Definitions

  • the invention relates to an automatic cash dispenser according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • No. 4,833,183 has already proposed an automatic cash dispenser with a housing in which an input / output compartment, which can be closed by a flap, is formed with a shelf forming a first storage surface for bank notes and a rear wall.
  • a separating device for separating and removing banknotes lying on the first depositing surface is located below the first depositing surface.
  • Above the shelf and essentially parallel to it is an intermediate shelf, which can be adjusted by means of an actuator between a first position, in which it projects into the input / output compartment and forms a second storage surface for banknotes, and a second position, in which it is located outside the input / output compartment.
  • a depositing device is also provided for depositing banknotes on the shelf or the intermediate shelf.
  • the intermediate floor In the banknote delivery mode, the intermediate floor is moved to the upper boundary wall of the input / output compartment, so that the banknotes to be issued are placed on the shelf. It is also possible to recover forgotten banknotes individually.
  • the intermediate floor In the banknote input mode, the intermediate floor is moved into its first position lying above the stack of banknotes to be drawn in. Banknotes not accepted by the machine are deposited on the intermediate floor by the depositing device.
  • the invention is based on the object of specifying a cash dispenser with a combined cash dispenser, in which input and output banknotes can be kept separately and banknotes held separately can be combined.
  • Banknotes deposited by the customer are subjected to various checks after being removed by the separating device. Unacceptable banknotes will be returned to the customer. In this case, it is expedient if these notes can not only be stored temporarily, but can be issued again immediately after they have passed through the test facilities.
  • the intermediate floor by means of of another actuator is adjustable perpendicular to the shelf.
  • the intermediate floor can be gradually lowered to match the banknotes placed on it, so that the storage surface for the next banknote to be deposited always remains at the same distance from the depositing device.
  • the intermediate shelf can be lowered so that the bundle of banknotes does not fall onto the shelf from too high a height when the intermediate shelf is pulled back.
  • the intermediate floor can carry out the movements described above, it is expedient if it is formed by fingers which are parallel and spaced apart from one another, which penetrate openings formed in the rear wall and are moved into and out of the compartment by means of the first actuator can be.
  • fingers which are parallel and spaced apart from one another, which penetrate openings formed in the rear wall and are moved into and out of the compartment by means of the first actuator can be.
  • a pressure element which is adjustable perpendicularly to the shelf is expediently arranged between the intermediate shelf and the shelf. This presses the banknotes against the shelf and thus also ensures good contact with the withdrawal elements of the separating device.
  • the pressure element can be adjusted according to the decreasing height of the stack of banknotes.
  • the pressure element is also expediently formed by pressure fingers which are directed parallel to the fingers of the intermediate floor and are adjustable together with these by the first actuator.
  • the fingers forming the intermediate floor and the pressure fingers are each adjustably arranged on a common carrier, which in turn is adjustable by the first actuator.
  • the separating device is preferably connected via a first transport path to a bank note switch, which is connected via a second, third and fourth transport path to the depositing device, an intermediate store or a safe of the automatic cash dispenser comprising at least one bank note store.
  • a banknote checking device arranged in the path of the first transport path, directly to the depositing device and temporarily storing banknotes which have passed the check until the input process has been properly completed . Only then are the entered banknotes fed to the banknote store in the safe.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic vertical partial section through an automated teller machine according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows a schematic, perspective illustration of a support frame for the intermediate floor and the pressure element
  • Fig. 3 shows a cross section through a finger of the intermediate floor and a pressure finger
  • Fig. 4 is a schematic view of the compartment rear wall.
  • the cash dispenser shown schematically in FIG. 1 has a housing 10 which encloses in its lower section a safe 12 and in its upper section a banknote input / dispenser unit generally designated 14.
  • Banknote storage devices (not shown in more detail), for example schematically indicated storage cassettes 16 and a winding storage device 18, are arranged in the safe 12.
  • the banknote stores 16, 18 are connected to a common transport path 20 which transports the banknotes through an opening 22 in the top surface of the safe 12.
  • the actual input / output unit for banknotes comprises an input / output compartment, generally designated 24, with a shelf 26 and a rear wall 28.
  • the compartment is accessible from the outside through an opening 30 in the front wall 32 of the housing.
  • the opening 30 can be closed by a flap or door 34 which is adjustable between the closed position shown by solid lines in FIG. 1 and the open position shown by dashed lines.
  • a separating and extraction device 36 is arranged below the shelf 26 and is known per se and need not be explained in more detail. It serves to individually pull down the banknotes of a bundle of banknotes 38 lying on the shelf 26 and to feed them to a transport path 40 which transports the banknotes past at least one checking device 42 to a switch 44. This switch 44 optionally establishes the connection between all the transport tracks adjacent to it.
  • a third transport path 46 which leads to a winding storage 48 serving as a buffer leads, and a fourth transport path 50, which leads to a depositing device in the form of a stacking wheel 52.
  • the stacking wheel 52 is arranged at the upper end of the rear wall 28 in such a way that the three individual wheels of the stacking wheel 52 shown in FIG. 4 engage with their radial lamellae in cutouts 54 in the rear wall 28.
  • the stacking wheel 52 serves to deposit the banknotes to be issued, which are fed to it via the transport path 50, on an intermediate floor 56, which will now be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the intermediate floor 56 is designed like a comb with a cross bar 58 and individual fingers 60 parallel to one another.
  • the cross bar 58 is guided on a frame-shaped support 62 which, viewed from the compartment opening 30, is arranged behind the rear wall 28.
  • the fingers 60 of the intermediate floor 56 penetrate slots 64 which are formed in the rear wall 28 (FIG. 4).
  • the intermediate floor 56 can be adjusted up and down in the direction of the double arrow A in FIGS.
  • the support frame 62 as a whole is also mounted in a manner not shown in such a way that it can be moved back and forth in the direction of the arrow B in FIG illustrated first position and a second position can be adjusted in which they are completely withdrawn from the compartment 24.
  • a pressure element 74 is arranged on the support frame 62, which, like the intermediate floor 56, is designed like a comb with a cross member 76 and fingers 78.
  • the pressure element 74 can be adjusted in the direction of the double arrow A with the aid of an electric motor 80, which meshes via an output pinion 82 with a rack 84 fastened to the cross member 76.
  • the pressure element 74 serves to compress a stack of banknotes 38 lying on the shelf 26 in such a way that the bottom banknote of the stack 38 is always in good frictional engagement with the take-off rollers of the separating device 36.
  • the fingers 60 of the intermediate base 56 are designed in the form of a U-profile which is open at the bottom and into which a pressure finger 78 can be inserted, as is indicated in FIG. 3 by dashed lines.
  • the customer If the compartment 24 is opened by adjusting the flap 34, the customer only sees the shelf 26 and the rear wall 28. To deposit, the customer can place a bundle of banknotes 38 on the shelf 26. If the transaction is started by the customer closing the flap 34, the notes of the bundle 38 are withdrawn individually via the separating device 36 and transferred to the transport track 40. This leads them past the test device 42. "Real" notes that are found to be good are fed via the switch 44 to the buffer store 48. Unaccepted, e.g. Notes that are not “real” are deflected via the switch 44 to the fourth transport path 50, which feeds them to the stacking wheel 52.
  • the fingers 60 of the intermediate floor 56 were adjusted by adjusting the support frame 62 in the tray 24 retracted. Furthermore, the intermediate floor 56 was moved upwards in the vicinity of the stacking wheel 52, so that the bank notes rejected during the check can now be safely deposited on the intermediate floor 56. The notes to be returned are then stacked on the fingers 60, the intermediate base 56 being moved downward as the number of notes increases. At the same time, the bundle 38 inserted is further separated. Furthermore, the pressure fingers 78 are readjusted in accordance with the removal of the bundle 38, so that a pressure which ensures reliable deduction is exerted on the bundle of notes.
  • the unaccepted money can be returned to the customer.
  • the pressure fingers 78 and the fingers 60 of the intermediate base 56 are moved into one another (FIG. 3) and, together with the deposited bundle of money, are moved downward in the direction of the shelf 26.
  • the fingers 78 and 60 are withdrawn from the compartment 24 by adjusting the support frame 62, so that the bundle of banknotes lying thereon is stripped off the rear wall 28.
  • the flap 34 is opened and the customer can withdraw the unaccepted money at the same place where he deposited the money to be paid in.
  • the pure output of bank notes takes place, which were taken from the stores 16 or 18 and fed to the stacking wheel 52 via the transport tracks 20 and 50.
  • the flap 34 is closed and the money is separated in the same manner as that described above for the bundle of banknotes 38 inserted above.
  • the recovered banknotes are then stored in a special compartment. It is conceivable that problems with the separation occur when the banknotes are withdrawn or that the customer cancels the transaction, but now rejected banknotes lie on the intermediate floor 56.
  • the intermediate floor is moved together with the bank notes lying thereon in the direction of the bank note bundle 38 still lying on the shelf 26.
  • the fingers of the intermediate base 56 are then pulled back together with the pressure fingers 78 behind the rear wall 28, so that the rejected banknotes are deposited on the partial bundle still in the compartment. After opening the flap 34, the customer can then take back the entire bundle.
