Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a banknote handling device that is provided with means for inserting a partition sheet between banknotes for different transactions.

Recently, banknotes are stored in the banknote storage section after the authenticity of the banknotes inserted from the outside is determined, the amount is confirmed, and the necessary processing is completed, which is associated with automatic processing means using cards, forms, etc. such as in deposit machines. Handling equipment is being developed. The storage method of this banknote handling device is that whether it is stored by denomination or in bulk, it is necessary to classify the transaction by transaction in order to check and troubleshoot at a later date. Unless the banknotes are followed up and counted, it is not possible to determine which banknotes and how much were inserted in the desired transaction. This is quite a tedious task.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a banknote handling device that can store processed banknotes in a storage section by providing means for easily sorting them by transaction.

In order to achieve the above object, the banknote handling device of the present invention distinguishes the authenticity of banknotes inserted from the outside and stores the banknotes that are determined to be genuine in a safe. A press-fitting container having upper and lower through-holes for temporarily holding banknotes that are identified as genuine for each transaction in a position on the upper part of the safe corresponding to the through-hole provided on the upper surface of the safe, and the press-fitting container. Further, there is a piston pushing plate provided at the upper part of the housing and driven up and down intermittently, and when the piston pushing plate is pressed, banknotes held in the press-fitting container are passed through the through-holes of the press-fitting container and the safe section, and are transferred to the safe. a press-fitting mechanism that is press-fitted into the press-fitting container, and a position corresponding to the through hole between the bottom surface of the press-fitting container and the top surface of the safe, which is arranged between the bottom surface of the press-fitting container and the top surface of the safe section, and before the piston pushing plate performs the press-fitting operation. a tape insertion part for inserting a tape-like partition paper into the press-fit container, a spring mechanism that holds the press-fit container vertically movably and keeps the press-fit container in the banknote storage position when the piston push plate is not pressed, and a press-fit container that accompanies the press-fit operation. A cutter is provided on the side of the press-fitting container that descends when the container is pressed to cut the inserted partition paper, and the cutter is provided on the side of the press-fitting container to cut the inserted partition paper when the container is pressed. This method is characterized by inserting cut partition paper.

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to examples.

The banknote handling device of the present invention is used in conjunction with an automatic processing device for transactions using cards, forms, etc., such as an automatic deposit machine. First, an outline of an automatic teller machine will be explained with reference to FIG. In the figure, a card is inserted into a card insertion slot, and a card reader 1 stores the contents of the card in a temporary register 2, and the contents of the card, such as bank code, expiry date, account number, etc., are stored in the central processing unit CPU. In addition to comparing the contents of the customer file 4 with the contents of the customer file 4 using the comparator 3, the customer's password input is compared with the secret number of the card, and if either one of them is different, the card is returned. If these match, the gate of the bill insertion slot opens and the bill processing section 5 (to be described later) distinguishes the amount and its authenticity, and after the necessary processing, the display section 6 displays the amount of the genuine bill.
If the customer sees this and it matches the inserted banknote, the customer presses a confirmation button 8 to accept the banknote and stores the banknote in the banknote storage section 7. If there is no match, all bills will be returned as NG. By completely storing banknotes,
The receipt issuing unit 9 issues a receipt and returns the card to complete the transaction.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of the banknote handling device 11 consisting of the banknote processing section 5 and the banknote storage section 6 in FIG. 1. Bill insertion slot 12 provided on the front side
The shutter 13 of is opened and the banknote 10 is moved to the roller 14 ₁ ,
When the banknotes are fed to a predetermined position by the banknotes ₁₄₂ , the shutter 13 closes and the rollers ₁₄₁ and ₁₄₂ stop, and the vibrating rollers ₁₄₃ and ₁₄₄ vibrate the banknotes to introduce air between the banknotes and separate the banknotes into one sheet. Make it easy to roll out one by one. Next, the banknotes on the top surface are rolled up one by one by the suction cylinder group 16, and the feeding roller 15 and the suction cylinder group 16 perform intermittent sprocket operations, causing the semicylindrical suction roller 16a and the feeding roller 16b to face each other. The suction rollers 16a arranged perpendicularly to each other suck one bill and scrape it up, and the bills are sandwiched between the next feed roller 16b and the payout roller 15 by intermittent rotation.
Next, while the banknote moves along the rollers 17 ₁ , 17 ₂ and 17 ₃ , the width, length and thickness of the banknote are detected at the position of the banknote, and as a result, if the banknote is non-conforming, By operating the gate 19 provided at the exit of the roller 18, the roller ₂₀₁ is moved from the roller 201.
0 ₂ and 20 ₃ , the shutter 21 is opened and the shutter is returned through the discharge port 22. If the size of the banknote is determined as a result of the size detection, the gate 19 is operated and the banknote is sent to the discrimination stage by rollers 23 ₁ and 23 ₂ . First, the posture of the banknote is controlled by the gate 24 so that it is in a predetermined position, and the _banknote is discriminated at several locations in the discrimination section ₂₅ . Then, the shutter 21 is opened in the same manner as described above and returned through the discharge port 22 through the passage above the rollers 28 ₁ and 28 ₂ . If the banknote matches as a result of the discrimination, the gate 27 is operated to guide the banknote through the route with the banknote guide 29 and the roller 30 is stopped.
Banknotes 10 are stored for each transaction on the passages ₁ and ₃₀₂ , and the banknotes are collectively transferred to the rollers ₃₀₁ and _302.
The roller 3 is driven between the rollers 30 ₂ and 30 ₃ .
1 ₁ and 31 ₂ and set it at a predetermined position in the press-fit container 32 of the pusher section 40 of the banknote storage section. As will be described in more detail later, in the pusher section 40, bills are stored and held by being press-fitted into the lower safe section 50 through the bottom plate hole of the press-fitting container 32, which is slightly smaller than the bill shape, by an intermittent press-fitting mechanism.
In addition, if the result of identification is nonconformity and you want to return all transactions at once, depending on the route, roller 3
0 ₁ , 30 After storing in the _upper passage, roller 3
0 ₁ , 30 ₂ are reversed and the banknote 10 is transferred to the roller 28
₁ , 28 ₂ and can be returned through the discharge port 22 . In the lower part of the figure, a vacuum pump 51 and air filters 52 and 53 for local exhaustion and suction are provided to ensure normal and smooth movement of banknotes through the banknote passage, gate, suction cylinder group 16, etc.

The configuration described above is similar to that of a conventional bill handling device, and as it is, when trouble occurs, the amount and bill in each transaction are not particularly distinguished, so it will be quite troublesome to extract this information later.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention, and shows an example of a configuration in which the present invention is applied to the pusher section 40 and safe section 50 of FIG. 2. In the figure, banknotes 10'' stored in bulk for each transaction pass through the aforementioned route between the rollers 31 ₁ and 31 ₂ and are placed at predetermined positions in the press-fit container 32, that is, on the upper and lower plates, which are slightly smaller in size than the banknotes. The through hole is set in the position where the through hole is provided, and the piston press plate 35, which is linked to the crank disk 36 driven by the motor 37 from above, is inserted into the banknote 10'' through the through hole ₄₃₁ in the upper plate of the press fit container 32 intermittently. By applying a _pressure of
0 through the upper surface through hole 44, and is configured to be stored on a storage base plate 45 supported by a spring 46. In the present invention, the press-fit container 32 and the safe section 50 are further provided.
For example, a tape-shaped partition paper is inserted between the top surface of the banknote and the banknote, and the banknote is cut and inserted at the same time as the banknote is press-fitted. That is, as shown in the figure,
Partition paper roll 4 supported on the side of safe section 50
1, the partition paper 39 is passed between the rollers 38 ₁ and 38 ₂ onto the upper surface of the safe section 50 and stopped when the tip reaches the position of the detector 42 . On the other hand, a cutter 34 is attached to the side surface of the press-fit container 32, and spring mechanisms 33 ₁ and 33 ₂ are provided to hold the press-fit container 32 so as to be movable up and down. Press-fit container 3
3, when the piston push plate 35 is not pushed down,
The spring mechanisms 33 ₁ and 33 ₂ keep the banknotes in a position where they can be stored, as shown in FIG. Due to the resistance force when passing through the through hole 43 ₂ in the lower plate of the spring mechanism 33
₁ , 33, _{and 2} , and is displaced downward by a predetermined stroke. Along with this, the cutter 34 operates to cut the partition paper 39, and the partition paper 39 is placed at the bottom of the banknotes 10'' that are bundled by transaction.
These are inserted through the upper surface through hole 44 of the safe 50, placed on a storage base plate 45 supported by a spring 46 in the safe section, and stored and held so as to be sandwiched between the lower portions of the upper surface through hole 44 of the safe section.

Furthermore, although the above-described embodiments have been described with respect to banknotes, it goes without saying that the present invention can be similarly applied to securities of a certain format.

As explained above, according to the present invention, by providing a means for inserting a partition paper between banknotes for each transaction in a banknote handling device associated with an automatic transaction processing device, problems can be avoided later. When re-investigating the amount or banknotes of a transaction, this can be done very easily and reliably.
