Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a circulation warrior dispensing device that is installed in, for example, a bank and can use banknotes deposited by a customer as they are as dispensing banknotes to another customer. Regarding the banknote storage system, the Circulation Warrior is designed to deal with cases where the banknotes that have been deposited are unsuitable for withdrawal, for example due to dirt, stains, folds, tears, etc., or old banknotes from the political era. The present invention relates to a banknote storage method for a dispensing device.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

In recent years, various types of automation have progressed in banks, etc., and in particular, banks, etc. have automatic withdrawal of banknotes using transaction media such as cards or passbooks, and vice versa. Many deposit/withdrawal machines have been installed and used that allow customers to make deposits and withdrawals by themselves, and they are also being installed and used unmanned in department stores, supermarkets, and other stores. It is expected that the number of devices used will continue to increase. Against this background, increasing the efficiency of operating funds within the aircraft and rationalizing personnel efficiency is an important issue for financial institutions, and in particular, in order to improve the efficiency of operating funds, it is important to improve the efficiency of operating funds from customers etc. 2. Description of the Related Art A banknote circulation type deposit/withdrawal device that allows banknotes to be used directly as a banknote for withdrawal to another customer, etc. has become indispensable.

By the way, as mentioned above, these circulating warrior withdrawal devices have been installed not only inside banks and step-in corners, but also outside financial institutions such as department stores and supermarkets, but due to their complicated functions. Due to the high packing density inside the machine and the lack of space, a storage area will be provided inside the machine for deposited banknotes that are dirty, smeared, folded, or unsuitable for withdrawal, such as old banknotes from the political era. Therefore, in the conventional system, incoming banknotes are deposited as they are, regardless of whether they are appropriate or not, and when withdrawing banknotes, unsuitable banknotes are removed and stored in a small box. . This has caused problems such as a shortage of deposited banknotes. There is also a known method of storing banknotes unsuitable for withdrawal in a 5,000 yen bill accumulation/takeout section that is not generally used for withdrawal, but this method poses a problem when 5,000 yen bills need to be withdrawn. There were drawbacks.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention has been developed in view of the above circumstances, and without increasing the size of the device, it is possible to carefully inspect and load banknotes that have been determined to be special deposit or withdrawal banknotes, separate from the banknote accumulation/removal unit for each denomination. To provide a banknote storage system for a circulation warrior dispensing device which can be stored in a banknote accumulation/takeout part, prevents a decrease in the storage capacity of deposited banknotes, and does not pose any problem even when it is necessary to withdraw 5,000 yen banknotes. With the goal.

[Summary of the invention]

The banknote storage method of the circulation warrior dispensing device of the present invention is a banknote circulation type depositing and dispensing device that uses banknotes received as deposits for withdrawal, and has a plurality of banknote accumulations of different denominations provided in the device. A take-out part, an inspection part that allows banknotes to be inserted and removed by an attendant provided in the device, a banknote accumulation/takeout part for loading, and authenticity of deposited banknotes.

and an inspection section that discriminates the denomination, etc., and based on the results of the discrimination by the inspection section, the deposited banknotes are placed in the denomination-based bill accumulation/takeout section, and banknotes that are not suitable for withdrawal are inspected and loaded. The structure is such that the banknotes are stored in the banknote accumulation/takeout section. In other words, if there are banknotes that are unsuitable for withdrawal, such as dirt, smudges, or old banknotes from the political era, among the banknotes deposited,
The inspection department distinguishes the banknotes that are not suitable for withdrawal, and the banknotes that are not suitable for withdrawal are inspected and stored in the banknote accumulation/removal section for loading, which collects and takes out banknotes that are appropriate for withdrawal by denomination. It is possible to make full use of the storage capacity of the banknotes without putting the inappropriate banknotes in the banknotes, and it is also possible to withdraw money from the 5,000 yen denomination banknote accumulation/removal unit without any trouble if necessary.

Deposits and withdrawals, automatic inspection, loading operations, etc. can be switched between rear mode and front mode, which will be described later.

Various operating modes (banknote conveyance paths including front and rear maintenance) of the banknote storage system of the circulation warrior dispensing device will be explained with reference to FIGS. 4 to 13. Note that the banknote conveyance route is shown schematically to make it easier to understand, and 1 in the figure indicates 1,000 yen.

5 shows a place where banknotes P of 5,000 yen and IOK of 10,000 yen are accumulated and stored by denomination.

First, the fourth figure shows the flow of banknotes P during a deposit operation, and the banknotes P input as a bundle from the deposit/withdrawal lower are transferred one by one to the banknote transport path 30 by the banknote intake/discharge mechanism 14 as indicated by the solid line arrow. It is conveyed toward the direction, passed through the inspection section 23, and variously judged (multiple conveyance, authenticity, etc.).

Front and back, denomination, dirt. (Identification of feed pitch, skew, etc.)
be done. Then, the banknotes P that are determined not to be depositable are sorted as shown by dotted lines and stacked in the banknote shifting and stacking mechanism section (reject stacking section) 32 as returned bills. How to return the returned banknotes to the customer will be described later. Also, among the banknotes P that was determined to be depositable, the reverse side banknote P was inserted upside down.
1, the bill is passed through the banknote reversing unit 25, reversed, and merges with the conveyance path 30A of the front banknote P. At this time, the length and conveyance speed of the two-sided conveyance path for separating and conveying the back and front are the same, so that the flow order of the banknotes P is not changed or overlapped. Note that the rules for the front and back sides are selected and determined in advance. Although the selection is not shown, it is easy to control. The merged banknotes P are sorted by the sorting gate 31 according to the denominations determined by the inspection section 23, and are stacked in the stacking car 20 at the corresponding denomination stacking/taking-out section 16, 17, 18. It is accumulated by. In other words, 1,000 yen banknotes go to the middle banknote stacking/taking out section 17 indicated by 1, 5,000 yen bills go to the lower banknote stacking/taking out section 16 shown at 5, and 10,000 yen bills go to the top banknote stacking/taking out section 16 shown by IOK. It is integrated in section 18. In addition, the above IK, 5K.

The arrangement at No. 10 can be selected as appropriate, and the arrangement described above is for the case where maintenance is performed from the rear side, which will be described later.
On the other hand, when performing maintenance from the front side, (1k>, (5K), (IOK
) is set in a different arrangement from the above. After the deposit transaction with the customer is completed, the banknotes P of each denomination accumulated at the inner depths of the banknote accumulation/takeout portions 16, 17, and 18 are respectively taken into the banknote storage cassette 15 by the flapper mechanism 22. It is stored like this.

Next, FIG. 5 shows the flow of banknotes P during the withdrawal operation, in which the banknotes P are taken out by the flapper mechanism 22 from within each banknote storage capacity cellar 1 to 15 of the denomination banknote accumulation/takeout section 16, 17, 18. The banknotes P are transferred one by one to the banknote transport path 3 by the sending mechanism 21.
The banknotes are passed through the inspection section 23, subjected to various types of discrimination, and stacked inside the banknote intake/discharge mechanism 14 via the banknote shift/accumulation mechanism section 32, from where they are delivered to the customer via the deposit/withdrawal lower. In this case, depending on the amount specified by the customer, banknotes P of larger denominations such as 10, '5, and IK are sent out in order, but generally the only banknotes P that are withdrawn are 10,000 yen and 1,000 yen. , 5,000 yen banknotes P are not withdrawn by this type of circulating warrior dispensing device 1.

Therefore, in one of the denomination banknote accumulation/takeout sections 16, 17, and 18,
5, the arrangement of IOK is the inspection section 2 of banknotes P from each section.
3, in the order of the closest banknote collection/transport path to banknotes 3, i.e., the banknote accumulation/removal section 18 in the upper tier is used for 10, which handles the largest number of banknotes, then the banknote accumulation/removal unit 17 in the middle tier is used for 1, and then the banknote accumulation/removal unit 17 in the lower tier is used for banknote stacking/removal section 10. By setting the withdrawal section 16 to 5 for not withdrawing money, it is possible to shorten the transaction time for withdrawing banknotes by a customer or the like. The arrangement of each denomination above is for maintenance from the rear side, and in the case of front side maintenance described later, the denominations are arranged in order from the top: <5K>, (
IOK), (IK>).

Figure 6 shows the flow of banknotes when a banknote P is forgotten and collected.
Withdrawal banknotes P fed into the banknote receiving and discharging mechanism 17 inside
When a customer forgets to take out the banknotes, in other words, there are some customers who come to withdraw cash, only take out their card or passbook and slip and leave after completing the transaction.
The banknotes are immediately sent from the inside of the banknote take-in/discharge mechanism 14 to the collection warehouse 26 located below by the take-in operation of the banknote take-in/discharge mechanism 14, where they are stored. The same applies to the case where the customer forgets to remove the returned banknotes P which are rejected at the time of deposit as described in FIG. Collected in the collection warehouse 26.

FIG. 7 shows the flow of banknotes during the return operation of the banknotes P that were rejected during the above-mentioned deposit. The returned banknotes P are sent to the next banknote receiving and discharging mechanism 14 and returned to the customer, etc. However, since the returned banknotes P are generated during the taking in of deposited banknotes, they are temporarily accumulated in the banknote shifting and accumulating structure 32 and then returned to the customer. Banknote intake/discharge mechanism 14
After the deposited banknotes have been taken in, the return door 38 is opened to take in and release the banknotes 1114.
and return it to the customer, etc.

At this time, the banknote stacking capacity of the banknote shifting and stacking mechanism section 32 can be increased by changing the number of pulses and reducing the amount by which the banknotes are shifted. Additionally, the rejected banknotes P are transferred from the banknote shifting and stacking mechanism section 32 to the banknote receiving and discharging machine 1111.
4, the money may be transferred to the automatic fishing system again by a deposit operation, and the money may be inspected and judged again.

Next, Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 show the flow of banknotes P during automatic scrutinization operation, and the automatic scrutinization is to send out banknotes P from each banknote stacking and discharging section at the end of the day's business or as needed. The number of banknotes is confirmed by passing them through the inspection section 23, counting them while inspecting them, and printing the total on a copy journal, etc. For this purpose, the banknotes P@inspection section 23 of the banknote accumulation/removal section for each denomination are counted. The banknotes are then concentrated in one banknote storage cassette 15 of the banknote accumulation/takeout section.

By the way, FIG. 8 above shows the automatic inspection operation in rear mode R (when maintenance is performed by an attendant from the rear side of the unit 2), and shows the banknote accumulation/takeout section 16 for each denomination in the upper, middle, and lower rows of the front side. All the banknotes P in each banknote storage cassette 15 in 17 and 18 are sent out one by one and are inspected and counted in the inspection section 23, while the rear side is examined and concentrated on the banknote storage cassette 15 in the banknote accumulation/takeout section 19 for loading. and then transferred. At this time, the banknotes P rejected by the inspection section 23 are set in the reject banknote storage section 27B on the lower rear side or accumulated in the reject banknote storage cassette 15A. By doing this, all the banknotes P in the deposit/withdrawal device main body 12 of the machine 2 can be concentrated on the rear side, so that the staff member can open the rear door 2a from the rear side of the machine 2 and remove the banknotes in the banknote accumulation/takeout section 19. Storage cassette 1
5 and the banknote storage cassette 15A of the reject banknote storage section 27B can be pulled out to perform maintenance such as scrutinizing the banknotes P and taking out surplus money.

In addition, FIG. 9 above shows the flow of banknotes P in the automatic inspection operation in the front mode (when the staff performs maintenance from the front side of the machine 2), and in this case, the transaction of the circulation warrior dispensing device 1 is shown. It will be possible to automatically scrutinize 10,000 yen and 1,000 yen bills, which account for the majority of the total, while 5,000 yen bills will be counted manually. That is, here, unlike in the rear mode described above, the front upper banknote stacking and taking out part 18, which is closest to the banknote taking out conveyance path to the inspection part 23, is used for (5K) and also for scrutiny.
The banknote accumulation/takeout unit 17 on the middle stage is set to be used for (10K), the banknote accumulation/takeout unit 16 on the lower stage is set to be used for (1K), and the banknote accumulation/takeout unit 19 on the rear side is set to be used for (1K). Do not use it as it will be inaccessible due to being installed next to a wall etc. However, when automatically inspecting (10
10,000 yen banknotes P and 1,000 yen banknotes P are sent out one by one from the banknote storage cassette 15 of the banknote accumulation/takeout unit 17.16 for banknotes K) and (1K), and passed through the inspection unit 23 for inspection and counting. At the same time, the banknotes are concentratedly transferred to the banknote storage cassette 15 of the upper banknote accumulation/takeout section 18.

Note that the rejected banknotes P are set in the banknote storage section 27A of the lower front side, or are accumulated in the reject banknote storage cassette 15A. By doing this, all the banknotes P can be concentrated on the front side, and the staff member opens the front door 2b from the front side of the machine body 2 and removes the banknote storage cassette 15 of the banknote accumulation/takeout section 18 and the reject banknote storage section 27A. The banknote storage cassette 15A can be pulled out to perform maintenance such as inspecting the banknotes P and taking out surplus money.

Also, as mentioned above, the upper, middle and lower banknote stacking and taking out sections 16° and 17.
Among the 18 banknotes, the banknote accumulation/takeout section 18 on the top tier closest to the inspection section 23 is used for inspection, so that (10K>

The banknotes P that are sent out one after another from the (1K) banknote stacking and discharging section 17.16 collide with the banknotes P that are passing through the inspection section 23 and entering the upper banknote stacking and discharging section 18 in advance. This allows for smooth automatic inspection without any problems. For example, if the middle banknote stacking and taking out section 17 is used for inspection and the top banknote stacking and taking out part 18 is used for (IOK), then the upper banknotes P that are about to enter the middle banknote stacking and taking out part 17 through the inspection section 23 are and lower banknote accumulation/takeout section 16°18
The trailing banknotes P sent out from the inspection unit 23 will collide with each other.
3 and then detouring to the reversing section 25 side, which is complicated and troublesome. Note that the 5,000 yen banknotes P in the (5K) banknote accumulation/removal unit 18 were manually counted by taking out the banknote storage cassette 15.
It is also possible to automatically scrutinize the banknotes in the same way as other denominations by transferring them to the rear banknote stacking and taking out part 19 in advance for inspection and then returning them to the original banknote stacking and taking out part 18 at the time of main inspection. .

Figures 10 and 11 show the flow of banknotes P during automatic loading operation, and automatic loading means replenishing banknotes P as necessary, such as at the start of a day's business or when there are few remaining banknotes. The purpose is to distribute and store banknotes P via the inspection unit 23 into the banknote storage capacity cellars 1 to 15 of each banknote accumulation/removal unit for each denomination.

First, Fig. 10 shows the automatic loading operation in the rear mode, in which an attendant opens the post-loading door 2a from the rear side of the machine body 2 and stores the replenishment banknotes (10,000 yen and 1,000 yen banknotes) P in the banknote storage. When the cassette 15 is inserted into the loading banknote accumulation/takeout section 19 on the rear side, the supplementary banknotes P in the banknote storage cassette 5 are automatically fed out one by one and passed through the inspection section 23 for denomination discrimination, etc. While being inspected and counted, each denomination is divided into 10 predetermined numbers.
The banknotes are distributed and stored in each banknote storage cassette 15 of the banknote accumulation/takeout section 17, 18 of the IK. In general, this type of circulation warrior dispensing device 1 only dispenses 10,000 yen banknotes P and 1,000 yen banknotes P.
It is not necessary to load the 5,000 yen bill P into the 5,000 yen bill P.
If you also wish to withdraw money, it is also possible to automatically load the 5,000 yen banknote P into the banknote accumulation/removal unit 16 in the same manner as described above.

In addition, the banknotes P that are rejected by the inspection unit 23 during the automatic loading are pasted into the lower rear side banknote storage unit 27B.
The banknotes can be set in the banknotes storage cassette 15A or accumulated in the banknote storage cassette 15A. With this, the banknote storage capacity cellars 1 to 15 and the reject banknote storage cassette 15A for banknote loading are completed.
Since it can be inserted and removed from the rear side of the fuselage 2, maintenance on the rear side can be performed by staff.

Also, Figure 11 shows the automatic loading operation in front mode,
An attendant opens the front side 1fj2b from the front side of the machine body 2 and inserts the banknote storage cassette 15 in which replenishment banknotes (10,000 yen and 1,000 yen banknotes) P are stored into the front upper section for loading and (5K) banknote accumulation/takeout section 18. Insert into.

With this, the supplementary banknotes P in the banknote storage cassette 15 are automatically sent out one by one, passed through the inspection section 23, inspected to determine the denomination, etc., and counted, and sorted into each denomination.
10,000 yen banknotes P are stored in the (10K) banknote stacking and taking out section 17 in the middle row.
, 1,000 yen banknotes P are stored in the banknote stacking/removal section 1 for the lower row (1K).
6 will be distributed and stored respectively. Since 5,000 yen bills P will not be withdrawn, there is no need to load them, but if you wish to withdraw them, use the bill storage cassette 15 in which 5,000 yen bills P are manually counted and stored from the front side for loading. It is sufficient to directly set the banknotes in the upper banknote stacking/removing section 18. Further, in this front mode, the bill storage cassette 15 of one bill accumulation/takeout section on the rear side cannot be accessed and is therefore not used. Further, the banknotes P which are rejected by the inspection section 23 during the automatic loading operation are set in the lower part' front side eject banknote storage section 27A or stored in the eject banknote storage cassette 15A. With this, maintenance such as loading supplementary banknotes and storing and removing rejected banknotes can all be performed from the front side of the machine body 2.

Furthermore, FIGS. 12 and 13 show the back side as an auxiliary means in case either of the denomination-specific banknote accumulation/takeout parts stores more than a predetermined number of banknotes and becomes full and cannot be deposited. This figure shows the flow of banknotes P when the banknote accumulation and extraction section 19 for loading is handled as a temporary deposit box.
In Figure 2, the banknote accumulation/takeout section 1 is located in the upper stage 10 in the rear mode.
This shows a case where the banknote full detector 39 detects that the amount of 10,000 yen banknotes P in the banknote storage cassette 15 of No.
1,000 yen, 5,000 yen other than 10,000 yen bill P.
The thousand yen banknotes P are distributed and stored in the predetermined banknote accumulation/takeout section 17, 16 in the same manner as shown in FIG. Side scrutiny.

One loading banknote accumulation/takeout section is stored in a temporary safe 10. In addition, in FIG. 13, the banknote storage cassette 15 of the banknote accumulation/takeout section 17 is shown in the middle stage 1 in the rear mode.
This shows a case where the amount of 1,000 yen banknotes P is detected to be more than a predetermined value, and the various banknotes P deposited at this time pass through the inspection section 23 and other than 1,000 yen banknotes P are divided into 10 and 5 as described above. The 1,000 yen banknotes P are distributed and stored in the banknote accumulation/takeout section 18, 16, and the 1,000 yen banknote P is stored in the temporary safe (scrutiny/loading banknote accumulation/takeout section 19) on the rear side.

Note that the banknotes P stored in the sheet metal are stored in the banknote stacking/removal unit of the corresponding denomination when the banknote stacking/removal unit is no longer full, that is, when it is detected that the amount of banknotes stored has become below a predetermined value.
The banknotes are transferred to and stored in a predetermined denomination-specific banknote accumulation/removal section by utilizing the idle time of the machine when cash withdrawal transactions are not being performed.

In addition, if any of the banknote accumulation/takeout sections for each denomination breaks down, the rear side will be examined as an alternative.

It is also possible to use the loading banknote accumulation/takeout section 19 as a sheet metal in the same manner as described above.

Here, if the above-mentioned banknote circulation type deposit/withdrawal is in the rear side maintenance mode, it is possible to deposit money for transactions at the time of deposit, etc., but if a banknote P that is unsuitable for withdrawal due to dirt, smudges, or folds comes in. , the banknotes P that are unsuitable for withdrawal are determined by the inspection unit 23, and without being sent to the alloy type banknote accumulation/takeout units 16 to 18, they are inspected on the rear side and stored in the banknote accumulation/takeout unit 19 for loading, and each of the banknotes is This prevents a decrease in the banknote storage capacity of the denomination banknote accumulation/takeout sections 16 to 18. In the case of the front side maintenance mode, the banknote accumulation/takeout section 18 for (5K) serves as the banknote accumulation/takeout section for inspection and loading, but the (5K) banknote accumulation/takeout section 18 may be used to collect 5,000 yen banknotes as necessary. In order to avoid any trouble when dispensing money, the banknotes that are not suitable for withdrawal are not stored, but are stored in the banknote accumulation/takeout part 19 for inspection and loading on the rear side in the same manner as described above.

Also, in cases where old banknotes are exchanged for new banknotes, the old banknotes that have been deposited are determined as banknotes unsuitable for withdrawal in the same manner as described above, and are stored in the banknote accumulation/removal section 19 for inspection and loading on the rear side. Do it like this.

By controlling the flow of banknotes with the above-described configuration, maintenance can be carried out by a staff member from the rear or front side as needed depending on conditions such as the installation location of the machine.

Further, since the reject banknote storage cassette 15A can be selectively set in the front and rear reject banknote storage sections 27A and 2'7B, maintenance of the reject banknotes by the staff can be performed from both the front and rear sides of the machine body 2. Furthermore, when the rejected banknote storage cassette 15A is transferred, the reject banknote cassette detector 40 detects it and automatically switches to the front or rear mode, eliminating the need for a special mode switching switch and reducing the cost of the device. It will be possible to reduce the amount of electricity and simplify operation (maintenance).

In addition, in the rear mode, the front three-stage banknote accumulation/takeout section 16,
A total of 4 locations are used: 17, 18 and the rear banknote accumulation/takeout section 19. In the front mode, the front banknote accumulation/takeout section 16.
By using 17.18, deposits and withdrawals, automatic examination, and loading are possible, so maintenance can be performed from both the front and rear sides by staff with only a few changes, including the design, assembly, adjustment, and maintenance of the device.

Furthermore, by changing the arrangement of the banknote accumulation/takeout section for each denomination for 10, 5, and IK between front mode and rear mode, transaction times such as withdrawals can be shortened in rear mode. At the same time, automatic inspection and loading operations in the front mode can be easily performed without any trouble.

Furthermore, even if any of the denomination-specific banknote accumulation/takeout sections becomes full of banknotes, the deposit operation will not be stopped and the deposit operation can be continued by using the inspection 6 loading bill accumulation/takeout section as an alternative temporary deposit box. It is possible. Of course, it is also possible to automatically return the deposit. In addition, banknotes that are not suitable for withdrawal, such as dirty banknotes that cannot be withdrawn during political events, can be separately inspected as described above and taken into the loading banknote accumulation/takeout section 19 for storage.

The above-mentioned banknote circulation warrior dispensing machine was explained with reference to domestic banknotes of 10,000 yen, 5,000 yen, and 1,000 yen, but it can be similarly applied to foreign banknotes, and in this case, the denomination Of course, the units and transaction frequency are different from those of domestic banknotes, but basically they can be applied without any equivalent changes. Further, even if the denomination of banknotes changes due to denomination or the like, the above-mentioned method can be applied in the same way.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the present invention is a banknote circulation type depositing and dispensing device that uses banknotes received as deposits for withdrawal. It has a banknote stacking/extraction unit for loading and unloading, which allows an attendant to insert and remove banknotes, and an inspection unit that determines the authenticity, denomination, etc. of deposited banknotes. Based on the determination results, the banknotes for withdrawal are stored in the denomination-based banknote accumulation/takeout section, and the banknotes inappropriate for withdrawal are stored in the inspection/loading banknote accumulation/takeout section, respectively.
If there are banknotes that are unsuitable for withdrawal, such as dirt, smudges, folds, or IE Volume 1 during the political era, the inspection department will identify the banknotes that are deposited, and the banknotes that are unsuitable for withdrawal will be used normally. This makes it possible to maximize the storage capacity of banknotes that are suitable for withdrawal without putting the inappropriate banknotes into the banknote accumulation and takeout section for different denominations. It is very simple and can be used to withdraw money from the 5,000 yen denomination banknote accumulation/takeout section without any problems as needed, and the device can be made more compact, which has great utility value.
