 (4). Enter At this time, the stacking wheel 110 is rotated to allow the medium to enter the recovery box (4) without leaving.

When the recovery of the media is completed as described above, each component is moved to the initial state shown in FIG. 11A to stack the media on the stacking plate 140 at the request of the next customer. Here, the stacking plate 140 is the drive plate 138 is moved to the original position by the interlocking piece (138m) 141 is no longer walked, the restoring force of the restoring member 143 To the initial position.

The shuttle member 146 may be formed by the position of the stacking plate 140 and the driving plate 138 and the relationship between the connecting link 150, the connecting shaft 148, and the elastic member 154. The push bar 147 is installed to be inclined toward the stacking wheel 110.

First, in the present invention, the media supplied one by one in the media box can be collected from the stacking module by the number of sheets desired by the customer and transported at once. Therefore, when the medium is delivered to the customer, the medium can be delivered in a bundle at a time, thereby making it easier for the customer to receive the medium.

In the present invention, since the driving plate, the stacking plate and the shuttle member are driven by one driving motor in the stacking module for accumulating a plurality of media, the number of components is relatively simplified.

In addition, the present invention has the advantage that it is possible to control the drive motor provided in the stacking module with a relatively small number of sensors provided with a relatively large number of sensing pieces on the drive plate.

In the present invention, most of the configuration for stacking the media as desired by the customer is provided on the stacking base and modularized. Therefore, when only the stacking base is separated from the guide plate, the maintenance of the stacking module is enabled.
