Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to an automatic currency transaction device that has both a deposit function and a withdrawal function, and more specifically, a currency automatic transaction device that has a deposit function and a withdrawal function. The present invention relates to an automatic currency transaction device that circulates banknotes and can be used as banknotes.

(Prior Art) In recent years, automatic currency transaction devices such as automatic deposit machines have been developed and put into practical use in order to save labor in bank counter operations.

However, in conventional devices of this type, when withdrawing money, the banknotes stored in the withdrawal box are taken out and paid, and when making a deposit, the accepted banknotes are stored in a deposit box separate from the withdrawal box. As such, each safe section was independent. For this reason, there are several thousand banknotes for each denomination in the machine during operation, as well as several thousand banknotes that have been deposited into the machine. The result is similar to that of a large number of banknotes being unnecessarily idle inside the device.
The problem is that not only is the efficiency of using banknotes extremely low, but also the burden of setting banknotes at the start of operation of the device and rearranging the banknotes at the end of operation is large.

Therefore, recently, as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 55-85967, a circulating system that allows deposited banknotes to be used as withdrawal banknotes has been developed as a solution to these problems. A deposit/withdrawal device has been proposed.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, when using deposited banknotes as withdrawal banknotes, it is necessary to It is necessary to transfer them all at once into the containment room, but if the deposited banknotes are not in the same order, it may not be possible to transfer them reliably, and even if it is possible to transfer them, the stacked state may be It becomes uneven,
There is a problem that the primary withdrawal cannot be performed reliably at the time of withdrawal. Particularly for those equipped with a banknote accommodating section that transfers banknotes horizontally in an upright position, the stacking state is corrected midway through as the banknotes are constantly pressed by a back-up body to prevent them from falling over. There are some problems that can't be done and the impact will be large.

The present invention was made based on the above circumstances, and
The purpose of this system is to ensure that deposited banknotes can be transferred to the banknote storage section for use as banknotes for withdrawal, and to enable stable deposit and withdrawal operations using a banknote circulation system. The aim is to provide a currency transaction device for

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a banknote circulation type currency automatic machine that allows deposited banknotes to be used as banknotes for withdrawal. In the transaction device, there is a temporary accumulation section for deposits that temporarily accumulates deposited banknotes to be used for withdrawals, a collection device that arranges the deposited banknotes accumulated in this temporary accumulation section, and a collection device that collects the deposited banknotes used for withdrawals. The present invention is configured to include a transfer device for transferring banknotes that have been collected to a banknote accommodating section in which banknotes for withdrawal of the same denomination are accommodated.

(Function) In other words, the banknotes accumulated in the temporary accumulation section for deposit are arranged by the arrangement device, and thereby the transfer device can reliably transfer the banknotes to the banknote storage section. Further, since the banknotes are stored in the banknote storage section in an arranged state, it is possible to reliably take out one banknote at the time of withdrawal. Further, even if the present invention is equipped with a banknote accommodating section of a type that transfers banknotes in an upright position in the plane direction, it can be applied because the banknotes are arranged in advance and accommodated.

Furthermore, a transfer device 6 transfers the deposited banknotes P... into the banknote storage chamber 66 in order to make the banknotes P... for withdrawal based on FIGS.
The configuration of No. 8 will be explained. Transfer devices 68 and 38 provided in the first safe section 63 and the third safe section 65
Since the configurations are the same except for the direction in which they are arranged, only the one on the third safe section 65 side will be described here. That is, the receiving opening 62, which receives banknotes P in an upright position, which are carried out in a bundle via the carryout mechanism 55, has a pair of U-shaped cross sections that support both longitudinal ends of banknotes P. It is composed of receiving metal fittings 90, 90. These receiving fittings 90, 90 are each attached via a holder 91 to a vertically movable block 94 which is held movably up and down by a guide shaft 92 provided parallel and perpendicularly, and a lead screw 93. , the lead screw 93 is connected to the motor 95
The receiving metal fitting 90 is configured to be raised or lowered by being driven in the forward or reverse direction by the holder. Moreover, these pair of banknote holding mechanisms 96a, 96b having receiving metal fittings 90, 90
are mounted on first and second horizontally movable blocks 98a and 98b which are supported by a pair of guide shafts 97 and 97, respectively, so that they can reciprocate along the banknote stacking direction in the banknote storage chamber 66.
The first horizontal movable block 98a is connected to a midway portion of a first timing belt 101, which is stretched between a driving pulley 99 and a driven pulley 100, which are disposed at both ends of the guide shaft 97. The second horizontal movable block 98b is connected to the middle part of the second timing belt 103, which is stretched with driven pulleys 102, 102 (only one shown) in parallel with the first timing belt 101. It has become a state of being. moreover,
These first and second timing belts 101,1
The driven pulleys 100 and 102 on which 03 is stretched
are attached to both ends of a rotating shaft 104 which is rotatably supported by a bearing device (not shown) so as to interlock with each other. When the drive pulley 99 is driven in the forward or reverse direction by the motor 105, the first and second timing belts 101 and 103 simultaneously move at the same speed and in the same direction, thereby causing the banknote holding mechanisms 96a and 96b to move simultaneously. The first, equipped with
The second horizontal movable blocks 98a, 98b are adapted to move forward or backward.

Also, between the movement path of the first horizontal movable block 98a and the movement path of the second horizontal movable block 98b, there is a third horizontal movable block guided so as to be reciprocally movable via guide shafts 106, 106. 98c is provided, and this third horizontal movable block 98c is provided with a banknote P in the banknote storage chamber 66.

The back up body 72 is attached to a vertically movable block 111 which is held movable up and down by a motor 10. The backup body 72 is designed to rise or fall.

Further, the third horizontally movable block 98c equipped with the backup mechanism 107 is connected to a third timing belt 115, which is stretched between a driving pulley 113 and a driven pulley 114, which are disposed at both ends of the guide shaft 106. It is connected in the middle. The driven pulley 114 is rotatably attached to the intermediate portion of the rotating shaft 104 via a bearing 116. By driving the drive pulley 113 in the forward or reverse direction by the motor 117, the third horizontal movable block 98c moves forward or backward.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6A, the unloading mechanism 55
The banknotes P... sent in through the banknotes P are inserted into the receiving fittings 90, 90 forming the receiving openings 62 of the banknote holding mechanisms 96a, 96b, which are previously at the upper limit position, and both ends thereof are held. When the holding of the bank note P by the receiving fittings 90, 90 is completed in this way, the first and second horizontally movable blocks 98a, 98b equipped with the bank note holding mechanisms 96a, 96b simultaneously move forward and hold the bank note P. The banknotes P... are transferred to the back side of the banknote storage chamber 66, and the banknotes P stored in the banknote storage chamber 66 are transferred to the end surfaces of the receiving metal fittings 90, 90 in the moving direction as shown in FIG. …
Press the back side, that is, both longitudinal ends on the side opposite to the extraction direction. At this time, as the receiving metal fittings 90, 90 are pressed, the accumulation pressure of the banknotes P stored in the banknote storage chamber 66 increases, and the pressure detection switch 1 disposed in parallel with the withdrawal pressure detection switch 73 increases.
18 is turned "on" and the banknote holding mechanism 96a, 9
First and second horizontal movable blocks 9 equipped with 6b
The motor 105, which is the drive source for the motors 8a and 98b, stops.

Next, the motor 112 of the backup mechanism 107 that backs up the banknotes P in the banknote storage chamber 66 is reversed to lower the backup body 72, and as shown in FIG. It can be retracted to the lower surface side of the banknote receiving surface 66a of 66. Next, the motor 117, which is the drive source of the third horizontal movable block 98c equipped with the backup mechanism 107, is reversely rotated for a predetermined period of time, so that the backup body 72 is moved backward, and the receiving metal fitting 9

Opposing the central part in the longitudinal direction. At this time, the motor 105 rotates slightly in the opposite direction to move the first and second horizontally movable blocks 98a and 98 on which the banknote holding mechanisms 96a and 96b are mounted.
b moves back a little and turns the pressure detection switch 118 "off".

Next, the back-up body 72 advances and pushes the longitudinal center portion of the bank note P, which is held at both ends by the receiving metal fittings 90, 90, from the back side, and is stored in the bank note storage chamber 66. Bank note P
Press the pressure detection switch 11 on the back side of...
When 8 is turned "on" again, its movement is stopped.

When the pressing operation of the banknotes P held by the receiving fittings 90, 90 by the back-up body 72 is completed in this way, the banknote holding mechanisms 96a, 96b
The motors 95, 95 rotate in the opposite direction, and the receiving metal fittings 90, 90 are lowered and drawn into the lower surface side of the banknote receiving surface 66a of the banknote storage chamber 66, as shown in FIG. 6E. Thereafter, the first and second horizontally movable blocks 98a and 98b are moved backward by the reverse rotation of the motor 105, and the receiving fittings 90 and 90 become in a state corresponding to the carrying-out mechanism 55. Next, at this position, motor 9
5 and 95 rotate in the forward direction and the receiving metal fittings 90 and 90
increases, and as shown in Figure 6, the subsequent bank note P
... is placed on standby as acceptable. Note that after this, the motor 117 rotates slightly in the reverse direction, causing the backup body 72 to move back a little, and the pressure detection switch 1
18 is in the "off" state.

With the above steps, the operation of storing the deposited banknotes P into the banknote storage chamber 66 for storing the withdrawal banknotes P is completed.

Note that the withdrawal pressure detection switch 73 is adapted to operate at a pressure weaker than the pressure detected by the pressure detection switch 118, and the banknote storage chamber 66
In other words, the backup body 72 and the take-out roller 67
The motor 117 is driven in the forward direction when the accumulated pressure of banknotes P between the banknotes P... becomes less than the best take-out pressure, and is stopped when the best take-out pressure is reached. The backup body 72 is intermittently moved to a state commensurate with the amount of banknotes P to be taken out from the banknote storage chamber 66, so that good banknotes can always be taken out.

Next, the operation of the automatic currency transaction device having the above configuration will be explained with reference to FIGS. 7 to 10. First, the withdrawal operation will be explained based on FIG. For example, assume that two denominations of banknotes P are used for withdrawal, and the banknotes P are 1,000 yen note Pa and 10,000 yen note Pb.
Thousand yen notes Pa... are set in advance in the banknote storage chamber 66 of the third safe section 65, and million yen notes Pb... are set in advance in the banknote storage chamber 66 of the third safe section 65. Here, for example, 5
Assuming that banknotes Pa and Pb of 4,000 yen are to be withdrawn, first, five 10,000 yen banknotes Pb are intermittently taken out by the action of the take-out roller 67 and transferred to the supply conveyance path 74.
The banknotes are transferred from the safe unit section 11 to the first conveyance path 18 of the banknote processing section 10. Then, the banknote inspection device 24 installed in the middle of this first conveyance path 18 inspects the size of the ten thousand yen note Pb, presence or absence of stacked conveyance, authenticity, etc., and the banknote passes the inspection result. The objects are sorted by the fourth sorting gate 35 and accumulated in the fourth temporary accumulation section 28 via the impeller 50. At this time, if there are 10,000 yen bills P'b that have been rejected as a result of the inspection, they are again taken out by the take-out roller 67 by the number of rejected bills and similarly stacked in the fourth temporary stacking section 28. Incidentally, the rejected ten thousand yen note P'b is conveyed as it is along the first conveyance path 18 to the terminal end and is collected in the collection warehouse 29. This completes the operation of taking out the 10000 yen note Pb..., and then the 1000 yen note Pa
Four banknotes are intermittently taken out from the banknote storage chamber 66 of the first safe section 63 and delivered to the banknote processing section 10 via the supply conveyance path 74. Then, after the same process as in the case of the 10,000 yen note Pb, it is accumulated on the 10,000 yen note Pb in the fourth temporary accumulation section 28.

In this way, the banknotes Pa..., Pb... of 54,000 yen accumulated in the fourth temporary accumulation section 28 are processed by the above-mentioned arrangement device 54 described based on FIGS. 3 and 4. Both end surfaces along the take-out direction are aligned, and then the gate 51 is opened as shown by the two-dot chain line, and the push plate 53 is lowered and pushed out, passing through the second conveyance path 38 to the temporary receiving section 49.
It will be transported to Furthermore, these banknotes Pa…,Pb
... is fed into the banknote receiving section 12 by the rotational displacement movement of the movable plate 48, and the customer is prompted to take it out by automatically opening the lid 5, and
Banknotes Pa..., Pb... are extracted from the banknotes.
(As mentioned above, in FIG. 7, the flow of banknotes for withdrawal that passed the inspection result is shown by solid line arrows, and the flow of banknotes for withdrawal that failed the inspection result is shown by dashed line arrows. ) Next, the operation of depositing money will be explained based on FIGS. 8 to 10. For example, in the case of deposit, 4
It is assumed that banknotes P of denominations P... are handled, and the banknotes P... are 500 yen notes, 1000 yen notes, 5000 yen notes, and 10,000 yen notes. First, when the customer operates according to the operation guide, the lid 5 automatically opens and the deposit/withdrawal port 6 is opened. Customers can use banknotes P...
After inserting banknotes P into the deposit/withdrawal slot 6 at once, when the cover body 5 is manually closed as a signal to finish inserting banknotes, the taking-in roller 13 rotates intermittently, and the input banknotes P held in the banknote receiving section 12 are rotated intermittently. ...is taken in intermittently one by one. The taken-in banknotes P pass through a pair of transfer rollers 14 and a take-in conveyance path 17 to a first conveyance path 18 which is also a conveyance path at the time of withdrawal.
The banknote inspection device 24 checks the banknote P...
The authenticity of the documents, presence or absence of stacked transportation, size, etc. will be inspected. Then, among the banknotes P determined to be genuine according to the inspection results, 1,000-yen notes Pa are stored in the first temporary storage section 25 for banknotes that are handled in small numbers, such as 500-yen notes Pc and 5,000-yen notes Pd. are stored in the second temporary stacking section 26, and 10,000 yen notes Pb... are stored in the third temporary stacking section 27.For example, bank notes that have been conveyed in a manner that is greatly bent or have been conveyed in piles when the inspection result is rejected. P′a, P′b,
P'c and P'd are sorted and accumulated in the fourth temporary accumulation section 28 by sorting gates 32, 33, 34, and 35, respectively, and are arranged by an arrangement device 54.

In addition, if the inspection result fails, the fourth temporary storage section 2
The excluded tickets P′a, P′b, P′c, P′d accumulated in 8 are:
Similar to the above-mentioned withdrawal banknotes, they are sent to the temporary receiving section 49 through the second conveyance path 38 and then returned to the banknote receiving section 1 again.
After that, unlike when dispensing money, the money is taken in one by one again by the take-in roller 13, inspected, and stacked according to each denomination type. (In FIG. 8, the flow of banknotes for deposit that passed the inspection result is shown by solid line arrows, and the flow of banknotes for deposit that failed the inspection result is shown by dashed line arrows.) Bank note P′a that cannot be passed,
P′b, P′c, P′d, for example, if it is extremely dirty,
After the above-mentioned reprocessing is repeated two or three times for broken or different types of bills, they are returned to the banknote receiving section 12, and the lid 5 is automatically opened to prompt the customer to take them out and return them to the customer. will be done.

Next, when the customer confirms the deposited amount and inputs that fact, that is, presses the approval button, the gate 51 at each exit of the first, second, and third temporary accumulation sections 25, 26, 27... As it opens, the push plate 53 descends to remove the accumulated 1,000 yen notes Pa..., 500 yen notes Pc..., 5,000 yen notes Pd..., and 10,000 yen notes Pb... from the temporary accumulation parts 25, 26, 27. The bundles are pushed out and sent to the safe section 1 via the delivery mechanism 55.
Exported to 0. The 1,000-yen note Pa... is placed in the receiving port 60 of the first safe section 63, and the 500-yen note Pc... and the 5,000-yen note Pd... are placed in the receiving port 61 of the second safe section 64.
Furthermore, the ten thousand yen notes Pb... are each stored in the receiving opening 62 of the third safe section 65 all at once. Next, the 1,000 yen note Pa... and the 10,000 yen note Pb... are transferred to the transfer device 68 described above based on FIGS. 5 and 6.
500 yen notes Pc..., 5000 yen notes Pd... that are stored in the banknote storage chambers 66, 66 to be used as banknotes for withdrawal and are not eligible for withdrawal are transferred to the bank by the pushing mechanism 69. The ticket is stored in the ticket storage chamber 71 and the deposit operation is completed. (In Figure 9 above, the flow of banknotes stored in the safe is shown by solid line arrows, and the flow of returned banknotes is shown by broken line arrows.) In addition, during the deposit, when confirming the amount, the user When the disapproval is made, that is, when the disapproval button is pressed, the shutters 45 move to a position where they close the receiving opening of the unloading mechanism 55, and the exits of the first, second, and third temporary accumulation sections 25, 26, and 27 are moved. The gates 51 provided at the gates are opened in order. and,
As mentioned above, the banknotes Pa..., Pc..., Pd..., Pb... temporarily accumulated in the temporary accumulation sections 25, 26, 27
is sent out and returned to the banknote receiving section 12 via the return path 37 and the second conveyance path 38, and the lid 5 opens to prompt the customer to remove the banknote, completing the return operation.
