Description

  The present invention relates to an automatic teller machine (CD), a cash deposit machine (ATM), an automatic teller machine such as a bill depositing and dispensing machine for tellers.

  Automatic cash transaction equipment consists of an operation unit that accepts transaction information display and user input, a card processing unit that reads a card inserted by the user, a passbook / receipt processing unit that issues a passbook and transaction statement, The main part is comprised by the journal processing part which records a description, the banknote depositing / withdrawing part and coin depositing / withdrawing part which handle cash, the data transmission control part connected with a host apparatus, and the control part which controls the whole apparatus. And the automatic teller machine comprised in this way is installed in various places, such as a store of a bank, and a convenience store.

  In recent years, automatic teller machines installed in convenience stores and the like, which are mainly operated 24 hours, have been introduced widely in 2003, exceeding 10,000 units. Along with this, 24 hours of operation of automated cash transaction equipment is also increasing. However, since there are usually no staff or maintenance personnel stationed at convenience stores, etc., even if a minor failure occurs in the automatic teller machine, the operation of the automatic teller machine is stopped and the user arrives at the maintenance staff. Have to wait. Therefore, troubles in the automatic teller machine not only impair the convenience for the user, but also increase the operating cost by increasing the number of dispatches of maintenance personnel, and further reduce the operating rate of the automatic teller machine It becomes.

By the way, as a cause of causing troubles in the automatic teller machine, a large percentage of them are troubles in the bill deposit / withdrawal unit, and among them, there are many so-called “empty” troubles in which bills are not dispensed. Has been found through a survey of disability results. In particular, in a new bill (government seal), there is a light sticking by the printing ink of the bill, and since the bill is cut in a state of being stacked from a large base paper, the cutting edge causes a sag on the bill end face. Since separation of banknotes is hindered, it is difficult to separate each banknote, and it is easy to cause an emptying trouble.
As described above, troubles during withdrawal such as emptying troubles will stop the operation of the automatic teller machine, so the convenience and operational cost of the user, and further the automatic teller machine From the viewpoint of the operating rate, it is strongly desired to be reduced.

  Here, as a technique for separating and feeding the bundled sheets one by one, the leading end of the sheet bundle loaded and supported on the sheet stacking means or the side end in the vicinity thereof is arranged in a substantially normal direction of the sheet surface. An elastic body that slides along the sheet stacking means, and the sheet stacking means has a stacking table for stacking a bundle of sheets, and lowers a portion at the leading end of the sheet feeding direction that is a part of the stacking table. There is a technology related to the paper feeding device (see, for example, Patent Document 1). According to such a technique, before separating and feeding, the sheets are bent and loosened to remove the sticking between the sheets constituting the sheet bundle, thereby performing the subsequent separated feeding more reliably. .

Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2003-40476 (page 4-5)

By the way, as in the technique described in Patent Document 1, the front end portion of the sheet bundle in the feeding direction or the side end portion in the vicinity thereof is slid by an elastic body, and the portion at the front end portion of the stacking sheet in the feeding direction is In the method of unraveling the paper by bending it, the paper can be bent, but the elastic body has only to move while abutting the end face of the paper bundle supported by the tip of the loading platform. For this reason, it is difficult to loosen a bundle of sheets in a state where a large number of sheets are stacked and pressed against each other as in an automatic teller machine. That is, when the sheet bundle is slid by the elastic body, the entire sheet loaded below the portion in contact with the elastic body is bent by being integrally pushed by the front end portion of the stacking table. However, since the end faces of the sheet bundle in a state where a large number of sheets are stacked and pressed against each other or the side end portions in the vicinity thereof are merely slid by the elastic body, the sheets are separated from one sheet to another. It ’s not enough to unravel.
Therefore, like the banknote deposit and withdrawal part of the automatic teller machine, when there is a light sticking with the printing ink of banknotes, and the government seals that have a sag at the end of the banknotes are piled up and used In the technique described in Patent Document 1, it is not possible to sufficiently loosen the air between the banknotes, and it is not possible to obtain a sufficient effect in the emptying trouble of the automatic teller machine. .

Moreover, in the banknote depositing / withdrawing part of the automatic teller machine, not only a government seal ticket (new banknote) that is strong and difficult to separate one by one as described above, but also has a crease or wrinkle. There are usually many cases where there are no circulation tickets (used banknotes). Since the occurrence frequency of the emptying trouble is low in the circulation ticket, it is not always necessary to execute a means for reducing the emptying trouble like that for the official seal ticket. Therefore, even when only a circulation ticket is loaded, executing the means for reducing the emptying trouble has a disadvantage that the performance of the automatic teller machine is lowered.
In addition, as a means to reduce emptying troubles in official seals, a method of increasing the paper conveyance power is also conceivable. However, in such a case, the circulation ticket with no stiffness is folded and cannot be withdrawn, There is a new problem of sending, which is not appropriate.

Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the technical problems as described above, and its object is to improve the feeding performance of banknotes in an automatic teller machine.
Another object is to reduce the occurrence frequency of banknote emptying in an automatic teller machine.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide an automatic cash transaction apparatus that can automatically recover from an unsuccessful emptying state without waiting for maintenance personnel even when the banknotes are empty.

Next, the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 14 will be described.
FIG. 2 is a schematic configuration diagram showing the configuration of the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 14. As shown in FIG. 2, the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 14 checks the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 31 which is a bill insertion / receipt port, banknote denomination, front / back, double feed, dirt, damage and the like one by one. , An identification unit 32 that distinguishes a reusable banknote for withdrawal (withdrawal) and a banknote (damaged) that is not suitable for reuse, a holding stacker 33A and a return stacker 33B for temporarily collecting deposited banknotes, Banknote cartridges 35 </ b> A and 35 </ b> B that store banknotes every time, a reject box 34 that stores banknotes that have been judged as rejected or damaged by the identification unit 32, and banknotes that a user forgets in the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 31 are held. The collection box 36 and a belt conveyance path that connects these mechanisms and conveys bills in the direction of the broken line arrows are configured. All operations of the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 14 are controlled by the control unit 38. The banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 14 according to the present embodiment has a configuration in which two banknote cartridges 35A and a banknote cartridge 35B are disposed on the assumption that the apparatus is configured to manually load cash installed in a convenience store. However, a high-performance ATM is provided with a loading cartridge and a plurality of banknote cartridges for performing a bill automatic loading function.

In the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 14, in the case of a deposit transaction, a banknote inserted by the user from the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 31 passes through the identification unit 32. When it is determined that the banknote guided to the identification unit 32 is appropriate, the banknote is stored in the holding stacker 33A. On the other hand, when it is determined that the banknote guided to the identification unit 32 is defective, the banknote with the identification defect is stored in the return stacker 33B. The banknotes stored in the return stacker 33B are returned to the original banknote deposit / withdrawal port 31, and a message prompting the user to re-insert is displayed on the operation panel 16.
In this way, when all the deposited banknotes are read by the identification unit 32, the amount counted by the identification unit 32 is displayed on the operation panel 16, and when the user's confirmation is obtained and the original data of the host is updated. Deposit transaction is completed. Thereafter, the banknotes stored in the holding stacker 33A are stored again in the banknote cartridges 35A and 35B for each denomination based on the identification result via the identification unit 32 again. In addition, when it passes through the identification part 32 again, and banknotes and banknotes other than the withdrawal type are not suitable for reuse, the banknotes are accommodated in the reject box 34.

In the case of a withdrawal transaction, the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 14 feeds a predetermined number of banknotes from the banknote cartridges 35 </ b> A and 35 </ b> B according to the amount specified by the user, and the denomination and number of sheets are determined by the identification unit 32. Further, it is discriminated whether or not it has been double-fed, etc., and is conveyed to the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 31 for withdrawal to the user. At that time, if it is determined that the banknote has been double-fed in the identification unit 32, the double-fed banknote is collected in the reject box 34 or the banknote cartridges 35A and 35B, and supplied again from the banknote cartridges 35A and 35B. Sending is done.
In addition, when the banknote conveyed to the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 31 is not taken out from the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 31 even after a predetermined time elapses, it is determined as “forgotten” by the control of the main control unit 11, and the collection box 36. It is stored in.

Here, the structure of the banknote cartridges 35A and 35B disposed in the banknote depositing and dispensing unit 14 will be described.
3 and 4 are schematic configuration diagrams showing the configuration of the bill cartridge 35A. FIG. 3 is a front view of the bill cartridge 35A, and FIG. 4 is a side view seen from the downstream side in the bill transport direction. 3 and 4 show the configuration of the banknote cartridge 35A, the banknote cartridge 35B has the same configuration. 3 and 4, the bill cartridge 35 </ b> A is a casing 100 as a casing, a press plate 101 as a bill placement member on which bills are stacked, and a bill press member as a bill press member that presses the bills stacked on the press plate 101 from above. A banknote holding lever 102, a pick roller 110 as a banknote feeding member for feeding out the top banknote of the stacked banknotes, a discharge gate 120 for discharging banknotes to the outside, a feed roller 121 and a second sheet for separating and feeding banknotes one by one A stop roller 122 having a function of stopping the subsequent operation, a banking lever 130 as a winding member capable of swinging to a position where the banknotes stacked on the pressing plate 101 enter a predetermined amount of entry into the side surface on the banknote conveyance direction, The carry-in gate 125 for carrying in the inside and the banknote bundle loaded on the pressing plate 101 Is composed of the banknote storage member (not shown) overlaid on.
The banknote cartridges 35A and 35B are configured to be detachable from the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 14, and are removed from the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 14 when loading the banknote cartridges 35A and 35B. It is comprised so that it may mount | wear with the banknote depositing / withdrawing unit 14 again after replenishment.

Next, a normal banknote feeding operation in the banknote cartridge 35A will be described.
The pressing plate 101 is slidably supported on the upper wall 100a and the lower wall 100b of the casing 100 by a vertical column 103 at the end opposite to the banknote conveyance direction. The pressing plate 101 is configured to be slidable in the vertical direction by a driving mechanism (not shown). Moreover, the banknote pressing lever 102 is arrange | positioned at both sides toward the longitudinal direction of a banknote, and is supported by the support | pillar 103 slidably at the edge part on the opposite side to the conveyance direction of a banknote similarly to the press plate 101, respectively. ing. And it is comprised so that it can fix in a free position.
When the cartridge is transported, the bill presser lever 102 is fixed so as to hold the upper part of the bill, and the bill is held between the pressing plate 101 and the bill presser lever 102, and is firmly held so that the bill does not flutter. The
When the banknotes are fed out, first, the pressing plate 101 and the banknote pressing lever 102 start to rise while holding the banknotes, and the banknote pressing lever 102 is held at a position higher than the uppermost banknote, thereby affecting the feeding out. It is controlled so that there is no.

The pick roller 110 is configured such that a rotational shaft 112 of the pick roller 110 is supported on one end of a support lever 111 and a rotational driving force is applied by a drive motor (not shown). On the other hand, the other end of the support lever 111 is supported by a swing shaft 113 fixed to the upper wall 100 a of the casing 100. Further, the support lever 111 is biased downward (in the direction opposite to the clockwise direction in FIG. 3) by a spring, and the pick roller 110 is configured to swing around the swing shaft 113.
Then, the pressing plate 101 and the banknote pressing lever 102 are raised to a position where the uppermost banknote is pressed against the pick roller 110 with respect to the pick roller 110 that is swingably supported around the swing shaft 113. At that time, the position of the pick roller 110 is detected by a sensor (not shown), and when the pick roller 110 reaches a predetermined position, the pressing plate 101 stops rising. In this state, the pick roller 110 is pressed against the uppermost banknote with an appropriate pressing force by the spring. Thereafter, the banknote pressing lever 102 continues to rise to an upper position away from the stacked uppermost banknote and retracts from the uppermost banknote.
The pick roller 110 does not interfere with each other even when a bill is pressed against the pick roller 110 and when the bill roller 110 is raised to an upper position away from the uppermost bill on which the bill pressing lever 102 is stacked.

After the pressing plate 101 stops at an appropriate position and the pick roller 110 is pressed against the uppermost banknote with an appropriate pressing force, the pick roller 110 starts to rotate. Then, the stacked uppermost banknotes are sent to the discharge gate 120 by the conveying force of the pick roller 110.
In the vicinity of the upstream side of the discharge gate 120 to which bills are sent, a feed roller 121 and a stop roller 122 are arranged so as to overlap each other so as to form a gap through which one bill can pass. The stop roller 122 and the feed roller 121 have a shape in which a plurality of ring-shaped roller members are combined, and are arranged so as to bite into the comb teeth. The stop roller 122 incorporates a one-way clutch and has a structure that allows only reverse rotation.
The feed roller 121 rotates at the conveyance speed when the banknote is fed out, and the uppermost banknote is sent to the discharge gate 120, but the stop roller 122 is stopped and works to stop the banknote that has entered. Normally, when only one sheet enters, since the feeding force of the pick roller 110 and the feed roller 121 is large, the bill advances while rubbing the surface of the stop roller 122. However, when two or more banknotes try to enter, the lower banknote receives a larger stop force than the stop roller 122 because it tries to push into a narrow gap set in a gap through which one banknote can pass. . Although the conveyance force of the lower banknote is generated by the frictional force with the banknote stacked on top, a large force is not generated because the friction coefficient is not high. Therefore, it is easily defeated by the stopping force of the stop roller 122, and the lower banknote is pressed in front of the stop roller 122. Therefore, banknotes are fed out from the discharge gate 120 one by one.

When the banknote is fed out from the discharge gate 120, the fed banknote is transported by the transport roller 37 (see FIG. 2) on the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 14 arranged outside the banknote cartridge 35A. In accordance with the timing, the driving of the pick roller 110 is stopped, and the pick roller 110 is idled by the one-way clutch incorporated in the pick roller 110. Therefore, the pick roller 110 stops in a state where it abuts on the next bill under the conveyed bill, and the next bill is braked by the pick roller 110 that is stopped. Thus, the occurrence of carry-in is suppressed.
Note that as the banknotes are fed out and the amount of banknotes stacked on the pressing plate 101 decreases, the pressing plate 101 is sequentially pushed up, and the pick roller 110 is kept at a predetermined position from the pick roller 110 to the uppermost surface. It is controlled so that the pressing force against the bill is maintained at an appropriate value.

In this way, when the stacked banknote is a used circulation ticket or a new bill that has passed through a machine such as an ATM several times, the banknote is normally fed out normally from the banknote cartridges 35A and 35B. However, if the stacked banknotes are unused, sealed official tickets issued from the Bank of Japan to each bank, the banknotes may be lightly stuck to each other due to the printing ink of the banknotes, Therefore, it is difficult to separate the banknotes one by one due to the fact that the cutting blade has a sag on the end face of the banknotes. If operating environment factors such as temperature and humidity are further added to this, the so-called “empty” in which bills are not fed out easily occurs in the bill cartridges 35 </ b> A and 35 </ b> B during the above-described feeding operation.
When such a cash out occurs, if the automatic teller machine is installed in a convenience store where maintenance personnel are not normally stationed, the operation of the automatic teller machine will be suspended until the maintenance worker arrives. It becomes. For this reason, the failure of banknotes not only impairs convenience for users, but also increases operating costs by increasing the number of dispatches of maintenance personnel, and further reduces the operating rate of the automated teller machine. Become.

Therefore, in the banknote cartridges 35A and 35B according to the present embodiment, the side of the banknotes stacked on the pressing plate 101 on the conveyance direction side has a gap between the stacked banknotes so that air can enter each. A whirl lever 130 is provided to separate the two.
The winding lever 130 is made of resin or metal, and is formed in a block shape or a shape formed by bending a sheet metal so that the entire side portion of the banknote can be lifted (about several tens of mm). The upper end 130a is rotatably supported on the side wall 100c of the casing 100 on the banknote conveyance direction side, and the lower end 130b can be rotated to a position having a predetermined amount of entry and fixed in that state. It is configured as follows. That is, the picking lever 130 is in any one of a retreat position where the lower end 130b is not in contact with the stacked banknotes and a contact position where the lower end 130b is in contact with the stacked banknotes with a predetermined amount of entry. It is configured so that it can be set to.
In addition, it is preferable that the edge of the lower end 130b of the winding lever 130 on the side in contact with the bill is formed of a curved surface so as not to damage the end of the bill due to contact with the bill.

Next, the operation of the banknote cartridge 35 </ b> A when a banknote is unpaid during the banknote feeding operation will be described.
At the time of normal banknote feeding operation in the banknote cartridge 35A described above, the winding lever 130 is placed at a retracted position that does not come into contact with the stacked banknotes, and is arranged so as not to hinder the movement of banknotes when the press plate 101 is raised and lowered. ing.
However, during the bill feeding operation, when it is detected by the bill cartridge outlet sensor (not shown) that the bill cartridge 35A has been unpaid, the control unit 38 in the bill depositing / dispensing unit 14 performs a series of bill feeding retry operations. Do. If the emptying failure is not resolved even if the retry operation is performed and the banknote is not fed out, the banknote feeding operation is interrupted and the banknote handling operation is started.
When the banknote rolling operation is started, first, the pressing plate 101 on which the banknote bundle is placed is lowered to a predetermined position, and at the same time, the banknote pressing lever 102 that has been retracted from the uppermost banknote moves the upper part of the uppermost banknote. The banknote is lowered so as to be pressed, and the banknote is clamped by the pressing plate 101 and the banknote pressing lever 102, and is firmly held so that the banknote does not flutter. Next, the winding lever 130 is rotated and fixed to a contact position where the lower end 130b of the winding lever 130 contacts the banknote loaded with a predetermined amount of entry. The winding lever 130 may be fixedly entered and held in the banknote bundle with the upper end 130a as the center of rotation, or the amount of entry of the rolling lever 130 is adjusted by a spring as the banknote bundle moves up and down. It can also be configured to.

  Thereafter, the pressing plate 101 and the banknote pressing lever 102 holding the banknote start descending while maintaining the state of holding the banknote bundle. The banknotes sandwiched between the pressing plate 101 and the banknote holding lever 102 are lifted while being rubbed on the side surface in the transport direction by the rolling lever 130 that contacts with a predetermined amount of entry in the middle of lowering. It is burned. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining banknotes being rolled by the rolling lever 130 when the banknotes are lowered. As shown in FIG. 5, the entire banknote is lowered as the pressing plate 101 and the banknote holding lever 102 are lowered. On the side face on the banknote conveyance direction side, the banknote is lowered by the winding lever 130 when the banknote is lowered. Temporarily dammed up. At that time, since the banknote pressing lever 102 presses the stacked banknotes leaving a predetermined area on the conveyance direction side, the movement of the area on the banknote conveyance direction side is not restricted. The area on the direction side can be displaced upward. Therefore, the area | region of the conveyance direction side of a banknote will bend | curve when it raises relatively by the winding lever 130. FIG. And the area | region of the conveyance direction side of the banknote once bent by the banknote pressing lever 102 is returned to the original flat state, while being scattered every one sheet with the whole fall of a banknote. .

  FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining a state in which the area on the banknote conveyance direction side is scattered by the winding lever 130 when the banknote descends. As shown in FIG. 6A, among the banknotes stacked on the pressing plate 101, an area on the side of the banknote conveyance direction located above the winding lever 130 is lowered by the winding lever 130 when the banknote is lowered. It is temporarily dammed and is displaced upward (bent). Further, when the banknote is lowered, as shown in FIG. 6B, the banknote at the bottom of the banknote stopped by the winding lever 130 is restrained by the winding lever 130 due to the effect of the banknote and gravity. It will come off from. And as shown in FIG.6 (c), the loose banknote is returned to the original flat state, and is piled up on the uppermost surface of the banknote located in the lower side rather than the winding lever 130. FIG. Subsequently, in the same manner, as shown in FIG. 6D, the next banknote is released from the restraint by the rolling lever 130 and returned to the original flat state. Such an operation is sequentially repeated as the entire banknote descends, and a bending operation and a breaking operation are sequentially performed on all banknotes positioned above the winding lever 130.

  In this way, as the entire banknote descends, the banking lever 130 is brought into contact with the side surface on the banknote transport direction side with a predetermined amount of entry, so that the banknote positioned above the banking lever 130 can be made. On the other hand, the area on the banknote conveyance direction side is bent, and the banknote conveyance direction side is released from the restraint of the lever 130 by the action of the banknote and gravity, and each sheet is separated and conveyed downward. . At that time, at least in an area not pressed by the banknote pressing lever 102 on the transport direction side, the overlapping banknotes are separated to such an extent that a gap is generated between the banknotes and air enters. Thereby, the restriction | limiting between the banknotes by the light sticking produced between the banknotes by the printing ink of a banknote and the sticking resulting from the sagging of the banknote end surface by a cutting blade will be open | released. Moreover, since the banknotes piled up by their own weight, a thin air layer is pinched | interposed between banknotes, and the sticking by printing ink is delayed.

That is, in the banknote cartridge 35A of the present embodiment, not only the banknote is simply bent by the rolling lever 130 but also the entire banknote is lowered while the rolling lever 130 is brought into contact with the side surface on the banknote conveyance direction side. The bills are separated one by one. At that time, in addition to being able to peel off the sticking due to the sag of the banknote edge to some extent by bending the banknote, banknotes with printing ink peculiar to government seals not seen in ordinary printing paper etc. Even for light sticking that occurs between each other, by disposing one bill one by one and inserting an air layer between the bills, at least a region that is not pressed by the bill pressing lever 102 on the transport direction side Then, it becomes possible to fully peel one by one of the banknotes. Therefore, since the friction between the banknotes that overlap one another is reduced, even a government sealed ticket can be fed out one by one by the conveying force of the pick roller 110.
The area where the pressing plate 101 holding the banknote and the banknote pressing lever 102 descend is sufficient only for the area where the side surface of the upper layer portion including the uppermost surface of the banknotes stacked on the pressing plate 101 contacts the rolling lever 130. is there.

  After the banknote handling operation in the banknote cartridge 35A is completed, the winding lever 130 is separated from the contact position where the lower end 130b contacts the stacked banknote and contacts the banknote stacked with the lower end 130b. Rotate to the retracted position. Then, the pressing plate 101 and the banknote pressing lever 102 start to rise again while holding the banknote, and the uppermost banknote is pressed by the pick roller 110 with an appropriate pressing force. On the other hand, the bill presser lever 102 further rises to an upper position away from the stacked uppermost banknote and retracts from the uppermost banknote. Thereafter, the bill feeding operation is resumed.

Here, FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a flow of operation of the bill cartridge 35A.
When receiving the instruction to start the bill feeding operation from the control unit 11, the control unit 38 of the bill depositing / dispensing unit 14 raises the pressing plate 101 while holding the bill between the bill pressing lever 102 (step S101). Then, the pressing plate 101 is raised to a position where the uppermost banknote is pressed against the pick roller 110 with appropriate pressure. At that time, the control unit 38 detects the position of the pick roller 110 by a sensor (not shown) and determines whether or not the pick roller 110 has reached an appropriate position (step S102). If it is determined in step S102 that the pick roller 110 has not reached the proper position, the press plate 101 is further raised, and the press plate 101 is stopped when the proper position is reached.

Next, the feeding operation of the banknotes stacked on the pressing plate 101 is started (step S103). During the feeding operation, whether or not the banknote cartridge 35 </ b> A is idle is constantly monitored by a banknote cartridge outlet sensor (not shown) of the banknote depositing / dispensing unit 14. At that time, when it is detected in step S104 that the banknote cartridge 35A has been discharged, the control unit 38 interrupts the banknote feeding operation and performs a series of banknote feeding retry operations (step S105).
Next, it is determined in step 106 whether or not the bill can be normally fed by the bill feeding retry operation. If it is normal, the bill feeding operation (step S103) is continued. If it cannot be paid out normally even after the retry operation, a bill-paying operation is executed (step S107).
When the banknote handling operation is completed, the pressing plate 101 starts to rise again while holding the banknote between the banknote pressing lever 102 (step S101). Then, the bill feeding operation is resumed.
If it is not detected in step S104 that the banknote cartridge 35A has been unpaid, the banknote feeding operation is continued as it is without executing the banknote handling operation (step S103). And bill feeding operation | movement is continued until delivery of a required banknote is completed (step S103-step S108).

It should be noted that, when the banknote handling operation is executed in step S107, whether or not the occurrence of the emptying in step S104 is detected immediately after the banknote handling operation in step S107 is executed (second time). If it is determined that it is immediately after the banknote handling operation is executed, the amount of entry when the banking lever 130 contacts the loaded banknote is set to be deeper. It is also possible to change the setting conditions when carrying out banknotes such as making the banknote descend stride longer. For example, the amount of entry of the winding lever 130 at the time of a normal banking operation is set to 2 mm, and emptying occurs again at the time of banknote feeding operation immediately after the banking operation is executed. In some cases, the entry amount of the whirl lever 130 can be set as large as 3 mm.
Further, in the banknote cartridge 35A of the present embodiment, the winding lever 130 is disposed on the side portion on the banknote conveyance direction side. Similarly, the side portion opposite to the banknote conveyance direction side, or the remaining two sides. It is also possible to adopt a configuration arranged in the above.

  By the way, in order to perform the bill feeding operation more reliably, it is also effective to set the overlapping bills so that their positions are slightly shifted from each other in such a manner that the upper bill protrudes in the transport direction. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, the pressing plate 140 is disposed behind the banknotes stacked on the pressing plate 101 (rear side with respect to the transport direction) so as to be swingable with the lower end 140a as a swing center. The upper layer of the stacked banknotes is pushed forward in the conveying direction by swinging the pressing plate 140 as a paper sheet pushing member in the direction of the banknotes in synchronization with the whirling operation, and pressing the upper layer part of the stacked banknotes. A predetermined number (for example, about 10 sheets from the top surface) of the parts may be configured to be displaced forward in the transport direction.

Specifically, in the banknote cartridge 35 </ b> A shown in FIG. 8, when the banknote handling operation is started, the entire banknote descends with the lowering of the pressing plate 101 and the banknote pressing lever 102, and the side surface on the conveyance direction side is At the same time, it is swung so as to be pushed forward in the conveying direction with respect to the upper layer portion of the banknote on which the pressing plate 140 is loaded. . Thereby, in the upper part of the stacked banknotes, the upper banknotes are displaced forward in the transport direction. For this reason, the banking lever 130 bends the banknotes to peel off the sticking due to the sagging of the banknote end face to some extent, and at the same time, the banknote holding lever 102 on the transport direction side is at least separated. In the area where the sheet is not pressed by the sheet, it is possible to sufficiently separate the banknotes one by one. In addition to such an action, the entire surface of the banknote is shifted by the pressing plate 140. An area other than the area not pressed by the area 102 can be peeled off, and the pick-up by the pick roller 110 can be made more reliable with respect to the official seal.
In addition, the deviation | shift amount in the banknote by the pressing plate 140 is enough even if it is about several mm in the uppermost banknote.

In order to perform the bill feeding operation more reliably, it is also effective to carry out bill billing by the handing lever 130 while tilting the bill with respect to the horizontal plane or twisting the bill in the transport direction. FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 are schematic configuration diagrams of a bill cartridge 35A showing a configuration for throwing a bill while tilting it with respect to a horizontal plane or twisting it with respect to the transport direction when the bill is rolled by the rolling lever 130. FIGS. 9 and 10 are side views of the banknote cartridge 35A as viewed from the downstream side in the banknote conveyance direction.
In the banknote cartridge 35A shown in FIG. 9, two winding levers 131 and 132 are respectively arranged on both sides with respect to the banknote transport direction. In this case, the banking levers 131 and 132 are in the normal direction of the paper surface of the banknote. Are arranged in parallel. The banknote cartridge 35A shown in FIG. 9 is characterized in that the winding lever 131 and the winding lever 132 perform a two-time winding operation for sequentially banknotes.

That is, when the banknote handling operation is started, the banknote cartridge 35A shown in FIG. 9 first comes into contact with a banknote loaded with a handling lever 131 disposed on the right side in the figure with a predetermined amount of entry. Rotate to position. At that time, the winding lever 132 disposed on the left side in the drawing stands by at a retracted position where it does not come into contact with the stacked banknotes. Subsequently, the pressing plate 101 holding the banknote and the banknote pressing lever 102 start to descend. And the banknote clamped by the press plate 101 and the banknote pressing lever 102 is only the left side (the side on the right side in the figure) toward the conveyance direction of the side surface on the conveyance direction side by the rolling lever 131 during the lowering. Will be asked. FIG. 9 shows a state in which the left side portion is being squeezed in the transport direction by the squeezing lever 131.
After the left side of the side surface in the transport direction is rolled by the picking lever 131, the picking lever 131 returns to the retracted position where it does not come into contact with the bill, and the pressing plate 101 and the bill pressing lever 102 are raised. Then, it returns to the starting point position when making the banknotes. Subsequently, the winding lever 132 disposed on the left side in the drawing rotates to a contact position where it comes into contact with a stacked banknote with a predetermined amount of entry. At that time, the winding lever 131 arranged on the right side in the drawing stands by at a retracted position where it does not come into contact with the stacked banknotes. And the banknote clamped by the press board 101 and the banknote pressing lever 102 is only the right side (the side part on the left side in the figure) toward the conveyance direction of the side surface on the conveyance direction side by the rolling lever 132 during the lowering. Will be asked.

  In this way, when the winding lever 131 and the winding lever 132 perform the two winding operations for sequentially banknotes, the side surfaces on the left and right sides in the conveying direction are bent upward and are inclined with respect to the horizontal plane. It will be. Therefore, since the banknote can be bent in two directions, the effect of peeling off the sticking caused by the sagging of the banknote end face can be further increased. In addition, since the bills are separated one by one by the operation of lowering the bills, at least in the region where the bills are not pressed by the bill pressing lever 102 on the transport direction side, each one of the bills is more fully It can be peeled off. Therefore, even if it is a government sealed ticket, it becomes possible to carry out each sheet more reliably by the conveying force of the pick roller 110.

  Next, in the banknote cartridge 35A shown in FIG. 10, the two winding levers 131 and 132 are disposed on both sides with respect to the banknote transport direction. It is characterized in that it is arranged to be inclined inward with respect to the line direction. Then, in the banknote cartridge 35A shown in FIG. 10, the whirl lever 131 and the whirl lever 132 simultaneously whisper.

That is, in the bill cartridge 35A shown in FIG. 10, when the bill-handling operation is started, first, the pick-up lever 131 arranged on the right side in the drawing and the pick-up lever 132 arranged on the left side in the drawing are simultaneously stacked. It rotates to the contact position where it contacts the bill with a predetermined amount of entry. Subsequently, the pressing plate 101 holding the banknote and the banknote pressing lever 102 start to descend. And the banknote pinched by the press board 101 and the banknote pressing lever 102 is rolled up by the both sides of the side surface by the side of the conveyance direction by the handing lever 131 and the handing lever 132 in the middle of a fall.
At that time, since the winding lever 131 and the winding lever 132 are both inclined inward with respect to the normal direction of the paper surface of the banknote, the U-shape in a state where both sides of the banknote are relatively lifted. It will be beaten while bending.

  In this way, when the whirling lever 131 and the whirling lever 132 perform the whirling operation while inclining inward with respect to the normal direction of the paper surface of the banknote, the side surface on the transport direction side is tilted and bent in a U shape. Therefore, the effect of peeling off the sticking due to the sagging of the bill end face can be further increased. In addition, since the bills are separated one by one by the operation of lowering the bills, at least in the region where the bills are not pressed by the bill pressing lever 102 on the transport direction side, each one of the bills is more fully It can be peeled off. Therefore, even if it is a government sealed ticket, it becomes possible to carry out each sheet more reliably by the conveying force of the pick roller 110.

Further, in order to perform the bill feeding operation more reliably, the pick roller 110 is lowered until it comes into contact with the uppermost bank note when the banknote handling operation is performed together with the handling of the bill by the picking lever 130, and the conveying force by the pick roller 110. It is also effective to perform a whispering action while acting. FIG. 11 is a schematic configuration diagram of a banknote cartridge 35 </ b> A showing a configuration in which a conveying force by the pick roller 110 is applied when banknotes are rolled by the winding lever 130.
In the bill cartridge 35 </ b> A shown in FIG. 11, a support lever 111 that supports the pick roller 110 is supported by a lift lever 114. That is, the swing shaft 113 of the support lever 111 is supported by one end of the lift lever 114, and the other end of the lift lever 114 is swingably supported by the upper wall 100 a of the casing 100 by the support shaft 115. . During the banknote handling operation, the lift lever 114 lowers the support lever 111 that supports the pick roller 110 by a drive mechanism (not shown), and presses the pick roller 110 against the uppermost banknote with a predetermined pressing force. It is said.

  When the banknote handling operation is started, the banknote cartridge 35A shown in FIG. 11 first rotates to a contact position where the banking lever 130 contacts the banknote loaded with a predetermined amount of entry. At the same time, the lift lever 114 lowers the support lever 111 that supports the pick roller 110 by a drive mechanism (not shown), and abuts the pick roller 110 to a position where it is pressed against the uppermost banknote with a predetermined pressing force. And the banknote pinched by the press board 101 and the banknote pressing lever 102 is rolled in the side by the side of the conveyance direction by the rolling lever 130 in the middle of a fall. At that time, the lift lever 114 lowers the pick roller 110 so as to maintain a predetermined pressing force on the uppermost banknote in accordance with the lowering of the pressing plate 101 and the banknote pressing lever 102. Then, the pick roller 110 rotates by a predetermined angle so as to send out a predetermined amount (for example, about 1 mm) of the banknote toward the transport direction with respect to the uppermost banknote.

  Thus, at the same time that the winding lever 130 performs the winding operation on the banknote, the pick roller 110 applies a transport force so as to feed the banknote by a predetermined amount toward the transport direction with respect to the uppermost banknote. Of the stacked banknotes, the banknotes located at the upper part are simultaneously subjected to a shearing force in the transport direction between the banknotes, and not only the area not pressed by the banknote pressing lever 102 on the transport direction side but also the banknotes The effect of peeling off the sticking between bills can be further increased over the entire surface. Further, since the banknotes are moved one by one by the rolling lever 130 by the operation of lowering the banknotes, it is possible to peel the banknotes one by one more sufficiently. In this manner, the shearing force due to the conveying force of the pick roller 110 is added to the whirling operation by the whirling lever 130, so that even a government sealed ticket can be more reliably fed out one by one.

  As described above, in the automatic teller machine according to the present embodiment, in the banknote cartridges 35A and 35B, the gap between the stacked banknotes is disposed on the side of the banknotes stacked on the pressing plate 101 on the conveyance direction side. A separating lever 130 is provided that separates them to the extent that air enters and air enters. Then, the rolling lever 130 is rotated to a contact position where it comes into contact with the stacked banknotes with a predetermined amount of entry, and the pressing plate 101 and the banknote holding lever 102 holding the banknotes are lowered to lower the banknotes. The side of the conveyance direction side is crawled.

By configuring in this way, the winding lever 130 can not only bend the banknote, but can also separate the banknotes one by one by the rolling lever 130. Therefore, in addition to peeling off the sticking due to the sagging of the banknote edge to some extent by bending the banknote, it is generated between banknotes with printing ink peculiar to government seals not seen in ordinary printing paper etc. Even for light sticking, the bills can be sufficiently separated from each other by separating the bills one by one. As a result, the friction between the banknotes stacked one above the other is reduced, so that even a government sealed ticket can be fed one by one by the conveying force of the pick roller 110, and the banknote feeding performance can be improved. The occurrence of emptying can be effectively suppressed. In addition, the circulation ticket other than the official seal ticket is also effective for an obstacle that becomes empty because the banknote is stuck due to adhesion of an adhesive or the like.
In particular, automatic cash transaction equipment loads not only strong official seals but also circulation tickets that are not stiff due to creases and wrinkles, so if you simply increase the paper feeding power, Although there may be cases where the distribution ticket does not fold and cannot be withdrawn, or in the case of double feeding, the automatic cash transaction apparatus of the present embodiment does not need to increase the paper feeding force, so the distribution ticket is also stable. You can pay out.

  Therefore, even when the automatic teller machine is usually installed in a convenience store where maintenance personnel are not stationed, when the cash dispenser is emptied, until the maintenance worker arrives In addition, since it is possible to automatically recover from the emptying trouble in the automatic teller machine, the time during which the automatic teller machine is stopped can be reduced. As a result, the convenience of the user can be improved, the operation cost can be reduced, and the operating rate of the automatic teller machine can be increased.

  Examples of use of the present invention include application to automatic teller machines such as cash dispensers (CDs), cash deposit machines (ATMs), banknote depositing and dispensing machines for tellers, and issuance of printed materials such as securities, checks and gift certificates The present invention can be applied to a printing apparatus such as a copying machine such as an electrophotographic system or an inkjet system, a printer, or a fax machine.
