Thus, receipt and lump return of the paper money is facilitated.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Objective of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention temporarily stores deposited banknotes in an accumulated state, and when the deposit is approved, stores the time-reserved banknotes in a banknote storage section classified by type. A circulating banknote dispenser in which the temporarily reserved banknotes are returned to the operator when returning deposits, and the deposited banknotes stored in the banknote storage section for withdrawal among the banknote storage sections by type are fed out at the time of withdrawal. A banknote storage device used in a cash machine, etc. has a banknote storage section in which banknotes are stored in an accumulated state, and in which banknotes are received and dispensed in an upper area, and a banknote storage unit provided in the upper area of this storage unit to store banknotes. The present invention relates to a banknote storage device that includes a banknote dispensing means for dispensing banknotes, and a pedestal that is provided to be movable up and down within the storage section and on which banknotes are placed in a stacked state.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, for example, in the above-mentioned circulating banknote deposit/dispensing machine, deposited banknotes inserted into a transaction port are recognized one by one by an identification unit, and genuine banknotes are classified into multiple denominations. A mixed batch of banknotes is temporarily stored in a bulk temporary storage unit near the transaction opening, and when the operator approves the deposit, one banknote is released from this bulk temporary storage unit.
The bills are fed out one by one and stored in the banknote storage section through the identification section or another identification section, and further, if the operator disapproves, the bills are returned all at once to the operator.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The conventional machine described above is intended to quickly return deposited banknotes 11 if the operator disapproves the deposit. However, as this type of machine has become more widespread, the usage status by operators has also 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. It's clear.

However, even if the deposit approval operation is performed, there is a problem in that it takes a very long time to store the banknotes from the banknote storage section to the banknote storage section, and it is not possible to proceed to the next deposit or withdrawal operation.

As a method to solve this problem, separate temporary storage spaces are provided above each banknote storage section for each denomination, and banknotes are temporarily stored in these temporary storage spaces. I devised something to do.

However, with the above method, the banknotes temporarily held in the temporary holding space must be stored all at once with the banknote dispensing means in the upper area of the banknote storage section retracted when the deposit is approved, and the banknotes temporarily held in the temporary holding space must be stored all at once with the banknote dispensing means in the upper area of the banknote storage section retracted. Sometimes, it is necessary to have a mechanism for returning temporarily held banknotes from the temporary holding space to the operator all at once, and it is also necessary to provide these mechanisms for each temporary holding space. As a result, the problem arises that the height of the machine becomes high, the machine becomes large, and a large space is required.

Therefore, as a method to solve these problems, we came up with the idea of temporarily storing banknotes using the banknote storage space of the banknote storage unit, and devised a banknote storage device that can do this.

This is because if this device is obtained, the problems associated with temporary holding in conventional circulating banknote depositing and dispensing machines can be solved by replacing the conventional banknote storage section with this device. Therefore,
A banknote storage unit in which banknotes are stored in a stacked state and in which banknotes are received and dispensed in an upper area; a banknote dispensing means provided in the upper area of the storage unit for feeding out banknotes; and a banknote payout unit that is movable up and down within the storage unit. In a banknote storage device having a cradle, which is provided in a cradle, from which banknotes can be placed in a stacked state, when the cradle is lowered, the banknotes are moved to a forward and backward position higher than the upper surface of the stacked banknotes on the cradle, which has been lowered to a predetermined position in the storage part. a'3, which is provided so as to be able to freely enter into the storage section in a substantially horizontal direction; ``a partition member that forms a temporary storage space for banknotes is provided in the upper area of the storage section;
When storing time-reserved banknotes, the partition material is advanced and withdrawn from the cradle, and temporarily-reserved banknotes are added to the top of the stacked banknotes on the cradle, and when paying out time-retention banknotes, the partition material is moved against the stopped pedestal. Only the partition material can be raised by the special vertical movement,
It is configured such that the temporarily reserved banknotes are fed out through the banknote feeding means.

Although we were able to see a solution to most of the problems mentioned above with the above-mentioned device, the problem is that the structure is undeniably complicated because it requires a dedicated vertical movement for the partition material. remain.

Particularly, the first invention of the present invention is intended to solve these problems, and in particular, the ascending movement of the partition material is carried out through the accumulated banknotes on the pedestal that is raised by the pedestal vertical mechanism. This is what I did.

By the way, when the pedestal is lowered, the partition material placed on the top surface of the stacked banknotes on the pedestal also descends to the advancing/retracting position, but this partition material may not descend smoothly, and in this case, the partition material It comes to a halt midway through the descent, remains in the storage section, and cannot exit the storage section. As a result, there is a problem in that the partition material gets in the way when the banknotes are fed out, making it impossible to feed out the banknotes.

The second invention also solves these problems.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the banknote storage device of the first invention provides a banknote storage device in which banknotes are stored in a stacked state, and banknotes are accepted and delivered in an upper area. A banknote storage device having a banknote dispensing unit, a banknote dispensing means provided in an upper area of the storage unit for dispensing banknotes, and a pedestal provided to be movable up and down within the storage unit and on which banknotes are placed in a stacked state, is provided so as to be able to freely enter into the storage section in an approximately horizontal direction at an advancing/retracting position higher than the upper surface of the stacked banknotes on the cradle that has been lowered to a predetermined position of the accommodating section when the cradle is lowered; A partition member that forms a temporary storage space for banknotes; a partition device member that allows the partition member to be placed upwardly in a bonded manner and that allows the partition member to enter or exit the storage unit at its advancing/retracting position; and the storage unit A guide member that engages with the partition material entering the partition and performs a kite when the partition material moves up and down; The cradle is positioned at a lower position than the advancing/retracting position height, and the pedestal has a top and bottom structure in which the cradle is tilted upward to direct (or suppress) the banknote toward the banknote feeding means when feeding stored banknotes or temporarily reserved banknotes. It is something.

Further, the banknote storage device of the second Mth invention includes a horizontal movement mechanism that moves the partition material placement & S material in a substantially horizontal direction to cause the partition material to enter or exit the storage section in the first invention; A driving rotary plate that operates the horizontal movement mechanism is provided, and when the drive rotary plate is operated by the driving rotary plate and the pedestal is lowered, the top surface of the stacked banknotes on the pedestal is located at a position lower than the advancing/retracting position height of the partition member. The device further includes a guide member lowering mechanism that lowers the guide member to position the partition member at a forward and backward position with respect to the storage portion, and prepares for movement of the partition material mounting member for withdrawing the partition member.

(Function) With the above-described configuration, the cradle is raised by the cradle vertical structure when dispensing temporarily reserved banknotes on the partition material extending into the storage section in the advancing/retracting position. By raising the partitioning material through the banknotes on the pedestal, the temporarily reserved banknotes on the partitioning member are pressed toward the banknote dispensing means.

No. 2 [According to the invention of 1, in the operation of the first invention, when the top surface of the stacked banknotes on the pedestal is located at a position lower than the height of the advancing/retracting position of the partition material due to the lowering of the pedestal, the driving rotation occurs. The guide member lowering mechanism is initially set by the plate to position the partition material in the advancing/retracting position, and the partition material in this advancing/retracting position is moved out of the storage section through the drive rotary plate, the horizontal movement mechanism, and the partition material placement member.
