FIG. 2 is a structural view showing the inside of the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 2, and FIG. 3 is a rear view thereof. This banknote pay-in / pay-out machine 2
In order to deposit a banknote, the operator places the banknote in the slot 11 and the
The customer data (customer code, sales date and time of the bill, etc.) of the bill is sent via a (1b). At this time, the operator's staff code is input at the same time.

When a deposit start command is sent from the teller's machine 1a (1b), the banknotes are taken in one by one by the rotation of the take-in roller 29 from the slot 11, and the processing is started.

The banknotes taken in from the insertion slot 11 pass through the pre-inspection conveyance path 100 and are guided to a deposit inspection section 34 as inspection means. The banknotes taken into the inspection unit 34 are discriminated in terms of denomination, shape, front and back, authenticity, correctness, and the like. Based on the discrimination result, a control unit (CPU 1
00) is a sorting gate group 35a installed in the transport path.
The banknotes are distributed to each stacking unit using ~ 35k. The banknote that has exited from the inspection unit 34 is the first deposit reject gate 3
According to 5a, in the case of undeterminable tickets, the tickets are sorted and accumulated in the deposit reject box 12.

The undecidable ticket is set in the slot 11 again and taken in again, or is manually entered into the count data. In addition, the banknote determined is next to the front and back gate 35b.
Is sorted into front and back notes, front-facing ones are guided to the front transport path, and back-facing ones are guided to the reverse transport path,
The front and back of banknotes are available.

The banknotes whose fronts and backs are collected enter the sorting transport path 40 through the sorting gate 35c and the safe gate 35d. The banknotes that have entered the sorting transport path 40 are temporarily stored in the gate 35e.
~ 35g by denomination, temporary loss by temporary storage 41a ~
It is integrated on 41d flapper groups 45a to 45d.
When the number of banknotes to be stacked increases, the upper surface of the banknotes is detected by a stacking full sensor (not shown). When the accumulation full sensor detects that the accumulation of the banknotes is full, the flappers 45a and 45b rotate downward by about 90 °, and the accumulated banknotes are moved to the lower flappers 45c and 45c.
will be supported by d. If the stacking of the banknotes is continued as it is, the upper surface of the banknotes is again detected by the stacking full sensor, and when the banknotes are detected, the flapper 45c,
Similarly, 45d rotates downward by about 90 °. At this time, the bills are accumulated on the shutter 47 attached to the bottom of the accumulation section. Further, when the accumulation of the banknotes is continued, the upper surface of the banknotes is detected again by the full sensor.
(1b) is notified. When the accumulation is full, the shutter 47 is opened right and left by a driving mechanism (not shown), and the accumulated bills fall into the storages 48a to 48d. Separators 49 are provided in the storages 48a to 48d.
49 is waiting at the upper end, and the dropped bills fall on the separators 49, 49. Shutter 47
When is opened, the pusher mechanism 52 that has been waiting on the upper part of the temporary stacking unit 41 is driven to move all the banknotes remaining in the temporary stacker 41 into the storages 48a to 48d. When this movement is completed, the pusher 52 rises, and the shutter 47 is closed. In this state, a state of receiving the next deposit is completed.

Next, the dispensing operation will be described. The dispensing operation is established by sending bills accumulated in the storages 48 a to 48 d to the dispensing port 14. When the withdrawal start command is transmitted from the teller's machine 1a (1b) to the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 2, the control unit of the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 2 controls the takeout mechanism 56 of the storages 48a to 48d in which the payout banknotes are accumulated. Drive. This takeout mechanism 56 is the same as the takeout mechanism attached to the slot 11. By rotating the take-out mechanism 56, bills are taken out one by one, and the number of taken-out bills is counted by a take-out counting sensor 57 installed immediately after the take-out port. When the count reaches the number of payouts, the take-out mechanism 56 stops driving, and the take-out ends. The picked-up bill is conveyed to the dispensing inspection section 59 through the storage lower conveyance path 58a. The dispensing inspection unit 59 takes two bills and checks the denomination, and if there is no problem, the upper dispensing transfer path 5
8b.

At this time, if there is a problem with the bill, an additional take-out is instructed to the take-out mechanism. After the banknote that has passed through the withdrawal inspection unit 59 has passed through the inspection gate 35h,
It enters the upper-stage dispensing conveyance path 58b, and is conveyed to the dispensing port 14 by the sealing gate 35i.

The bills conveyed to the dispensing port side by the sealing gate 35i are transferred to the dispensing reject box 13 by the dispensing reject gate 35j, and the bills judged as having a problem are dispensed to the dispensing reject box 13. Are accumulated in the dispensing port 14, respectively. When the designated banknotes have been accumulated in the outlet 14, the electromagnetic lock (not shown) is released, the outlet is opened, and the banknotes can be taken out. This completes the dispensing process.

The bills in the storages 48a to 48d are normally weighed by the bills, and are pressed against the feed roller of the take-out mechanism 56, so that the banknotes are stably taken out. The backup mechanism 60 is driven inside, and the bills in the storages 48a to 48d can be pushed from above. This bill remaining amount is determined by a sensor (not shown).
This is performed by detecting the position of the bill upper surface in the storages 48a to 48d.

Next, the storages 48a to 48 have a large number of deposited bills.
The operation of automatically turning the banknotes to the banding / small bundle payment machine 3 when the number of banknotes in d becomes large will be described. Storage 48a
Sealing the bills of ~ 48d is called automatic storage arrangement, and is automatically started when the number of banknotes in the storages 48a ~ 48d exceeds a certain value. This fixed number of sheets can be set from the teller's machine 1a (1b), and by making this setting, the number of bills in the storages 48a to 48d is always kept constant. When the number of banknotes in the storages 48a to 48d becomes equal to or greater than the set value, storage rearrangement is automatically activated, and removal from the storages 48a to 48d is started. The picked-up banknotes are discriminated, such as denomination confirmation, by the withdrawal inspection unit 59, and only the banknotes suitable for sealing are conveyed to the sealing stacking unit 61 by the sealing gate 35i. When 100 sheets are conveyed to the banding stacking section 61, they are sent to the banding section by a mechanism / process described later. At this time, when bills sent from different suppliers are mixed and accumulated in one sealing and accumulating unit 61, the control unit determines how many of the 100 accumulated bills are accumulated from different suppliers. Is obtained at

On the other hand, the control of the storages 48a to 48d checks the remaining amount of bills in the storages 48a to 48d every time 100 sheets are taken out, and stops the taking out when the remaining amount becomes equal to or less than the set value. By controlling in this manner, the storage 48a
The number of banknotes within .about.48d is always kept constant.

Next, the sealing and stacking section 61 will be described in detail. As shown in FIG.
The stacking and stacking section 6 is composed of a stacking section 61a and 61b.
Switching between two stages of integration is performed by an integration switching gate 35k.
, And the banknotes first taken out of the safes 48a to 48d are stacked in the upper sealing stacking unit 61a.
The stacked banknotes are stacked on the banding / stacking backup 62a. When the banknotes accumulate and the top surface of the banknote approaches the stacking entrance, the fullness of the banding / stacking sensor (not shown) is detected. When full is detected, banding backup 6
2a is moved down to the lower end by the driving mechanism, and the banknote is moved onto the sealing horizontal carrier 63a.

Further, the accumulation progresses, and the upper sealing section 61
When 100 banknotes have been stacked in a, the stack switching gate 35k causes the subsequent banknotes to be stacked in the lower sealed stacking section 6a.
1b.

The 100 bills stacked in the upper stacking and stacking section 61a are sealed by the sealing horizontal carrier 63a while being pressed from above by the sealing stack clamp 64a.
It is moved to the small bundle payment machine 3 side.

At this time, since the banding accumulation clamp 64a is fixed on the banding horizontal carrier 63a, it moves together. The moved 100 bills are pulled out by the mechanism of the banding / small bundle payment machine 3 described later.

When it is detected that the bill has been pulled out, the banding horizontal carrier 63a returns to its original position. At this time, the banding backup 62a and the banding clamp 64a also return to their original positions.

One cycle is completed by the above operation. Next, the lower sealing and stacking unit 61b seals 100 bills by the same operation.
Send to small bundle payment machine 3. In this manner, the upper / lower stacking / stacking units 61a and 61b sequentially send the banknotes to the banding / small bundle payment machine 3, whereby the banding can be performed continuously. When a fraction remains at the time of banding, as shown in FIG. 2, the entire banding / stacking section 61a, 61b hops up along with the preceding conveyance path, so that the banknotes in the stacking section 61a, 61b can be taken out. Has become.

Next, the banding / small bundle payment machine 3 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a view of the banding / small bundle payment machine 3 viewed from the side. Banknotes are fed from the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 2 to the banding / small bundle payment machine 3 via the banding stacking units 61a and 61b. The banding stacking units 61a and 61b are used for the banknote pay-in / pay-out device
Is inserted into the banding / small bundle payment machine 3, the small bundle hand unit 71 moves to receive bills. The small bundle hand unit 71 has a two-stage configuration of an upper hand unit 71a and a lower hand unit 71b. The small bundle hand unit 71 can hold bills even when bills are supplied from the upper stage or from the lower stage of the banding stacking unit 61. I can do it.

The small bundle hand units 71a and 71b are formed on the same base, and are moved up and down together. The small bundle hand units 71a and 71b can detect three positions of a bill clamp position, a bill release position, and a standby position by a hand position detection sensor (not shown).

The banknote receiving operation from the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 2 is such that, when a specified number of banknotes are stacked on the banding / stacking unit 61, the banknotes are transferred from the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 2 to the banding / small bundle payment machine 3 and the upper and lower stages are determined. Is sent. Upon receipt of the signal, the banding / small bundle payment machine 3 sets a backup mechanism, which will be described later, on the upper or lower stage in accordance with a signal from the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 2.

Thereafter, the small bundle hand units 71a and 71b waiting at the standby position move to the bill clamping position, and clamp the bill by a bill clamping mechanism (not shown).
When the clamping is completed, the small bundle hand mechanisms 71a and 71b move the bill along the longitudinal direction to the bill release position while pulling the bill, and wait for the backup to clamp the bill. When the backup clamps the bill, the small bundle hand mechanisms 71a and 71b release the bill and return to the standby position. With the above operation, one cycle of the small bundle hand mechanism is completed, and the bill is pulled in.

Next, the backup mechanism 72 will be described. The backup mechanism 72 has a bill receiving base 74 in the mechanism and a backup clamp mechanism 73 above it. The backup mechanism 72 can detect three positions of an upper banknote receiving position, a lower banknote receiving position, and a carrier transfer position by a sensor group (not shown). The backup mechanism 72 that has received the bill from the small bundle hand mechanism 71
Waits for the return to the standby position, starts moving from the upper banknote receiving position or the lower banknote receiving position, and moves to the carrier transfer position. At this time, the backup clamp mechanism 73 is in a clamped state and holds down the banknote on the backup so as not to drop.

When the backup mechanism 72 moves to the carrier delivery position, the banknotes are set at the same height as the carrier 75. In this state, the carrier 75
Is moved forward, the bill is pushed by the back plate of the carrier 75 and is pulled out from the backup 72. With the above operation, the transfer from the backup 72 to the carrier 75 is completed. When the carrier 75 starts moving forward, the banknotes are transferred to the carrier 75 by a carrier clamp (not shown).
It is designed to be clamped so that it does not fall from above. Further, the sealing shutter 76 disposed in front of the carrier 75 is structured so as to pass the bill while being pressed by the bill on the carrier 75 and rotating in the carrier moving direction. The carrier 75 can detect three positions of a bill receiving position, a bundle position, and a vertical carrier transferring position by a sensor group (not shown).

The bills on the carrier 75 are
By this, it is moved to a bundling mechanism 91 as a bundling means and is bundled. The bundling mechanism 91 is configured to supply the band 9 with the supply unit 9.
3. A feed roller 94 for feeding the band 92 supplied from the supply unit 93, a winding mechanism 95 for winding the band 92 around the banknote, and cutting the band 92 after winding the band 92 around the banknote. The cutter 96 is provided. At a predetermined position below the bundle position, a print head 97 as a printing unit for printing a two-dimensional code described later is provided on a bandage 92 on which the bills are bundled.

The bundled bills move on the carrier 75 from the bundle position to the vertical carrier transfer position, and the carrier 75 stops there. At this time, the bill hits the outer side surface of the sealing shutter 76 and stops at a certain position.

At this time, the vertical carrier 77 rises from the standby position below the carrier 75 and moves to a position on the carrier 75 where the banknote can be grasped. Vertical carrier 7 that has completed movement
Reference numeral 7 holds the banknotes on the carrier 75 by a vertically provided carrier clamp mechanism 78. When the vertical carrier clamp 78 grasps the bill, the carrier 75 further starts moving and returns to the bill receiving position. At this time, the bill is pushed by the sealing shutter 76 and comes off the carrier 75. The banknote completely on the vertical carrier 77 descends together with the vertical carrier 77 and enters the small bundle transport path 79.

A small bundle pusher mechanism 80 and a picker mechanism 81 are provided on the upper surface side of the small bundle transport path 79, and the small bundle on the small bundle transport path 79 is guided into the small bundle safe 83 on the lower surface side. Shutter mechanisms 82a and 82b are provided.

An opening / closing door 86 is provided on the upper surface side of the small bundle conveying path 79 so as to be openable and closable in a state located between a small bundle safe 83a and a small bundle safe 83b to be described later. The vertical carrier 77 can be introduced into the small bundle transport path 79.

On the other hand, small bundle safes 83a to 83d as bundle storage units are provided below the small bundle transport path 79, and the safes 83a to 83d are set depending on the denomination of the small bundle.
It can be stored in. In addition, the above safe 83a
The small bundle in the safe 83 can be returned to the transport path 79 by the stopper mechanism 84 and the small bundle safe backup mechanism 85 arranged in the inside 83 to 83d.

Next, a detailed description will be given of how small bundles moved by the vertical carrier 77 are stored in the small bundle safe 83 through the small bundle transport path 79. When the vertical carrier 77 approaches the transport path 79 with the small bundle clamped, the transport path opening / closing door 86 is opened by a drive motor (not shown). From here, the vertical carrier 77 that has entered the transport path 79 is transported by the transport path 7.
9 and moves to the upper part between the safes 83a and 83b and waits for the opening and closing door 86 to close. When the opening / closing door 86 is closed, a driving roller (not shown) in a nested state with the vertical carrier 77 rotates, and the small bundle is transported into the transport path 79. When the small bundle reaches the small bundle safe 83 where the small bundle is to be stored, it is stopped and stands by in a state where it can be stored. At this time, the stop position of the small bundle is adjusted by a picker mechanism 81 described later.

When the small bundle stands just above the small bundle storage 83, the left and right transport shutters 82 a and 82 b are rotated downward and fall into the safe 83. At this time, in accordance with the opening of the transport shutters 82a and 82b, the small bundle pusher mechanism 80 is simultaneously driven in the pushing direction to push the small bundle. At first, the dropped small bundle has a stopper mechanism 8
4, 84, and by the small bundle pusher mechanism 80,
Furthermore, it is pushed into the safe 83. Stopper mechanism 84
The small bundle is pushed into the safe 83 together with the small bundle so as to rotate, and is urged by a spring or the like to return to the original position by itself when the small bundle reaches a predetermined position. When the small bundle pusher 80 finishes pushing down to the position where the stopper mechanism 84 returns, the small bundle pusher mechanism 80 returns to the home position,
The transport shutters 82a and 82b are closed, and the small bundle safe 8 is closed.
3 is completed. The small bundle stored in the safe 83 is constantly urged upward by the backup mechanism 85 in the safe 83, and the small bundle is held by the stopper mechanisms 84, 84.

Next, the dispensing operation of the small bundle will be described.
When dispensing a small bundle, first, the transport shutters 82a and 82b of the safe 83 to which the small bundle is to be dispensed are opened. Thereafter, the small bundle pusher mechanism 80 is pushed into the safe 83, the small bundle in the safe 83 is pushed downward, and the stopper mechanisms 84, 84 can rotate. This rotatable stopper mechanism 8
4 and 84 are rotated and fixed in the safe 83 by a drive mechanism (not shown). Thereafter, when the small bundle pusher mechanism 80 is pulled upward, the backup mechanism 85 is raised, and the small bundles in the safe 83 are pushed up and rise to the upper end position of the small bundle pusher mechanism 80. The small bundles moved to the upper end are introduced into the small bundle transport path 79 in order from the small bundle located at the uppermost position by the drive of the picker mechanism 81. The introduced small bundle moves in the transport path 79 by the rotation of the drive roller on the upper side of the transport path 79.

When paying out continuously, if the picker mechanism 81 is driven again, the next small bundle will be paid out. In this way, when the dispensing of the small bundle is completed, the small bundle pusher mechanism 80 is pushed in as in the case of the deposit, and the surplus small bundle is stored in the safe 83 to complete the dispensing process.

The small bundle transferred into the small bundle transport path 79 moves in the transport path 79 and falls into the elevator 87 from the exit of the transport path. When all the small bundles to be dispensed enter the elevator 87, the elevator 87 starts rising and moves to the dispensing position. When the elevator 87 stops at the dispensing position, the small bundle dispensing door 24 opens, and the small bundle can be taken out. When a small bundle is taken out of the elevator 87, the absence of the small bundle is detected by a sensor (not shown), the dispensing door 24 is closed, and the transaction is completed.

When a small bundle is to be continuously discharged to the outside of the machine due to banknote arrangement or the like, the small bundle chute door 89 is opened and the elevator 87 is moved upward to drop from the small bundle transport path 79. The coming small bundle is released to the outside as it is. This has an advantage that the elevator 87 has a finite capacity, but can continuously withdraw infinitely.

Further, a damaged banknote safe 90 is provided below the elevator 87 so that a small bundle unsuitable for dispensing, for example, a damaged small bundle or a small bundle having a poor appearance can be stored. In the case where the small bundle is stored in the damaged banknote safe 90, the small bundle transport path 7
When the small bundle is dropped from the elevator 9, the elevator 87 is raised so as to be stored directly in the damaged banknote safe 90.
