  That is, the control unit 20 delivers the coins and banknotes for the amount of money designated for withdrawal to the customer.

  In this way, the control unit 20 withdraws the coins by the coin processing unit 16, and withdraws the banknotes by the banknote processing unit 18, and cash as a transaction desired by the customer (that is, coins and banknotes). Withdrawals can be made.

  By the way, as for the above-mentioned coin delivery part 23, while the said light emitting element of the optical sensor which consists of a pair of light emitting element and a light receiving element is arrange | positioned in one of a pair of edge part which the opening part of a coin receiving tray opposes, the other A light receiving element is disposed on the surface.

  As a result, the control unit 20 causes the light sensor to receive the light beam emitted by the light emitting element at the time of depositing or withdrawing, depending on whether or not the light beam is temporarily blocked. Thus, the opening and closing of the coin slot shutter 6 is controlled.

  In actuality, when depositing, the control unit 20 opens the coin slot shutter 6 by the coin slot shutter opening / closing part 15 as described above to urge the customer to insert coins for deposit into the coin slot 4AX.

  At this time, the control unit 20 temporarily receives the light beam by a coin inserted into the coin insertion / extraction port 4AX or a hand inserted into the coin insertion / extraction port 4AX for insertion of the coin for depositing. The coin mouth shutter 6 is closed by the coin mouth shutter opening / closing part 15 after that.

  However, depending on the optical sensor provided in the coin delivery unit 23, the control unit 20 determines whether the coin inserted into the coin insertion / extraction port 4AX is a depositing coin or a foreign object. I don't get it.

  For this reason, in the coin processing unit 16, when a foreign object is mistakenly inserted into the coin insertion / extraction port 4 </ b> AX alone or together with a coin for depositing at the time of deposit, It is received by a tray and conveyed from the coin delivery unit 23 to the coin separation unit 24 via the coin conveyance path 30.

  For example, the coin separation unit 24 separates a plurality of coins one by one using a predetermined coin separation method, but the foreign matter removal of the first foreign matter shooter 32 is a foreign matter that cannot be separated as a coin by the coin separation method. It is designed to be put into the transport path from the entrance.

  As a result, the coin separator 24 receives a foreign object from the coin delivery unit 23 and returns the foreign object via the first foreign object shooter 32 when a foreign substance is accidentally inserted into the coin insertion / extraction port 4AX by the customer at the time of deposit. It is conveyed to the part 19.

  Moreover, the said light emitting element of the optical sensor which consists of a pair of light emitting element and a light receiving element is arrange | positioned also at the above-mentioned banknote delivery part 36 at one side of a pair of edge part which the opening part of a banknote receiving tray opposes similarly to the coin delivery part 23. In addition, a light receiving element is disposed on the other side.

  Thereby, at the time of depositing or withdrawing, the control unit 20 causes the light sensor to receive the light beam emitted by the light emitting element by the light receiving element, and whether or not the light reception of the light beam is temporarily blocked. Accordingly, the opening / closing of the bill slot shutter 7 is controlled.

  In actuality, when depositing, the control unit 20 opens the bill mouth shutter 7 by the bill mouth shutter opening / closing section 17 as described above, and prompts the customer to insert a bill for deposit into the bill insertion / extraction port 4AY.

  At this time, the control unit 20 temporarily receives the light beam by a bill inserted into the bill insertion / extraction port 4AY or a hand inserted into the bill insertion / extraction port 4AY for insertion of the bill for depositing. The banknote slot shutter 7 is then closed by the banknote slot shutter opening / closing section 17 assuming that the banknote for depositing is inserted into the banknote slot / outlet 4AY.

  However, the control unit 20 may be inserted into the banknote insertion / removal port 4AY depending on the optical sensor provided in the banknote delivery unit 36, as in the case where the above-described deposit coin is inserted. It cannot be determined whether it is a banknote for deposit or a foreign object.

  For this reason, in the banknote processing unit 18, when a foreign object is mistakenly inserted into the banknote insertion / extraction port 4 </ b> AY alone or together with a banknote for depositing, the foreign substance (and banknote) is transferred to the banknote of the banknote delivery unit 36. Although received by the tray, a plurality of slits are formed on the bottom of the banknote tray for allowing the foreign matter to fall below the banknote tray while the banknote is kept in the banknote tray.

  Moreover, the banknote delivery part 36 receives under the banknote tray the foreign material which fell from the banknote tray, conveys it to the end of the 2nd foreign material shooter 45, and enters the conveyance path from the foreign material intake port of the said 2nd foreign material shooter 45 concerned. A conveyor belt is provided for allowing foreign objects to fall.

  As a result, when a foreign object is mistakenly inserted into the banknote insertion / removal port 4AY by the customer at the time of depositing, the banknote delivery unit 36 passes the foreign object through the slit at the bottom while being received by the banknote tray, and then the conveyance belt. And it conveys to the foreign material return part 19 via the 2nd foreign material shooter 45 sequentially.

  In addition to this, in the coin processing unit 16, for example, it is detected whether or not a foreign substance has passed through the conveyance path to one end of the first foreign substance shooter 32 (that is, one end that is a connection part with the coin separating part 24). A predetermined sensor (hereinafter also referred to as a first foreign object sensor) is provided.

  Therefore, the control unit 20 detects that a foreign object is erroneously inserted into the coin insertion / extraction port 4AX via the first foreign object sensor when a foreign object is erroneously input into the coin insertion / extraction port 4AX at the time of deposit. In addition, it is possible to detect that the foreign matter is conveyed to the foreign matter return unit 19 via the first foreign matter shooter 32.

  In addition, for the banknote processing unit 18, for example, to detect whether or not a foreign substance has passed through the conveyance path at one end of the second foreign matter shooter 45 (that is, one end that is a connection portion with the banknote delivery unit 36). The predetermined sensor (hereinafter also referred to as a second foreign matter sensor) is provided.

  Therefore, the control unit 20 confirms that a foreign object has been mistakenly inserted into the banknote insertion / extraction port 4AY via the second foreign object sensor even when a foreign object is erroneously input into the banknote insertion / extraction port 4AY at the time of deposit. It can be detected, and it can be detected that the foreign material is conveyed to the foreign material return unit 19 via the second foreign material shooter 45.

  Then, when a foreign object is mistakenly inserted into the coin insertion / extraction port 4AX or the bill insertion / extraction port 4AY by the customer, the control unit 20 detects the foreign object via the first foreign material sensor or the second foreign material sensor. It prompts to take out the foreign matter from the return port 2AX.

  As a result, the control unit 20 can return the foreign matter to the customer via the return port 2AX even if the foreign matter is erroneously put into the coin insertion / extraction port 4AX or the bill insertion / extraction port 4AY.

(1-3) Configuration of Foreign Object Returning Unit Next, the configuration of the foreign material return unit 19 for returning the foreign material erroneously input to the coin insertion / extraction port 4AX and the banknote insertion / extraction port 4AY will be described.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the foreign object return portion 19 has a recess 2 </ b> AY for forming the return port 2 </ b> AX provided on the left side of the lower end portion of the front surface 2 </ b> A of the front panel 2.

  The concave portion 2AY is formed so as to protrude in a mountain shape along the vertical direction of the depositing machine on the rear surface 2B side of the front panel 2 while being recessed in a valley shape along the vertical direction of the depositing machine on the front surface 2A side of the front panel 2. Yes.

  That is, the recess 2AY is formed so that the depth thereof gradually increases from the upper edge to the center and gradually decreases from the deepest center to the lower edge on the front surface 2A side of the front panel 2. .

  Accordingly, the concave portion 2AY is inclined such that the concave surface 2AZ, which is a part of the surface thereof (that is, the surface on the front surface 2A side of the front panel 2), has an upper end portion facing the front obliquely lower side with the central portion as a boundary. It is formed in a valley shape such as a substantially arched shape or a substantially square shape that inclines so that the portion faces the front obliquely upper side.

  In the following description, the upper end portion of the concave surface 2AZ of the concave portion 2AY that is inclined so as to face the front obliquely lower side with the center as a boundary is also referred to as a front obliquely downward inclined portion, and faces the front obliquely upper side. The lower end part inclined in the direction is also referred to as a front oblique upward inclined part.

  In addition, the recess 2AY is formed such that, on the rear surface 2B side of the front panel 2, the height from the rear surface 2B gradually increases from the upper edge to the center and gradually decreases from the highest center to the lower edge. Has been.

  Therefore, the recess 2AY has a rear surface (that is, a surface on the rear surface 2B side of the front panel 2) corresponding to the shape of the concave surface 2AZ. It is formed in a mountain shape such as a substantially bow shape or a substantially square shape that is inclined so as to face obliquely upward and has a lower end portion inclined so as to face obliquely downward.

  Incidentally, in the following description, the upper end portion of the convex surface 2AM of the recess 2AY that is inclined so as to face the rear oblique upper side from the center portion is also referred to as a rear oblique upward inclined portion, and is directed to the rear oblique lower side. The lower end that is inclined to the rear is also called a rear obliquely downward inclined portion.

  In the recess 2AY, the above-described return port 2AX formed of a substantially rectangular through-hole is formed at a front obliquely upward inclined portion (that is, a lower end portion) of the concave surface 2AZ.

  As a result, when the customer facing the front surface 2A of the front panel 2 of the automatic teller machine 1 turns the line of sight diagonally downward, the foreign object return unit 19 visually makes the return port 2AX smaller than the actual size. Preventing it from becoming smaller.

  In other words, when the customer facing the front surface 2A of the front panel 2 of the automatic teller machine 1 turns his / her line of sight diagonally downward, the foreign object return unit 19 can show the return port 2AX almost as it is. The visibility of the return port 2AX can be improved.

  The foreign object return unit 19 includes a substantially bucket-shaped tray (hereinafter, also referred to as a foreign object tray) 50 for receiving foreign objects conveyed from the coin processing unit 16 and the banknote processing unit 18.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the foreign object receiving tray 50 has a lateral width (that is, a length from the left surface of the left side plate 50A to the right side of the right side plate 50B), for example, a lateral width of the recess 2AY (that is, a length from the left edge to the right edge). Is selected almost equal to

  Further, in the foreign material receiving tray 50, the front upper end portions of the left side plate 50A and the right side plate 50B are notched obliquely so as to correspond to the shapes of the rear obliquely downward inclined portions of the convex surface 2AM of the concave portion 2AY.

  Further, the foreign material receiving tray 50 is formed in a substantially arc shape in which the bottom plate 50C is recessed downward, and a substantially U-shaped cutout portion 50DX is formed near the center of the upper end portion of the rear plate 50D.

  And the foreign material receiving tray 50 (FIG. 5) makes the front end of the bottom plate 50C contact the lower edge portion of the rear obliquely downward inclined portion on the convex surface 2AM of the concave portion 2AY, and the oblique front ends of the left side plate 50A and the right side plate 50B. It is provided so as to be in contact with the left edge portion and the right edge portion of the rear obliquely downward inclined portion.

  That is, in the foreign object return unit 19, the foreign object tray 50 has the arc-shaped bottom plate 50C positioned obliquely below the rear edge of the lower edge of the return port 2AX at the rear diagonally downwardly inclined portion of the convex surface 2AM that is behind the return port 2AX. It is provided as such.

  In addition, the foreign object receiving tray 50 has, for example, the other end parts of the first foreign object shooter 32 and the second foreign object shooter 45 arranged side by side in the notch 50DX of the rear plate 50D and the front side of the rear plate 50D (that is, the foreign object). It is slightly protruded and fitted in the receiving tray 50).

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 7, the foreign object return unit 19 has the foreign object 51 conveyed from the coin processing unit 16 and the banknote processing unit 18 by the first foreign object shooter 32 and the second foreign object shooter 45 and discharged from the foreign object discharge port. At this time, the foreign object 51 can be received by the foreign object tray 50 and placed on the arcuate bottom.

  Moreover, the foreign material return part 19 (FIG. 5) also has the substantially U-shaped door 52 formed transparently by the light-transmitting resin material for closing and opening the return port 2AX, for example.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the door 52 has a substantially square plate-shaped main body 52A whose surface is substantially equal to the shape and size of the return port 2AX.

  In the following description, in the door 52, the front surface 52AX of the main body portion 52A is also referred to as a door surface 52AX, and the back surface 52AY of the main body portion 52A is also referred to as a door back surface 52AY.

  The main body 52A has a substantially strip-shaped abutting portion 52B projecting from the left end to the right end on the door rear surface 52AY side at the lower end.

  In the following description, one surface 52BX of the abutting portion 52B that is one step lower than the door surface 52AX of the main body portion 52A in the door 52 is also referred to as an abutting surface 52BX.

  The main body 52A is provided with a substantially U-shaped left protrusion 52C and right protrusion 52D at the upper left end and upper right end of the door back surface 52AY, respectively.

  Further, the door 52 is formed with a pair of shaft attachment holes (not shown) at predetermined opposing positions of the upper front corner portion of the left projection portion 52C and the upper front corner portion of the right projection portion 52D, for example.

  In the door 52, the door rotation shaft 53 is sequentially inserted into the pair of shaft mounting holes with the longitudinal direction thereof parallel to the left-right direction of the depositing machine.

  As a result, the door 52 is attached with the door rotation shaft 53 protruded from the left surface of the left protruding portion 52C and the other end protruded from the right surface of the right protruding portion 52D (ie, the door rotating shaft 53). Fixed).

  Further, the foreign object tray 50 (FIG. 5) is inserted into a left shaft insertion hole and a right shaft not shown at predetermined opposing positions of the upper front corner portion of the right surface of the left plate 50A and the upper front corner portion of the left surface of the right plate 50B. A hole is formed.

  Therefore, in the door 52, one end portion of the door rotation shaft 53 is inserted from the right side into the left shaft insertion hole portion of the foreign material receiving tray 50 in a posture in which the door surface 52AX faces the front side and the door back surface 52AY faces the rear side. At the same time, the other end portion of the door rotation shaft 53 is inserted into the right shaft insertion hole portion of the foreign object tray 50 from the left side.

  As a result, the foreign object return unit 19 uses the foreign object tray 50 to center the door 52 on the door rotation shaft 53 parallel to the left-right direction of the depositing machine, and to reverse the rotation direction indicated by the arrow d1 in the drawing and the reverse of this. It is supported so as to be rotatable in the rotation direction.

  Incidentally, one rotation direction which is the rotation direction of the door 52 is a rotation direction for closing the door 52 with respect to the return port 2AX, and the other rotation direction which is the rotation direction of the door 52 is the door with respect to the return port 2AX. This is the rotation direction for opening 52.

  Therefore, in the following description, one rotation direction that is the rotation direction of the door 52 is also referred to as a closing direction, and the other rotation direction that is the rotation direction of the door 52 is also referred to as an opening direction.

  By the way, the left of the door 52 provided on the door back surface 52AY of the main body 52A so that the center of gravity of the door 52 acts to close the return port 2AX by rotating the door 52 in the closing direction. The shape, size, and the like of the protrusion 52C and the right protrusion 52D are appropriately selected.

  That is, the center of gravity of the door 52 is selected such that, for example, the main body 52A, the left protrusion 52C, and the right protrusion 52D are balanced in a posture in which the door surface 52AX faces obliquely upward.

  Therefore, the foreign object return unit 19 urges the door 52 to close with respect to the return port 2AX by rotating the door 52 in the closing direction around the door rotation shaft 53 by the center of gravity.

  Therefore, in the state where no external force is applied to the door 52 (that is, the customer's hand is not touching the door surface 52AX), the foreign object return unit 19 rotates the door 52 in the closing direction so that the abutting surface 52BX is recessed. It abuts on the lower edge portion of the return port 2AX on the convex surface 2AM of 2AY.

  As a result, the foreign matter return portion 19 has the return port 2AX formed at the front obliquely upward inclined portion in the concave surface 2AZ of the concave portion 2AY, but the main body portion 52A of the door 52 is directed so that the door surface 52AX is directed obliquely upward to the front. The door 52 can be tilted and fitted into the return port 2AX, and thus the door 52 can be closed with respect to the return port 2AX.

  When the foreign matter return unit 19 (FIG. 7) closes the door 52 with respect to the return port 2AX, the foreign matter 51 transported by the first foreign matter shooter 32 and the second foreign matter shooter 45 is discharged from the foreign matter discharge port. The foreign matter 51 can be prevented from jumping out through the return port 2AX.

  That is, the foreign object return unit 19 accurately receives and holds the foreign object 51 transported by the first foreign object shooter 32 and the second foreign object shooter 45 in the state where the door 52 is closed with respect to the return port 2AX. I can keep it.

  As shown in FIG. 9, when the door surface 52AX is pushed by the customer to the back side of the return port 2AX by the customer with the door 52 closed, the foreign object return unit 19 changes the door 52 to the door accordingly. It is rotated in the opening direction around the rotation shaft 53.

  As a result, the foreign object return unit 19 pulls out the main body 52A of the door 52 from the return port 2AX and tilts the door surface 52AX toward the front diagonally lower side behind the return port 2AX, thus forming the return port 2AX. The door 52 can be opened.

  In this way, when the door 52 is opened by the customer, the foreign object return unit 19 moves the foreign object tray into the return port 2AX by pressing the door surface 52AX to open the door 52 to the customer. The foreign matter 51 in 50 can be taken out from the return port 2AX.

  Then, when the customer's hand is pulled out from the return port 2AX, the foreign object return unit 19 rotates the door 52 in the closing direction by the center of gravity and pushes the abutment surface 52BX into the lower edge portion of the return port 2AX on the convex surface 2AM of the recess 2AY. Hit it.

  As a result, the foreign object return unit 19 tilts the main body 52A of the door 52 so that the door surface 52AX faces obliquely upward in the front, and engages the return port 2AX. Can be closed.

  In this way, the foreign object return unit 19 can be simplified without providing any special parts such as a spring or a spring locking unit for urging the door 52 to rotate in the closing direction in addition to the door 52. The door 52 can be freely opened and closed with a simple configuration.

  In addition to this, the foreign matter return portion 19 (FIG. 5) is provided with, for example, a substantially hemispherical substrate mounting portion 55 on the convex surface 2AM of the concave portion 2AY near the center of the rear obliquely upward inclined portion, and one end portion of the foreign matter return portion 19 50 is provided on the upper side.

  The foreign object return unit 19 is configured such that a circuit board 57 in which one light emitting element 56 such as an LED (Light Emitting Diode) is mounted on the lower surface of one end of the board attaching unit 55 emits light from the light emitting element 56. The surface is attached to the bottom surface of the foreign object receiving tray 50.

  As a result, the foreign object return unit 19 continuously emits illumination light of a predetermined color such as blue or white from the light emitting surface of the light emitting element 56 under the control of the control unit 20 when the foreign object 51 is taken out by the customer. The inside of the foreign material receiving tray 50 can be illuminated by firing (that is, by continuously emitting light from the light emitting surface).

  Moreover, in the foreign material return part 19, the door 52 is transparently formed with the light-transmitting resin material as mentioned above.

  Therefore, when the light emitting element 56 emits illumination light, the foreign object return unit 19 reflects the illumination light directly and on the inner surface of the foreign object tray 50 so as to irradiate the door rear surface 52AY of the door 52 so that the door 52 Make it transparent.

  Thereby, the foreign substance return part 19 can show the inside of the illuminated foreign substance receptacle 50 through the main-body part 52A of the door 52 from the outside.

  And the foreign material return part 19 is in the state which is illuminating the inside of the foreign material tray 50 in this way, and when the customer who faces the front surface 2A of the front panel 2 of the automatic teller machine 1 turns its line of sight diagonally downward, Since the inside of the return port 2AX is bright, the visibility of the return port 2AX can be further improved.

  Moreover, since the foreign material return part 19 is illuminating the foreign material receptacle 50 in this way, when the foreign material 51 in the foreign material receptacle 50 is actually taken out by the customer via the return port 2AX, the kind and quantity of the foreign material 51, The presence or absence of forgetting can be easily confirmed.

  In particular, while the foreign object return unit 19 illuminates the inside of the foreign object tray 50, the inside of the foreign object tray 50 can be seen from the outside through the main body 52A of the door 52. Even after closing, it can be confirmed whether the foreign object 51 has been forgotten.

In the case of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the return port 2AX of the foreign object return unit 19 has a width L1 (that is, a length from the left edge to the right edge), for example, the width of an adult hand. (i.e., the lateral width of the case having uniform finger) is selected over a predetermined length.

  Further, the return port 2AX has a vertical width L2 (that is, a length from the upper edge to the lower edge), for example, selected to be a predetermined length that is equal to or greater than the thickness of an adult's hand.

  That is, the return port 2AX of the foreign object return unit 19 is selected to have a predetermined size enough for an adult's hand to enter.

  Thereby, the foreign object return unit 19 can easily insert the customer's hand into the return port 2AX, and can easily take out the foreign object 51 from the foreign object tray 50 via the return port 2AX.

  In addition to this, the recess 2AY of the foreign object return portion 19 has a predetermined length that is, for example, a width L3 on the front surface 2A side of the front panel 2 (ie, a length from the left edge to the right edge) longer than the width L1 of the return port 2AX. Is selected.

  Further, the recess 2AY has a predetermined length in which the vertical width L4 on the front surface 2A side of the front panel 2 (that is, the length from the upper edge to the lower edge) is longer than, for example, twice the vertical width L2 of the return port 2AX. Has been selected.

  The recess 2AY is formed so that the front surface 2A side of the front panel 2 gradually becomes deeper from the upper edge to the center as described above.

  Therefore, the foreign object return unit 19 makes the return port 2AX easily visible when a customer facing the front surface 2A of the front panel 2 of the automatic teller machine 1 turns his line of sight diagonally downward.

  In addition, the foreign object return unit 19 is arranged so that when the customer's hand is brought closer to the return port 2AX from the upper side for taking out the foreign object 51, the return port is arranged along the front obliquely downward inclined portion of the concave surface 2AZ of the concave portion 2AY. Can lead to 2AX.

  Thereby, the foreign material return part 19 can make it easier to insert a customer's hand into the return port 2AX.

  Here, at the time of depositing, the control unit 20 opens the coin slot shutter 6 and the bill slot shutter 7 to prompt the customer to insert coins and bills for deposit, and then, as described above, the shutter 6 for the coin slot and When the bill slot shutter 7 is closed, the coin processing unit 16 and the bill processing unit 18 are controlled so as to deposit coins and bills.

  Further, when the control unit 20 closes the coin slot shutter 6 and the bill slot shutter 7 in this manner, at that time, for example, to the customer as shown in FIG. A transaction procedure guide image (hereinafter also referred to as a standby guide image) 60 for prompting the user to wait in front of the automatic teller machine 1 is displayed.

  In the standby guidance image 60, for example, a guidance sentence 61 such as “I am currently processing, please wait for a while” is arranged at the upper end to guide the customer to wait in front of the cash dispenser 1. Yes.

  As a result, the control unit 20 continues to display the standby guidance image 60 on the touch screen 5 while depositing coins and banknotes by the coin processing unit 16 and the banknote processing unit 18, and displays the standby guidance image 60 on the front of the cash dispenser 1. Prompt to wait at.

  However, when the control unit 20 starts to display the standby guidance image 60 on the touch screen 5 and then detects the foreign matter 51 via the first foreign matter sensor or the second foreign matter sensor, the foreign matter return unit 19 at that point in time at the circuit board The light emitting element 56 is controlled via 57 to start emitting illumination light continuously to the light emitting element 56.

  As a result, the control unit 20 illuminates the foreign matter receptacle 50 in the foreign matter return unit 19 and the main body 52A of the door 52 in a state where the illuminated foreign matter receptacle 50 is closed to the return port 2AX from the outside. To see through.

  When the control unit 20 detects the foreign matter 51 via the first foreign matter sensor or the second foreign matter sensor, the control unit 20 superimposes the standby guidance image 60 on the touch screen 5 and based on the transaction procedure guidance image data, for example, as shown in FIG. A transaction procedure guide image (hereinafter also referred to as a “takeout guide image”) 62 for prompting the customer to take out the foreign object 51 is displayed.

  In the extraction guide image 62, for example, a guidance sentence 63 such as “Please take the coins under your feet” for guiding the customer to take out the foreign object 51 is arranged at the center.

  Further, the take-out guidance image 62 is provided with a confirmation icon 64 for causing the customer to perform a touch operation when the guidance item by the guidance sentence 63 is confirmed, for example, at the right corner.

  As a result, the control unit 20 prompts the customer to take out the foreign matter 51 that has been mistakenly inserted into the coin insertion / extraction port 4AX or the bill insertion / extraction port 4AY from the return port 2AX. it can.

  Then, when the customer lowers his / her line of sight so as to look at his / her feet and face the lower side of the front surface 2A of the front panel 2 in accordance with the guidance by the take-out guidance image 62, the control unit 20 By forming the return port 2AX at an obliquely upwardly inclined portion, the return port 2AX can be accurately recognized.

  Further, at this time, the control unit 20 illuminates the inside of the foreign material receptacle 50 which is the back of the return port 2AX, so that the illuminated foreign matter receptacle 50 can be seen through the door 52.

  In other words, the control unit 20 makes the return port 2AX brighter in the front surface 2A of the front panel 2 because the inside of the return port 2AX is brightened at this time.

  In this way, the control unit 20 causes the customer to accurately recognize the position of the return port 2AX in the front surface 2A of the front panel 2, and then takes out the foreign material 51 from the foreign material tray 50 through the return port 2AX. be able to.

  By the way, when the confirmation icon 64 of the extraction guide image 62 is touched by the customer via the touch screen 5, the control unit 20 stops the display of the extraction guide image 62 (that is, deletes it) and performs the touch. Only the standby guidance image 60 is displayed on the screen 5.

  However, when the extraction guide image 62 is displayed on the touch screen 5, the control unit 20 allows the customer to touch the confirmation icon 64 at any timing before and after the foreign object 51 is taken out from the return port 2AX. .

  For this reason, when the confirmation icon 64 of the extraction guide image 62 is touch-operated via the touch screen 5 by the customer, the control unit 20 continues until a predetermined lighting stop time selected in advance from that point. The foreign object return unit 19 continues to illuminate the foreign object tray 50.

  Incidentally, the illumination stop time is determined when the foreign object 51 is removed from the return port 2AX after the confirmation icon 64 in the extraction guide image 62 is touched by the customer. It is selected based on the time expected to take until the time.

  Thereby, the control unit 20 illuminates the inside of the foreign material tray 50 of the foreign material return unit 19 even when the foreign material 51 is taken out from the return port 2AX after the customer touches the confirmation icon 64 of the extraction guide image 62. It is possible to make it easier for the customer to visually recognize the return port 2AX in the front surface 2A of the front panel 2 and to make sure that the foreign object 51 is forgotten.

(1-4) Foreign Object Extraction Processing Procedure Next, using the flowchart shown in FIG. 13, the control unit 20 returns the foreign object 51 erroneously inserted into the coin insertion / extraction port 4AX or the bill insertion / extraction port 4AY to the customer at the return port 2AX. A foreign matter extraction processing procedure RT1 for taking out the image from the camera will be described.

  At the time of depositing, for example, the control unit 20 opens the coin slot shutter 6 and the bill slot shutter 7 to prompt the customer to insert coins and bills, and then opens the coin slot shutter 6 and the bill slot shutter 7. When closed, the foreign matter extraction processing procedure RT1 shown in FIG. 13 is started in accordance with the foreign matter extraction processing program stored in advance in the internal memory.

  When the foreign matter removal processing procedure RT1 is started, the control unit 20 determines in step SP1 whether or not the foreign matter 51 has been put into the coin insertion / extraction port 4AX and the bill insertion / extraction port 4AY.

  If a negative result is obtained in this step SP1, this means that the foreign object 51 has been inserted into at least one of the coin insertion / extraction port 4AX and the bill insertion / extraction port 4AY. 2 indicates that the process is being performed so as to be handed over to the foreign object shooter 45 and is not detected via the first foreign object sensor or the second foreign object sensor.

  The negative result also indicates that there is a possibility that the foreign object 51 may not be inserted into either the coin insertion / extraction port 4AX or the bill insertion / extraction port 4AY. If the control unit 20 obtains such a negative result in step SP1, the control unit 20 proceeds to the next step SP2.

  By the way, for example, when the foreign matter extraction processing procedure RT1 is started, the control unit 20 starts measuring the elapsed processing time by an internal timer at the start of the processing.

  Therefore, in step SP2, for example, the control unit 20 determines that the processing elapsed time is not inserted into the coin insertion / extraction port 4AX and the bill insertion / extraction port 4AY. It is determined whether or not the determination time has been reached.

  If a negative result is obtained in this step SP2, this means that the processing elapsed time has not reached the foreign object non-insertion determination time, so the foreign object 51 inserted into at least one of the coin input / exit 4AX and the bill input / exit 4AY. Is still likely to be detected via the first foreign matter sensor or the second foreign matter sensor. If the control unit 20 obtains such a negative result in step SP2, it returns to step SP1.

  As a result, the control unit 20 thereafter repeatedly executes the processing of step SP1 and step SP2 cyclically until a positive result is obtained in either step SP1 or step SP2.

  In this way, the control unit 20 waits for detection of the foreign matter 51 inserted into the coin insertion / extraction port 4AX and the bill insertion / extraction port 4AY, and the processing elapsed time to reach the foreign material non-input determination time.

  If a positive result is obtained in step SP1, this means that the foreign matter 51 put into at least one of the coin insertion / extraction port 4AX and the bill insertion / extraction port 4AY is detected via the first foreign matter sensor or the second foreign matter sensor, It shows that the material has been conveyed to the foreign material return unit 19 via the first foreign material shooter 32 and the second foreign material shooter 45. When the control unit 20 obtains such a positive result in step SP1, the control unit 20 proceeds to step SP3.

  In step SP3, the control unit 20 causes the light-emitting element 56 to emit illumination light in the foreign object return unit 19, so that the inside of the foreign object tray 50 starts to be seen through the door 52 from the outside, and the next step SP4 is performed. Move.

  In step SP4, the control unit 20 displays an extraction guide image 62 on the touch screen 5 so as to overlap the standby guide image 60.

  Thereby, the control unit 20 urges the customer to take out the foreign matter 51 that has been erroneously inserted into the coin insertion / extraction port 4AX and the bill insertion / extraction port 4AY from the return port 2AX via the extraction guide image 62, Next step SP5 follows.

  In step SP5, the control unit 20 awaits that the confirmation icon 64 in the extraction guide image 62 is touched by the customer via the touch screen 5.

  In step SP5, when the control unit 20 detects that the confirmation icon 64 in the extraction guide image 62 is touched by the customer via the touch screen 5, the touch operation is performed by the internal timer at that time. Is started, and the process proceeds to the next step SP6.

  In step SP6, the control unit 20 stops displaying the extraction guide image 62 on the touch screen 5, and proceeds to the next step SP7.

  In step SP7, the control unit 20 waits for the operation elapsed time to reach the illumination stop time.

  In step SP7, when the control unit 20 detects that the operation elapsed time has reached the illumination stop time, the control unit 20 proceeds to the next step SP8.

  In step SP8, the control unit 20 stops emission of the illumination light to the light emitting element 56 in the foreign object return unit 19 and stops (that is, turns off) the illumination in the foreign object tray 50, and then proceeds to the next step SP9. The foreign matter extraction processing procedure RT1 is terminated.

  By the way, if an affirmative result is obtained in the above-described step SP2, this means that the processing elapsed time has reached the foreign matter non-insertion determination time without detecting the foreign matter 51 via the first foreign matter sensor or the second foreign matter sensor. Indicates that no foreign matter 51 has been introduced into either the coin insertion / extraction port 4AX or the bill insertion / extraction port 4AY.

  If the control unit 20 obtains such a positive result in step SP2, the control unit 20 moves to step SP9 and ends the foreign matter extraction processing procedure RT1.

(1-5) Operation and Effect of Embodiment In the above configuration, in the cash dispenser 1, the customer looks at the front 2 </ b> A of the front panel 2 that the customer who visited to conduct the cash transaction faces. A concave portion 2AY that is recessed in a valley shape along the vertical direction of the depositing machine is provided at a predetermined position that is the tip of the line of sight when directed obliquely downward.

  Moreover, in the automatic teller machine 1, the foreign material receptacle which receives the foreign material 51 thrown into the coin insertion / extraction port 4AX and the bill insertion / extraction port 4AY at the rear obliquely downward inclined portion below the center portion on the convex surface 2AM of the concave portion 2AY. 50 was provided.

  Then, in the automatic teller machine 1, a return port 2AX for allowing the foreign matter 51 to be taken out from the foreign matter receptacle 50 on the convex surface 2AM side is formed in the concave surface 2AZ of the concave portion 2AY at a front obliquely upwardly inclined portion below the center portion. I did it.

  Therefore, the automatic teller machine 1 prevents the size of the return port 2AX from being visually smaller than the actual size when the customer facing the front surface 2A of the front panel 2 turns his line of sight diagonally downward. Thus, the return port 2AX can be shown in almost the actual size.

  According to the above configuration, the automatic teller machine 1 has a concave portion on the front surface 2A of the front panel 2 facing the customer at a predetermined position that is the tip of the line of sight when the customer turns his line of sight diagonally downward. 2AY is provided, and in the concave portion 2AY, a foreign matter receiving tray 50 for receiving the foreign matter 51 put in the coin insertion / extraction port 4AX and the bill insertion / extraction port 4AY is provided at a rear obliquely downwardly inclined portion of the convex surface 2AM on the back side, and a concave surface on the front side A return port 2AX for allowing the foreign matter 51 to be taken out from the foreign matter receptacle 50 is formed at a position inclined obliquely upward of 2AZ.

Thus automated teller machine 1, the front case of customer facing the front 2A of the panel 2 toward the line of sight to the obliquely downward side, prevented from becoming smaller than the actual size size of visually return opening 2AX Thus, the return port 2AX can be shown with almost the actual size.

  Therefore, the automatic teller machine 1 can make the customer accurately recognize the return port 2AX for taking out the foreign object 51. As a result, the automatic teller machine 1 can prevent the customer from forgetting the foreign object 51.

  Further, the automatic teller machine 1 is provided with a door 52 for closing and opening the return port 2AX in the foreign material tray 50 so as to be rotatable, and biasing the door 52 to rotate in the closing direction. did.

  Accordingly, the automatic teller machine 1 is returned to the front obliquely upward inclined portion of the concave surface 2AZ of the concave portion 2AY until an external force is applied to rotate the door 52 in the opening direction by touching the door 52 with the customer's hand. The door 52 can be closed with respect to the mouth 2AX.

  That is, the automatic teller machine 1 returns the return port when the foreign matter 51 inserted into the coin insertion / extraction port 4AX and the bill insertion / extraction port 4AY is conveyed to the foreign material tray 50 by the first foreign material shooter 32 and the second foreign material shooter 45. The door 52 can be closed with respect to 2AX.

  Therefore, when the foreign substance 51 conveyed by the 1st foreign material shooter 32 and the 2nd foreign material shooter 45 is discharged from the foreign material discharge port to the foreign material tray 50, the automatic teller machine 1 passes through the return port 2AX to the outside.

  Furthermore, the automatic teller machine 1 is provided with a left protrusion 52C and a right protrusion 52D on the door back surface 52AY of the main body 52A of the door 52, and rotates the door 52 in the closing direction by rotating the door 52 in the closing direction. In a position that acts to close (i.e., can be biased to close).

  Therefore, the automatic teller machine 1 rotates the door 52 in the closing direction by its center of gravity without providing any special parts other than the door 52 for biasing the door 52 to rotate in the closing direction. Thus, the return port 2AX can be energized and closed.

  That is, the automatic teller machine 1 can open the door 52 with respect to the return port 2AX when the door surface 52AX of the door 52 is pushed by the customer's hand, but the hand is pulled out from the return port 2AX and the door is opened. When separated from the surface 52AX, the door 52 can be closed again with respect to the return port 2AX. Therefore, the automatic teller machine 1 can freely open and close the door 52 with a simple configuration.

  Furthermore, the automatic teller machine 1 is provided with the circuit board 57 on which the light emitting element 56 for illuminating the inside of the foreign object receptacle 50 is provided on the convex surface 2AM on the back side of the concave part 2AY. Is emitted to illuminate the inside of the foreign material receiving tray 50.

  Accordingly, when the cash dispenser 1 opens the door 52 to allow the customer to take out the foreign matter 51 in the foreign matter receptacle 50, the automatic teller machine 1 can make the foreign matter receptacle 50 easily visible together with the foreign matter 51, and the type of foreign matter 51 to be taken out. It is possible to easily check the amount, amount, and presence of forgetting.

  In the automatic teller machine 1, the door 52 is transparently formed of a light-transmitting resin material. Therefore, when the customer facing the front surface 2A of the front panel 2 turns the line of sight obliquely downward to take out the foreign material 51, the automatic teller machine 1 leaks outside from the foreign material tray 50 through the door 52. The return port 2AX can be shown bright by illumination light.

  Therefore, the automatic teller machine 1 can make the customer recognize the return port 2AX for taking out the foreign object 51 more accurately.

  Moreover, when the automatic teller machine 1 illuminates the foreign matter receptacle 50 when the foreign matter 51 is taken out, the illuminated foreign matter receptacle 50 can be seen from the outside through the door 52.

  Therefore, the automatic teller machine 1 allows the customer to easily check the type and amount of the foreign matter 51 to be taken out from the outside even when the customer opens the door 52 when the foreign matter 51 is taken out.

  The automatic teller machine 1 allows the customer to easily check whether the foreign object 51 has been forgotten from the outside even when the customer takes out the foreign object 51 and closes the door 52 when the foreign object 51 is taken out.

  In addition to this, the automatic teller machine 1 displays the withdrawal guide image 62 on the touch screen 5 when the foreign object 51 is taken out, and allows the customer facing the front surface 2A of the front panel 2 to receive the coin insertion / extraction port 4AX or The foreign matter 51 that was mistakenly inserted into the bill insertion / extraction port 4AY is urged to be extracted from the return port 2AX.

  Accordingly, the automatic teller machine 1 can cause the customer facing the front surface 2A of the front panel 2 to turn his / her line of sight diagonally downward when the foreign object 51 is taken out, and the return port 2AX ahead of the line of sight is recessed. By being formed in the front diagonally upward inclined portion of 2AY, the position of the return port 2AX in the front surface 2A can be easily confirmed.
