[0032]

 [Resolving jamming]
 Figure 6, the bill accommodating device 5 embodiment, is a flowchart for explaining an operation to eliminate the jamming generated during feeding the paper money 2. 7, in the bill accommodating device 5 embodiment, is a flowchart for explaining an operation to eliminate the jamming generated during winding of the bill 2.

[0033]

 Control unit 8, as described above, it is determined whether jamming of the bill 2 is generated based on the detection result of the position sensor 35. Control unit 8, when a jam of a bill 2 is determined to have occurred, by rotating driving only one of the conveying roller 21 or the pulley 18 about the rotation shaft 14, starts resolving the jam. First, the bill 2 which is wound on the winding drum 12, the case where jam occurs when feeding from the bill accommodating device 5.

[0034]

 Control unit 8, when a jam of a bill 2 is determined to have occurred, as shown in FIG. 6, whether or not the detection state of the bill 2 by the position sensor 35 is continued, i.e., on the position sensor 35 determining whether a jam has occurred (step S1). Control unit 8, when the jam is judged to have occurred on the position sensor 35, by rotating the rotary shaft 14 in the direction B (see FIG. 3) by the roller driving mechanism 33, the feeding direction of the conveying roller 21 rotationally driven (step S2).

[0035]

 When a jam occurs during the feeding of the bill 2, avoiding banknote 2 fed out normally to the transport path 7a is returned to the bill accommodating device 5, it is preferable to convey the bills 2 in the transport path 7a. Therefore, when a jam on the position sensor 35 at the time of feeding the paper money 2, the jam That transfer portion 13 near occurred, as shown in step S2, once rotated in the unwinding direction a conveying roller 21.

[0036]

 Subsequently, the control unit 8 drives the winding direction of the tape 16 by a reel drive mechanism 31 and the drum drive mechanism 32 (Step S3). Thus, the control unit 8 rotates in the direction A (see FIG. 3) of the pulley 18 with the tape 16 about the rotation shaft 14. In this case, the pulley 18, the rotational direction of the conveying roller 21 in the step S2 is rotated in the reverse direction.

[0037]

 Further subsequently, the control unit 8 drives the feeding direction of the tape 16 by a reel drive mechanism 31 and the drum drive mechanism 32 (step S4). Thus, the control unit 8 rotates the pulley 18 about the rotation shaft 14 together with the tape 16 in the direction B (see FIG. 3). Thus, the pulley 18, the rotational direction of the pulley 18 in step S3 is rotated in the reverse direction.

[0038]

 Thus, when the jam on the position sensor 35 at the time of the bill 2 feeding is occurring, the control unit 8, as a first operation for eliminating the jamming of conveying rollers 21 in step S2 ~ step S4 in FIG. 6 and pulley 18 is driven to rotate in opposite directions alternately (tape 16), respectively. Control unit 8, by performing the first operation, by applying an external force different in the bill 2 that jammed at transfer portion 13 near, giving a change to the bill 2 that jammed, eliminating jams the attempt. After the first operation step S2 ~ step S4, the control unit 8 determines whether the jam has been resolved (Step S5).

[0039]

 On the other hand, in step S1 described above, the control unit 8, when the jam on the position sensor 35 is determined not to occur, driven in the winding direction of the tape 16 by a reel drive mechanism 31 and the drum drive mechanism 32 (step S6). Thus, the control unit 8 rotates in the direction A (see FIG. 3) of the pulley 18 with the tape 16 about the rotation shaft 14.

[0040]

 Thus no jam occurs on the position sensor 35, when a jam occurs in the periphery of the winding drum 12, it is preferable to eliminate the slack of the tape 16. Therefore, when a jam on the position sensor 35 at the time of feeding the paper money 2 has not occurred, that is, when the jam around the take-up drum 12 occurs, the control unit 8, once the direction winding the tape 16 to drive to.

[0041]

 Subsequently, the control unit 8, by the roller driving mechanism 33 rotates the rotary shaft 14 in the direction B (see FIG. 3), is rotated in the unwinding direction a conveying roller 21 (step S7). At this time, the conveying roller 21, the rotation direction of the pulley 18 in step S6 is rotated in the reverse direction.

[0042]

 Further subsequently, the control unit 8 drives the feeding direction of the tape 16 by a reel drive mechanism 31 and the drum drive mechanism 32 (step S8). Thus, the control unit 8 rotates the pulley 18 about the rotation shaft 14 together with the tape 16 in the direction B (see FIG. 3). Thus, the pulley 18, the rotational direction of the pulley 18 in step S6 is rotated in the reverse direction.

[0043]

 Thus, when the jam on the position sensor 35 at the time of the bill 2 feeding has not occurred, the control unit 8, as a first operation for eliminating the jamming, conveying in step S6 ~ step S8 in FIG roller 21 and pulley 18 is driven to rotate in opposite directions alternately (tape 16), respectively. Control unit 8, by performing the first operation, the addition of external force different in the bill 2 that jammed around the winding drum 12, reduce the resolution of the jam. After the first operation of step S6 ~ step S8, the control unit 8 determines whether the jam has been resolved (Step S5).

[0044]

 In step S5 described above, the control unit 8, when it is determined that a jam has been eliminated, and ends the resolving jam. On the other hand, the control unit 8, when it is determined that a jam has not been resolved on the basis of the detection result of the position sensor 35 is driven in the winding direction of the tape 16 by a reel drive mechanism 31 and the drum drive mechanism 32 (step S9) . Thus, the control unit 8 rotates in the direction A (see FIG. 3) of the pulley 18 with the tape 16 about the rotation shaft 14.

[0045]

 Subsequently, the control unit 8, by rotating the rotary shaft 14 in the direction A (see FIG. 3) by the roller driving mechanism 33, it is rotated in the winding direction of the conveying roller 21 (step S10). At this time, the conveying roller 21 is rotated in the same direction to the rotation direction of the pulley 18 in step S9.

[0046]

 Controller 8 thus is conveyed after the first operation, when the feed jam occurs during the bill 2 is not resolved, as a second operation for eliminating the jam, in step S9 and step S10 in FIG. 6 roller 21 and the pulley 18 is driven to rotate in the same direction (tape 16) alternately respectively. Control unit 8, by performing the second operation, by applying an external force different in the bill 2 that jammed, giving change to the bill 2, aim to eliminate the jamming. That is, feeding jam occurred during the bill 2 is, if not eliminated by the first operation, the control unit 8, as the second operation, aim to eliminate the jam by performing the operation on the take-up drum 12 winds the bill 2 .

[0047]

 Step S9 and after the second operation of the step S10, the control unit 8 shifts to step S2, and repeats the first operation. Thereafter, in step S5, the control unit 8, until it is determined that a jam has been eliminated, and repeats the first operation, a second operation alternately.

[0048]

 The first operation, was repeated a second operation a predetermined number of times, the control unit 8, if it is not determined that the jam has been eliminated, that is, when the jam is not eliminated, the control so as to terminate the resolving jam it may be carried out. Further, after the second operation, the control unit 8 determines whether the jam is eliminated, only if the jam is not eliminated, may be controlled to repeat the first operation.

[0049]

 Then, when accommodating the bill 2 to the bill accommodating device 5, it will be described when a jam occurs when the winding drum 12 winds the bill 2. Control unit 8, when a jam of a bill 2 is determined to have occurred, as shown in FIG. 7, whether the detection state of the bill 2 by the position sensor 35 is continued, i.e., on the position sensor 35 determining whether a jam has occurred (step S21).

[0050]

 Control unit 8, when the jam is judged to have occurred on the position sensor 35 is driven in the winding direction of the tape 16 by a reel drive mechanism 31 and the drum drive mechanism 32 (step S22). Thus, the control unit 8 rotates in the direction A (see FIG. 3) of the pulley 18 with the tape 16 about the rotation shaft 14. As a result, to eliminate the slack of the tape 16.

[0051]

 Subsequently, the control unit 8, by the roller driving mechanism 33 rotates the rotary shaft 14 in the direction B (see FIG. 3), is rotated in the unwinding direction a conveying roller 21 (step S23). At this time, the conveying roller 21, the rotation direction of the pulley 18 in step S22 is rotated in the reverse direction.

[0052]

 When winding jam when the paper money 2 occurs, likely to space to return the bill 2 to the transport path 7a to transfer portion 13 is left, the banknote 2 which jammed on the position sensor 35 it is preferably returned from the transfer portion 13 to the conveying path 7a side. Therefore, the control unit 8, as shown in step S23, once rotated in the unwinding direction a conveying roller 21.

[0053]

 Further subsequently, the control unit 8, by rotating the rotary shaft 14 in the direction A (see FIG. 3) by the roller driving mechanism 33, it is rotated in the winding direction of the conveying roller 21 (step S24). Thus, the control unit 8 winds the bill 2 that jammed the winding drum 12. Accordingly, the conveying roller 21, the rotational direction of the conveying roller 21 in step S23 is rotated in the reverse direction.

[0054]

 Thus, when the jam on the position sensor 35 at the time of winding of the bill 2 is generated, the control unit 8, as a first operation for eliminating the jam, transport rollers in step S22 ~ step S24 in FIG. 7 21 and the pulley 18 is driven to rotate in opposite directions alternately (tape 16), respectively. Control unit 8, by performing the first operation, by applying an external force different in the bill 2 that jammed at transfer portion 13 near, giving a change to the bill 2, aim to eliminate the jamming. After the first operation of step S22 ~ step S24, the control unit 8 determines whether the jam has been eliminated (step S25).

[0055]

 On the other hand, in step S21 described above, the control unit 8, when the jam is determined not to occur on the position sensor 35, a jam on the conveyance path 7a for conveying the banknote 2 into the transfer portion 13 of the bill accommodating device 5 There will be generated. Therefore, the bill accommodating device 5, without resolving the jam, the resolving of a jam occurring on the transport path 7a by the transport mechanism 7 performs.

[0056]

 In step S25 described above, the control unit 8, when it is determined that a jam has been eliminated, and ends the resolving jam. On the other hand, the control unit 8, when it is determined that a jam has not been resolved on the basis of the detection result of the position sensor 35, by rotating the rotary shaft 14 in the direction B (see FIG. 3) by the roller drive mechanism 33, is rotated in the unwinding direction a conveying roller 21 (step S27).

[0057]

Thus, by giving a change to the bill 2 jam condition, it is possible to eliminate the jam smoothly.

[0064]

 The control unit 8 included in the bill accommodating device 5 performs the first operation for rotationally driving alternately conveying roller 21 and the pulley 18 in opposite directions. Thus, it is possible that changes the bill 2 jam state effectively, it is possible to solve the jamming smoothly.

[0065]

 The control unit 8 included in the bill accommodating device 5, in the first operation, after driving rotating alternately conveying roller 21 and the pulley 18 in opposite directions, the further one of the transport roller 21 or pulleys 18, the direction of rotation rotationally driven thereby in the reverse direction is rotated in the reverse direction. Thus, it is possible that changes the bill 2 jam state effectively, it is possible to solve the jamming smoothly.

[0066]

 The control unit 8 included in the bill accommodating device 5, after the first operation, the case of continuing detection state of the bill 2 by the position sensor 35, the conveying roller 21 and the second driving rotary alternating pulley 18 to each other in the same direction perform the operation. Accordingly, even when a jam has not been resolved in the first operation, it is possible that changes the bill 2 jam state effectively, it is possible to solve the jamming smoothly.

[0067]

 Also, the bill accommodating device 5, the control unit 8, in the first operation, the control unit 8, the conveyance roller 21 is driven to rotate the winding drum 12 in a direction to feed the bill 2, the pulley 18, the winding drum It is rotated in the direction of winding the tape 16 to 12.
