Description

paper money processing device

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a banknote handling apparatus, and is suitably applied to a banknote handling apparatus or the like that is installed in, for example, a counter of a financial institution such as a bank and that carries out a desired transaction by putting banknotes therein.

Background

Conventionally, in a banknote handling apparatus used in a financial institution or the like, for example, a user is caused to deposit cash such as banknotes or coins or to pay out cash to the user, depending on the contents of a transaction with the user. As the banknote handling apparatus, for example, there is a banknote handling apparatus including: a deposit unit for allowing a user to deposit banknotes; a dispensing unit that delivers banknotes to a user; an identifying part for identifying the currency and authenticity of the put-in paper money; a conveying unit that conveys paper money; and a banknote storage box for storing banknotes by denomination (see, for example, japanese patent application laid-open No. 2013-117899).

Such a banknote handling apparatus includes 2 dispensing units 1004 (a dispensing unit 1004a and a dispensing unit 1004b) having the same configuration as each other, as in the banknote handling apparatus 1001 shown in fig. 24, 25, and 26. As shown in fig. 24, in the dispensing unit 1004a, a space surrounded by the upper guide 32, the lower guide 34, the shutter 30, and the table 38 forms an accumulation space 40 as a space for temporarily accumulating the banknotes BL. A bill stopper 52 is provided behind, i.e., inside, the shutter 30. The bill BL discharged into the accumulating space 40 is absorbed by the bill stopper 52 with the collision momentum to be accumulated on the table 38.

The banknote processing device 1001 performs a deposit counting process in which banknotes BL are fed from the deposit unit 3 to the inside and counted, or the like, in a state where the shutter 30 of the dispensing unit 1004 (the dispensing units 1004a, 100b) is closed at the time of deposit. In the deposit counting process, the banknote processing device 1001 conveys the deposit-enabled banknotes determined to be able to be deposited to the temporary holding section and temporarily stores them, and conveys and accumulates the deposit-rejected banknotes determined to be unable to be deposited to the dispensing section 1004a or 1004b, thereby completing the deposit counting process. Thereafter, the banknote handling device 1001 enters the deposit receipt process, opens the shutter 30, and allows the user to take out the deposit reject banknote.

disclosure of Invention

problems to be solved by the invention

However, since the shutters 30 of the dispensing units 1004a and 1004b are closed during the deposit counting process, even if the deposit reject banknotes are accumulated in the dispensing units 1004a and 1004b, the user cannot take out the banknotes from the dispensing units 1004a and 1004b during the deposit counting process. Therefore, even if the banknotes BL determined as the deposit reject banknotes are not damaged or the like, for example, banknotes that are deviated from the normal position during conveyance, the user cannot take out the deposit reject banknotes from the dispensing unit 1004a or 1004b and place the same in the dispensing unit 1004a or 1004b again during the deposit counting process, and it takes time until all the deposited banknotes are stored, which may reduce operability.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is desirable to provide a banknote handling apparatus capable of improving operability.

Means for solving the problems

In order to solve the problem, the banknote handling device of the present invention is provided with: a deposit unit into which banknotes are inserted; a plurality of dispensing units that discharge banknotes; and a discriminating unit that discriminates the banknotes conveyed from the deposit unit, wherein a 1 st dispensing unit of the plurality of dispensing units includes: a 1 st paper money discharging part for discharging paper money to a 1 st accumulating space of the 1 st dispensing part; a 1 st stop member which is contacted with the paper money discharged by the 1 st paper money discharging part and leaves the paper money in the 1 st accumulating space; and a 1 st shutter that restricts the withdrawal of the banknotes accumulated in the 1 st accumulation space, wherein a 2 nd dispensing unit of the plurality of dispensing units is a dispensing unit that accumulates the banknotes that are conveyed from the deposit unit and are discriminated as abnormal banknotes by the discriminator, and the 2 nd dispensing unit includes: a 2 nd bill discharging unit configured to discharge an abnormal bill to a 2 nd accumulating space of the 2 nd dispensing unit; and a 2 nd stopper member which is in contact with the abnormal bill discharged by the 2 nd bill discharging unit and retains the abnormal bill in the 2 nd accumulating space.

Thus, the banknote handling apparatus enables the user to withdraw the abnormal banknote from the 2 nd dispensing unit and to place the abnormal banknote in the depositing unit again in the deposit counting process.

Effects of the invention

according to the present invention, in the deposit counting process, the user can pull out the abnormal banknote from the 2 nd dispensing unit and put it into the depositing unit again. Therefore, the present invention can realize a banknote processing apparatus capable of improving reliability while maintaining operability.

Detailed Description

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[1 ] embodiment 1 ]

[1-1. Structure of banknote handling apparatus ]

As shown in fig. 1A and 1B, the banknote handling apparatus 1 is a so-called teller machine which is a staff-operated terminal operated by a staff member (for example, a reception window person) of a financial institution, and performs a deposit and withdrawal process of banknotes based on an operation of the staff member as a user. Note that the banknote handling apparatus 1 may be operated by a customer of a financial institution in addition to the staff member. The banknote handling apparatus 1 includes a depositing unit 3, a dispensing unit 4 (a 1 st dispensing unit 4a and a 2 nd dispensing unit 4b), a display unit 5, and an operation unit 6 at an upper end portion of a box-shaped casing 2. When the user inserts the deposited banknotes at the time of deposit transaction, the depositing section 3 separates the deposited banknotes one by one and takes them into the banknote processing apparatus 1. The dispensing unit 4 accumulates the dispensed banknotes transported from the banknote storage containers 12a to 12e and the like at the time of the dispensing transaction, and allows the user to take out the banknotes. The Display unit 5 is constituted by a Liquid Crystal Display such as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), and displays a menu interface, a result interface of various processes, and the like. The operation unit 6 is configured by a button or the like, and receives an operation on the banknote handling apparatus 1.

in addition to the deposit section 3 and the withdrawal section 4, the housing 2 of the banknote handling apparatus 1 is provided with a discriminating section 10, a temporary holding section 11, banknote storage containers 12 (banknote storage containers 12a to 12e), a reject container 13, a transport path 14, and a control section 7. The control Unit 7 is configured mainly by a CPU (Central Processing Unit), not shown, and reads and executes a predetermined program from a ROM, a flash memory, or the like, not shown, to collectively control the respective units of the banknote Processing apparatus 1. The housing 2 is provided at an upper portion thereof in a front-rear direction so that the deposit unit 3 is located at a rear side and the withdrawal unit 4 is located at a front side. The dispensing units 4 are arranged in the front-rear direction such that the 1 st dispensing unit 4a is the rear side and the 2 nd dispensing unit 4b is the front side. A temporary storage 11 is provided obliquely downward in front of the dispensing unit 4, and a discriminator 10 is provided obliquely downward behind the temporary storage 11 and behind the depositing unit 3.

The reject container 13 is positioned at the foremost side in the lower portion of the housing 2, and the banknote storage containers 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d, and 12e are arranged in the front-rear direction in the rear portion. A conveyance path 14 connecting the deposit unit 3, the dispensing unit 4, the differentiating unit 10, the temporary holding unit 11, the banknote storage containers 12a to 12e, and the reject container 13 is provided in the housing 2. The conveyance path 14 conveys the banknotes in a rectangular shape in the short side direction along a conveyance path indicated by a thick line in the figure by rollers, belts, or the like. A blade shown in a triangular shape in the figure is provided at a branch point of the conveyance path 14, and the conveyance destination of the bill is switched by rotating the blade under the control of the control unit 7.

The deposit unit 3 has a box-shaped storage unit with an open top surface. A part of the opening of the housing portion becomes the inlet 8. In the deposit transaction, the deposit section 3 separates the banknotes deposited into the storage section from the deposit port 8 one by one and takes the banknotes into the banknote handling apparatus 1. The dispensing unit 4 has a box-shaped accumulating unit with an open upper surface. The opening of the accumulating portion becomes a discharge port 9 shown in fig. 2. The dispensing unit 4 accumulates the dispensed banknotes transported from the banknote storage containers 12a to 12e and the like in the accumulating unit at the time of the dispensing transaction. The 1 st dispensing unit 4a is provided with a shutter 30 for opening and closing the discharge port 9. The shutter 30 is opened when the bills are discharged, and by opening the shutter 30, the user can take out the bills accumulated in the accumulating portion from the discharge port 9. On the other hand, the 2 nd dispensing unit 4b is not provided with a shutter for opening and closing the discharge port 9.

The discriminating section 10 discriminates the denomination, authenticity, degree of completion, traveling state, and the like of the banknotes conveyed one by one through the conveying path 14. The discriminating section 10 discriminates whether the banknote is a normal banknote that can be processed or a reject banknote that cannot be processed in the banknote processing apparatus 1 for each banknote based on the discrimination result. The temporary holding section 11 temporarily accumulates banknotes that are inserted from the deposit section 3 and are determined to be normal banknotes by the differentiating section 10. The banknotes stacked in the temporary holding section 11 are sent out from the temporary holding section 11 and conveyed to the differentiating section 10 after the transaction is established, and are conveyed to the banknote storage containers 12a to 12e for storage after the denomination is determined by the differentiating section 10.

Each of the banknote storage containers 12a to 12e is a box-shaped storage container capable of storing banknotes for each denomination, and banknotes transported through the transport path 14 are stacked vertically inside the storage container. Note that the banknote storage containers 12a to 12e not only store banknotes but also feed out the banknotes accumulated therein to the conveyance path 14 one by one. The reject container 13 is a box-shaped container capable of storing banknotes, and accumulates the banknotes judged to be rejected by the differentiating section 10.

In this configuration, in the banknote handling apparatus 1, the control unit 7 controls each unit based on the result of discriminating banknotes by the discriminating unit 10 and the like, and performs a deposit counting process, a deposit storing process, a dispensing process, a replenishing process, and a collecting process, which will be described later.

[1-2. Structure of dispensing part ]

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the dispensing unit 4 is provided with the shutter 30 in the 1 st dispensing unit 4a, while the shutter 30 is not provided in the 2 nd dispensing unit 4b and is omitted.

[1-2-1. Structure of the 2 nd dispensing part ]

As shown in fig. 4, 5, 6, and 7, in the 2 nd dispensing section 4b, a space surrounded by the upper guide 32, the lower guide 34, the bill stopper 44, and the table 38 forms a space for temporarily accumulating banknotes, that is, an accumulation space 40 as a 2 nd accumulation space. The 2 nd dispensing unit 4b shifts to the banknote accumulation state shown in fig. 4 and 6 and the banknote withdrawal state shown in fig. 5 and 7, and accumulates the banknotes BL on the table 38 in the banknote accumulation state and withdraws the banknotes BL from the accumulation space 40 by the user in the banknote withdrawal state.

The lower guide 34 is substantially triangular in side view, forming the right and left sides of the accumulation space 40. The table 38 is plate-shaped, is provided inside the lower guide 34, and accumulates bills. The upper guide 32 is plate-shaped, and forms a right side surface, a left side surface, and an upper side surface of the accumulation space 40 inside the lower guide 34.

the discharge unit 24 (fig. 6 and 7) is provided at the rear upper portion of the lower guide 34, and is composed of a paper feed roller 20 disposed at the upper side and a reverse roller 22 disposed at the lower side. The paper feed roller 20 and the reverse roller 22 are rotated counterclockwise and clockwise in the drawing by a driving unit not shown, respectively, and thereby one bill BL conveyed from the conveyance path 14 is nipped and discharged to the accumulation space 40. An impeller 50 formed of an elastic member such as rubber is provided on the rotation shaft of the counter roller 22. The impeller 50 rotates clockwise together with the counter roller 22, and thereby the rear end portion of the bill BL discharged to the accumulating space 40 is knocked down and accumulated in the accumulating space 40.

At the front end portion of the upper guide 32, 2 banknote stoppers 44 (banknote stoppers 44R and 44L) are provided at positions facing the discharge portion 24, and the 2 banknote stoppers 44 are formed of substantially rectangular solids extending substantially in the vertical direction perpendicular to the upper guide 32, and retain the deposit reject banknotes in the accumulating space 40. Hereinafter, the bill stoppers 44R, 44L are also collectively referred to as the bill stoppers 44 as stopper members. The upper end of the bill stopper 44 is connected to the upper guide 32 via a rotation shaft 45 in the left-right direction. Therefore, the bill stopper 44 is configured to be rotatable about the rotation shaft 45 as a fulcrum with respect to the upper guide 32. At the rear end portion of the bill stopper 44, a plurality of groove portions (not shown) having a V-shaped cross section are notched in a zigzag shape and arranged in the vertical direction, and extend in the width direction (left-right direction) of the bill BL perpendicular to the discharge direction in which the bill BL is discharged from the discharge portion 24.

Since the bill stoppers 44R and 44L are provided at a predetermined interval from each other in the left-right direction, an opening 42 penetrating the accumulating space 40 and the outside is formed between the bill stoppers 44R and 44L. A spring 46 as an urging member formed of an elastic member is built in between the bill stopper 44 and the upper guide 32. Therefore, the bill stopper 44 is biased clockwise in a left side view, which is a direction of closing the accumulating space 40, by the spring 46, and abuts against a stopper not shown in a normal position perpendicular to the upper guide 32 as shown in fig. 6. The urging force of the spring 46 is set to be equal to or more than a force that absorbs the force of the bill BL when the bill BL discharged from the discharge portion 24 collides with the bill stopper 44, and to be equal to or less than a force that urges the bill stopper 44 forward from the bill BL when the bill BL is pulled out from the accumulation space 40 by the user. Accordingly, the user can easily pull out the bills BL to the outside by inserting fingers into the opening portion 42, gripping the bills BL accumulated in the accumulation space 40, deforming the bills BL, and rotating the bill stopper 44 as shown in fig. 5 and 7.

In this structure, when a bill BL is discharged from the discharge portion 24 to the accumulating space 40, the leading end of the bill BL collides with the bill stopper 44. At this time, the bill stopper 44 prevents the leading end of the bill BL from hanging downward by entering the leading end into the groove portion. At this time, the bill stopper 44 is about to move counterclockwise due to collision with the bill BL, but the movement of the bill stopper 44 is suppressed by the spring 46. Thus, the bill stopper 44 absorbs the impact at the time of collision of the leading end of the bill BL discharged from the discharge portion 24, and can prevent damage to the bill BL while suppressing the bill BL from rebounding strongly.

When the banknote BL is taken out from the 2 nd dispensing section 4b in the banknote accumulation state, the user puts fingers into the accumulation space 40 through the opening 42, and pulls out the banknote BL toward the front side while grasping it. At this time, when the leading end of the bill BL comes into contact with the bill stopper 44, the bill stopper 44 rotates to the front side (i.e., counterclockwise direction) as shown in fig. 5 and 7, retreats from the path through which the bill is pulled out, and enters a bill take-out state. In this way, the 2 nd dispensing section 4b can retract the bill stopper 44 from the withdrawal path of the bills BL by utilizing the movement of the bills BL themselves pulled out from the accumulating space 40 by the user. This enables the 2 nd dispensing unit 4b to facilitate the user to pull out the banknotes BL, thereby improving operability. When the user pulls out the bill BL to the outside and a forward force is not applied to the bill BL, the bill stopper 44 is rotated clockwise by the biasing force of the spring 46 and returns to a position where the accumulating space 40 is blocked from the outside.

[1-2-2 ] Structure of the 1 st dispensing part ]

As shown in fig. 8 and 10, in the 1 st dispensing section 4a, a space surrounded by the upper guide 32, the lower guide 34, the shutter 30, and the table 38 forms a space for temporarily accumulating banknotes, that is, an accumulation space 40 as a 1 st accumulation space. The lower guide 34, the table 38, the upper guide 32, and the discharge unit 24 in the 1 st dispensing unit 4a are configured in the same manner as the 2 nd dispensing unit 4 b.

The shutter 30 is disposed in the 1 st dispensing unit 4a so as to cover the upper guide 32 and the lower guide 34, and is configured so that the sound generated when the bills BL are accumulated in the accumulation space 40 is not leaked to the outside and the bills BL are not ejected from the accumulation space 40 to the outside. The shutter 30 has a curved upper surface and is connected to the lower guide 34 at a rear end portion via a pivot shaft. Therefore, the shutter 30 is configured to be rotatable about a rotation shaft as a fulcrum with respect to the lower guide 34.

As shown in fig. 9, 2 bill stoppers 52 (bill stoppers 52R, 52L) are provided at positions opposed to the discharge portion 24 on the inner side of the front side of the shutter 30, and the 2 bill stoppers 52 are formed of a substantially rectangular parallelepiped extending almost in the up-down direction perpendicularly to the upper guide 32. Hereinafter, the bill stoppers 52R, 52L are also collectively referred to as the bill stopper 52. The bill stoppers 52R, 52L are provided inside the shutter 30 at the same positions as the bill stoppers 44R, 44L (fig. 4 and 6) in the 2 nd dispensing portion 4b with respect to the accumulating space 40 when the shutter 30 is closed. A spring, not shown, formed of an elastic member is incorporated between the bill stopper 52 and the shutter 30. Therefore, the bill stopper 52 is urged rearward by the spring. Thereby, the bill stopper 52 mounted to the shutter 30 rotates together with the shutter 30. Further, in this way, the user can easily pull out the banknotes BL accumulated in the accumulation space 40 to the outside by inserting fingers from the discharge port 9 (see fig. 3) formed in front of the accumulation space 40 in a state where the shutter 30 is empty, and gripping the banknotes BL accumulated in the accumulation space 40 to pass through the discharge port 9.

In this way, in the 1 st dispensing unit 4a, the banknote stoppers 52R and 52L are provided on the shutter 30, not on the upper guide 32, as compared with the 2 nd dispensing unit 4 b. Further, the banknote stopper 44 is provided at the 2 nd dispensing portion 4b without providing the shutter 30.

In this structure, when a bill BL is discharged from the discharge portion 24 to the accumulating space 40, the leading end of the bill BL collides with the bill stopper 52. At this time, the bill stopper 52 prevents the leading end of the bill BL from hanging downward by entering the leading end into the groove portion. At this time, the bill stopper 52 is about to move forward due to collision with the bill BL, but the movement of the bill stopper 52 is suppressed due to the contraction of the spring. Thus, the bill stopper 52 absorbs the impact of the collision of the leading end of the bill taken in from the discharge portion 24, and can prevent damage to the bill BL while suppressing the bill BL from rebounding strongly.

When the banknote BL is taken out from the 1 st dispensing unit 4a, the user opens the shutter 30. Thereby, the bill stopper 52 is retracted from the path of pulling out the bill BL together with the shutter 30. The user grasps the bill BL from the accumulating space 40 and pulls out toward the front side. In this way, the 1 st dispensing section 4a restricts the withdrawal of the banknotes BL accumulated in the accumulation space 40 by the shutter 30 in the state where the shutter 30 is closed during the dispensing operation, and prevents the banknotes BL from being ejected to the outside, while the banknote stopper 52 rotates together with the shutter 30 and retreats from the withdrawal path of the banknotes BL in the state where the shutter 30 is opened when the banknotes BL are withdrawn, and therefore, the banknotes BL can be easily withdrawn.

[1-3. deposit counting treatment ]

In the deposit transaction, the user selects the deposit transaction through the operation unit 6, and when the banknotes are inserted into the deposit unit 3, the banknote processing apparatus 1 starts the deposit counting process, and the inserted banknotes are fed out one by one from the deposit unit 3 and conveyed to the discriminating unit 10. Here, the banknote processing apparatus 1 conveys banknotes determined to be normal by the differentiating section 10 to the temporary holding section 11 to temporarily store them as indicated by a solid line in fig. 11. On the other hand, the banknote processing machine 1 conveys and deposits the banknotes of the deposit rejection determined to be unsuitable for deposit to the 2 nd dispensing unit 4b and returns the banknotes to the user as indicated by the broken line in fig. 11. As shown in fig. 4, 5, 6, and 7, since the shutter 30 is not present in the 2 nd dispensing unit 4b, the user can easily take out the returned banknotes. As shown in fig. 12, the user can insert the banknotes removed from the 2 nd dispensing unit 4b into the depositing unit 3 again. The banknotes that have been reinserted are fed out again from the deposit section 3, transported to the temporary holding section 11 when the banknotes are discriminated as being acceptable for deposit, and transported again to the 2 nd dispensing section 4b when the banknotes are discriminated as being rejected for deposit. When the number of times of the return is set to the 2 nd dispensing unit 4b, the banknote handling apparatus 1 prompts the user to perform storage determination for stopping the reinsertion and ending the deposit counting process, and to proceed to a deposit storage process described later. In this way, the banknote handling apparatus 1 can return the deposit reject banknote to the user in the deposit counting process and can place the deposit reject banknote in the deposit section 3 again in the deposit counting process before the banknote handling apparatus moves to the deposit housing process.

[1-4. deposit storage processing ]

After the user specifies the deposit amount, the banknote processing device 1 starts the deposit storage process and conveys the banknotes stored in the temporary holding section 11 to the differentiating section 10. Here, the banknote processing device 1 conveys the receivable banknotes determined to be normal by the differentiating section 10 to the respective banknote storage containers 12a to 12e for the denomination thereof and stores them as indicated by solid lines in fig. 13. On the other hand, the banknote processing machine 1 transports and stores the storage reject banknotes determined to be unsuitable for storage to the reject container 13 as indicated by the broken lines in fig. 13.

[1-5. withdrawal treatment ]

in the dispensing transaction, the banknote processing device 1 starts the dispensing process, and when the user selects the dispensing transaction via the operation unit 6 and inputs the dispensing amount, the number of banknotes of each denomination necessary is recognized in accordance with the requested amount, and the banknotes are fed out one by one from each of the banknote storage containers 12a to 12e in accordance with the number of banknotes of each denomination, and conveyed to the differentiating unit 10. Here, the banknote processing apparatus 1 conveys and accumulates banknotes that can be dispensed, which are determined to be normal by the differentiating section 10, to the dispensing section 4 (the 1 st dispensing section 4a or the 2 nd dispensing section 4b) as indicated by a solid line in fig. 14. On the other hand, the banknote processing machine 1 transports and stores the dispensing reject banknotes determined to be unfit for dispensing to the reject container 13 as indicated by the broken lines in fig. 14. At this time, the banknote handling device 1 accumulates the payable banknotes in the 2 nd dispensing unit 4b, and when the full capacity accumulated in the 2 nd dispensing unit 4b becomes full, switches the dispensing destination and accumulates the payable banknotes in the 1 st dispensing unit 4 a. After that, the banknote handling apparatus 1 allows the user to take out banknotes from the 2 nd dispensing unit 4b, and when the 1 st dispensing unit 4a is full, switches the dispensing destination and deposits the dispensable banknotes in the 2 nd dispensing unit 4 b. Thereafter, the banknote handling apparatus 1 opens the shutter 30 of the 1 st dispensing unit 4a to allow the user to dispense banknotes, and when the 2 nd dispensing unit 4b is full, the dispensing destination is switched to collect the dispensable banknotes in the 1 st dispensing unit 4 a. In this way, when a large number of banknotes are to be dispensed, the banknote processing device 1 dispenses banknotes of a requested amount of money while switching the destination between the 2 nd dispensing unit 4b and the 1 st dispensing unit 4 a.

[1-6. Effect, etc. ]

The reason why the banknote is determined as the deposit reject banknote is more often a reason for being deviated from the normal position during conveyance than a reason for being damaged, for example, and in such a case, if the banknote determined as the deposit reject banknote is again discriminated by the discriminating unit 10, the deposit-enabled banknote is likely to be obtained. Therefore, in the banknote handling apparatus 1, it is preferable that the deposit reject banknotes can be inserted again into the deposit unit 3 in the deposit counting process.

In contrast, in the banknote processing device 1, the shutter 30 as in the 1 st dispensing unit 4a is not provided in the 2 nd dispensing unit 4 b. Therefore, when the banknote handling apparatus 1 accumulates the deposit reject banknotes in the accumulation space 40 of the 2 nd dispensing unit 4b, the path for taking out the deposit reject banknotes from the accumulation space 40 can be made free of the shutter that restricts the taking out of the deposit reject banknotes accumulated in the accumulation space 40. Thus, the banknote handling apparatus 1 enables the user to pull out the deposit reject banknotes from the 2 nd dispensing unit 4b and to drop the same into the depositing unit 3 again before the user specifies the storage in the deposit counting process. Thus, the banknote handling device 1 can shorten the time until all banknotes desired to be put in by the user are stored, and improve operability.

According to the above configuration, the banknote processing device 1 is provided with: a deposit unit 3 into which banknotes BL are inserted; a plurality of dispensing units 4 that discharge banknotes BL; and a discriminating unit 10 that discriminates the banknotes BL conveyed from the depositing unit 3, wherein the 1 st dispensing unit 4a of the plurality of dispensing units 4 includes: a discharge unit 24 for discharging the banknotes BL to the accumulation space 40 of the 1 st dispensing unit 4 a; a bill stopper 52 which comes into contact with the bill BL discharged from the discharge portion 24, leaving the bill BL in the accumulating space 40; and a shutter 30 that restricts the withdrawal of the banknotes BL accumulated in the accumulation space 40, wherein the 2 nd dispensing unit 4b of the plurality of dispensing units is a dispensing unit that accumulates the banknotes BL that are conveyed from the depositing unit 3 and discriminated as the deposit reject banknotes as the abnormal banknotes by the discriminating unit 10, and the 2 nd dispensing unit 4b includes: a discharge unit 24 for discharging the deposit reject banknotes to the accumulation space 40 of the 2 nd dispensing unit 4 b; and a bill stopper 44 which comes into contact with the deposit reject bill discharged by the discharge portion 24, leaving the deposit reject bill in the accumulating space 40. Thus, the banknote handling apparatus 1 allows the user to pull out the deposit reject banknote from the 2 nd dispensing unit 4b, in which the shutter is not provided, and to place the deposit reject banknote in the depositing unit 3 again in the deposit counting process.

[2 ] embodiment 2 ]

[2-1. Structure of banknote handling apparatus ]

As shown in fig. 1A and 1B, the banknote processing apparatus 101 according to embodiment 2 is configured in the same manner as the banknote processing apparatus 1 according to embodiment 1 except that a dispensing unit 104 is provided instead of the dispensing unit 4.

[2-2. Structure of dispensing part ]

As shown in fig. 15 in which the same reference numerals are assigned to components corresponding to fig. 2, the dispensing unit 104 according to embodiment 2 is configured similarly to the dispensing unit 4 according to embodiment 1 except that a 2 nd dispensing unit 104b is provided instead of the 2 nd dispensing unit 4 b. The 2 nd dispensing unit 104b according to embodiment 2 omits the impeller 50 compared to the 2 nd dispensing unit 4b according to embodiment 1.

[2-3. deposit reject banknote accumulation Process ]

Here, an operation when 2 sheets of the deposit reject banknotes are stacked in the 2 nd dispensing unit 104b will be described. As shown in fig. 16, the banknote handling apparatus 101 feeds out the banknotes deposited one by one from the depositing section 3, and the differentiating section 10 detects a preceding deposit reject banknote BLr1, which is a first deposit reject banknote and is a preceding abnormal banknote. Next, the banknote processing device 101 detects a succeeding-line deposit reject banknote BLr2 as a succeeding-line abnormal banknote, which is a second deposit reject banknote following the preceding deposit reject banknote BLr1, in the banknote classification section 10. Thereafter, as shown in fig. 17, the banknote handling apparatus 101 conveys the preceding input reject banknote BLr1 to the 2 nd dispensing unit 104b, and discharges the banknote to the accumulation space 40.

Thereafter, the banknote processing apparatus 101 stops the conveyance of all banknotes in the banknote processing apparatus 101, and as shown in fig. 18, the preceding input reject banknote BLr1 is detected by a predetermined sensor in the 2 nd dispensing unit 104b as to whether it freely falls to a position where it does not collide with the following banknote even if the following banknote is discharged, and conveyance of the banknote is awaited until the sensor detects the preceding input reject banknote BLr 1. At this time, the banknotes that can be deposited earlier than the preceding deposit reject banknote BLr1 are temporarily stored in the temporary holding section 11. Thereafter, as shown in fig. 19, the banknote handling apparatus 101 starts again the conveyance of all the banknotes in the banknote handling apparatus 101, and as shown in fig. 20, the succeeding input reject banknote BLr2 is conveyed to the 2 nd dispensing unit 104b and discharged to the accumulation space 40. As shown in fig. 21, the succeeding rejected banknotes BLr2 discharged to the accumulation space 40 freely fall in the 2 nd dispensing unit 104b and are accumulated on the preceding rejected banknotes BLr 1. Thereafter, the banknote handling apparatus 101 conveys the banknotes deposited later than the deposit reject banknote BLr2 to the temporary holding section 11 and temporarily stores the banknotes.

In this way, when the following deposit reject banknote is present, the banknote processing apparatus 101 discharges the preceding deposit reject banknote to the accumulation space 40 of the 2 nd dispensing unit 104b, waits until the preceding deposit reject banknote freely falls to a position where it does not collide with the following deposit reject banknote, and then discharges the following deposit reject banknote to the accumulation space 40 of the 2 nd dispensing unit 104 b. When there is a subsequent deposit reject banknote after the subsequent deposit reject banknote, the banknote processing apparatus 101 repeats the same process.

[2-4. Effect, etc. ]

the 2 nd dispensing unit 4b according to embodiment 1 is not provided with the shutter 30, and therefore, it is easy to take out the deposit reject banknotes, but when the banknotes are accumulated, the operating sound of the impeller 50 leaks to the outside without being shielded by the shutter 30, and becomes noise.

In contrast, the 2 nd dispensing unit 104b deletes the impeller 50. Therefore, the 2 nd dispensing unit 104b can cancel the sound emitted from the impeller 50 and can mute the operation sound. Thus, the 2 nd dispensing unit 104b can keep the same degree of difficulty in taking out the deposit reject banknotes as the 2 nd dispensing unit 4b, and can mute the operation sound.

However, since the 2 nd dispensing unit 104b does not have the impeller 50, the rear end portion of the bill BL discharged to the accumulating space 40 cannot be knocked down. Therefore, when the 2 nd dispensing unit 104b continuously discharges 2 or more sheets of the deposit reject banknotes, there is a possibility that the succeeding deposit reject banknote BLr2 collides with the preceding deposit reject banknote BLr 1.

On the other hand, after the preceding deposit reject banknote BLr1 is discharged to the 2 nd dispensing unit 104b, the banknote processing apparatus 101 freely drops the preceding deposit reject banknote BLr1, waits until the banknote reaches a position where the discharged following deposit reject banknote BLr2 does not collide, and then discharges the following deposit reject banknote BLr2 to the 2 nd dispensing unit 104 b. Thus, the banknote processing apparatus 101 can prevent the backward deposit reject banknote BLr2 from colliding with the forward deposit reject banknote BLr 1. In this case, the time for accumulating the deposit reject banknotes in the 2 nd dispensing unit 104b is more than the time for waiting for conveyance in the banknote handling apparatus 1, but the possibility of frequent occurrence of the deposit reject banknotes is low, and if it is normal, the deposit reject banknotes are not accumulated in the 2 nd dispensing unit 104b in a large amount, and therefore, the possibility of application problems is low.

Otherwise, the banknote handling apparatus 101 according to embodiment 2 can obtain almost the same operational advantages as the banknote handling apparatus 1 according to embodiment 1.

[3 ] embodiment 3 ]

[3-1. Structure of banknote handling apparatus ]

As shown in fig. 1A and 1B, the banknote processing apparatus 201 according to embodiment 3 is configured in the same manner as the banknote processing apparatus 1 according to embodiment 1 except that a dispensing unit 204 is provided instead of the dispensing unit 4.

[3-2. Structure of dispensing part ]

As shown in fig. 22 and 23 in which the same reference numerals are given to the components corresponding to fig. 2 and 3, the dispensing unit 204 of embodiment 3 is configured similarly to the dispensing unit 4 of embodiment 1 except that a 1 st dispensing unit 204a is provided instead of the 1 st dispensing unit 4a and a 2 nd dispensing unit 204b is provided instead of the 2 nd dispensing unit 4 b.

The 1 st dispensing unit 204a and the 2 nd dispensing unit 204b have the same configuration, and therefore, the 2 nd dispensing unit 204b will be described below. The 2 nd dispensing unit 204b is configured by adding the shutter 30 to the 2 nd dispensing unit 4 b. The shutter 30 has a curved upper surface and is configured to be pivotable about a pivot shaft provided in the upper guide 32. Further, the bill stopper 44 is provided not to the shutter 30 but to the upper guide 32. Therefore, the shutter 30 can be independently movable with respect to the bill stopper 44. Thus, the dispensing unit 204 shifts to the following state: a bill accumulation state, that is, a shutter closed state of closing the discharge port 9 as shown in fig. 22, for accumulating the bills BL on the table 38; and a bill take-out state in which the shutter of the discharge port 9 is opened as shown in fig. 23, and the bill BL is taken out from the accumulating space 40.

[3-3. deposit counting treatment ]

in the deposit transaction, when the user selects the deposit transaction through the operation unit 6, the banknote handling apparatus 201 shifts from the banknote accumulation state (fig. 22) to the banknote withdrawal state (fig. 23). When banknotes BL are inserted into the deposit section 3, the banknote processing device 201 starts a deposit counting process, feeds out the inserted banknotes BL one by one from the deposit section 3, conveys them to the differentiating section 10, conveys the banknotes that can be inserted into the temporary holding section 11, conveys and accumulates the deposit reject banknotes in the deposit section 204 (the 1 st deposit section 204a or the 2 nd deposit section 204b), and withdraws them to the user. Since the dispensing unit 4 is in the shutter open state as shown in fig. 23, the user can easily take out the returned banknotes BL. The user can put the taken out banknotes into the deposit unit 3 again. The reinserted banknotes BL are fed out again from the deposit section 3, conveyed to the temporary holding section 11 when the banknotes BL are discriminated as deposit-enabled banknotes, and conveyed again to the 2 nd dispensing section 204b when the banknotes BL are discriminated as deposit-rejected banknotes. After that, the banknote handling apparatus 201 performs the deposit storage process described above.

[3-4. withdrawal treatment ]

In the dispensing transaction, when the user selects the dispensing transaction through the operation unit 6 and inputs the amount of dispensed money, the banknote processing device 201 shifts from the banknote dispensing state (fig. 23) to the banknote accumulating state (fig. 22). After that, the banknote handling apparatus 201 performs the above-described dispensing process.

[3-5. Effect, etc. ]

Since the banknote handling machine 1 according to embodiment 1 does not have a shutter in the 2 nd dispensing unit 4b, if a large amount of banknotes BL are to be dispensed and the banknotes BL are about to reach the banknote stopper 44 forward, the banknotes BL may be ejected from the 2 nd dispensing unit 4b to the outside, and the accumulation performance cannot be maintained.

On the other hand, the banknote handling apparatus 201 closes the shutter 30 as the 2 nd shutter at the time of the dispensing process, and forms a shutter closed state. Thus, the banknote handling apparatus 201 can prevent the banknotes BL from being ejected from the dispensing section 204 to the outside by the shutter 30, and can maintain the accumulating performance.

Note that the banknote handling apparatus 201 is set to the shutter open state during the deposit counting process. Therefore, the banknote handling apparatus 201 can prevent the shutter 30 from being present in the path for taking out the deposit-rejected banknotes from the accumulation space 40, and the shutter 30 can restrict the taking out of the deposit-rejected banknotes accumulated in the accumulation space 40 when the deposit-rejected banknotes are accumulated in the accumulation space 40 of the dispensing unit 204. Thus, the banknote handling apparatus 201 can allow the user to take out the deposit reject banknotes in both the 1 st dispensing unit 204a and the 2 nd dispensing unit 204b without being obstructed by the shutter 30.

In the banknote processing device 201, the 1 st dispensing unit 204a and the 2 nd dispensing unit 204b are configured to be identical to each other. Thus, the banknote handling apparatus 201 can share components in comparison with the case where the 1 st dispensing unit 4a and the 2 nd dispensing unit 4b are configured differently from each other as in the banknote handling apparatus 1.

In this way, the banknote handling apparatus 201 can move the shutter 30 independently of the banknote stopper 44, open the shutter 30 at the time of deposit, and close the shutter 30 at the time of withdrawal. Thus, the banknote handling device 201 can easily remove the deposit reject banknote at the time of deposit and can leave the dispensing banknote in the dispensing unit 204 even when the number of dispensing banknotes is large at the time of dispensing, in both the 1 st dispensing unit 204a and the 2 nd dispensing unit 204 b.

Otherwise, the banknote handling apparatus 201 according to embodiment 3 can obtain almost the same operational advantages as the banknote handling apparatus 1 according to embodiment 1.
