Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Objective of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention is applicable to automatic deposit/withdrawal devices installed in, for example, mechanized corners of banks, which automatically deposit and withdraw banknotes. Relating to trading devices.

(Prior Art) In recent years, in this type of automatic transaction device, a banknote circulation type automatic transaction device in which deposited banknotes are used as withdrawal banknotes has been put into practical use in order to improve the efficiency of operating funds.

This automatic transaction device usually uses a safe cassette that has the function of storing deposited banknotes taken in and conveyed via a conveyance path and taking them out as banknotes for withdrawal.

Figure 31 shows the configuration of a conventional safe cassette.
A is a storage section, and a collecting roller C and a beating wheel d are provided as a collecting means in correspondence with a receiving opening formed on one edge side of the upper part of the storing section a. The deposited banknotes A are taken in and conveyed by the beating wheel d via a conveyance path (not shown), and are fed into the storage section a and stacked horizontally.

In addition, an outlet e formed on the other edge side of the upper part of the storage part a
Correspondingly, a take-out roller f and a gate roller g are provided as take-out means, and these take-out rollers f and gate roller g sequentially take out the banknotes A from the storage section a one by one.

Further, a flapper 1.1 as a partitioning means is provided below the beating wheel d and the gate roller g, and holds the banknotes A stored in the storage section a to form an accumulation space. It looks like this.

In addition, a pushing plate j is provided at the upper part of the storage section a, and the lowering movement of this pushing plate j causes the banknotes A accumulated in the accumulation space above the flappers 1 and 1 to be moved to the lower surface of the flapper 1.1. In addition, a back-up plate k is provided in the storage section a to constantly push up the stored banknotes A, and when dispensing, the topmost paper 9A is removed by a take-out roller. It is made to come into contact with f.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in such a conventional configuration, when curled banknotes A and the like are stacked, the tip of the banknote A floats upward while being stacked, and is difficult to take out. The tip of a banknote A may get into the gap m formed between the roller f and the gate roller g (state A2 in the figure). If this phenomenon occurs, there will be insufficient space for stacking subsequent banknotes A. The paper money ran out and the banknote A was bent (shape A, shape B in the figure)
), there were serious problems such as jams and poor stacking, which not only made it impossible to store them reliably, but also made it impossible to take them out reliably.

The present invention has been made based on the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a safe cassette that can reliably accumulate even curly Giga, is free from jams and accumulation defects, and can be easily stored and removed. The aim is to provide an automated transaction device with the following features:

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention stores deposited banknotes taken and conveyed by a conveyance path, and takes out stored banknotes as withdrawal banknotes. An automatic payment system equipped with a functional safe cassette! In the safe cassette, the safe cassette includes a stacking means for stacking the deposited banknotes taken in and conveyed by the conveyance path, a storage section for storing the banknotes stacked by the stacking means, and a storage section for storing the banknotes stored in the storage section. a partitioning means for holding and forming an accumulation space; a taking-out means for taking out banknotes stored in the storage section as bills to be dispensed; and a partitioning means provided in the vicinity of the taking-out means and interlocked with the movement of the partitioning means. includes an accumulation guide member that is nested with the ejecting means to prevent banknotes from entering the ejecting means when in the partitioning operation state forming an accumulation space, and separates from the collecting means when the partitioning operation of the partitioning means is in the released state. The structure is as follows.

(Function) That is, with the above configuration, the present invention prevents banknotes sent into the stacking space during the stacking operation from entering the takeout means by the stacking guide member nested with the takeout means. This allows even curled banknotes to be stacked while aligning them, preventing jams and stacking failures, and ensuring reliable storage and removal operations. Furthermore, the stacking guide member can be operated in conjunction with the movement of the partitioning means, eliminating the need for a dedicated drive source, preventing malfunctions, and making it possible to reliably store and take out banknotes.

The light is made incident on the element 320b.

Further, the pushing plate 309 has notches at various places outside the above-mentioned transmission hole 309a, and the take-out rollers 304...

Feed rollers 305, 305, accumulation guide 351°3
51 and a collecting roller 302 (not shown) to form a nest. Further, high friction members 345, 345 are provided on a part of the lower surface facing the banknote A, and serve to press down the banknote A during pushing. High friction member 34
5.345 is a rubber plate, for example, and the feed roller 3
05.305 and the feed roller 305,3
05 so that it does not protrude, so it does not come into contact with the banknote A when it is taken in. Also, when stacking, the stacking guides 351, 351 protrude from the high friction member 345° 345, so that the banknote A does not come into contact with the banknote A. Therefore, the high friction member 345,
345 does not come into contact with the stacked banknotes and cause friction.

FIG. 17 shows how the banknote A is pushed in by the pushing plate 309.
It shows the state of gradual return when pulling back.

Note that when the high friction member (rubber plate) 345 is not attached to the push plate 309, the coefficient of friction between the push plate 309 and the banknote A is μB, and the coefficient of friction between the banknotes is μB, and the push plate 30
If W is the pushing force for pushing in the banknote A against the elastic lifting force of the backup 310, the maximum force F1 for pulling out the banknote A'' is F1=(μS 10 μB)W.

On the other hand, when a high H friction member (rubber plate) 345 is attached to the push plate 309 as in the present invention, the I:ll friction coefficient between the high friction member 345 of the push plate 309 and the banknote A is defined as μB, and the If you think in the same way, the force F2 that pulls out Choroyamadera A''
The maximum F2 = (μR 0 μB) W. Unless these F, , F become larger than the clamping force R at the take-in roller 304 section, Choroyamadera A'' cannot be pulled out. The clamping force R is , take-out roller 30
4, the gate roller 306, the pickup roller 307, etc. are generally made of high-friction rubber, and the gap between the take-out roller 304 and the gate roller 306 is small. Depending on the degree, it can be a relatively large force.

Considering that the push plate 309 is made of metal or plastic, in the friction #1 coefficient above, generally μR >> μB
〉μB〉0, therefore, the pulling forces F1 and F2 are F2))F
Therefore, the high friction member 345 is attached to the pushing plate 309.
By attaching , the force for pulling out Choro upper volume A'' can be increased, and when pushing, the pushing plate 309 and Choro upper volume A
It is possible to reliably pull it out and perform the gradual release and return operation stably without any slipping between the two.

FIG. 18 shows the configuration of an accumulation stopper guide 350 as an accumulation guide member. The integrated stopper guide 350 is provided with a hole 350a and an elongated hole 350b, which are connected to the bin 315a of the seven lapper 315 and the disc 35.
It fits into and is supported by the No. 3 bottle 353a. The flapper 315 is rotatable about a shaft 315b, and the disk 353 is rotatable about a fulcrum 353b. link 35
2 is a link connecting the fulcrum 315c of the flapper 315 and the fulcrum 353c of the disk 353.

With the above configuration, the flapper 315 is connected to the shaft 3.
15b, the accumulation stopper guide 350 moves in conjunction with this rotation.

Normally, rotational force is transmitted to the flapper shaft 315b by a spring 359 (see FIG. 1) built in the safe cassette 16, and the flapper 315 is moved outside the storage chamber 301 as shown in FIG. 18(a). It's out. At this time, the guide end surface 350d of the accumulation stopper guide 350 is substantially flush with the take-out floor 316.

FIG. 18(b) shows that a rotational force in the opposite direction to the rotational force of the spring described above is transmitted to the flapper shaft 315b from a drive source outside the safe cassette 16 (not shown), and the flapper 315 is moved from the inner wall surface of the extraction side floor 316. It shows an outstanding condition.

The flapper 315 is stopped at a predetermined position when its stopper portion 315d abuts against the outer wall surface of the take-out floor 316.

At this time, the guide end surface 35 of the integrated stopper guide 350
0d protrudes from the inner wall surface of the take-out floor 316 by a dimension C to guide the end face of the banknote A, and its upper end 350c is nested with the take-out roller 304, so that the banknote A is moved between the take-out roller 304 and the gate roller 306. It is designed so that it does not get in between.

In addition, when holding the stored banknotes A in this state, the stored banknotes A... push up the banknote support part 315e of the flapper 315 by the lifting force of the back-up body 310, so the flapper 315 especially receives the rotational force from the drive source. Even if it is not provided, it can maintain a protruding state in the storage section 301, and the storage paper 'li? A... can be held and held securely.

FIG. 19 shows the function of the stacking stopper guide 350, and FIG. 19(a) shows how banknotes A are stacked;
FIG. 19(b) shows how the first
9(C) shows a state in which the bill A is stored in the storage section 301, and FIG. 19(d) shows a state in which the stored banknote A is taken out.

That is, the stacked paper glA shown in FIG.
Since the bills A are guided and stacked by the stacking stopper guide 350 with a protruding point 0d, the leading edge of the banknotes A does not enter the gap between the take-out roller 304 and the gate roller 306, and the bills A are aligned and stacked.

Here, when the width of the storage section 301 is the width of H1 paper banknotes L, the protrusion amount C of the stacking stopper guide 350 is C=H
-L, therefore, the accumulated banknotes A
While maintaining a gap C between the paper money and the inner wall surface of the take-out floor 316, the paper money is aligned and stacked to a width approximately equal to the width of the banknotes.

When the paper ¥ISA accumulated in this way is pushed and stored, the stored banknotes A maintain a gap C between them and the inner wall surface of the take-out floor 316 with a wide width, as shown in FIG. 19(c). However, it is stored neatly.

Note that the leading edge of the banknote A2, which is curled and curled and stacked with the leading edge floating upward, hits the stacking stopper guide 350 and forms a gap between the take-out roller 304 and the gate roller 306. without entering
It falls along the accumulation stopper guide 350 and the flapper 3
It is collected horizontally at the top of 15°315. Therefore, the banknotes A are stacked while being correctly aligned without interfering with the progress and stacking of the next banknote A.

In addition, since the banknote stopper guide 350 operates in conjunction with the flapper 315, when the stacking state is formed by the flapper 315 during stacking, the stacking stopper guide 350 always nests with the take-out roller 304 and extends out to stack the bill. Banknotes can be aligned and stacked with high reliability without malfunction.

The rear end side of the stored paper ¥1A is in contact with the inner wall surface of the entrance side floor 318 of the storage section 301, and when the banknote A moves up and down inside the storage section 301, a resistance effect is generated. This resistance force is caused by banknotes A stored in an incorrect position.
It is smaller than the resistance force of , and the rate of increase as the amount of banknotes A increases is almost constant. Therefore, when taking out the G'IJA stored in this way, as shown in Fig. 19 (
As shown in d), the frictional resistance that the banknote A receives from the inner wall of the storage section 301 is significantly small, and in order to maintain a stable size depending on the amount of banknote A, the banknote A is raised with an appropriate backup force. By doing so, it becomes possible to keep the pressing force between the take-out roller 304 and the paper WA substantially constant. In addition, even when there are a large number of banknotes A, the stored banknotes A can generate the same pressing force as when the banknotes are set by an attendant, so a large amount of banknotes A can be generated.
However, it becomes possible to take it out stably.

Also, during the accumulation shown in FIG. 19(a), the backup body 3
The flapper 315 is moved through the stored banknotes A by pressing 10.
Since it is in a locked state, it does not move, so the accumulation stopper guide 350 does not move, and the accumulation stopper guide 350 does not become unnested during accumulation.

Furthermore, after the storage operation shown in FIG. 19(c) is completed, the banknote A is reliably pushed up from the back-up body 310, and no gap is created between the banknote A and the flappers 315, 315, and the next There is no possibility that the banknotes A will get into the gap during the deposit transaction and cause stacking failure.

Furthermore, the push plate 309 is designed to temporarily stop at the position of the flappers 315, 315 during storage as shown in FIG. 19(b), so that the flappers 315, 315 will not be destroyed by the paper 9A.

In addition, during the withdrawal preparation operation, when moving the banknotes A in the storage section 301 to the take-out roller 304 side, the back-up body 310 is temporarily stopped and the push plate 309 is raised,
The configuration is such that the pressure on the bill A on the back-up body 310 is released and the bill A is raised only by the biasing force of the spring 370 (see FIG. 20(c)) that always biases the back-up body 310 upward. , the back-up body 310 is pushed up at once using inertia force. Thereby, even when the amount of banknotes A stored is large and the contact resistance is large, the paper WA does not stop midway and can be brought into reliable contact with the take-out roller 304.

Therefore, troubles such as being unable to take out or taking out in a skewed state can be prevented, and a stable taking out function can be maintained.

In addition, at the time of withdrawal, as shown in FIG. 19(d), the stacking stopper guide 350 is retracted from the take-out roller 304 so that it does not get in the way of the banknotes A being unnested and taken out. 304 and gate roller 30
It is taken out from the gap between 6 and 6.

FIG. 20A shows the appearance of the safe cassette 16 and the flapper operating mechanism 360.
4 is exposed from the safe cover 344.

In addition, a guide roller 3 is arranged so that a part of the upper surface part protrudes.
42... are arranged, and are in rolling contact with rollers 345... provided in the conveying section 30.

In addition, flapper operating levers 370 and 370 that are integrated with the shafts 315a and 315b of the flappers 315 and 315 are arranged on the outer wall surface of the safe cassette 16, and these flapper operating levers 370 and 370 are provided on the device main body 2 side. The flappers 315, 315 are operated by rotating the flapper operating mechanism 360.

As shown in FIGS. 20A and 20B, the flapper operating mechanism 360 moves a guide roller 371.371 attached to the free end side of the flapper operating lever 370.370 to the upper horizontal portion 372a of the drive plate 372. It is configured to be pushed up on the top surface. The drive plate 372 includes a plurality of rollers 374 attached to the frame 373 of the device main body 2.
The vertical plate portion 372b is guided to be vertically movable by the vertical plate portion 372b, and a long hole 375 is formed in the vertical plate portion 372b, and a guide roller 377 attached to the free end of the drive plate operating lever 376 is engaged. It is in a state of matching. Furthermore, a plunger solenoid 378 is connected to the pivot end side of the drive plate operating lever 376.

When the plunger solenoid 378 is in the OFF state, the drive plate 378 is turned off as shown in FIG. 20A.
is not raised to rotate the flapper actuating lever 370°370 and the flapper 315.315 is open (
vertical state).

Further, when the plunger solenoid 378 is in the "on" state, the drive plate 372 rises and rotates the flapper operating lever 370 degrees 370 as shown in FIG. ).

20C shows a moving mechanism 379 for the pushing plate 309 and a moving mechanism 380 for the backup body 310. First, the pushing plate moving mechanism 379 will be explained.
Reference numeral 8 denotes a slide shaft provided vertically, and a push plate stay 367 is attached to this slide shaft 308 via a linear ball bearing 381 so as to be vertically movable. A push plate 309 is rotatably attached to the tip side of the push plate stay 367 via a fitting 382.

The substrate side of the pushing plate 367 is connected to an endless timing belt 391 stretched through a timing pulley 389 and an idle pulley 390. The timing pulley 389 is integrally provided with a driven gear 392 and a spring reversing pulley 393.
92 meshes with a drive gear 395 attached to a drive shaft of a pushing plate drive pulse motor 394 provided on the device main body 2 side. Further, one end of a push plate return spring 396 is connected to the base plate portion of the push plate stay 367, so that the push plate 309 is always urged upward. The other end of the push plate return spring 396 is wound around the spring reversing pulley 393 and bent downward, and is fixed to a spring retaining pin 397 provided near the idle pulley 390.

Then, by driving the push plate driving pulse motor 394, the push plate 309 is lowered against the biasing force of the push plate return spring 396, and the bill A is pushed into the storage section 301. When the push plate 309 is brought into an inoperative state, the push plate 309 is returned to its upper home position by the biasing force of the spring 396.

Next, the backup body moving mechanism 380 will be explained. A backup body stay 368 is attached to the slide shaft 308 via a linear ball bearing 381 so as to be vertically movable. A backup body 310 is attached to the tip side of the backup body stay 368 via a fixture 369 so as to be rotatable in two directions (three dimensions) so as to uniformly press the banknotes A against the take-out roller 304. The substrate side of the back-up body 310 is connected to an endless timing belt 402 stretched through a timing pulley 400 and an idle pulley 401. The timing pulley 400 is integrally provided with a gear 403 and a spring reversing pulley 404, and the driven member 403 is connected to an electromagnetic brake 405 for controlling the back-up body as a back-up body holding means provided in the device body 2 (p!I). One end of a backup body return spring 407 is connected to the base plate portion of the backup body stay 368, and the backup body stay 368 meshes with a gear 406 attached to the output shaft of the backup body stay 368. The back-up body return spring 407 fl!

Then, the back-up body 310 descends against the urging force of the back-up body return spring 407 due to the pushing operation of the pushing plate 309, and by turning on the electromagnetic play 4405, the back-up body 310 is moved by the spring 407. It can be held in that position against the urging force of. ! When the magnetic brake 405 is turned off, the backup body 310 is moved upward at once by the urging force of the spring 407.

A magnet 410 is attached to the base plate of the push plate stay 367 and the buffer/7 push body stay 368, respectively, and a reed switch 411 (only the negative part is shown) is arranged on the main body 211PI of the device. Accordingly, the positions of the pushing plate 309 and the backup body 310 are detected.

Next, the storage operation of the safe cassette 16 configured as described above will be explained.

First, during standby, as shown in FIG. 21(a), the flappers 315, 315 are held in a closed state protruding into the storage section 301, and the banknotes A are stacked below the flappers 315, 315. is placed, and this paper 'IaA is elastically pressed from below by a back-up body 310. Therefore, when stacking banknotes A, the banknotes A are sequentially taken in by the stacking roller 302 and the beating wheel 303, and the stacking state is regulated by the stacking stopper kite 350, and the banknotes A are temporarily placed in the stacking space 301a above the flappers 315, 315. are accumulated [see FIG. 21(b)].

When the taking in of banknotes A is completed, a storage operation is performed.

This operation will be explained with reference to FIG. 22 as well.

The push plate 309 is lowered and the accumulation space (-time storage section) 301
The paper gA of a is pushed up together with the flappers 315, 315 and the back-up body 310 to the specified storage position! [Figure 22 (Step 1)].

After this, under this condition, the backup body moving mechanism 38
The electromagnetic brake 405 of 0 is turned on to fix the back-up body 310 [FIG. 21 (C)] [FIG. 22 (Step 2)]. Here, a check is made to see if there are any bills A remaining in the stacking space 301a. This is done by the detector 320 [
FIG. 22 (Step 3)], if no residue is detected, only the pushing plate 309 is raised with the back-up body 310 fixed, and the flapper 315°315
[Fig. 22 (Step 4)] After that, the flapper 315 is turned on by turning on the solenoid 378.
, 315 are closed [Fig. 22(d)
Step 5)], then, in this state, the electromagnetic brake 405 as a back-up body holding means is turned off to raise the back-up body 310 and the banknote A [FIG. 21(e)]. As a result, the banknotes A are locked by the flapper 315 and held in a stacked state below the flapper 315 (FIG. 22 (Step 6)).

Also, raise the push plate 309 and return it to the standby position 1 [second
Figure 1(f) [Figure 22 (Step 7)].

On the other hand, in FIG. 22 (step 3), if the remaining bill is detected, that is, if the bill presence/absence detector 320 is "dark", the push plate 309 is raised with the back-up body 310 fixed. and return it to the standby position [Fig. 22 (Step 8)].

After that, the back-up body 310 is raised by turning off the electromagnetic plate 1r404 [Fig. 22 (Step 9)].
)], the above-described accumulation and storage process is repeated again.

On the other hand, FIG. 23 shows the operation when taking out banknotes A.

This will be explained with reference to FIG. From the standby state shown in FIG. 23(a), the push plate 309 is lowered, the flappers 315, 315 are opened, the accumulation stopper guide 350 is retreated from the take-out roller 304, and the push plate 309 is placed on the upper surface of the paper gA.
9 hits [Figure 23 (b)] [Figure 24 (Step 1)
], then, in this state, the electromagnetic brake 404 is
turn on" and fix the back-up body 310 [24th
Figure (Step 2) After this, only the push plate 309 is raised to the standby position! Return to [Figure 23 (C)] [Figure 24 (
Step 3) In this state, the electromagnetic brake 404
[The backup 310 and the banknote A are raised by the offco and return to the standby position, and the banknote A comes into contact with the take-out roller 304 and the feed roller 305 [Fig. 23(d)] [Fig. 24 (Step 4)], and this In this state, the bills A are sequentially taken out via the rubber surface 304a of the take-out roller 304 by the operation of the take-out roller 304 and the feed roller 305, and when a predetermined number of bills have been taken out, the rubber surface is removed by a signal from the take-in timing detection switch 323. 304a
The take-out roller 304 stops in a state where the banknote A is brought out onto the transport path surface and does not come into contact with the banknote A remaining in the storage section 301 [FIG. 23(e)].

By the way, since the bill A is taken out only when the rubber surface 304a of the take-out roller 304 comes into contact with the bill A,
The leading edges of the other banknotes A, except for the banknote A that is being taken out, should remain flush with the removal side floor 316 of the storage section 301. Since the removal is done by the ger roller 306,
Normally, the leading edge of the banknote A is guided to the position of the gate roller 306, or the timing of take-out is shifted for some reason, and the leading edge of the banknote A is at the pick-up roller 307! Sometimes it has even reached the point of

However, when banknotes A are stored in a stack, as shown in Fig. 21 (
As shown in c), push the paper 9A in the storage section 301 below the flappers 315, 315, and
Since the accumulation space 301a must be formed above f1!15, f1!
Banknote A with 1m protruding (hereinafter referred to as Choro Deho A'')
If there is, the leading edge of Choro Deho A# may break when it is pressed by the push plate 309, making it impossible to take out the Choro Deho A''. It is necessary to pull it back to a position where it is flush with 316.

Therefore, when the banknotes A are sequentially taken out and a predetermined number of banknotes have been taken out, if the leading edge of the banknote A protrudes to the pickup roller 307, this is detected by the removal detector 317. The banknote A based on
Take it out as it is as a jet valve and store it in the reject storage.

Next, if there is a "choro-deho A" in which the leading edge of the bill A protrudes into the gate roller 306 part, that is,
Regarding the operation when the take-out detector 317 is “bright”, the 25th
This will be explained with reference to FIG.

First, the push plate 309 is lowered. At this time, the push plate 309
The high friction member 345 contacts and presses the Choro Exit A'' while reliably pulling it back from the gate roller 306 [Fig. 25(a)] [Fig. 26 (Step 1)], and further the Choro Exit A''. '' and the banknotes A accumulated on the back-up body 310 are pressed by the pushing plate 309 and moved downward integrally with the loose-up body 310.

Then, at the point where it has moved to a certain position, the electromagnetic brake 40
Turn on 4 to fix the backup body 310.
Figure 6 (Step 2)], the push plate 309 in this state
Raise the chisel and return it to the standby position [Figure 25) b)] [
FIG. 26 (Step 3)] In response to this, the pressure on the paper WA on the backup body 310 is released. Thereafter, in this state, the electromagnetic brake 404 is turned off to raise the backup body 310 [Fig.
)] [Figure 26 (Step 4)].

At this time, since the pressure on the banknote A on the back-up body 310 has been released, the banknote A is placed on the top layer! The small step A'' moves freely due to friction with the take-out floor 316 and is aligned.

Here, the push plate 309 is lowered again to push the banknote A downward [FIG. 26 (Step 5)], and then, in this state, the electromagnetic brake 404 is turned on to fix the back-up body 310. [FIG. 26 (Step 6)] Here, the bill presence/absence detector 320 detects the remaining banknotes A in the upper accumulation space 301a [FIG. 26 (Step 7)]; “If it is dark J, it means that the alignment of Choro Exit A” is insufficient, and the back-up body 3
10 is fixed, push plate 8)], and then,
Turn off the electromagnetic brake 404 and turn off the backup body 31.
Repeat the above-mentioned alignment operation of raising 0 [26th
Figure (Step 9)].

In addition, in FIG. 26 (step 7), the bill presence/absence detector 320
If it is "Mei J", then the alignment of the outlet A is complete, so with the back-up body 310 fixed, only the push plate 309 is raised, and the flappers 315, 315 are
[Fig. 26 (Step 10)], then lower the flappers 315 and 315 via the solenoid [Fig. 26 (d)] [Fig. 26 (Step 11)],
Next, in this state, the back-up body 310 and the banknote A are raised by the off-coat of the electromagnetic brake 404, and the banknote A is held below the flappers 315 and 315 [Fig. 25(e)]. Figure (Step 12)], the push plate 309 is also raised and returned to the waiting position
Figure (f)] [Figure 26 (Step 13)].

On the other hand, when taking out the banknote A, the paper in the storage section 301
When all the IIAs are taken out, as shown in FIG. The up body 310 is pressed by the pushing plate 309 and lowers integrally with the pushing plate 309 [FIG. 27(b)]
], and the backup body 310 is the flapper 315 .
315, these flappers 315
315 is the solenoid 378 of the flapper operating mechanism 360
These flappers 315.315
The backup 310 is locked, and the push plate 30
9 rises and returns to the standby position [Fig. 27(c)].

At this time, the emitted light from the banknote presence/absence detector 320 is transmitted through the transmission hole 30'.
9a and 309b, but since this emitted light is oriented obliquely to the direction of movement (downward) of the pushing plate 309 and the back-up body 310, it The output light is relatively transmitted light 309a.

310a sequentially transitions from one end side to the other end side, so that the wide area S on the upper surface of the backup body 310
[See Figure 27(a)] can be fully detected,
Therefore, even if a folded ticket or an unrolled banknote A remains on the back-up body 310, it can be accurately detected without missing it.

FIG. 28 is for explaining the electric circuit. That is, the main control section 450 controls the entire system, and the deposit/withdrawal mechanism control section 451 controls the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12 according to signals from the main control section 450 and signals from the inspection control section 455.

9. It is constituted by a display 480 that displays the near end of the banknote storage section 22 by flashing and indicates the end by lighting.

Next, the operation in such a configuration will be explained. For example, first, a customer (customer) inserts a card into the card insertion slot 5 after seeing the operation guide ``Please insert your card or passbook'' displayed on the information display section (CRT display section) 10. Then, the data on the magnetic stripe of the card is read by a reading section (not shown) and supplied to the main control section 450. As a result, the main wholesaler 450 checks the validity of the card. Then, if the card is valid, the main control unit 450 causes the guidance display unit 10 to display an operation guidance saying "Please enter your password." When the customer inputs the PIN number using the operation button 8, the main control unit 450 checks whether the PIN number read from the card and the PIN input using the operation button 8 match or are related. Or, if the relationship satisfies predefined rules, the main control unit 450 displays the guide display unit 10 to prompt you to “select a transaction type” and also displays “deposit, withdrawal, transfer, balance inquiry”. Display selection button instructions.

Then, when the transaction item is selected, when the operation button 8 corresponding to deposit is pressed, the main wholesaler 450 enters a deposit acceptance state and outputs a deposit instruction at deposit/withdrawal t11112. As a result, the depositing and dispensing mechanism 12 opens the shutter 115 of the depositing and dispensing lower.Then, the user inserts the sorted paper bundle A with both denominations, front and back, in a three-dimensional state into the stacking section 154, which serves as a bill receiving section, and then opens the shutter. When 115 is closed, the shirt closure detector 11
9 detects that the shutter 115 is closed.

Next, the floor drive motor 111 rotates at high speed, and in response, the first floor 107 at the bottom of the stacking section 154 vibrates up and down, and the banknotes A are aligned by this vibration. At this time,
When the detector 157 detects a failure to accumulate banknotes A,
The main control unit 450 opens the shutter 115 and guides the display unit 10.
``Please insert the banknotes correctly and close the door.'' When the shutter 115 is closed, the alignment operation is performed again, and the main control unit 4
50 determines that the banknotes A have been correctly deposited into the stacking unit 154, the banknotes A are taken in one by one via the take-in roller 103 starting from the frontmost one. This untaken banknote A is conveyed via the take-in conveyance path 38a (see FIG. 3). At this time, the banknote A is detected to be taken in by the banknote passage detector 40a, and the main control unit 450 receives the detection signal.
is counting the number of sheets taken in. In addition, the banknote A is
When passing through, detection is performed such as "short length", r-longitudinal length J, "magnetic pattern matching", "color separation of transmitted light", "divided matching of @dark blue part by reflected light", etc. As a result, "bill type discrimination,""authenticitydiscrimination,""front/backdiscrimination," and "new/old bill discrimination" are performed, and the results are supplied to the main control unit 450. As a result, the main control unit 450
The inspection results are counted by a counter (not shown). In addition, the main control unit 450 determines whether the paper %IA is “false” in the authenticity determination.
If the banknote cannot be recognized as a valid banknote due to stacking, significant skewing, or damage, a rejection signal is output to the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12. As a result, the banknote A
When the tip reaches the banknote passage detector 40f, the third sorting gate 39c is rotated to the left and the fourth sorting gate 39d is rotated to the left. Then, the banknotes A are temporarily accumulated in the withdrawal-time accumulation section 36.

On the other hand, it is determined as "true" in the authenticity discrimination, and "true" in the front/back discrimination.
In the case of a banknote that is determined to be 'backwards', the main control unit 450 outputs the signal to the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12.

As a result, the paper 'IJA' will be sent to the sorting gate 39C139.
d"C" are sorted and accumulated in the deposit/time book stacking section 37 via the left conveyance path. In addition, banknotes A that are determined to be "true" in the above-mentioned authenticity determination and "front" in the front/back determination are sorted by the distribution gate 39c, and are sent to the deposit-time accumulation section 37 via the right rsWI transmission path. Accumulated.

In addition, when the inspection result is that the note is an old note, the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12 turns on the plunger solenoid 236, as shown in FIG. 12(a).
The stacking guide 234 moves to the position indicated by two points a4t, thereby expanding the stacking width. -When turned on, the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12
remains "on" until the capture process is completed.

On the other hand, when the detector 151 detects that there are no banknotes in the stacking section 154, the rotation of the taking-in roller 103 is stopped and the taking-in process is ended.

Next, the withdrawal paper 'lI?' is placed in the withdrawal-time accumulation section 36. When banknotes A are stacked, an arm (not shown) moves downward, and the rejected banknotes A are sandwiched between conveyor belts 180 and 181 and conveyed all together to the stacking section 154. 11
See figure (a).

The rejected paper 1 returned to the stacking section 154 and stacked in this way
+tA is taken in and transported again, and deposit processing is performed.

In this way, after all the inserted banknotes A are accumulated, they are counted and verified. That is, among the genuine bills determined by the inspection section 35, the number of 10,000 yen bills, the number of egg yen bills, and the number of 1,000 yen bills, and the passing detector 401 on the conveyance path to the deposit-time accumulation section 37. The number of sheets counted by 40h is checked by the main control section 450, and counting is guaranteed by double checking.

After the counts are verified in this way, the main control unit 45
0 displays the number of ticket types and the total amount deposited on the guide display section 10 of the operation panel section 3, prompting the customer to confirm the amount deposited and the number of ticket types. When the customer presses the confirmation button, after online communication, the customer is accepted. When it becomes “possible”, the paper WA in the deposit-time accumulation unit 37 is transferred to the accumulation unit 154 of the bill receiving/removal device 15.
transported to. That is, the timing belt 205 of the deposit-time accumulation section 37 is lowered, and the pedestal 220 is further retracted below the conveyor belt 214. Therefore, the banknotes A accumulated on the pedestal 220 are held between the timing belt 205 and the conveyor belt 214 and conveyed from the stacking section 230 [see FIG. 13(C)].

Next, in the banknote loading/unloading device 15, the backup 1
02 and the front panel 101 move to the opposite side of the take-in roller 103, the movable part 145 of the backup 102 opens outward, and the deposit-time accumulating part 3 passes through the discharge roller 127.
The banknotes A conveyed from 7 are received and stacked in the stacking section 154.

Further, the taking-in roller 103 is rotated to take in the banknotes A one by one. This untaken banknote A is taken in by the take-in conveyance path 38a.
transported via. At this time, the paper '%l is detected to be taken in by the banknote passage detector 40a, and the main control section 450 counts the number of sheets taken in based on the detection signal. Also,
When the banknote A passes through the inspection section 35, the "short side length" is checked again.
, ``Longitudinal length'', ``Magnetic pattern matching'', ``Color separation of transmitted light'', ``Resolution matching of fine parts by reflected light'', etc. are detected, and ``Bill type discrimination'' is performed.
“Authenticity determination” and “fit/failure determination” are performed, and the results are supplied to the main control unit 450.

Thereby, the main control unit 450 counts the inspection results using a counter (not shown). In addition, the main control unit 450 causes the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12 to reject banknotes A that are found to be "false" in the authenticity determination, if they are weighed, are significantly skewed, or are damaged and cannot be recognized as valid banknotes. Output a signal.

As a result, the tip of the bill suction A is connected to the bill passing detector 40.
When reaching J, the seventh distribution gate 39g is rotated to the left. Then, that G'ISA is Tachiko yen/exclusion ticket/
The collected banknotes are accumulated in the collected banknote storage section 22.

On the other hand, if the egg yen bill A is determined to be "true" in the authenticity determination, the main control unit 450 outputs the signal to the deposit/withdrawal mechanism 12 . As a result, the banknote A is transferred to the sorting gate 39g1'
The items are sorted and accumulated in the third safe cassette 18.

At this time, in the safe cassette 18, the flappers 315, 315
is held in a closed state protruding into the storage section 22 (301), and a collection space 301a is formed above the flappers 315, 315, and the banknotes A are stored in the collection roller 302 and the beating wheel 3.
03 and is well integrated via the integration stopper 350.

On the other hand, 1,000 yen paper strips and 10,000 yen banknotes operate in the same manner and are accumulated in the accumulation spaces 301a of the first and second safe cassettes 16 and 17, respectively. During the above-mentioned accumulation operation, the main control unit 4
Reference numeral 50 counts the accumulated number of banknotes of 1,000 yen, 1,000 yen, and 10,000 yen using a counter (not shown).

On the other hand, when the banknote presence detector 151 detects that there are no banknotes in the stacking section 154, the rotation of the retrieval drive motor 104 is stopped and the retrieval process is ended.

When the taking in is completed, the banknote storing operation shown in FIG. 22 is performed, and the taken banknotes A are locked by the flappers 315 and 315 and held in a stacked state under the flappers 315 [FIG. 21(f)]
reference].

Next, when the transaction type is selected, when the operation button 8 corresponding to withdrawal is pressed, the main control unit 450 displays the guidance text "Press the button for the amount and finally press the Yen button" on the guidance display. Display it as 10. Next, the customer inserts the amount using the operation button 8 according to the instructions. By inputting this amount, the main control section 450 causes the guidance display section 10 to display the guidance text "If the amount is correct, please press the confirmation button or, if you wish to change the exchange button, press the correction button." By pressing this button, the main control unit 450 displays "Communication in progress, please wait for a while."
The guidance display section 10 displays the guidance characters. At this time, the main control unit 450 performs online communication and outputs a withdrawal command to the deposit/withdrawal device 12. As a result, the deposit/withdrawal device 12 takes out the paper 'IJA' corresponding to the above amount from the first and second safe cassettes 16, 17, and withdraws the money.
The time is accumulated in the time accumulation section 36.

That is, from the standby state shown in FIG. 23(a) to the 24th
The withdrawal preparation operation shown in the figure is performed, and the paper '%IA contacts the take-out roller 304 and the feed roller 305 [second
3(d)], and in this state, the take-out roller 304
Then, by the operation of the feed roller 305, the paper %tA is sequentially taken out via the rubber surface 304a of the take-out roller 304, and when a predetermined number of sheets have been taken out, the rubber surface 30
4a or paper%? A and storage section 30
The take-out roller 304 stops while maintaining a position where it does not come into contact with the banknotes A remaining in the banknotes 1 [FIG.
b, 39c, 39d, 39e.

39f, 39g, 39h, and 391″i″ are distributed and accumulated in the withdrawal-time accumulation unit 36. At this time, the first one for 10,000 yen
The banknote A taken out from the safe cassette 16 is detected by the banknote passage detector 40n, and the main control unit 450 counts the number of banknotes taken out based on the detection signal. Further, the banknote A taken out from the second safe cassette 17 for 1,000 yen is detected by the banknote passage detector 40j, and the main control unit 450 counts the number of banknotes taken out based on the detection signal.

Further, when the taken out banknote A passes through the inspection section 35, "bill type discrimination" etc. is performed, and the result is sent to the main control section 4.
50. Thereby, the main control unit 450 counts the inspection results using a counter (not shown). Furthermore, the banknotes A to be stacked in the payout-time stacking section 36 are detected by a bill passing detector 40g, and the main control section 450 calculates the number of stacked bills based on the detection signal.

When the number of bills taken out by the bill passage detectors 40n and 40j reaches the set number, the main control section 450 ends the taking out of the bills A from the corresponding first and second safe cellars 16 and 17. In addition, the main control unit 450 performs number verification based on whether the added number of thousand yen banknotes and ten thousand yen banknotes according to the inspection result matches the accumulated number of banknotes.

At this time, the taken out banknote A passes through the inspection section 35 and is
Safe cassette 16.1 corresponding to each volume by "ticket type discrimination"
7, it is reconfirmed that the ticket type is the one taken out. Normally, re-examination is not necessary for this "discrimination of ticket type," but it is best to re-examine the ticket since it cannot be said that there are no errors when setting the missing amount.

Regarding "determination of fitness and loss", depending on the operation mode at the time of deposit,
It will be determined whether classification based on fitness or loss is necessary. In other words,
For deposits, we will accept any dirt, tear, or repaired bill with cellophane tape as long as it is a "true" bill and the type of bill can be determined. These are stored in a first safe cassette 16 for 10,000 yen, a second safe cassette 17 for 1,000 yen, or in a third safe cassette 18 for yen/excluded/collected banknotes for withdrawal. In the former case, it is necessary to determine whether the money is good or bad at the time of withdrawal, but in the latter case, it is not particularly necessary.

In any case, unfit notes must be avoided as banknotes to be paid out to customers.

When carrying out fit/failure classification control, unfit bills are abnormally conveyed bills with weighting, significant skew, and pitcher errors that occur when normal bills are taken out, and rejected bills that cannot be identified by the inspection unit 35. Like banknotes, they are guided, accumulated and stored in the third safe cassette 18. In addition, when a rejected ticket is generated, the gate 39a is rotated to the right for sorting, and the ticket is accumulated and stored in the third safe cassette 18 as it is. The storage location for rejected banknotes can be switched to the rejected banknote accumulation section.

When rejected banknotes are generated in this manner, additional withdrawal is performed to replenish the designated number of banknotes.

Thus, the payout banknotes A accumulated in the payout-time stacking section 36 are sent out all at once by the mechanism shown in FIG.
The money is accumulated in the accumulation section 154 facing the deposit/withdrawal lower. Thereafter, after online communication, when the transaction is "permitted", the deposit/withdrawal lower is opened, banknote A is handed over to the customer, and the process ends.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, the banknotes fed into the stacking space during the stacking operation are prevented from entering the pick-up unit by the stacking guide member nested with the pick-up unit. Even curly banknotes can be stacked while being aligned, jams and stacking failures are prevented, and banknotes can be stored and removed reliably. In addition, the accumulation stopper guide can be operated in conjunction with the movement of the partition means, eliminating the need for a dedicated drive source, preventing malfunctions, and providing a safe cassette that enables reliable banknote storage and removal. This has the effect of being able to provide an automatic transaction device.
