Definitions
- the following invention comprises an automatic banknote handling system, which is specially for use in agencies of banking entities, wherein money withdrawals and deposits are current operations, in such a way that by means of the system integrated into the corresponding machine which is proposed, the counting up of the money, the checking of its authenticity, its compilation in relation to the value of the banknotes, its provisional storage and the removal of banknotes according to the amount desired by the operator, as well as its definitive storage are carried out automatically.
- the banknote handling system has incorporated some improvements which are essentially based on the provisional storage drum of the banknotes, the banknotes being able of being removed, and on the device which removes them, according to the amount ordered.
- system may be used as a banknote dispenser means, for which purpose the system will be lack of the banknotes counting, authentification and classification means, the system being basically formed by the storage drum and the removing device.
- the system does only need one removal and counting mechanism, mounted on the movable cart, with the economic savings which this represents, and furthermore, in this case the storage drum reduces the size as it only comprises the corresponding banknotes holding clamp.
- the separation platforms which define the different compartments of the drum operate as the base of the corresponding compartments, presenting a pair of radial cuttings which enable the passage of the banknotes removal wheels so as to be positioned under them and pull them up to the counting and conveying mechanism towards the receiving casing, so that once the banknotes related to the corresponding compartment are removed, the cart moves back enabling again the rotation of the drum for a new positioning in which the cart will be moved so as to be able to remove banknotes once again, as it has been pointed out.
- the automatic banknote handling system which is presented, has a preferred application in agencies of banking entities, being used to carry out the deposit operations and withdrawal of money automatically, avoiding the manual intervention, which means avoiding the human errors produced in a greater or lesser extent both when counting the money as well as when checking the authenticity thereof.
- the cashiers with the purpose of counting the money which is to be deposited or withdrawn, the first thing he must do is to separe the banknotes according to the values thereof so as to count, afterwards, the banknotes of each one of the values, finally adding up the different partial amounts so as to find out the total amount.
- the banknotes deposited on the upper mouth in no special order are conveyed to the intermediate mouth at the view of the client himself who makes the deposit, by means of four wheels which convey them unitarily to a wheel provided of a set of arched projections on its side surface, which deposits while rotating the counted banknotes, after checking that they are authentic, upon a stop of the intermediary mouth accesible from the outside by the operator.
- the system detects any false banknote or any banknote not recognizable by the system, the operation is stopped and the operator may check its cause, the system not counting the false or not recognizable banknote and in this way, if the amount counted by the system does not correspond with the one noted by the client, all of the banknotes which have been in his presence may be picked up by the operator from the intermediary mouth so as to check the dephasing which has been produced.
- Means for the gathering the banknotes according to the value of the same are defined by a quartet of wheels which convey the banknotes unitarily from the provisional housing in which they are located towards a wheel provided with a set of arched projections in entire its surface, in such a way that due to the fact that the system knows in all moment where and how the banknotes are disposed, the same deposits upon a stop all of those consecutive banknotes with the same value, at the same time that the drum which acts as a provisional storage is positioned so that the suitable compartment is disposed for the reception of the gathered money.
- the operator can write on keyboard the said order so that the desired compartment or compartments are totally or parcially emptied.
- the system itself may be the one which carries out the operation of partial or total emptied of some of the machine compartments, at the moment it detects that there is an excessivee amount of banknotes thereon.
- the system incorporates some improvements which are relative to the provisional storage means of the banknotes according to the values thereof, to the banknotes removal means to carry out withdrawals, to the means of positioning for collection of the removed banknotes by the operator and being able of being adapted as a banknotes dispenser for which purpose it incorporates means for the direct introduction of the banknotes towards the provisional storage, in which case the machine lacks the banknotes counting, authentification and clasification means.
- the cart is moved trough the guides towards the drum, penetrating through the radial cuttings of the base platform, which keeps apart the compartments and upon which the banknotes are seated, a pair of wheels for removing the banknotes which when rotating make the banknotes move towards two banknote unfoliation and counting pair of wheels which, the banknotes are conveyed one by one between some facing straps disposed between pulley pairs, towards the casing of withdrawal by the operator.
- the movable cart which removes the banknotes from the drum compartment, presents a pair of banknotes removing wheels, the pair of banknotes unfoliation and counting wheels and a pair of facing wheels which convey the banknotes towards a pair of wheels provided with a multitude of projections which form corresponding receptacles in which the banknotes are to be disposed so as to be conveyed to the withdrawal casing upon the rotation of the mentioned wheel.
- the movable cart moves back liberating the drum so that it can rotate to a new position, since the bearing structure of the pair of banknotes removal wheels is retracted with regard to the drum.
- the system incorporates a single banknotes remover, which enables having a smaller drum and with more compartments, reducing considerably the economic cost at the same time it increases its reliability by the drastic reduction of the remover elements.
- the machine l which embodies the banknote handling system, has on its topside the deposit mouth 2 of the banknotes which are to be handled, and close to it, the intermediary mouth 3 in which the banknotes are bearing upon the stop 4, being able to be removed from the intermediary mouth by the operator before the banknotes pass to the inside of the machine, in the case there is not an exact coincidence between the amount determined by the client to be deposited and the amount counted by the system, or in the case of detecting a false or not recognizable banknote.
- the money may be recovered before it passes to the inside of the machine, without any doubt about what has been performed before the client, since he has all the time the money in view, as well as the display in which the amount which has been counted appears.
- the banknotes deposited upon upper mouth 2 of machine 1 are conveyed by the quartet of wheels 5 towards wheel 6 of a bigger diameter, provided in relation to its entire side surface with a series of arched projections, between which each one of the banknotes are independently positioned, in such a way that in the said conveyance the value and the relative position of each one of the banknotes, as well as if they are authentis, are detected.
- the electromagnet 7 is actuated, the stop 6 being moved through the frame groove 8, sliding the banknotes to the housing 9 from which they are in a unitary form collected by identical order to the order of input by the quartet of wheels 10 which dispose them unitarilly upon the housing defined by the arched projections of the side surface of the rotatory wheel 11, from which they are positioned upon the stop 12 gathering those which have the same value, so that once the different consecutive banknotes of the same value are gathered, the electromagnet 13, which moves the stop 12 by rotation, is activated and enables the drop of the gathered banknotes of the same value on the corresponding compartment 14 of the drum 15 which is rotatory with regard to the shaft 29.
- the drum 15 rotates so as to position the compartment 14 relative to the banknote or banknotes gathered on the stop 12, reducing the handling time.
- the electomagnets 16 stay in ortogonal position towards the side base of the compartment, its plunger attacking directly upon the connecting rods 19 in such a way that the said electromagnets 16 act the one or the other one, according to the direction of rotation of the drum, upon each one of the connecting rods arms 19, always causing the raising of the lever which carries the corresponding clamp 18.
- Another important advantage presented by the automatic banknote handling system is based on the fact that the operator may apply for the amount of money desired for its withdrawal, in such a way that they may be removed according to the banknotes combination desired by the operator, or it may be made easy in an random way by the same machine, for what the amount of money is finally removed through the corresponding side mouth 21 of the machine 1.
- the machine 1 may be handled by two operators, in such a way that it is controling all the time the handling of each one of them so as to be activated at the appropriated way, each operator gaining access to one of the side mouths 21.
- each one of the compartments 14 of the drum 15 comprises a wheel upon which the banknotes bundles are deposited and a pair of facing wheels on the output of each one of the compartments, in such a way that the said wheels trio 22 niete on removing thebanknotes from each one of the comparments 14, the pass of each one of the banknotes being perfectly controled.
- the banknotes removed from the corresponding compartments 14 are conveyed towards a wheel 23, provided with arched projections in the some way as the described wheels 5 and 11, between which respective banknotes are housed, in such a way that the banknotes are used to carry out a withdrawal since they are disposed on the housing 24 to which is gained access through the side mouths 21 of the machine 1.
- the operation may be controlled by the operator, by introducing the desired data, wherefore the electromagnet 25 is activated and the banknotes removed from the corresponding compartment 14 towards the wheel 23, are deviated towards the lower deposit 26, since the movement of the electromagnet 25 has moved the receptacle 24 leaving free way to the banknotes for their falling by gravity towards the definitive deposit 26.
- This same operation may be automatically performed by the machine itself when one of the compartments has a certain amount of money stored in it.
- the machine includes the engine 27 which activates the drum 15 on its positioning, being able to rotate in both directions to reduce the positioning times, and the engine 28 which activates the wheel 23 form removing and storage in the lower deposit 26, as well as the corresponding controller, keyboard and display for the information presentation.
- the engine 28 houses on its shaft a rubber wheel, which by friction activates another similar wheel housed on the shaft of the pulling wheels 22. This friction causes the rotation of the said shaft in its banknotes removing function from the compartment 14.
- banknote handling system Since the banknote handling system is totally automatic, it presents a total reliability in all the performed operations, because the operator's manual control is obviated.
- the described system is able of presenting a multitude of embodiment variants, which basically refer to the banknotes provisional storage drum and to the banknotes removing mechanism from the drum, with the possibility of using the machine 1 as a simple banknotes dispenser, by eliminating the counting, authentification and clasification banknotes mechanisms and incorporating a deposit mouth of the banknotes to be introduced, previously counted by the operator, which will be stored in the corresponding drum compartment.
- the machine 1 incorporating the automatic banknotes handling system presents a drum 30 in which a series of compartments 31 are defined, by means of some platforms which form the compartments and which act as a seat base of the banknotes, which present an inside strip 32, in ortogonal position to the base, of stop of the banknotes for avoiding displacement towards the inside part, and which are secured by respective clamps 33 which are activated at the moment when the corresponding compartment 31 is positioned for the introduction of the banknotes, being rotated, and releasing the banknotes from the pressure it exerts upon them.
- drum 30 is able of incorporating in relation to each one of its compartments 31, respective strips 34 related to its outside side of the base, which acts as a stop to avoid the fact that the banknotes are able to go out of the compartment in the time interval of performance of the clamp, once the banknotes have been introduced in the compartment.
- the said strip 34 presents a shaft 35 of rotation so that at the moment in which it is depressed, it leaves on the bottom a free space on which the banknotes at their removal are pulled, the strip 34 being activated by the same cart 36 on its advance.
- the compartments 31 of the drum 30 in which the banknotes are stored in accordance to the values thereof lack unitary removing mechanisms of the banknotes, and they only incorporate the strip 32 in the stop ortogonal position of the banknotes, the holding clamp 33 and the external stop strip 34, in such a way that the removal of the banknotes of all the drum compartments 31 is carried out by means of a single removal mechanism mounted on a chart 36 which may be moved by some lower guides.
- the movable cart 36 presents on its front part a carrier structure of a pair of rotatory wheels 37 which, on the advance of the cart 36 towards the drum 30 so as to carry out the removal of the corresponding banknotes 38, remain in relation to the respective cuttings 37 of the platform base of the compartment from which the money removal is to be performed, so as to stay under the banknotes, and upon rotating to move the banknotes towards the wheels pairs 40 to carry out their unfoliation and counting.
- the banknotes removed from the corresponding compartment 31 of the drum 30 and counted when passing through the wheels pairs 40 are conveyed to the receiving casing 41 by the operator by means of a mechanisms of pairs of pulley 42 and 43 joined by small facing straps 13, which when rotating on the opposite directions move the banknotes centrally.
- the cart 36 backs up releasing the drum so that it is able to automatically rotate to a new position, in such a way that at the controlled movement of the cart 36, according to the value of the removed banknotes, the same runs up slightly against the banknotes housed on the withdrawal casing arranging them by making a slight stop upon the access door 45.
- the removing device may be formed by the movable cart 36 which presents the banknotes pulling wheels 37, the pair of wheels 40 of unfoliation and counting and some pair of wheels 46 which convey the banknotes towards a pair of wheels 47 provided with some projections which define the banknotes placing receptacles so that from the same, the banknotes may be conveyed to the casing 48 on the rotation of the wheel.
- the same may be adapted for its application as banknotes dispenser, in which case the whole system related to the checking of the banknotes authenticity, their counting and its clasification, may be eliminated, while the machine incorporates a receptacle 49 for the manual deposit of the banknotes previously counted by the operator, in such a way that while introducing in the machine the data thereof (number of banknotes and their values) the drum 30 will be positioned so that the compartment 31 corresponding to the said value of the banknotes is positioned facing the receptacle 49, passing the banknotes through the trap-door 50 towards the same, by being pulled by the wheels 51.
- the clamp 38 is raised, the banknotes which are being introduced in the compartment being stacked.
- the drum 30 may be mounted upon its fixed rotation shaft in such a way that the said shaft is fixed on one of its ends, enabling the disassembly and assembly of the drum 30 related to its rotation shaft through a side door.
- the drum 30 may be detached and introduced with the money contained in its compartments on the strongbox and afterwards mounting it again, the same door which runs up against it contributing on the holding of the shaft.
