Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は紙幣の入金と出金の何れか一方または両方を行う紙幣入出金装置および現金自動取引装置に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
金融機関で使用される現金自動取引装置は紙幣の入金・出金を行うものである。
現金自動取引装置の取扱対象紙幣として、寸法が異なる紙幣も考慮する必要がある。特開２０００−１８７７５２号公報に、寸法が異なる紙幣を集積・分離する手段が開示されている。この手段は、紙幣の寸法が変わっても、対象紙幣の短辺方向長さに合わせて天板を上下方向に手動で調整するだけで集積・分離を実現できる装置である。つまり、天板位置を手動で調整した後は、ある寸法の紙幣のみしか集積・分離を行えない。
【特許文献１】
特開２０００−１８７７５２号公報
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、現金自動取引装置に紙幣を装填する場合、装填する紙幣全金種を装填回収庫に詰めて、その装填回収庫に詰めた紙幣を、紙幣判別部に経由させることで金種を確定しながら、金種別に紙幣を収納する還流庫に装填する。
また、現金自動取引装置内の紙幣を回収する場合には、還流庫から、紙幣判別部を経由することで金種・枚数を確定しながら、異金種紙幣を装填回収庫に搬送し収納する。さらに、現金自動取引装置内の紙幣枚数の精査をするために、回収と装填を続けて行う。
【０００４】
上述した処理において、装填回収庫は異種の紙幣を混在して集積・分離する必要がある。しかし、上記特開２０００−１８７７５２号公報に記載の装置は、寸法が異なる紙幣の混合収納に対応してないため、従来の現金自動取引装置は寸法が異なる紙幣の装填・回収・精査を行うことができない。

【００２６】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の一実施例について詳細に説明する。
図１は、本発明を適用する現金自動取引装置の外観を示す図である。
図１において、本実施例の現金自動取引装置１０１は、顧客の取引カードや取引明細票を処理するカード／明細票処理機構１０２と、通帳を処理する通帳処理機構１０３と、筐体１０４と、取引に必要な情報を表示および入力する顧客操作部１０５が設けられている。筐体１０４の内部には紙幣入出金装置１を備えている。
【００２７】
図２は、本装置の制御関係を示すブロック図である。
図２において、カード／明細票処理機構１０２、通帳処理機構１０３、顧客操作部１０５および紙幣入出金装置１はバス１１０を介して本体制御部１０６と接続しており、本体制御部１０６の制御の下に必要な動作を行う。上記の他に、インタフェース部１０７と、係員操作部１０８と、外部記憶装置１０９ともバス１１０で接続しており、必要なデータのやり取りを行うが、詳細な説明は省略する。なお、上記各機構、構成部分は、電源部１１１により電力を供給される。
【００２８】
図３は、現金自動取引装置１０１に実装される紙幣入出金装置１の構成を示す図である。
図４は、制御機構を示す図である。
図３、図４において、紙幣入出金装置１は、紙幣を出し入れする入出金口２と、紙幣の金種や真偽を判別する紙幣判別部３と、入金した紙幣を取引成立までの間一時的に収納する一時保管部４と、紙幣を収納する紙幣庫と、紙幣入出金装置１の各構成要素を結び、紙幣を搬送する搬送路５を有する。
【００２９】
紙幣庫はその役割に応じて分類され、例えば出金紙幣として扱わない紙幣を収納する入金庫、入金された紙幣を金種別に収納し出金時にはそれら紙幣を放出する還流庫、還流庫に紙幣を装填し、また還流庫から紙幣を回収する装填回収庫がある。
【００３０】
本実施例では、図３に示すように下部右に入金庫６を備える。また、下部の残りの紙幣庫を還流庫７とする。例えば左から５０ユーロ札用、１００ユーロ札用、２００ユーロ札用の還流庫とすることができる。そして、中段に装填回収庫８を備える。装填回収庫８は、紙幣入出金装置１で取り扱う紙幣を混在して収納および放出する紙幣庫であり、紙幣入出金装置１内の紙幣の装填及び回収を行うものである。
【００３１】
さらに、紙幣入出金装置１は、金種と紙幣寸法との対応関係を記憶した記憶部ＤＢを備える。これにより、紙幣の金種を判別することで紙幣寸法を判断する。制御部９を本体制御部１０６とバス１１０を介して接続し、本体制御部１０６からの指令および紙幣入出金装置１の状態検出に応じて紙幣入出金装置１の制御を行い、紙幣入出金装置１の状態を必要に応じて本体制御部に送る。
【００３２】
紙幣装填は、例えば現金自動取引装置１０１を稼動する前に装置内に紙幣を装填する場合、または、運用時に装填された紙幣の枚数が少なくなったときに装置内に紙幣を補充する場合に行う。
【００３３】
図５は、本実施例の紙幣装填の動作を説明するための現金自動取引装置の構成図である。
図５において、紙幣装填時には、装填回収庫８内にある紙幣を搬送路５に繰り出し、図中の矢印方向に搬送する。その際、紙幣判別部３を経由することで金種、枚数、及び紙幣状態を判断し、出金用としない紙幣は入金庫６に収納し、出金用とする紙幣は金種毎に還流庫７に収納する。
【００３４】
図６に上記紙幣装填のフロー図を示す。
【００３５】
一方、紙幣回収は、例えば営業終了後に現金自動取引装置１０１内の紙幣を回収する場合、または、運用時に装填された紙幣の枚数が多くなり装置内の紙幣を回収する必要が生じた場合に行う。
【００３６】
図７は、本実施例の紙幣回収の動作を説明する現金自動取引装置の構成図である。
【００３７】
図７において、紙幣回収時には、還流庫７内にある紙幣を搬送路５に繰り出し、図中の矢印方向に搬送する。その際、紙幣判別部３を経由することで金種、枚数を判断し、装填回収庫８に収納する。尚、本実施例では、入金庫６をそのまま取り外すことで、入金庫６内の紙幣の回収を行う。
【００３８】
図８に上記紙幣回収のフロー図を示す。
【００３９】
また、上記の回収動作と装填動作を行うことで、装置内の紙幣枚数を確定させることができる。
【００４０】
次に、本発明の実施例を適用する装填回収庫８について詳細に説明する。
【００４１】
図９は、装填回収庫８に紙幣を収納する状態を表す側面図である。
図１０は装填回収庫８から紙幣を放出する状態を表す側面図である。
図１１は、紙幣入出金装置１に搭載される装填回収庫８の構成を示す上面図である。
図９、図１０、図１１において、装填回収庫８は、紙幣を立位状態で水平方向に収納する横置型の紙幣庫であり、異なる寸法の紙幣の収納と分離を行う。
紙幣の取込放出機構は、スタック・フィードローラ８０１と、ピックアップローラ８１１と、従動回転するバックアップローラ８０２と、紙幣の収納方向に回転し、繰り出し方向には回転しないゲートローラ８０３と、ゲートローラ８０３と同一軸上にあって可撓性の押込み部材が放射状に配置されたブラシローラ８０４と、分離時と集積時で位置が変化する分離・集積ガイド８０５とで構成する。
【００４２】
スタック・フィードローラ８０１は、図示せぬ駆動源及びギヤを用いて駆動回転し、収納する紙幣を集積空間へ送り、また放出する紙幣を搬送路５へと送る。バックアップローラ８０２は、スタック・フィードローラ８０１に従動して回転し、スタック・フィードローラ８０１との間に紙幣を挟持して、紙幣を搬送する。ゲートローラ８０３は、紙幣を収納するときにスタック・フィードローラ８０１に従動して回転するが、放出するときは回転しない。
すなわち、ピックアップローラ８１１とスタック・フィードローラ８０１により紙幣を分離し繰り出すときに、放出紙幣に隣接した紙幣はゲートローラ８０３と接触し、放出紙幣と追従して繰り出されることを防止する。
【００４３】
スタック・フィードローラ８０１とゲートローラ８０３は集積空間へ続く取込放出口となる。すなわち、外部から取込んだ紙幣に対しスタック・フィードローラ８０１とゲートローラ８０３の挟持がはずれると、紙幣は分離・集積ガイド８０５との接触を除いて非拘束状態となり、集積空間内に取り込まれる。
【００４４】
尚、ブラシローラ８０４は紙幣放出動作を実現するため、約半周分のみしかシートを有していない。紙幣を収納する際は、紙幣収納方向に回転することにより放射状に配置されたシートで集積空間に集積された紙幣を収納空間へかき出す。紙幣を放出する際は、ブラシローラ８０４は、シートが集積空間に現れない位置で停止する。これにより、シートと干渉することなく紙幣を放出できる。
【００４５】
また、ピックアップローラ８１１はスタック・フィードローラ８０１と同期駆動し、さらに、ブラシローラ８０４はスタック・フィードローラ８０１に対して逆転駆動する構成であり、駆動源の共用化を図っている。
なお、ブラシローラ８０４は１方向クラッチを介してスタック・フィードローラ８０１と連結しており、紙幣放出時にブラシローラ８０４は回転しない。
更に、１方向クラッチとは、一方の方向には回転するが、逆の方向には回転しないクラッチであり、図９に示す時計方向には回転するが、反時計方向には回転しない。
【００４６】
分離・集積ガイド８０５は、集積空間側の面が紙幣案内面となり、紙幣収納時および放出時に紙幣を案内する。紙幣収納時は、紙幣案内面が取込放出機構の取込放出口における紙幣進行方向の延長上に沿う位置に配置される。紙幣放出時は、紙幣案内面はピックアップローラ８１１が露出する位置まで待避する。
【００４７】
収納空間は、床面８０８と、床面８０８より上面で収納紙幣の下端を支持するように懸架した床面ベルト８０７と、押板８０６と、分離・集積ガイド８０５と、天板８１０と、側壁８１３とで囲まれて形成される。
側壁８１３は紙幣の寸法に合わせて取り付け位置の設定ができる。側壁８１３の幅は、紙幣の幅方向寸法より２ｍｍ〜１０ｍｍ程度大きい値に設定するのが適当である。また、紙幣入出金装置１が取り扱う最大寸法の紙幣を収納できるように床面８０８と天板８１０との間の距離は、最大寸法の紙幣の高さ方向長さよりも大きい値に設定する。
【００４８】
透過センサは発光素子８８８ａと受光素子８８８ｂとで構成する。取込放出口近傍に紙幣が存在する場合、紙幣が光を遮るため、紙幣が取込放出口近傍に存在することを知ることができる。
四枚羽根の機構
本実施例では、分離・集積ガイド８０５の上方に、集積紙幣の過剰な進行を抑制する進行規制手段８９１を備えている。
【００４９】
図１２は、進行規制手段８９１の形状を示す図である。
図１２において、進行規制手段８９１は、先端に紙幣との摩擦を低減する摩擦低減部材として転がり部材８９１ａを備えている。
尚、摩擦低減部材の他の例として、後述する図１９に示すように、転がり部材８９１ａの代りに、進行規制手段８９１の先端が球面やひし形の形状をしているものや、球面状やひし形状の可動物を備えたものでもよい。
【００５０】
分離・集積ガイド８０５、床面８０８、進行規制手段８９１で形成される空間が集積空間であり、外部から取込んだ紙幣をこの集積空間に集積する。
尚、図９に示すように、干渉防止手段として床面ベルト８０７、床面８０８を傾斜させ、それに伴い側壁８１３、押板８０６のレール、天板８１０を傾斜させる。これにより、収納紙幣を分離・集積ガイド８０５に掛からないようにして集積空間を確保することができる。
尚、この目的を実現する別の手段として、装填回収庫８全体を傾けて紙幣入出金装置１に設置してもよい。
【００５１】
進行規制手段８９１は、紙幣を集積空間に集積する際、紙幣が上方に過剰に進行することを規制する役目を持つ。
尚、図１１に示すように、進行規制手段８９１を紙幣幅方向に複数設けることで、集積紙幣の上端部を複数箇所で規制する。
また、進行規制手段８９１の回転動作に伴い紙幣が進行規制手段８９１の上方に進入すること防ぐために、図９に示すように、集積空間上方に、紙幣が引っ掛かる形状をもつ紙幣進入防止手段８９３を備えてもよい。
四枚羽根の集積動作
次に、装填回収庫８に異なる寸法の紙幣を混合して収納する場合の動作について述べる。
【００５２】
図１４は、本実施例の装填回収庫に紙幣を収納、放出する制御の模式図である。
図１４において、制御部９が装填回収庫８の各駆動部、センサ等を司る。また、紙幣の金種を判別する紙幣判別部３、及び、金種と紙幣寸法を対応づけたデータベースを持つ記憶部ＤＢで構成する紙幣寸法検出手段は、紙幣判別部３を通過する紙幣の寸法を認識し、直ちにその情報を制御部９に伝達する。この際、制御部９へは紙幣の搬送順番の情報も伝達する。
【００５３】
図１３は、本実施例を備えた装填回収庫に紙幣を収納する動作を説明するための図である。
【００５４】
図１３において、紙幣判別部３を通過させた紙幣を、その後、装填回収庫８に搬送する。制御部９は、スタック・フィードローラ用駆動モータ８０１ｍを駆動することでスタック・フィードローラ８０１とゲートローラ８０３を回転させ、紙幣１０００を装填回収庫８内に挟持搬送する。このとき、紙幣１０００は、分離・集積ガイド８０５の紙幣案内面に沿って立位状態を保って搬送される。
【００５５】
そして、スタック・フィードローラ８０１とゲートローラ８０３との挟持がはずれた後に、紙幣１０００の進行方向先端部は、進行規制手段８９１の突出部（転がり部材８９１ａ近傍）と衝突する。
尚、制御部９は、装填回収庫８に取込む紙幣の情報が制御部９に伝達されると、紙幣判別部３から装填回収庫８までの紙幣搬送時間を考慮して、進行規制手段用駆動モータ８９１ｍを駆動し、床面８０８から進行規制手段８９１の突出部までの距離が、各集積紙幣の進行方向長さと同等になるように進行規制手段８９１を図１３の反時計方向に回転制御する。
尚、進行規制手段８９１を、原則、紙幣一枚に対し突出部一つ分回転するように制御する。このように、紙幣１０００の進行方向先端を規制することで過剰な進行を防ぎ、進行方向後端部を床面８０８に揃えた状態で集積できる。
そして、紙幣一枚毎に進行規制手段８９１の突出部が一つ分回転することで、異なる寸法の紙幣を連続して集積できる。
【００５６】
尚、図１３に示すように、例えばバックアップローラ８０２付近に紙幣の通過を検知する紙幣検出手段８９２を設置して、紙幣の通過タイミングに合わせて、集積紙幣一枚毎に進行規制手段８９１を回転させる制御を行ってもよい。
【００５７】
図１５は、本実施例の進行規制手段８９１の収納動作時の制御フローを示す図である。
図１６は、この場合の進行規制手段８９１の収納動作時制御フローを示す図である。
尚、集積空間に集積した紙幣の下端を回転するブラシローラ８０４で抑えることで、後続紙幣との衝突を回避できる。一方、集積空間付近の紙幣が多くなり、透過センサ８８８が遮光される時間が一定時間より長くなると、集積空間を確保するため、制御部９は押板用駆動モータ８０６ｍを駆動し、収納空間が広がる方向に押板８０６を移動させる。
四枚羽根の分離動作
次に、装填回収庫８から紙幣を放出する場合の動作について述べる。装填回収庫８から紙幣を放出する際には、図１０に示すように、押板用駆動モータ８０６ｍを駆動することで押板８０６を分離・集積ガイド８０５側に移動させて、収納紙幣を分離・集積ガイド８０５に押し付ける。同時に、分離・集積ガイド８０５および進行規制手段８９１を退避させ、ピックアップローラ８１１を露出させる。そして、ピックアップローラ８１１を回転させることで、収納紙幣を一枚ずつ分離しながら装填回収庫８の外に放出する。
尚、上記の通り、紙幣集積時に紙幣下端を床面８０８に揃えた状態で集積しているため、安定した紙幣放出が実現できる。
このように、本発明によれば、一つの装填回収庫に寸法の異なる紙幣を混在して収納することが可能となる。
【００５８】
図１７は、他の実施例を備えた干渉防止手段を示す図である。
図１８は、同じく他の実施例を備えた干渉防止手段を示す図である。
図１７、図１８において、干渉防止手段として床面ベルト８０７、床面８０８を傾斜させたが、押板傾斜用バネ８０６ｓを備えた押板８０６ａを干渉防止手段として用いてもよい。この場合、図１７に示す様に、紙幣集積時には、押板傾斜用バネ８０６ｓの力により押板８０６ａは傾斜し、従って収納空間内の収納紙幣を傾斜させることができ、収納紙幣を分離・集積ガイド８０５に掛からないようにして集積空間を確保することができる。一方、図１８に示す様に、紙幣分離時には、押板８０６ａが分離・集積ガイド８０５の方向に移動するにつれ、分離・集積ガイド８０５の反力により、収納紙幣および押板８０６ａの姿勢は分離・集積ガイド８０５に沿う方向に変化し、安定した分離を行うことができる。
【００５９】
図１９は、他の実施例を備えた摩擦低減手段を説明する図である。
一枚羽根の機構
尚、図１２に示す進行規制手段８９１の代りに、後述する図２０に示すように、進行規制手段の機能と干渉防止手段の機能を併せ持つ集積補助手段８１２を用いてもよい。集積補助手段８１２は、進行規制手段の機能を果たすストッパ部８１２ａと干渉防止手段の機能を果たす紙幣支え部８１２ｂで構成する。
【００６０】
ストッパ部８１２ａは、紙幣を集積空間に集積する際、紙幣が上方に過剰に進行することを規制する役目を持つ。紙幣支え部８１２ｂは、集積空間と収納空間の境界であり、収納空間に収納している紙幣を支える役目を持つ。紙幣支え部８１２ｂの先端から床面８０８までの距離は、紙幣入出金装置１で取り扱う最小寸法の紙幣の進行方向長さ、すなわち立位状態で収納された紙幣高さよりも短い。これは、集積空間に立位状態で取り込まれた紙幣の転倒、及び、収納空間にある収納済み紙幣の集積空間側への進入を防止するためである。
【００６１】
図２０中の集積補助部材は紙幣支え部８１２ｂを一つだけ備えているが、二つ以上備えてもよい。
尚、紙幣支え部８１２ｂを二つ以上備えた場合でも、紙幣はひとつの紙幣支え部８１２ｂと別の紙幣支え部８１２ｂの間に紙幣を挟むものではなく、紙幣支え部８１２ｂとストッパ部８１２ａと分離・集積ガイド８０５と床面８０８からなる集積空間に紙幣を集積する。
【００６２】
図２３は、集積補助手段８１２を備えた装填回収庫８の構成を示す上面図である。また、図２１は、装填回収庫８に紙幣を収納する状態を表す側面図であり、図２２は装填回収庫８から紙幣を放出する状態を表す側面図である。
尚、図２４に示すように、分離・集積ガイド８０５に集積空間量検出手段８９０を備える。集積空間量検出手段８９０は図示しないバネにより、通常は集積空間中に突出しているが、紙幣が集積空間内を占めてくると、集積空間量検出手段８９０は紙幣により分離・集積ガイド８０５側へ倒される。これにより、紙幣が集積空間内を占めていることを検出できる。
一枚羽根の集積動作
次に、装填回収庫８に紙幣を収納する場合の動作について述べる。装填回収庫８に紙幣を収納する場合とは、上記の回収または精査を行う場合である。すなわち、金種毎に紙幣を収納する還流庫７毎に装填回収庫８に順次紙幣を搬送する、言い換えると、同じ寸法の紙幣が纏って装填回収庫８に搬送される場合である。
【００６３】
図２６に示すように制御部９が装填回収庫８の各駆動部、センサ等を司る。また、紙幣の金種を判別する紙幣判別部３、及び、金種と紙幣寸法を対応づけたデータベースを持つ記憶部ＤＢで構成する紙幣寸法検出手段は、紙幣判別部３を通過する紙幣の寸法を認識し、その情報を制御部９に伝達する。
【００６４】
装填回収庫８に取込む紙幣寸法情報が制御部９に伝達すると、制御部９は集積補助手段用駆動モータ８１２ｍを駆動し、床面８０８からストッパ部８１２ａまでの距離が、取込む紙幣の進行方向長さと同等になる位置まで集積補助手段８１２を回転させ固定する。尚、取込む紙幣の寸法が比較的小さい場合を図２４に、取込む紙幣の寸法が比較的大きい場合を図２５に示す。尚、図２９に示すように、
分離・集積ガイド８０５の上部を円形にすることで、集積可能紙幣の寸法の上限を上げることも可能である。
【００６５】
続いて、スタック・フィードローラ用駆動モータ８０１ｍを駆動することでスタック・フィードローラ８０１とゲートローラ８０３を回転させ、紙幣１０００を装填回収庫８内に挟持搬送する。このとき、紙幣１０００は、分離・集積ガイド８０５の紙幣案内面に沿って立位状態を保って搬送される。
【００６６】
そして、スタック・フィードローラ８０１とゲートローラ８０３との挟持がはずれた後に、紙幣１０００の進行方向先端部は、集積補助手段８１２のストッパ部８１２ａと衝突する。すなわち、紙幣１０００の進行方向先端を規制することで過剰な進行を防ぎ、進行方向後端部を床面８０８に揃えた状態で集積できる。
【００６７】
上記の様に紙幣を集積し続け、集積紙幣が集積空間を占める割合が大きくなり、それを集積空間量検出手段８９０が検知すると、図２７に示す様に、制御部９は集積補助手段用駆動モータ８１２ｍを駆動し、集積補助手段８１２を回転させる。こうすることで、分離・集積ガイド８０５と紙幣支え部８１２ｂとの間にある紙幣は収納空間に移動し、集積空間には紙幣がない状態になる。尚、集積補助手段８１２が回転している間は、装填回収庫８への紙幣搬送は中断することが望ましい。
【００６８】
上記の手順で、ある寸法の紙幣を収納し終わると、ひき続き、次に収納する紙幣の寸法に対応して集積補助手段８１２の位置を変更し、収納を続ける。これを繰り返すことで、各還流庫７に収納してある紙幣を一つの装填回収庫８に、紙幣容量が許す限り、収納することが出来る。図２８に、本実施例の集積補助手段８１２が収納動作を行う時の制御フロー図を示す。
【００６９】
尚、ブラシローラ８０４及び押板８０６の構成、制御等は上述の内容と同一である。但し、押板８０６の駆動タイミングは上記の集積補助手段８１２の回転タイミングと同期してもよい。
一枚羽根の分離動作
次に、装填回収庫８から紙幣を放出する場合の動作について述べる。装填回収庫８から紙幣を放出する際には、図２２に示すように、押板用駆動モータ８０６ｍを駆動することで押板８０６を分離・集積ガイド８０５側に移動させて、収納紙幣を分離・集積ガイド８０５に押し付ける。同時に、分離・集積ガイド８０５および集積補助手段８１２を収納空間から退避させ、ピックアップローラ８１１を露出させる。そして、ピックアップローラ８１１を回転させることで、収納紙幣を一枚ずつ分離しながら装填回収庫８の外に放出する。尚、上記の通り、紙幣集積時に紙幣下端を床面８０８に揃えた状態で集積しているため、安定した紙幣放出が実現できる。
【００７０】
以上に説明した装填回収庫８を用いることで、異なる寸法の紙幣を紙幣入出金装置に装填・回収することが可能な現金自動取引装置を提供することができる。
【００７１】
尚、入金した紙幣を取引成立までの間一時的に収納する一時保管部４は、利用者により入出金口２に投入された紙幣を最初に集積する箇所であるため、装填回収庫８と同様に、異なる寸法の紙幣を集積する機能を必要とする。そのため、本発明を一時保管部４に適応することで、異なる寸法の紙幣の入金・出金が可能な現金自動取引装置を提供することができる。
【００７２】
また、本実施例では、リジェクト紙幣を入金するために入金庫を用い、金種別の紙幣庫として還流庫を用いた紙幣入出金装置の例を示したが、本例の装填回収庫を入金庫および還流庫として利用することも可能である。
【００７３】
また、ここでは紙幣を立位で収納する横置き型の紙幣庫について説明したが、図３０に示すように、紙幣を水平に集積する縦置き型の紙幣庫にも適用できる。尚、図３０に示す様に、重力により紙幣の左側端が床面８０８側に揃うように押板８０６ｂが傾斜していてもよい。その場合、この押板８０６ｂは、前述の押板８０６ａと傾斜方向が違うが、同様の動きをする。
図３０中のその他の部材も前述と同様の動きをする。これにより、横置き型の装填回収庫８においても、過剰な進行を規制する進行規制手段８９１を設けることによって、床面８０８に対し整列性を保った集積が可能であり、従って安定した分離も可能である。
また、本発明の装置が取扱う対象は紙幣のみならず、全ての紙葉類に適応できる。
【００７４】
【発明の効果】
本発明を用いると、寸法の異なる紙幣を混在して集積・分離できる紙幣入出金装置および現金自動取引装置を提供することができる。

In this embodiment, the banknotes in the safe 6 are collected by removing the safe 6 as it is.
[0038]
FIG. 8 shows a flow chart of the bill collection.
[0039]
Moreover, the number of banknotes in the apparatus can be determined by performing the above-described collecting operation and loading operation.
[0040]
Next, the loading / recovery box 8 to which the embodiment of the present invention is applied will be described in detail.
[0041]
FIG. 9 is a side view showing a state in which banknotes are stored in the loading / recovery box 8.
FIG. 10 is a side view showing a state in which banknotes are discharged from the loading / recovery box 8.
FIG. 11 is a top view showing the configuration of the loading / recovery box 8 mounted on the banknote depositing / dispensing apparatus 1.
9, 10, and 11, the loading / recovery box 8 is a horizontal banknote bank that stores banknotes in a horizontal state in a standing state, and stores and separates banknotes having different dimensions.
The banknote take-in / release mechanism includes a stack / feed roller 801, a pickup roller 811, a follow-up rotating backup roller 802, a gate roller 803 that rotates in the banknote storage direction and does not rotate in the payout direction, and a gate roller 803. The brush roller 804 is arranged on the same axis and has flexible pushing members arranged radially, and a separation / stacking guide 805 whose position changes between separation and stacking.
[0042]
The stack / feed roller 801 is driven and rotated by using a driving source and a gear (not shown) to send the banknotes to be stored to the stacking space and to send the banknotes to be discharged to the transport path 5. The backup roller 802 rotates following the stack / feed roller 801, holds the banknote between the stack / feed roller 801, and transports the banknote. The gate roller 803 rotates following the stack / feed roller 801 when storing bills, but does not rotate when discharging.
That is, when the banknote is separated and fed out by the pickup roller 811 and the stack / feed roller 801, the banknote adjacent to the released banknote contacts the gate roller 803 and is prevented from being fed out following the released banknote.
[0043]
The stack / feed roller 801 and the gate roller 803 serve as intake and discharge ports continuing into the accumulation space. That is, when the stack / feed roller 801 and the gate roller 803 are removed from the bills taken from the outside, the bills are brought into an unconstrained state except for contact with the separation / stacking guide 805 and are taken into the stacking space.
[0044]
Note that the brush roller 804 has a sheet only for about half a circle in order to realize a bill discharge operation. When storing banknotes, the banknotes stacked in the stacking space with the sheets arranged radially by rotating in the banknote storing direction are scraped out into the storage space. When discharging the banknote, the brush roller 804 stops at a position where the sheet does not appear in the stacking space. Thereby, banknotes can be discharged without interfering with the sheet.
[0045]
The pickup roller 811 is driven in synchronization with the stack / feed roller 801, and the brush roller 804 is driven in reverse rotation with respect to the stack / feed roller 801, so that the drive source is shared.
Note that the brush roller 804 is connected to the stack / feed roller 801 via a one-way clutch, and the brush roller 804 does not rotate when a bill is released.
Furthermore, the one-way clutch is a clutch that rotates in one direction but does not rotate in the opposite direction, and rotates in the clockwise direction shown in FIG. 9, but does not rotate in the counterclockwise direction.
[0046]
In the separation / stacking guide 805, the surface on the stacking space side becomes a banknote guide surface, and guides banknotes when banknotes are stored and discharged. At the time of banknote storage, the banknote guide surface is arranged at a position along the extension of the banknote advancing direction at the intake / release port of the intake / release mechanism. When the bill is released, the bill guide surface is retracted to a position where the pickup roller 811 is exposed.
[0047]
The storage space includes a floor surface 808, a floor belt 807 suspended above the floor surface 808 so as to support the lower end of the stored bills, a push plate 806, a separation / stacking guide 805, a top plate 810, and a side wall. 813 is formed.
The attachment position of the side wall 813 can be set according to the size of the bill. It is appropriate to set the width of the side wall 813 to a value about 2 mm to 10 mm larger than the width direction dimension of the banknote. Moreover, the distance between the floor 808 and the top plate 810 is set to a value larger than the height direction length of the largest sized bill so that the largest sized bill handled by the bill depositing / dispensing apparatus 1 can be stored.
[0048]
The transmission sensor includes a light emitting element 888a and a light receiving element 888b. When a banknote exists in the vicinity of the intake / discharge port, the banknote blocks light, so that it can be known that the banknote exists in the vicinity of the intake / discharge port.
Four-blade mechanism
In this embodiment, a progress restricting means 891 that suppresses excessive progress of the stacked banknotes is provided above the separation / stacking guide 805.
[0049]
FIG. 12 is a view showing the shape of the progress restricting means 891.
In FIG. 12, the progress restricting means 891 includes a rolling member 891a as a friction reducing member for reducing friction with a bill at the tip.
As other examples of the friction reducing member, as shown in FIG. 19 described later, instead of the rolling member 891a, the tip of the progress restricting means 891 has a spherical or rhombus shape, or a spherical or rhombus shape. It may be provided with a movable object.
[0050]
A space formed by the separation / stacking guide 805, the floor surface 808, and the travel regulation means 891 is a stacking space, and banknotes taken from outside are stacked in this stacking space.
As shown in FIG. 9, the floor belt 807 and the floor surface 808 are inclined as interference preventing means, and the side wall 813, the rail of the push plate 806, and the top plate 810 are inclined accordingly. Thereby, it is possible to secure the accumulation space so that the stored banknotes are not hung on the separation / accumulation guide 805.
As another means for realizing this object, the entire loading / recovery box 8 may be inclined and installed in the banknote depositing / dispensing apparatus 1.
[0051]
The progress restricting means 891 has a role of restricting the banknotes from traveling excessively upward when stacking the banknotes in the stacking space.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 11, the upper end part of a stack | stacking banknote is controlled in multiple places by providing the progress control means 891 in multiple numbers in a banknote width direction.
Further, in order to prevent the banknote from entering above the progress regulating means 891 in accordance with the rotation operation of the progress regulating means 891, as shown in FIG. 9, a banknote entry preventing means 893 having a shape in which the banknote is caught is provided above the accumulation space. You may prepare.
Four-blade stacking operation
Next, the operation when the bills of different sizes are mixed and stored in the loading / recovery box 8 will be described.
[0052]
FIG. 14 is a schematic diagram of control for storing and discharging banknotes in the loading and collecting box of the present embodiment.
In FIG. 14, the control unit 9 controls each drive unit, sensor, and the like of the loading / recovery box 8. Moreover, the banknote size detection means comprised by the memory | storage part DB with the banknote discrimination | determination part 3 which discriminate | determines the denomination of a banknote, and the database which matched the money type and the banknote dimension is the dimension of the banknote which passes the banknote discrimination | determination part 3. And immediately transmits the information to the control unit 9. At this time, information on the banknote conveyance order is also transmitted to the control unit 9.
[0053]
FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining the operation of storing banknotes in the loading and collecting box provided with the present embodiment.
[0054]
In FIG. 13, the banknote passed through the banknote discriminating unit 3 is then conveyed to the loading / recovery box 8. The controller 9 rotates the stack / feed roller 801 and the gate roller 803 by driving the stack / feed roller driving motor 801m, and sandwiches and conveys the banknote 1000 into the loading / recovery box 8. At this time, the banknote 1000 is conveyed while maintaining a standing state along the banknote guide surface of the separation / stacking guide 805.
[0055]
Then, after the nipping between the stack / feed roller 801 and the gate roller 803 is released, the leading end of the banknote 1000 in the advancing direction collides with the protruding portion (in the vicinity of the rolling member 891a) of the advancing restricting means 891.
In addition, when the information of the banknote taken into the loading collection | recovery store | warehouse | chamber 8 is transmitted to the control part 9, the control part 9 considers the banknote conveyance time from the banknote discrimination | determination part 3 to the loading collection | recovery store | warehouse | chamber 8, and is for progress control means. The drive motor 891m is driven, and the travel restricting means 891 is controlled to rotate counterclockwise in FIG. 13 so that the distance from the floor 808 to the protruding portion of the travel restricting means 891 is equal to the length of each stacked bill in the travel direction. To do.
In principle, the progress regulating means 891 is controlled so as to rotate by one protrusion relative to one bill. In this way, excessive advancement can be prevented by regulating the leading end of the bill 1000 in the traveling direction, and the trailing end in the traveling direction can be accumulated in a state aligned with the floor 808.
And the banknote of a different dimension can be accumulate | stacked continuously because the protrusion part of the progress control means 891 rotates by one for every banknote.
[0056]
As shown in FIG. 13, for example, a bill detecting means 892 for detecting the passage of banknotes is installed in the vicinity of the backup roller 802, and the travel regulating means 891 is rotated for each stacked banknote in accordance with the passage timing of the banknotes. Control may be performed.
[0057]
FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a control flow during the storing operation of the progress restricting means 891 of this embodiment.
FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a control flow during the storing operation of the progress restricting means 891 in this case.
In addition, the collision with a succeeding banknote can be avoided by suppressing the lower end of the banknote accumulated | stacked in stacking space with the brush roller 804 which rotates. On the other hand, when the banknotes near the accumulation space increase and the time during which the transmission sensor 888 is shielded becomes longer than a certain time, the control unit 9 drives the push plate drive motor 806m to secure the accumulation space, The push plate 806 is moved in the spreading direction.
Four-blade separation operation
Next, the operation in the case of discharging banknotes from the loading collection box 8 will be described. As shown in FIG. 10, when the banknotes are discharged from the loading collection box 8, the pressing plate drive motor 806m is driven to move the pressing plate 806 to the separation / stacking guide 805 side to separate the stored banknotes. -Press against the accumulation guide 805. At the same time, the separation / accumulation guide 805 and the travel regulation means 891 are retracted, and the pickup roller 811 is exposed. Then, by rotating the pickup roller 811, the stored banknotes are discharged out of the loading / recovery box 8 while being separated one by one.
As described above, since banknotes are stacked in a state where the bottom edges of the banknotes are aligned with the floor surface 808, stable banknote discharge can be realized.
As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to store bills having different dimensions in a single loading and collecting store.
[0058]
FIG. 17 is a diagram showing an interference preventing means provided with another embodiment.
FIG. 18 is a diagram showing interference preventing means having another embodiment.
In FIGS. 17 and 18, the floor belt 807 and the floor 808 are inclined as interference preventing means, but a pressing plate 806a provided with a spring 806s for pressing plate inclination may be used as the interference preventing means. In this case, as shown in FIG. 17, when stacking banknotes, the pressing plate 806 a is tilted by the force of the spring 806 s for tilting the pressing plate, so that the stored banknotes in the storage space can be tilted, and the stored banknotes are separated and stacked. An accumulation space can be secured so as not to get on the guide 805. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 18, at the time of banknote separation, as the pressing plate 806 a moves in the direction of the separation / stacking guide 805, the posture of the stored banknote and the pressing plate 806 a is separated / removed by the reaction force of the separation / stacking guide 805. It changes in the direction along the accumulation guide 805, and stable separation can be performed.
[0059]
FIG. 19 is a diagram for explaining friction reducing means provided with another embodiment.
Single blade mechanism
In place of the progress restricting means 891 shown in FIG. 12, a stacking auxiliary means 812 having both the function of the progress restricting means and the function of the interference preventing means may be used as shown in FIG. The stacking assisting means 812 includes a stopper portion 812a that functions as a travel restricting means and a bill support portion 812b that functions as an interference preventing means.
[0060]
The stopper portion 812a has a function of restricting the banknote from excessively moving upward when stacking the banknote in the stacking space. The banknote support part 812b is a boundary between the accumulation space and the storage space, and has a role of supporting the banknotes stored in the storage space. The distance from the front end of the banknote support part 812b to the floor surface 808 is shorter than the length of the minimum dimension banknote handled by the banknote depositing / dispensing apparatus 1, that is, the banknote height stored in the standing position. This is to prevent the banknotes taken up in the stacking space in the standing state and the stored banknotes in the storage space from entering the stacking space.
[0061]
The stacking auxiliary member in FIG. 20 includes only one bill support portion 812b, but may include two or more.
Even when two or more banknote support parts 812b are provided, the banknote is not sandwiched between one banknote support part 812b and another banknote support part 812b, but separated from the banknote support part 812b and the stopper part 812a. Stack banknotes in a stacking space composed of the stacking guide 805 and the floor surface 808.
[0062]
FIG. 23 is a top view showing the configuration of the loading / recovery box 8 provided with the stacking auxiliary means 812. FIG. FIG. 21 is a side view showing a state in which banknotes are stored in the loading / recovery box 8, and FIG. 22 is a side view showing a state in which banknotes are discharged from the loading / recovery box 8.
Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 24, the separation / stacking guide 805 is provided with a stacking space amount detecting means 890. The accumulating space amount detecting means 890 normally protrudes into the accumulating space by a spring (not shown). However, when the bills occupy the accumulating space, the accumulated space amount detecting means 890 moves toward the separation / stacking guide 805 side by the bills. Defeated. Thereby, it can be detected that the banknote occupies the accumulation space.
Single blade accumulation operation
Next, the operation when banknotes are stored in the loading / recovery box 8 will be described. The case of storing banknotes in the loading collection box 8 is a case where the above collection or scrutiny is performed. That is, it is a case where a banknote is sequentially conveyed to the loading collection | recovery store | warehouse | chamber 8 for every recirculation | refrigeration store | warehouse | chamber 7 which stores a banknote for every money type, in other words, it is a case where the banknote of the same dimension is collectively conveyed to the loading collection | recovery store | warehouse | chamber 8.
[0063]
As shown in FIG. 26, the control unit 9 manages each drive unit, sensor, and the like of the loading / recovery box 8. Moreover, the banknote size detection means comprised by the memory | storage part DB with the banknote discrimination | determination part 3 which discriminate | determines the denomination of a banknote, and the database which matched the money type and the banknote dimension is the dimension of the banknote which passes the banknote discrimination | determination part 3. Is transmitted to the control unit 9.
[0064]
When the bill size information taken into the loading / recovery box 8 is transmitted to the control unit 9, the control unit 9 drives the accumulation assisting means drive motor 812m, and the distance from the floor surface 808 to the stopper portion 812a is the progress of the bill to be taken in. The accumulation assisting means 812 is rotated and fixed to a position equivalent to the direction length. In addition, the case where the dimension of the banknote taken in is comparatively small is shown in FIG. 24, and the case where the dimension of the banknote taken in is comparatively large is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG.
By making the upper part of the separation / stacking guide 805 circular, it is possible to increase the upper limit of the dimensions of stackable banknotes.
[0065]
Subsequently, by driving the stack / feed roller driving motor 801m, the stack / feed roller 801 and the gate roller 803 are rotated, and the bill 1000 is nipped and conveyed in the loading / recovery box 8. At this time, the banknote 1000 is conveyed while maintaining a standing state along the banknote guide surface of the separation / stacking guide 805.
[0066]
Then, after the nipping between the stack / feed roller 801 and the gate roller 803 is released, the leading end of the banknote 1000 in the advancing direction collides with the stopper portion 812a of the stacking assisting means 812. That is, by restricting the leading edge of the bill 1000 in the traveling direction, excessive advancement can be prevented, and the trailing end in the traveling direction can be stacked with the floor surface 808 aligned.
[0067]
When the banknotes are continuously accumulated as described above, and the proportion of the accumulated banknotes occupying the accumulation space increases and the accumulation space amount detection means 890 detects this, as shown in FIG. The motor 812m is driven to rotate the accumulation assisting means 812. By doing so, the bill between the separation / stacking guide 805 and the bill support portion 812b moves to the storage space, and there is no bill in the stacking space. In addition, it is desirable to interrupt the banknote conveyance to the loading collection | recovery store | warehouse | chamber 8, while the stacking assistance means 812 is rotating.
[0068]
When the banknote of a certain size is stored in the above procedure, it continues, and the position of the stacking auxiliary means 812 is changed according to the size of the banknote to be stored next, and the storing is continued. By repeating this, it is possible to store the bills stored in the respective reflux stores 7 in one loading and collecting store 8 as long as the bill capacity permits. FIG. 28 shows a control flow chart when the stacking assisting means 812 of this embodiment performs the storing operation.
[0069]
The configuration, control, and the like of the brush roller 804 and the pressing plate 806 are the same as described above. However, the drive timing of the push plate 806 may be synchronized with the rotation timing of the stacking auxiliary means 812 described above.
Single blade separation operation
Next, the operation in the case of discharging banknotes from the loading collection box 8 will be described. As shown in FIG. 22, when the banknotes are discharged from the loading / recovery box 8, the pressing plate drive motor 806m is driven to move the pressing plate 806 to the separation / stacking guide 805 side to separate the stored banknotes. -Press against the accumulation guide 805. At the same time, the separation / stacking guide 805 and the stacking assisting means 812 are retracted from the storage space, and the pickup roller 811 is exposed. Then, by rotating the pickup roller 811, the stored banknotes are discharged out of the loading / recovery box 8 while being separated one by one. As described above, since banknotes are stacked in a state where the bottom edges of the banknotes are aligned with the floor surface 808, stable banknote discharge can be realized.
[0070]
By using the loading collection | recovery store | warehouse | chamber 8 demonstrated above, the automatic teller machine which can load and collect | recover the banknote of a different dimension in a banknote depositing / withdrawing apparatus can be provided.
[0071]
The temporary storage unit 4 for temporarily storing the deposited banknotes until the transaction is established is a place where the banknotes inserted into the deposit / withdrawal port 2 by the user are first accumulated, and thus is similar to the loading / recovery box 8. In addition, a function for collecting banknotes having different dimensions is required. Therefore, by applying the present invention to the temporary storage unit 4, it is possible to provide an automatic teller machine capable of depositing / withdrawing bills having different dimensions.
[0072]
Further, in this embodiment, an example of a banknote depositing / dispensing device using a deposit box for depositing rejected banknotes and using a return box as a banknote of each type of money is shown. It can also be used as a reflux container.
[0073]
Moreover, although the horizontal-type banknote storage which stores a banknote by standing is demonstrated here, as shown in FIG. 30, it is applicable also to the vertical-type banknote storage which accumulate | stores a banknote horizontally. In addition, as shown in FIG. 30, the press plate 806b may be inclined so that the left end of the banknote is aligned with the floor surface 808 due to gravity. In this case, the push plate 806b moves in the same manner as the push plate 806a, although the inclination direction is different.
Other members in FIG. 30 move in the same manner as described above. As a result, even in the horizontal loading / recovery container 8, by providing the travel restricting means 891 for restricting excessive travel, it is possible to perform accumulation while maintaining alignment with the floor surface 808, and thus stable separation is also possible. Is possible.
The object handled by the apparatus of the present invention can be applied not only to banknotes but also to all paper sheets.
[0074]
【The invention's effect】
If this invention is used, the banknote depositing / withdrawing apparatus and cash automatic transaction apparatus which can mix and isolate | separate the banknote from which a dimension differs can be provided.
