Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a banknote replenishment method in an automatic teller machine, and in particular, to perform both banknote deposit and withdrawal operations, and to recycle the deposited banknotes as withdrawals. The present invention relates to a banknote replenishment method for a type of recycling banknote deposit/disburse device.

(Prior art) Conventionally, when an automatic teller machine that performs this type of deposit/withdrawal operation runs out of banknotes, a bank employee pulls out the banknote storage and manually replenishes the banknotes. The banknotes were either set or refilled by inserting them into the handling port used by the customer, or by inserting bills in predetermined units, for example, every 100 bills, from a special refilling port at the rear. Also, when the number of sheets is large, the above-mentioned storage has to be manually operated.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The conventional system described above requires the assistance of a bank employee for any procedure, and even if it is an automatic machine, it requires an operator's assistance, and it is difficult for a person to operate the machine if it is installed outside the store. Even in cases where banknotes are not fully stocked, bank employees must be on standby to replenish banknotes, and replenishing banknote shortages, especially near the end of operating hours, is a heavy burden on bank employees. Also, for customers, if there is a shortage of withdrawal banknotes during use,
There were many drawbacks such as having to wait until the bank staff refilled the supplies.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The banknote replenishment system of the present invention provides, in addition to recycling-type deposit and withdrawal safes according to denominations, a withdrawal-only deposit box equipped with a dispensing mechanism, in which a replenishment bank is provided. When a recycling-type deposit/withdrawal safe is loaded with banknotes in advance, and a detection device with a built-in so-called near-end detects a shortage of banknotes in the recycle-type deposit/withdrawal safe, the banknotes are automatically dispensed from the deposit/withdrawal safe and refilled with banknotes. This is how it was done.

(Example) Next, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic side sectional view of a recycling type banknote dispensing device in which the present invention is implemented. First, the overall flow of banknotes through this deposit/withdrawal device will be explained. Generally, banknotes are conveyed through the device by means of rollers and endless pels, which are hung by rollers and rollers. The structure is such that it is easy to insert money for deposits and take it out for withdrawals at the front of the IVi device. To explain the deposit process, the deposited banknote bundle 2 inserted into the person exit 1 is passed through banknote feeding rollers 3a, 3b, 3c.
The sheets are peeled off one by one from the IC and sent into the conveyance path.

Before the conveyed banknotes are sent to the discrimination section 5, the leading ends of the banknotes are aligned in the skew correction section 4 in order to align the leading ends of the banknotes.

The discrimination section 5 checks the authenticity, denomination, front and back of the banknotes, abnormal conveyance, double stacking, etc. Those determined to be true are sent to the front and back pools 6.

If a fake or duplicate is detected, it will be sent to the withdrawal bool. The banknotes that have entered the withdrawal pool 7 are returned to the exit 1 for reinsertion. The front and back pools 6 are separated into front and back by a gate 6a. For example, those identified as fronts are fed into the pool from above, and those identified as backs are fed into the pool from below. In this state, the amounts are displayed, and when the customer judges that the amounts match and inputs a permission signal, bills are fed out one by one from the front and back pools 6 in the same manner as the exit 1, and the storage operation is performed. The storage operation passes through the discrimination section 5 in the same way as the deposit pass, and is transferred to the 10,000 yen note deposit/withdrawal holding section 10. The thousand yen bill is stored in the deposit/withdrawal storage section 11. Please refer to Section 2 regarding these withdrawal reservation sections.
This will be further described later with reference to FIGS.

Next, to explain the operation of withdrawal, the above-mentioned 10,000 yen note withdrawal holding unit 10 and 1000 yen note withdrawal holding unit 11 hold banknotes for withdrawal, and are equipped with a feeding mechanism. The desired number of sheets is fed out one by one according to the customer's request. In the case of withdrawal, the bill passes through the verification section 5 and is re-examined to see if it is correct, as in the case of deposit.

Bills with abnormalities after re-inspection are sent to the jet box 121C. Normal banknotes are stored in the withdrawal boule 7 and payment is made to the customer from the person exit 1.

Next, we will explain the loading and retrieval checks that are performed at the start and end of the work day. The replenishment inspection safe 13, which also serves as a collection, is in a cassette format that can be carried by the operator.
At the start of business, 10,000 yen notes and 1,000 yen notes deposit/withdrawal holding section 10. II
To set the Vc banknotes, feed them one by one,
The identification unit 5 checks the information and puts it on hold. At this time, in order to align the front and back sides, the front and back boule 61C is inserted as in the deposit operation,
It will be put on hold after being arranged. The details of the replenishment examination safe 13 are shown in FIG. 8, and will be further described later. When inspecting the coins, remove them from the holding section, re-identify them, and check the number and denomination.

Collect it in the safe 13. The operator takes out the collected items from the safe 13 and rechecks them.

The above is the basic operation of the bill depositing and dispensing device according to the present invention, and the human withdrawal holding section when implementing the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2 to 7. This person withdrawal holding section has a deposit holding section 41 and a withdrawal holding section 42 in a cover 37, and furthermore, the banknotes 31 in the withdrawal holding section 42 are transferred to a feeding roller 3.
3a, 33b.

Spring 3 is pressed against the threaded part consisting of 33c.
5 and a bill presser 36 for pressing the banknotes 32 in the deposit holding section 41 toward the deposit holding section 41 so as not to fall. First, FIG. 2 shows a state in which the withdrawal holding section 42 is full of banknotes 31 1/c, and the deposit holding section 41 contains banknotes for several transactions. From this state, new deposited banknotes are transferred to feeding port 4.
The money enters the deposit holding section 41 from o, and the deposit side bill valve 36 moves to the center as the money enters the deposit holding section 41, and the deposit holding section 41 eventually becomes full as shown in FIG. FIG. 4 shows a state in which the dispensing side banknotes are being fed out from the dispensing section, the banknotes in the dispensing holding section 42 are at the near end, and the deposit holding section 41 is full and running out. FIG. 5 shows the operation of the preparation work for moving the banknotes in the full deposit holding section 41 to the dispensing side. The money is sent to the feeding port 40 via the route shown by 43, and then transferred to the deposit holding section 41. At this time, the back-up plate 34 on the withdrawal side retreats as indicated by reference numeral 44 and moves to a position behind the banknotes on the deposit side (the position indicated by the chain line). Thereafter, as shown in FIG.
Move to 2. The banknote presser 36 on the deposit side moves to the withdrawal side while pressing down the banknotes on the deposit side, and returns to the deposit side again.

FIG. 7 shows the completed state in which banknotes have been transferred from the depositing side to the dispensing side.

FIG. 8 is a side sectional view of a replenishment inspection safe that also serves as a banknote collection, showing a replenishment area section 51 for loading at the start of work and for replenishment during the workday, and a collection area section 52 for inspection and collection at the end of the workday.
, each holding a banknote with a banknote backup plate 54,55.

The replenishment area section 51 is provided with feeding mechanisms 53a, 53b, and 53c, and the one recovery area section 52 is provided with an accumulation mechanism 56a.

56b, each of which is configured to be able to dispense and store banknotes.

Here, the replenishment means when the deposit/withdrawal reservation section runs out of banknotes will be explained. Conventionally, in such cases, banknotes were refilled manually by a bank employee, but in the present invention, a banknote shortage detection device (sensor) is provided, and a detection signal from this sensor causes the replenishment inspection safe 13 to replenish the banknotes from the replenishment mechanism unit, that is, the above-mentioned entry. The banknotes are to be transferred to the withdrawal holding section. To give a specific example, when the withdrawal holding section 42 reaches the near end with the deposit holding section 10 not full, this near end is handled by counting the number of yen notes and using the operation of the backup board 34. It is detected by a sensor (not shown), and this detection signal causes
In addition to loading at the start of business, bills previously set in a replenishment inspection safe 13 for replenishment of shortages are fed out, discriminated like the loading operation, front and back aligned, and set in a deposit holding part 41. The subsequent transfer from the deposit holding section 41 to the withdrawal holding section 42 is performed according to the operations shown in FIGS. 4 to 7 described above. In addition, since it is possible to withdraw money in two denominations, replenishment will be done at the same time in both denominations, but if there is no shortage in either denomination,
For example, when the 1,000 yen bill deposit/withdrawal holding section 11 is full, the money is collected in the replenishment inspection safe 13.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the present invention enables automatic replenishment during operation using the shortage detection signal and replenishment cassette for dispensing banknotes, thereby creating an automatic dispensing system that does not impose a burden on the operator. There are effects that can be provided.
