Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a teller deposit/withdrawal device that performs cash deposit/withdrawal processing at a counter of a financial institution through operations by a customer or a staff member of the financial institution.

[Conventional technology]

As a teller device used in banks and other financial institutions, it allows customers to insert and receive cash so that tellers can make deposits and withdrawals with customers without direct intervention. A counter deposit/withdrawal device has been proposed that is equipped with a deposit/withdrawal slot for customers and a deposit/withdrawal slot for staff to allow tellers to insert and receive cash. This helps reduce the burden on people.

In addition, this teller deposit/withdrawal device is operated as an automatic deposit/withdrawal device in an unmanned store after the financial institution's business hours, and is operated efficiently.

FIG. 2 is a schematic side sectional view showing the internal structure of a conventional teller deposit/withdrawal device of this type. Banknotes input from the deposit/withdrawal port 102 into the rotating unit 103 are transferred to the separation and feeding unit 104, where they are separated one by one and fed to the conveyance path 105. is sent to the discrimination section 107 via the path 106,
The discrimination unit 107 discriminates the authenticity, fitness, denomination, etc. of each banknote.

The banknotes that are determined to be genuine and genuine in the discrimination unit 107 are accumulated by denomination in temporary stacking units 111 and 112 through conveyance paths 108, 109, and 110, and are also determined to be genuine but unfit bills. The collected banknotes are accumulated in the temporary accumulation section 113.

Then, banknotes that are determined to be counterfeit and banknotes that cannot be identified pass through conveyance paths 108, 114, and 115, and are accumulated in a stacking section 116, from which they are transferred to a rotating section 103.
and returned to the customer through the customer deposit/withdrawal port 102.

Here, when the customer judges whether or not to approve the transaction and inputs a transaction approval signal, the banknotes accumulated in the temporary stacking sections 111, 112, and 113 are stored in each of the banknote storage boxes 117, 118, and 119. It is taken in and stored.

On the other hand, if a signal indicating that transaction approval is not permitted is input, the banknotes that were accumulated in the temporary accumulation sections 111, 112, 113 are transferred to the conveyance paths 110, 120, 106,
The money passes through the discrimination section 107 and the conveyance paths 108, 114, and 115 and is accumulated in the accumulation section 116, from which it is returned to the rotation section 103 and returned to the customer through the customer deposit/withdrawal port 102.

Next, when withdrawing money to a customer, the banknote storage box 117,
Bills are dispensed one by one from 118 in accordance with the requested number of bills to be dispensed, and the dispensed bills are sent to the discrimination section 107 through conveyance paths 110 and 120.

Then, this discrimination unit 107 determines the denomination and withdrawal suitability.
Banknotes that are determined to be invincible and suitable are transferred to conveyance path 1.
After passing through 08, 114, and 115 and being accumulated in the accumulation section 116, the money is transferred from there to the rotating section 103 and paid to the customer through the customer deposit/withdrawal port 102.

Further, the banknotes determined to be invincible by the discrimination section 107 are collected into the reject storage box 121 through the conveyance paths 108 and 109.

Deposits or withdrawals by the teller are made through the customer deposit/withdrawal port 102, the rotating section 103, and the accumulating section 11.
6, a depositing section 123 and a dispensing section 12 of an attendant's deposit/withdrawal port 122 provided on the upper part of the attendant's side of the device housing 101 opposite to the customer service surface.
4 using almost the same procedure.

After the financial institution has finished its business, the customer service side and the staff side of the device housing 101 are shut off with a shutter 126.
In this state, deposit/withdrawal transactions are executed by the customer's operations in the same manner as described above.

In such a teller deposit/withdrawal device, a teller interacts with customers during business operations at a financial institution, and the customer deposits and withdraws returned bills and paid bills into the customer deposit/withdrawal slot 102.
If the customer does not take out the banknote, the teller will warn them on the spot, so the customer will not forget to take out the banknote.
When a counter deposit/withdrawal device is used as an automatic deposit/withdrawal device in which only the customer performs deposit/withdrawal transactions after the end of business, there is a risk that the customer may forget to take the returned banknotes or the paid banknotes.

Therefore, as shown in the conventional art, a receiving box 125 is provided below the rotating part 103 located inside the customer deposit/withdrawal port 102, and when a customer forgets to take out banknotes, the banknotes are placed in the receiving box 125. I try to import and store it.

[The problem that the idea aims to solve]

However, the conventional teller deposit/withdrawal device described above has the following problems.

In other words, if the forgotten banknotes of multiple customers are taken into the receiving box and mixed together, it becomes impossible to distinguish between them, so the number of forgotten banknotes taken into the receiving box is only one.
If a customer forgets to take out a banknote twice during the period when the machine is operated as an automated teller machine after business hours, the second left banknote will be stored in the rotating part and the machine will be operated again. There was a problem that I had to stop.

Possible ways to avoid this situation include providing multiple receiving boxes or increasing the size of the receiving box, but both of these lead to an increase in the size of the entire device, and moreover, it is necessary to collect forgotten bills each time. , a means, method, etc. for distinguishing the banknotes from other forgotten banknotes is required, which complicates the configuration and control and leads to an increase in costs.

The present invention was made to solve these problems, and when the device is operated without a teller after the financial institution's business ends, the deposit/withdrawal port for the teller will not be used, and the banknotes will not be used. We focused on the fact that forgetting to take out the money does not occur that often, and taking advantage of this fact, we developed a system to attach it to the teller deposit/withdrawal slot without increasing the size of the device or complicating the configuration and control. To realize a teller deposit/withdrawal device configured to be able to take in forgotten banknotes twice, and to enable only a withdrawal transaction when the forgotten banknotes occur twice, thereby minimizing the operational stoppage of the device. The purpose is to

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve this objective, the present invention includes a deposit/withdrawal port for customers provided on the customer service side of the device, a deposit/withdrawal port for staff provided on the staff side of the device located on the opposite side from the customer service side, It is equipped with a discrimination unit that determines the authenticity, denomination, fitness, front and back, etc. of banknotes, and a plurality of banknote storage boxes that store banknotes by denomination, and is equipped with a banknote storage box that stores banknotes according to denomination. The banknotes inserted from the money slot are transported one by one to the discrimination section, and based on the results of discrimination such as authenticity, banknotes that can be deposited are transported to the plurality of banknote storage boxes and stored by denomination, and banknotes that cannot be deposited are The banknotes are returned to the customer deposit/withdrawal slot or the staff deposit/withdrawal slot, and the bills taken out from the bill storage box during a withdrawal transaction are conveyed one by one to the discrimination unit, and are determined to be available for withdrawal. In the teller deposit/withdrawal device that transfers and withdraws banknotes to the customer deposit/withdrawal port or the staff deposit/withdrawal port, the teller deposit/withdrawal device is provided at the customer deposit/withdrawal port to accept banknotes inserted by the customer and to accept banknotes returned to the customer. A customer-side stacking unit is provided for accumulating bills to be withdrawn and the deposit/withdrawal slot for the staff member, and is provided for accepting the deposited banknotes by the staff member, stacking bills to be withdrawn for the staff member, and for receiving banknotes inserted from the deposit/withdrawal slot for the customer. an attendant-side stacking section that stacks banknotes determined to be unfit by the discrimination section; and a returned bill stacking section that is provided adjacent to the clerk-side stacking section at the clerk deposit/withdrawal opening and that stacks banknotes to be returned to the clerk. , a detection means for detecting forgotten banknotes in the customer-side stacking section; and a detection means for detecting banknotes left behind in the customer-side stacking section; When the detection means detects the banknotes left behind by the customer for the first time, the forgotten banknotes are transferred from the customer side stacking section to the returned banknote stacking section and stored, and the detection means collects the leftover banknotes in the customer side stacking section. When the banknotes left behind by the customer are detected for the second time, the banknotes are transferred from the customer-side stacking unit to the staff-side stacking unit and stored, and further deposit transactions are canceled and only withdrawal transactions are performed. The present invention is characterized by comprising a control means for controlling to enable.

[Operation] The present invention, which has the above-mentioned means, allows the customer who made the transaction to If the returned banknotes or the withdrawn banknotes accumulated in the stacking section are forgotten, and the detection means detects this, the forgotten banknotes are transferred from the customer side stacking section to the returned banknote stacking section of the deposit/withdrawal slot for the staff member. store.

Similarly, when a second forgotten bill occurs and the detection means detects it, the forgotten banknote is transferred from the customer-side stacking section to the staff-side stacking section of the clerk's deposit/withdrawal slot and stored therein. Deposit transactions will be canceled and only withdrawal transactions will be possible.

Therefore, this eliminates the need for a conventional receiving box, and it is possible to increase the number of times forgotten banknotes are taken in to two times without increasing the size of the device or complicating the configuration and control. Therefore, if you close the deposit/withdrawal slot for staff and conduct transactions only through the deposit/withdrawal slot for customers, even if you forget to take out banknotes twice, you will still be able to make withdrawal transactions. Operational stoppages can be reduced.

〔Example〕

Next, the operation of the above-described configuration will be explained for each transaction.

However, in the following description, it is assumed that the operation of the apparatus is controlled by a control means (not shown).

First, a case will be explained in which a customer deals with a teller during business operations at a financial institution.

(Deposit transaction from customer deposit/withdrawal port) When depositing from the customer deposit/withdrawal port 2, when a teller or customer inputs a customer deposit transaction signal into the device, a shutter 4 provided at the customer deposit/withdrawal port 2 is activated. will open, allowing you to insert deposited banknotes.

Here, when the customer inserts banknotes all at once from the customer deposit/withdrawal port 2 into the customer side stacking section 5, the banknotes received in the customer side stacking section 5 are detected by a detection means (not shown), and the shutter 4 is thereby activated. close.

Thereafter, the banknotes are transferred to the separating and feeding unit 6 by a transfer means (not shown), and the banknotes are separated one by one by the separating and feeding unit 6 and fed to the conveyance path 29, and the banknotes are conveyed through the conveyance path 29 and the conveyance path 30 to the discrimination unit 12. The identification unit 12 determines authenticity, fitness, denomination, front and back, etc.

In this discrimination section 12, banknotes that are determined to be genuine, regular, and front-facing are allowed to be deposited and are passed through conveyance paths 31, 32 to temporary stacking sections 16, 17,
18 are accumulated by denomination, and genuine bills that are damaged, require reversal, or are of a denomination that is not eligible for withdrawal (for example, 500 yen) are allowed to be deposited and transferred to conveyance paths 31 and 33. Through accumulation means 1
1 is accumulated in the staff-side accumulation section 8. At this time, the shutter 7 of the cash deposit/withdrawal port 3 for the clerk is in a closed state.

Further, in the discrimination section 12, banknotes that are determined to be counterfeit banknotes and banknotes that cannot be identified are returned to the customer-side stacking section 5 through the conveyance paths 31, 33, 34, and 35 as non-depositable banknotes, and sent to the separating and feeding section. After the processing of banknotes 6 is completed, the shutter 4 is opened and the banknotes returned to the customer-side stacking section 5 are returned to the customer.

Here, the transaction is confirmed to the customer, and when the customer or the teller inputs a signal indicating that the transaction can be approved, the partition plates 19, 20, and 21 are opened, and the items are accumulated in the temporary accumulation sections 16, 17, and 18. The banknotes that have been stored are taken into the banknote storage boxes 13, 14, and 15 and stored therein. Further, the banknotes accumulated in the staff-side stacking section 8 are separated and fed one by one to the conveyance path 33 by the separating and feeding means 10.
After passing through 4 and 30, the front and back sides have been reversed, and the discrimination section 12
sent to. Then, the valid banknotes that are determined to be front by the discrimination section 12 are stored in the banknote storage boxes 13, 14, and 15 by denomination through the conveyance paths 31 and 32, and the banknotes that are determined to be unfit banknotes are conveyed. The banknotes are stored through the path 31 into the unfitted note storage box 25, and further, the banknotes determined to be double-fed are stored into the reject note storage box 26, respectively.

On the other hand, if a signal indicating that the transaction cannot be approved is input, the banknotes accumulated in the temporary stacking units 16, 17, and 18 are separated and fed one by one to the conveyance path 32 by the separation and feeding means 22, 23, and 24. It is then returned to the customer-side stacking section 5 through the conveyance path 32 and the conveyance path 35. Further, the banknotes stacked in the staff-side stacking section 8 are also separated and fed to the conveyance path 33 by the separating and feeding means 10, and from there are returned to the customer-side accumulation section 5 through the conveyance paths 34 and 35.

After each banknote is returned to the customer-side stacking section 5 in this manner, the shutter 4 is opened and the banknote is returned to the customer.

(Deposit transaction from the clerk's deposit/withdrawal port) When depositing money from the clerk's deposit/withdrawal port 3, when the teller or the customer inputs the clerk deposit transaction signal into the device, the shutter 7 of the clerk's deposit/withdrawal port 3 opens. , it becomes possible to insert deposited banknotes.

Here, when the teller inserts banknotes all at once from the clerk's deposit/withdrawal port 3 into the clerk's side stacking section 8, the bills received in the clerk's side stacking section 8 are detected by a detection means (not shown), and the bills are transferred to the separating and feeding means 10. are separated and fed to the conveyance path 33 one by one. Then, these banknotes are sent to the discrimination section 12 through the conveyance paths 33, 34, 30, and the discrimination section 12 determines whether they are genuine or not, whether they are good or bad.
The denomination, front and back, etc. are determined.

In this discrimination section 12, banknotes that are determined to be genuine, regular, and front-facing are allowed to be deposited and are passed through conveyance paths 31, 32 to temporary stacking sections 16, 17,
18, banknotes are collected by denomination, and banknotes that are genuine but damaged, require reversal, or are of a denomination that is not eligible for withdrawal (for example, a 500 yen note) are allowed to be deposited and transferred to conveyance paths 31 and 33. , 34, and 35, the sheets are turned inside out and then stacked in the customer side stacking section 5. At this time, the shutter 4 of the customer deposit/withdrawal port 2 is in a closed state.

Further, in the discrimination section 12, banknotes that are determined to be counterfeit and banknotes that cannot be identified are transferred to a conveyance path 31,
36, the banknotes are collected in the return banknote stacking section 9, and returned to the teller.

Here, when the customer confirms the transaction and the teller or the customer inputs a signal indicating that the transaction can be approved, each partition plate 19, 20, 21 opens and the items are accumulated in the temporary accumulation sections 16, 17, 18. The banknotes that have been stored are taken into the banknote storage boxes 13, 14, and 15 and stored therein. Further, the banknotes accumulated in the customer-side stacking section 5 are transferred to the separating and feeding section 6, from which they are separated and fed one by one to the conveyance path 29, and then passed through the conveyance paths 29 and 30 to the discrimination section 12. Sent. Then, the valid banknotes determined to be front by the discrimination unit 12 are transferred to the conveyance path 3.
Banknote storage boxes 13 and 1 for each denomination through 1 and 32
4 and 15, respectively, and banknotes that are determined to be unfit are stored in the unfit note storage box 25, and banknotes that are determined to be skewed, double-fed, or close to each other are stored in the reject note storage box 26. be done.

On the other hand, if a signal indicating that the transaction cannot be approved is input, the banknotes accumulated in the temporary stacking units 16, 17, and 18 are separated and fed one by one to the conveyance path 32 by the separation and feeding means 22, 23, and 24. This conveyance path 32, the conveyance path 30, the discrimination section 12, and the conveyance path 3
1 and 36, and are stacked in the returned banknote stacking section 9. Further, the banknotes accumulated in the customer-side stacking unit 5 are also separated and fed to the conveyance path 29 by the separating and feeding unit 6, and from there, the banknotes are returned through the conveyance path 30, the discrimination unit 12, and the conveyance paths 31 and 36. It is accumulated in the accumulation section 9.

After each banknote is returned to the return banknote stacking section 9 in this manner, the shutter 7 is opened and the banknote is returned to the teller.

(Withdrawal transaction to customer deposit/withdrawal port) When withdrawing money from the customer deposit/withdrawal port 2, when a teller or customer inputs a customer withdrawal transaction signal into the device, each partition plate 19, 20, 21 opens. The banknote storage boxes 13, 14, and 15 are opened, and banknotes can be withdrawn from the banknote storage boxes 13, 14, and 15 according to the amount requested for withdrawal.
3, 14, 15 are separated and fed by means 22, 2.
3 and 24, the conveyance path 32 is moved by the required number of sheets one by one.
Separated and fed to. These banknotes are sent to the discrimination unit 12 through the conveyance path 30, and after the discrimination unit 12 determines the denomination, skewed feeding, double feeding, closeness, etc., the banknotes that are determined to be able to be withdrawn are Conveyance path 31, 33, 3
4 and 35, and are accumulated in the customer side accumulation section 5. Further, banknotes that are determined to be skewed, double-fed, close to each other, etc. cannot be withdrawn, and are stored and collected through the transport path 31 in the unfit note storage box 25 or the reject note storage box 26. When the banknotes accumulated in the customer-side stacking unit 5 reach the requested withdrawal amount, the customer-side deposit/withdrawal port 2
shutter 4 is opened and banknotes are withdrawn to the customer.

(Withdrawal transaction to staff deposit/withdrawal port) When withdrawing money from the staff deposit/withdrawal port 3, when the teller or customer inputs a customer withdrawal transaction signal into the device, each partition plate 19, 20, 21 opens,
It becomes possible to withdraw banknotes from the banknote storage boxes 13, 14, 15, and the banknotes in each banknote storage box 13, 14, 15 are separated and fed by means 22,
23 and 24, transport path 3 for the required number of sheets one by one.
It is separated and fed to 2. These banknotes are conveyed through the conveyance path 30.
After the banknotes are sent to the discrimination section 12 through the discrimination section 12, and the discrimination section 12 determines the denomination, skewed feeding, double feeding, closeness, etc., the banknotes that are determined to be normal are sent to the conveyance path 31, as being able to be withdrawn.
33 to the staff side stacking section 8 by the stacking means 11.
are accumulated in Further, banknotes that are determined to be skewed, double-fed, close, etc. cannot be withdrawn and are stored in the unfit note storage box 25 or the reject note storage box 26 through the conveyance path 31. When the banknotes accumulated in the staff-side stacking section 8 reach the requested withdrawal amount, the staff deposit/withdrawal port 3
Shutter 7 opens and the banknotes are withdrawn to the teller.
Passed from teller to customer.

Next, a case will be described in which the teller deposit/withdrawal device is operated as an automatic deposit/withdrawal device that performs transactions only by customer operations after the financial institution's business ends.

Incidentally, since the deposit transaction operation and withdrawal transaction operation of the device are the same as those described above, only the operation when the customer forgets to take out banknotes, which is a unique effect of the present invention, will be described here.

(Retrieval of banknotes left behind by the customer) A banknote detection sensor, time monitoring circuit, etc. (not shown) detects whether a customer has forgotten to take out a banknote returned during a deposit transaction or a banknote withdrawn during a withdrawal transaction from the customer deposit/withdrawal slot 2. When detected, the shutter 4 is closed and the forgotten banknotes are transferred from the customer side stacking section 5 to the separating and feeding section 6. Then, the bills are separated and fed one by one from the separating and feeding section 6 to the conveyance path 29, and from this conveyance path 29, they are accumulated in the return banknote stacking section 9 through the conveyance path 30, the discrimination section 12, and the conveyance paths 31 and 36. be done. At this time, the cash deposit/withdrawal port 3 for the attendant is not in use and the shutter 7 is closed, so the operation of the device continues without being stopped.

Next, when the transaction is repeated and a banknote is left behind for the second time, the same detection as described above is performed, the shutter 4 is closed, and the banknote left behind is transferred from the customer-side stacking unit 5 to the separating and feeding unit 6. be transferred. At this time, the banknotes are separated and fed from the separating and feeding section 6 through the conveyance path 29, and then are accumulated in the staff-side accumulation section 8 by the accumulating means 11 through the conveyance path 30, the discrimination section 12, and the conveyance path 33.

In other words, the forgotten banknotes can be taken in twice by the returned banknote stacking section 9 and the staff-side stacking section 8.

In this way, when the second retrieval is performed, the deposit transaction is canceled because the clerk-side stacking section 8 cannot be used as a stacking section for temporarily accumulating unfit notes and counterfeit notes during a deposit transaction. Since the withdrawal transaction can be performed without using the clerk-side accumulation section 8, the operation of the device can be continued.

At this time, the shutter 7 of the deposit/withdrawal port 3 for the staff member is
is closed as described above, so the staff side accumulation section 8
Also, the accepted banknotes accumulated in the returned banknote stacking section 9 are not pulled out from the outside.

Next, the supply and collection of banknotes will be explained.

Each banknote storage box 13, 14, 15 needs to be replenished with banknotes to be dispensed before operating the device, and it is also necessary to collect banknotes from each banknote storage box 13, 14, 15 during inspection, etc. However, collection and replenishment of banknotes is performed via the bulk safe 27.

(Replenishment of banknotes) After loading banknotes of mixed denominations into the bulk safe 27 and installing the bulk safe 27 in the device housing 1, when the teller inputs a replenishment instruction signal, the banknotes in the bulk safe 27 are The banknotes are separated and fed one by one by the separating and feeding means 28 and sent to the discrimination section 12 through the conveyance paths 33, 34 and 30.

The banknotes that are determined by the discrimination section 12 to be genuine, regular, and front banknotes are stored in banknote storage boxes 13, 14, and 15 by denomination through conveyance paths 31 and 32. At this time, the partition plates 16, 17, and 18 are open, and are closed when all the banknotes have been supplied.

On the other hand, banknotes that are determined by the discrimination section 12 to be counterfeit, unfit, or reverse are stored in the unfit note storage box 25 or the reject note storage box 26 through the conveyance paths 31 and 32, respectively.

(Collection of banknotes) In the case of collection, when the teller inputs a collection instruction signal, the partition plates 19, 20, 21 are opened, and the banknotes in the banknote storage boxes 13, 14, 15 are separated and fed for each denomination. The means 22, 23, 24 sequentially transport the conveying path 32.
Separated and fed to. These banknotes are sent to the discrimination section 12 through the conveyance paths 32 and 30, and the discrimination section 12 discriminates the denomination. Here, banknotes whose denominations have been confirmed are stored in the bulk safe 27 or unfit note storage box 25 through the conveyance path 31, and banknotes whose denomination is unknown due to skew or double feeding are stored in the conveyance path 31.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, the present invention prevents the customer from forgetting to collect the first item accumulated in the customer side accumulation section when the cash deposit/withdrawal slot for the staff is closed and transactions are carried out only through the deposit/withdrawal slot for the customer. When the detecting means detects a banknote, the forgotten banknote is transferred from the customer-side stacking section to the returned banknote stacking section and stored, and the detecting means detects the second missed banknote when the banknote is accumulated in the customer-side stacking section. When a banknote is detected, the banknotes that have been left behind are transferred from the customer-side stacking section to the staff-side stacking section and stored therein, and control is performed so that future deposit transactions are canceled and only withdrawal transactions are possible. .

Therefore, this eliminates the need for a conventional receiving box, and it is possible to increase the number of times forgotten banknotes are taken in to two times without increasing the size of the device or complicating the configuration and control. As a result, even if a banknote is forgotten twice, only a withdrawal transaction is possible, thereby reducing the number of interruptions in the operation of the apparatus due to a banknote being forgotten.

In addition, in this invention, as mentioned above, the banknotes left by the customer are collected and stored in the staff-side stacking section on the side of the staff deposit/withdrawal port and the returned banknote stacking part. It also has the effect of not interfering with the replenishment and collection of materials.
