Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the occurrence of a paper money jam by accumulating notes with a side guide maintained at the second position, when received paper money is judged to be unsuitable for a transaction, and transferring the paper money as a batch with the side guide still held at the second position after accumulating the notes. CONSTITUTION:A side guide operation mechanism 124 is added to a control section. This operation mechanism 124 identifies the positions of side guides 107a and 107b on the basis of a signal from a sensor. When the side guides 107a and 107b are judged to be at the first positions shown with a solid line in the illustration, the control section 26 causes the rotation of a motor 121, and moves the side guides 107a and 107b to the second positions 107a' and 107b' shown with a two-dot chain line. When paper money received from a customer service section are judged to be unsuitable for acceptance, the paper money is accumulated one by one, with the side guides 107a and 107b kept at the second positions. Then, the paper money is delivered as a batch to the customer service section, while the side guides 107a and 107b are still kept at the second positions. According to the aforesaid construction, the paper money does not collide with the side guides 107a and 107b, and the occurrence of a note jam can be prevented.

FIG. 7 is a side sectional view of the bill depositing and dispensing device showing the flow of bills during a deposit transaction, and FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the processing of deposited rejected bills during a conventional deposit transaction.

In a deposit transaction, the customer presses the deposit transaction key provided on the operation keys of the customer operation section, inserts the card from the card insertion slot into the card reader/writer section, or enters the bankbook from the passbook insertion/return slot (not shown). When inserted into the machine, communication is performed between the control unit 26 and a center (not shown), and when it is confirmed that there is no problem, the customer service port 2 is rotated to the deposit position and the shutter provided above is closed. 2C opens.

Note that when the deposit transaction is started, the motor 121 of the side guide operating mechanism 124 also rotates, and the side guide 107a
, 107b are performing reciprocating motion (SAI).

When it is confirmed that the customer has inserted banknotes into the customer service port 2,
The shutter 2C is closed and the customer service port 2 is placed in the separated position.

When the customer service opening 2 is in the separation position, the inserted banknotes are separated one by one by the separation mechanism 2b and transported to the discrimination section 3 by the transport path 4.

In the discrimination section 3, the authenticity of the transported banknotes, the fitness and damage discrimination, and the running state are detected (SA2).

The so-called deposit reject banknotes that have been determined by the discrimination section 3 to be counterfeit banknotes or abnormally conveyed banknotes are transferred to the blade 1.
5 is switched and transported to the front/back reversing mechanism 5 via the transport path 6, and stacked one by one in the stacking section 5C (SA3).

At the time of this accumulation, as described above, the side guide 10
7a and 107b are reciprocating so as to align the deposited rejected banknotes horizontally.

Here, if deposit reject banknotes are accumulated in the accumulation part 5C of the front/back reversing mechanism 5, all the banknotes at the customer service port 2 are conveyed and accumulated at a predetermined location (SA
4), side guide 107a.

107b is stopped at the first position shown by the solid line in Fig. 5 (
SA5), Rotate the customer service department 2 to the receiving position and collect the deposited rejected banknotes in the customer service department 2.
(SA6).

Thereafter, the customer service port 2 is rotated to the withdrawal position, the shutter 2C is opened, and the money is returned to the customer (SAT).

The discrimination section 3 distinguishes genuine notes, 5,000 yen notes, or unfit notes (I
The banknotes determined to be non-circular banknotes are transported to the transport path 13 by switching the blade 15.

Here, the stage 12 provided in the deposit/withdrawal unit 11
a to 12c are closed, and when the discriminating unit 3 distinguishes the conveyed banknote as a genuine thousand-yen note, the blade 14a is switched and the denomination-specific force cell is operated to store the thousand-yen note from the conveyance path 13. It is accumulated on stage 12a on l-10a.

When the discriminating unit 3 distinguishes the conveyed bill as a genuine ten thousand yen note, the blade 14b is switched to move the banknote from the conveyance path 13 to the stage 1 on the denomination cassette 10b that stores the ten thousand yen note.
2b.

When the discriminating unit 3 distinguishes the conveyed banknote from a 5,000 yen note or an uncirculated banknote, such as a damaged note, the blade 14c is switched and the denomination-specific cassette 10c stores another 10,000 yen note from the conveyance path 13. It is accumulated on the upper stage 12c.

Here, the banknotes are counted in the discrimination section 3,
All banknotes inserted into customer service port 2 are placed in a denomination cassette IOa
Once the banknotes have been accumulated on the stages 12a to 12c above 10c, the banknote deposit/withdrawal device 1 sends a notification to the control unit 26 that the counting of the deposited banknotes has been completed, and records the number of banknotes counted for each denomination as count data in 1,000. They are added separately to circulating banknotes, which are regular yen notes and 10,000 yen notes, and banknotes that are not subject to circulation, such as 5,000 yen notes and unfit notes.

Upon receiving this data, the control section 26 calculates the amounts for each denomination and the total amount, displays them on the display section of the customer operation section, and counts and stores them as a deposit count.

When the customer confirms the displayed amount and presses the confirmation button on the customer operation section, the customer first moves the 1,000 yen note on stage 12a and the 10,000 yen note on stage 12b to each other by opening stages 12a and 12b. It is stored in a type cassette 10a and a denomination cassette 10b.

Further, the 5,000 yen bills and unfit bills accumulated on the stage 12c are again pressed one by one and conveyed to the discrimination section 3, and the blades 15 and 19 are switched and stored in the reject cassette 17 via the conveyance path 18. After performing predetermined processing on the card or passbook, it is returned to the customer, and the processing of the deposit transaction is completed.

FIG. 9 is a side sectional view of the bill depositing and dispensing device showing the flow of bills during a withdrawal transaction.

For a withdrawal transaction, when the customer presses the withdrawal transaction key on the customer operation unit, inserts the card into the card slot, and enters the PIN number, the control unit 26 issues a command to the automatic transaction device to start the withdrawal process. Send.

When the automatic transaction device receives a command to start withdrawal processing,
The internal state is switched to the withdrawal mode and the system waits for instructions on the denomination and number of banknotes to be discharged. Note that when a withdrawal transaction is started, the motor of the side guide operating mechanism 124! 21 is rotating, and the side guides 107a and 107b are performing reciprocating motion.

When the customer inputs the withdrawal amount, first, it is determined whether or not the sensor of the denomination-specific cassette 10 has detected the end. If an end is detected in both denomination cassettes lOb and 10c that store 10000 yen notes, or in denomination cassette 10a that stores 1000 yen notes, a response is sent with information indicating that withdrawals are not possible. Send it back.

If the end is not detected, ten thousand yen notes and thousand yen notes are fed out from the denomination cassette 10 according to the withdrawal amount.

First, a predetermined number of ten thousand yen notes are fed out from the denomination cassette 10b or 10c by activating the separation mechanism provided in the deposit/withdrawal unit 11 corresponding to each denomination cassette 10.

The dispensed banknotes are conveyed through a conveyance path 13 and fed into a discriminating section 3, where the discriminating section 3 distinguishes whether the banknotes are as specified or not (front and back) and whether they are fit or not.If they are as specified, the blade 15 is moved in the direction of the conveyance path6. The paper is then transferred to the front/back reversing mechanism 5.

Here, the blade 7 is switched based on the front/back determination result in the discrimination section 3, and if it is determined that it is the back side, it is transported through the conveyance path 8 and stacked in the stacking section 5C with the front and back sides reversed, and the blade 7 is determined to be the front side. The items are conveyed along the conveyance path 9 and accumulated without being turned over.

As described above, the side guides 107a and 107b reciprocate and align the banknotes stacked in the stacking section 5C with their left and right sides aligned.

Note that the banknotes that are identified as abnormally conveyed bills in the discrimination section 3 are stacked in the reject cassette 17 by switching the blade 15 toward the conveyance path 13 direction.

Then, the 10,000 yen notes are fed out again from the denomination cassette 10b or 10c and the discrimination in the discrimination section 3 is repeated until the required number of 10,000 yen notes are accumulated in the accumulation section 5C.

When the stacking of 10,000 yen bills is completed, the required number of 1,000 yen bills are fed out from the denomination cassette 10a by the same operation as in the case of the 10,000 yen bills and stacked in the stacking section 5C.

When the amount specified by the customer has been accumulated in the accumulation section 5C, the side guides 107a and 107b are stopped at the first position shown by the solid line in FIG. 5 to align the banknotes. Then, the customer service port 2 is rotated to the receiving position, and the stacked banknotes are fed into the customer service port 2 at once through the front-back reversing mechanism 5 by the action explained in FIG.

Once the banknotes are fed into the customer service port 2, the customer service port 2 is rotated to the deposit/withdrawal position, the shutter 2C is opened, and when a sensor (not shown) or the like detects that the customer has taken out the banknote, the shutter 2c is closed. .

When the specified number of coins have been withdrawn, the automatic transaction device will control the control unit 2.
A completion response is returned to 6, and the denomination type and number of coins to be released are added as data.

The control unit 26 receives this, counts it as the number of coins to be withdrawn, and stores it.

In addition, if the customer forgets to take a banknote, the banknote is stored in the reject cassette 17 as a banknote that was left behind.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, the bill depositing and dispensing device described above has the following problems.

That is, FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing a conventional problem. During a withdrawal transaction in which only normally transported banknotes are transported to the front/back reversing mechanism 5, the side guides 107a and 107
By reciprocating the banknotes b, the banknotes are stacked in the stacking section 5C in an aligned manner. However, during a deposit transaction in which rejected banknotes including banknotes with conveyance errors such as skewed bills are conveyed to the front/back reversing mechanism 5. 1 is a case where the side guides 107a and 107b are reciprocating with a large amount of lateral deviation or skew, and the side guides 107a and 107b are in the first position shown by the solid line.
When a banknote is conveyed in the position shown in FIG.
7b, and the side guides 107a and 107b cannot be aligned even if they reciprocate (there is a problem of bill jamming).

The present invention has been made in order to solve such problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a banknote depositing and dispensing device with high reliability by preventing the occurrence of banknote jams when depositing rejected banknotes are stacked in a front-back reversing mechanism. With the goal.

[Means to solve the problem]

To achieve this objective, the present invention provides one or more storage compartments for storing banknotes, and an external input bank for banknotes.

A customer service port that discharges banknotes to the outside, and a system that distinguishes whether the banknotes conveyed one by one from the customer service port during a deposit transaction are suitable for deposit or not, and at the time of a withdrawal transaction. a discrimination section that discriminates whether the banknotes conveyed one by one from the storage section are suitable for withdrawal or not; a stacking unit that sequentially stacks banknotes that have been determined to be unsuitable, sequentially stacks banknotes that have been determined to be suitable for withdrawal at the time of a withdrawal transaction, and conveys the stacked banknotes all at once to the customer service port; ,
A first position that faces each other parallel to each other in the banknote stacking direction of the stacking section and has an interval approximately equal to the longitudinal length of the banknotes, and a second position that has an interval that is slightly longer than the diagonal length of the banknotes. In the bill stacking method for a bill depositing and dispensing device, the bill depositing and dispensing device has a side guide that performs reciprocating motion between the two positions while maintaining the parallel state by a driving means and aligns the bills stacked in the stacking section. When the banknotes deposited through the mouth are determined to be unsuitable for deposit transactions, the banknotes are stacked one by one while the side guide is held in the second position, and the side guide is kept in the second position after stacking. The products are held in a container and transported in bulk to the customer service area.

[Effect]

The present invention having the above-described configuration first recognizes the position of the side guide during a deposit transaction, moves it to the second position where the distance is the widest, and performs the deposit transaction while maintaining that position. , the rejected banknotes are accumulated between the widely spaced side guides.

Therefore, according to this, even when stacking abnormally conveyed bills that are significantly skewed, they do not collide with the side guides, and it is possible to prevent bill jams from occurring.

〔Example 〕

Examples will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The mechanical structures of the bill depositing and dispensing device and the front/back reversing mechanism are almost the same as the conventional ones shown in FIGS. In addition to the conventional functions, 26 has the following functions added. That is, when a deposit transaction is started, the side guide 107

The banknotes inserted by the customer through the customer service opening 2 are separated one by one and conveyed to the discrimination section 3, where they are discriminated (SB4
).

If it is determined that the banknote conveyed at SB4 is not a deposit-rejected banknote, that is, if it is determined to be a genuine banknote, a 5,000 yen banknote, or a banknote that is not subject to circulation, the same process as described in the conventional example is performed. will be carried out, and a detailed explanation will be omitted here.

If the banknote conveyed at SB4 is determined to be a deposit-reject banknote, the blade 15 is switched and the banknote is transferred to the conveyance path 6.
are transported and accumulated in the accumulation section 5c (SB5).

Here, FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the positional relationship between the side guide and banknotes, and shows the side guide 107a.

107b is the second position 1 indicated by the two-dot chain line as described above.
07a' and 107b', and the interval at this time is slightly wider than the diagonal length of the banknotes, so even if the amount of skew is large, the banknotes and the side guide 107a are stopped when stacking.
, 107b, there are gaps x and y between the side guide 1
It will not get caught in 07a or 107b.

When all the banknotes inserted by the customer have been paid out from the customer service slot 2 (SB6), the customer service port 2 is rotated to the receiving position, and the side guides 107a and 107b are held in the second position, and the front/back reversing mechanism 5 is rotated. The deposit reject banknotes accumulated in the accumulation section 5c are transported to the customer service port 2.
B7), the customer service port 2 is turned over to the withdrawal position, and the rejected banknotes are returned to the customer (SB8).

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, in the present invention, when a banknote deposited through a customer service opening is determined to be unsuitable for a deposit transaction, the banknote is held at the second position and the banknote is The sheets are stacked one by one, the side guide is held at the second position even after stacking, and the sheets are conveyed all at once to the customer service area.

Therefore, according to this, even when stacking abnormally conveyed bills that are greatly skewed, they do not collide with the side guides, and it is possible to prevent bill jamming.
