The present invention is comprised of a dispensing dispensing section to be removed, a dispensing eliminating section to be removed, and a transfer route capable of transferring banknotes from a dispensing route after the discriminating section to a depositing route before the discriminating section.

In the circulating bill depositing and dispensing machine configured as described above, the deposited bills inserted into the deposit input section are conveyed through the deposit route, and are checked according to the classification results of the verification section (if the classification results are normal). The banknotes are sorted into each pool section, and then the banknotes sorted into each pool section are stored in the corresponding stacker section. In addition, the deposited banknotes sorted into each stacker section are transported through the withdrawal route, and depending on the discrimination result of the discrimination section (those whose discrimination result is normal) are conveyed to the withdrawal section. ing.

"Problems to be Solved by the Invention" By the way, the above-mentioned circulating bill depositing and dispensing machine is provided with three stackers and a transfer route that connects the depositing route and the dispensing route. Various withdrawal patterns can be set, and the versatility of the bill depositing and dispensing machine can be increased.

For example, before starting work, load 10,000 and 1,000 coupons into the stacker section, and transfer these 10,000 and 1,000 coupons to the other two stackers via the withdrawal route, transfer route, deposit route, and pool section. It is possible to classify and load the parts. In addition, after the work is completed, the ten-thousand-ten thousand coupons and one-thousand coupons stored in the other two stacker sections are collected into the remaining one stacker section via the withdrawal route, transfer route, deposit route, and pool section, This makes it easy to load and collect banknotes.

However, in the bill depositing and dispensing machine as described above, bills are loaded from one stacker section to the other two stacker sections,
Only the simple operation of collecting banknotes from two stackers into the remaining stacker is possible, and some of these banknotes include unidentifiable banknotes, banknotes that cause running abnormalities (bills with folds, adhesives, etc.) banknotes with tape attached)
When such substances exist, they are handled in various ways, resulting in inefficient work, and there remains room for improvement in this respect.

This invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and when banknotes are loaded and collected, there are unidentifiable banknotes (including counterfeit banknotes), running abnormalities (double feeding, diagonal banknotes), Banknotes (bills that are folded,

The banknotes are comprised of a withdrawal dispensing section for dispensing and dispensing bills, a dispensing removal section for eliminating bills, and a transfer route capable of transferring banknotes from a dispensing route after the discriminating section to a depositing route before the discriminating section. A circulating bill depositing and dispensing machine, in which bills fed out from one of the three stacker sections,
While transporting the banknotes through the withdrawal route, transfer route, and deposit route, the banknotes are transferred to the other two stacker units while confirming the denomination and number of banknotes based on the classification result of the verification unit of the deposit route. While it is distributed and stored by denomination,
Delivered banknotes for which the verification results of the verification department were not obtained correctly are
After being collected by the one stacker unit from which the banknotes are delivered, the banknotes are distributed again, and during the second distribution operation, the conveyed banknotes for which the validation result of the validation unit was not correctly obtained are transferred to the deposit removal unit. The automatic loading function controls the banknotes to be removed, and the banknotes fed out from two of the three stacker units are conveyed through the withdrawal route, the transfer route, and the deposit route. Based on the discrimination result of the discrimination section or the discrimination result of the discrimination section of the deposit route, the denomination and number of the conveyed banknotes are confirmed and collected into the remaining one star/soca section. The controller includes a control unit having an automatic collecting machine function that causes the transported banknotes for which a normal discrimination result of the banknotes has not been obtained to be collected by one of the two stacker units from which they are fed out, and then performs the collecting operation again. I'm trying to make you do it.

(2) In the automatic loading function of the circulating bill depositing and dispensing machine shown in (1) above, the determination section of the dispensing route determines whether there is any running abnormality in the transported banknotes, and if a running abnormality is detected, the A first running abnormal banknote removal function is further provided to remove banknotes from the payout route to the payout/dispensing unit.

(3) The automatic loading function of the circulating bill depositing and dispensing machine shown in (1) or (2) above re-injects the unidentifiable banknotes rejected by the deposit removal section from the deposit input section and conveys the deposit route.

In addition, in parallel with such bill distribution processing (loading processing) and collection processing, it is possible to check the loaded amount of banknotes and the collected amount, respectively, and the machine You can reliably manage the amount by denomination, total amount, etc.

In addition, during the distribution process, the conveyed banknotes for which the discrimination result of the discrimination section was not obtained normally are collected by one stacker section from which they are dispensed, and then distributed again, and finally rejected by the deposit removal section. On the other hand, after collecting the transported banknotes for which the discrimination result of the discrimination unit and/or the discrimination result of the discrimination unit was not normally obtained during the collection process, into one of the two stacker units from which they were fed, Operate the collection again,
Since the system ultimately sends the banknotes to the original two stackers, if there are bad banknotes such as unidentifiable banknotes or unidentifiable banknotes (including counterfeit banknotes), these banknotes can be transferred to other normal banknotes. It is possible to classify and exclude banknotes from banknotes.

According to the second invention, during the distribution process, abnormally running banknotes (double fed bills, diagonal fed bills, close fed bills caused by defective bills such as folded bills, adhesive or tape attached) ) can be removed to a dispensing and dispensing section different from the unidentifiable banknotes that are ultimately rejected by the depositing and dispensing section.

According to the third invention, the unidentifiable banknotes rejected by the deposit removal unit can be re-injected from the deposit input unit and transported along the deposit route, thereby making it possible to perform the distribution operation again and again.

According to the fourth invention, similarly to the third invention, the abnormally running banknotes that have been rejected into the dispensing and dispensing section are re-injected from the depositing input section and conveyed through the depositing route, thereby making it possible to perform the dispensing operation again and again. can do.

The first gate 1o is configured to be switched by a gate solenoid 22, and
As a result of the discrimination by the deposited money discrimination section 9, if the bill is a 10,000-note bill, etc., the bill is transferred from the deposit route 4 to the first gate 1o.
into the l-th pool section 23 located below. Further, the second gate 11, like the first gate 1o, is configured to be operated by the gate lenoid 24, and as a result of the discrimination by the deposit discrimination section 9, the banknote When the banknote is a 1,000-note banknote, the banknote is sent from the deposit route 4 to the second pool section 25 located below the second gate l1.

The third gate 1-12, like the first gate 10 and the second gate 11, is configured to be switched by a gate solenoid 26, and for example, the third gate 1-12 is configured to be operated by a gate solenoid 26. 23. The switching operation is performed when banknotes overflow from the second pool section 25, when banknotes overflow from the ten thousand note stacker 35 and the thousand note stacker 36, etc.

The deposit removal section 13 receives banknotes that have not been classified by the gates 10 to 12, that is, it receives banknotes that have been classified as unidentifiable banknotes (including counterfeit banknotes) based on the classification results of the deposit discrimination section 9. These unidentifiable banknotes are taken out to the teller through a removal port 28 provided on the front side of the main body 1 of the apparatus.

Next, to explain each of the pool parts 23, 25, 27, there is a gate 23A at the bottom of each pool part 23, 25, 27 that supports the banknotes sorted into these pool parts 23, 25, 27 from below.・25A and 27A are provided. These gates 23A, 25A, and 27A are each opened and closed by a pool gate opening/closing motor 30.

Further, when the gates 23A, 25A, and 27A are closed, this closed state is maintained by a boolean gate opening solenoid 31.

On the other hand, in the pool parts 23, 25, 27, the pool parts 23, 25, 27 are collectively placed on the front side where the teller is.
As shown by the two-dot chain line, a slide mechanism (not shown) for pulling out is provided. In addition, the pool parts 23, 25, and 27 are pulled out manually by Teller himself using this slide mechanism, and when the pool parts 23, 25, and 27 are inserted into the main body of the device as shown by the solid line, The positions of the pool portions 23, 25, and 27 are held by a pool portion opening renoid 32.

Next, the 10,000-note stacker 35, 1000-note stacker 36, and deposit stacker 37 located below the pool sections 23, 25, and 27, respectively, will be explained.

The ten-thousand-ticket stacker 35 and the one-thousand-ticket stacker 36 have the same structure, and have storage sections 35A and 3 that store the ten-thousand coupons and dry tickets inserted through the pool sections 23 and 25, respectively.
6A, and inside each of the storage sections 35A and 36A, there are mounting plates 35B-36B that move up and down while maintaining a horizontal state, and on which 10,000 and 1,000 tickets are placed, and a horizontal axis. 35a・
A bill press member 35c is rotatable by a little more than 90 degrees in the clockwise direction as shown in the figure around 36a, is swingably supported by the rotating tip portions 35b and 36b, and presses the banknotes on the placement plates 35B and 36B.・It is composed of 36c.

In addition, at the lower part of the storage portions 35A and 36A, there are payout rollers 38 and 39 for feeding out the banknotes placed on the placement plates 35B and 36B, and kicking rollers 38a and 38a.
39a is provided. These feeding rollers 38・
39 and kickouts 38a and 39a are the aforementioned placement plate 35B.

(1) If any of the first pool section 23, second pool section 25, and third pool section 27 becomes full while the distribution process is being performed, the distribution process will be temporarily stopped. interrupted, and this first pool section 23, second pool section 25,
The banknotes in the third pool section 27 are transferred to the lower stackers 35 to 3.
7 (same as the process based on the storage instruction ■).

(ii) Through the process (1) above in which the banknotes in the third pool section 27 are stored in the stacker 37, the banknotes are determined to be unidentifiable banknotes (including counterfeit banknotes) by the deposit recognition unit 9 of the deposit route 4. The conveyed banknotes are collected by the stacker 37 from which they are fed.

Then, after the distribution process has completed one round, that is, the above (-)
Immediately before performing the storage process, it is determined that the distribution process has completed on the condition that there are no bills in the stacker 37, and after this, the distribution operation is performed again, and during the distribution operation again, the deposit of the deposit route 4 is In the discriminating section 9, the transported banknotes that are again determined to be undistinguishable banknotes are caused to be discarded by the deposit removal section 13 (by the automatic loading function of the control section 104: see claim 1).

Note that the process (2) is performed to improve the loading efficiency of paper sorting, and also allows the teller himself to confirm the banknotes that have been determined to be unidentifiable banknotes again.

(3) The dispensing determining unit 57 of the dispensing route 5 determines whether or not there is any running abnormality in the conveyed banknotes, and if a running abnormality is detected, the dispensing banknotes are transferred from the dispensing route 5 to the dispensing dispensing unit 3. (According to the first running abnormal banknote removal function of the control unit 104: see claim 2).

In addition, in the process (3), even if abnormally running banknotes are fed out and returned to the stacker 37 from which they came, there is no guarantee that the banknotes will be stacked in a manner that ensures re-addressing. It was designed to be excluded. and,
In this case, since the banknotes are removed to the dispensing unit 3 different from the deposit removal unit l3, it is possible to distinguish between unidentifiable banknotes and banknotes with running abnormality, and to determine the cause of the determination as running abnormality, for example, whether the banknote is folded or not. Teller himself checked whether there was any adhesive or tape attached.
You can check it yourself.

(4) The unidentifiable banknotes rejected by the deposit rejecting section 13 described in (2) above are fed again and again by the teller from the deposit reject section 2, conveyed along the deposit route 4, and distributed again. Through such re-distribution processing, banknotes that have become unidentifiable again and again are finally sent to the deposit removal unit 13 (by the first rejected banknote loading function of the control unit 104: Claims (See 3).

In addition, such processing (4) is to increase the loading efficiency of banknotes by causing the deposit removal unit 13 to distribute the rejected banknotes that cannot be identified again and again.

(5) The teller causes the teller to re-inject the abnormally running banknotes rejected by the dispensing and dispensing section 3 described in (3) above from the depositing section 2 and transporting them through the depositing route 4 to perform the distribution process again. . Through such redistribution processing, the banknotes that have run abnormally again are finally sent to the deposit removal unit l3 (based on the second rejected banknote loading function of the control unit 104: Claim 4) reference).

Note that, similar to (4), the process (5) is to cause the dispensing and dispensing unit 3 to perform a redistribution operation on the abnormally running banknotes rejected, thereby increasing the banknote loading efficiency.

(6) Collection command (■) This is a command to collect the ten-thousand-tickets and one-thousand-tickets in the ten-thousand-ticket stacker 35 and one-thousand-ticket stacker 36 into the storage section 37A of the deposit stacker 37.

Specifically, after the business is finished, the ten thousand coupons and thousand coupons stored in the ten thousand coupon stacker 35 and one thousand coupon stacker 36 are transferred from the withdrawal route 5 → gate 59 → connecting conveyance path 67 → deposit route 4 → third Through the gate 12, the metal is transported to the storage section 37A of the depositing stanoka 37. In other words, by operating the gate solenoids 22, 24, and 26, the gate 10 and
1l and 12 are switched to automatically control so that all the banknotes being conveyed are guided to the pool section 27.

In addition, in such a collection process, the denomination and number of transported banknotes are detected based on the determination result of the withdrawal discriminating section 57 of the dispensing route 5 or the discriminating result of the deposit discriminating section 9 of the deposit route 4. The detection result is displayed on a display section (not shown) (depending on the automatic collection function of the control section 104; see claim 1).

After issuing such a collection command (■) and collecting ten thousand notes and thousand notes in the deposit stacker 37, take out the deposit stacker 37 from the main body l of the device and move the banknotes in the storage section 37A to a safe or the like. become.

Note that the following processes (1) to (4) can also be performed in accordance with the collection command (2).

(1) During the collection process, the third pool section 2
7 is full, the collection process is temporarily interrupted and the banknotes in the third pool part 27 of the bracket are transferred to the lower stacker 3.
7 (same as the process based on the storage instruction ■).

(2) Unidentifiable banknotes and unidentifiable banknotes for which the classification results and classification results were not normally obtained based on the classification results of the withdrawal discriminating section 57 of the withdrawal route 5 or the discriminating results of the deposit discriminating section 9 of the deposit route 4 (including counterfeit bills) are collected by either the 1,000-note stacker 35 or the 1,000-note stacker 36 from which they were dispensed.

After the collection process has completed one cycle, the collection operation is performed again, and the banknotes that have been determined to be unidentifiable banknotes or unidentifiable banknotes are collected by either the ten thousand note stacker 35 or the ten thousand note stacker 36 from which they were dispensed (control unit 104 (see claim 1).

It should be noted that the process (2) is performed in order to improve the efficiency of collecting banknotes.

(3) The dispensing determining unit 57 of the dispensing route 5 determines whether there is any running abnormality in the transported banknotes, and if a running abnormality is detected, the dispensing banknotes are removed from the dispensing route 5 to the dispensing removal unit 6l. (Second running abnormal banknote removal function of the control unit 104: see claim 5).

Note that the process (2) is characterized in that abnormally running banknotes that are being automatically collected are removed to the withdrawal removal section.
This is to directly separate banknotes whose collection and stacking into the stacker 37 cannot be ensured.

(4) Through the processing in (2) above, the unidentifiable banknotes or indistinguishable banknotes collected in the stackers 35 and 36 from which they are fed out are fed out from these stackers 35 and 36 again and again, and the dispensing removal unit 61 (abnormal banknote removal function of the control unit 104: see claim 6).

In addition, in the process (4), the banknotes fed out as unidentifiable banknotes or unidentifiable banknotes during automatic collection and collected in the original stackers 35 and 36 are transferred to the stackers 35 and 36.
36 to the dispensing removal unit 6l, unidentifiable banknotes or unidentifiable banknotes are reliably distinguished from normal banknotes and abnormally running banknotes.

In addition, in the collection processing, the classification of banknotes to the payout source stackers 35 and 36 at the time of the first and second collection processing is based on the classification result of the deposit classification section 9 and the classification result of the withdrawal classification section 57. Although the classification is performed based on both, it is also possible to classify only based on the determination result of the withdrawal determination section 57. In this embodiment, since the banknotes distributed outside in the collection process are directly transferred to people, double checks are performed and the banknotes are strictly managed.

"Effects of the Invention" As explained in detail above, according to the automatic loading function and automatic collection function shown in the first invention, the classification results of the classification section were not obtained correctly during the dispensing process (loading process). After the conveyed banknotes are collected by one stacker unit from which they are fed out, they are distributed again and finally rejected by the deposit removal unit.Meanwhile, during the collection process, the discrimination results of the discrimination unit and/or the discrimination unit After the conveyed banknotes for which a normal identification result was not obtained are collected by one of the two original stackers, the banknotes are collected again and finally sent to the original two stackers. When there are defective banknotes such as unidentifiable banknotes, unidentifiable banknotes, and counterfeit banknotes among the banknotes, these banknotes can be efficiently sorted and removed from the normal banknotes in the bank. It will be done.

According to the first running banknote removal function shown in the second invention, during the distribution process, double feeding caused by abnormal running banknotes (defective banknotes such as folded banknotes, adhesives, tapes, etc.) Because it is possible to remove bills (bills, diagonally fed bills, proximity fed bills) to a dispensing and dispensing section that is different from unidentifiable banknotes that are ultimately rejected by the depositing and discharging section, it is possible to identify the cause of the abnormality in running, such as bills. The teller can visually confirm whether there are any bends or whether there is any adhesive or tape attached.

According to the first rejected banknote loading function shown in the third invention, the unidentifiable banknotes rejected by the deposit rejection unit are re-injected from the human money input unit and conveyed through the deposit route, making it possible to perform the distribution operation again and again. As a result, it is possible to obtain the effect of increasing bill loading efficiency.

According to the second rejected banknote loading function shown in the fourth invention, similarly to the third invention, the abnormally running banknotes that have been rejected to the payout/output unit are redirected from the deposit input unit to be conveyed along the deposit route. Since the dispensing operation can be performed again and again, it is possible to obtain the effect of increasing the bill loading efficiency, similar to the third invention.

According to the second running abnormal banknote removal function shown in the fifth invention, during the collection process, running abnormal banknotes can be removed to a dispensing unit different from normal banknotes, unidentifiable banknotes, and unidentifiable banknotes. The teller himself/herself can visually confirm the cause of the abnormal running, such as the presence or absence of folded bills or the presence or absence of adhesive or tape.

According to the abnormal banknote removal function shown in the sixth invention, during the collection process, unidentifiable banknotes or unidentifiable banknotes collected in the stacker unit from which they were fed are removed from the stacker unit to the dispensing unit. Therefore, when there are defective banknotes such as unidentifiable banknotes and unidentifiable banknotes (counterfeit banknotes) among the banknotes, these banknotes can be efficiently classified and excluded from other normal banknotes and abnormally running banknotes. You can get the effect that you can do it.
