Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an automatic accepting machine that accepts banknotes in bulk when depositing money or exchanging money.

Conventionally, this type of automatic teller machine is known to have a type in which a customer inserts banknotes one by one or a type in which a customer inserts banknotes all at once.

In the former case, the number of sheets only needs to be checked to see if there is one sheet or not, so there is no need to press a button that would cause any major trouble.

However, with this method, if the number of bills to be inserted increases, it will cause a lot of trouble for the customer, and if the customer holds the money in their hands, there is a risk of theft. The latter, in other words, an automatic teller machine that can deposit money at once, has been developed.

With the development of these automatic deposit machines that load all at once, it has become possible to make deposits easier and to shorten processing time.

However, in these systems of automatic teller machines that load all at once, as shown in FIGS. The storage box 3 required at least four buttons with notches larger than the width of the vacuum suction chip, and a notch 6 in the banknote holding plate 5 for taking in the bills.

However, this poses a problem in that the edges of the banknotes get caught during insertion, making it difficult to insert the banknotes, and foreign objects may fall into the internal mechanism.

Also, if there are too many banknotes, you may have to grab the banknotes you have put in from the storage box, reduce the number of banknotes, and then reinsert them. A finger insertion part 7 for extraction was provided in a part of the holder.

However, due to the performance of the take-in rotor, when the banknotes come into contact with the take-in rotor, the entire rear surface of the banknotes is not pressed down, so folded or heavily wrinkled banknotes may be taken in in duplicate.
There was a risk that the data could not be imported.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned points, and an object of the present invention is to provide an automatic receiving machine that allows bills to be easily inserted into or withdrawn from a storage box through an input port.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to an illustrated embodiment.

Figure 3 shows the appearance of an automatic deposit machine installed at a bank branch, for example.
A housing 1 houses a deposit mechanism, a transaction certificate issuing mechanism, a magnetic card reading mechanism button, and a control device, which will be described later.

In addition, on the front side of the device 2, there is a banknote deposit slot 3, a deposit amount display section 4, a deposit approval key 5, and a deposit cancellation key 6 on a horizontal table, and a banknote return lower and a magnetic card insertion on the vertical surface. A port 8, a transaction certificate issuing port 9, and an operation guide display section 10 are provided.

Note that 11 is a rear door. First, the magnetic card reading mechanism 20 will be explained according to the side sectional view of the automatic teller machine shown in FIG.
The magnetic head 22 reads the depositor's account number recorded magnetically, and controls the amount deposited into the account designated by this account number by the following deposit mechanism to be added to the current balance of the account and recorded. Ru.

This deposit account is stored in a storage device such as a magnetic drum of a computer system located remotely from the deposit machine, and is accessed from the deposit machine via a communication line.

Further, the transaction certificate issuing mechanism prints the account number, deposit amount, and current balance of the transaction and issues it from the transaction certificate issuing port 9, and the operation guide display unit 10 is composed of, for example, a plasma, a display, etc. This displays instructions for the depositor to perform the operations, which change one after another according to the order of operations.

Next, the depositing mechanism 100 will be described. It starts operating only when the account number is correctly read from the magnetic card inserted by the depositor, and is constructed as shown in FIG. 4.

That is, the deposit slot 3 that opens on the front table of the housing 1 is provided with a housing 101 and a banknote storage box 102 below it, and the lid 101 automatically opens and stores the banknotes when the account number is read correctly. The box 102 stores banknotes P1, which are deposited in a bundle by the depositor, in an upright position.

At the back of the storage box, take in banknotes P1 one by one.
A take-in rotor 103 is provided, and when the lid 101 is closed by the depositor, the storage box 102 moves in the direction of arrow 104 and transports banknotes to the take-in position.

There is a suction element 106 connected to a vacuum pump 105 on the circumferential surface of the intake rotor, and when the rotor rotates in the direction of arrow 107, it vacuum suctions the tickets one by one from the frontmost end and connects them to the pulley 108 and endless It is adapted to be taken into a conveyance path 110 constituted by a belt 109.

These buttons, rotor, pulley, and belt are the motor 111,
Driven by belt 112.

A detector 113 consisting of a plurality of combinations of light sources and light receiving elements is provided in the middle of the conveyance path 110, and determines the type of banknotes that successively cross the detector, counts the number of banknotes, and determines the authenticity.

Next, the conveyance path 110 is divided into a main conveyance path 114 and a branch conveyance path 115 behind the detector, and this branch is provided with a dividing gate 116 driven by, for example, a rotary or solenoid. In response to the received signal, the controller operates to guide a valid ticket to the main conveyance path 114, and to guide a fraudulent ticket to a branch conveyance path 115.

At the end of the main conveyance path 114, a temporary storage section 117 is provided in which the banknotes P1 are stacked in a horizontal state, and the banknotes accepted by the deposit machine in the transaction are stored separately from others.

On the other hand, the return lower is provided at the end of the branch conveyance path 115 to return banknotes determined to be fraudulent to the depositor.

As described above, when all the banknotes in the storage box 102 are taken in and stored in the temporary storage section or returned to the return slot, they are stored in the temporary storage section, that is, accepted as deposits. The amount is displayed on the amount display section 4.

When the deposit approval key is pressed in accordance with this display result, the bottom plate 118 of the temporary storage box retreats in the direction of the arrow 119, and the banknotes in the temporary storage box fall into the safe deposit box 120, and banknotes from other transactions The convoy certificate will be issued with the account number, deposit amount, etc. printed on it.

In addition, the safe deposit box 120 is placed on the board 121 and the rear door 1
facing one side.

Conversely, when the deposit cancellation key is pressed, the side plate 124 of the temporary storage 117 opens as shown by the broken line, the motor 111 is activated, and the belt 109 begins to rotate.

Next, the back-up plate 123 moves forward in the direction of the arrow 125 at a speed equal to or less than the speed of the belt, and guides the bundle of banknotes in the temporary storage into the bundle conveyance path 122 in the same state.

Since the bundle conveyance path joins the branch conveyance path midway, the banknotes removed from the temporary storage are returned to the return lower,
The deposit will be cancelled.

At this time, no transaction certificate will be issued. Inside, bundle conveyance path 1
22 and the branch conveyance path are constituted by elastic belts because it is necessary to reliably clamp and convey a single banknote to a large number of banknotes as described above.

Furthermore, the banknote receiving device, which is the main part of the present invention, will be described in detail based on FIGS. 5 and 6. It is large, and the thickness direction becomes gradually wider toward the outside of the casing 1 in order to facilitate the insertion and removal of banknote bundles P.

The input slot 3 has a lid 101 with a handle and a guide plate 2 for inserting banknotes.
01. Consists of a driving spring 202 for opening the lid, a locking pawl 203, a plunger type solenoid 204 for driving the pawl, a spring 205 for returning the pawl, a button, and a slide rail (not shown) of the lid body 101. ing.

The storage box 102 is a box 207 on which a rod 206 slides,
Backup 208 sliding the same rod 206
The box 207 includes the intake rotor 10.
A tipping plate 209 is connected by a hinge 210 and has a button so as to be opened for taking in at 3, and a tipping element 211 is attached to the tipping plate 209.

Further, a rotatable auxiliary backup 215 is connected to the backup 208 by a hinge 216 with a return spring.

The movement mechanism for the storage box 102 is such that a backup 208 is moved by a spring 222 into the box 207 by a spring 221 hung on a mover 220 that slides on a rod 219.
are each pulled and moved.

However, at this time, since the spring 221 is much stronger than the spring 222, the backup 208 is actually pushed by the box 207 and moves.

The moving element 220 is driven by a belt 223, a pulley 224, and a drive pulley 22 fixed to the shaft of a drive motor 225.
6.

Next, to explain the operation of the acceptance device, when the customer inserts a card and meets the specified conditions, a signal is sent from the control unit and energizes the solenoid 204, which releases the locking mechanism of the lid 101. 101 opens in the state shown in FIG.

The customer bundles banknotes and drops them into the deposit slot 3 all at once.

Next, when the customer closes the lid 101 in response to a signal that the deposit is complete, the locking mechanism is activated and the lid 101 is locked.

When a lock detector (not shown) confirms that the lid 101 is securely locked, the drive motor 225 is energized, and the drive pulley 226 rotates counterclockwise, causing the belt 22
3, the mover 220 moves in the direction of the intake rotor 103 until the detector 227 is activated.

At this time, the box 207 is pulled by the spring 222 connected to the mover 220 and moves together with the backup 208.

However, since a pin 213 for overturning is fixed to the plate member 212 during the movement process, the hinge 21 is attached to the box 207.
The overturning plate 209 connected through 0 contacts the overturner 211 and hinge 213, falls down as it moves, and finally falls over the center of rotation, which is the neutral point of the spring 217, that is, the hinge 210, and moves further. Stopper 2
The box 207 is stopped at 29.

However, at this time, as you can see by pressing the button in Figure 6, the mover 2
20 moves further toward the intake rotor 103 than the box 207, so the spring 222 extends and the box 207 moves toward the stopper 2.
29, the box 207 is fixed.

Furthermore, the backup 208 comes into contact with the banknote bundle P and the mover 2
The protrusion 220a of 20 is the protrusion 2 of the backup 208.
Spring 22 is separate from 08a and has a strength suitable for the loading state.
1 only, the backup 208 will push the banknote bundle P.

At this time, the auxiliary backup 215 of the backup 208
Since it is separated from the pressing member 218, stand vertically using the hinge 216 with a return spring and press the rear entire surface of the banknote bundle P together with the backup 208, press the button to take in the bill, and smooth out the folds and wrinkles to bring about a very good result. Become.

When the capture is completed, the light source 231 and the light receiving element 2 in the housing chamber are
32 operates, the drive motor 225 is energized via the control unit, the drive pulley 226 rotates clockwise, and the slider 220 is moved toward the deposit port until the detector 228 operates. Moving.

This position is where you wait for the next customer. During this return stroke, since the bin 213 is present, the tipping board 2 is moved by the tipping element 211.
As 09 moves, it rises and finally spring 211
crosses the neutral point and enters the normal standby state.

Since the auxiliary backup 215 is also pressed by the pressing member 218, it is also in a standby state.

The reason why the overturning plate 209 stands still as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 is because it is in contact with a stopper (not shown).

Furthermore, 214 is a stopper pin that prevents the falling board 209 from falling even if the customer pushes it when depositing money, and 230 is a plate to prevent stacking when collecting money.

The overturning plate 209 and the auxiliary back-up 215 are buttoned in FIG. 5 and gradually widen from approximately the middle of the banknote bundle P toward the outside of the casing. This is to make it easier.

As described above, according to the present invention, the opening of the storage box is made wider than the inner part only when the storage box faces the input slot. To provide an excellent automatic receiving machine which makes it easy to take out banknotes when the banknotes are stacked, and when the banknotes are taken in, the upper part of the backup becomes vertical and pushes the entire rear surface of the banknote bundle, so stacking and failure to take in the banknotes is less likely to occur.
