Definitions

  • the invention relates to banknote dispensers, and more particularly their internal devices which are responsible for constituting a stack of notes, representing the amount requested by the user.
  • This stack is then transferred to the user, who can seize it through a system of the lock type.
  • an enclosure or safe which surrounds the entire cash dispenser, and from which the bills exit through a slot.
  • the invention also aims to provide a banknote handling device which is both simple, flexible in its applications, and with the aid of which the value of the banknotes remaining inside the bank can be checked at any time. enclosure safe, as well as those of the tickets that came out.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to allow the realization of a banknote dispenser in which the exit slot of the safe enclosure is as small as possible.
  • the transfer means comprise a toothed belt, which supports at least one controlled clamp, and engages through said slot inside the enclosure.
  • These transfer means can in particular release the stack of tickets in a housing which can be made accessible to the user.
  • said clamp cooperates with a cam fixed at the stacking station, to grip the stack of banknotes.
  • the handling means comprise wheels each comprising a blade for transporting a ticket from the outlet of the cassette to the stacking station, means for checking the ticket during its journey on these paddle wheels, said paddle wheels normally carrying their load at the stacking station, while they may, on command, send it to the return box.
  • the impellers have a common hollow shaft, which houses a translation rod, which is moved to take hold of the bill and allows its release on command at the stacking station or towards the return box.
  • the path to the return box includes a conveyor accessible behind a tilting side wall of the stacking station.
  • this conveyor comprises two conveyor belts in a closed circuit, capable of closing one over the other.
  • the driving of the handling means and of the transfer means is preferably carried out by stepping motors under the control of at least one control unit.
  • the invention also provides that the bill dispensing device comprises several bill manipulators as defined above, the cassettes of which contain banknotes of different face value, the various stacks of banknotes being finally assembled to be presented to the user.
  • the thick dashed line referenced 1 designates an enclosure which forms a safe and encloses a part of the cash dispenser elements.
  • This enclosure 1 here contains a cassette 100 of tickets to be distributed, gripping, ordering and sorting members denoted 120 as a whole, a return box for rejected tickets denoted 180, and a station for stacking conforming notes denoted 190
  • the assembly can be placed under the control of a local control unit 110, which is also housed inside the enclosure 1.
  • the unit 110 communicates with a general control unit 200 which, for its part, is placed outside the enclosure 1.
  • a variant consists in providing a single control unit, internal or external, to the enclosure 1, while retaining an interface for crossing this enclosure.
  • control inside the enclosure 1 targets the number of tickets leaving the cassette, the result of the verification of the ticket at the level of the organs 120, the number of tickets stacked at post 190, and the number of tickets returned to the box 180, in particular.
  • a device 210 transfers the stack of tickets available at post 190 to the user, via the front face 250 of the device. The passage of the tickets takes place at a slot 10 of the enclosure 1.
  • the external control unit 200 controls the transfer of the stack of banknotes to the user by the member 210, as well as the operations conventionally inherent in the distribution of banknotes, using means incorporated in the front face of the banknote. 'device (magnetic card reader, control keyboard, display, etc.).
  • FIG. 2 schematically illustrates a cassette, which consists of a parallelepipedic box 100, in which a presser 101 urges a stack of banknotes 102 towards an outlet orifice.
  • An extraction mechanism by swivel suction arm 104 allows the extraction, in principle one by one, of banknotes such as 103.
  • the banknotes are immediately taken up by two cooperating rollers 105 and 106.
  • the cassette used according to the invention can be of known type or, preferably, of the type described in French patent application No. 83 18 420, in the name of the Applicant.
  • FIG. 3 Between side walls 107 and 108, which house the cassette 100 (not shown here), there are provided a set of shafts which support cooperating members for carrying out the handling of the ticket (we use hereinafter the word "ticket” although it may be a duplicate).
  • the ticket is then supported by a row of paddle wheels, 121, 121A and 121B; mounted on a common shaft 130.
  • This shaft is driven by a roller 131, driven by a stepping motor (not shown) and provided with an exhaust mechanism 132.
  • the rollers 133 to 135 drive the other trees already mentioned.
  • a banknote stacking station 140 Below the paddle wheels 121, and towards the front, there is a banknote stacking station 140. On the side of the paddle wheels 121; the station 140 is delimited by a side wall formed by a comb of teeth 145, which are retractable. The retraction of these teeth opens the passage to a banknote ejection conveyor, one of the elements of which is seen in 170.
  • FIG 3A which is partial, better shows some elements of Figure 3.
  • rollers 105 and 106 We see one of the wheels 121 on the shaft 139, and the two parts 122 and 123 of the 'dawn that includes this wheel.
  • An incoming ticket will be introduced between the two blades 122 and 123 of the dawn, where it is pinched, either by the intrinsic relative elasticity of these two blades or, preferably, by the intervention of auxiliary gripping means that will be described below.
  • the ticket After turning the paddle wheel 121, the ticket will either be placed, to start or continue a stack, at the extension 140, if it has been checked and recognized as compliant, or on the contrary introduced into the reject conveyor, if it has been recognized as non-compliant. It is known in fact that a ticket leaving a cassette such as that described above has in principle the good face value, with which the cassette is associated. On the other hand, this note can be folded either from the origin, or more often, following its extraction from the cassette. The other annoying possibility is that two tickets were checked out at the same time.
  • banknote recognition detectors used so far make it possible to ensure that a banknote is in single thickness; on the other hand, they do not make it possible to distinguish duplicates from banknotes folded over a more or less large part of their surface . It is then conventional to discard a ticket thus recognized as non-compliant. However, up to now, it has not been possible to keep exact accounts of non-compliant tickets.
  • the tickets are checked immediately, at the paddle wheels 121, using means which may be of known type. If the ticket is recognized as being true, it is therefore placed as previously indicated at stacking station 140. Otherwise, it goes to the reject conveyor.
  • This conveyor consists of a lower belt 175, supported by two end rollers 175A and 175B, the axes of which are fixed.
  • the second part of the conveyor consists of a belt 170, supported by end rollers 170A and 170B mounted on an arm 172, secured to a perpendicular rod 171.
  • the rod 172 pivots around the axis 170A roller.
  • the left wall of the stacking station 140 is therefore defined by the tooth comb 145, which is integral with a lower plate 141 which can pivot about an axis located under the bottom of the stacking station 140
  • the wall 145 can retract to pass through the intermediate position 145A and lead to the final position 145B, where it opens the passage of the ticket between the two belts 170 and 175 of the conveyor.
  • the roller 170B then approaches the roller 175B to drive the rejected banknote (s) to the return box 180 (FIG. 1), the shape of which can be chosen as required.
  • FIG. 3B also shows the belt 211, which carries a clamp 220, intended for gripping the stack of banknotes (FIG. 3C), after a desired number of banknotes have been brought to the stacking station 140.
  • the roller 131 can be recognized for driving the paddle wheels 121, 121A and 121B.
  • the 121A paddle wheel is shown in partial section.
  • the shaft 130 of the paddle wheels 121 is hollow, as illustrated in 150. It internally houses a control rod, denoted 151, and capable of being actuated by an end pusher 159. At each of the paddle wheels 121, the rod has a notch 152 in which is housed the foot of a rod 153 provided with a stud 154 which is flush with the periphery of the wheel 121A, and is biased radially inwards by an elastic return defined in 155.
  • the control unit 110 (FIG. 1) jointly actuates the drive stepper motor by rotation of the wheels 121 and the pusher 159 to achieve, after the insertion of the ticket between the two blades 122 and 123 (FIG.
  • FIG. 4B better illustrates certain details which will help understanding of the above: there we see the upper belt 170, the control rod 171, which passes through sleeves such as 171A formed between two pairs of arms 172 which support the rollers ends such as 170A and 170B of the belt 170.
  • FIG. 5A again shows the clamp 220 in the standby position. This position is obtained by cooperation of a lateral lug 240 (FIG. 3C) of this clamp with the surface cam 215.
  • the clamp is therefore here open.
  • FIG. 3C also shows that the clamp 220 is mounted on the belt 211 by its pivoting articulation, against springs 241 on a rider'242 which overlaps the belt transversely. Lateral extensions such as 243 of this rider engage in guide rails such as 245 and 246; when the clamp 220 passes opposite the stacking station 140 (FIG. 3C and 5A); it is during this passage that the clamp opens under the effect of the cam 215.
  • the stack of banknotes When it is released, it will take the stack of banknotes, which has the desired number of banknotes (this number is obtained by counting the number of paddle wheel actuations, for which the banknote has been recognized as compliant).
  • the stack of banknotes can be taken naturally by the clamp 220, or pushed into it. When it escapes the cam surface; the clamp grips the stack of banknotes, and then takes position 220A, to continue its journey with the movement of the belt 211, which is now moved.
  • In 220B is illustrated the position of the clamp when passing through the two walls of the slot 10 of the safe enclosure. Note that the belt 211 is wound on a lower roller 221; and passes over a guide roller 222 to provide a minimum of volume at the level of the passage of the slot 10.
  • the center line TA allows the superimposition of FIGS. 5A and 5B. After this superimposition, it will appear that the stack of banknotes is now out of enclosure 1, to pass over another roller 224, then over roller 225, while the belt closes its circuit by going over a another idler roller 223, located at the same vertical level as the roller 222.
  • the clamp which supports the stack of banknotes, illustrated at 220C will open under the effect of a cam surface 218, which results in the removal of the stack of tickets in a receptacle 255.
  • the movement of the belt T 21i is obtained by means of a stepping motor, which is mounted on one of the rollers of this Note that the slot 10 can be made very narrow, since the stack of notes crosses this slot passing through its short side (transverse to the plane of Figures SA and 5B), the long side of the slot is therefore slightly greater than the small side of tickets.
  • the short side of the slot 10 is only defined by the requirements for the passage of the belt 211, in double thickness, and the maximum thickness of the stack of banknotes which it may be necessary to deliver to the user. .
  • the transfer mechanism of FIGS. 5A and SB is particularly simple, and flexible to apply, since it is easy to subject any toothed belt to any desired path, and to adjust the control of the stepping motor drive accordingly. , at the level of the control unit 200.
  • the banknote handling unit described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4 is also extremely simple, since it adds to the conventional structure only the paddle wheels, the stacking station, its side comb. outlet, and the reject conveyor.
  • This assembly can be housed in a minimum volume at the end of the banknote cassette, which is accompanied by a reasonable size of the safe deposit box 1.
  • the device is also flexible to use, since the internal control unit 110 can easily be adjusted to take account of the particular characteristics of the tickets, as well as of the other factors involved in the distribution of the tickets.
  • the present invention makes it possible to provide, inside the local control unit 110, precise control of the number of tickets remaining in the cassette 100, of the number of tickets delivered (certainly per unit) to outside, to be given to the user, and finally the number of questionable tickets, which return to the return box 180. It is then possible to design a strict accounting of the number of tickets remaining inside the safe, which has many advantages for transaction control.
