Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] A foreign object sorting means is provided at the bottom of the cash input section, and a cash input section for transporting the sorted foreign objects and a return port for returning the transported foreign objects to the customer are provided. Established.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to an automatic transaction device that handles and trades only banknotes.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 3 is a side view of a conventional automatic transaction device, and
is a one-page diagram showing an example of a failure of a conventional automatic transaction device.

In each figure, 5 is a banknote. Reference numeral 31 is a cash input section where the customer inserts banknotes. Reference numeral 32 denotes a conveyance path, and a mechanism section 3 for performing processing such as discrimination and storage of the inserted banknotes 5.
It is intended for presentation on August 8th. Reference numeral 33 denotes a sending means for sending out all the bills 5 from the cash input section 31 to the conveyance path 32.

34 is the bottom. 36 is a foreign object. 36 is a shutter, which opens and closes when the customer inserts banknotes 5 into the cash input section 31. 37 is a receiving tray, and the foreign matter is sent to the sending means 33.
It passes through and is collected here.

FIGS. 3 and 4 will be explained below.

The customer inputs information necessary for the transaction, such as transaction selection, through the operation surface (not shown) K of the device. Customer makes deposit.

When a transaction requiring the insertion of banknotes 5 into a device such as a fortune teller is selected, the shutter 36 is opened and the banknotes 5 can be inserted.

The customer inserts banknotes 5 into the cash input unit 31 and presses a push button (not shown) on the operation surface. The device detects that the push button has been pressed and closes the shutter 36. When the shutter 36 closes, the sending means 33 starts sending out the banknotes inserted into the cash input section 31. At this time,
If a foreign object 35 is mixed in with the banknote 5, the foreign object 35
Since there is no method to separate foreign objects 35 and banknotes 5,
The banknotes 5 are also sent out together with the banknotes 5 by the sending means 33. The foreign matter 35 sent out passes through the sending means 33 and goes through the conveyance path 32.
It falls due to gravity before it reaches the tray 37 and is collected. The foreign matter 35 collected on the tray 35 is removed by maintenance and repair personnel.

Further, the banknotes 5 inserted into the cash input section 31 are sent out from the bottom of the cash input section 31 by the sending means 33. Therefore, the foreign matter 35 mixed in the cash input section 31 clogs the delivery means 33 and causes damage.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In an automatic teller machine having the above-mentioned configuration, if a foreign object other than a banknote gets into the cash input section, the conveyance path or the like may become clogged, causing a problem. Also, if the foreign object was valuable or needed by the customer, a staff member was called to take it away and the customer did not reveal it.

[Means for solving all the problems] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides the first method.
As shown in the figure, there is a foreign object 11 other than banknotes at the bottom of the cash input section 1.
Bills and foreign objects other than bills 1 are dropped from the gold cash input unit 1.
A sorting means 4 separates the fallen foreign objects 11 into customer 12. A collection of cash input part for transporting to a return port 3 to return a foreign body 11'1. It is possible to prevent failures caused by foreign objects during transportation of the device. In addition, foreign objects such as jt heavy items accidentally mixed in by the customer can be removed from the return port 3.
This can be returned to customer a. Therefore, the customer can return to the return slot 3 without calling the person in charge and without stopping the operation of the automatic transaction device.
It is also possible to collect foreign objects.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a side view of the automatic transaction device of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the sorting means of the present invention.

In each figure, 〇 is the cash input section, where the customer inserts banknotes. Reference numeral 2 denotes a cash input unit that separates foreign objects other than banknotes mixed in with the banknotes and transports them to a return slot, which will be described later. Reference numeral 3 denotes a return port 3, where the foreign objects conveyed by the cash input unit 2 are collected at the return port 3 and returned to the customer. Reference numeral 4 denotes a sorting means for sorting banknotes mixed into the cash input section 1 from the above-mentioned foreign matter. 5 is a banknote. 6 is a conveyance path, 7 is a sending means, and 8 is a transaction processing section. The sending means 7 sends out the banknotes from the cash input section and sends them out to the conveyance path 7, and the conveyance path 7 conveys the banknotes to the transaction processing means 8. 9 is a sorting rod, 10 is a sorting hole, and constitutes the sorting means 4. 11 is a foreign object, and anything other than the stretched and inserted banknotes is this foreign object 11.
It is. 12 is a shutter.

The operation will be explained below.

First, a customer (not shown) inputs conditions necessary for a transaction using a keyboard (not shown) provided on the surface of the device. When a transaction requires the insertion of all banknotes 5 into the cash input section 1, a shutter 12 on the cash input section 1 is opened, and after the customer has inserted the banknotes 5, the shutter is closed. After closing the shutter, the entire cash input unit 1 is tilted from the N side to the B side, and the cash input unit 1 is moved by the sending means 7 provided at the top of the cash input unit 1.
The banknotes 5 are completely sent out from the bank, and the banknotes are sent to the transaction processing means 8 through the conveyance path 6. The transaction processing means 8 discriminates the authenticity, denomination, fitness, etc. of the sent banknotes.

If a foreign object 11 is mixed in the cash input section 1, the banknote 5 and the foreign object 11 are separated by the sorting means 4. In this sorting mechanism, as shown in FIG. 2, banknotes 5 do not fall due to the sorting rod 9 provided at the bottom of the cash input section 1, but foreign objects 11 pass through the entire sorting hole 10 between the two sorting rods.
It falls into the cash input section 2. The fallen foreign object 11 is transported to the return slot 3 by the cash input section 2. At this time, the cash input unit 2 is rotating in the direction of the arrow shown in the figure. The foreign object 11 transported to the return port 3 is returned to the customer.

The banknotes 5 remaining in the cash input section 1 are conveyed to the transaction processing means 8 via the conveyance cash input section 6 by the sending means 7 provided at the upper part of the cash input section 1, and transaction processing is performed.

By providing all the sending means 7 for the banknotes 5 on the upper part of the cash input unit 1 and sending out the banknotes 5 one by one to the transport path 6, it is possible to further send out the foreign objects 11 to the transport path 6 together with all the banknotes 5. lost.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, foreign objects are sorted and returned, so no trouble occurs during transportation. Furthermore, in order to return the foreign object, if the foreign object is, for example, a precious metal, the foreign object can be returned through the return port without having to call for a valet.
