Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide an automatic money in/output device with a great capacity by installing a ring belt with universal flap piece, interposing the flap between the stacked banknotes and those which are being stacked temporarily and by moving according to the quantity of temporary stacking. CONSTITUTION:When an input signal is given, an accommodating stage 27 sinks for a certain distance, and a drive motor 25 and a pulley 24 rotate, and a flap of a ring belt 23 equipped with universal flap comes to a temporary stacking part 21 over a banknote accommodation box 26 to be placed on the banknote. If banknotes are cast in thereafter, they are sent separated from a transport path 22 via an identification part one after another to be stacked on said flap of the ring belt 23 of the temporary stacking part 21, and the flap sinks according to the quantity of stacking. When the transaction is finished, the motor 25 rotating allows the banknotes to hold the flap to cause slipping-off from the banknote accommodation part 26. If no transaction is set up, the flap is heaved until banknotes contact a picker roller 29 and returned by a feed roller 30 and a separator roller 31. Thus a great quantity of transaction is accomplished in a smaller construction.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention provides automatic deposit and withdrawal devices installed in banks, etc.
The present invention relates to a banknote stacking device that stacks banknotes taken into the device and stacked in a temporary stacking section in a storage box.

(Prior art) In an automatic deposit/withdrawal device, the banknotes inserted by the customer through the handling slot are separated and conveyed one by one, and a verification section determines authenticity, fitness, and denomination, and determines that the banknotes are genuine. Banknotes are stacked in the temporary stacking section. Thereafter, if the transaction is successful, the banknotes in the temporary stacking section are stored in the storage box, and if the transaction is not successful, the banknotes are transported from the temporary stacking section to the handling port and returned to the customer.

Next, the temporary accumulation bottom plate 3 returns to the temporary accumulation section 1 again by rotating the motor 5 and the driving gear in the reverse direction, and moves until it is detected by the detector 6. On the other hand, if the transaction is unsuccessful, the temporary accumulation bottom plate 3 and the banknotes are pushed up and pressed against the bicker roller 12 along with the banknotes in the storage box 8 by the storage stage 1o. After this, the banknotes on the temporary accumulation bottom plate 3 are
2, separated and conveyed by feed rollers 13 and separation rollers 14, and returned to the handling port through conveyance path 15. Further, in the case of a withdrawal transaction, the motor 5 is driven, the drive gear 4 rotates, and the temporary accumulation bottom plate 3 moves until it is detected by the detector 7.

Thereafter, the banknotes in the storage box 8 are pushed up by the storage stage 10, pressed against the bicker roller 12, and ejected. This fed banknote is fed to the feed roller 1
3. The money is separated and conveyed by the separation roller 14 and withdrawn from the conveyance path 15 to a handling port (not shown).

The above explains the deposit and withdrawal transactions in the automatic deposit/withdrawal device.The number of banknotes required for each transaction is the same as the number stored in the temporary storage section, and the temporary storage section always holds one transaction. needed space.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the device with the above configuration, the number of transactions is limited by the storage capacity of the temporary accumulation section, the temporary accumulation section has a space for one transaction, and the capacity for the movement of the temporary accumulation bottom plate is also limited. Since this is necessary, the device is large and complicated, and furthermore, since the storage stage is moved after the temporary accumulation bottom plate is moved, there is a problem that the operation time is long, and therefore the transaction time is also lengthened. Furthermore, if the banknotes at the top of the temporary stacking section are bent, there is a problem in that even if the storage stage is lowered, the top surface of the banknotes cannot be detected, resulting in equipment failure.

It is an object of the present invention to eliminate the above-mentioned problems, reduce the size of the device, and provide a highly reliable bill stacking device that can handle a large number of bills and short transaction times.

(Means for Solving the Problem) This invention provides a temporary stacking device that separates banknotes already stacked on a bill storage box in an automatic deposit/withdrawal device from newly stacked bills. A ring belt with a flexible tongue that bends freely is provided as a partition plate from the already stacked banknotes, and a driving means is provided for rotating the belt with a flexible tongue according to the amount of banknotes that are accumulated in the temporary stacking section. .

(Function) This invention has the above-mentioned means, and the tongue part of the ring belt with a flexible tongue rests on the already stacked banknotes and acts as a partition plate, and the banknotes to be inserted thereafter are placed on the tongue part. Accumulate. Thereafter, when the transaction is completed, the tongue piece is bent and pulled out from the banknote storage box.

As a result, the inserted banknotes are stored in the banknote storage box,

Next, the operation of the banknote stacking device having the above configuration will be explained.

First, in the case of a deposit transaction, when a deposit transaction signal is transmitted to the automatic deposit/withdrawal device, the storage stage 27 is lowered by a predetermined amount and the drive motor 25 and drive pulley 24 are rotated. As a result of this rotation, the tongue portion of the ring belt 23 with a flexible tongue comes out to the temporary stacking section 21 on the banknote storage box 26 and is placed on top of the banknotes in the banknote storage box 26. After that, when the banknotes are put into a handling port (not shown), they are separated and conveyed one by one, and the banknotes are separated and conveyed one by one.
), and the banknotes that are determined to be genuine are stacked from the conveyance path 22 onto the protrusion of the ring belt 23 with a flexible tongue in the temporary stacking section 11. The storage stage 27 is lowered according to the number of banknotes to be stacked, and the ring belt 23 with flexible tongues rotates in a direction in which the protrusion sequentially moves downward according to the number of banknotes to be stacked.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the state after the temporary accumulation is completed. When a transaction is established in this state, the drive motor 25 and drive pulley 24 rotate upon receiving a signal indicating the transaction is established. With this rotation, the protruding portion of the ring belt 23 with a flexible tongue is bent by the banknotes and pulled out from the banknote storage section 26. FIG. 1 shows a state in which the protrusion of the ring belt 23 with a free tongue is pulled out. On the other hand, after temporarily accumulating banknotes, if the transaction is unsuccessful and the banknotes in the temporary accumulator 21 are returned to the handling port, the operation is as follows: In other words, push up the protrusion of the ring belt 23 with a flexible tongue until the bill comes into contact with the bicker roller 29, and at the same time push up the ring belt 2 with a flexible tongue.
The drive pulley 24 and the drive motor 15 are rotated in the direction in which the protrusion 3 moves upward.

Thereafter, the banknotes in the temporary stacking section 21 are taken out by the bicker roller 29, separated and conveyed by the feed roller 301 and separation roller 31, and returned to the handling port from the conveyance path 32. The protruding portion of the belt 23 is raised simultaneously with the movement of the storage stage 27 by an amount equal to the amount of upward movement of the storage stage 27. When the temporary stacking section 21 runs out of banknotes, the storage stage 17 of the flexible tongue ring belt 23 is pulled back by a drive motor 25 and a drive pulley 24 by a predetermined amount. Further, in the case of a withdrawal transaction, the banknotes in the banknote storage section 26 are pushed up by the storage stage 27 and pressed against the bicker roller 29. Thereafter, the banknotes on the storage stage 2 are sequentially ejected by a bicker roller 29, separated and conveyed by a feed roller 30 and a separation roller 31, and then dispensed from a conveyance path 32 to a handling port (not shown).

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, a ring belt with freely bendable tongues is provided as a temporary accumulation partition plate in an automatic deposit/withdrawal device, and banknotes are accumulated. Since a means is provided to rotate the ring belt with flexible tongues according to the quantity of coins, the number of transactions can be increased without being limited by the capacity of the temporary storage section, and the device is also compact and has a simple structure, which eliminates duplication. Therefore, it is possible to provide a low-cost device that has no additional operations, short transaction time, and highly reliable storage.
