Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention temporarily holds deposited banknotes in an accumulated state, and when payment is approved, the temporarily held banknotes are stored in a separate banknote storage section and the banknotes are returned at the time of deposit. 2 is a shield-ring type banknote withdrawal system in which temporarily reserved banknotes are returned to the operator, and when B4 gold is used, deposited banknotes stored in the withdrawal banknote storage section behind the type-specific banknote storage section are fed out. The present invention relates to a banknote storage device.

(Prior art) Conventionally, in this type of machine, deposited banknotes are fed in one by one into a transaction opening and identified by an identification section, and genuine banknotes are traded in a mixed state of multiple denominations. They will be temporarily held in a bulk temporary holding area near the entrance.

When the operator approves the deposit, bills are fed out one by one from the collective temporary storage section and stored in the bill storage section through the identification section or another identification section.

Additionally, if the operator disapproves the deposit, the money is returned to the operator in bulk.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The above-mentioned conventional machines are intended to quickly return the deposited banknotes if the operator disapproves the deposit.However, this type of machine has become widespread. As time goes by, the usage status by operators has been ascertained, and the results show that there are very few operations by operators to disapprove deposits, and operations to approve deposits account for the majority.

However, even if the deposit approval operation is performed, it takes a very long time to store the banknotes from the bulk temporary storage section to the banknote storage section, and there is a problem in that it is impossible to proceed to the next depositing or dispensing operation.

In order to solve this problem, we have devised a means for temporarily storing banknotes in each temporary storage space by providing temporary storage spaces corresponding to banknote storage units for each denomination. However, this also requires a mechanism for storing banknotes from the temporary holding space into the banknote storage unit when the deposit is approved, and a mechanism for returning the temporarily held banknotes from the temporary holding space to the operator when the deposit is not approved. It is necessary to provide a mechanism for each temporary holding space. 5゜Thus, with the above means, it is necessary to provide each of the above mechanisms for each temporary holding space, so a large space is required for the machine. , which brings about the problem that the ti machine becomes large.

Therefore, the present invention focuses on temporarily storing banknotes by using the banknote storage space of the banknote storage section, and devises a banknote storage device that can do this.
For example, by replacing the conventional banknote storage section with this device, the problems associated with temporary holding of conventional banknote depositing and dispensing machines can be solved.

That is, in the present invention, the bill storage space of the bill storage section can be used to temporarily store bills.

They are counted as they pass and are dispensed to the dispensing port 4.

In this case, is it considered a rejected banknote? The rejected banknotes are discharged to a reject port 15 located at the bottom of the receiving port 5. The rejected banknotes are distinguished, for example, as normal banknotes and unfit banknotes as rejected banknotes, or as normal banknotes and unfit banknotes as rejected banknotes.

Note that one side edge in the banknote width direction in the present invention does not mean one side edge in the longitudinal direction of the banknote, but refers to the transport width direction of the banknote, and when the longitudinal direction of the banknote is the transport direction, the banknote This corresponds to one side edge in the short direction. In addition, the bill width regulating member is installed in the storage section of the deposited bill storage and feeding device.
Needless to say, it is not necessary to provide it on the side of the banknote conveyance path to the device.

In addition, although the identification unit of this embodiment uses a common identification method for identifying deposited banknotes and disbursed banknotes, the recognition level for disbursed banknotes is set loosely compared to the recognition level for deposited banknotes. The front/back discriminating element may be used only at the time of deposit, for example, to distinguish between deposited banknotes and disbursed banknotes.

Further, in the case where the banknote storage unit for withdrawal of the present invention has a temporary storage unit corresponding to each denomination, the banknote storage unit including the temporary storage unit is treated as the banknote storage unit for withdrawal. In this embodiment, the upper space in the storage section is shared by the partition 413C for entry and exit into the storage section and for the hour of the pedestal, but the space dedicated to 7 o'clock storage is provided for each storage section. may be provided.

In addition, the banknote storage unit for dispensing in this example accepts and dispenses banknotes through the upper opening; It can be anything.

In addition, although this embodiment adopts the temporary storage format 6, it is also possible to not adopt the temporary storage format, that is, to stack and store banknotes directly on the holder 3BJ without providing the partition material 3C in this example.

On the other hand, the banknotes may be temporarily reserved in batches 1pj. For example, in FIG. 1, the banknotes inserted into the receiving slot 5 for 5 RA are fed in one by one through the feeding means 7, and the genuine banknotes are sent through the identification path 9 from before the front/back reversing mechanism 11 to the conveyance path 42 into the space. The storage unit 27 temporarily holds the collection. At the time of stacking, one side edge of the stacked banknotes is moved inward from the flange portion 22A by the guide plates 27B and 27C.

When all the banknotes are temporarily held in the space 27, they are fed into the retracting unit 35 through the bells 1 to 24 and the rollers 32, 33 of the pressing plate 26, and the belt 24 and the bells 1 to 25.

When the deposit is approved, the bills are dispensed one by one by the dispensing means 38, and transferred from the conveyance path 40 to each storage section 3 through the loop shown by the solid line in FIG. 32, 33, 34° 3 3 (in this example, the storage section 3.33 and 5.62 are also stored in the storage section). If payment is not approved, transfer route 4
0 directly to the teller payout port 4 and not to the identification path 9. Note that when this deposit is approved, the banknotes that are fed out by the feeding means 38 are moved inward from the flange portion 22A by the guide plates 27B and 27C, so the width is odd! When it reaches the mechanism 10, it is deflected by the flange portion 22Δ, and immediately after that, it is sent into the identification path 9.

In this example, each storage section 3.3 3 1 2, 3, 34.35 does not need to have a temporary holding space above it, and each storage section 3.3 3 1 4, 5, 36' ) The banknotes sent from the banknote receiving slot are directly transferred to each banknote holder 3B, 3.
．． ...just let it accumulate upwards. In addition, when the space part 27 is not used as the collective temporary holding means and it is provided in another location, a member is provided to position one side edge of the banknotes sent into the collective temporary holding means inward from the flange part 22A. That's fine.
