Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a banknote handling device having a function of processing forgotten banknotes, etc. in an automatic teller machine.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when you want to pay out cash at an automatic teller machine, you insert your card into the card slot, enter your PIN number and the amount to be paid out, and then the banknotes 2 are fed out from the banknote storage box 1 as shown in FIG. The cash is accumulated on the rotatable stage 4 of the cash dispensing port 3 along the route of arrow B. On the other hand, receipts 6 are taken in from the receipt printing unit 5 along the routes of arrows C and B, stacked on top of the stacked banknotes 2, and the shutter 7 is opened to pay the banknotes 2 and receipts 6 to the customer.

At this time, if the customer forgets to take the banknotes 2, etc., the shutter 7 will automatically close after 60 seconds, and the stage 4 on which the banknotes 2, etc. that were left behind will rotate in the direction of the arrow. Banknotes 2
etc. are collected in the reject box 8. Also, banknotes rejected by the banknote validator 9 due to one run of the banknotes 2 during a payment transaction are also collected in the reject box 8 along the route of arrow E.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, in this conventional example, the banknotes, etc. that the customer has forgotten to remove, are mixed into the transfer box 8 for identification and rejection, which may cause transaction troubles during business hours, such as when the customer If a problem arises, such as when someone realizes that they have forgotten to take a refund and the amount requested for refund differs from the amount claimed by the bank, it will take time to investigate the cause.

In addition, in the event that the total amount of bill payment shown on the counter of the bill handling device does not correspond to the bill 2 actually stored during close inspection after business hours, the bill 2 that was forgotten and the bill 2 that was rejected by discrimination will be checked. There is a problem in that it takes time to investigate the above cases because they are piled up without distinction.

Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the reject box 8 is partitioned off as shown in FIG.
A conceivable method is to install a banknotes 2, etc., which have been left behind in the temporary storage section 10.

However, in such a method, when the customer notices that the banknote 2 has been left behind and requests a refund, the staff member stops handling the automatic teller machine and opens the rear door in order to remove the banknote 2 that has been left behind. Pull out the bill dispensing unit and temporarily take in part 1
The forgotten banknotes 2 are taken out from the banknote 0, the banknote dispensing unit is stored again, and the rear door of the automatic teller machine is closed, so that the banknotes 2 can be handled by the automatic teller machine. Therefore, there is a problem in that a series of operations associated with handling the forgotten banknotes takes time, and also troubles the staff.

The present invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to allow the customer who has forgotten to remove the card by inserting the card into the card slot of the cash dispensing machine and entering the PIN number. Take out banknotes and receipts from the cash dispenser,
The purpose is to reduce the workload on staff and improve operability.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a banknote guide near the inside of a cash dispensing port that is rotated and fixed at each of a customer handling position, a take-in position, and a temporary take-in position, and A temporary receiving box is arranged at a location facing the bill guide when the guide is fixed at the temporary receiving position, and the bills and receipts stored in the temporary receiving box are conveyed to the cash dispensing port via the bill guide. It is characterized by being provided with a conveying means.

[Effect]

In the present invention having the above features, when a customer forgets to take banknotes or receipts, the banknote guide in the customer handling position is rotated to the temporary take-in position, and the banknotes or receipts in the banknote guide are temporarily placed in the take-in box. When a customer realizes that they have forgotten to take the banknotes into the automatic teller machine, they can insert the card into the card slot of the automatic teller machine and enter their PIN number. The banknote guide is then rotated to the customer handling position to take out the banknotes and receipts that the customer has forgotten to take out from the cash dispensing port.

In FIGS. 1 and 3, 11.11a is a banknote guide, which is arranged parallel to each other and near the inside of the cash dispensing port 12.
A short shaft 14 is fixed to a frame member 13 attached to each side, and the short shaft 14 is rotatably mounted on a side frame 15 by a bearing 16, and is placed at an intake position S1, a customer handling position T, and a customer handling position T, as shown in FIG. It is rotated and fixed at each position of the temporary take-in position U.

Reference numeral 17 denotes a conveying means, which includes rollers 19 and the like arranged at the notches 18 formed in the banknote guides 11 and 11'a. 20 is a temporary receiving box, and the banknote guide 11.11a
When the banknote guides 11, 11a are temporarily fixed in the U inside the receiving box
There are two conveyor holes in the center of both sides.
1. Reference numeral 22 denotes a conveying means, which includes a roller 23 and a belt 24 stretched around the roller 23, and is provided at the conveying hole 21 of the temporary receiving box 20 so as to be openable and closable by a drive means (not shown). 25 is the 7th engineer, temporary intake box 2
Provided on the opening side of 0. 2T is a second sensor, which is provided at the bottom of the temporary intake box 20. A shutter 28 is provided inside the cash dispensing port 12 so as to be openable.

In FIGS. 4 and 5, 29 is a card insertion slot provided on the upper right side of the front panel of the automatic teller machine. A keyboard 30 is provided in front of the cash dispensing port 120 provided on the right side of the lower operation panel of the automatic teller machine. A display 31 is provided next to the keyboard 30 and displays and guides the customer regarding operation details.

Reference numeral 32 denotes a card read/printer unit, which has a read/write section that reads and writes the magnetic stripe of the inserted card, and a printing section that prints transaction details on a receipt.
