Description

Detailed Description of the Invention "Field of Industrial Application" The present invention relates to a banknote depositing and dispensing machine, and in particular, one denomination that reuses only one denomination of deposited banknotes with a large amount of circulation as a dispensing banknote. Regarding a circulating banknote deposit/dispensing machine.

``Prior Art'' For the purpose of efficiently depositing and withdrawing banknotes, there is a so-called circulation-type banknote depositing and dispensing machine that reuses deposited banknotes as disbursed banknotes.

Conventionally, as such a circulating banknote depositing and dispensing machine, there is one described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 100283/1983. When depositing, this bill depositing and dispensing machine distinguishes the deposited bills and stores them in a deposit distribution box, and then feeds out the bills one by one from the deposit distribution box and separates them into 10,000-note box, 5,000-note box, and 1,000-note box for each denomination. The banknotes are distributed and stored in the boxes, and at the time of withdrawal, bills are dispensed one by one from each box according to the payment instruction amount and are paid out to the transaction port via the withdrawal processing route.

``Problems to be Solved by the Invention'' However, since this bill depositing and dispensing machine attempts to circulate all denominations, multiple storage boxes for circulating bills are required, and the withdrawal process is difficult. It is necessary to connect each box for each denomination to the route so that they do not interfere with each other, and also to arrange the deposit distribution box avoiding the placement position of each box for each denomination. It is a complicated structure in which a collection wheel, a payout mechanism, etc. are respectively installed in each box and deposit distribution box. Therefore, the size of the apparatus tends to increase, and noise is likely to be generated when processing all the people.

Also, considering the case of depositing and withdrawing money using current Bank of Japan notes, there is a high possibility that a large number of deposits or withdrawals will be made for the 10,000-notes, which have the highest circulation, but for the 1,000- and 5,000-notes, There are almost no cases where it is necessary to deposit or withdraw as many coins as 10,000 yen, and if a large number of coins are needed, the demand can be met by using an automatic money changer or the like.

Therefore, the amount remaining in the box for ten thousand notes may decrease and the banknotes cannot be dispensed, or the deposited banknote storage section may become full and cannot be accepted. Even in this case, it is necessary to completely stop the deposit/withdrawal process and replenish or collect banknotes of the relevant denomination. Furthermore, frequent replenishment and collection operations inevitably reduce the operating rate of the device.

In addition, if we try to increase the bill storage capacity inside the machine to avoid the decline in the operating rate mentioned above, the size of the machine will inevitably increase, and a large amount of cash will be present in the deposit/withdrawal machine.
It is also unfavorable from the standpoint of capital efficiency.

The present invention effectively solves the above problems, increases the operating rate while maintaining the current size of the device, and furthermore,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a bill depositing and dispensing machine that can easily manage the remaining amount of bills, etc.

"Means for Solving the Problems" In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a transaction port device that is connected to the outside of the machine, stores deposited banknotes or withdrawn banknotes, and takes the deposited banknotes into the machine one by one. In the banknote deposit/dispensing machine located on the front of the machine, there is a discrimination section that discriminates the bills taken in from the transaction port device, and a banknote that is discriminated as "true" by the discrimination section is stored inside the banknote of a denomination with a large amount of circulation. a recycle banknote storage unit that stores banknotes and can feed out the stored banknotes one by one when withdrawing; a deposited banknote storage device that stores deposited banknotes of denominations other than the recycle banknotes;
The present invention is configured to include a payout banknote storage device for storing payout banknotes of denominations other than the recirculated banknotes.

"Function" The bill depositing and dispensing machine of the present invention circulates only the banknotes of the most commonly circulated denomination that are reused as dispensing banknotes out of the deposited banknotes, and circulates the banknotes of the most frequently circulated denominations among the deposited banknotes through the recycle banknote storage section. All types of deposited banknotes are deposited into the deposited banknote storage device, and disbursed banknotes other than recirculated banknotes are withdrawn from the disbursed banknote storage device. In the deposit process, when the deposited banknotes are inserted into the transaction port device, after being verified, the banknote receiver is temporarily stored in the transfer device via a common route, and after the verification process for all the banknotes is completed, the receiver is transferred to the transfer device. The receipt is then passed back to the transaction opening device and passed through the identification route and deposit route.
Depending on the denomination, banknotes with a large amount of circulation are stored in the recycling banknote storage section.
Other banknotes are stored in the deposited banknote storage device.

"Example" Hereinafter, one example of the bill depositing and dispensing machine of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

The bill depositing and dispensing machine of this embodiment is configured to reuse and circulate only the denomination of the most widely distributed banknotes (Bank of Japan banknotes: 10,000 bills) out of the deposited bills.

First, based on FIG. 1, the outline of the entire bill depositing and dispensing machine will be explained.

When there is a deposit command, a shutter 3 of a transaction port device 2 provided in the machine body 1 is operated to open a deposit/withdrawal port 4.

When a deposit is received, the banknotes are held down by a banknote holding mechanism 5 (not shown in FIG. 1) and appropriate pressure is applied, and the banknotes are pulled out one by one by a deposited banknote feeding mechanism 6.
The deposited banknotes are conveyed to the validation section 8 via the validation route 7.

In this inspection section, the banknotes whose denomination and authenticity (and, if necessary, whether or not a shield ring can be used, front and back, top and bottom, etc.) have been judged are guided to a common route 10 by a first fork 9.

Banknotes that are identified as [true (acceptable)] in the discrimination unit 8 are guided to the collection route 12 by the second fork 11, and banknotes that are identified as [false (acceptable)] are guided to the stacking route 12. You will be guided to Zectroute 13. The banknotes on the stacking route 12 are stacked one after another on a mounting plate 17 forming a part of the stacking and transferring mechanism 16 by the temporary storage stacking car 15 in the bill passing device 14. The banknotes are fed into the Jektro 18.

After the banknotes on the placement plate 17 are transferred to above the deposit/withdrawal port 4, they are dropped onto the deposit/withdrawal port 4 again, and are conveyed to the discrimination route 7 by the deposited banknote payout mechanism 6.

In the discrimination section 8, the banknotes that have been identified as a specific denomination with a large amount of circulation (hereinafter referred to as ``10,000 notes'' as they are virtually 10,000 notes in Japan) are guided to the deposit route 19 by the first fork 9, and are transferred. The third fork 20 serves as a part and sends the recycled banknotes to the recirculated banknote storage section 22 via the recirculated banknote accumulation car 21. Further, banknotes other than [10,000 notes] are guided to the deposited banknote storage device 23 by the third fork 20, and are stored in the deposit box 25 by the deposited banknote storage accumulation car 24.

On the other hand, if there is a withdrawal instruction, [For Mankenko,

S58: Close the shutter 3.

The withdrawal process is now complete.

Next, the operation of replenishing the banknotes for withdrawal and the operation of collecting the banknotes in the machine body I will be explained.

"Replenishment Operation" To replenish [10,000 notes], open the door 68 that supports the deposited banknote storage device 23, expose the recycled banknote storage section 22 at the back of the door to the front of the machine I, and then open the recirculated banknote storage section 22. This can be done by opening the opening of the illustrated path at 22 and loading banknotes from outside the machine I. Alternatively, the banknotes can be replenished from the transaction port device 2 according to the mode of the deposit distribution process. It is also possible to count supplementary banknotes at the same time.

To replenish [1,000 bills], the upper part of the engagement lever 80 of the withdrawal box 79 in the withdrawal banknote storage device 28 is released from the engagement member 83, and the upper part of the engagement lever 80 is released. When the dispensing box 79 is tilted counterclockwise in FIG. 8 centering on the lower part of the engagement lever 80 while removing it from the notch 82, the opening 84 of the dispensing box 79 is opened to the outside of the machine body 1, and the opening 84 is opened to the outside of the machine body 1. This is done by loading banknotes into the payout box 79 from 84.

"Collection operation" Collection of "10,000 tickets" is carried out by the third fork 20 and the fourth fork 30 through the withdrawal route 27, and the distribution is carried out by the transport section 87.
Then, the deposited banknote storage device 23 is kept in a connected state, and the recirculation banknote feeding mechanism 26 of the recirculation banknote storage section 22 is driven to feed out the banknotes one by one.
After storing the money in the money deposit box 25, the door 68 is opened, the door 68 and the money deposit box 25 are separated, and the money is collected from the money deposit box 25.

[Collection of thousands of tickets can be performed by knocking down the withdrawal box 79 and collecting them from the withdrawal box 79 in the same way as the replenishment operation. Similar to the operation, the withdrawal route 27 and the distribution are made by connecting the transport section 87 and the deposited banknote storage device d23.
It is also possible to feed out banknotes one by one from the payout box 79 using the two payout banknote payout mechanisms, store them in the deposit box 25 of the deposited banknote storage device 23, and collect them from the deposit box 25.

As mentioned above, this bill depositing and dispensing machine has [
Only 10,000 banknotes are reused as withdrawal banknotes and circulated through the recycling banknote storage section 22, and all deposited banknotes of other denominations and abnormally conveyed banknotes during withdrawal processing are deposited into the deposited banknote storage device 23. The money is stored in the box 25, and 1,000 tickets are stored in the withdrawal box 79 for use in withdrawal. In the deposit distribution process, after the verified [true] banknotes are passed through the common route IO 1 accumulation route 12 and accumulated in the banknote transfer device 14 , the banknote is transferred to the transaction port device 2 and transferred to the deposit route 19 . For the withdrawal process, use the withdrawal route 27.
The withdrawal banknotes transported by the common route 10
After the banknote receiver is accumulated in the transfer device 14 via the accumulation route 12, the receiver is delivered to the transaction port device 2 and dispensed. The route IO1 accumulation route 12 and the bill receiver share the passing device 14 and the transaction outlet device 2.

That is, in this bill depositing and dispensing machine, there are three locations where deposited bills and disbursed bills are stored: the recirculation bill storage section 22, the deposited bill storage device 23, and the disbursed bill storage device 28. The deposited banknote storage device 23 only stores banknotes and does not perform a feeding operation. Therefore, compared to the conventional example, it is possible to reduce the number of banknote storage sections and a feeding mechanism, and the above-mentioned common parts allow the machine body 1 By making effective use of the internal space, it is possible to downsize the fuselage 1. In this case, the withdrawal box 79 of the withdrawal bill storage device 28
is in a state of inclination with respect to the fuselage l, so that the dimensions of the fuselage l, especially in the upper and lower directions, can be reduced.

On the other hand, after the verification of deposited banknotes is completed or when dispensing banknotes, the banknote receiver is a passing device! When the banknotes stacked at 4 are transferred to the transaction opening device 2, the banknotes are dropped into the banknotes so that the banknotes can be passed to the bank in the stacked state, and the banknotes are held in the stacked state using a clamp or the like. Banknotes can be received and transferred easily and reliably without the need for a special transport mechanism for transporting banknotes.

Furthermore, if the recycle banknote storage unit 22, which is automatically replenished with banknotes through the deposit process, is arranged in the center of the machine body 1, the deposit banknote storage unit 23, which only performs the banknote storage process, and the withdrawal process Dispensing banknote storage device 28 where only
are disposed on the side of the machine body l, so that the banknote collection operation for the deposited banknote storage device 23 and the replenishment operation for the withdrawal banknote storage device 28 can be facilitated.

The denomination of banknotes with the highest volume of circulation differs depending on the location of the store where the device is installed, or whether the banknotes are handled by the Bank of Japan or foreign currencies. A switch is installed on the aircraft to select whether it should be determined that the distribution volume is the highest, and by operating this switch based on past data under the applicable usage conditions, the distribution will change the operating conditions of the section. Just do it.

In addition, the data of the classification results in the classification section is stored in a storage device attached to the bill depositing/dispensing machine, and is accumulated over a predetermined period (for example, the previous day, the previous week), and based on that data, the It may also be possible to determine which banknotes have a large amount, switch the operating conditions of the distribution unit, and send that denomination to the recycling banknote storage unit.

"Effects of the Invention" As is clear from the above description, the bill depositing and dispensing machine of the present invention can provide the following effects.

(1) Among the deposited banknotes, only one denomination of banknotes to be reused as withdrawal banknotes is circulated through the recycling banknote storage unit, and all other denominations of deposited banknotes are stored in the deposited banknote storage device, and , Withdrawal banknotes other than circulating banknotes are stored in the dispensing banknote storage device, and there are three locations where banknotes are stored: the recirculating banknote storage unit, the deposited banknote storage device, and the dispensing banknote storage device. In this case, the deposited banknote storage device only stores banknotes and does not perform a feeding operation, and therefore, compared to the conventional example, the number of banknote storage sections and a feeding mechanism can be reduced.

(11) In the deposit distribution process, the bill receiver sends the bill after discrimination to the transfer device via a common route, and after temporarily storing it until the discrimination process is completed, the bill is delivered to the transaction opening device and deposited. At the same time, the withdrawal route is connected to the common route, and the common route is used for withdrawal processing, and the transfer device and transaction port device are used for bill receiving, so space inside the aircraft can be used effectively. Can be done.

(iii) Since the payout banknote storage device is provided in an inclined state with respect to the machine body, the dimensions of the machine body, especially in the vertical direction, can be reduced.

(1v) With the above (i) (ii

(v) Since the denomination with the highest circulation volume is selected as the denomination to be stored in the recirculated banknote storage section, the amount of banknotes to be stored in the machine can be reduced, and the device can be made more compact. This not only makes it possible to improve the efficiency of fund management, but also reduces the frequency of banknote collection and replenishment, thereby reducing the amount of effort required for management.
