Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" This invention pools deposited banknotes in a temporary storage section and then stores them in a deposit/withdrawal box.
This invention relates to a circulating bill depositing and dispensing machine which distributes deposited bills stored in the deposit and withdrawal box as bills for dispensing to dispensing storage sections according to denominations.

``Prior Art'' Conventionally, deposited banknotes are pooled in a temporary storage section and then stored in a deposit/withdrawal box, and the deposited banknotes stored in the deposit/withdrawal box are stored as withdrawal banknotes by denomination. Unexamined Japanese Patent Publication No. 1987-1 was developed as a circulation-type bill depositing and dispensing machine that distributes banknotes to various departments.
The one shown in Publication No. 147791 is known.

In other words, the system described in this bulletin is installed at financial institutions' branches, etc., and uses a single removable deposit/withdrawal box to reduce work at the start and end of business. At the start of business, the mixed banknotes for withdrawal in the deposit/withdrawal box are distributed to the withdrawal storage section for each denomination in the aircraft, and at the end of the business, the bills in the withdrawal storage section for each denomination are distributed to the deposit/withdrawal box. The banknotes are collected and managed.

During business, deposited banknotes are stored in this deposit/withdrawal box, and if there are not enough genuine bills for withdrawal, genuine bills of the missing denomination are collected from the bills in the deposit/withdrawal box. The banknotes of other denominations are then returned and stored in the deposit/withdrawal box.

``Problem to be solved by the invention'' However, among the deposited banknotes, there are many unfit notes that are unsuitable for reuse, and the conventional deposit/withdrawal box is designed to handle the deposited banknotes, including these unfit notes. Because all the tickets were stored in the same box, they ended up being unfit bills and were inevitably subject to distribution processing.This made it less efficient to replenish surplus good bills for withdrawals, and There was a drawback that it was not easy to sort bills into good and unfit bills.

Furthermore, since the surface condition of unfit bills is unstable compared to normal bills, there is a high probability that they will become jammed during transportation during the distribution process.In this case, the jam will be cleared by stopping the device This also resulted in an increase in the amount of complicated work that needed to be done.

Furthermore, since banknotes are loaded into or collected from the device through a single deposit/withdrawal box that is detachable from the machine, the deposit/withdrawal box should be made as light as possible for handling purposes. From this point of view, it is desirable that the deposit/withdrawal box be equipped with only the required minimum amount of mechanisms, and, for example, the mechanism necessary for feeding banknotes be provided on the machine itself. ing.

In other words, like the deposit/withdrawal box for storing banknotes applied to the automatic deposit/dispensing machine described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 58-64586, by attaching it to the machine body, you can deposit and withdraw money into the banknote feeding mechanism of the machine side. There is a technology that eliminates the payout mechanism on the deposit/withdrawal box side and makes the deposit/withdrawal box lighter by connecting the bills in the box and dispensing them. Since any ticket is reused for withdrawal, most of the problems involved in the prior art mentioned above remain unsolved.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and it is possible to store deposited banknotes in a state where they are sorted into good notes and unfit notes in a single deposit/withdrawal box. By providing a mechanism for dispensing gold banknotes on the machine body side, the purpose is to reduce the weight of the deposit/withdrawal box and improve handling.

As described above, the opening/closing lid 50 is unlocked and the presser bar lever 82 is unlocked by operating the opening/closing lid lock release member 89 and the rotating member 86 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. be.

Further, when the above-mentioned opening/closing lid 50 is unlocked, the lid opening/closing portion 133b of the lock release release cam 133 guides the roller 50a fixed to the opening/closing lid 50 to open/close the opening/closing lid 50. It is something.

FIGS. 10A to 10D are front views and cross-sectional views of the deposit/withdrawal box 43, showing only the main components, which have already been described.

In addition, the reference numeral 135 in the figure indicates the deposit/withdrawal box 43.
This is a guide plate that guides the left and right portions of banknotes stored inside.

"Effects of the Embodiments" The effects of the present invention described above are mainly shown in FIGS. 11A to 11F.
The explanation will be based on the respective operation diagrams shown in .

First, when a deposit instruction is given, the shutter 4 shown in FIG. 2 is opened, and the teller loads the banknotes received from the customer into the deposit/withdrawal storage section 3.

Next, when a loading completion instruction is given, the shutter 4 is closed, and the banknotes in the deposit/withdrawal storage section 3 are moved to the payout/accumulation section 5, and then separated one by one and conveyed.

The banknotes separated and conveyed one by one are classified through route 1.
The discriminating unit 11 of 0 determines the authenticity, denomination, front and back, fitness, etc., and the bills that are genuine and can be reused as withdrawal bills (so-called genuine bills) are distributed via the distribution route 13. and transported to the first storage section 22,
Banknotes that are stacked in an upright position and are genuine but unsuitable for reuse as dispensing banknotes due to defacement or the like (so-called unfit banknotes) are similarly conveyed to the second storage section 23 via the distribution route 13. and is accumulated in a standing position.

In addition, counterfeit banknotes that cannot be distinguished from genuine banknotes (banknotes with abnormal conveyance such as double feeding, banknotes that are heavily soiled and unrecognizable, so-called counterfeit banknotes, etc.) are fed out and accumulated via the redirect route 14 and the dispensing route 55. The banknotes are returned to the unit 5, but as described above, they are separated from unrecognized deposited banknotes by a holding piece (not shown) and stacked.

By the way, if the above-mentioned deposit instruction is given,
The deposit/withdrawal box 43 is in a standby state so that banknotes can be stored at any time, and as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 11A, a front plate 44 and a valid bill presser bar 48 are positioned at the center of the deposit/withdrawal box 43.

That is, when a deposit instruction is given, the front plate lock release lever 80 is activated by the operation of a motor (not shown).
rotates clockwise in Figure 5, and along with this rotation,
Engagement roller 75 between front plate lock plate 78 and front plate 44
At the same time, the proper bill presser bar 48 descends to the position shown in FIG. 11A.

At the same time, the temporary holding bar 49 is
It is set to the tilted position shown in .

Next, the driving belt 94 is actuated via the connecting gear 97 by the operation of another motor (not shown), and the genuine bill held between the front plate 44 and the reciprocating plate 45 is integrated into the rear plate 46 side. retreat to.

During this backward movement, the reciprocating plate 45
When the reciprocating plate 45 reaches the 8th position, the reciprocating plate 45 is formed with a notch 45a (see FIG. 10C) that allows the correct bill presser bar 48 to escape, so the reciprocating plate 45 can be further retreated, but the correct Ticket and front plate 44
is prevented from retreating by the genuine bill presser bar 48, and is stopped at that position as shown in FIG. 11A.

When the reciprocating plate 45 further retreats, the synchronizing plate 108 rotates upward as described above, the temporary holding bar 49 is set to the vertical position, and the unfit note holding bar 47 begins to retreat upward, While the unfit note is held between the reciprocating plate 45 and the rear plate 46,
The unfit note holding rod 47 returns to its original position, resulting in the state shown in FIG. 11A.

Note that the reference numerals 136 and 137 shown in FIG. 11A
are holding plates that are rotated and retracted to both sides of the stacking cars 36 and 37 by a mechanism not shown when stacking good and unfit bills, respectively, and as shown in FIG. Rotate toward the storage front plate 40 side,
It is configured to be able to sandwich both side parts of a regular bill in the first storage section 22 and an unfit bill in the second storage section 23.

Therefore, when the deposit/withdrawal box 43 is set to a standby state and a deposit instruction is given after deposited banknotes are accumulated in the first storage section 22 and second storage section 23 by unfit banknotes, normal banknotes and unfit banknotes are , as shown in FIG. 11B, is held between the storage front plate 40 and the presser bars 136, 137.

After this clamping operation, the storage bottom plates 38, 39 (belt 39a) that supported the lower ends of the banknotes when stacking banknotes,
As shown in FIG. 11B, it moves to the distribution route 13 side and retreats.

As shown in FIG. 11C, the correct and unfit bills held between the storage front plate 40 and the holding plates 136 and 137 are moved downward while being held, and the lower part of the storage front plate 40 is moved downward. Only the genuine bills held between the presser plates 136 and the storage opening 6 of the deposit/withdrawal box 43
2, it is loaded between the reciprocating plate 45 and the temporary presser bar 49, and the upper part of the storage front plate 40 and the presser plate 13
The unfit notes held between the first storage section 22 and
They will be forced to move nearby.

At this time, the lower end of the storage front plate 40 is
Temporary holding regulation plate 12 regulating the clamping operation of 9
In order to release the restriction by pressing the release end 128b of 8, the lower part of the loaded genuine bill is temporarily held by the bar 4.
9 presses and holds the reciprocating plate 45 side.

After this downward movement, the storage bottom plates 38, 39 (belt 39a) that had been moved and retreated return to their original positions, and the presser plates 136, 137
It is set to rotate parallel to the storage front plate 40 to release the sandwiched state of the good and unfit bills.

At this time, a guide plate 38 is also provided, which guides the unfit notes moved to the first storage section 22 so that they do not get caught when the pressing plate 136 moves upward.
a is provided on the storage bottom plate 38, and as shown in FIG. 11C, rotates and stands up on the storage front plate 40 side from the position where the pressing plates 136, 137 pass.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11D, the storage front plate 40
When the presser plates 136 and 137 rise to their original positions, the regular bills held between the reciprocating plate 45 and the temporary presser bar 49 are added to the genuine bills that have already been held together.

That is, when the reciprocating plate 45 moves forward in the direction of the front plate 44, contrary to the above, the temporary holding bar 49 moves forward to its original position, and the position detection arm 129 shown in FIG.
rotates and activates a detector (not shown) on the fuselage 1 side. Due to the operation of this detector, the front plate lock release lever 80 rotates counterclockwise in FIG. In addition, the temporary holding bar 49 is retracted to a horizontal position.

As a result, the previously stored regular bills and the newly stored regular bills are stored together, and the reciprocating plate 45 stops after passing the position of the regular bill presser bar 48 toward the front plate 44, and the above-mentioned deposit is made. As in the case where the instruction is given, the valid bill holding bar 48 is lowered to prepare for the unfit bill storage operation.

In the unfit bill storage operation, the reciprocating plate 45 is connected to the good bill presser bar 4.
This is performed when the machine is in the 8th position, and the rest is the same as the normal bill storage operation.

That is, first, the unfit bill that has already been moved to the first storage section 22 is clamped between the storage front plate 40 and the holding plate 136 (the holding plate 137 also performs only the holding operation).

Next, after the storage bottom plates 38, 39 (belt 39a) are moved and retracted, the operation of storing the banknotes into the deposit/withdrawal box 43 begins, and unfit bills are loaded between the reciprocating plate 45 and the unfit note presser bar 47.

At this time, the temporary holding bar 49 is set in an inclined state because the reciprocating plate 45 is at the position of the valid bill holding bar 48, but it does not perform the above-mentioned action during this unfit bill storage operation.

That is, when storing unfit notes, the lower end of the storage front plate 40 is aligned with the release end 12 of the temporary holding regulation plate 128 (see FIG. 8).
8b to lower the locking end 128a and release the locked state of the front edge 113b of the movable plate 113 that supports the temporary holding bar 49. Since it remains stopped at the position, no temporary holding operation is performed.

Next, when loading of unfit notes is completed, the holding plate 13
6 and 137 are set to rotate parallel to the storage front plate 40 to release the unfit note from being held, and the storage bottom plates 38 and 39 (belt 39a) which had been moved and retreated return to their original positions. Then, the storage front plate 40 and the holding plates 136, 137 rise (see FIG. 11F), and then rotate and retreat to the side where they are not affected by the accumulation of banknotes, as shown in FIG. 11A. be done.

On the other hand, the storage front plate 40 and the holding plates 136, 13
7 rises, the reciprocating plate 45 that was at the position of the genuine bill holding bar 48 begins to retreat toward the rear plate 46 side, and further begins to move the unfit bill to the unfit bill holding bar 47 side, and the above-mentioned genuine bill storage Similar to the setting operation of the reciprocating plate 45 at the time, the unfit note presser bar 47 is retracted upward, and the already stored unfit notes and the newly stored unfit notes are combined together.

After that, the reciprocating board 45 further moves the unfit note,
After passing the position of the unfit note presser bar 47, the unfit note presser bar 47 is lowered and the movement of the reciprocating plate 45 is stopped.

When the storage of unfit bills is completed, the reciprocating plate 45 moves forward toward the front plate 44 side, and presses the genuine bill presser bar 48 in the same manner as described above.
is retracted upward, and the temporary holding bar 49 is horizontally rotated and retracted, so that the genuine bill is held between the front plate 44 and the reciprocating plate 45, and in this state, the genuine bill is further advanced toward the feeding opening side. , it returns to the initial state shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

Note that when the valid bill presser bar 48 is retracted upward, the front lock plate 78 is in the state shown in FIG. 5, but the front lock plate 78 and the connecting lever 81
When the front plate 44 moves forward, the engagement roller 75 of the connecting member 74 of the front plate 44 gently pushes down the upper edge of the front lock plate 78.

Therefore, when the front plate 44 is set to the initial position,
It will be automatically locked by the front lock plate 78.

With the above operations, the operation of storing the correct notes and the unfit notes is completed.

Although not particularly related to the gist of the present invention, the withdrawal process, distribution process, initial setting, and end-of-work process will be briefly explained.

When a withdrawal process is performed, bills of the corresponding denomination are dispensed from the dispensing storage units 19 to 21 and conveyed along the dispensing route 55 to the dispensing stacking unit 5. During this process, if a discrimination abnormality is detected in the withdrawal conveyance discrimination unit 56, the money is sent to the discrimination route 10 and the distribution route 13 via the transfer route 58, and returned to the storage units 19 to 21 of the dispensed denomination. .

When all the banknotes accumulated in the dispensing storage section 5 are normal and can be withdrawn, the dispensing banknotes are transferred from the dispensing and accumulating section 5 by a delivery mechanism (not shown).
The money is transferred to the deposit/withdrawal storage section 3, and the shutter 4 is opened so that it can be taken out.

Further, when a distribution instruction is given (automatically or by inputting an instruction), the genuine notes in the deposit/withdrawal box 43 are fed out onto the withdrawal route 55, and further sent to the discrimination route 10 via the transfer route 58. It will be done.

In the discrimination route 10, the discrimination unit 11 discriminates the denomination and the front and back sides, and the front ticket of each denomination is sent to the storage units 19 to 21 for each denomination via the distribution route 13, and the back ticket is stored in the second storage. In the section 23, there are other abnormally transported bills (normal bills with some kind of abnormality and the storage section 19~
21 is full) are distributed and accumulated in the first storage section 22.

In this way, the first storage section 22 and the second storage section 2
Since both of the banknotes No. 3 are genuine bills, the aforementioned genuine bill storage operation during the deposit processing is performed twice before being stored.

Note that by accumulating the back tickets in the second storage section 23, the conveyance direction is reversed and the tickets are treated as front tickets at the next distribution process.

Next, as part of the initial setup process, first of all,
Set genuine bills (front) of each denomination in the genuine bill storage section of the deposit/withdrawal box 43 (between the front plate 44 and the reciprocating plate 45) and attach them to the machine 1 (there is only one bill in the machine 1). (also not accumulated).

Then, when an initial setting instruction is given, a process similar to the distribution process described above is performed, and each storage unit 1
Valid notes are accumulated at 9 to 21, and the transaction becomes possible.

Finally, when the end-of-day processing is instructed, the genuine bills in each withdrawal storage section 19 to 21 are sequentially paid out, and the withdrawal route 55 and transfer route 5
8, all are accumulated in the first storage section 22 via the discrimination route 10 and the distribution route 13.

When a predetermined number of fit notes are accumulated, the fit notes in one storage section 22 are sequentially stored as fit notes in the same way as the above-described fit note storage operation, and all the payout storage sections 19 to 2 are stored as fit notes.
When the valid bills in the banknotes 1 are stored in the deposit/withdrawal box 43, the collection process at the end of the day is completed.

``Effects of the Invention'' As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, by interlocking the reciprocating board and the presser bars for fit and unfit bills, A space is formed between the ticket and the reciprocating plate for receiving a good or unfit note, and this space can be located directly below the storage opening, so that after receiving the good or unfit note, , by moving the reciprocating board forward or backward and retracting the presser bar, the already stored good or unfit bills and the newly stored fit or unfit bills are stored together; Can be done. Therefore, deposited banknotes are sorted into good notes and unfit notes and stored in one box, and the good notes are distributed as bills for withdrawal.
It is stored in the front part of the payout opening side of the deposit/withdrawal box, and when distributing deposited bills for withdrawal, only genuine bills can be distributed, which improves the efficiency of dispensing work compared to conventional methods. This increases the possibility of jamming caused by processing unfit notes, and furthermore, there is no need to sort out unfit notes at the end of the day. In addition, by attaching the deposit/withdrawal box to the machine body, the bills at the front of the box are coupled to the kicking roller, payout roller, and friction separation member provided on the machine body side, and the bills are fed out one by one. Since it can be reused as a deposit/withdrawal machine, the mechanism to be provided on the deposit/withdrawal box side can be reduced to the necessary minimum, making it lightweight and reducing the labor required for maintenance of the deposit/withdrawal machine.
