[0001]    This application claims the benefit of priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201210447728.X titled “SHEET-TYPE MEDIUM STACKING DEVICE”, filed with the Chinese State Intellectual Property Office on Nov. 9, 2012, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. 
       TECHNICAL FIELD 
       [0002]    The present application relates to a technique for processing a sheet-type medium, and particularly to a device for end-to-end stacking sheet-type medium piece by piece. 
       BACKGROUND 
       [0003]    A device for identifying financial bills piece by piece is generally required to be installed in the machine for processing financial bills, and after being identified piece by piece, the bills which are conveyed piece by piece are stacked to facilitate withdrawing the bills. For example, in a conventional automatic teller machine, multiple sheets of stacked banknotes are sorted, conveyed and identified piece by piece, and then are stacked to be delivered out. At present, in a sheet-type medium stacking device, in which the medium is conveyed in a longitudinal direction, such as a banknote stacking device, a conveyor belt fits closely to an arc-shaped plate to convey a single sheet of banknote to a specific location to be stacked. For example, the first sheet of banknote is settled in the specific location, a front end of the second sheet of banknote is superposed on a tail end of the first sheet of banknote, and the first sheet of banknote and the second sheet of banknote are clamped by the conveyor belt and the arc-shaped plate to move forwards together, and the first sheet of banknote stops moving forward when its front end reaches a predetermined blocking member. The second sheet of banknote is driven by the conveyor belt to overcome the frictional force between the banknotes and continue to slide forward, and stops moving forward until it reaches the predetermined blocking member. The third sheet of banknote and subsequent banknotes go through the same process as the first and second sheets of banknotes, that is, the front end of a subsequent sheet of banknote is superposed on the tail end of a previous banknote and the banknotes are all conveyed to the predetermined blocking member, to be stacked. Eventually, the front ends of all the banknotes are aligned to the predetermined movable blocking plate, and a whole stack of banknotes are delivered to a predetermined position for an operator. 
         [0004]    However, in the above existing mechanism, starting from the second sheet of banknote, each sheet of banknote goes through the process of clinging to and rubbing against a previous sheet of banknote. In this process, if the sheet of banknote has a slit at an angle to the advancing direction, the subsequent banknote is apt to be jammed at the slit, or if the sheet of banknote has a severe fold, the sheet of banknote is apt to be folded and arched at the fold, which may result in a banknote jam at the fold. 
       SUMMARY 
       [0005]    An object of the present application is to provide a sheet-type medium stacking device for effectively stacking sheet-type medium having a slit or being soft and old. 
         [0006]    The sheet-type medium stacking device includes:
       a piece-by-piece sheet-type medium conveying mechanism configured to convey a sheet-type medium piece by piece;   an upper conveyor belt configured to provide a driving force to the sheet-type medium and arranged around a driving transmission shaft and a driven transmission shaft which are arranged in a conveying direction of the sheet-type medium;   an arc-shaped stacking plate configured to support the sheet-type medium, wherein an arc-shaped surface, fitting closely to the upper conveyor belt, of the arc-shaped stacking plate defines a conveying passage for the sheet-type medium, a length of the conveying passage is at least greater than a length of one sheet of the sheet-type medium in the conveying direction, and one end of the conveying passage abuts the piece-by-piece sheet-type medium conveying mechanism and is slightly lower than a delivering outlet of the conveying mechanism, and another end of the conveying passage forms a discharging outlet for a whole stack of sheet-type medium;   a movable blocking mechanism arranged on a section of the conveying passage close to the discharging outlet and configured to selectively block the sheet-type medium;   a sensor device arranged at a tail end of the delivering outlet of the piece-by-piece sheet-type medium conveying mechanism and configured to detect the arrival and passing of a sheet of the sheet-type medium; and   a control unit configured to control the upper conveyor belt to move or stop moving according to information feedback from the sensor device;   wherein, at least one pair of convex ribs are formed on a section, close to the conveying mechanism, of the arc-shaped surface of the arc-shaped stacking plate at two sides of the upper conveyor belt, and a distance between the pair of convex ribs is smaller than the minimum dimension of the sheet-type medium in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction.       
 
         [0014]    Preferably, the arc-shaped stacking device includes three sections, a section near the piece-by-piece sheet-type medium conveying mechanism forms a rear arc-shaped plate, a section near the discharging outlet forms a front arc-shaped plate, and a middle section forms a reversing device. 
         [0015]    Furthermore, a recycling conveyor belt assembly and a discharging conveyor belt assembly are arranged below the reversing device and the front arc-shaped plate, wherein at least a section of the recycling conveyor belt assembly fits with a section of the discharging conveyor belt assembly to form a recycling conveying passage for the sheet-type medium. 
         [0016]    Preferably, a floating pinch roller is provided on a side, away from the arc-shaped plate, of the upper conveyor belt at a position corresponding to the convex ribs, and is configured to increase a conveying force of the upper conveyor belt to the sheet-type medium. 
         [0017]    Compared with the conventional technology, the valuable document identification device has the following advantages. 
         [0018]    By providing convex ribs on the arc-shaped stacking plate at the position corresponding to two sides of the upper conveyor belt, the sheet-type medium being clamped and conveyed forms a V shape, which greatly increases the rigidity of the sheet-type medium, and effectively solves the problems of blockage caused by the slit at the tail of the sheet-type medium and blockage caused by folding and arching of soft and old medium.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0036]    For further illustrating the sheet-type medium stacking device according to the present application and clearly describing the structure and operation process of the device, a deposit machine used in a financial self-service equipment is described as an example. 
         [0037]    Reference is made to  FIG. 1 , which is a schematic view showing the structure of a sheet-type medium stacking device (a deposit machine). The deposit machine has a depositing port  101 , a sheet separating device  1 , a sheet tilt correction device  2 , a sheet identifying device  3 , a temporary storage device  4 , a stacking and recycling device  5  and a storage box  6 . The sheet separating device  1  separates banknotes at the depositing port  101  piece by piece and delivers the separated banknotes into the deposit machine. The sheet tilt correction device  2  is configured to adjust the banknotes inclined with respect to an advancing direction and align the banknotes with a datum plane in parallel with the advancing direction. The sheet identifying device  3  is configured to identify the authenticity, the face value, the obverse and reverse, and the condition of banknotes and checks and to detect whether the sheets are conveyed abnormally, such as being titled, overlapped or continuous, to determine whether the sheets can be stored. The temporary storage device  4  is configured to temporarily store banknotes or checks which are identifiable and are determined as being conveyed normally. The stacking and recycling device  5  is configured to stack banknotes or checks, to deliver out returned banknotes or checks, and to recycle the banknotes or checks that customers forget to withdraw. Conveying mechanisms  102 ,  103 ,  104  and  105  for conveying sheet-type medium piece by piece are provided between the above devices to convey banknotes. 
         [0038]    Reference is made to  FIG. 2 . The stacking and recycling device  5  includes an upper conveyor belt  153  for providing a driving force to the sheet-type medium, an arc-shaped stacking plate for supporting the sheet-type medium, a movable blocking mechanism  20  for selectively blocking the sheet-type medium, a sensor device  17  and a control unit. The upper conveyor belt  153  is arranged around a driving transmission shaft  151  and a driven transmission shaft  156  which are arranged in a conveying direction of the sheet-type medium. The arc-shaped stacking plate includes three sections; the section, near the conveying mechanism for conveying sheet-type medium piece by piece, forms a rear arc-shaped plate  18 ; the section near a medium discharging outlet forms a front arc-shaped plate  19 ; and the middle section forms a reversing device  25 . The upper conveyor fits closely to the arc-shaped surface of the arc-shaped stacking plate, thereby forming a conveying passage for the sheet-type medium. The length of the conveying passage is at least greater than that the length of one sheet of the sheet-type medium in the conveying direction. One end of the conveying passage abuts the conveying mechanism  105  for conveying sheet-type medium piece by piece and is slightly lower than a delivering outlet of the conveying mechanism. Another end of the conveying passage forms the discharging outlet for a whole stack of sheet-type mediums. The movable blocking mechanism  20  is arranged on a section of the conveying passage close to the discharging outlet. The sensor device  17  is arranged at the tail end of the delivering outlet of the conveying mechanism for conveying sheet-type medium piece by piece and is configured to detect the arrival and passing of a sheet of the sheet-type medium. The control unit is configured to control the upper conveyor belt  153  to move or stop moving according to the information feedback from the sensor device  17 , thereby connecting the adjacent sheet-type mediums, entering into the arc-shaped stacking device, end to end. For facilitating discharging or recycling the whole stack of sheet-type medium, corresponding to the three-section design of the arc-shaped plate, a first conveyor belt assembly  15  is provided corresponding to the upper conveyor belt  153 , a second conveyor belt assembly  22  is provided corresponding to the front arc-shaped plate  19 , and a third conveyor belt assembly  23  is provided corresponding to the reversing device  25 . 
         [0039]    Reference is made to  FIG. 3  and  FIG. 4 . Two pairs of convex ribs  183 ,  184  are formed on a section of the arc-shaped surface of the rear arc-shaped plate  18  at two sides of the upper conveyor belt  153 . A distance between each pair of convex ribs  183 ,  184  is smaller than the minimum dimension of the sheet-type medium in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction. Reference is made to  FIG. 5 . To increase the conveying force of the upper conveyor belt to the sheet-type medium at the position of the convex ribs, a floating pinch roller  30  is provided on a side, away from the arc-shaped plate  18 , of the upper conveyor belt at a position corresponding to the convex ribs  183 , and is fixed at an end of a floating plate  32  via a mandrel  31 . The floating plate  32  is pivotally mounted on a mandrel  33 . 
         [0040]    Referring to  FIG. 1 , the specific working process of the deposit machine is illustrated herein. When depositing, a customer puts one or more sheets of banknotes at the depositing port  101 , and the banknotes are separated by the sheet separating device  1  piece by piece and then passes through the sheet tilt correction device  2  and the sheet identifying device  3 . The banknotes determined to be normal and the face value of which has been identified or the checks which are identifiable enter into the temporary storage device  4  via a route  102 . The banknotes or checks which are unidentifiable are returned to the stacking and recycling device  5  via a route  103  and a routine  105 , and then are aligned and stacked at the stacking unit  51 , and the returned banknotes are stacked and then delivered out after the banknotes at the depositing port  101  are completely separated. When it is determined that the returned banknotes or checks are not withdrawn by the operator in a specific time, the banknotes or checks are recycled to the recycling unit  52 . 
         [0041]    Referring to  FIG. 6 , the banknotes depositing and returning process of the deposit machine is described herein. After the banknotes are completely separated piece by piece, the banknotes detected determined to be normal and the face value of which has been identified are conveyed into the temporary storage device  4 , at this time, if the customer confirms depositing, the banknotes are conveyed out of the temporary storage  4  and then conveyed into the storage box  6  via a routine  104 , thereby implementing the banknotes depositing process. If the customer cancels depositing, the banknotes are conveyed out of the temporary device  4  and conveyed to the stacking and recycling device  5  via the routine  105 , and then are aligned and stacked in the stacking unit  51 , and finally are stacked and then delivered out, thereby implementing the banknotes returning process. When it is determined that the returned banknotes are not withdrawn by the customer in a specific time, the banknotes are recycled to the recycling unit  52 . 
         [0042]    Reference is made to  FIG. 2  and  FIG. 7 . The banknotes are returned via the routine  105  and are clamped between an upper delivering conveyor belt  11  and a lower delivering conveyor belt  12  piece by piece to be conveyed to the stacking and recycling device  5 . An upper guiding board  13  and a lower guiding board  14  are arranged in the advancing direction of the discharged banknotes. The first conveyor belt assembly  15  arranged in parallel to the advancing direction of the banknotes is provided in front (the rightward direction in the figures) of the upper guiding board  13 . A first sensor device  17  is arranged between the driving roller  151  and the delivering roller  16 , and is configured to detect each sheet of discharged banknote. The rear arc-shaped plate  18 , the front arc-shaped plate  19  and the reversing device  25  which have similar curvatures are provided below the first conveyor belt assembly  15 , and a rear-end plane  181  of the rear arc-shaped plate  18  is obviously lower than the outlet (a port for discharging the banknotes) formed between the upper delivering conveyor belt  11  and the lower delivering conveyor belt  12 . Above the front section of the front arc-shaped plate  19 , the movable blocking plate  20  is pivotally mounted on a mandrel  152  and has two working states, including a closed state as shown in  FIG. 2  and an open state as shown in  FIG. 7 . A second sensor device  21  is fixed in front of the movable blocking plate  20  and is configured to detect the presence of banknotes in front of the movable blocking plate  20  and above the front arc-shaped plate  19 . The adjustable second conveyor belt assembly  22  is arranged below the front arc-shaped plate  19 , and the third conveyor belt assembly  23  is arranged at a corresponding position at the rear end of the second conveyor belt assembly  22 . The first conveyor belt assembly  15 , the second conveyor belt assembly  22  and the third conveyor belt assembly  23  are driven by the same power. A storage container  24  is arranged below the recycling unit  52 , and an inlet of the storage container  24  is corresponding to a conveying port formed by a recycling floating roller  221  of the second conveyor belt assembly  22  and a driving roller  231  of the third conveyor belt assembly  23 . The reversing device  25  is arranged between the rear arc-shaped plate  18  and the front arc-shaped plate  19  and above the conveying port formed by the recycling floating roller  221  and the driving roller  231 , and is pivotally mounted on a mandrel  26 , and has two working states, including a first position as shown in  FIG. 2  and a second position as shown in  FIG. 7 . 
         [0043]    Referring to  FIG. 8  and  FIG. 9 , the first conveyor belt assembly  15  is illustrated in detail. A first conveyor belt  153  (that is the upper conveyor belt) of the first conveyor belt assembly  15  is arranged around the driving roller  151 , a roller  154 , a roller  155  and the pinch roller  156 . The lower section of the first conveyor belt  153  is tensed by the upper surfaces of the rear arc-shaped plate  18  and the front arc-shaped plate  19 . The pinch roller  156  is fixed at the front end of the pressing plate  158  via a mandrel  157 , and the pressing plate  158  is swingable around the mandrel  152 . 
         [0044]    Referring to  FIGS. 10 to 12 , the second conveyor belt assembly and the third conveyor belt assembly of the stacking and recycling device are illustrated. Two abreast second conveyor belts  222  of the second conveyor belt assembly  22  are arranged around the recycling floating roller  221 , the second driving roller  223 , a second pinch roller  224  and a tensioning roller  225 . The second pinch roller  224  is directed to the pinch roller  156  of the first conveyor belt assembly  15 . The recycling floating roller  221  is mounted on a recycling floating support  226  through a pair of bearings and is swingable around a mandrel  227 . A banknote-delivering floating support  229  swingable around a mandrel  228  is mounted at a front end of the second conveyor belt assembly  22 , and has two working states, including a first position as shown in  FIG. 11  and a second position as shown in  FIG. 12 . The swinging of the delivering floating support  229  and the movable blocking plate  20  are driven by the same power. The delivering floating support  229  is provided with two rows of roller sets  230  corresponding to the second conveyor belt  222 . The roller sets  230  may make the working surface of the second conveyor belt  222  higher or lower than the upper arc-shaped surface of the front arc-shaped plate  19  through the swinging of the delivering floating support  229 . A third conveyor belt  233  of the third conveyor belt assembly  23  is arranged around a third driving roller  232  and the third driven roller  231 . 
         [0045]    Referring to  FIGS. 13 to 17 , the process for realizing the function of the stacking and recycling device is illustrated. When the banknotes are to be returned, the movable blocking plate  20  is in the closed state as shown in  FIG. 13 , to prevent the banknotes from moving in the advancing direction of banknotes. The delivering floating support  229  is in the first position, to make the working surface of the upper section of the second conveyor belt  222  lower than the upper arc-shaped surface of the front arc-shaped plate  19 , thus, when slipping along the arc-shaped plate, the banknotes will not contact the working surface of the second conveyor belt  222 . The reversing device  25  is in the first position, to allow the banknotes to pass along the arc-shaped surface smoothly. The first sheet of banknote  27  is delivered out by the upper delivering conveyor belt  11  and the lower delivering conveyor belt  12 , the front end of the banknote passes through the first sensor device  17  (an acquisition module), the sensor  17  feeds back an information to a processing module of the control system, and the processing module processes the information and then sends out a signal, to start a first driving motor (an execution module) immediately or start the first driving motor after a period of time, thereby driving the first conveyor belt assembly  15 , the second conveyor belt assembly  22  and the third conveyor belt assembly  23  to rotate in the direction shown in  FIG. 13 . The first conveyor belt assembly  15  cooperates with the rear arc-shaped plate  18  to convey the banknote forward, the sensor  17  feeds back an information to the processing module of the control system when the tail end of the banknote leaves the first sensor device  17 , and the processing module processes the information and sends out a signal to stop the first driving motor, and in this case, all of the conveyor belt assemblies are stopped, the banknote stops at position  182  with the tail end being exposed behind the first conveyor belt assembly  15 . The front end of the first sheet of banknote  27  reaches the first pair of convex ribs  183  and the second pair of convex ribs  184 . As shown in  FIG. 15 , due to the action on the front end of the first sheet of banknote  27  from the first conveyor belt  153 , the first pair of convex ribs  183  and the second pair of convex ribs  184 , the first sheet of banknote  27  is bent upward at two sides of the advancing direction, thus the section, perpendicular to the advancing direction, of the banknote forms a V shape. When the second sheet of banknote  28  is delivered out, the front end of the second sheet of banknote passes through the first sensor device  17 , the first sensor device  17  feeds back an information to the control system, and the control system sends out a signal for starting the first driving motor, to start the first driving motor immediately or after a period of time, thereby driving the first conveyor belt assembly, the second conveyor belt assembly and the third conveyor belt assembly to rotate in the direction shown in  FIG. 13 . The front end of the second sheet of banknote  28  is superposed on the tail end of the first sheet of banknote  27 , and the two sheets of banknotes which are partially overlapped are conveyed forward together by the first conveyor belt assembly  15 . After the tail end of the second sheet of banknote leaves the first sensor device  17 , the first sensor device  17  feeds back information to the control system, and the control system stops the first driving motor, and the second sheet of banknote stops at the position  182 . The third sheet of banknote and the subsequent banknotes are conveyed in the same manner, in which the front end of a subsequent sheet of banknote is superposed on the tail end of a previous sheet of banknote. When the front end of the first sheet of banknote  27  reaches the movable blocking plate  20 , the banknote is prevented from moving forward, and slips with respect to the first conveyor belt  153 . The action force on the banknotes from the first conveyor belt  153  is greater than the frictional force between the banknotes, thereby making the second sheet of banknote  28  and the first sheet of banknote  27  rub against each other to be aligned to the movable blocking plate  20 . The rubbing process is illustrated as follow. Under the action of the first conveyor belt  153 , the first pair of convex ribs  183  and the second pair of convex ribs  184 , the second sheet of banknote  28  is bent upward at two side of the advancing direction, thereby making the section, perpendicular to the advancing direction, of the banknote form a V shape. The two sides of the second sheet of banknote  28  being bent upward makes the two sides of the second sheet of banknote  28  higher than the two sides of the first sheet of banknote  27 , which intensifies the strength of the banknotes in the advancing direction. Therefore, when the second sheet of banknote  28  or the first sheet of banknote  27  have slits, the slits can be avoided in a certain extent. And if the banknote is blocked at the slit, the first conveyor belt  153  can provide an enough conveying force for the second sheet of banknote  28 , to allow the second sheet of banknote  28  to cross the slit without being folded and arched. As shown in  FIG. 16 , the third sheet of banknote and the subsequent banknotes go through the same process, and the front ends thereof are eventually aligned to the movable blocking plate  20 . 
         [0046]    After all of the banknotes are delivered out, that is, the banknotes have been processed, the control system sends out a signal to control the second motor, to shift the movable blocking plate  20  to the open state as shown in  FIG. 17 , thereby removing the blockage in the advancing direction of the banknotes. Meanwhile, the delivering floating support  229  is shifted to the second position to make the working surface of the second conveyor belt  222  higher than the upper arc-shaped surface of the front arc-shaped plate  19 , thus the working surface of the second conveyor belt  222  is in contact with the banknotes. The first driving motor is started to drive the first conveyor belt assembly, the second conveyor belt assembly and the third conveyor belt assembly to rotate in the direction shown in  FIG. 17 . The banknotes are clamped between the first conveyor belt assembly  15  and the second conveyor belt assembly  22  to be delivered out, and the pressing plate  158  may automatically adjust the gap between the pinch roller  156  and the second pinch roller  224  according to the total thickness of the banknotes. According to the time counting of the controlling program, the transmission structure stops the conveyor belts when the banknotes are delivered out for a certain distance, and the tail ends of the banknotes are clamped between the pinch roller  156  and the second pinch roller  224 , thereby accomplishing the delivering process. In the case that the whole stack of the delivered banknotes haven&#39;t been withdrawn by the operator timely, the movable blocking plate  20  and the reversing device  25  of the stacking and recycling device are shifted to the position as shown in  FIG. 7 , the control system controls the first conveyor belt assembly, the second conveyor belt assembly and the third conveyor belt assembly to rotate in the reversed direction, and the whole stack of banknotes are conveyed reversely under the action of the first conveyor belt assembly and the second conveyor belt assembly and guided into the recycling box  52  by the reversing device  25  in the reverse conveying process. 
         [0047]    The embodiments described hereinabove are only preferred embodiments of the present application, and should not be interpreted as limitation to the present application. The technical solutions claimed by the present application not only can be applied to the financial field for processing banknotes, but also can process checks or other whole stack of sheet-type medium which are required to be separated piece by piece. Therefore, for those skilled in the art, a few of modifications and improvements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, and these modifications and improvements are also deemed to fall into the scope of the present application.
A sheet-type medium stacking device includes a piece-by-piece sheet-type medium conveying mechanism, an upper conveyor belt, an arc-shaped stacking plate, a movable blocking mechanism, a sensor device, and a control unit, wherein at least one pair of convex ribs are formed on a section, close to the conveying mechanism, of the arc-shaped surface of the arc-shaped stacking plate at two sides of the upper conveyor belt, and a distance between the pair of convex ribs is smaller than the minimum dimension of the sheet-type medium in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction, therefore the sheet-type medium being clamped and conveyed forms a V shape, which greatly increases the rigidity of the sheet-type medium, and effectively solves the problems of blockage caused by the slit at the tail of the sheet-type medium and blockage caused by folding and arching of soft and old medium.
