Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a money dispensing device equipped with a conveyance device that allows objects to be conveyed to be conveyed in different directions simultaneously by a single belt conveyor.

In recent years, for example, banks have installed a money payment device (a so-called teller's machine) equipped with an input device, a storage device, an arithmetic device, and a money counting machine at a money payment counter, and the operation keys of this money payment device have been installed at the money payment counter. When operated by a bank employee at the counter, cash is automatically dispensed.

However, such conventional money dispensing devices are simply equipped with an input device, a storage device, an arithmetic device, and a money counter, and simply dispense money corresponding to the amount specified by key operation. Therefore, if there are multiple money payment counters, it is necessary to install one money payment device at each of these counters, which not only increases the space taken up by the devices, but also increases equipment costs and increases the It is economical and
In addition, there was a problem that noise was generated from the money payment device at the counter.

For this reason, the inventor has developed a method for dispensing a plurality of coins with one coin dispensing machine by circulating and conveying the coin dispensing tray between the coin dispensing machine and a coin dispensing window located at a distance from the tray. We have developed a money payment device that can deliver money corresponding to the designated amount to each payment counter.

This invention was made in connection with the above development, and by making it possible to simultaneously convey objects to be conveyed in different directions by one belt conveyor, for example, currency can be conveyed by one belt conveyor. It is an object of the present invention to provide a conveying device capable of simultaneously conveying a payment tray from the vicinity of a coin dispensing machine toward a coin payment counter and in the opposite direction.
