Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" This invention pools deposited banknotes in a temporary storage section and then stores them in a deposit/withdrawal box, and also collects the deposited banknotes stored in the deposit/withdrawal box. The present invention relates to a circulating banknote depositing and dispensing machine that distributes banknotes for withdrawal to a banknote storage section according to denomination.

``Prior Art'' Conventionally, deposited banknotes are pooled in a temporary storage section and then stored in a deposit/withdrawal box, and the deposited banknotes stored in the deposit/withdrawal box are stored for withdrawal by denomination as bills for withdrawal. JP-A-57-147791 discloses a circulating banknote depositing and dispensing machine that distributes banknotes into different sections.

In other words, the system described in this bulletin is installed at financial institutions' branches, etc., and uses a single removable deposit/withdrawal box to reduce work at the start and end of business. At the start of operations, the mixed banknotes for withdrawal in the deposit/withdrawal box are distributed to the withdrawal storage section for each denomination within the aircraft.
At the end of the business, banknotes in the payout storage section for each denomination are collected into the payout box for banknote management.

During work, you store deposited banknotes in this deposit/withdrawal box, and if you run out of valid bills for withdrawal,
Genuine bills of the deficient denomination are distributed from the bills in the deposit/withdrawal box, and bills of other denominations are returned and stored in the deposit/withdrawal box.

``Problem to be solved by the invention'' However, among the deposited banknotes, there are many unfit notes that are unsuitable for reuse, and the conventional deposit/withdrawal box does not accept the deposited banknotes, including these unfit notes. Because all of the banknotes were stored in the same box, unfit notes were inevitably subject to the distribution process, which reduced the efficiency of replenishing surplus good notes for withdrawals (not to mention that at the end of the day The disadvantage is that it is not easy to sort out valid notes and unfit notes.

Furthermore, since the surface condition of unfit bills is unstable compared to normal bills, there is a high probability that jams will occur during transportation during the distribution process, and in this case, the jam will be cleared by stopping the device. This also meant that the amount of complicated work that needed to be done would increase.

In addition, in this type of device that reuses deposited banknotes as disbursed banknotes, banknotes are transferred between a plurality of banknote storage units in the machine and a transaction opening, or between the plurality of banknote storage units. Since there are various transport routes, it is unavoidable that these transport routes intersect within the aircraft.
Among the above-mentioned problems, in particular, there was a tendency for the probability of jamming to occur during transport of unfit notes to be high.

The present invention was proposed in view of the above circumstances, and it is possible to store normal bills to be reused separately from unfit bills, and to simplify the transport route in the aircraft, thereby reducing the possibility of jamming. The purpose of this invention is to obtain a deposit/withdrawal machine with reduced costs.

FIG. 10C shows a front view and a cross-sectional view of the deposit/withdrawal box 43, showing only the main components, which have already been explained.

Note that reference numeral 135 in the figure is a guide plate that guides the left and right portions of banknotes to be stored in the deposit/withdrawal box 43.

"Operation of the Embodiment" The operation of the present invention will be explained based mainly on the operation diagrams shown in FIGS. 11A to 11F.

First, when a deposit instruction is given, the shutter 4 shown in FIG. 2 is opened, and the teller loads banknotes received from the customer into the cash withdrawal storage section 3.

Next, when a loading completion instruction is given, the seven banknotes 4 are closed, and the banknotes in the withdrawal storage section 3 are moved to the payout stacking section 5, and then separated one by one and conveyed.

The bills that are separated and conveyed one by one are judged by the discrimination section 11 of the discrimination route 10 to determine whether they are genuine or false, denomination 2 front or back, fit or damaged, etc., and the bills are authentic and can be reused as withdrawal bills.
The so-called genuine bills) are conveyed to the first storage section 22 via the distribution route ■3, and are placed in an upright position! The banknotes that are accumulated in the dust and are genuine but unsuitable for reuse as dispensing banknotes due to defacement or the like (so-called unfit banknotes) are similarly conveyed to the second storage section 23 via the distribution route 13. Accumulated in standing position.

In addition, counterfeit banknotes that are not determined to be genuine banknotes (banknotes with abnormal conveyance such as double feeding, banknotes that are heavily soiled and unrecognizable, so-called counterfeit banknotes, etc.) are sent to reject route 14. Withdrawal route 5
5, the banknotes are fed back to the stacking section 5, but as described above, the banknotes are separated from undiscerned deposited banknotes by the unillustrated presser piece and stacked.

By the way, when the above-mentioned deposit instruction is given, the deposit/withdrawal box 43 is in a standby state so that bills can be stored at any time, and as shown in FIG.
4 and a reciprocating plate 45 and set on the payout opening side, as shown in FIG.
8 and is located in the center of the deposit/withdrawal box 43.

That is, when a deposit instruction is given, the front plate lock release lever 80 is rotated clockwise in FIG. When the locking state with the engagement roller 75 is released, the valid bill presser bar 48 descends to the position shown in FIG. 11A.

At the same time, the temporary holding bar 49 is set to the inclined position shown in FIG. 10C.

Next, the driving belt 94 is actuated via the connecting gear 97 by the operation of another motor (not shown), and the genuine bill held between the front plate 44 and the reciprocating plate 45 is integrally moved to the rear plate 46.
retreat to the side.

During this retreat, when the reciprocating plate 45 reaches the position of the valid note presser bar 48, the reciprocating plate 45 is formed with a notch 45a (see FIG. 10C) that escapes the valid note presser bar 48. Although the reciprocating plate 45 can be further retreated, the genuine bill and front plate 44 are prevented from retreating by the genuine bill presser bar 48 and are stopped at that position as shown in the eleventh prisoner.

When the reciprocating plate 45 further retreats, the synchronizing plate 108 rotates upward as described above, the temporary holding bar 49 is set to the vertical position, and the unfit note holding bar 47 begins to retreat upward, The unfit note is held between the reciprocating plate 45 and the rear plate 46, and the unfit note holding bar 47 returns to its original position, resulting in the state shown for the eleventh prisoner.

Reference numerals 136 and 137 shown in FIG. 11A are presser banks that are rotated and retracted to both sides of the stacking cars 36 and 37 by a mechanism not shown when stacking good and unfit bills, respectively. As shown in Figure B, during storage operation, the storage front plate 4
It is configured so that it can be rotated toward the 0 side to pinch both sides of a regular bill in the first storage section 22 and an unfit bill in the second storage section 23.

Therefore, the deposit/withdrawal box 43 is set to a standby state,
When a deposit instruction is issued after the deposited banknotes are accumulated in the first storage section 22 and the second storage section 23 according to whether they are good or bad, the good banknotes and the unfit banknotes are stored in the storage front plate 40 as shown in FIG. 11B. It is held between the holding plates 136 and 137.

After this clamping operation, the storage bottom plates 38 and 39 (belts 39a) that supported the lower ends of the banknotes during banknote stacking move and retreat toward the distribution route 13, as shown in FIG. 11B.

As shown in FIG. Only the genuine bills held between the upper part of the storage front plate 40 and the holding plate 136 are loaded between the reciprocating plate 45 and the temporary holding plate 49 through the storage opening 62 of the deposit/withdrawal box 43. The unfit notes held between the plate 137 and the plate 137 are stored in the first storage section 2.
It will be moved to around 2.

At this time, the lower end of the storage front plate 40 is connected to the release end 12 of the temporary press regulating plate 128 that regulates the clamping operation of the temporary press bar 49.
8b to release the restriction, the temporary holding bar 49 presses the lower part of the loaded regular bill toward the reciprocating plate 45 and clamps it.

After this downward movement, the storage bottom plate 3 that had been moved and retreated
8 and 39 (bell) 39a) return to their original positions, and the holding plates 136 and 137 are set to rotate parallel to the storage front plate 40, releasing the sandwiched state of the correct and unfit notes. do.

In addition, at this time, a guide plate 38a is provided on the storage bottom plate 38 to guide the unfit notes moved to the first storage section 22 so that they do not get caught when the temporary paper 13B moves upward, as shown in FIG. 11C. As shown, the holding plate 136
- Rotate and stand up on the storage front plate 40 side from the position where 137 passes.

Next, as shown in the 11th diagram, when the storage front plate 40 and the pressers W 136 and 137 rise to their original positions, the genuine bill held between the reciprocating plate 45 and the temporary presser bar 49 is already held. It is added to the original ticket and combined.

That is, when the reciprocating plate 45 moves forward in the direction of the front plate 44, contrary to the above, the temporary holding bar 49 moves forward to its original position, the position detection arm 129 shown in FIG. 8 rotates, and the fuselage 1 Activate the detector (not shown) on the side. Due to the operation of this detector, the front plate lock release lever 80 rotates counterclockwise in FIG. Further, the temporary holding bar 49 is retracted to a horizontal position.

As a result, the previously stored regular bills and the newly stored regular bills are stored together, and the reciprocating plate 45 stops after passing the position of the regular bill presser bar 48 toward the front plate 44, and the above-mentioned deposit is made. In the same manner as when the instruction is given, the valid bill retainer 48 is lowered to prepare for the unfit bill storage operation.

The unfit bill storing operation is carried out when the reciprocating plate 45 is at the position of the regular bill presser bar 48, and the rest is the same as the regular bill storing operation.

That is, first, by the storage front plate 40 and the pressing plate 136,
The unfit bills that have already been moved to the first storage section 22 are clamped (the holding plate 137 also performs only the clamping operation).

Next, after the storage bottom plates 38 and 39 (belt 39a) move and retreat, the storage operation in the deposit/withdrawal box 43 begins.
The unfit bills are loaded between the reciprocating plate 45 and the unfit bill presser bar 47.

At this time, the temporary holding bar 49 is set in an inclined state because the reciprocating plate 45 is at the position of the valid bill holding bar 48, but it does not perform the above-mentioned action during this unfit bill storage operation.

That is, when storing unfit bills, the lower end of the storage front plate 40 presses down the release end 128b of the temporary holding regulation plate 128 (see FIG. 8) to lower the lock E128a, and the movable plate 1. A movable urging plate 123 that moves the movable plate 113 to release the locked state from the front edge 113b of the movable plate 113.
However, since it remains stopped at the illustrated position, no temporary holding operation is performed.

Next, when loading of unfit notes is completed, the holding plates 136 and 13
7 is set to rotate parallel to the storage front plate 40,
At the same time as the unfit bill is released from the pinched state, the storage bottom plates 38 and 39 (belts 39a) that had moved and retreated return to their original positions, and then the storage front plate 40 and the holding plates 136 and 137
(see FIG. 11F), and then, as shown in FIG. 11A, is rotated and retracted to the side where it is not affected by the stacking of banknotes.

On the other hand, after the storage front plate 40 and the holding plates 136 and 137 have been raised, the reciprocating plate 45, which was located at the position of the genuine note holding bar 48, begins to retreat toward the rear plate 46, and furthermore, the unfit notes are removed from the unfit note holding bar 47. When it starts to move to the side, the reciprocating plate 45 when storing the genuine bill
Similarly to the setting operation, the unfit note presser bar 47 is retracted upward, and the already stored unfit note and the newly stored unfit note are combined.

Thereafter, the reciprocating board 45 further moves the unfit note, and when it passes the position of the unfit note presser bar 47, the unfit note presser bar 47
is lowered, and the movement of the reciprocating plate 45 is stopped.

When the storage of unfit bills is completed, the reciprocating plate 45 moves forward toward the front plate 44 side, the valid bill presser bar 48 retracts upward in the same manner as described above, and the temporary presser bar 49 horizontally rotates and retreats. The correct bill is held between the front plate 44 and the reciprocating plate 45, and in this state, the correct bill is further advanced toward the payout opening and returns to the initial state shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

Note that when the valid bill presser bar 48 is retracted upward, the front lock plate 78 is in the state shown in FIG. Therefore, when the front plate 44 moves forward, the engagement roller 75 of the connecting member 74 of the front plate 44 gently pushes down the upper edge of the front plate lock plate 78.

Therefore, when the front plate 44 is set to the initial position, it is automatically locked by the front plate locking plate 78.

With the above operations, the operation of storing the correct notes and unfit notes is completed.

Although not particularly related to the gist of the present invention, withdrawal processing,
Distribution processing, initial settings, and end-of-work processing will be briefly explained.

When a withdrawal is processed, the withdrawal storage section 1 of the corresponding denomination
Banknotes are fed out from the banknotes 9 to 21 and conveyed to the payout stacking section 5 along a dispensing route 55. During this process, if a discrimination abnormality is detected in the withdrawal conveyance discrimination unit 56, the money is sent to the discrimination route 10 and the distribution route 13 via the transfer route 58, and then transferred to the storage units 19 to 21 of the denomination concerned. return.

When all the banknotes accumulated in the dispensing storage section 5 are normal and can be withdrawn, a delivery mechanism (not shown) transfers the dispensing banknotes from the dispensing and accumulating section 5 to the deposit/withdrawal storage section 3, and the shutter 4 is opened. and can be removed.

Further, when a distribution instruction is given (automatically or manually), the genuine notes in the deposit/withdrawal box 43 are fed onto the withdrawal route 55 and further sent to the discrimination route 10 via the transfer route 58.

In the discrimination route 10, a discrimination unit 11 discriminates the denominations and front and back sides, and the front notes of each denomination are stored in storage units 19 to 21 according to the denomination by a distribution rule 13, and genuine notes are stored in a second storage unit. 2
3, other abnormally conveyed bills (normal bills with some kind of abnormality and bills of denominations for which the storage sections 19 to 21 are full) are distributed and accumulated in the first storage section 22 .

In this way, since the banknotes in the first storage section 22 and the second storage section 23 are both genuine bills, the bill storage operation described above during the deposit processing is performed twice to store the bills.

Note that by accumulating the back tickets in the second storage section 23, the conveying direction is reversed, and the tickets are treated as front tickets at the next distribution process.

Next, as a process at the time of initial setting, first set the genuine bills (front) of each denomination in the genuine bill storage section of the deposit/withdrawal box 43 (between the front plate 44 and the reciprocating plate 45), Attach to body 1 (no banknotes are accumulated inside body 1).

Then, when an initial setting instruction is given, a process similar to the above-described distribution process is performed, and genuine bills are accumulated in each of the storage units 19 to 21, making it possible to trade.

Finally, when the end-of-day processing is instructed, the regular bills in each withdrawal storage section 19 to 21 are sequentially paid out, and the withdrawal route 55. All are accumulated in the first storage section 22 via the transfer route 582, determination route 10, and distribution route 13.

When a predetermined number of genuine bills are accumulated, the genuine bills in one storage section 22 are sequentially stored as genuine bills in the same way as in the above-mentioned genuine bill storing operation, and all genuine bills in all withdrawal storage parts 19 to 21 are stored as genuine bills. When the money is stored in the deposit/withdrawal box 43, the collection process at the end of the day is completed.

"Effects of the Invention" As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, banknotes inserted into the transaction port mechanism provided on the front side of the machine are transported to the rear side of the machine via the discrimination route. They are counted or discriminated, and then transported to the front side of the machine body via a distribution route provided below the discrimination route toward the front side of the machine body, and can be fed into two temporary storage sections, upper and lower. Since this temporary storage section is located at the front of the aircraft, that is, close to the outer wall of the aircraft, the temporarily stored banknotes can be taken out without the need for a special transportation route. This simplifies the transportation route inside the machine, and with the simplification, the possibility of jamming occurring inside the machine is reduced, thereby reducing the labor required for maintenance.
