Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[First Embodiment]
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a configuration of a paper sheet handling apparatus according to the first embodiment.

The paper sheet handling apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment includes a loading unit 2, a feeding unit 3 and a paper sheet storage unit 4 that are formed in order from the front side of the housing 6 to the opposite back side, and a temporary storage. Part 5.
The housing | casing 6 is a flame | frame of the apparatus which handles paper sheets, such as a banknote, such as ATM and a ticket machine, for example. The housing 6 has a shutter 7 on the front side, and the opening and closing of the opening 8 is controlled by the shutter 7. The front side is a surface on which the user operates, and for example, in the case of ATM, a display screen, an operation unit, and the like are formed in addition to the opening 8 into which a bill is inserted.

  The input unit 2 is formed on the front side of the housing 6 and is adjacent to an opening 8 where the shutter 7 is opened and released when a paper sheet is input. A temporary storage unit 5 is disposed in the input unit 2 at least when a paper sheet is input.

  The temporary storage unit 5 temporarily holds paper sheets. The temporary storage unit 5 has a side wall 5a for holding the paper sheet in a predetermined position, and the paper sheet is arranged along the depth direction from the front side to the back side of the housing 6 and the long side direction of the paper sheet. Hold. The temporary storage unit 5 has, for example, a tray shape on which paper sheets are placed. The temporary storage unit 5 is disposed in the input unit 2 when a paper sheet is input, and at least a part of the temporary storage unit 5 is exposed by the opening 8. Thereby, it becomes possible to put paper sheets into the temporary storage unit 5 from the opening 8.

The feeding unit 3 is formed between the input unit 2 and the paper sheet storage unit 4. When the paper sheet is input, the paper sheet held by the temporary storage unit 5 disposed in the input unit 2 is transferred to the paper sheet. The storage unit 4 is fed out.
The paper sheet storage unit 4 stores the paper sheet fed from the feeding unit 3.

Processing when a paper sheet is loaded in the paper sheet handling apparatus 1 having such a configuration will be described.
In the housing 6, the shutter 7 is opened when the user inserts a paper sheet, and the opening 8 appears in front of the user. The opening 8 exposes at least a part of the temporary storage unit 5 disposed in the input unit 2 adjacent to the opening 8, so that the user can input paper sheets into the temporary storage unit 5. The input paper sheet is held at a predetermined position by the side wall 5 a of the temporary storage unit 5. The temporary storage unit 5 holds the paper sheet such that the long side direction of the paper sheet is along the depth direction of the housing 6. For example, the temporary storage 5 is arranged such that the long side direction is substantially parallel to the depth direction of the housing 6.

  Thus, since the temporary storage part 5 is arrange | positioned so that the depth direction may become long, the user who observes from the outer side of the opening part 8 can visually recognize at least one end of the temporary storage part 5. FIG. As a result, the position of the temporary storage unit 5 can be easily confirmed when a paper sheet is inserted, and the convenience for the user can be improved. At the same time, since the paper sheets are also held so that the depth direction becomes longer, for example, when the temporary storage unit 5 is viewed from the outside of the opening 8, it is easy to visually recognize one end of the paper sheets. Further, by arranging the temporary storage unit 5 in this way, the width of the opening 8 may be determined in accordance with the short side direction of the paper sheet, and the opening part having the width in the long side direction of the paper sheet is determined. Compared with the conventional pocket type formed, the space of the opening 8 can be reduced, and the paper sheet handling apparatus 1 can be downsized.

Thus, the paper sheets held in the temporary storage unit 5 are fed to the paper sheet storage unit 4 by the feeding unit 3 and stored in the paper sheet storage unit 4.
Since the paper sheets held in the temporary storage unit 5 are in a predetermined position by the side wall 5a, the feeding unit 3 can easily feed the paper sheets. Thereby, it is possible to reduce a jam that occurs in the slot type.

  Thus, in the paper sheet handling apparatus 1, since the user can insert the paper sheet while visually recognizing the paper sheet, the convenience of the user can be improved. Further, although it can be applied to the space-saving housing 6, it is possible to reduce a failure such as a jam as compared with the conventional slot type.

  Next, the banknote processing unit 140 will be described. The banknote processing unit 140 is a unit that processes the delivery of banknotes during deposit and withdrawal transactions, and is an embodiment of the paper sheet handling apparatus 1 of the first embodiment. In FIG. 4, the front shutter is omitted.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of the configuration of the banknote processing unit of the second embodiment. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the banknote processing unit 40 shown in FIG. 2 in the front-back direction.
The banknote processing unit 140 includes an insertion unit 41, a feeding unit 42, and a banknote storage unit 43 in order from the front side to the back side of the ATM 10, and the operation of each unit is controlled by the control unit 110.

  The input part 41 is formed in the front of ATM10, and has an opening part in the front side. The opening is closed by a shutter formed on the front side of the ATM 10 housing when banknotes are not delivered. When delivering the banknote, the shutter is opened, and the inside of the insertion unit 41 is exposed from the opening. At this time, a tray unit 410 that accumulates banknotes is disposed in the insertion unit 41. At least a part of the tray part 410 is exposed through the opening, and a part including one end of the tray part 410 can be visually recognized from the outside. Further, the tray portion 410 is inclined with a predetermined inclination angle (an angle represented by an inclination θ in FIG. 4) with respect to the installation surface of the ATM 10 by the tray support portion 441. Thereby, the bottom surface of the tray part 410 forms an upward gradient from the front side toward the back side. The tray unit 410 is an embodiment of the temporary storage unit 5 of the first embodiment.

  The feeding portion 42 is formed adjacent to the feeding portion 41 and is formed so that the tray portion 410 can move between the feeding portion 41 and the feeding portion 42. For example, when the tray unit 410 moves from the loading unit 41 to the feeding unit 42, the side wall that closes the space between the loading unit 41 and the feeding unit 42 is opened. The feeding unit 42 includes a feeding roller 421 that feeds the banknotes 80 accumulated in the tray unit 410 b moved to the feeding unit 42 to the banknote storage unit 43.

  The banknote storage unit 43 includes transport rollers 431a, 431b, 431c, 431d, 431e, and 431f that transport the banknote 80 fed from the feeding unit 42 along the transport path 432, and a storage 433 that stores banknotes.

  In the banknote handling unit 140, a slide mechanism that moves the tray unit 410 across the input unit 41 and the supply unit 42 is formed below the input unit 41 and the supply unit 42. The banknote processing unit 140 is provided with a guide rail 442 that extends in the depth direction of the ATM 10 across the input unit 41 and the feeding unit 42, and holds the tray unit 410 supported by the tray support unit 441.

The slide mechanism shown in FIG. 4 is an example, and any mechanism that can move the tray unit 410 across the input unit 41 and the feeding unit 42 may be used.

  Next, the tray unit 410 will be described. FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the tray portion of the second embodiment. FIG. 5A is a diagram showing the tray portion before banknote depositing, and FIG. 5B is a diagram showing the tray portion after banknote depositing.

  In the tray portion 410 a, a banknote pressing lever 412, a guide 413, and a mark 414 are formed on a tray main body 411 having a side wall that holds the banknote 80. In the following description, for convenience, the side on which the banknote pressing lever 412 is formed will be referred to as the upper side, and the tray portion 410a will be described as having an upward slope toward the upper side.

  The banknote pressing lever 412 is attached to the tray body 411 so as to be rotatable, for example. The example shown in FIG. 5 is in a state where the banknote pressing lever 412 is not pressing the banknote 80 and is arranged at a position that opens an area where the banknote 80 is accumulated. When the banknotes 80 are accumulated, the banknote pressing lever 412 rotates in accordance with an instruction from the control unit 110, and the banknotes 80 are pressed from above.

The guides 413 are formed at, for example, the four corners of the area where the banknotes 80 are accumulated, and guide and hold the banknotes 80 at predetermined positions.
The mark 414 shows the approximate position where the banknote 80 is placed for use as a guide when the user inserts the banknote 80.

  When the user inserts the banknote 80, as shown in FIG. 5B, the banknote 80 is accumulated in the tray portion 410b. When the accumulation of the banknote 80 is completed, the banknote pressing lever 412 rotates and presses the surface of the banknote 80.

  Although FIG. 5 shows a configuration in which the banknote pressing lever 412 is arranged at the upper part of the tray part 410a, the banknote pressing lever 412 may be formed anywhere such as the lower part or the side surface of the tray part 410a. When viewed from the opening, the banknote pressing lever 412 is preferably formed at a position that does not hinder the visibility of the tray section 410a and the banknote 80.

Operation | movement of ATM10 which has the banknote processing unit 140 of such a structure is demonstrated using FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 2, in the ATM 10, when the banknote 80 is not handled, the banknote processing unit 140 is closed by a shutter so that the inside cannot be seen from the outside. When the user operates the customer operation unit 20 or the numeric keypad input unit 50 to select a process that involves handling the banknote 80, the control section 110 starts handling the banknote 80. In addition, below, the process in case the banknote 80 is received | paid by ATM10 among the handling processes of the banknote 80 is demonstrated.

  First, the operation of the banknote processing unit 140 before and after deposit receipt of the banknote 80 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing the state of the banknote processing unit before and after deposit receipt of banknotes. FIG. 6A is a cross-sectional view of the ATM 10 including a banknote processing unit before receipt of deposit, and FIG. In FIG. 6, the slide mechanism shown in FIG. 4 is omitted.

  6A shows a state before the receipt of the banknote 80 shown in FIG. 6A, in which the user has not selected the handling process of the banknote 80, and before the control unit 110 accepts the insertion of the banknote 80. Yes. Before the deposit of the banknote 80 is received, the shutter 46 formed on the front face of the casing of the ATM 10 is closed, and the opening of the banknote processing unit 140 is closed by the shutter 46. Further, the tray unit 410 is moved to the input unit 41 by a slide mechanism, and is disposed at a position where at least a part of the tray unit 410 can be visually recognized by the user when the shutter 46 is opened.

From this state, the control unit 110 accepts the deposit of the banknote 80 and opens the shutter 46 of the banknote processing unit 140.
In the state after deposit acceptance of the banknote 80 shown in FIG. 6 (B), the shutter 46 moves to the upper front of the ATM 10, and the opening portion of the insertion portion 41 is opened. Thereby, at least an upper part of the tray unit 410 is exposed to the outside, and the banknote 80 can be inserted into the tray unit 410.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the state of the tray portion visually recognized from the outside when banknote depositing is accepted. In the state of FIG. 6B, the tray unit 410 can be visually recognized in this way from the user.
The opening 460 is an area opened by the shutter 46, and a portion that does not overlap the tray 410 is indicated by hatching in order to be distinguished from the tray 410. As shown in FIG. 7, the tray unit 410 is arranged in the input unit 41 with the upper portion of the tray main body 411 being visible to the user. The user inserts the banknote 80 into the tray unit 410 using the mark 414 as a guide. The tray unit 410 is arranged so as to have an upward slope upward. For example, even when the user inserts the banknote 80 above the landmark 414, the tray section 410 is marked by the upward slope and the guide 413. The banknote 80 can be guided to a predetermined position indicated by 414. Note that the bill presser lever 412 is set above the tray body 411 and does not hinder the user's field of view.

  As described above, the banknote processing unit 140 can insert the banknote 80 while visually checking the position where the banknote 80 is placed and the state of the banknote 80. Moreover, since the banknote 80 is inserted by an operation of placing the banknote 80 on the tray unit 410, the banknote 80 can be stably inserted regardless of the state of the banknote 80. For example, depending on the user's operation or the state of the banknote 80, such as a case where the user inserts the banknote 80 too far into the slot-type slot, or the feeding roller cannot feed the banknote 80 due to wrinkles of the banknote 80 Problems that occur can be reduced.

  Moreover, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, in the banknote processing unit 140, the long side direction of the banknote 80 is the same direction as the depth direction of the ATM 10. Hereinafter, such a way of placing the banknote 80 will be referred to as vertical placement. On the other hand, most of the pocket types are placed horizontally so that the long side direction of the banknote 80 intersects the depth direction of the ATM 10, and the side wall of the pocket and the surface of the banknote 80 are placed facing each other. At this time, the position of the banknote 80 is confirmed on the side of the banknote 80. Thus, in the banknote processing unit 140, the width orthogonal to the depth direction of the ATM 10 can be reduced as compared with the conventional pocket type, so that space can be saved. Moreover, since the banknote 80 can be put on the tray part 410 while confirming the position on the surface of the banknote 80, the banknote 80 can be inserted more stably.

Next, the operation of the banknote processing unit 140 after the banknote 80 is deposited in the tray unit 410 will be described.
FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view showing the state of the banknote processing unit when banknotes are deposited and after the banknotes are deposited. 8A shows the state of the banknote processing unit 140 when banknotes are deposited, and FIG. 8B shows the state of the banknote processing unit 140 when banknotes are deposited. In FIG. 8, the slide mechanism shown in FIG. 4 is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, when the banknote is deposited, the banknote pressing lever 412 is disposed above the tray unit 410 and does not obstruct the field of view when the tray unit 410 is viewed from the opening 460. . In this state, the user places the banknote 80 on the tray unit 410 using the guide 413 and the mark 414 of the tray unit 410 as a guide.

  When the user who has finished the deposit notifies the end of the deposit via the customer operation unit 20 or the like, or when a predetermined time has elapsed since the shutter 46 was opened, the control unit 110 considers that the deposit has been completed, and the next Proceed to the next step.

  As shown in FIG. 8B, the control unit 110 closes the shutter 46 when detecting that the deposit has been completed. Further, the banknote pressing lever 412 is operated so as to press the accumulated banknote 80 from above. Thus, the banknote 80 can be more stably accommodated in the tray part 410 by pressing the banknote 80 from the upper part of the banknote surface by the banknote pressing lever 412. Thus, after stabilizing the state of the banknote 80 in the tray part 410, the control part 110 moves the tray part 410 arrange | positioned at the insertion part 41 to the feeding part 42 by the slide mechanism shown in FIG. Let

Next, the operation of the banknote processing unit 140 from the end of the deposit of the banknote 80 to the start of the feeding process will be described.
FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view showing a state of the banknote processing unit before starting the feeding process. In FIG. 9, the slide mechanism shown in FIG. 4 is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the tray unit 410 is moved to the feeding unit 42 after the deposit is completed. In the feeding unit 42, the feeding roller 421 sequentially feeds the banknotes 80 held at a predetermined position by the banknote pressing lever 412 to the transport roller 431 side. The conveyance roller 431 conveys the banknote 80 fed by the feeding unit 42 and stores it in the storage unit.

  As described above, in the banknote processing unit 140, the tray unit 410 is moved from the input unit 41 where the user performs operations such as insertion of the banknote 80 to the supply unit 42 which is not affected by the operation by the user. Do. As a result, for example, the influence of the user's operation that has occurred in the slot type on the feeding can be eliminated, and the feeding process in the feeding unit 42 can be stabilized.

  Further, in the feeding process, the banknotes 80 are fed upward from the tray unit 410, so that the influence of foreign matters such as coins remaining in the lower part of the tray unit 410 on the feeding process can be reduced. As a result, more stable feeding is possible. It should be noted that foreign matter such as coins remains in the lower portion of the tray portion 410 after the banknotes 80 are fed out. When it is detected by a sensor or the like that foreign matter remains in the lower part, the control unit 110 moves the tray unit 410 to the input unit 41, opens the shutter 46, and returns the foreign matter to the user.

The operation of depositing the banknote 80 in the banknote processing unit 140 has been described above, but the banknote processing unit 140 also performs a withdrawal process on the banknote 80.
In the withdrawal process of the banknote 80, first, the banknote 80 withdrawn from the banknote storage part 43 is fed out to the tray part 410 arranged in the feeding part 42 in the reverse order of the procedure shown in FIG. Accumulated in. The tray unit 410 in which the banknotes 80 to be dispensed are accumulated is moved to the input unit 41 under the control of the control unit 110. Subsequently, the bill pressing lever 412 of the tray unit 410 is raised by an instruction from the control unit 110, and the shutter 46 is opened. As a result, the state shown in FIG. The user can receive the banknotes 80 accumulated in the tray unit 410. After the user receives the banknote 80 of the tray unit 410, the control unit 110 closes the shutter 46 and ends the dispensing process.

  In the banknote processing unit 140, the banknotes 80 accumulated in the tray unit 410 in the withdrawal process can be easily viewed from the opening 460, so that the banknotes 80 can be easily taken. Thereby, user convenience can be improved in the withdrawal process.

  In the above description, the embodiment applied to the ATM 10 has been described. However, the present invention can be applied to an apparatus that handles other banknotes, and paper sheets other than banknotes can be applied to a handling apparatus.

  Further, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment as it is, and can be embodied by modifying the constituent elements without departing from the scope of the invention in the implementation stage.
