JPH0887634A - Paper money ejecting and collecting mechanism - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: To provide the paper money ejecting and collecting mechanism with which paper money jamming at the time of collection can be prevented from being generated. CONSTITUTION: The paper moneys to be paid out to a customer are stacked inside a paper money stack space 7a and afterwards, they are ejected to the customer by opening a shutter 8 and a guide. When the customer misses to pick up dispensed paper moneys 9, after the shutter 8 and the guide are closed, a push-out plate 10 provided behind the guide is moved so that the missed paper moneys are pushed into the reduced paper money stack space 7b. Afterwards, the shutter and the guide are moved, a paper money moving space up to a collection box is opened, and the paper moneys 9 are dropped into the collection box. The paper money stack space 7b selects the driving amount of the push-out plate 10 so as not to be interferred with a moving track 11 at the top end of the guide and therefore, the paper moneys 9 are in contact with the top end of the guide under driving in the middle of dropping into the collection box.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention dispenses banknotes to a customer, and when the customer forgets to collect the banknotes, a part of a guide constituting a space for stacking the banknotes is driven to collect the banknotes. The banknote discharging and collecting mechanism of the automatic cash handling apparatus having a function of collecting the forgotten banknotes into the collecting box, particularly during the collecting operation of the forgotten banknotes, the banknotes moving to the collecting box are
A banknote ejection plate that operates the banknote push-out plate that operates the attitude or moving direction of the banknote so that it does not come into contact with the end of the guide that is being driven. Regarding the recovery mechanism.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the prior art, in Japanese Patent Application No. 6-8132, there is a technique for driving a part of a guide forming a space for stacking banknotes to recover a banknote left behind in a recovery box. Although it has been proposed, regarding the banknote jam that occurs between the forgotten banknote moving to the collection box and the driving guide,
The preventive measures are not considered enough. Further, in the above technology, a bill scraping plate is provided as a means for forcibly pushing the forgotten banknotes into the collection box, but the scraping plate is sufficient to push the jam banknotes into the collection box. It did not perform such a function.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the above prior art,
In the operation of collecting the forgotten banknotes, the end portion of the guide being driven crosses a part of the banknote stack space where the forgotten banknotes are present. For this reason, when the uncollected banknotes are moved to the collection box, some banknotes may be caught in the guide end portion and cause a jam.

According to the present invention, by operating a bill pushing plate for controlling the posture or moving direction of the bill so that the bill being moved to the collecting box does not come into contact with the end of the driven guide, The purpose is to prevent the occurrence of the jam.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, the forgotten banknotes that are moving to the recovery box do not come into contact with the end of the guide that is being driven for the recovery operation. A bill pushing plate for operating the attitude or moving direction of the forgotten bill is provided.

[0006]

In the operation of recovering the forgotten banknotes, the forgoing banknotes being moved to the recovery box are controlled by driving the pushing plate before or during the driving of the guide to limit the movable range of the forgotten banknotes. It is possible to prevent jamming due to contact with the end portion of the driven guide.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG.
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1A, the banknotes to be paid out to the customer are moved in the direction of arrow 2 on the conveyance path 1 to guide A 3, guide B 4, guide C 5,
And bill stack space 7 constituted by the guide D6
Stack in a. After that, the shutter 8 and the guide C
By opening 5, the customer can receive the payout bill 9.

When the customer forgets to take out the dispensed banknote 9, after closing the shutter 8 and the guide C5, the push-out plate 10 provided behind the guide D6 moves into the banknote stack space 7a. The forgotten banknotes in the banknote stack space 7a are pushed into the reduced banknote stack space 7b. After that, the guide A3 and the guide B4 move to open the bill moving space to the collection box, and the bill 9 falls into the collection box (see FIG. 1).
(C)).

Here, by selecting the driving amount of the pushing plate 10 so that the bill stack space 7b does not interfere with the movement trajectory 11 of the tip of the guide C5, the bill 9 is being driven while falling into the collecting box. It is possible to prevent contact with the tip of the guide C5, and consequently prevent occurrence of jam. (In this embodiment, the jam ratio could be reduced to about 1/100.) FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a conventional technique. The bills to be paid out to the customer are moved in the direction of arrow 2 on the conveying path 1 and
The bills are stacked in the bill stack space 7a constituted by the guide A3, the guide B4, the guide C5, and the guide D6 (FIG. 2A). After that, by opening the shutter 8 and the guide C5, the customer can receive the payout bill 9 (FIG. 2B).

When the customer forgets to take out the bill 9 to be dispensed, after closing the shutter 8 and the guide C5, the guide A3 and the guide B4 are moved to open the bill moving space up to the collection box, and the guide C support member 12 is opened. The guide C5 rotates to move in the direction of the collection box, and the banknote 9 is pushed into the collection box (FIG. 2C).

Here, a locus 11 drawn by the tip of the guide B4
Since the bills cross the bill stack area 7a, the uncollected bills 9a existing in the vicinity of the locus 11 are caught at the tip of the guide C5 and a jam occurs.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the automatic cash payment apparatus 13. When the customer inserts a card into the card insertion / ejection slot 14 of the automatic cash payment apparatus 13 and operates the customer operation unit 16 according to the guidance display of the guidance display unit 15 to input a desired amount of money, a personal identification number, etc., cash automatic Payment device 13
Inserts bills from the bill receiving slot 17 into the card inserting / discharging slot 14
Card and the statement slip from the statement slip exit 18, respectively.

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the operation of the embodiment. The bill paying mechanism 19 drives the separating unit 21 to feed the bills of the amount requested by the customer from the cash cassette 20 to the transport path 22, and stacks the bills in the bill stacking space 7a in the bill discharging and collecting mechanism 23. . The stacked banknotes can be received by the customer by opening the shutter 8. After that, when the customer forgets to take all or some of the banknotes, the shutter 8 is closed and the guide forming the banknote stack space 7a is driven to move the forgotten banknotes into the forgotten banknote collection box 24.

[0014]

The present invention has the following effects. That is, in the operation of recovering the forgotten banknotes, the forgotten banknotes being moved to the collection box are driven by limiting the movable range of the forgotten banknotes by driving the pushing plate before or during the driving of the guide. It is possible to prevent jamming due to contact with the end of the inside guide.
