Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to an automatic currency transaction device, such as an automatic deposit machine, that has both a deposit function and a withdrawal function.

(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.

Conventionally, with this type of device, 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. In the past, each safe section had become independent.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in the conventional configuration,
There are several thousand banknotes for each denomination in the machine during operation, and there are also several thousand banknotes that have been deposited into the machine. This results in the same result as a large amount of banknotes being unnecessarily idle in the device, and not only is the efficiency of banknote usage extremely poor, but also the banknote set at the start of the device's operation and the banknotes at the end of the operation. The problem is that the burden of sorting things out is heavy.

The present invention has been made based on the above circumstances, and its purpose is to enable deposited banknotes to be used as withdrawal banknotes, to minimize the total number of banknotes in the device, and to It is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic currency transaction device that can increase the efficiency of using banknotes and reduce the burden of storing and organizing banknotes at the start and end of operation.

[Structure of the Invention] (Methods for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a banknote inspection device that inspects banknotes for deposit that are inserted in bulk, and A temporary accumulation unit for depositing genuine banknotes that separates banknotes for deposit into regular and rejected banknotes based on the inspection results of the inspection device, and temporarily accumulating genuine banknotes for withdrawal by denomination. There is a collection warehouse for collecting unsuitable genuine notes, and banknotes for withdrawal are stored in a banknote storage chamber, and the banknotes in the banknote storage chamber are taken out one by one by a take-out device and are withdrawn banknotes. A banknote inspection device for inspecting banknotes, and a banknote inspection device for dispensing banknotes based on the inspection results of the banknote inspection device, which temporarily accumulates rejected banknotes such as overlapping them with genuine notes and sorted genuine notes at the time of withdrawal. a temporary accumulation section and a collection warehouse for collecting rejected banknotes, a conveying means for conveying the banknotes for withdrawal accumulated in the temporary accumulation section to the withdrawal port, and a temporary accumulation section for regular banknotes at the time of deposit. and a transfer device that transfers banknotes for withdrawal that have been deposited into the banknote storage room of the safe section where banknotes for withdrawal of the same denomination are stored, and the banknotes that have been deposited are The system is configured to allow the banknotes to be used as withdrawal banknotes and to collect deposit banknotes that are unsuitable for withdrawal use.

(Function) That is, since the present invention has the above configuration, a deposited bank note can be used as a bank note for withdrawal. This makes it possible to reduce the total number of banknotes in the device as much as possible, increase the efficiency of banknote use, and reduce the burden of storing and organizing banknotes at the start and end of operation.

Further, it is possible to collect banknotes for deposits that are inappropriate for use in withdrawals. This makes it possible to prevent extremely dirty, torn, or folded banknotes from being used as banknotes for withdrawal, which may affect the withdrawal process.

Next, based on Figure 3 and Figure 4,
Temporary accumulation sections 25, 26, 2 of banknote processing section 10
Banknotes P... accumulated in 7, 28 are arranged by an arrangement device 5.
4 will be explained. That is, the temporary accumulation parts 25, 2
6, 27, and 28, banknotes P... are stacked in an inclined state with one end in the width direction being the lower end of the slope, and arrangement plates 78a and 78b are arranged opposite to both ends in the length direction, respectively. ing. These assortment plates 78a..., 78b... are for both the left and right frames 7.
It faces the temporary accumulation parts 25, 26, 27, 28 through the opening windows 81 formed in the parts 9, 80, and has a structure in which the lower ends of these parts are fixed to the shafts 82, 82. The shaft 82,
82 is rotatably supported at both ends by bearing devices 83, 83, and is repeatedly rotated in both forward and reverse directions by a mechanism to be described later, thereby rocking the assortment plates 78a..., 78b... It has become possible to move. That is, an arm 84 is attached to one end of one shaft 82, and the free end of this arm 84 is connected via a link 85 to an eccentric rotating portion of an eccentric cam 87 that rotates using a motor 86 as a drive source. , the rotational movement of the motor 86 is converted into a repetitive rotational movement of the shaft 82. Further, an arm 8 is provided at the rear end of one shaft 82 and the rear end of the other shaft 82, respectively.
8 are attached, and the free ends of these arms 88, 88 are connected to each other by a connecting rod 89, so that the repetitive rotational movement of one shaft 82 is transmitted to the other shaft 82 and rotates simultaneously. I'm starting to do that. When the motor 86 is driven, the assortment plates 78a and 78b simultaneously swing as shown in FIG. Both longitudinal end surfaces of the bank notes P along the take-out direction are aligned.

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, 68 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 that receives the banknotes P in a bundle state through the carryout mechanism 55 in an oriented state is a pair of receivers having a U-shaped cross section that supports both ends of the banknotes P in the longitudinal direction. It is composed of metal fittings 90, 90. These receiving fittings 90, 90 are each attached via a holder 91 to a vertically movable block 94 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 as to be reciprocally movable 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 horizontally movable block 98b is connected to the middle part of the second timing belt 103 which is stretched parallel to the first timing belt 101 via driven pulleys 102, 102 (only one shown). It has become a state of being. moreover,
These first and second timing belts 101,1
The driven pulleys 100, 102 on which 03 is stretched
are attached to both ends of a rotating shaft 104 that is rotatably supported by a bearing device (not shown) so that they 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 move simultaneously at the same speed and in the same direction, thereby causing the banknote holding mechanisms 96a and 96b to move simultaneously. The first and second horizontally movable blocks 98a and 98b mounted thereon 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 backup body 7 that presses ... in the removal direction side
2 is installed. The backup mechanism 107 is connected to the holder 10.
a guide shaft 109 provided parallel to and perpendicular to the lead screw 1 through the guide shaft 109;
The back up body 72 is attached to a vertically movable block 111 which is held movable up and down by a motor 10, and when the lead screw 110 is driven in the forward or reverse direction by the motor 112, 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 metal fittings 90, 90 forming the receiving openings 62 of the banknote holding mechanisms 96a, 96b, which are in advance 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 horizontal movable blocks 98a, 98b equipped with the bank note holding mechanisms 96a, 96b are moved.
move forward at the same time, transfer the held banknotes P to the back side of the banknote storage chamber 66, and transfer the held banknotes P into the banknote storage chamber 66 with the end faces on the moving direction side of the receiving fittings 90, 90, as shown in FIG. 6B. The banknotes P stored in the banknotes P are pressed against the back side, that is, at both ends in the longitudinal direction in the direction opposite to the withdrawal direction. At this time, the receiving metal fittings 90, 90
With the pressing operation, the accumulation pressure of the banknotes P stored in the banknote storage chamber 66 increases, and the pressure detection switch 118 installed in parallel with the ejection pressure detection switch 73 is turned on, and the banknotes are held. 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 1 of the backup mechanism 107 backs up the banknotes P in the banknote storage chamber 66.
12 reverses and lowers the backup body 72,
As shown in FIG. 6C, the backup body 72 is retracted to the lower side of the banknote receiving surface 66a of the banknote storage chamber 66. Next, the motor 117, which is the drive source of the third horizontally 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 retreated, and the receiving metal fittings 90, 90
The robot moves to a position where it completely passes under the bank note P held by the bank note P. Then, the motor 112 rotates in the forward direction and the backup body 72 rises, as shown in FIG.
2 faces the back side and longitudinally central portion of the bank note P held by the receiving metal fittings 90, 90. At this time, the motor 105 rotates a little in the opposite direction, causing the first and second horizontal movable blocks 98a and 98b carrying the banknote holding mechanisms 96a and 96b to move back a little, turning the pressure detection switch 118 to "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. banknote 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.

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 118 to turn off.

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. Then, the backup body 72 is intermittently moved to a state commensurate with the amount of banknotes P taken out from the banknote storage chamber 66, so that good takeout can always be carried 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 section unit 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 Pb' 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.

(In FIG. 7, the flow of banknotes for withdrawal that passed the inspection result is shown by solid arrows, and the flow of banknotes for withdrawal that failed the inspection result is shown by dashed 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, 1,000 yen notes, 5,000 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... are sent to the first conveyance path 18, which is also the conveyance path at the time of withdrawal, through the transfer roller pair 14 and the take-in conveyance path 17, and are passed through the banknote inspection device 24 to the banknote inspection device 24. The authenticity of the tickets P..., whether or not they have been conveyed in duplicate, their size, etc. are inspected. Then, among the banknotes P determined to be genuine according to the inspection results, the thousand yen notes Pa are stored in the first temporary storage section 2.
5. Banknotes that are handled in small numbers such as 500 yen notes Pc and 5000 yen notes Pb, and 1000 yen notes Pa″ and 10,000 yen notes Pb″ that are deemed undesirable for use as banknotes for withdrawals. (For example, items that are extremely dirty, torn, or 1,000 yen bills that are likely to bend and affect removal.
Pa'', 10,000 yen notes Pb'' are transferred to the second temporary stacking section 26, and 10,000 yen notes Pb... are transferred to the third temporary stacking section 27. banknotes Pa′, Pb′,
Pc' and Pd' 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 Pa′, Pb′, Pc′, Pd′ 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.
Thereafter, unlike when dispensing money, the money is taken in one by one again by the taking-in roller 13, inspected, and stacked according to each denomination type.

(In FIG. 8, the flow of deposit banknotes that passed the inspection result is shown by the solid line arrow, and the flow of deposit banknotes that failed the inspection result is shown by the dashed line arrow.) Bank note Pa′, which cannot be passed no matter what.

Although the banknotes are collected in the banknote storage chamber 71 of No. 4, as shown in FIG. 11, the banknotes may be collected in a collection warehouse that is shared with the collection warehouse 29 that collects the rejected banknotes at the time of withdrawal. In other words, 1,000 yen notes that are inappropriate for withdrawal.
Pa'' and 10,000 yen note Pb'' together with 500 yen note Pc and 5,000 yen note Pd are once accumulated in the second temporary accumulation section 26, and when the approval button is pressed, this second temporary accumulation section 26
The banknotes Pa'', Pb'', Pc, and Pd accumulated in the banknotes are once conveyed to the banknote receiving section 12 as indicated by the dashed-dotted line arrows, and then taken in one by one again and re-examined.
The 100-yen notes Pc and the 5,000-yen notes Pd are once again accumulated in the second temporary accumulation unit 26 as shown by the solid arrows, and the 1,000-yen notes Pa'' and the 10,000-yen notes Pb'' that are inappropriate for withdrawal are placed as indicated by the broken line arrows. As shown, the tickets may be collected in a collection warehouse that is shared with the collection warehouse 29 that collects the rejected tickets at the time of withdrawal.

In addition, a banknote direction conversion device that can selectively operate is provided downstream of the banknote inspection device 24, so that the front and back directions of the banknotes P are kept constant so that the banknotes P face the same direction when withdrawing money. It is also possible to do so.

In addition, four types of banknotes are handled when depositing, and two types of banknotes are handled when withdrawing money.
8, and compatibility with multiple denominations can be easily realized by adding each part.

Furthermore, although the banknotes for deposits and banknotes for withdrawals are inspected by the same banknote inspection device 24, they may be inspected by separate banknote inspection devices.

In addition, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and that various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

In addition, according to the configuration of the above embodiment in which the collection warehouse for collecting rejected tickets at the time of withdrawal and the collection warehouse for collecting inappropriate withdrawal tickets at the time of deposit are shared in the same collection warehouse, This has the advantage of simplifying the configuration and lowering costs compared to those provided in the.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention enables deposited banknotes to be used as banknotes for withdrawal, so the total number of banknotes in the device can be minimized, and the use of banknotes can be minimized. In addition to increasing efficiency, it is possible to reduce the burden of storing and organizing banknotes at the start and end of operation.

In addition, we have started to collect banknotes for deposits that are unsuitable for withdrawals, so those that are extremely dirty, torn, or bent and likely to affect withdrawal at the time of withdrawal, etc. This has the effect of preventing it from being used as a ticket. In addition, since it is equipped with a deposit/withdrawal port into which banknotes for deposits are inserted all at once and banknotes for withdrawals are discharged, it is more convenient than a deposit/withdrawal port with separate deposit and withdrawal ports.
It becomes possible to simplify the configuration and improve operability for the user.

In addition, there is a first bank where genuine banknotes for deposit are temporarily accumulated.
The temporary collection section for banknotes is set up in a separate part from the banknote storage room, so if a deposit transaction is rejected and returned to the user, and a jam occurs on the conveyance path, subsequent processing will be easier. The effect is that it can be performed extremely easily.
