Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a device from being damaged by a coin thrown in erroneously by providing a projection so as to provide a gap thinner than that of the coin and wider than the thickness of a banknote in a note guide having the gap wider than the thickness of the coin. CONSTITUTION:The coin 15 slipped in with an input note 1 thrown into a hopper 2 is sent to upper and lower carrier guides 12, 13 when the note 1 is separated and carried sequentially. The coin 15 is abutted with the projection 14 attached on the lower carrier guide 13, and is separated leftward or rightward. At this time, since the gap (t) between the projection 14 and the upper carrier guide 12 is formed narrower than the thickness tc of the coin 15, it is impossible to pass the coin through the gap (t), and also, since the shape of the projection 14 at the rushing side of the note 1 is formed in spherical shape, detaining on the projection does not occur, and sandwiching between the projection 14 and the upper carrier guide 12 can be evaded. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the inside of the device from being damaged or the jamming of the note from occurring.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to automated teller machines, typically banknote depositing and dispensing machines, and in particular, the present invention relates to automated teller machines such as banknote depositing and dispensing machines, and in particular, to the automatic teller machines installed in banks and the like. The present invention relates to means for preventing damage to the inside of the device and bill jams caused by foreign objects other than banknotes, especially coins.

[Conventional technology]

In general, this type of banknote transaction device is designed to prevent foreign objects such as coins from entering banknotes.
-203140, a gap is provided in the bottom plate of the deposit slot where the banknotes and the receiver are held in the direction of gravity to allow foreign objects to fall.
In addition, there is a method of vibrating the inserted banknotes to make it easier for the foreign objects to fall, and a method of vibrating the inserted banknotes to make it easier for the foreign objects to fall. In order to eliminate the need for a roller (right above the roller that separates the banknotes), a method has been adopted in which the position of the deposit slot for receiving the banknotes is movable.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional technology described above, even if the bill is vibrated, the foreign object trapped in the bill will be caught by the bending of the bill. Due to constraints such as demands for miniaturization, it is not possible to completely drop foreign objects through the gap in the bottom plate, and if the deposit port is configured to be movable in order to completely remove foreign objects, the device becomes complicated and large. However, there was a problem in that the cost also increased.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problem by limiting the foreign objects to coins that occur most frequently, and to provide a small and inexpensive structure for removing coins that have been mistakenly inserted together with banknotes from the apparatus.

[Means for solving division problems]

In order to achieve the above purpose, the deposited banknotes will be divided into s,
In an automatic teller machine having a bill dispensing section that conveys ia, a bill guide having a gap wider than the thickness of the coin is provided in the discharging path for conveying the bill, and a bill guide having a gap narrower than the thickness of the coin and The protrusions are provided so that the gap is wider than the thickness of the banknote.

[Effect]

If a coin is mistakenly inserted together with a banknote, the coin transported into the banknote guide will not be able to pass through the gap between the protrusion added to the guide and the banknote guide because the gap is narrower than the thickness of the coin. However, it is possible to bounce coins in the left and right directions using the protrusions, and it is possible to move coins in any direction. The gap is wider than the thickness of the banknote, and by making the side of the heavy construction protrusion into which the banknote enters into a spherical shape, it is possible to feed the banknote without damaging it.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the deposited banknote separation and (to) feeding mechanism of the automatic banknote withdrawal device. After the banknotes 1 to be deposited are put into a hopper 2, they are intermittently conveyed by a pick-up roller 3. tj, are separated one by one by the overlapping feed roller 4 and non-rotating gate roller 5, and then sequentially transferred to the pinch roller 6 and the feed roller 4. Conveyance roller 7.].

7b, and conveyed downstream by conveyor path belts 8α and 8b. The pickup roller 3, the feed roller 4, and the conveyance roller 7α are given a shuddering force by the same driving source (motor) not shown, and the pinch roller 6 and the conveyance roller 7b are driven to rotate, and the feed roller 4 is , are pressed against the conveyance roller 7α by springs 10 and 11 with appropriate pressure, and the gate roller 5 is also positioned by the spring 9, so even if a coin is caught between the rollers, , the gate roller 5, the pinch roller 6, and the transport roller 7b can be retracted, and the structure is such that the coins can be transported downstream.

In addition, the banknote transport route from the pinch roller 6 to the transport bell 1-8 includes a genuine banknote guide 12 and a genuine banknote guide 13.
A certain gap 1? jJth, this gap th is wider than the thickness tc of the coin, and the gap between the hemispherical protrusion 814 added to the genuine banknote guide and the genuine banknote guide 12 is wider than the knob thickness tb of the banknote, and the gap th is wider than the thickness tc of the coin. The thickness is narrower than tc.

This embodiment is an example in which the protrusion 14 is arranged to prevent coins 15 that have been erroneously inserted into the hopper 2 from getting caught in the conveyor belt 8. This is to prevent the belt from breaking at the bent portion of the belt and from jamming the banknotes being conveyed.

The operation of this embodiment will be explained below.

15 coins slipped into deposit coin 1 put into hopper 2
As the deposited banknotes 1 are conveyed sequentially, they are sent between the upper and lower conveyance guides 1.2 and 1.3. This coin]
5 hits a protrusion 14 added to the lower conveyance guide 13 and is distributed to the left and right. At this time, the protrusion 14 and the lower conveyance guide 1
As mentioned above, the gap between the coin 15 and the coin 2 is narrower than the thickness tc of the coin 15, so it is impossible to pass through this gap, and the shape of the protrusion 14 on the banknote insertion side (upper side in the figure) is spherical. For.

This protrusion does not go up, and it is possible to avoid the gap between the protrusion 814 and the lower conveyance guide 12.

The movement of the coin 15 will be explained in more detail with reference to FIG.

Nine coins 15 are carried into the conveyance guide 12.13 from position α.
α does not swing onto the protrusion 14, but falls toward F in the direction of F.

Coin 15 carried in the mouse transport guide 12.13 from the position
b is repelled by the protrusions 14α and 14b and guided in the direction B.

Coin 15 carried into conveyance guide 12.13 from position C
After c is repelled by the protrusion 14α, it is guided in the C direction by the conveyance roller rough.

Coin 15 carried into conveyance guide 12.13 from position d
d does not touch the protrusion 14, but falls straight down in the direction D by the transport roller rough.

Coin 1 carried into conveyance guide 12.13 from position "le"
5e is repelled by the protrusions 14c and 14d and guided in the E direction.

As described above, in any case, the incorrectly inserted coins 15 are guided to a position where they are not caught in the conveyor belt 8, fall downward from between the conveyor belts 8, are stored in the coin receiver 16, and are billet banknotes. It is possible to remove coins from the transport route.

In this embodiment, the protrusions 14 are arranged so that the coins 15 do not get caught in the conveyor belt 8, but by changing the arrangement of the protrusions 14 depending on the purpose, it is possible to guide the coins 15 in any direction. It is clear that.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, by adding one or more protrusions such that the gap is wider than the thickness of the bill and narrower than the thickness of the coin to the guide having a gap wider than the thickness of the coin, the guide can be fed into the guide. It is possible to guide incoming coins in any direction, and it is possible to remove erroneously inserted coins from the banknote conveyance route. This has the effect of preventing damage to the inside of the device and jamming of banknotes.
