Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a circulating automatic teller machine that takes in deposited banknotes and uses them as banknotes for withdrawal.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in a circulating automatic teller machine that uses deposited banknotes as dispensing banknotes, as shown in FIG. A bill storage and dispensing section C including a storage section and a non-dispensing bill storage section in which money is not withdrawn in principle is provided at the lower part of the main body D.

In this device, deposited banknotes are sent through a deposited banknote identification path E and a disbursed banknote identification path F to a banknote storage/discharge section C located at the bottom of the main body D. The deposited banknotes are sorted and stored in the storage section based on the recognition results in the deposited banknote recognition path E.

In addition, when withdrawing money, the bills are sent out from each denomination storage section of the bill storing and dispensing section C through the dispensing bill identification path F,
From the identification result in identification path F, different denominations, 2
Irregular banknotes such as stacked, chained, and skewed banknotes are collected into the banknote storage and dispensing section C, and only legitimate banknotes are sent to the dispensing banknote receiving section B.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, in conventional processing machines, the two passages E and F must each be an identification passage with a discriminator installed, and the denomination discriminator, which is a prerequisite for identification, is duplicated in both passages E and F, respectively. must be established. In addition, since it is necessary to ensure accurate identification accuracy in the passage where the discriminator is installed, in order to accurately position the banknotes relative to the discriminator, a pressure roller that presses the banknotes against the discriminator is used. The first problem is that special members and the like must be provided to define the passing plane of the motor, which inevitably makes the structure extremely complicated and expensive.

In addition, in FIG. 9, there is also an apparatus in which the deposited banknote identification path E is also used as the disbursed banknote identification path, and for this purpose, a detour path G shown by a dashed line is separately provided.
In this device, the banknotes dispensed from the denomination storage section as dispensing banknotes are checked for abnormalities such as authenticity, correctness, skew, abnormal thickness, chaining, etc. of the banknotes. If an abnormality such as skew is detected by the identification unit, the banknote is not dispensed but is collected into the banknote storage/discharge unit.

However, it is necessary to provide an extra detour passage, and for this reason, it is necessary to secure an additional space inside the machine body of the cash depositing and dispensing machine, which causes the second problem of complicating the structure.

Furthermore, the system shown in Fig. 9 employs a system in which deposited banknotes are permanently stored in each denomination storage section and non-withdrawal banknote storage section of the banknote storage/dispensing section C without temporarily holding them. Although this has the advantage of being able to store bills quickly, the third problem is that it can cause trouble if the amount that the operator expected and the amount that was stored in the bill storage/dispensing section are different. be.

Furthermore, the banknotes dispensed from the denomination storage section are
There are almost no cases where the conveyance becomes skewed in the middle of the conveyance path.
In many cases, the paper is skewed when it is fed out from the denomination storage section, but in conventional devices, the skewed paper is fed out from the denomination storage section in a skewed state and transferred to the detour conveyance path G.
The banknotes pass through the identification section E, and then are collected at the banknote storage/discharge section C through another conveyance path. For this reason, there is a fourth problem in that banknotes may become jammed in the conveyance path due to skew feeding, and this causes problems with the deposit/disburse machine.

The present invention has been made in order to solve these problems, and provides a circulating automatic teller/dispensing machine which has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, reduces dispensing errors, and can reliably eliminate skewed banknotes. With the goal.

[Means to solve the problem]

According to the present invention, there is provided a deposit port, a withdrawal port, a denomination-specific storage section for storing withdrawal banknotes by denomination, a non-withdrawal banknote storage section for storing non-withdrawal banknotes, and a depositing port. a take-in passage for conveying banknotes taken in from the slot to either the denomination-specific storage section or the non-dispensing banknote storage section; and an extraction path for taking out banknotes from the denomination-specific storage section and conveying them to the dispensing port. In the circulating automatic teller machine, which is equipped with a passageway and circulates and uses deposited banknotes as banknotes for withdrawal, a portion of each of the take-in passage and the take-out passage is combined and integrated. A banknote identification unit common to deposited banknotes and withdrawal banknotes is provided on the downstream side of this joint part, and a skew detection sensor is installed in the takeout passage near the takeout end of the denomination-specific storage unit to detect this skew. The present invention is characterized in that a discharge section for discharging a discharged banknote whose skew has been detected is provided in each of the discharge passages downstream of the sensor.

It is preferable that each of the denomination-specific storage units includes a temporary holding unit in the upper part thereof, which temporarily holds the deposited banknotes conveyed through the deposit passage.

[Effect]

Bills deposited from the deposit slot are conveyed through a take-in passage, and after the denomination and the like are determined by an identification section provided along the way, they are stored in storage sections for each denomination. A skew detection sensor is installed in the feeding path near the end of the banknotes fed out from the denomination storage section, and this sensor detects the skew that occurs during feeding. It is immediately discharged to the discharge section. Banknotes whose skew is not detected are conveyed through the feeding path, but the feeding path is combined with the taking-in path, and after being identified by the above-mentioned identification section, regular banknotes diverge from the taking-in path and are dispensed. It is ejected into the mouth.

In addition, if a temporary storage section is provided, if the deposit amount desired by the operator differs from the amount stored in the bill storage/dispensing section, it will be possible to start over, which will prevent troubles. It won't happen.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, some embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is an internal configuration diagram of one embodiment. In addition, in the following description of the drawings, the same elements are indicated by the same reference numerals. The circulating automatic teller machine shown in FIG. 1 is used by tellers at bank counters, for example. The teller's machine and the circulating automatic deposit/withdrawal machine are electrically connected to each other and operate based on instructions from the teller's machine operated by the teller.

Deposit banknotes 102 inputted from the input slot 101 are transferred to a receiving mechanism 1 driven by a pulse motor TM _1.
03, the sheets are taken into the interior one by one and conveyed through the conveyance path a,
The banknotes are sent to the bill recognition section 104 via the banknotes b. The deposit paper 102 contains a mixture of different denominations, damaged bills, etc., and the bill identification unit 104 checks the authenticity of the deposited bills.
The denomination, fitness, front and back, thickness, skew (transported diagonally), chain (multiple sheets of paper are connected), etc. are identified (high-grade identification). The identified deposited banknotes are sent to the banknote reversing unit 105, and the front and back sides of the banknotes whose upper side is determined to be the back side, for example, are reversed. In this way, all the deposited banknotes are sent out from the back-to-back reversing unit 105 with the upper side of the banknotes aligned, for example, with the front side. In addition, paper side reversed section 1
The detailed structure of 05 will be described later.

At the time of deposit, the lever 106 is turned upward by the pulse motor KM ₁ , so the bill reversing unit 1
The banknotes sent out from 05 are sent to the temporary holding unit 200 via the conveyance path e. However, if the deposited banknotes are counterfeit, abnormally thick, chained, or chained, etc.
The lever 106 will be turned downward and the bill will be returned. Pulse motor KM ₄ , KM ₃ , KM ₂ , KM ₅
Lever 201, 202, 20 driven by
3, 204 switches the conveyance path based on the identification result of the banknote identification unit 104. The switching timing is when the leading edge of the banknote is detected by sensors S ₃ , S ₄ , and S ₅ , and the timing of return is when the trailing edge of the banknote is detected by sensors S ₂ , S ₆ , S ₇ , and S ₈ . That's when it happened. In this way, for example, 10,000 yen bills go to the first temporary storage unit 205 via transport paths h and i, and 5,000 yen bills go to the second temporary storage unit 206 through transport paths h,
The 1000 yen bill passes through the conveyance path g and is transferred to the third temporary storage section 20.
7, banknotes to be collected such as 500 yen bills (collected to convert to 500 yen coins) and damaged notes are transferred to conveyance paths h, i,
j, and is sent to the reject temporary holding unit 208. Further, the banknotes identified as unfit by the banknote identification unit 104 are sent to the reject unit 301 via conveyance paths h, i, j, and k. In addition, the temporary holding section 205-2
Detection that banknotes are held in bank 08 is performed by sensors S ₉ , S ₁₀ , S ₁₁ , and S ₁₂ . and,
When the holding pieces 209, 210, 211, and 212 are opened by the pulse motors SM ₂ , SM ₃ , SM ₄ , and SM ₁ , the deposited banknotes are stored in the first, second, and third storage cassette sections 302 for each denomination. , 303, 304 and a rigid cassette section 305.

Sensors S ₁₃ to S ₁₇ detect that banknotes are stored in the reject section 301, the first, second, and third storage cassette sections 302, 303, and 304, and the reject cassette section 305. Further, each of the storage cassette parts 302 to 304 and the redirect cassette part 305 can be pulled out from the main body 100 all at once, and the banknotes 102a, 102b, 102c, 10 in the cassette can be removed from the main body 100.
2d can be pulled out and collected separately.

When withdrawing money, withdrawal mechanisms 306, 307, 308, 3 driven by pulse motors TM ₂ to _{TM 5} are used.
09 takes out the banknotes one by one, and sends them to the banknote identification section 104 through transport paths l, m, n, o, p, q, r, and b. A discharging means 500 is provided in the middle of the conveyance path p for collecting skewed banknotes into the reject section 301. Banknote identification section 10
In 4, the denomination, front and back, thickness, chain, etc. are identified (lower level identification). When the upper side is identified as the back side, the front and back sides of the banknote are reversed by the banknote reversing unit 105,
It is sent out to the return port 107 via the conveyance path f. Note that the sensor S ₂₂ is used to determine the return timing of the lever 106, and the sensor S ₂₃ is used to detect the withdrawal of money. In addition, a sensor is used to take out banknotes 102a to 102d from each cassette.

Fig. 4 is an explanatory diagram of the memory contents of the RAM 404 in Fig. 3, in which Fig. 4 a shows the memory of the deposit, withdrawal amount, and number of coins for each denomination, etc., and Fig. 4 b shows the withdrawn denomination type flag. . Note that these memories may be provided within the teller's machine 405, or may be provided separately as necessary.

The operation of the apparatus shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8. FIG. 5 is a flowchart of the basic operation. The device is in operation,
When a transaction mode is specified by an operator (for example, a teller) (block 601) and a deposit transaction is instructed by the teller (block 602), deposit processing is performed (block 603). If a withdrawal transaction is instructed without a deposit transaction being instructed (block 602,
604), and the withdrawal process is executed (block 605). If the teller commands the replenishment mode without commanding the transaction mode (blocks 601, 606), replenishment processing is performed (block 607), and if the replenishment mode is not commanded but the collection mode is commanded (blocks 606, 606).
608), collection processing is executed (block 609).
If the recovery mode is not specified and the accident recovery mode is specified (blocks 608, 610), accident recovery processing is executed (block 611).

6a and 6b are flowcharts of the deposit processing shown in FIG. 5. First, Terror is Terror's Machine 40
5, and enter the deposit amount, denomination, and number of coins, the deposit amount memory NKM or the deposit amount type and number of coins memory shown in FIG.
This data is stored in 10000NMM, 5000NMM, and 1000NMM. Next, when the teller inserts the banknotes received from the customer into the slot 101, the sensor _S1 detects this (block 701), and the banknotes are taken into the bank one by one by the take-in mechanism 103 (block 702).

The banknotes taken in one by one are identified by the banknote identification unit 104 (block 703). When abnormal thickness, skew, chain, or counterfeit bills are identified (block 704), the lever 106 is switched and the bills are sent to the conveyance path f and returned from the return slot 107 (block 705). . When it is identified as normal, the deposit counting memory is 10000KMM, 5000KMM,
"+1" is added to the corresponding denomination of 1000KMM (block 706).

If the banknote identification unit 104 identifies the top side as the back side (block 707), the front and back sides of the banknote are reversed when passing through the banknote inversion unit 105 (block 708). If the bill is identified as an unfit bill (block 709), this bill cannot be used as a bill for withdrawal, so the reject temporary holding section 20
8 (block 710). When it is a genuine bill, it is divided by denomination, and the temporary holding section 20 of the relevant denomination
5 to 207 (block 711).

Thereafter, the fetching operation continues while the sensor _S1 detects the next banknote (block 712).

Once all banknotes have been received, the teller manually enters the number of denominations and total amount (input and counted) displayed on the display section 407 of the teller's machine 405 before processing the deposit. Compare the amount of deposits and withdrawals or the number of coins by denomination. Then, when these match, operate the authorization key (block
713).

Even if some bills are returned from the deposit/withdrawal machine and the manually input value and the value displayed on the display section 407 do not match, the approval key may be operated by agreement between the teller and the customer. In this case, the banknotes returned from the deposit/withdrawal machine are returned to the customer. On the other hand, if you wish to cancel the transaction due to the above discrepancy, the return key may be operated and the memory cleared (block
714, 715). In this case, the teller manually pulls out temporary holding unit 200, removes the banknotes, and returns them to the customer (block 716).

Note that the returned banknotes may be inserted again through the input slot 101, or may be additionally inserted when divided into parts.

When the approval key is operated, each temporary holding section 205
The banknotes held in ~208 are stored in the holding piece 209.
~212 operates, each cassette section 30
2 to 305 (block 717). Then, deposit total amount memory GKM, deposit counting memory
10000KMM, 5000KMM, 1000KMM are cleared (block 718).

Figures 7a and 7b are flowcharts of withdrawal processing. The teller is the operation part 40 of the teller's machine 405
7, the withdrawal amount memory in Figure 4a will be displayed.
The withdrawal amount will be stored in SKM. Then, CPU4
01 determines the denomination required for withdrawal, sets the withdrawal denomination flags MFL to SFL in FIG. Store in ~1000SMM.

First, it is determined whether the flags for the denominations necessary for depositing are set to "1" in the order of 10,000 yen, 5,000 yen, and 1,000 yen (blocks 801, 802, and 803). For example, if the flag MFL for 10,000 yen is "1", withdrawal of 10,000 yen is started. That is, the banknotes (10,000 yen banknotes) 102a from the first storage cassette section 302 are taken out by the takeout mechanism and sent one by one to the conveyance path n (block 804). The above operation is the same for 5,000 yen and 1,000 yen (block 805,
806). Further, when none of the withdrawal money type flags MFL to SFL are set to "1", an abnormality is displayed on the display section 407 of the teller's machine 405 (block 807).

The skewed banknote detection section consisting of sensors S ₂₅ and S ₂₆ detects skew feeding (block 808), and the discharge gate switching detection section consisting of sensor S ₂₄ detects that the skewed banknote has reached the conveyance path p. and (block)
809), the discharge gate 50 as shown by the solid line in FIG.
6 operates for a predetermined period of time to reject skewed banknotes 3
01 (block 810).

The banknotes taken out one by one by the takeout mechanism without any skew being detected by the sensors S ₂₅ and S ₂₆ pass through the conveyance paths o, p, q, r, and b to the banknote identification unit 104.
, where low-level identification is performed (block
811). When it is identified that there is an abnormal banknote (block 812), the banknote is stored in the reject section 301 via transport paths e, h, i, j, and k (block 812).
813). As a result of front/back identification, when it is identified that the top side is the back side (block 814), the banknote is reversed in the front/back reversing unit 105 (block 814).
815). Also, when it is determined that the banknote is a different denomination, for example, when the banknote is found to be a 1,000 yen bill even though it was taken out from the first storage cassette section 302 (the banknote
816) sends the bill (thousand yen bill) to the temporary holding unit 204 of the corresponding denomination (block 817).

If the banknote is a proper banknote (normal banknote), see Figure 4a.
``+1'' is added to the takeout number memory TMM (block 818), and the banknotes are sent to the return slot 107. The above operation is repeated until the value in the withdrawal number memory 10000SM matches the value in the withdrawal number memory TMM (block 819). When a match is made and the flag for that denomination is 10,000 yen, "0" is set in MFL and the number of coins to be taken out memory TMM is also cleared (block 820).

Next, the flags for other denominations (5,000 yen, 1,000 yen) are "1"
It is determined whether or not the banknote has been set, and the banknote of the next denomination is taken out (block 821).

When all withdrawal processing is completed, the teller checks the display section 407 of the teller's machine 405 to confirm whether the payment has been completed normally (block
822), operate the end key. As a result, the banknotes (different denominations) held in the temporary holding units 209-211 are stored in each cassette unit 302-304 (block 823), and all memories are cleared (block 824). In addition, if the payment ends abnormally or if you wish to cancel it, the number of cancelled
The TMM is cleared (block 826), and the bills dispensed at the same time are taken out by the teller, set to replenishment mode, and then collected from the bill inlet 101 (block 825).

If re-emission is necessary, the teller resets the memory and redoes the operation (block 827,
828).

Next, the replenishment process will be explained. The replenishment process of specifying the replenishment mode and inserting replenishment bills into the bill slot 101 is exactly the same as in the flowchart of FIG. 6, except that blocks 706, 715, and 718 are omitted.

Other replenishment processing methods include the following.

First, the temporary holding unit 200 is connected to the main body 100.
In this method, the teller withdraws the banknotes from the bank and puts the banknotes by denomination into each of the temporary storage units 205 to 207. If you operate the storage key on the operation unit 406 after inserting banknotes,
Each holding piece 209-211 is rotated and stored in each storage cassette part 302-304.

The second method is to pull out the storage unit 300 from the main body 100 and have the teller place banknotes by denomination into each of the storage cassettes 302 to 304.

The third method is to take out only the rigid cassette part 305 from the storage unit 300 and put a plurality of denominations at once. In this case, the ejection mechanism 3
It is necessary to take out the banknotes one by one using the banknote 09, perform low grade recognition in the banknote recognition section 104, and then store them in each of the storage cassettes 302-304.

Next, the collection process will be explained. When the teller designates the collection mode from the operating section 406, the ejecting mechanism 308 operates to eject the banknote (thousand yen bill) 102c from the third storage cassette section 304. The taken out banknotes are transferred to transport paths l, m, n, o,
The banknotes are sent to the banknote identification unit 104 via the banknotes p, q, r, and b. In the collection mode, the bill identifying section 104 and the bill reversing section 105 do not operate, and the bill passes through them and is sent to the reject cassette section 305 via the transport paths e, h, i, j, and k. When the third storage cassette section 304 becomes empty, the second and first storage cassette sections 303 and 302 are collected sequentially, and if the rigid cassette section 305 becomes full midway through, the other storage cassettes are collected. part (for example, the first
storage cassette section 302).

When the collection is completed, the teller takes out the redirect cassette section 305 from the storage unit 300 and examines it.

In addition, as another collection method, storage unit 3
00 from the main body 100, and each storage cassette 3
The banknotes may be examined every 02 to 305.

Figure 8 is a flowchart of accident recovery processing. If a banknote gets stuck in the conveyance path for some reason while the automatic deposit/withdrawal machine is operating, and the operation stops, the teller turns on the accident recovery switch SW ₁ provided in the teller's machine 405, for example. 901). Then, the pulse motor _GM1 is turned on and the discharge gate 506 is driven from the position shown by the dotted line in FIG. 2 to the position shown by the solid line (block 902). The motor HM ₂ is then turned on for a predetermined time (block 903) and the transport paths l, m, n, o, p are driven to transport the banknotes in the direction of the ejection means 500. When the banknotes are collected by the reject section 301, the pulse motor _GM1 is turned off (block 904) and the accidental collection operation is completed. In addition, the temporary holding unit 20
0 and the banknotes stuck above it are removed by the teller by opening the cover of the device, etc.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As mentioned above, according to the present invention, deposited banknotes,
Since the banknotes to be disbursed are identified by a common banknote identification section, only one path is required for identification.
The structure is simple, making it possible to reduce the size and cost.

In addition, since banknotes that are skewed when dispensing money are detected and removed by a skew sensor installed near the storage section, it is possible to appropriately prevent jams in the dispensing path during conveyance, and the identification section It is possible to reduce the frequency of abnormality detection due to skew, which increases as a result of reducing the number of skews to one.
