Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a money deposit machine for depositing money.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a money depositing machine for depositing money, for example, a banknote depositing machine for depositing bills is disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No.
As described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 263719, when depositing a plurality of banknotes in which a plurality of denominations are mixed, the banknotes inserted into the banknote insertion unit are sent one by one to a transport path, and are identified by the transport path. , Classified according to the identification result, temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit of each denomination, after the identification and temporary storage of the inserted banknotes are completed, responded from each temporary storage unit by the storage command of the temporarily stored banknotes Are stored in different kinds of cassettes.

In order to collect a cassette containing bills, a cassette supporting unit supporting a plurality of cassettes is pulled out from the body, and each cassette is withdrawn from the cassette supporting unit to be collected.

[0004]

However, in the banknote deposit machine described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-263719, the inserted banknotes are temporarily stored in a denomination temporary storage unit.
A temporary holding unit is required for each denomination, and a transport path for sending bills of the corresponding denomination to each temporary holding unit is required, which has a problem that the structure is complicated and costs increase.

Therefore, in order to solve such a problem, one temporary holding section is provided so as to be movable on the cassette support unit, and is provided at a storage position where bills are stored in each cassette supported by the cassette support unit. By allowing the banknotes to be moved, the banknotes are temporarily stored collectively in a state where a plurality of denominations are mixed, and the banknotes are moved to the storage position in the cassette at the time of storage, and the banknotes are stored in the cassette. When I thought about storing them together in a state where multiple denominations were mixed, when I pulled out the cassette support unit from the machine to collect the stored bills in the cassette,
It is conceivable that the temporary holding portion is located above the cassette, and there is a problem that the temporary holding portion hinders the removal of the cassette.

In this case, the temporary holding section must be moved to a position where it does not hinder the removal. However, the temporary holding section that has been exposed has been moved by the driving means after the recovery operation of pulling out the cassette support unit from the body. Since it is considered that it may be dangerous, it is necessary to move the temporary storage unit before starting the collection operation, but if the temporary storage unit is moved before starting the collection operation, It is possible that a waiting time will occur before entering the recovery operation.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and can be dealt with by a single temporary holding unit, can simplify a transport path, and can perform a cassette supporting unit at the time of collecting a cassette containing money. It is an object of the present invention to provide a money receiving machine which can take out a cassette without interfering with a temporary holding unit when taking out the cassette from a cassette support unit by pulling out the cassette to the operation surface side of the body.

[0008]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a money receiving machine having an operation surface for performing a money collecting operation;
A money insertion unit into which money is inserted, an identification unit for identifying the money inserted into the money insertion unit, a plurality of cassettes for storing the money, and the plurality of cassettes integrated with the operation surface side of the machine body. A cassette support unit that can be pulled out and detachably supported in the pulled-out state, and can be moved to a temporary holding position for temporarily accepting and temporarily holding currency identified by the identification unit and to each storage position corresponding to each cassette, A temporary storage unit that moves to a storage position of an arbitrary cassette when storing the money temporarily stored at the temporary storage position and stores the temporarily stored money in the cassette, and sets the standby position of the temporary storage unit to the most from the operation surface of the machine. A temporary holding section standby position setting means for setting the position to a distant position.

Then, the money inserted into the money input section is identified by the identification section, and the money identified as normal is temporarily stored in the temporary storage section located at the temporary storage position. When storing the money temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit, the temporary storage unit moves to a storage position of an arbitrary cassette and stores the temporarily stored money in the cassette. In this way, the escrow unit accepts the money identified as normal by the identification unit and temporarily moves to the escrow position where the escrow is performed and the storage position corresponding to each of the plurality of cassettes. At the time of storing money, by moving to a storage position of an arbitrary cassette and storing the temporarily stored money in the cassette, it is possible to cope with one temporary storage unit, and the temporary storage position for receiving the money in the temporary storage unit is set. In addition, the money is stored in each cassette by moving the temporary holding unit, thereby simplifying the money transfer path. Further, at the time of collecting the cassette containing the money, the cassette support unit is pulled out to the operation surface side of the machine body, and the cassette is taken out from the cassette support unit. At this time, since the standby position of the temporary holding section is set at the position farthest from the operation surface of the machine, the cassette can be taken out without the temporary holding section being in the way.

[0010] According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a money deposit machine according to the first aspect, wherein an optional cassette in which a cassette located at least at a position farthest from an operation surface of the machine body among the plurality of cassettes can be freely mounted. It was done.

When it is not necessary to install the optional cassette, the amount of the cassette support unit to be pulled out from the machine can be reduced, so that the collecting operation is facilitated. It can be handled by installing an optional cassette.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided the money deposit machine according to the first or second aspect, wherein the money temporarily stored in the temporary holding section is stored in the cassette in a manner that the money can be stored in the cassette. The cassettes are preferentially stored in order from the cassette located on the operation surface side.

[0013] Then, the chance of taking out the cassette located at the position farthest from the operation surface of the machine in which the temporary holding portion at the standby position is obstructed is reduced, and the amount of pulling out the cassette support unit from the machine is reduced. This facilitates the collection operation.
