Description
TITLE: INTEGRATED BANKNOTE VALIDATOR AND DISPENSER
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to banknote validators which are additionally designed to selectively store received banknotes m a manner to allow later dispensing thereof.
Banknote validators are widely used m vending machine applications as well as other machines designed for financial transactions These validators receive a banknote and conduct an evaluation to determine the denomination and authenticity of the banknote. If the banknote is accepted, it is normally stored m a removable cassette and the user is provided with an appropriate credit with respect to the vending machine.
It has also been known to combine a banknote validator with a banknote dispensing unit. The banknote dispensing unit allows dispensing of banknotes which have been previously stored m the device. Banknotes received by the validator are separately stored m the removable banknote cassette and are not fed to the banknote dispensing unit. Basically, these type of machines are serviced on a frequent basis and the banknote dispensing units are charged with a new supply of banknotes.
An automatic teller machine is disclosed m U.S. Patent 5,135,212 where received banknotes are temporarily stored for later dispensing. Banknotes of a predetermined denomination are temporarily stored m an accumulator and subsequently dispensed as required.
One of the problems associated with combination banknote validators and dispensers is the small amount of space available m vending or gaming machines for receiving the unit. In addition, banknote validators with an
accumulator have not been reliable and are subject to higher maintenance. Stand alone combined banknote acceptors and dispensers have not been cost effective to businesses requiring a high dollar revenue per square foot of retail space.
The present invention overcomes a number of these problems with respect to the prior art structures.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The integrated validator and dispenser 2 is typically mounted m a cabinet 3 (Fig. 3) or other structure where the user has access to the bezel 16 of the validator 2 and the bezel 30 of the banknote stacker and dispenser 50. A user inserts banknotes to the validator 4 through the banknote slot 6 and the validator 4 conducts an evaluation of the banknote as it is moved through the validator. This evaluation determines whether the banknote is accepted or rejected. If the banknote is rejected, it is preferrably returned to the user through the same
banknote slot 6. If the banknote is accepted, the validator discharges the banknote at 15 to the central processing path 17 for eventual processing of the banknote by the combination unit.
The integrated validator and dispenser has a backup chargeable power supply 20 to allow the integrated unit to complete any transactions in the event of a power disruption. This integrated unit is capable of receiving a series of banknotes using the banknote validator and allowing the user to achieve a desired credit value. The credit value can be displayed by the validator, such as on the display screen 12. The integrated unit is also capable of returning the precise banknotes or other banknotes to the user in the event that the user cancels the transaction. A disruption of power can cause problems if it occurs during a transaction and the backup power supply 30 overcomes this problem. This power supply is removable as shown in Figure 1 and is inserted into the device to provide the necessary power when located in the position shown in Figure 2.
The integrated device also allows the user to insert a smart card through the smart card slot 8 for electronic payment of a transaction. Typically, the integrated validator and dispenser is associated with a further device such as a vending machine, gaming machine or financial transaction terminal in a retail location and as such, receives signals regarding the value of a desired transaction. The integrated unit allows the user to effect payment. The validator can include certain control buttons indicated as 10 and the dispenser can also include a series of buttons 34.
The processing of the banknote after it has been accepted by the validator can be appreciated from the sectional view of Figure 3. An accepted banknote is passed through the validator and moved along path 14 and is
discharged from the validator at position 15. A banknote moves from the discharge location 15 to the central processing path 17 and transported towards the directing rotary switch 100. The rotary switch 100 is rotatable about the central axis 102 and can assume various positions for connecting any of the accumulators 40, 42 and 44 with the banknote stacker and dispenser 50, or with each other, or can allow the accepted banknote to move through the switch to be received in the removable banknote cassette 52. The rotary switch shown has basically three paths; one path being a 60 degree connection which in this case, shows accumulator 42 connected with the accumulator 40. It also has a straight through path which is connected to allow a banknote to pass through the center of the switch and a further path 120 which in this case, is not connecting any of the units . Depending upon the decision by the validator with respect to how the received banknote is to be treated, the rotary switch is adjusted to complete the necessary path.
The accumulators 40, 42 and 44 are all of the same design and are replaceable, one with the other. They each include an entryway 30 degrees from the horizontal for cooperating with the rotary switch 100. Similarly, the banknote stacker and dispenser 50 has an entryway 30 degrees from the horizontal.
A received banknote can be stored in any of the accumulators 40, 42 and 44 or can be stored in the banknote cassette 52. Each of the accumulators stores a banknote in series and winds the banknote about a drum. Belts are provided which are wound onto the drum with the banknote and serve to separate received banknotes one from the other. Thus the banknotes are stored in the accumulators in a serial manner and are dispensed from the unit one by one. Each accumulator includes its own reversible motor 41 for rotating the drum 43 through a drive train arrangement as shown. As the belt is fed onto the drum 43, an
underlying belt or tape is also wound on as well as an overlying tape. In this way, a newly received banknote s separated from banknotes earlier wound on the accumulator.
In some cases, it is necessary for the integrated unit to return to the customer a certain value which can include returning a number of banknotes to the user. Th s can occur to provide change to the user or perhaps the transaction has been cancelled. Preferrably, each of the accumulators 40, 42 and 44 store banknotes of a specified denomination. For example, accumulator 42 could store $Ξ banknotes, accumulator 40 could store $10 banknotes, and accumulator 44 could store $20 banknotes. In this case, f a user inserts a $5 banknote and it is accepted by the validator, the banknote can be accumulated in accumulator 42 for later dispensing if necessary. Thus, each of the accumulators can store accepted banknotes for later dispensing.
As will be more fully explained, each of these accumulators can also temporarily serve as an escrow unic, or collectively serve as an escrow unit. For example, the validator can keep track of a series of banknotes which are inserted and accepted by the validator. In this case, perhaps accumulator 42 has been temporarily assigned to be an escrow accumulator. A series of banknotes are accepted by the validator, and stored in series in accumulator 42. If the transaction is accepted, the accumulator 42 and the integrated unit can then remove the banknotes from the accumulator for appropriate storage in one of the other accumulators or perhaps storage in the banknote cassette 52. It can also be appreciated that the accumulators car- act collectively as an escrow accumulator with each of these devices temporarily storing certain banknotes with the validators maintaining track of which banknotes have been inserted and approved.
In this escrow function, the fact that the banknote accumulator stores a certain denomination can be overlooked, as it is functioning as a temporary escrow unit. Once the transaction has been accepted, decisions can be made with respect to whether these accepted banknotes should be stored on an accumulator for later use or perhaps they will be discharged to the banknote cassette.
The integrated unit can also provide a return of the credit amount by merely maintaining an account of the amount of funds stored on the accumulators and confirming that the collected received banknote value can be returned. For example, a user could insert a $50 bill and this banknote could be accepted and placed m the banknote cassette 52. This would be the case if the accumulator storing $10 banknotes has at least five of these banknotes returned to the user m the event of cancellation. This determination can also be based on the effective amounts collectively stored on the accumulators and the ability to return this amount to the user.
Under this operating system, it is not necessary to return the identical banknotes to the user. It can also be appreciated that this device can operate using either of these operating systems and can initially function to accumulate the received banknotes for return of the identical banknotes to a user but default to the second criteria if it is more desirable as determined by the combination device.
Figure 3 shows additional details of the banknote stacker and dispenser 50. This un t receives banknotes from any of the accumulators and allows received banknotes to be stacked one on top of the other on the rotating drum 51. This rotating drum cooperates with the endless belts 53 and 55 to maintain the banknotes m a stack on the drum A banknote is fed through the inlet 57 m timed
relationship with any banknotes stacked on the drum 51, and thus, a stack of banknotes is accumulated on the drum. When the desired stack of banknotes to be dispensed has been accumulated on the drum 51, a lever actuator 59 is brought into engagement slots m the drum and rotation of the drum m the same direction will cause the stack of banknotes to be stripped from the drum and discharged through the outlet 61 as a stack of banknotes. The actuator 59 is normally out of contact with the drum and is only brought into contact with the drum beneath the surface that the banknotes are stacked m the drum, to effect stripping of the stacked banknotes from the drum and dispensing of the banknotes through the slot 61.
Figure 4 shows the stacker dispenser, but m this case, the stacker dispenser 50 would be positioned within the device where the accumulator 44 is located. A banknote s received through the inlet 57 and is stacked on the drum 51. As can be seen the drum 51 is slotted and this allows the actuator 59 to contact the drum below the level that the banknotes are stacked thereon. The drum 51 of Figure 4 s always rotated m the direction shown. A received banknote is moved by belt 55 and brought into contact with drum 51. This is a timed relationship such that the banknote w ll be stacked on top of any other banknotes which have been stacked on the drum 51. The actuator 59 is located between the belts, and as such, does not interfere with belt 55. The actuator 59 m Figure 4 is shown m a clear position and it can also be seen that the actuator 59 m this position has provided a block 71 to the dispensing slot 61.
Banknotes will continue to be accumulated on the drum 51 until such time the actuator is appropriately moved into contact with the drum and the drum is continued to be rotated. Thus with the actuator position as shown m Figure 4, banknotes will be stacked on the drum 51, one
above the other. Belts 55 and 53 maintain the stack of banknotes on the drum.
Figure 5 shows a stack 77 of banknotes accumulated on the drum 51.
The motor 200, shown in Figure 6, drives gear 202 which drives gear 204 which in turn drives gears 206 and 208, which drive gears 210 and 212, and thereby control the device of belts 55 and 53, the drum 51 is rotated due to the drive of the belts 51 and 55.
Motor 240 in Figure 6 controls movement of the actuator 59 and pivots the actuator about pivot point 83 to effect dispensing of the stack of banknotes.
Figure 7 shows motor 240 driving gear 242 which drives gear 244 and cam track 245 causing cam follower 247 to move the actuator 59 and engage the drum and simultaneously open the dispensing slot 61. Once the dispensing step has been completed, motor 240 can continue to rotate and bring the actuator back to the position of Figure 7.
Figure 8 shows the actuator 59 being brought into engagement with the drum 51 and opening of the slot 61. As can be seen, from Figure 5 through 8, banknotes are fed through the inlet 57 and are discharged through the outlet 61. The stack of banknotes is accumulated on the drum 51 and rotates with the drum. Dispensing of the stack of banknotes is accomplished by moving of the actuator into contact with the drum 51 to strip the banknotes from the drum and cause the belt 55 to carry the banknotes as a stack to the dispensing slot 61.
Figures 9 through 12 show details of a modified switch 100A. In this case, four belts, 181, 182, 183 and 184, collectively define five paths, namely a first 60
degree path 185, a second 60 degree path 186, a first 12C degree path 187, a second 120 degree path 188, and the central path 189 through the switch. Basically, it can be seen that the switch has a 60 degree, a 120 degree, and a 180 degree path either side of the center line of the switch. The switch can be rotated about its central axis and can also be driven to cause the belts to move in either direction. The five paths defined through the switch, and in particular, the duplication of the 60 degree and the 120 degree path, allow increased flexibility with respect to the directing of a banknote within the device. Basically, the belts on one side of the switch move in the opposite direction to the belts on the other side of the switch.
The direction of rotation is important as it must be the appropriate direction to allow driving of the banknote from one accumulator to another device. With this arrangement, merely adjustment of the switch by rotating the same 180 degrees will affect the opposite direction of banknote movement. The direction of banknote movement within each accumulator is reversible and controlled by a separate motor.
The details of the five paths can be more easily appreciated from a review of Figure 10. Details of the various belts are more clearly shown in Figure 11. It car- be seen that the five paths allow the switch to be rotated to make the necessary connection of a path between the various devices, but also the correct direction of belt travel to effect movement of the banknote between the devices .
The five paths typically reduce the amount of rotation of the routing switch and reduce the need to reverse motor 134 (Fig. 13) .
Figure 12 is a top view of the rotary switch and shows one particular mechanism to provide for positive
indexing of the rotary switch. It can be appreciated that it is important to not only rotate the switch the necessary number of degrees to effect the necessary connection of the paths and belts, but it is important that the alignment of the switch is fairly precise. The indexing disk 400 has a series of indexing slots 402. The indexing roller 404 is moved in and out of contact with the indexing disk 400 and the rotary switch appropriately rotated. This is accomplished such that the rotary switch is appropriately located. There may be some initial misalignment but it is generally located correctly. At this point, the levered arm with the indexing roller 404 can be brought into contact with the disk and it can be seen that there are camming surfaces 406 and 408 on either side of the slot which will engage the roller and appropriately move the disk and rotary switch to precisely align the switch with the various devices located about the rotary switch. In this way precise alignment is accomplished.
Returning to Figure 3, it can be seen that the rotary switch 100 is supported in the main frame 60 and the validator 4, the stacker and dispenser 50 and the accumulators 40, 42 and 44, as well as the banknote cassette 50, are each removable from the main frame 60. In this way, if there is difficulty with respect to any one of these components, it can easily be replaced. Each of these devices include their own built in drive belt which assist in moving the banknote from the validator through the rotary switch or from the rotary switch to other devices. These units are not driven by their particular motor but connect with the drive train associated with the drive of the rotary switch. The units do include their own drives for certain components within the unit. The drive of the rotary switch also controls the drive of the drive belts through the switch.
The modified acceptor dispenser 100 shown in Figures 13 through 17 is similar to the combination unit of
Figure 1, however, in this case, the individual modules do not contain their own motor but interact with a motor positioned either side of the processing path. The stacker dispenser 110 still includes two motors 120 and 122 with motor 120 driving the drive belts within the stacker dispenser and motor 122 controlling the actuator for allowing dispensing a stack of banknotes.
As can be seen, the modified acceptor dispenser includes the central drive path 150 which passes through the routing switch 130 having five different paths for selectively connecting the discharged path from the validator with any of the accumulators 104, 106 or 108, and connecting any of these accumulators with the stacker dispenser 110. Preferrably, the stacker dispenser is also directly connectable through the routing switch with the discharge path from the validator.
Drive belts are provided both top and bottom of the routing switch 130 for moving of banknotes from the validator to the routing switch or from the routing switch to the removable banknote cassette 112. Each of the accumulators 104, 106 and 108 have been notched along one edge to make additional room for the motors 114, 116 and 118, and the drive arrangement for moving the banknote through the device.
Motor 114 through a drive train shown, drives the drum 115 on which banknotes are accumulated in a series. As earlier described, the banknotes are separated one from the other by belts and as such, are individually received and individually removable from the accumulator. A drive gear 117 projects out the edge of the module 104 and provides power to the module.
As in the earlier design, each of the modules with respect to the accumulators are of the same construction.
This is advantageous in that any of the accumulators 104, 106 and 108 can be located in any of the positions shown.
In the modified design, it can be appreciated that the central drive path 150 has been enlarged and the individual modules have been notched to provide additional room for the various drive motors and drive belts associated with the routing of the banknotes. Each of the accumulators is still controlled by its own motor, but this motor is now associated with this central drive path and is connected to the module through a gear train.
Each of the accumulators 104, 106 and 108 include the angled wall 105 for mating with the routing switch 130. This angled wall is relatively short to allow more space for the drives associated with the central pathway. The angled wall preferrably forms an angle of about 120 degrees with wall 107. Wall 109 is angled rearwardly to provide additional space. With the present design four modules are spaced about the routing switch 130 such that each module has an inlet located in the same manner as the other modules. The accumulators are rotated 180 degrees about a horizontal axis and/or 180 degrees about a vertical axis to orientate the accumulator for connection with the routing switch 130.
The stacker dispenser 110 is also notched to provide additional room for locating the motor 134 with the central drive path 150. This motor through a gear train, drives the various belts associated with the central drive path. In contrast to the accumulators, the banknote stacker and dispenser 110 does include its own motors 120 and 122 within the device.
Figure 14 and Figure 15 show how the various modules, the banknote cassette and the validator 102 can all be removed from the frame 140. Each of these components are slidably received within the frame 140 and
are slidably removable as indicated. Figure 15 also shows the removable power backup supply 172. The combination unit also includes its own controller 174 which cooperates with the validator 102 and the various accumulators and dispensers to appropriately route and store banknotes. In addition, this controller interacts with another device such as a vending machine to provide coordinated processing.
Figure 15 also shows the removable chassis 160 which releasably supports the banknote accumulators and the banknote dispenser. The central drive path 150 and the various motors are also secured and part of the chassis 160. Spring latches 162, 164, 166 and.168 serve to maintain the three accumulators and the stacker dispenser in the chassis 160. Each of these components can be removed as illustrated in Figure 17. Replacement of any of the modules in chassis 160 provides proper registration of the modules and any drive relationship with the routing switch 130 and the drive through the central drive path 150.
The chassis 160 is also serviceable by releasing latch 161 and pivotting the two components of the chassis about the pivot axis 163. In this way the centre axis of the central drive path 150 is exposed as well as the routing switch 130. If there are problems associated with the chassis 160, it can be replaced with a further chassis. Any of the modules can be removed from the problem chassis and inserted in the new chassis. Similarly, if there are problems associated with any of the modules, they may easily be replaced. It can also be appreciated that if there are problems associated with the frame 140, it could also be replaced and the remaining components inserted in the new frame.
Figure 3 and Figure 13 clearly show the compact design and the clustering of the stacker and dispenser and
the accumulators about the rotary routing switch and the movement of a banknote through the rotary routing switch to the banknote cassette. The device is simple and compact in design, and easily serviceable. It can further be appreciated that this design is also expandable. For example, the banknote cassette 52 of Figure 3 can be moved downwardly and four additional modules with a rotary switch can be located at the discharge 43 at the base of the accumulator 40 and accumulator 44. In this way, eight modules can be clustered around two rotary switches and the banknote cassette located below. In such an expanded design, some of the modules could be banknote cassettes or modules where the banknote is not returnable.
Figures 14 through 17 clearly show the ease of service and the simple replacement of modules.
Although various preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described herein in detail, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, that variations may be made thereto without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the appended claims .
