Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a recycle-type automatic teller machine, and in particular, a machine that automatically recycles deposited banknotes as disbursed banknotes,
The present invention relates to a recycle-type banknote handling device that can store banknotes from a recycle box into denomination-specific storage boxes.

[Background of the invention]

Conventionally, methods for recirculating deposited banknotes of multiple denominations as banknotes for withdrawal in a recycle-type automatic teller machine have been disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 65-85967 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 55-5.
As shown in each publication of No. 0460, a method is known in which a plurality of recycling boxes are installed for each denomination of banknotes to be recycled.

However, with this method, recycling boxes must be installed for the denominations and types of banknotes that are to be recycled as banknotes for withdrawal.

A recycling box generally has a complicated mechanical structure such as a temporary stacking mechanism and a bill feeding mechanism, and even one requires a fairly large volume, so it is recommended to have multiple recycling boxes with the structure as described in This not only increases the size and cost of the entire device, but also becomes one of the causes of lowering the reliability of the entire device.

In addition, conventionally, the deposited banknotes were sent to the fil first recycling box.

.

For example, as described in Japanese Patent Application No. 58-048821, after multiple denominations of banknotes to be recycled are stored in one recycling box, the banknotes for withdrawal are placed in a banknote storage box for each denomination. This is a method of appropriating it as a □In this case, each denomination banknote storage box does not have a complicated structure like a recirculation box, and its volume is relatively small, so the volume of the entire device does not become large and there is no decrease in reliability. It takes a long time to prepare before withdrawals can be made, and customers often have to wait due to suspension of use. In other words, this method requires a preparation period in which, after storing deposited banknotes in a recycling box, the denomination is determined, the banknotes are stored in a denomination-specific storage box, and the banknotes are transported from there to the cash withdrawal department. For.

The drawback is that it takes too much time to process the withdrawal count.

The reply message from the solid device is received by the transmit/receive buffer 21 via the transmitter receiver 20. The circuit message set in the transmission/reception buffer 21 is decoded by the reply message decoder 22,
When the output signals 201 to 204 become true values, it is possible to recognize whether deposit transactions are permitted, deposit transactions are prohibited, withdrawal transactions are permitted, or withdrawal transactions are prohibited, respectively.

First, we will discuss the case of deposit transactions.

When a deposited bill is inserted into the bill receiving box 2, the deposited bill insertion completion detection circuit 28 detects the completion of bill insertion, the deposited bill counting command circuit 29 is activated, and the deposited bill is inserted into the bill receiving box 2 as shown in FIG. The deposited banknotes are transferred to a banknote separation box 3, separated one by one, and fed out onto a conveyance path. When passing through the discrimination box 4, the bill discrimination circuit 37 performs authenticity discrimination and denomination determination, and as a result, if the bill is a 1,000 yen bill or a 10,000 yen bill and can be recycled, the bill discrimination circuit 37 When the output signal 205 or 206 of No. 37 becomes the true value, the reflux tube temporary stacker storage command circuit 1835 is activated, and the reflux tube is stored in the reflux tube temporary stacker 8 by the transfer gate 10. In the case of 10,000 yen bills, unfit bills such as 1,000 yen bills that cannot be recycled, and bills of other denominations for which deposit is permitted, the output signal 207 of the two-bill banknote discrimination circuit 37 becomes the true value and is sent to the bill cassette. The temporary stacker storage command circuit 36 is activated, and the banknotes are stored in the temporary stacker 6 for banknote cassettes by the conveyance gate 9. In addition, in the case of a banknote that is not considered to be a genuine note, the output signal 208 of the banknote discrimination circuit 37 becomes the true value, the receipt box storage command circuit 38 is activated, and the transfer gate ]0,9
The banknotes are stored in the banknote receiving box 2 via the banknotes.

When the counting operation for all deposited banknotes is completed, the output signal of the deposited banknote division completion detection circuit 30 becomes the true value. At this time, if there are multiple rejected bills in the bill receiving box 2, the output signal of the rejected bill presence detection circuit 32 becomes the true value, and the AND
Times t+864. The payout opening command circuit 52 is activated via the OR circuit 87 and the AND circuit 78, and the deposit/withdrawal port 1 is opened. The rejected ticket is extracted and received,
When there are no banknotes left in the receiving box 2, the output signal of the rejected ticket merit output circuit 32 becomes a false value, and the output signal of the AND circuit 63 via the inverter circuit 90 becomes a true value. At this time, if the customer approves the amount of the inserted banknote, the output signal of the AND circuit 61 becomes the true value, and the reflux box storage command circuit 33 is sent via the 1 banknote cassette storage command circuit i39 and the OR circuit 85. When activated, the deposited banknotes held in the temporary stackers 8 and 6 are respectively stored in the banknote return box 7 and the banknote cassette 5, and the deposit is completed. □On the other hand, if the transaction is prohibited by the solid device, the output signal 2 '02 of the response message decoder 22 becomes the true value, and O
The banknote return command circuit 40 is activated via the R circuit 81, and the deposited banknotes held in the temporary stackers $ and 6 are transferred to the transport gates 11, 10, . and 9, and are returned to the bill receiving box 2.

Next, the case of withdrawal transaction will be explained.

When the input operation necessary for the withdrawal transaction is completed, the output signal of the withdrawal transaction operation completion detection circuit 25 becomes the true value, and the OR time 18
80, the makeshift message created by the makeshift message creation circuit 23 is gated by the AND circuit 60, and is sent to the transmitting/receiving buffer 21, thereby transmitting the makeshift message to the solid device. As a result of decoding the reply message received from the solid device, if the withdrawal transaction is approved, the output signal @-203 of the reply message decoder 22 becomes the true value, and neither of the denomination storage boxes 14 and 15 is not low.

Via the AND circuits 69 and 70 or 71, the 10,000 yen bill storage box withdrawal command circuit 46. The thousand yen bill storage box withdrawal command circuit 47 is activated. Further, when either of the denomination storage boxes 14, 15 has a low remaining amount, the current circuit 45 for recycling box withdrawal operation is activated via AND@68.

First, the case where the ten thousand yen bill storage box withdrawal command circuit 47 is activated will be described. The number of bills designated for withdrawal is transferred from the corresponding ten thousand yen note storage box 14 or thousand yen note storage box 15 to the discrimination box 4. The banknotes are transported to the bill receiving box 2 via the transport gates 11, 10 and 9.

When all the bills specified for withdrawal have been transferred to the bill receiving box 2, the output signal of the denomination storage box withdrawal operation completion detection port M48 becomes the true value, and the OR circuits 86, 87, and A N
The deposit/withdrawal opening command circuit 52 is activated via the D-time 1I878, and the deposit/withdrawal port 1 is opened only while the output signal of the AND circuit 78 is at its true value. When the payout banknote is removed, the output signal of the banknote removal completion detection circuit 5I becomes a true value, and the output signal of the AND circuit 78 becomes a false value via the inverter circuit 94, so that the deposit/withdrawal port 1 is closed. .

Next, a case will be described in which the reflux box discharge full operation command circuit 45 is activated.

When the specified withdrawal denomination is only ten thousand yen notes, the output signal of the thousand yen note withdrawal instruction detection circuit 43 becomes the true value (at this time, the output signal of the thousand yen note withdrawal instruction detection circuit 44 is a false value),
When the bill fed out from the recirculation box 7 passes through the discrimination box 4, if it is a 10,000 yen bill, the output signal 205 of the discrimination circuit 37 is output.
