Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a cash depositing apparatus installed in a financial institution such as a bank, and more particularly to a cash depositing and dispensing apparatus having a storage for replenishing and collecting cash.

[Conventional technology]

In recent years, it has integrated the deposit function and withdrawal function, and in recent years, it has been possible to re-use the deposited money for withdrawal for the counter business at financial institutions such as banks and the business of handling cash with customers with automatic transaction equipment. Money recirculation-type depositing and dispensing devices used for dispensing transactions by storing various coins in a dispensing storage box have been announced one after another.

FIG. 9 (a) is an external perspective view of an automatic teller machine equipped with such a depositing / dispensing device as viewed from the customer side, and FIG. 9 (b).
FIG. 2 is an external perspective view of the same apparatus as viewed from a rear maintenance surface.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an automatic cash transaction apparatus, and 2 denotes a bill receiving / dispensing apparatus.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a card reader / writer which performs processing such as identification of a card inserted by a customer and printing of the contents of a deposit / payment transaction, and reference numeral 4 denotes processing of identification of a passbook inserted by a customer and printing of the contents of a deposit / payment transaction. 5 is a customer operation unit composed of operation keys for inputting a deposit / payment amount and a password, and a display unit for displaying the amount and illustrations and characters for operation guidance. Operation keys for inputting items and data according to each transaction, and input data from the operation keys, processing results, etc. are displayed to perform processing such as replenishment, collection, etc. The internal operation unit 7 is a control unit that controls the operations of the above-described devices and performs various arithmetic processing.

FIG. 10 shows the connection form of each device described above as a block.

Here, in such a device, by using a part of the depositing function and the dispensing function, the money required for the dispensing transaction is set in one storage from the original side, and the money is dispensed to the depositing and dispensing device. A function of automatically loading money from the collective storage to the storage of each denomination provided for withdrawal by operating switches for instructing a loading operation by mounting the storage. ing.

When the work is completed, by operating switches for instructing a collection operation different from the loading operation,
Start the reverse function of the loading function.

That is, the moneys are sequentially collected from the cash storages of each denomination into the collective storage, and the storages to be taken out from the depositing / dispensing device need only be the collective storage and the reject storage storing the rejected money. Thus, the convenience of the operator is achieved.

Moreover, the number of coins counted by the cash-in / pay-out device during the loading operation and the collecting operation is displayed on the display device, and read and recorded by the operator, or input to the control device that controls the cash-in / pay-out device to load the money. The number of sheets and the number of collected sheets can be managed and operated.

However, since the collective storage is generally used for storing the rejected reject banknotes at the time of depositing, a deposit transaction cannot be performed while accessing the collective storage.

In addition, since the collective storage is generally located in the lower unit where the denomination-type storage is arranged, in order to access the collective storage, the operation of the automatic teller machine is temporarily stopped, and the banknote transfer from the automatic teller machine is performed. The device must be pulled out.

In other words, there is a problem that transactions such as deposits and withdrawals are stopped during the maintenance management of the collective storage, and the operation efficiency of the apparatus is reduced.

Therefore, conventionally, the lump storage is made to function independently at the time of deposit and withdrawal transactions as an independent luggage, and the lump storage is exposed to a position where the staff can reach when the maintenance surface of the automatic teller machine is opened. By doing so, there has been proposed a banknote depositing / dispensing apparatus having a configuration in which a batch storage can be accessed while a banknote depositing / dispensing apparatus is attached to an automatic cash transaction apparatus during transactions such as depositing / dispensing.

FIG. 11 is a schematic side view showing a conventional example of this kind of banknote pay-in / pay-out device.

This means that the discriminating unit 9 identifies the banknotes input by the customer into the depositing port 8 and performs a deposit transaction, and the inside of each denomination storing / withdrawing unit 10 and 11 according to the denomination amount designated by the customer. A withdrawal transaction function that discharges and withdraws stored banknotes, and stores banknotes that have completed a deposit transaction and stores them in each denomination storage / withdrawal unit 10 and 11 as circulating banknotes. This is a banknote pay-in / pay-out device that has a circulation function for turning gold, and stores replenishment banknotes in each denomination storage / discharge section 10 and 11 and each denomination storage / receipt section 1
The luggage storage 14 integrally formed with the first storage unit 12 for storing collected banknotes from 0 and 11 and the second storage unit 13 for receiving and storing rejected banknotes at the time of replenishment of banknotes is pulled out of the machine in the drawing direction. It is arranged detachably on the K front.

With the above-described configuration, at the time of the deposit transaction, the banknote input by the customer to the deposit port 8 is identified by the discriminating unit 9, and among the banknotes for which the deposit transaction has been completed, those reusable for dispensing are circulated for circulation as banknotes. In addition, unusable bills, denominated denominations, and the like that cannot be reused for dispensing are stored in a predetermined storage unit on the apparatus side as rejected banknotes.

At the time of withdrawal transaction, the stored banknotes are released according to the denomination amount specified by the customer. Of the released banknotes, those that are determined to be unsuitable for withdrawal due to heavy running, skew, etc. are regarded as withdrawal reject banknotes. It is stored in a predetermined storage section on the device side.

Then, when it is necessary to access the collective storage 14 in replenishment of the banknotes for dispensing in the apparatus and collection of banknotes in the apparatus, the maintenance side door of the automatic teller machine 1 is opened. Then, it is possible to perform maintenance management by pulling out only the batch storage 14 from the front surface of the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 2 in the pull-out direction K while being mounted.

During this time, even if a deposit transaction or a withdrawal transaction is performed, the rejected banknotes and the rejected banknotes are stored in a predetermined storage unit on the device side, so that the batch storage 14 does not function at all. Therefore, even if the batch storage 14 is pulled out of the operating device, no inconvenience occurs in the transaction processing.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

4 to 7 are schematic side views showing the operation of the present embodiment. FIG. 4 shows a deposit transaction, FIG. 5 shows a withdrawal transaction, and FIG.
The figure shows a refilling operation (including a filling operation), and FIG. 7 shows a collecting operation.

<Payment transaction> When the customer presses the payment transaction key and inserts the card into the card slot or passbook passbook slot, communication takes place between the device and the center. The control section 7 returns a command for starting the deposit processing to the CCAD2.

Upon receiving the deposit processing start command, CCAD2 switches the internal state to the deposit mode and waits for the customer to set a bill.

When it is detected that the customer has set the bill, the customer service opening shutter 11 is closed, and the state that the control unit 7 is periodically transmitting the response message by adding the information indicating that the deposit mouth bill is present to the sense command is added to the sense command. (Hereinafter referred to as response).

Next, the control unit 7 transmits a deposit counting command, and instructs counting of bills set in the deposit and withdrawal port.

Hereinafter, the processing procedure of CCAD2 will be described with reference to FIG.

First, after a bill is set in the service port 8 as shown in FIG. 2 (a), the service port shutter 11 is closed, and the service port 8 is set to the separation position as shown in FIG. 2 (b) by a motor (not shown). . Then, the set bills are separated one by one.
It is taken into the apparatus by 10 and sent to the discrimination unit 13 by the traveling path.

The discriminating unit 13 sequentially detects the authenticity of the conveyed bills, discriminates whether the bill is correct or not, and detects the traveling state, and sends the bills backward.

The discrimination unit 13 determines that the ticket is a counterfeit ticket or an abnormal transport ticket.
The sheet is conveyed to the front and back sorting mechanism 12 and stacked one by one. The service port 8 is set to the receiving position shown in FIG. 2C by a motor (not shown), and the bills accumulated in the front and back sorting mechanism 12 are sent to the service port 8. The bills sent to the customer service opening 8 are so-called deposit reject bills.

The deposited banknote determined as a genuine bill by the discriminating unit 13 is sent to the deposit / withdrawal unit 53 by operating the switching blade 14c.

Here, the genuine 1,000 yen note is activated by operating the switching blade 14g and sent to the banknote stacking unit 39, and is accumulated on the banknote temporary holding plate 42. Similarly, the genuine ten thousand note is operated by activating the switching blade 14h. The paper is sent to the banknote stacking unit 40 and is stacked on the banknote temporary holding plate 43.

Banknotes determined to be 5,000 bills of delinquent bills or denominations not subject to circulation cannot be reused for withdrawal, so the switching blade 14i is operated as a circulation reject bill and sent to the third type reject bill stacking unit 30, and The sheets are accumulated on the temporary holding plate 44.

With the above operation, when the deposit counting process of the banknote set by the customer in the customer service opening 8 is completed, the CCAD 2 returns a response of the end of the deposit counting to the control unit 7 and, as the data, the number counted for each denomination. It is added separately to the recirculated banknotes and the non-recycled banknotes. The control unit 7 receives the data, calculates the amount of the denomination and the total amount, displays the amount on a CRT (not shown), counts the data as a deposit count, and stores it.

When the customer confirms the amount displayed on the CRT (not shown) and presses a confirmation button (not shown), the CCAD 2 receives the command, and first, the bill temporary holding plate of the deposit / withdrawal unit 53.
Deposited bills 42, 43, and 44 are withdrawn in the direction of arrow J and stored in the denomination cassettes 33 and 34 and the third type rejected bill cassette 29, respectively.

 Thus, the processing of the payment transaction is completed.

<Payout transaction> The customer presses the withdrawal transaction key, inserts the card into the card insertion slot, and enters the password.

The control unit 7 transmits a command for starting a dispensing process to the CCAD 2.

When CCAD2 receives the command to start the dispensing process, it switches the internal state to the dispensing mode and waits for the instruction of the denomination and the number of bills to be discharged.

For example, if a customer enters the amount of 50,000 thousand,
First, it is determined whether or not the end detector 49c of the denomination cassette 34 and the end detector 48c of the denomination cassette 34 detect the end. If either one has detected the end, information indicating that withdrawal is not permitted is added, and a response is returned.

When the end detection is not performed, assuming that the instruction of the withdrawal counting is m-million-yen ticket n-million-yen ticket, the banknote separation mechanism 46 is operated and m-million-yen bills are fed from the denomination cassette 34. The fed bill is sent to the discriminating unit 13 through the transport path 51 as indicated by the arrow in FIG. The discriminating unit 13 checks whether the bill is as specified,
It discriminates whether it is correct or not, activates the switching gate 14d if it is as specified, sends it to the front and back sorting mechanism 12, activates the switching blade 14a according to the front and back judgment result of the discrimination unit 13, and arranges the front and back one by one, Collected in the sorting mechanism 12.

The bill discriminated by the discriminating unit 13 from the abnormal transported ticket is sent to the second type reject banknote stacking unit 28 by operating the switching blades 14d and 14c as a withdrawal reject banknote, and is stacked on the second type reject banknote cassette 27. .

Until the required number of sheets are accumulated in the front and back sorting mechanism 12, the dispensing, discrimination and accumulation of the ten thousand yen ticket are repeated.

When the ten-yen ticket has been paid out, the next is the cassette by money
In the same manner, the payout of n-thousand-yen tickets from 33 is performed.

When the designated number of sheets are accumulated in the front and back sorting mechanism 12, the customer service opening 8 is set to a receiving position by a motor (not shown), and the bills collected in the front and back sorting mechanism 12 are received.
Send to

The service opening 8 is set to the dispensing position by a motor (not shown), the service opening shutter 11 is opened, a banknote is passed to the customer, and the service opening shutter 11 is removed.

When the dispensing of the designated number of sheets from the control unit 7 is completed, a response of completion is returned, and the released denomination and its number are added as the data. The control unit 7 receives this, counts and stores it as the number of payments.

If the customer forgets to take the bills in the customer service port 8,
To the take-in position, and take in the forgotten banknotes and store it in the storage section.

 This completes the dispensing transaction processing.

Here, in the above-described depositing transaction and the dispensing transaction, the rejected banknote is a third-class rejected banknote cassette 29.
Since the rejected banknote is stored in the second type reject banknote collector 27, the replenishment / collection unit 19 and the collective banknote 15 do not function at all. Therefore, CC that operates batch collection 15
Withdrawing from AD2 does not cause any inconvenience in transaction processing.

Therefore, in the above deposit and withdrawal transactions,
By leaving the magnet 82 in the off state and releasing the engagement between the lock lever 83 and the lock post 84, the attachment and detachment of the batch cassette 15 is made free.

<Replenishment> When the staff presses the replenishment key using the operation key of the internal operation unit 6, the control unit 7 receives this input and transmits a command for instructing the CCAD 2 to start the replenishment operation.

Upon receiving the command to start the replenishment operation, the CCAD 2 switches the internal state to the replenishment mode, and replenishes and collects the bill storage unit 17.
Is not detected by the end detector 25a, that is, it is confirmed that bills to be replenished are set in advance.

If the end is detected, a response is returned with information indicating that the operation is disabled, and this process is stopped. When it is confirmed that the end is not detected, the replenishment operation is started.

 Hereinafter, the operation of CCAD2 will be described with reference to FIG.

By operating the replenishment bill separation mechanism 22, the bills set on the stage 18 are fed out one by one from the upper side, conveyed as indicated by the arrow in FIG. The discriminating section 13 sequentially detects the sent bills, discriminates whether they are authentic or not, judges whether the bills are correct or not, and sends the bills backward after detecting the traveling state.

In the case of a banknote that can be loaded for withdrawal as a genuine 1,000-yen banknote, the switching blade 14g is operated to feed the banknote into the banknote stacking unit 39, and is directly stacked on the stage 36 of the denomination cassette 33.

In the case of a banknote that can be loaded for dispensing with a genuine ten thousand note, the switching blade 14h is operated to send the banknote to the banknote stacking unit 40 and directly stack it on the stage 37 of the cassette for classification by banknote 34.

This operation is repeated until the bills set on the stage 18 are exhausted and the end detector 25a detects them. However, the number of sheets accumulated on any one of the stages 36 and 37 in the middle reaches the accumulation allowable value (for example, 100 sheets). When it reaches, the operation of the replenishment bill separating mechanism 22 is interrupted, and the stage of the cassette which has reached the accumulation allowable value is lowered by the motor (not shown) corresponding to the accumulation allowable value. When the stage moves down, the replenishment bill separating mechanism 22 is operated again, and the replenishment operation is repeated.

When the banknotes on the stage 18 are exhausted and the end detector 39d detects the end, the replenishment banknote separation mechanism 22 stops, and when the last banknote reaches the stage of the denomination cassette, the transport operation by the transport path also stops.

Finally, the stages 36 and 37 of the denomination cassettes 33 and 34 are simultaneously lowered, and the banknotes accumulated on the stages 36 and 37 are stored in the denomination cassettes 33 and 34, and the replenishment operation ends.

The rejected banknotes discriminated from the withdrawable tickets by the discriminating unit 13 are operated by the switching blades 14e and 14f, sent to the first type rejected banknote stacking unit 14, and collected in the first type rejected banknote storage unit 23.

During the replenishment operation, the full detector 4
When 8c and 49c detect full, switch blade 14i
Is operated and fed to the third type rejected banknote stacking unit 30 to be stacked on the stage 38 of the third type rejected banknote cassette 29. Then, when the end detector 25a detects the end, the replenishment bill separating mechanism 22 is stopped, and the transport operation by the traveling path 51 is also stopped.

CCAD2 returns a replenishment completion response to the control unit 7,
As the data, the counted number of sheets loaded for each denomination is added.

 Thus, the processing of the replenishment operation is completed.

<Reloading> When the bank staff stores the banknotes set from the original side in a lump on the stage 18 of the replenishment / collection banknote storage unit 17 before starting the work, and presses the loading key with the operation key of the internal operation unit 6, In response to this input, the control unit 7 returns a command for instructing the start of the loading operation to the CCAD 2.

Upon receiving the loading operation start command, CCAD2 switches the internal state in the same manner as in the replenishment mode, and performs the same loading operation as the refilling operation.

<Recovery> When the worker presses the recovery key using the operation key of the internal operation unit 6, the control unit 7 receives this input and transmits a command for instructing the CCAD 2 to start the recovery operation.

When CCAD 2 receives the command to start the collection operation, the internal state is switched to the collection mode, and all the denomination cassettes 33, 34 and the third type reject banknote cassette 29 have not detected the end, that is, the banknotes to be collected are gold. It is confirmed that one of the type cassettes 33 and 34 and the third type reject banknote cassette 29 exists.

If all of the denomination cassettes 33 and 34 and the third type reject banknote cassette 29 have been detected as being at the end, information indicating that operation is not possible is disabled, a response is returned, and this processing is stopped.

When it is confirmed that the end is not detected in any one of the cassettes, the collecting operation is started.

 Hereinafter, the operation of CCAD2 will be described with reference to FIG.

First, the banknote separation mechanism 47 is operated, and the banknotes stored in the third-type reject banknote cassette 29 are sequentially counted from the upper side by one.
The sheet is fed out one by one and sent to the discriminating section 13 through the traveling path as indicated by the arrow in FIG.

The discriminating unit 13 sequentially discriminates the sent bills and detects the traveling state, and sends the bills backward.

As a result of the discrimination by the discriminating unit 13, the banknote in which the heavy running or the skew is detected is operated by the switching blades 14e and 14f, and the first bill is operated.
It is sent to the seed reject bill storage unit 23.

The banknotes with normal discrimination results are sent to the collected banknote stacking unit 21,
The components are sequentially accumulated on the stage 18.

This operation is repeated until there are no more banknotes set in the third type reject banknote cassette 29. However, when the number of stacks on the stage 18 in the middle reaches an allowable stacking value (for example, 100), the banknote separating mechanism 47 The operation is interrupted, and the stage of the cassette which has reached the accumulation allowable value is lowered by an unillustrated motor by an amount corresponding to the accumulation allowable value. When the stage is lowered, the bill separating mechanism 47 is operated again, and the replenishing operation is repeated.

End detector 50a of the third kind reject banknote cassette 29
Next, when the end is detected, the stored bill is fed out from the denomination cassette 34.

When the discrimination section 13 discriminates the result of heavy running, skew, or the like, the switching blades 14e and 14f are operated to feed the first type reject bill storage section 23. The banknotes with normal discrimination results are sent to the collected banknote stacking unit 21 and are sequentially stacked on the stage 18.

When the denomination cassette 34 detects the end, next, the stored bills are fed out from the denomination cassette 33.

Thus, the rejected banknotes of the third kind rejected banknote cassette 29 and the denomination cassettes 33 and 34 are rejected,
The bills are accumulated while counting on the stage 19 of the replenishment / collection bill storage unit 18 in the order of 1,000 yen notes.

When the full detector 25c of the replenishment / collection banknote storage unit 17 detects the full state, the collection operation is interrupted, and the information is returned to the control unit 7. The control unit 7 displays a display “batch cassette full” (not shown) to instruct the collection of the bills stored in the batch cassette.

According to this instruction, the staff opens the door 52 on the rear surface of the CCAD 2, pulls out the batch cassette 15, opens the batch cassette door using the inspection key, and takes out all the bills in the replenishment / collection bill storage unit 17.

When the collective cassette door is closed, the collective cassette 15 is set by the reverse operation, and the door 52 is closed, the collecting operation is performed again.

As described above, the collecting operation is performed until all of the third type reject banknote cassette 29 and the denomination cassettes 33 and 34 detect the end, and the last banknote is replenished and collected.
, The transport operation by the transport path 51 also stops, and the collection operation ends.

The CCAD 2 that has completed the above process returns a response indicating that the collection has been completed, and adds the counted number of sheets collected for each denomination as its data. In response to this, the control unit 7 counts and stores the number of times.

 Thus, the processing of the collecting operation is completed.

Here, during the above replenishment (including filling) and collection processing,
Energize the magnet 82 and lock lever 83 lock post 84
, The batch cassette 15 is locked and fixed to the apparatus side.

That is, it is impossible to remove the batch cassette 15 that functions in the replenishment, filling, and collection processing.

Hereinafter, FIG. 8 shows an operation flowchart until the above-described replenishment command or collection command is executed, and the operation timing of the lock mechanism 81 will be described.

When power is supplied to the automatic teller machine 1, power is also supplied to the CCAD 2 (S0).

When the power is turned on, the banknote pay-in / pay-out device control section 59 executes a power-on process for checking its own circuit operation check and whether there is any abnormality in each mechanism (S1).

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the power-on processing result is normal (S2). If an error is detected, an error processing operation is executed. If the error is detected, the process proceeds to a command reception wait (S3).

If a command is received and the received command is a replenishment command or a collection command (S4), the detection switch
It is checked whether or not the batch cassette is mounted by the signal of 76 (S5).

As a result, if not mounted, a batch cassette not mounted response is transmitted to the control unit 7 of the automatic teller machine 1 (S
6), and waits for the next command reception (S3).

On the other hand, if the batch cassette 15 has been
By energizing the magnet 82, the lock lever 83 is rotated to connect and fix the batch cassette 15 to the apparatus side (S7).

Subsequently, the replenishment command or the collection command already received is executed in S4 (S8). When the execution of the command is completed (S9), the power supply to the magnet 82 of the lock mechanism 81 is stopped (S10). It waits for the next command (S3).
