DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a deposit/withdrawal device that is installed in, for example, a mechanized corner of a bank and automatically deposits and withdraws banknotes.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

In recent years, deposit and withdrawal devices called ATMs have been put into practical use and have achieved considerable success. This ATM
(Automated Tellers Machine) is installed in the mechanized corner of a bank and automatically withdraws cash (bills) or deposits (deposits) using media such as cards and passbooks. The machines are operable and can be operated for extended hours even after bank counters have closed, and they can also be used for unmanned operation by installing them inside department stores, supermarkets, etc., and the number of machines installed is expected to increase in the future. be done.

However, conventional ATMs have separate depositing units and dispensing units, and the two units increase the size of the machine.

Additionally, since the deposit and withdrawal ports are separate, and there are two bill handling slots, customers have been confused and found it difficult to use. .

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention was made based on the above circumstances, and
The purpose of this is to reduce the size of the device, make it easier for customers to use with a single banknote handling port, and enable the banknotes to be taken in and stacked easily at this handling port. The aim is to provide a gold-plated device.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is a deposit/withdrawal device having a deposit function and a withdrawal function, which performs a deposit transaction or a withdrawal transaction, and returns the banknotes inserted at the time of the deposit transaction. an input means for inputting information, a deposit/withdrawal port that serves as a deposit/withdrawal port, and a banknote storage chamber provided corresponding to the deposit/withdrawal port and capable of accommodating a plurality of stacked banknotes at once. a taking-in means that is provided to face one side of the banknotes inserted into the banknote storage chamber and takes in the banknotes in the banknote storage chamber one by one starting from the endmost banknote; and a banknote taken in by the banknote taking-in means. A conveyance path for conveying banknotes, a temporary storage section for temporarily storing banknotes conveyed by this conveyance path, and a banknote temporarily stored in a temporary storage section provided corresponding to this temporary storage section, which is used as a disbursing banknote. a banknote storage section for storing the banknotes, a take-out means for taking out the banknotes stored in the banknote storage section for use as payout banknotes when a withdrawal transaction is inputted by the input means; a conveyance path for conveying the withdrawn banknotes taken out from the storage section to the banknote storage chamber and for transporting the deposited banknotes stored in the temporary storage section toward the banknote storage chamber when a deposit return is input by the input means; , a stacking means provided opposite to the taking-in means with the bill storage chamber in between, and for stacking banknotes conveyed via the conveyance path in the banknote storage chamber; and banknotes stacked in the banknote storage chamber. a first position that is movable in the stacking direction and is evacuated from the banknote storage chamber; a second position that is displaced toward the stacking means in the banknote storage chamber;
and a back-up body movable to a third position displaced toward the taking-in means side in the banknote storage chamber, and the back-up body is placed in the second position when depositing banknotes from the deposit/withdrawal port, and in the third position when taking in banknotes. The present invention further includes a control means for moving the banknote to the first position when dispensing money and returning deposited banknotes.

[Effect]

According to the deposit/withdrawal device of the present invention, a plurality of banknotes that are stacked and inserted by a customer at once from the deposit/withdrawal port are received in the bill storage chamber provided below the deposit/withdrawal port. The banknotes stored in the banknote storage chamber are taken in one by one starting from the endmost banknote by a take-in means provided opposite to one side of the banknote, and are transported to a storage section via a transport path and temporarily stored. .

The banknotes temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit are stored in the banknote storage unit to be used as withdrawn banknotes when there is no request for deposit return.

When a withdrawal transaction is inputted by the input means, the bills stored in the bill storage section are taken out by the takeout means to be used as withdrawal bills, and are provided below the deposit/withdrawal port via a conveyance path. The banknotes are transported to the banknote storage chamber where the banknotes are stored.

Moreover, when a deposit return is inputted by the input means, the deposited banknotes stored in the temporary storage section are transported toward the banknote storage chamber via the transport path.

In this way, the dispensed banknotes or returned banknotes conveyed toward the banknote storage chamber are accumulated in the banknote storage chamber by the stacking means provided opposite to the taking-in means with the banknote storage chamber in between. Ru.

Further, when depositing banknotes from the deposit/withdrawal port, the back-up body is moved to a second position in the banknote storage chamber toward the accumulating means side, and when taking in banknotes, the back-up body is moved to a third position in the banknote storage chamber toward the loading means side. When dispensing money and returning deposited banknotes, it moves to the first position, which is evacuated from the banknote storage chamber.

As described above, the deposit/withdrawal device of the present invention is a bill circulation type that uses deposited banknotes as disbursed bills, and can be made smaller in size compared to conventional devices that have a depositing unit and a dispensing unit.

In addition, by having a deposit/withdrawal port that doubles as a deposit/withdrawal port, there is only one bill handling port, which reduces confusion for customers and makes it easier to use. .

Furthermore, since the taking-in means for taking in banknotes and the stacking means for accumulating banknotes in the banknote storage chamber are arranged to sandwich the banknote storage chamber, each means can apply sufficient conveyance force to the banknotes. Since the section for taking out bills from the bill storage chamber and the section for carrying bills into the bill storage chamber are separate, bills can be reliably taken in and stacked.

Furthermore, when deposited banknotes are inserted from the deposit/withdrawal port, the back-up body moves to the second position in the banknote storage chamber toward the stacking means, so that the deposited banknotes do not get caught in the stacking means or fall into the conveyance path. You can definitely accept it without feeling depressed.

Further, when taking in banknotes, the back-up body is moved to the third part which is displaced toward the taking-in means side in the banknote storage chamber.
By moving to the position, the banknotes in the banknote storage chamber can be pressed against the taking-in means and can be reliably taken in by the taking-in means.

Furthermore, when withdrawing money and returning deposited banknotes,
The backup body moves to the first position evacuated from the banknote storage chamber, allowing the stacking means to perform a reliable stacking operation.

This back-up body 59 is attached to a guide shaft 61 via a linear bearing 60, and a back-up body operating mechanism (not shown) guides the banknotes A in the banknote storage chamber 51 by using the guide shaft 61 as a guide. In order to press the banknotes against the first conveyor belt 53 side or to evacuate them from the banknote storage chamber 51, the second
The structure is such that it can be moved to a position further down than the conveyor belt 54 of the present invention.

Further, the above-mentioned accumulation mechanism 15b has the following configuration. That is, the second conveyor belt 54
is wrapped around a pulley 63 integrated with an impeller 62 disposed opposite the intake roller 57, a pulley 64 provided above the pulley 64, and a plurality of pulleys 65 (only one location is shown). The mutually opposing portions of the second conveyor belt 54 and the third conveyor belt 67, which is wrapped around a pulley 66 and a pulley 65 (only one location is shown) arranged at the bottom of the banknote storage chamber 51, The banknote A is transferred from the front/back reversing section 37 of the banknote transport path 38 to the banknote storage section 51.
It forms a part of the carrying-out part 38a which carries out....

Further, the pulley 64 is connected to the spindle 68 of the impeller 62.
The arm 71 is attached to the free end side of the arm 71, which is slidable around the center and is biased by a spring 69 to a position where it constantly contacts the stopper 70.

This arm 71 is configured to be able to rotate about a support shaft 68 by an arm operating mechanism 72 against the biasing force of a spring 69. That is,
On the pivot end side of the arm 71, there is a spring 75 which has a stronger urging force than the spring 69, which has one end connected to the plunger 73a of the plunger type magnet 73 and whose middle part is wrapped around the guide pulley 74.
The other end is connected, and by pulling the plunger 73a, the arm 71 can be rotated clockwise against the biasing force of the spring 69.

Further, the banknotes A taken in by the take-in roller 57 are transferred to the banknote transport path 3 by a guide plate 76.
It is designed to be sent between conveyance rollers 77 and 78 forming a part of the take-in conveyance path section 38b of No.8.

Note that among the two bill presence/absence detectors 41a and 41b that detect the presence or absence of bills A in the bill storage chamber 51, the upper bill presence/absence detector 41b detects the largest size bill, 10,000 yen bill A, in the bill storage chamber. 51, there is a certain distance between the upper end of the banknote A and the optical axis, so that a "bright" signal can be obtained.
Further, the lower banknote presence/absence detector 41a detects the difference between the lower end of the banknote A and the optical axis when the upper end of the banknote A is in a state of protruding from the deposit/withdrawal port 7 during a withdrawal operation, a deposit return operation, etc. A ``bright'' signal is now obtained, with a certain interval in between.

Next, with reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4A, the operation at the bill insertion timing at the time of deposit will be described. At the timing of depositing money, the door body 50 is pulled to the right by a motor (not shown) to open the deposit/withdrawal port 7 as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. At this time, since the back-up body 59 is in the second position shown in FIG. Can be invested. After inserting the banknotes, the door body 50 is moved to the left in the drawing via the handle 50a as a signal that the banknote insertion is completed, and the deposit/withdrawal port 7 is closed. This is detected by a detector (not shown) and the depositing operation begins.

That is, first, the first conveyor belt 53 on the right side of the figure runs in the direction of the arrow. Along with this, the take-in roller 57, which has rubber with a high friction coefficient baked onto a part of its circumference, also begins to rotate. On the other hand, at the same time, the backup body 59 is moved to the third position in the right direction in the figure by a backup body operating mechanism (not shown), and presses the banknote bundle A to the right as shown in FIG. It is pressed against the roller 57 and the first conveyor belt 53. At this time, the back-up body 59 is configured to be pressed through an intermediate spring (not shown), so that it can be pressed reliably regardless of the thickness of the banknote bundle A, and no strain is applied to the back-up operation mechanism.

As the take-in roller 57 rotates, the endmost banknote A is taken in, and at this time, the second and subsequent bills are banknote A
The banknotes A in the banknote storage chamber 51 are prevented from being taken in.
are taken in one by one starting from the endmost one and sent between conveyance rollers 77 and 78.

Next, referring to FIG. 4B, the operation of accumulating the returned banknotes A returned to the deposit/withdrawal port 7 side in the banknote storage chamber 51 will be described. First, the deposit/withdrawal port 7 is located at the door body 50.
, and the backup body 59 moves to the left in the figure and withdraws from the bill storage chamber 51.
Displaced to the position. Then, from below, the impeller 62
The tip of the banknote A fed through the belt can enter between the mutually opposing surfaces of the second conveyor belt 54 and the first conveyor belt 53.

Here, the banknotes A, which are successively conveyed one by one from below via the conveyance section 38a of the banknote conveyance path 38,
That is, the banknotes A, which have been conveyed between the second conveyor belt 54 and the third conveyor belt 67, are transferred to the blades 62 of the impeller 62, which is rotating counterclockwise.
The tip fits between a and 62a. The tip is then guided upward by the second conveyor belt 54, and when it reaches a predetermined position, the tip comes out of the impeller 62. At this time, the rear end side of the banknote A is connected to the blade 62a of the impeller 62 and the first conveyor belt 53.
Since the banknote A is sandwiched between the banknote and the banknote, the banknote A is conveyed upward, and when the rear end of the banknote A reaches a position where it is removed from the third conveyance belt 67, it is flipped off to the right in the figure by the next blade 62a. . Then, the banknotes A are stacked in the banknote storage chamber 51 with a sufficient gap formed between the banknotes A and the second transport belt 54, and subsequent banknotes A are placed between the stacked banknotes A and the second transport belt 54. They enter the space between them and are accumulated in the same way as above.

After a series of stacking is completed in this way, for bills that need to be read again, such as the rejected banknotes at the time of deposit, the loading operation described with reference to FIG. 4A is repeated with the door body 50 closed. .

In addition, banknotes are automatically returned when making a deposit, and bills are returned directly to the customer without having to be re-scanned when making a withdrawal.
When dispensing and having someone take it out, the operation is as follows. That is, as shown in FIG. 4C, the backup body 59 remains in the state of moving to the left in the figure, and the conveying operation of the banknote A is once stopped, and the magnet 73 is attracted to the second
The arm 71 to which the pulley 64, around which the conveyor belt 54 is stretched, is attached, is rotated clockwise about the support shaft 68. Then, the banknote bundle A in the banknote storage chamber 51 is sandwiched between the first conveyor belt 53 and the second conveyor belt 54.

After that, the door body 50 is opened, and the second conveyor belt 54 on the left is run in the direction of the arrow at a slow conveyance speed that is 1/10 of the normal conveyance speed, and at the same time the first conveyor belt 54 on the right is started. belt 53
Similarly, slow down and rotate in the direction of the arrow.

Then, the banknote bundle A is fed upward, and after rotating both conveyance belts 53 and 54 until the lower banknote presence/absence detector 41a becomes "bright", the conveyance is stopped.

At this time, more than half of the banknote bundle A... is at the deposit/withdrawal port 7.
Since it is stopped in a state where it protrudes from the banknote, the customer can easily pull out the banknote bundle A.

Moreover, since it is tightly held by the biasing force of the spring 75, it will not fall or be blown away by the wind.

On the other hand, when it is detected that the customer has removed the banknote bundle A by changing the signal of the upper banknote presence/absence detector 41b to "bright", the deposit/withdrawal port 7 is closed by the door body 50. The magnet 73 is released and the arm 71 returns to its original position, and the backup body 59 located on the left returns to the position shown in FIG. 3, allowing the next step to proceed.

Even if the predetermined time has passed, the bill presence/absence detector 4
When the signal 1b does not change to "bright", the mechanism determines that the customer has forgotten to take the banknotes A, and begins a collection operation. The operation at this time is to first run the first and second conveyor belts 53 and 54 in the opposite direction of the arrow at a low speed of 1/10 of the normal conveyance speed while holding the banknote A... to check whether the banknote is present or not above. The image is captured until the detector 41b changes to "bright". When the color changes to "bright", all the banknotes A... have been completely taken into the banknote storage chamber 51, so the suction of the magnet 73 is released and the pulley 64 around which the second conveyor belt 54 is wrapped. The arm 71 to which it is attached is returned to its original position, and the cash deposit/withdrawal port 7 is closed by the door body 50.

After that, through the series of normal deposit receiving operations described above with reference to FIG. 4A, this banknote bundle A...
It will be necessary to import one sheet at a time.

Next, referring to FIG.
Explain. 80 in the figure is a banknote temporary accumulation room,
The banknote temporary accumulation chamber 80 is formed by a guide plate 81 at the bottom and by mutually opposing surfaces of the conveyor belts 82 and 83 of the accumulation mechanism 37a and the take-out mechanism 37b at both side surfaces. Further, the above-mentioned take-out mechanism 37b has the following configuration. That is, of the pulleys 84 and 85 around which the conveyor belt 83 is placed on the left, a take-out roller 86 is provided coaxially with the pulley 85 located above. This take-out roller 86 is connected to the pulley 8
The take-out roller 86 is formed to have a slightly larger diameter than the pulley 85 so as to protrude from the surface of the conveyor belt 83 that is wrapped around the conveyor belt 83, and the upper end of this take-out roller 86 is connected to the reversing brake belt 8 as a means for preventing taking out multiple sheets.
It is close to 7.

On the other hand, a backup body 88 is provided nested in the right conveyor belt 82, and this backup body 88 has the same structure as the one provided opposite the deposit/withdrawal port 7 described above, and has a guide. Using the shaft 89 as a guide, banknotes A in the banknote temporary accumulation chamber 80 are transferred to the left conveyor belt 82 by spring force.
It is configured so that it can be pushed to the side or moved to a position farther back than the right conveyor belt 82 in order to retreat from the banknote temporary accumulation chamber 80.

Further, the accumulation mechanism 37a has the following configuration. That is, the right conveyor belt 82 is wrapped around a pulley 91 integral with an impeller 90 disposed opposite the take-out roller 86, a pulley 92 provided below the pulley 91, and a plurality of pulleys (not shown). This right conveyor belt 82 and the pulley 9 arranged above the banknote temporary accumulation chamber 80
3 and a conveyor belt 94 stretched around a pulley (not shown), the banknotes A sorted by the gate 39b are transferred to the banknote temporary accumulation chamber 80.
A branch path 38c of the banknote conveyance path 38 leading to is configured.

The banknotes A, which are held by the conveyor belts 82 and 94 and conveyed one by one, are held by the blades 90a and 90a of the impeller 90 rotating counterclockwise.
The tip is inserted between them, and the banknote temporary accumulation chamber 8 is opened in the same manner as in the case of the banknote loading/unloading device 15 described above.
It will be accumulated in a standing state within 0.

Further, after the temporary stacking is completed, in response to a bill removal signal, the banknotes A are taken out one by one with the upper end of the banknotes A, which was on the rear end side when being carried in, facing the front end, and are turned over. That is, as in the case of the above-mentioned bill taking in and taking out device 15, by the bill taking out signal,
As the left conveyor belt 83 travels in the direction of the arrow, the take-out roller 86 begins to rotate. Meanwhile, at the same time, the backup body 88 is moved 2
As shown by the dotted chain line, the banknote A is moved to the left and pressed against the take-out roller 86 and the left conveyor belt 83. Then, one bill is taken out one by one starting from the endmost bill A, and sent between conveyance rollers 95 and 96 that constitute a part of the branch path 38c of the bill conveyance path 38.

The presence or absence of banknotes A in the banknote temporary accumulation chamber 80 is detected by the "dark" and "bright" signals of the banknote presence/absence detector 41c.

10, 111 extraction tips 110a, 111
The suction holes 133 of a, 110b, 111b are also in a negative pressure state.

In this way, the half-rotation electromagnetic clutch 129 operates and the main shaft 100 rotates half a rotation, so that the tips 110a, 11 of the rotating rotors 110, 111 are taken out.
Adsorption hole 133 of 1a or 110b, 111b
... becomes a negative pressure, and the extraction chips 110a, 111
The foremost banknote A facing the movement path of a and 110b, 111b is vacuum-adsorbed and taken out as the rotors 110, 111 rotate.
It is designed to be fed between the conveyor belts 121, 122, 123 and a conveyor belt (not shown) superimposed on these conveyor belts 121, 122, 123. The intermittent operation of the half-rotation electromagnetic clutch 129 is performed by exciting a trigger magnet (not shown) to free the trigger pin.

Further, as shown in FIG.
is arranged so as to squeeze the banknote A and prevent the second and subsequent banknotes A from being taken out.

Note that the outer peripheral surfaces of the impellers 105 and 106 and the extraction tips 110a and 111a and 110b and 11
Although the outer peripheral surface of 1b is almost flush, the conveyor belt 12
Nos. 1, 122, and 123 are recessed by a considerable amount.

Next, the structure of the separator mechanisms 28, 29, 30, 31 as the partitioning means will be explained with reference to FIG. These separator mechanisms 28 and 31 have the same configuration. That is, the collected banknote storage section 23, the 1,000 yen banknote storage section 22, the 10,000 yen banknote storage section 21, and the 5,000 yen/excluded banknote storage section 20 each have banknote groups A accumulated on the pedestal 140...
A rectangular frame-shaped movable body 141 is provided to surround the. This movable body 141 is the guide rod 1
42, 143 so as to be able to reciprocate along the stacking direction of the banknotes A. This movable body 14
Three sets of flappers 143a, 143b, 143c each consisting of a pair of claws 142, 142 are arranged on both the upper and lower horizontal frame parts 141a, 141b of 1, and are held rotatably by 90 degrees by rotary solenoids 144, 145. has been done.

Further, a drive shaft 146 of a motor 146 having a reduction gear is located near one end of one guide rod 143.
A driving pulley 147 is attached to a, and a driven pulley 148 is disposed near the other end.
The movable body 141 has one end attached to the driving pulley 14.
Spring belt 14 fixed near 7 and folded back with its midway part wrapped around driven pulley 148
The other end of the wire 150, which has one end connected to the drive pulley 147, is connected to the other end of the wire 150, respectively. In a normal state, the initial position detector 1 is used to maintain the movable body 141 at a normal stop position.
51 and a forward position detector 152 are provided respectively, and the movable body 141 is stopped at this position. This movable body 141 normally receives a force pressing forward from the backup body 154, that is, against the stacking/retrieval devices 24, 25, 26 and the stacking device 27, by a pressing spring 153 through the stacked banknotes A in each tier. However, this force is only 1.2 even at the maximum stacking capacity of 1,400 sheets.
Kg/ ^cm2 , which is approximately 1/3 of the 3.5Kg/ ^cm2 force required to reversely rotate the motor 146, which has a 1/100 reduction gear, so even if the motor 146 is de-energized, Detector 151, 152 for each position
The camera will not be moved further forward than the position of.

In addition, the upper flaps 143a, 143b, 1
43c and lower flaps 143a, 143
b, 143c are the rotating rotors 110,
111 at a position through which the extraction tips 110a, 111a and 110b, 111b can pass, and
Conveyor belts 121, 122 between each claw 142, 142 of each flapper 143a, 143b, 143c,
123 is determined so that the movable body 141 advances to the forward position, each flapper 143a, 143b, 143c comes into contact with the stacking/retrieval devices 24, 25, 26 and the stacking device 27. Things like this no longer happen.

Further, the motor 146 drives the drive pulley 147 in the forward direction to wind up the wire 150, thereby retracting the movable body 141 with the flaps 143a, 143b, 143c attracted to the upper and lower horizontal frame portions 141a, 141b, respectively. Drive pulley 146
By driving the movable body 141 in the opposite direction, the movable body 141 is moved forward by the urging force of the spring belt 149.

Next, centering on Figure 2, move on to Figures 9 to 1.
Referring to Figure 1, the flow of banknotes A during the deposit operation is as follows:
Also, with reference to FIG. 12, banknotes A during the withdrawal operation...
The flow of banknotes A during the collection operation will be described with reference to FIG. 13.

First, the temporary accumulation operation and removal operation of deposited banknotes A will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2 and 9. First, the customer operates the deposit mode, and the door body 50 slides to open the deposit/withdrawal port 7 at the timing of depositing banknotes. Then, after the customer inserts the banknote bundle A into the banknote storage chamber 51 in a standing position with mixed denominations (front and back) from the deposit/withdrawal port 7, the customer slides the door body 50 to take the banknotes in and out as a signal that the banknote insertion is complete. Close the gold opening 7. Therefore, Figures 3 and 4
As described above with reference to the figure, the banknotes A in the banknote storage chamber 51 are taken in one by one via the take-in roller 57 starting from the endmost one. The taken-in banknotes A are counted by the first banknote passage detector 40a while shifting their passage, and are sent to the inspection section 30.

Here, banknote discrimination is performed using a completely different method from the conventional discrimination method that captures partial characteristics.
That is, the "short length" and "longitudinal length" of the entire banknote A, "magnetic pattern matching,""color separation of transmitted light," and "division matching of minute parts using reflected light."
While the bill passes through the inspection section 30, inspection is performed with four discrimination functions: ``bill type discrimination'', ``authenticity discrimination'', ``goodness/damage discrimination'', and ``front/back discrimination''.

As a result, banknote A, which was found to be "fake" in the authenticity determination,
In other words, when a banknote A is stacked, skewed significantly, or damaged and cannot be recognized as the correct banknote A, the leading end of the banknote A reaches the second banknote passage detector 40b. At this point, the first distribution gate 39a is rotated to the right, and the second distribution gate 39b is rotated to the left. Then, the rejected banknotes A that have reached the terminal end of the central conveyance section 38d are accumulated in the banknote temporary accumulation chamber 80 of the front-back reversing section 37 as shown by the broken line arrow. The rejected banknotes A are accumulated in the banknote temporary accumulation chamber 80 until the deposited banknotes A in the banknote storage chamber 51 facing the deposit/withdrawal port 7 are completely taken in. Then, when it is detected by the "bright" signal of the banknote presence/absence detector 41a that all banknotes A... in the banknote storage chamber 51 have been taken in, the rejected banknotes A... in the banknote temporary accumulation chamber 80 are transferred to the fifth banknote A. As described above with reference to the figure, the sheets are taken out one by one via the take-out roller 86 starting from the endmost one. Then, the bills are conveyed via the conveyance section 38e on the left side of the figure and accumulated in the banknote storage chamber 51 facing the deposit/withdrawal port 7 as described above with reference to FIG. 4B.

The rejected banknotes A accumulated in the banknote storage chamber 51 in this manner are taken in and conveyed again to be re-inspected.

On the other hand, the banknote A determined to be "true" in the authenticity determination is guided to the conveyance section 38f on the right side of the figure by the first sorting gate 39a as shown by the solid line arrow, and is then transferred to a banknote of 5,000 yen. Banknotes A pass through the third sorting gate 40c to the lower branch transfer section 38g leading to the 5,000 yen/excluded banknote storage section 20, and 10,000 yen bills A pass through the fourth sorting gate 39d to the 10,000 yen banknote storage section 20. The thousand yen banknotes A are transferred to the middle branch transfer section 38h leading to the banknote storage section 21, and the thousand yen banknotes A are transferred to the thousand yen banknote storage section 2 via the fifth sorting gate 39e.
3 to the upper branch transport section 38i. At this time, in each storage section 20, 21, 22, the separator mechanisms 28, 29, 30 are in the initial position, and both the upper and lower flaps 143a, 143b, 143c are holding the banknote A... , each accumulation/takeout device 24,
Temporary storage sections 32, 33, 34 on the front side of 25, 26
It is in a state where it has formed.

Therefore, the branch conveyance sections 38d, 38e, 38f
That is, the banknotes A that have been held and conveyed by the conveyor belts 121, 122, 123 and 126, 127, 128 are transferred to the stacking/retrieving devices 24, 25, 26 described above with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. The materials are accumulated in the temporary storage sections 32, 33, and 34 via impellers 105 and 106 rotating at low speed.

Next, a banknote storage chamber 51 facing the deposit/withdrawal port 7
When the banknote presence/absence detector 41a detects that all of the banknotes A have been taken in, the banknote presence/absence detector 41c detects whether or not there is a banknote A in the front-back reversing section 37, and if there is a banknote A, the above-mentioned The banknotes are returned to the banknote storage chamber 51 and taken in again for inspection. Also banknote A
If there is no banknote A, the machine enters a confirmation step and stores the temporarily stored banknotes A in each storage section 20, 21, 2.
2, or store the banknotes to be stacked together with the banknotes A...2, or automatically return them and deposit them in the deposit/withdrawal slot 7.
Let them decide whether to return it.

Next, the automatic return operation of the deposited banknotes A accumulated in the temporary storage units 32, 33, and 34 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2 and 10. First, the motors 146 of the separator mechanisms 28, 29, 30 are rotated to move the movable body 141 forward and drive it in the direction of the forward position detectors 152, 152, 152.

However, since these detectors 152 are set at positions where they work when the movable bodies 141 move forward the most when there are no temporarily stored banknotes, each flapper 143a, 143a is activated when banknotes A are accumulated.
When the banknotes 43b and 143c collide with the accumulated banknotes, the forward movement of the movable body 141 is stopped, and the wire 150 becomes slack. Since the drive motor 146 is a pulse motor, each stage drives the motor by the distance from the initial position to the forward position. In this state, wire 1
50 is slack, so the flaps of each stage 143
a, 143b, 143c are flaps 143a, 143 by the force of springs 153... together with the stacked banknotes A... in each tier by the back-up bodies 154... in each tier.
b, 143c to the accumulation/retrieval device 24, 2
5, 26 from the temporary storage section.

Here, the half-rotation electromagnetic clutches 129 of each stage are engaged to take in ten thousand yen banknotes A, five thousand yen banknotes A, and thousand yen banknotes A in this order, and transfer them to the banknote storage section 51 facing the deposit/withdrawal port 7. Accumulate.

The end timing of the loading operation of each stage is when the banknote presence/absence detectors 41d, 41e, 41f change to "bright", the separator mechanisms 28, 29, 30 reach the forward position detectors 152, 152, 152, and then After idling about 5 revolutions, when the banknote A is not conveyed to the passing detectors 40c, 40d, and 40e of the banknotes taken in from each stage, the process is terminated and the next operation is started. The flow of banknotes A at the time of deposit and return is shown by solid line arrows in FIG.

When the banknotes A... temporarily stored in this way are returned to the banknote storage chamber 51 facing the deposit/withdrawal port 7, the door body 50 slides as described above with reference to FIG. It is fed out all at once so that the upper end thereof protrudes from the deposit/withdrawal port 7.

Then, when the detector 41b that detects the presence or absence of banknotes A in the banknote storage chamber 7 turns "bright", it means that the automatically returned banknote has been received, and the motor 146 of each stage is driven to move the movable body 141 . . , each stage is returned to the initial position detected by the detectors 152, 152, 152, the series of operations is completed, and the motor 146 is turned off. In this way, the state returns to the state shown in FIG.

Note that the thickness of each flapper 143a, 143b, 143c is set so that the banknotes A... inside the separator mechanisms 28, 29, 30 will not be taken in together with the automatically returned banknotes A... It is desirable to make it thick, and it is safe if it is at least 10 to 15 mm thick. Also, for this reason, the flapper 143
It is better to use lightweight plastic such as polyacetal as the material for a, 143b, and 143c.

Even when the flaps 143a, 143b, 143c are advanced the most, the impellers 105, 106 are
There is a gap of 0.5 mm, and a front stopper (not shown) is attached to each separator mechanism 28, 29, 30 to maintain this gap.

Next, storage of deposited banknotes will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2, 8, and 11. After the loading is completed, the bill presence/absence detector 41a of the bill storage section 51 becomes "bright".
When the screen changes to , the confirmation step begins. At this time, press Confirm and after ON-LINE communication, if the acceptance is "OK", the rotary solenoid 144, 1 shown in Fig.
45 to operate the flappers 143a, 143b,
Rotate 143c to open both the top and bottom toward the water surface. In this way, the backup bodies 154, 15 of each stage

When the separator mechanisms 28, 29, 30 are driven by the motor 146 while the rotary solenoids 144, 145 are energized so that the separator mechanisms 43b, 143c are horizontal, the mechanism moves forward via the spring belt 149 since there is no resistance from the banknotes A. Reach forward position. (Status shown in Fig. 11) At this time, each flapper 143a, 143b, 143c is

It is rotated by 90 degrees and the claws 142 are in an upright state. When the motor 146 is rotated, the wire 150
The entire banknote group A is returned to the initial state again through the banknotes A.

(Situation in FIG. 2) Next, the case of withdrawal will be explained with reference mainly to FIG. 2 and FIG. 12.

After the denomination and amount of banknotes to be paid out are specified using the operation unit 9, the balance of the account is confirmed through ON-LINE communication. If the payment specification is within the range of the balance, preparation for withdrawal will begin. First, the flaps 143a, 143 of the separator mechanisms 30, 29 of the thousand yen bill storage section 22 and the million yen bill storage section 21
b, 143c to rotary solenoid 144, 14
5 to make it horizontal. In this way, as shown in FIG.
Banknotes A, A, which were held with a gap between them and the combination mechanism by b and 143c.
... are pressed by the pressing springs 153, 153 by the backup bodies 154, 154 until they come into contact with the accumulation/take-out devices 26, 25. Here, the separator mechanisms 30 and 29 remain at the positions detected by the initial position detectors 151 and 151 and are not moved forward by the motor 146.

This is the upper flapper 143a, 143b, 1
43c has no problem, but the lower flap 143a,
143b, 143c are belts 121, 122, 1
23, impellers 105, 106, and extraction tip 11
This is because it gets in between 0a, 111a or 110b, 111b and becomes a hindrance to taking in the banknote A.

First, a banknote A is taken out from the ten thousand yen banknote storage section 21. The vacuum pump is operated, the vacuum pressure increases, and the chips 110a, 111a, 110 are taken out through the hole 132 formed along the axis of the main shaft 100.
The suction holes 133 communicating with the holes 132 drilled in the holes 111b and 111b become negative pressure, thereby sucking the banknotes A between them and the brake belts 139, 139 for preventing double taking. are separated and taken into the transport section 385. A detector 40 detects that the taken banknote A immediately merges with the conveyance path 38
d is counted. In addition, since the detector 40d is installed in the position shown in the figure, even if the specified number of sheets are detected by the detector 40d, counted, and taken in immediately, and the half-rotation electromagnetic clutch 129 is turned OFF, one extra sheet will come out and it will always be rejected and the funds will be discarded. It becomes less efficient.

Therefore, the detector 40d continuously rotates the rotors 110 and 111 until the specified number of sheets minus 1 is counted. Thereafter, the rotating rotors 110 and 111 are driven half a rotation, and the detector 4 detects that the bill has been taken out.
When detected by 0d, all capture ends.

That is, if one sheet is designated to be dispensed, the rotating rotor 1 as a dispensing mechanism is operated regardless of the detector 40d.
10, 111 only half turn. The bills A taken out in this manner pass through the same bill inspection section 36 as the deposited banknotes, and are subjected to "bill type determination,""authenticitydetermination,""fitnessdetermination," and "front/back determination."

Regarding the above-mentioned ``bill type determination'', it is not necessary for the tickets that have been inspected at the time of deposit, but the clerk may set the missing amount, so it cannot be said that there are no setting errors, so it must be re-appraised at the time of withdrawal.

For the same reason, it is necessary to re-examine the "authenticity determination" at the time of withdrawal. Also, since the characteristics of banknote A cannot be obtained by normal stacking, the banknotes are treated in the same way as counterfeit banknotes.

Regarding ``determination of fitness'', it is desirable to accept deposits of genuine banknotes, no matter how dirty, as long as the type of banknote can be determined. These are called damaged banknotes and are returned to the Bank of Japan and disposed of.

However, in order to pay customers, it is absolutely necessary to avoid paying with these damaged banknotes. For this reason, when dispensing money, the entire banknote A must be inspected, and banknotes that are defined as damaged banknotes, such as stains, tears, repaired cellophane tape, or bent corners, must be rejected. These damaged banknotes that have been determined to be rejected are rotated by a rotary solenoid (not shown) to the left when the tip of the banknote A reaches the detector 40b as shown by the two-dot chain arrow in FIG. It is operated and guided to the transport section 385 on the right side in the figure. At this time, while the sorting gate 39c is taking out banknotes A, the solenoid is energized and rotates to the left, and the banknotes A are guided to the 5,000 yen/discarded banknote storage section 20 and accumulated.

In other words, the 5,000 yen/rejected banknote storage unit 20 only accepts and accumulates 5,000 yen banknotes at the time of deposit, but at the time of withdrawal, the rejected banknotes that are found to be inappropriate for payment as a result of inspection (the rejected banknotes are determined to be damaged banknotes as described above) It becomes a reject collection that accepts the tickets (issued tickets). In normal payment operation, once the specified number of coins is minus 1, the chip is removed and the tip is 110.
A, 111a, 110b, 111b and the rotating rotors 110 and 111 are rotated an additional half turn to dispense a predetermined number of bills, but if there is a reject bill as described above, this reject bill will not be counted. Continue the withdrawal operation.

Now, when the deposited banknotes A are stored in the banknote storage chamber 51 from the deposit/withdrawal port 7, they are usually front and back, forward and reverse, and mixed denominations, but at financial institution counters, when withdrawing money, they are always placed with the front side. It's on. Therefore, the genuine banknotes A rotate the sorting gates 39a and 39b to the right and enter the conveyance section 38a on the left side in the figure, but the banknotes A are " It is determined that the banknote is a reverse banknote by "front/back determination", and when the tip of the banknote A reaches the detector 40b, the sorting gate 39
b is rotated to the left in the figure and temporarily accumulated in the front-back reversing section 37.

The banknotes A on the front side are not guided to the front-back reversing unit 37, but are directly accumulated in the banknote storage chamber 51 facing the deposit/withdrawal port 7, as shown by the solid arrow in FIG. After all the specified number of ten thousand yen banknotes have been accumulated in the banknote storage chamber 51 or the front-back reversing section 37, the banknotes A in the front-back reversing section 37 are taken out toward the banknote storage chamber 51 and stacked.

In this manner, once the 10,000 yen bill A has been taken in from the 10,000 yen bill storage section 21, the same operation is performed for the 1,000 yen bill A from the 1,000 yen bill storage section 22. Then, the 1,000 yen banknotes A are stacked on top of the 10,000 yen banknotes A, and when all of the banknotes have been taken in, the conveyor belt 1
21, 122, 123, 126, 127, 128
and the vacuum pump is stopped, and the customer receives this bill A...
When the detector 41b detects that the
The motors 146 of the separator mechanisms 30 and 29 provided in the 1,000 yen bill storage section 22 and the 10,000 yen bill storage section 21 are rotated, and the separator mechanisms 30 and 29 are detected by the forward position detectors 152 and 152. After advancing the rotary solenoids 144 and 145 to OFF, the flapper 143a,
143b and 143c vertically and reinstall the motor 14.
6 is reversed and the separator mechanisms 30, 29 are pulled back via the wire 150 until they are detected by the initial position detectors 151, 151. Then, the state shown in FIG. 2 is established.

5,000 yen / Regarding the rejected banknote storage section 20, when a reject banknote A is received, the flaps 143a, 143 are done on the spot in exactly the same operation as the deposit accumulation operation.
After leveling the flaps 143a, 143c and advancing the separator mechanism 28, the flappers 143a, 143b, 14
3c is raised and the separator mechanism 28 is returned to its original initial position by a motor, thereby allowing deposited 5,000 yen banknotes A to be stacked together with withdrawal rejected banknotes A. Brake belt 13 to prevent taking out two bills A when taking out banknotes A using rotating rotors 110, 111 as a take-out mechanism
Since the banknotes A are squeezed and taken in one by one by the banknotes 9 and 139, the banknotes A are normally stopped with the leading edge of the banknotes slightly removed by the storage units 20, 21, or 22. Therefore, the rotary solenoids 144 and 145 for raising the upper and lower flaps 143a, 143b, and 143c are turned off.
If this operation is performed immediately after the completion of loading, there is a possibility that all the banknotes A cannot be returned to their original positions. For this reason, when only the main shaft 100 holding the rotary motors 110, 111 as a take-out mechanism is completed, it is reversed for a short time. In this way, the brake belts 139, 139 to prevent double removal and the removal tips 110a, 11
The banknote A whose head is slightly protruding due to being sandwiched between 1a, 110b, and 111b is also completely returned to the original storage section. In this state, if you raise the upper and lower flaps 143a, 143b, 143c, all banknotes A...
43c, the mark can be returned to the initial state.

Next, the case of forgetting and collecting items will be explained with reference mainly to FIGS. 2 and 13. If the banknote A is forgotten to be removed from the deposit/withdrawal port 7, that is, if the banknote presence/absence detector 41b does not become "bright" even after a predetermined period of time has elapsed, it is determined that the banknote A has been forgotten and the banknote A is removed.
... are taken into the bill storage chamber 51 as described above with reference to FIG. 4C, and the door body 50 is closed. and,
After that, the banknotes A... are taken in one by one and re-inspected, and as a result of the re-inspection, the banknotes A... that are determined to be genuine banknotes are transported as shown by the solid arrow and are transported to the collected banknote storage section (collected banknote storage section). storage) 23 in the temporary storage section 35.

On the other hand, banknote A that could not be identified at the time of re-inspection
... are once accumulated in the front-back reversing section 37 as shown by the broken line arrows, and then returned to the banknote storage section 51 facing the deposit/withdrawal port 7 and inspected again.

The reason for re-examining the forgotten banknotes A is that, although it is fine if you have forgotten all of them, you may have forgotten to take out some of them. This is bill A from deposit/withdrawal port 7...
If the banknote A on the opposite side of the customer is bent and fallen down after the banknote A is pushed out, the customer may pull it out without grasping the banknote A and leave the banknote A behind. Therefore, the machine re-inspects the item to recognize how much has been left behind.

The data at this time is recorded in the backup journal 160a, as will be described later with reference to FIG. 19, so that it can be clearly seen in which transaction how much was left behind.

Further, the forgotten banknotes A... are accumulated in the temporary storage section 35 of the collected banknote storage section (recovery warehouse) 23, and the previous banknotes are stored by the separator mechanism 31 as a partitioning means until the next time that the banknotes are left behind and are retrieved. The items are kept separated and stored separately, so that it is easy to deal with the situation when a customer realizes that they have forgotten something and comes to pick it up right away.

In addition, in the case of a banknote circulation type deposit/withdrawal device, it is important to make effective use of the banknotes A as much as possible.
If the machine can easily distinguish and memorize the amount and denomination by counting them as "genuine banknotes," instead of storing them in a storage mode, the two points shown in Figure 13 can be stored by switching the storage mode switch (not shown). As shown by the chain line arrows, the banknotes can be stored in storage units 20, 21, and 22 corresponding to the respective denominations, and only unrecognizable banknotes can be stored in the collected banknote storage unit 23.

If the above-mentioned method is adopted in the banknote circulation system, an ATM with high capital efficiency can be realized, but in the banknote circulation system, banknotes A... are circulated, so if you try to achieve detailed operation, the current storage compartments 20, 21, 22 ,2
It is important to know the amount of storage in step 3.

In other words, in the deposit unit and withdrawal unit of conventional ATMs, the amount of banknotes A for withdrawal is set as small as possible, and the ``empty reserve detection'' and ``empty detection'' are activated frequently, and the deposited banknotes are not deposited frequently. By withdrawing money and depositing it into the cashier, we have reduced the amount of funds stagnant within the ATM, increasing the efficiency of our branch operations.

However, in the circulation type, the storage section is also used for multiple purposes, so it can be used for "empty preliminary detection,""emptydetection," and "full preliminary detection."
and four “full detection” detectors 43, 42,
45 and 44 are installed, but the retention of banknotes A varies greatly depending on the balance of deposits and withdrawals.

When there are many deposits, it is inefficient to leave the system as it is until the preliminary full detector 45 and full detector 44 are activated. Modern safe cassettes have become larger so that they can be used for long periods of time, so about 20 million yen of money ends up being held up.

On the other hand, even when considering withdrawals, in the past, branches used to store data such as the day of the week and time of day to determine how much money would be lost and how long it would take, and if used properly, it would be possible to use the money at the last possible moment. It was possible, but if the deposited banknotes A are circulated to be used as the disbursed banknotes A, it becomes difficult to predict.

Therefore, the deposit amount, deposit denomination, withdrawal amount, withdrawal denomination, etc. are stored in the storage section 161, and the amount of banknotes in each safe cassette 16, 17, 18, 19, that is, in each banknote storage section 20, 21, is stored as appropriate. , 22, 23 may be displayed.

If the amount of banknotes in each banknote storage section 20, 21, 22, 23 is displayed on the internal monitor device 13 or remote monitor device 162 outside the machine, each banknote storage section 20, 21,
You can see the remaining amount of 22 and 23 at a glance, and in particular, you can prevent the occurrence of surplus funds.

Currently, the banknotes A... are set in the withdrawal box by an attendant, and the machine does not recognize how much is set, and the remaining amount is determined only when the empty reserve detector 43, empty detector 42, etc. detect it. It just shows the lack. Therefore, in order to comprehensively recognize the current remaining amount, it is necessary to make the machine recognize the number and denomination of the withdrawal banknotes A.

For example, there is a method of filling and replenishing withdrawal banknotes A from the deposit/withdrawal port 7 using a specific card and filling the banknote storage unit according to the normal deposit flow, and a method of filling the banknote A with the amount set by the staff. There is a method in which the denomination is stored in the machine by operating a specific key.

According to the former, the machine itself performs the inspection, so if a counting discrepancy occurs, the check item that asks if the number of sheets set is correct can be deleted, making the machine's own counting easier. As a result, mistakes will be eliminated.

The latter is set from the rear and internal monitor device 1
3, all you have to do is input the amount, so you can quickly perform the replenishment operation. In addition, replenishment of regular banknotes A...
This is done in bundles of 100 pieces, and banknotes A in this bundle
... is unlikely to be different from 100 sheets even without counting, so you can know the current price without losing the accuracy of the current level of scrutiny.

In addition, as for other methods of replenishing the withdrawn banknotes, there are cases where the collected banknotes are left in the collected banknote storage section 23 one day at a time.
Therefore, a stacking/retrieving device is also provided in the collected banknote storage section 23, and if collected banknotes A are accumulated in the collected banknote storage section 23, they should be removed and then replenished here. Another possible method is to set the banknotes A, take them in and inspect them by operating the internal monitor device 13, and then fill the banknotes.

The point is to have the machine memorize and calculate the loaded amount and denomination of the payout banknotes A by some method.

In addition, in the calculation, it is possible to consider what to do with the rejected banknotes A at the time of withdrawal. The above excluded banknotes A
... are the banknotes in the thousand yen banknote storage unit 22 and the ten thousand yen banknote storage unit 21, so they are "genuine banknotes," but they are banknotes that are rejected because they skewed when being taken in or because multiple sheets were taken. This is stored in the 5,000 yen/excluded banknote storage section 20, but skewed banknotes are usually one sheet, and multi-sheet banknotes are usually two sheets, so in calculations, skewed banknotes A are 1 sheet at a time. Sheet,
It is preferable to count two rejected banknotes A each time.

Next, the internal monitor device 13 will be explained with reference to FIG. The internal monitor device 13 is provided at the rear of the main body 2 of the cash deposit/withdrawal device 1 (see FIG. 1), and is operated in case of processing by an attendant from the rear, and is configured as follows. That is, the operation surface 163 is provided with a plurality of display lamps 164, . The numerical display section 165 has, for example, five digits to display, and normally displays the code representing the selected transaction type and the machine operation step number as one-digit numbers, and also displays errors in machine operation. When such an error occurs, the error code is displayed as a three-digit number, and when displaying the amount of storage media such as the remaining amount of paid bills, all digits are used. Further, the keyboard 166 is used for inputting various data and processing commands, or for displaying the storage amount of media, and a necessary operation key has a built-in display lamp 164. If necessary, the key can be turned on to indicate that the key press is valid. Note that 167 is a power switch for the entire machine, and 168 is a monitor device changeover switch.

Further, FIG. 15 shows the remote monitor device 16
2, which is installed in a location remote from the main body 2 (for example, a monitor room), and is capable of monitoring and processing the state of the machine in the same way as the internal monitor device 13. That is, the operation surface 169 includes display lamps 170, which have the same function as the internal monitor device 13, .
1 and a keyboard 172 are provided, and can be operated and monitored in the same manner as the internal monitor device 13. Furthermore, this remote monitor device 162 includes the deposit/withdrawal device 1 shown in FIG.
A plurality of automatic transaction machines are further connected to the outside of the machine, so that a single remote monitor device can monitor and control the plurality of automatic transaction machines. That is, on the operation surface 169, there is a machine number designation switch 17 for designating one of the plurality of machines.
3,... are provided, and when the staff member specifies the car he/she wishes to monitor and control using the car designation switch 173, the remote monitor device 162 will display the same display as the internal monitor device 13 of the specified car. ing.

FIG. 16 schematically shows the control system of the deposit/withdrawal device 1 described above. That is, 174 is a main control unit, 175 is a customer service control unit that controls the operation panel 3, and 176 is an input/output unit that controls the input/output mechanism 12 (taking in, paying out, counting banknotes, etc.). 177 is an internal monitor control unit that controls the internal monitor device 13;
178 is a remote monitor input/output control unit that controls the remote monitor device 162; 179 is a communication control unit that performs online communication with a deposit ledger of a center (not shown); each of these control units 175
to 179 are controlled by the main control section 174.
Although not shown, the main control section 174 is also connected to control sections of the card/slip processing unit 11 and the bankbook reading/printing device. Furthermore, the main control unit 174 is connected to a storage unit 161 that stores the denomination, number of banknotes A, etc. stored in each banknote storage unit 20, 21, 22, 23 in the deposit/withdrawal device 1. .

Next, the operation in such a configuration will be explained. Now, as an example, a method of displaying the remaining amount of bills to be paid and a method of inputting the number of bills to be set will be explained regarding the case where the remaining number of bills to be paid out is displayed. That is, when the clerk now checks the remaining amount (the number of stored bills) of bills A in the 10,000 yen bill storage section 21 that stores paid bills, using the internal monitor device 13, first, the changeover switch 168 of the internal monitor device 13 is pressed. Set to "internal". Next, after pressing the shift key on the keyboard 166, the safe cassette key is pressed, the remaining amount display key is pressed, and the 10,000 yen key is pressed.
At this time, in response to the depression of each operation key, the display lamp 180 built into the key is lit to indicate that each operation key is in a valid state. Further, the display unit 165 displays the number of ten thousand yen banknotes A stored in the ten thousand yen banknote storage unit 21 at that time. That is, the internal monitor control section 177
receives each input data from the keyboard 166 and supplies the input data to the main control unit 174. Upon accepting these input data, the main control unit 174 determines whether or not the input data is valid.
If it is determined that it is valid, the lighting data of the corresponding display lamp 180 is supplied to the internal monitor control section 177.
Thereby, the internal monitor control unit 177 lights up the display lamps 180 in the corresponding operation keys according to the lighting data. In addition, the main control unit 174 reads the remaining amount data stored in the storage unit 161 according to the input data, that is, in this example, the remaining amount data of the ten thousand yen banknote A in the ten thousand yen banknote storage unit 21, and is supplied to the internal monitor control section 177. As a result, the internal monitor control section 177 displays the remaining amount data on the display section 16 of the internal monitor device 13.
5. As a result of the above, the staff member
By visually observing the display contents of 65, it is possible to confirm the remaining amount of ten thousand yen banknotes A stored in the cash withdrawal box.

Next, a case where ten thousand yen banknotes A... are replenished into the ten thousand yen banknote storage section 21 will be explained. First, after performing the remaining amount display operation described above, press the banknote number input key.
and 10,000 yen key in sequence. Then, the shift key on the keyboard 166 is pressed again to enable numerical input from the keyboard 166. At this time, the display lamp 180 inside the shift key lights up.
Only the display lamps 180 in the safe cassette key, banknote number input key, and 10,000 yen key are lit. Next, the number of banknotes A that have been replenished into the ten thousand yen banknote storage section 21 is input using the numeric keys from 0 to 9 on the keyboard 166. This number of sheets can be entered in units of 10 sheets, for example, and if 1200 sheets are set, enter "120". If you make a mistake in the input data, press the clear key and then input the correct number of sheets again. As a result of the above, the internal monitor control section 177 supplies the input sheet number data 120 to the main control section 174. Then, the main control section 17
4 outputs sheet number display data 1200 corresponding to the supplied sheet number data 120 to the internal monitor control unit 177.
supply to As a result, the internal monitor control section 17
7 displays the sheet count display data on the internal monitor device 17.
7 on the display section 165. Here, the staff member visually checks the displayed content 1200, and if the displayed content is correct, presses the shift key again.
After that, the banknote number input key is pressed. As a result, the internal monitor control section 177 supplies the key press signal to the main control section 174, and thus the main control section 17
4 is stored in the storage unit 161. The remaining amount data of the ten thousand yen banknotes A in the ten thousand yen banknote storage unit 21 is rewritten to the input number data 1200, and the internal monitor control unit 177 is instructed to turn on the display lamp 180 in the safe cassette and the ten thousand yen key. A signal for turning off the light and initializing the display unit 165 is supplied. As a result of the above, the data on the remaining amount of ten thousand yen banknotes A in the storage section 161 is the same as the number of ten thousand yen banknotes in the ten thousand yen banknote storage section 21.

A flowchart of the above operations and operations is shown in FIG. 17.

Although the display of the remaining amount of 10,000 yen banknotes A and data rewriting accompanying replenishment have been described, the same can be done for other denominations as well.

In addition, when using the remote monitor device 162, set the changeover switch 168 of the internal monitor device 13 to "remote" and turn the desired designation switch 73 of the machine designation switches 173 of the remote monitor device 162 to "on". After that, you can perform the same operation as described above.

On the other hand, the deposit/withdrawal device 1 records information such as date, transaction type, transaction type specified by the customer, bank number, branch number, account number, validity code, number of denominations, transaction amount, time, guidance information, etc. for each transaction. The contents are stored on two stacked journal sheets 160, 160' via the card/slip processing unit device 11, one part is wound up on a reel 181 as a backup journal 160a, and the other part is stored as shown in FIG. form of slip 160
b) The slip is sent to the slip issuing port 6 as needed, that is, when a transaction is carried out without using a passbook. Note that the slip 160b that no longer needs to be issued is stored in the slip storage box 182.

In addition, as mentioned above, if you forget to take banknotes A..., the date, transaction type, transaction type, bank number, store number, account number, denomination and number of bills you forgot to take,
Contents such as the validity code, time, and the words "Receive a reminder" are recorded via the card/slip processing unit device 11, and a part of it is created as a forgotten memo slip 160b as shown in FIG. ' in the slip storage box 182 so that its contents can be clearly seen at a later date.

Next, the card/slip processing unit device 11 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 20 and 21. The card/slip processing unit device 11 reads the customer information recorded on the magnetic stripe (not shown) of the magnetic card 183 inserted from the card insertion slot 5, and also reads the transaction details and information formed on the embossed part 183a of the magnetic card 183. are printed on two stacked journal sheets 160, 160' made of pressure-sensitive paper, and a copy journal 160a and a slip 160b are created as described above.

That is, as shown in FIG. 20, when the magnetic card 183 is inserted from the card insertion slot 5, the card detector 184 detects the insertion of the magnetic card 183. Then, the shutter 185 opens and the drive system of the card transport path 186 begins to move. At this time, the magnetic card 183 is still being conveyed manually by the customer, but the magnetic head 187 detects whether or not there is magnetic information on the magnetic stripe provided on the magnetic card 183. If it is detected that there is no magnetic information, the card transport path 18
The conveyor belts 188 and 189 forming the magnetic card 183 are reversely rotated, and the magnetic card 183 is conveyed at a constant speed by the conveyance operation of the card conveyance path 186 until the rear end is detected by the card detector 184. The presence or absence of information is detected again.

Even if the card is detected again, it is determined that there is no magnetic information, and the card is returned to the card insertion slot 5 as not being a regular card.

On the other hand, the magnetic card 183 determined to have magnetic information by the first or second detection is conveyed in the direction of arrow X through the card conveyance path 186, and the magnetic information is read by the magnetic head 190 during this conveyance.

The magnetic card 183 from which the magnetic information has been read is conveyed to an embossing station section 191 and stopped while being held between rollers 192 and 193.
(The solid line arrows in FIG. 20 indicate the flow of the magnetic card at this time.) As shown in FIG. are in a state of opposition. That is, the two stacked journal papers 160, 160' are stored in the paper storage box 194 in a band shape for multiple transactions and in a zigzag shape for each transaction, and the first journal paper 160 is After being wrapped around the conveyance sprocket 195, the printing section 196 and the embossing station section 19
1. Sequentially passing through the separating section 197 to the backup journal 160
The tip thereof is wound around a take-up reel 181 as indicated by a.

Further, the second journal paper 160' is passed around the conveying sprocket 195, and then sequentially passes through the cutter section 198, the printing section 196, the embossing station section 191, and the separating section 197.
It is designed to be conveyed to the direction changing section 199 as a slip 160b. (The broken line arrow in FIG. 21 shows the flow of the slip 160b at this time.) When the magnetic card 183 is set in the embossing station section 191, the printing section 196
Then, the customer information and transaction details from the magnetic card 183 are printed by the dot head 196a of the printing section 196 on two journal sheets 160, 160', that is, a copy journal 160a and a slip 160b.

The copy journal 160a and the slip 160b are fed a predetermined amount after the rear end of the slip 160b is cut by the cutter portion 198, so that the first printing position thereof is opposed to the dot head 196a. And each journal paper 160,
The conveying operation of the dot head 160' and the printing operation of the dot head 196a are synchronized to print over a plurality of lines. Then, when printing of the last line is completed, the copy journal 160a and the slip 160b are conveyed by several tens of millimeters to a position where the leading edge of the slip 160b is held between the conveyance roller 200 and the pinch roller 201. At this time, the backup journal 160a
The embossed printing part of the slip 160b superimposed on this is the embossing station part 19.
It is in a state opposite to the embossed part 183a of the magnetic card 183 of No. 1.

Next, the transfer roller 202 of the embossing station section 191 moves to the left in the figure as shown by the dashed-dotted line arrow in FIG.
and press the slip 160b against the embossed part 183a,
Visual information attached to the magnetic card 183, ie, customer name, bank number, store number, account number, etc., is pressure-sensitive printed. To detect the position of the transfer roller 202 at this time, the position of the roller support arm 203 is detected by the detector 2.
This is done by detecting at 04 and 205.

Next, after the emboss information is transferred, only the conveyance roller 200 rotates, and this conveyance roller 200 rotates.
A slip 160b whose tip is pinched between the roller 0 and the pinch roller 201 is fed out, and transferred to the direction changing section 1 via a pair of conveying rollers 206 and 206 rotating at high speed.
Sent to 99.

Next, the pinch rollers 207, 207 provided above this direction changing part 199 move the slip 160b.
is pressed against the conveyor belts 208, 208, after which the conveyor belts 208, 208 run, and the magnetic card is taken in the card conveyance path 186 (direction of arrow X).
The sheet is conveyed in the opposite direction, sent into the switchback section 210 via the gate 209, and held in a pinched state by the conveyor belts 208, 208 and the pinch roller 211.

After this, the pinch roller 211
The slip 160b is moved counterclockwise in the figure to pass between the conveyor belts 208 and 208.
08 and the conveyor belt 212, which is disposed oppositely and out of phase with the conveyor belt 212, 2.
13,214 runs, slip 160b
is sent to the slip issuing port 6. (The dashed arrow in FIG. 20 shows the flow of the slip at this time.) Then, the leading edge of the slip 160b is detected by the detector 215, and the shutter 216 is opened, and the rear end of the slip 160b is detected by the detector 215. When it is detected by
The rear end of b is the conveyor belt 213 and the pinch roller 21
It is held in a sandwiched state with 7.

If the slip 160b is not removed even after a predetermined period of time has elapsed, it is collected in the slip storage box 182 as a forgotten slip.

Note that in the case of a passbook transaction, there is no need to issue the slip 160b, so the slip 160b once sent to the switchback unit 210 is transferred to the pinch roller 21.
By reversing the conveyor belts 208, 208 while pressed at step 8, the slips are stored in the slip storage box 182. At this time, the forgotten slip 160b and the slip 160b stored in the slip storage box 182 because they do not need to be issued can be clearly identified because the front and back sides are reversed.

On the other hand, the backup journal 160a is wound around a tension roller 219 and then taken up by a take-up reel 181.
Depending on the tension of 0a, the tension roller 219
The support arm 220 of the support arm 220 is adapted to be oscillated. By detecting this amount of displacement with a detector 221, the drive motor 222 of the take-up reel 181 is controlled to appropriately wind up the backing journal 160a so as to maintain a substantially constant tension.

On the other hand, the forgotten memo slip 160b' described above with reference to FIG. 19 is printed and then stored in the slip storage box 182 in the same manner as in the case of a bankbook transaction.

In addition, there is a so-called ticket exchange in which banknotes are changed into banknotes with completely different patterns every predetermined period (10 to 15 years). I'm starting to let them do it.

For this reason, this device includes a banknote circulation prohibition switch 46.
By turning on this switch 46 at the time of ticket exchange, etc., all the old banknotes are stored in the 5,000 yen/excluded banknote storage section 20, and this storage section 20 is used as a deposit box. On the other hand, new banknotes are set in the 10,000 yen banknote storage unit 21 and the 1,000 yen banknote storage unit 22,
It is now used exclusively for withdrawals.

Also, at this time, an inspection section 36 inspects the deposited banknotes.
The system does not detect whether or not the unit is in good condition.

In addition, it is possible to reliably prevent the issue of old banknotes deposited at the time of banknote exchange being issued to the customer.

Note that each bill storage section 22, 21 stores a thousand yen bill A... or a ten thousand yen bill A... as a withdrawal bill.
When the stored amount of banknotes decreases, an empty reserve detector 43 operates to notify the staff to replenish the banknotes to be withdrawn, so as not to interfere with the withdrawal transaction. Conversely, the storage amount of banknotes A in the banknote storage units 22, 21 increases, and the full reserve detector 43 operates, so that the deposit transaction is not hindered.

Conventionally, when the empty detector 42 and the full detector 44 were activated, the machine would stop, and the clerk would replenish or remove the banknotes A. However, in the device of the present invention, even if the fullness detector 44 detects that the banknotes A in the 1,000 yen bill storage section 22 or the 10,000 yen banknote storage section 21 are full, the device does not stop. The transaction is allowed to continue until the clerk takes out the bill A. That is,
Thousand yen bill storage section 22 or million yen bill storage section 21
If it is detected that the bank is full, it means that there are enough banknotes to be withdrawn, so there is no problem with the withdrawal transaction, and the transaction can be continued as is. Also,
In deposit transactions, the deposited banknote A... is stored in the 5,000 yen/rejected banknote storage that stores the 5,000 yen banknote A that is unsuitable for withdrawal and the rejected banknotes (including damaged banknotes of 1,000 yen and 10,000 yen banknotes). If the unfit notes are stored in the section 20 in the same way as if the level of unfit notes is tightened, the deposit transaction can be continued.

Further, if a withdrawal transaction is performed after the fullness detector 44 detects the fullness, the fullness detection may be canceled.

In addition, in the description of the above-mentioned embodiment, a banknote circulation type in which deposited banknotes are used as disbursed banknotes has been described, but it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to this.

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.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention is a banknote circulation type in which deposited banknotes are used as disbursed banknotes, and the device can be made smaller compared to the conventional system in which a depositing unit and a dispensing unit are provided together.

In addition, by having a deposit/withdrawal port that serves as both a deposit and withdrawal port, there is only one bill handling port, which makes it easier to use without causing confusion for customers.

Furthermore, since the taking-in means for taking in banknotes and the stacking means for accumulating banknotes in the banknote storage chamber are arranged to sandwich the banknote storage chamber, each means can apply sufficient conveyance force to the banknotes. In addition, since the section for taking out bills from the bill storage chamber and the section for introducing bills into the bill storage chamber are separate, bills can be reliably taken in and stacked.

Furthermore, when deposited banknotes are inserted from the deposit/withdrawal port, the backup body moves to the second position in the banknote storage chamber toward the stacking means, so that the deposited banknotes do not get caught in the stacking means or fall into the conveyance path. You can definitely accept it without feeling depressed.
When taking in banknotes, the back-up body moves to a third position displaced toward the taking-in means in the bill storage chamber, thereby pressing the banknotes in the bill-storing chamber against the taking-in means, so that the banknotes can be reliably taken in by the taking-in means. Become. Furthermore, when dispensing money and returning deposited banknotes, the backup body moves to the first position evacuated from the banknote storage chamber, allowing the stacking means to perform a reliable stacking operation. In this way, it is possible to effectively take in and accumulate banknotes at the handling opening.
