Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (1) Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a banknote refeeding system, particularly in an automatic transaction device, in which defective banknotes rejected by a banknote discrimination unit and returned to a return slot are recirculated and revalidated. The present invention relates to a banknote re-feeding system that makes it possible to re-feed banknotes.

(2) Problems with the Prior Art Automatic transaction devices for banknotes are well known in the past, but conventional automatic transaction devices of this type have a structure in which a banknote input port and a banknote withdrawal port are provided separately. Ta. For example, the first
The figure shows a conventional automatic transaction device 1, in which banknotes inserted from the input slot 2 (in the case of deposits) are discriminated by a discrimination section 3, and banknotes determined to be defective are inputted through a return conveyance path 4. The items are returned through a return port 5 provided separately from the return port.

However, in this type of device, the input slot 2 and the return slot 5 are provided separately as described above, so if a defective banknote appears in the return slot 5, one customer can pull it out and insert it again. If you forget to take it out, there is a possibility that it will be taken away by another person using the automatic transaction device or that it will be lost.

In any case, in the conventional apparatus, since defective banknotes come out at the return slot 5, it is necessary to deal with the defective banknotes once again, which is a problem.

(3) Purpose of the Invention The present invention solves the problems of the conventional device as described above.In the present invention, the banknote input port and the return port, that is, the banknote discharge port are combined into one and used in common. Indicates that a banknote judged as defective by the identification unit has been ejected to the return slot or ejection port, and if the banknote is not removed even though it has been ejected, the banknote is recirculated and judged again. Another object of the present invention is to provide a banknote re-feeding system for an automatic transaction device in which a counter counts each time a defective banknote is discharged into a return slot.

(4) Structure of the Invention The banknote refeeding system of the present invention is an automatic banknote transaction system having a function of distinguishing genuine banknotes, damaged banknotes, counterfeit banknotes, and pseudo banknotes, and selectively accumulating and returning banknotes according to their properties. In the device, there is a banknote input slot and a banknote return/return slot.
The banknotes are characterized by having a common discharge port and a single mouth, and by providing a timing means to automatically recirculate the discharged banknotes for re-discrimination after a predetermined period of time has elapsed during banknote discharge. There is.

(5) Embodiments of the invention Next, embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 is a schematic overall configuration diagram centered on the mechanical system of the automatic transaction device 100 that implements the banknote refeeding system of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is an electrical control system diagram of FIG. 2.

In FIG. 2, 12 is the shutter of the common entrance 10;
Reference numeral 1 denotes an input/output unit, 13 a primary discrimination unit, 16 a stacker that can also supply banknotes from the outside, 18 a secondary discrimination unit, 1
Reference numerals 7-1.17-2.17-3 are safes that store genuine banknotes, and store, in order, 5,000 yen bills, 10,000 yen bills, and 1,000 yen bills, respectively.

Reference numeral 17-4 indicates a safe for storing bills that are damaged but not defective enough to be returned, 19 is a discharge section, and 20 is a pushbutton switch for performing various operations.

3- In particular, in the present invention, unlike conventional devices, the banknote entrance/exit 1 is a single entrance/exit so as to be shared.

In operation, for example, when making a deposit, a customer (depositing customer) inserts a banknote through the shutter 12 and inserts the banknote into the outlet 10, which serves as an input slot.
When the bill is transported and passes through the primary discrimination section 13, it is determined whether it is a genuine bill, a damaged ticket, or a fake bill, and the genuine bill is temporarily placed in the stacker 16. After being stored, the second discrimination unit 18 determines the denomination (type of money).

is stored in

On the other hand, the primary discrimination section 13 identifies the problematic banknotes (
Since the defective banknotes are taken out to the common entrance 10 via the pool section 19 on the discharge side, the customer can open the shutter 12 and take out the banknotes.

Moreover, if the judgment or discrimination result of the primary discrimination section 4 is defective, this will be displayed on the display device (4- shown in FIG. 3) or a notification sound will be generated.

As a result, the customer rearranges and reinserts the banknotes determined to be defective, and performs the transaction again.

However, if for some reason the customer forgets to take out the banknotes even though they have appeared in the doorway 10, or if the time for taking out the banknotes has expired due to slowness, the banknotes that have appeared at the doorway 10 may be removed automatically or by button operation. It is possible to recirculate the banknotes via the conveyance path for re-verification, perform the counterfeit banknote identification operation again, and count the number of times the banknotes discharged to the entrance/exit are checked.

In the configuration diagram of the electrical system of the device according to the present invention shown in FIG. 3, 10 is a common entrance/exit, 12 is a shutter, 13 is a primary discrimination section, 14 is a deposit device control section, and 15 is a defective banknote sent out to the entrance/exit 10. 16 is a stacker, 17 is a safe, 18

Note that the same reference numerals in FIGS. 2 and 3 indicate the same parts.

The operation of the device configured in this way will be described next. Insert your bankbook and its magnetic stripe will be displayed on the I10 device 23.
When the user starts a transaction and makes a deposit, the shutter 12 is opened in response to a control signal from the main controller 24.

As a result, when a customer inserts a bill from the bill slot 10, the primary discrimination section 13 distinguishes the authenticity of the bill, and genuine bills are temporarily stored in the stacker 16 and then sorted into the safe 17 via the secondary discrimination section 18. can be put in. On the other hand, tickets that are determined to be counterfeit or defective tickets by the primary classification department are collected at the pool section 19.
It is returned to the entrance 10 via.

At that time, under the control of the main control section 24, the display device control section 22 indicates that the defective or counterfeit ticket has been discharged to the entrance/exit 10.
The information is displayed on the display device 121 or notified by a buzzer. In this case, the customer pays attention to the display on the display device 21, opens the shutter 12, smooths out the wrinkles in the returned bill, inserts it into the doorway 10 again, and turns on the switch 20. , it is taken in and recirculated in the same way as normal operation, and then again in the primary discrimination section 13.
The authenticity of the banknotes is verified, and if the banknotes pass the test, they are stored in the safe 17, and if they are still rejected, they are returned to the doorway 10 again.

In the above case, if the customer does not notice that the defective banknote has been ejected, the timer/counter 15 measures the time since the defective banknote was returned to the exit/exit door, and if a certain period of time has elapsed, the next time The defective banknotes are taken into the device again, and the primary discrimination section 13 again discriminates the banknotes, and performs the same control. As a result, if the banknote is determined to be defective again, it is sent to the entrance/exit 110. This is what happens when a timer
The banknote is repeated a certain number of times set in the counter 15, and if it is still determined to be a defective banknote, the automatic suction and appraisal is stopped further and this is reported to the customer.

Of course, by using the switch 20, it is also possible to take defective banknotes into the interior and re-appraise them without taking them out.
