Description

CASE RECYCLING SYSTEM RECEIVABLE FOR CASHIER

AND SELF SERVICE OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

Currency recycling device adaptable to ATMs and self-service that aims to facilitate the entry of coins as well as the return of these in the processes that take place in the self-service machines as well as in the cash positions of the Banking Entities.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The field of the invention is the industry sector related to the manufacture of numerical machines and assistive devices for the coin handling industry.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

So far the recycling of coins in self-service machines with coin volumes equal to or greater than 1000 units has taken place through bulky solutions that forced the terminals to be large.

This type of solution is not applicable to

Bank and Savings Bank positions due to its large volume and cost.

Also, the devices known so far

incorporated

five or plus selectors from the

denominations

(size from the coins) in its

inside,

the that meant some gadgets from great

volume

Y complexity of design.

The more denominations the greater the size and complexity the machine had to have.

Both complex and large volume solutions are not feasible in both the self-service machines and the cash points of any bank or service company.

Within the noteworthy background is the US patent 6,128,402 that promotes an automatic legal currency processing system. Specifically, it includes an ATM with various modules including one for sorting and counting coins as well as coin dispensing modules.

Obviously far from what is recommended in this patent

Another background could be the US patent.

4,733,765 which discloses a machine for handling

bills and coins where the conveyors and classifiers for coins and bills are configured in relation to a single cash receiver to receive both coins and bills through an opening and is of great complexity with more than ten engines of different characteristics.

Also very different from the requested invention

The solution advocated by the present invention, allows the handling of multiple denominations (8 or more) in numbers greater than 1000 units in a volume smaller than more than 50% of the known and with an ergonomics suitable for both self-service machines and to the mentioned positions of Caja.

It also allows working sequentially from two independent work points.

The inventor does not know any

anteriority

that incorporate the dispositions that

presents

the current invention, neither the advantages that

entails such provision

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The recommended invention relates to an apparatus for the recycling of coins adaptable to ATMs and self-service characterized by having a single container, general deposit,

where all the coins to be recycled are mixed and where the selection of the coins to be dispensed among all those that are stored identifying their denomination, is made during the preparation for the dispensation.

The present invention is configured as an approximately cubic shaped container in which the following elements are housed:

A general deposit, a container of coins, where the coins received are stored, and whose bottom, is constituted by a transport band, moved by a suitable motor and whose mission is to control a coin elevator to a elevator band, moved by a independent engine and helped in its function by a rolling cylinder and another return cylinder.

The lifting band has highlights so that the coins can move almost

vertical,

Y bill with the help from a groove from

subjection

coins

The lifting band moves the coins deposited by the customer to the rolling ramp where already separated they pass sequentially through a sensor and then pass in front of a diverter solenoid that sends the recognized coins to a temporary deposit.

Unrecognized currencies continue their movement towards the rejection window, from where through the rejection channel they are returned to the user of the equipment in the delivery tray.

The coordination of the different sequences as well as the control of the actuators of the various mechanisms is carried out by means of the electronic control card.

The device has two main functions, as a coin deposit and as a coin dispenser.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is configured as a container (1) approximately cubic in which the following elements are housed:

A general deposit, coin container (24), where the coins received are stored, and whose fund is constituted by a transport band

(8), driven by an engine (7) And whose mission is to feed coins to a lifting band (9), moved by a motor (12) and assisted in its function by a rolling cylinder (18) and another return cylinder (20).

The lifting band (9) has projections (1 7) so that the coins can move almost vertically, and has the help of a return ramp slot (15) and a second coin derailleur (14).

The lifting band (9) moves the coins to

the rolling ramp (11) where already separated pass sequentially through the sensor (21) and to

continuation

pass by in front of from a solenoid

diverter (4)

that send the coins recognized to the

temporary deposit

(2).

Unrecognized currencies continue their movement towards the rejection window (5), where through the rejection channel (6) they are returned to the user of the equipment in the delivery tray (23).

The coordination of the different sequences as well as the control of the actuators of the various mechanisms is carried out by means of the electronic control card (22).

The device has two main functions, as a coin deposit and as a coin dispenser.

The operation of the apparatus as a deposit of coins is characterized in that the coins that are to be deposited are directly delivered to the feed belt (8) from where by means of the lifting band (9) they are uploaded to the rolling ramp (11), and that passing through the distribution solenoid (21) are selected by the sensor (3) if they are genuine, and diverted to the temporary tank

(2) where they remain until the user approves the deposit at which time they pass to the general deposit (24) where they remain until a new operation.

The unselected coins are rejected through the rejection door (5) and the rejection exit conduit to the delivery tray (23) where the user client will withdraw them.

In the event that the customer does not wish to accept the deposit operation, it is canceled by passing the coins from the temporary deposit (2) to the collection tray (23).

In the event that the device is used in the coin dispensing function, the operation is as follows:

Upon request for delivery of coins, the order is processed by the electronic control card

(22) which puts into operation the coin feeder band (8) that deposits them in the lifting band (17) which in turn deposits them sequentially in the tread ramp (11) from where the sensor (3) sends the corresponding signals to the electronic card (12) that properly actuates the diverter solenoid (21) by selecting those currencies that correspond to the selection preset by the operator from its operating position by means of a computer connection (either Ethernet Network, Serial Bus, USB or other means of transmitting information such as IR, Bluetooth ..., etc.,), said selected currencies

they are deposited in the temporary deposit (2), where they remain until all the coins ordered are selected.

Unselected coins are returned to the general deposit (24). Once the selection of the coins requested by the operator's computer system or, where appropriate, from the control of self-service equipment (for example for the return of a change) is completed, they are dispensed to the delivery tray (23), thus completing the operation.

In the case of its use in bank branches, the device can be connected to the computer terminals of two operators, and can be used sequentially by both. In that case, it has an accessory that allows the delivery tray to be duplicated on both sides of the equipment through the use of a conveyor belt that delivers on the corresponding delivery tray.

Regardless of the two main functions of depositing and dispensing of coins, the coin sensing element (3) can optionally not only verify the genuineness of the selectable coins, but also their state of use according to the parameters that are set by the monetary authority.

When this option is to be operated, it

It incorporates an auxiliary deposit (25) of coins outside of usage parameters.
