The connection between the transfer path 6 and the transfer path 9 and the payment /
A reject box 18 is provided between the reject opening 3 and the unit 1 so as to be detachable from the machine body 1 and for storing reject bills. This reject box 18
Is for storing a rejected banknote when there is a rejected banknote among the banknotes fed from each of the denomination stackers 15 to 17. Further, the reject box 18 is a simple box-shaped body, and reject bills transported by the transport path 24 connected to the transport path 6 are thrown and stored as they are.

As shown in FIG. 5, the dispensing / rejecting port 3 is disposed at a lower portion in front of the outlet 6a of the transport path 6 and is spaced above the receiving portion 40. An upper lid 41, a shutter 42 for opening and closing an opening formed on the opposite side of the tray 40 and the upper lid 41 with respect to the transport path 6, and a lock mechanism (lock) for locking and unlocking the shutter 42 in a closed state. Means 43).

The lower end of the shutter 42 is fixed to a support shaft 44 which is disposed in front of the pan 40 in the left-right direction when viewed from the front of the machine body, and contacts the upper lid 41 (clockwise direction in FIG. 5). Are biased by a spring member (not shown).

The lock mechanism 43 includes a cam 47 provided below the pan 40 with the rotation shaft 46 disposed in the left-right direction when viewed from the front of the machine body, and a pin 48 on the side surface of the cam 47.

A lock pin 53 for restricting the rotation in the opening direction is fixed.

Here, when the lock mechanism 43 is in the locked state shown in FIG. 5, the lock pin 53 comes into contact with the locking pin 52 of the connecting member 51, whereby the shutter 42 in the closed state is rotated in the opening direction. Is regulated and locked.

From this state, the lock mechanism 43 moves the cam 4
7 by driving the motor 54 shown in FIG.
7 is rotated in the forward direction (counterclockwise direction in FIG. 5) about the rotation shaft 46 by a predetermined angle (180 °), the connection members 49 and 51 are fixed to the support shaft 44 at one end. When the pin 48 is lifted in this state, the intermediate pin 50 swings around the support shaft 44 in a predetermined direction (counterclockwise direction in FIG. 5) to enter the unlocked state.

At this time, with the shutter 42 and the support shaft 44 being free with respect to the connecting member 51 and stopped by the urging force of the spring member, the locking pin 52 fixed to the connecting member 51 pivots. , From the lock pin 53 fixed to the support shaft 44. In this state, the shutter 42 is closed by the urging force of the spring member. However, since the locking pin 52 is separated from the locking pin 53, the shutter 42 is manually moved by the operator by a dashed line in FIG. It can be opened as shown. The spring member is
The urging force is set so that the shutter 42 can be easily opened manually, but does not open even if bills fed from the outlet 6a of the transport path 6 collide.

In order to lock the shutter 42 in the closed state, the motor 54 is rotated reversely until the lock mechanism 43 returns to the lock position. As shown in FIG. 6, the motor 54 is connected to a control unit (control means) 55. The control unit 55 performs the above-described deposit / withdrawal discrimination unit 7 and an external input operation by an operator. An operation unit 56 and a display unit 57 for displaying a display to an operator are connected.

Next, the deposit processing of the bill depositing and dispensing machine having the above configuration will be described below with reference to FIG. By the operator,
After a deposit bill is inserted into the deposit port 2, when a selection operation for selecting a deposit process is input to the operation unit 56, the control unit 55.
Drives the motor 54 to put the lock mechanism 43 in the unlocked state.

Next, as shown in FIG. 1, the control unit 55
The banknotes are fed out one by one by the payout mechanism 5 from the depositing port 2, conveyed by the conveyance path 6, and the banknote discriminating unit 7 discriminates the authenticity, denomination, front / back and oblique, multiple feed, etc.
All bills identified as “true” and “front” are transferred to transport path 6
Then, the banknotes are temporarily stored on the separator 11 in the intermediate stacker 8 via the transport path 9, and all the bills identified as “true” and “back” are transported through the transport path 6, the transport path 9, and the transport path 10. The liquid is temporarily stored on the separator 11 in the intermediate stacker 8 sequentially. Thereby, the intermediate stacker 8
, All normal banknotes other than the rejected banknotes are temporarily stored on the separator 11 in a state of being sorted on both sides.

[0033] On the other hand, other than the above "true"
All reject bills discriminated as “false”, oblique, multiple feed, etc. are fed to the dispensing / reject port 3. Here, when a reject banknote is detected by the deposit / withdrawal discriminating unit 7, the control unit 55 dispenses at a predetermined timing after the timing at which the reject banknote is fed to the dispensing / reject port 3. / Display on the display unit 57 that a rejected bill is present in the reject opening 3.

Since the rejected bill is fed out to the dispensing / reject opening 3 until this display, the shutter 42 is not opened by the operator even in the unlocked state, and the shutter 42 is not opened. It is closed by the urging force of the member. Therefore, when the reject bill is fed to the dispensing / reject port 3, it can be prevented from jumping out of the machine.

Then, at the time after the reject bill has been paid out to the dispensing / reject port 3, the above-mentioned display indicates
The operator can recognize that there is a rejected bill and manually open the shutter 42 in the unlocked state against the urging force. Therefore, the reject bill can be taken out from the dispensing / reject port 3 even during the processing. As a result, the rejected banknote rejected to the dispensing / rejecting port 3 during the same depositing process is taken out before the taking-in of the banknote set in the depositing port 2 into the machine by one depositing process is completed, and the depositing port is completed. 2 can be re-inserted, and the rejected banknote can be discriminated again by the same one-time payment processing, so that processing efficiency can be improved.

In addition, even if the shutter 42 is closed by the urging force of the spring member in order to prevent the reject bill from jumping out as described above, when the reject bill is generated, this is reported on the display unit 57 and the operator is notified. Can be recognized. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the payment processing from being terminated without noticing that the reject bill has been fed to the dispensing / reject port 3.

When the reject bill is fed to the dispensing / reject port 3, there is a possibility that the shutter 42 is opened in order to pull out the reject bill previously fed from the dispensing / reject port 3. , Control unit 55
If the second and subsequent rejected banknotes are detected by the deposit / withdrawal discrimination unit 7 for one depositing process, the display unit 57 indicates that the rejected banknote is fed to the dispensing / reject port 3.
And an alarm sound is generated, and thereafter, the lock mechanism 43 is locked by driving the motor 54 at a predetermined timing before the timing at which the reject bill is fed to the dispensing / reject port 3. State. Thus, the shutter 42 is locked in the closed state.

As described above, even if the shutter 42 is to be opened at the timing when the reject bill is fed to the dispensing / reject port 3 during the deposit processing, the control unit 55 locks the shutter 42 by the lock mechanism 43. ,
The shutter 42 cannot be opened.

Accordingly, the rejected bills jump out of the machine and collide with the rejected bills due to the opening of the shutter 42 at the timing when the rejected bills are fed to the dispensing / reject port 3 (the bills to be newly withdrawn. Poor feeding failure due to collision with bills) can be prevented.

Since there is a time lag between the detection by the deposit / withdrawal discriminating section 7 and the delivery to the withdrawal / reject port 3, there is a time from when an alarm is generated until the shutter 42 is locked in the closed state. In addition, it is possible to prevent the hand of the operator from being pinched by the shutter 42 in a favorable manner.

Here, the above-mentioned reject banknote is dispensed /
Instead of the display on the display unit 57 indicating that the bill is fed to the reject opening 3, a light emitting unit such as an LED for exclusively displaying that the reject bill is fed to the dispensing / reject opening 3 may be turned on or blinked. Further, when the reject bill is fed to the dispensing / reject port 3, either one of the alarm sound generation and the display may be executed.

Thereafter, at a predetermined timing after the timing at which the reject bill is fed to the dispensing / reject port 3, the control unit 55 drives the motor 54 to put the lock mechanism 43 into the unlocked state, In the same manner as described above, the display unit 57 causes the display unit 57 to display that there is a reject bill in the dispensing / reject opening 3. Thereby, the operator recognizes that there is a rejected bill, manually opens the shutter 42 in the unlocked state, takes out the rejected bill, and resets it in accordance with the bill remaining in the deposit port 2. become.

The timing at which the bill detected by the deposit / withdrawal discriminating section 7 is paid out from the withdrawal / reject port 3 is as follows.
A plurality of papers are determined from a predetermined transport distance and a predetermined transport speed from the deposit / withdrawal discriminating unit 7 to the withdrawal / reject port 3, or are arranged at predetermined intervals on the transport path 6 to the withdrawal / reject port 3. From the sensor detection timing.

When all banknotes set in the deposit port 2 have been loaded into the intermediate stacker 8 or rejected to the dispensing / reject port 3, the control section 55 determines the discrimination result by the deposit / withdrawal discriminating section 7. Is displayed on the display unit 57 based on. Then, when a confirmation operation is input by the operator via the operation unit 56, the control unit 55 retracts the separator 11 out of the intermediate stacker 8 and places the temporarily stored banknotes on the elevator 13. . When the above-described deposit processing is completed, the controller 55 drives the motor 54 to lock the lock mechanism 43.

On the other hand, when the operator inputs the cancellation of the deposit processing in response to the deposit processing result, the control unit 55 sets the lock mechanism 43 in the locked state, and as shown in FIG. A return process is performed in which all the banknotes temporarily stored on the separator 11 of the intermediate stacker 8 are fed to the dispensing / reject port 3 via the ports 14 and 6.
Here, during the return process, the lock mechanism 43 is in the locked state, so even if the shutter 42 is to be opened, the shutter 42 cannot be opened, and the return caused by carelessly opening the shutter 42 It is possible to prevent a bill from jumping out of the machine and a feeding failure caused by a collision between returned bills.

When it is confirmed that all of the bills have been returned to the dispensing / reject port 3, the control unit 55 sets the lock mechanism 43 to the unlocked state by driving the motor 54, and discharges all the bills. The display unit 57 displays that the money / reject port 3 has been returned. Thus, the operator manually opens the shutter 42 in the unlocked state against the urging force, and takes out the returned bill from the dispensing / reject opening 3.

Next, the dispensing process will be described below with reference to FIG. When a withdrawal command is issued from the operation unit 56, the control unit 55 sets the lock mechanism 43 in the locked state, starts the withdrawal process, and sets each of the denomination stackers 15-1.
From 7, the banknotes corresponding to the amount to be paid out are fed out one by one.

Then, from the stackers 15 to 17 by money type,
Ingress / egress mechanisms 33-35 by raising elevators 21-23
The dispensed banknotes fed in the above are transported from the transport paths 29 to 31 through the transport paths 20, 9, 14, and 6, and
The denomination / discharge discriminating section 7 in the middle of the process discriminates a denomination, an oblique direction, a multiple feed, and the like. As a result of the discrimination, a normal banknote having no abnormality is conveyed to the dispensing / reject port 3 as it is. As a result of the discrimination, the rejected banknote discriminated as having an abnormality such as oblique or multiple feed is not conveyed to the dispensing / reject port 3, but is conveyed and stored in the reject box 18 via the conveyance path 24. .

Since the lock mechanism 43 is in the locked state during the dispensing process, the shutter 42 cannot be opened even if the shutter 42 is to be opened, and the shutter 42 is inadvertently opened. As a result, it is possible to prevent the dispensing bills from jumping out of the machine, and to prevent defective dispensing due to collision between the dispensing bills.

When it is confirmed that all the banknotes based on the withdrawal command have been dispensed to the withdrawal / reject port 3,
The control unit 55 causes the lock mechanism 43 to be in the unlocked state by driving the motor 54, and causes the display unit 57 to display that all necessary banknotes have been dispensed to the dispensing / reject port 3. Thus, the operator manually opens the shutter 42 in the unlocked state against the urging force, and takes out the dispensed bill from the dispensing / reject port 3.

Next, the distribution process will be described with reference to FIG. After the payment processing, the control unit 45 performs the following distribution processing as necessary, provided that the payment processing and the payment processing are not being executed.

The banknotes stored in the intermediate stacker 8 until then are stored in the respective denomination stackers 15 to 17 by the transport paths 25, 14, 6, 9, and 20. That is, the elevator 13 is raised, and the banknotes thereon are fed out of the intermediate stacker 8 by the input / output mechanism 12. Then, the bills fed out in this manner are transferred to the transport path 25,
After being sent to the deposit / withdrawal discriminating section 7 through 14, 14 and further discriminated by the deposit / withdrawal discriminating section 7, based on the discrimination result,
Only normal banknotes having no abnormality are sorted by denomination into the denomination stackers 15 to 17 via the transport paths 9 and 20 and the transport paths 26 to 28 and stored.

At this time, the bills discriminated by the deposit / withdrawal discriminating section 7 as having an abnormality, such as oblique or multiple feed, are sorted and stored in the reject box 18 through the transport path 6 and the transport path 24. In the distribution process, the bill is not fed to the dispensing / reject port 3, but the lock mechanism 43 is in the locked state.

[0054]

As described in detail above, claim 1 of the present invention
According to the banknote pay-in / pay-out device described, during the payment process,
Since the control means releases the lock of the shutter by the lock means, the shutter in the state of closing the dispensing / reject port closes the dispensing / reject port by urging force. Therefore, if the shutter is opened against this urging force, the bill can be taken out from the dispensing / reject port even during the deposit processing. Therefore, since the shutter is closed by the urging force unless it is particularly opened, it is possible to prevent the rejected banknote from jumping out of the machine when the banknote is fed to the dispensing / reject port, and to resist the urging force. Then, if the shutter is opened, the rejected banknote can be taken out from the dispensing / reject port even during the processing. As a result, the rejected banknotes rejected to the withdrawal / reject port during the same deposit processing are taken out and re-inserted into the deposit port before the loading of the banknotes set in the deposit port into the machine in one deposit processing is completed. The rejected banknote can be discriminated again in the same one-time payment processing, so that the processing efficiency can be improved.

According to the bill depositing and dispensing machine of the second aspect of the present invention, even if the shutter is to be opened at the timing when the reject bill is fed to the dispensing / reject port during the deposit processing, the control means is controlled by the locking means. Since the shutter is locked, the shutter cannot be opened. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the rejected bills from jumping out of the machine due to the opening of the shutter at the timing when the rejected bills are dispensed to the dispensing / rejecting port, and to prevent the rejected bills from being dispensed due to collision between the rejected bills.

According to the bill receiving / dispensing machine according to the third aspect of the present invention, even if the shutter is closed to prevent the reject bill from jumping out, when a reject bill is generated, this is reported to the operator and recognized. be able to. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the payment processing from being terminated without noticing that the reject bill has been fed to the dispensing / reject port.
