Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION "Field of Industrial Application" The present invention can be used to accept and dispense cash when operated by a customer at a branch of a financial institution or by a teller inside a counter of a financial institution. This relates to the bill depositing and dispensing machine used.

"Conventional technology" In recent years, with the aim of saving labor at financial institutions, bill depositing and dispensing machines that are capable of processing both deposits and withdrawals, as well as incorporating numerous functions incidental to deposit and withdrawal processing, have become popular. There is a tendency to In addition, in the above-mentioned bill depositing and dispensing machine, it is possible to store as much deposited and withdrawn bills as possible in the machine, and it is necessary to perform operations such as replenishing dispensed bills and collecting deposited bills. There is a desire to reduce labor as much as possible.

However, if a bill depositing and dispensing machine is designed to meet all of the above requirements, it will inevitably become larger and more complex, which will cause problems in terms of making effective use of the space inside a financial institution's storefront or counter. be.

As a conventional bill depositing and dispensing machine, JP-A-57-211666
The one described in the publication No. 1 is known.

In this conventional example, when banknotes are placed on the placement plate, each of the inserted banknotes is separated and conveyed for identification, and only the banknotes that are determined to be unidentifiable are returned to the placement plate again. It is done like this. In this device, a partition plate is made to protrude above the inserted banknotes in order to distinguish the banknotes from the inserted banknotes when returning the banknotes.

Furthermore, another conventional example of a bill depositing and dispensing machine is described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 72592/1983.

In order to facilitate the insertion, removal, and return of banknotes, this device has a customer service section in only one location. It also functions as a single-bill separation unit for sending out bills to the bank, and also serves as a banknote separating unit for bills that are determined to be unacceptable during deposit counting and should be returned, or for bills that are fed out while being counted at the time of withdrawal and temporarily stored in an accumulated state. It is configured to accept banknotes.

``Problems to be Solved by the Invention'' However, in the former conventional example, the return section is not used as a collection section when withdrawing money, and for the purpose of simplifying the configuration, a collection vehicle is not used. Since the purpose is to stack banknotes, it is difficult to stack the banknotes to be returned in an aligned state. Furthermore, since it is necessary to provide a separate stacking section in order to stack them in an aligned state, there is a problem in that the overall size of the device is unavoidable.

On the other hand, in the latter conventional example, it is possible to separate and feed out the deposited banknotes one by one that have been inserted into the customer service department, and when the banknotes are recognized while being fed out, it is possible to return the banknotes without being recognized as genuine banknotes. The banknotes stored in the banknotes are temporarily stored in an array in a separate location from the customer service department, and after all the banknotes in the customer service department have been distinguished, the banknotes in the temporary storage unit are left in the stacked state until the banknotes are stored in the customer service department. However, there is a problem in that a temporary storage section for returned banknotes or a transport path to transport the banknotes from this temporary storage section to the customer service area is required, and these take up a large amount of space inside the aircraft. .

The present invention was proposed in view of the above circumstances, and
The deposited banknotes can be separated and fed out one by one at the transaction port, which is the point of contact for receiving and receiving banknotes with the user, and during the feeding, banknotes determined to be unacceptable are deposited into the transaction port. The banknotes can be sent in a separated state, and the banknotes can also be collected, reducing the size of the transaction opening.
The purpose of this is to make effective use of the space inside the cash deposit/withdrawal machine.

"Means for Solving the Problems" In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a mounting plate on which banknotes to be deposited or banknotes to be withdrawn are accumulated in an inclined state, and a lower side of the mounting plate. a front plate provided at an end with a space for bill passage between the upper surface of the placing plate and abutting against and aligning the end face of the accumulated banknotes on the placing plate; and the front plate and the above-mentioned. An opening/closing gate that opens and closes the space for inserting accumulated banknotes between the banknote depositing and dispensing machine, and the banknotes sent from the conveyance path inside the banknote depositing and dispensing machine are received above the banknote plate and fall onto the banknote board. a stacking car that applies a frictional force to the lower surface of the stacked banknotes on a placement plate to pull out the banknotes one by one in a surface direction; and a banknote payout mechanism that determines whether or not the banknotes fed from the banknote feedout mechanism can be accepted. It is comprised of a discrimination route in which banknotes are conveyed while carrying the bill, and a dispensing route in which banknotes determined as unacceptable on the discrimination route are sent to the collection vehicle. A partition plate that covers at least a portion of the upper surface of the stacked banknotes on the placement plate and presses toward the placement plate can freely come out and retract from the front plate side, provided that the banknote insertion space is open. The opening/closing gate rotates around an axis to open and close the space between the two, and the partition plate rotates around the same axis as the opening/closing gate to connect the stacking car and the loading plate. and is supported by the shaft with a space between it and the opening/closing gate in the rotational direction, and the bill feeding mechanism is connected to the mounting plate through a notch provided in the mounting plate. It has a kicking roller that protrudes upward to contact the lower surface of the stacked banknotes and apply a frictional force to the banknotes, and the partition plate has a length that allows the stacked banknotes to be held between the kicking roller and the kicking roller. This is a configuration having the following.

"Operation" With the above configuration, by placing the deposited banknote on the placement plate and opening the opening/closing gate, the partition plate covers a part of the deposited banknote and presses the deposited banknote on the placement plate to feed out the bottom surface of the banknote. It can be pressed against rollers and fed into the machine one by one. In addition, banknotes that are sent into the aircraft and determined to be non-depositable are received by the collection vehicle via the withdrawal route, and then
As mentioned above, the deposited banknotes fall onto the partition plate that partially covers them. On the other hand, when withdrawing money, the opening/closing gate is closed and the partition plate is evacuated in conjunction with this, and then the banknotes stored in the aircraft are sent to the collection vehicle via the withdrawal route. , it is possible to directly stack the disbursed banknotes on the placement plate via this stacking car.

On the other hand, when withdrawing money, after closing the opening/closing gate and retracting the partition plate in conjunction with this,
Banknotes stored in the machine can be sent to a collection vehicle via a dispensing route, and disbursed banknotes can be directly stacked on a placement board via this collection vehicle. Not only can the two functions of accumulating banknotes during deposits and withdrawals be integrated, but also the temporary storage of unacceptable banknotes that occur during the banknote deposit process can be done using the above-mentioned mounting board. By making use of the space above, it is possible to prevent unacceptable banknotes from being mixed in with the deposited banknotes on the placement plate, and by using a single placement plate, deposits and withdrawals necessary for customer service can be carried out. Perform both processes,
In order to make effective use of the space inside the banknote deposit/withdrawal machine,
This has the effect of increasing the banknote storage capacity by reducing the size of the aircraft or by making effective use of space inside the aircraft.
