[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In recent years, with the development of automation in transaction operations, the number of machines installed has increased in the limited installation space.
Due to limited installation space, equipment maintenance demands from operators are becoming more diverse, such as equipment installed on a wall and maintained from the front, or equipment protruded from the wall for maintenance from the rear.

However, according to the prior art having the above-mentioned configuration, the feeding means is fixedly installed at the end of the insertion path in order to bring the feeding means into contact with the banknotes stored in the two safes. Since the insertion path cannot be penetrated from the front and back sides, the settings and maintenance of the device are limited to either the front or rear sides.

Therefore, in order to meet the above-mentioned demands, it is necessary to prepare two types of models, which poses a problem of increasing the price of the device.

In addition, in order to solve this problem, if the feeding means is made movable and configured so that it comes into contact with the stored banknotes after insertion into the safe, the problem that the feeding means obstructs the safe insertion path will be solved, but it will be difficult to operate. Due to the repeated movement of putting in and taking out the safe,
The precision of the delicate adjustment in the feeding means is disrupted, and the problem cannot be solved satisfactorily.

In addition, if the safe is equipped with a feeding means, the problem that the feeding means obstructs the safe insertion path can be solved, but the weight of the safe increases, making it difficult to operate, and this also does not solve the problem sufficiently. .

Further, according to the prior art having the above-mentioned configuration, since the feeding means is fixedly installed at the end of the insertion path in order to abut the bill feeding openings of the bill storage sections of the two safes, two denominations are used. Sometimes two safes, or three safes when two denominations are used, must be installed and removed individually, which increases the size of the device and complicates operations during inspection.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention solves the problem that a feeding means is provided on the safe insertion path, provides an insertion path that allows the safe to be inserted from any direction, and is suitable for both front maintenance and rear maintenance. The purpose of the present invention is to realize an automatic banknote dispensing device that can be used at a low price and that can accommodate limited installation space.

A further object of the present invention is to eliminate the need for a feeding means on the safe insertion path, to obtain a configuration in which the safe can be attached and detached all at once, and to realize a device that is compact and has good operability during inspection. do.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adds a configuration in which, after insertion into the safe, banknotes stored in the safe come into contact with and separate from a fixed feeding means.

In other words, the present invention provides a withdrawal port for paying banknotes to a customer, a safe that is detachably attached to the main body of the device for storing banknotes for withdrawal, and a bank that separates banknotes one by one from the safe. a dispensing means disposed so as to dispense the bills; a temporary storage section for temporarily accumulating and storing banknotes to be paid to a customer and overlaying a receipt on which transaction details are printed; the temporary storage section and the dispensing section; a conveyance path for conveying banknotes to and from the means; a reject safe for storing banknotes with detected abnormalities that cannot be used for payment; The automatic bill payment device includes a payment mechanism section having a discriminating section disposed in the middle of the conveyance path to detect the presence or absence of normal bills, count normal bills, etc., and performs a bill payment transaction by a customer's operation. As a safe, an integrated composite safe is provided in which a plurality of banknote storage units are arranged in a straight line with the banknote feed opening opened upward, and a device main body side is provided with a banknote storage unit corresponding to each banknote storage unit of the composite safe. A feeding means is fixedly installed, an insertion path for the composite safe is arranged directly below the feeding means, and a lift means is provided for lifting the composite safe inserted to a predetermined position in the insertion path to a connecting position with the feeding means. It is characterized by

[For production]

With the above configuration, the present invention is capable of filling each banknote storage section of an integrated composite safe with banknotes, inserting the safe through a door provided at either the front or rear of the insertion path, and feeding out the safe by the lift means. It is possible to lift the banknotes to the connected position and bring the feeding means into contact with the banknote feeding openings of each banknote storage section.

When the composite safe is set as described above, the bills are separated and dispensed one by one from the bill storage section of the composite safe by the dispensing means in accordance with the customer's operation, and the denomination of the dispensed bills is determined by the discriminating section. The banknotes that are found to have an abnormality and cannot be used for payment are stored in a ejection safe, and the banknotes that can be used for payment are temporarily accumulated and stored in a temporary storage section. However, once the specified amount has been accumulated in the temporary storage section, a receipt with printed details of the transaction can be placed on top of the accumulated banknotes and these can be discharged to the customer from the withdrawal port.
