Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an automatic teller machine for depositing money in banknotes.

(Prior Art) Various devices for depositing banknotes have been devised in the past, and for example, there is a device as shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 40-27948.

In this device, banknotes are placed in an envelope etc.
Insert this envelope into the device. Confirmation data is added to the inserted envelopes, and banknotes are sequentially removed from the envelopes and images of each banknote and the envelope are recorded, thereby automating the deposit of banknotes in bulk.

However, such devices have the following problems.

First, the user has to put the banknotes in an envelope or the like, which takes time when making a deposit.

Furthermore, since a device for taking out banknotes from the envelope is required, the device becomes large.

Furthermore, the amount that the user thought he had deposited,
If the recorded amount did not match, problems would arise later, resulting in a lack of reliability.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The present invention has been made based on the above-mentioned circumstances, and aims to provide a small and highly reliable automatic teller machine without causing any trouble to users. .

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention includes a supply section into which banknotes are input in bulk, a supply section that is closed off from the outside, and a card etc. A lid that automatically opens when the validity of the reading result of the personal identification is recognized, a lid detector that detects the closed state of the lid, and a lid detector that detects the presence or absence of banknotes inserted into the supply unit. an insertion detector; a takeout device that automatically takes out banknotes placed in the supply unit one by one when both the detectors are activated based on signals from the lid detector and the insertion detector; and from the takeout device. a detecting means for determining whether the transferred banknote is a genuine banknote or a fraudulent banknote; a sorting means for sorting into genuine banknotes and fraudulent banknotes based on the detection result of the detecting means; a removal port for accumulating the sorted fraudulent banknotes, a stacking section for the genuine banknotes sorted by the sorting means, and a calculation means for automatically calculating the total amount excluding the rejected banknotes;
Display means for displaying the results calculated by the means;
It is equipped with an input means for inputting whether or not to approve the deposit based on the display result by the means, and a means for returning the banknotes in the stacking section all at once when the deposit is not approved by the input means. be.

(Function) The lid body is opened to enable depositing only when the user's legitimacy is recognized, and banknotes are classified into genuine banknotes and fraudulent banknotes based on the detection results of the detection means.
The user confirms the deposit amount by displaying the total amount of genuine banknotes on the display means. When the input means inputs that the user approves that there is no error in the deposited amount, the deposit is terminated, and if the deposit is not approved, the banknotes are returned.

(Example) The present invention will be described below based on an example shown in the drawings. In FIG. 1, 1 is a deposit machine housing movable by casters 2, and 3 is a bill supply section provided at the front of the housing 1. This supply section 3 has a storage chamber 5 into which banknote bundles 4 can be put in at once, and a lid 6 that covers this storage chamber 5. To further explain the lid body 6, it is constructed as shown in FIGS. 3 to 6. That is, 7 is a pulse motor, and a cam 8 is attached to this rotating shaft, and the cam 8 is configured to rotate 360 degrees to the right in response to an input signal. This cam 8 has a support shaft 10
A roller 9 is connected via an arm 9a fixed to the cam 8, and the rotation of the cam 8 causes the support shaft 10 to rotate by a predetermined angle. This support shaft 10
A fixed shaft 10a having the same diameter is concentrically adjacent to the end surface of the fixed shaft 10a, and a ratchet 10b is carved on the outer peripheral wall of the end of the fixed shaft 10a. Some of the above Rachiets 1
An engagement groove 10c having the same shape as one tooth of 0b is formed. The base 6a of the lid 6 is fitted onto the support shaft 10 via a felt 6b. Further, an engaging pawl 6c facing the ratchet 10b and the engaging groove 10c is pivotally attached to the base 6a of the lid 6a, and this is supported by a spring 6d.
Therefore, the ratchet 10b and the engagement groove 10 are always
c. Furthermore, a backup 11 is fitted inside the lid 6, and is rotatably fitted to the fixed shaft 10a.
This is configured such that a spring 12 presses the banknote bundle 4 and clamps the banknote bundle 4 between it and a tip presser 13. The banknote bundle 4 is set and the lid 6 is opened.
The fact that the banknotes are closed is detected by a lid detector such as the switch 14, and whether or not the banknote bundle 4 is set is detected by photoelectric insertion detectors 15a and 15b. Air is blown from a vacuum pump 16 to the banknote bundle 4 set in the supply section 3 through a pipe 17, and the banknotes are taken out one by one by a take-out device, such as a take-out rotor 19, which is evacuated from the vacuum pump 16 through a pipe 18. The deposit mechanism 20a performs a predetermined deposit operation, which will be described later. That is, the taken out banknotes 4 ₁ are placed between the endless belts 20 and 21 hooked on the pulleys and between the endless belts 20 and 2
0 and 22 and transferred to the sorting gate 23 side. During the transfer of the banknotes ₄₁ , a detection unit 24 including a light source 25, a light receiving element 26, and a preamplifier 27 detects the authenticity of the banknotes, whether or not the banknotes have expired, and whether or not there has been a mistake in taking out the banknotes such as overlapping, and also determines the denomination. be done. The fraudulent banknotes or stacked banknotes 4 ₂ detected by the detection unit 24 are sorted by the sorting gate 23 and passed through the endless belts 28 and 2 hooked on pulleys.
9 and is transferred and guided to the removal port 30. Further, whether or not there are banknotes removed from the removal port 30 can be detected by photoelectric detectors 31a and 31b. On the other hand, the genuine banknotes 4a sorted into the sorting group 23 are transferred to the endless belt 32 hooked on the pulley.
33 and transferred to the accumulation section 34.
The banknote sorting operation of the sorting gate 23 can be performed by rotating the arm 36 using the rotary solenoid 35 and rotating the arm-type sorting gate 23 via the linkage 37. Further, since the genuine banknotes 43 transferred via the belts 32 and 33 are placed in the stacking section 34, they are sequentially stacked on the plate 38. Reservoir guide part 3
9 connects a belt 40 hooked to a pulley to a motor 41
It can be moved up and down along the rail 42 by rotating the roller 44 with the motor 46, and since it is set on the plate guide part 39, the plate mounting part 43 rotates the roller 44 with the belt 45 hooked to the pulley. It is movable left and right on the reservoir guide portion 39. Therefore, the reservoir plate 38 is a removable deposit box 4.
7, exit from the deposit box 47, and rise along the side wall of the deposit box 47. A detector 48 provided at the lower part of the reservoir plate 38 detects that the reservoir plate 38 has been lowered until it comes into contact with the already accumulated genuine banknotes 4 ₃ '. Accumulating section 34
There is a lid 5 on the top that can be opened and closed by pivoting a lever 49.
0 is set. The lever 49 is pivoted by rotating a cam 52 with a motor 51.

In FIG. 1, 53 is a main motor for taking out and transporting banknotes via a clutch 54 that rotates the vacuum pump 16, and 55a and 55b are photoelectric detectors for detecting jams in the banknotes being transported. It is.

FIG. 2 is an electrical circuit diagram of the device shown in FIG.
Components corresponding to those in the figures are given the same numbers and their explanations will be omitted. The control section 56 performs various driving controls of the apparatus shown in FIG. Calculation device, for example, denomination discrimination totalizer 57
In addition to detecting fraudulent banknotes and stacked banknotes and determining denominations, the system automatically calculates the total amount of genuine banknotes that pass through the system. The keyboard 58 is equipped with keys and the like for the depositor to express his/her intention to approve or disapprove the deposit. The display section 59 displays the amount entered by the depositor and the total amount of genuine banknotes actually counted. The input/output control section 60 controls the keyboard 58 and the display section 59. Further, various drivers 61 to 66 drive corresponding motors and the like.

Next, the operation of the automatic teller machine configured as in the above embodiment will be explained. First, the depositor inserts his/her own personal identification card (not shown) and magnetically reads the authentication number etc. recorded on this card. Then, the card reading information is sent to a discrimination circuit (not shown), and if the information is correct, an activation signal is sent to the control section 56. Therefore, the pulse motor 7 operates via the driver 61, and the cam 8
When the arm 9a rotates 360 degrees to the right, the roller 9 is pushed and the arm 9a rotates. When the support shaft 10 rotates with the rotation of the arm 9a, the engagement pawl 6c rotates in the direction of the arrow against the restoring force of the spring 6d, and is disengaged from the engagement groove 10c and also disengaged from the ratchet 10b. Therefore, the support shaft 10 is integrated with the lid 6 due to the friction of the felt 6b interposed therebetween, and the lid 6 is opened as shown by the two-dot chain line, and the lid 6 is held in the open state by its own weight. will be retained as is.

Next, when the depositor inserts and sets the deposit banknotes 4 all at once into the supply section 3, the depositor detects the insertion detectors 15a and 15.
b is activated and detects that the banknote 4 has been inserted. Then, when the lid 6 is closed, the operating section interlocked with the lid 6 biases the switch 14 to detect the closed state of the lid 6. That is, the lid body 6 is connected to the engaging claw 6.
c is disengaged from the ratchet 10b and the engagement groove 10c, so the depositor closes it by pushing with his or her fingers. At this time, the arm 9a rotates and deviates as the support shaft 10 rotates, and the roller 9 engages the cam. contact 8,
The support shaft 10 no longer rotates. Then, when the lid body 6 is pressed, the engagement claw 6c falls into the engagement groove 10c,
The lid 6 is locked by engaging with the ratchet 10b. In this way, when the insertion detectors 15a and 15b detect the insertion of banknotes 4 and the switch 14 detects the closed state of the lid 6 and the AND condition is satisfied, the AND circuit 67 is activated and the take-out rotor 19 is actuated. A start signal is sent.

Therefore, the banknote bundle 4 set in the supply section 3 is taken out one by one by the take-out rotor 19 and inspected by the detection section 24. And genuine banknotes 4
₃ are stacked on the board 38 for the accumulation section 34 via the sorting gate 23, and the amount of money just stacked is calculated by the totalizer 57 and displayed on the display 59. The depositor confirms the displayed result and presses an approval button on the keyboard 58. By pressing this button, the authentication number recorded on the personal identification card (not shown) and the total deposit amount calculated by totalizer 59 are sent to the central processing unit. Thereafter, the motor 41 rotates and the reservoir plate 38 descends. Detector 4
8 descends until it comes into contact with the already accumulated genuine banknotes 4 ₃ ', the motor 46 rotates, and the reservoir plate 38 is moved to the left in the figure. Even when the reservoir plate 38 is pulled out from the safe 47, the genuine banknotes 4 ₃ on the reservoir plate 38 remain as they are, and are placed on top of the already accumulated genuine banknotes 4 ₃ ′. Then, when the motor 41 is reversed and the reservoir plate 38 rises to its original height, the motor 4
6 rotates and moves the dam 38 in the direction shown, returning the dam 38 to its original position in preparation for the next accumulation.
On the other hand, when a banknote is stacked with a fraudulent or suspicious banknote (including a banknote that is difficult to distinguish due to dirt, etc.), the banknote is sandwiched between the belts 28 and 29 via the sorting gate 23. Exclusion port 3
Eliminated to 0. This rejected banknote is detected by photoelectric detectors 31a and 31b and is notified to the depositor to prevent the depositor from forgetting to take it. Among the banknotes discharged to the removal port 30, the weighed banknotes are fed into the supply unit 3 again by the depositor. If the depositor does not approve the deposit because the deposit amount is not the expected amount or the displayed amount is incorrect, the depositor presses the disapproval button on the keyboard 58 and rotates the mochi 51 to release the lid 50.
, and then rotate the motor 41 to open the storage plate 3.
8, the banknotes on the savings board 38 can be returned to the depositor. When the depositor receives the returned banknotes and the banknotes in the removal slot 30, he/she has obtained all the banknotes that he or she has deposited. However, in the above operation, when the depositor inserts the personal identification card and the lid 6 of the supply section 3 is opened as shown by the two-dot chain line, the depositor inserts the personal identification card and the information is correct. When the cover removal body 6 is closed without inserting the banknotes, the control unit 56 uses the input detectors 15a and 15b to release the banknotes 4.
The switch 14 detects that the lid 6 is not turned on and that the lid 6 is closed. That is, the lid detector switch 14 and the input detector 15
Since the AND condition with a and 15b cannot be satisfied,
When it is determined that the depositor has closed the lid 6 by mistake, the pulse motor 7 is operated again via the driver 61 to open the lid 6 again.

According to the embodiment described above, banknotes can be deposited all at once without using an envelope or the like, and there is no need for the user to take any trouble.

Furthermore, since the lid of the supply section is closed only to authorized users and fraudulent banknotes are removed, mischief by malicious users can be prevented.

Furthermore, since the deposited amount is displayed and the user's approval is obtained, there is no risk of trouble occurring later, making the device highly reliable.

Furthermore, since the lid opens automatically when depositing money, the user can easily find the supply section, and the user can be encouraged to deposit money.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a small and highly reliable automatic deposit machine that reduces the user's effort.
