Description

  The present invention relates to a banknote depositing / dispensing machine, and in particular, a plurality of stackers that store deposited banknotes and banknotes to be dispensed by denomination and banknotes fed out from these stackers due to overlapping banknotes, breakage, etc. It is related with the banknote depositing / withdrawing machine provided with the reject banknote accommodating part which accommodates the reject banknote which is unsuitable for the.

  Currently, ordinary users can directly receive banknotes, such as automated teller machines installed at financial institutions and convenience stores, automatic payment machines at self-service gas stations, and ticket machines at transportation and leisure facilities. There is known a banknote depositing and dispensing machine capable of performing depositing and dispensing operations. Such a banknote depositing / dispensing machine includes a plurality of stackers for storing deposited banknotes by denomination. At the time of withdrawal, the necessary number of banknotes is fed out one by one from the stacker in which the corresponding denomination banknotes are stored. At that time, two or more banknotes are fed out or fed out. When banknotes that are not suitable for withdrawal are paid out because the banknotes are significantly damaged, such banknotes are stored in a withdrawal reject box provided separately as reject banknotes.

  By the way, such a banknote depositing / dispensing machine checks the amount of banknotes in the apparatus during periodic maintenance, collects more banknotes than a predetermined number, and replenishes them if less. Is being operated. When collecting or replenishing banknotes, the stacker may have a removable cassette safe so that the banknotes in the apparatus are not directly touched by people. During maintenance, remove the cassette safe from the main unit with the banknotes stored in the stacker, replace it with a cassette safe that has been replenished with the required number of banknotes in advance, and then transport the removed cassette safe to another location. The height is calculated, the removed cassette safe is carried to another place, the amount of money is calculated, and the cassette safe that collects or replenishes banknotes is carried to the removed banknote depositing and dispensing machine. .

  On the other hand, the withdrawal reject box is generally fixedly installed in the apparatus so as to store bills fed out from each stacker by denomination mixing. When calculating the amount of money in the apparatus, of course, the reject banknotes stored in the withdrawal reject box must also be calculated. For this reason, with respect to the reject banknote, an attendant directly collects the reject banknote stored in the withdrawal reject store from the withdrawal reject store at the time of maintenance.

  Of course, it is also conceivable to return all reject banknotes in the withdrawal reject bank to the original stacker. As a result, the same type of reject banknotes are also stored in the cassette safe, which facilitates calculation of the amount of money during maintenance. However, it is impossible to accurately discriminate the bad banknotes originally stored as reject banknotes and distribute them to the corresponding stackers without human intervention.

Regarding the handling of such reject banknotes, there is known a banknote depositing / dispensing machine that can collect reject banknotes without directly touching a hand (for example, see Patent Document 1). According to this bill depositing / dispensing machine, a withdrawal / rejection storage is integrally provided at the lowermost stage of the detachable cassette safe, and rejected bills are stored therein by denomination mixing. As a result, while removing the cassette safe in which the stacker and the withdrawal reject box are removed and transported to the place where the stock amount is calculated, not only the banknotes in the stacker but also the rejected banknotes will not be touched by human hands. Therefore, it is possible to safely manage the bankroll.

A bill depositing / dispensing machine comprising a plurality of withdrawal reject boxes each including

  According to such a banknote deposit / withdrawal machine, the withdrawal / rejection storage is provided corresponding to each stacker stored in each type of money, so each withdrawal / rejection storage has a banknote stored in the corresponding stacker. Reject banknotes of the same denomination as are stored. Therefore, at the time of maintenance, the reject banknote in the withdrawal reject box can be returned to the corresponding stacker without sorting the denomination, so that the stacker can store banknotes of the same denomination including the reject banknote. Therefore, it is possible to easily calculate the amount in stock.

  The banknote depositing and dispensing machine according to the present invention is configured so as to correspond to the stacker that stores the withdrawal reject bank for each denomination, thereby corresponding to the denominations of the reject banknotes stored in each withdrawal reject bank. Can be the same as the stacker banknote denomination. For this reason, at the time of maintenance, all the banknotes of the same denomination can be collected in the corresponding stacker simply by returning the rejected banknote of the withdrawal reject bank to the corresponding stacker as it is, so the amount of money in the device is easily calculated. There is an advantage that you can.

  In the present invention, since the stacker is configured to be detachable, banknotes of the same denomination, including rejected banknotes, can be carried to a place where the amount of money is calculated without touching the hands, so it is safe to manage the amount of money. Can be done.

  Furthermore, in the present invention, the reject banknotes stored in the withdrawal reject bank are of the same denomination as the banknotes of the corresponding stacker, and therefore return when returning the reject banknotes from the withdrawal reject bank to the corresponding stacker during maintenance. Since it is not necessary to identify the denomination to determine the previous stacker, it is possible to increase the transport speed of the corresponding stacker from the withdrawal reject warehouse, and shorten the pre-processing for inventory management. .

Next, the operation | movement at the time of banknote depositing in the banknote depositing / withdrawing machine 10 of the said structure is demonstrated.
FIG. 2 is an explanatory view for explaining the operation at the time of banknote deposit. In FIG. 2, in order to avoid the complexity of the drawing, the belts constituting each conveyance unit are omitted.

  The depositing operation is started when a bill is inserted into the bill depositing unit 11 and detected by a bill insertion sensor (not shown). The banknotes inserted into the banknote depositing unit 11 are separated one by one and sequentially fed out to the deposited banknote transporting unit 18. At this time, the switching gate 24 switches the conveyance path to the side where the banknotes transported by the deposited banknote transport section 18 are directed toward the discrimination section 12, so that the banknotes transported by the deposited banknote transport section 18 are identified. Part 12 is entered, and the authenticity and denomination of the banknote deposited here are determined.

  Here, according to the discrimination result by the discrimination unit 12, when the deposited banknote is a genuine coin and the denomination thereof is, for example, a 10,000 yen banknote, the switching gate 25 is transported to the side connecting the transport unit 19 and the transport unit 20. Switching the path, the switching gate 26 switches the transport path to the side connecting the transport unit 20 and the 10,000 yen banknote stacker 14. In addition, when the deposited banknote is a true coin and the denomination thereof is any one of 1,000 yen, 2,000 yen and 5,000 yen, the switching gate 25 is connected to the side connecting the transport unit 19 and the mixed banknote stacker 13. Switch the transport path.

  Therefore, when the banknote discriminated by the discrimination unit 12 is 10,000 yen, the banknote is transported by the transport units 19 and 20, the transport path is switched by the switching gate 26, and is inserted into the 10,000 yen banknote stacker 14. Loaded and stored.

  Further, when the banknote discriminated by the discrimination unit 12 is a denomination of one thousand yen, two thousand yen or five thousand yen, the banknote is transported by the transport unit 19, and the transport path is changed by the switching gate 25. It is switched to be inserted into the mixed banknote stacker 13 and loaded and stored therein.

  Further, when the deposited banknote cannot be discriminated as a genuine coin by the discriminating unit 12, the switching gates 25 and 26 switch the conveying path to the side connecting the conveying units 19, 20, and 21, and the switching gates 27, 28, and 29 are conveyed. The units 21 and 22 and the withdrawal banknote transport unit 23 are switched to the retreat side. As a result, the deposited banknote that could not be identified as a genuine coin is transported from the discrimination unit 12 by the transporting units 19, 20, 21, and 22 and the withdrawal banknote transporting unit 23 and is inserted into the banknote dispensing unit 17 to complete the depositing operation. Later, it is returned from the banknote outlet by the banknote dispensing unit 17.

  Next, when there is a payout request operation, or after the deposit operation as described above is performed, if bill change is required or the deposit operation is canceled, the mixed banknote stacker 13 and / or Although it is necessary to pay out or return the banknotes stored in the 10,000 yen banknote stacker 14, the operation at the time of banknote withdrawal in the banknote depositing and dispensing machine 10 in that case will be described.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory view for explaining the operation at the time of banknote withdrawal.
When making a withdrawal, first the gate is switched according to the denomination to be withdrawn. That is, when the banknote to be withdrawn is, for example, 10,000 yen, the switching gate 26 is switched to the side where the banknote fed out from the 10,000 yen banknote stacker 14 is transferred to the transport unit 20, and the switching gate 25 is switched between the transport unit 20 and the transport unit 19. The switching gate 24 is switched to the side where the banknotes coming out from the discrimination unit 12 are directed to the switching gate 27, and the switching gate 27 is on the side passing the banknotes coming out from the switching gate 24 to the transport unit 21. Can be switched.

  Next, the banknotes stored in the 10,000 yen banknote stacker 14 are fed out by the banknote feeding section 31 and passed to the transport section 20 via the switching gate 26. The banknote is conveyed to the discrimination unit 12 via the conveyance unit 20 and the conveyance unit 19, and is identified here.

  As a result of the discrimination, when the banknote is suitable for withdrawal, the switching gates 28 and 29 provided adjacent to the mixed banknote reject box 15 and the 10,000 yen banknote reject box 16 are at a position where they are retracted from the banknote conveyance path. Can be switched. Accordingly, the banknotes exiting the discrimination section 12 are transferred to the transport section 21 via the switching gates 24 and 27, and are transported by the transport section 22 and the withdrawal banknote transport section 23 from there and inserted into the banknote withdrawal section 17. The The banknotes thrown into the banknote dispensing unit 17 are held there, and are dispensed together from the banknote dispensing port after the dispensing operation is completed.

  As a result of discrimination, when the banknote is a reject banknote that is not suitable for withdrawal, such as a banknote that has been fed out from the 10,000 yen banknote stacker 14, the switching gate 28 provided adjacent to the 10,000 yen banknote reject box 16 is transported. The banknote conveyed by the unit 21 is switched to the side where the banknote is directed to the 10,000 yen banknote reject box 16. Thereby, the reject banknote is thrown into and stored in the 10,000 yen banknote reject box 16.

  When the banknote to be withdrawn is other than 10,000 yen, the operation when the 10,000 yen banknote is withdrawn, except that the switching gate 25 is switched to the side of transferring the banknote fed from the mixed banknote stacker 13 to the transport unit 19. The same. Of course, when the banknote drawn out from the mixed banknote stacker 13 is a reject banknote, the switching gate 29 provided adjacent to the mixed banknote reject box 15 uses the banknotes transported by the transport unit 22 as a mixed banknote reject box. The rejected banknote is stored in the mixed banknote reject box 15 by switching to the side directed to the banknote 15.

  In addition, since the mixed banknote stacker 13 is configured so that banknotes stacked and stored by denomination mixing are sequentially fed out one by one from the top, the banknotes fed out at the time of withdrawal are not necessarily denominations to be dispensed. Sometimes. In such a case, the banknotes fed out from the mixed banknote stacker 13 are discriminated as reject banknotes in the discrimination unit 12 and stored in the mixed banknote reject box 15. Thus, the banknote evacuated to the mixed banknote reject box 15 can be returned to the mixed banknote stacker 13 after the dispensing operation is completed.

  Next, at the time of maintenance, when checking the banknote amount in the apparatus, the reject banknotes stored in the mixed banknote reject box 15 and the 10,000 yen banknote reject box 16 are mixed banknote stacker 13 and 10,000 yen banknote stacker 14. Returned to This is because when the banknotes fed from the mixed banknote stacker 13 and the 10,000 yen banknote stacker 14 are stored in the mixed banknote reject bank 15 and the 10,000 yen banknote reject bank 16 as reject banknotes in the above-described operation at the time of withdrawal. By using the same conveyance path, the reject banknotes fed by the banknote feeding units 32 and 33 from the mixed banknote reject bank 15 and the 10,000 yen banknote reject bank 16 are transported in the reverse direction and can be stored in their original storage locations. . At this time, the return banknotes of the rejected banknotes in the mixed banknote reject box 15 are determined to return to the mixed banknote stacker 13 and the reject banknotes of the 10,000 yen banknote reject box 16 are determined to return to the 10,000 yen banknote stacker 14, respectively. Therefore, when rejected banknotes pass through the discrimination unit 12, they are simply passed without discrimination.

  After all reject banknotes have been returned to the mixed banknote stacker 13 and the 10,000 yen banknote stacker 14 in this way, the mixed banknote stacker 13 and the 10,000 yen banknote stacker 14 are removed from the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 10 to increase the stock amount. It is carried to the place where it calculates, and there is a calculation of the amount of money there.

  In addition, in the above description, the bills are divided and stored in 10,000 yen bills and bills of other denominations. However, the sorting of these denominations is not limited to them and should be arbitrarily set. Can do.

  In the above description, the case where two stackers for storing banknotes are provided has been described. However, the number of stackers is not limited to two, and three or more stackers may be provided. In that case, as many reject warehouses as the number of stackers are provided.

It is a side view which shows schematic structure of the banknote depositing / withdrawing machine by this invention. It is explanatory drawing explaining the operation | movement at the time of banknote payment. It is explanatory drawing explaining the operation | movement at the time of banknote payment.
