Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention is a banknote circulation system installed in, for example, a bank, etc., in which banknotes deposited by a customer etc. can be used as bills for withdrawal to another customer etc. Regarding the detailed examination of the banknote device and the loading method, we will particularly examine the banknote circulation and dispensing device, which allows staff to selectively perform maintenance such as inserting and removing operational funds from either the front or rear side of the machine. Concerning loading method.

[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 devices that allow customers to make deposits and withdrawals by themselves have been installed and used, and they are also being installed and used unmanned in department stores, supermarkets, and other stores, and will continue to be used in the future. It is expected that the number of machines in use will continue to increase. Against this background, improving the efficiency of operating funds within the aircraft and rationalizing personnel efficiency is an important issue for financial institutions. A banknote circulation type deposit/withdrawal device that allows banknotes to be used directly as withdrawal banknotes to other customers has become indispensable.

By the way, as mentioned above, these banknote circulation type personal withdrawal devices have been installed not only inside banks and step-in corners, but also outside financial institutions such as department stores and supermarkets, regardless of the location. However, with the conventional inspection and loading method, which allowed maintenance only from the rear side of the aircraft, there was a problem that maintenance could not be performed if the aircraft was installed with the back side against the wall of a building, for example. There has been a growing demand for a closer look and loading method for the banknote circulation warrior dispensing device, which can be installed in any location without any inconvenience and can be maintained freely from either the front or the rear.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention has been developed in view of the above circumstances, and allows maintenance such as insertion and removal of operational banknotes and banknotes from either the front or rear of the aircraft by an attendant at any time, without any inconvenience at any location. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for examining and loading a banknote circulation warrior dispensing device that can be easily installed and used.

[Summary of the invention]

The inspection loading method of the banknote circulation warrior dispensing device of the present invention is a banknote circulation warrior dispensing device which has an operation section operated by an operator on the front side and uses banknotes accepted as deposits for withdrawal. A plurality of first banknote stacking/retrieval parts provided on one of the front side and the rear side of the device, and a second banknote that allows banknotes to be inserted and removed by an attendant provided on the other side of the device. a stacking/taking-out section; an inspecting section for discriminating banknotes when storing and taking out bills from each of the first bill stacking/taking-out sections; and a reject banknote storage section in which a rejected banknote storage cassette is selectively set to store the discriminated banknotes, and at least one of the plurality of first banknote accumulation/takeout sections is operated by an attendant to remove banknotes. It has a structure that can be inserted and removed, and depending on the maintenance direction, the staff member can selectively switch it for inspection and loading using one of the banknote accumulation and extraction parts that can be inserted and removed, and also set the rejected banknote storage cassette on the maintenance direction side. This is a configuration designed to do this. In other words, when staff perform maintenance from the rear side of the aircraft, the banknote stacking/retrieval section where banknotes can be inserted and removed by the staff on the rear side should be carefully inspected.

For loading, it is possible to transfer and take out the banknotes in the banknote accumulation/takeout section for each denomination, or to transfer the banknotes loaded by the staff into the banknote accumulation/takeout section on the rear side into the banknote accumulation/takeout section for each denomination. It can be distributed and stored to prepare for withdrawal to customers, etc., and conversely, when the staff performs maintenance from the front side, the banknote stacking/unloading part that allows the staff on the front side to insert and remove banknotes is inspected and loaded in the same manner as described above. This allows staff to take out banknotes from the front side and replenish banknotes for withdrawal.In addition, the banknote storage cassette can be placed in the banknote storage cassette on the rear side of the machine for maintenance. In addition, in the case of maintenance on the front side, it can be removably inserted into the paper money storage section on the front side of the aircraft.
It is possible to store banknotes that are determined to be inappropriate for dispensing during the above-mentioned examination, loading operation, etc., and to allow the staff to take them out either before or after maintenance.

The adult cash dispensing device 1 can be switched between a rear mode and a front mode for depositing and withdrawing money, automatic examination, loading operations, etc., which will be described later.

Accordingly, various operating modes (front view) of the banknote circulating adult dispensing device 1 based on the detailed examination of the present invention and the loading method are as follows.

The banknote conveyance path (including rear surface maintenance) will be explained with reference to FIGS. 4 to 13. Here, the banknote conveyance route is shown schematically to make it easier to understand, and in the figure, IK indicates the place where banknotes P of 1,000 yen, 5, 5,000 yen, and 10, 10,000 yen are accumulated and stored by denomination. do.

First, Figure 4 shows the flow of banknotes P during the deposit operation.
The banknotes P input as a bundle from the deposit/withdrawal lower are conveyed one by one to the banknote transport path 30 in the direction of the solid arrow by the banknote inlet/discharge mechanism 14, and are passed through the inspection section 23 for various types of discrimination (overlapping). Conveyance, authenticity.

(Identification of front and back, denomination, dirt, feed pitch, skew, etc.)
be done. Then, the banknotes P that are determined to be unable to be deposited are sorted as shown by dotted lines and stacked as returned banknotes in the banknote shifting and stacking mechanism section (reject stacking section) 32. How to return the returned banknotes to the customer will be described later. Also, among the banknotes P that were determined to be depositable, genuine banknotes P were inserted upside down.
is passed through the banknote reversing unit 25, reversed, and merges with the transport path 30A of the front banknote P. At this time, the length and conveyance speed of the two-way conveyance path for separating and conveying the back and front sides 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 then sorted by the sorting gate 31 according to the denominations determined by the inspection section 23.
The banknotes are stacked by the stacking wheel 20 in the first plurality of banknote stacking/unloading sections 16, 17, and 18 on the front side corresponding to each denomination, respectively. In other words, 1,000 yen banknotes are stored in the banknote stacking/retrieving unit 17 in the middle section of the front side indicated by IK, 5,000 yen banknotes are stored in the banknote stacking/outputting unit 16 in the lower front section shown at 5, and 10,000 yen banknotes are stored in the upper bankboard on the front side indicated by IOK. The banknotes are accumulated in the banknote accumulation/removal section 18. In addition, the above IK
, 5, and 10 can be selected as appropriate.The above-mentioned arrangement is for when maintenance is to be performed from the rear side, which will be described later.On the contrary, when maintenance is to be performed from the front side, the arrangement from 4th to 10th (1k) in the figure.

('', 5'K) ', (10K) is set in a different arrangement from the above.Therefore, each banknote accumulated at the inner depth of the first banknote accumulation/takeout section 16, 17, 18 on the front side. After the deposit transaction with the customer is completed, the banknotes P by denomination are taken into each banknote storage cassette 15 by the flapper 2m mechanism 22 and stored.

Next, FIG. 5 shows the flow of banknotes P during the withdrawal operation, in which they are taken out by the flapper mechanism 22 from inside each banknote storage cassette 15 of the first banknote accumulation/takeout section 16° 17.18 on the front side. The banknotes P are sent out one by one to the banknote conveyance path 30 by the sending mechanism 21, passed through the inspection section 23, subjected to various types of discrimination, and accumulated inside the banknote intake/discharge mechanism 14 via the banknote shift/accumulation mechanism section 32. and from there it is passed on to the customer via the Deposit/Withdrawal Loa. In this case, depending on the amount specified by the customer, banknotes P of large denominations such as 10, 5, IK etc.
However, the banknotes P that are generally withdrawn are often only 10,000 yen and 1,000 yen, and 5,000 yen banknotes P are not withdrawn by this type of banknote circulation adult dispensing device 1. Therefore, IOK
The banknotes P are arranged in the order of the distance from each section to the examination section 23, i.e., the upper banknote stacking and retrieving section 18 is used for handling the largest number of banknotes, followed by the middle banknote stacking and retrieving section 10. By setting the banknotes 17 to 1 and the lower banknote accumulation/removal unit 16 to 5, which does not allow withdrawal, it is possible to shorten the transaction time for a customer or the like to withdraw banknotes. 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), (1
K).

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. Note that even if the customer forgets to remove the returned banknote P that was rejected at the time of deposit as described in FIG. It is 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 previous banknote receiving and discharging mechanism 14 and returned to the customer, etc. However, since the returned banknotes P are generated during the taking of deposited banknotes, they are temporarily accumulated in the banknote shifting and accumulating mechanism section 32 and then returned to the customer. Banknote intake/discharge mechanism 14
After the deposited banknotes have been taken in, the return vinegar 38 is released to release the banknotes into the banknotes taking in and releasing mechanism 1.
4 and return it to the customer, etc.

At this time, the banknote stacking capacity of the banknote shifting/accumulating structure section 32 can be increased by changing the number of pulses and reducing the amount of banknote shift. Alternatively, the banknotes P that have been rejected may be automatically retrieved from the banknote shifting/accumulating mechanism section 32 via the banknote loading/discharging mechanism 14 by a depositing operation and inspected 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 out the total on a copy journal, etc. For this purpose, the banknotes P in each denomination banknote accumulation/removal section are sent to the inspection section 23. Then, the banknotes are concentrated in one banknote storage cassette 15 of the banknote accumulation/removal section.

By the way, FIG. 8 above shows the automatic inspection operation in the rear mode (when maintenance is performed by the staff from the rear side of the machine body 2), and shows the automatic inspection operation in the first upper, middle, and lower banknote stacking/retrieval portions 16 on the front side. 17. All the banknotes P in each banknote storage cassette 15 of 18 are sent out one by one and inspected and counted in the inspection section 23, while being inspected at the rear side of the second inspection and loading bill stacking/taking-out section 1.
The banknotes are transferred in a concentrated manner to the banknote storage cassette 15 of No.9.

At this time, the IC banknotes P rejected by the inspection section 23 are set in the lower rear side gluing banknote storage section 27B or stacked in the 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 side 1fi2a from the rear side of the machine 2 and access the second banknote accumulation/takeout section. 19
banknote storage cassette 15 and reject banknote storage section 27
By pulling out the B paste banknote storage cassette 15A, it is possible to carry out maintenance such as examining and taking out operating funds and banknotes.

Further, FIG. 9 above shows the flow of banknotes P during the automatic inspection operation in the front mode (when the staff performs maintenance from the front side of the machine body 2). It will enable automatic scrutiny of 10,000 yen and 1,000 yen bills, which account for the majority of transactions, while 5,000 yen bills will be counted manually. In other words, unlike the above-mentioned rear mode, in this case, among the first bill stacking and taking out sections on the front side, the banknote stacking and taking out section 18 on the front upper stage, which is closest to the bill taking out and conveying path to the inspection section 23, is selected (5K). The banknotes are set to be used for both banknote and inspection purposes, with the middle banknote stacking and taking out unit 17 being used for (10K>) and the lower banknote stacking and taking out unit 16 being used for (1K).
The second banknote accumulation/takeout section 19 on the rear side is not used in the rear mode because it is inaccessible because the machine body 2 is installed in contact with a wall or the like. However, during automatic inspection (10K
) and (1K) banknotes are sent out one by one from the banknote storage cassette 15 of the banknote accumulation/takeout unit 17. However, the banknotes are concentratedly transferred to the banknote storage cassette 15 of the examination banknote accumulation/takeout section 18 in the upper stage. Note that the rejected banknotes P are set in the lower front side of the reject banknote storage section 27A or are stored in the reject banknote storage cassette 15A.
accumulated within. By doing this, all the banknotes P can be concentrated on the front side, and the staff member can move from the front side of the form 2 to the front side i.
2b, the banknote storage cassette 15 and the reject banknote storage cassette 15A of the first inspection banknote accumulation/takeout section 18 are pulled out to carry out maintenance such as inspection and removal of operating funds and banknotes. It becomes possible. In addition, as mentioned above, among the first upper, middle and lower banknote stacking and taking out parts 16, 17, 18, the top banknote collecting and taking out part 18, which is closest to the banknote taking out conveyance path to the inspection part 23, is used for inspection. During the automatic inspection operation, the banknotes P sent out one after another from the banknote accumulation/takeout unit 17.16 for (IOK) and (1K) pass through the inspection unit 23 in advance to the banknote accumulation/takeout unit 18 in the upper stage. Smooth automatic examination is possible without colliding with the incoming banknotes P. For example, the banknote stacking and taking out unit 17 in the middle stage is used for inspection, and the banknote stacking and taking out unit 18 in the upper stage is used for inspection.
(10K), the preceding banknotes P that are about to enter the banknote stacking and taking out unit 17 in the middle stage through the inspection unit 23 are sent out from the banknote stacking and taking out units 16 and 18 in the upper and lower tiers and directed toward the inspection unit 23. The trailing bills P collide with each other,
In order to avoid this, it is necessary to take complicated and troublesome measures such as passing the scrutinized banknote P through the inspection section 23 and then detouring it to the reversing section 25 side. Note that although the 5,000 yen banknotes P in the (5K) banknote accumulation/takeout section 18 are counted manually by taking out the banknote storage cassette 15, the banknotes P are counted manually in the second banknote accumulation/takeout section 19 on the rear side for inspection. Alternatively, the banknotes may be transferred and then returned to the original banknote accumulation/takeout section 18 at the time of actual examination, thereby allowing automatic examination in the same manner as with other denominations.

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 the remaining amount of banknotes P is low. The bill P is distributed and stored in the bill storage cassettes 15 of the respective bill accumulation/takeout sections for each denomination via the inspection section 23.

First, Figure 110 shows the automatic loading operation in the rear mode, in which the staff opens the rear [R2a] from the rear side of the machine body 2 and shows the banknote storage cassette in which replenishment banknotes (10,000 yen and 1,000 yen banknotes) P are stored. 15 into the second loading banknote accumulation/takeout section 19 on the rear side, the supplementary banknotes P in the banknote storage cassette 5 are automatically sent out one by one and passed through the inspection section 23 to determine the denomination. While the banknotes are being inspected and counted, each denomination is placed in the first predetermined position 10 on the front side of the IK banknote stacking and taking out section 17°1.
The banknotes are distributed and stored in eight banknote storage cassettes 15. In general, this type of banknote circulation adult dispensing device 1 only dispenses 10,000 yen banknotes P and 1,000 yen banknotes P, so loading 5,000 yen banknotes P into the banknote accumulation/takeout section 16 in the lower row 5 is not possible. Although it is not necessary, if 5,000 yen banknotes P are also to be withdrawn, it is possible to automatically load the 5,000 yen banknotes P into the banknote accumulation/removal unit 16 in the same manner as described above. Further, the banknotes P which are rejected by the inspection unit 23 during the automatic loading are placed in the lower rear side transfer banknote storage section 27B or accumulated in the transfer banknote storage cassette 15A. With this, the bill storage cassette 15 for loading bills and the reject bill storage cassette 15A can be inserted and removed from the rear side of the machine body 2, allowing maintenance of the rear surface by an attendant.

Also, Figure 11 shows the automatic loading operation in front mode,
An attendant opens the front side 1i2b from the front side of the machine body 2 and inserts the banknote storage cassette 15 containing replenishment banknotes (10,000 yen and 1,000 yen banknotes) P into the first upper section on the front side for loading (5K) banknotes. Insert into the accumulation/takeout section 18 □. As a result, 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, counted, and sorted into each denomination. The banknotes P are stored in the (IOK) banknote stacking and taking out section 17 in the first middle stage.
The banknotes are distributed and stored in the banknote accumulation/takeout section 16 for the first lower banknote 1K).

Note that 5,000 yen bills P will not be withdrawn, so there is no need to load them, but if you do decide to withdraw them, use the bill storage capacity cellars 1 to 15 above, which have manually counted and stored 5,000 yen bills P from the front side. The banknotes may be directly set in the first banknote loading/unloading section 18. Further, in this front mode, the bill storage cassette 15 of the second bill accumulation/takeout section 19 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 front side paste banknote storage section 27A or stored in the 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 a second inspection and loading device on the rear side as an auxiliary means in the event that one of the banknote accumulation/takeout units for each denomination is full of banknotes during deposit and the banknotes cannot be deposited. This figure shows the flow of banknotes P when one banknote accumulation/takeout section is used as a temporary deposit box.
In the figure, in the rear mode, 10,000 yen banknotes (10,000 yen banknotes) are stored in the -L stage 10 of the banknote accumulation/takeout section 18.
This shows a case where the banknote full detector 39' detects that the banknote is full, and the various banknotes P deposited at this time pass through the inspection section 23 to determine the denomination, and the 10,000 yen banknote P other than the 10,000 yen banknote P is Yen and 5,000 yen banknotes P are distributed and stored in the predetermined banknote accumulation/takeout section 17, 16 in the same manner as shown in FIG. Therefore, the second inspection and loading banknote stacking/removing section on the rear side is stored there as a temporary IOK safe. In addition, in FIG. 13, the banknote accumulation/takeout section 17 for 11th banknotes in the middle row in the rear mode is shown.
This shows a case where the 1,000 yen banknotes P in the banknote storage capacity hit 15 are detected to be full, and the various banknotes P deposited at this time pass through the inspection section 23 and other than the 1,000 yen banknotes P are IOK as described above.
5, the 1,000 yen bill P is distributed and stored in the banknote accumulation/takeout section 18° 16, and the 1,000 yen bill P is stored in the temporary safe (second inspection, bill accumulation/takeout section 19 for loading) on the rear side. Become.

Note that the banknotes P stored in the above-mentioned board safe are stored in the banknotes of the corresponding denomination when the banknote accumulation/retrieval section is no longer full of banknotes, and the banknotes P stored in the above-mentioned board safe are stored in the designated banknotes by using the free time when no withdrawal transactions are being performed on the machine. It is also possible to transfer and store the banknotes in the banknote accumulation/removal section for each denomination. In addition, if any of the banknote accumulation/takeout units for each denomination breaks down, the second examination is performed as a replacement.

It is also possible to use one banknote accumulation/takeout section for loading as a board safe in the same manner as described above. Furthermore, when old banknotes are surrounded by new banknotes, the above-mentioned plate safe can be used to store a mixture of banknotes of various denominations that can be deposited but cannot be withdrawn.

If the flow of 1-bill coins is controlled 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 device.

Furthermore, since the reject banknote storage cassette 15A can be selectively set in the front and rear reject banknote storage sections 27A and 27B, maintenance of the reject banknotes by the staff can be performed from both the front and rear sides of the machine body 2. Moreover, when the rejected banknote storage cassette 15A is transferred, the reject banknote cassette detector 40 detects it and can automatically switch 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, a total of four locations are used: the first banknote accumulation/takeout section 16, 17, 18 on the front three stages and one second banknote accumulation/takeout section on the rear side, and in the front mode, a total of four locations are used. By using the first banknote accumulation/takeout section 16, 17, 18 of the stage, depositing/withdrawing, automatic inspection, and loading are possible, so the device design 8
Assembling and adjusting.

Maintenance can be performed from both the front and rear sides by staff with only a few changes including maintenance.

Furthermore, by changing the arrangement of the banknote accumulation/takeout section for each denomination for IOK, 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 and easily performed.

Furthermore, even if any of the banknote accumulation/takeout sections for each denomination becomes full, the deposit operation will not be stopped and the banknote accumulation/takeout section for examination and loading may be used as a temporary deposit box instead. It is possible to continue.

Of course, it is also possible to automatically return the deposit. Further, it is also possible to separately take and store banknotes that are not suitable for withdrawal, such as dirty banknotes that cannot be withdrawn during political events, into the banknote accumulation/removal section 19 for inspection and loading.

In addition, a close examination of the above-mentioned banknote circulation type deposit and withdrawal device.

The loading method has been explained for 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, differences in denomination units and transaction frequency will be considered. Naturally, they are different from domestic banknotes, but basically they can be applied without making any equivalent changes. Furthermore, even if the denomination of banknotes changes due to denominations, etc., the same applies as above.
