Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (cL) Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cash conveying device in a cash processing system installed in a bank or the like.

(Background of the technology) Recently, the number of cash deposits processed at banks has increased rapidly, so it takes time to transport and store cash, and the resulting flow congestion has become a bottleneck for banking operations. There is a strong demand for the development of a system that efficiently transfers cash input in bulk regardless of the amount of cash input.

(C) An automatic teller machine 1 equipped with a conventional technology and a collation zone 8 for storing the checkpoint 2 until the collation is completed, and a cash discharging port 11 of the automatic teller machine 1 after the collation is completed. A cash transport mechanism 40 that loads the rejected banknotes 2 onto a carrier #10 and transports them along the guide rail 9 to a teller device 60, and a teller device 60 that stores and processes the transported banknotes 2. It is configured. The deposit processing is performed as follows. That is, the banknotes 2 inserted into the deposit slot 1' of the automatic teller machine 1 from the direction of arrow A are sent to the Hatabetsu counting machine 4 by the banknote feed roller 3, which is moving at the same time, where the authenticity is determined and the banknotes are counted. After that, it is transported in the direction of arrow B. Then, as the lifting roller 5 rotates in the direction of the arrow 1, the hat is brought into contact with the belt 6 running in the direction of the arrow hole and sent to the verification zone 8, where the customer's declared deposit amount and the sorted paper I are sent to the verification zone 8.
It is stored until the verification with several m4 of counted amounts is completed.

When the verification is completed, the bill 2 is clamped by the belt 6 running in the direction of arrow R1' by the rotation of the butcher roller 7 in the direction of arrow M and the reverse rotation of the lifting roller 5 in the direction of arrow L'. The cash is sent in the direction of arrow C and is loaded from the cash outlet 11 onto the carrier flO of the cash transport mechanism 40, and then transported along the guide rail 9 to the teller device 60 together with the carrier and stored therein. Then, the carry fIO, which has become empty due to the storage of the accepted banknotes 2 in the teller device 60, immediately returns to its original position, that is, the position corresponding to the cash dispenser 011 of the cash deposit machine 1, and waits. It has become.

However, with this system configuration, cash is transferred every time a customer makes a deposit, even if the deposit is small.
When door 11 is overloaded with customers, the cash conveyance mechanism 40 is fully activated.
Even with this option, there were drawbacks such as congestion in deposit processing, longer waiting times for customers, and higher running costs for deposit processing. In addition, troubles such as the carrier 1o of the cash conveyance mechanism not returning to its normal position when new bills 2 were sent out from the cash delivery port 11 especially during the wide pass also occurred.

(→ Purpose of the Invention The present invention has been made to correct the conventional drawbacks described in F. It is an object of the present invention to provide a new conveyance device that reliably sends accumulated cash to a carrier of a cash conveyance mechanism, reduces the number of operations of the cash conveyance mechanism, and speeds up deposit processing. According to the present invention, the purpose of this invention is to provide a device for transporting cash processed by an automatic teller machine to a teller machine, which controls the amount of cash provided at the cash outlet of the automatic teller machine. a cash accumulating unit that collects cash; a carrier that accommodates the accumulated cash and conveys it to the teller device; and a cash accumulating unit that recognizes that the carrier is located at a position corresponding to the cash outlet. A cash transport device is proposed, which is characterized by comprising a cash delivery control section that sends out a current accumulated amount of cash.

ω Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a diagram for schematically explaining an embodiment of the cash conveying device according to the present invention, and the same parts as in FIG. 1 are given the same reference numerals. The cash conveying device of the present invention shown in this figure includes a cash stacking section 30 that stacks banknotes 2 at the outlet 11 of the automatic cash deposit 141 until they reach a specified amount Δ shown in FIG. A banknote accumulation specified amount sensor 21 that detects that the specified amount △ has been reached and the banknote 2
A detection unit configured with a carrier standby sensor 41 that detects that the carrier 0 is waiting at a fixed position, and the output of the m1 banknote accumulation specified amount sensor 21 and the output of the carrier standby sensor 41 are simultaneously detected. and a cash sending control section 50 that sends out the banknotes 2 accumulated in the cash accumulating section 30 to the carrier 10 only when an input is made. To explain these components in more detail, the cash accumulating section 30 has an ejecting roller 23 and a driven gear 32 on both sides of the opening 20 which becomes the banknote dispensing port 11, as shown in the perspective view of FIG. . The two delivery rollers 23 arranged in parallel in the conveyance direction are pivotally supported by a roller holder 24 and rotationally controlled by the cash delivery control section 50. The roller holder 24 is connected to the substrate 26 via coil springs 25, and an optical banknote collector is provided at the bottom of one end of the roller holder.
A light shielding mask 22 is provided for the prescribed amount sensor 21 . As shown in detail in FIG. 4, the specified quantity sensor 21 consists of a light source 6 and a light receiving element 35, and is activated when the light ray 37 from the light source 36 is blocked by the light shielding mask 22.
F. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the pair of driven gears 32 are rotated by the driving gear 31 in the directions of arrows D, T)', and each has three pressure balls 33 rotatably established on its surface. The driven gear 32 and the press ball details 33 temporarily store the banknotes 2 conveyed from the collation zone 8 as shown in the figure.
Reference numeral 3 has a function of holding and stacking the banknotes 2 between the banknotes 2 and the delivery roller 23. As shown in FIG. 5, the cash dispensing control section 50 is comprised of a feed roller control section 70 that rotates the feed roller 23 of the cash stacking section according to the specified amount of banknotes to be accumulated. The carrier standby sensor 41 is composed of a light source 42 and a light receiving element 44, which are disposed opposite to each other across the conveyance path of the carrier 10 at a position corresponding to the cash outlet on the guide rail 9 of the cash conveyance structure 40.
The operation is turned OFF when the light beam 43 from the light source 42 is blocked by the carrier 10. Next, the operation of the cash conveyance device configured as described above will be explained. automatic cash deposit it
The banknotes 2 deposited in the counter and sent to the cash accumulation section 30 via the hood counting machine 4 and the verification zone 8 are rotated by a pair of driven gears 32 in the direction of arrows 11 and D' by a drive gear 31.
After being temporarily stopped by the three pressure balls 33 above, the central portion is moved in the direction of arrow E, and the both ends are moved in the direction of arrow R'.
While being pushed in the respective directions and bent into a dogleg shape, they are overlapped in an arrow shape by one rotation of the driven gear 32. Due to the suppression of the banknotes 2 that are successively rolled in this way, the delivery roller 23, which is constantly in pressure contact with the adhesive kidney 2 of collected lees, moves in the direction of the arrow π, so that the roller holder 24 holding the medical delivery roller 23 moves in the direction of the arrow π. The fill springs 25 also move in the direction of the arrow E against the biasing force of the fill springs 25 in the direction of the arrow. As the roller holder 24 moves in the direction of the arrow E, the light-shielding mask 22 provided on the roller holder 24 approaches the banknote collection f,9 prescribed amount sensor 21. Then, when the accumulation of t'+it notes 2 reaches a preset specified amount Δ, the light shielding mask 22 blocks the incident light beam 37 to the light receiving element 35 in the specified scatterer 2.
Since the sensor 21 is in the OFF state, the current h (sensor 21) is in the OFF state.At this time, if the carry lO of the v140 is in the standby state, that is, in the position corresponding to the cash delivery port 11, the carrier holding weight is Since the incident light beam 43 to the light receiving element 44 of the sensor 41 is blocked by the gear Into, the standby sensor 41 becomes an OF'F state Yμ.

Therefore, when the banknote accumulation specified amount sensor 21 and the carrier standby sensor 41 are both in the 0F1i' state, the cash delivery control component slund circuit 61 is activated and sends a signal to the delivery roller controller 70. The delivery roller controller 70 controls the delivery roller 2 of the cash accumulating section 30.
3 to move the accumulated banknotes 2 in the direction of arrow F, and load them onto the carrier 10 through the cash delivery opening 20. Thereafter, the carrier 10 is transported to the teller device 60 as described above. Therefore, in the cash transfer device of the present invention, the deposited banknotes 20F1''.

The number of transfers to the storage device 60 is significantly reduced and this is done reliably.

(g) Effects of the Invention As explained in detail above, the cash conveyance device of the present invention can shorten customer waiting time, significantly reduce the running cost of deposit processing, and can perform highly reliable deposit processing. It is very effective.
