Banknotes are separated one by one by the payout means 10.11 from the 10,000 yen safe 9 and paid out in order, and the paid out banknotes are conveyed by the conveyance path 12a or 12b and fed into the conveyance path 12c.

Then, in the middle of this conveyance path 12c, a discriminating section (not shown) discriminates the denomination and detects the presence or absence of an abnormality such as skewed single feeding, and as a result, the banknotes with no abnormality are conveyed to the end of the conveyance path 12c. They are then stacked on the stage 6 by a stacking rollerf.

On the other hand, if the discrimination section detects an abnormality in the conveyance of banknotes, or if there are banknotes of different denominations or uncountable banknotes, these abnormal banknotes are conveyed to the end of the conveyance path 12c and then transferred to the conveyance path 12d. After that, it falls into the reject safe 13 and is stored there.

In this way, when the amount and number of banknotes requested by the customer are accumulated on the stage 6, the shutter 5 is opened by means not shown, allowing the customer to take out the banknotes on the stage 6 from the withdrawal port 2, and at the same time A receipt, on which transaction details are printed by a receipt printing mechanism (not shown), is also ejected from the non-slip receipt outlet.

Further, if the customer does not take out the banknotes even if the shutter 5 opens, that is, if the customer forgets to take out the banknotes, the shutter 5 closes after a certain period of time and the stage 6
rotates downward and the forgotten banknotes are placed in the forgotten banknote storage box 1.
After that, the stage 6 is returned to its original horizontal position.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, in the conventional automatic banknote dispensing device mentioned above,
- If a second forgotten banknote occurs after the first forgotten banknote is stored in the forgotten banknote storage box, if the second forgotten banknote is stored in the forgotten banknote storage box, the two can be distinguished. In order to avoid inconvenience during inspection, the storage of forgotten banknotes in the forgotten banknote storage box is limited to one time only.
When a second forgotten bill occurs, immediately after the shutter closes, the device automatically switches to the transaction abort mode with the forgotten bills accumulated on the stage, and the transaction will continue until the clerk takes the number of strokes for the forgotten bills. This poses a problem in that operations at unmanned stores at night, on holidays, or at unmanned stores are disrupted.

In addition, the reject safe and the forgotten banknote storage box are each provided independently, and the reject safe and the forgotten banknote storage box must be attached and removed individually when the device is operating or inspected, which increases the size of the device. In addition, there was also the problem that the operability was poor, and that it took a lot of time and effort to do the inspection because it was necessary to check whether there were bills in both the ejection safe and the forgotten bill storage box.

The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and even if a bill is left behind for payment more than once, it is possible to store the forgotten bill without canceling the transaction, and The object of the present invention is to realize an automatic banknote dispensing device that can be downsized, has good operability, and can reduce the effort and time required for inspection.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a temporary storage unit with a two-layer structure consisting of a first stage for accumulating banknotes and a second stage located on this first stage for accumulating receipts. a two-way conveyor means comprising a lower conveyor belt located between the dispensing port and the left banknote storage box and an upper conveyor belt that can be opened and closed with respect to the lower conveyor belt; A fullness detection means is provided to detect whether the bill storage box is full of bills.

[Effect]

The present invention having the above-mentioned configuration conveys the banknotes and receipts in the temporary storage section between the lower conveyance belt and the upper conveyance belt of the bidirectional conveyance means to the withdrawal port, and also allows the customer to transfer the banknotes and receipts to the withdrawal port. If the left banknotes and receipts are left behind, the left banknotes and receipts are held in the lower conveyor belt and the upper conveyor belt each time until the fullness detecting means detects that the left banknote storage box is full. Store forgotten bills in the storage box.

Further, before the banknotes are accumulated in the temporary storage unit, banknotes for which an abnormality is detected by the discrimination unit are also sent into the forgotten banknote storage box and stored therein.

Therefore, according to this method, the forgotten banknotes and receipts are transported and stored together in the forgotten banknote storage box, so that even if the paid banknotes are left behind twice or more, the transaction will not be canceled and the forgotten banknotes can be removed. It can be stored and processed, which allows operation at night, on holidays, or in unmanned stores without any hindrance.

In addition, since the forgotten bill storage box also serves as a reject safe, the conventional forgotten bill storage box and the eject safe can be omitted, making it possible to downsize the device and improve operability. Moreover, since rejected banknotes and forgotten banknotes can be scrutinized at the same time using the banknotes in the forgotten banknote storage box and receipts during inspection, the effort and time required for the scrutinization is reduced as in the past.

Next, the operation of the above-described configuration during a payment transaction will be explained.

First, the customer inserts the card 43 into the card insertion slot 17 and presses a key on the operation section 48 to enter information such as a PIN number and the requested payment amount.
The bills are separated one by one and sequentially fed out from the first storage section 23 and second storage section 24 by the feeding means 28 and 29, respectively, and the fed out banknotes are transferred to the discrimination section 34 via the first conveyance path 33. The paper is transported, and the discrimination section 34 discriminates the denomination and detects the presence or absence of double feeding, skewed feeding, etc.

As a result, normal banknotes with the correct denomination (and no abnormality detected) are counted and then further transported to the terminal end of the first transport path 33, and from the terminal end to the temporary storage section 32. At this time, as shown in FIG. 4 (II), the eccentric cam plate 59 is placed in a position where the tip of the rotary plate 61 is detected by the first sensor 78. is stopped, i.e. the first link 62
The cam roller 64 of the lever 70 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the eccentric cam plate 59 that is farther from the shaft 60, and the cam roller 75 of the lever 70 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the eccentric cam plate 59 that is closer to the shaft 60. 32 first stages 30 advance onto the lower conveyor belt 39 of the third conveyor path 3B, and the upper conveyor belt 40 advances onto the lower conveyor belt 39.
It is kept open to the

On the other hand, when the discrimination section 34 detects banknotes whose denomination cannot be distinguished, banknotes whose denomination is different, and abnormalities such as uncountableness, double feeding, and skewed feeding, these abnormal banknotes are then stored in the cylinder. The banknotes are transported toward the temporary storage section 32 by the transport path 33 (on the way, they are sent into the second transport path 37 by the blade 37a, and dropped into the forgotten banknote storage box 35 by the second transport path 37). is stored.

In this way, only normal banknotes are accumulated on the first stage 30 of the temporary storage section 32 and kept there for a period of time.

When the amount and number of banknotes requested by the customer are accumulated on the first stage 30, the details of the transaction are printed on a slip 44 by the receipt printing machine 46, and then the printed receipt of this slip 44 is printed. When the receipt 45 is cut by a cutter (not shown) and sent to the receipt conveyance path 41, the receipt 45 is conveyed by the register)tl conveyance path 41 and sent onto the second stage 31 of the temporary storage section 32.

Here, the eccentric cam plate 59 is rotated in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 4 (III) by a drive source (not shown), and the rotating plate 61
When the tip of the eccentric cam plate 590 is detected by the second sensor 79, rotation of the eccentric cam plate 590 is stopped. Due to this rotation of the eccentric cam plate 59, the outer peripheral surface farther from the shaft 60 moves toward the cam roller 64, and the outer peripheral surface closer to the shaft 60 moves toward the cam roller 75, so that the first link 62 twists (not shown). The lever 70 rotates in the direction of the arrow about the shaft 63 against the force of the spring 73, and the lever 70 also rotates in the direction of the arrow about the shaft 71 due to the biasing force of the spring 73. When the first link 62 rotates, the second link 66 rotates about the shaft 67 in the direction of the arrow in conjunction with this, and the first stage 30
This is because the lever 70 pushes down the post 55 of the bracket 56 that is integrated with the upper conveyance bell (40) from the upper end of the guide hole 54 toward the lower end. As a result, the upper conveyor belt 40 of the third conveyor path 38 rotates downward and closes, comes into contact with the lower conveyor belt 39, and
At the same time, the first stage 30 moves from position A to position B.
Move to the position and evacuate.

Through this series of operations, the banknotes on the first stage 30 and the receipts on the second stage 31 are transferred to the lower conveyor belt 3.
9 and the upper conveyor belt 40, and then the banknotes and receipts are transferred to the withdrawal port 16 by both conveyor belts 39 and 40.
When the object is conveyed to this point, the shutter 21 is opened by means not shown.

Here, when the customer pulls out a banknote along with the receipt from the withdrawal port 2 and it is detected by a sensor (not shown), etc.
Shutter 21 closes. Then, the eccentric cam plate 59 rotates in the opposite direction to the above until the rotary plate 61 is detected by the first sensor 78, and the first stage 30 moves from the B position to the A position by the reverse operation. As it rises to the position, the upper conveyor belt 40 rotates upward and separates from the lower conveyor belt 39 and opens, and at the same time, the card 43 is returned to the customer through the card insertion slot 17, and the apparatus returns to its initial state.

Thereafter, the same process as described above is repeated for each transaction.

The above is the normal processing operation, but if the customer does not take out the banknote even if the shutter 21 is opened after the banknote is conveyed to the withdrawal port, that is, if the customer forgets to take out the banknote, After a certain period of time has elapsed, the eccentric cam plate 59 is rotated again in the same direction as described above by a drive source (not shown) from the state shown in FIG. When the tip of the plate 61 engages with the protrusion 77 of the rotary piece 76 and the rotary piece 76 is pushed and rotated, the closing plate 58 also rotates together with the rotary piece 76 .

When the tip of the rotary piece 76 is detected by the third sensor 80, the rotation of the eccentric cam plate 59 is stopped. The state in which the banknotes are held between the belt 40 is maintained, and the banknotes and receipts are transported in the opposite direction by the rear conveyance bell 1-39 and 40, and are dropped into the forgotten banknote storage box 35 from the other end. It will be stored.

Furthermore, after the shutter 5 closes at the same time as this operation, the first stage 30 rises from the position B to the position A, and the upper conveyor belt 40 separates from the lower conveyor belt 39 and opens.

In this way, the forgotten banknotes are stored together with the receipt in the forgotten banknote storage box 35.
is monitored by a sensor 36, and therefore, the forgotten banknotes can be stored any number of times without putting the device into transaction cancel mode until the sensor 36 detects that the banknote storage box 35 is full. be exposed.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the banknote storage section in the composite safe 22 has two storage sections, the first storage section 23 and the second storage section 24. The number is not limited to three, but it is also possible to set the number to three or more.

Further, it is also possible to use a conventional safe without using the composite safe 22 and connect it to the temporary storage section 33 using a conventional conveyance path.

〔Effect of the invention 〕

As explained above, the present invention conveys the banknotes and receipts in the temporary storage section between the lower conveyance belt and the upper conveyance belt of the bidirectional conveyance means to the withdrawal port, and also allows the customer to transfer the banknotes and receipts to the withdrawal port. If the left banknotes and receipts are left behind, the left banknotes and receipts are held in the lower conveyor belt and the upper conveyor belt each time until the fullness detecting means detects that the left banknote storage box is full. The banknotes are stored in the forgotten banknote storage box, and furthermore, banknotes for which an abnormality or the like is detected by the discrimination part are sent into the forgotten banknote storage box and stored before the banknotes are accumulated in the temporary storage part.

Therefore, according to this method, forgotten bills and receipts are transported and stored together in the forgotten bill storage box, so even if two or more paid bills are left behind, the transaction is not canceled and the forgotten bills are removed. It can be stored and processed, which has the effect of allowing operations at night, on holidays, or in unmanned stores without any hindrance.

In addition, since the forgotten bill storage box also serves as a reject safe, the conventional forgotten bill storage box and the eject safe can be omitted, making it possible to downsize the device and improve operability. Moreover, during inspection, rejected bills and forgotten bills can be inspected at the same time using the bills in the forgotten bill storage box and receipts, making it possible to create an excellent automatic bill dispensing device that does not require the effort and time of previous methods. Effects can also be obtained.
