[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an automatic banknote deposit and withdrawal device that automatically processes banknote deposits and withdrawals, and is particularly applicable to tellers (counter staff) of financial institutions who interact with customers. This invention relates to an automatic bill depositing and dispensing device installed inside a customer service counter.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 3 is a schematic configuration diagram showing a conventional automatic banknote depositing and dispensing device of this type, and in the figure, 1 is a housing of the device.

This housing 1 has a customer unit 2 that protrudes upward.
are integrally formed, and the customer unit 2 cannot be pulled out of the housing 1.

Further, the inside of the housing 1 is divided into an upper unit 3, a middle unit 4, and a lower unit 5 as shown by the dashed line, and each of these units 3 to 5 is connected to a guide (not shown) provided in the housing 1. They can be pulled out from the housing 1 toward the teller side as shown by arrows A, B, and C, respectively, using rails or the like.

Here, the customer unit 2 has a deposit/withdrawal section 6 for inserting banknotes by the customer, returning bills to the customer, and withdrawing money. A deposit separating section 7 separates banknotes sent in bulk and feeds them out onto a conveyance path (to be described later); a receiving section 8 stores banknotes forgotten by the customer when withdrawing money;
A depositing section 9 into which the teller inserts banknotes, and a dispensing section 10 through which the teller returns banknotes and withdraws money are provided.

Inside the middle unit 4, there is an aligner mechanism 11 for bringing deposited banknotes and disbursed banknotes closer to the transport reference surface, and a mechanism 2 for detecting double feeding of banknotes.
A weight detection section 12 and a discrimination section 13 for discriminating the presence or absence of skewed banknotes, authenticity, fitness, denomination, etc. of the banknotes are provided, and the lower unit 5 is further provided with a discriminating section 13 for determining the presence or absence of skewed banknotes, the authenticity of banknotes, fitness, denomination, etc. Safes for storing, for example, ten thousand note safe 14 for storing ten thousand yen banknotes, one thousand note safe 1 for storing one thousand yen banknotes
5. A 5,000-bill banknote safe 16 for storing 5,000-yen banknotes, and banknotes of various denominations can be stored all at once in order to replenish and collect the banknotes for each denomination 14 to 16. A replenishment collection box 58a,
Reject box 58b that accommodates reject banknotes that are extremely skewed or whose denomination cannot be identified during withdrawal processing.
A bulk safe 58 comprising a banknote box 58c for storing damaged banknotes and the like during deposit processing is provided together with banknote feeding means and stacking means (not shown).

Furthermore, each of the above-mentioned units 3 to 5 is provided with a conveyance path 17 consisting of an endless belt, rollers, etc. that rotates while sandwiching banknotes, and this conveyance path 17 and the components 6 to 16 described above are connected to each other. The structure is such that banknote deposits and withdrawals are automatically performed.

Reference numeral 18 is a low counter section, 19 is a high counter section, and 20 is a front plate, which constitute a customer service counter where a teller serves customers. He is learning how to jump up.

Further, on the low counter section 18, a keyboard 21 for teller operation and a display device 22 are placed together with a slip shelf (not shown), etc., and the high counter section 19 is provided with a transaction opening for customers to make deposits and withdrawals. 23 are provided.

In the above configuration, when installing the banknote automatic deposit/withdrawal device at a customer service counter, the keyboard 21, display device 22, etc. are removed from the low counter section 18, the low counter section 18 is flipped up, and then the paper automatic Push in the case 1 of the bill depositing and dispensing machine device from the teller side so that the customer unit 2 is directly below the high counter section 19, and then return the low counter section 18 to its original position.
A keyboard 21, a display device 22, etc. are placed on the screen 8.

By doing this, the customer unit section 2 of the automatic bill depositing and dispensing device enters between the low counter section 18 of the customer service counter and the front plate 20, thereby fixing the automatic bill depositing and dispensing device to the customer service counter. The state will be as follows.

In this state, a teller who receives a request from the customer or the customer himself or herself performs a transaction using the automatic banknote deposit/withdrawal device, but the banknote deposit/withdrawal process in this case is performed in the same manner as before, so the explanation thereof will be omitted here. do.

By the way, the above-mentioned automatic banknote deposit/withdrawal device has a structure in which the upper unit 3, middle unit 4, and lower unit 5 are pulled out from the housing 1 toward the teller side, so that the device cannot be removed from the customer service counter. These units 3~ without removal
In addition to performing maintenance and inspection on the units 3 to 5, if a jam or other failure occurs during deposit or withdrawal processing, each unit 3 to 5 can be pulled out from the housing 1.
Banknotes being processed in each unit 3 to 5 can be collected and recovery work can be performed relatively easily.

However, if the above-mentioned failure occurs during the deposit process, the banknotes being processed for deposit have not yet been registered as deposit information on the financial institution side, so all these banknotes will be collected and returned to the customer who owns them. At this time, banknotes may be present in both the deposit/withdrawal section 6 in the customer unit 2 and the deposit separation section 7 of the upper unit 4.

The reason why banknotes are present in both the deposit/withdrawal section 6 and the deposit separation section 7 during the deposit processing is as follows.

That is, as is well known, in this type of automatic banknote deposit/withdrawal device, when a customer inserts a banknote into the transaction port 23 provided in the high counter section 19, the inserted banknote is taken into the deposit/withdrawal section 6, and this deposit/withdrawal process takes place. Kanebe 6
The money is sent to the deposit separation unit 7 all at once.

Then, the banknotes are separated one by one by the deposit separation unit 7 and sent to the conveyance path 17, and then passed through the aligner unit 11, mechanical double detection unit 12, and discrimination unit 13, and finally the genuine banknotes are The notes are sorted and stored in the ten thousand note safe 14, the thousand note safe 15, the five thousand note safe 16, and the unfit note box 58c of the bulk safe 58. At that time, the mechanical double detection unit 12 detects two
Banknotes for which double feeding has been detected, banknotes for which extremely skewed feeding has been detected by the discrimination unit 13, and banknotes for which the denomination cannot be determined are returned to the customer in the deposit/withdrawal unit 6 in sequence.
After all the inserted banknotes have been verified, they are returned to the customer through the transaction opening 23.

Therefore, if a large number of banknotes have been inserted by the customer, it is natural that banknotes may exist in both the deposit/withdrawal section 6 and the deposit separation section 7.

In this state, a failure such as a jam of banknotes may occur inside any one of the upper unit 3, middle unit 4, and lower unit 5. Therefore, conventional automatic banknote deposit and withdrawal devices have the following problems. There is.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

That is, in the conventional automatic banknote deposit/withdrawal device, the customer unit 2 is provided with a shutter (not shown), and this shutter does not open for a certain period of time during normal banknote insertion, return, and withdrawal processing during deposit processing. It is always closed and the banknotes in the deposit/withdrawal section 6 cannot be removed unnecessarily, so that banknotes are present in both the deposit/withdrawal section 6 of the customer unit 2 and the deposit separation section 7 of the upper unit 3. If a jam or other problem occurs while the banknotes are being held, it is impossible to collect the banknotes in the deposit/withdrawal unit 6.

Therefore, in such a case, the banknotes in the deposit/withdrawal section 6 of the customer unit 2 are transferred to the deposit/withdrawal section 7 of the upper unit 3.
If the banknotes are taken into the bank, the upper unit 3 can be pulled out of the housing 1, making it possible to collect the banknotes.
When the banknotes in the deposit/withdrawal section 6 are fed into the deposit/withdrawal section 7 while there are also banknotes in the deposit/withdrawal section 7 of the upper unit 3, the banknotes fed from the deposit/withdrawal section 6 in the deposit/withdrawal section 7 collide with each other. Because it gets old,
Banknotes from the deposit/withdrawal section 6 cannot be reliably taken into the deposit/withdrawal section 7, and not only that, but banknotes sent from the deposit/withdrawal section 6 get stuck between the customer unit 2 and the upper unit 3, making collection more difficult. The problem arises.

Therefore, in order to collect the banknotes in the deposit/withdrawal section 6 of the customer unit 2, first pull out the upper unit 3 from the housing 1, collect the banknotes in the deposit separation section 7 together with the other banknotes present in the upper unit 3, After the deposit separating section 7 is emptied by this, the upper unit 3 is returned to the housing 1, and then the banknotes in the deposit/withdrawal section 6 are fed into the deposit separating section 7, and then the upper unit 3 is returned to the upper unit 3.
A method is adopted in which the banknotes are collected by pulling them out of the housing 1.

However, with this method, the middle unit 4 must also be taken in and out when the upper unit 3 is put in and taken out, so the upper unit 3 and the middle unit 4 must be taken in and out twice each. There are problems in that it places a burden on the worker and takes time to collect the banknotes.

The present invention has been made to solve these problems, and even if a failure occurs in the device when there are banknotes in both the deposit and withdrawal section of the customer unit and the deposit separation section of the upper unit, the It is an object of the present invention to realize an automatic banknote depositing and dispensing device that can easily and quickly collect banknotes in a gold section and can reduce the burden on a collection worker.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention divides the inside of the device housing into a customer unit that cannot be pulled out from the housing and a plurality of units that can be pulled out, and provides the customer unit with In addition to providing a deposit/withdrawal section for taking in inserted banknotes, returning banknotes to customers, and withdrawing money,
1 banknote sent in bulk from this deposit/withdrawal department
The plurality of drawable units are provided with a deposit separation section that separates and sends bills one by one, a discrimination section that discriminates the authenticity of bills, denominations, etc., and denomination-specific safes that store bills according to denomination. Among the banknotes sent from the deposit separation unit to the discrimination unit during the deposit process and verified for authenticity, denomination, etc., the banknotes that cannot be deposited are returned to the deposit/withdrawal unit, and the banknotes that can be deposited are returned to the verification unit. An automatic banknote deposit/withdrawal device that sends banknotes to separate denomination safes and, when a jam or other failure occurs, pulls out each unit other than the customer unit out of the housing and collects the banknotes that are being deposited in each pulled-out unit. In the above, the deposit/withdrawal unit sends banknotes in bulk to the deposit/separation unit, and also collects banknotes sent from the validation unit during deposit processing and in a state where the banknotes are present in the deposit/withdrawal unit and the deposit/separation unit. a first conveyance means that rotates so as to take in banknotes reversely fed from the deposit separation section into the deposit/withdrawal section when a jam or other failure occurs; and a banknote receiving means that presses the banknote against the first conveying means when feeding the banknote to the money separating section, and retreats in a direction away from the first conveying means except when feeding the banknote to the money separating section. is disposed below the bill receiving means so as to face the first conveying means, and the banknotes are sandwiched between the banknotes and the first conveying means and sent to the deposit separation section, and also sent from the discrimination section. a second conveyance means that rotates so as to sandwich the banknotes and the banknotes reversely fed from the deposit separation section between the second conveyance means and the first conveyance means and take them into the deposit/withdrawal section; It rotates together with the conveying means of No. 2 to press the banknotes sent from the discrimination section to the banknote receiving means side so as not to interfere with the taking in of banknotes sent back from the charge separation section, and also to push the banknotes sent from the discrimination section backward from the charge separation section. A ring belt is provided to stack the incoming banknotes on the banknotes on the banknote receiving means side to form one banknote bundle, and the deposit separating section is provided with a ring belt for stacking the incoming banknotes on the banknotes on the banknote receiving means side. The banknote is characterized by comprising a reverse feeding means that rotates to take the banknote into the bank and transport the banknote back to the deposit/withdrawal section when a jam or other failure occurs, and a pressing means that presses the banknote against the reverse feeding means. do.

[Effect]

According to the present invention having the above-described configuration, when a failure such as a jam occurs while there are banknotes in the deposit/withdrawal section and the deposit separation section during deposit processing, the bill in the deposit/withdrawal section is pressed against the banknote by the reverse feeding means. The funds are pressed against the bank and sent back to the deposit/withdrawal section all at once by this reverse transport means.

Then, the reversely fed banknotes are taken into the deposit/withdrawal section by the first and second conveyance means, and the ring belt is used to stack the banknotes on the banknotes on the banknote receiving means that have already been evacuated in the direction away from the first conveyance means. After that, this bundle of banknotes is sent all at once to the deposit separation section, and then each unit other than the customer unit is pulled out of the housing, and all the banknotes that the customer has inserted and which are being deposited are separated into each unit. Collect from.

Therefore, according to this, if a jam or other failure occurs with banknotes present in the deposit/withdrawal section and the deposit/deposit separation section during deposit processing, the banknotes present in the deposit/withdrawal section of the customer unit that cannot be pulled out of the housing will also be removed. It is possible to easily collect the money in a short time, and the unit including the deposit separation part only needs to be withdrawn once, so the burden on the operator can be reduced.

It protrudes from the surface of the third plate 54 and can move together with the third plate 54 in the direction of the arrow, that is, toward the second plate 46 .

Note that the other configuration of this embodiment is the same as that shown in FIG.

Next, the operation of the above-mentioned structure will be explained with reference to the operation process diagrams shown in FIG. 1 and FIGS.

First, when a customer makes a deposit, the stopper 27
It rotates approximately 90 degrees from the position shown by the solid line in the figure to the position shown by the broken line, and crosses the space between the first plate 24 and the first conveyor belt 28.

In this state, after the shutter (not shown) of the customer unit 2 opens, the customer presses the high counter 19 (third
When 57 bundles of banknotes are thrown into the transaction port 23 provided in the transaction port 23 (see figure), the bundles of banknotes 57 hit the stopper 27 and are received.

When the bundle of banknotes 57 is received by the stopper 27 in this manner, the banknote receiving rollers 25a to 25c are moved integrally with the first plate 24 a certain distance toward the first conveyor belt 28, whereby the banknotes 57
The end of the bundle of bills 57 is clamped between the uppermost bill receiving roller 25a and the escape roller 32 supporting the first conveyor belt 28, but at this time, the end of the bundle of bills 57 is Because the conveyor belt 28 is pushed, the levers 31 and 34 are moved by the spring 3
Each support shaft 30, 33 resists the tensile force of 6, 37.
The levers 31 and 34 are rotated around the
an escape roller 32 held at one end of the
35 escapes along with the first conveyor belt 28 by a certain amount in the moving direction of the bill receiving rollers 25a to 25c.

As a result, the first conveyor belt 28 separates from the second conveyor belt 39, creating a gap equal to the thickness of the bundle of banknotes 57 between them.

In this state, the stopper 27 rotates in the opposite direction as shown in FIG. 2 and returns to the initial position, and then the drive roller 29 rotates clockwise and the drive roller 40 rotates counterclockwise. The first conveyor belt 28 and the second conveyor belt 39 each rotate and run.

As a result, the bundle of banknotes 57 is first drawn downward by the first conveyor belt 28, passes between the banknote receiving roller 25b and the banknote receiving roller 25c, and then passes between the first conveyor belt 28 and the second conveyor belt 28. The banknotes 57 are sandwiched between the banknotes 57 and the transport belt 39, and the bundle of banknotes 57 is fed into the deposit separating section 7 by the first transport belt 28 and the second transport belt 39, as shown in FIG.

At this time, the drive roller 5 has already been moved on the deposit separation unit 7 side.
2 begins to rotate counterclockwise, and as a result, the third conveyor belt 51 rotates and is clamped by the third plate 54 and rollers 55, 56, so that the first conveyor belt 28 and Banknotes 57 that are held and sent by the second conveyor belt 39
The bundle is smoothly guided onto the lower plate 47.

When the bundle of banknotes 57 is fed onto the lower plate 47 of the deposit separation unit 7 in this way, the travel of the respective transport routes 28, 39 and 51 is stopped, and then as shown in FIG. The plate 46 moves toward the pick-up roller 48 together with the third plate 54, and the bundle of banknotes 57 is pressed against the pick-up roller 48.

In this state, the pick-up roller 48, feed roller 49, and reverse roller 50 rotate clockwise, so that the pick-up roller 48 first moves the bill 57 onto the lower plate 47.
The bill 57 is fed out from above and is sandwiched between the feed roller 49 and the reverse roller 50.

Here, when only one banknote 57 is fed out by the pick-up roller 48, the feed roller 49 feeds the banknote 57 to the conveyance path 17 against the force of the reverse roller 50, but when two or more banknotes 57 are fed out If the feed roller 4
Only the banknotes 57 that are in direct contact with the banknotes 9 are sent out to the conveyance path 17, and the other banknotes 57 are pushed back by the reverse roller 50 rotating in the same direction as the feed roller 49.

Therefore, the banknotes 57 are always separated one by one and sent to the conveyance path 17.

The second plate 46 moves toward the third plate 54 as the banknotes 57 are fed out by the pick-up roller 48, so that the banknotes 57 on the lower plate 47 are pressed against the pick-up roller 48 with a constant pressure. .

Now, the banknotes 57 sent to the conveyance path 17 are
It is conveyed to the aligner mechanism 11 shown in the figure, and after being brought closer to the conveyance reference surface (not shown) and corrected to the normal conveyance posture, it is sent to the discrimination section 13 via the mechanical double detection section 12. .

The banknotes 57 that are determined by the discrimination unit 13 to be genuine and reusable for withdrawal are
After being sent to the conveyance path 17, they are sorted by denomination and accumulated in the temporary holding sections of the 10,000-note safe 14, 1,000-note safe 15, and 5,000-note safe 16, and genuine notes are used for withdrawal. The banknotes 57 that are determined to be unfit bills are sent to the replenishment collection box 58a of the bulk safe 58 and accumulated in the temporary holding section.

Incidentally, if the transaction is concluded later, the banknotes 57 accumulated in this temporary holding section are transferred to the unfit banknote box 58c.

On the other hand, banknotes 57 for which double feeding has been detected by the mechanical double detection unit 12, banknotes for which extremely skewed feeding has been detected by the discrimination unit 13, and banknotes 57 of unknown denomination are transported as banknotes to be returned to the customer. Deposit/withdrawal section 6 via Route 17
will be reverted to.

At this time, as shown in FIG.
5c It retreats in the direction away from the first conveyor belt 28 and retreats to the initial position, and then rotates in the opposite direction with the first conveyor belt 28 and the second conveyor belt 39 in contact with each other. It's running.

That is, the drive roller 29 rotates counterclockwise and the drive roller 40 rotates clockwise,
The first conveyor belt 28 and the second conveyor belt 39 are rotated by the driving rollers 29 and 40 in the opposite direction to the direction in which the bundle of banknotes 57 is conveyed to the deposit separating section 7.

Further, the ring belt 45, which is sandwiched between a coaxial roller 43 and an auxiliary roller 44, which rotate together with the drive roller 29, rotates clockwise while deforming into an irregular shape as the coaxial roller 43 rotates.

Therefore, the banknotes 57 conveyed from the discrimination section 13 by the conveyance path 17 are held between the first conveyance belt 28 and the second conveyance belt 39 and taken up onto the lower plate 26, and then transferred by the ring belt 45. It is pressed toward the bill receiving rollers 25a to 25c.

In this way, the banknotes 57 are accumulated on the lower plate 26 of the deposit/withdrawal unit 6, but if the banknotes 57 remain on the lower plate 47 of the deposit/separator 7 during this time, they continue to be fed out.

Therefore, as shown in Figure 2, the deposit/withdrawal section 6
and the lower plates 26 and 47 of the deposit separation unit 7, respectively.
In a state where there are a plurality of banknotes 57 on each side, that is, in a state where bundles of banknotes 57 are present in the deposit/withdrawal section 6 and the deposit separation section 7, respectively, the upper unit 3, the middle unit 4, and the lower unit shown in FIG. If a failure such as a bill jam occurs in any of the banknotes 57, the banknotes 57 are collected in the following manner in this embodiment.

First, the operation of each part in the casing 1 is stopped, and after a display section (not shown) indicates to the customer that a failure has occurred, the third plate 5 constituting the pressing means is pressed.
4 and banknote pressing rollers 55, 56 are integrated into the second
to the plate 46 side.

At this time, the second plate 46 is holding a bundle of banknotes 57 between it and the pick-up roller 48,
Therefore, the third plate 54 and the bill pressing roller 5
5 and 56, the bundle of banknotes 57 is also held between the banknote pressing rollers 55 and 56 and the second plate 46.

After that, the third plate 54 and the banknote pressing rollers 55, 56 further move toward the second plate 46, and at the same time, the second plate 46 retreats and returns to the initial position, and in this way, the second plate 4
6 returns to the initial position, the third conveyor belt 51 constituting the reverse feeding means protrudes from the front side thereof, so the bundle of banknotes 57 is pressed against this third conveyor belt 51, and the third conveyor belt 51 51 and the bill pressing rollers 55, 56.

In this state, as shown in FIG.
2 rotates clockwise, the third conveyor belt 51 runs, and thereby the bundle of banknotes 57 is conveyed upward and backward.

As this bundle of banknotes 57 is conveyed upward, its leading end is held between the first conveyor belt 28 and the second conveyor belt 39 that are already running, but at this time, the third The conveyor belt 51 is the support shaft 3
Lever 31, 34 rotating around 0, 33
The escape rollers 32 and 35 held by the banknotes escape and separate from the second conveyor belt 39, so that the leading edge of the banknote 57 smoothly moves between the first conveyor belt 28 and the second conveyor belt 39. The bundle of banknotes 57 is sandwiched between the banknotes 57 and conveyed by both conveyor belts 28 and 39 to a position above the lower plate 26 of the deposit/withdrawal section 6 and taken in therein.

At this time as well, the bundle of banknotes 57 is collected by the ring belt 45, which is rotated clockwise by the coaxial roller 40, as shown in FIG. Since the banknotes 57 are pressed against the banknote receiving rollers 25a to 25c so as not to be disturbed, the bundle of banknotes 57 reversely fed from the deposit separation unit 7 is transferred to the lower plate 26.
It is stacked on top of the bundle of banknotes 57 stacked above,
merge into one bundle.

Here, the rotational movement of each of the conveyor belts 28, 39, and 51 is stopped, and then the bill receiving rollers 25a to 25c move again to the first conveyor belt 28 side together with the first plate 24, and the bill receiving rollers Rollers 25a to 25c and first conveyor belt 28
After the merged bundle of banknotes 57 is sandwiched between the banknotes and the banknotes, this bundle of banknotes 57 is sent to the deposit separation unit 7 in the same procedure as when the customer inserts the banknotes (see FIG. 2). It will be done.

In this way, the bundle of banknotes 57 is transferred to the deposit separating section 7.
After being fed into the bank, the upper unit 3, middle unit 4, and lower unit 5 are pulled out, and the teller side collects all banknotes 57 inserted by the customer that are being deposited from each unit 3 to 5, and then Equipment recovery work is carried out.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, in the present invention, when a jam or other failure occurs with banknotes present in the deposit/withdrawal section and the deposit separation section during deposit processing, the bill in the deposit/withdrawal section is pushed by the reverse feeding means. The banknotes are pressed against the banknotes, and are then sent back to the deposit/withdrawal section in a batch by this reverse feeding means, and the reversed bills are taken into the deposit/withdrawal section by the first and second conveying means. The banknotes on the banknote receiving means that have been evacuated in the direction away from the banknotes are stacked with a ring belt to form one bundle, and after this bundle of banknotes is sent all at once to the deposit separation section, each unit other than the customer unit is removed from the housing. All banknotes inserted by the customer during the deposit process can be recovered from each unit.

Therefore, according to this, if a jam or other failure occurs with banknotes present in the deposit/withdrawal section and the deposit/deposit separation section during deposit processing, the banknotes present in the deposit/withdrawal section of the customer unit that cannot be withdrawn from the housing can be removed. This has the effect of making it possible to easily collect money in a short time, and it also has the effect of reducing the burden on the operator because the unit including the deposit separation part only needs to be withdrawn once. .
