Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an automatic bill depositing and dispensing machine used at counters of banks, etc., and particularly to a circulating bill automatic machine that reuses deposited bills as disbursed bills. This relates to deposit and withdrawal machines.

[Conventional technology]

In recent years, financial institutions such as banks have begun to operate operations by customers themselves or by tellers (counter staff) requested by customers, with the aim of saving labor at counter operations, shortening transaction times, and improving customer service. As a result, automated transaction devices that automatically perform withdrawal transactions have become widespread.

These automatic transaction devices have built-in banknote automatic teller machines that automatically process banknote deposits and withdrawals, and various types of banknote automatic teller machines have been developed in the past. One of these machines is a circulating banknote automatic deposit and withdrawal machine.

This circulation type automatic banknote deposit/dispensing machine stores banknotes that are determined to be genuine and reusable bills by denomination in a safe among the deposited banknotes inserted into the machine. When withdrawing funds, the banknotes are used as withdrawal banknotes.In this way, deposited banknotes can be reused as withdrawal banknotes, which has a very large advantage in terms of efficient management of funds. .

In addition, in addition to the safes for each denomination, a large safe called a bulk safe is removably installed inside the aircraft, and is used to replenish banknotes at the start of work or when there is a shortage of funds in the safes for each denomination. The bulk safe is used to collect banknotes at the end of the work day or when conducting inspections, etc., thereby increasing the workability of replenishing and collecting banknotes.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, the conventional banknote automatic teller machine described above has the following problems.

That is, among financial institutions that own automatic banknote deposit and withdrawal machines, that is, users, there are users who wish to withdraw money uniformly with the front and back sides of banknotes aligned, and users who are not particular about this.

On the other hand, in this type of automatic banknote deposit/withdrawal machine, the banknotes inserted into the machine by the customer or teller are not necessarily aligned with the front and back sides, so the banknotes are inserted into the machine with the front and back sides uneven and are stored in the safe. In order to re-align the front and back of the banknotes and withdraw them, a means for reversing the banknotes is required.Therefore, in order to meet the needs of the above-mentioned users of two banknotes, it is necessary to reverse the front and back of the banknotes. Two types of models had to be prepared: one equipped with this means and one without.

The present invention was made in order to solve such problems, and an object of the present invention is to realize an automatic bill depositing and dispensing machine that can meet the needs of users with a single model without complicating the structure. It is something.

[Failure to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is based on a circulation-type automatic banknote deposit/dispensing machine, and fixes the target of banknotes to be withdrawn from a customer deposit/withdrawal port to either front or face-down banknotes. a first switch means for specifying whether or not the bill is to be withdrawn from the teller deposit/withdrawal port, and a second switch means for specifying whether or not the subject of the bill to be withdrawn from the teller deposit/withdrawal port is fixed to a bill facing either front or face down. It has been established.

[Effect]

The present invention having the above-mentioned configuration allows the deposited banknotes, which are inserted into the aircraft from the customer deposit/withdrawal slot or the teller deposit/withdrawal slot at the time of deposit and is distinguished by the discrimination unit as genuine and reusable bills, to be processed by the front and back sides of the deposited banknotes. Sort and store items in safes by denomination, regardless of their orientation.

When withdrawing money, if the first switch means and the second switch means specify in advance to fix the target of the withdrawn banknotes for each of the customer deposit/withdrawal port and the teller deposit/withdrawal port, Out of the banknotes dispensed from the bank, only the eligible front or face down banknotes will be withdrawn from the customer deposit/withdrawal slot or teller deposit/withdrawal slot based on the classification result of the verification unit, and the banknotes that are not eligible will be withdrawn from the customer deposit/withdrawal slot or teller deposit/withdrawal slot. If you specify that the object of the bill to be withdrawn is not fixed, the bill that has been dispensed from the safe for each denomination and passed through the discrimination section will be stored in the unfit bill box, regardless of its front or back orientation. Withdraw money from the teller deposit/withdrawal port.

Therefore, according to this, by simply switching the first switch means and the second switch means, it is possible to withdraw money by aligning the front and back sides of the banknotes from the customer deposit/withdrawal port and the teller deposit/withdrawal port, respectively. It is also possible to withdraw money without having to arrange the banknotes, and thereby an automatic banknote deposit machine that can meet two types of user requests with one model can be realized at low cost and without complicating its structure.

sent to 1.

The discrimination section 11 determines whether the bill has been sent normally, that is, whether there is any skew, determines whether it is genuine or false, determines whether it is fit or not, and determines the denomination, and then sends it out through the conveyance path 26. However, the banknotes that are determined to be skewed or counterfeit by the discrimination unit 11 and the banknotes for which double feeding is detected by the double-feeding unit 10 are guided by the blades 30 and 31. After all the banknotes have been verified, the banknotes are sent to the customer deposit/withdrawal port 2 and returned to the customer.

On the other hand, the banknotes that are determined by the discrimination section 11 to be genuine and normal without damage, that is, banknotes that can be reused for withdrawal, are guided by the blades 30 to 34 to the 5,000-note safe.
3. Senken safe 14. The stacking means 21a, 22a, and 23a provided corresponding to the ten thousand bill safe 15 are sorted and conveyed, and the stacking means 21a to 23a store them in the temporary holding sections 17, 18, and 19, respectively, according to denomination. Accumulated.

Furthermore, banknotes that are genuine but determined to be unusable due to damage or the like are conveyed to the accumulating means on the replenishment collection box 16a by the guide of the blades 35 to 37 regardless of the denomination, and are transported by the accumulating means 241L to the accumulating means 241L. It is accumulated in the temporary storage section 20.

Then, the total amount of banknotes accumulated in these temporary accumulation sections 17 to 20 is displayed to the customer on a display section (not shown), and when the customer sees this and presses a key to approve the transaction on an operation section (not shown), five Senken safe 13. The partition plates that partition the inside of the 1,000-note safe 14 and the 10,000-note safe 15 from the temporary storage sections 17, 18 and 19, respectively, are evacuated, and the banknotes stored in the temporary storage sections 17 to 19 are stored in the respective temporary storage sections 17 to 19. Each safe 13
~ 15, and the replenishment collection box 16a.
The banknotes accumulated in the temporary storage section 20 are transferred to the feeding means 24.

S36: Wait for the banknotes accumulated in the deposit/withdrawal section 4 to be taken out by the customer.

S37 It is checked whether or not the banknote has been removed. If the banknote has been removed, the process moves to S38, and if not, the state of S36 is maintained for a certain period of time.

S38 i Customer deposit/withdrawal port 2 Nyasota closes S39
The banknote stage of the safe for each denomination that was withdrawn will be lowered,
The withdrawal process will be completed.

Incidentally, if the banknotes are not taken out after a certain period of time in S37, it is determined that the banknotes have been forgotten, and the banknotes 7 are closed and the banknotes in the cashout section are taken in at once by the conveyance path into the taking-in section 6. .

As explained above, when the first switch means 51 is turned on in the withdrawal process for the customer deposit/withdrawal port 2, only the banknotes stacked face up are sent to the cash withdrawal section 4 and are stacked face down. Banknotes are stored in the unfit note box 16 of the bulk safe 16.
When the first switch means 51 is turned ON or OFF, the money is sent to the cash withdrawal section 4 and stored therein, and when it is OFF, the money is sent to the cash withdrawal section 4 and accumulated regardless of whether it is front or back.
By doing so, it becomes possible to withdraw money from the customer deposit/withdrawal port 2 to the customer with the front and back sides of the banknotes aligned, or to withdraw money without aligning the front and back sides of the banknotes.

Next, the withdrawal process for teller withdrawal 03 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 4 I and II as well as FIGS. 1 and 2.

Incidentally, the following explanation will be explained step by step in the same way as in the above case.

When information on a withdrawal transaction is input from the teller trap by pressing a key on an operation section (not shown), the blade 28 is switched by the magnet 41 so as to guide the seven banknotes toward the withdrawal section 8.

S2: The magnet 43 switches the blade 30 to guide the bill toward the blade 28.

Thereafter, the same processing as in FIG. 3 is performed from 84 to S25.

S26 If the second switch means 52 is turned on in advance and the object of the bill to be withdrawn from the teller deposit/withdrawal port 2 is designated as a face-up bill, the process moves to dS27 and is turned off.
+7), the process moves to S28.

That is, as mentioned above, the 5,000-note safe 13° and the 1,000-note safe 14
, and the 10,000-ticket safe 15 are stored with their front and back sides uneven, so it is necessary to turn on the second switch means 52 in advance.
If this is the case, the following processes in S27 and S31 to S33t are performed, and if it is previously set to OFF, these processes are omitted.

S27 It is determined whether or not the banknotes are stacked face up in the dispensing unit 8. If the banknotes are heads, the process moves to S28, and if the banknotes are back, the process moves to S31.

828 The corresponding amount of banknotes to be withdrawn is added to the counted amount to be withdrawn.

S29 The banknote is sent out from the discrimination unit 11 to the conveyance path 26, and the banknote is guided by the blade 30.28.
The money is conveyed toward the dispensing section 8 by.

S30 The banknotes conveyed through the conveyance path 26 are fed one by one into the dispensing unit 8 and stacked.

S31 The magnet 41 switches the blade 28 to guide the bill toward the blade 29.

332 A banknote for which double feeding has been detected by the mechanical double detection unit 10 or a banknote determined to be the back side by the discrimination unit 11 is conveyed by the conveyance path 26, and the banknote is
6, the unfit notes are sent to the unfit note box 16c of the bulk safe 16 and accumulated.

S33 The blade 28 is returned to its original state by the magnet 41.

Note that the processing from 331 to S33 is performed in parallel to the processing from 828 to S30.

S34 It is determined whether the requested withdrawal amount has been sent to the dispensing unit 8, and if it has been sent, the operation of the dispensing means 21a to 23a is stopped and the process moves to S35; otherwise, the process proceeds to S34.
The processing from 8 is continued.

S35 Open the bill holder (not shown) provided in the dispensing section 8 to enable the withdrawal of bills.

S36: Wait for the banknotes to be removed from the dispensing unit 8.

S37 It is checked whether or not the banknote has been removed. If the banknote has been removed, the process moves to S37, and if not, the process continues to wait for the banknote to be removed.

S38 The banknote stage of the safe corresponding to the denomination from which the money was withdrawn is lowered, and the withdrawal process ends.

As explained above, when the second switch means 52 is turned on in the withdrawal process to the teller deposit/withdrawal port 3,
Only the banknotes stacked face up are sent to the payout unit 8, and banknotes stacked face down are stored in the unfit note box 16c of the bulk safe 16.If it is OFF, the banknotes are sent to the payout unit 8 regardless of whether they are front or back. Since the bills are sent and accumulated, it becomes possible for the teller person withdrawal 02 to withdraw money to the teller with the front and back sides of the bills aligned, or to withdraw money without aligning the front and back sides of the bills.

In the above embodiment, mechanical switches are illustrated as the first switch means 50 and the second switch means 51, but it is also possible to use virtual switches under program control.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, when withdrawing money without aligning the front and back sides of the banknotes, the rate of reusing the deposited banknotes as withdrawal banknotes is extremely high, so the efficiency of fund management can be maximized. When withdrawing money with the front and back sides aligned, only one of the front and back banknotes is reused as a banknote for withdrawal, which may reduce fund efficiency.

However, when investigating how customers and tellers insert banknotes into the aircraft, it became clear that although some banknotes were face down, most of the banknotes were inserted face up. The results showed that even if the front and back sides of gold banknotes were made to be aligned, the decline in capital efficiency would be within a range that would not be practical.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the present invention includes a first switch means for specifying whether or not to fix a bill to be withdrawn from a customer deposit/withdrawal port to a bill facing either front or face down, and a teller. A second switch means is provided for specifying whether or not the bill to be withdrawn from the deposit/withdrawal slot is to be fixed to one of the front and back sides, and the respective switch means are used to control the withdrawal from the customer deposit/withdrawal slot. If you specify that the target of banknotes to be withdrawn is fixed for each of the customer deposit/withdrawal port or teller deposit/withdrawal port, only those banknotes will be withdrawn from the customer deposit/withdrawal port or teller deposit/withdrawal port, and banknotes that are not eligible will be withdrawn from the customer deposit/withdrawal port or teller deposit/withdrawal port. Since the banknotes are stored in the unfit note box, by simply switching the first switch means and the second switch means, the banknotes can be withdrawn with their front and back sides aligned from the customer deposit/withdrawal port and the teller deposit/withdrawal port, respectively. It is also possible to withdraw money without having to collect all the funds.

Therefore, there is an effect that one model can meet the demands of users who want to align the front and back sides of the bills to be withdrawn, and users who do not care about aligning the front and back sides of their bills.Moreover, in order to realize this, it is only necessary to provide two switch means. Another advantage is that it does not complicate the structure or increase the price.

A customer deposit/withdrawal port and a teller deposit/withdrawal port; a discrimination unit that discriminates the authenticity, denomination, fitness, front and back, etc. of banknotes; and a denomination unit that stores banknotes by denomination. In the automatic banknote deposit/withdrawal machine having a safe and an unfit note box for storing banknotes that have been identified as unfit notes by the discrimination section, the banknotes to be withdrawn from the customer deposit/withdrawal port are placed face up or face down. a first switch means for specifying whether or not to fix banknotes in one orientation; and whether to fix banknotes to be withdrawn from the teller deposit/withdrawal port to banknotes in either face-up or face-down orientation; and a second switch means for specifying whether the banknote is genuine and reusable. The deposited banknotes are sorted and stored in safes by denomination regardless of their front and back orientation, and when withdrawing money, the first switch means and the second switch means are used to control the customer deposit/withdrawal port and the teller deposit/withdrawal port, respectively. If you specify that the target of the banknotes to be withdrawn is fixed, only the target banknotes, either front or reverse, of the banknotes dispensed from the safe for each denomination will be selected based on the results of front and back discrimination by the recognition unit. When withdrawing money from the customer deposit/withdrawal port or teller deposit/withdrawal port, and storing non-eligible banknotes in the unfit note box, if you specify that the target of the withdrawn banknotes is not fixed, the banknotes will be withdrawn from the safe by denomination. This automatic banknote deposit/dispensing machine is characterized in that the banknotes that have passed through a discrimination section are withdrawn from a customer deposit/withdrawal port or a teller deposit/withdrawal port regardless of their orientation.
