The position corresponding to the customer position a1 is defined as the delivery position c1, and the banknote guides 219 and 220 are tilted at an angle of 45 degrees in the opposite direction to the customer position a1.
The position corresponding to the temporary take-in box 205 is set as the delivery position d1, and the angle of the banknote guides 219 and 220 is changed to these positions by the rotation of the rotating part 204.

A sensor 224 performs full detection of the banknotes 221 in the temporary receiving box 205, and a sensor 225 similarly detects the presence or absence of the banknotes 221 in the temporary receiving box 205.

Further, 226 is a bill stopper that receives the bill 221 inserted between the bill guides 219 and 220 by the customer, and is rotated by a driving magnet 227. It also serves as a sieve to separate the banknotes 221.

Next, the operation of the above-described configuration will be explained.

First, in the case of a payment transaction, the customer presses a payment transaction button (not shown) on the device, and the card 201 is inserted into the card insertion slot 20.
2, and when the password and the desired payment amount are entered, the banknotes 221 for the desired amount are removed from the thousand yen banknote storage box 209 and ten thousand yen banknote storage box 210 shown in FIG. 12 by means not shown. The receipts are taken out and stacked in the first banknote stacking section 212 through the routes of arrows A, B, C, and D, and the receipts with the payment amount etc. printed are discharged from the receipt printing section 214 and are stacked in the tlcl banknote stack. The banknotes 221 of the section 212 are stacked on top of each other. After that, this banknote 221
The receipt then passes through the route of the arrow E and is taken in between the banknote guides 219 and 220 of the rotating section 204, which are waiting at the angle of the receiving position b1.

Here, the rotating unit 204 is rotated in the direction of arrow M1 shown in FIG. 14 under the control of a drive source and a control means (not shown), and the banknotes 221 and receipts are conveyed. When one end of the banknote guides 219 and 220 reaches a position corresponding to the shutter 203, that is, at an angle of the customer position al, the rotation of the rotating part 204 is stopped. During this time, the banknotes 221 and receipts are

22 and 223, and the banknote guide 219
, 220.

In this way, the banknote guides 219 and 220 are placed at the customer position a1.
When the rotating part 204 stops at an angle of
will be paid.

At this time, if the customer forgets to take the banknotes 221 and receipt, the shutter 2
03 is closed, the rotating part 204 rotates again in the direction of the arrow Ml, the banknotes 221 and receipts are conveyed, and the banknote guide 2
19 and 220 reach the angle of the delivery position di corresponding to the temporary intake box 205, the rotation of the rotating part 2040 is stopped.

Then, the clamp roller 222 is driven by a driving means (not shown).
, 223 rotate, and the banknotes 221 and receipts held between the banknote guides 219 and 220 are sent out, and the first
As shown in FIG. 4, it is stored in a temporary receiving box 205.

Note that the banknotes that are discriminated as reject banknotes by the banknote discriminating section 207 along the route C are then sent into the reject box 211 along the routes F and G and collected.

Next, in the case of a deposit transaction, when the customer presses a deposit transaction mill (not shown) and inserts the card 201 into the card insertion slot 202, or inserts a passbook (not shown) into the same passbook insertion slot (not shown), there is a connection between the device and the center. Communication is performed, and when it is confirmed that there is no problem, the shutter 203 is opened.

Here, the customer transfers the banknote 221t from the transaction port to the customer position a1.
When a banknote 221 is inserted between the banknote guides 219 and 220 that are waiting at an angle of When a foreign object such as the like is thrown in, the foreign object passes through the banknote stopper 22, which also serves as a sieve, and is located at the position indicated by the broken line in FIG.
6 passes through and is stored and held in the foreign object tray 215.

Therefore, even if a foreign object such as the coin 228 is thrown in, this foreign object will not fall into the device and cause a failure.

Note that this foreign object is later removed from the device by a staff member at the financial institution and returned to the customer.

Now, when the shutter 203 closes, the bill guide 21
The bill 221 inserted between 9 and 220 is clamped by clamp rollers 222 and 223, and the bill stopper 226 is rotated by the drive magnet 227 to
Evacuate to the position indicated by the solid line in Figure 3.

Then, the rotating part 204 is rotated in the direction of arrow M1 by a drive source and control means (not shown), and thereby the banknote guide 2
19 and 220 are the sending positions t#t (!
When the angle becomes 1, the clamp rollers 222 and 223 rotate and the banknote 221 is moved to the separating and counting section 20 shown in FIG.
Sent to 6.

The banknotes 221 put into the separating and counting section 206 are separated one by one and passed through the route of arrow C) Meanwhile, the banknote discriminating section 20
Banknotes 221 that were verified in step 7 and determined to be depositable here.
are stacked in the first banknote stacking section 212 via the route indicated by the arrow.

On the other hand, the banknotes 221 that are determined to be non-depositable are accumulated in the second banknote stacking unit 213 via the route indicated by the arrow, and from there, the banknotes 221 are routed along the route indicated by the arrow E to the rotating unit 204 waiting at the receiving position b1. The banknotes are fed between the banknote guides 219 and 220, and are held between the clamp rollers 222 and 223.

After that, this rotating part 204 rotates and the banknote guide 219
, 220 is at the customer position [al angle, shutter 2
03 is released and the banknotes 221 that cannot be deposited are returned to the customer.

When this banknote 221 is taken out by the customer, the shutter 2
03 is closed, and the rotating part 204 rotates so that the banknote guides 219 and 220 are again at the receiving position b1.

Then, the depositable banknotes 221 accumulated in the first banknote stacking section 212 are fed between the banknote guides 219 and 220 via the route of the arrow E in the same manner as described above, and are clamped by the clamp rollers 222 and 223. Banknote guide 21
9 and 220 are at the delivery position b1.
After the banknotes 221 are rotated, the banknotes 221 are transferred to the separating and counting section 206 again.
The banknotes are then sent through the routes shown by arrows C, F, and A and stored in the deposit box 208, thousand yen banknote storage box 209, and ten thousand yen banknote storage box 210, respectively.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, in the conventional automated teller machine described above, if a foreign object such as a coin gets mixed in when a customer inserts a banknote,
Although this foreign object can be separated from banknotes and stored in a foreign object tray, the customer cannot take out the foreign object himself, so an employee at the financial institution must perform a prescribed operation to remove it each time. This may cause problems for both customers and staff.If foreign substances are mixed in by multiple customers in a row, the staff may not be able to determine which foreign substance was mixed in by which customer. There are also problems.

The present invention was made to solve these problems, and when a customer inserts a foreign object such as a coin between the bill guides of the rotating section, it is possible to automatically and immediately return the foreign object. The purpose is to realize an automated teller machine.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a stopper capable of receiving both banknotes and foreign objects such as coins on the rear end side of the banknote guide of the rotating part in place of the conventional banknote stopper, and also includes a stopper that can catch both banknotes and foreign objects such as coins, and In addition to providing a foreign matter return port on the front side of the body, the bottom of the temporary receiving box is formed as a separating section with a sieve structure that can receive banknotes but allows foreign objects such as coins to pass through, and this separating section and the foreign matter return port are connected to each other. are connected by a tubular or similar delivery path.

[Effect]

According to the present invention having the above-described structure, when the shutter is opened at the time of taking out the bill, the rear end of the bill guide is closed by the stopper, and after the bill is inserted or taken out, the rotating part is rotated to temporarily take in the bill guide. The angle is set to correspond to the box, and the stopper is operated to open the rear end of the bill guide.

At this time, if there is a foreign object such as a coin between the banknote guides, that is, if a foreign object such as a coin is accidentally mixed in when the customer inserts or removes the banknote, the foreign object will be removed by its own weight. The foreign matter falls into the temporary receiving box, passes through the separating section, and is discharged into the foreign matter return port via the delivery path.

Therefore, according to this method, even if a foreign object gets mixed in when the shutter is opened, the foreign object is immediately returned to the customer, which eliminates the inconvenience of the customer and staff as in the past. This also solves the problem of the staff not being able to determine which foreign objects belong to which customers.

Further, as shown in FIG. 12(I), one end side of the shutter 2 has an inserter frame 5 having a shape that allows a customer to easily insert banknotes 112, and this inserter frame 5.
A guard play) 27 is provided to prevent bills from being accidentally inserted into the gap between the shutter 2 and the shutter 2.
Further, a sponge 28 is provided above the other end of the shutter 2 to prevent the banknotes 112 from entering between the edge of the opening of the housing cover 29 and the shutter 2.

In the front, the part of the rotary part 3 near the bill insertion part that comes into contact with the customer is covered with a shutter 2, so that if a customer puts his or her hand in the rotary part 3 while it is rotating, there is a risk of accidentally dropping an object into the rotary part 3. Prevent it from falling, etc.

The shutter 2 has an arcuate portion that covers the rotating part 3, and both sides are rotatably attached to the shafts 19 and 20.The shutter 2 has a narrow operating range, so it does not take up much space. do not have. Moreover, the shutter 2 is opened and closed by a drive motor 30 shown in FIGS.
It is locked by the upper end of the
The lock lever 31 is driven by the solenoid 32 shown in the figure.
The lock is released by rotating.

The means for operating the shutter 2 is configured as follows. That is, as shown in FIG.
A belt 36 is stretched between a pulley 33 fixed to the rotating shaft of the shaft 34 and a pulley 35 fixed to the shaft 34.
4 has a pin 3T driven into it as shown in Figure 4.
This pin 3T fits into an elongated hole provided in the bushing 38, so that the bushing 38 can slide on the shaft 34 under the guidance of the pin 3T. This bush 3
B is pressed against a pulley 40 fitted to the shaft 34 by a spring 39 mounted on one end of the shaft 34,
When the shaft 34 rotates, a pulley 40 is frictionally driven by the bush 38, and furthermore, this pulley 40 and a shutter drive pulley 41 provided on one side of the shutter 2 shown in FIGS. 4 and 6 are connected. A belt 42 is stretched between them. Therefore, when the drive motor 30 rotates forward or backward, the rotational force is applied to the pulley 33, belt 36, pulley 35, shaft 34, bush 38, pulley 40, and belt 42.
and is transmitted to the shutter 2 via the shutter drive pulley 41, thereby opening and closing the shutter 2. Note that the shaft 3
4 is supported by the side frame 15 and a bracket 43 shown in FIG.
is retained.

On the other hand, the means for opening and closing the clamp rollers 21 and 22 is constructed as follows. That is, a gear 44 is fixed to the shaft 34 as shown in FIG.
, gear 46, and gear 47 are sequentially meshed with each other so that rotational power from shaft 22 is transmitted. t, gear 4
A leaf spring 49 is inserted between 7 and the arm 48, and when the gear 46 rotates clockwise as shown by arrow A, the gear 4T is rotated due to the frictional force between the arm 48 and the gear 4T. It meshes with a cam drive gear 50 rotatably provided on the shaft 19 to drive the cam drive gear 50, but when the gear 46 rotates counterclockwise as shown by arrow A, the gear 4T acts as a cam drive. Rotational power is no longer transmitted away from the gear 50. A cam 51 is attached to the cam drive gear 50, and a plate 52 is attached to the cam drive gear 50.
The cam roller 53 is fixed so as to be positioned above the cam 51, and as the cam 51 rotates clockwise as shown by the arrow, the cam roller 53 moves up and down. The grate 52 is configured to swing around a support shaft 54. A clamp roller arm 55 that pivotally supports the clamp roller 21 is fixed to the middle of the support shaft 54, as shown in FIG.
Therefore, the rotation of the cam 51 causes the flan roller 21 to move up and down. On the other hand, the plate 5 fixed to the post 56 provided on the plate 52 and the other end of the support shaft 54
One end of support arms 59 and 60 attached to the shafts 19 and 20, respectively, is in contact with the post 58 provided at 7, and the other end of this support arm 59 and 60 corresponds to the clamp roller 21. The other clamp roller 22 that forms a pair with this one is attached at both ends of the nine-roller shaft 61, and when the jig rate 52 degrees 51 swings by the rotation of the cam 510, its bosses 56 and 58 The support arms ss and so that are in contact with each other swing together, so that the clamp roller 22 moves up and down together with the roller shaft 61. Here, the clamp roller 21
and 22 are such that when the cam roller 53 is at the peak of the cam 51, the clamp rollers 21 and 22 are separated from each other and are in an open state, and when they are at the trough, they are close to each other. It becomes closed.

With such a configuration, the opening/closing operation of the shutter 2 and the rotating part 3 are controlled.
The opening and closing operations of the crank rows 221 and 22 provided in the
The drive is configured to be performed using two drive source knob drive motors 30.

When the shutter is opened, the gear 46 is rotated counterclockwise as described above, and at this time, the gear 4T is separated from the cam drive gear 50, so the cam 51 does not rotate and the clamp rollers 21 and 22 remain stationary. However, when the shutter is closed, the gear 33 meshes with the cam drive gear 50 by the action of the leaf spring 49, which causes the cam 51 to rotate and open/close the clamp rollers 21, 22.

After the customer inserts a bill, the cam 51 is configured to clamp the inserted bill 112 so that the clamp rollers 21 and 22 are immediately closed when the shutter 2 is closed.
The shape of the image is determined, thereby reducing the processing time.

Furthermore, as mentioned above, since the shutter 2 operates via the pulley 40 which is frictionally driven by the bushing 38, the shaft 34 will slide against the pulley 40 until the closing operation of the clamp rollers 21 and 22 is completed. .

Further, in order to rotate the rotating section 3 and the clamp rollers 21 and 22, a drive motor 62 shown in FIG. 8 is provided.

It is designed to slide in a fixed direction. Also, this slide lever 7
A spring 76 is passed between one end of 5 and the post 74, and normally the force of this spring T6 biases the slide lever T5, thereby biasing the slide lever 7.
A pin T7 fixed to the gear 71 is engaged with the gear 71. In the state where the pin TT is engaged with the gear T1, when the rotational power of the drive motor 52 is transmitted to the gear 71, it is transmitted to the 7-lunge 7 via the slide lever 75 and the boss T4.
The rotational power is applied to the flange 7 through the support shaft 54 which is rotatably supported by the 7 flanges 73 and 72.
Since the rotational power is transmitted to the rotor 2, the entire rotating portion 3 rotates.

Between the flanges 72 and 73 is the bill guide 4a described above.
, 4b are attached, and these banknote guides 4a, 4b are attached.
By the rotation of the rotary unit 3, the banknotes are separated and counted at the customer position, which is the position for depositing money from the customer and for paying the customer, and at the receiving position, which receives banknotes from the first banknote stacking unit 8 and the second banknote stacking unit 9. The angle changes to the sending position c1 for sending out to the unit 6 and the sending position d for sending out banknotes and statement sheets to the temporary receiving box are the same as in the conventional case.

Therefore, the side frame 15 is equipped with a customer position detection sensor 78 and a receiving position detection sensor 79, as shown in FIGS.
, delivery position detection sensors 80 and 81 are attached, and by detecting the position detection lever 82 fixed to the shaft 19 and rotating integrally with the rotating part 3 by these sensors, the bill guide 4 a e The rotation of the rotating part 3 is controlled so that the rotating part 4b is reliably stationary at each of the above positions.

On the other hand, when the slide lever 75 (FIGS. 8 and 9) slides against the force of the spring T6, and the pin 77 fixed to the slide lever T5 comes off from the gear 59, The clamp rollers 21 and 22 are rotated by the following means.

That is, as shown in FIG. 10, a belt 85 is stretched between a pulley 83 and a pulley 84 fixed to the gear 71, and the support shaft 86 of the boot IJ 84 is connected to seven flange 72.

11 rotates as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 3, thereby opening the rear ends of the banknote guide)', 4a, and 4b. The foreign matter falls into the temporary intake box 14 due to its own weight.

The bottom of this temporary intake box 14 is a separation section 116 that functions as a sieve as described above, and therefore, fallen foreign matter passes through this separation section 116 and is discharged through a delivery path 118 to a foreign matter return port 117. be done.

At this time, if a foreign object passing through the delivery path 118 is detected by the sensor 119, an audio output device (not shown) or a CR
A notification means such as a T-display notifies the customer that the foreign object has been released, and the customer recognizes that the foreign object has been released and removes the coin 113 that he accidentally mixed in through the foreign object return port 117.
After that, the rotating unit 3 rotates in the direction opposite to the arrow M so that the banknote guide 4a * 4b is at the angle of the delivery unit rILc, and the banknote 112 is moved to the clamp roller 21.22. is sent to the separation/counting section 6 by the rotation of the .

Thereafter, banknote deposit processing operations are performed in the same manner as before.

Further, since the processing operation of the payment transaction is also performed in the same procedure as before, the explanation thereof will be omitted here, but in this payment transaction, if the customer forgets to take out the banknote 112, the banknote will be moved by the rotation unit 3. The banknotes 112 and the receipt are sent into the temporary receiving box 14 together with the receipt, but the banknote 112 and the receipt are received by the separating section 116 and are not discharged to the foreign object return port 117. Although the explanation has been made regarding an automatic teller machine for depositing and paying banknotes, it is also applicable to an automatic teller machine exclusively for depositing or paying bills.

Further, in the above embodiment, the stopper 111 has a rotating structure, but it can also have a sliding structure.

Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, after the customer pulls out a bill from the bill guides 4a, 4b during a payment transaction or returning a bill, the bill guides 4a, 4b are placed in the delivery section [d state, and the stopper 111 If the banknotes 112 are controlled to be opened, even if a foreign object such as a coin 113 gets mixed in when the customer takes out the banknotes 112, the banknotes can be returned to the customer.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention provides a stopper in the rotating part that operates to open and close the rear end of the banknote guide, a foreign object return port in the front of the case, and a separation part in the bottom of the temporary receiving box. This separating section and the foreign object return port are connected by a delivery path, and after the customer inserts and takes out cash by opening the shutter at the time of deposit or payment, the banknote guide corresponds to the temporary receiving box. The rotating part is rotated to a position where the money is inserted, and the stopper is operated to open the rear end of the bill guide.

Even if a foreign object such as a coin gets mixed in when taking out a coin, it can be immediately returned to the customer through the foreign object return slot. This method has the effect of eliminating these troubles because it saves the trouble of importing data.

In addition, since the foreign object is automatically and immediately returned to the customer, the problem of the staff not being able to determine which customer the foreign object belongs to can be solved. This eliminates the need for staff to dispose of foreign objects, which improves the security of the device, and by placing a sensor to detect foreign objects in the delivery section, it notifies customers and records transaction data. There are also advantages such as being able to
