Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION ta+ Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in a banknote counting machine forming a part of an automatic teller machine, and more particularly to an improvement in a cash box set in the counting machine.

(b) Prior Art and Problems In conventional cash dispensing machines, which have been widely used as bank terminals, cash boxes for each denomination are set in a banknote counting machine, and banknotes corresponding to the withdrawal amount requested by the user are loaded. It will be counted and paid automatically. However, the cash box for cents in the banknote counting machine was inconvenient to handle because it was configured independently for each denomination, such as one for 1,000 yen notes and one for 10,000 yen notes.

(C1 Purpose of the Invention The purpose of the present invention is to solve some of the inconveniences in handling the cash box in the conventional banknote counting machine.

[d+ Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the present invention employs a structure in which cash boxes for different denominations can be connected to each other in a superimposed manner. The present invention is characterized in that cents can be inserted into the banknote counter in a state where a plurality of cash boxes are stacked and connected.

(el) Embodiments of the Invention Hereinafter, embodiments of the banknote counting machine according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of an example of a banknote counting machine according to the present invention. Inside the counting machine housing 1, there is a 1,000 yen bill box 2,
The ten thousand yen bill boxes 3 are set in a two-tiered manner. In front of each cash box 2 and 3, suction heads 4 and 5 for sucking and discharging banknotes one by one are provided, and furthermore, banknote transport paths 6 and 7 consisting of endless belts are arranged in communication with each suction head. ing. Optical detection elements 8 for counting transported banknotes are provided at several locations along the banknote transport path, and furthermore, an impeller 9 for banknote collection and a banknote plate 10 are provided at the end of the 1M path. .

In the above configuration, the feature of the present invention lies in the connecting structure of the two cash boxes 2 and 3, and the other parts are not much different from conventional banknote counting machines. That is, the present invention is characterized in that the two cash boxes 2 and 3 are connected by a coupling means 11 that can be engaged and disengaged, and set vertically from above the counter housing 1. This is a big difference compared to the configuration where they were set separately from the rear.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the structure of the connecting means for the cash box as described above, and as shown in FIG. Also, on the bottom of the million yen bill box 3, there is a
) is formed with an engaging recess 13 in the shape of an embrace. Therefore, by slidingly engaging the recess 13 of the 10000 yen note box 3 with the rail 12 on the 1000 yen note box 2, the two cash boxes can be integrated as shown in Figure 2 (c+). In this case, the 1,000 yen note box 2 and the 10,000 yen note box 3 can be naturally distinguished from each other by the shape of their connecting parts.
In the connected state, the 1,000 yen bill box 2 in the small denomination field is always at the bottom, so there is no mistake in putting cents into the counter.

(fl) Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above description, the main point of this invention is that the cash boxes for at least two types of banknotes are connected to each other so that cents can be placed in a counting machine. Compared to the case where each cash box is pulled out backwards individually, it is easier to lock the box, and there is no chance of dropping a cent or misplaced cents when withdrawing, which is extremely useful for improving operability.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing one example of the configuration of a bill counting machine according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view without showing the connecting structure of the cash box. In the figure, 1 is a bill counting board housing, 2 is a thousand yen bill box, 3 is a ten thousand yen bill box, 4 and 5 are bill suckers, 6 and 7 are bill conveyance paths, 8 is a counting detection element, and 9 is a An impeller, 1o is a bill bone, 11 is a connecting means, 12 is a rail,
13 is an engagement recess. Figure 1 Figure 2

Claims (1)

[Claims] In a banknote counting machine comprising two cash boxes separately storing at least two types of banknotes, the upper surface of one of the cash boxes and the lower surface of the other cash hook are connected so as to be able to engage and disengage from each other. A banknote counting machine characterized in that a means is provided so that cents can be placed in the banknote counting machine in a state in which two cash boxes are superimposed and connected.
