Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a customer from feeling uneasy by providing separate plates where paper current which is fed out of a machine body is mounted in a space whose inside can be seen, and confirming the paper current at the time of payment and receipt. CONSTITUTION:A transparent window 3 and the two plane U-shaped separate plates 9 and 9 which partition a throw-in part 7 and a throw-out storage part 8 are provided on the front surface side of a paper currency payment/receipt part 2. When an operator inserts paper currency into the throw-in part 7 at the time of payment, payment processing is performed and then the processed paper currency is fed out to the throw- out storage part 8 and stack on the separate plate 9. When the operator approves the payment, the separate plate 9 rotates to leave the space and the stacked paper currency on the separate plate 9 falls to the throw-in part 7 and sent into the machine body 1 again. If the operator does not approve the stacked paper currency or receives money, the paper currency is stacked on the separate plate 9, which moves down to the lowermost end position of the throw-in part 7, so the operator can take the paper currency from the separate plate 9. Consequently, the paper currency can be confirmed at the time of payment and receipt and the customer does not feel uneasy.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a banknote transaction opening mechanism of a banknote deposit/dispensing machine, and in particular, the present invention relates to a banknote transaction opening mechanism of a banknote deposit/dispensing machine, and in particular, to confirmation of input banknotes and temporarily reserved banknotes that have been deposited at the time of deposit, or withdrawal of banknotes. The present invention relates to a banknote transaction opening mechanism suitable for use when confirming the accumulation and payout of banknotes to be paid out.

[Background Art] Bill deposit machines and bill deposit and withdrawal machines that are installed at stores of financial institutions and are used to deposit or withdraw bills are known. As a device of this type, a "bill storage device for a circulating bill depositing and dispensing machine" (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 157144/1983) has been proposed. The device temporarily holds banknotes that have been deposited through counting, discrimination, etc. in an accumulated state, and when the operator instructs to approve the deposit, stores the held banknotes inside the machine, while instructing to disapprove the deposit. Sometimes, the banknotes can be returned to the operator.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Incidentally, the deposited banknote holding mechanism of the banknote storage device is provided inside the machine body, where the operator cannot check it from the outside. Therefore, when the teller operates the device, no particular problem arises because the teller himself or herself knows in advance the operation of each mechanism of the device.

However, for example, if a teller and a customer stand between each other at the counter (
When a customer operates a customer-operated bill depositing machine or bill depositing/dispensing machine that is configured to allow use of banknotes, once the inserted bills are taken into the machine, the customer cannot remove the bills after they have been inserted. There were problems such as the possibility of making customers feel uneasy because it could not be confirmed.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and therefore provides a banknote transaction port mechanism that enables confirmation of inserted banknotes and temporarily reserved banknotes that have been deposited at the time of deposit, or confirmation of accumulation and payout of withdrawn banknotes at the time of withdrawal. Provide 1] target.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an input section into which banknotes are inserted, and a banknote that is taken into the machine from the input section and processed for deposit or stored inside the machine. A banknote depositing and dispensing machine comprising a dispensing storage section into which banknotes are dispensed and temporarily stored, wherein the dispensing section and the dispensing storage section are combined into one
Consisting of one space whose interior can be seen through from the side,
A separation plate having a banknote placement surface for placing banknotes ejected from the inside of the machine body is provided in the space, and the separation plate includes:
The space is movable in the vertical direction with the banknote placement surface facing upward, and the space can be vertically divided into the dispensing storage section and the inputting section, and jii
It is characterized in that the banknote placement device r is rotatable downward about one end of the banknote placement surface, and is retracted from the space when rotating downward.

[Function] According to the present invention, when an operator inserts a banknote into the input section at the time of deposit, the input banknote is taken into the machine and processed for deposit, and then the processed banknote is thrown into the dispensing storage section. It is taken out and accumulated on a separator plate. When the operator approves the deposit, the separating plate rotates and retreats from the space, so that the accumulated banknotes on the separating plate fall into the input section, and are taken into the machine body again and stored.

On the other hand, if the operator does not approve the stacked banknotes or if the banknotes are to be withdrawn, the banknotes are ejected to the dispensing storage section and stacked on the separating plate. Thereafter, the separation plate descends to the lowest position of the input section. Thereby, the operation is to take out the banknotes from above the separating plate.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

It is possible to move up and down in the direction of arrow Yl-Y2 in FIG. 2 via A and 5A. As the separation plates 9 and 9 move up and down, the spaces of the input section 7 and the output storage section 8 can be changed.

When the separation plate 9 rises from the standby position to the predetermined position by the drive of the drive belt 15, the rollers 11, whose rotation has been restricted by the side plates 5, 5, move to the side plates 5, 5.
By facing the notches 5B and 5B, the roller 11-1
As a result of the rotation of the dispensing storage part 8 (tlll) through the notches 5B and 5B by the force of the spring (path shown in the figure), the separation plate 9
is rotated by 90° in the direction of arrow Y3 in FIG. 2 about the separation plate rotation axis lO·IO, and is retracted from a position parallel to the mounting plate 6 to an open position. On the other hand, when the separation plates 9, 9 are lowered from the predetermined positions, the rollers I+, 11 are pulled out from the notches 5B, 5B, and the separation plates 9, 9 are rotated around the separation plate rotation shafts 10, 10. It is rotated by 90 degrees in the direction of arrow Y4 in FIG. 2, and returns from the open position to a position parallel to the mounting plate 6. On the bill dispensing side of the placing plate 6 of the bill dispensing section 2, there are a dispensing roller 16 for dispensing the bills into the machine body l, and a separation roller 17 for separating the dispensing bills one by one. are placed facing each other.

Further, a sorting fork 18 is provided near the banknote withdrawal section 2.
Among the low-processing banknotes that have been taken into the machine body 1 by the feed roller 16 and separation roller 17 and deposited, the accepted banknotes are transferred to the dispensing storage section 8, and the returned banknotes are withdrawn by the banknote operator. The reject port 19 is arranged at the top of the section 2. Further, the banknotes for withdrawal stored inside the machine body I are disposed of into the dispensing storage section 8 by a sorting fork 18.

It should be noted that the machine 1 is provided with a display section (illustrated path) that displays the amount corresponding to the received banknotes among the banknotes inserted from the input section 7 and deposited within the machine 1. Furthermore, the machine body 1 includes a deposit button for opening the transparent shutter 4 to enable the insertion of banknotes S into the input section 7, and a deposit button for closing the transparent shutter 4 after the banknotes S have been input into the input section 7. Banknote S

an approval button for issuing an "approval" instruction when the amount of banknotes actually inserted by the customer matches the amount displayed on the display section; and a return button for issuing a "return" instruction for the inserted banknotes when they do not match. is provided.

Next, the depositing operation of this embodiment with the above configuration will be explained with reference to FIG.

When the customer presses the fill button, the transparent shutter 4 that closes the screen side of the input section 7 opens downward, so that the input section 7
It becomes possible to insert banknotes S into the bank (FIG. 4(a)).

When the customer presses the start button after inserting the banknotes S into the input unit 7 and placing them on the temporary 6-, the transparent shutter and ivy 4 close, and the stripping roller 16 and separating roller 17 separate the banknotes into one sheet. The feeding of the inserted banknotes S is started one by one. At this time, the separation plates 9, 9 are lowered from the standby position by the driving of the drive belts 15, I5, and in order to apply an appropriate predetermined pressure to the fed banknotes S from above, the banknotes S are smoothly fed to the last one. (Fig. 4(b)).

After the banknotes S fed out one by one from the self-recording input unit 7 are deposited inside the machine body 1, the accepted banknotes are sorted by the sorting fork 18 to the output storage unit 8, and placed on separation plates 9, 9 for low processing. The banknotes S are accumulated one after another. In this case, the input section 7
Since the unprocessed banknotes S remaining in the banknotes S and the parent processed banknotes S accumulated in the dispensing storage section 8 are separated by the separation plates 9, there is no possibility of confusion between the two (see Fig. 4). C))
.

When the deposit processing of all the input banknotes S is completed, the separation plates 9, 9 on which the parent banknotes S are accumulated descend to the lowest position where they come into contact with the placement plate 6, and enter the approval waiting state t5, and the banknotes S are stacked. Of these, the amount corresponding to the received banknotes is displayed on the display section. If the customer presses the return button without approving the displayed amount due to a discrepancy between the displayed amount and the input amount,
Open the transparent glossy 4. Thereby, the banknotes S on the dispensing storage section 8, that is, the separating plates 9 can be taken out (FIG. 4(d)).

If the displayed amount matches the input amount, and the customer approves the displayed amount and presses the approval button, the driving hold 15.
15, the separating plates 9, 9 rise from the lowermost position to the predetermined position and stop. As a result, the input section 7

When the separating plates 9, 9 rise to the predetermined position, the rollers 11, 11 integrated with the separating plates 9, 9 enter into the notches 5B, 5B of the side plates 5, 5, and are loaded by springs (paths shown). The separation plates 9, which had been urged toward the placing plate 6 side, rotate 90' in the direction of arrow Y3 about the separation plate rotation axis 10-10, and retreat to the open position, resulting in the separation plates 9, Banknotes S supported on 9 fall onto placement plate 6. (Figure 4(r)).

In order to store the banknotes S on the aforementioned placement plate 6 inside the machine body l,
The feeding operation of the banknote S is started by the feeding roller 16 and separation roller 17. When the banknote feeding operation is completed, the notches 5 of the side plates 5, 5 are opened as the drive belts 15, 15 are driven.
Since the rollers 11, 11 that had been inserted into B, 5B descend and come out from inside the notches 5B, 5B, the separation plates 9, 9 rotate 90 degrees in the direction of arrow Y4 from the open position, and then Descends to the standby position. This prepares for the next bill insertion (FIG. 4(g)).

In the case of withdrawal processing, the separating plates 9, 9 first rise from the standby position and are located at a predetermined position, and then the amount of accumulated banknotes to be ejected onto the separating plates 9, 9 from inside the machine body 1 is adjusted. Accordingly, it gradually descends from the predetermined position. After the dispensing operation of a predetermined number of banknotes is completed, the separator Fi, 9 is lowered to the lowest position and is ready for dispensing.

In addition, in the embodiment, one side of the filter space constituted by the input section 7 and the dispensing storage section 8 is covered with two transparent windows 3 and 4.
Although it was formed from a single board, it is not limited to this.
For example, it may be formed of a single transparent plate that allows only the portion corresponding to the transparent cover 4 to be opened and closed.

V. Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the input section and the dispensing storage section are constituted by one space whose interior can be seen through from one side, and the dispensing section and the dispensing storage section are constituted by one space whose interior can be seen through from one side, and the dispensing section and the dispensing storage section are formed into one space in which the inside can be seen through from the inside of the machine body. A separation plate having a banknote placement surface on which bills to be dispensed are placed is provided, and the separation plate is movable in the vertical direction within the space with the banknote placement surface facing upward. The inside can be vertically divided into a note dispensing storage part and a bill inputting part, and the bill placement surface is rotatable downward about one end of the bill placement surface. Since it is configured to retreat from the space when rotating downward, the following effects can be achieved.

When depositing money, you can check all of the inserted banknotes and temporarily stored banknotes that have been deposited from outside the machine. Furthermore, when dispensing money, it is possible to check the process from accumulation of bills to be disbursed to dispensing. As a result, it is possible to eliminate the problems that occur in the past, such as making customers feel uneasy.
