Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic transaction device for depositing and withdrawing banknotes by a customer's operation, and more particularly to a downsized automatic transaction device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an automatic transaction apparatus used in a bank or the like is provided with a plurality of stackers for storing denominations for each denomination. Normally, 2 to support 10,000 and 1,000 tickets
A denomination stacker is provided, and in the case of withdrawal transactions, the required number of denominations are withdrawn and withdrawn from these stackers, and in the case of deposit transactions, reusable banknotes are applicable. It is stored in the denomination stacker. Further, an automatic transaction apparatus provided with a replenishment / recovery cassette for replenishing or collecting banknotes for these denomination stackers has also been put into practical use.

Here, in the replenishment operation, all the bills loaded in the replenishment / recovery cassette are stored in the denomination stacker according to the denomination to count all the bills loaded in the replenishment / recovery cassette. By outputting, the operator compares the number of sheets loaded in the replenishment / recovery cassette with the actual counting result, and if they match, it can be recognized that the replenishment has been completed normally. Assuming that there is a possibility that the number of loaded sheets is wrong or that the counting is abnormal, replenishment and maintenance inspection of the device are performed.

[0004]

The object of the invention is to be Solved when the bill capacity of the denomination stackers alone than the bill capacity of replenishment recovered cassette is small,
More than the number of banknotes that can be stored in the denomination stacker can be stored in the replenishment / recovery cassette. In this case, if we perform the replenishment, despite there remains a bill in the replenishment recovered cassette, the denomination stacker becomes full, replenishment operation would stop. Further, since the bills remain in the replenishment / recovery cassette, it is impossible to count all the bills loaded, and it is impossible to confirm whether the replenishment is normally completed.

Therefore, in order to store all the banknotes loaded in the replenishment / recovery cassette in the denomination stacker according to the denomination, the banknote capacity of the replenishment / recovery cassette and the banknote capacity of the independent denomination stacker are the same or more. Need to This is because if the banknotes of a single denomination are fully loaded into the cassette for the number of replenishment times, all the banknotes can be stored in one denomination stacker while maintaining the single denomination. This is because it must be the same as or larger than the replenishment / recovery cassette.

As described above, since the bill capacity of the denomination stacker must be equal to or larger than the bill capacity of the replenishment / recovery cassette, there is a problem that the automatic transaction device becomes large.

[0007]

Next, the flow of banknotes at the time of each transaction of the above-described automatic transaction device of the present embodiment will be described. <Deposit> When the customer selects a deposit transaction on the customer operation unit 13, the shutter of the bill deposit / withdrawal port 3 opens. When the customer inserts bills into the bill deposit / withdrawal port 3, the shutter is closed, and the deposited bills are separated one by one by the separating and feeding and accumulating mechanism provided at the bill deposit / withdrawal port 3 and fed into the transport path 12. .

The bills are sent to the discriminating section 4 through the conveying path 12 and discriminated as to whether they are genuine bills or counterfeit bills, denominations, conveyance abnormalities and the like. As a result of the discrimination, all the normal bills are sent to the temporary holding unit 6a, accumulated on the shutter of the temporary holding unit 6a, and temporarily held while being distinguished from the bills in the denomination stacker 5a.

As a result of the discrimination, normal bills of 1,000 or 5,000 are sent to the temporary holding section 6b, and the temporary holding section 6b is sent.
Of the banknotes in the denomination stacker 5b, and is temporarily held. As a result of the discrimination, the bills discriminated as abnormal are sent to the deposit reject pool unit 8 and are temporarily held while being distinguished from the bills in the refill / recovery cassette 7.

After all the bills inserted into the bill deposit / withdrawal port 3 are fed out and stored in a predetermined storage location according to the discrimination result, the bills in the deposit / reject pool 8 are returned to the bill deposit / withdrawal port 3, Open the shutter and return it to the customer. next,
The operation of storing the banknotes stored in the temporary holding units 6a and 6b in the denomination stackers 5a and 5b will be described.

As described above, the temporary holding unit 6a stores only ten thousand tickets, but the temporary holding unit 6b stores only thousand tickets and some cases include five thousand tickets. . When only the 1,000 tickets are stored in the temporary holding section 6b, the shutters of the temporary holding sections 6a and 6b are opened, and the 10,000 notes stored in the temporary holding section 6a are stored in the denomination stacker 5a and then stored in the temporary holding section 6b. The sent thousand tickets are stored in the denomination stacker 5b.

On the other hand, when five thousand notes are mixed in the temporary holding section 6b, the bills in the temporary holding section 6b are fed out and sent to the discriminating section 4, and the thousand notes are put in and out according to the discrimination result. It is sent to the coin outlet 3, and the 5,000 tickets and the abnormal tickets are sent to the operation reject unit 11. At this time, the shutter of the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 3 is closed, so that it is not possible to pull out the thousand-notes from the outside.

When all the bills in the temporary holding section 6b are sorted according to the discrimination result, the bills sent to the bill deposit / withdrawal port 3 are fed out and sent to the discrimination section 4. As a result of the discrimination, the normal 1,000 tickets are sent to the temporary holding section 6b, and the abnormal tickets are sent to the deposit reject pool section 8. When all the bills in the bill deposit / withdrawal port 3 are sorted according to the discrimination result, the 1,000 bills in the temporary holding section 6b are opened in the shutter and stored in the denomination stacker 5b, and the bills stored in the deposit reject pool section 8 are Operation reject unit 11
Send to and store here.

With the above, the deposit operation is completed. <Withdrawal> When the customer operates the customer operation unit 13, the withdrawal transaction is started. When the withdrawal amount is input after the customer's identity verification, the withdrawal operation in the banknote deposit / withdrawal machine 2 is started.

When the customer operates the customer operation unit 13 to specify the withdrawal of only ten thousand bills, the separating and feeding and accumulating mechanism of the temporary holding unit 6a is driven to take out the bills (ten thousand bills) in the denomination stacker 5a, It is sent to the transport path 12. The bills delivered from the denomination stacker 5a are conveyed to the discrimination section 4 through the conveyance path 12 and are discriminated there. If there is no abnormality as a result of the discrimination, the bill is further conveyed through the conveying path 12 and sent to the bill deposit / withdrawal port 3.

Banknotes that have been discriminated as abnormal as a result of discrimination are sent to the operation reject unit 11 and stored therein. When a specified number of banknotes are collected in the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 3, the shutter of the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 3 is opened, and when the withdrawal of banknotes is detected, the shutter is closed and the dispensing operation is completed. When the customer designates the withdrawal of only the thousand bills, the separating and feeding and accumulating mechanism of the temporary holding section 6b is driven to take out the bills (thousands) in the denomination stacker 5b and feed them to the transport path 12. The bills delivered from the denomination stacker 5b are conveyed to the discrimination section 4 through the conveyance path 12 and are discriminated there. If there is no abnormality as a result of the discrimination, the bill is further conveyed through the conveying path 12 and sent to the bill deposit / withdrawal port 3.

Banknotes that have been discriminated to be abnormal as a result of discrimination are sent to the operation reject unit 11 and stored therein. When a specified number of banknotes are collected in the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 3, the shutter of the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 3 is opened, and when the withdrawal of banknotes is detected, the shutter is closed and the dispensing operation is completed. In addition, when both the ten thousand and thousand thousand notes are designated by the customer, first, the ten thousand notes are withdrawn after the ten thousand notes are withdrawn as described above.
When the bills of the designated denomination amount are collected, the shutter of the bill deposit / withdrawal port 3 is opened. It should be noted that the withdrawal order of the 10,000-yen and the 1000-yen may be reversed.

Here, when it is detected that the banknotes aligned in the banknote pay-in / pay-out port 3 cannot be taken out within a predetermined time, the shutter of the banknote pay-in / pay-out port 3 is closed and all the banknotes are forgotten to the recovery unit 10. take in. <Replenishment> When the clerk mounts the replenishment / recovery cassette 7 and operates the clerk operation section to issue a command to start replenishment, the separating / collecting mechanism of the deposit reject pool unit 8 is driven to remove the banknotes in the replenishment / recovery cassette 7. Unwind,
It is sent to the transport path 12. The bills fed from the replenishment / recovery cassette 7 are conveyed to the discrimination section 4 by the conveyance path 12 and are discriminated here.

As a result of the discrimination, normal bills which are discriminated from all the bills are stored in the denomination stacker 5a from the temporary holding section 6a. As a result of the discrimination, banknotes which are discriminated from the thousand-notes and are normal are stored in the denomination stacker 5b from the temporary holding section 6b. As a result of the discrimination, the bill discriminated as a five thousand bill or a bill discriminated as an abnormal bill is sent to the refill reject unit 9 and stored therein. <Recovery> The clerk operates the clerk operation section to operate the denomination stacker 5a.
When a command to start collection is issued from, the separating and feeding and stacking mechanism of the temporary holding unit 6a is driven to feed the banknotes in the denomination stacker 5a, and feeds them to the transport path 12. Denomination stacker 5a
The banknotes fed out from are conveyed to the discrimination section 4 through the conveyance path 12 and are discriminated there. If there is no abnormality as a result of the discrimination, the bill is further conveyed through the conveying path 12 and the replenishment / collection cassette 7
Sent to and stored here.

A bill that has been discriminated to be abnormal as a result of discrimination is sent to the operation reject unit 11 and stored therein. When a clerk operates the clerk operation section to issue a command to start collection from the denomination stacker 5b, the separating and feeding and accumulating mechanism of the temporary holding section 6b is driven to take out the banknotes in the denomination stacker 5b and to the transport path 12. Send out. The bills fed from the denomination stacker 5b are conveyed to the discrimination section 4 through the conveyance path 12,
Differentiated here. If there is no abnormality as a result of the discrimination, the bill is further conveyed through the conveyance path 12 and is sent to the replenishment / recovery cassette 7 where it is stored.

Banknotes that have been discriminated as abnormal as a result of discrimination are sent to the operation reject unit 11 and stored therein. Next, details of the replenishing operation according to the present invention will be described. 2 and 3 are flowcharts showing the flow of the replenishing operation according to the first embodiment of this invention.

"Banknotes capacity of replenishment and collection cassette 7≤banknotes capacity of denomination stacker 5a + denomination stacker 5b", and
If "banknote capacity of replenishment / recovery cassette 7> banknote capacity of denomination stacker 5a or denomination stacker 5b alone" is set, which one of the denominations to be replenished in denomination stacker 5a or denomination stacker 5b More than the number of bills of that denomination can be stored in the denomination stacker 5a or the denomination stacker 5b.

In such a case, when replenishment is performed, before the replenishment / recovery cassette 7 becomes empty (SA1), the denomination stacker 5
Before either a or denomination stacker 5b becomes full (S
A2), delivery from the replenishment / recovery cassette 7 and discrimination section 4
Discrimination and counting in (SA3, 4) are performed, and normal banknotes of all the bills are stored in the denomination stacker 5a (SA5), and normal bills of 1,000 notes are stored in the denomination stacker 5b (SA6). Thousand or abnormal tickets are stored in the supplementary reject unit 9 (SA7).

When the denomination stacker 5a or the denomination stacker 5b detects that the replenishment / recovery cassette 7 is empty (SA2), the feeding from the replenishment / recovery cassette 7 is continued to perform discrimination and counting (SA8). ), Stop storing for each denomination, and then, among the remaining bills, as a result of discrimination, replenish the denomination stacker on the side where the normal bills are not full, (SA9, 10), the abnormal ticket and the 5,000 note are stored in the supplementary reject unit 9 (SA11).
Therefore, the denomination stacker that is not full will be a mixed storage of 10,000 and 1,000 tickets. When the replenishment / recovery cassette 7 becomes empty,
The operator is notified of the counting result (SA12).

For example, if the replenishment / recovery cassette 7 is loaded with more than the number of denominations that can be stored in the denomination cassette 5a, the denomination stacker 5a detects that the replenishment / recovery cassette 7 is empty. When the denomination stacker 5a detects full,
The bills remaining in the replenishment / recovery cassette 7 are stored in the denomination stacker 5b even if they are all bills as a result of discrimination. Therefore, the denomination stacker 5b is a mixed storage of ten thousand and thousands.

A specific example will be described below. FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing an example of storing bills before and after replenishment. When the bill capacity of the replenishment / recovery cassette 7 is 2000 sheets and the bill amount of the denomination cassettes 5a and 5b is 1500 sheets, the replenishment / recovery cassette 7 has 1800 million bills,
It is assumed that 200 thousand tickets are loaded. At the time of this loading, the replenishment / recovery cassette 7 is loaded with 1800 million tickets on top of 200 thousand tickets.

When replenishment is performed in such a loaded state, the denomination stacker 5a detects that the denomination stacker 5a is full at the time when 1,500,000 bills are replenished. After this, even if the banknote has been discriminated from the millions by the discrimination section 4, the denomination stacker 5
It will be replenished in b. When the replenishment / recovery cassette 7 is emptied and replenishment is completed, 1500
It is assumed that the denomination stacker 5b stores 298 thousand tickets and 199 thousand tickets. In addition, the number of times the abnormal ticket is identified is three. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of receipt output, in which the automatic transaction apparatus 1 outputs the receipt result described above to a receipt and notifies the operator. The operator confirms the number of denominations of the supplementary reject unit 9, and here, the supplementary reject unit 9 stores two ten thousand and one thousand, so that the denomination stackers 5a and 5b and the supplementary reject unit 9 are stored. It is confirmed that the replenishment is normally completed by checking that the total of the bills stored in is equal to the number of denominations loaded by the user.

As described above, at the time of replenishment, the denomination stacker 5
When either a or 5b becomes full, the other banknote stacker that is not full can be replenished with the remaining bills to replenish until the replenishment / recovery cassette 7 is emptied. It becomes possible to count all the bills loaded in 7, and "the bill capacity of the replenishment and collection cassette 7 ≤ the bill capacity of the denomination stacker 5a + the denomination stacker 5b", and
The operator can also determine the number of sheets loaded in the replenishment / recovery cassette 7 even if “the bill capacity of the supplement / collection cassette 7> the bill capacity of the denomination stacker 5a or the denomination stacker 5b alone”.

However, one denomination stacker maintains the unity of denominations, while the other denomination stacker is in a state in which ten thousand and thousand notes are mixed. When the denominations are mixed and stored in this way, whichever denomination stacker takes time when paying out the necessary banknotes from the denomination stacker at the time of withdrawal, or when an obstacle such as a jam occurs. It takes time to identify if it was paid. Therefore, as a process after the operator confirms the counting result, an operation of eliminating the mixture of denominations is performed.

First, from among the denomination stackers 5a and 5b, the denomination stacker that has become full with a single denomination, "banknote capacity of the replenishment and collection cassette 7 (H sheets) -the bills of the denomination stacker that has become full". Replenishment and collection cassette 7 for bills of "capacity (A)"
(SA13). Next, collect and replenish all banknotes from the other denomination stacker that is not full 7
(SA14).

After that, replenishment is carried out, all the vouchers are stored in the denomination cassette 5a, and the 1,000 vouchers are stored in the denomination stacker 5b. Only a thousand tickets are stored in the seed stacker 5b, and 10,000 tickets that cannot be stored in the denomination stacker 5a remain in the replenishment / recovery cassette 7, thereby eliminating the mixture of denomination stackers (SA15).

A specific example will be described below. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing the flow of banknotes during the denomination mixture elimination operation. As described above, 1800 million tickets are added to the replenishment / recovery cassette 7.
After loading 200 sheets, 1000 sheets, and when replenishment is completed, 1500 sheets in the denomination stacker 5a and 10,000 sheets in the denomination stacker 5b 29
It is assumed that 8 sheets and 199 tickets are stored. When the operator confirms that the replenishment is normally completed from the contents of the receipt and the bills in the replenishment reject unit 9, as shown in FIG. 6A, the denomination stacker 5a displays “the bill capacity of the replenishment and collection cassette 7-full. Banknote capacity of denomination stacker 5a
= 2000 sheets-1500 = 500 sheets are collected in the supplementary collection cassette 7.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6B, all the bills of the denomination stacker 5b are collected in the replenishment / collection cassette 7. Then, the replenishment / recovery cassette 7 has 298 million tickets from the top,
The situation is such that 199 thousand tickets and 500 million tickets are stored. Then, replenishment is performed from this state. As a result of this replenishment, first, 298 million tickets are stored in the denomination stacker 5a, then 199 thousand tickets are stored in the denomination stacker 5b, and further 202 sheets are stored in the denomination stacker 5a. When stored, the denomination stacker 5a becomes full and replenishment is stopped. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6C, 1500 coins are arranged in the denomination stacker 5a, 199 thousand coins are arranged in the denomination stacker 5b, and 298 coins are arranged in the replenishment / recovery cassette 7. Can be stored.

In the first embodiment described above, after all the banknotes in the replenishment / recovery cassette 7 have been stored in the denomination stackers 5a, 5b or the replenishment reject unit 9, before the denomination mixture elimination operation is performed, the operator is informed. It was decided to notify the result.
As a result, it becomes possible to recognize whether the replenishment has been normally performed without waiting for the operation of mixing denominations, and the operator can quickly recognize the result.

On the other hand, in the second embodiment, after performing the denomination mixture elimination operation described above, the operator is notified of the result. That is, after the replenishment / recovery cassette 7 is replenished until all the banknotes in the replenishment / recovery cassette 7 are counted, the denomination mixture elimination operation is performed, and the counting is performed after the denomination mixture elimination operation is completed. Notify the operator of the result.

A specific example will be described below. As described with reference to FIG. 4 of the first embodiment, the replenishment / recovery cassette 7 has a capacity of 2000 banknotes and the banknotes of the denomination cassette 5a and the denomination cassette 5b. When the capacity is 1500 sheets,
The replenishment / recovery cassette 7 contains 1800 million tickets and 200 thousand tickets.
Suppose you loaded one. At the time of this loading, the replenishment / recovery cassette 7 is loaded with 1800 million tickets on top of 200 thousand tickets.

When replenishment is performed in such a loaded state, the denomination stacker 5a detects that the denomination stacker 5a is full when 1500 million bills have been replenished. After this, even if the banknote has been discriminated from the millions by the discrimination section 4, the denomination stacker 5
It will be replenished in b. When the replenishment / recovery cassette 7 is emptied and the replenishment is completed, as shown in FIG.
1500 tickets for a and 298 tickets for denomination stacker 5b
It is assumed that 999 sheets and 000 ticket tickets are stored. Further, it is assumed that the abnormal ticket is discriminated three times.

When the replenishment / recovery cassette 7 is emptied, FIG.
As shown in (a), from the denomination stacker 5a, "banknote capacity of the replenishment and collection cassette 7-full denomination stacker 5a
The banknote capacity “= 2000 sheets-1500 = 500 sheets is collected in the replenishment / collection cassette 7. Next, as shown in FIG. 6B, all the bills of the denomination stacker 5b are collected in the replenishment / collection cassette 7. Then, the replenishment / recovery cassette 7 is in a state of storing 298 million tickets, 199 thousand tickets, and 500 million tickets from the top. Then, replenishment is performed from this state.

As a result of this replenishment, first, 298 million tickets are stored in the denomination stacker 5a, then 199 thousand tickets are stored in the denomination stacker 5b, and further 202 sheets are denominations. Gold stacker 5a when stored in the stacker 5a
Is full and replenishment is stopped. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6C, the denomination stacker 5a has 1500
The denomination stacker 5b can store 199 thousand tickets in line, and the replenishment / recovery cassette 7 can store 298 thousand tickets in line.

When the denomination stacker 5a becomes full and replenishment is stopped, the operator is notified of the counting result.
FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of receipt output after the denomination mixture elimination operation. As described above, the denomination stacker 5a has 1 million tickets.
500 sheets, denomination stacker 5b holds 1,000 thousand sheets, replenishment / recovery cassette 7 holds 298 thousand sheets, and if the number of times of discriminating an abnormal ticket is 3 times, the result is output to a receipt. It

The operator confirms the number of denominations in the supplementary reject unit 9, and here, the supplementary reject unit 9 has 2 million bills.
A denomination stacker 5 by storing 1 ticket and 1 ticket
It is confirmed that the replenishment is normally completed by checking that the total of the bills stored in the a and 5b, the replenishment / recovery cassette 7 and the replenishment reject unit 9 matches the number of denominations loaded by itself.

As described above, by outputting the receipt after the denomination mixture elimination operation, the operator can
In addition to the number of bills replenished in 5b, the number of bills remaining in the replenishment / recovery cassette 7 can be recognized.

[0054]

As described above, the present invention is an automatic transaction device in which the bill capacity of the replenishment / recovery cassette is less than the total bill capacity of the two denomination stackers and larger than the denomination stacker single bill capacity. Since the denomination stacker can be downsized with respect to the replenishment / recovery cassette, a small automatic transaction device can be realized.

Then, when one of the denomination stackers detects full when replenishing a banknote from the replenishment / recovery cassette to one of the denomination stackers for each denomination in accordance with the discrimination result in the discrimination section, the replenishment / recovery is performed. The remaining bills in the cassette are to be replenished in the other denomination stacker regardless of the denomination. As a result, when the banknotes loaded in the replenishment / recovery cassette are replenished in the denomination stacker, it becomes possible to pay out and count all the banknotes in the replenishment / recovery cassette, and the denomination stacker can be used for the banknote capacity of the replenishment / recovery cassette. The operator can confirm the number of sheets loaded in the replenishment / recovery cassette even if the number is small and small.

After all the bills in the replenishment / recovery cassette are fed out and counted, the denomination and the number of the bills stored in the denomination stacker are output to notify the operator.
The operator can recognize the counting result accompanying replenishment before the denomination mixture elimination operation, and can shorten the time until the counting result is recognized. Further, of the two denomination stackers, one denomination stacker that has become full with a single denomination bill has a difference between the bill capacity of this denomination stacker and the bill capacity of the replenishment / recovery cassette. The banknotes are collected in the replenishment / recovery cassette, and after all the banknotes in the other denomination stacker in which the denominations are mixed are collected in the replenishment / recovery cassette, the replenishment / recovery cassette is used to determine the money according to the discrimination result in the discrimination section. Since the banknotes are replenished to one of the denomination stackers for each type, the banknotes in which the denominations are mixed can be separated for each denomination by the replenishment.

After the denomination mixture elimination operation, the denomination and the number of bills stored in the replenishment / recovery cassette and the denomination stacker are output and notified to the operator, so that the final counting result can be recognized.
